[00:02:13] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:02:14] Aaron: So, dude, I wanna, I wanna, like, I I, there’s a bit of a thing when some people, honestly, on this show, we have a lot, very successful people in my eyes. Like I bring on people who I admire. Like if someone’s on the show, pretty much I admire something about that person or many things. Okay. Uh, including Brad.

[00:02:30] Aaron: I just wanna point out who’s just point out 

[00:02:31] Brad: who’s on every show. 

[00:02:33] Aaron: That’s right. Thank you. Thank you. So 

[00:02:36] Brad: this is gonna be the Brad Pats himself on the back episode. 

[00:02:39] Aaron: So, however, I 

[00:02:40] Brad: love, 

[00:02:42] Aaron: some people have this idea of this like silver spoon. Things are given to people, like, rich people are only there because their granddaddy was rich or their uncle’s rich or something.

[00:02:50] Aaron: Or like, it’s all just happened, right? So I wanna kind of take people to the beginning of your story. I want you to tell me like, what was it like growing up and, and what kind [00:03:00] of issues did you get into in your life that you, you know, we’re, we’re, we’re here on, on in planet Earth? Carl. Good question. Yeah.

[00:03:05] Aaron: So let’s, let’s, let’s start there. Spell 

[00:03:06] Chris: it. So where do I start? Um, okay, good. So, you know, yeah. I’m 27 years old now and I grew up in, uh, Erie, Pennsylvania, of course. But, um, you know, growing up I had a mom and dad and I had two older sisters, right? And so, uh, at an early age, my family separated. My mom and dad got divorced, right?

[00:03:27] Chris: Whatever it is what it is, right? Dad kinda left a picture. I still love ’em to death, right? We don’t talk that much, right? Mm-hmm. And so, um, uh. This is around third grade. 

[00:03:39] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:03:39] Chris: Uh, where I, we, we moved from the city of Erie to a place called Harbor Creek. Right? Mm-hmm. And it’s it’s upper middle class, right?

[00:03:47] Chris: It’s not, there’s no, it is really not broke people. Mm-hmm. Like, it, it’s it’s upper middle class, nice houses, you know, subdivision, et cetera. Right. And so, you know, my family would get in fights and stuff like that, and I, I’m like, you know, [00:04:00] sitting there and I’m, I don’t know what to do. And then, plus I got two older sisters that are just like beating the crap outta me every day and don’t know what to do.

[00:04:07] Chris: And my mom always taught me like, you can never hit a woman. So I was never able to like, hit back, dude. I would just, I literally could just, I could take it. And if I pushed. Then they would just start freaking out and crying, and then I would get in trouble anyways. Right? 

[00:04:19] Brad: Yeah. Yeah. 

[00:04:19] Chris: So anyways, um, I got in a lot of trouble at a young age, uh, third grade, second grade, fourth grade.

[00:04:25] Chris: I mean, you know, I was stealing everything I could get my hands on. Um, I would steal stuff from the book fair. Like, um, and I remember one 

[00:04:34] Brad: time, so you stole as like, as a kid that young? 

[00:04:36] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:04:36] Brad: Why? 

[00:04:37] Chris: Oh, I was just, it was a game. Oh. I was like, you know, I, I, you know, my friends and I, well, it actually all started from, uh, you guys know Eminem, right?

[00:04:46] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:04:46] Brad: M 

[00:04:46] Chris: yeah, yeah, yeah. M right. You know his old CDs, like the Marshall Mather lp. Yeah. Slim Shady lp. Right? So. We’re in third grade, and I have, I got this MP three player for my, my, uh, for, for, uh, Christmas. Right. And my [00:05:00] boy, my buddy, he was like, Hey, dude, I just got this album. I took it from my dad and it’s the Marshall Mathers LP album, right?

[00:05:06] Chris: Explicitly, I’m not sure if you guys ever listened to it, but it’s of 

[00:05:09] Brad: course, 

[00:05:09] Chris: absurd, right? It’s just like the worst things you could ever hear, right? And so we’re listening to it, right? And we’re like, dude, this is awesome. Like, we have no idea anything he’s saying. And we’re, we’re learning a whole bunch of new words, like all the square words you could possibly imagine, all the drugs, all that stuff, right?

[00:05:25] Chris: And we’re listening to which one, which, 

[00:05:26] Aaron: which, which album is that? 

[00:05:28] Chris: It’s the one where it’s, it’s gray and it’s like, uh, but like, what’s that? 

[00:05:31] Aaron: What’s it like the singles, some shady 

[00:05:32] Chris: on 

[00:05:33] Brad: it. 

[00:05:33] Chris: Real Slim Shady on it. Okay. One of the first one. I was like 

[00:05:36] Aaron: 11. Okay. 

[00:05:37] Chris: Okay. Song cam. You ever hear that song, song cam? Uh, I mean, yeah.

[00:05:41] Chris: I mean, there’s a whole list. Uh, and then we were listening to that and, uh, we were like, dude, this is awesome. Mm-hmm. Like, do we love this? Right. So we started like looking up rap songs and printing the lyrics and then taking ’em into school. And then we would like rehearse raps. Right. Mm. With uncensored.

[00:05:56] Chris: So we’d be like cursing stuff like that, you know? And then one day the teacher [00:06:00] was like, oh, and you’re 

[00:06:00] Aaron: like nine. 

[00:06:01] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:06:01] Aaron: Eight. 

[00:06:02] Chris: Yeah. Like, dude, we’re learning everything. Like, all like the, the adult stuff that like we all listen to and like, we all know all the words. Like, we’re in third grade. Mm-hmm. Just like hustling this music.

[00:06:12] Chris: Right. So the one day we traded and I was like, yo, I’ll give you my MP three player for this cd. Mm-hmm. So I’m in my room and I’m just bumping into this stuff, and I think everything he’s saying is true. Like, he’s like, you know, just saying the craziest stuff. Mm-hmm. I’m gonna kill people, you know, I’m gonna shoot someone in the face.

[00:06:31] Chris: Like all that crazy stuff. Right? It’s, I’m like, damn, like, this guy’s legit. Like, oh my God, dude. So then, uh, you know, so then, um, you know, that, that, that started off, I learned a whole bunch of new words and, um, after that my mom found the CD and, uh, she basically ripped my head off. Mm-hmm. Let’s just put it that way.

[00:06:53] Chris: Mm-hmm. Because she found it and she was playing it. She was like, what 

[00:06:56] Brad: is the hell is this like, what the fuck is this? It’s [00:07:00] third grade. Like, what are you doing? Right. 

[00:07:02] Chris: Sent me to school that morning, dude. I was like crying up and stuff. Had to trade back the CD and stuff. And then, um, you know, after that, dude, all we would do is we would just focus on getting in trouble.

[00:07:13] Chris: So it was, it was in school, like we would, you know, um, I don’t know whether it’s cheating on homework. Mm-hmm. ’cause we don’t wanna do it. Or it’s stealing a pencil or there’s a book fair. And, you know, one kid’s like, oh yeah, my mom got this. Well, like, my, my parents aren’t gonna gimme money for shit, so how else am I gonna get it?

[00:07:32] Chris: I’m gonna steal it. Mm-hmm. So it started at the book fair, right? Yep. And then my mom found out that I stole, like I was, I stole like. $40 worth of stuff from the books for mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like, I just picked the most expensive stuff. 

[00:07:44] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:07:44] Chris: And, uh, she found it and she’s like, yo, what the hell? Right. Had me, if you’re 

[00:07:48] Brad: watching this in the far future, $40 used to actually buy you more than like a can of soda.

[00:07:52] Chris: Yeah, exactly. I mean, this was what, back in 2006 or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t know. But, uh, anyways, and then it went to, [00:08:00] uh, convenience store, convenience stores, and Walmarts and, uh, Kmarts and all those stores. I, we would just go in there and just steal stuff. 

[00:08:10] Aaron: Mm-hmm. Oh 

[00:08:10] Chris: wow. Right. And then I also found out that since I’m a minor, I wouldn’t actually get in trouble.

[00:08:16] Chris: Oh. So I was like, oh, this is brilliant. 

[00:08:19] Aaron: After you were already stealing. 

[00:08:20] Chris: Oh, yeah. 

[00:08:20] Aaron: And how, how did you learn of this? 

[00:08:22] Chris: The internet. 

[00:08:23] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:08:23] Chris: Yeah. And then I think one of my buddies told me or something. Right. Okay. So he was like, yeah, dude, like, you’re gonna, like, you’re, you’re a minor, you safe, so it doesn’t matter.

[00:08:30] Chris: Right. So I was like, oh, it’s brilliant. I don’t care if I, if I get caught or not, I’m still good. And plus I’m a little kid. So who’s actually gonna. Fault me. 

[00:08:39] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:08:39] Chris: Right. Oh, I forgot to pay for it. 

[00:08:41] Aaron: Right. 

[00:08:42] Chris: Okay. I’ll go pay for it. Right. I know. It’s sketchy. It’s sketchy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you 

[00:08:46] Aaron: know, that’s the key.

[00:08:47] Aaron: So, so, so did it, did it escalate right, once you found out you can’t get in trouble? Like, what, what was the 

[00:08:51] Chris: next Yeah, it, it escalated to the point where, you know, I just started stealing, stole my stuff, and my mom told me she was, because I would, and then I’d steal, I’d steal money from my sisters. Mm-hmm.

[00:08:59] Chris: And I’d steal [00:09:00] money from my parents and I’d steal money from friends. It was horrible. It was super, super bad, right? Mm-hmm. And it was like, it was like addicting, right? I was like, okay, how much can I get? Right? And then, um, the, there was one day where my mom found out I stole like a piece of gum or like a pack of gum from the store.

[00:09:15] Chris: And she was like, that’s it. And she’s like, you’re going to juvenile, uh, you’re going to the juvenile center? And I was like, no. Like, no. And she like packed my shit up. She sent me there, it was closed. It was just more so of like a scare tactic. 

