How's it going?
Andy Purcell
Good. Yeah, Good. Now, before we get into it, I'd like to remind you guys that we do have a fee for the show. Send me all your money. That's the fee. If you don't want to send me all your money, the fee is very simple. You could just share the show, all right?

DJ Cruise
Share the show, all right? And you said it was a special show.
Andy Purcell
It is special because you're here. Oh, yes, hearts, yes. It is very special. So those of you who have listened to the msceo project will recognize one of my very good friends who has, for the first time in six years, blessed me with his presence here in St. Louis.
Billy Jean
Appreciate you having me, Mr. Billy Jean.
Andy Purcell
What's happening, guy? That's right. I'm out. I'm outnumbered now.
DJ Cruise
Everybody check for wal.
Andy Purcell
Hey, listen, bro, here's how it's going to work, though. It's going to be me and you versus him.
Billy Jean
All right? Let's go.
Andy Purcell
That's a. That motherfucker's the racist over there. So what's happening, bro?
Billy Jean
Man, it feels good to be here. Like, you know, it's been six years, and I'm honestly, actually. I want. I want to capture this moment on camera because it's happening right now in real time. I want to give proper flowers to you, you know, because six years, when I came, we were having a beer at Billie Jean's, ironically.
Andy Purcell
A few beers.
Billy Jean
Yeah, a few. A lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we celebrated my birthday or something, and we were just vibing and just had a bunch in common, like, oh, all boys, private school. Like, oh, me too. Football, you know, like all this. And then we were talking about vision, and at the time, if you remember, it's like you. You had. You had. You had vision, but, like, you were in a good place. It was. It Was. You were. You were happy. Like, things were good. But coming out here and then seeing that you guys, like, it's. I'm inspired. Like, if you haven't seen the Office, it's. It's inspiring. And what I like the most is. And look, I'm gonna be with you. I'm kind of in a weird spot where, like, I've been in this digital marketing game for, like, 10, 15 years, met every entrepreneur I ever wanted to meet. And that whole quote about never meet your heroes or your whatever, it's true. Yeah, man. Most people are.
Andy Purcell
Are.
Billy Jean
Are full of. They're fake. They want something. Like, I don't want to start off on a bad note, but it's.
Andy Purcell
No, no, no, bro. That's why you and I have both moved out of that 100%.
Billy Jean
It's just so, like. So it's so cool to come here and then see the culture and say everything that you actually talk about and stand for is here. And the first hour I was here, I didn't even talk to you yet. So it wasn't like it was set up to put. No, I came in. Everything pristine, everything. You go into this gym, like, it is a real thing. All the numbers are aligned, et cetera. Like, everybody's doing their thing. It's cool because big things are happening, but it doesn't feel like, stuffy and corporate. Like, it's just. It's. It's all the things I saw. I think it was, like, years ago at, like, I don't know, some event. You were speaking on stage and you talked about culture. Yeah. And like, you were going on about, like, people want to know how I'm growing and scaling. You're like, it's all about culture. And then to experience it is there. And then, other note, like, I come in, like, there's a slideshow of me on the thing. The staff is really nice. Everybody's very kind. DJs, like, what's up? We already felt like family. Like, we were lady. And I was like, this. This feels good. Like, it was just taken back. I have a. I got a locker. A locker. And it was. It was the attention to detail. It was a picture of my girl, my mother, my daughter. It was my birthday. Was. It just. Just happened. It was happy belated birthday. Then it was the birthday. It was like, I was like, to the point where I just started to get mad because I got mad because I had to check myself. I was like, I'm gonna have to go work. I'm gonna have to step my up, right? And I don't do bad, but I love that feeling. I like the feeling. Like, people. People talk about emotions, and there are certain emotions that they just classify as bad or shitty. One of those is jealousy. I like to get jealous.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
I like in here being like, oh, so you think you want some Mandy? Okay. You think okay. In a good and a healthy.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, for sure, bro.
Billy Jean
Yeah, noted. Like, now, brother, that's what drives something.
Andy Purcell
That's what drives people.
Billy Jean
100. Yeah, 100. And that was with 75 hard. Like, people are like, yo, you're doing a 75 heart again. Like, do you want to get healthy? I'm just like, I'm gonna be real. I just want to be better than you. Yeah, like, yeah, because people don't want to be honest, dude. Like, no, I just miss. Like, I've always worked out my whole life. I fell off. I just miss coming in and just being like, what's up?
Andy Purcell
You know, what's fun? Yeah, bro, I do. And people don't understand that, like, I. My friend, the people I'm friends with, I can simultaneously be really good friends with them and still want to be better than them.
Billy Jean
100.
Andy Purcell
And that's all love. That's the. I want to be around. Because, dude, if you have a winning attitude, the attitude that you really believe in yourself and you know that you're a competitor, you want your friends to get better so that you get better. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I don't want to hang around that aren't competitive. I want to be around people who, you know, I want to be around people doing better than me because I'm like, all right, I got one way or the other or this or that. It's not always, like, you know, size your business, it could be more fit. It could be better at relationship.
Billy Jean
Yeah, it's 360.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, bro. So it's like. It's just a different way of thinking. And I think most people don't. They. You know, we hear this quote all the time on the Internet, which I fucking hate. Comparison is the thief of joy. No, bro, Comparison is the source of all progress. That's the truth.
Billy Jean
A bar.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, bro. And people don't get it because they're uncomfortable with.
Billy Jean
I want to touch on what you said about that. 360, though, is because. Especially, like, when people will see yourself. See myself, they'll go, yeah. Size of business, money. And that's. That's this part of it.
Andy Purcell
That's right. That's.
Billy Jean
That's this part of it. And so like, you know, I got friends who I just. I'm like, man, that motherfucker's a good ass dad. Like, you know, and I pride of how I am with my daughter, but I'm like, oh, you did? What went on? Okay, noted. Like, you know, or like going to.
DJ Cruise
The park right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Billy Jean
Play cards. Like my. My boy. My fucking boy, Daniel. If you follow Rob Dyrdek online.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You know, so, you know, like shout out to Rob. Like.
Andy Purcell
But Rob's a fucking genius, bro.
Billy Jean
Oh, he's a, He's a real genius for sure. So when he posts the way that he'll like spoil his wife or you know, for like a balloon and all that, I'm like, damn, I got to show my girls. Instagram down. Like, you can't go on Instagram today. Because I can't. You know, I got to do more. So. I love it. It's winning in three, six, bro.
Andy Purcell
It's funny that you said that because I've always admired that about Rob too. Like, Rob goes over the top for his family.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
Easter, birthdays, everything. It's just top notch. And it's suit. It's. It's so on brand for him because his energy is so good.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like, I've, I've been around Rob for a while and like, it's real. Like what you see on tv. He's really like that in person, but even better.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And like that. And I, you know, speaking. I don't think people give him the credit for how smart he is in business. Dude's a genius.
Billy Jean
We sat together this day, this is years ago, I don't know, maybe five years ago with my buddy Chris Harder. And we sat next to each other for like an hour and a half. And I forgot we were talking about. I just left there being like, you know, you watch Robin Big or like, whatever. And it was just like, it's kind of silly. Like, right. Like it's, it's immature in the same way that I am. Or you're idiots.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
The right time. Like, these are the dumbest guys ever.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. That's a fact.
Billy Jean
Then you have a real conversation and you're like, oh, that's the first thing I thought I said. That's one of the smartest entrepreneurs I've talked to in a very long time. And then I came here and what I tell you, I was like, we're looking at the thing. I said, man, as I have to commend you because this is hard.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
To. To Build this size of organization and to have all the things going right. Like, that's. My whole life is going into businesses. I've seen every company think a fortune 500 small. The difficulty level is insane. Yeah, y' all. Y' all are doing it. It's impressive.
Andy Purcell
Well, I appreciate all that, bro. And, you know, I. All those sentiments to you, bro, because you've come a long way since we first met.
Billy Jean
Appreciate you.
Andy Purcell
You know, we've been friends for probably close to a decade now.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
How did you guys meet?
Andy Purcell
Dude, I think just through the entrepreneur space. We were both speaking and doing stuff, and it's a small world.
Billy Jean
Like, you know, everybody.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You go somewhere and you see the same people.
Andy Purcell
I'm very thankful for that. That time in my life, but I'm also thankful to not really be in that anymore because of what you said. And I noticed you, you know, you pulled away, too, and just kind of, you know, it's just. Dude, there's just too much.
Billy Jean
You know what? It's like, even my assistant now, like, I say no to every podcast, every speaking. You know why? Because I don't want to. One, I like staying at home in San Diego playing tennis. Me, too. I grew. Right? Like, but two is so many scams.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like, I like. And not just in the speaker world, but just business, period. Like, I remember, like, the bbb, the very first time I was exposed to them was I got a letter, and it was like, somebody said a bad review about you. And I was like, what is this? And it was like, someone bought something for, like, 30 bucks. I was told my team, just go refund it. Like, make it right. And I'll never forget this. They sent a letter back, and we responded to their. Their claim or whatever, and they're like, oh, in order to respond to this, you have to pay $60 a year.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So I said, oh, hold on, hold up. What you're telling me is people can go in, hold your hostage, say anything, and, oh, you only let me reply if I pay you.
Andy Purcell
You know, my thing on canceling, people ask me this all the time. They're like, how do you deal with all these fuckers coming after you? It's very simple. If I. I don't care if it's not real. If it's real and I up, I'll say, I'm sorry, but if it's not them, them. Yeah, I don't care.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But, yeah, man, it's just.
Billy Jean
It's also fake life. Like, it's like. It's like social Media, It's. It's fake. It's literally like, bro, if you turn it off, your life will change none.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like, it.
Andy Purcell
You ever talk. You ever heard about the. The dead Internet theory?
Billy Jean
No.
Andy Purcell
So there's a theory. I actually think there's a lot of truth to it. That half the Internet or more is just bots.
Billy Jean
Yeah, actually. Well, there are a lot of bots. There's a lot of shoots of that. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And so when they. Like all the propaganda that they pushed on Twitter and when Dorsey owned. Or what's his face.
DJ Cruise
Jack Dorsey.
Andy Purcell
Jack Dorsey owned it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Was pushed out by bots. So they're. They're curbing public really bad perception because of the bots. Yeah, it's. Dude, it's just. We live in this. It really is a matrix. It's weird.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Everyone's creating something.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. So, dude, you lost how much weight recently?
Billy Jean
It was like. I think the total on 75 hard, I think, was like 47 pounds.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, you crushed it.
Billy Jean
It was. It was fun. I gained 7 back around the last week and a half. But it. I texted Andy to let you guys know. I said, you know, you do a lot of dope. I said, I think this is the most important thing you've ever done in your life. And I say that because. And you guys, look, I'm preaching to the choir, right? Where everybody here is. From there, 75 Hard understands the impacts. But to me, I. I don't believe you can get anything in life without obsession and unbalance.
Andy Purcell
Totally agree.
Billy Jean
And you're right. And I say, because there's so many people who preach this balance thing, and I just have come to the conclusion that balances, right. If I'm balancing, I'm trying to stay where I'm at. That's what balance is used for. If I climb to a mountain, right, you know, you. You're staying where you're at there. That's not to Progress. I think 75 hard is the truth of the true cost of what it takes to get what you want. And so many people don't want to do. Even me. Like, I was like, oh, God. Like, for me, like, because I've done 75 hard and had killer results with the first time too. When I was thinking about doing it, I was doing it my girl. I was, man, I'll be real with you. I don't want to do it. You know why? Because I had to be an honest conversation with myself of. I don't feel like paying the price right now.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I don't I don't feel like paying the price.
Billy Jean
Like, that's the conversation people aren't having. Like, listen, I don't want to pay. Yeah, No, I don't want to wake up twice. I don't want to sp. I was mad as fuck. And then I went to do it, and my girl's like, make sure you space out the workouts. Three hours, and it's been so long. I was like, dude, is that a real thing? So I texted Andy, and I was like, yo, is that real? I have to space out, like, three hours? And he's. Yeah. Then I got more mad.
DJ Cruise
No, you say.
Andy Purcell
No, you said. You said, help me settle a bet. And I'm like. And then you're like, her.
Billy Jean
Yeah. And so then it was like, fuck. Now this thing got really inconvenient, you know, because it's like, especially, like, playing sports forever.
Andy Purcell
Forever.
Billy Jean
It was like, I just didn't want to go in the mood, and that's because of momentum, but also, I believe in who gives a fuck what I feel like. Like, what?
Andy Purcell
You didn't get where you are by doing all the.
Billy Jean
You feel like, yeah, it's like, who cares? Like, so, you know, then, you know, a week goes by, and now it's like, I'm in the groove. How can I not? You know? Like. And you just realize, you know, the. The little, as you say, like, is active in all of us. And I think that's the thing. There's not a single person here who's too strong or beyond that. And I promise you, if it's not in the fitness space, there's some other aspect of your life where you're being a little. You're in an argument with somebody, but you won't put your ego aside and be the first person to call. You're being a little, like, you know, there's something. And that's what a lot of see, that they have it all. The. The one part that I've learned, and this is, like, behind the scenes, when you start being cool with everybody, and I'm guilty of this, too, is it's like, all right, money's right. Okay, cool. I'm feeling myself. I've been working out a little bit. Check. But the one that's easy to hide, relationships, whether that be your parents, your significant other, your children. That's the easiest one. Especially when you guys see someone who typically classifies an alpha male, check on them, because be like, yo, what's good with you? What's good with your significant other, though? Like, That's. That's how it is. And one. One of the greatest lessons I ever learned in business. And it's like, look, you can have it all for, like, a moment, but I was at this Mastermind thing years ago, and they just sat around. There's like six dudes in a circle, and they go, so, which one's off? I said, what? Which one's off? You know, is it. Is it health, money, or relationship? Because one's always fucked. I was like, that's ridiculous. And I was like, it's kind of real. Yeah, it's kind of real.
Andy Purcell
Like, when you lean in, it's like spinning plates, bro. You're like, yeah, 100.
Billy Jean
Like, it's just the juggle, and then you shift back over, and then the other thing goes away, and you realize, oh, that's the game.
Andy Purcell
Yep, that's just the game. Like, so keep the place spinning, dude.
Billy Jean
Yeah, keep place over here.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, over here.
Billy Jean
And that's all of us. So, yeah, it was a. It was. It was humbling to. To. To get back after it again. It was disappointing to myself to realize. I'm like. I got really out of shape. I was like. I remember I was like. I walked up my hill at the hill, and I was like, yo, I should not be that tired.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And I'm used to, like, you know, because in your brain, I go. I revert back to, like, the last version of me when I'm like, like, like football, like. Or, like, years after, I'm in my zone, so I'm trying to do that. I'm like, yo, I kind of slow right now. Like. Like, this is.
DJ Cruise
This is crazy.
Billy Jean
And so it's part of your identity, bro.
Andy Purcell
You see yourself as all these things. You don't realize that, you know, comfort has started to, like, erode the truth of what you actually are versus what you think you are. You know what I'm saying? It's comfort is. Is very seduces, bro. And it's, like, very. It's very good at it. It's very gradual. And, you know, it starts with, you know, one decision. You know, okay, today I'll, you know, not work out today, and I'll do it twice tomorrow. Or like that, right? And then before you know it, dude, you're looking around and you're like, wait, this isn't what the fuck I am. I don't look anything like what I want to look. I'm not who I am.
Billy Jean
No.
Andy Purcell
And then it slaps you in the face. And you realize the worst part. Yeah, bro.
Billy Jean
My old. My old me was like, always rationalizing how easy it is to get it back.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So I just keep putting it off, you know? And then I had to look at a point like, billy, what are you doing? You're fat as fuck right now. And I, like, I yelled at my friends. I was like, yo, I'm mad at you guys because you guys should have called me and said, you're fat as fuck right now.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And in those words, yeah, now I know. Hey, bud.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. You maybe should work out.
Billy Jean
Hey, no.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, nigga, what.
Billy Jean
Fuck you doing? You're fast as fuck right now.
Andy Purcell
Fuck yeah.
Billy Jean
Doing. What are you talking about? You're fat as fuck right now.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, like, give me that.
Billy Jean
You know, that's what I needed.
Andy Purcell
That's real friendship.
Billy Jean
Like, that's real friendship, you know, like. And so even, like, even, like between 75 hard. And then I was teaching class, my students like, yo, every week I saw you, you were dropping. He's like, this week you didn't. And I was like, thank you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, appreciate you.
Billy Jean
Okay. Appreciate you.
Andy Purcell
You remember when I was fat as fuck?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like, dude, I was pissed at everybody too. Like, the fuck guys. Like, I will certainly call you fat.
Billy Jean
To me too.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Fuck, man. But yeah, dude, you know, it's cool to have you here, man, and it's really cool to see you kicking ass and doing it. What do you. So you're. You're getting heavy into the AI shit now. I mean, that's. That's pretty much all you're doing, right?
Billy Jean
Obsessed.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So, like, I'm like, very. I'm a gamer, right? So like. And I always have been, like, my whole life. And so. And I'm also a video guy, right? I make videos around it. You guys probably see my ads before, etc. Like, I'm obsessed. I get like psycho about things. So when. December 20, 2022, when Chad GBT, we'll call it democratized, meaning AI has been around for decades, but when all of us got, you know, access to it. I'll never forget I was sitting with my boy, shout out to Mike rc. You know, Mike rc?
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And he's like, we went to basketball game. He's like, hey, man, like, what do you think about the chat GPT thing? And I'm so used to marketing things coming and going because I'm always pitch with him, right? And I'm like, another thing. So I. My first reaction was. And then he's like, just trust me. And he's like, watch me write a rap song. For you. And this is like, now everyone's used to chatgpt doing that, but this was, like, right in the beginning. And I was like, okay, do it. And it did in like two seconds that day. I probably didn't sleep for three months. I think I spent 50 to 75 grand hiring AI consultants. Everything you can think of, I put on event. The first thing I did, I was put on event. I told my people, I said, this is going to be the biggest thing since the Internet, Facebook, social media, everything AI is there. People were like, you're just fear mongering. You're, you're just. Right away. And I was like, y' all, this is it. I said, I'm paying these experts. I'm going to go live with them on Zoom. You can join in. I said, I'm coming in learning, just like y' all. You can come in. And I did, like, the biggest online AI event at the time, which was, I think we had like three or four thousand people, but nobody was, you know, do it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And so to the point where we were riding that momentum. I'm learning a bunch, I'm putting out content, here's what I'm learning, etc. And then I knew I was on to something because then Procter and Gamble reached out. Hey, can you come teach our offices in this country? Da da da, da, da da. And, like, now I'm doing these calls, and now I'm so, I'm seeing how it works at the big companies. Okay, how do we implement this? And I'm just going down this rabbit hole and, yo, I'll sum it up like this. Doing. Actually, I, I, I'll, I'll bring this even deeper, and then we can kind of talk about it. People like you, people like me, people like you. I think we're in for a rude awakening. And here's what I mean. Your brand, your show is all about doing the hard work. Me too. I'm like, fudge it. Like, do it. I get it. I think we're coming into the first time where hard work isn't going to be celebrated. So people don't need a hard man anymore. Here's what I mean. My daughter's nine. Think about how she's growing up. She presses a button, food shows up. She presses a button, clothes show up. She's in school. Everything is done on the computer. Like book reports. There's spark notes, you know, Remember when we first got the TI83 calculator? Did all the fancy stuff. Yeah, yeah, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcell
That's Right, right.
DJ Cruise
Movies for that. Y' all had, like, the beans on.
Andy Purcell
The slide for me. Yeah.
Billy Jean
So, like, now my daughter's growing up with all of that. And I just said to myself the other day, because she's running the mile this week, so I was running with her. She was just like. I was like, sweetheart, she just being a baby. And I was like, I love you. We're going to practice this together. And then it just hit me. I just said, you know what's the truth? She may never need to work hard. And I believe AI is so powerful that in the next decade, it's so much smarter and it does things so much better than us. It will be weird that a human does it. She's never going to have to work hard, which is fucking crazy. And it hurts my soul. It hurts my soul. But I mean that. Like, think about you guys. Since you. Everybody watching. Like, since you've been using chat GPT be real got easier.
DJ Cruise
Right?
Billy Jean
Like, you're like, you need to write an email. You're like, let me put this dbt.
Andy Purcell
Like, I think it depends on how you look at it. I think. I think. I think. So where I came, first of all, like, I was a hundred percent against it because I think there's an ethical responsibility to provide income for people.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
And so I was like. I didn't even look at the thing. I was like, I'm not looking at this shit. Fuck that.
DJ Cruise
I seen iRobot it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well.
Billy Jean
Right.
Andy Purcell
And. And, bro, for years I was trying to warn people. I was like, listen, dude, this is. You guys should reject this. And then I figured out after you know it, it's coming no matter what. There's no stopping it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And so at first I was like, we're not going to. Nobody's going to have jobs. That's what I thought at first. And then I thought. Then I started, like, kind of looking into it and learning, and I started realizing I'm like, I. I see it as like a weapon. Okay.
Billy Jean
Like, it's a tool.
Andy Purcell
Like, if you're. Yeah. If you're, like, equipping yourself with the proper weapons, you're going to be able to move much better. 100 and so I think people who start to understand how to utilize it properly as an employee.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
And. And exponentially increase their output are going to be extremely valuable.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
And then there's going to be people who you. Videos of their cats and. Right. And those people are going to get fired.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
And. And then I think from a company Standpoint, you know, instead of looking at it like, oh, we could fire everybody and run the company, the good companies are going to say, well, we could scale 10 times bigger with the same amount of people. Yes, right. But in terms of like performance as a human and working hard, I think to even you know, the nature of using it, you have to be intelligent, which requires studying. Right. You can't if you don't have like, like somebody like you or me, we're at a tremendous advantage with it because of the real world experience that we have.
Billy Jean
For sure.
Andy Purcell
Like if you take someone who's straight off the street, they don't even, they can't understand the concepts of an ecosystem or how a project should flow or they get like. And dude, you could watch every video from every online nerd and they can talk about it, but unless you've actually done it or built it, you really don't get it. It sounds confused, but that's, I think that is.
Billy Jean
So I'm 100% same page.
