Who doesn't have kids in here? I got 5 kids, bro. I mean, I've been changing diapers as long as I can remember. If I sat down right now and explained to you how to effectively change a shitty diaper, me and you, bro, I explain it and then I get Amanda's twins in here tomorrow and I say, you're in charge, bro. Good luck. Are you going to have any success changing that diaper? I'd have to figure it out on my own. Imagine that. So to me, dude, going script training with him on how to change a diaper's point— like, why are we doing it? I've never understood it. And people wanted to do it with me and I bought in. I'm like, oh, that makes sense. I should know how to change diapers before I have a baby. Imagine knowing how to raise kids before you have kids. You know what I mean? And this is the same for me. We learn by doing, making mistakes, and getting correction on that mistake from someone who's done. That's the path to winning. Can you navigate on your own and learn some shit by yourself and invent some stuff? Yeah. Are you that guy? Because I ain't that guy.
