Be The Hero II (ft. Joe Rogan)
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
Be the hero of your own movie
If your life was a movie and it started now
Forget about whatever financial disasters you've had, personal failures, relationship failures
What would the hero of your life's movie do right now?
Do that, do those things
Do that, do those things
Do that, do those things
We define ourselves far too often by our past failures
We look at our past and we say, "Well, that's me."
That's not you. You are this person right now
You're the person who's learned from those failures and you can choose to be the hero of your own movie right now
Write down your goals
Write down things you wanna improve
Write down thing you won't tolerate from yourself
Write down things that you've done in the past that you never wanna see yourself do again
And go forth from here as the hero of your own movie
As the hero of your own movie
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
Build momentum, build confidence and momentum with each decision that you make from here on out
You can do it
You can do it
Anyone can do it
Anyone can do it
We live in unique times
We live in one of the rarest times in human history
Where you can choose almost all of the input that comes your way, whether it's in movies that you watch, the books you read, the podcasts you listen to, you can choose to be inspired
Dthat, do that, do, do, do that
Do, do, do, do, do that, do that
Be the hero
Be the hero
Be, be, be the hero of your own movie
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
And you can do that

Take A Path That's Dangerous (ft. Joe Rogan)
The opportunity takes place usually when you're young and you don't have any responsibility
That's when you have your options
Well, your options are severely limited the more you gather responsibilities
Like, if I had as a 51-year-old father of three, a married man, he pays taxes and has a house and a mortgage and a business and all that jazz
If I had to quit everything now and struggle the way I struggled as a standup comedian, it would never work
The only way I could be this person now is if I took that chance when I was 21
When I was dead broke and had my cars repossessed and all that stuff
[Chorus]
That's the only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
And most people wanna take the safe path
The safe path leaves you stuck in quiet desperation almost every time
It's hell, it's hell
You're selling insurance or some other shit that you care zero about
It's hell, it's hell, it's hell
[Chorus]
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The way you can change is you have to put aside enough money to give yourself a window
And then you have to have a plan
And you have to spend all your waking hours outside of whatever shit job you do, planning your escape
And you have to come to the realization very clearly that you fucked up
[Jordan Peterson]: Bucko
You got yourself stuck
So whatever you're doing, you have to do it like your life depends on it
And whether it is you're trying to be an author and you're working eight hours a day, plus commuting, plus family responsibilities, or whatever time that you have
You have to attack like you're trying to save the world
You're trying to save your life. You don't wanna drown
That 1 1/2 hours a day that you have to write
Goddamn, you better be caffeinated and motivated
You gotta go, you gotta get after it
You gotta go, you gotta get after it
[Jocko Willink]: Get after it
[Chorus]
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
[Akira The Don]
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
You gotta have discipline
Most people don't have those things
Most people don't understand what it's like to really go for something
And then know that the consequences of not doing that are horrific
You gotta get after it
Fear Factor (ft. Joe Rogan)
I didn't wanna work with actors anymore
So I was happy that "Fear Factor" was no actors
Since I had a background in coaching
I was used to teaching people and I was used to encouraging people and getting people motivated
When someone was nervous and they were about to do something
I could grab them and go, "Look at me. You can do this."
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off, get scared and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this
It was completely unexpected because I thought the gig was just gonna be these people do these crazy things
I make fun of it, and we all cheer, and it would all play itself out because it was a reality show
But somewhere along the line, especially when they became really nervous, it was very intense
It was moments where I really, I wanted these people to win and I wanted these people to do their best
I wanted these people to succeed
There was one time, there was this father and a son competing against a mother and the daughter
And the father and the son were kinda jerks and they thought that they were gonna win
The parent and child teams had gotten down to two and it was the man and his son vs the woman and her daughter
And everybody thought these jerks were gonna win and were kinda bummed out about it
But the woman and her child, they just rose to the occasion
I mean, I remember talking to them and firing them up
I didn't know if they could do it
I didn't know if they could do it
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off, get scared, and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this
It was some crazy thing that they had to climb and do this thing, had to gather flags, and it was all for time
The kinda jerky son, the jerky dad, they kept screwing up
They fucked up because they'd kinda taken it for granted that they were gonna win
A lotta times, jerks are just insecure, and when they're under pressure, when they're really faced with real pressure, like this is the real moment
Who are you really?
Who are you really?
Fuck all that talk, who are you really?
