Shownotes Transcript

Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what the f*** are you talking about, you insane Hollywood a**hole?

So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. $45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month.

When it comes to weight loss, no two people are the same. That's why Noom builds personalized plans based on your unique psychology and biology. Take Brittany. After years of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off. I was definitely in a yo-yo cycle for years of just losing weight, gaining weight, and it was exhausting. And Stephanie. She's a former D1 athlete who knew she couldn't out-train her diet, and she lost 38 pounds.

My relationship to food before Noom was never consistent. And Evan, he can't stand salads, but he still lost 50 pounds with Noom. I never really was a salad guy. That's just not who I am. Even through the pickiness, Noom taught me that building better habits builds a healthier lifestyle. I'm not doing this to get to a number. I'm doing this to feel better.

Individual results may vary. Give it up to the one, the only, Mike Tyson! In order to be good, you have to move it to understand laws.

The loss is life. I think of competition as people reaching their highest potential when competition comes. Competition is always good because it helps you not to give in under the slightest struggle in life.

Life is going to give everybody a bad hand. No one's going to leave here without being tried in life. Wow. And you have to be, you know, you're going to have to take it. Adversity makes the strong stronger or the weak weaker. People got to be accounted. That's what competition is all about. Everybody in their family knows who's the strongest one in the family, who's the matriarch.

Even if they're older, they can kick his ass, they know he's the boss or she's the boss. That doesn't have nothing to do with strength and big and big. They know who the boss is. They know who can run the house. They know who the yes-no. Yes-no, the boss, he distinguished himself or she distinguished himself out of all of us. That's why we know they're the boss. Cuss knows when to put the gas on and when to put the brakes on. You know, that's what a teacher does. He's a teacher. We all teach everyone. All of us teach everyone.

All teachers and students, this world is one big school and we're the students of this world. And that was the competition shit. Why should he have it and he's not better than you? He said, man, you're fighting good, but I wish you were bigger. And that hurt my feelings. I said, I'll make sure the whole world's going to be afraid of me. It's cool that people are seekers. I think that's very interesting that we're seekers. But we have to believe that we're divine and that we learn from our experience. Because confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence. They go hand in hand.

You can't accomplish anything unless you say, "Oh, I'm a prick. I could never do that. I'm not born to do that. Only certain people could. Only white people could. I can't do that. There's nothing I can't do." But just the mindset of wanting to be the best. What is the mindset you can transfer to somebody being a good? I just want you to find out the first guy that really, really succeeded on this shit. Probably 1900 or something like that. Even if you were the crook. Just go from there and go all the way there and read all the way till you get to you.

Okay? So one study history. Yeah, study until it gets to you. And then you realize those people were just you in funny clothes. You read everything they did, now you practice it. Now let's see what this shit really worth. I hate the whole aspect of the warrior mentality and the duration of it. That's probably the main part, the length of how long you have to go through that, um...

That psychological warfare, it takes tolls on people. That kind of stuff. It's just really rigid. If you become the best, you have to almost become fanatical. You know, this is my life, this is all I live for, this is my air, this is everything. I guess most athletes feel that way. They have one of those old-time trainers in there.

have that particular type of method of training. It just becomes your life. So you can do this in your sleep, so you can get regimented. Sometimes it's hard to accept who you are. Sometimes I see young kids out here

And they commit suicide and they don't like who they are. They're in prison. And it's really difficult, you know, to accept who you are in this world because really we don't know. But then in order to have friends, you have to be put in this particular kind of, I don't know, you have to be labeled, so to speak, you know. So we don't know who we are until we get, I guess, to a certain degree of freedom.

It's just that dedicating and sacrificing your life to be in a particular way you want to be able to, like you want to conduct it. Say you want to be like Tony Robbins. You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins. And you conduct it. This is how I want to live my life. This is almost like a

This is your manuscript. This is what I'm gonna do. Yeah, and I'm gonna live like Tony. I'm not gonna be 21, but I'm gonna live it I might I'm gonna conduct myself like Tony Robbins. Yeah, so you gotta live it. You gotta breathe it Yeah, and you have to be that before you actually become the person interesting You're not gonna become the person over there like you think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now right to that? Why are you Tony Robbins? You didn't know it's gonna take time. So I'm gonna become this guy. I

I'm gonna be this guy before, 'cause you're not ready. But when the time comes, you're gonna be ready. You're gonna be Tony Robbins. This is my life, I'm accustomed to this. Of course I got this role. Of course I got this job. Of course I got this rate. I prepared for it. You wouldn't even be surprised. Everything changes when my classes change. I never understood my struggle. I had everything I wanted, but still I was fighting the light.

My dark spirit was still fighting the light. That was my struggle. I couldn't get anything done. What's the question you wish you could have answered? Who am I? What's my purpose here? I think my purpose is to be the best person I could possibly be before I die. You know what I mean? That could be my purpose in life. See how far we can go in life before we die. Yeah. You know? But suppose...

People don't think in that perspective. That's what LL Cool J told me, 'cause I'm talking some, I think I'm talking some glamorous shit. I'm talking some fly shit. And he was telling me, "Mike, you know, there's some people that live in the outskirts of fucking Ohio or somewhere, and they just live simple lives, and that's all they wanna do, Mike." - Enjoy their life? - This shit we talking about don't mean nothing, Mike. They just ready to die and ready to meet God, taking care of the kids, the people they love. Or maybe go on a vacation. Maybe never go on a vacation.

I leave the town, but this is just a simple life. This is what makes them happy. Yeah. And I really can't, you know, I come to the place, if you're nothing, if you're something, you're nothing. Mm-hmm. You know, isn't that so fucking shallow? If you're not something, you're nothing. What's my definition of something? Mm-hmm. Somebody with a fucking wad of money in their pocket? I have no fucking concept of humanity. It's what life is. It's trying to figure shit out. You have to go with the flow. Mm-hmm. I know my...

demons and I realize in life everybody's gonna really find them out eventually. You think you're gonna hide that shit? It doesn't work that way. So you just started to forgive yourself on things or it's happening every day? Yeah, you know, it comes around, yeah. Wow. I'm not gonna, hey Mike, fuck that, all that shit you did is cool, man. God loves you. That's bullshit. I don't function. I don't think that. I don't think God leaves you to figure it out. You're forgiving yourself.

Is it cool? It's cool. If it's not, it's not. You figure it out. It's hard to be kind when you're trying to be the best at the same time too, huh? Yeah, but that's the part of discipline. Discipline is separating the two. You know, you have to do what you hate to do, but do it like you absolutely love it with vigor and do the add-on. If I had more time, I could be even better than what I am. Yeah, and if I had more time, I could probably right through all the wrongs that I did.