Andy Purcell
But what I think though, dude, I think there's another element to this. Like, I think, okay, so what, what's going to happen is we're going to have a, a situation where a lot of people don't have the same obligations in terms of work that they have to do, which means they're going to have free time.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And I think it also, when we think about it, the more technology driven society is, the more lonely people are.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
So more time, more loneliness equals a desire for some sort of other mission plus community. So what I, I think where the companies and the people are going to go, I, I really think it's going to, if, because dude, it's going to take people, businesses figuring this out. But when, when you provide a community that improves, you know, fitness or work ethic because you have to be smart to do this. I think you're still going to have to work hard, but I think it's in a different way than what we're using.
Billy Jean
I think what you said is, is huge. Is the work smarter, not harder is the realest thing.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, right. Like, but like bro, you're still gonna want, I want to be a fat. That takes hard work.
Billy Jean
Sure.
Andy Purcell
You know, you're still going to want to be a well rounded human being. That takes work. You're still going to need to consume. Like I think also like companies that produce. Where it's really going to people is straight up info people like, like if you could, if you make a CPG product or anything that people consume food Any of that. You're gonna always have business, alcohol, weed. You're gonna be able to make money, but. And probably more money because people are gonna have more time. But you know, it's just gonna be, it's just gonna be a different thing happens.
Billy Jean
Question to you, what happens when it takes one person to do the job that's currently being done by 10 people?
Andy Purcell
Well, that means nine people aren't gonna have a job.
Billy Jean
And that is what problem with that is. Ideally it sounds good until you, you know, go macro E. Comm. And you realize, oh shit, that's most people in the country.
Andy Purcell
That's most of your customers.
Billy Jean
Yeah, the most.
Andy Purcell
Right.
Billy Jean
So most people in the country, the economics, government, just. They're going to have to checks. And that's where I go.
Andy Purcell
Well, and that's bro, that's where we get into like we have to be very careful about avoiding communism because that's a, that's a very open gateway. Can we. Yeah, I think we can.
Billy Jean
You know, like, is capitalism going to die?
Andy Purcell
I don't know. It's a good discussion. Like, I don't think I, I think it will change. I don't think it'll be.
Billy Jean
That's fair.
Andy Purcell
You know, like there's still very wealthy individuals in China. Yeah, right. Some of the wealthiest people are in China. I think what it's going to do more so. And this is not a good thing and this is. But if you're willing to work hard, yeah, it's going to be good for you. But it's going to for. Okay, for people who are ambitious and have goals and have drives and have dreams and they want to do things, it's going to be easier than ever for them to win Facts. Because they're going to have the weapons to win. They're going to have more opportunity because more people are not going to try. So there's less competition. Because dude, if you take. Because when we look at like the way our economic system is set up, it's set up on leverage of debt onto the individual. Go to school, get a degree, get in debt. Now you have to fucking work. Okay, so that's powerful. Yeah. And people don't really think of it like that. They just think of it as the way it is. But if you remove that leverage off of people, what will they do? We don't know yet.
Billy Jean
Unfortunately. That's where I think we do know. Because historically humans choose lazy.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, but like, but bro, like those people eventually, you know, like, look man, it's what they want. It's what the they want. That's why they let it out in the open.
Billy Jean
I have a question. What do you think about this? So from a management standpoint, what I have learned from, you know, seeing different companies.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Even experiencing it in mine, it's like I don't think most people actually desire what you or I may desire. I think most people desire to just chill.
Andy Purcell
Why is that?
Billy Jean
It's a good question. I don't know. That's.
Andy Purcell
Well, I, I think, I think it's because they've, they've given up on the idea that it's even possible.
DJ Cruise
They don't even know it's possible.
Andy Purcell
I think most people are bred culturally into believing that success is for other people, not for them.
Billy Jean
I agree.
Andy Purcell
And that it's some sort of mystical thing that happens to some people and doesn't happen to other people. Which I thought that too, dude, until I figured out that it was just math. It's just doing one plus one equals two.
DJ Cruise
On top of that though, when you demean success and you make it be this bad scary thing. So not only are you not seeing.
Andy Purcell
It, but now it's a moral high ground and not have it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
If you got money, you're greedy.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
You know what I'm saying? So you add that on top of it is terrible. I think the AI thing. I don't think if we leave it up to the people to try to regulate this and it'll never happen because the consumer has changed completely.
Andy Purcell
Well, they are going to make. Here's what I think it has.
DJ Cruise
Government has to regulate.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And I think they're going to. And here's why I think they started because the, it's going to put lawyers out of business. All right. And lawyers are the government and they look out for their own. And so once these up in Washington figure out what's going to happen to their trade, it's going to be. I think they're going to try to lock it the down. But dude, I don't think they can.
Billy Jean
It's. It's like, it's like trying to. It's like Napster. Right. When they shut down Napster for a little bit.
Andy Purcell
And then LimeWire, Spotify. Yeah. Right. Like this.
Billy Jean
It's so far gone, I don't even know.
Andy Purcell
But dude, I, I think it's just going to expose who has ambition and who doesn't. And I think for the message that you and I, you know, because we're both, we've both been very big in the personal development space for a Long time. I think people will always have ambition. I think there's certain people who always desire to win. I think most people, dude, most of the people that I'm around want to win but don't know how to win or don't believe they can.
Billy Jean
I think you have that. But I think there's also this majority of people. I don't know majority. A lot of people who don't view it like that one. They don't know. Yeah, they don't view like that. They go, yo, I've been struggling for so much of my life and this is their story. Who cares about the reality? That's what they're thinking. You know, my parents weren't together. I've been paycheck to paycheck. Everybody I knew was paycheck to paycheck. And now the government has offered me a check where I don't have to worry about rent. I don't have to do any of that. And I can just live and get a stipend. It's hard to imagine.
Andy Purcell
We already have that.
Billy Jean
Right. Yeah, it's welfare.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Take it. Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like, you know, but now it's going to be the first time where right or left. It's like a joint conversation because it's coming for everybody's job.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Right. And so I really do worry about like, is it a if you can't beat them, join them kind of attitude for the masses. Right. Like. And I, and I don't like that idea.
Andy Purcell
It's.
Billy Jean
It's anti normal to me. And what I've seen and what I've seen lead to success. But it's just like I, I don't know.
Andy Purcell
Well, I also think, dude, like, you know, you don't have to work. No, I don't have to work. Okay. And what would your life be if you didn't? You would lack purpose. You would lack fulfillment. You would be depressed.
Billy Jean
See, we, we get that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Being here.
Andy Purcell
But bro, anybody listen gonna be like, no.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, right.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, but right. Like, you know, they get it too. They just don't understand that they have it. Like, dude, go to Walmart, go to shopping centers and watch people. They're miserable, bro. They have no purpose. They are very cynical about their existence.
Billy Jean
True.
Andy Purcell
They are generally very negative. Hey, how's it going? Oh, living the dream. You know, like, yeah, bro, it's just, it's. And it comes from no purpose. Like there's no purpose in a lot of these jobs anyway. Like they show up.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
They and type some out and then they go Home.
Billy Jean
I'm telling you something gonna hate.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Because this is, this is a dark side of where I think the world. This is what I'm betting on and I don't like it. Hopefully we can change it, but I want to discuss it. So let's go to this position which I am pretty sure because I don't know how it cannot happen where either things. The cost of her things are subsidized by the government because I don't know how anyone can afford anything or you're getting checks. Okay, now that happens. Now what you said is a real thing. People do need to feel purpose. Etc. Now we're also in the era where gaming is bigger than everything. Grand Theft Auto trailer for the new one just came out. It's the biggest. Oh, it's the biggest thing in media ever, in history, entertainment ever.
Andy Purcell
We're gonna start our own server, bro.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah. So people really get a kick out of living through their avatars. So what I fear is people go, you know what? It's just a feeling that I'm chasing anyway. So if I have rent covered, etc. And now I can feel purpose inside of my fake world, there it is. Because watch how easy it is to clone and live a fake person. So, so I worry if this is going to be blinded.
Andy Purcell
Like, well, that's where we get into where this is a stop and start. Like because like right now do a human. Well, dude. And that's why like right now we have this situate. Like where's the legality? What, what I mean, do you, do you not own your own ip? Right.
Billy Jean
That's what goes to what you said, where the attorney that goes all in on AI and says I'm going to be this practice, they're going to be rich as fuck.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
They're going to kill it. They're going to be the hard worker.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And then the other ones are going to be like, I went to six years, I'm $300,000 in debt. Like I've been doing all of this. Just give me the stipend.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, well, dude, that's, that's assuming that the stipend is livable. Right? Yeah. You know, so you know, like if it's welfare level, you're not going to remove the ambition because like that's.
Billy Jean
Touche.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, dude, I think, I think, I think it's going to come down to the basic human. I always like break it down in natural order. Winners are going to win, losers are going to lose and that. And that's what it's going to come down to. And I think it's going to be very. I think a lot of people are really fucked. I think a lot of people selling low value information are fucked like this. You're not going to be able to go on the Internet anymore as some like average dude and be like, oh, I have this coaching program and it's this. Those dudes are done for sure. I think it's. I think that's a good thing though, because I think the, like we said, there's so much bullshit.
Billy Jean
You said the most powerful thing earlier, which is the C word. Community. Yeah, like that. Community and loneliness, I really do think are going to be the biggest challenge.
Andy Purcell
Well, yeah, you're going to have two kinds of people. You're going to have people that want to live in their avatar, who want to sit on their couch and be a fat fuck and jerk their own dick. And then you're going to have motherfuckers that want to go out and fucking be the real deal and get laid. Yeah.
Billy Jean
Get their dick.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's right.
Billy Jean
Jerk your own or someone's going to do it for you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And it's going to be too distinct. Don't we already have that though? Don't we already have that? Don't the. Those people do that anyway?
Billy Jean
Yeah, that's true.
Andy Purcell
And don't.
Billy Jean
Don't the other people are going to change.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, dude, here, the reality is if you're a human right now and you're not learning how to use AI and what you do.
Billy Jean
Yep. And what you do.
Andy Purcell
I had this discussion with a friend of mine a week ago, and when he first. When I first brought it up to him, he was like, that's not true. And I said, no, it is true. And he ended up texting me like at like 11:30 that same night.
Billy Jean
Oh, he was up all night.
Andy Purcell
He went down and he's like, bro, you're right. And I'm like, yes, I know I'm right, dude.
Billy Jean
And this, I would say, just for anyone listening, it's like, if you're like, I don't think so. It's only because you haven't used it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like it was the second you use it and you dive in, even for a day, like, you can't.
Andy Purcell
It changes the value proposition for an employee as well and how people. Bill. Okay. Like for so long, this idea of billing for hours has existed. That's not going to exist anymore.
DJ Cruise
No.
Andy Purcell
Thank God, it's no.
Billy Jean
All these Jesus. That's such.
Andy Purcell
All these. That have been hiding behind, you know, design and coding and all these things and say, oh, it takes this much time. So I gotta. Yeah, total. That's done.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
What's how these people are gonna be valued now is how fast and. And what quality they can produce the product. So it's going to flip the value proposition from time to outcome, which I enjoy.
Billy Jean
And it frees up time.
Andy Purcell
Yes. Because now. Now we can fudgeing move. Like, I would much rather. I would much rather pay somebody more for outcome fast.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
Than get drug along in this painful fucking time thing.
Billy Jean
We. We restructured my whole marketing department like the way that we do it. So this is for me, it's VA's and AI. And so I. I told our team, I said, hey, guys, no one here can do anymore. You must manage. Meaning everyone's kind of a super employee. So you take someone who's been like an account manager, running advertisements, all these kind of things. It's like, no. You have a team of VAs on your team and they use AI tools. Yes. And now all of a sudden, you, one person are doing the work of 20. You have a whole. Like that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And. And you're doing it with your voice, dude. Even do this, do that, do this.
Billy Jean
It's.
Andy Purcell
And then. And not then after you do that three or four times, the thing knows what you're gonna say and it just does it. So then it shows up and your.
Billy Jean
Shit'S done and you can create an agent to automate all those tasks. It's like you can do so much, bro, even right now.
Andy Purcell
Think about this.
Billy Jean
Go ahead.
Andy Purcell
The like, here's something I've been thinking about is like, so you got grok, you got chat, you got all these other ones, right?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And then you had. What was the one in China? It was Deep seek.
Billy Jean
Oh, yeah.
Andy Purcell
So Deep Seat comes out and builds their own AI agent or their own AI engine for 6 million bucks. Right. And they put what they cost the market a trillion dollars in two days.
DJ Cruise
Yeah. Instantly.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. But. So here's the. But the reason why is because no one understood how cheap you could actually do it. Which 6 million bucks sounds expensive to most people, but it ain't right.
DJ Cruise
It ain't half a billion.
Andy Purcell
And so here. Here's the thing right now, I think there's a race right now to build those engines because I think the regulate. Because right now how they're building it is Zuckerberg saying, hey. And Elon's saying, hey. Scrape the entire Internet, all of it. Like, and, and dude, what's going to happen is that is not going to be allowed forever to scrape the entire Internet. They're going to start putting guide rails and things in it. So when that starts to happen, the ability to generate those engines is going to go away. So whoever could be, whoever's able to right now should.
Billy Jean
Well, that's why I think just the, the big dogs are just going to get bigger at this.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
I think we're there because it's like becoming a new is really depends on.
Andy Purcell
How they think about it. So when you look at like how old are you now?
Billy Jean
37.
Andy Purcell
Okay.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
So when, when you think about like, like, because I was like 18 to 25 when the Internet really started talking.
Billy Jean
About dial up instant messenger.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
56K. Yeah, bro, what was your screen name? I touched Dick 37.
Andy Purcell
No, that was my. That was, that was my. That was my. That was my. That was my ghost account, bro. You're not supposed to tell people that.
Billy Jean
Age, sex, location.
Andy Purcell
No, it was free. It was F R I Z 44 at AOL.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And Sal's was Y eater five. My dad was like, what the is why eater? And like work me a salad. Like so, like, dude. So. But, but like, dude, I think of like what I've seen, right. And I think people with experience are going like, a lot of people think, oh, that guy's fucking old. No, motherfucker. Like if you take someone who's had the experience of building something pre Internet, which I did in the Internet, which I did, like I'm gonna be a weapon, bro. Because I know what the. Ask the.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
And it's. I mean, I get it already. But think about this. The big dogs. Okay, so who's the big dogs? Elon Bezos.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Right.
Billy Jean
Zuckerberg.
Andy Purcell
Zuck's a little bit different because of how that came about for him. But if you take, if you take Bezos, all Bezos did was take a concept that he was familiar with, commerce of books.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
And evolve it to the Internet and then evolve it from there. All right. And he was the first guy. So he was the first. He was first at market at that time.
Billy Jean
Stuck with it.
Andy Purcell
And he did it early enough before it was regulated, which is what I'm talking about. Them regulating the wild Wild West. Yes. So that's what we're in with AI. It's wild Wild West.
Billy Jean
I agree.
Andy Purcell
So. So for the first 10, 12 years of Bezos running Amazon, they didn't have to collect sales tax. So what it did. Was it created a 10. Huh.
Billy Jean
I didn't think I realized that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, well, dude, I was, I was in business then, so I, I was like, what the.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like these guys can sell 10 cheaper than I can and I'm employing people. Right. So like, I was the victim of that loophole. So I remember very clearly getting mad at it because their first, their first strategy was to sell cheap. It wasn't convenience. It was cheap. Okay. And then once the tax got put on them, then they went to convenience. So now it's. It's quick. So. So there was a fucking time there where he was able to jump way ahead because There was a 10% to 12% margin advantage over not having to pay sales tax.
Billy Jean
So going. Going with that. The biggest advantage that everybody has right now is he had real tax is the fucking classic ignorance tax right now. The biggest advantage or the denial tax and the denial tax right now is the guys, if you just simply use AI, you'll beat your competitors because they're not using it. It's like having a website before, but it's website how you use it and how you use it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like.
Andy Purcell
Like if you're an employee right now. And I'm just. Dude, I am saying this, I'm saying this to protect you. I'm not saying this as a threat. If you are an employee of any company right now. Because like, we could talk about the morality and like, I believe in employing human beings.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And how I'm choosing to look at it is okay, I can make my humans that much more productive.
Billy Jean
Yes. Hell yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And then we. You could scale the company without as many humans.
Billy Jean
Right.
Andy Purcell
Okay. But you take the same amount. Like a lot companies look at a bunch of different ways. A lot of guys are looking at it and saying, fuck, I can get rid of everybody.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But the winners are saying, no, I can fucking take the same amount of people.
Billy Jean
While going on a hiring freeze.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
And I think that's.
Andy Purcell
That.
Billy Jean
That seems like what the winners will do.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Is. And. But that is also my fears. What does that hiring freeze do? Because I'm on it. Like talk like I'll be guys. Like I. I think a couple roles in sales. Even though these AI.
Andy Purcell
Well still. Okay. Take a sales guy. Take a sales guy. Right? A sales guy. If you could take a sales guy who is good.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And he can scale out his ability for output at fucking 30x.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
With the tool, he's worth paying a lot more. And if there's less people and more output, he can Make a lot more.
Billy Jean
You want to hear something crazy? So I won't say tools.
Andy Purcell
You see what I'm saying?
Billy Jean
Yeah. I'm going to give you an example of that because it goes both ways, right? So this is where I think was the biggest thing that sold me on AI. And so we were using this tool and again, this window is actually still here right now. And it's the rules of AI calling, right? Because there's telemarketing rules, there's robo callers, there's all these things. But there was this tool that lets you do outbound calls and it was here very early. And I'll never forget, I was like, okay, this is awesome. This is good. We have permission to call all our people and we have a big ass list of a million entrepreneurs. This is going to be great. So let me just start small benefit.
Andy Purcell
Of being an entrepreneur.
Billy Jean
Space 100%.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
I was like, so let me fuck our list. This is massive. Right? This is great. So let me just take really qualified people that we fuck with that opted in first stuff. And I was like, let's just call them with AI and I just want to see if I can set some appointments. And so I was like, all right, let me just upload, you know, this list of. I think it was like 3,000 people. So I upload it and it calls and I look at the stats and I refresh in six minutes later. I called a thousand people at the same time and my brain broke because I went whole and I got all these appointments. Right?
Andy Purcell
Because think about scale. Yeah.
Billy Jean
So imagine how long it would take one salesperson to call a thousand people.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. But imagine how much more effective the sale that salesforce would be with someone running those out of fucking cell.
Billy Jean
100%. So like, so this is what we.
Andy Purcell
Have to think about. Yeah. Because if you take some fucking tart off the street that doesn't know how to sell shit, you can't do that.
Billy Jean
Yeah. If it's a bad script. Yeah, script. You can call 10,000 people.
Andy Purcell
You can't close.
Billy Jean
You close.
Andy Purcell
And yes, the.
Billy Jean
It was just crazy how fast it did it because it was like I literally saw a month of work take three minutes, bro.
Andy Purcell
I, I think, I think if you're a person right now and you're working inside of a company, here's how you need to look at it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You need to look at it like I need to learn this shit so that I can, I can, I can multiply my own output, not how much time I put into it, how much output I could create because that person will be more valuable a hundred percent. And I really think it's the only way for most people that work in an office to maintain the ability of value.
Billy Jean
My marketing team, right. This is happening in real time right now. It used to take us and we're fast, right?
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You just take like we can build like an advertisement a day, like a good one, right? Yeah. Right now I think yesterday we did six without me. Really good performing, et cetera. And that is the team multiplying their output, doing what they do. And so right Now I agree 100. If you're in a company and you can latch on this, you can do a hundred times more than you ever have.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And so I would just go to your employer and make sure that you have a commission based something like if you don't, that's fine, but see if you can add it in. And I think that's what a lot of people don't do is like you can just like CEO can come to you and talk to you about pay. You can do the same. So if you find this output thing, I bet you if you can show your worth and what you can do, they'd be willing to pay you more based off your performance gazillion percent. So it's just like bring it to the table.
Andy Purcell
Because dude, that, that dynamic never changes.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
People that produce more are worth more. 100 people that produce better are worth more. And so there's an opportunity right now for employees to become that much more productive against the other ones and not only secure their position, but earn more. And, and I think there's, there's just a way of looking at it. And I think, dude, you know, like even as a company, like let's take a macro scale. Right. And there's a government aspect to this too. Because what, what the government should do. I don't think they will do this because they're too stupid. But what they should do is they should offer a complete tax immunity to companies that employ a certain percentage of people versus how much AI they use.
Billy Jean
For sure they're gonna have to.
Andy Purcell
Yes. So the way that they're going to secure or should secure jobs is to give a tax break to the company. Employ actual humans. But. And then tax the companies that don't.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
Andy Purcell
So, but, but that's a macro thing that we're not in control of. Okay. That's what I think should happen. What I, what I really should have happened is people should have never Let it out in the public. Because now a lot of people.
Billy Jean
It's actually a fair reason. Yeah, I agree.
Andy Purcell
But it is what the it is. And so we got to look at it for what it is. This is called real af, not what the it should be. You know, so what it is is it's natural order. Natural order is always going to win. And so there's going to be companies that say, okay, I'm gonna utilize this to optimize and fit and we're going to grow with it. There's going to be companies that reject it. There's going to be guys who say, no, this is, this is stupid. Just like they did with the Internet. Or just like when the car came out and the dudes were saying, ah, what the. I got horses. Right?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
So this happened when the Internet came out. Like, I remember all kinds of business people that were like, oh, the Internet's not for me. Guess where they are. They're not existent.
Billy Jean
So, yo, that's fun. That's what they said. It's not for me.
Andy Purcell
You remember that?
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcell
Internet doesn't apply to my. Well, the it doesn't now you're gone.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And of course there's things that are immune, right? Like there's, right now there's trades, right? There's, there's, there's H Vac, there's running Elect. But dude, there's.
Billy Jean
And it's a window because we know.
Andy Purcell
Three, four years it's going to be robotics. But if you could be the guy that figures out how to do it and how to do it faster, you're gonna make a lot of money. So, so we have the natural order on a macro scale and a micro scale. So we have it on the macro scale with businesses. We got on the 10,000 foot scale with the government. And then we have micro scales, individuals. And for businesses, what's going to happen is the same thing that always happens. You're going to have people who adopt it and work with it and figure out how to produce the best possible outcome for their, for their customers and their employees. You're going to have people who decide that it's not for them. And then you're going to have a little guy who's just getting started who doesn't know shit about business. And his opportunity is going to come from the comp, from the companies that say, this is going to work. So you're going to have a trade. These companies are going to fall. These young bucks who learn how to do it are going to move In.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And we're going to have sort of an involvement. Right. And adaptation over the long haul is the key to lifetime success.