[00:09:27] Aaron: Okay. Okay. 

[00:09:28] Chris: But 

[00:09:28] Aaron: like the prison, like juvie, you prove 

[00:09:29] Chris: Yeah. Like the juvie.

[00:09:30] Chris: Yeah. She’s like, you’re going to juvie, like now pack your backs. And my like, I’m like, what dude? What the hell is this? Right? Um, because also, like my, my family, we grew up Your 

[00:09:40] Brad: mom, the judge, jury, and 

[00:09:41] executioner. 

[00:09:41] Chris: Oh, dude, she’s 

[00:09:42] Brad: awesome, dude. 

[00:09:43] Chris: She’s, she’s amazing. I mean, she, I love that she died last year.

[00:09:45] Chris: Breast cancer, rest in peace. But she’s freaking incredible, dude. She was amazing. 

[00:09:49] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:09:50] Chris: Um, and so when I was little, I had two cousins and like my aunt, that’s a whole nother story itself. Right. Just different family stuff. But they’re in a different part of town. Right. The [00:10:00] hood. And my mom grew up in the hood.

[00:10:01] Chris: Mm-hmm. So she would always take me on rides whenever I’d do bad shit and be like, do you wanna live here? Do you wanna live here? Do you wanna live here? You wanna get dropped off right here? Right. Hey, like, Hey, let’s go at 8:00 PM at night. Let’s, I’ll drop you off right here. You can, you can live on your own if you really want to.

[00:10:14] Chris: Right. And she, this is, I’m like, I’m in like third and fourth grade, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I’m just like. Looking out around. I’m like, dude, I like that. That looks like an abandoned house. Like, I don’t wanna get dropped off here. Right. So anyway, so she takes me there and she’s like, all right, get outta the car.

[00:10:28] Chris: And I’m, obviously, I’m crying and shit. And so she like forces me outta the car. She closes the door. She doesn’t, she doesn’t do anything. She just kind of like, does, uses a threat. And she’s like, all right, good, you done now? I was like, yeah, good. Boom. And then the next day she brought me in again. Um, then I had to talk to a police officer and basically like confess all my sins to the, to the police officer.

[00:10:46] Chris: And then it, it, it didn’t really get better after that ’cause, and then I’d just, I would just continue doing it. 

[00:10:52] Brad: Mm. 

[00:10:52] Chris: Getting, getting the detention, you know, fourth grade, you know, getting attention and stuff. Like flipping off bus drivers. Dude, I just [00:11:00] wanted to just get in trouble. Yeah. 

[00:11:01] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:11:02] Chris: And so, um, after that.

[00:11:06] Chris: Then my mom was like, dude, since you just can’t get your together, I’m sending you to a Catholic school. 

[00:11:11] Aaron: Mm. 

[00:11:12] Chris: And so, honestly, going to a Catholic school was like the best thing in the world for me because it was, it was honestly amazing. I had more fun there than ever before. Chris, what, what changed this?

[00:11:20] Chris: Like at what point did this change? 

[00:11:22] Aaron: Well, hold that. 

[00:11:22] Chris: Did 

[00:11:23] Aaron: the story, let it go through the 

[00:11:24] Chris: story? Yeah. Uh, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you when it changed. Yeah. Um, so long story short is I go to the Catholic school, um, and, uh, you know, I have the time of my life there, right? ’cause I’m like this bad kid. 

[00:11:37] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:11:37] Chris: Now in this Catholic school where all these parents and all these kids are like goody goodies.

[00:11:41] Chris: And then here I come, come in where they 

[00:11:42] Brad: actually. Were they actually 

[00:11:44] Chris: good? A lot of them were pretty good, honestly. Oh, like they were, yeah. They were really good, right? Yeah. And I came in there, I’m in what, fifth grade? Mm-hmm. And we’re playing soccer outside. And you know, like I grew up in public school, not saying it was a bad school or anything, but it’s just different.

[00:11:56] Chris: And so I go in there and I’m like cussing up a storm, [00:12:00] you know? I’m like not following all the rules and stuff. And they’re like, oh my God, dude, you just said a bad word. I’m like, bro, it’s a bad word. There’s no teachers or parents around who cares. 

[00:12:09] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:12:10] Chris: So then. Whatever. We, we, we continue getting in trouble, fights, all that stuff in the Catholic school.

[00:12:15] Chris: We were causing a lot of trouble. Had a great time. So 

[00:12:17] Aaron: you went with your buddy, the same buddy with the, the C 

[00:12:19] Chris: No, no. He went, I went, I went to that school alone. Okay. So I met a whole new friend group there. Okay. Okay. Right. And also, like, I, but after I graduated high school, I went from, uh, a Catholic school from preschool to first grade, and then I did a school called Rolling Ridge from that was the, that was the public school.

[00:12:37] Chris: And then I got sent to another school, which was the Catholic school from fifth to eighth grade. And then I went to Harbor Creek High School, which is not a Catholic school, it’s a public school. Mm-hmm. The same school that I went to when I was a kid. Okay. Except it’s high school. Right. So like, I went to four different schools.

[00:12:50] Chris: Right. And so I had to new meet new people every time I had to go to school. Right? Mm-hmm. And so how am I gonna do that? Well, 

[00:12:56] Aaron: that’s a, that’s a good skill, I guess, of what you, right? 

[00:12:57] Chris: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so like, and so now I have [00:13:00] a really, like a lot of people know me just because I’ve. I also, I’m not a quiet person, it’s just in my personality.

[00:13:06] Chris: Like I always am the guy that’s just in the group. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 

[00:13:10] Brad: And 

[00:13:10] Chris: so if 

[00:13:10] Brad: Chris is in a room and he is talking, you’re gonna know he is in the room. 

[00:13:13] Chris: Yeah. My voice does. No 

[00:13:14] Brad: matter how big the room is. Yeah. 

[00:13:16] Chris: It’s true’s 

[00:13:16] Brad: true. I love it. Whenever I’m like, somewhere and you’re there, I’m like, oh, where is he? I can hear him from across the room.

[00:13:21] Chris: You can hear me laughing and, yeah. Yeah. Mother mile away. Um, so then I get into high school, um, you know, the trouble continues. Drugs, parties, obsession with all that stuff. Mm-hmm. You know, um, all throughout high school. Uh, and then 

[00:13:37] Brad: did you feel like there was like a Sorry for interrupt. No, no. Did you feel like there was like a decline during this period?

[00:13:42] Brad: Like, was that, was it, did it feel like going downhill or, or No. 

[00:13:46] Chris: Well, it was interesting because you think I, yeah, like, like, the thing was is, is I knew I was declining, but I always knew that I wasn’t gonna do it forever. So my mindset was, is I’m gonna do as much as humanly possible now. 

[00:13:59] Aaron: Oh. 

[00:13:59] Chris: So [00:14:00] then later in life, it’s all done.

[00:14:02] Aaron: Mm. Okay. That’s an idea. 

[00:14:04] Chris: And so it was like, okay, let, that’s perfect me party as much as I can. 

[00:14:07] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:14:07] Chris: You know, from the age of 15 to, it went a little bit longer from the age of 15 to about 22 years old. Um, I focused on partying every single day or every single weekend doing drugs, you know, literally finding any way I possibly could to, to have a party, but then after I graduated high school, 

[00:14:26] Aaron: so, so just on, on the drug part, just to get it, like, we’re talking about you smoking pot or, or more 

[00:14:32] Chris: pot, cocaine, pills, everything.

[00:14:37] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:14:37] Chris: You could possibly think of, except for like meth. 

[00:14:39] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:14:40] Chris: Or heroin. 

[00:14:40] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:14:41] Chris: You know, but like, if it was there, I’d do it. Mm. I would water talking. 

[00:14:45] Aaron: You never got it. Okay. 

[00:14:45] Chris: Yeah. You know, like I was always the guy in the group where they would invite me to the party. They’d be like, dude, like, dude, don’t invite that guy.

[00:14:52] Chris: Because I would just, bro, I would drink everything. Yeah. And I would smoke everything. 

[00:14:55] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:14:56] Chris: Like if they, if, if they had, if they had like a thing of weed, like [00:15:00] this big. They’re like, oh, you know, like, let’s just take some time, you know? And I’m like, nah, dude, fuck that bro. Let’s smoke this whole thing right now.

[00:15:08] Chris: And they’re like, bro, like that’s my, that’s my last $60. I’m like, dude, I don’t care. 

[00:15:12] Brad: You know? We’re here to smoke 

[00:15:13] Chris: anyways. Okay, next, next subject. Right. Okay. 

[00:15:16] Brad: Okay. Okay. 

[00:15:16] Chris: So anyways, so, and that’s, dude, that was my last, so basically 

[00:15:19] Aaron: you’re direct, bro. The thing is, you have a lot of volume, 

[00:15:21] Chris: right? 

[00:15:22] Aaron: Yeah. So if you put whatever direction you’re gonna go in, bro, you go big.

[00:15:24] Chris: Yeah, that’s right. So you’re going 

[00:15:25] Aaron: big in that direction. 

[00:15:27] Chris: Alright. Yeah. 

[00:15:27] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:15:28] Chris: Yeah. And so after high school, um, after high school, I, I was the, one of the, uh, like I had a, I had a late birthday, so I graduated high school and I was 17 years old. So my birthday is June 28th. Um, so I graduated high school, then I turned 18.

[00:15:41] Chris: Then that’s when things really took a turn. ’cause I was in the real world. I knew I didn’t want to go to college. All my friends that were going to college and stuff, they would, you know, they’re living this great life college, blah, blah, blah. And here I am, you know, working at McDonald’s, you know, flipping burgers and still doing the same stuff.

[00:15:57] Chris: Were you actually at McDonald’s? Yeah. McDonald’s. Yeah. 

[00:15:59] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:15:59] Chris: [00:16:00] Yeah. Yeah. That was my first job. Yeah. 

