Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, man. Look at this. Look at us. Who would have thought? Who would have fucking thought? Remember when Braddy used to be a dick to us when we weren't shit? Be honest. Was I actually a dick? You were always good to me, except for one time.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Yeah. The time where that. many times. Oh my God, wait. Do you remember when Steve, we always talk about this? No, when Steve brought the lady,
Starting point is 00:00:37 randomly picked up the lady from the gas station and then she was punching Brad in the face and didn't know what to do so he grabbed me by the neck and threw me out of the gym. Oh, what was her, T. Wayne or something?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Yeah. She punched me in the face multiple times. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I took it from him. I'm not going to like a hit Steve. No, he was looking around and he was getting so mad
Starting point is 00:00:55 because she was hitting him and he couldn't do anything because I can't hit a girl. Bro, you should actually respect that that lady hit you instead of her. Yeah, I do. No, I took it for the team. And I've done stuff like that to you too where like I'm frustrated and I take it out on you.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Oh my God. Do you remember when we had the merch thing when everyone's coming? It was Steve had like a meetup in the back and everyone was coming to the back of your gym. Yeah. And then I turned the camera. You filmed that? I filmed it. I'm like, where's, we're Stine and Brad? And I turn and he's going nuts on you.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And you're like, okay. It was like Napoleon Dynamite. Like when he chokes him from the back of the neck. Yeah. And then he put me in a zoo culture locker. There's no lockers there. Oh, wait, there were lockers. Yeah, you did stuff in the locker.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I remember that. Don't remind me in my high school days. Yeah. But isn't it interesting how both of you guys have like completely transcended what you were doing before because what you were doing before
Starting point is 00:01:39 was like you were essentially not everyone's bitch you weren't anyone's bitch you were doing a job but it was all behind the same. You were kind of Steve's bitch for a little bit. You were just kind of like, I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:01:48 He was trying to be condescending? No, but he was. I'm not even trying to be mean. Okay, so some people would say you were his bitch, some other people would say you were very hardworking. You did work very hard.
Starting point is 00:01:57 You were a hard work. He set up a lot of shoots And you went really hard. You did go harder. That was the hardest I've ever gone on my life. You think harder than now? Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:06 Yeah. You know, it's interesting you say that because I feel like I remember editing and being in the grind. Like, it's a different grind. Like, you're up at 7 a.m., up all night. You don't stop editing, blah, blah, blah. It's like, you're at this grind work. Now it's like, it's still a grind and it's so hard. And, you know, you have to be mentally, physically.
Starting point is 00:02:27 everything's like it's different than like the major differences is back when we were doing that shit the pressure now is way higher yes to be that's way more pressure how much of though that that time like that you guys spent that you grind in in a different way helped you now I think it was everything I learned so much everything was like a learn I feel like now I look back I wish I could tell my younger self like be patient you're learning like you're figuring out like I've so much knowledge of this industry that it's actually probably better to start off like that because you learn everything that people who are just starting would never know yeah I'm sorry though it is great no it's awesome no it's awesome no you look great oh I can't rock a Nike tech on the top oh you can't
Starting point is 00:03:13 you look so good you look amazing say keep going I want to stop you you might to talk to Central C about it I don't know you know that's his thing now yeah he claimed that on weird I'm rocking a fucking Nike tech for five six years I don't know what that guy's talking about he isn't no old you you started it that's what they're saying that's what they're saying no but i just think it's it's cool like just genuinely like like like seeing what you guys have done i mean it's like oh boy i know i fuck with i fuck with you obviously i don't fuck with you as much stuff no no no fuck with like i fuck with you talk shit oh oh yeah like belittle because he's small and like kind of annoying sometimes and like ugly and it's like i talk bad about okay wait i'm not ugly no sorry i meant like just
Starting point is 00:03:49 like not normal like he's really attractive in comparison to you it's like kind of like oh so now you're trying to throw shit at me no no no no i'm just saying i'm You got a new girlfriend, though, so that's, you know. Yeah, you got a new girl. I'm a good-looking guy. You're a great-looking guy. You're honestly average. You like Leo.
Starting point is 00:04:01 You're like Leo. I take that back. You got really nice blue eyes. You got a really nice blue eyes. Yeah. You stand deep in that. Continue with the bullshit. So listen, but I'm just saying like, I know I'm throwing shade, but it's honestly
Starting point is 00:04:13 because I'm trying to tell you guys I'm really proud of both of you, for real. I know I film a lot of content with you. Yeah. And I have, I filmed a good amount with you. But like, to see where you guys have come is actually really, really fucking dope. Thank you, Brad. And I've been in it for so long and I've seen people come and go. And I remember you specifically when I first met you and I was like watching you
Starting point is 00:04:32 film and like watching you like, I don't know, like be in the mix and then talk to you off camera. I always kind of how I felt about certain other creators in my like, you know, other people that I saw and was like, oh, this person really got it. You always had it. You always have. Both you always had it. And it's just so cool to see how you guys are actually doing it now.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Because a lot of people talk about doing shit trying to do shit, but they get caught in like whatever their rut is. and whatever they're doing then, and they don't really transgress. They don't really transcend what they're doing. And both of you have really done that. And now you've even experienced situations where, because we've talked last time since the pod,
Starting point is 00:05:06 where you've had people in your own camp who essentially were doing what you were doing and kind of, like, you've experienced the fallouts with people. You've experienced enough of everything. And I know you as well have gone through like certain shit with, you know, everyone you film with, everyone you filmed with, you know, historically. But it's just cool to see.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I'm really proud of you guys for real. That's kind of like, that's why I wanted you on this pod right now because both you guys were in the same situation because I remember from the outside, filming content, me being on the front side, seeing you guys the whole time on the backside and always seeing like that you guys had what it took to really be a part of it for real.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And the fact you guys are now doing it, it's just, it's really beautiful. And I just want you guys to know, I appreciate you guys for real. I appreciate you, Brad. I really, you know. How nice. That was, that was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And I really, like, my whole team, I was talking about this recently with them, like no one, no one like backed us up or like came in and like, yo, look at these guys, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but you. Like, I don't think the audience would understand who I am and where I come from. You told my story. Like your podcast, your platform, you having me on, like told my whole story. And like, I don't think that would have been understood if it wasn't for you.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Well, I appreciate it. But you would have told it regardless over time. But yeah, man, it's just like seeing, knowing what it takes. I've done it for so many years and then seeing you guys do it and then watching you guys realize like the downfalls in it from actually doing it, whether it be friendship or like business relationships or just like trying to navigate it all and then still doing it and still showing it with a smile and still showing up with the energy. Like that's fucking beautiful because I know personally what it's what it's like to just deal with all the shit and deal with the people
Starting point is 00:06:46 who, you know, they're friends and they're not and they're their business acquaintance and that's the hardest part. And for me, I think, you know, we've talked about you, you were there when I've had some tough situations with friendships because for me like bro I love everyone I do this with and I've done this with and my team from the editors to who's ever a part of my team managers whatever it's like I love them I really love them and that's that's the hardest part I know you I've talked to you about it's like
Starting point is 00:07:11 that is the that's the hardest mental thing is like like the people I you know you bring around you do content with you talk to on a daily basis you run ideas by it's like those relationships are so special and like that's the hardest thing in this dude i think it's because we were all homies right like actual friends outside of content yeah when we lived in miami you feel me like it's very rare that you have somebody that you film with that you also hang out with daily off camera which we all did yeah yeah so i think that's why the whole whatever you want to
