The Downfall Of America, Bitcoin & Andrew Tate

That they can literally program how much meat you can buy, okay? If people understood blockchain, the way I understood it, once I understood what blockchain was, I was terrified. So you're not concerned. You don't think that it's just to track the money, but it's to limit your ability to spend the money. It's going to enslave humanity. Same thing with Andrew, with Andrew Tate.

Like, I don't have a problem with your message. Your delivery is so bad, nobody can pay attention to your message. I don't find the timing, I find the timing to be extremely, you know, fishy. Yeah. But I can't also sit here and say I don't think this guy's never done anything wrong in his life. Oh, no, no, no. You don't operate.

Someone that comes from that part of the world. Yeah, he should. You don't operate in those countries, bro. Especially strip clubs. Yeah. Unless you're dealing with some crazy. Hey, this is Matt Cox. And I'm here with Beck Lover.

He is a New York socialite. Socialite, well, what? Nightlife legend. Nightlife legend Socialite Nightlight Nightlight legend And if you think that I'm

Not a modest person Then Beck is on the same scale as me So he's done a ton of stuff He's got a bunch of interesting stories Really interesting guy A good friend of Tyler Which is both of our Shout out to Tyler

Booking agent And Tyler Sherman Tyler Sherman and so yeah we're going to get right into it and I got some questions and there's a bunch of things that he's connected to and has some stories about and so we're going to get into it Matt first and foremost it's nice to be on your show I want to thank you again for coming on my show about a year ago a little bit more than a year ago it's nice to be down here in the beautiful free state of Florida and I always tell people if I had your

hair I probably never would have got married It's when I started seeing the receding hairline. I'm like, okay, I got to pull the trigger. I got to get one in. You're a good-looking dude, bro. And I don't think there's anything wrong with a man compliment another man. People go, oh, that's that. You know, I say, you know, if someone's handsome, you know, let him know.

Listen, when you look like this, you can just have to accept it. You're, you know, you're telling me I got to work out. I'm not doing too good. You're bad, your bad weight or whatever you think you are. I'll take that. Your bad would be like my dream to have Matt Cox's body. Like, I need to lose 110 pounds, man. I'm dying.

I mean, it's, it, listen, it's a struggle because there's so much food everywhere. It's everything so good. And the worst thing is, like I had mentioned earlier, was that I was like 160, 165, and I started doing the, the TRT, right, the testosterone replacement therapy with Ryan Root, because I was explaining to him that I'm like, look, man, I'm working out. I'm saying no gains. You know, you get older where, like, you'll bump into the wall and you've got a bruise and you're like, and it's there for two weeks.

You're like, the fuck's going on. How do I have a bruise for two weeks? I just hit 40 myself, man. And, you know, I'm 110 pounds overweight. I was overweight before everything started. You know, we're avoiding certain words. Right, right. I want this episode to get out there.

I want the masses to know who matters because you're a great orator. You're a great speaker. You're an interesting cat. We say certain words. Guess what? The episode doesn't go where it needs to go. Yeah, yeah. But when everything's,

started a couple of years ago right two three years ago these weird times that we're living and i was already overweight i ended up getting another 50 60 pounds man in new york city for those of us that lived up there during this thing i got to say it was probably the worst place in the country to be in during everything that happened you know literally overnight the city just changed i saw that video of you and you went out to like time square and it was empty and you were like I'm out here he's got his phone and you're like I'm out here in Times Square and I've been at Times Square I went there I shot an episode of my true crime story with VH1 like maybe six months ago or something and it's packed it's packed all the time just Times Square the city has not

returned to what it was before and you know the reason I'm down here is not just to see you guys which is always a pleasure but you know I hate to say it but the King in New York might be jumping ship himself and it's a very I'm trying not to I got very close to to moving down here a year ago having children right now in that environment is extremely stressful and what's going on up there and the way things seem like they're going right back the other way and again we're avoiding a lot of keywords here so you know for those of you that know it changed overnight man the core of business there in the city has not returned the heart of new york is midtown manhattan that corporate structure my mother works one of the biggest companies in the world

they do publishing, I don't want to mention the name, okay? One of the biggest in the world. They're in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. She still hasn't stepped foot back into her office. We're three years later. So what else do you want to know? All of that office space, they're talking about converting into, you know, residential living quarters.

I'm like, but what's the core of New York, right? That's the heart of the city is the business sector. So, yeah, is it a little bit better? And if I'm a tourist, I come back to New York and it seems busier. you know and to them compared to other places New York always seems a little bit busier because there's millions of people that live there they say 500,000 people left

if I had to guess that number is at least a million to in my opinion in the New York City area well over 2, 3 million so maybe not just the course remember most people live on the outskirts of the city and then they go into the city so the amount of people in my network alone

in nightlife that have left New York and moved to Miami I would say 20% of my network is now in Miami. So I don't see that trend ending. I see a second wave coming. I believe they're going to go through everything we went through already the first time around. And again, we're avoiding words here for a reason.

Everything we went through in New York, I believe it's going to happen again, and I believe it's going to happen very soon. And I believe you're going to have that second exodus, as I call it. The most disturbing thing for me was, you know, when everything started, I left immediately. I didn't even wait for it to come to America when everything shut down. I literally pulled my children out of school one month before it hit our shores. You've seen certain things on the news, certain images. We didn't know what was coming at us.

And I'm not going to take a second chance with something that could possibly destroy us, right? I got my kids out and I did what they call bugged out. I went three hours away from the city. While they were fighting for toilet paper, I was already out. And that's how you treat a dangerous situation. when you're a father, when you're, you know, you're a husband, you know, you have a family, whatever the case is you, when you've got people that you love that you're in charge for and there's something that could be a threat to those people, you can't take second chances.

You got one shot. And I guess this comes from a lot of my background too, you know, so I'm a first generation. And some people tell me my terminology's wrong. My mom came in when she was five. I'm the first one in my family born in America. That's the first generation. Yeah, first generation. So some people tell me I'm wrong.

You're first generation American, right? I'm first generation born here. Yeah. So how can you be first generation if you weren't born here? I always thought you have to, you know, yeah, your family came, but your first generation when you're actually born in the U.S. Right. And my family came here to escape two really horrible places, right, at the time.

So my family, my mom's side came from communist Albania. And my grandfather, God rest of soul, he was an anti-communist fighter in the mountains. of Albania. They eventually got overrunned and my great-grandfather, may he rest, told my grandfather, someone's got to make it out of here. And he commanded my grandfather. My grandfather didn't want to leave. You said, you got to take your family and get over that mountain. And that was the beginning of their journey coming to us. My great-grandfather eventually ended up in a gulag type prison. He did 28 years. How he survived, I don't know. He eventually got out and lived about a year and a half after that. My great-grandmother, his wife, was hung immediately.

The rest of my family was taken to internment camps in Albania at that time. So anyone that was considered sympathizers with those that stood against that tyranny and that darkness lived in what they called internment. And you were blacklisted in the regime. You weren't given certain privileges. And, you know, the people there suffered for a good 40, 50 years until it eventually fell. What was the, what's the name of the? The dictator?

