There is definitely a balance when i was a homeless heroin addict years ago i didnt give a fuck about anything and i was not happy unless i had just gotten a bag of dope, that happiness was material and lasted a few minutes until i needed more. Not giving a fuck isnt good either.
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 I think it's important to define what "not giving a fuck" means. In this context, Fat Mike is talking about not continually chasing new heights because you'll never be happy if you do that. Not giving a fuck about being famous or ultra rich is probably what he's getting on about. If you play in a band and just genuinely enjoy playing for the sake of it, then that's happiness. If you're constantly worried about why you're not famous yet, then it's going to suck for you. But yes, life is a balancing act between not giving a fuck at all, and giving too much of a fuck!
What I took away from this video was that for one to find happiness, enlightenment and truly understand and appreciate life, all you need to do is wear clown shoes.
The thing he's not saying is this: NOFX used to tour RELENTLESSLY. Mike's a very talented song writer and his band are talented musicians. Combine that with the strong work ethic they used years ago and you build a brand and following that sticks. So sure, NOW they can go do a handful of shows, make a bunch of money, and go home and live life. The rest of the world? Not so simple.
When does he say no one should have a job? He specifically said that you don't have to love your job. Your job is supposed to give you enough money to do the things you love.
@@colina1330 yea and inflation is making that extremely difficult. These clowns and actors better be extremely grateful for the fans that they have cuz pretty soon they’ll be gone.
"That will be a long sign" lol Fat Mike has never changed he's stays true.
a man who wants nothing has everything. wanting more keeps you chasing. thats not happiness.
got to say Mike is right here.
I don't listen to Punk Rock, but Mike may make me a fan. He's dropping Gems. Love your podcast.
PUNK ROCK IS THE BEST
People don't get it, the less you give a fuck, the happier you are. As my give a fuck dissipates, peace flows in.

Wow, cool dude. Look up his house, $5M+. Uhh okay man, let's chill out on trying to relate to the common man.
i dunno, he does not strike me as a happy dude......
That's just your perception. You're judgment is not always right.
If nobody had jobs your shows would be empty