They fall apart
The mother and the daughter won
You're talking about a hardened crew of people that have watched people eat animal dicks, jump, jump outta helicopters, season after season, episode after episode
Everybody cried
The camera people, like I'll cry now if I'm thinking about it, just seeing their spirit
When they were figuring out a way to win, watching them win, like to this day
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared, and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this
I never tear up for sad things, I tear up for happy things
It's never been sad things
It's very hard to get me to cry with sad things
But trying, success, people pulling through, when someone has a particularly incredible performance, I have to fight off tearing up
I feel so happy for them
With sad things, I can objectively analyze them, and I cannot get sad
I can understand that this is just life and it is what it is
I mean, I won't feel good, but I won't start weeping
I don't weep for sad things, the way I weep for happy things
I can rationalize and understand sorrow
I can internalize it, I get it
I just get so happy for people sometimes when things go well
As a human being, you realize how hard it is to overcome competition or these difficult moments, so these moments when you're tested
And you know that there's fears and insecurities that these people have to battle, as well as the actual physical task in front of them, there's so much going on
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
I am a student of human will
I love stories of discipline and success
I don't even like going to movies where they're sad
I'm not interested, I know it's sadness. I've been sad, I get it
I'm not interested in getting that in a form of entertainment
I like success
I like seeing people triumph
I like seeing the human spirit manifest itself in spectacular ways

Discipline Gets Things Done (ft. Joe Rogan)
The one thing that discipline definitely does help you with
It helps you get things done
And when you get things done, when you actually do things
You have more success
A big part of success is just not being fucking lazy and just doing it
90% of it is just showing up, get there, and start working
Like you're not gonna feel perfect every day
If I only worked out when I felt good, I'd be a fat fuck
'Cause there's a lotta days I don't wanna do it
It's pretty much the same with everybody that actually gets good at something
There's gotta be those days you push through
They're probably gonna be more numerous than the days you don't
And so the benefit of discipline in my eyes has always been that through discipline, I get things done
I'm like the most lazy disciplined person I know, because I don't wanna do it
[Pre-Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
[Jocko Willink]
I also think that discipline is a pathway to creativity
When you're on the battlefield
Is an absolute exercise in creativity
How are we gonna attack them?
How will we get this organized?
How are we gonna get in their heads?
That's all just massive creativity
And when I look at people that are artists
I would imagine the more disciplined you are, you gotta write stuff down, you gotta read, you gotta increase your vocabulary so that you are quicker and sharper, so that when people are saying things, you have more words to battle back at them
All those things, all that freedom that you get on stage, comes from the discipline
You study, you learn, you read, you write, you talk, you go through things
Is that an accurate statement?
[Joe Rogan]: Absolutely accurate
[Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
And it doesn't matter if you're sick, it doesn't matter if you have kids
You're a pro and you go to work and you have pride in that
And then when you are in front of that keyboard, you look down at the count
And it says, “I've got a fucking thousand words today.”
And outta that work, gems blossom
Well, you might have a day where you just write nothing but dog shit
So what? Show up again tomorrow, and tomorrow outta that dog shit a flower will emerge
[Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work

Do Shit That's Difficult (ft. Joe Rogan)
Everybody got these stupid barriers they put in their own head
You gotta resist those goddamn things 'cause they don't do you any good
And they certainly define the potential for your future in a negative way
It's not self-serving and it's not even real
But this idea that there's no way to get past the starting block today is just ludicrous, it's crazy, and it's just this poor thinking
And people that are trapped in bad situations
One of the problems is you feel like this is your future
You feel like you're fucked. You can't get out of it, there's no hope, there's no light at the end of the tunnel, there's no rainbow
And if you feel like that, that alone can be incredibly defining and limiting
But if you look at yourself objectively and say, "Ok, I am kinda fucked here. I'm in credit card debt, I'm working in a shitty job, I don't like what I'm doing, but I have some ideas. I need to feed those fucking ideas
I need to feed them and water them. I need to set aside a certain amount of time every day to just try to make those things happen."
