I_m Dating A Broke Loser · THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

0:00
Speaker 1: I'm dating a broke guy and it really, really sucks
0:04
Speaker 1: because he has the best personality, hands down.
0:08
Speaker 2: I will never understand the people who have the impulse
0:10
Speaker 2: to go on the internet and publicly shame the person
0:12
Speaker 2: that they're dating. Is this chick really out there saying,
0:15
Speaker 2: hey everyone, I just want you to know that my
0:18
Speaker 2: boyfriend is a broke loser.
0:20
Speaker 1: So in the past, like we have taken trips, but
0:23
Speaker 1: I've paid for the trips. I've paid for the hotel.
0:26
Speaker 1: I've paid for the rental of the car. If we've
0:29
Speaker 1: been to concerts, I've paid for the tickets. He does
0:33
Speaker 1: what he can when he can, but he doesn't do enough. Oh, right.
0:40
Speaker 2: He's getting the Prince treatment from his provider woman. He
0:43
Speaker 2: gets to go on vacation and go to some nice hotels.
0:46
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to worry about paying for the rental
0:48
Speaker 2: car either. And if he wants to go to a concert,
0:51
Speaker 2: she's got the bill. This sounds great. If she wants
0:54
Speaker 2: to provide, then let her spoil her high standards man.
0:58
Speaker 2: Sarcasm aside, notice the demeaning language that she uses to
1:01
Speaker 2: describe his behavior. Oh, he does what he can. He
1:04
Speaker 2: pays for his own gas. Like, she clearly is not
1:07
Speaker 2: into having to pay for stuff, and she's just coping.
1:10
Speaker 2: Yet another win for feminism. Anyway, this is 30-year-old Jennifer
1:14
Speaker 2: who's been in a relationship with her boyfriend for two years. Apparently,
1:17
Speaker 2: that relationship is not going so well. So about a
1:20
Speaker 2: year ago, she decided to confide in her TikTok audience.
1:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it sucks. Like, it's crazy because I
1:26
Speaker 1: don't think like I feel like females come on online
1:30
Speaker 1: and talk about like, look what.
1:31
Speaker 3: He bought me.
1:32
Speaker 4: Look what he got me.
1:34
Speaker 1: It's like the ones that are dating the broke men.
1:37
Speaker 3: We don't talk about it. But it's like, no, I mean,
1:40
Speaker 3: I don't know.
1:40
Speaker 1: There has to be like a conversation about it.
1:43
Speaker 2: They don't go to TikTok to call their boyfriend broke
1:45
Speaker 2: because they're smart enough to know that it's not appropriate.
1:48
Speaker 2: And if you have the need to publicly shame the
1:49
Speaker 2: person that you're with instead of talking to your close
1:51
Speaker 2: family and friends about it, then you aren't really worthy
1:54
Speaker 2: of a relationship. I mean, she has clearly seen the
1:57
Speaker 2: spoiled girly side of TikTok and is mad that she's
1:59
Speaker 2: not one of those girls. She's focused on what luxury
2:02
Speaker 2: items a guy can buy her instead of building an
2:04
Speaker 2: actual connection with the person. And, well, I would hate
2:06
Speaker 2: to kill your dreams, but most of these rich lifestyle
2:09
Speaker 2: or look-my-man-flew-me-out-on-his-private-jet videos are fake. Tons of women on TikTok
2:14
Speaker 2: and Instagram pretend to be rich for clout. Guys do
2:17
Speaker 2: it too. Renting luxury purses or a Lamborghini is not
2:20
Speaker 2: impossible to afford. The girls who are pretending a little
2:23
Speaker 2: bit less to be living in luxury are actually dumping
2:26
Speaker 2: every cent they have into vacations, so they come home broke.
2:29
Speaker 2: and the ones who can actually do all those things
2:31
Speaker 2: without destroying their finances are exceedingly rare and often in
2:35
Speaker 2: a pathological relationship. More importantly, as for Jennifer, nothing will
2:39
Speaker 2: kill a relationship faster than a girl comparing herself to
2:42
Speaker 2: internet fantasies and saying... Why am I not getting those things?
2:46
Speaker 2: Why didn't you take me to France like this guy
2:48
Speaker 2: did for his girlfriend's birthday?
2:50
Speaker 1: It's gotten to the point where it definitely sucks because
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm not doing as well financially. I can't afford to
2:58
Speaker 1: do things for two people. I can't even afford to
3:01
Speaker 1: do things just myself right now, so.
