 and Tex here coming at you from the Palatial Tex Dom Studios here in Texas. Got my flags flying behind me. I am feeling pretty good on a Saturday night. You know I had a video of a soldier that had come home for the first time in months and I guess you know we've all seen these right you know that they surprise the kids and the wife and all that and bring the soldier in but this was an interesting one I'm going to post a link to it down at the bottom here because I think it was just freaking cool it was just it just broke broke my heart I mean I got a lot right. Kid was in mixed martial arts or something and they had that had the young boy blindfolded and he was going up against his teacher you know just trying to anticipate and you know I guess what little Star Wars thing going on there or what but what they did is they had his dad come in and his dad had obviously been deployed for quite a while and came in and just started sparring with him because you know a kid was blindfolded right and at one point he was like keep your hands up Chip keep your hands up I think that was his name and you know eventually the second time his dad said something the little boy started to figure it out right he stopped put his head down tried to pull everything off of his head you know and as soon as he saw his dad he launched into his dad man it was like you know like like a middle line backer taking out or running back I mean just launched into him and you know I showed that a couple of weeks ago I posted it and honestly I mean my eyes leaked like I ain't gonna lie it is what it is man I I'm emotional I'm emotional man you know shit gets to me sometimes and I let it out I don't fucking bottle that shit in but I will tell you this much I actually was watching an Astros game with my wife a while ago I said you gotta watch this video and she afterwards she's like well you want to make me cry tonight or what but my original point was when I posted that thing is kids need their dads okay you know there's a lot of single parent families out there right now there's a lot of moms single moms raising kids and the dads are five states away kids don't get to see their dads kids get a couple of phone calls a week if they're lucky right that's that's that's not right that is just not right in a perfect situation mom and dad love each other they get along they fuck like crazy you know they're happy in life they raise their kids and things go well and for a fortunate group that works for another large portion of that group it doesn't work so you end up with children with with fathers in a best case situation for them mom and dad live in the same town you know and that's a pretty big deal and that's that's you know you think about that oh my god they're divorced they don't you know but at least they live in the same town okay I bring this up because in a month we are going to convene in Orlando Florida for the 21 convention patriarchy edition and this was a brainstorm I've talked about it before but you know Hunter Drew got together and was asking Anthony some questions and talking you know to Tanner Guzzi and they were trying to work some things that yeah how can we do this for dads you know what we did for in October for 21 count how do we do this for fathers and husbands and that type of thing admittedly right it's a subset of the group that was there in October in Orlando last year so Anthony as he is a master of doing pulls together speakers that can provide incredible content on a subject he did it back in October and he's pulling it off again here in May I will tell you right now ticket price is going up again tomorrow night I believe it is if you are on the on the fence and you can't decide if you want to go or not I've got a couple of discount codes that I can get you in if you still want to get in so reach out to me by email my email's going to be down below you can email me anytime I always answer emails by the way it may take me a day or two sometimes but I never ignore an email because a lot of people didn't ignore my emails when I was going through my crap years ago and I I do this for one reason only and that is to help other men and help families help kids you know I believe in it I am blessed that I have a full-time gig that pays me well that makes me happy as hell to get up and go to work to you know day in and day out I'm not here listen I don't begrudge anybody making money on the internet God bless you go for it that's your calling you're an entrepreneur that's your passion you know you're out there selling or whatever you know we laugh about selling soap and all that kind of crap but dude you fucking do you right I do me what I do is what I do and when I'm here online I'm talking to you it's because it's from my heart and it's because I believe in what I'm saying and I'm not here to try to show I'm gonna try to make money and I'm gonna try to hear a fucking be somebody I'm not I'm just who I am right I'm a grandpa I'm a dad I'm a husband I'm a warrior I'm a fucking fighter right and I'm gonna fight hard for people that are trying to fight for themselves as well so you know we talk about throwing ropes down to men in holes this is what we're doing once again but you got to climb up so one step might be for you to consider meeting us in Orlando in a month again reach out to me by email I've got a couple of discount codes I can pass on I don't have a lot left but I can pass them on and get you a 25% discount if I you know if you just reach out the content is going to be fucking amazing because I know the speakers now I've gotten to know them really well over the last six plus months and I know they're all fathers there they all get it some are divorced some are not and you know we have a wide range of experience age groups married not married blah blah blah whatever but we're all dads we all get it and we all know that raising a child today in the year 2019 ain't easy right I got grandkids now my kids are raised my kids are gone they're out there in the world foraging for themselves they're got three grandkids ten eight and six and anything I can do to encourage other men to be able to step into their roles I'm going to do so that's it for tonight at this point I just wanted to touch base one more time I think it's tomorrow night the prices go up again and one thing I did learn a couple of years ago from watching these things at 21 convention the prices don't ever come back down again so I look forward to meeting with you I will say this much I I've talked to a couple of guys after October and one of the things that came the feedback that I got back was that everybody was in the same rooms together and everybody hung out together and everybody got to talk to each other and whether it was in the hallways whether it was the freaking elevator whether it was at the bar wherever you might have been at the time um I mean I was exhausted when I walked away in October and it was mostly because it was nonstop conversations but they were great conversations man there were guys that were you know that were talking to me I was talking to them and they were talking to other other folks that were there other speakers and whatnot um you know these are guys that you you tend to generally follow their content online because of a reason because you you connect with the content and to be able to connect with these guys live in person they ain't gonna lie man some of these guys I've been following them for years and I got to meet them for the first time in October and I was total fanboy I was kind of almost embarrassed but hey you know what I like these guys I like the you know everybody that I ran into I I just gelled with and there were guys asking me questions about dominance and submission there were guys asking me questions about fatherhood you know I talk grandparenting stuff with another couple of guys I mean just freaking age groups are all over the place so my talk in in May coming up is going to be talking about things along the lines of setting boundaries with children but you know I might even re-title my talk is I married a single mom yeah I did it so um listen I got I got things to say I want to say I'm I'm not going to say I'm here right now I do know the beauty of the 21 convention is if you don't if you're not able to get there within a year or so you will get to see all the content anyway so that's one of the coolest things about what Anthony and his team are doing you know the content is available I mean it's not like oh it's too expensive I can't go fuck you guys right no that's not the way this whole thing works thing is yeah there's a there's a paywall you got to be able to afford to get there because you know why because it's a nice facility it's going to be a nice place it's going to be run professionally it's going to be first class in all regards and that costs money so if you're not able to do that I get it but guess what hang in there because the talks are coming live on YouTube they come live first 21 studios you get a month free you can get in there and do it if you want to it's not that much money so it's like Netflix for men it's it's years worth of talks and discussions and such that are on there so again one more time reach out to me I've got a couple of discount codes left I hope to see you there I can't wait it's going to be balls to the wall I cannot wait to hit this thing we've got a brand new venue it's supposed to be world-class and I cannot wait to see what we're up against here men I again I'm stoked I had a call with George over at 21 one of the guys that works here at 21 today we were talking about stuff and I've been pumped up all freaking day as you can tell right the fact is after it was lost tonight I'm bummed but I had a couple margaritas along the way so girl and I had a pretty good time watching that's about it I'm out and I hope to see you in early May in Orlando click the link below if you're interested stay safe