[00:16:02] Brad: Just like President Trump. 

[00:16:04] Chris: Yeah, exactly. Okay. You know, Trump is the first president ever to work at McDonald’s. Anyways, 

[00:16:10] Brad: you don’t know about this meme. 

[00:16:11] Aaron: Yeah, no, I know, I 

[00:16:12] Brad: know. Okay. 

[00:16:12] Aaron: Okay. I just, 

[00:16:13] Chris: so anyways, so anyways, so, so right after high school, then I go on a really bad turn.

[00:16:18] Chris: ’cause I start like going hard. ’cause now I’m free, right? I don’t have school. All I do is work. Yep. And I’m working, like I’m working at McDonald’s. Then I started working at Mc, uh, TJ Maxx. And then after TJ Maxx, then I worked at a hospital, um, as a cook. So I was like a cook at a hospital, right? It was like I was getting paid like $11 an hour at the time, right?

[00:16:36] Chris: Yep. Which for an 18-year-old, I was like, I’m rich, right? Mm-hmm. 

[00:16:39] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:16:40] Chris: And so that’s when I started going hard into everything, like drugs, party, everything, right? And then, uh, Halloween night I got arrested. And so the they for, for 

[00:16:50] Brad: what? 

[00:16:51] Chris: Well, I was passed out on the side of the road. Okay. Oh wow. So I was, I got super messed up at this Halloween party, and uh, I blacked out.

[00:16:58] Chris: I was walking and I [00:17:00] just fell and fell asleep on the sidewalk. 

[00:17:03] Brad: Mm. 

[00:17:04] Chris: Oh wow. And like the middle of the little town, right? And so I wake up to a cop kicking my foot and I was like, what’s up man? And he’s like, yo, you good? I’m like, yeah, get up. Whatever. You know? He’s like, how much do you have to drink? I’m like, ah, not much.

[00:17:17] Chris: And then he pats me, right? I already know him. And, uh, that night I was given a weed bowl. Oh 

[00:17:25] Brad: yeah. 

[00:17:26] Chris: And it wasn’t mine. And so he packs it up. He is like, oh, is this yours? And I was like, no, it’s not mine. He is like, bullshit. You’re getting in the, you’re getting in the fucking car. 

[00:17:35] Brad: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

[00:17:36] Chris: So whatever dude.

[00:17:37] Chris: Like, you know, and then, uh, you know that, that, that whole situation was crazy. And then, um, um, after that, um, I had a really great lawyer, so he removed my underage drinking charge, which would’ve suspended my license. Mm. And he also removed my possession of marijuana. ’cause he was counting the marijuana in the bowl as weed.

[00:17:57] Chris: Right. But it’s just resin. And so, [00:18:00] uh, um, I got six months probation and that was the thing that changed everything for me. ’cause I couldn’t smoke, I couldn’t do drugs, I couldn’t party, I couldn’t go hang out with those guys ’cause they wouldn’t want to hang out with me unless I partied. Mm-hmm. Right. And so what, I’m 19 years old.

[00:18:19] Chris: And then on top of that, uh, right after I got arrested. I was doing like tricks on a snowboard, busted my fucking shoulder, and then, uh, I was still doing drugs because I didn’t have the probation thing yet. So I was like, whatever. Like, why don’t I just keep partying till this thing happened? 

[00:18:38] Aaron: Well, because, because you’re saying like, okay, so you got arrested and then there’s like a trial and this or whatever.

[00:18:41] Aaron: Yeah. Not a trial, but whatever. 

[00:18:43] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:18:43] Aaron: So you’re, between the time, the thing between that happened in the middle of that, that’s when this, the accident happened. 

[00:18:49] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:18:49] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:18:50] Chris: And then I got fired. 

[00:18:52] Brad: Were you allowed to be snowboarding on your probation? 

[00:18:53] Chris: Yeah. Well, I wasn’t on probation yet, technically. Oh, okay.

[00:18:57] Chris: Okay. Oh, I got it. Got it. So the probation happened like, like in the beginning [00:19:00] of February. It was six 

[00:19:00] Aaron: months. Okay. Did I want, I wanna just examine it ’cause I’ve, I’ve not been arrested. Okay. Me. Um, 

[00:19:05] Chris: good. 

[00:19:06] Aaron: So thank you. That’s good. So how can you go through that process? So like, okay, the cop gets you, like, you just wa I just wanna go into it, dude.

[00:19:13] Aaron: I know. Like, I just wanna know, like, how does that happen? 

[00:19:15] Chris: I’m curious too. I mean, it’s really not like, like I, like I, there’s a lot of people that have, have done a lot worse than me and been arrested for a lot worse than me, but like. For example, um, you know, he was like, all right, put your hands behind your back.

[00:19:27] Chris: And he read my, he read the remand rights. And as soon as he said that, I knew, I was like, I knew I couldn’t say anything to him. Yep. So I was also like com, like I was just completely smashed drunk, right? Mm-hmm. So he puts me in the back of the cop car and I don’t know what to do, and I don’t wanna say anything ’cause it could be held against me in law.

[00:19:43] Aaron: Yep. 

[00:19:44] Chris: And so I’m just screaming the word in the back of his car. Oh wow. I’m just like, did he hold that against you in a court of law? No. No. He can’t. It’s just a word. Right. And I didn’t do, I didn’t do anything wrong against him. Right. Yeah. And then he put me in the freaking drunk tank. Right. What is that?

[00:19:59] Brad: [00:20:00] Well, what is 

[00:20:00] Chris: that dude you’re talking about? Stuff like, I know, bro. What’s the drunk tank dude? Uh, the drunk tank is like, I don’t know, it’s just a room. 

[00:20:06] Brad: Oh, it’s just where they’re holding you overnight, 

[00:20:07] Chris: right? Yeah. It’s a room and you go in and they put you in handcuffs and then you have to just sit in the room and just wait.

[00:20:12] Brad: You have to sit there in handcuffs. 

[00:20:13] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:20:14] Brad: Oh, that sucks. 

[00:20:14] Chris: I mean, you don’t, I mean, sometimes you do something. I know. He cuffed me up. You sat there all 

[00:20:19] Brad: night in handcuffs? 

[00:20:20] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:20:20] Brad: A front, in front or behind. 

[00:20:22] Chris: One of ’em was tied to the bench. Oh, bro. It was, 

[00:20:26] Aaron: but, and how many people are in this setting? 

[00:20:27] Chris: It was just one dude, bro.

[00:20:29] Chris: We’re in, we’re in a small town. 

[00:20:31] Aaron: Yeah. Okay. 

[00:20:31] Chris: Like, I’m not even talking, I’m not even in Erie. I’m in a place called 

[00:20:34] Aaron: Edinborough. 

[00:20:35] Chris: Okay. And it’s like trees and land. 

[00:20:37] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:20:38] Chris: It’s just, it’s just, you’re the one, it’s literally just me, dude. And so and so, like, 

[00:20:43] Aaron: um, and you stayed there just one night? 

[00:20:45] Chris: Yeah, I was there for like, I don’t even know how long.

[00:20:47] Chris: Why did he 

[00:20:47] Brad: handcuff you to the bench, 

[00:20:49] Chris: bro? The guy was Dude, dude. 

[00:20:52] Anyways, 

[00:20:54] Chris: bro, it gets way more excessive, bro. But, but no, it was crazy. It was crazy. So then 

[00:20:59] Brad: that’s [00:21:00] like some medieval stuff, 

[00:21:01] Chris: bro. It got even worse. So, uh, so then whatever I get to the drunk tank. I’m in there for, I don’t know how long, I don’t even know.

[00:21:08] Chris: Maybe let’s say five hours, whatever. I have worked the next morning. Yep. Right. And uh, at 

[00:21:13] Brad: McDonald’s? 

[00:21:13] Chris: No, no, this is at the hospital. Okay. 

[00:21:15] Brad: Oh, 

[00:21:15] Chris: okay. That’s when I was working at the hospital. Dude, that job was also saying, anyways, uh. So I’m like, dude, like, I need outta here, bro. Like, I have to work in the morning, dude.

[00:21:26] Chris: I don’t go to college. And he’s like, well, dude, I’m like, I need to call someone. I’m not calling my mom. He’s like, you’re calling your mom. I’m 18, dude. I’m 18 years old. Like, I still live with my mom. 

[00:21:38] Aaron: He knew. 

[00:21:39] Chris: He’s like, you’re calling your mom. So, dude, I had to call my mom. He called the mom, dude. My mom picked me up and I was so embarrassed.

[00:21:45] Chris: My mom was like, she wasn’t even like pissed. 

[00:21:47] Aaron: Yeah, 

[00:21:47] Chris: right. She just smacked me in the head and was like, you’re a, like, like, like, you’re not, like, I’m not paying for anything. So like I, I’m not mad at you or anything. Like you up. 

[00:21:58] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:21:59] Chris: And I’m just [00:22:00] like, yeah, I did. And she was like, yeah. I know a lot of these parents and they help their kids get outta that, don’t expect anything from me.

[00:22:06] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:22:07] Chris: You know? Mm-hmm. Like, you gotta, you’re paying and handling everything. 

[00:22:10] Aaron: Yep. 

[00:22:11] Chris: And I was like, so I had to handle everything. Right. You know, like, thankfully, we, we have good connections and so we, we knew a state trooper that knew a good lawyer that hooked us up and whatever. It was like, I don’t know, the total investment was like four grand or something like that, which I don’t even know.

[00:22:26] Chris: To, 

[00:22:26] Aaron: to, to get you on probation instead of go to jail. 

[00:22:27] Chris: Well, just to get me the lawyer. 

[00:22:29] Aaron: Oh, wow. 

[00:22:30] Chris: And the, the whole cost and other fines and whatever, fees, whatever. And so, um, 

[00:22:37] Brad: can I ask you a question 

[00:22:38] Chris: about what hap Yeah. 