Every day to just try to make those things happen
Every day to just try to make those things happen
Every day, you can do that
[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
You look at someone who's doing really well or very famous and successful
All you see is him now flying around in private jets, wearing a new pair of sneakers every day, driving around in Bentley's, you just see that
You don't see him being a young kid in Philadelphia, going to open mic nights
There's a progression that you are not witness to
You don't see it and that takes place in everything. It takes place in the office, it takes place in comedians and musicians
There is a starting point and then with time and focus, as long as you reevaluate, you reassess, and consequently, objectively, look at what you're doing and then pursue it with passion and focus, you get better at things
There's always going to be people that are luckier than you
Some of it is luck and some of it is courage
Some of it is putting your ass out there, some of it is trying things
One of the things that I always like to tell people that I think you should do, is do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
Failure teaches you things that you don't learn from success
I think failure gives you an opportunity for self-examination and also gives you a feeling that is very uncomfortable
And that very uncomfortable feeling helps you grow
And don't look at these failures as proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities for growth
And don't look at these failures as proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities to be motivated, to be better
[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Outro]
This life doesn’t have enough of that
There's not enough struggle
You don't get to know yourself without struggle
You don't get to know your boundaries unless you push them
You don't get to know who you are really unless you're tested

Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Outro]
This life doesn’t have enough of that
There's not enough struggle
You don't get to know yourself without struggle
You don't get to know your boundaries unless you push them
You don't get to know who you are really unless you're tested
I Don't Wanna Hear That Shit (ft. Joe Rogan)
Everybody's different
Everybody's similar, but everybody's different
And your attitude has a giant effect, not just on your life
But on other people's lives around you
That's the other thing about it
Those I can't catch a break guys
[Pre-Chorus]
Get them fuck away from me
I can't be around those guys
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't buy it, 'cause everybody has bad breaks
I've had a shit ton of bad breaks
But you know what I did?
Stayed up
And I thought through it, and I figured out what the fuck I did wrong, and then I went back
It's like I fucked up everything I've ever done 100 times
There's no other way to do it
But you gotta realize when you have those shitty breaks what that is
It's an an opportunity for you to reassess, reboot, get better, figure out another way, find another way through
It's just challenges
And the people that look at those challenges and go, "Why do I always have these challenges?" they're cancer
Those people are dangerous to be around
They will rob you of your enthusiasm
They don't give you any fuel
They're the opposite of fuel
The fuel people are kicking ass, the people that are out there just fucking hustling, always, always getting things done
Always getting things done
My friend Jocko, every morning I'll check his Instagram page 4:30 shows a picture of his watch, get after it
[Jocko]: Get after it
[Jordan Peterson]: Bucko
He's out there working out 4:30 in the morning
Does it every fucking morning, why?
Because he doesn't want to, and that's how you do it
You go and get after it. You don't make any excuses
And those kinda guys are fuel
But those I can't catch a break guys, they're the opposite of fuel
They're just pissing on your fire
They're no fun
[Chorus]
Get them the fuck away from me
I can't be around those guys
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
The people that'll surround them are all idiots
'Cause only idiots want to be around I can't catch a break guy
Only dummies stick around
After a while, even if they're your good friend, you gotta be like, "Bro, you gotta fucking stop. You gotta stop with all the I can't catch a break bullshit."
All the time you're complaining you could be instead hustling
You could be instead chasing your dream
You could be instead figuring out what you're doing wrong, trying to improve certain aspects of your life, getting your shit together, reading a book, meditating, something, fucking something
Something, fucking something!
But this I can't catch a break shit is not helping anybody
And it pushes everybody away from you
[Chorus]
Get them the fuck away from me
I can't be around those guys
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't want to hear that shit
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
Get them the fuck away from me
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit
I don't wanna hear that shit

Happy As Fuck (ft. Joe Rogan)
I think a lot of what happiness is, is a management issue
You could be in a shit state of mind right now
But you could make some decisions to adjust that and over the next couple hours
You'll get to a much better place
And these constant management decisions, they waver in and out of your life, on a daily basis
Like this idea that you can have a good mindset and then all of a sudden you'll be happy, that's horse shit
It's like the tide, it comes in and it comes out. And there's gonna be days where you're just not feeling so good physically, and that's going to affect the way your happiness level is
It's never static, it's never exactly the same
Me?
[Chorus]
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
It's like hunger
It goes in and out, it's always there
This is something I've cultivated for a long time and avoided things that make me unhappy and figured out what those things are and been
Very rigid about eliminating them from my life
There's a lot of cynicism in these days about inspiration, about motivation, because there's a lot of fake shit
You see a million of these inspirational quote pages run by people that are probably depressed
You know, you see a lot of people that are talking about how to get ahead in life, but they're not really doing anything themselves
So there's a lot of cynicism involved in that, but there's also sincerity in it
If you just look at it with a pure heart and a pure mind, you can get a lotta energy outta that
And when you're around happy, inspirational people that are successful, it makes you feel better and you get inspired
And if you act on that inspiration, your life will be more fulfilled
And it's not just inspirational in terms of financial success, but in terms of doing difficult things
[Chorus]
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
And I think that there's a lotta people out there that think somehow or another, you're gonna get to some place where you living in silk sheets and you're getting your toes done, and someone's dropping grapes into your mouth
I don't want that
That guy's not gonna be happy, he's gonna be bored
An hour into the grape, get those fucking grapes away from me, stop painting my toes
What am I doing in this bed?