Yeah. His name was Enver Hoja, but Americans pronounce it Hoaxa, because it's spelled H-O-X-H-A. And he was brutal. He was brutal, and what people don't realize is that Albania was the only atheist country at one point in the whole world, officially atheist. And it was the most isolated country in the world more isolated than North Korea is today. You wouldn't have had Dennis Rodman playing basketball. all. They would have blown his brains out if he came to Albania and Ched to the ex. Like, no one was allowed in. You know, when you live in New York, you have a large Russian

population. So sometimes I like to go to Sheepshead Bay and throw a line in, you know, and fish a little bit on one of those party boats. A lot of Russians over there and we'll talk and they'd like, listen, man, during, you know, communism, Soviet Union, you guys were crazy. We would roll up to your port. We'd drop off supplies. We weren't even allowed to get off the boat. So even other communists weren't coming to Albania. No one was allowed in. no one was allowed out and what's interesting is there was bunkers everywhere I was just going to say that

every house couldn't they put like half the population underground because they were so concerned they were so concerned about a nuclear war that they were going to survive it that like their whole thing was to prepare for the nuclear war so they could survive it and they had all the they that's where every house almost had a bunker man

that's where well and and in all the mountains and all that asphalt that guy could have just built the most beautiful roads at the time Right? So it's crazy. So like, what a waste, you know. And my mom's family, you know, is associated with the royal family. So my great uncle was the minister of the royal family. Shout out to Prince Leck, a very good friend of mine, the Prince of Albania, crown prince. And, you know, one thing that Albanians are very proud of is, you know, we have a very tragic history, bro. We are, you know, I don't care what anyone says. And the truth is coming out because we were always occupied. We were occupied first by the Romans, then by the Turks. 500 years under them. America is not even 500 years old. Right. And then after that, the World War I, World War II, and then we went into communism. So our history never had a chance to come out, man. And for the first time, archaeologists are there. And the truth is coming out, brother. We are one of the oldest, if not the oldest people in all of Europe. Our language is one of the most original in the sense that it comes from nothing else. So languages are a group like in Latin, Slavic languages, Russian, Polish, right? Albanian, if you look it up in linguistics, is the only original Indo-European language in existence. So the Albanians traced their lineage to the ancient Pelagisians who became the ancient Illyrians, and the largest tribe of the Illyrians was

the Albania. That's where the word Albanian comes from. It's also the same way when you think of the Israelites, they had tribes and the largest tribe was the Judeans. That's where the word Jew comes from. But what about the other tribes? Albanians don't call ourselves Albanian. The world calls us that. The word that we call ourselves is Shiphtar. Shiphtar. It means, you know, Shipriya is the actual word that we use for our country. And the reason I say this is important because, you know, it's my obligation as someone who was blessed to be born in this country of ours and a freedom that my family never had. My doubt was from a place called Kosovo. In 1998, it finally erupted into a war. So when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, unfortunately the West, but if it wasn't for a

America. So what Americans don't understand and the West doesn't understand. And right now there's a little bit of a riff in the UK with Albans. And it's very upsetting to our people because we're portrayed in this horrible way in the movies, the movie Taken, taken one, taken two. Okay, Marco from Tropoya. I'm from Tropoya. That's where my mother's family's from. My great-great-grandfather's statue stands in Trapoya, literally. And his statue stands in a place called Jakova, which is in Kosovo. Kosovo and Albania used to be one nation. So Albanians live in Kosovo and they live in Albania. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, there was no borders and there was no boundaries. So our people were cut up into five different countries. If it wasn't for Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. president at that time, and the first Albanians that migrated to Boston, the country of Albanians,

would not exist today. We actually owe our existence and our survival to this country. And what's so upsetting to me and what's so upsetting to a lot of Albanians right now is that they're realizing the foreign policy of what's going on right now, that America also saved us during the Kosovo War. During the Clinton administration, they initiated bombing, which ended that conflict. I lost 30 people in that war, and we're going to get to that in a second. I lost 30 people in a single day. Where does this all go? So basically, what I'm trying to say is there is not another nation on the earth that loves America more than the Albanians, brother, to the point where when you visit the country of Albania, they have

streets named after U.S. presidents. They have statues of Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton, George Bush. They named the main highway that connects Albania to Kosovo, Bue Biden Highway. These people do not understand the difference between our two parties and all that. They don't care about that. In their mind, they're like, they always have an expression in Albania. Zootie and America, or America of the Zooti, God and America, with these two, will be okay. So we are literally surrounded by very hostile neighbors who want to attack our history, have done pretty bad things to us, man. And we've never been the occupying force. We've never been the one to attack our neighbors. And we're living in a time where the world is very volatile.

what's going on in the Ukraine, Serbia is a very big ally of Russia. So we're having some problems right now in the Kosovo region. So this is all relevant to current events, by the way. So Serbia just moved their forces to our... For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.

border. NATO is the one that protects Kosovo, which is a country, but that's not recognized by all the world. It's recognized only by the West. India doesn't recognize it. Russia definitely doesn't recognize it. And the greatest ally to the Serbians is the Russians, right? So we're almost in a proxy war ourselves where I have a feeling something could erupt there, and it all goes to what's going on over there right now in the Ukraine. There's so much going on. And what people don't remember is that World War I started in the Balkans, right? Albania is in the heart of the Balkans. When the Prince of Austria was assassinated.

It was done by a Serbian of the black hand in Sarajevo, and that led to World War I. So unfortunately for all of our people, Serbians, Albanians, Greeks, Macedonians, we have always been in what's called the crossroads of the empires. Where so many conflicts, Alexander, I mean, it goes back to that far. I just wish that our people, our neighbors.

It's sad how similar we are in culture. We eat the same foods. We listen to the same damn music. You give us a clarinet. We make it scream. You know, we play a clarinet in America. It's very calm. It's too, too, too, like jazzy.

You give a clarinet to somebody from Eastern Europe or the Balkans, they make that thing scream. It's like crazy, right? We dance similar. We eat the same foods. And for us to still, in the year, 23, not be able to coexist, which I blame on not.

the people. Yes, we've had traditionally conflicts. But when you speak to the average young person, they don't want these wars. Nobody won, man. We're all the poorest countries in Europe. We're all unemployed. All of our youth leave our countries. And at the end of the day, if we all took a step back, we'd realize it's the people that are in charge that are keeping this perpetuated conflict that makes us hate one another. When really at the end of the day, everybody wants the same thing, man. You want to work. You want to have food. You want to live a simple. life where you can live in peace and that's why I have always loved our country and to see it polarized the way it is it's to me is devastating because I've never been I was always so proud

to be from here man and to see where our country is right now my heart is aching bro it's just aching and we can point fingers but everybody's wrong I'm sorry I have a question for you so it's funny because my my girlfriend and I kind of go back and forth like this so I basically you know I lean more you know obviously like I'm a generation X and I was it was just I was raised obviously way different than That is our generation right yeah

Way I'm 40 am I X? Yeah yeah pretty much I like that X so on you know So on average I have more of a conservative point of view You know but I'm not but you know like I think like most conservatives I'm like like it's funny because I watch you know shorts or little things

they're like the middle what it used to be the middle 20 years ago well I I think that I don't know about that I think that here's the thing and this is what kills me this is what always kills me is that and this was a great I'm giving an example that I know everybody's probably heard it's like is that if you're a liberal and you're and you're a vegan then you know if I'm a vegan right so I'm a vegetarian if I'm a vegetarian which I'm not but if I'm a

vegetarian and I'm a conservative then I just don't eat meat but if you're a liberal and you're a vegetarian then you don't want anyone to eat meat and it's like that doesn't like it like it makes no sense like they're constantly trying to force their point of view on everyone and that bothers me so but there's there's other differences too and then there's there are also some things that I agree with the liberals on. Like they're like I'm not 100% everything that conservatives say are is great because I disagree on a lot of things.

Like it's funny because like with Trump like my girlfriend loves Trump. There goes one of the words. Oh yeah. So well but like with this episode's finished. Go ahead. Like with Trump like I didn't have a problem with any of his policies. Like I have a problem with his policies. I like that we had no war man. Right. What what Bob the only thing that bothered me about him was like his

Delivery. It's the same thing with The delivery was horrible. Horrible. Same thing with Andrew, with Andrew Tate. Like, I don't have a problem with your message.

Your delivery's so bad nobody can pay attention to your message. Like, to me, and whenever I say this, I get jammed up in the comment section. People go nuts. I'm always like, look, to me,

Andrew Tate's not saying anything different than Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro or any of the other conservatives. He's like a street version of them. But his version is. It's so over-the-top insulting that you can't hear what he's saying. So, you know, as a result, he's obviously got himself jammed up recently.

I don't find the timing, I find the timing to be extremely, you know, fishy. Yeah. But I can't also sit here and say, I don't think this guy's never done anything wrong in his life. Oh, no, no, no. You don't operate. As someone that comes from that part of the world. Yeah, he should. You don't operate in those countries, bro, especially strip clubs.

Yeah. Unless you're dealing with some crazy shit. And there's another thing since we'll, because we've got to watch the words here. Shrips clubs, casinos, and cam girls. Okay, now also in Germany, right? Okay. Just because it's legal to go into a brothel. Right.