Starting point is 00:07:46 call it blow up or us doing our own things like by whatever three years ago actually can i can i comment on that? Yeah. I feel like this is something I've noticed. I've tried to tell myself now now that I'm going through it, like try to enjoy the moment a lot and taking the moment because I realized like when I just started, it's hard to enjoy the moment. It's like, we got to get this done. We got to do this. We got, yeah. What we have when we get what we go back to is like I was just enjoying the moment. Like I'd work hard, but we would go to what? We would go to Cancun and we would go to this trip and this and like those are moments that we just all enjoyed together. And that's like, that was special it's weird man because like obviously i was on the other side of it the whole time but
Starting point is 00:08:24 i can definitely relate to my all my experiences throughout where even looking back now like on my blow up and all that stuff that i've that i went through and you know transitioning from content to content and what i like to do there's this weird moment of like exactly what you said where i missed those days when it was just i was just doing almost not that i'm not doing what i love now, but not even doing it with the idea that I was going to have something from it. Like, I was just doing it because that's what I really loved. And then it became something so much more where then now you have the pressure to be like, I have to do this. This is something I need to do. So watching you guys navigate is so fucking cool. Because we talk about,
Starting point is 00:09:03 because you'll talk to me all the time about shit, call me, oh, I'm dealing with this. Like, nothing crazy, but like, it's cool to see you guys like really go through it and build shit for yourselves. Because, because that's the thing. At the same time, like, I don't think specifically now in this like industry as far as like making content it'd be really hard to succeed like solo so you have to involve other people which makes it a lot more rewarding at times but can be a lot more fucking like damn like i thought this person was there for me i thought that person was there for me like i know you've had fallouts with certain people on your on your team and and uh what is that like for you dealing with it like because now you kind of look back on
Starting point is 00:09:40 it and go damn i wish i had done more of this or i wish i hadn't done that they do you have regrets about any of that stuff? I don't have regrets. You know, I've really come to see that everything is just a part of this journey and you learn. I don't know, man, everyone who's, who's, I look at my team right now and I see everyone, they wake up, they grind, this is all they do, is how can we do better this? I appreciate all the time I've had with everyone on my team. Yeah. But it is a weird feeling when, you know, you believe in somebody you want to grow with them and maybe they don't have the same intentions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:19 But Steinney's someone who told me, he's like, Nick, Nick, Nick, that's the game, bro. Like, you got to realize that. You got to wake up. Like, what was the advice you gave me when? When? Which time? I don't even know if I want to talk about this, but like, no, just a certain person fell out. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:33 You know, we had a team member that you knew was, I was very close with. I love, I love, like, family. And they just, I feel like things got hard in the channel. I want to pause for one moment. Yeah. I think the biggest advice that I've got so this is crazy I was Gary V you know obviously no Gary Vee we were trying to link up for a while and I see him in LA at one of his conventions he's like you come through like come meet the guys coming to the team we come through
Starting point is 00:10:58 he was so busy doing like I didn't expect to have a second with him but we passed by and he stops and he's like Nick I got to just talk to you for a second I got to go back I got to talk to you for a second and he's like he's like he's like I'm so proud of you it's so amazing to see what you've done he's like your biggest challenge in all of this will constantly be on and off like you'll have your highs you're going to be up here but he's like everything is going to be about when you're right here what do you you'll have these moments of up here but what are you doing right here yeah and it was like dude the eye content and tell me he's just I'm trying to take it in but that was such a great moment because ever since him and I had that talk I always think about okay we'll have these
Starting point is 00:11:40 great moments, we'll go as hard as we can, but it's going to really matter what you do when you're here. And we had a moment in our career, it comes and goes on YouTube. You have highs, you have lows. And you're always going to, you just can't stop when you're here. And I feel like we had a moment where we were for a while, like, oh my God, like, we're homeless, like we're actually homeless. Obviously, we used it for content. But it was a tough, it was a tough moment. And all around of just like, okay, what are we doing? We have no place to live. We're staying in a hotel we're all sharing beds and sure you know someone quit yeah and it was a tough it was tough to have that that was that was like another hit i'm like i love this person yeah i would do anything for
Starting point is 00:12:23 this person and it kind of fucked with me and i was like dude i thought we were in this forever no matter what like dude we're not going we're not going down it's just a tough it's a hard moment's a challenge yeah um but it's okay and honestly honestly honestly Honestly, at the end of the day, that person's happier, and I think they're happy with their decision. I'm happy that they're happy. And I'm so happy and proud of my team.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And I've learned to be comfortable in challenging moments and to try to enjoy those challenging moments. It's not easy. One of my filmers is here, Jason, and he sees the stress, everyone stresses, but we also enjoy all the great moments together And the great times, the road trips, like the road trips are incredible. It's just, there's going to be hard times, it's going to be good times.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And the people who are here right now, I'm so thankful for it. Do you think, though, that going through the sort of hard shit, like losing people or, you know, things not going the way that you think they're going to go or content not going to way you think it's going to go? Does it ever affect the way you move forward as far as, like, continue? And does it ever make you feel like, I'm afraid to involve more people or I'm afraid to, like, do this a certain way again? I'll compare it to this.
Starting point is 00:13:36 this is the best way I can compare it to in love in a relationship people get their heart broken You would compare it to love I'm like love but this is the best way to compare it to Let's say you get your heart broken You're in the dumps Fuck love fuck I don't ever want a girl again
Starting point is 00:13:52 I'm gonna go fuck I think that's the wrong way to look at it You shouldn't push away Love and if there's something great in your life It's the same way I look at in business Like not everyone's gonna fuck me over Not everyone's gonna be here with a bad intention Like, there's a lot of great people who want to be a part of what I'm doing, what we're doing. And I believe in that.
Starting point is 00:14:15 And, and you know what? It happened. I recently got a new producer. He's incredible. His name's Jack. He goes so hard. He believes in it. He's made these videos 10 times better.
Starting point is 00:14:23 He's helped the process. He's made it more enjoyable for the viewers. We have new editors, filmers, Jason. We got this kid named Jeannie who's doing, who's running the clips, who's helping with the streams. And these guys die and live. buy this make-should happen brand and if I were to just be like fuck everybody I got trust issues I would never have these amazing people who've come in and I have to be willing to trust them they're my team they have my back I have their back but it might be hard you might have to go
Starting point is 00:14:51 through a process of finding them but I don't think you know I'm going to tell you two things that I've learned okay the first thing is with when we talk about pressure like how we all do our own things too right you employ people so what whatever. I have full-time employees, the pressure of making sure they get paid, they have their life. Like, that fucking is on. I think about that 24-7. That's, bro, that's the only thing I'm thinking about is like, Jesus, I got to make sure I get my people paid, I got to make more money so they get taken care of, stuff like that. And then the other thing I learned, too, is like, it's hard to say, but you cannot be afraid
Starting point is 00:15:28 to be selfish at certain times. So, one thing I had to learn the hard way was like, you got to look at it like this, right? Is somebody else going to put themselves before you? Fuck no. Never, right? I don't know. And I know you get that. There's a certain time when I used to do that, right? I used to put other people before me. Let me do this for them. Let me do this for them. And they didn't return the favor. And then I was like, you know what? I got to focus on me. I got to make sure I'm taking care of before other people. So I'm not talking about your team specifically. But what I'm saying is like when someone needs to do their own thing. or they got to fucking focus on themselves. You have to learn to understand. I get it. At the end of the day, you got your priorities. You want to be your own person.
