Welcome back Another episode of Motivational Mondays here.
Speaker 2:We're fired up. We're ready to go.
Speaker 1:Holy Jesus, the boys are jumping in. We got Cody here. We got Kane here. We got a surprise guest. We'll fix what AKA Bean Boy the bean man himself In the house.
Speaker 2:I never thought I'd see the day that Bean Boy was on a Motivational Monday.
Speaker 4:I know it kind of blows my mind.
Speaker 2:You're on the opposite end of the week, buddy. You got a high viz orange shirt on. Right now. If anyone's working hard, it's this guy. He's dirty, he's in the studio, ready to absolutely go.
Speaker 4:So are you motivated right now? Oh yeah, dude, I'm getting that double time tonight. You best believe it hell, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, boys, uh, I think the three guys sitting on this podcast with me are a lot like me. You know, you're probably not, uh, the strongest like me. You're probably not the strongest guy, you know. You're maybe not the fastest guy, you know, you're probably not the richest guy, you know. But what we all have in common is that drive to continue working, to continue busting our asses every day to get to the goals that we want. And I think that that's the most important part of being successful is there is no secret formula to getting rich, there is no secret formula to getting jacked. It's not science, it's not the world, it's work, and you have to put in the fucking work to get to where you want to be.
Speaker 2:There is a secret formula and it's actually selling beauty products on Instagram. Yeah, and actually, if you hit the link in the bio, you can actually Subscribe now hit the link in the bio, you can actually subscribe now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's actually a really good point because we got bean man on here himself, because beans, for those of you that don't know, does concrete and that has got to be the absolute worst profession that I can think of to do. Day in, day out, you're busting your ass. The guys that are 30 years old doing it look like they're 50 years old. You're taking abuse on your body, on your brain, on your mind. How do you stick through it?
Speaker 4:dude, honestly, secret sauce. I just got the young drive for it. I genuinely like it. A lot of people they don't like it. They're just there for the money and benefits. But I've just kind of been around in my entire life so I don't mind doing it and just kicking ass and making the good money you know.
Speaker 2:Whew.
Speaker 3:Dude, that ties in with last week.
Speaker 2:That ties in with last week's episode. The people that quit too early are doing shit that they just don't like doing.
Speaker 4:I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm young, so I got the drive for it now. But yeah, if I'm 50, I might say otherwise, but then I'm almost retired, you know.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:So you just got to keep that a little drive going, finish all the way. God damn beans you're getting me going right now.
Speaker 2:I've never been this motivated on a monday before beans is so uncomfortable right now. Yeah, okay. So beans you, you love doing concrete. You love the reward of seeing big, big fucking pour just come to fruition from start to finish. What do you think you get, or what kind of advice do you get, from some of the veterans that have been doing it for years and years and years? What is like some of the stuff that they tell you?
Speaker 4:I mean a lot of the older guys. They'll teach you the correct way and like the wrong ways to do things and a lot of time they'll make you fuck up first before they correct you. So that way you learn on your own.
Speaker 2:And then you know what it looks like if you do it that way.
Speaker 4:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And you'll get an ass chewing.
Speaker 3:But I mean, it's all worth it because the ass chewing we get now compared to back then, is not even close to what my boss never eats my ass.
Speaker 2:It's not. It's not an episode with beans unless you give a little little uncomfortable, you know yeah, it's a little uncomfortable yeah, I think I would. I would agree. I think that, like the, the best way is also surrounding yourself in, or I guess the best way to keep it moving is surrounding yourself with people who know what they're doing, and that can teach you how to do things too, because when you're doing things on your own, it definitely makes it a little bit harder to like keep it, keep it pushing I believe so.
Speaker 1:But there's, you know, I've I work blue collar too. So there's them guys. Yeah, but not like will them guys want to tear you down that there's a lot of guys out there.
Speaker 4:That's a good point. I'm not everyone.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of very good teachers, but it can be a very toxic environment where they want to tear you down and if you don't like what you're doing and someone's tearing you down while you're doing it, you're fucked.
Speaker 4:Well, that's a really good point. It's the first test. As soon as you join the new guy on the job, you see all them old guys just fucking harping and harping, and that's if they figure out. All right, is this guy even worth staying, or are we going to break him and he moves on?
Speaker 1:Well, that's exactly what they want to do is find your breaking point, and everyone who's ever worked a real hard blue collar job has hit the breaking point before, because there's a motherfucker there that will get you to that point Really.
Speaker 4:Every company, it don't matter, they fucking keep going, dude, that is how they're wired.
Speaker 1:That's how the guys who have been doing it for 30 years that's the only his point, you know. And if it happens too soon, they're like this guy's a pussy, and if it never happens at all, they're like this guy's a psycho.
Speaker 3:Yeah, right I think, I think hard work is like a lost art these days too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think, about it, man.