[00:22:38] Brad: About that situation? Do you feel like your mom telling you, Hey, you’re on your own, helped you?

[00:22:45] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:22:46] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:22:46] Chris: Oh, it helped me every, it helped me every time. 

[00:22:47] Brad: I, I kind of got that as you were saying that. 

[00:22:49] Chris: Yeah. Well, my parents really did that my whole life. Yeah. So, like my dad for example, like, even though like, you know, I barely talked to him, um, probably since, I don’t know, maybe. [00:23:00] Sixth grade. Mm-hmm. No, about sixth.

[00:23:02] Chris: Sixth or seventh grade is when like kinda everything separated. Whenever I was younger, every time I’d be like, Hey dad, can you help you with something? He’d always just say like, figure it out. 

[00:23:11] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:23:12] Chris: Mm-hmm. Like when, like literally anything, it could be anything. I’m like, Hey dad, can you help me get this plate on the top shelf?

[00:23:21] Chris: And he, he’s sitting on the couch watching TV or whatever and he goes, he goes, figure it out. And I’m like, oh no. Like, 

[00:23:26] Brad: figure it out son. 

[00:23:27] Chris: I’m like, no, I gotta climb on the counter, man. He’s like, he’s like, if I were to give you a dollar right now, would you figure out how to get that plate? And I’m like, yeah.

[00:23:34] Chris: He’s like, so do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, okay, good. And so that’s kind of how like it was just installed in me. Mm-hmm. Just figured out, figured out, figured out. And so yeah, like, yeah. ‘

[00:23:43] Aaron: cause you’re not gonna be there forever. Yeah. I mean, that is a, 

[00:23:46] Chris: and so like my mom, like whenever, like when I was younger, whenever I had like, I’d have problems or like I would, you know.

[00:23:52] Chris: Like, there was one time I, I wanted to quit gymnastics. I wish I never did, honestly, I truly believe I would’ve been like in the Olympics in [00:24:00] gymnastics. I was good at gymnastics, like, at a really young age, but I got scared. And so I was like, Hey mom, I want to quit. I was in third grade, I’m like, Hey mom, I want to quit.

[00:24:09] Chris: She’s like, don’t tell me, tell the coach. And I was like, wow. Well mom, like I don’t want to. And so she, she’s like, no. Like I’m not the coach. Yeah, 

[00:24:17] Aaron: yeah. 

[00:24:18] Chris: Go tell the coach, dude. So here I am, like, coach, I’m sorry. I don’t wanna do this anymore. You know, like it was the scariest thing in the world. And he was like, ah, it’s all good.

[00:24:26] Chris: You know? So like that’s how everything was handled. 

[00:24:28] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:24:29] Chris: Um, for me and also my sisters, but I obviously got it the worst ’cause I did the most. Right, right, right, right. So like, um, uh, and so, yeah, so, so yeah, in the drunk tank. And I know we gotta be super quick with this man. ’cause I keep talking about this.

[00:24:42] Aaron: No, no, it’s all good. I asked about it, bro. I 

[00:24:44] Chris: like it. Anyways, long story short, long story short, I like the dog tank. I got double cuffed to the thing ’cause I was trying to the, the, the 

[00:24:51] Aaron: He was trying to get at it. 

[00:24:52] Chris: No, dude, it was uncomfortable, bro. Oh, I really, okay, 

[00:24:55] Aaron: okay. 

[00:24:55] Chris: And so I’m like, dude, and he came 

[00:24:56] Brad: in and both, 

[00:24:57] Chris: he double bolted me to it, dude.[00:25:00] 

[00:25:00] Chris: And I’m like, Hey, can I get some water, dude? And he gives a dixie cup of water, bro. How did you drink it? Well, I, it was, this was before he double cup. Oh, okay. But I drank it and I’m like, can I get more? And he was like, no. And I’m like, 

[00:25:10] Aaron: figure it out. 

[00:25:11] Chris: The what? If you had to, what if you had to like take a piss or something, bro?

[00:25:15] Chris: I don’t know dude. I don’t know, dude. It was just 

[00:25:17] Aaron: fine, fine, 

[00:25:18] Chris: fine. But anyway, so 

[00:25:18] Aaron: then, but, but then like at the end of the day, after that, you’re like. Did you decide like that I’m not gonna go back here again? Or, or like, was that part No. Okay. 

[00:25:26] Chris: No, I’m coming back here. I, I relapsed. 

[00:25:28] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:25:28] Chris: Yeah, I did. Yeah. So like, I, I did my probation.

[00:25:31] Chris: That cleaned me up, actually, during that probation is when I found Scientology. 

[00:25:34] Aaron: Oh. 

[00:25:35] Chris: Because I was, I, I, I, I, I didn’t have any friends. I lost all my friends. I didn’t, I was, I was actually, uh, jobless. Mm-hmm. I didn’t have a job ’cause I got fired and I had a broken thing and everything was all up. 

[00:25:45] Brad: Mm-hmm.

[00:25:46] Chris: Right. So, um. And I couldn’t do drugs. Right. So, uh, I was unemployed so all I did all day was read and play video games. 

[00:25:54] Brad: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 

[00:25:54] Chris: Right? And so I started reading books, think You Grow Rich Seller, be Sold, like all these books. [00:26:00] I had like, dude, if you go to my house in Erie, I have a full stack of books, like a bookshelf this high full of books that I read.

[00:26:07] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:26:07] Chris: You know, I was reading like a book a week ’cause I just was gathering, trying to find information. Mm-hmm. And so, um, grant Cardone did a post online and he was like, Hey man, I read this book dietetics five times. You guys should read it. And this was in 2018. And I’m like, dude, this guy reading this book, he’s successful guy, I’m gonna buy it.

[00:26:26] Chris: Right? Mm-hmm. I don’t know what a dtic is. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I’m like, it’s a big ass book. I’m probably not gonna read it anyways. Right. 

[00:26:33] Brad: That’s maybe the best quote I’ve ever heard. I don’t know what a dtic is. 

[00:26:36] Chris: Yeah. I was like, I 

[00:26:37] Brad: love that 

[00:26:37] Chris: you want a great book. No, for real. I’m like, what the hell is this book?

[00:26:40] Chris: Right. Yeah. So I’m like, I tell my, my girlfriend at the time, my ex-girlfriend. Now I was like, Hey, I’m gonna buy this book. And she, she looks at it and, uh, you know, if their family sees this, I hope she, they don’t get mad Uhhuh, but, uh, uh, I don’t think they will. But she goes, don’t buy that book. And I’m like, what do you mean?

[00:26:59] Chris: She’s like, [00:27:00] don’t buy that book. If you buy that book, I’m breaking up with you. And I was like, it’s a book. Yeah. What the hell is this? She’s like, no, you can’t buy it. You don’t do it. It’s wrong. It’s bad. It’s a bad book. 

[00:27:12] Brad: Uh, 

[00:27:12] Chris: right. 

[00:27:12] Brad: Wait, why 

[00:27:13] Chris: dude? Far some Scientology shit, dude. You know, like, I don’t know, bad data, whatever.

[00:27:18] Chris: I don’t know. She’s just like, don’t buy the book. That’s crazy. Right. She’s like, no, L Ron Hubbard, this blah, blah, blah. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I’m like. It’s a book. Like, 

[00:27:26] Brad: wow, 

[00:27:26] Chris: it’s just a book. 

[00:27:27] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:27:28] Chris: And she’s like, if you buy it, I’m breaking up with you. And I’m like, 

[00:27:31] Brad: that’s so 

[00:27:31] Chris: insane. Whatever. I won’t buy the book.

[00:27:32] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:27:33] Chris: Oh, right. So I didn’t buy the book. Right. 

[00:27:35] Brad: Dude, I 

[00:27:36] Chris: didn’t buy, 

[00:27:36] Brad: I totally thought that story was going in a 

[00:27:38] Chris: different direction. Knowing you. It’s a book like, okay, if you’re gonna break up with me over a book, like I’m just not gonna buy the book, whatever. Mm-hmm. You know what I was, uh, instead of saying like, are 

[00:27:44] Aaron: you’re insane?

[00:27:46] Aaron: Why? Like, what, what’s wrong with you? You’re like, well, who cares about the book? It’s, you know, I reacted in this, I reacted in a similar way. Did in high school. 

[00:27:51] Brad: Similar. Similar-ish. 

[00:27:52] Aaron: Not the same, but, okay. Sorry. 

[00:27:53] Chris: Yeah. And so then, and so then I never bought the book, but then I was looking up the book and the, all the stuff about [00:28:00] Scientology and all that stuff, and I was just going heavy into YouTube, all the, the bad data, like all of the war stuff.

[00:28:08] Chris: And there’s just the worst stuff you could possibly see. Mm-hmm. I watched everything. 

[00:28:12] Aaron: Yep. Yep. 

[00:28:12] Chris: Right. And uh, you know, like if you just work, look up the worst videos online of what Scientology is, whatever. Everything is gonna be bad. 

[00:28:21] Aaron: Yep. 

[00:28:21] Chris: It’s all gonna be bad information. And I’ve been, I’ve always, I’m always a big conspiracy guy, right?

[00:28:25] Chris: Mm-hmm. So I love conspiracies, like the nine 11 stuff, you know, Pentagon, CIA, like, all that. Like I’m really into that stuff. Yeah. So when I found out about Scientology, I was like, oh dude, let me look into this. Like, let me dig into this. Right? And then, you know, there’s like crazy stories about this and that, and this happens.

[00:28:42] Chris: That happens. And then after watching like probably, I don’t know, seven hours of videos over a span of a week or so. 

[00:28:50] Brad: Yeah, yeah. 

[00:28:51] Chris: I’m looking at it, I’m just like, bro, like if all this was true, bro, they would be raid and shut down by the feds. 

[00:28:56] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:28:56] Chris: Yeah. And then I was like, oh, garbage, whatever, turned it [00:29:00] off.