Starting point is 00:16:14 You got to do your own shit. I support you no matter what. I get that and I... And I'm not talking about your team specifically. I'm just saying in general. I do agree with you. You know, some situations and my situation happen. You did tell me that.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And I do get that. You got to ask yourself that, right? When is that other person going to say, hey, there comes a point, right they've been with you for a year two years three years whatever you've been talking to somebody when are they ever going to say hey i'm going to put this person before me if i have a big opportunity right never yeah never in life i i i don't know bro it's a tough thing to learn it's so situational because yeah you're right i don't know how to explain it with my team like i it's the
Starting point is 00:16:59 one thing it makes me emotional to be honest because my team is like a a ride or die for each other which is amazing and it's I would want anyone on my team who wants something out of what I'm doing I try to make happen
Starting point is 00:17:11 like if they want to be on camera okay you know you want to be a person whatever you want to do more of this project I'll try to make it happen
Starting point is 00:17:19 sure there is a certain point where you have to be like okay we gotta do what we got to do but I've tried to create this atmosphere of like
Starting point is 00:17:30 we're like a unit how do you do that you know what you know what this is what i'll say the situation you're talking about it could have made me you know and at one point it did bring me down i did have you know some like you know fuck this bra learn blah blah blah blah but recently over the past couple months every everyone who's around me is here for a certain reason they have my back on a friendship side they have my back on a business side and they're there they're there for it and i think it's so important to be there for them
Starting point is 00:18:08 back i don't know it's just like it also comes down to how you treat your people too but i think you also here's i think well real quick i think you treat your people very well they're in the loop they know what's going on they know why they're there they know their opportunity as long as you're clear with that in the beginning then it's very i'll say it's easier right yeah so your people know what they're doing, Alex, you're talking about your new producer, all these people, they know their role. You guys have this whole community, right, of you guys wanting to build this to the biggest thing. And as long as you treat them well and you keep them together, then you've got nothing to worry about. But that's, that's, so that's the whole question that I'm going towards is like,
Starting point is 00:18:48 when you get to, again, to another moment where it's doing this, how do you keep people engaged? Because that was the question I was originally asking you was like, how are you, how are you learning through this where you go, okay, these are the things I need to do. to ensure that this doesn't happen? I think what I learned from that is why are these people here? That is the big, the why, because, you know, some people,
Starting point is 00:19:13 you got, you got, you got this movement. There's a lot of publicity, people, it goes to their head, if they're on camera, and they, about whatever, like, why are the people who are here? Why do they want to be here? What motivates them? What's the reasoning behind it?
Starting point is 00:19:29 I have people around me right now who are so passionate about the vision and the brand and what we're doing and how it affects people and it's finding that it's beautiful like their reasoning is like either one they truly believe in me and want to support me and we have this great friendship or two like they want to be a part of this bigger thing that's what it's turning into yeah and how it affects everyone washing how do you think it affects everyone watching. Like, why do you think it's so successful? What are you talking about his channel?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah. I truly believe that when people watch our videos, they're either motivated to go do what they want to do and their dreams, or they're going through a tough time that is so relatable to tough times that we've gone through, we're going through, what we're going to go through, that we're kind of all in it together and we are. And that's the community where that we're trying. to make you know what I think is I think that also when we go back to where we all started
Starting point is 00:20:33 that you could start as a cameraman and then turn something into something you never thought was imaginable right or as an assistant our story like dude wait wait but what I'm saying is that not only that you upload fucking every week for how long we've missed two weeks and I think and I think in 112 weeks which is fucking incredible by the way it's so I think people buy into the work ethic and also your story of where you know you came from being like damn like if i just get my start i can turn this into anything so it's a it's an inspiration type thing i think but that's the truth like literally i'm just i'm a i'm a regular dude from the chicago suburbs midwest kid and i really wanted to do this you're a fake bulls fan straight up all right guys
Starting point is 00:21:22 quick interrupt to the podcast hule complete protein drink like ready to drink fats protein carbs, vitamins, minerals. It's not one of those like, you know, a lot of people have made protein supplements in the past. There's, there's obviously so many of them and so many to choose from. This is a complete meal. Everything you need. So it's effectively, as effectively as it can be digesting rather than eating an actual steak, right? For example, right? That's like the, the best thing you can be getting to probably outside of this, except it's way more expensive. And obviously sometimes it's hard to just like whip up a steak first thing in the morning to get like everything you need. So this is a really easy way for if you guys are like in a
Starting point is 00:21:58 rush or if you're in a hurry you need like an actual meal because this is literally that you can and it's it tastes great i'm more of a vanilla guy not a big fan of chocolate flavors at all really in any sort of protein stuff but the vanilla tastes great the chocolate actually does taste good and again i'm not really a big chocolate guy all right if you guys want to find heel it's really simple you can find it at gnc you can find at amazon obviously you guys can get it out huel which i'd recommend go to huel dot com right now use code rottoc and you'll get 15% out plus a free gift so that kind of beats the other options but you also want to get it there You can get it on Amazon and you get it on GNC.
Starting point is 00:22:30 We'll go to HewelhuEL.com right now. Use code raw talk, 15% up plus a free gift. And I don't think those other places are giving free gifts. And free gifts are pretty nice. If you guys want to give it a shot, I recommend it. I like it. I like the taste. And to be honest, like I'm not just saying it because they're also like paying me.
Starting point is 00:22:45 It's actually a good fucking product. So give it a shot. Let's get back in this podcast. And don't be small forever. Make gains. You need food to do that. He will help you out. Let me ask you guys a question, like a personal question, right?
Starting point is 00:22:57 both you can answer this. How hard do you think it is to maintain friendships in this industry? Real friendships. I think if you're, if you're, you're good to people and you're, it's fine. But don't you think it's like, I guess what I've experienced is like most people are friend because they're like friendly in ways because it's like some sort of benefit to that to be a friend. I think there's two things. If you're generally their friend, you'll do stuff for them. They'll do stuff for you. It's mutual. Yeah. I've said one thing. Don't ever get money hungry. Like the money's, In my head, the money's going to come. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I still put everything back in the business. We're still not balling. We're still not. But, you know, if you don't, if your money is not your goal, you need to make money. It's a business. Yeah. But you can't let that be the number one priority over everything. I think one of the coolest things you've ever done was give that card to your, you're a guy who chops the stuff up.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Alex. That guy's amazing. Dude, Alex is the fucking. What did you give him? Jeep gladiator. Fucking, dope. dope car he he deserves it bro that dude is he's he's been there for me like do you think this would be what it is without him hell no yeah how dude that dude has been there for me personally he he he
Starting point is 00:24:08 he you know he's amazing he like we we we know we would go through the videos the first couple videos together and uh you know the first video i was like i'll edit this one and then we got halfway through you did you're good at that shit no nothing nothing nowhere near he's pretty good at me can't edit you can't no i just chop footage i'm not i can't can't edit. I can't edit. Not like he can. Like there's certain things I could do, but not like him. Um, we got halfway through the first video. I'm like, all right, bro, you can edit it. And then we sat there for the first three, the first couple of videos and he just picked up the vision so fast. And then as, as our channel progressed, it was like he got
Starting point is 00:24:45 better and better. And then he started doing things that like, I couldn't even imagine would be possible. That's how you find a good editor who can edit your style and take the video to the next Bro, but how do you really find that? You know, it's so hard to find. I know, and I know this is off topic, but I played Fortnite with D. Tomas with either night. Oh, fire. He was asking how we all were, and I was like, bro. I just got to a call with him the other day.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. This is Steve Oldwood's first editor. He is. He is a gift from God. Fucking believable. Yeah, he's good. He's really good. But yeah, no, I was just saying, I think that's super important.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I think with the friendship stuff, that's the hardest thing to do. And the reason that I consider both you guys friends, because we talk. We talk daily. Yeah. We talk probably once or twice a week. And just, like, hit each other up off camera. Yo, how are you doing? What do you got planned?