Speaker 3:I mean, everybody wants to be instagram famous or tiktok famous and stuff like that, which is cool, dude. I'm not judging anybody for that, but I think, as the generations come up and all they want to do is be like these things that they see online, then who's going to take care of the farms? Who's going to take care of everything that makes like america? America it's going to be fucking computers or like robots and like all the beauty of this country is going to be like ran by retarded ass people. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's, it's very, it's a hidden fucking thing.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Because with me and Will we see hard work every day. But it's very easy to get caught up in the social media aspect of I don't have to fucking do anything and I can make millions. That's not the reality of the world, because you didn't see the work that those people had to go through to get to where they're at. And you don't walk on a concrete job site every day, or you might not walk down a right-of-way every day. You might not walk into a framing crew every day where dudes are fucking hitting it. They're busting their fucking ass every day. That's a real thing that still exists. It's just not glamorized at all.
Speaker 1:It's not shown anymore because everyone thinks that they can just get rich.
Speaker 2:See a lot of it on. Yeah, yeah, a lot of guys just like with a gopro on the job site, you know it's cool. It's cool to see, but it's like damn, that's a lot of extra work now you got to be thinking about where your camera is at while you're doing all this shit too, and where's your foreman pay?
Speaker 4:attention to the job.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man I think david goggin said that too. I think he was talking about like getting like rock hard abs or something right and do was like I don't want to get these overnight because, if I got something overnight, then it's not going to mean anything to me.
Speaker 3:I want to go through the pain and the hardships and a lot of people don't want to go through the hardships of gaining what they want. They want that shit instantly, like a lot of people hit me up hey, kane, what's the best ab workout? Go to the kitchen. Abs happen in the kitchen. Nobody wants to do the diet or stick to the diet right everybody just wants to know how to get big arms and fucking rock hard abs. Well then go smoke some meth dog, because you'll get super skinny. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:But you have to put in the work.
Speaker 3:Solid advice, honestly you have to put in the work dude. You have to stay in the gym but you're saying the fastest route is meth, probably Okay. That's the shortcut. Yeah, you'll lose a lot of weight. You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean.
Speaker 3:That's on easy mode right there. But cody cody started working out with me and now he's instantly in the gym every week, monday through friday. He's in the gym, you know. I mean he's on his diet monday through friday and a lot of people don't get that concept. Like I got a couple people now that are training with me. They'll go to the gym with me, like when they pay me to go to the gym with them, but they won't go to the gym with you. That's fine, but don't start getting mad at me if you're not cutting weight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's just prostitution at that point.
Speaker 3:Pretty much, and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2:No, that's a really good point. Also, they're not getting anything out of it, so they're going to be like the value isn't there. You got to actually put the time in, put the effort in. Yeah, I mean beans. Obviously money's a big reward for doing concrete because you get paid. Obviously, great to do it versus anything else. But what do you think is the other factors that keep you pushing through doing some hard-ass shit?
Speaker 4:I mean, it's just satisfying too at the same time. You know you can see all that work and it's pretty cool. Like I'll be driving down to the cities with some buddies and I'll be like I poured that, that, that, and then just like eventually, like Heiderberger just asked me and my dad to do a bid for some concrete down there. Now, if we do that, I can tell Baird in 15 years, when he's old enough to be like that's what I port. Ain't that pretty cool?
Speaker 1:It's just the beauty and joy of it Hard work, and especially construction, is an art without an audience. Dude.
Speaker 3:You get to build really cool shit.
Speaker 1:You get to build really beautiful shit that people never see or people don't think of. It's so easy to drive past a skyscraper, drive past a power line, drive on a highway, and not think about the amount of man hours that went into doing that yeah think about how hard someone fucking busted their ass to build that.
Speaker 2:It's crazy dude. Going into old buildings, especially, is when I really notice it. Yeah, I was at the orpheum yesterday. It was built in 1921 and the inside of this is so elaborate. All the pillars in there are like carved out seashells and ribbons in stone and brick and and just like the way that this building is made. It's like dude. They do not build stuff like this anymore. Like the time that it took to put this place together is crazy constructions and art without an audience.
Speaker 1:Dude, before construction existed, everything was just a fucking patch of grass. That's all it was. You think about all the cities. You drive through the towns, you're in the roads, you're on the houses, you're in.
Speaker 2:Everything took time, everything took work, everything took effort used to be a nice forest, and now it's a homeless shelter but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:That ties in perfectly with there's no substitution for the work there's. There's work all around you, all day, every day, and you just don't care to see it you don't care to look for it. For real.
Speaker 2:Everything takes time Enjoying what's in front of you Absolutely. You know Fucking, finding love in what you're doing motivates you, doesn't motivate you beans.
Speaker 4:Yeah, keeps the drive going, dude Fucking right, dude, just gotta fucking go.
Speaker 2:Are you ready to kick Tuesday's ass right now, or what?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I already am kicking it hard All right boys.
Speaker 2:Thank you for coming on, Beans. Thank you, we think we head out of here.
Speaker 4:Huh.