Doesn't mean that those women haven't been forced. In my opinion, all you've done is make it easier for the people that are making them do it to get their money clean. No normal woman is going to work that job, bro. I'm sorry. You have maybe 5% that do it for the money. But how hard is it for someone? that's going to force them say if you don't go and work in that place even though it's legal i'm going to you know do something to your family back in romania or whatever the case may be so

i always believe innocent to proven guilty i'll never ever because it's better to let a hundred in a hundred this is my it's better to let 100 criminals go free than to punish a single innocent person is that thomas jefferson no i just no like lover no no thomas i think it was tom i somebody yeah thomas jefferson pull it up man on google see somebody somebody It's better to let 100 guilty men go free than to have one innocent man. Let's see if I'm the first one. No, I do. You're absolutely not.

So, you know, since you brought up Tate, you know, I like that he's, you know, I like certain stuff that he says. Yeah. And certain things are just out of this world crazy. But at the end of the day, I don't find what happened to him to be a coincidence. I feel like you're talking about a very powerful machine. you're poking a very powerful bear and they hit him however they could

yeah well he gave him enough rope like you gave him me you gave the authorities enough rope or the matrix he gave the matrix enough rope to hang him like Jordan Peterson's not going to do that the problem is he's not neo or Morpheus right so

you know like I said I don't disagree with a lot of things he said some things he was just you know I wasn't crazy about some of the things with the women and, you know, stuff like that. But for the most part, a lot of stuff he said hit a lot of young alpha males, I would call them. Well, but, you know, and just because there was one point

I wanted to make and I just want to get back to it. So that's why, like, you know, being in this country up until now, up until these last few years. He built some of the nation's largest banks out of an estimated $55 million because $50 million wasn't enough and $60 million seemed excessive. He is the most interesting man in the world. I don't typically commit crimes, but when I do, it's bank fraud.

Stay greedy, my friends. Support the channel. Join Matthew Cox's Patreon. You know, it hit me one time. I'm at a park, and I was watching my boys. I got three boys, and I see a Hasidic Jew. She's wearing, you know, you could tell because they wear like a little bit of a headscarf, And I see this Arab woman, they're standing right next to each other, their kids are playing, they're talking and smiling, and I'm like on the other side of the ocean, these two would be killing each other.

One would be throwing rocks, the other one would be blowing them up with a tank. And it's like, where else can this exist but America, man? And if we go down, bro, and to see us in this position where, honestly, I question our future, I feel like the course that we're on right now, if we stay on this course, we won't be here much longer. And I truly believe that. And I'm truly worried about it. Because, you know, people say, well, like, you know, that'll never happen in America. Let me tell you something.

People that lived in Yugoslavia, which was the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II. Okay? You had massacre after massacre. It was just bad. Okay. These people were literally cousins. The only difference between a Serbian creation and a Basian, okay, is their religion. They speak the same language.

They look the same. How did they figure out how to wipe out one another? I mean, you could have said, hey, I'm sorry, to me is mind-boggling how that war even went down, right? So seeing these parallels of this polarization, this tribalism where we've been pushed into two different sides, I'm neither or, man. I blame both parties for where we are today. The right destroyed half the world spent, let's forget who started the spending.

They spent trillions of dollars invading countries that were not as someone that was in the World Trade Center, underneath the World Trade Center the day, it got hit. I was on probably one of the last E-trains that ever went into the World Trade Center. I came out from underneath that area as they were on fire and the second plane was hitting. I was underneath that area. Right. You know, the concourse levels on it. And, you know, as someone who witnessed that devastation to my city, which by the way would

politicians did to New York, they couldn't have dreamed of doing on 9-11. They did. To me, I've never questioned leaving New York City after I saw those buildings fall. And now I'm being forced to leave my city because up is down and down is up. When a man can get hit with a, when a man can take a baseball bat and smash another man's brains on camera, this happened about two weeks ago in New York, it's all over the news, and he was out on out two hours later. What do you expect for the future of my beautiful city?

destroyed from within, when you have policies that contradict logic, when police can no longer do their job, because if they make one mistake, they lose everything to happen. Should they be punished if they make a mistake? Absolutely. But they're not doing their job, though. Now, they're more of observers. When New York was very proactive, brother, you'd be in the street, you would never know like this homeless guy is actually a cop acting like he's home, like you were, you never, like it was the safest big city in the world. So getting back to where I started all this, We've come a long way from that. It is no longer the safest big city in the world.

You better watch where you're going and know where you're going when you're in the streets in New York. For the first time in my life, I had to watch my back and live like I did in the early 90s before Giuliani wiped out all the major crime in New York City.

So, you know, the city's on the brink, the country's on the brink. We're printing money like we've never printed before. We're following a pattern of, like, Weimar Germany in some ways. And it's crazy. So I was going to mention, It's funny you mentioned

Weimar Germany. So obviously hyperinflation is what you're talking about. I think it's right around the corner. During prior to World War II, after World War I, Germany was hit with having started the war, they were hit with these massive reparations. Right, and ultimately, I'm just saying just for people that were watching.

And what ultimately Germany did was because they couldn't make the payments, they decided to just start printing money and paying, and they were printing so much of their own money, that it became worthless it became worthless kids were playing with it building like yeah they're using a building blocks they're they're bringing there's a joke where wheel there's a joke where they say that somebody brought a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf of bread not a joke it happened

that was actually happened but the joke I'm saying is someone had a wheelbarrow full of full of money one time and he got robbed the guy dumped the money and stole the wheelbarrow this was it was worth it so it was worth us so The thing is that, you know, we're printing so much money. And this is what I was going to mention. But there's another part that people don't talk about as much. Forget just the printing of the money. And pre-World War II, Germany, there was degeneracy.

It was the capital of filth in Europe. They degenerated to a point where there was brothels every. It was this. If you really dig into that history, they're desperate for money. They had degenerated. Completely. That's what happens when you become desperate. And people turn into animals.

But what I'm saying is, for instance, the war in Ukraine. And we're printing all this money. We're giving them all this money. And here's what, so it's like funny because this is where like a lot of conservative, I disagree with some of the conservative views. The Democrats, of course, want to print the money. They want to pump up a bunch of money. They want to give it to them.

They want to fund this war in Ukraine. And a lot of conservatives are saying they're corrupt. Don't do it. Don't give them money. Don't fight the war. Let's stop submitting the money or at least have more accountability. And I agree with the accountability. But to me, I think you have to fight the war. You have to give Lisenki the money and fight that war and help support them because Russian aggression is it's at an all time high. And if you allow them to invade Ukraine and take Ukraine, they won't stop. A bully doesn't stop. You have to stand up to him somewhere. They didn't stand up to him when they invaded, you know, what, Georgia, when he's invaded

these other countries. When you travel now and I travel quite often even throughout Europe, the world views us as the bully, bro. I know that, I know where you're going, what your thought. But here's how most people outside of our country view us. Oh, no doubt. You guys went into Afghanistan. You went into Iraq.

You got involved in Libya. So, like, who really was more of the aggressor? And I'm not sitting here. I'm just giving you the perspective of that I've had hundreds of conversations with people. Getting back to what I was saying. As someone that was underneath the World Trade Center, all you heard Bush was going was. So if people want to know what I am, I have no party, bro.

Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Wagovi? Yeah. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor about Wagovi.

Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay, so why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers. You know, with the chair and everything. Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name. Visit Wagovi.comi.com for savings. Exclusions may apply. Right, because both have serious blood on their hands.