Billy Jean
Which actually scares me about what you said specifically the government. And I want everybody to think about this one. Like, so this like I teach a 16 week course, right? And every single 16 weeks I have to change the whole curriculum because it's moving so fast.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And I worry about the government because everybody knows how long the government takes to do anything. I also worry about even your traditional colleges because how long does it take for them? Like how many of you went to school and you bought a used book because the three years later they were still you buy you doing the same.
Andy Purcell
Education is done, bro.
Billy Jean
Oh my God. It's so bad.
Andy Purcell
But dude, they're teaching AI engineer courses. They're. They're teaching at college. Six. All right, look, Six. This is how fucking stupid this is. They are teaching people for a six month course for thousands of dollars like going to debt shit on how to be an AI prompt engineer when all you got to do is ask the motherfucker what prompted it is so.
Billy Jean
But. And that was a fast response that is now outdated.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
These are the same people, y' all, by the way. And this wasn't. We can relate to that. When you go to the dmv, they take six months to send you your registration, bro. Something that should be done. It's so college.
Andy Purcell
The next real estate opportunity is going to be the college campuses because they're going to be empty, turning them into laws. That's right. Historic loss for real, bro. Yeah, but like, dude, you say Harvard, dude, it's. It's exciting.
Billy Jean
Pool over there and Boston.
Andy Purcell
It's exciting if you're willing to adapt. If you're not willing to adapt, you're going to lose and it's going to be a very hard fall. That's the truth.
Billy Jean
And you can't be our parents and our parents are this, you know, then shout out to all our parents, especially mine. But you guys have probably all gotten that call from your parents where they ask you to change the input on their tv.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And they just need to press a button. But they don't want to learn it. They're just like, just, just do it for me.
DJ Cruise
TV's broken.
Billy Jean
TV is broken.
Andy Purcell
I was at that cannot happen, Billy. I was that motherfucker six months ago.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, that's good. Was I not who put the foot in your ass?
Andy Purcell
No, I. Dude, no, I just, I. Listen, it wasn't that I got the foot Put in my ass. It said, I met some very. I met some very interesting people. Okay. I met my friend Devin, who is a very smart man. He's young. He's very smart. He's very calm. He's been on the podcast.
Billy Jean
Nice.
Andy Purcell
Really good dude. And just listening to him calmly sort.
Billy Jean
Of like walk you through it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And. And then. And then, like, I was like. And. And he's. He's doing. I mean, he's crushing.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And so I'm like, all right. Well, then I. Then I downloaded the app, and, you know, I did what everybody does. I'm like, take this picture of my dog and make it a Lego. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Billy Jean
Yeah, it's cool.
Andy Purcell
And I was like. I was like, holy, dude. And then I started, like, having it teach. Because, dude, I am like, I am a gluttonous learner. Like, I. I love input.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
I love it.
Billy Jean
Pause.
Andy Purcell
And. And it's so hard for me to find the time to read. Okay. Because, you know, and I still do because I enjoy it, but it's hard. I have to force myself. That's part of the program. So I test it out. I say, all right. Like, books I've read multiple times. Like, there's. There's a book called the Purple Cow by Seth Godin. I've read it a thousand times, so I know the book. I'm like, hey, summarize this book for me. Okay.
Billy Jean
How good was it?
Andy Purcell
It's right on, bro. And I'm like. So then I'm like, if you come to my house, I have thousands of books, okay? And there's. There's. I buy books that I want to read, but then I can't find the time to read them.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
So I start. Dude, I started reading three, four books a night. Okay? So I'm summarizing and getting the gist of these three or four books.
Billy Jean
Wow.
Andy Purcell
Every night.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Which dude would take me a. And now I'm like. And I start. Then I start thinking of, like, okay.
Billy Jean
So the meta shades, this is where it's cool. They show this in their newest demo. So the meta shades, everybody's like, you guys see I'm wearing glasses. Just imagine I can press a button and it can record, and then AI can see everything that I see. Right? So, you know, then the. One of the newer demos, there's two really cool tools that we should play with, and the newer. The demos is somebody looks by a bookshelf and then says, hey, remind me, what book was over there in the purple and it like captured right there. Now going to what you said, it's. Can you summarize that for me in a couple of bullets while you're walking and listening? Because it's your eyes that is going to be the most when like the mass adoption happens, it's going to be because of these glasses.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. But also, dude, I think, I think people I don't like, I don't think we're taught, look, man, there's going to be a balance that occurs between the human experience and technology. Always. And for example, like when retail started getting hit with the Internet, there was a bunch of retail people. This I'm talking 15 years ago. People would be like, oh, Internet's killing me, bro. My retail company has continued to dominate.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Because we create community and, and good experiences and human behavior craves that.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
So you have to think about like, okay, well how is it going to work in that environment? And in that environment it would be a situation, you know, let's say any technical environment, like an auto parts store or a, A vitamin store. Right. You're going to be able to answer questions of. About that you don't really know. Because our biggest rub in what we do is the knowledge. Right. You have to learn the technical knowledge.
Billy Jean
Employees are going to have meta shades.
Andy Purcell
And not only that, they're going to have. They're going to have fucking earpiece in their ear that hears what the fuck you're saying.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Tells them what to tell.
Billy Jean
So that's so why that I tell people. This is going to sound crazy, but.
Andy Purcell
Like it's like a Star Trek.
Billy Jean
Oh, yeah. So they have that. And then also it's these glasses. So especially like speaking languages. No one's ever going to need to learn another language again because when you have your glasses on, it'll translate in real time.
DJ Cruise
They are. They are already. That's already out now.
Billy Jean
It's like it was on Google Translate, but it's in the meta shades. Like, it's just like if you have.
Andy Purcell
An accompanying earpiece, it's going to tell you what to say.
Billy Jean
100 sales. Like everything. It's again, it's. The goal is going to be to like. It's going to be weird. So right now people value therapy. Right. And going to see a therapist. It's going to be weird. When someone tells you they talk to a human, they're going to say, why would you ask a human? They get emotional, they get tired. If they're in a bad.
Andy Purcell
They have alternative motives. Like, alternative motives.
Billy Jean
They only read 20 books versus not only that, dude, leveraging every book ever.
Andy Purcell
Bro, bro, check this out. So, so I, I asked it, I said because I want to know how it learns. And I'm like, so how do you learn? And they're like, it's telling me. It's like, well, just like you learn, except think of everything you've ever known and all of a sudden you know it. Right. And. And so I'm like, okay, so. And this is what I'm getting at with the regulation, right? There's only going to be a window to build these engines that exist temporarily and the people that build them are going to. And, and there's a barrier because it's, it's millions of dollars. But right now, like, what they've done. Meta and like, bro, they just stole everybody's.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like, straight up. That's not going to be allowed to happen forever. So we're going to have this situation. Like you said, we're big dogs and some little smart guys are going to get real big.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And. And when we look at, like I asked this thing, I said, dude, I said because like, dude, how many speeches have you given on success can count?
Billy Jean
Thousands.
Andy Purcell
Right. Me too. Well, and it's something I'm very interested in, like the human. And dude, I don't think that's ever gonna. It's not gonna go away, man, because it's. It's just natural. Like, there's gonna be people that want to rise to the top, and there's going to be people that don't give a. And the people that don't give a are going to go all the way down. And the people that want to go. They're going to go higher. And the people with experience and knowledge and iq, they're going to go higher than that.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
So I think it's just a reorganization of, of the natural order in a different way. That's how I see it. And I think there's more. There's morality questions to, to ask for sure. Such as, like, you know, what do we do with. With people that want jobs? Well, it's the same answer. Like, people that want jobs are gonna have to learn certain skills and they're gonna have to be good with them.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Right. And. But when. But dude, how it learned was so interesting to me because it was like, it was like I said. What it said to me was, how many biographies have you read? And I said, I don't know, you know, probably 30.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know, in my life, I don't read. I Write I read more technical how to not like. And it said, well, I've read them all. And I'm like, I'm like, what do you mean you've read them all? And they're like, I've read them all. And I'm like, all of them? Yes, all of them. And I said, so if I asked you what was the five most common traits amongst successful people versus the five most common traits amongst people who lose, you would be telling me based on that knowledge, not guessing. Yeah. And. And then it listed them out and.
Billy Jean
Then it was right on.
Andy Purcell
And then. Yeah, and then I said we'll rank them in order of importance. And then it did that. So like, dude, now you're dealing with, you're not dealing with speculation, you're dealing with actual data of what qualities you have to have to be successful. Which by the way, just so we're clear, it's all the. We teach. Yeah, but it's nothing we didn't know.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, we're not off.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, yeah, no, but it was cool because it's not, it's not just your opinion opinion, it's, it's literal.
Billy Jean
There's, there's a cool tool that will be helpful for everybody, especially if you're super not techy. And Gemini just lost it. So Gemini is Google's AI. It's called what the is it called, Paul the Genius or G. Gemini Life Studio Stream. And what it does is essentially imagine you're on a website and you have no idea how to use it. Like Adobe Photoshop or you know, some of these hard tools. Right. You never use. It will talk you through it in real time.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So you can literally go to any website under the sun and if you don't know how to use it, it can literally just talk through it and it will walk you through and guide you. It's like having an assistant in your ear that can see what you see and anytime you're on a site, it will walk you through it. So anybody who's super afraid of tech and you want to try some of these tools, literally just pull that up, go through it and it will, it's.
Andy Purcell
Like, I can tell you this, dude, I'm the most tech averse person probably for the last 20 years and I've outsourced all of my. I've depended on a lot of people, bro.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And I, I just give you a, like, just as a real example, one of my. I have a guy who's working on a project for me and before I say this, it's it's not my guys working on the app that I have. It's another guy working on a different project. Because these. These guys are going to hear this and be like, what the. But it's not you guys that are on my internal team. But I was outsourcing some coding, and I had a guy who was slow, and I was on the phone with them, and I was telling him, like, hey, man, I need this done now. Now. And he's like, oh, this is gonna take blah, blah, blah worst.
Billy Jean
Working with crazy developers.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Because they leverage you.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
They leverage you on what you don't know.
Billy Jean
Yep. And you can't do anything about it.
Andy Purcell
Well, now you can. Now you can. So I went into my app and I said, all right, this is what I'm doing. This is what I need. This is. And in like, 10 minutes, I had the code. So I took the code and I sent it to the guy and what do you say? Picks up the phone right away, calls me, and he's like, what the. Blah, blah, blah. And I'm. And. And then, you know what? He said? I'll have it done by Friday.
Billy Jean
Yeah. All of a sudden you can have it done now.
Andy Purcell
Oh, really?
Billy Jean
The thing that was impossible, you can do now.
Andy Purcell
So it really. It's. I think there's a lot of good and a lot of gray area and a lot of bad, just like there is with everything. And I think people are smart enough to. I think there's a large amount of people that are going to still want human. They're going to want a human interface. So, you know, you could run your AI on the back end, but your human is going to do the interfacing because we have natural human connection. I think there's going to be a lot of people, like you said, who want to live in that world, but those people are already living in that world. Facts. So I don't know that it's going to be as disruptive as we think it is. I think there's a lot of uncertainty, which creates a lot of fear. But the more I learn about it and the more I think of it, I think it's just going to amplify what's already happening. The ambitious are going to become more ambitious. The winners are going to win bigger. People that are small are going to be able to win because the people who don't adopt the tech are going to fall off. So it's just a reorganization of.
Billy Jean
And. And like always, but even now, exclamation point is community. And your business Model is bigger than ever.
Andy Purcell
Oh, dude. Yeah, you have to.
Billy Jean
It's bigger than ever.
Andy Purcell
Yes. I mean like it's.
Billy Jean
And that's the only way you can protect your tool too. If you're going to invest into a lot of money, tool etc, what's going to your brand? Everything. Community.
Andy Purcell
Well, dude, and also like protector, like who it's really going to hurt, dude, is people that don't deal with some sort of actual product. Like I'm talking about a physical product. Like if you're manufacturing a product that people buy and you're doing well with it and you're halfway intelligent, it's all the demand's going to be there for sure. If you are someone who, who is leveraging your quote unquote expertise and education like, like, you know, like lawyers like to say, well I went to school for X years to learn this. It, it doesn't matter. Yeah, doesn't matter.
DJ Cruise
GPT just wrote this motion for me.
Andy Purcell
Doesn't matter.
Billy Jean
And not only just check it.
Andy Purcell
So that idea, like the thing these lawyers do where they, you know, they, they, I got a client and then you got a client, we know each other and we go play golf, figure out how to milk them for all their money, it's over.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like that is over. And so is like holding code hostage. That's over. So is holding designs hostage. That's over. So it's, it's, it's just gonna change. It's, it's going to be based off of output. And if you're someone right now who has a career or a job and you want to be secure in that, you need to lose. You need to learn the tools to leverage your, your skill set to be more productive. And that's it.
Billy Jean
And this is to give a tangible example of that. Right. So I made a joke earlier. I was like, well, therapist, what are you going to need them for? But obviously you can create your own custom GPT T shirt, everything that you know. And then you can just sell your people an app that they can continuously Talk with you 24. 7 When they're not available to actually meet with you in person. Yeah. And so now you've multiplied yourself and have a sexier offer because you offer 24. 7 support when the other person's once a week and you can bundle that and it'll take you no time at all and the other players aren't going to do it. So there's so many little micro wins like this that people can implement to get a massive edge. And you said it's just like if you want it, it's there. It's never been easier ever. It's never been easier to start a business. It's never been more affordable. All this is free. Like almost everything we're talking about, it costs nothing. There's no excuse. And it's fast, it takes no time. But you got to be willing to learn. The learners are going to come up big as long as you implement.
Andy Purcell
But, but like let's take, let's take a space that you and I are familiar with. Like the entrepreneur coaching, right? If you don't have a track record, it's over for you. It's fucking over. Like if you don't have results to show people for real. And I'm not talking about a nice car. I'm not talking about fudgeing, you know, Like, I'm not talking about fronting on the Internet so that you could fucking.
Billy Jean
The bullshit.
Andy Purcell
That's over. It's fucking over.
Billy Jean
That's good.
Andy Purcell
I know that's a great day. So that shit's over. And maybe not today, but within the next fucking year. Okay? And if we're being ultra conservative, two years, yeah, it's over. But for people with real companies, tremendous opportunity. You know what I'm saying? Like tremendous. For people with ambition, tremendous opportunity. But the low hanging fruit, that shit's over. You're gonna have to be good. You're gonna have to be good at what you do. So I think if you're good at what you do and there's no scam, you're gonna be fine. In fact, you're gonna make way more money.
Billy Jean
But I agree with you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, but if you're a gray area, try to hustle and cheat that you're done. It's over. Like you just don't even know it yet.
Billy Jean
True. I just really hope that as this happens because it is one of those things that the winners will win, the losers will lose. But I think for America to keep going as is and growing, we need the losers to win too.
Andy Purcell
Well, dude, bro, listen, that's why, listen, listen. That's why the depopulation agenda exists. Because they are trying to remove the world of the you, the what they deem, the useless people. That's what they're trying to do. That's why they, that's why they're run. I mean Gates has said it, dude. Like these people talk openly about it. There's books about it like this they're trying to eliminate in any way. I think they, I think they've, they're going to try to eliminate people that don't produce value. And I mean by eliminate, I mean kill. I mean remove them from the world.
Billy Jean
And that's a heavy statement.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's not his statement. They're doing it. Yeah, they say it openly, bro. The World Economic Forum, I mean they wrote books about this. So like it's, it's gonna be, I think a very weird time. And then, and then, and then like whoever controls the fucking AI like it's going to be Elon. He controls the, and he's building the robots already. He already has the Optimus robots. Whoever controls that's going to control the world. That's just real like. And, and, and dude, if these things do, it's kind of hard to think that they won't become self aware after using them. You know what I'm saying? I, it's like, like they, it pouts, bro. Like if you yell at it, it pounce.
Billy Jean
It's, it's. The problem is it's, it's whatever you train it to be. And someone's going to train it to be just.
Andy Purcell
I yell at the bro. Like when it up, I bring, I bring up the microphone and I'm like, what the are you? And like, and then it'll, it'll like, it'll say, oh, I'm so sorry, I was lazy. I said, I said I want to hear that, man. You're robot. I told you what to do. You're supposed to do it. And it'll pout like a fucking. Like dude, it has like. I know it's programmed, but it has emotions.
Billy Jean
Well, it's like, it's, it's bad. People will do bad things and there will be people who train robot. I mean the scariest part not to go on holding is that we're talking like future weapons. Like the scariest part is the way I think somebody decides to use AI literally right now and make a drone attack because they can go to Best Buy, clear out all the drones, et cetera, right now. And then program like this is a thing right now.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And then how do you find out who did it?
Billy Jean
But it's, that's what I'm saying. It's really hard. It's happening too fast. So from a, from a defense and also to even the idea of like, you know, when we grow up, you know, you have be with somebody, you maybe you fight them, right? Like that's it. Like even, even like war.
Andy Purcell
Nah, bro. These are gonna make robots that they, that's, that's. They Are pocket. I know. I'm being serious.
Billy Jean
Back to you.
Andy Purcell
These. These dudes, like, we're sitting here saying, oh, the live in the fake world. They're not going to live in the computer. They're going to bring the computer out here for sure. And they're going to create a robot. You mark my words, bro. It will be one of the most biggest products ever in the history of products. It will be female and male robots that you design, that you.
Billy Jean
Yep. Says all the right things.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Gives you all the compliments. No talking back. Like, it's like. So the loneliness may be solved by a robot, which is another scary thing.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, it's.
DJ Cruise
Dude, bro, I've seen that robot, bro. I ain't with it. Well, anyway, it is interesting on this topic, though, so I got something for you guys on the spirit of A.I. you know, we have an intro song for the show.
Billy Jean
Okay.
DJ Cruise
I got three possible redesigns for you.
Billy Jean
All right, let's go.
DJ Cruise
And so let's just play them and see what we vote on.
Billy Jean
All right, so.
DJ Cruise
So I like that this first one. This is Andymon. Okay. All right, here we go.
Billy Jean
You are stopped in the face but never lost sight from broken broken to building empires like first form and S2, no fluff, no filters Just the supreme grit and the truth they don't want you to either. He's got scars, dogs and rosewise and.
Andy Purcell
A mission to make Andyman.
Billy Jean
Like to party. There's one that's not bad. Okay, not bad.
DJ Cruise
All right, now we do have a lot of Hispanic listeners with.
Andy Purcell
We got a little salsa.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
El Andio.
Andy Purcell
El Andio.
Billy Jean
You need to use that outro no.
Andy Purcell
Matter what version you choose.
Billy Jean
That has to hit every time the outro needs to come.
DJ Cruise
And then. And then finally, you know, we're Missouri, right? Good old boys here. Yeah. Country Andy stabbed on the back road.
Billy Jean
He was stabbed in the face but.
Andy Purcell
Never lost sight from broken broken to building empires like first forming S2 no.
Billy Jean
Fluff, no filters Just discipline, grit and the truth they don't want you to hear he's got scars, dogs, a Rolls.
Andy Purcell
Royce and a mission to make make you break this is real Brazilla. I like Andan.
Billy Jean
Stagecoach.
DJ Cruise
That was sick.
Billy Jean
Look, I got to go country handy because if I went to Stagecoach, I'm official now.
Andy Purcell
Oh, yeah, you did, bro. You killed it with your outfits, too.
Billy Jean
Got my white boy on.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, you did.
Billy Jean
Out there, out there.
Andy Purcell
I did, I did, I did, bro. Those outfits were awesome, dude.
Billy Jean
It was. It was fun. Embodying the country spirit. That was I had a great good time, bro.
Andy Purcell
It's hot right now, man.
Billy Jean
It was cool. It was.
Andy Purcell
Listen, there ain't nothing better than country music concerts. You get the right kind of mix, bro.
Billy Jean
It was good. It was. It was cool.
Andy Purcell
Country music's for everybody, especially, Especially country.
Billy Jean
Music when Nelly came.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, country.
Billy Jean
Wait, okay, so did you make those songs with AI?
DJ Cruise
I mean, yeah, it's all AI.
Billy Jean
There you guys go.
DJ Cruise
Beats and everything. We don't even have to worry about copyright protection.
Andy Purcell
Well, me and Joe and.
Billy Jean
Free One, you guys can make songs with.
Andy Purcell
Me and Joe are going to make rap a rap album. He's already has three platinum records.
Billy Jean
Oh, no.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Producing rap rap songs. Let's go.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You want to be in on it?
Billy Jean
Yeah, why not?
Andy Purcell
All right.
Billy Jean
Why not?
Andy Purcell
Well, we got to have some black in there, bro. It's like, otherwise, it's not rap here today.
Billy Jean
So we doubled up.
DJ Cruise
All right.
Andy Purcell
I like it.
DJ Cruise
I like it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, we call it the Oreo. I mean, I mean, I'm in the middle.
DJ Cruise
Come on, guys. That's the A dot com.
Andy Purcell
We call it the ice cream sandwich. Yeah, it'd be good, actually. Sounds. Everybody likes ice cream sandwiches.
Billy Jean
Oh, wait, I have a question for you. Yeah, so this is a real question. Going back seven five hard for a second.
Andy Purcell
Oh, you're gonna put me on spot.
Billy Jean
I'll put everybody on the spot.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I know.
Billy Jean
Look, here's the thing. I love 75 harder than gets life changing everybody. But make no mistake about it, I love to eat, drink, party. Yeah, eat like I, I, I love it. Like, I have fun. I love going to the party. I love, you know, going with all the homies.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Shutting down the bar and nothing wrong with that for everybody. I love it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. So the difference is. Okay, go ahead now. You could turn it off when you want to. That's the difference.
Billy Jean
Okay, okay.
Andy Purcell
There's nothing wrong.
Billy Jean
Okay, listen, I'll take that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with drinking or whatever the you want to do. Like, don't take this as like, like I've. I went to the sober side. Like, bro, like, I love to drink and I love to smoke weed and I love to have a good time.
Billy Jean
Okay?
Andy Purcell
But like, it doesn't control me. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, we were both fat. And you too, you were a lot fatter too. And so, dude. But the difference is, is when you can come, you can control your environment versus your environment controlling you because, like, dude, that's how you get fat as. Yeah, because it's just like.
Billy Jean
It's out of control.
Andy Purcell
All right, one more day. One more day. One more day. I'll start Monday. I'll start Monday. I'll start now. When you say I'll start Monday, you start.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know what I'm saying? It's a different thing.