3:03
Speaker 2: Well, shit, you can afford those nails. You can afford
3:06
Speaker 2: to dye your hair. You can afford fake eyelashes, foundation, blush,
3:09
Speaker 2: and lip tint. I've been to Sephora before. I know
3:12
Speaker 2: how expensive that shit is. Isn't Supreme an expensive brand too?
3:16
Speaker 2: This video is about her boyfriend being broke, but I
3:18
Speaker 2: kind of get the feeling that she's not that financially
3:20
Speaker 2: responsible either. This is like a My 600-lb Life episode
3:24
Speaker 2: where they stick a 300-lb person next to a 600-lb person,
3:27
Speaker 2: and the 300-lb person acts like they're the concerned healthy one. No,
3:31
Speaker 2: both of you are unhealthy. If you make $ 100, 000 a
3:34
Speaker 2: year and you end up broke like the guy making $ 10, 000
3:37
Speaker 2: a year, then you are no more financially responsible than
3:40
Speaker 2: he is. I wonder what she does for a living. Unfortunately,
3:43
Speaker 2: she deleted her TikTok account, which makes me mad because
3:45
Speaker 2: there's so much missing context here that I can usually
3:48
Speaker 2: find by watching a few videos.
3:50
Speaker 1: Because I can't afford to do things for two, we
3:52
Speaker 1: actually don't do anything.
3:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's definitely not good with money. There are plenty
3:57
Speaker 2: of ways that you can leave the house that aren't
3:59
Speaker 2: that expensive. You can go on a nature walk, you
4:01
Speaker 2: can get coffee or ice cream, you can visit friends,
4:04
Speaker 2: you can go to the beach or a lake or
4:06
Speaker 2: a river. I'm assuming that you have money for gas
4:09
Speaker 2: because you have money for vacation. And the fact that
4:11
Speaker 2: she can't just rattle off cheap date ideas makes me
4:14
Speaker 2: think that she doesn't know how to conserve her money.
4:16
Speaker 1: If I'm being for real, for honest, like in September
4:20
Speaker 1: for my birthday month, he does celebrate me around those times, though.
4:25
Speaker 1: He does celebrate me around the holidays.
4:27
Speaker 2: Birthday month? She definitely spends a lot of time on TikTok.
4:30
Speaker 2: I can hear the brain rot in the words that
4:32
Speaker 2: she uses, and I'm starting to see why she thought
4:34
Speaker 2: it was a smart idea to publicly shame the person
4:36
Speaker 2: she's dating, like all the other women on TikTok who
4:39
Speaker 2: do that for clout. which is really just shaming herself
4:42
Speaker 2: because she's the person staying with the loser.
4:44
Speaker 5: I feel like it's.
4:44
Speaker 1: Kind of getting to the point where if I'm not
4:47
Speaker 1: the breadwinner or if I'm not, if I don't somehow
4:52
Speaker 1: make my life lead me up to making income for two,
4:56
Speaker 1: I don't think that I'm going to be able to
4:58
Speaker 1: be with this person. And it just really sucks because
5:00
Speaker 1: it's he, like I said, he has like the best
5:02
Speaker 1: personality hands down.
5:04
Speaker 5: So I'm on.
5:05
Speaker 2: Here to ask, what do I do? Stop watching TikTok videos.
5:09
Speaker 2: It's that simple. I think that would solve most of
5:11
Speaker 2: your problems here. If there's a girl talking to a
5:14
Speaker 2: camera while she's doing makeup, then that's not a video
5:16
Speaker 2: that you should be watching. You're welcome. But what's with
5:19
Speaker 2: the personality stuff? Guys only say a chick has a
5:22
Speaker 2: great personality if she's not that physically attractive. I can
5:25
Speaker 2: imagine that this is a similar cope but for reasons
5:28
Speaker 2: other than appearance, where she is emotionally attached to a
5:30
Speaker 2: guy that she doesn't want and probably doesn't have very
5:33
Speaker 2: many close friends or family that she can confide in,
5:36
Speaker 2: so she uses TikTok as her therapist. Always a mistake.
5:40
Speaker 2: But he must be more attractive than her or she
5:42
Speaker 2: would be gone. Both men and women will stupidly put
5:45
Speaker 2: up with people they don't like that much if their
5:47
Speaker 2: partner is more attractive.