[00:29:00] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:29:00] Chris: And then, you know, never crossed my mind. And then, uh, what actually stopped me doing drugs and partying was moving to Miami and uh, and working for Grant. Oh, that’s what expected. Yeah. 

[00:29:11] Brad: You think it would be the exact opposite? 

[00:29:12] Chris: Yeah. So, so like, so like all the way up until I was like, Hey man, I’m gonna work for Grant.

[00:29:17] Chris: So your 

[00:29:17] Aaron: so girlfriend said, Hey. Don’t buy Dianetics, do whatever, but you finish your probation. And then what happened? You, 

[00:29:22] Chris: we broke up in, uh, may of 2020. 

[00:29:24] Aaron: Okay. 

[00:29:24] Chris: So we broke up and then, um, I went on another wrong path of just partying and stuff like that. You know, the same stuff I was doing when I was 18.

[00:29:33] Chris: Mm-hmm. And, uh, and then, you know, I saw Grant post a video online, and this was mid COVID. 

[00:29:39] Brad: Mm. 

[00:29:40] Chris: He said, Hey man, I’m hiring. And I was like, I looked at my boy, shout out to Tony Deo. He’s the man, uh, I love him to death. He actually lives in Clearwater too as well right now. Yeah. Great guy. Phenomenal guy. Oh, that’s, yeah.

[00:29:51] Chris: Great guy. And we were roommates at the time, right? 

[00:29:54] Aaron: Wow. In Pennsylvania or in,

[00:32:05] Chris: And he had his assistant like, drag me out. I was like, where’s the HR person? She’s like, oh, she’s over there, but she’s probably busy. I was like, well, let’s go find out. 

[00:32:12] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:32:12] Chris: And she’s like, well, like, no, we’ll just give you a text or email. I’m like, dude, once she says that I’m cooked.

[00:32:24] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:32:24] Chris: And I walked in, sat down with the HR person, close the deal. Yeah. Close the deal. She’s like, when can you start? I was like, few weeks, let’s go.

[00:32:32] Chris: Wow. And then I started, and then, you know, 30 million later and, you know, hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of thousands of calls later, you know, changed myself into a completely new man. And, uh, 2021 found Scientology. Took it all the way, dude. And it, it really inspired me actually to start my own business was Scientology.

[00:32:50] Aaron: That’s amazing. Yeah. No, wait, wait. So we talked earlier. Did I need to, I need to get, 

[00:32:53] Chris: I know we went really long in that, that story there. We went really long. But that’s really, that’s about, that’s about, that’s a lot. 

[00:32:59] Aaron: [00:33:00] Um, first of all, I would say, I, I, I’ll just comment upon the, the grant thing, or at his office is like.

[00:33:08] Aaron: Persistence. Right. You’re being, you’re gonna be told no so many times in sales, right? You’re gonna be told No, no, no, no. Over and over. But if you could get past the no and ask again. Yeah. Isn’t that what sales is all about? 

[00:33:19] Chris: It’s all it is, man. That’s right’s be sold. That’s 

[00:33:21] Aaron: right. So, yeah. So at the end of the day, you know, no, in your face flying down, no, no, no million, like a bunch of times.

[00:33:26] Aaron: Then you’re like, let’s, let’s find another opening. The other thing is I, that’s a lesson. No, I mean, that’s right. Yeah. If I’m hr, I’ll be like, all right, let’s try this guy. Right? Yeah. 

[00:33:33] Chris: That’s right. That’s right. Yeah. And I’m thinking to myself, I’m like, dude, what’s the worst thing that could happen? 

[00:33:36] Aaron: Yeah, exactly.

[00:33:37] Chris: I only have one shot at this anyways, right? Mm-hmm. And he made, if they kick me out, then I’m not gonna get the job anyways. Yeah. So I’m, it’s not like I live here. Go for broke. Yeah, dude. Yeah. I flew down three times. I’ve literally spent like six grand.

[00:34:33] Brad: until I 

[00:34:33] Chris: got the job. 

[00:34:33] Brad: You can tell we’re not managers ’cause the manager’s gonna be like back flip on a snowboard, but as a business owner will be like back flip on a snow 

[00:34:38] Aaron: snowboard.

[00:34:39] Aaron: What that means. It means you can achieve stuff, bro. What it means you’re, you have some dedication to some persistence. 

[00:34:42] Brad: I mean, yeah. Yeah. 

[00:34:43] Aaron: If you could do a a, a back flip on a snowboard, bro. And you want a job in my office, bro, come on in. Call, call me. Send me a message on Facebook or something. I will likely, I’ll give you at this an interview because that’s amazing.

[00:35:10] Aaron: You had like a bad day. I forgot. Exactly. 

[00:35:12] Chris: You got, oh, yeah, we were talking about that. What 

[00:35:13] Aaron: happens, bro? 

[00:35:14] Chris: Yeah. So what happened was is I was about to get, I was like on my way out. Right, right. 

[00:35:17] Aaron: So the first year credit you, you were terrible, right? Yeah. Because the 

[00:35:19] Brad: first 

[00:35:19] Aaron: couple 

[00:35:19] Chris: months. Yeah, the first year you meet out, it was, it was like this, it was like up and then down.

[00:35:22] Brad: 90 day phenomenon. 

[00:35:23] Chris: Mm-hmm. Yep. Exactly. Yeah. 

[00:35:24] Brad: Right. And you know, like, you know, I was just going, whatever. That’s the 

[00:35:29] Chris: first 

[00:35:29] Brad: like six months. Huh? Just to explain, like, there’s a thing in sales that’s, it’s just a known date and Grant talks about it a lot is that the first 90 days you’ll go boom, affluence, and then at 90 days there’s a weird thing where people would just crash out.

[00:35:40] Aaron: I never heard of this. 

[00:35:41] Brad: Yeah, yeah. It’s a thing. Okay, fine. Ation. It’s a real, it’s a real thing. 

[00:35:44] Chris: It is a real thing. And so, yeah, I was, uh, what was it like July time, around July and I was, um, you know, I was doing pretty well there. In March. I made like 13 grand. Mm-hmm. Like, I thought I was about to cry. ’cause like I’ve never made 13 grand in a month, ever.

[00:35:58] Chris: I was like. Oh my [00:36:00] God. $13,000 just got deposited in my bank account. I was like, what do I do? Right. 

[00:36:03] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:36:04] Chris: And then after that, spend it 

[00:36:05] Aaron: all. 

[00:36:05] Chris: Yeah. And then after that, uh, you know, then it went down and down and down and down and down. Mm-hmm. And I just kept getting emails like, Hey, red Alert, red Alert, red Alert stats down.

[00:36:14] Chris: Then I’m like, dude, I’m about to get cooked right now. 

[00:36:17] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:36:18] Chris: Like, bro, I, I am not moving back to Erie, Pennsylvania, bro, that, bro, I am not going back home telling my family it didn’t work out. And have them create all the justifications on why it didn’t.

[00:36:32] Brad: wow. You’re so, you were, you didn’t want them to say, it’s okay, it’s okay.

[00:36:36] Brad: You didn’t make it, Chris. 

[00:36:37] Chris: Yeah, dude. That’s what you’re worried about. You can come My biggest, my biggest concern, my biggest concern was 

[00:36:42] Aaron: coming live at Mom’s house. 

[00:36:43] Brad: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. 

[00:36:45] Chris: My biggest concern was is, is going back and, and creating reasons on why it didn’t work, and being one of those guys that’s like, you know, I gave it a shot.

[00:36:54] Chris: It didn’t work out. You know, I gave it everything I had just not for me. That dude, I literally [00:37:00] moved here to do it and I don’t give a fuck what it takes. I’m literally gonna make it happen. 

[00:37:05] Aaron: So you’re not selling anything for a while?

[00:37:16] Chris: huh? Yeah. 

[00:37:16] Aaron: So then, so then, so then, 

[00:37:18] Chris: so then, so then I’m Dr. I’m going for a run. Right. And I’ll reenact it and, uh, I’m going for a run. ’cause I was like, dude, I need to like get my space out, bro. ’cause I read all these books, I’m looking for information and like, I’m just like, oh, right.

[00:37:45] Aaron: No, you said it way more strong last time, bro. 

[00:37:47] Chris: I need to change.

[00:37:49] Chris: Okay. I was screaming. I was literally scream. I You scream physically

And I was like, sure. What’s it about? Like I’ve heard a little bit about it. Mm-hmm. Right? And I knew some of the people at the office did it, whatever.

[00:38:35] Chris: And so I’m like, oh, like whatever. I read all this stuff, listened to all this stuff. I was like, sure, why not information? Who cares? And I was like, I was like, yeah, sure. What’s it about? He’s like, oh dude, I’m doing this course. I’m like, graphs and stuff, dude. It’s really cool.

[00:38:49] Chris: He’s like, oh, it’s 50 bucks. I’m like, cool, you gonna help me make more money? He is like, yeah, I should. I was like, alright, bet. So then the next morning, next morning, it was like me and like three others we just pulled up with like with [00:39:00] Squad did the church, bro. And like I did the whole orientation thing.

[00:39:03] Chris: You know, they did the personality test thing and like, I’m just there. I’m like, dude, I don’t give a fuck any of this. I just wanna buy that horse. Like, I’m literally telling ’em, I’m like, dude, like, like give me like I, I’m literally ready to buy. Just lemme buy this fucking course. Swear to God. They’re like, oh you should do this option.

[00:39:19] Chris: I’m like, no, I don’t want to do this course. I wanna do this staff graph course. They’re like, oh, form of living. I was like, yeah. I was like, gimme the, I don’t care what the name is, gimme the graph course. Graph course. Right. So the first, so the next day I came back, I read it and I was like, yo, this like the first page.

[00:39:36] Chris: I was like, this is everything I’ve been wanting to get for my entire life and I haven’t gotten it and this is it. 

[00:39:41] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:39:41] Chris: And so, you know, then I did life repair and then after Life Repair, boom, I did like 280 grand in a week. Wow. 