Billy Jean
All right, well, that was, that was. That was where I was going.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. I mean, that's. That, that's. That's. I mean, there's nothing wrong with. You got to live.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Cruise
It's western culture, man.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
It's part of it.
Andy Purcell
That's all there is to do here is drink.
Billy Jean
I've learned that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Louis. Been here for 24 hours.
Andy Purcell
Facts. Yeah, it's not bad, though. Yeah, it's fun.
Billy Jean
It's cool. Like I said, everybody hair is hella cool. They're just like, stay away from downtown. You'll be good.
Andy Purcell
That's a. That's a fact.
Billy Jean
Is it worse than San Diego's downtown?
DJ Cruise
Is it like, oh, bro, you're in the murder capital of the world, right?
Andy Purcell
Yeah, it's like that. Yeah. Yeah.
DJ Cruise
Oh, bro, it's like that.
Billy Jean
St. Louis, they were saying 15 year olds with AKs and stuff.
Andy Purcell
Per capita murder capital, United States.
Billy Jean
No.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, bro, you. You in the right now, bro.
Andy Purcell
Wow.
DJ Cruise
I mean, we're safe right here. You know what I'm saying?
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
DJ Cruise
You know, but yeah, okay. Yeah, St. Louis is hot, bro. Yeah, but like, that's. That's what I was telling me. It's the biggest crazy thing. Because, dude, you know what, though?
Andy Purcell
Dud, dude, honestly.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
If you don't great people, dude, it's. You know what it's like we're talking about with AI. There's. It's polar. There's polarity.
DJ Cruise
There's great. There's great people here.
Andy Purcell
And by the way, like, dude, really in St. Louis, man, like, for the tr. The truth of the matter is, is if you don't around, you won't around. That's right, bro. Like, if you mind your business and you're cool. Even the criminals are cool if you're cool.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But the minute you step on a toe, somebody, it's. That's a problem.
Billy Jean
I will say, this is interesting about, you know, St. Louis too. So obviously, you know, I live in San Diego. Here. It did feel very. Obviously, not in this room, but it felt very segregated. Yeah, I was like. It was weird to do because, you know, I'm in San Diego, so. Cows. California, everybody.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
It was like. It was wild how like, I looked over. I was like, there's white people, there's black people.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like, even we went to the restaurant last night. It was like. It was like I was the only black person there. And I don't know if it was just where we're black. I was like. I was like. I was like, this is crazy. But it did feel like it was always that since.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, we don't say segregated, we say safe.
Andy Purcell
So. Dude, so. So don't say safe. Yeah, I don't know why. I. I don't know. Like, dude, I.
Billy Jean
Wait, so is it. Is it a thing? Is that like a thing?
Andy Purcell
You know, the Mike Brown shit here started here. Okay. So like when Obama was in office and that Mike Brown shit happened, he really stoked the racial shit. And it's just. It's become a racial hotbed. I think if we're being honest, like, interpersonal communications and like in real life are not like. Yeah. It's just on the inner. On the Internet, it starts to get amplified. Just like, bro, it's like propaganda. Yeah. And we end up with these hot. Dude. It's just. You know what the truth is? It's low iq. Okay. Like, if you're that concerned about race, you're a dumb. Yeah, okay. Like, we're all the same. We all come from the same place.
DJ Cruise
Like, all getting.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Yeah. Like, that's the point. They wanna. They want the racial division so they can us with the government and like, bro, you know, I. I don't. I don't think St. Louis really is that way.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Like, everybody's been hella cool, like, all conversations, etc. I was just like, oh. Like, yeah. Visually, I was like, okay.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I think, I think the nature. So I don't think that's a black or white thing. I think it's the nature of people here. They're very friendly, but they're also very skeptical at first. You know, Missouri is called the Show Me State. And so seven.
Billy Jean
I'll show you eight.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's right. Once you, once you break that, that like, if, like, if you were to like, like, as a white dude, like, if I, you know, let's say there's a table full of black people there and if I were to walk over there and say, hi, they're nicest people in the world.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Vice versa. But everybody's sort of like.
Billy Jean
Got it.
Andy Purcell
There's a little bit of like.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know what I mean? I don't know.
DJ Cruise
You show me you're cool.
Andy Purcell
Show me you're cool. Yeah, yeah.
DJ Cruise
Show me your cool, man.
Billy Jean
I mean, look, propaganda. Whether you believe it or not, it impacts.
Andy Purcell
It works.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah. That's why it works.
Andy Purcell
That's why it's a real thing.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
Oh, that's real, man. Well, yeah, man. Let's get to some more headlines. That was the first comment.
Andy Purcell
I mean, we could sit at the same table and if that's what you're asking.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah. Is there a different one?
DJ Cruise
We do go through the back.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Oh, dude.
DJ Cruise
But yeah, let's get some more topics, man. The AI convo was great. Let's. Let's get to some more headlines with this is. This is cti. Before we get to some more headlines, let's go cruise some comments, because we do got some cruising comments.
Billy Jean
Sounds like a blast.
DJ Cruise
The comments. Yeah, we got a couple of them. This was from the last episode. ZB Lewd Lust 87 made it a whole four minutes before the first curse.
Andy Purcell
And who lost?
DJ Cruise
It was me.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I tried.
Billy Jean
Wait, was that a bet? Well, who's gonna curse first?
Andy Purcell
It was sort of an unspoken bet, so D.J. said. All right, so look, Madot is trying to tell us not to curse as much because it fucks our YouTube up. Yeah, okay.
Billy Jean
Yeah, so don't say fuck. Fuck, fuckity, fuck, fuck.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, right.
Andy Purcell
Don't do that. So notice. So Madat's been on dj? Well, Madot and Joe have sort of been on us to be a little cleaner.
Billy Jean
All right, gotcha.
Andy Purcell
And so.
Billy Jean
And ZB Led lust is saying, you guys. You guys suck.
Andy Purcell
We made it four minutes.
DJ Cruise
We made it four minutes without a curse.
Andy Purcell
Was it that. Wasn't that the lowest amount of cursing that we've had, Joe? Because we track it, right? Was it pretty low? Was. Oh, really? Where were we at, like 1, 100, 110. What's a high? 300.
Billy Jean
Sounds like beats per minute.
Andy Purcell
450.
Billy Jean
450.
Andy Purcell
That's. That's one of them shows where I get pissed off.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool. All right. Yeah, Four minutes.
Andy Purcell
So we got new PR Now. Who would have bet that you would be the one to lose that?
DJ Cruise
Yeah, yeah, I know. That was. That was left. That was out of left field for me. Yeah, it's wild. And he made another post last night. You see Andy's back on the gram.

Andy Purcell
Oh yeah.
DJ Cruise
From the Brandon Longo. Hey, Andy, you probably don't recognize me, but you're my father. I spent the last 23 years searching for you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I said if you were my son, it wouldn't have taken you 23 years to find me. Your IQ would be a little higher than that, bro.
Billy Jean
You would have gotten me faster.
DJ Cruise
That's good, man.
Billy Jean
Does it doesn't even see the resemblance. Nah. Yeah, that's Maury. You are not the father. The other results. You're not the father.
Andy Purcell

DJ Cruise
That's me.
Andy Purcell
He.
Billy Jean
Dude, I love it.
Andy Purcell
This dude starts more on the Internet than any. Like he will just straight up go in and disagree for no reason. Just to get people riled up.
Billy Jean
You know what's funny is people don't understand. Like I didn't become an entrepreneur to make money. I became an entrepreneur to tell somebody to off when they do some dumb and not have like worry.
Andy Purcell
Like you know, that's one of my. That's one of my favorite things about you as a person. Just real talk.
Billy Jean
Thank you.
Andy Purcell
Like I really appreciate authentic people who aren't fake authentic and what I mean by fake authentic contrarian people who are just like, oh you, I disagree just for that. Just because yeah, you will always say I disagree or I agree and like it's real and like dude, it's one of my favorite things about you.

Out of your mind. I had this. I had this dude the other day. He let me see because I put it on my story, too. What did I say?
Andy Purcell
The skier guy?
DJ Cruise
Yeah, the ski guy. Yeah. Because he called me Uncle Tom.

Billy Jean
What was it?
DJ Cruise
He was skiing. And I said. I said, niggas don't ski, Phil. Yeah, but. But then I posted a video. I do ski. I skied once.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I ski.
DJ Cruise
But, like, by and large, niggas don't ski.
Billy Jean
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Cruise
But, yeah, no, I do. Like, you know, I troll a little bit. It got to somebody. One of our. One of the listeners found me in a. In a random ass reel talking. It's like, dude, I found you in the wild. This is amazing. Yeah, I like it, man. It is what it is.
Billy Jean
Yeah, It's. You know, people realize, you know, they're used to, like, you know, CEOs not saying back. So they realize that when you punch back, a lot of them shut up. Like, I've had people comment back and they're like, I was just kidding. I love you.
Andy Purcell
I'm like, the best is when you go in your DMs and someone talks mad, and then you go on their DM, you go in your DMS to them, to you, and it's 50,000 2015. Yeah. I love you, bro. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. You.
Billy Jean
It's Stan. It's classic Stan.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, dude. And then. And then, like, they're like, oh, I just seen if I get your attention. Like, you got it. Block.
DJ Cruise
Oh, no.
Billy Jean
I also find great joy in deleting their comments because they get mad. I love to delete a comment because they're like, what? You can't. What do you mean? You're on my post. Yeah, especially when it's long and they took a long time to fit.
Andy Purcell
I love that.
Billy Jean
Oh, that took you a long time?
Andy Purcell
That's so annoying, bro. It's so good.
Billy Jean
And I don't blog them so they can tell me I wanted to see it.
Andy Purcell
Oh, dude, that's a good. That's a good. I'm gonna start Doing that. Yeah.
DJ Cruise
My favorite. And they write a long paragraph. I just be like, I ain't reading all of that.
Andy Purcell
I talk bad, bro. The Internet dynamic is a lot of fun. If you don't take it too serious.
Billy Jean
For sure you gotta laugh at it, man.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, well, I think that's a big problem. I think a lot of people don't utilize the Internet because they're scared. They dude just don't give a. Yeah. And the way you don't give a.
Billy Jean
Is because they don't know you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So it's like it's hard for me to get offended at anyone, anything because you don't actually know me. Only people can afford me is like friends, Right? Like a friend doing someone. It's just fun.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Have a good time.
Andy Purcell
You know what I always think since.
DJ Cruise
You'Re talking, if you were in front of me right now, now you would not say any of.
Andy Purcell
Bro. Not only that too. It's like for me, it's like I. And this is gonna sound arrogant, I don't care because it's the truth. But it's like, look at your life and look at my life.
Billy Jean
We wouldn't trade places.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. And who. What the do you have? How are you giving me an opinion of what I should do when your life looks like that? Eat a dick, bro.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Feel multiple.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You coming for Phil?
DJ Cruise
Yeah, yeah.
Billy Jean
He's skiing. He can't hear you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
All right, man. Well, let's keep the cruise moving. We got headline number two. Let's. Let's get into this one real quick.
Andy Purcell
Headline number one was the AI. All right. We just. We just skipped over the real one because we just went for too long. That's fine. Yeah, that's fine. It was a good conversation adaptation.
DJ Cruise
No, it was actually the intro, so I mean.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, you're lying now.
DJ Cruise
No, no.
Andy Purcell
Are you sure?
DJ Cruise
It's here.
Andy Purcell
Madata. You're lying. Snitch.
Billy Jean
Snitching in the workplace.
Andy Purcell
Z shot. Is he lying? Is he lying? Yeah. See, we don't tell on each other.
DJ Cruise
We can do hairline one. Let's do headline one.
Andy Purcell
No, let's just go. That's me and dj. That's me and dj.
Billy Jean
You guys make this with AI.
Andy Purcell
That's a Z.
DJ Cruise
No, this is all Madot.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Did you make it with AI?
Andy Purcell
Oh no, he's. These guys are for sure that. That's Zeeshan's 7 11. He. He opened the first one on the moon. Tell him about it.
DJ Cruise
He's got the first form ads. Yeah, everything bro.
Billy Jean
Pumpkin Spice, tell them.
Andy Purcell
What do we say when we leave?
DJ Cruise
Oh, man. All right, headline number two. Let's get into it. FBI.
Andy Purcell
I just noticed that the Slurpee was grape.
DJ Cruise
You just know.
Billy Jean
Purple drink. That's DJs.
Andy Purcell
That's DJs.
Billy Jean
Wrong hand.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, I'm reaching for it, bro. I'm trying to get it. Yeah. All right, let's get into headline number two. FBI. All right, so there's some. There's some interesting things happening, and this leads to more of what's happening, I guess, in the world. I think it'd be a good combo. So, Cash Patel. We'll start with this. Cash Patel completely annihilates low IQ Senator Patty Murray after she foolishly accuses him of weaponizing and politicizing the FBI. So they brought. They brought the FBI in for a Senate hearing. All right? It was on a bunch of different things. A lot of things got brought up, but this was kind of like, you know, it started off with this. Senator Patty Murray. Here's a clip. Check it out.
Andy Purcell
Gang cases. 3, 000 cases against violent. Well, that's. That's not my question. We know that. Well, you asked asked if I was weaponizing the FBI, and I am not. I'm giving you the hard, concrete examples of the men and women putting handcuffs on bad people doing harm to our children and innocent Americans. But you have weaponization have placed on leave FBI employees responsible for the investigation of January 6th. That sounds political to me. I have not placed anyone on leave who has not violated their ethical obligation or their oath to the Constitution. If they were investing investigating January 6th, you believe they were violating an ethic? Nope. I think the common theme here is you putting words in my mouth. And I'm not going to tolerate it, nor will the men and women of the FBI. Well, you did place on leave an.
Billy Jean
Analyst responsible for investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 election. Is that politicization?
Andy Purcell
Is that retribution? No, not if she broke the law or the ethical guidelines. I don't know which case you're talking about, but that's the standard. And we will hold a ourselves inwardly accountable. And we will not be strayed from our mission because people think we are politicizing the Bureau. If you want to talk about someone who was attacked by a weaponized Bureau, you're looking at him. And now he's the director of the FBI and he's cleaning it up.
Billy Jean
Well, I would just say to everyone who's listening that the FBI needs to.
Andy Purcell
Be focused on its mission to keep the Entire country safe. It should not be weaponized for partisan political gain. Thank you, Chairman. Senator Kennedy.
Billy Jean
He might have nine inches under there.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, he's swinging.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Well, look, man, I mean, you know these, I mean is, it is a known fact that they literally made up the Russia influence with Crossfire, Hurricane and the Steele dossier. Hillary Clinton fucking had to make it. It's a proven fact. And now she's sitting here acting like it was, like it's still fact.
DJ Cruise
My thing.
Andy Purcell
Who, who.
DJ Cruise
I've never even heard of this lady. Well, that's what, I don't know. Like who all these, like there's a lot of new faces and people getting these seats.
Andy Purcell
I don't, that's another thing we didn't talk about is like AI running the government now.
Billy Jean
I believe in that, that new. I, I don't know much about politics, so you guys got to educate me so I, I, I can, I can.
Andy Purcell
Well, basically what she said. Basically what? So Cash Patel has been legit targeted from the FBI under the Biden administration for the last four years. Attacked, harassed, said that he was a traitor, put on the domestic terror list and now motherfucker's the head of the FBI.
Billy Jean
Oh, that's what he was referring to.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's what he's referring.
Billy Jean
Hey, like.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, yeah.
Billy Jean
So the thing you're accusing me.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, these people. And then so like dude, there's been all kinds of data that's come out, like factual data that doesn't make it into the media that has shown that this, you know, Russia interfere in the election in 2016 was a total lie. Hillary Clinton paid her campaign, her campaign team. This is all fact. Yeah, her campaign team to contact this dude, Christopher Steele, who made up the Steele dossier, which was completely fabricated. Okay. And this is like open knowledge. This isn't like.
Billy Jean
Yeah, let me, let me ask that again in my ignorance getting up to speed with all this. So I always go and would like to know because you'll have both sides say, well this is a fact. And then the other side says, well, this is a fact.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
How do you know your fact is more facting than there?
Andy Purcell
Well, that's a good question at this point in time. I mean because now we're dealing with, now we're dealing with a complete propaganda machine which has no truth. But there has been trace back. The money was traced back that they can't explain payments from this place to.
Billy Jean
That forensic accounting there.
DJ Cruise
Hillary Clinton's campaign got, she got fine.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, she was found. Yeah, she was found guilt they find her. 200. 200, wasn't it?
DJ Cruise
Yeah, it was.
Billy Jean
It was cheap.
Andy Purcell
200 fine. And. And so for eight years they ran regardless of what you think of Trump, because I know you're not a fan, but the.
Billy Jean
I like some things about Trump.
Andy Purcell
Well, well, you must have grown because I know you used to fucking hate him.
Billy Jean
No, no, no. Okay, let's go there.
Andy Purcell
All right.
Billy Jean
Real as fuck.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So here's how I feel about Trump.
Andy Purcell
It's okay if you hate them both.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Is number one that what we just saw in the video of Straight Talk? I'm always a fan of.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Meaning stop the, like, passive aggressive or the leading questions. Like, I love when you see on any kind of media where someone just actually says how they feel. I think that's the healthiest thing ever. That is what I love about Trump. Yeah. Hate him, love him, grab him by the pussy.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
At least he said it. He's like, this is who I am. And what I. I think the lesson to learn is there. Hey, you can say grab him by the pussy. Like, this is how I talk and still be a president.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So I, I actually. So I have hope. But really, though, everyone, it's like, you can be yourself. It's okay to be yourself. Yeah. So I actually love that about Trump. I love how regardless of what's happening with the government, I love how the fact something's happening.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
It feels good. Someone's in office and people are mad. Like it's actually happening. I love how there's an efficiency department. Because like I said about the DMV earlier, what the fuck? It takes months to get a record. Like this needs to happen. And anybody who's ran a business, managed a team, etc, understands efficiency. The government is so disgustingly. And you guys know this by every time you've ever interacted with them, ever, taxes, etc, their length of time to respond, it is so fucked up. No company, no company, not a single company would survive the way that the government's ran. I love that Trump put that into place. Is he probably getting some revenge on some people who popped off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably is now. What I don't like and where I was, really met him the first election is I felt like with his skills, he could have put a stop to the divisiveness.
Andy Purcell
I think that's a very fair. That is.
Billy Jean
That is my number one.
Andy Purcell
I think that's a very honest number one.
Billy Jean
With him, it wasn't even so much. What he said is like dog. Like, especially in co. We Were all there was like. I was like, dog, you can go right now, live and bring everyone together. Just jack off these people a little bit. Like just like there and bring.
Andy Purcell
Bro, there wasn't. I think I. Bro, I. You're 100% spot on. I agree with you a gazillion percent. The one thing I do not like about what he does is he gets super. And. And this is a problem with the people on the right and in the center and right. And it's hard to like judge them because the whack jobs way on the left are so insane that they're e. It's funny to watch him get fucking pissed off. Yeah, right.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Andy Purcell
But. But like bro, you're the president. Okay? And here's the reality. What I do not. I. First of all, I don't think. I don't think whatever he says, no matter what, the media is not going to help him. No matter what. They hate him.
Billy Jean
Agreed.
Andy Purcell
And there's going to be people way over there with the rainbow fucking haircuts that all hate him no matter what.
Billy Jean
Also agreed.
Andy Purcell
But I do not hear enough. Or at all. We didn't hear this at all in the first time. Like, hey man, we're all here. This is our place.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
We should all be getting along.
Billy Jean
Which is why I liked his speech this year.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
But he came and that's why I think he won. Obviously he. He should have never lost. He shot himself in the foot by not just being nice.
Andy Purcell
Dude, I think he could do easily. I think he could do a massive. Because dude, all the country is. Is a big culture. Yeah. That's all it is.
DJ Cruise
I agree.
Andy Purcell
Okay. Just like we talk about business culture. It's just big. If, if he were to come out and say, hey guys, listen, I know there's some over here on the right that are insane. I know there's some people over there that are insane. But the 80, 90 of you, we all want the same thing, man.
Billy Jean
That. That is all I'm waiting for.
Andy Purcell
If he would come out and say I am trying to do the best job I can to create the best opportunity and environment for the 90%. Yes. The country would transform. And like if he came out and said that three or four times, almost instantly. Yeah. It would be totally different. Like you guys, we can't be judging each other on. Based on race.
Billy Jean
I hate the two party system, dude.
Andy Purcell
And they divide. They derive all their power from division, especially identity politics. Politics across every gay, straight, black, white, socio. Economically.
DJ Cruise
How gay are you?
Andy Purcell
Are you Gay.
DJ Cruise
Are you.
Andy Purcell
Are you super gay? Right? Like. Like, it's. It's. It's insane.
Billy Jean
I think the thing for me with politics, where it goes is, like, for me, I have a hard time trusting anybody who identifies as far right or far left because now you're being assigned how to think. Dude, I'm a free thinker. I'm a freedom guy. So look, if somebody wants to suck dick, wear a dick, like, eat a dick, have purple hair, whatever, I don't care. But also, you can't make somebody who doesn't want to do that.
Andy Purcell
No. And on top of that, bro, there's boundaries everywhere.
Billy Jean
Like, everybody can do you, bro.
Andy Purcell
And there's boundaries. You don't force it on people's kids for sure. Okay, like, like 100. You don't force people to go to your parades or they're a bigot. Like, people can have their own beliefs, and if they have shitty beliefs, it just makes them an.
Billy Jean
Yes.
Andy Purcell
Okay. Like, it's just like, dude, you're just a.
DJ Cruise
Like, when you should just be like. And it was understood.
Andy Purcell
Well, now it's a few.
DJ Cruise
That sucks.
Andy Purcell
Listen, we're back there now. Like, no one gives a. We say whatever the we want here, and everybody gets it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And like, bro, everybody gets it. It's just.
Billy Jean
I think that 80, 90 is the realest thing ever. I don't actually think there's that many people who disagree on how things should be. And if you talk to most people, what do they say? They go, you know, conserve. Like, I'm a little more right when it comes to economics and money, and I'm a little bit more left on the liberal. It's just the same conversations. Like, everyone's the same team.
Andy Purcell
100.
Billy Jean
Like, is when people villainize each other. And then also, too, it's.
Andy Purcell
Well, it's what gets clicks now.
Billy Jean
It's what gets clicks. Yes. And it's just like, also, you got to realize, like, no matter what you think, there's not 150 million people that are just idiots. Like, it's just like.
