Tim Ferriss

Terrible at saying no.

He was pressuring me to write this book.

And I was like, we were both kind of drunk at the time.

And I was like, Neil, he was at a, busting my balls at a table.

I was single at the time.

And he's kind of like embarrassing me in front of these women.

And I'm just like, Neil, if you're such a hotshot,

I see what you're doing.

You're doing this lame power play in front of these girls trying to impress them."

I was like, which is not totally true, but I was just like, all right, you want to spar, let's go.

And I was like, if you want to write this book, if you want to read this book so badly, why don't you help me finish it?

Get off the bench.

And he was like, and then the next day when we both sobered up, he's like, hey, if you're serious, like, let's talk.

And so he became kind of like the student and I would have him test these things.

And then like 50% of the time he'd fuck it up.

He'd fumble it.

He'd create some mess.

But what ended up happening, or he wouldn't do the homework.

He would not do the homework.

And I was like, oh, this book doesn't work.
