I didn't wanna work with actors anymore
So I was happy that "Fear Factor" was no actors
Since I had a background in coaching
I was used to teaching people and I was used to encouraging people and getting people motivated
When someone was nervous and they were about to do something
I could grab them and go, "Look at me. You can do this."

[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off, get scared and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positivе way
You can do this

It was completely unexpеcted because I thought the gig was just gonna be these people do these crazy things
I make fun of it, and we all cheer, and it would all play itself out because it was a reality show
But somewhere along the line, especially when they became really nervous, it was very intense
It was moments where I really, I wanted these people to win and I wanted these people to do their best
I wanted these people to succeed
There was one time, there was this father and a son competing against a mother and the daughter
And the father and the son were kinda jerks and they thought that they were gonna win
The parent and child teams had gotten down to two and it was the man and his son vs the woman and her daughter
And everybody thought these jerks were gonna win and were kinda bummed out about it
But the woman and her child, they just rose to the occasion
I mean, I remember talking to them and firing them up
I didn't know if they could do it
I didn't know if they could do it
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off, get scared, and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

It was some crazy thing that they had to climb and do this thing, had to gather flags, and it was all for time
The kinda jerky son, the jerky dad, they kept screwing up
They fucked up because they'd kinda taken it for granted that they were gonna win
A lotta times, jerks are just insecure, and when they're under pressure, when they're really faced with real pressure, like this is the real moment
Who are you really?
Who are you really?
Fuck all that talk, who are you really?
They fall apart
The mother and the daughter won
You're talking about a hardened crew of people that have watched people eat animal dicks, jump, jump outta helicopters, season after season, episode after episode
Everybody cried
The camera people, like I'll cry now if I'm thinking about it, just seeing their spirit
When they were figuring out a way to win, watching them win, like to this day
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared, and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

I never tear up for sad things, I tear up for happy things
It's never been sad things
It's very hard to get me to cry with sad things
But trying, success, people pulling through, when someone has a particularly incredible performance, I have to fight off tearing up
I feel so happy for them
With sad things, I can objectively analyze them, and I cannot get sad
I can understand that this is just life and it is what it is
I mean, I won't feel good, but I won't start weeping
I don't weep for sad things, the way I weep for happy things
I can rationalize and understand sorrow
I can internalize it, I get it
I just get so happy for people sometimes when things go well
As a human being, you realize how hard it is to overcome competition or these difficult moments, so these moments when you're tested
And you know that there's fears and insecurities that these people have to battle, as well as the actual physical task in front of them, there's so much going on
[Chorus]
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize you can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this

I am a student of human will
I love stories of discipline and success
I don't even like going to movies where they're sad
I'm not interested, I know it's sadness. I've been sad, I get it
I'm not interested in getting that in a form of entertainment
I like success
I like seeing people triumph
I like seeing the human spirit manifest itself in spectacular ways