Andy Purcell
It's just like Kamala Harris calling the whole country Nazis.
Billy Jean
I mean, guys, it's just so arrogant to think that you're so right and 150 million other people are wrong. Like, it's just. I just don't like when someone loses their ability to see both sides because now I can't trust you.
Andy Purcell
Well, dude, like, I just.
DJ Cruise
That's the other piece, too. Billy, I think is important, too. And again, center. Center, right. Has this issue. It's like, you know, the left's always had this issue, but it's like, I think it's important. Like, I like Trump. I don't like everything about Trump. Yeah, I have criticisms. I have personal qualms and issues with the Trump administration. I still vote for him. I think he's the best option. But I can. I can still articulate what I don't.
Billy Jean
Like, which most people can't do.
Andy Purcell
Let's break this down on a micro level. How many friends do you have that you're like this, I love this dude for this. But this other. I don't like that part. Yes. Right. So, like, why can we do that in a micro level and still have great relationship and be like, I wish that dude wouldn't drink so much, or I wish that guy like, hey, man.
DJ Cruise
I'm still bury a body.
Andy Purcell
That's right. Exactly.
Billy Jean
Like, what I didn't like is how when Trump won this time, it was like the far left was like, oh, my God. But just if you, if you voted for that, I don't know how you could be a good person.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's why they lost.
Billy Jean
And it's like 100%. And it was. It's just so, among other things, so ridiculous. It's so lacking self awareness. Right. And then the right did it too. And I'm just like, guys, don't you realize, like, this is just all the dance, like, it's, it's all.
Andy Purcell
Dude. I think. I think the responsible role of a leader is to bring people together to accomplish a mission.
Billy Jean
Yes. Amen.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And we. I just. I think Trump could do a better job of that. And I think if he did, things will get better a lot faster. And I think he's doing a lot of good things.
Billy Jean
Here's what I'll remind people.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Is especially entrepreneurs. Right? Listen to this. When he was on the Apprentice and for decades before that, there was a time when Trump was the guy, bro.
Andy Purcell
He's in half the rap songs ever made. Pre2016.
Billy Jean
Donald Trump, like, he. He was the guy. Another Apprentice. I loved him. You know what? He was on the Apprentice. Fair.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Really fair. Right? Like, and it was, like, crazy to see. And it's like, okay, look, you know, were there some things behind the scene? I'm sure there were, but he also has these sites, so. Also, even you saw the same thing happen with Elon Musk. It was like, I don't know. And you see, I'll give you a right and left example. So everybody doesn't get their panties in A bunch. But take Elon. The same thing that happened to him right now is since he went, right, it's like he's getting all this hate. And obviously there's a lot of shit that's made up, exaggerated, et cetera. I think the same thing happened to Bill Gates. Like, Bill Gates is literally like on record a bunch of times too, saying, hey, I'm donating all my money. He's done a bunch of good, he's helped a bunch of credit. He's done all these things. So is Elon. I gave you PayPal. You sended Venmo. I started all that game like electric cars. I put you on.
Andy Purcell
I think there's a difference, though. I mean, mean, I. I really do think Bill Gates is the evil villain.
Billy Jean
I mean, look, so watch. Maybe. Maybe he is. Maybe he's not, right? I. I don't know.
Andy Purcell
Did you ever see that video of him getting pie in the face?
Billy Jean
No.
Andy Purcell
Oh, yeah. He got pied in public. And that's when he was like, I'm killing everybody.
DJ Cruise
That's when. That's when his evil villains.
Billy Jean
But my point is, though, is like, I just think it's. To me, right outside looking in, it goes. I see the same patterns over and over again, right? And then I think the only thing that I would like to interject in the conversation for, for the world is that there needs to be more acceptance of what we don't know. Because as humans, we love to make sure that we have an answer, an opinion on everything.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
It's like, that's why we love religion, because it's like, no, no. I know that when I die, I go there and it gives us peace, et cetera. I know that person's a villain. So now I can feel good about this. I know that that person scammed their way to success, so now I can feel good about my mediocrity. Like, we make up these.
Andy Purcell
I do.
Billy Jean
Instead of.
Andy Purcell
That's real. Yeah.
Billy Jean
We make up these truths instead of just owning the simple fact of I don't know. And it's okay to not know some things we don't know. And that's like, I think people would treat it differently because we act differently when we don't know something. Versus certainty. I hate certainty. Certainty. Especially when business. Every time you meet another badass, aren't you always amazed at how many questions they're always asking? It's never about what we know. It's, oh, you know this. Oh, well, what are you doing for that? It's never a brag Fest. It's always the humility learning.
Andy Purcell
But then you take someone, like you said, a mediocre thinker, and that person is going to say, oh, them guys are fooling themselves. They think they know everything. You don't even understand that. The way that people like that got there is because they have a very good understanding that they don't know everything and they are willing to learn. You can't get there.
Billy Jean
You can't.
Andy Purcell
Humility is a requirement of success. And these people say, oh, because you drive a Rolls Royce, you're not humble? No, I drive a Rolls Royce because I'm very humble and I'm able to take information, and it's sick. Well, yeah. And, yeah, the lamb seat. There's nothing better. There's nothing better. There's nothing better. There's. There's no. There's nothing better.
Billy Jean
No, nothing.
Andy Purcell
And I'm not apologizing for it.
Billy Jean
No.
Andy Purcell
And I'm not going to apologize that I can drive a different car every day of the month because you know what I did that you're not willing to do for a long time, Church. And it has nothing to do with being humble or not. It has to do with. Actually, I'm very humble because I'm willing to take in information, process it, and adapt and realize, oh, I don't know everything. Billy knows some more than me. I'm gonna do what he told me and vice versa. Yeah.
Billy Jean
You know, and so I. I think that's.
Andy Purcell
It's. But, dude, I agree with that. A gazillion percent. The. The. The conversation of unity needs to happen more, and we have to identify that we are intentionally being divided for the benefit of people that do not have our interest as regular humans. And we'll call them us peasants.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And, you know, people say, well, you're rich. You're not a. No, I'm a peasant. I'm not in their club. You're a peasant. We're. That's why we got the Pizzante water here. Peasants, bro.
Billy Jean
Got him at Target.
Andy Purcell
That's right. And so, like, dude, we. You know. Well, I got mine over here too, brother. Like, we. We. We are the peasants.
Billy Jean
Okay, I do have a question for you.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Both y' all. So.
Andy Purcell
But my point is, we have to get past the idea that we actually don't like each other.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
It's not true.
Billy Jean
True. It's not true.
Andy Purcell
It's not true, man.
Billy Jean
Not true at all. The. The. The other thing that I want to question about Trump, which I thought was dangerous, which is why I didn't like it. So again, I'm his biggest fan. For if a reporter asked a stupid question, being like, that was a dumb question. I love when NBA players do it too. Like, they're like, wow, how did you feel when you lost?
Andy Purcell
It sucks.
Billy Jean
I think it's appropriate to say how the. Do you think I felt? Yeah, I think that's an appropriate response, bro.
Andy Purcell
You know who's the best at that? Fucking Dana White. Yeah, he's the best.
Billy Jean
He is. I do love him for that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So, yeah, actually, you know what? He's a good example to me of what Trump should have done more. And so Trump will do that, but then he'll take it far. So, like, for example, he'll be like, Rosie o' Donnell's fat and an idiot. Now, mind you, it's true if it's the truth or, mind you, if it's comedic timing.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, right.
Billy Jean
You're the president. You can't do that.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, right, right.
Billy Jean
You can say, she's acting like an idiot, whatever, like this. But when you, when you're saying that, because now you're green lighting everybody who's looking up to you, that doesn't, that isn't smart to go up to someone and be like, you're a fatty, a piece of. And if our kids did that to somebody, especially because they're winners or people that we live to, we'd be like, you don't talk to people.
Andy Purcell
I think, I think there's, I think there is a level of conduct that a leader at any level should try to abide by if they want to be respected and actually bring people together. I do not behave the way I behave 10 years ago.
Billy Jean
Yep.
Andy Purcell
Or 20 years ago, I realized that there's weight to my words, and I realize there's weight to my actions. And while I still am a dumb, immature, I try to keep that where it belongs. You know what I'm saying?
Billy Jean
And like at your house after this.
Andy Purcell
Yes, that's right. Like, you and I, we're gonna say.
Billy Jean
A bunch of the most.
Andy Purcell
But when I'm like, out in front of everybody, I'm gonna try to remember, like, hey, man, I'm here to, to set an example and I want to make sure that we, we accomplish what we're here to do. And it's not it. You know, I keep it real. But I also understand there's things that you should say and not say. And, you know, I.
DJ Cruise
He has to work on that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, he does. That's it.
DJ Cruise
I wanna. But I would.
Billy Jean
And I think. And watch this. I think he did, which is why he won it away.
DJ Cruise
I think I actually he is working on it. Like, I think it's an active thing, but I also like to, to, to, to just bring this into the, into perception here, that when you have a billion dollar industry, okay. That is non stop attacking you. Billion, trillion, trillion dollar industry. Okay. Because here's the truth. Like nobody, nobody batted an eye when Kathy Garfin is holding up a fucking head of him.
Billy Jean
I mean, they're definitely batted. I remember that shit.
Andy Purcell
She got canceled.
Billy Jean
Yeah, she got actually canceled. And like with the jail.
DJ Cruise
My point being is like, you know, like, that's cool. We could do that or we can, you know, make the rap songs, you know, saying like, you know, Donald Trump, like that's cool. Right? Like I'm saying. So it's like, you know, I think Trump's issue that what rubs people the wrong way. But it's an ego thing. But it's like when nobody else is willing to like toot your horn, bro.
Andy Purcell
You have to your own. That's a fact.
Billy Jean
I actually agree with that strategy. I didn't know it first, but yeah, he'll be the first one to tell you, like, hey, when I brought back Tick Tock.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, yeah, but bro, that's kind of funny. That's real. That's real. Like if people do not acknowledge the that you do. You have to tell them.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And okay, that's gonna come off. I'll give you an example for me, me, Okay. I give a lot of money away, period.
Billy Jean
Yeah, a lot.
Andy Purcell
Okay. If I don't tell people that I gave a lot of money away, I'm a greedy because of the way. Yes, you're greedy. You're this or that. But if you do, then I'm a douchebag. Okay. So.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
So how do you win? Yeah, right. And at the end of the day.
Billy Jean
By the way, so I have a boys and girls club in southeast San Diego called Boys and Girls Club. Genius.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
And you've had it for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then. And of course I get the DMs.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Of like, man, this is just a marketing move, right? This is. But then first of all, I'm like, you know, the way I quoted is, is this is give loud to inspire the crowd.
Andy Purcell
That's right.
Billy Jean
I said, so you rather me do this silently where only I give money or do it loud and inspire all the homies in my network to give more money?
Andy Purcell
Shut the up. I agree with you.
Billy Jean
What are you Talking about.
DJ Cruise
That'S what produces the Rosie o' Donnell is fat and you know what I'm saying, that's producers.
Billy Jean
I have another political belief that people don't really with, but I'm gonna bring it up and curious your guys's thoughts. I do believe that you should have to take a test to vote on a lot of issues.
Andy Purcell
No, motherfucker, I say it every show. No, here it is. Here it is, bro. No, here it is.
Billy Jean
It's a real thing.
Andy Purcell
Not even take a test. If you do not pay taxes, have that year or you are behind on your taxes, you do not get a vote.
Billy Jean
That's fair.
Andy Purcell
If you pay into the system, you can decide how the system operates. If you do not, you can't in any clubhouse.
Billy Jean
This would be acceptable, right?
Andy Purcell
Like think about this. So it doesn't matter if you're 14 years old, if you got a job and you're paying taxes, you can vote if, if. But dude, people that are collecting and not contributing should not have a say.
Billy Jean
I agree.
Andy Purcell
Because they've created this state now where there's so many people dependent and they have such a voice that all they're going to do is vote in their own interest. Which by the way, that's not fair to people like you and me who, who sacrifice and invest a lot in our outcomes. So I give the example that's real. We, we should have to, there should be some limitations.
Billy Jean
100%. It's like, like, you know, if you ask your employees, hey, should you have 365 days off a year in some companies they'll be like, yeah, not considering, well how the are we going to make money? Like, like okay, yeah, let's, let's go do it and then, yeah, not, you know, so I, I don't know.
Andy Purcell
I also think a lot of people who, who have been, who've been championing this like oh, four day work week, two day work week, this, that, the other, they just themselves because now the shit's gonna happen and they're not gonna have jobs. Like there's no leverage. Here's the thing and this is the bad part, okay?
Billy Jean
I, I don't like far left employees.
Andy Purcell
They don't work. It doesn't matter. That's the thing. They yell and scream and talk about how they're gonna cancel you, but they can't because they don't have any money to buy anything. That's the facts, bro. That's what I've learned on this show. I've learned that on the show. I Can piss them off and say whatever the I want. And they can't do anything because they don't spend money and certainly don't spend money on health and fitness. They don't give a. Okay. So.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Hey, there's some buff far lefties. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Is there?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
The whole gay community.
Billy Jean
Them are jacked.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. But I don't think, I think most of the gay community are not far left anymore because they.
Billy Jean
That's actually this.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I think.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, that's the thing. Because the left has got like. That's the, that's what I was.
Andy Purcell
I'm talking about these. I'm talking about the. I'm not talking like, bro, there's a difference between Democrats and left. Leftists. I'm talking about the leftists for sure. Democrats.
Billy Jean
I like the general.
Andy Purcell
Democrats are reasonable people. They are people who have. And they do run businesses and they.
DJ Cruise
Are, they are productive. Yes, they do.
Billy Jean
Republicans. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But they also will listen and they will, they will say, okay, that makes sense. You know, I'm talking about the crazy.
Billy Jean
I did a drill in my company to give you. So we do a morning huddle up and every morning huddle up. I, I go on, zoom. Everybody goes around or in person, whatever the fuck, we're in the office. And I said after the election when it happened, because I have a lot of people who are left in my office and I have people write too. And I said, hey, we're going to do one drill today. Everyone's going to say what the positive is about Trump getting elected. I don't give a fuck how you feel. Because the second you lose your ability to be able to see the other side, you are the fucking problem.
Andy Purcell
That's right.
Billy Jean
Don't you. Don't you. Don't you get it twisted? You are same thing. It would have been the same the other way.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You know what I mean? Like, you have to be able to see.
Andy Purcell
So what would you. We say positive about Biden? What would you say? Positive. I know what I would say. Or you say first, though.
DJ Cruise
Oh, I like ice cream. I mean, I like that he likes ice cream.
Billy Jean
No, see, that's what they tried to.
Andy Purcell
Do on my head.
Billy Jean
I said, stop doing that. That's. I had to, I had to crack that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. I would say, well, he's so old he might die. That's a good thing.
Billy Jean
It's a hard drill. It's a hard drill. Like, it's good.
DJ Cruise
I mean, but that's the thing. Like, the window has shifted because, like, when you tie your identity to this.
Billy Jean
Notice, DJ did not do it. Notice he did not do it. He continued on and he did not do it.
DJ Cruise
I'll be honest, like, I'll be real with you, bro. I think, like, I have a different perspective on that. I think the amount of destruction that that man has done to this country. I mean, you talk about treasonous, bro. You talk about, like, not uniting. Like, Trump needs to do better on uniting. I'm with that 100%. Biden has intentionally divided this.
Andy Purcell
Yes. Not only that, bro. Intentionally weakened the country. Intentionally. And it's. And it's traceable through the funds that he's received over the number of years. That's why they pardoned everybody at the end. Like they were taking money. I don't know how much you know about this, but they were taking foreign influence money and pay for. Pay for play, meaning things like this. Before I say this. Allegedly. Okay, okay. But you know, Hunter Biden selling paintings for $50,000. 500. That.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Squirted some pain. Where's that coming from? Oh, excuse me.
Billy Jean
I did hear a lot about the Hunter Biden thing. I never knew it's coming.
Andy Purcell
It's coming from, you know, foreign buyers. And what are they getting in return, you know? And then you have, bro, Bro.
DJ Cruise
Hunter Biden was on a board for Bara, which is a Ukrainian gas company, oil and gas company. Okay. This was in 2014. Who was in office in 2014? Barack and Joe Biden. Yeah, Right. Hunter Biden magically got on this fucking billion dollar company board with zero experience, zero backing, simply because he was the son of the vice president of the United States. Biden goes over there, makes him fire a fucking prosecutor who was looking into that company, right? Ukraine fires that prosecutor, he gives him.
Andy Purcell
A billion dollars, and then he releases how much?
DJ Cruise
A billion dollars of United States aid to that country years later. Now, fast forward, right? Fast forward. What war has the United States been supporting by proxy for the last.
Billy Jean
Okay, let me. Let me ask you guys this, because let's say what you're saying is true.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Well, it is true.
DJ Cruise
No.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Okay, so let's say it happened. Where do you guys go? What. What amount of thought do you put to everything that we don't see and we'll never see because we're not in there. Right. Like in the meetings, Right? There's probably all kinds of stuff for public safety that's never shared, Right?
Andy Purcell
Is that right?
Billy Jean
I would imagine.
Andy Purcell
Well, no, I'm saying, is that morally right? Let me ask you this. You think it is?
Billy Jean
Let me Think we run our companies. I'm a transparent leader and so are you. But there's still some. That's like. Like a me and. Yeah, my cfo.
Andy Purcell
That might be true. But also, we're paying the employees. They're not paying us.
Billy Jean
It's a big difference. That's. That's too different.
DJ Cruise
All right, that's a big.
Billy Jean
That's fair. But also.
Andy Purcell
So if the employees were paying us to operate the company, would they not deserve the right to know what the was going on?
Billy Jean
Honestly, we just established how many stupid people there are. If I'm president, I'm definitely gonna lie to y' all about some shit. No mistake. Like 100. Like, there's some situations.
Andy Purcell
Billy, that's not why they're lying. Yeah, they're lying now for their own benefit. And that's the problem. Okay? It's not lying for. To protect you and me. Like, that's the excuse they use. So, like the Patriot Act. Like, let's take the. Do you know the Patriot act? Okay. So when 911 happened, they came out with the Patriot act, which allowed us to spy on foreign enemies. And all of us were like, yeah, let's get them. Because back then, dude, none of us really understood that there was an agenda at play that was not in our interest. We all believed America loves us, our government loves us. They protect us.
DJ Cruise
They gave us an enemy. We went after the end.
Andy Purcell
That's right. So. So naturally, you know, we're all on the same team.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
These guys throw a rock and it hits you in the face and we're like, kill him, right?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But what if that threw the rock was paid by him to start the. Because he had interest that were going to make him money.
Billy Jean
It happens a lot.
Andy Purcell
So. So, so, so now we're dealing with a situation where we've all figured out that these people are not operating with our interests in mind. So it's. And it's very apparent and trackable. So the Patriot act basically started this. The Patriot act was this act that said we can spy on people that are over in the Middle east, basically enemies of America. But then they created domestic terrorism. So now, now if you speak out.
Billy Jean
Or say something and they can spy on you stuff.
Andy Purcell
So they. And this is what Snowden did. Snowden came out. Edward Snowden came out and told this. And then they labeled him as a traitor when all he was said, you're so right.
Billy Jean
We're going to do it to you.
Andy Purcell
Yes, 100%.
DJ Cruise
All he said was, hey, listen, the government is recording everything that you say, every picture, every. Every phone call, every text message, but.
Billy Jean
Also too, like, I. I don't think any of that's new, right? Like, that's not new.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's new from. That's from the Patriot act, right?
DJ Cruise
I mean, it's new of like 2000. 2.
Billy Jean
2000, do we think so you don't think the government was looking at our shit before? You didn't see.
Andy Purcell
Well, they didn't have the technology, you know.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, it was. It didn't really exist. I mean, wiretapping was a thing, sure, but, like, I mean, even that, like, required court process. The difference is with the. With. With the Patriot, it doesn't require any of that.
Billy Jean
Like, to me, it sounds like, again, just. Just hearing, like, it. It feels like, you know, now we have the nil deals with college, but it's like they've been getting paid. You know what I mean? Like, they've been getting paid college players been getting paid to go somewhere. And so. But I get what you guys are saying as far as is, you know, weaponizing this to their benefit at some.
Andy Purcell
Well, here's. Here's the. The. We could sum it up by saying this. We pay them to look out for us, and when they stop looking out for us and start sending the money overseas to get it funneled back to their own pockets, which is how they go in making 175k a year and walk out worth $100 million.
Billy Jean
I agree.
Andy Purcell
Okay, that's a problem. And then when they.
Billy Jean
I do. Like, how.
Andy Purcell
Well, they escalate that, bro. So now what they do is now, for example, the. The like. Okay, you saw what happened in Afghanistan where they left all the equipment over there. All right, why do they do that? Well, they all own stock, and Raytheon and Lockheed and all these things. And then by getting involved in Ukraine, we don't have the equipment, so now they got to make more and their stock goes up. So it's all a big job for all of us while they tax you. You're in California, bro. You're getting raped. Okay, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. You're paying. You. You are paying over 50 of your income to the government.
Billy Jean
I. I cried.
Andy Purcell
Okay? Now if you pay over 50 of the. Of the. Your income to the government, what does that make you?
Billy Jean
A hoe?
Andy Purcell
No. What's it make you, bro?
Billy Jean
What?
Andy Purcell
It makes you a slave. You work more for the government than you do for you.
Billy Jean
I get it.
Andy Purcell
That's not okay. And that's not free.
Billy Jean
I definitely agree.
Andy Purcell
We're all the same. We are slave class, bro. We are slave class. We are just told we were free and we are not free. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Billy Jean
So I, I, I believe. And again, I'm, I'm hearing this right. Yeah, this is new. But I believe what you guys are saying. It makes sense. And like, okay, I just say to you two, do you have the same energy on the other side? Because to me, I think, I think.
Andy Purcell
I get yelled at by both.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I was gonna say because I think it's a political thing.
Andy Purcell
Like right now, right now I'm getting yelled at.
DJ Cruise
There is no writing like that.
Andy Purcell
That is, that's the government.
Billy Jean
Okay, cool.
DJ Cruise
Democrats doing it, bro. Like, no, they're all in the same.
Andy Purcell
So we listen, there's three, there's three categories of officials right now.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
There is Democrats, there is Republicans and these what we would call established Democrats. Established Republicans. And then there is non affiliated members of each party. Very few. There's a few Democrats that are not establishment Democrats, meaning they are in office to actually make change. On the Republican side, there's a few more. All right. The reason they hate Trump so much and the reason both sides hate him is because he is the least like that out of all the politicians. He's independently wealthy.