Both have printed crazy amounts of money. ideally I lean a little bit more towards the right which I considered what would have been normal 30 years ago I would call myself a libertarian is what I am I want the government as small as possible stay the fuck out of our lives you're taxing us beyond reason and you're taking this money to destroy civilization

not build it so you don't think we should be in no no I'm not saying we should now the can of worms is open right but this has a thing to turn really dangerous for us but I wouldn't rule out nuclear war but I really wouldn't yeah no I agree so what I'm worried about is this we go to Afghanistan all you heard him saying Bush at the time we're gonna take out the Taliban we're gonna tell we're gonna go in there and take out to Taliban here we are fucking 20 something years later and we left them more powerful than we found them so you sent our boys over there I have friends I've lost you know I've had many of them

on my show we spent all this money our boys and girls went out there wrist their lives. My cousin did tour in Fallujah, lost half his platoon. Shout out to Brian in Dallas. My cousin was a Marine. All this destruction, and we left them in power with better weapons

and then tying in the whole Albanian thing. We love America with all of our heart. We're willing to die for America because we know if America falls, guess what? We're finished. And the fact that they have not armed our people. Yeah,

Albania is a NATO, but Posovo. They only let us have 5,000 troops. We're surrounded by enemies. We name our streets after American presidents. We name our children. Half the kids in Albania were named Clinton or Hillary, which I'm sure makes a lot of people on the right happy. But remember, they don't know the politics. They're like, these are the people that saved us. We love them. We want to respect these people. So for a nation who was never the aggressor, the only country that saved every single Jew that came to its borders during the Holocaust. was our people look it up

how do you not arm a people like this how do you not give us what you left the people that you were going so to albanes i'm like brother wake up they left these terrorists more money and weapons than they ever left us and we're willing to die for america man if they gave us

and no offense to my Puerto Rican brothers and sisters I love you guys I grew up with you because I feel bad for Puerto Rico Puerto Rico isn't like this should we be a state should we be a country you know and they're like it's not it's they're in a really weird situation and they're hurting economically man

I've been there I love Puerto Rico by the way mafungo you ever had mufungo yes I only had it twice it was in San Juan I was married to a Puerto Rican woman for three years so you think I would have had Mahfungo hanging out in the Bronx with all my Puerto Ricans and my Dominicans but I never had it until I went to San Juan

I even know what it was but you know where if they gave us the option to become the 51st state I guarantee you, Albania would give up its sovereignty, the Albanian people. I don't know about the government. Every Albania in the world would be like, yes, we'll be the 51st state. Yes, we will join the military. Yes, we will fight and die for America.

So how does America not arm these people? How does America not train these people? How does America not want two to six million people in the heart of Europe that are willing to do whatever it needs to be done to protect America and her interests? We love this country, brother. well I think you know obviously there's been so much placating to Putin over the last you know 20 years where they've this what has it been 20 is it 20 or 30 20 20 20 my man is he's been listen let's be he's a G yeah he's he's he's holding like he's doing judo he's you know

shirt off he's buying ice cream like he's riding horses with a shirt like but see and I'll ask this question so so to you love Putin that's insane let me say let me ask you this question You don't think it's weird that we live in America supposed to be the freest state information is supposed to flow freely yet we put on our news every day we put on our news

and you never get to see the leaders of the world talking you maybe see a one second clip if a guy's at war with a country that we're supporting and that we're basically in a proxy war right now that could go really bad and pull the rest of the world in

let's be real I mean that can happen Yeah. Shouldn't we be able as Americans to see what Poon has to say for at least 10 minutes and uninterrupted on the news? Shouldn't our reporters be over there saying, okay, and like the whole thing. The fact that we don't get to see this, bro, should be the first sign to you people who think you're so damn smart. You know everything. You know, we're idiots the way we think. When's the last time you got to see a world leader like the president of China or whoever it is, sit there and speak translator where you can sit there and see what they're saying for 10 to 15 20 minutes on the mainstream television you have never seen it man ever we don't watch c span we don't even

watch what our own politicians are doing so you want to sit here and debate politics with me or talk about what's going on in america or what you don't even know the own policies in your own country and that's why the lack of knowledge and the lack of of of caring and you know i truly leave the time for us to pay for our sins is here. I feel like if we don't have a serious, serious discussion and a serious shift, not just in D.C., us as Americans, brother, we ain't going to be here much longer. And I love when people go, well, we're America. Even Albanians say, America will never fall. You don't think the Romans said the same things. You don't think the ancient Greeks said the same shit. You don't think the Mayans as powerful they was with their pyramids.

and brother it's crazy when they say history repeats itself that's exactly man i know you're on the same page of this it's exactly those same cycles you see times may change technology may change but the sicknesses of the human being the mental illnesses the defects the heart and the soul have been the same throughout time and that's the history that's repeating itself the same degeneracy um so you know okay you know who nostradamus is right of course okay so well keep in mind i sort of i'm there's i've got a wide grouping of people that i uh different ages do you know who know shrodomis is see that's scary right listen listen that's just because we're talking to his tech he looks like he's yeah early 20s maybe even 19

listen i've talked to this kid all the time super smart super smart very i mean he can tell you anything that oh even if you say hey how do we do this can you do this well i don't know but i'll figure it out. And by the time the video comes out, he does forgive it out. Yeah, he can, but but yeah, he's got, anyway, Notre Dameus. So I say stuff all the time. He's like, what, huh? Same thing with my girlfriend. So anyway, Notre Dameus said,

I was watching this the other day. And it's so funny because obviously there were, I was when I was a kid, I was watching stuff on Notre Dameus. There were all, there's always these, they're always predicting every other year. The, the signs of Notre Dame is. And they put those specials on TV. A flying horse. So one,

he was saying in 20, 23, Now, this is a guy, no Strahama. He named the actual year? Yeah, it's supposed to be 20. Well, they believe it's, no, no, I'm pretty sure they said it was, I mean, he never really names the year. But, so basically, they're saying that they predict when it is 20, 23. So I listened to this a couple of months ago. He said multiple things were going to happen in 20, roughly 20, 23.

One, the Pope was going to. They said there will be. First death of the year. It's great. Yeah, yeah. Pope was going to die. And there would be a new pope, which would, uh, create scandal or something in the Catholic Church.

Second thing he said was that the two great powers or something like this. Go to war. We'll go to war. It will be a fiery war. He said, so he's got like, listen, he's got like four or five things that he predicts. Do you know who nailed prophecy more than anyone in my opinion? And I've studied Oshaddamas. I challenge anyone to study the signs of Judgment Day in Islam.

It'll blow your mind away. You want to talk about someone that predicted the future? I dare you to research the signs of Armageddon from the Prophet Muhammad. I'll give you just a couple. Okay. One sign was he said that the Arabs, the desert Arabs that wear sandals, would, first he said that the deserts of Arabia would become green, meaning with like grass, right? Yeah. 60 years ago, when you were in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, it was all sand.

Same thing in Israel. They planted all those, they planted hundreds and hundreds of sweden. the first thing. Then he said that they will come with the Arab, the Bedouin, right? The penniless Bedouin would compete with one another to build buildings that touch the sky. Where are the greatest skyscrapers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said one will build one and then the other one will say, no, no, no, I can build a bigger one.

Right now, the biggest building in the world is being built in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, yeah. They're like literally every six months to a year, there's like a little bit higher, a little bit higher. He said there will be a net like a spider's net that entangles the entire world. What is it called? The World Wide Web. People don't understand. And I was about to ask you this question, too.

What does a web do? Why does a spider cast its web? It casts its web to entangle its prey. You're every day on the World Wide Web. And what the Internet of Things coming out and where crypto is going. And I think if people really understood where crypto is going to go, and I believe that's the move. That's what this is all about, in my opinion. that they can literally program

how much meat you can buy if people understood blockchain the way I understood once I understood what blockchain was I was terrified so you're not concerned you don't think that it's just to track the money

but it's to limit your ability to spend the money also going to enslave humanity okay I don't believe the story of Yoshamahara some Japanese wizard I believe if they told us

their real intentions where crypto nobody would use it so they had to make you fall in love with it they had to make everybody make money so they felt good. And then once you started living the good life, they had to make it crash. You'd be like, oh, shit, and beg for regulation. I knew if crypto could truly not be regulated, they would never let it exist. And people go, well, they can't control it. Really? They

can't control it. It's real simple. The only reason you got your Bitcoin up to 70,000 was because people like Elon Musk said, we're going to accept Ethereum, we're going to accept Bitcoin or whatever coin they said they were going to accept. How it really has value. Okay. Yeah. And all it takes is for a government to say no U.S. Corporation is allowed to accept this coin. What happens to the value night, Matt? No, it drops. Thank you. We're going to have crypto friends.

I promise you. That's the play. That's the move. That's the future. But they're crypto, the one that they can control, the one that is going to make our lives, I promise you a living in hell. There's a theory about where the government will help sustain or help create a crisis, and then there will be the crisis.

And then that allows them to go in with regulation. Conflict resolution. Theory? Conflict, resolution. So at first you say... Conflict, problem, reaction, solution. Oh, okay. Problem reaction solution.

Right. Problem reaction. So initially they know they want to do something, but they can't, they know they don't have the support. So then they let it get so bad. If they told you they're going to control your entire life with crypto, would you ever use that coin? Would you ever want to use?