5:48
Speaker 1: I had my narcissist ex-boyfriend who made way more money
5:53
Speaker 1: than I did. And, you know, that wasn't the answer. Like,
5:58
Speaker 1: so it's like, where is the common ground? Like, and
6:01
Speaker 1: obviously I do have a little bit of fear. Like,
6:03
Speaker 1: if I stay with him during this whole time and
6:08
Speaker 1: I continue... to help out is he gonna just walk
6:14
Speaker 1: away when he does better it's so crazy because it's
6:17
Speaker 1: like i really really like him and i really really
6:19
Speaker 1: really like don't want to like.
6:23
Speaker 2: Not be with him another tiktok addict checklist item my
6:27
Speaker 2: ex was a narcissist not to say that her ex
6:29
Speaker 2: wasn't cruel i don't know because i wasn't there but
6:32
Speaker 2: it's said so often by women on the internet who
6:34
Speaker 2: are undateable that i see that phrase as a red
6:37
Speaker 2: flag There's a certain type of woman who says that,
6:39
Speaker 2: and if you're paying attention to the wording here, the
6:42
Speaker 2: point of focus is not who this guy is as
6:44
Speaker 2: a person, or if they have compatible values, or if
6:46
Speaker 2: they have similar goals, if they get along well, or
6:49
Speaker 2: if they have chemistry. She's focusing completely on the money. Well,
6:53
Speaker 2: I tried a guy with a lot of money, and
6:55
Speaker 2: then I tried a guy with no money. What's the problem?
6:58
Speaker 2: The problem is that you aren't financially responsible or in
7:01
Speaker 2: control of your negative impulses, and you're shouting out all
7:04
Speaker 2: of your personal drama in the public square, and So
7:06
Speaker 2: no decent guy is willing to date you. It doesn't
7:09
Speaker 2: matter how much money the guy makes. Until you change
7:11
Speaker 2: your behaviors, you are only going to attract losers. Losers
7:15
Speaker 2: who are so flaky that you're afraid of them leaving
7:17
Speaker 2: you the minute they get a few dollars in their
7:19
Speaker 2: bank account. What kind of guy just leaves a girl
7:21
Speaker 2: because he started making more money? If that's a fear
7:24
Speaker 2: of yours, then it sounds like you are super emotionally
7:26
Speaker 2: attached and he doesn't care about you that much at all.
7:29
Speaker 2: Which means there is no relationship. Because if you had
7:32
Speaker 2: gotten the emotional part of the relationship correct, It should
7:35
Speaker 2: be so mentally painful to leave you that he would
7:37
Speaker 2: never think about doing that. By the way, she says,
7:40
Speaker 2: he has the best personality, followed by demeaning him. You
7:44
Speaker 2: can see that she wants to leave, but she is
7:46
Speaker 2: too attached to him to do it. And she's also
7:48
Speaker 2: avoiding personality flaws that she has by shifting blame to
7:51
Speaker 2: her ex and her current boyfriend. This is kind of
7:54
Speaker 2: like a where is your father type moment. Why are
7:56
Speaker 2: you going after at least two different guys that aren't
7:58
Speaker 2: that into you? and would abandon you the moment they
8:01
Speaker 2: could do better.
8:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
8:10
Speaker 2: Apparently she's wasted a lot of time dating losers. This
8:13
Speaker 2: is a pattern. How about you date people who actually
8:16
Speaker 2: like you? How about instead of spending money on luxury
8:19
Speaker 2: vacations for two and fake nails, you get some therapy
8:22
Speaker 2: so you can stop treating the internet like your therapist?
8:24
Speaker 2: As for the boyfriend, fortunately, there's a happy ending to
8:27
Speaker 2: this story. Here's a follow-up video.
8:29
Speaker 1: What happened to the broke boyfriend?
8:31
Speaker 3: Um, we broke up.
8:33
Speaker 2: Well, great news. He loses the girl who wanted to
8:36
Speaker 2: use their relationship drama for clout, and she now is
8:38
Speaker 2: not in a relationship with a broke guy. It's a
8:41
Speaker 2: win-win situation. I was able to find this article here
8:44
Speaker 2: from Fox, and it says that he did find out
8:46
Speaker 2: about the video.
8:47
Speaker 1: And it was, like, Christmas morning. And then, uh, he
8:51
Speaker 1: didn't get me nothing.
8:53
Speaker 4: So then I was, like, all, like, crying.
8:55
Speaker 2: And I was like, you know.
8:58
Speaker 1: We said we weren't going to get anything from each other, like.
9:01
Speaker 3: You know.