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah. And that's so rare, bro. Yeah. And that's what I was kind of asking. But people don't care about that, which is why I think it's fucked up. Because there's certain creators out there that don't even want that. Like, they don't care about real. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:42 That's why I was asking. That's why I was asking. I feel like they don't have friends. I could never. I don't think I would, not that I couldn't, but I wouldn't want to do this journey without my team, my friends, like. Yeah. Like, dude, that's like the whole point.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Absolutely. And like, you know, when I'm with you or I'm with you and you guys are very busy, you're doing your things and we try to bother each other, whatever. But like, I try to cherish all those moments that we have together because it's like, it's so special. And I, you know how you go through phases of life and all different, did this. And, you know, sometimes you got to do this and things passed. And you never, you never talk to those people again.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Yeah. I try to look at these moments of me being in this house with my whole team. And I try to wake up in the morning and I'm like, I really want to cherish this phase of life because one day, you know, we're all going to be married and, you know, maybe we'll have kids or this person will go this way and whatever and, you know, I just want to like cherish these moments.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I missed a lot of that. I'm not going to lie, if I look back on my time and doing it, like I missed like building real friendships. I think the hardest thing for me was always balancing the friendship with the work because I would always find myself in situations where like, you know, you expect certain things out of certain people because they're doing a job.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And then, you know, either people grow in different directions of what they want to do or how they want to do it. But it is hard, I think. Maybe for me, it's just a personal thing that I've, I found it hard to maintain the friendships with people that I don't know if there's something you want to talk about, but I know you love Jacob. I love Jake. And I think that was so special to you.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I miss that guy. And I think that that was one of those friendships that you were like, fuck. Like, how do I keep this in my life? Yeah. And I don't, I don't think you should give up on that. And I don't, I don't think he wants to give up. I think he loves you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And I feel, dude, I really think that was a special. Like, I know that was. That's why, like, when we talked about at the gym, maybe a couple months ago, I texted him, you texted him, like, bro, that was like... By the way, Jacob's the only dude, the only guy who's ever worked for me that didn't try to ride my fucking coattails after the fact. No. He's the only motherfucker who's ever worked for me.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And who left and did his own thing, like, for real. He's an amazing guy. He's also the only one that ever turned on a hooker in Cabo. Yeah, he's a real one. He's also the only one who ever stuck a gun in his mouth and was like... Remember that? Took what in his mouth? Put a gun.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah. Oh. we will not talk about what are you guys talking about no he's just he's crazy he was these guys were on a fucking doing some crazy shit there was no guns or pop pop smoke playing fucking d or blasting in the background no gun was involved we did not have no idea what's going on jacob's crazy he's just crazy he's he's not like you know he wasn't actually gonna do anything crazy yeah yeah no he's him i love like he is guys like that that are just absolute soldiers jacob was but he bro and then wake up after three hours of sleep and be ready
Starting point is 00:28:21 to fucking go bro but listen He has, and you know those too, he's there for, that's the thing. He's there for a reason. He has a purpose. He has a dream and he's, he believed in Brad. Yeah. And he didn't know when he was going to get to his dream. Bro, I would go to sleep and then I would wake up and he'd be in the same position still editing.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And I'd be like, bro, you're a fucking, dude, dude, he was putting out four YouTube videos a week. He was nuts. By himself. I've never, I've never, I've never. That guy was putting out three, was it three videos? Three videos. Bradley Martin? And what was the other channels?
Starting point is 00:28:51 Life of Bradley Martin. He was doing three fitness videos. life, brother. So he was doing three, four, he was doing four videos a week. A week. Four videos a week. Filming and editing.
Starting point is 00:29:00 This motherfucker was nice. And he goes to Brown and he says, hey, can I, can I just get a couple thousand like a little raise and. No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I gave him a rain, bro. Do you know the opportunity that you have? No, no, no, you're trolling. Do you know the opportunity that you have, sir? You're trolling.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You're trolling. And he was like, yo, could I, could you buy me dinner and I? I said, hell yeah, you're my boy. Shut the fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I went. I bought him food all the time, you dickhead. Yeah. But so, like, that's what I'm saying. I'm hammered. How do you find people like you? You guys need one more. How do you find people like that?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Last one. I'll do it. I don't think he needs to because he got to play soccer later. Yeah, no. So, um, one of the biggest things I learned in this process, I told you this the other day, too. Dude, all is you have to live in the moment or you're never going to love this job. We did, uh, we did that video and, uh, with the island. the what you know what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:29:48 the indigenous tribe thing yes yeah and like in the moment you're kind of like oh man like this is tough and then you look back and you're like bro that was an unbelievable experience that I will never have again and when I watched that video back I was like bro why were you not more appreciating
Starting point is 00:30:04 and living in the moment and I think that we get too caught up and like we need the content the camera's rolling but you're really experiencing something that like you'll never experience again and you have to start living in those moments or this shit's going to just like you know what I mean you're not going to leave here with any memories or anything like that
Starting point is 00:30:21 I've come you've had a bunch I know you've had a bunch ton but when I look back at some of this shit and I'm like even a bachelor video right from where Lila was from yeah I was like dude that was the most fun five days I've ever had in my life you know and you don't in the moment you don't grasp that and appreciate the moment and we talked about this the other day at Craigs I was not at Craig's. You were. Oh. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Okay, yeah. But we talked about this, like living in the moment and appreciating everything or else, this shit's not as fun. Yeah, I'll be honest. You know what's the craziest thing? Because, and I don't mean to cut you off, Nick. What I'm going to say is, like, I think that sometimes you're a fucking grinder, you're a hustler.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You go crazy. I appreciate that. You know what? I'm going to stop here. You told me, actually, at Craigs, I remember this. You were like, bro, you need to slow. down and start enjoying life. And you know what? I appreciate that. But you know what? Can I be real with you? My happy place? I don't know if you call it an escape or like where I'm like the most happy
Starting point is 00:31:25 is when I'm doing the video. Hold on though. This is what I had to tell you. Okay. I felt the same exact way for about nine years. Until one. And then after nine years, a long time. Because I've been doing it for a long time. And then at somewhere around nine years, I look back and I was like, oh, I didn't actually really this I didn't I didn't really like I said the same exact thing and I would say the same exact thing because people would ask me all the time like go slow down not not slow down and stop yeah like slow down and like kind of what you're talking about and I was exactly exactly the words you just said like I love the not slowing down like that's what I enjoy yeah yeah that wasn't true though bro because when I look back I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it I love working and and that's that'll forever be a part of me
Starting point is 00:32:10 but when I look back I was like damn there was a lot of moments that I could have slowed down and I could have just been like in it more in it than just like next next next next I do agree with you I feel like right now I'm like I've really been trying to check myself of just enjoying the moment yeah but I'm so happy like I love it I love doing this and what we have next plan the world tour and going to this country and all this and everything we have like I look forward to it I love it I love I feel like since the day I was born sounds crazy but I'm I love meeting people. Yeah. And I love feeding off their, of people's energy I meet. And, you know, this moment turns into this and this.