No, of course, of course. So what do we do? We create a situation where you're begging us for regulation. You take out the dollar. I think it's why they're printing as much as they're printing. I actually believe all this printing is purposely to crash US dollar to force us into crypto

and I'm glad we have a date stamp here today January 8th or whatever it is I'm on the record what is the other question I was going to ask you something else you love me yeah he said before you got here this is going to be interesting

okay I have my other question oh man I had another question too my question to you is would you rather have the world with the internet or before? Because you said Generation X, we're both from the same time period. Knowing what I know now, brother, I'd rather have the world without the internet.

I know there's convenience and navigation and all this other bullshit, but the amount of evil that's starting to come from it, everything has duality, as they say, right? The way we're going right now, brother, the suicide rates. One out of 12 Americans on antidepressants, man. We're more connected than we've ever been in our lives,

but we're more disconnected than we've ever been. People think it's cool. Like, I have a name for this generation. You can call it X, Y, Z. Anyone that is born after the internet speeds went higher. So now I'm not going to say right when the internet came out, but let's say like in the early 2000s. You were born in that time.

When I really started taking over. Okay. You are known. And I would say, actually, I would go a step further. Social media, that generation, right, where social media really took foot. Where it became important. Do you know what they're called in my book?

I gave them a name. What's that? The Easter Bunny Generation. Why is that? How is that? When the Easter comes around, you have these nice chocolates that are for sale. You go to your supermarket, you buy some chocolates. Most of those chocolates you've noticed are beautiful on the outside, but they're empty.

They're hollow on the inside. You ever seen a lot of Easter bunny chocolates? It's actually right. It has to write solid for you to know that it's solid because most Easter chocolates are hollow. The egg is hollow. It's chocolate, but it's empty on the inside. That's just generation, brother. Beautiful on the outside.

everything is with selfies and beautiful pictures and I'm only showing you the best moments of my life meanwhile inside I'm full of sorrow I'm sad I have no real substance I'm an Easter bunny that's what I call them the Easter bunny generation beautiful on the outside empty hollow on the inside

what bothers me is the entitlement that that the younger generation has is that They just think they deserve so much, but you're not working. You're not going to school. You're not doing anything. You're living at your mother's house.

You're not busting your ass. You're playing video games all day. I worked from the age of 15 I worked, bro. Yeah, listen, same thing. 15 years old, all summer long I worked. Bus tables. Carried luggage is up to rooms. Listen, me and my buddy is, this is horrible.

I had a buddy whose dad owned a massive construction company. like they rebuilt they built from brand new but they also rebuilt um and did fire damage they built uh they bit sick co gas stations remember those i don't even think they're around yeah no this still around at least up in jersey they uh he built almost every uh pizza hut in florida so i like pizza hut last line in my listen we uh you can crave pizza hungry now now now what about now whenever it hits you wherever you are grab an oh henry bar to satisfy your hunger with its delicious combination of big crunchy salty peanuts covered in creamy caramel and chewy fudge with a chocolatey coating

swing by a gas station and get an oh henry today oh hungry oh henry it's a and not crave pizza you can crave pizza and not crave regular pizza i don't know if people realize that was a difference and every summer we worked for him so i've put in drywall and burned down apartment buildings i've dug ditches to you know or footers and footers for houses i've done ditches for to put in driveways i've done digging the ditches no joke this is i mean and this is so this is listen cleaned out um cleaned out uh grocery stores i want to say publics but that's i think down here so publics like grocery stores yeah all of them like i mean we we we stepped on nails or nail shot straight through my foot had to go to once listen i i i i've and this is all like

This is all See, that's a shot that I would take A tetanus shot Yeah It works Yeah Well listen

And then go And then come home And have my And then come home And on Saturday or Sunday My parents wait me up Boom boom boom Boom

Hey We're going to do this Go mow the yard Take out the trash Clean up the kitchen You know mom I stepped on a nail Well then be careful

My mother would have me Climb up in a tree Climb out on the branch You know I'm way out on the branch And you know I'm 13 I fall I'm dead

She's like A little bit further And God God forbid you didn't do good in school, too. Oh, yeah, listen. So it's like, you know, and I'll use myself an example. You know, sometimes, you know, some of my kids don't do good in school, and it's like no big deal. And it's like, it's not that I care about it.

The only thing I like about school is that it teaches you some type of responsibility where you have to perform. I was a straight A student. I got a academic scholarship to Pace University. Did it change my life all those straight A's and all that shit? No, I didn't. Most of the shit I learned, I learned working. And that's why I tell people Like it doesn't matter

Like everybody wants to have like this dream job Right like it doesn't work like that man You got to fall down Over and over and over again And I think with a lot of If I could give a hack to the younger generation I'm going to be watching this The hardest thing in life is not to make it

The hardest thing in life is to know what you actually want Because once you know what you want Then you move and you gravitate towards it Listen sometimes getting what you want Is the worst fucking thing out there You know Sometimes you're getting what you want Can actually need to destruction

Yeah yeah So it really is the journey. You really have to kind of kick back. It's funny. But you didn't answer. Would you want the world before the internet or after the internet? That's a tough one. Listen, real quick, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

One of the best movies ever made on Earth. Right? Bueller. Do you remember when he's, just before he gets picked up? I had a Ferris Bueller moment, by the way. He's laying in bed and he looks at the camera and he's talking to the camera, and he says, life moves pretty fast. Sometimes you've got to stop and look around every once in a while.

might miss it. Right. That's the exact quote, by the way. Right. So, yeah, so I mean, to me, it's like, look, you know, that the whole, you know, the journey is like, I love every day waking up. Like, probably the worst thing that could happen to me is what if I did hit it big and suddenly I got millions of dollars? Like, my life might turn to crap. No, you want to hear something funny? Why? Because you brought up Ferris Bueller. I love Ferris Bueller. I used to work for Hilton Grand Vacations, which is actually where Trump had his inauguration speech, was at the Hilton. on 6th Avenue. It was the largest hotel in New York. Okay. So I used to sell

timeshare in the penthouse. You want to talk about a sales office, beautiful place, right? I call out on a beautiful Saturday, right? It was the Immigrants Day or International Day or Immigrants Day parade. Shout out to Albanian roots. My man Marco Kepi, he does a beautiful because it's really expensive to have a parade, bro, and we're not as many as, we're not as many as the Puerto Ricans, like the Puerto Ricans have their own parade, the Dominicans. So the Albanians, we kind of like, you know, we use the immigrant state parade as like our own parades because like every nationality like showcases. And they've now put the Albanians at, like, even though it's just a one alphabetical order, they put us last because we'll have like 10,000

people show up. Right. So one year, I like, I want to go. Beautiful day. I call out sick. I'm on the float going past my job that I called out sick. You know that one scene? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's Beresbuehers singing, Tonka Shane. He's singing Tonka Shane, on the float, passing his father. Remember his dad's in the office building? Yeah. I'm literally on the float, the Albanian route. Shout out to Marco Keppi.

I'm on the Albanian float going past my job, knowing my coworkers can come down at any second. I'm like, oh, my God, I'm Ferris Bueller. Yeah. True story. That's a great thing. And the float pulls on the side of my building. As soon as it pulled on the side of the building,

I jumped off the floor and ran into the nearest subway and got the hell out of there. That's all I needed was to get caught. True story, man. Let me think. Yeah, I was going to say... I wish I kept a journal of my life, but I'm sure God does. I'm going to have to see some of the crazy shit I did in the next life. I'm like, oh, shit, you actually did that.

Why don't you write a book? I got sons. If they only knew half their shit, their father did. Don't put it. If they only knew half, they shit like a ghost. You got to abbreviate it. Yeah, you got to condense some scenes. Listen, I got entire...