9:02
Speaker 2: Well, if you wanted something for Christmas, then you should
9:04
Speaker 2: have said, I want something for Christmas. Anyway, Jennifer doesn't
9:07
Speaker 2: learn her lesson about keeping her relationship drama off the
9:10
Speaker 2: internet and releases this next video here where she makes
9:13
Speaker 2: herself look even worse.
9:14
Speaker 3: Did he ever pay for dates? At first, we would
9:18
Speaker 3: just chill in his house. That was how we spent
9:20
Speaker 3: the first six months. And we just spoke, just stayed
9:24
Speaker 3: at his house pretty much. I don't really remember what
9:26
Speaker 3: we ate the first six months. Oh, I would come
9:29
Speaker 3: over after I have already had dinner. So we would
9:32
Speaker 3: do like a late night type of thing. And it
9:35
Speaker 3: was cool with me because I'm low maintenance.
9:37
Speaker 2: Oh, no, come on, Jennifer. You're going to blackpill people
9:39
Speaker 2: by telling them that you stayed with the guy for
9:41
Speaker 2: two years and paid for everything. when the first several
9:44
Speaker 2: months of the relationship consisted entirely of Netflix and chill.
9:48
Speaker 2: You're embarrassing yourself in front of the TikTok girlies. I mean,
9:51
Speaker 2: if you asked him, would he even say that you're
9:52
Speaker 2: his girlfriend? Did he even know that you were in
9:55
Speaker 2: a relationship? Because it sounds like this guy is just
9:57
Speaker 2: using you for sex. He didn't even want to eat
9:59
Speaker 2: with you. And I'm not talking about going to a restaurant.
10:02
Speaker 2: I mean that he wouldn't even fire up a hot
10:04
Speaker 2: dog in the microwave so that you could have a
10:06
Speaker 2: meal together. He sounds like he wants to spend as
10:09
Speaker 2: little time with you as possible. Why would you admit
10:11
Speaker 2: to everyone that you were willing to put up with this?
10:13
Speaker 2: I'm getting secondhand embarrassment from how clueless this 30 year
10:16
Speaker 2: old woman is about relationships. If she's wondering why people
10:19
Speaker 2: were critical of her during the upload, it's because she
10:22
Speaker 2: has the relationship knowledge and maturity of a 19-year-old.
10:25
Speaker 3: Then after that, because he didn't really make a move
10:27
Speaker 3: to take me out, I was like, you know what?
10:30
Speaker 3: I'm going to plan some stuff for us and we're
10:32
Speaker 3: just going to go do something.
10:33
Speaker 2: Well, that was the wrong move. The correct answer is
10:35
Speaker 2: to leave. I'm starting to feel bad for this chick.
10:38
Speaker 3: I think after maybe like six months that we started
10:42
Speaker 3: kind of going out, maybe two months later, something happened
10:45
Speaker 3: with his job and... I paid his mortgage for him
10:49
Speaker 3: a few times. I paid the electricity bill a few times.
10:52
Speaker 2: Yes, King, she's a provider woman. She's paying the mortgage
10:56
Speaker 2: and the light bill for her spoiled prince. You see
10:59
Speaker 2: what I mean when I said that she's irresponsible with money?
11:02
Speaker 2: You aren't even married to this guy. You don't have
11:04
Speaker 2: a commitment from him, and you're paying for his house?
11:06
Speaker 2: What if you break up? Because that's not a possibility, right?
11:09
Speaker 2: That's money that should have gone to an emergency fund.
11:12
Speaker 2: That's money that should have been saved or invested for
11:14
Speaker 2: your future family. You have a very finite amount of
11:16
Speaker 2: income that you can make during your life and nobody
11:19
Speaker 2: should be wasting it paying for someone's bills unless they're
11:21
Speaker 2: in a marriage. That is an insult to your future
11:24
Speaker 2: spouse and future kids. Even worse, listen to this.
11:27
Speaker 3: So how old is he? I'm 30 and he's 40.
11:32
Speaker 3: And I'm the type of person where if you date me,
11:34
Speaker 3: I will give you a timeframe. Like that's a big one.
11:37
Speaker 3: I will give you a timeframe. And during this timeframe,
11:39
Speaker 3: I'm not not giving. Like I am very giving. I'm
11:42
Speaker 3: very loyal. I will show you unconditional love. But after
11:45
Speaker 3: the time frame is up, if you're not necessarily doing
11:48
Speaker 3: better or just like making some type of effort to
11:51
Speaker 3: do better, I don't think I could stay.
11:53
Speaker 2: Stop. Please just stop talking. You already look bad enough.