Starting point is 00:32:52 And it's just, it's a spot. It's amazing. Yeah. No, I agree. That's, but what I'm,
Starting point is 00:32:57 what we're both saying is be in the moment. Yes, yes. And I'm so glad you guys are saying that because. Where are you going? You're going to India next? Nigeria and then South Africa is the first two stops. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:08 You got to just, bro. What I'm saying is what we're both kind of saying and what I really mean is like, you guys are right you guys are right back and there's no shade by the way yeah no you're a grinder no no i'm not taking it like that i know i know it's so good to have people to check you and say enjoy it because i feel like there has been times where like it has been hard to like enjoy because there's pressure and there's stress mexico was the best times of our life yeah and in the moment i was realizing like yo this is the best time i've ever had was nuts yeah i don't want to wake up one day
Starting point is 00:33:40 10 years from now and be like what the fuck happened making i was making like 80k weekend yeah you were making a lot of money that's insane but we were having hooker parties you were having hooker parties i never i never had a party by the i don't have hooker parties i never had hooker party i was never involved in that that was just you okay you were there yeah yeah you guys weren't there okay no i was there but i wasn't there johnny sins and two girls i was i was i i saw i wasn't a talent at that point i was a fucking editor i was grinding dude there was a lot to go around wasn't it funny how it was like there was that weird like the weird like you guys were working and we were like, go ahead,
Starting point is 00:34:14 fuck off and do that. And then it was like this weird. Bro. It was a weird dynamic sometimes. I don't think I had the same experience. You guys. I would literally, I feel like I, well, but you are now. Steve, Steve was very understanding of what I wanted to do. But when I was with now, dude, it was 24-7 grind.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah. And you know, that was rightfully so. Yeah, I guess. That's how it should be. But that's what I'm saying. Like, where you are now doing it, I'm just saying like, not stop everything you're doing, but like when you're in South Africa, You're in wherever you are next. Yes. Take like 30 minutes to just be like, look around and be like, holy shit. Not worry about content, not worry about what's what you're going to do next, what bitch you're going to film.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And just be like, damn, this is the life I always dreamed of. Because I swear to God, bro, like those moments, those tiny moments will make you love it so much more and put so much more into it. Bro, I'm telling you, I've recently, and I think I said on camera too, I think I said more about life is about moments. Because I've recently started everywhere we go. I try to just stop at some point and look around that million sub-party you were at and you were at too
Starting point is 00:35:17 thank you for coming so much for us I took one And I never go out by the way I can't just for you I know straight out I know I can't just for you You guys are me neither
Starting point is 00:35:24 Never go out No people always go out motherfucker No you guys are two people Who do keep up And like constantly are like Go good blah blah I see it
Starting point is 00:35:32 I see you guys whatever But I did take a moment I remember I really remember The exact spot I was It was like by the bar in the back And I looked at everything going on After we were done
Starting point is 00:35:40 like filming the main parts, and I was just like, dude. Because in a way, all those people were there for you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know. And it's very, it's hard to wrap my head around, I think, sometimes still. Like, that's what I mean by living in the moment because it's taking those moments to just go, damn, this is, this is, bro, you're like, it's a crazy life. It's a blessing.
Starting point is 00:36:02 It's a massive blessing. And people watching this, all your fans, probably they probably wish they could live the same life. And you know what? I hope that we can give them that experience and bring them in, show them. I don't know. Well, what I'm saying is you can't, you're doing that. That's what you're doing when you're making content.
Starting point is 00:36:18 What I'm saying for you is to continue to do it to that level that you want to get to. You have to appreciate it for yourself. Otherwise, you can't keep showing and giving that appreciation so people can see it and feel it. Like, if you don't take those moments to appreciate it, at some point it gets dull. That's what I was saying when I was talking about nine years. I'm doing it for so long that, like, there is a moment where there's tons of times. Of course, I meet people, I talk to people, and I'm grateful for all. of that. But I looked back
Starting point is 00:36:39 and I was like, damn, I could have appreciated this and loved this more instead of work, work, work, grind, grind, grind, next content. Because then it allows you to continue and keep giving that sort of love back out of what you're doing. You're 100% right. You get wrapped up in all of it because I've gone
Starting point is 00:36:55 through moments of that. Like, it's extreme on a stress. I literally went out last night with Nate Diaz. I love Nate. And then the moment I was like, yo, brought my bro with me. And he was like, dude, this is the coolest fucking night of my life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:11 And then it made me think like, yo, dude, this is, this is fucking sick. Like, one, no one's going to fuck with the, no one's going to fuck with me tonight. Nah. Like, hell not. Nah. See you the street fight champion. Yeah. So part of me was that, but also I was just like, yo, this is so sick.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Like, I used to fucking watch this guy fight, fight McGregor. And then all of a sudden you're with him hanging out and it's just like, you forget, three or four years ago when you're like, you know, I used to watch this guy. I used to look up to him. And then you're just. hanging out with him. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:37:39 And Nate's a real dude. Bro. Yeah. Bro. Is there anyone that you've come across now making content that you feel the same way about? You're like, damn, this is kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And I think Logan. Logan Paul. Like that was like, when I was in Grey's Lake, shout out of Grey's Lake, home town. I used to bring all, like, all my friends out who were trying to make videos, we would go to like the nearby Starbucks. And I would tell him, my guys, we got to watch Logan. He's doing this and this. And even though he handled himself through some difficult times in his career.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I'm like so impressive and an impulsive was so impressive during all that. But... I think of Zinni? Yeah, yeah, I got you. But he was someone I always looked up to of how he carried himself and how he did his videos and his career and how he leveled up to be this entertainer. When I did that, when I got put in a group message and he hits me up, he's like, Nick, I really wanted the frat party thing.
Starting point is 00:38:40 He wanted to do the frat party video and he wanted to sign to prime and make that the thing to sign to prime. Dude, it was just the craziest. I don't think, Jason said it. He's right here. He told me after we shot the video and still now, he's like,
Starting point is 00:38:55 I don't think you've even processed it yet. Did Logan hit you up directly? So I actually just asked Mike, like, what actually happened? I was with him at the Super Bowl. And he's like, Logan hit me up and he asked to be connected with you. he wanted to sign you to prime and he wanted to do a YouTube video with you and it was the craziest
Starting point is 00:39:14 moment following my dapp up I like that go ahead no we support I'm just gonna say hey or low key dude it was a it was I was beautiful bro up when I saw that yeah I remember telling everyone everyone who I haven't heard from a lot of people I used to work with there was people who hit me up and be like bro I remember you talking about how much you love him and there's so many people from my hometown i remember you talking about i love logan i got to fight him yeah you felt amazing yeah someone literally told me i think maybe it was alex the other night he was like yeah dude i remember when we used to be watching tv and nick would be like dude we got to watch the new impulsive this is like three years i loved impulsive bro i always yes we lived in steves place i would
Starting point is 00:39:54 ask him but and here's the thing bro i remember sitting in impulsive and this is bro i don't even give a fuck man this is a fan moment for me like i'm just like sitting i'm like dude don't think about that this is what you've always dreamed of of, and this is a crazy moment for me. And I'm so honored and thankful. Dude, I can't even, like, for him to ask me to be a part of prime, I literally asked him, I'm like, bro, what the, like, dude, I, why aren't you part of prime? Me?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah. I don't know. Where's my prime deal? I feel like I should be. Okay. Okay, I'm not. No, but go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Don't fuck his moment up. No, it's fine. It's fine. And they're like, all right, whatever. I think Kevin Durant's probably a better pick. No, I think you guys would be great, too. You guys, that's not my company. We were battling.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Obviously, there's a lot of money in there. Yeah, I think they, back and forth. I don't even know it was about money. We're going to go with Kevin. Yeah, I think Kevin was a better choice. Whatever, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Okay, go ahead. Yeah, you'd be great too. No, I don't know, nothing. It was just amazing and I'm so, I'm honored to be. What does a prime deal look like? Because it's not, excuse me, it's not Mike's deal. Like Mike's, because Mike doesn't have anything still, right? That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:41:00 That's shade. That's shade. I love Mike. I just troll Mike for that. I troll Mike for that. I think he's getting something at the end of the day, I think. I hope so. Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I hope Mike gets a little five-am. Mike should get a few mil for sure at the end of the day. Yeah, I don't know. They just, you know. I love Mike. Mike is amazing, dude. Yeah. Mike is.