I'll write it as a woman. Rebecca lover. No. I've got a whole... Listen, I have a whole crime. There was a whole... arrest in my book that an arrest a scam and an arrest that I never even mentioned like there's all kinds of stuff in my book because there was so much fraud that I never even go into I just just

remove that that portion and just keep on going or I abbreviate an entire section into one or two paragraphs you know a very vague paragraph here there that covers it filthy filthy filthy bookman well anyway um so uh yeah okay so I was going to say we went off on tangents today man we went everywhere in this conversation it's fine listen not all you know not every podcast can stay 100% you know on on one specific topic although those are the ones that tend to do the best but you know like like to like to me look look to me like like I was saying like some of the people that watch me they'll see me on other podcasts and they want to know like what I think about this what I think about that it's odd because like you know you've interviewed a lot of people I

had you on my show. And here was my whole logic, even with my own show, which, if you don't mind, I plug the comeback, the comeback team, right? It's about people that have been through crazy. Beck Lover. Beck Lover and the comeback team. So I feel like, you know, you're a part of the like, anyone that comes on my show is a part of the comeback team. Like, you've been through things in your life. You have, you know, crazy past yourself. I'm definitely coming back. You came through it. Yeah. And now you're in a different, you know, different time in your life. You have the wisdom that you have. And it's to inspire people to never give up. But, you know, I've had all these big guest to Carol Baskin from Tiger King and all this other crap but my point is if you've

heard one of their interviews bro you've heard them all meaning I like this open format I like that okay we could touch a little bit about who I am but I think like you said your viewers even my viewers are like Beck we love listening to talk about this other crap you know so I feel like you know when you're just like a Vlad TV and I'm not knocking these people but like if you've been on Vlad then you go on rogue and like it's like you're hearing the same it's a little bit different but if they're just talking about their life one podcast covers that there's no reason to keep watching

like some of these crime figures right they're going on they're talking about their life exactly the same way every time I think after a while once you've been out there enough it's more interesting to have this type of a conversation where we can talk and people get to really say wow I know this guy did this he was a group but I like the way this guy thinks I've seen he's evolved

or whatever the case may be so I went a little bit more towards like when I had these guys come on my show I'm like I really don't care about your story We all know your story. Anyone that following you here already knows your story, let's talk about some shit that they would never hear from you on another podcast. You know what I mean?

Because it gets boring, man. It's repetitive after a while. It's like I'd rather have a no-name person on my show that no-onez-ever heard of than if I interview Will Smith. First of all, he's going to state to whatever script his PR company comes unless he doesn't slap us. And it's like, how don't you think can that be? I'd rather pull some unknown that no one's ever heard of.

That's me personally Everybody has their own taste But I like I love this This type of discourse You know what I mean? What do you think of the Will Smith thing? I think he definitely probably regrets it I've seen his son a few times

In the last couple of months His son was in the city He did his birthday at a place that You know I'm kind of connected to in the city And sweet kid bro His son Yeah

Listen we all make mistakes man It hurt me because I've always looked up to Will Smith. Right, like I just thought he was a great guy. And you know what? No one's saying he's not. Man, everyone, you know what it is, man? You could be going through a really hard time. We never know what people are going through.

I have a good poker face. There's times where I'm cracking jokes. And I'll always say it, man. I think the clown is the saddest one in the room, bro. You know, there's times people are with me and they're laughing and they think, you know, everything in my life is wonderful. And I'm fucking dying inside, bro. You know, and I think a lot of men, we do this, man.

Like, we have, our world is on fire. On the exterior, you have no idea that I'm fucking dying, bro. Yeah. I got $5 on my account. I'm going through a divorce. My kids told me to go, fuck my, you know, whatever the case may be. And, you know, losing so many friends to, like, taking themselves out. Because I hate to use that word because it'll.

Yeah, yeah. You know, they give up on life was part of the inspiration for why I started my show, right? Right. Because I never did it for the money. I said, if I could save one life, man. And one of my favorite quotes in the Bible and the Quran is to save one life, is to save all of humanity. And a woman one time contacted me, and I won't say her name.

And she said, I found out I was about to go blind. In six months, I'll be blind completely. I decided to take my own life. I heard your show, and I decided not to. To me, it was like, I was like, I'll never stop this. I don't care if I make a penny. so many men though man I've lost so many friends man

in the last few years especially the last few years and the second week of the pandemic I saw one of my friends not realizing I was watching him pass away on a video he was taken out by police unfortunately and this is a guy I knew my whole life amazing human being

sweetheart I could see him in the video there's something wrong with him he's mentally disturbed something happens to him this is not like him and I didn't realize it was him I'm watching the video because it went viral and then I read the article and I'm like oh my god this is my friend I literally witnessed the death of my friend I realized and I was watching him this happened like two months into the so when everything started like bro it broke us bro you know it brought a lot of us to our knees mentally we really got to see what we were

made of mentally and I think spiritually bro a really dark time man I think that a lot of people have like a purpose and it's it's amazing why yeah it's amazing what you can put up with and what you'll deal with and you know for you know for a you have a reason for you have a reason to for you know a purpose if you don't have a purpose then nothing makes any difference this is a way a lot of people they get like they you know of course the thing about most people like their purpose in life is like let's say to make money because they think if they ultimately get enough money they'll make they'll be happy but that's not really your purpose because there's tons of rich people that commit suicide every day bro right because they don't have a purpose they got the money they thought

that would do it hollow they don't have their monies but right so i i think and i like i said i think that's a problem with a lot of a lot of people out there that are like i don't understand why i'm not happy why we you don't really have a purpose like your purpose is what just to survive what's crazy to me is that like when they have children and that wasn't enough of a reason like when i lost my brother. I've been through a lot of crazy things, Matt. I told you. I lost 30 people in a war. So when the Kosovo war started, you know, I was like 14. I think I was 15 when I got the phone call and people can see on my Instagram. I actually have the videos pinned on my Instagram if they want to check it out at B-E-K-Lover, NYC. My name's Beck, but there's no C. Beck, lover,

NYC. I get a phone call and I find out that 30 of my cousins, their brother. There's, you know, this one village that my aunt lived in that I was very close to. Every summer I spent two months with these people. They're the reason I learned how to speak Albanian. I was born in America, so Albanian wasn't my first language. English was. My mom came in when she was like six, bro. Like my mom, I have more of an accent than she does, which I don't know how that happened,

but my mother sounds like speaks perfect English. And I get this phone call and I find out 30 people I love that are wiped out. And I lose my mind, bro. I remember just running down the street and just screaming and yelling. And at that time, my city wasn't as big, like my town where I grew up. I grew up on the Hudson River facing Manhattan. And I'm just yelling and screaming. I just lost my mind, bro.

And all these people are coming out. Like, what's wrong with Beck? What's wrong with Beck? And I'm like, yo, they killed my family, man. I remember like yesterday, you know? Then, you know, 9-11 happened. I came out from underneath those buildings while they were on fire and, you know, seeing that destruction and just the sadness from it, you know.

But nothing compared to 2013 when I lost my brother. When I say my brother, it was really my mom's brother, but me and him were so close in age. I spent every day of my life with this guy. He held me in his arms from the minute I was born. He only lived a mile and a half away from me. And when I say I'm a New York City nightlife, this guy was the king in New York. I was a legend. He was the king, the emperor.

He's the reason I got my name. He gave me the name Beck Lover. I mean, this guy literally influenced me in so many different ways. And when he passed away, you know, he passed away in a car accident. It was the first time I had been knocked down many times in life And I believe there's knockdowns And then there's knockouts

Knockdowns are Anything that can be replaced You lose your job which is hard It knocks you down You even get divorced Guess what bro? I promise you Guess what sweetheart If you're watching this

And your husband just left you I promise you can be in love again I promise you can get married again If you really want to I probably won't be If that ever happens I think I'm gonna stay like this The rest of my life

I think me and Matt will just build A sick bachelor pad at my end I mean, just go crazy. I'm in case to be married. We take over the pocket, are you? Yeah. All right. That's fine, that I'm going to happen.