11:56
Speaker 2: You mean to tell me that you were with a
11:58
Speaker 2: 40-year-old broke man for two years and you were like
12:01
Speaker 2: waiting around expecting him to improve his situation? I mean,
12:05
Speaker 2: I understand if you fumble around in your 20s. Your
12:07
Speaker 2: 20s can be rough and the economy is bad right now.
12:10
Speaker 2: But if you don't have your shit together enough to
12:12
Speaker 2: pay your own bills by 30... then you've made a
12:14
Speaker 2: lot of mistakes. If you're 40, then it's over. That's
12:17
Speaker 2: just who you are. But she wants to give him
12:19
Speaker 2: a time frame. Bro, his time frame was up before
12:21
Speaker 2: you met him. He's not going to change. I can't
12:24
Speaker 2: figure out why she would stay with this guy and
12:26
Speaker 2: burn two years of her 20s with him. Again, he
12:29
Speaker 2: must have been really attractive or she has some really
12:31
Speaker 2: strong emotional problems and needs to date someone who is
12:33
Speaker 2: dismissive or abusive. Now, the guy promised that he would
12:37
Speaker 2: pay her back, but this is what happened instead.
12:39
Speaker 3: During one occasion, he went away for work and... he
12:44
Speaker 3: still owed me the money. So during the time that
12:46
Speaker 3: he was away from work, he would go to strip
12:49
Speaker 3: clubs a lot.
12:50
Speaker 2: Again, are you even in a relationship? You're paying a
12:53
Speaker 2: guy's bills and he's taking that money that he should
12:55
Speaker 2: be using to pay his mortgage and spending it on
12:57
Speaker 2: other women for sexual favors? He's obviously using you. Like,
13:01
Speaker 2: holy shit, this is pathetic. This story is depressing me.
13:04
Speaker 2: How do you know he's not cheating on you? Does
13:06
Speaker 2: he get lap dances with your money? It's hard for
13:08
Speaker 2: me to decide who's the victim in this relationship. It
13:11
Speaker 2: seems like both people are pretty terrible.
13:13
Speaker 3: But like I said, like, He has a great personality.
13:15
Speaker 3: He's going to be fine.
13:17
Speaker 2: I can't believe she just said that. Yeah, not only
13:19
Speaker 2: did he not pay me back when he said he would,
13:21
Speaker 2: but when he got some extra cash, he used that
13:24
Speaker 2: money on other women. And then she follows it up with,
13:27
Speaker 2: but he has a great personality. I think at this
13:30
Speaker 2: point I've facepalmed enough. I mean, I feel bad for her,
13:33
Speaker 2: not bad enough to excuse her for publicly shaming her ex,
13:35
Speaker 2: but a part of me thinks, what are you doing
13:37
Speaker 2: spending two years with a guy like this? That's a
13:40
Speaker 2: lot of time. You want to get married, and yet
13:42
Speaker 2: you're out here burning up your late 20s with a
13:44
Speaker 2: guy who won't be seen outside with you, or even
13:47
Speaker 2: have a meal with you. Do you not have any
13:49
Speaker 2: friends to prevent you from putting up with this? Now,
13:51
Speaker 2: as I get older, I've noticed certain things because I've
13:54
Speaker 2: had time to watch other people age, and I have
13:56
Speaker 2: seen a lot of people who are just waiting for
13:58
Speaker 2: change to happen, like Jennifer was just waiting for her
14:01
Speaker 2: ex to become magically financially responsible. Well, realistically, he was
14:05
Speaker 2: probably just using her for sex and money, but what
14:07
Speaker 2: I've found is that if a person becomes aware of
14:09
Speaker 2: a potential crisis or a problem, and has been told
14:12
Speaker 2: or shown that a change needs to occur, and they
14:14
Speaker 2: don't start changing things right away, then the odds that
14:17
Speaker 2: they're going to change are almost zero. People love to
14:20
Speaker 2: waste time. If at 20 you say, I'm going to
14:23
Speaker 2: get the better job, I'm going to lose the weight,
14:25
Speaker 2: I'm going to find the person who's right for me,
14:27
Speaker 2: but you don't start taking active steps to make those
14:29
Speaker 2: things happen on the first day, or like within a week,
14:32
Speaker 2: or you don't maintain changes long term, then 5 or
14:35
Speaker 2: 10 years will fly right past you, and at 25
14:37
Speaker 2: or 30, you'll be in the exact same place that
14:39
Speaker 2: you are right now. There's a great episode of Joe
14:42
Speaker 2: Rogan with Quentin Tarantino where he talks about him and
14:45
Speaker 2: a friend wasting their 20s at a video store instead
14:48
Speaker 2: of pursuing their actual dreams.
