Why I Desperately Need a Mansion to Improve This Show

Hey folks, it's Earnest Mann here. I had a revelation that could change the entire trajectory of The Earnest Mann Show — I need a mansion. And not just for the status. This episode breaks down why a mansion isn't a luxury, it's a strategic investment in the future of this show and all of you who listen to it.

From Tiny Shack to Influence Hub

My 1,500-square-foot home doesn’t cut it. Picture this: press conferences in the East Wing, fine wine and cheese for Salem’s political elite, and the power to shape policy from my own estate. A proper 6,000-7,000 square-foot mansion on 8-10 acres would give me the credibility and capacity to host the movers and shakers of Oregon — where we could "strategize" on lowering their taxes while raising yours. All in the name of content creation, of course.

The West Wing Strategy — Podcasting with the Greats

Now let's talk about the West Wing. This would be reserved for influential podcast guests like Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh, and Dr. Grande. You know the names. I need to wine, dine, and learn from these media icons, absorbing their strategies for success and expanding my reach — without, of course, changing a single ounce of my content or integrity.

The Joe Rogan Example: Proof Money Doesn’t Corrupt

If you think success breeds sellouts, consider Joe Rogan. He secured $5 million from Spotify over four years — and only slightly adjusted his show’s content. This proves what I’m trying to tell you: massive wealth doesn’t compromise content, it enhances it. And with your help, I can follow in his footsteps — mansion, guests, and all.

Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide

Sure, asking for a mansion might sound bold. But when you weigh the ROI of brilliance, entertainment, and thought leadership I can offer from such a place, it becomes a humble proposal. So, would you care for a nice glass of Italian Pino with your Brie?

I would like to meet - both online and in person - individuals interested in discussing ideas on what really needs to be changed, to improve the quality of our lives.

I'm not promising miracles, but my advice is often a hell of a lot better - and certainly cheaper - than a therapist!.

[0:00] Hello folks, my name is Ernest. Thank

[0:15] you for being here. I got to thinking

[0:18] the other day what it is I really need

[0:22] to improve the quality and effectiveness

[0:24] of my show. because after all, I want to

[0:28] give everybody out there the best show I

[0:30] possibly can. So, what am I missing that

[0:34] could possibly do that? And I suddenly

[0:36] realized I needed something I've never

[0:39] had but desperately need. A mansion.

[0:44] You see, this epiphany came to me when

[0:48] there was a news article concerning a

[0:51] press conference here in Oregon with the

[0:54] governor at the governor's mansion. And

[0:56] if I only had a mansion, my listeners

[1:00] and viewership would explode. So that's

[1:03] why I'm offering this proposal. If you

[1:07] enjoy my show, if you think my

[1:10] admittedly dark and sardonic humor

[1:12] appeals to you, would you please

[1:14] consider either giving me a mansion or

[1:17] the funds to afford one? Because if you

[1:20] did, I just know with absolute certainty

[1:24] my life would dramatically improve. And

[1:27] as a consequence, those benefits would

[1:30] certainly, as Ronald Reagan once said,

[1:33] trickle down to you.

[1:36] Just consider I didn't have to live in

[1:40] 1,500 square feet of what the current

[1:43] organing governor would consider a tiny

[1:46] shack if I only had a mansion of

[1:50] moderate proportions, say just 6 or

[1:54] 7,000 square ft, sitting on around 8 or

[1:58] 10 acres, I would have room for media

[2:01] press conferences for some of my future

[2:05] incredible episodes in an actual East

[2:08] Wing for all the business and political

[2:11] well-healed movers and shakers here in

[2:13] Salem, offering fine wine and cheese so

[2:17] they could deliberate and give me their

[2:20] suggestions for future episodes where I

[2:23] could empathize with their concerns in

[2:27] future episodes about how to reduce

[2:30] their company and personal taxes while

[2:33] simultaneously

[2:35] strateg izing justifications for

[2:38] transferring their tax burdens to the

[2:41] average working people throughout the

[2:43] state of Oregon. So you see in order to

[2:47] do that you absolutely need a mansion

[2:51] because that necessitates plenty of free

[2:55] parking valet to actually park their

[2:58] cars. You don't want people of this

[3:02] caliber and status the indignity of

[3:05] having to park their own cars. And just

[3:09] being able to do that alone requires

[3:12] quite a bit of space and personnel. Not

[3:15] to mention the cost of the fine wines,

[3:18] cheeses, and caviar. So, if you take all

[3:22] that into consideration, it really

[3:24] becomes self-evident that I absolutely

[3:28] must have a mansion. But please allow me

[3:31] to continue explaining this a bit

[3:33] further because after all, if you're

[3:36] going to be paying for all this, I feel

[3:39] it's only fair to give you a reasonably

[3:42] clear justification and explanation.