Cut. Yeah. So, in any event, I think that, you know, when you go through these things, like, you know, you go to jail, as long as you get back out, that's a knockdown. A knockout is you don't get out. You lose something that you can never get back. Like, you lose, God forbid, your health to a point where it debilitates you. someone passes a way that is so important to you that it shakes you to your core bro

and I can understand now why people take their lives when they lose someone that they love bro especially a child got from like brother it's devastating there was this woman I became friends with and I'm having trouble remembering her name but her daughter something bad happened to her in school she became an advocate about speaking out against like you know things that happen to women

when it's against their will avoiding the word beautiful young girl I became friends with them through social media they were just to come on the comeback team her daughter was very very famous bro i'm trying to remember her name i gotta go back on because it's been a couple years and sometimes we don't think about these dark things she ends up taking her life bro i kept contacting her mom i was scared her mom was gonna do the same thing guess what her mom did i kept reaching out to her mom please don't lose hope i know your daughter did this i know your sack because what happened to them was someone in the school did something to the to the girl and instead

of them punishing because it was like a star athlete his dad was like the mayor it was a big thing it was like a documentary about this i don't know why i can't lately matt i don't know literally since the minute i turned 40 i had one of the sharpest minds i could just pull information i can't i can see did you get covid i did twice yeah i could see people's faces but i can't remember their names like i used to and it's driving me crazy okay it's driving me nuts but i'm also under a lot of stress right now so have you thought about taking the Joe Rogan the memory thing

what is it what is that there's something definitely wrong bro I'm not as sharp as I used to be I can't remember and I take it I can't pull names and it's supposed to help with memory and everything

I'm having trouble pulling names man I think her name was Sherry right so but it's just such a tragic story and I knew I knew her mother was in danger and I kept like you know please don't give up please don't give up and she took her life

so what I'm saying is like those are knockouts man When you lose something that you can't replace. When my brother passed away. Alpha brain. Sorry. Go ahead. Alpha brain. Sorry.

When my brother passed away, I didn't think I'd ever get back up again, though. I disappeared from New York Night Live. I'm very involved in the scene in New York City. They're extremely involved. You know, even, you know, my brother used to own one of the largest nightclubs in the world with one of his partners. And I was in the background. Yeah, Ryan in the Heart of Times Square, man.

And they had it for about seven years. And I've been executing events and consulting to nightclubs. for over 23 years now and my friends control New York City you know shout out to Richie Romero shout out to Samir

shout out to Nathan you know these are the top guys in the New York City scene Tao group huge huge companies but you know that was the first time in my life that I didn't know what to do man

like I was just stunned nothing mattered I had lost like you said the why what gave me my why was I was looking at my boys you got to get back up I had this small little voice I kept saying don't give up don't give up don't give up it's going to get better I didn't believe it but I kept saying don't worry it'll get better and it took forever Matt so after feeling that type of pain and realizing now now I understand why people take their lives they don't hang on a little bit more to another day

I got Kevin Heinz coming on next should probably I don't know if you've had him yet but he's going to be my next guess, the guy that jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. Amazing story. We got to get him on your show too. Sick guy, though. Like, yeah, for the guys from the suffering podcast on, the two cops. No, they're good? Yeah, Kevin,

shoot, I forget his last name. I text him all the time. There are two police officers that were involved in police shootings and like both of them just retired. Like they just, like, it's like, it kind of like, you know, it kind of crushed them because you know, obviously the one guy

guy well I think Kevin I think Kevin got shot or did he shoot someone and then the other guy shot someone in a high-speed chase they actually ended up in a car wreck together and and they were facing each other and he ended up taking the guy's life but he's like it just you know he basically was I guess you know just PTSD and just completely like flipped out about having to having to be in that position it's like he's like I can't be in that position again so but they do the suffering podcast where like if you're suffering you know you gotta get through it

you got to this you got to that so yeah it's very much the same thing you're kind of talking about it's it's so important Tyler does him no no I'm saying like it's so important like I didn't realize it until I got that message from that woman that day that like there's people listening to our stuff bro you you don't realize you put it it's like when you make

content you throw it out into the ocean it's like a bottle yeah right with the letter but I can't believe how many people stop me in the streets I'm like but I'm like not even you know I had a lot proms during these last couple years because you say certain things and then all of a sudden they suppress you yeah but on other other you know pages so guess what happened was people were taking some of my clips and the same thing i saw a lot of your clips have millions of views so that

someone also take it man and it still gets out there somehow and it's freaking crazy i'm like how do you know me like my youtube has been capped to 8000 and it was shooting like skyrocketing when i first started right yeah well i saw one's got two 300 000 uh views like one of one of the videos uh like you've got a bunch of that and then suddenly a lot of TikTok crazy oh yeah I'm just talking on YouTube um hundreds of millions of views so they have people all the time that will say like you know bro you've got you don't know what you've gotten me through you've got me through so much and to me it's like like I'm like well what could I have gotten you through like you know because to me it's just this is just me just talking and just you know to me I'm I'm kind of a douchebag and it's like

I'm just you know I just say whatever comes in my mind and I'm talking and I'm I'm I feel like kind of middle of the road on most subjects, but I got tons of, I get people all the time that send me stuff that says, look, you don't know how much your podcasts have mean to me, how you got me through a tough time in my life. And I'm thinking, like, what? Like, you don't know how inspiring you are. I'm like, inspiring. I've never tried to be inspiring. Like, I'm not trying to be inspiring. How did I inspire you? Like, I guess it was by accident. But, yeah, it's real, man, listen, real stuff. Listen, there's billions of us, right? So there's going to be variables where people have gone through similar situations as you and you'd be amazed how much it how far

actually goes man and you know people want to feel like they're in the room with us man that's why i love this type of a format we're having a real conversation never know where it's going to go they want to feel like they're the third man it's me and you and they're right here with us and you know what if you're watching this you are and when they leave that comment and you respond to them it's interactive man and that's the cool thing about it i mean there's a negative side to it too you know i think is and i always look back and think think about this one thing is that you know You can have the same message. You know, somebody else can have the same message.

I can have the same message. But the delivery is different. And I remember I had a mortgage broker that worked for me one time. Her name was Susan Barker. Best mortgage broker that ever worked for me. She was amazing. But she came in for the first six or seven months that she worked for me. She came into work at, you know, 10.

She would leave at two, come back at four for an hour and leave again. She would take off a day here, two days here. Yeah, man, sales is like that, man. If you burn out, but if you're effective, what the hell do you care about the hours? I do care. Why? Because it's a... If she's producing, though, like really producing.

She's not producing. Okay, no, that's different. She's an amazing broker that's not producing. Why? Here's why. Because you're working 20 to 30 hours a week. You should be consistently coming in at 9 o'clock, leaving at 5 or 6 at answering your phone at night. And here's the problem.

She had a big group of friends. And she was a very good friend. person and had a lot of friends and she was a great friend right like literally her friend goes and gets a boob job susan takes three days off of work um to take care of her friend you're a good friend i understand that um her friend another friend moves susan takes the whole day off to help her move uh so it this goes on like every time somebody had some had something happened her friend gets a divorce she goes and spends a couple days with her most of the time those people won't even help you when you need them now right that's the truth right and you're saying

thing. Volleyball. She was on a volleyball team. She was on a this team. She's the person that everybody relied on to organize going to the concert. She was the grease of their lives and she didn't realize that she's the cog. Right. And so here's what happened. I used to tell her all the time like Susan, you got to come in at this time. What are you doing? You got a of this. You got to that. What's going on? I couldn't fire her because her half-assed attempt was still better than a lot of business. It was better than these guys that are to work in 50 hours a week. And sometimes they know that I take advantage, Bill. Salespeople do that shit. So what happened was one day she came in...

Producing just enough to stay. She's producing just enough to pay her bills. And she was constantly coming to me and be like, look, I got an issue. Could you lend me $1,000? Take it against my next commission. And I was like, yeah, no problem. So I remember that's what happened one day. I go and I cut her check or I was cutting part of some of the money out of one of her checks.

And I said, hey, I cut this much out. Is that cool? She was, yeah, that's fine. Gave her the check. And I said, and she went, I'm sorry. I thought I could pay this whole thing. And I said, no, it's fine. I said, you know, it's not fine?

And she goes, what? I said, the fact that you can't seem to make this a priority, this job, which is paying all your bills. And she was, I know, but, you know, my friend, so-and-so, last way, I said, listen, listen, listen. I said, here's a problem, Susan. I said, if you made this a priority, you would be a better friend to all your friends. I said, your friend, Jennifer, who moved and you took off the day or two days to help her, one move, pack up, move, unpacking. everything you took off two days of work i said had you just hired a company you could have hired a company your friend so and so who got the boob job fuck you could have paid for the boob job she would have the best

boobs in the world right i said you could have paid you could have paid for a nurse or for her sister to take off work had you to i started giving her all these examples of what a better friend you would be and i said i know that doesn't make sense to you i said but let me explain something i said if i said do you think that if brad pitt were to go out and work at a soup kitchen and feed 200 people that day. I said, great, he fed 200 people. He scooped up the food. Maybe he bought the food.