14:49
Speaker 4: You were asking earlier on about when did you start
14:52
Speaker 4: thinking about making your own stuff? Well, I thought about
14:54
Speaker 4: it like for a long, long time and always figured
14:57
Speaker 4: I would do that eventually. I did fall asleep for
15:00
Speaker 4: a few years. We had a buddy of ours named Steve-O.
15:03
Speaker 4: So he hits 30 and all of a sudden he's
15:06
Speaker 4: like angry about things. He starts ranting. He goes, you know,
15:11
Speaker 4: You know, Quentin, you think that we're this really great team.
15:15
Speaker 4: We're this really great crew. Quentin, at 20, I worked
15:23
Speaker 4: at South Bay Cinemas and I hung out with a
15:26
Speaker 4: bunch of guys just like you. And then I stopped
15:29
Speaker 4: working at South Bay Cinema. Then I worked at Miller's
15:31
Speaker 4: Outpost and hung out. Then I worked at Leisure Pizza
15:35
Speaker 4: for four years with a bunch of guys just like you.
15:38
Speaker 4: I've wasted my life hanging out with a bunch of
15:41
Speaker 4: guys just like you. And they all go away at
15:45
Speaker 4: a certain point. So I'm having my own little anxiety
15:49
Speaker 4: hitting 25. But I'm seeing what it's like five years
15:52
Speaker 4: from now.
15:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.
15:54
Speaker 4: When you turn 30. A window to the future.
15:56
Speaker 2: Look at Jennifer. She's dated the same type of guy
15:59
Speaker 2: for 10 or 12 years, has learned nothing about relationships,
16:02
Speaker 2: and she is no closer to her goal of marriage
16:04
Speaker 2: than she was at 18. Stop waiting. Well, I'll give
16:08
Speaker 2: him a grace period. A grace period of two years?
16:11
Speaker 2: She should have said, you have a week to start
16:13
Speaker 2: making changes or I'm dumping your ass. You have three
16:16
Speaker 2: days to make a plan of action and a week
16:18
Speaker 2: to start executing some part of that plan or I'm gone.
16:20
Speaker 2: I don't have my whole life to wait for someone
16:22
Speaker 2: to get better.
16:23
Speaker 5: Raymond, you're going to die. Is that your mom and dad?
16:30
Speaker 5: Mom and dad are going to have to call up
16:31
Speaker 5: County Dr.
16:32
Speaker 1: So-and-so.
16:33
Speaker 5: Pick up your dental records. Want to know why? Because
16:35
Speaker 5: there's going to be nothing left to face. An expired
16:37
Speaker 5: community college student ID. What did you want to be,
16:40
Speaker 5: Raymond K.
16:41
Speaker 3: Hessel?
16:41
Speaker 4: Veterinarian.
16:42
Speaker 2: Veterinarian.
16:43
Speaker 3: Animals. Yeah, animals.
16:46
Speaker 2: Stuff.
16:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got that. That means you have to get
16:48
Speaker 5: more schooling.
16:49
Speaker 4: Too much school.
16:50
Speaker 5: Would you rather be dead? No. Would you rather die
16:53
Speaker 5: here on your knees in the back of a convenience store?
16:56
Speaker 2: I know this scene appears to be kind of hyperbolic,
16:58
Speaker 2: but it's serious. You will literally die in the exact
17:01
Speaker 2: same miserable place that you're in right now if you
17:04
Speaker 2: don't get to work. So many people waste their lives
17:06
Speaker 2: not getting what they want because they just keep waiting.
17:09
Speaker 2: If you stop waiting and start working towards your goals
17:11
Speaker 2: right now, you'll actually find that they're a lot easier
17:14
Speaker 2: to achieve than you think.
17:15
Speaker 4: Well, if these guys can do what I can do
17:18
Speaker 4: because they weren't too special.
17:19
Speaker 1: Right.
17:20
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, that's the weird realization that you end
17:23
Speaker 4: up having within a year and a half from moving
17:27
Speaker 4: out of the South Bay and moving into the Hollywood area.
17:31
Speaker 4: Within a year and a half, I was finally able
17:33
Speaker 4: to make a living as a writer.
17:36
Speaker 2: The people who are succeeding are not that different from you.
17:39
Speaker 2: They just took action. Anyway, thanks for watching. Follow me
17:42
Speaker 2: on Twitter, and I'll see you in the next video.