Starting point is 00:41:18 But what does that deal look like? How does that even work? Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the fuck. I'm not going to, it's sure, you get a, there's a deal. What are he saying is, is it like an equity deal or payment? I can't, I can't even, I don't even know what the fuck to say here. But yeah, sure, it's payment. Yeah, it's payment.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Monthly. Uh, yeah. And, uh, there's certain deliverables and, and then... Can I borrow 50 bucks? You can borrow 50 bucks. Okay. Borrow, you're ever going to get that back. Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to pay that.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I'll pay you back in other ways. But, you know, I think the conversation is like, they believe in me. And that was the coolest thing to me. And, and they, they see where we're going. And I'm excited to see what's in the future with Prime. And there's a lot to come. Are you going to go a whole other year without, or with uploading every week?
Starting point is 00:42:08 Here's the thing that's changed now as of three weeks ago. What are you slowing down? That's a real question. Or are you? Not slowing down. We'll film every week. It's the dad.
Starting point is 00:42:18 We're going to keep filming. But I won't put up a video anymore that's not done. That's not a 10 out of 10 video that I want it. Sure, we've said high production, but I don't think that's the right way to say it. I think if it's a good full video and if it's not there yet at the end of the week,
Starting point is 00:42:36 then we have to wait. Yeah. But now that we're doing the world tour and the world tour starts February 24th, officially, we've shot one video in Australia that we haven't released yet, but... You got to let me come on one of those videos. Should come.

Starting point is 00:47:55 Because you did Kai, you got Logan, both at a frat. Like, who else is there? I feel like Mr. Beast, dude. Oh, yeah, he said he wouldn't go, right? Um, you got Mr. Biss at a frat. It's, it's in the works.
Starting point is 00:48:08 That would be fucking. There was a clip, I thought. Yeah, the clip? It's in the works. Do you think you get them to a frat? Yeah. I want to go to a frat party. Me and Brad want to go.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Why are we not fucking... Actually, I want to go, Brad. Do you want to go? I'll show up. I really... Here's the thing. Like, the frat party videos is like... I don't want to like...
Starting point is 00:48:29 I don't want to ask anymore. I want people to want to do it. Yeah. If they don't want to do it, I don't want to force them to do it. How long you can do the frat party videos for? Yeah. It's a good question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:40 I mean, here's the funny thing. You don't want to be fucking 40. Jesus Christ. You don't want to be a baby boomer in shopping. going up to a frat one thinks like oh that's that's the video those videos go the biggest yeah and everyone thinks oh it's the frat guy blah blah blah blah we've done like seven frat videos out of a hundred some videos um they just go the most viral yeah and i think it's it's it's a collab you know you do a collab with someone who's very popular and taking them into a
Starting point is 00:49:09 different culture and i think that's the beauty in it the beauty and the frat videos why why i love them is you're taking someone who hasn't experienced that culture. Sexy Red was the first one. It was so amazing because you see a culture clash and everyone have a great time. It's a bunch of different people having a great time that maybe wouldn't be in that culture. Do you think Mr. Beas would do a video like that?
Starting point is 00:49:30 The reason why I think that'd be so amazing is that's just not him and that's why it's so amazing. Yeah, it will go nuts. The biggest thing is putting someone in a situation they'd never be in. But that's why it was so respected. Pure entertainment. And that's why we get hit up. You're good, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Thank you. Thank you, man. Good to see. Love you're going to be great, man. Yeah. But that's why it was so loved and respected and why NLE did it and Kai did it. And, you know, we had a whole bunch of people that we started taking girl influencers. We had sex to read it, but other girl influencers, I think it was because of the culture
Starting point is 00:50:02 clashing. You know what? Do I think there's a timeline on it? Sure, but it's not like I'm going there to turn up and party and talk to. I don't talk to girls. Yeah, I mean, like, it's almost like. You know how frats pay for a rapper to come and perform. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Or like a DJ to come. We go there for 30 minutes. We bring someone and, you know, I think this YouTube energy, it's something that these kids and these guys and whoever's ever at the frat are going to remember for a very long time. Yeah. I mean, there's also... Dude, Logan Paul pulling up to Purdue, from what I hear, Purdue, that they don't have that ever. And there's not a lot of big things that happen.
Starting point is 00:50:43 they're not a huge party school. They went fucking insane because it's something they're going to remember for a very long time and it was fun and it brought a whole bunch of people together
Starting point is 00:50:52 and it was positive and you know, having Kai, having Kai's to not go to a frat party and do a keg stand and completely buy into this culture that he's not usually accustomed to
Starting point is 00:51:04 I think that's amazing. Yeah. And like for him just to let go and do that and bro, those kids are going to remember that forever he's going to remember that forever like that's it's not you can't always do that and that I'm the median and the person who can kind of help bring some people into this I've never
Starting point is 00:51:24 experienced it I think it's awesome no it's dope I mean and and a lot of those those people those those guys whatever they're like largely a part of the audience that watches all these people so it's like it's a cool like a super surreal moment yeah and I would never want anyone to do it who doesn't want to do it yeah like I didn't ask how to do it he he saw the sexy red video and he wanted to do it and I was like dude that's fucking Logan want to do it yeah so with Mr. Beast if you were able to do a video if it wasn't uh if I did ask Mr. Beast because that would be that would be that'd be nuts dude but if it's not a frat video what sort of video could you think you would do with him it's got to be something
Starting point is 00:52:01 with girls I know he just recently got married which is dope I know I don't you know yeah I don't think it'd be something with girls because yeah he's married yeah he's proposed um to be honest I don't know and I'm not like I'm not like seeking asking him to do a video if if it happens and you know we were told you know maybe something with lunchly will happen or something yeah with Mr. Beast or whatever I'm down I'm down whatever they think is the right fit for them but uh I'm kind of just taking it week by week and I'm excited for what comes with prime and everything. But right now, dude, I want to go to Puerto Rico and fucking train with Logan. Like, I want to, I want to train. Like, I feel like I want to get back into this, like,
Starting point is 00:52:48 I used to be super into it. Yeah. And now it's slowly coming back, but I think I got to go with, you know, what opportunities are presented to me through them. And then what I'm passionate about. How do you, yeah, how do you navigate what you really want to do? Like, I think this world tour. That's what you really want to do. I really, I studied abroad when I was 20 years old, in Budapest, Hungary. And I traveled every weekend. I hitched all through Israel. I love just being free and experiencing these other cultures.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And I think this world tour is exactly that. And our audience loves to, you know, see the girls, other people love when we're meeting girls in other cultures. So like, okay, we can, we're going to do that. And hopefully that, you know, the goal of the end of the world tour is to sign a new girl that makes it happen to our squad. Yeah. So that's exciting.
