Nick Perry tells a younger person that his fitness transformation took 15 years, not three months. Perry pushes back against the modern expectation of overnight success, arguing that meaningful results require long-term dedication and patience.

Bro, 3 months and I'll be shredded. What are you laughing at, old man? How long did it take you to look like that?
15 years.
15 years? Did you skip every other year?
That's the problem. You think you're getting fit in 3 months? It doesn't work like that. Anything worth having takes time. Screw you, man. New generation wants everything overnight.
Hey, my boys said you offended them.
Tell them I meant it.