[00:39:47] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:39:48] Chris: And after that, dude, it was just fucking lights out bro. After that, it was literally lights out.

[00:39:53] Aaron: Mm. That means that means a good thing, I guess. 

[00:39:54] Chris: Like in a good way. Yeah. It was like lights not normal 

[00:39:56] Aaron: for me to get knocked out. 

[00:39:57] Chris: It was like, it was like game over, like dude was like knocked out the competition. [00:40:00] Like I was locked in forever, like locked in. Like I was dialed. Like I went to work that next morning because, you know, in, in auditing and like in the life repair, like you relieve so many stuff.

[00:40:09] Chris: Mm-hmm. So much stuff. Dude. I walked in the office feeling like a fucking God. I was like, oh my God, that’s, and then that week closed two 80 next week, like 1 28. And then after that, dude I was making 20, 30 KA month. 

[00:40:20] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:40:21] Chris: It was incredible. 

[00:40:22] Aaron: And that’s your money? That’s not sales. 

[00:40:24] Chris: No, that’s my money. That’s your money?

[00:40:25] Chris: Yeah. That’s income. Yeah. 

[00:40:26] Aaron: So. Now I wanna 

[00:40:28] Chris: talk about this, but it does take a lot of work. Like you could do Scientology, but not apply it. 

[00:40:32] Aaron: Yeah, of course. 

[00:40:33] Chris: And get nothing and, and still get no result. That’s right. Course. You know, but you have to apply it. Mm-hmm. And so what I did really well is I applied it, I didn’t just study it just to study it 

[00:40:42] Brad: mm-hmm.

[00:40:42] Chris: Or do it just to do it. I, I did it for an intention to get better. 

[00:40:46] Brad: Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

[00:40:47] Chris: And so I was like, okay, I’m gonna take every single dollar that I have in here as an investment in myself, and use every single penny and apply everything I can. 

[00:40:55] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:40:57] Chris: What’s the worst that could happen? 

[00:40:58] Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. [00:41:00] So it, I wanna, like, now there’s two things, right?

[00:41:03] Aaron: So you said like, good, you did like formulas for a living course. Okay. And then you did life repair. And so life repair is a spiritual address to yourself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. To find more of you and repair, obviously, your life. Right? 

[00:41:19] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:41:19] Aaron: And then this formulas for living is like, I mean, I guess it, it also is about your life, but you also has a lot of business applications.

[00:41:26] Aaron: Mm-hmm. What do you think is, is like what made it more, what, what had bigger impact? Like learning one thing life. Yeah. It’s okay. 

[00:41:36] Chris: I would say outta overall the life repair, but honestly, I probably wouldn’t have done the life repair if I didn’t do full meals of living. 

[00:41:42] Aaron: Wow. Wow. 

[00:41:43] Chris: Oh, you know, because like, like, like if someone told me like, oh, you know, do this and mm-hmm.

[00:41:48] Chris: It will help you, I’d be like, there’s, I don’t have any wins yet. 

[00:41:53] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:41:53] Chris: You know, I’m like, 

[00:41:54] Brad: oh, wow. 

[00:41:55] Chris: Okay. So like, whenever I help, whenever I get people into, you know, [00:42:00] Scientology and they’re like doing a course, you know, I like, I could just do it from my viewpoint. Like, Hey dude, do a course, bro. Just do a $50 course, man.

[00:42:08] Chris: Just do it. 

[00:42:08] Brad: Let me ask you a question. 

[00:42:09] Chris: See if you can see if you can finish it. Yeah. First, 

[00:42:12] Brad: yeah. Yeah. 

[00:42:12] Chris: Just finish it. Tell me what you feel like after you finished the course. Mm-hmm. Everything will change. 

[00:42:18] Brad: Chris, I have a question about something you just said. You said get people into Scientology. So I also share Scientology with my friends and people.

[00:42:24] Brad: I think it’ll help. Why do you share Scientology with people? 

[00:42:28] Chris: Dude, because it’s, it, it helped me so much and like it’d be wrong for me not to share it with people. 

[00:42:33] Brad: Wow. 

[00:42:33] Chris: Like some people I know they are Scientologists and they hide it and they’re like, oh, they don’t wanna make it public. Or they think they think it’s weird or whatever.

[00:42:41] Chris: Like they don’t wanna get like offended or whatever. Dude, I don’t give a fuck, bro. I’ll fucking post that. My social media good, you know? Yeah. I get fired for it. You 

[00:42:50] Brad: do a lot. Yeah. You fuss about it a lot. 

[00:42:52] Chris: I don’t give a fuck, dude. I love that, bro. Who cares? 

[00:42:55] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:42:56] Chris: It’s planet Earth. You know what, like what’s the worst thing that happen?

[00:42:59] Chris: They [00:43:00] unfollow me. Cool. 

[00:43:02] Aaron: You’re gonna be heartbroken. 

[00:43:03] Chris: Yeah. Wow. Good for you, man. I don’t care about any backlash that I get for being a Scientologist. Mm-hmm. Because if you’re scared to promote being a Scientologist, there’s something that you’re doing is wrong. 

[00:43:15] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:43:15] Chris: Like, it’s just true. Like, you should not be afraid to be who you are.

[00:43:19] Aaron: Yep. 

[00:43:20] Chris: It doesn’t matter. Like Christians are happy to be Christians, Muslims are happy to be Hus. Muslims like Jew people are happy to be Jews. Black people are black, white people are white. Whatever, dude, you’re gonna hide being a black person. No. Mm-hmm. Dude, you just, you’re just you. And then you die. And then guess what?

[00:43:38] Chris: You, you get up the next game. You, you know, you get up, you get up another time, whatever, whatever you believe in, you know, you get up again. Right. But like, you know, I’ve just, dude, recently I’ve been on this thing of like, dude, every, like, it really doesn’t matter what we do on this earth. It, it just matters like what kind of impact you have.

[00:43:53] Chris: And so, um. That’s why I share it. And so I post a lot about it on social media, and I’ve had people not wanna work with [00:44:00] me because I’m a Scientologist. You know, I’ve had people, you know, wanna, you know, I’ve had people say like, oh, don’t work with this guy. Or they’ll label me like, oh yeah. Like, oh yeah, Chris, Chris, the Scientologist guy.

[00:44:12] Chris: Like, you know, I’m like, dude, it’s just weird. Mm-hmm. 

[00:44:14] Aaron: Yeah, it’s 

[00:44:15] Chris: weird. 

[00:44:15] Aaron: It goes back to like, you go back to like Germany, like in the Nazi days, right? Like the people people talk about. I’m so 

[00:44:21] Brad: glad you brought this 

[00:44:22] Aaron: up. Yeah. I, I, I just, I just, I was 

[00:44:23] Brad: totally gonna go here. 

[00:44:25] Aaron: Yeah. So I just wanna say like, there’s people that say, like I, because you’ll talk about it like, oh dude, I don’t know, dude, I, how could people have been that and been so discriminatory and like mm-hmm.

[00:44:36] Aaron: How could just, some people have joined Nazis. Dude, there was a lot of Nazis. 

[00:44:38] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:44:38] Aaron: A lot of Nazis, a lots. And they’re like, I will never, not, not just in 

[00:44:41] Brad: Germany, by the way, 

[00:44:42] Aaron: everywhere like this, this thing spread. And so people sometimes will say like this, like purchasing, like, oh my gosh, how could this happen?

[00:44:49] Aaron: But then they go, oh, what about, what are you doing today? 

[00:44:51] Mm-hmm. 

[00:44:52] Aaron: Because guess what? This is not a, right now, there’s that type that like discrimination takes on other forms. 

[00:44:59] Brad: Yeah, that’s [00:45:00] right. 

[00:45:00] Aaron: Right. So like, if you are gonna be like such a high moral, such a great person, like what are you doing now to end discrimination Whatcha doing now to like, defend people’s rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of whatever, freedom to move, freedom to play, freedom to work.

[00:45:15] Aaron: Mm-hmm. Like, what are you doing now for that? Are you, are you defending people’s rights when they, when they get their, their jobs taken away from them because they won’t bend the knee or do whatever? 

[00:45:22] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:45:23] Aaron: So it’s like the, now it’s just different types. Mm-hmm. But a lot of people today, they would’ve fallen that back then.

[00:45:30] Aaron: Yeah. Right. Those guys, like, you can’t work with him because, uh, he’s a Christian or you can’t, oh, how could you work with that guy? He’s a whatever. Right. And my, like, those are the guys who if they were born another time Yeah. They’ll, that those guys would be the Nazis. 

[00:45:43] Brad: Yeah, that’s true. 

[00:45:44] Aaron: Just, just saying.

[00:45:44] Brad: And so, yeah. And so my Don’t be a Nazi. Yeah. Don’t be a Nazi. 

[00:45:48] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:45:48] Brad: It’s so funny ’cause it’s not Nazis. Anyways, we’ll keep, we’ll keep it, we’ll keep it, we’ll keep it Cus word Nazis. One. One other thing, one other thing I wanted to point out, Chris, is you, you went down the rabbit hole of, you know, [00:46:00] unsavory things on the internet.

[00:46:01] Brad: Yeah. Which by the way, if you wanna see all the trash on anybody, just google their name. Dude. Go. Google is basically a garbage dump at this point. It 

[00:46:08] Aaron: is 

[00:46:09] Brad: bad 

[00:46:09] Aaron: data. 

[00:46:09] Brad: Yeah. For almost anything. By the way. 

[00:46:11] Aaron: You gotta get it 

[00:46:11] Brad: straight from source Wiki, Wikipedia as well. Like, 

[00:46:14] Aaron: Wikipedia’s the worst. 

[00:46:15] Brad: Yeah. Wikipedia’s arguably worse than Google.

[00:46:17] Brad: So anyways, uh, the thing that I wanted to actually validate you on is like, you you looked at that, uh, ’cause in, in all transparency, I went down that road as well. When I was first looking at Scientology, I was like, let me get more information. You get scared. And then I started looking and I was like, well, I didn’t get scared.