I said, but if Brad Pitt starts his own charity and he does a charity ball where he's paying, he does a charity ball where everybody has to pay $10,000 and they get entertained by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon and several of his friends, I said, now everybody out there says, that's horrible. These people are paying $10,000 to be entertained. How much of that money goes to the charity? So the fact of the matter is, guess what? He probably raises a couple million dollars doing that. It doesn't make sense. You think, well, those rich people should just give that money directly to the food bank, but they won't. They're doing it because they're being entertained. They're getting together. They're getting photo ops. That's what works. Doesn't mean

it's right or fair, but that's what works. He can raise $10 million. or he can go by himself and go pay $10,000 and maybe scoop up some soup. I said, it doesn't make sense to you. But what I'm telling you is, start showing up at 9, leaving at 5 or 6, and you will make more money, and you can be a better friend to your friends. Facts. Now, I said that to her, and I'd given her 10 different talks. And she sat there and she goes, I know what you're saying is right. I know.

And this is what she always said. And she left. So like a month later She comes into my office Tell me you clip though No bro She came in a month later And she was making maybe 5,000 a month

And this is 25,000 This is in Florida And this is 20 years ago Yeah, decent She came in She's usually making five grand a month Maybe six She came in one month

And she made like eight grand Here's your eight grand Okay Then the next month She made like 12 grand The next month She made 20 grand. She made like 12 grand on one deal.

She made like over like $20,000. And I remember going, this is the biggest commission check I've given. To any money. And I gave it to her. I said. And you're happy to give it because you made just as much, if not more. And she turned around. And when I said, I said, I said, you did it.

I said, good job. She goes, well, I mean, she was, well, honestly, it's because of you. And I turned around. I went, what? And she goes, it's, you know, because, you know, because. because of, you know, our talk. I went, what talk? She was, a few months ago,

remember you told me if I would just make myself a priority, I could be a better friend of all of my friends? Suck your blood in that 99% of the time, Matt. And she went, and I looked at it and I went, that talk? That's the talk that get like a half-assed pep talk that I gave you after giving you five or six major talks. The half-assed what I gave you is what spoke to you

and she went yeah i just realized that you're absolutely right like if i made myself a priority then i could do better for my friends she was and i realized that i had to start saying no more in order to be a better friend and i went like i know what i wish for on my 40th birthday man look but that think about it that's what spoke to her so you may have the same message i have the same message he does it's like how you sell right if you don't adapt what you're saying to every personality you're not going to be an effective sales person it's the same thing you're delivering a message that needs to resonate right to create emotion which creates action it's not logic who knows who knows why i don't know why but my 40th birthday i lost a lot of people in 20203 not

because they passed away but they're dead to me okay a lot of dead weight a lot of bloodsuckers a lot of parasites man and you don't realize it you know you're like the shark and you have all these little fish around you and you got enough of them on your back you're not going to flow through the ocean of life as quickly as if they were not on your back as if they were not on your I didn't celebrate my 40th birthday The passage of time I'm a little mad I'm not exactly where I want to be at that age

And 40's a big number man You know, it's like a big moment You know, I think in most men's minds Like 40 years old, you know And I sat there I had a little stupid candle Because one of my friends I did nothing for my 40th birthday

And I sat there and I said God Please help me be selfish Please I need to be selfish I blew a little fucking candle out don't fucking call me right now I've done more favors than I can afford to

you and you know I'm going to be honest with you as stupid as it you said your delivery was that story resonated with me again right now it's reminding me of the wish that I made on my birthday because if you don't take care of yourself first you can't take care of anyone else

and I'm you know and if you're always taking care of everyone else you're last bro and I'm at the point right now I got so much going on the little way it hit me when like people that I really love bro people that I've helped not once not twice but like been there morally financially

and the one time I need a thing or two that are not even that big like not even a big favor that they couldn't deliver I was like yo something's wrong man let me reassess my circle real quick you can't do a little thing with me that there's no contract it's saving you a shitload of money and we both live we both eat you ain't my fucking friend man yeah I've sent you put money in your pocket been there for you you know i own a merchant service company right i handle credit card payments right bro it's a three page application i have no contract and i save you money it's like switching your cable from verizon to spectrum you know you can use any service you want why wouldn't you give it to you a boy right if you can't do something simple like that for me

after i've done years of years like not one favor not so to so like to me it's like you You can't do something small like that. How the hell are you, my friend? People say don't do business with your friends and family. I beg the differ. I think those are the first people who should go do business. Now, if you've been to fuck up your whole life and you've lost your own credibility, then no, this doesn't apply to you.

But if you've been someone with honor, integrity, you've done the right thing for people, you've helped these people out. And now you need a little bit of help. This should be the first people you ask. And if they can't reciprocate, you cut them out. I'm not saying never talk to your family again but you never ever give them a second of help ever again they can't reciprocate to you when it's something small

or a little favor or whatever the case man I'm not saying that's why you should help people is to just get something back from them but if you're always helping like this girl is always helping her friends the one that you mentioned and the one time you need something they don't reciprocate bro that's not a fucking friend bro yeah that's someone that's been using you you need to wake up and cut this fucking cancer out of your life because that's exactly what it sounds like the girl did she was the one yeah we'll

just ask her to do it and she'll come and move and she'll fucking wipe my ass for me and she'll make the call she'll be realized it i am wasting so much of my time if i the time i'm giving to these people if i just put into this job with matt i'll make 20 30 grand she figured it out she did it thank god that little talk probably changed her life because she not listen once she got that check and she saw it now it's real what matt said to me is real brother i'm done i got it no more fucking time i'm getting listen you're public now too your fucking inbox gets flooded

it's outrageous okay no offense to you guys I love you man but I'm not I have more on my table than I can handle I have more opportunity than I can even get to and it's not that I'm trying to be rude to I love you thank you for your support it's I'm not rude when I don't respond

and there's also a lot of negative shit so it's like I love you thank you for your support thank you for supporting Matt every day it's a I got this I got that. I see you here. Like, listen, I got safety concerns too, man. I got a lot of haters out there. I got a lot. So I can't just be like, oh, here's my fucking phone number.

It doesn't work like that. I do that all the time. But yeah, yeah, I shouldn't. But I know what you're saying. A lot of sometimes I don't know. No, that's what Google numbers for, bro. If you really want to get a Google number here, call this number. It's a lot of emails and text.

It's crazy. And I get, and I've got a lot of, it's funny because I'd say 95% of the people that that respond are positive. But I do. I get, I have probably four or five percent that are either middle the road or maybe two or three percent that are just vicious and and the problem is when i first did uh this podcast a few years ago and it got like a million views in like three months and i but there was a ton not a ton but there's probably 20 percent of the people were just horrible vicious and i got

like like i was like arguing with people in the comment section but now you after i love i love right six months after six months i'm now laughed the worst the comment that they're hilarious I know, and I'll tell you one thing. I'm not going to lie. When I first started on my podcast, I was horrible. You're doing a phenomenal job of letting your guest speak. I was the other way, man. I was doing all the talking.

Oh, I do too. They, no, you're great. They butchered me, right? And I'm like, let me go back and look. I didn't even look at what I was doing. So I go back, I'm like, they're fucking right. Yeah, yeah. I wrote back, I'm like, yo, you guys are right.

I'm sorry. They were like, the fact that you were possibly, I turned my haters into my follower. Like, you know, the fact that you were humble enough to admit that you sucked. I was like, dude, I sucked. They were like, we're going to give you another chat. Like, now they love me.

They share my shit. So it's like, they help me get better, you know? But I just, listen, man, I think what you do is very positive. What I try to do in my show is positive. I don't see where the room for negativity is. Now, when I talk about the Albanian situation and all that stuff, I get a lot of hatred from the people that are supposed to be traditionally my enemies. I don't hate any of these people.

They need to wake up. We have the same fucking enemy right now. we're being programmed to think that we're each other's enemy when we're both in poverty we're both suffering we're both leaving the place that we come from because of what's going on in the world and you know the movement to have like basically one world society right we're avoiding certain words that's kind of where we're at brother i i pray for for a bright future for all of us America's definitely in trouble the world's in trouble and i'm hoping somehow 2023 hopefully something good can come out of this. Something can shift in the other direction. Hey, I appreciate