[3:46] You see, the reason I have this

[3:50] expectation from you, even though it is

[3:53] a bit expensive, are the future benefits

[3:57] you'll receive from the insights of the

[4:00] Earnest Man Show being created and

[4:04] broadcast from my new mansion far exceed

[4:07] the cost of your investment.

[4:10] And if anything I just said isn't enough

[4:13] to convince you, just consider this.

[4:17] Remember what I mentioned previously

[4:18] about all of this taking place in the

[4:21] east wing? Well, it only stands to

[4:25] reason that I have to have a west wing

[4:28] as well, which of course would be for an

[4:31] entirely different yet also incredibly

[4:34] important purpose. In the podcasting and

[4:38] YouTube world, the old adage of it's not

[4:41] what you know, but who you know,

[4:44] absolutely applies.

[4:47] A West Wing will allow me to invite and

[4:50] entertain a selective group of the

[4:53] industry's bigwig leaders, and by being

[4:56] able to fratronize with them, people

[4:59] such as Dr. Grande, Matt Walsh, and of

[5:03] course Joe Rogan to name only a few

[5:06] would enable me to implement their

[5:09] strategies for success.

[5:12] Because it's only through learning their

[5:15] tried and true strategies, the

[5:18] strategies of men of unquestioned

[5:20] intelligence and integrity, is one able

[5:24] to reach such levels of success, which

[5:27] is something I totally desire to do. And

[5:31] having a mansion with both an east and

[5:35] west wing is the absolutely most

[5:38] effective way I could do that. Now, of

[5:42] course, there are always negative

[5:44] nancies out there, those who like to

[5:47] quote the old adage that he who pays the

[5:50] piper calls the tune, that because of

[5:54] big money and its corrupting effects,

[5:57] truth and integrity are lost. But don't

[6:00] fall for that. Allow me to give Joe

[6:03] Rogan as a perfect example of how that

[6:07] is patently false. Of course, everyone

[6:11] knows and loves Joe Rogan, and for good

[6:13] reason. He has always been a very

[6:17] personable and relatable guy, hence the

[6:20] reason he became a podcast and YouTube

[6:22] phenomenon through the Joe Rogan

[6:26] Experience. Yet, even when he accepted a

[6:29] huge corporate company named Spotify's

[6:37] his show, he clearly demonstrated his

[6:40] incredible will and integrity by only

[6:44] altering his left-wing and populist

[6:46] stance in his programming to a minor

[6:50] degree and didn't make a complete

[6:53] 180°ree turn of intellectual honesty and

[6:56] integrity in his show until a second

[7:05] And what does this clearly demonstrate?

[7:09] It demonstrates a man that within four

[7:12] years successfully managed to accept $5

[7:16] million

[7:18] that absolutely in no way changed or

[7:22] shaped his opinions or content. Yep.

[7:27] There was no significant change in his

[7:30] programming whatsoever,

[7:32] proving beyond doubt that huge amounts

[7:35] of money never corrupt anyone.

[7:39] And that is exactly the reason why I'm

[7:42] asking for a mansion. Because if I had

[7:46] people that I could entertain in a West

[7:49] Wing like Joe Rogan and others of his

[7:52] stature, I totally believe that I could

[7:56] learn from them how to accept incredible

[7:59] amounts of money without it affecting my

[8:03] show or its content in any way

[8:06] whatsoever.

[8:08] Now, I realize that me asking for a

[8:12] mansion on the surface might seem a bit

[8:14] extravagant, but if you take into deep

[8:17] consideration everything I've said so

[8:20] far, I consider my proposal quite

[8:23] humble. And all I can say is, let your

[8:27] conscience be your guide. And uh would

[8:32] you like a nice glass of Italian pino

[8:36] with your brie?

[8:40] Until next time, this is Ernest and

[8:42] that's all I've got to say for today.