[00:46:31] Brad: I’m not scared of anything. I know, but like, you’re like 

[00:46:33] Chris: internally dude, you’re like going through a dark hole. Like 

[00:46:35] Brad: Yeah. It’s just like anything man. For me, for me it was like, I, I actually started with hey. I actually wanna see what other people have to say about this. That’s part of the reason we’re doing this in the first place, by the way.

[00:46:45] Brad: Yeah. Is like, what do people have to say about our religion? Like our own people? What do we have to say about it? Um, and that’s what I wanted. And what I found was that like nasty stuff, like just, just like, and I could tell, like I’ve always been [00:47:00] very aware of like what, at what level, you know, I may call it wavelength or whatever, but there’s like an an awareness of what level are people communicating at?

[00:47:07] Brad: Is it up here and it’s really positive and like pro survival or is it really nasty and negative and like death talk. Right. And so I was like, wow, these people like, who are like not, or like basically anti Scientologists, they’re like death talk. They’re like talking in the tone of like, it’s brutal. Like just nasty stuff.

[00:47:24] Brad: And I saw that and I was like, that’s weird. I was like, that actually made me, and then I found like mainstream media is kind of like aligned itself, not with the church ’cause it’s a pro thing. And I’m like, these are all now I want it now I want it more. Yeah, I want to know what it’s, but I wanted to, I wanted to validate you for, for going down that and then being able, aware enough to say this is probably not a good source of information.

[00:47:46] Brad: ’cause what I would liken it to, and I was glad you brought up the Nazi thing, is like, imagine you go back to the 19, like 1939, right? And you go into Nazi Germany and you ask one of Hitler’s top [00:48:00] officials, Hey, what do you think about Judaism? I’m thinking about becoming a Jew. What kind of an answer are you gonna get from that individual?

[00:48:07] Brad: Individual? 

[00:48:08] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:48:08] Brad: You’re probably gonna get killed for even thinking about it. Exactly, but you’re definitely not gonna get a fair answer. The people who go online looking at the, the, there’s like, you know, a, a couple wackos, getting information from them about Scientology is literally like asking Hitler how you should think about being a Jew.

[00:48:28] Brad: It’s literally the same. And historically they’re very similar, historic. Historically this will be proven true historically that will be proven. So in a hundred years, great grandchildren. 

[00:48:38] Aaron: I just have to say it’s a good job. It’s very true. Good job. It’s very true. Very true. I wanna say I, I dunno if you guys have seen, but, uh, there’s, um, there’s a movie.

[00:48:46] Aaron: I’m gonna see if I remember the name. I think it’s called like Swing Kids or Swing something. It was like these, it was a great Mo did, I’m gonna have to find this movie. Okay. But, um, you seen 

[00:48:53] Brad: a footloose, 

[00:48:54] Aaron: nah, dude, it was about these guys, but they were dancing and it was like, not like that, [00:49:00] dude, come on B bro.

[00:49:00] Aaron: You’re describing 

[00:49:01] Brad: Footloose. 

[00:49:01] Aaron: Okay. No, no, no, no. Anyway, they’re in Nazi Germany, right. And they have like these swing clubs. They’re dancing the swing dance. Okay. And Footloose is not about that, dude. 

[00:49:10] Brad: No. It’s just 

[00:49:10] Aaron: so, no, not even close. 

[00:49:11] Brad: You’re right, you’re right. Fine. You’re right. 

[00:49:12] Aaron: The point is, they, they share a video, which I think was a, probably a true video of like, what is a Jew?

[00:49:19] Aaron: Right. And the actual show, like a film that, it’s like if you see a Jew, you know, their eyes shine in a certain way and they have the big nose and, and it’s like, and this is how you treat, like, it has this whole like thing of like, this is what will happen. Mm-hmm. And funny enough, like some of these guys all say that like.

[00:49:37] Aaron: You see the Scientologists or you see the Christian and or whatever, like mm-hmm. A Mormon. Yeah. The Mormons are always a big smile, whatever, like, whatever the thing is. 

[00:49:46] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:49:46] Aaron: But they’re gonna teach you to not see what you see and to see what they tell you to see. That’s 

[00:49:51] Chris: right. 

[00:49:51] Aaron: That’s the key. The key point is like, instead of like, for yourself.

[00:49:55] Aaron: Yeah. The point is like, instead of look for yourself and be like, dude, if I wanna know [00:50:00] about, uh, whatever, what Muslims believe mm-hmm. You go into the mosque and you’re like, dude, tell me what do you believe? 

[00:50:07] Chris: Mm-hmm. 

[00:50:07] Aaron: What, how can I use this for my life? Like mm-hmm. Teach me. 

[00:50:11] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:50:12] Aaron: And that’s how you’re gonna learn.

[00:50:13] Aaron: And if you go to like, I don’t know, go to the internet and, and, and ask some random person who literally makes money off attacking these guys. That’s right. You’re gonna get garbage. And so the point is, is like the, the overall message of these guys is like, don’t go and don’t look because I will tell you so you don’t have to.

[00:50:29] Aaron: And therefore that’s actually what prejudice is. Prejudice. Judas means to Judge Perez before. To judge. Before, 

[00:50:37] Brad: yeah. 

[00:50:37] Aaron: So to judge something before you even see it. 

[00:50:39] Brad: That’s right. 

[00:50:40] Aaron: Okay, good. That’s all 

[00:50:43] Brad: we got an intellectual on the show today. Yeah, 

[00:50:45] Aaron: I 

[00:50:46] Brad: like this. It’s very true. In good, in good direction, 

[00:50:48] Aaron: bro. So I want you to tell me now, like, good, so you’re, you found Scientology, you did life repair, your sales are going better than ever.

[00:50:57] Aaron: What other, like, how did your life [00:51:00] evolve from then? 

[00:51:02] Chris: Oh, just about everything, man. Yeah. Honestly, dude, like everything, like my family, with my family, with my people, that I have my, like trust myself, my decisions. Um, 

[00:51:16] Brad: can 

[00:51:17] Chris: ask business. 

[00:51:18] Brad: Can I ask what, what did you notice with your family? Because I noticed that when I, 

[00:51:22] Chris: bro, I didn’t 

[00:51:22] Brad: talk to 

[00:51:23] Chris: them.

[00:51:23] Brad: Yeah, yeah. Okay, 

[00:51:24] Chris: good. Yeah. So I always had a problem where I wouldn’t talk to them. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Where I’d just be focused on working. Mm-hmm. So instead of talking to ’em, I’d be like, guys, I can’t talk to you. I have to work. 

[00:51:32] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:51:33] Chris: I have to work, I have to work, I have to work, I have to work it just like I have to work.

[00:51:37] Chris: Right. Yeah. Which is good. But like, you know, like my family would text me or call me and I’d be like, Hey, like, what’s up? Like, good, okay, good bye. And I’m working, working, working, working, working. Right. But then in Scientology, I through, as I was doing the courses. Introduction courses, life repair, other auditing, like, I’m like, dude, like bro, like my, my family [00:52:00] actually just cares about me, dude.

[00:52:01] Chris: Mm-hmm. Like I’m, I’ve always like, I’m always the outsider, right? Mm-hmm. So anytime I do something, it usually brings in about 30 to 40 questions from my family on what I’m doing, just because of, like, I just live a very different life. Mm-hmm. You know, not saying I’m like, but I just do, like, I just make decisions fast.

[00:52:19] Chris: I usually make wild decisions that make sense to me mm-hmm. That the normal person just may not be able to comprehend. 

[00:52:26] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:52:27] Chris: And so, 

[00:52:27] Brad: and you’re good at taking time out things as well. 

[00:52:29] Chris: Yeah. I just make a decision is so weird to do. Like, shout out to my boy Caleb, you know, like, dude, he made a decision, he moved over here.

[00:52:35] Chris: He was like, yo, I’m quitting my job. I’m working for you. I said, done, let’s go. No, no time. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Like, let’s go right now. He’s like, I’m move in by the end of the month. Like, how can we do it this week? 

[00:52:44] Brad: Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

[00:52:44] Chris: Right. Like, how can we get this done right now, dude? Yeah. You know? And so, um. That’s another thing, like right now Yeah.

[00:52:51] Chris: Like making decisions fast. Yeah. That’s a whole nother thing. But with the family thing, it’s helped me out a lot. Right. And because like, you know, like I said, like now I run a business, you [00:53:00] know, multiple responsibilities. And that also when I left Erie and then went to Miami and then for like a year or so, and then I came back.

[00:53:10] Chris: Right. And then I don’t see ’em that often. ’cause I’m down here, whenever I come back, it’s like, it, it’s getting better now. But this is just in my eyes that they just don’t, they don’t, they don’t see what I do every day. 

[00:53:26] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:53:27] Chris: And so they, they may think of me as like the, the kid that I was. 

[00:53:30] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:53:31] Chris: Right.

[00:53:31] Chris: But they don’t know that I’m, you know, working 18 hour days. They may know it, but they just don’t see it. Right. And so, like in my world, like, like whatever, spend 10 grand on this or five grand on that, or do this travel here, travel there, bang. You know, like get engaged within five days. Like, dude, like, you know, like all these crazy things, right?

[00:53:52] Chris: Like, okay, 

[00:53:52] Brad: explain that. 

[00:53:53] Chris: You know, like, dude, I just made the decision. 

[00:53:55] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:53:55] Chris: I made the decision to do it. I was like, okay, let’s do it. And she was like, let’s do it. And if she [00:54:00] was uncertain, I’d probably be like, okay. Not the right one. 

[00:54:02] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:54:02] Chris: I don’t know. Yeah. You know, like, dude, I wanna move fast, bro. I don’t need to spend two years just to make a decision, dude.

[00:54:08] Chris: Yeah. Like, what are we waiting for? 

