00:00:00.000 | - There's no picture of Jordan on the wall.
00:00:04.060 | You're not listening to YouTube inspiration video.
00:00:07.100 | Those would be all your voice anyway.
00:00:08.600 | (laughs)
00:00:10.220 | You're not listening to your top 10 favorite songs
00:00:13.240 | just to get rolling and then lace the shoes, hit the books.
00:00:16.860 | It's all in here.
00:00:18.060 | - All in there.
00:00:18.900 | I used to do that when I was fat, Rocky.
00:00:21.500 | I mean, people know that that was my thing.
00:00:24.020 | Round 14 was my thing.
00:00:25.620 | And as I got older and older and older,
00:00:29.340 | that started to go away.
00:00:32.280 | And I started to create,
00:00:35.140 | I had all these people that I used to watch.
00:00:38.100 | Rocky was one, Barnes, Elias from Platoon,
00:00:41.300 | Jack from A Few Good Men.
00:00:46.060 | You know, he's on the stand going crazy.
00:00:48.380 | I saw a lot of these characters that I looked at
00:00:50.980 | and I was like, man, I ain't got none of that.
00:00:53.660 | But they were characters.
00:00:56.260 | After a while, I lived a life so disciplined
00:01:00.140 | that everybody that I once looked to,
00:01:03.660 | these fake characters, I built that as a man.
00:01:07.580 | And when I was younger, I had this image in my mind
00:01:12.500 | of what does a man look like to me?
00:01:14.520 | And I got all these people who were bad-ass characters.
00:01:19.460 | And in my mind, I became that.
00:01:24.380 | And that's what kept me going a lot,
00:01:26.860 | was I had this pipe dream of becoming a little bit of this
00:01:29.500 | and a little bit of that.
00:01:30.520 | 'Cause when you have no parents raising you
00:01:32.940 | and you have no role models growing up,
00:01:36.020 | it's not daydreaming.
00:01:39.680 | You start to create a reality like, hmm,
00:01:42.780 | maybe I can be that.
00:01:47.280 | And after becoming this guy,
00:01:53.600 | that is the biggest thing I can ever do in my life
00:01:55.620 | is I became that guy.
00:01:57.700 | That I once looked at all these guys,
00:01:59.460 | now look at myself like, God, who the fuck can do that?
00:02:02.620 | I can.
00:02:04.020 | But what it takes is a discipline
00:02:06.220 | that no one can ever even...
00:02:08.980 | They don't understand it.
00:02:12.260 | They don't understand.
00:02:13.100 | Everybody has the ability to do it,
00:02:15.300 | but they just don't want to.
00:02:16.500 | They wanna keep asking questions
00:02:17.900 | and keep going to seminars.
00:02:20.140 | And the greatness is right in you.
00:02:22.140 | And that's why, once again,
00:02:23.420 | I'll say this a million times here,
00:02:25.000 | I do not feel sorry for you.
00:02:27.440 | I will not sugar coat what I'm going to say to you
00:02:30.920 | because all of you know what I'm saying is the truth.
00:02:33.940 | Everybody knows it's the truth.
00:02:37.200 | This is what it looks like.
00:02:38.040 | And you know it too.
00:02:39.360 | You know it too.
00:02:40.680 | If you ain't got nothing,
00:02:41.800 | I hate to tell you what it looks like is ugly.
00:02:44.320 | It's not a documentary.
00:02:45.360 | It's not an HBO special.
00:02:46.840 | You ain't gonna watch it.
00:02:47.680 | But hey, man, you guys gotta watch this.
00:02:48.720 | No, it's like, oh God, this looks like a train wreck.
00:02:51.120 | It's like a nightmare.
00:02:51.960 | It's like this guy got, no, it's what it looks like.
00:02:54.640 | Hard work looks horrible.
00:02:56.960 | It's not motivating.
00:02:58.620 | It's not motivating at all.
00:03:00.320 | It ain't like "Rocky" round 14
00:03:01.760 | where he gets knocked down
00:03:02.600 | and he goes like this to Apollo Creed.
00:03:04.720 | It looks like a man being stuck in a fucking dungeon
00:03:08.640 | and there's no fucking way out.
00:03:10.140 | But you had the fucking key.
00:03:12.620 | But you refused to use it.
00:03:16.660 | And that's nothing motivating about that.
00:03:20.160 | So yes, no documentary on David Goggins.
00:03:23.320 | (upbeat music)