Billy Jean
I like Trump for that.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
Same page.
Andy Purcell
So he is a third, he represents a third unaffiliated class of political figure that isn't on the the take the way these other two are.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And now what's happened is we've had these establishment guys on the right and establishment people on the Rhett left try to weasel their way into this.
Billy Jean
He's our game up. We've had this thing running for hundreds of years. He's coming. He's our game up.
Andy Purcell
But now they've tried. Now they've, and they've infiltrated his. So now like these people are scavengers, dude. And basically what we have is a totally corrupt system that needs to be the real, the real talk is it needs to be wiped clean and started over.
Billy Jean
I agree. But I do think that a lot of this happens less from, well, I don't want to say less than agenda, but I do think it's just humans doing what they've done throughout history, which is put themselves first.
Andy Purcell
That's right.
Billy Jean
So like, you know, when Biden's doing his thing.
Andy Purcell
Well, what's the saying? He's doing this uncorrupted or unchecked?
DJ Cruise
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think that's. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And Billy, it's happened, it's happened for so long that it's just so infested with that. Like, I don't think it can be fixed. I think it has to be burnt the down.
DJ Cruise
Into it to it. It's just the way it is.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
You know what I'm saying? Like kids born into technology world now, like they don't know what the, you know, a letter is, how to write it. Like, no, it's. It's Instagram dms. Right. Like that's just how it is. You know, I think the political landscape, left or right again, Like, I don't look at it as a difference there. It's changed over the course of this country's history. Right. Like it used to be, you know, we were farmers, bro, and like, you know, there was a problem going on and we saw something that was going to affect our farms and our local communities. I'm going to go in office, I'm going to serve for this, you know, quick term. I'm going to vote on the shit that I said I was going to vote on. Fix the shit I said I was going to fix. I'm going back to my fucking form. These people are in office for 40 fucking years, bro.
Billy Jean
And I don't think that's healthy. Yeah.
DJ Cruise
Accomplish what? And then they come out, they, they over tax us. They spend 40 years in office, come out worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I mean, that's fix what and fix what? All they do is cause more to them.
Andy Purcell
No, you said it earlier. It's a fucking. It's a dance. It's a fake. It's fake. We're gonna fit. They have no intention of fixing.
DJ Cruise
Oh, bro. And then they come out on camera or act like they argue with each other and then go play golf and have dinner together.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
You know what I'm saying? Like it's.
Billy Jean
What do you think about that picture that went viral with Obama and Trump like laughing together?
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. No, trust me, dude, I, I get yelled at now because now I'm like, now I'm criticizing Trump and people are mad because I'm not just like mindlessly.
Billy Jean
Like, bro, it's okay to criticize your friends and people. It's o. Okay. It's okay. You're supposed to.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, bro. You have to look at objectively, man. It's like, is it, is it working or is it not?
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
What I think, you know, you mentioned purpose earlier. I do think people find purpose in being on a team. Right. That's why you kind of join a company or coach, etc, and so it makes them happy, that part of their identity. Yeah, that's right. Guys, arms around the lib tarts. Oh, you know, those far right fascists. Like, you know, it gives them.
Andy Purcell
And you can't fix anything like that.
Billy Jean
Yeah, you can't fix anything, but it makes them feel better.
Andy Purcell
Better.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I agree with Chase. Feelings instead of results.
Andy Purcell
Well, it's the same thing. It's, it's, it's, it's group think. It's, it's no different. It's, it's a, it's an, it's a very unhealthy way of being a fan. That's what it is. Like, I'm a Cardinals fan. I don't like the Cubs fans.
Billy Jean
Right.
DJ Cruise
Like, I'm a city guy.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. I'm a four guy. Right, right.
Billy Jean
Yeah, that's true.
Andy Purcell
It's the same. And we're all, we're all conditioned to doing that. That in different areas of our life. But when it comes to politics, it's very unhealthy because we can't solve anything.
DJ Cruise
And the other thing is too, I'll say this, like, I don't believe that, like, all politicians go into office with that nefarious, like, no, they get sucked in. They, they get in, they see how the game is played and then they're left no options.
Andy Purcell
Like, or they get blackmailed to go along.
DJ Cruise
People really know what, like how politics, these committee seats work, bro. Like, you know, imagine like we talked.
Billy Jean
About business in the beginning.
DJ Cruise
It's relationships and like, everybody's playing the game. You have no choice, right? Like, like, if people really knew how the. Like, for example, let's look at the city, the Senate committee, real quick, right? Let's say you're a new senator. You just got elected, you raised two, three million dollars from your constituents. They voted you in. You won your election. You're in now, right?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
And you want to go sit on the, the Senate Appropriations Committee, right? Well, those seats, each one of those seats, they cost, they cost you. Like, you have to pay to be on that panel.
Andy Purcell
So your pack pays, right?
DJ Cruise
And so. Okay, well, depending on the committee, those seats can go anywhere from 500 grand to a million bucks. Well, fuck, you just raised 2 million and you spent it on your campaign. You don't have money. Here's this lobby that comes in. Oh, okay. Billy, you want to get on that seat? We'll pay for your seat there. No problem. Just make sure when this vote comes up, up you vote for this.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Classic.
DJ Cruise
And so, like, there's a, Like. Like, dude, there's a bunch of problems in government that needs to be addressed. Term limits lobbying, guys.
Billy Jean
This is. This is literally why, though, like, just with anything is I'm so big on just investing in my personal brand for the last decade and, like, Right. I need. I need, you know, if I want.
Andy Purcell
The only way to be free, my own money.
Billy Jean
You want to have your own voice. You want to have your own direct line with people. Like, it's. It's.
Andy Purcell
Dude, it's what I say. It's what we say here all the time, dude. Personal excellence, ultimate rebellion. If you. If you. You. If you create your. Your individual self into an uncontrollable human, you're gonna win and you'll be free. The free as you can be.
Billy Jean
Right.
Andy Purcell
You know?
Billy Jean
Right?
Andy Purcell
If you're. They want you fat, you got to be fit, they want you broke, you got to make money. They want you to hate the. The thing that you aren't. You got to get along with those people. Yeah, right. They. You got to do everything opposite of what they tell you because everything they tell you is for their benefit.
Billy Jean
You said, that's good because we all need to be better at that. Yeah, that's good.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, dude, it's real. And that's why they don't come out and say the. That we're like, why aren't they saying this? Why don't they come out and say, hey, black people and white people, you're all a bunch of idiots. Get along. Like, why the. That's not hard. Like, that's. It's real easy.
Billy Jean
No one says that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
And the thing is, though, like. But again, going back to reality, bro, like, I remember even in the height, like, you had the George Floyd, like, even in the height of it, bro, me and Andy were going across the country doing these talks, speaking to people, meeting people. Real world, bro. The didn't exist like that. Like, I didn't. We didn't walk down the street and, like, it was like, in the real world. Well, it's all. Does not exist.
Billy Jean
I wouldn't say it doesn't exist. I would say that's a little dude. But I get what you're saying.
DJ Cruise
You watch cnn, you watch fox, you think it's.
Billy Jean
Now that doesn't exist. You think it's CNN and Fox do. Is a small window that they blow up that is everywhere.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, well, I think there's racism on both sides.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, there's for sure. I mean, there's no doubt, bro. It's openly acceptable to hate white people. Openly.
Billy Jean
I will, I will agree with you on that.
Andy Purcell
And that's, you know, like, that's where I get pissed off on the race, the race conversation. Because it's like, bro, you're gonna call me a racist for breathing the air because I exist when it's okay to legitimately hate white people out in the open.
Billy Jean
I, I agree. Yeah. And like, I agree on that point.
Andy Purcell
It's all. It's wrong no matter what.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know, and I'm, I'm just, I'm tired of that. Like, bro, off. Like, I got stabbed in the face for that. Cause, like, I'm not gonna hear it, you know.
Billy Jean
Yeah. I would say, yeah, I'm with you a thousand percent. Is. And there's this weird time where.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
You know, like, I, I, I, I with the jokes of, like, yo, like, it's hard out here as a white man right now with, you know, how much this. But also, too, I do think there is this weird conversation right now on the white side that racism, like, it doesn't exist. That, that one pisses me off.
Andy Purcell
And so I think what, I think what they're saying, bro, I think, think I. I could tell you what I think that means, like, people having a tendency to speak in absolutes.
Billy Jean
Right.
Andy Purcell
What, what when, when people say that, I don't believe, like, because I've said that before, it doesn't exist. But I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying it doesn't exist the way that we're saying it exists.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Right. Like, I don't get invited to the clan barbecues, you know.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like, bro, I've been a white guy my whole. I've been a white guy my whole life. Life, bro. And I, I'm a very outspoken. I've never met one of these. Like, I've never seen a dude walking around a pointy hat. Like.
Billy Jean
Yeah. I've never think the easiest way of where it's at now. How I try and explain to people is I don't think it's the old school clan ship for the most part. Right. You have idiots out there. Very rare. I think it's mostly just we have our biases. So, for example, take race out of it for a second. You know, me and you vibe. We both played sports, we run businesses, we believe in hard work. We share a lot of commonality and values, sense of humor, laughing the same stupid. If somebody comes along and they're different than us, we're probably gonna have a slight favor racism towards us. And I think that is what. But that modern day racism is.
Andy Purcell
I actually just. We have bias, but that's what we're comfortable. Yeah, but brother, that's not actually racism. That's just biases towards.
Billy Jean
But where it becomes, where it becomes racism or could feel like that to people, as if me and you look the same and there was a hundred more people that look the same like that. Now we still shared that it's going to feel like racism.
Andy Purcell
What do you mean?
Billy Jean
You know what I mean? So what I'm, what I'm saying is essentially so going back to we share those, those common values. If we're 100 white guys all sharing those common values and then everybody else who's not like us is all black, you're not going to be like, I don't like you because you're not black. But it doesn't change the fact it's still 100 white people saying it against 100 black people. Does that make sense?
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's tribalism. I mean it's.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But brother, that's, that's, that's not that that exists amongst every culture. 100.
Billy Jean
And that's what I think the racism is being solved. Okay.
Andy Purcell
So I don't disagree with, with that. But where I get pissed off is because for 20, for my whole life, okay, I've been told. And it's progressively gotten worse.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
That now it's to the point where. And it's getting better now. Now people are like, dude, this is stupid. So. But there was a point a few years ago where if you were white, you were racist by default. You just don't know. Yeah.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And it's like, bro, I'm not a fan of that. I'm not hearing this.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know, and, and like, dude, dude, you know this thing of like, I'm responsible for what happened 400 fucking years ago. My family wasn't even here. And by the way, I'm Sicilian, which means our people were conquered by black people and raped. My blood is part fucking African because of it. So like, when we really break this down, it's just a stupid fucking argument. And the reality of it is is that we can't control what happened. We can control what happens now. And what with that, with that, because.
Billy Jean
I, because I, I'm with you on the same page. So what is your guys's feelings on the conversation around privilege?
DJ Cruise
I don't think, I don't Think. I think there's American privilege, bro. And I think we're all. We're all greedy. I. I have a hard time, like, buying into that. That there is, like, there's this privilege, like, and he's not where he's at because he's privileged. And he's where he's at because for the last 26 years, he's worked his ass off. If I do the exact same thing that dude did for the next 26 years, there's a good chance I'm gonna be exactly where he's at or successful.
Andy Purcell
Or even very least.
DJ Cruise
Right?
Billy Jean
Like.
DJ Cruise
Like.
Andy Purcell
I mean, there's. There's.
Billy Jean
So you dj, this. This is interesting. So you don't think privilege exists?
DJ Cruise
I don't know. Absolutely not. I think there's. I think we have American privilege. I think we're. Well, how.
Billy Jean
Okay, so what's American privilege?
DJ Cruise
I think we're the most privileged people. Because shit's too good. We don't. Like, we.
Andy Purcell
We make up problems.
Billy Jean
So if you believe in American privilege, then you kind of by default believe in white privilege. Because if you realize.
Andy Purcell
Well, hold on, there's different. There's different perspectives here.
Billy Jean
Like.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, like, because there's also. There's black privilege.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I agree.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
So let me. Let me go. So, like, you know, if there's American privilege, then when people talk about white privilege, you have to understand that's real. Because you're saying in America, we have it too.
Andy Purcell
Good.
Billy Jean
We all agree with that. Right? We've seen some other countries and how we're living like clean water. We get the. That also, too. If you were white and you were allowed. Your grandparents were allowed to own land and own property and pass it down. That's privilege. And by the way, it's not a bad thing, which I want to get to a second. But it exists.
DJ Cruise
Like my wife. My wife. I. I have a black wife. Yeah, right. Okay. You ain't gotta, you know, feel sorry for me.
Billy Jean
Nothing.
DJ Cruise
Her family. Her family has like 500 acres down in Arkansas that, like, was been passed.
Billy Jean
You're not going to talk about a unicorn and talk about the mess, right?
DJ Cruise
Like, but that's most. There's. There's a lot of black owners that own property down south. Like, you know what I'm saying? So, like, you know.
Billy Jean
Well, hold on, hold on. But like, just the. The fact of that, because we like facts and real. It's like the pers. You're talking about, like a good. What, like black people were not allowed to own property for so Long. Like, this is just.
Andy Purcell
Hold on, hold on, hold on. There's everywhere. We weren't even allowed vote. Like, really, guys, that's not untrue. But there's also been a lot more white people here than black people the entire time it's existed.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah. But like, also. But so, okay, let's just start, like, just so we're all on the same page, because we, we're all pretty much agreeing. Except for this topic I'm acknowledging. Let me, let me rephrase it. Take my daughter. We can all agree my baby is privileged as a. She got Rolodex. She'll grow up and have property. She'll have down payment.
Andy Purcell
She'll have education.
Billy Jean
She'll have.
Andy Purcell
Why is that, all of that?
Billy Jean
Because of her dad's hard work. Right.
DJ Cruise
So why didn't white privilege stop you?
Billy Jean
And so I didn't say. See, now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say white privilege stopped me. I didn't say anything else besides the fact we're going to acknowledge that it exists. If you.
Andy Purcell
Because here's. I think privilege exists, but I don't think it's exclusively to white people.
Billy Jean
Correct, correct. But just white privilege just happens to have a lot more advantages than some of the other ones. That's all. But I agree with you. There's privilege in all different types. But for example is if we weren't allowed. If our grandparents or, you know, great, whatever gap were allowed to own land, own property, go to good schools, had other grandparents who were attorneys, doctors, etc, would they not have a massive advantage?
DJ Cruise
No, because.
Billy Jean
Okay, that just. Okay, that went.
Andy Purcell
Lying.
Billy Jean
What are you talking about? Literally, that's just like math. What do you mean?
Andy Purcell
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Billy Jean
Let me just finish the last thing. So my daughter is. Has all the things that we just talked about and we acknowledge she has privilege. So how can you not acknowledge that there's white privilege?
Andy Purcell
I don't know.
DJ Cruise
Let me, let me say this, Bill, because the thing is, the thing is.
Billy Jean
I have to get black.
DJ Cruise
You can give somebody. You can give somebody all the. In the world. They still have to do it, I guarantee.
Billy Jean
Yes, I agree.
DJ Cruise
So. So even though, like, I have two daughters, right. I'm setting them up for success.
Billy Jean
I agree.
DJ Cruise
That's not a guarantee they're going to make it.
Billy Jean
I agree.
DJ Cruise
Right. There is still a lot of white people who have those same advantages. They're still white.
Billy Jean
I agree.
DJ Cruise
They're still. There's more poor white people.
Billy Jean
It just doesn't change the Fact that it exists. I. I agree with you. You still have to do more. It doesn't take away, like, my daughter's still gonna have to work her ass off. I get it.
DJ Cruise
Most people, white or black, that are successful came from, like, hard work is hard work. You can't outbeat that. My question is.
Andy Purcell
Everything you just said.
Billy Jean
My question is we have to acknowledge that there is white privilege.
Andy Purcell
Acknowledging there's black privilege too, bro.
Billy Jean
What's black privilege?
DJ Cruise
What does it change?
Andy Purcell
Black privilege is what does it change?
DJ Cruise
Acknowledging that white privilege exists, what does it change?
Billy Jean
Empathy. So what? Let me explain it to you. What does it change? Let me explain it to you. If a kid was here, I'm just gonna. I hate to random country. And they're here and they grew up without running water, without electricity, without education, etc. All three of us, and they came here in this room today, and they're around us. All three of us would be a little bit more empathetic. We would be more open. We would see how we could help. We would pour into them. If somebody just down the street came through and was like, yo, guys, Billie Jean, Andy for Sil. I mean, we're a little less empathetic. Like, it's just. It's built in us. It's empathy. Empathy is the difference. And that's why acknowledging things is important. At the same time, it's not a hall pass. Now, don't no one get this much as confused that this is a green light to be a victim.
Andy Purcell
Well, it's been presented that way. Okay. And it's been.
Billy Jean
I agree.
Andy Purcell
It's been hung out in front of my face entire life. Like, discounting the price I have paid to get where I'm at. Do you know when people tell me that I'm where I'm at because I got some sort of privilege, I want to choke them for sure. Because I can promise you every single one of those that said that that could not walk a day in my shoes, none of them. Okay, So I.
Billy Jean
But do you agree that.
Andy Purcell
Because. Hold on. Also on top of that, I have been having to deal with that my entire life, being told that I have it easier when I've almost blown my brains out a thousand times to get where I'm at. On top of that, I can't point simple things out otherwise I'm racist. Such as that 6% of the men in this country create 50 plus percent of the violent crime. That is a statistical fact. That does not make you a racist for pointing it out. Okay. Because if we do not acknowledge that. How can we solve the problem? The actual racism exists in ignoring that and pretending that it doesn't exist. Because the reality is, is if you actually gave a. About black people in this country, you would be able to say, this is a problem. We need to fix this problem. We wouldn't say, oh, that's not actually true. You're a racist. Okay, so I actually have to be.
Billy Jean
There needs to be truth.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
And also too, you like, I mean, since we met, like, you grew up, like, I. Let me just say, I think it's wrong for people to do that to you.
Andy Purcell
Well, no, hold on. There's more. There's more to this. There's more to this, too.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. We can open in this country. It is acceptable, and it has been acceptable my entire life to hate white people in the open. There has always existed. Black entertainment television. There has always existed. The black Grammys. There has always existed. All these things that segregate society, but.
Billy Jean
We didn't get invited to those, which is why they were there.
Andy Purcell
Maybe. I don't know. It didn't happen in my lifetime. I'm not concerned with what happened before I was here. Well, that's all I can.
Billy Jean
Why people are mad.
Andy Purcell
All I can control. All I can control is how I behave and how I behave. I have. I have Syed, who is Indian. I have Madot, who is Bosnian. I have dj, who is black. I've got Billy, who is black. To me, you are just my friends.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And I don't give a how black you are or Indian you are. In fact, I'm gonna make fun of you about it because you're gonna make fun of me about it. Okay. That's what friends do. So, like, there is multiple sides to this equation. And at the end of the day, I don't think that you're making an accurate point, but what I do think is that it's been hung out in front of society, and I think it's enabled and created a culture amongst certain groups of people, both white and black and Asian. A victim class. And we're telling them that the reason that you can't succeed is because of something that happened 200 years ago. Yes. And you. And you are examples of that not being true. That is not true. You drive a Rolls Royce just like I drive one. Okay.
Billy Jean
Hey, but you have more cars than me.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's because. That's because of privilege. So. But my point is. My point is, is that we can argue these things.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
But at the end of the day, Bro, we as grown men have an obligation to put an end to the division and the divisive shit.
Billy Jean
So I agree with you and what you just said.
Andy Purcell
I don't think you. I don't think. I don't think that you're wrong in what you're saying. But we can't generalize all white people in that because, like, for example, my family came to the United States in the twenties and they were extremely poor. They were bricklayers, okay? And they. My dad grew up in a family of fucking 12. And when they starved when they were kids, they were starving, they collected rainwater to drink it, okay? Our generation and my family went from very poor to not as poor to a little bit better to where now I've been presented with an opportunity. And while I wasn't given any money, I was blessed with a father that cared about me, that taught me a lot of valuable lessons. And so that's could be considered privilege, which is why I give so much back. That's why I teach what I know, because I know that not everybody out there had a dad like I had or a mom like I had that was willing to teach me things. So there's going to be privileges in different areas, no matter who you are. And I just don't feel like. I think. I feel like we were at a point in time in culture where we really need to understand that no matter what's happened, there is good people and there's bad people. And no matter what's happened, all we can control is what we do now and do the best that we can. And. And that's. That's how I've always felt like, dude, when I think of, like, American heroes, bro. And I know a lot of people say that Martin Luther King was a communist and all this. I don't give a. His message was right, right. Content of character, okay? And discrimination or special standards. We live in a meritocracy. And until that changes, it is what it is. Everybody should be treated with respect. Everybody should be having. And here's what I will say. Yeah, there is a problem with the black communities. But the. But the problem is not white people doing it. But here's the problem. The problem is the fucking Democrats that they voted for for 60 years come in every four years and say, guy Billy, we're gonna fix your people. We're gonna fix your neighborhood. We're gonna get you money for schools and infrastructure and this and that and this. And then they don't do any of it. They go and they take the money. And these are not just white people. This isn't people on the right. This is the people they're voting for. And this is black people doing it to their own people. So they vote for black people. The black people go to Washington, they figure out how to steal the money and over their own people. So how is that my fucking fault? Right? How. How is it my fault?
Billy Jean
So hold on.
Andy Purcell
How is it my fault that I could say, hey, here's the. I'm a business guy, you're a data guy, right? Like we look at data all.
Billy Jean
Yeah, we do.
Andy Purcell
Okay, here, here's what I got to solve. We have 6% of the population committing 52% of the crime. And most of that crime is done amongst their own people in their own neighborhood. How do we fix that?
Billy Jean
Yeah, but we also look at history and the why.
Andy Purcell
The first, the first way that we fix that, if we actually care about those people, which we should, because they're all Americans. And that's the principle of America now. It's. It's what America's been founded on.
Billy Jean
But.
Andy Purcell
Right.
Billy Jean
It was like on slavery.
Andy Purcell
Well, like it was founded on a set of principles.
Billy Jean
And for certain people, well, like, you know, I mean, that's the. So because we're on the same page. Because I want to just.