[00:54:10] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:54:10] Chris: And so, uh, and so, uh, yeah, like helping out with that dude. ’cause that was, that was a huge thing. ’cause whenever they, they’d ask me questions, I’d get pissed off. I’m like, guys, like, stop asking me so many freaking questions. 

[00:54:22] Brad: Mm-hmm. 

[00:54:23] Chris: I like, I’m okay. Like I’m totally okay.

[00:54:26] Chris: I got this right. Yeah. And so I get mad. Just that the only reason why is ’cause they just, I just didn’t give ’em enough data to understand fully. 

[00:54:34] Aaron: Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

[00:54:35] Chris: On what I’m actually doing and why I did the decision or why this and why that. So 

[00:54:38] Aaron: when you left, when you left Erie to like just go work somewhere originally that was a problem with their family, like to move out or No, 

[00:54:44] Chris: no.

[00:54:45] Chris: It wasn’t a problem with my family to move out. It’s just the things I was doing, the partying, the drugs, 

[00:54:50] Aaron: smoking. Oh 

[00:54:50] Chris: yeah, yeah. Smoking, you know, all that stuff. Yeah. Right. Being unreliable. Mm-hmm. Being high all the time, you know, 

[00:54:57] Brad: being unreliable. What a what a what a [00:55:00] great thing to point out as like a thing which can ruin a person.

[00:55:03] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:55:03] Brad: You know? 

[00:55:04] Chris: Oh yeah. It was, it was, it was worse. Wow. It was, it’s the, it’s the worst thing in the world. My mom. Mm-hmm. My mom told me this once as I was in high school and I was doing a bunch of drugs and stuff, and then, you know, I, whatever get grounded or whatever. And then she’d be like, you have to earn your trust back.

[00:55:17] Chris: And I’m like, mom, like I got like, whatever it was, I don’t remember what it was for specifically, but let’s just say it was a task and she wanted to leave and like, stay home with me or whatever. I’m like, mom, like. Trust me. Like, please, like I’ll do this. Mm-hmm. And she’s like, I don’t trust you. Yeah. And I’m like, you don’t trust me.

[00:55:34] Chris: She’s like, no. And obviously she does, but she’s just testing me, right? 

[00:55:39] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:55:39] Chris: She’s like, no, I don’t trust you. Why would I trust you? You lie to me every day. You lie about this, you lie about this, you do this, you do that. You do this. Why? Why would I? Why would anybody trust you to do anything? 

[00:55:51] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:55:52] Chris: And I’m like, oh God.

[00:55:55] Chris: I’m like, dude. And then I had to earn trust. Mm-hmm. From my mom. 

[00:55:59] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:55:59] Chris: From [00:56:00] my own mom. 

[00:56:00] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:56:01] Chris: Like bro, like brutal. 

[00:56:03] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:56:03] Chris: But it was good. 

[00:56:05] Brad: Yeah. 

[00:56:05] Chris: Because it was the right thing, you know? And it taught me like, dude, like this is life, dude. She taught me so many life lessons that like I still apply today. 

[00:56:12] Aaron: Mm-hmm.

[00:56:13] Chris: You know? And also a lot of stuff that she was saying actually has a lot to do with Scientology. 

[00:56:17] Aaron: Yep. 

[00:56:17] Chris: You know, like making your own decisions. Right. Having your own integrity. She would always tell me like. Be ethical. Be ethical. Be ethical. Mm-hmm. She would say that like every day. 

[00:56:26] Aaron: Wow. 

[00:56:26] Chris: You know? That’s 

[00:56:26] Brad: amazing.

[00:56:27] Chris: And it’s, Scientology is all about ethics. Oh my 

[00:56:29] Aaron: God. 

[00:56:29] Chris: So it’s just so fucking crazy, bro. Isn’t that? Let’s go. Yeah. 

[00:56:32] Aaron: So you became 

[00:56:33] Chris: reliable. Does that answer 

[00:56:34] Aaron: your question? Huh? Yeah. So you, you be made yourself reliable, so then 

[00:56:37] Chris: you 

[00:56:37] Aaron: let down your family. 

[00:56:38] Chris: Exactly. Yeah. So, you know, tomorrow I’m making, I’m going to, um, I’m going to the, to, to Erie with them.

[00:56:43] Chris: And like, before I was always so embarrassed ’cause like, you know, I make, I make good money, right. It’s just that I just live in a different world. Right. I mean, you guys do too, right? You guys run businesses. Yeah. I’m not sure if you guys’ family make as much money as you guys do, but you know, like Yeah, right.

[00:56:58] Chris: It’s just different. Right. And plus me [00:57:00] being as young as I am and whatever, and then they, 

[00:57:02] Brad: nobody’s family makes as much as Aaron does. 

[00:57:03] Chris: Oh, I’m sure nobody in the world makes as much as, as Aaron does. But, uh, but you know, since I’m so young, right? And everybody else around me is older, right? I’m like this guy that just went from here.

[00:57:16] Chris: To here in like this amount of time, and it’s about to go even crazier. Oh, yeah. 

[00:57:20] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:57:21] Chris: And so before I was just so embarrassed, honestly. 

[00:57:24] Aaron: Embarrassed that you were rich. 

[00:57:25] Chris: Yeah. Embarrassed that I just made more money than everybody. 

[00:57:27] Aaron: Mm. 

[00:57:27] Chris: Literally everyone. Wow. Like I’m, I’m a sales rep. What? I’m 20, 24 years old.

[00:57:31] Chris: I make $400,000 in a year. 

[00:57:33] Aaron: Yeah. 

[00:57:35] Chris: That’s 

[00:57:35] Aaron: insane, dude. I didn’t make any money at time, 

[00:57:36] Chris: you know? Yeah. Neither. Like, I come home and I’m like, you know, like, they’re like, oh, so what you been up to? I’m like, yeah, you know, like working. They’re like, how’s sales? And I’m like, yeah. It’s like pretty, like I tried to downplay it.

[00:57:47] Chris: I’m like, yeah, it’s pretty good. They’re like, yeah, you’re making good money. I’m like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m like, yeah. I’m making about like, I’ll probably make like 400,000 this year. And they’re like, 400,000. They’re like, what do you do with that? I’m like, dude, I don’t [00:58:00] know, dude. Like, I just work, you know?

[00:58:02] Chris: And so it was kind of like embarrassing ’cause I didn’t wanna, I, I was never the guy that got a lot done. I was never the, the, the accomplished guy. I was always the last guy. And then here I am, full circle where I’m the guy that like is doing everything. 

[00:58:17] Aaron: Yep. Mm-hmm. 

[00:58:18] Chris: And so it was hard for me to like, I guess, be comfortable with everybody kind of looking at me.

[00:58:26] Aaron: Mm-hmm. 

[00:58:27] Chris: In like a different way of like, you know, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m just dude, I’m just a normal dude, you know? Yeah. Like, I don’t want to be like, oh, Chris is here, so you know, we have to, 

[00:58:36] Aaron: oh yeah, for sure. 

[00:58:37] Chris: Be you all 

[00:58:37] Aaron: professional, 

[00:58:38] Chris: whatever, you know. But like, yeah, it’s just like, uh, it was just interesting in the beginning, man, you know?

[00:58:43] Chris: But now it’s fine. 

[00:58:44] Brad: That’s beautiful. Going back to the bridge for a second. Yeah. Is okay if we rewind to the bridge for a moment. Ly So, uh, by the way, I don’t mean like Scientology Bridge, I mean like the bridge in Miami 

[00:58:53] Chris: Yeah. 

[00:58:54] Brad: Where you’re running 

[00:58:55] Chris: sunny aisles. Yeah, 

[00:58:56] Brad: yeah, yeah. Sunny aisles. Yeah. And you’re screaming, I need change.

[00:58:58] Brad: Yeah. So some, something that, that [00:59:00] was just hitting me is like, 

[00:59:01] Chris: need to change. 

[00:59:02] Brad: Yeah, bro. Literally. Isn’t that crazy? Yeah. So, uh, maybe we can edit in a, an image of this or something like that. But there there’s, uh, there’s a thing in Scientology, which is like the, the bridge to total freedom. It’s literally the, the activities you do to get more, more of you back, more free 

[00:59:18] Aaron: and more awareness 

[00:59:19] Brad: and more aware.

[00:59:20] Chris: Exactly. 

[00:59:21] Brad: Yeah. And that’s one of the things is one of the things that it shows somebody goes through right before they’re about to start doing the bridge is need, need 

[00:59:29] Chris: to change. 

[00:59:30] Brad: For change. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Need of change. E two change. I don’t dunno what the exact like quote is, need to change, but it’s basically need of change.

[00:59:36] Brad: You’re literally screaming. I’m in need of change. Like this is where I am. Yeah. And then not two hours goes by. Was it within, it was within two hours, right? Yeah. I think that’s, I’m remember, right? Yeah. Yeah. And somebody literally walking invites you to the first step, walking down, you pick him up, he says, Hey, you want to come to the Church of Scientology is so crazy.

[00:59:55] Brad: Like, we Okay. So it was crazy. Yeah. Should talk about, like the phrase, [01:00:00] pulling things in. Can we define that real quick? Whatever you wanted. Yeah. Okay, great. You’re a podcast, bro, so, oh, I love it. So one thing that, that we talk about, like sometimes as Scientologists is like, we, we wanna be responsible destiny.

[01:00:11] Brad: Yeah, yeah. We wanna be responsible for everything that happens, right? And we’re like, okay, how can we be responsible for this? So we use the phrase pull things in a lot, right? Like, oh, I pulled that in, as in, I somehow set things in motion so that that thing would occur in my life. Do you feel like you did that in that situation?

[01:00:26] Chris: Uh, 1000%. I think it was everything that I did prior to that, that built that up too as well. 

[01:00:32] Brad: Mm. 

[01:00:32] Chris: You know, I think it was a lot of great 

[01:00:34] Brad: point.