I gotta do something
The human organism, the animal that we are, needs constant stimulation because it evolved trying to find food and escape enemies
And this is the great joy that you have in taking care of your children
You can protect your children from the elements and the enemies
And it's also the great sadness that you see in the losers
When I see a loser, I see some guy who's 43 years old and lives in his parents' basement, and he fucking hates the world and I’m like
That was a baby that somebody just gave shitty nutrients to, food or in thoughts and ideas and examples
And this kid developed these horrible self-defeating patterns of behavior
That have led them to this point, where they're this person with no future and no idea of how to get out of this rut and probably never will escape it
And it might just wind up sucking on a gun
[Chorus]
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
This is the world that we live in today
And I think part of that world is because we have been fed this line of horseshit that you're supposed to seek comfort
And I don't think you are
I think you're supposed to seek lessons and you're supposed to seek difficult tasks
Difficult tasks
Because if I just think, well, tomorrow I'm just gonna coast and eat Twinkies and watch TV
Oh, hello, sadness, my old friend. Hello, depression
Because when you're not doing anything, you feel like shit
And that's just a part of being a human being. And we can pretend we're something other than what we really are
And we can pretend, "Not me, man, I'm just cool, just chilling, doing nothing,"
Bullshit, you're a fucking human
You evolved from the fucking hundreds and thousands of years of hunters and gatherers, and people who were struggling
Human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA
And if you don't respect that, if you don't respect the mechanism of happiness and fulfillment and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied in life
Camaraderie, family, struggle, learning — are imperative
They're all a giant part of being a person
[Chorus]
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
I'm happy
I'm happy as fuck, is what I would say
I'm pretty fucking happy
I'm pretty fucking happy
I'm pretty fucking happy

Monkey's In Space (ft. Joe Rogan)
Whoa, the idea, the big one is the stoned ape theory
Terence McKenna’s theory was the reason why the human brain size doubled over a period of 2 million years
And he equates it to the time where the climate changed
And rainforest receded into grasslands, and these monkeys climbed down from trees
They started experimenting with new food sources, and they would flip over cow patties to find like bugs and beetles and shit
When they saw mushrooms growing in the cow patties
Certain groups of these monkeys started eating these mushrooms
Two things happened
One, it increased their visual acuity and made them be able to see much better
And then the other thing that happened is it made them horny
So here you have these better hunters, they can see things better, they probably can throw things and they're more accurate, and then they're horny, so they're gonna fuck
And then of course, as they're eating plates of these fucking things
They're gonna have psychedelic experiences
And if you're a monkey maybe and if you have psychedelic experiences every day
It's like a forced-fed evolution thing
It's like a forced-fed evolution thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Monkeys in space
Monkeys in space
If we figure out eventually we are all one thing
These spores are all like they can go in a vacuum in space
They can travel in extreme cold, extreme heat
They can absorb radiation and not get damaged
And they can travel from other planets
Like if a meteor hits, a chunk of this planet can get knocked off
It gets sent flying into space and it lands on another planet
And those spores get to give birth on this planet
And just communicate with all the animals that are here
When you have a DMT trip, it feels like communication with intent, but with no words
I understand exactly what you're saying, but I understand it more as like a wave
It's like a very clear and obvious wave of information
One of the times I had this DMT trip, the DMT things
They would say a bunch of the same things
Relax and don't give into astonishment, but they're not using words
That's the next shit, man
[Chorus]
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Monkeys in space
Monkeys in space
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Monkeys in space
Monkeys in space
They start to look at this, they're starting to back off, starting to look up at the sky
And they're starting to look to the left and look to the right and go
"Whoa, what the fuck is this? What is this thing we're doing here?"
'Cause this isn't just we're living life
In the beginning, Bob was a baby. Bob went to high school, then college
He played a bit of football before settling down with his…
No, no, no, no, no, no, that's some of that shit we made up to make ourselves feel more comfortable
Those events are actually taking place
Bob is going to school, but that doesn't mean shit, okay?
What really means something is we're flying through the fucking universe
Flying through the fucking universe
We're in space. We are in a ship, it's an organic ship
We're not on the ground. We're not on the ground, we're flying
“I'm afraid to be in space in a spaceship”
You're on a spaceship right now
It's just fucking huge
It’s a 24,000 mile across spaceship
Okay, it's a spaceship, that's what it is. Okay, it's a spaceship
We're not grounded. It's not like the universe is a solid mass and we're sitting on it
We're flying, we are right now hurling and we're spinning 1,000 miles an hour around massive nuclear explosions
[Chorus]
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
Monkeys in space
Monkeys in space
Psychedelic experiences every day, every day, every day