Starting point is 00:53:39 And I'm just so excited to visit all these other cultures. And there's a lot of people in other countries that are supporting us. I'm excited to do that. I'm really excited. What makes you happy that's not content? Well, I mean, I was traveling before the content. Yeah. When I was studying abroad and I think, you know, it's funny because I, I, I saw a therapist for like two months.
Starting point is 00:54:08 It's good. is good um and through this it's so crazy she wanted to figure out where i was most content and happy she was said where is you're happy you know we did this crazy this crazy exercise it's too it's so hard to explain but at the end of it dude it was so weird like i had to close my eyes and imagine all this stuff i bawled my eyes out on controlably for 15 minutes she like really want she pushed me through the whole 15 for for 10 minutes you have your eyes shut and she's guiding you through to find where you're happy place is and then when i came out of it i left the session with a therapist in my car.
Starting point is 00:54:41 I cried for 15 minutes uncontrollably. And through that, she told me that she's like, I truly believe you're happy and content when you're traveling and moving and going. And it's the weirdest, craziest thing. And she's like, what you're doing in your life is you're trying to see, you're here, you're happy when you're traveling,
Starting point is 00:55:02 you're figuring out who can live in this happy bubble while you're in this chaotic life to, most people, but for you, it's where you're most calm and where you live comfortably. It's so crazy. And where am I most happy? I'm happy what I'm doing. I really love what I'm doing. And I get it.
Starting point is 00:55:24 You have to take it in and enjoy it. I'm working so hard. As I've said that a million times. Like, I think that was like a big huge reason of going to therapy was like life moves so fast and the phases of life kind of fuck with me of like, dude, I can't believe. this is over and this is happening. I think about my family 24-7. I want to be with them and I'm doing this.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And I think what makes me truly emotional is not like being with my family. It makes me sad. But I'm happy traveling and being on the go and just I'm so thankful of where I am. Outside of no content being filmed, I love soccer. I play soccer every day.
Starting point is 00:56:05 After this, I have two games back-to-back. I hope eventually that we can incorporate soccer in the future of what we're doing with make shit happen. Sounds like a speed play. Not that you don't love soccer. Is speed good at soccer? I don't know if he's good at soccer, but I know he's like a massive fan.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know he is. He's crushing in soccer. I think for me to be truly happy, I have to do, I have to put content around like what I really love. Yeah. And I love soccer. Who are the people in the,
Starting point is 00:56:39 that you, besides like Logan Paul's, the people that you watched me were younger that inspired you just sort of get into it and like want to do it. Who are the people that you look at now who are currently in the industry that you go, damn, I like what they're doing. I want to kind of do more things in this regard. That's a really good question. Like who are you seeing on your timeline? Like what is the content that you're sort of consuming that you're like, that's dope? Not that you're copying it, but like that you're like, oh, this is cool. I could take some inspiration from that and this is going to sound
Starting point is 00:57:12 insane I think Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn Holy shit I think they're a huge inspiration to me I find a lot of inspiration in rom-coms
Starting point is 00:57:29 I watch a lot of romantic comedies I hate romantic comedies I think they're they're exactly what I create in my mind So in my mind, I watched those movies and I like to recreate those storylines and vibes and energy
Starting point is 00:57:44 into my vlogs. And I hope to eventually figure out some way to feature them in some kind of rom-com one day. That'd be crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:59 In our videos, but Wedding Crashers. Oh, my God. Classic. Zach Efron and oh my God, I'm blanking on his name right now who Mike and Dave who plays in Mike and Dave it's it's Zach Efron and it's Andy ah no um God I'm gonna tell you something crazy right now I'm gonna tell you something crazy right now um he's yeah yeah the guy on the right he's so popular oh that's the that's the guy who was in
Starting point is 00:58:29 Adam Devine is that the guy who was in righteous gemstones I don't know what that is he plays in a lot of movies but quick Adam Devine you know Adam Devine kind of tell you guys something crazy. Can I tell you something crazy? I've never told anyone this. Yeah, this is the guy who's a righteous gemstone. I've never told anyone this. I had Facebook before I ever moved to L.A. before I ever came to L.A. I think I was in high school. I used to blow him up on Facebook. I'm not even kidding. I'm messenger. And tell him, bro, like, like, bro, like, bro, like, bro. I'm going to, I'm going to do what I'm going to do. I'm going to to meet you one day. And he would respond to me. He responded me every fucking time.
Starting point is 00:58:59 What the fuck? And he'd be like, I believe you, bro. He's like, yes. And I would ask him, yo, can I interview? Can I have like five minutes of your time? Just talk to you and pick your brains. I'm busy, blah, about doing this. Yeah. And I was, all right, man, like, whenever we were, and I would go back and forth him for a long time. And so, I don't know, just faded out. I'm not going to keep pulling this guy up. Yeah. But that's just a crazy thing. But I just, he's so funny. But this like duo friend group, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Zach Efron, Adam Devine, like, there's other characters, other rom-coms. Like, those are like, would inspire me to make the
Starting point is 00:59:37 YouTube videos I do that are like these travel, adventure, mission videos. And I feel like that's what I've based a lot of my creative around. I see. And I don't, I really don't think anyone else is doing that, to be honest. Definitely not in the vlog space. Yeah. And I think that's kind of like, I don't know, like, my team's like, yo, you got to start doing trends on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:59:58 And or you got to get, you got to, you should do some things that are like with current events and your YouTube video. And I try sometimes. But I really only know what I know. and I have a vision. I just have my vision, and that's it. And that's how I think. It was like, have you ever seen the internship?
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah. We were in a blender. Now we're saving lives. What? And it's like, we take these little, even those little comments, we throw them in the YouTube video, but that's where my vision, like,
Starting point is 01:00:25 I've watched a million romantic comments. I was obsessed with them growing up. I've watched every rom-com you can think of probably. So funny. Like, I don't know if we can look this up. This is the best rom-com you can ever watch. it's Zach Efron and I swear to God
Starting point is 01:00:40 I swear to God how he speaks in certain deep moments is how I know how to capitalize and deep moments happening between like the wingman and look up Zach Efron romcom I'm going to see if it comes up
Starting point is 01:00:52 so sorry the awkward moment the first thing that came up this is the best romcom it's underrated the best romcom of all time is the awkward moment Zach Efron is so incredible
Starting point is 01:01:03 he's an amazing actor and I'm not just trying to glaze him but how he how and miles teller he's incredible um how they go about i didn't even realize it's michael b jordan in this movie yo what the fuck holy fucking shit is this um 14 this is such so i really brought this producer his name's jack on because i'm like i want to perfect the storylining of having people feel what we're feeling in these moments but there's so many emotions on these trips that we go on that I can't even explain. And sometimes I've watched back and I'm like, are they feeling what we're feeling? Like there's these connections we make
Starting point is 01:01:43 with people, girls, home, like these these crazy moments in life that we talk about. Yeah. And I want our audience to feel that the way you would feel this. And these kind of movies inspire me. Let's talk about this for a little bit. The romantic comedy, you know, they call you the lover boy. Okay. in regards to that for what you've experienced as far as like talking to so many different girls and you know feeling like what those moments could be like what do you think are some of the uh sort of most important moments or most important things for guys to think about or to to go towards when they're trying to like approach a girl like what are they what are the keys to that because that's kind of the that's kind of your thing right and you've done it so many times and i know a lot of guys watching they probably like a lot of the inspiration obviously they're stoked on what you're doing with your life, they're stoked that you're like, you're succeeding at the level that you are.