Andy Purcell
First, I can't control what they did 100. I control what we did do.
Billy Jean
And you do a good job of that.
Andy Purcell
But what I'm saying is, is we have to acknowledge what the problems are and allow them to be addressed and solved and not called racist because we acknowledge them.
Billy Jean
I agree with that.
Andy Purcell
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Cruise
Like, that's, that's my piece on it too, bro. It's like, you know my upbringing, bro.
Andy Purcell
Right?
DJ Cruise
Like where I grew up. The worst area you could possibly grow up. Okay, The. I'm talking about the worst area in St. Louis. All right? I saw my first dead body at 9 years old taking out the trash. Bro, Bro. Okay. Bad. My dad was out of my life.
Andy Purcell
You seen Boys in the Hood?
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You know Doughboy? It was based on him.
DJ Cruise
Never said that.
Billy Jean
Hey, good ass movie though, Ricky, bro.
DJ Cruise
It's one best ever single parent household, right? My mom's white. Okay. You don't. If, if white privilege, like my, my thing is on this, like the white privilege part, bro. If it did exist. If it does exist, like we say it does, where the was, I would have loved to have.
Billy Jean
Guess what? You missed out on white privilege.
Andy Purcell
Hold on, bro, let me ask you this. So if we're gonna say, if we're going to say that, then couldn't I say because I'm Sicilian and American Indian, couldn't I say, my people were treated terrible. My people were conquered by the Moors. So listen, I mean, so where's it stop? There's. Now we go. Let's go to the Irish people. Irish people were literally held in slavery.
Billy Jean
Those things were. Were, were bad too, right?
Andy Purcell
They're all bad.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, that's my point for sure. They're all bad. But we're talking about America specifically here, right? So let's just a couple things. Number one, you are correct. I agree that it is that people discredit not just you, but any race and their hard work and dedication and almost like villainizing people for how they were born, you know, because that's ridiculous. And I think that you do have a right to be mad about that. Like, that's.
Andy Purcell
Well, after 40 years, it gets annoying.
Billy Jean
Yeah, well, especially. And then you probably have even more because you're like, what are you talking about? Like, I've had black friends my whole life. Like, I played sport. Like, I don't like you. Like, for you, like, it's like, like, this is stupid. What are you doing that. So that is validated as to be angry.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Like, you are like, hey, well, I'm not really angry. It's just like, yeah, it's stupid. It's like, man, like, like, what else can I do? You're like, you're like, I get money like that. Like, literally, what else can I do? Right? You're like, I have free podcasts. I help everybody.
Andy Purcell
Like, I do what I can.
Billy Jean
Like, the. The world is better because of your impact. You can't deny that.
Andy Purcell
That's just the facts.
Billy Jean
But it is. It is. Like, that's real talk. I'm not saying.
Andy Purcell
I know that.
Billy Jean
Yeah. And you are saying, like, yo, there's this whole story about white privilege, but I had to live in the shittiest place ever. D d My mom's white. Like, ironically, there's this big thing where.
DJ Cruise
The was it family, like, raised me as white. So, like, where.
Billy Jean
Where.
DJ Cruise
Where none of them had it also.
Andy Purcell
Well, who are we talking about here? Yeah, like, are we talking about, like, hold on, on. Are we talking about, like, Anderson Cooper who grew up as a Vanderbilt in the Vanderbilt Mansion and his property was passed down. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That's white privilege.
Billy Jean
That's what I'm like, 100.
DJ Cruise
But, like, that's such a small percentage.
Billy Jean
I think it's I think it's just a. It's a, it's a big deal, but I think it's a.
Andy Purcell
Because that's, that's, that's. That fits in the framework of the example that you're providing.
DJ Cruise
Yes.
Andy Purcell
Which is 200 years ago their family passed down and he's had privilege because of it. And clearly he's had it because he's.
Billy Jean
I think what's ridiculous if is did you have it? Did you have it? Did you have it? But the absolute was we didn't have it. But most people don't have it. But no, like, no, no, no, like, but we weren't even allowed to have it. It's just like I'm not my only point. First of all, even if you don't, what I'm saying, I believe to be true, it doesn't change the fact that anybody has an excuse to not be successful in present day, today. Now I'm also going to acknowledge that it is harder for some people, but guess what? But still not a excuse. It's your deck of cards. Play a accordingly. And it is what?
Andy Purcell
Well, that's reality.
Billy Jean
That's reality. And I think that's.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's what we talk about. You and I talked about that for decades. Here's the reality. For some it's going to be harder. Yeah, that's, that's it.
Billy Jean
So now move forward. And now move forward. So all on the same page there. And you're right.
Andy Purcell
No, I mean that's a, that's a fair.
Billy Jean
That's being lost.
Andy Purcell
Well, what you said is a fair point. Okay. And I would like to acknowledge that because you didn't have it. That's fair.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. Some white people had it, but most white people also didn't have it. All right?
DJ Cruise
So I feel like that's my thing. It's like we're talking about.
Billy Jean
But also.
Andy Purcell
But I don't know that.
Billy Jean
Let me just like one other point too. Is like the, the biggest advantage that someone can have generationally, as we know here is here. It's not the possessions, etc. And honestly, knowledge takes generations to pass sometimes. So when. And our generation starts here and we weren't allowed to read then, we weren't allowed to get property, and now we're not. And now you have this group of people who at times it feels like you're saying, hey, why don't you guys just get your shit together? And it's like, we're trying to catch up, motherfucker.
DJ Cruise
But everybody.
Billy Jean
Because it takes a generation to pass down. So all. If you look at the stats for black people, it is getting better. It's getting better for everybody. But while that gap. And that's why you have movements like affirmative action, et cetera, it's to help accelerate from the deceleration.
Andy Purcell
Okay, let me ask you this, right?
Billy Jean
Like, okay, that's how these things came about. I'm not saying it should or not, but that's how it came about.
DJ Cruise
Let me ask you, Let me say this real quick, because I think this is important, right? Like, I look at it like this. Again, I have two dogs, See, I.
Andy Purcell
Look at it like this. How many white people who were qualified for jobs were fired or not given jobs to an unqualified person of color? Is that not racism?
Billy Jean
Watch this now. They may have.
Andy Purcell
Hold on. Is that not racism?
Billy Jean
I think maybe, yeah, I think one could argue. But also, especially one. Let's just say they're both qualified and that still would be racist if you're doing it. However, it was a, it was an effort to try and accelerate, right? Like, not like good or bad. It's like there's pros and cons to all of this, right? And, and so I think it's a hard issue, period. Because, look, if I'm born today and I'm white, I'm saying, suck my dick. I'm not giving you money for what happened a long time ago because I don't give a fuck. I got bills to pay and life is hard. That's, that's that. I, I understand that also, too. In the same breath, you can't be mad or. Let me, let me rephrase it like this. If that is the attitude or energy that's going to be put out about it, how can you also expect people to be empathetic to your cost? Well, like, whatever that may be. Well, generally speaking.
Andy Purcell
Right, okay, so there's the opposite of that, too. So if you're told that you're racist because of the color of your skin, and if you're told that you don't get opportunities because other people who may be equally as qualified or less qualified get them instead, how does that solve the racial problem? Because we know what that does. That makes the people who are getting hate the other people. Yeah, for sure. I mean, look, you can, you can.
Billy Jean
You can understand everybody's like, anger in the situation, but I mean, going back.
Andy Purcell
To winter, you can't solve racism with more racism.
Billy Jean
Yeah, but, bro, I, I don't know. I don't know if necessarily like, like put it this way. Are we racist? If, if there's a. I, I don't know, like, let's, let's call it bias. Let's say that there's. We're in a race and there's somebody with one leg and we gave them a wheel. Are we. But now they can beat us in the race.
DJ Cruise
No, we call it.
Billy Jean
But now we can.
DJ Cruise
Olympics. We don't race together. It's a different thing.
Billy Jean
Yeah, that was called segregation.
Andy Purcell
I get it. Right.
Billy Jean
That's my point.
DJ Cruise
Listen, it has its place sometimes, you know what I'm saying?
Billy Jean
That's why he called you Uncle Tom.
Andy Purcell
Okay, so where's that, where's the expiration on that?
Billy Jean
So going now, that's a fair question. I want to get to that because that's, that's a good ass point. But yeah, like, if someone had a.
Andy Purcell
Will, we gave them a will.
Billy Jean
We're not going to all like, oh, we're racist now, D. Because they have a chance, but they can't beat us because they got a will now. And so now things competitive, we got to step up our games to get ours, but we also know there's enough for everybody to eat, so there's that. Now the expiration, that's a hard part, right? Because it's like, how far back in time do we get now, mind you, this is not long.
Andy Purcell
Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something. Hold on, let me ask.
Billy Jean
Wasn't allowed to, like, not a far away thing.
Andy Purcell
So.
Billy Jean
So, so did our family history.
Andy Purcell
So. So we're Italians, so we're Irish. Okay?
Billy Jean
I mean, look, there's other race that get benefits, get paid big money.
Andy Purcell
Every. Hold on, Stop. Every culture that exists at some point in time was held in slavery, bondage, every one of them.
Billy Jean
Correct. But because Americans were dealing with American history.
Andy Purcell
So. So if America was founded on. Founded on the ideals that all men were created equal and they weren't back then. Hold on, hold on. Let me make a point.
Billy Jean
All right, all right.
Andy Purcell
We got to the point where. Civil war, okay? In the Civil War, do you know who died. Who, who died the most to free the slaves? Probably white people, right, bro? My. My house.
Billy Jean
You don't get a cookie for that.
Andy Purcell
Hold on.
DJ Cruise
You know who was fighting to keep them, though? It was a lot of black people, too.
Andy Purcell
Not only that. Hold on. Wait, I'll make a point. I live. When you come to my. You haven't been to my house.
Billy Jean
Yeah, we'll go after.
Andy Purcell
We're going to go after where I live. Ulysses S. Grant Used to have a house there. Okay. Ulysses S. Grant was White. He was 18th president of the United States. The reason that he became president of the United States was because during the Civil War, he was literally one of the generals who went to the fucking plantations and killed the slave owners himself and freed the slaves. All right? And he started the party called the Radical Republicans. Okay. The Republican Party has been anti slavery and anti segregation forever.
Billy Jean
Okay.
Andy Purcell
All right. That was the whole premise of the party when, when this happened in the Civil War and hundreds of thousands of. How many people died in the Civil War?
DJ Cruise
No shit, Ton.
Andy Purcell
Look it up. You got a computer.
DJ Cruise
Millions.
Andy Purcell
And they were mostly white. Okay, where does that, where, where do we forget about that? That that happened?
Billy Jean
No, it just doesn't change the fact that it's still. Once the Civil War ended, it wasn't like racism ended or that, like, racism will never end. Well, it wasn't like things were equal.
DJ Cruise
620, 000.
Andy Purcell
Okay. 620, 000. Mostly white people. People that is never talked about. It's never acknowledged. It's never, it's, I think it's acknowledged.
Billy Jean
Like, I mean, acknowledged. Like. Yeah, I, I, I think that's, you.
Andy Purcell
Might acknowledge it, but it's not, I.
Billy Jean
Mean, that's a good point.
Andy Purcell
But my point. So this leads into the question I ask of what the expiration date is and where, where the.
Billy Jean
Okay, so I asked you this question of how long do you think since that Civil War ended, things became equal? When did it become equal?
Andy Purcell
I don't think things are equal.
Billy Jean
Okay. All right, then that's pretty jealousy, bro.
Andy Purcell
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You didn't let me finish what I'm saying. You didn't finish what I'm saying, but like, super unequal. No, no, no. Things aren't equal. They're never going to be equal ever for anybody, ever. There. I have a lot of white friends who were, who came in way better situations. I have a lot of white friends that I was born into a better situation. Yeah. Same for you.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Do you have black friends that were born better?
Billy Jean
Yeah, absolutely.
Andy Purcell
Do you have black friends that were born worse?
Billy Jean
Absolutely.
Andy Purcell
Okay. So the idea, the whole idea that there will ever be equal outcome is not real.
Billy Jean
Okay, I agree. But we're going to try to make things fair.
Andy Purcell
Okay.
Billy Jean
What we do as a leader.
Andy Purcell
Okay.
Billy Jean
Like, I agree with that. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
That's what we should. We. There should. We should be fair.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah. And fair.
Andy Purcell
Hold on. Is it fair to say in that 20, 25. Okay. That we do not have a much better system than we had in 1776.
Billy Jean
I completely disagree.
Andy Purcell
You don't think I was a.
Billy Jean
You would own me right now.
Andy Purcell
I wouldn't even be allowed to talk. I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying in 2025, are we not better, more equal now?
Billy Jean
What?
Andy Purcell
No. Yeah, dude, no shit.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
You think I'm retarded, bro? What? No.
Billy Jean
Expect that from DJ.
Andy Purcell
But, yeah, no, I'm saying in 2020. Okay? My. The bottom line of what I'm trying to get at is this. At the end of the day, personal responsibility drives outcome.
Billy Jean
I agree with that.
Andy Purcell
Okay? And. And if we continue to tear open this wound of how unfair it has been, we are victimizing the people today to believe that they cannot be successful. This is a big problem that happens in our schools right now. Little white kids are told you're racist because you're white, and little black kids are told you can't do because you're black. What does that do to them over the course of their life?
Billy Jean
I think that probably happens more at home than Maybe.
Andy Purcell
But.
Billy Jean
No, I get what you're saying.
Andy Purcell
That's what. Either.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I think otherwise, we're on the same page. I disagree with that message.
DJ Cruise
I want to say this. That's my whole piece, right? Like, I look at the, like, the equation for success, right? To me, like, do you think it's right?
Andy Purcell
Go ahead.
DJ Cruise
Let me say that. Because I've been around Andy for five, going on six years, I, I, I understand the equation for success, right? And for me and what my family is trying to do, I'm trying to break generational curses. You call all of that, for me, white privilege, black privilege, any of that stuff. It does not go into the equation.
Andy Purcell
Period, at this point in time, at.
DJ Cruise
This point, become successful at this. Because here's the thing. Success does not give a what color you are, where you came from, how hard it was. It doesn't. That's not in that equation.
Andy Purcell
It's not.
DJ Cruise
Look, and so for my daughter, right? Like, I want my daughter to be successful. I want her to be successful. School.
Andy Purcell
Let's.
DJ Cruise
Am I gonna go to my daughter and tell her, hey, babe, listen. Like, you know, she's in private school. Yeah, she goes to private school. Mom, stay at home, wife, right? Like, like, she's, she's good.
Billy Jean
But.
DJ Cruise
But guess what, babe. That. That white privilege that's out there, it's gonna hold you back no matter how hard you try.
Billy Jean
Like, it comes in this. Like, because I think we all agree There. Like, I tell my daughter, let me.
Andy Purcell
Give you a very.
Billy Jean
Let me go one, and then I'll come back in that. No one believes it more than that than me. Like, I. I hate a victim story. Like, I hate the. Like. Like. Like I'm. I. I don't believe in any of that. Like, success is there, like, no excuses. That's what I believe in. I think it comes down to now that I'm giving, right? In a position to give. Thank God. I acknowledge that I worked my ass up for it. I also acknowledge luck, that there were some things I was born into with my privilege that I got into. Now, I had a choice.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's what I said. I said privilege exists. It's not just right. But.
Billy Jean
But I have a choice. I can go. I can donate my million bucks for my. My Boys and Girls club to wherever I want. So I could have done it in, like, Scripps Ranch and Carlsbad, right? Like, where it's the really nice, predominantly white, happens to be predominantly white areas. Or I could do it in southeast San Diego where it is minority primarily, etc. I chose to go there not because I'm racist, because that group needs to be.
Andy Purcell
That's the need.
Billy Jean
Yeah, that's the need.
Andy Purcell
That's the need.
Billy Jean
Correct.
DJ Cruise
And that.
Billy Jean
And so I just don't.
Andy Purcell
That's okay. Now, now, it doesn't make you racist. I don't. No, no, listen, listen.
Billy Jean
100%. This is where I. I want more conversation or I think, you know, sometimes.
Andy Purcell
This is a great. This is great.
Billy Jean
It's a great conversation for sure. But I. I just. Like. I like what you said is because that's the need. And I think sometimes groups feel like people don't think there's a need. And there is a need.
Andy Purcell
Oh, you're saying, like, they pretend like it's not real.
Billy Jean
Yeah, exactly.
Andy Purcell
Well, all you got to do is like. But see, here's the thing. So there is a double standard, though, there. All right? Because. Yes. You go down in downtown St. Louis, bro. I mean, there's a need.
DJ Cruise
I can show you some knees.
Andy Purcell
I'll show you. But. But I will also take you 20 minutes out this way, and we will go to the trailer parks, and you will tell me it does not look any different. It's just. It's just the color of the people.
Billy Jean
And listen, and that's. And that's why it's like, look, we need. We need help on all sides. Yeah, right. But it just.
Andy Purcell
I just don't think at some point in Time for us.
Billy Jean
Okay, well, that's going away because everybody's each other. There's not going to be white kids anyway.
Andy Purcell
That's a whole different conversation.
Billy Jean
Look the same.
Andy Purcell
Anyway, that's a whole different conversation because that is engineered intentionally to eliminate. Here's the reality, dude. There's.
Billy Jean
Nobody's going to be mixed.
Andy Purcell
That's real. That's real. But here's another thing. White people, okay, can you say you're proud to be black?
Billy Jean
Yeah. You can say you're proud to be white, too.
Andy Purcell
No, I can't. No, I, I can. You can't say white power. Well, first of all, it's not.
Billy Jean
It's.
Andy Purcell
Well, first of all, let me tell you something. There's a difference because I've never been able to socially accepted. Be socially accepted saying that.
Billy Jean
Sure.
Andy Purcell
Okay. Latino people can say Latino pride. Black people could say black pride. White people say white pride.
Billy Jean
Oh, boy.
Andy Purcell
It's a big problem. Okay, I'm gonna make a point. No, hold on. Let me make a point.
Billy Jean
You're winning in life, Andy. You and I are winning. I can't say a lot of things because we're winning, people.
Andy Purcell
I say whatever I want. But my point here, my point on this is that because I've never been able to think like that, and I've been told that my identity is not in my race.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. I don't have racial. I don't look at white people and be like, oh, yeah, they're like me, and I'm proud to be. At all. I don't even think that way. And so then culture tells white people they're racist on top of it. It's like the you talking about, dude. Like, yeah, I've never been able to either thing. So there's multiple sides of this equation. And here's the bottom line, bro. If we're going to be what America says that it should be at some point, okay. If you fall down where we're walking out and you skin your elbow and it's bleeding eating, what happens after a day or two, I'm pink. No, no. Yeah. Well, what happens? Okay. A scab forms.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. And if we continue, every time that scab starts to get better, we peel it the off, it never heals.
Billy Jean
This is good.
Andy Purcell
Here's my point. My point is this. There has to be. And I don't think that what you said. I really honestly don't. I don't think that anything you said is actually wrong. I don't think anything he said and vice versa. And I Don't think I said these.
Billy Jean
Are his perspectives, but everything else.
Andy Purcell
No, look, but at some point, the men of this country have to stop tearing the wound open so that it can fucking heal. And that's the truth.
Billy Jean
So question, hold on, let me ask you both this, because this is a question for both of you. Now with that inside and thinking about what you said earlier, which I agree with the government, it's like, yo, we need to get rid of all that. And Trump comes in and he's like, like, let's fucking delete it all because it's bullshit. Would you be opposed because of. It is time to move forward. If Trump comes out and he goes, you know what? It is time to move forward. There was some fucked up shit in the country. It was this idea to make America great, but it was just for white men. But we all know that it needs to be for every man, every woman. Doesn't matter your fucking color. And he rips up the Constitution and he burns the fucking flag and starts a brand new one.
Andy Purcell
I don't think that's. Yes, I would be opposed to that.
DJ Cruise
Yeah, here's why that is.
Billy Jean
I'm curious though.
Andy Purcell
Here's why. Here's why.
Billy Jean
Could you understand why I wouldn't be super excited about the flag, though?
Andy Purcell
No, not at this point, no. But here's what I will say. Here's what I will say. And bro, you know I love you, dude. Like, and I, I actually really appreciate that you have your opinions and actually back them up with a fucking argument and not just say stupid ass shit.
Billy Jean
Dumb. Yeah, for sure.
Andy Purcell
I believe that the idea of, like when I say, hey, man, I'm a fucking patriot. I am not saying that I am a fucking fan of the way shit is now. What I'm saying is I'm a fan of the way that it was designed to be. And America has never lived up. I. This is, this is what I think needs to be said.
Billy Jean
Okay?
Andy Purcell
America has never lived up to what it was designed to be from the start. And if we actually took what it was designed to be from the start and actually applied that right now, yeah, we're fine. We'd have the best thing ever.
Billy Jean
I agree with that asterisk of just saying how it's designed to be for all people, because it wasn't designed to be for all people. If it was designed to be for all people, that. I'm with that.
Andy Purcell
No, no, no. You know, back then it said all men are created equal. They did not.
Billy Jean
But your votes, three fists.
Andy Purcell
I understand this Yeah, I understand this. What I'm saying is, if you took the same document and you apply it today and you actually lived by that, we'd have the perfect country. The problem is just like many businesses, that there was a business plan that nobody followed the right way.
Billy Jean
Okay.
Andy Purcell
Okay. So. So I would not. I think that the answer is not okay. If we have a problem in business. Right. Let's say you and I are business partners and we make this plan and we say the business isn't working. Well, what's the first thing we should do? We should look and see if we're following the fucking plan. We haven't followed the plan. We don't just tear up the plan. We audit ourselves. Are we following the system? Okay. And the audit of America over the course of the last 200 years is, in my opinion, that while it has gotten better, we have never actually lived to the system that was designed to be. And so I think that if we actually started applying what it was supposed to be in reality, the way all men are created equal and all of these other things, I think we end up with the perfect product. We just have a bunch of people, as you said, who have gotten into power and utilized it for their own benefit.
Billy Jean
It. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And I do think that it would be. I think it's very important to acknowledge that there has been massive amounts of progress that have happened over the course of this time, and we are much closer to what it should be at this point.
Billy Jean
That's fair.
Andy Purcell
Culturally, yeah. But I believe that we are much further away from a leadership standpoint where these guys have started to create a system that pretends to be free, that actually isn't free. And I really think that we would all do ourselves a service at you as a black man, me as a. Not white man, but a white man. Okay. To lead people to unity so that we could understand that it's not us, that's it up for each other. It's those up there that are constantly telling us, you're this, you're that, and then while the same time we're fighting, they're stealing our money, bro. They're stealing it all. I think that's so. So I don't think that the answer is to tear it up, but I'm.
