| 0:00.0 | As we go through our life, we do try to learn new things and learn from our mistakes, but sometimes there are habits that we have and there are life lessons that we learn that honestly they might not have been right and we needed to unlearn them, but sometimes we struggle with that. You know what? Let's get into it. |
| 0:11.8 | 10. Harmful life lessons. Most people struggle to unlearn. As a kid, if I had a conflict with a friend, my parents would tell me never to talk to them again because they weren't a real friend anyway. |
| 0:35.8 | So now all of my so-called friends only get gross, completely false accolades from me. Like Mike, that shirt looks really good on you today. Really good. |
| 0:54.8 | Really good. Did he tell you that earlier? He did. As a matter of fact, it's exactly what he said. Before he said about it, then he asked me if I was 70. These are 10. Harmful life lessons. Most people struggle to unlearn. |
| 1:11.8 | I thought it looked rather dapper. So these are 10. Harmful life lessons. Most people struggle to unlearn. I mean, if you told me I had detention, I wouldn't be shocked. I know. |
| 1:30.8 | You know, Mr. Hawk is here. This one says, if you try hard enough, you can change someone's perception of you. People try to change with all their hearts as another person's perception of them, whether it's a parent sibling or someone else or someone in a person's life who's simply unsatisfied regardless of what they do. |
| 1:51.8 | So just basically, this is a lesson that I did eventually teach myself. I strived to be as good of a person as I could. There are some people that just don't like me. And I understand that. And I have worked my ass off to try to correct that. But we're not going to like you. I don't know how many times you have to tell you. |
| 2:10.8 | When I sat back and I was like, there's enough people that say that they like me, my wife, the rest of them, like, who cares? If you don't like me, that's a you problem, not a me problem. It could just be that we are oil and water. It doesn't want to hang out with people that don't like me. I understand if you get you come here every day for a variety of reasons. |
| 2:26.8 | But the people that I choose to be around, I don't want to be around people that I don't like. Cool. Yeah, no kidding. Harmful life lesson. You can change someone if you try hard enough. Like you can't. That's a relationship destroyer. Right. Exactly. Don't get into something thinking that you're going to change somebody. I bought this so I could change it. I think that the castle always had the best line about that. It's like, man, you knew where the train was going when you bought the ticket. Right. I mean, that's it. Exactly. And in the end, if you're in a relationship, |
| 2:56.8 | inevitably, you end up kind of comfortable. You find that happy medium. Of course. Well, people change. But yeah, at the end of the day, most people change because they want to change something. Right. Exactly. Not because somebody else said you need to stop dealing. Exactly. When you got a question, when he got a question, when he got a good smoking, when he got a good smoking, when he got like, dude, that's not helping. It makes me want to go outside and have a second stress on me out. Exactly. What was it? You can't help somebody that doesn't want to be helped. You can't you can take a horse water. But you can't you can't change somebody that doesn't want to change. |
| 3:26.8 | As far as that aspect of their lives, you can tell somebody that they need to do something. I don't I don't care what aspect of their life it is. But until they are ready to change that, they're not going to change about anyone is to find me more attractive. There you go. Look, I have friends that are very good at some things and I'm better at than they are. There are some things I'm terrible after they're really good at. I'm like, I don't know. I was talking to somebody last week. We're talking about dating apps or whatever. I was like, no, it's a great idea. I am just lazy and have never done it. Sure. Because he was like, you got something against. I was like, I don't know. |
| 3:56.8 | I don't know why you're saying that. I don't know. I just have it. You just have it. Everyone is paying attention to you. So you have to act like it. No. I think people do it. Look, I think that's human nature. Right. If you're in a room by yourself, you can scratch balls. You're going to do it. If someone tells you there's a camera on you, you just act a little different. Sure. Right. I mean, that's inevitable. That's what people do. Yeah. Right. That's why I don't do anything on these elevators. No. Yeah. I'm convinced. All those cameras are there. I'm convinced. Oh, yeah. They hear me far. Let's see me scratch. |
| 4:26.8 | Let me scratch myself. I don't care. I'm like, you can see every elevator of it. So you don't forget when you're in an elevator. I don't know why. Oh, they obviously even work. I just completely forgot. I just stood in there and pushed a button. Yeah, it's like that. It was just something stupid. I was like, oh, my God, you're still an elevator. I used to do that based on our old building, the way that elevator work. It wasn't normal. You just press a goddamn button. But that became part of my habit. So we would go play. We'd be at a hotel or something. I would get an elevator and not think to press the button because five days out of the week. |
| 4:56.8 | We didn't press a button and you see people in the door open. You realize you're still in the lobby and everyone's giving you this weird look. Yes, because you're not leaving. You're like, ah, and then you feel stupid when you're like, listen, I forgot to press the button, which is the dumbest thing you could possibly say. But it's like, I can't explain where I work. It's just a thing. 10 harmful life lessons. Most people struggle to unlearn. You don't have to finish all the food on your plate. God love it. That's one that depends on the food. Yeah. Well, how you grew up with that. That's growing. |
| 5:26.8 | Because your parents are flipping the bill. They're poor. Keep eating. The flip side is sometimes you're hoping your buddy doesn't finish what's on his plate. Because when he's eating, what's good? You're going to finish your nachos. What's going on there? Get your hands on my dog on nachos, man. I like. If I go to dinner with miles. You know what? If he just wants to get a steak and doesn't want to get any veggies, I'm not going to be like, my house, you can't have dessert. If you don't know, it is your experience. My wife pulls this move right because I don't necessarily want to side. |
| 5:56.8 | With a place like that. Oh, man. I'll just like he wants to green beans, meaning she wants green beans. Oh, absolutely. You bet. I did. Look, I did it to Mike a few weeks ago. Not about hunger. But just we were all sitting. Me, him and his wife were sitting there. And I said, the waffle fries here are awesome. We should get waffle fries. And he said, it's okay. I'll get taught. So basically, so his wife could have some or I could have some. I said, the hell with that? All three of us are getting these waffle fries. Live it up. He's crazy. I said, man, I didn't work. It did. Yeah. Well, that's what my life is now. |

You can have some of my thoughts. Brother, it never ends. No, I know it. I've been having that for 19 years. Oh, and it's just, I already know how it goes. I'm just like, listen, I will get their goddamn house salad because I know your meal doesn't have that over there. But can you just order a side of fries? I am now. I am now her surrogate food person. The worst is when they can determine which of the Chinese food things they want. So like, |