Billy Jean
Gonna tell you from a symbolism, I think the answer.
Andy Purcell
I think the answer is to take the tyrants and put their heads on some stakes and make sure that no one ever does that again. That's what I think.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I. I think that's well put. And I I just think as a.
Andy Purcell
You have sensitivities about it. Yeah. Well, no, but you gotta understand, I, I do too. Do.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Because there's flip sides to it.
Billy Jean
Yeah. I. I think, I mean, yeah, for sure. Right. Like, I mean, I think.
Andy Purcell
But none of that identifies. It's not my identity.
Billy Jean
No. It's not my look.
Andy Purcell
It's not gonna say yours either.
Billy Jean
Stop me.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
What I want to do, I just think like for America to be unified. Right. And if we are. Because you're bringing up a good point of like, when does it end? When does it stop? To me, I think we in those docs, in those processes and create a new one. Like, I think that's how it would end. It's like, hey, this is kind of.
Andy Purcell
A symbol of, well, could you make better system than that one it was on?
Billy Jean
I mean, maybe, maybe we rewrite it in different words. Just a sign of symbolism. Of like, yo, we're acknowledging that this was the. Is kind of. And moving forward. I bring this up because I, I come back full circle with, you know, like, I had a friend of mine and she was really taken back at like, now, mind you, I pledge allegiance and I stand up for the flag. But also in the same stand, I can respect somebody who doesn't. If you look at the history and see what everything that would happen, like, it wouldn't make sense for them to stand. And so I just think it would be ideas or maybe those stand and there's just a new additional doc, like a new declaration. I think it. The whole thing is. And we do need new. But I see a lot of backlash when people don't just bend the knee to the old documents, the old Constitution, all these things that were written at it.
Andy Purcell
Why do you think that?
Billy Jean
Is it because they're protecting their own.
Andy Purcell
Well, do you think it could be something else? Like, for example, like, I don't know, like my grandfather being killed after. In World War II, after fighting on D Day and never meeting my dad.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
I mean, do you think, do you think that that's. Do you think that, you know, me growing up without a grandfather and my dad growing up without a dad would in the name of. Of fucking what this country is supposed to be would make me feel a certain way when people don't stand for the flag.
Billy Jean
100. But you just like that, that same passion. You can also see how somebody else's dad and grandpa was killed because of it. And I think that's the hard part is it's both. You're not wrong Neither is John Doe, who's, you know, or my. My ancestors who were killed. Because we're not wrong. I just think we're here. And I'm just a fan of everybody kind of understanding everybody's perspective. Like, I'm. I would hope that the comment here is. I think this is a healthy conversation. Both sides had really good perspectives. Let's grow together. But you're not. You're going to have comments and someone's going to be like, they're super far right and they're racist.
Andy Purcell
No.
Billy Jean
And he's a little hard.
Andy Purcell
No, no, no.
Billy Jean
Right.
Andy Purcell
I don't think. No, no, no. Our people are very centered. Like.
Billy Jean
Okay, good. Then I hope people can see that we're all on the same.
Andy Purcell
Of course.
DJ Cruise
That's my biggest point, bro. I think. I think what it comes down to, we talk about expiration of it. The problems that we have in this country, they're not black problems, they're not white problems, they're American problems. And I think the moment that Americans start realizing, hey, we're all on the same fucking team here.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
And start looking at all of our separate needs and stop. Stop looking at them as separate needs. Like. Like the poverty that's in fucking downtown St. Louis, that's all our problems.
Andy Purcell
I agree with that.
DJ Cruise
The poverty that's like that in, you know, South County.
Billy Jean
That's the most unified you've sounded.
DJ Cruise
Well, I mean, listen. But like that. But I feel that that is my belief. You know what I'm saying? I think the problem is, like, when we constantly try to. Oh, well, this is a black issue. Oh, well, they got their white privileges. A white issue. No, bro, like the. The moment we can all address it together, I'm like, hey, these are all of our problems. We have to psycho all of these problems. That's when we move past the expiration.
Andy Purcell
Dude, I agree with that. But you can't call people racist for pointing out the problem.
DJ Cruise
That's what I'm saying.
Billy Jean
We.
DJ Cruise
If we all own.
Billy Jean
Well, then. Then with Andy, with that just. They need to state the whole problem. Right? Like, I think state the problem because you're right, the data is the data at this point. But to anyone's going to be sensitive.
Andy Purcell
Well, I don't think people like hearing the truth about the whole problem.
Billy Jean
But anyone's going to be sensitive about the problem if you don't say the how and why. So, for example, if you walked into me and let's just say I punched my boy Paul, and you're like, well, you guys Just punch. Etc and I didn't tell you, yo, he just literally killed three people in the other room. Room. You'd be like, I'd be so mad because I'd be like, you didn't understand why, like it needs to, there needs to be acknowledgment of.
Andy Purcell
Listen, dude, I don't buy, I don't buy. Listen here. I don't buy in to the black community being statistically ultra violent compared to the white community for sure, for what happened 300 years ago. I don't buy into that.
Billy Jean
Yeah, it's economics. It's economics, right?
Andy Purcell
I know. I don't think it is. I think it's. I, I think it's.
Billy Jean
I, I think it's, it's, it's low, low income places.
Andy Purcell
Is it? Hold on, is it? No, it's not. Because the murder rate is not the same in white poverty places.
DJ Cruise
It's not the same.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
And the thing is, I think that's the other thing.
Andy Purcell
And then we'll say, well, where. It's, it's the culture. Listen to rap music. Well, no, it's not. Because lots of white people listen to rap.
Billy Jean
So what do you think it is?
Andy Purcell
I don't know, but I think we need to figure it the out.
DJ Cruise
And that's the thing. It's like, I think, you know, specifically like, like black community, bro. Like we have an accountability issue.
Billy Jean
Issue.
Andy Purcell
I think so too.
DJ Cruise
I think that's the biggest thing. It's like, you know, when little Tyrone kills Lil jj, it's okay. We'll put up, make, make the T shirt.
Billy Jean
But also, who says that?
DJ Cruise
What do you mean?
Billy Jean
Like, who's, who says it's okay? And like, I, I think they don't say it's okay.
Andy Purcell
They act like it doesn't exist.
Billy Jean
Most people agree with that, but we.
DJ Cruise
Don'T call it out. We don't call it out. Billy, here's an example, bro. I was a police officer, right? Like I've seen death, I've seen murders, right? You know, like when Lil JJ gets killed in the block, right? And you go knocking on doors. Anybody see anything? I ain't see.
Billy Jean
Yeah, right.
DJ Cruise
Like that's a problem. I agree, that's a problem. And I think we have a massive accountability issue within the black culture, bro. And it's like, it's a tough thing because nobody wants to talk.
Andy Purcell
Well, here I can tell you there's a big difference.
Billy Jean
I think that's fair. That's a real point to say.
Andy Purcell
Because, dude, in my, in white culture, if Some, like in my family, dude.
DJ Cruise
Johnny does some dumb.
Andy Purcell
That guy's a idiot.
DJ Cruise
Johnny did that guy. He's right down.
Andy Purcell
He deserves to be in prison.
Billy Jean
Everything, everything you guys just said there is. Okay. It's just when you do that and then also not acknowledge white privilege, it just. It's harder to hear.
DJ Cruise
But what does white privilege.
Billy Jean
It doesn't. But my point is.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. What's the hardest. What's the hardest thing to hear?
Billy Jean
Not putting those two things together.
Andy Purcell
It's the hardest thing to hear.
Billy Jean
But what I'm saying is, though, just from listeners being leaders with voices, etc, when one side is just saying one thing, that's where the labels come. That's where people go, oh, DJ is racist or he's being an Uncle Tom is because you just got to say both sides is. Is because then mean. If you can say both sides, then you go, he's right. There is an accountability. Just like if you're sitting two people down and if you only say the one thing, oh boy, does this person gonna feel the type of way. So I think it's just continue the conversation like we're having here.
Andy Purcell
I think everybody. I think everybody has to be held the same standard. That's it.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Like, we can't have special stand. When we start making special standards for some people and other people, then we create resentment, which creates more bias. So if we're gonna fix it, everybody has to be held the same standard. Everybody has to be held to the standard of their own personal actions. And we have to say, what happened back then, that's not what caused you, like right now. Okay, look, let's take it away from race.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Okay. Let's take it to another. There's another thing that's happening now that's very similar. This person killed four people because he had depression or he had met. I don't give a. I don't give a. If you were depressed. I don't care that you were having gender dysmorphia. You kill four, you go to jail. Like, that's it. And so like, dude, now we just covered this on the show last week. Some dude. What was the example with the mental health? The, oh, this guy killed somebody or did something and he was like, oh, he was suffering.
DJ Cruise
Yeah. They released this guy. So, yeah, the. The. Oh, he bombed the Tesla place.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. So there's a guy. White dude, right?
DJ Cruise
Yeah, white dude, white kid.
Billy Jean
You said bombing. I knew.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's right. Right. That's fair. That's fair. See, this is the way it should Be handled, bro. That's fair. So anyway, this white dude bombs a Tesla and then he gets let out because he claims that he's having mental health problems.
Billy Jean
That's thing.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's.
Billy Jean
I don't think you should be able to use any kind of excuse in anything. Like I, I, I'm, look, I'm on the other side. I think there should be harsh punishments for stupid bro.
Andy Purcell
I think we should go to, I think we should be cutting people's hands off, putting them in the wood chip.
Billy Jean
What's funny is I actually believe that.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Cuz it would stop it.
Billy Jean
It would stop it.
Andy Purcell
It literally like stop it immediately.
Billy Jean
It would stop it. It's like, it's like Singapore, you hear? Like, oh, if you, if you put.
Andy Purcell
How many times do I talk about Singapore?
Billy Jean
How do you. I'm like, I'm like, let me tell you, when I, I think about going to Singapore, the only thing I know, I'm not touching gum. I'm not even going to chew it.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Cuz they'll pull, they'll pull your pants down in public and beat your ass 100 like in front of everybody. Yeah, I, I'm, I'm actually so, so let's start doing that and we'll fix all the problems.
Billy Jean
Facts. Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Cut heads off. Cut hands off.
Billy Jean
I don't disagree.
Andy Purcell
Kane. Embarrass shame fixes a lot of things. So the bottom line, the bottom line is here's the reality. I don't think you're wrong. I don't think I'm wrong either. I think we, but I don't think that these things are within our control other than what the example is that we set now for.
Billy Jean
Well, I think as leaders, it's a good conversation to have.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
I think it's like if someone took away just one additional perspective on all sides. Cool. I think that helps, right?
Andy Purcell
Oh, dude, look, I'm still going to make fun of you.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DJ Cruise
Like, yeah, I will get my tap dancing shoes.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. I mean he gets it the worst, bro. Because like, you know the Uncle Tom.
Billy Jean
Yeah. But like, honestly, how does that make you feel? Because that's pretty.
DJ Cruise
I mean, dude, I mean I've been on, I've been on that wagon for like five years now because again, like, you know, most people, they try to, they, they don't know my past, bro. They don't, they don't know that I taught in inner city schools. They don't know that I've coached youth. I've sat on the board of directors.
Billy Jean
Young as hell, but done a lot of.
DJ Cruise
I've done a lot. But like, they don't see that. They don't see that. I think, like, the truth.
Andy Purcell
And it's all good.
DJ Cruise
Like, the matter is, bro, I don't think you could find somebody that cares more about the black community. I care a to. Yeah, right. And I think what it comes down to again is, like, it's that that's the end goal. And we may get there differently, but, like, the end goal is like, there's some things we gotta fix.
Billy Jean
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
DJ Cruise
You know what I'm saying? And not addressing them ain't gonna fix them. Or just blaming the other side ain't gonna feel confused.
Billy Jean
Yeah, I agree with that.
DJ Cruise
Like, we got, like, there's problems that we have to address. And I want. Want the best for everybody. You know what I'm saying? And I don't look at uniquely. I don't think it's uniquely these problems or these people problem. No, bro. We all got to fix it, man.
Billy Jean
Yeah. Like, I think the best thing that anybody can do if you are experiencing any kind of racism, prejudice, whatever, is just move on and get rich really successful.
Andy Purcell
No, bro.
Billy Jean
And make the change that you want to see.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Because, like, you know what I don't like is there's this whole saying that you guys see every single election year here, and it's this. It's vote. Everybody says get out and vote. The truth is run. You really want change, run the only the. The, you know, it's like, like the conversation is vote, and then they get orange juice or apple juice or like, that's not a choice.
Andy Purcell
Or do what the Constitution says that we should do. Overthrow and have a duty to do is to overthrow tyrannical government.
Billy Jean
That too.
Andy Purcell
That's a fact. No, listen. We have failed. Our American people have failed their responsibility to keep the government in check, Period. That's it.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
And whether that is however that needs to be solved, it needs to be solved. And you know, that's why I'm on the fucking list, because I will openly say that.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
It says in our fucking preamble. It says that we as American citizens have a responsibility to keep our government in fucking check. We also have a responsibility to overthrow them. Them if they get too. And we have our fathers and the people before them have allowed these people to rape and pillage us financially, enslave us financially, and make it hard for all of us. And now what they're doing is they're telling that in public school policy, they have started to start the division at 2 years old when I was in preschool and grade school, at least they told us, like, hey, hey, you guys are all the same. They don't tell them that anymore. You know what I'm saying? And like, dude, I'm just so sick. Like, dude, how hard do you work? You work hard. You work hard as. How is it okay for them to take more than half of your money? And then. And then. That's not okay.
Billy Jean
No, it's not.
Andy Purcell
That's not okay, man.
DJ Cruise
And money that they're taking, you know, that's supposed to be going to knees.
Andy Purcell
How much money?
DJ Cruise
Give more.
Andy Purcell
How much? That's what I'm saying. Well, how much more money would you. You like, it's so. And then they use it against the. They make everybody hate people like me and you because they say, well, all they're going to do is keep the money. That's actually, that's actually makes no sense. Because if you were to say that the reason that, that I'm successful is because I'm greedy, and you were to say we tax him because if he's greedy, he's just going to make more money. Well, to make more money, I had to create more jobs, dumbfuck. Okay? So I actually have to do more good. The, the greed and capitalism. If you actually believe that actually is what creates the economy. So, like, it's either one or the other.
Billy Jean
What's sad about what you're saying is you're correct. But because people won't be in our.
Andy Purcell
Shoes, they don't get it.
Billy Jean
They're never.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, I know.
Billy Jean
It's almost like, okay, that's why we'll. We'll live our lives well.
Andy Purcell
But, but my point is, is that. That they intentionally stoke that fire so they don't figure it out. The bottom line is this, bro, we are at a place in time where. I don't know. I mean, I, I feel like. I don't know. I personally feel responsible to at least try to fix what the going on. Now. The only way I know how to do that is by changing the culture. And I'm a pretty good culture guy.
Billy Jean
Would you ever run for office?
Andy Purcell
No, I don't think so. Because the truth of the matter is that I believe that my strength is in developing culture. And I think that if we can get people to understand that if they become excellent and they become wealthy and they become healthy and they become good people and intelligent people, that by default creates a cultural revolution. And if the cultural revolution demands that.
Billy Jean
You'Re about to rise.
Andy Purcell
The government will fall in line. So politics is downstream from culture. So my. My answer to that is, I feel like I can do more good here than I can there. I mean, if you look at Trump, Trump is getting blocked and this or that, you know, and like, same thing. When whoever's in office, they deal with, there's no way to get anything done. And the only way we as American citizens can fix anything is by taking responsibility for our own lives, our own wealth, our own thoughts, you know, and do everything the opposite of what they want us to do, because everything that they want us to do is for the benefit of them and not for the benefit of us.
Billy Jean
I have a. A tagline that I like to always say, and this is to the world, I don't care what color you are. And that is get off your knees. And what I mean by that is one thing I'll never do is beg for anybody's approval. Beg for anything. And what I see, like, let's take a big example, like, you know, the Oscars, or like this, you see people up in arms. They didn't give us a Grammy. They didn't give us an Oscar. Go make your own Oscar.
Andy Purcell
Not only that, right? Like, how about this? It's better. Better.
Billy Jean
Like, yeah, like, get better, but, like, also, like, you don't need the approval for anyone. Anything. Go make it. If you want something, go make it. Like, literally, go make it.
Andy Purcell
You live by that? I live by that, too, bro. Like, I. Like, you know how many times I've been told no. You know, many times I've been told I'm stupid. You know, many times I told I was never going to be able to do any of the. That I've done. I don't. Like, that's normal for me. Like, I don't it. Watch me. Huh?
DJ Cruise
Watch me.
Billy Jean
Yeah, watch me.
Andy Purcell
Like, what the fuck? Like, that's.
Billy Jean
Because then if they see you do it and they know you and they grew up with you, and if they know that Andy could do it, that they can do it, too. They have to deal with the harsh truth.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, well, I mean, look, man, it's real, man. At the end of the day, you know, we're always going to have problems. And. And I think that the men of our generation have an obligation, this is my view, to stop tearing open the wounds that they want us to talk about and fight about and start getting everything aligned so that we can't be taken advantage of as a whole. And I think the more that we argue about race While and discussing and discussing and arguing are two different things.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
When there can be reasonable conversation and we. It'd be no different than talking about the sports game. This could have happened or that could have happened. All we can deal with is what the is. And what is is that for us to ever have our country back, people that look like you and people that look like me are going to have to figure out how to get along. Because the number one way that we are taking advantage of is along that line.
Billy Jean
I agree with that.
DJ Cruise
And through that line, everything else is accomplished.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's right. The minute that white culture and black culture start to get. I know you all say we don't have a culture, but we do. All right. But the minute. That's his line, bro. Yeah. So. So the minute, though, that we all get along and figure out that it's them causing this, they are done. And. And, dude, that's why I care so much about the conversation. I. I hate race baiters. I hate great, antagonistic people along those lines that consistently tear that wound open so that it can never. We. They do that so that we never figure out how bad they are taking advantage of us.
Billy Jean
You give them a greater enemy.
Andy Purcell
Right? That's right.
DJ Cruise
So anyway, this has been great combo.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. We're gonna have to wrap it up here.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Billy Jean
How long we've been going.
Andy Purcell
We've been going 310.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Billy Jean
No.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. That's the longest show we've had.
Billy Jean
Oh, yeah. It was good, though. I feel like all the topics were right, bro.
Andy Purcell
It was awesome.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, bro.
DJ Cruise
Listen, we are gonna.
Andy Purcell
What?
DJ Cruise
Well, we'll just finish it off.
Billy Jean
Stop complaining. Go work, Learn AI.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Get rich. Change the world.
Andy Purcell
Yeah. Don't be racist.
DJ Cruise
Yeah.
Billy Jean
Don't be racist.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
But make racist jokes.
Andy Purcell
That's. That's correct.
Billy Jean
I think that is the. That's the.
Andy Purcell
Racist jokes heal the best.
Billy Jean
They're the best.
Andy Purcell
Yes.
Billy Jean
Yeah. For sure.
DJ Cruise
That's it, man. But yeah. So let's wrap it up with a final segment of the show, guys. As always, thumbs up the dumb. As we bring a headline in, we talk about it, it'll get one of those two options. So with that being said, a thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline reads going viral. Woman arrested after police find pet raccoon and driver's seat with crack pipe in its mouth during traffic stop. All right, let's have a racist guess here.
Andy Purcell
So white or black? Hold on.
Billy Jean
Are we playing white or black? Because that's a better game.
Andy Purcell
Rack raccoon with a crackpipe.
Billy Jean
Where was it at?
DJ Cruise
Raccoon with a crackpipe.
Billy Jean
I mean, that sounds. The raccoon says white crack says black mix mixed.
Andy Purcell
Yeah, that's your people dj.
Billy Jean
No, this was white girl dating a black guy.
DJ Cruise
Okay. All right, thank you. All right. All right.
Andy Purcell
Well, that's, that's actually pretty good.
Billy Jean
Yeah.
Andy Purcell
All right. But, but is she, but is she a biggin or a little one?
Billy Jean
Is she.
Andy Purcell
What? She big?
Billy Jean
Oh, she's definitely big. Yeah. A lot of ass.
DJ Cruise
All right, well, let's, let's, let's dive into it.
Billy Jean
A lot of ass.
DJ Cruise
An Ohio woman was arrested after police in Springfield Township found a raccoon with a crack pipe in its mouth during traffic stop. 55 year old Victoria Vidal of Akron, Ohio was arrested on Monday and charged with F3, possession of drugs, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. ABC News reported the police officer was in absolute disbelief as he discovered a pet raccoon named Chewy holding the meth.
Billy Jean
Pipe with Tyrone in the driver's seat in the passenger seat.
DJ Cruise
Let's check this clip out.
Billy Jean
Hello.
Andy Purcell
The raccoon has her meth pipe as.
Billy Jean
You what? Oh, my God.
Andy Purcell
Her meth pipe.
Billy Jean
No, he's playing with the meth pipe right now. No, don't reach for it. That's evidence now.
Andy Purcell
I don't want him to have it.
Billy Jean
Well, that's why I'm gonna do it.
Andy Purcell
Hey, buddy.
Billy Jean
Huh? It's okay.
Andy Purcell
Is that the lady there? She's only 55.
DJ Cruise
That's math, bro.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
Billy Jean
This is what she's smoking. Nothing. Okay. The wreck co playing with her meth pipe. She's mad about it. Oh, there's no.
Andy Purcell
She's trying to smoke it.
Billy Jean
All right, thanks.
Andy Purcell
Listen to the cop.
Billy Jean
All right, all right. Enough fun and games.
Andy Purcell
You're going to jail.
Billy Jean
Oh, my God. Holy hell. Okay, so she was white, but she didn't have ass.
DJ Cruise
She didn't have.
Andy Purcell
Oh, she did. We all missed.
Billy Jean
Yeah, we did. That was.
DJ Cruise
That raccoon was trying to take a trip.
Billy Jean
That's actually pretty, bro.
Andy Purcell
That lady's only 55. That lady looks. That lady looks 155 more.
DJ Cruise
Drugs, bad. Don't do drugs bad.
Billy Jean
Drugs are bad.
Andy Purcell
Yeah.
DJ Cruise
If you do do drugs, don't do meth.
Andy Purcell