Starting point is 01:02:37 But I feel like a lot, like the original audience is like, you know, this guy makes me feel inspired enough that I'm going to go talk to that girl. Yes. I think there's two ideas in guys' head when they're talking to a girl.
Starting point is 01:02:52 See, oh, I really like this girl. I want to be my girlfriend. I love her. I'm, whatever, infatuated by her. And there's, I want to hook up with this girl.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Right. I was single for seven years in a row, like from, college into years living in L.A. and working with everyone I worked with. There were years I went without talking to girls because I didn't care about that or I didn't, there wasn't a girl that I was interested. I think in the regards of when you should go talk to a girl or like. Yeah. Like what are the, you know, when is it the right time? What are the cues? Like, how do you know you're sort of like going in the right direction? You know, this might have been said as a
Starting point is 01:03:33 joke on our last podcast we did with Stiney but he said how he met that girl was he saw her pass him by and he had to go talk to her I think a lot of the times that I've approached girls or when I've talked to girls is in my mind I couldn't let that girl go
Starting point is 01:03:52 like I couldn't live with you know if this girl's who the fuck is this I can't let her just walk out of here without saying something I think if you get that feeling yeah you should go do something about it. And okay, and let's just say it's not random. Let's say, oh, you're in a friend group with her and you don't want to ruin the friend vibe, blah, this, that. I get it. But in my head, I'm like, if this is someone I'm interested in special, like, I can think
Starting point is 01:04:21 about this for five more years if I wanted to. And what if that, what if that, what if this? But if you're interested, you should go say something and you should be honest about it. That's how, And I didn't learn this until, like, three years ago. Yeah. So I'm not saying, oh, my God, I know, I don't, I don't know shit. But what I do, what I've done is if there's a girl in front of me that I'm like, whoa, you're really impressing me. I like this. Like, I'm going to say it.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And I'm just going to enjoy the moment. I think that's, that, that's it right there. You get so in your head of like, I got to pull her. I got to, I got to have her. me, I got to talk to her. Like, how do you go and just enjoy that moment with a girl? And it's hard, bro. I get so fucking nervous if I, like, I'm interested in you.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Yeah. And I, my heart races and I'm in my head. I'm sweating. And, but it's to find out how to really just, like, connect. And when you, when you connect with a chick, you're interested in? It's an amazing thing. But how are you able to overcome the sort of insecurity or like the fears of it? Do you have to, do you have to overcome that right away?
Starting point is 01:05:31 you overcome it by facing it. Of course. Yeah. Well, that's the answer. Yeah. That is the answer. I mean, you saw, you've seen me fail. You've seen me fail.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Of course. You've seen me like tweak out. But isn't it interesting how like the whole, even the stuff we were talking about earlier about like living in the moment and us talking from like a business sense, you get that really clearly in a girl sense, you know? But it's the same, obviously in the business sense. But it really is, I mean, how to make anything how you want it to be, whether it's like you have this goal or this dream.
Starting point is 01:06:01 in the future. It is by being right here right now. And people are so afraid to like take the first step. The number one thing that I've realized as I've gotten older, I'm either like, okay, I'm my own worst enemy in every situation, whether it's business, growth, uh, relationships, everything. I think everyone is at some point. 100%. But it's, it's recognizing that and then going like, all right, but what do I really want? How do I really want my life to be? And do you, are you going to succeed or have that life if you don't go right now where I'm at. This is how I feel and just fucking and just go with it. I want to comment on this. I think I've overthought every relationship girl-wise in my life. Yeah. I think so have I man and I've lost a lot of good
Starting point is 01:06:54 relationships because of that. I'm going to I already have a thought in my head out. I'm going to circle this back and I'm going to talk to you about this. I'm going to talk to you about this. I have listened to podcast, I've listened to motivation. I've tried to find every answer of answering. You know, if I'm with a girl, do I prioritize her? Do I bring her into this world? If I love her, do I just focus on me? Do I just go on the grind?
Starting point is 01:07:13 And I've listened to things like sometimes you've got to sacrifice the most crazy things to get what you want. Sometimes you have to make a decision that you won't know is the right decision for years. I've listened to all these podcasts, this motivation, whatever. And like what you just said, I've always come back to if you love being around someone you should just go with it
Starting point is 01:07:35 but it gets mentally hard and I really you know I'm not criticizing anything I don't fucking know anything I go crazy about this stuff all the time like obviously like people who watch my content
Starting point is 01:07:48 and our content like know that like I love Skyler and and you know they see me like I'm you know talking to her I'm doing my YouTube like oh my god
Starting point is 01:07:58 like this girl whatever like all these different crazy factors um but i think when there's someone amazing in your life in my head i'm like well you just got you got to stick with that and see what happens like yeah the right it's if it goes right it goes right if it goes wrong goes wrong it's going to play out but it's so hard to find amazing people sometimes when you're just going why would you take that out but brad you are such a deep person and you have such an understanding for for people in life and I know dude I do it's so crazy I think about you sometimes like it's so crazy you know because you're someone who's played a big part of my life I really
Starting point is 01:08:42 appreciate you and love you and I think about you know you have a lot of love and you have a deep heart and and I really like I think about like man your love life and I know you can you connect well with people, but what do you think it, like, it takes for you to find the one? This is a question that I think every guy asked himself. Yeah. What is it that, like, that person needs to be the one for me and I'm okay
Starting point is 01:09:11 with being with them for the rest of my life. I struggle with this too. Everyone struggles with this. Yeah. Everyone, like, you know, especially when we're career-oriented, we're competitive, you know, we're on the move. What is it going to take for you to be content with being like, this is the one for me forever? That's a great question. So,
Starting point is 01:09:29 the reason why this is so complicated for myself and for so many individuals is because we as humans right um have had things in our past whether it's in our childhood or in our you know recent past where we've had sort of situations that have taught us or shown us like either you're not good enough to have it that's what I struggle with a lot like if I'm just saying just straight up directly i struggled with for a very long time in my life um fuck i'm not trying to get emotional no it's okay it's it's a tough thing to talk about yeah but it's important i uh damn i struggle with for a long time obviously in relationship starting on starting out in relationship to my father with feeling like i was good enough to have the things that were good for me because i had a lot of
Starting point is 01:10:26 I had that situation in my life and I would, growing up, I would go, damn, this person has this, you know, why can't I have that? Am I not good enough to have that? Like, and that stuck with me for a very long time, I think, in a subconscious way where whether or not I was like consciously doing things to make the situations that I had not work, I was subconsciously doing things that would then obviously consciously and then it would all happen to not work, right? Because I was afraid to actually have the good things in my life. Like I felt like I was trying to like feel sort of sort of voids in my life with people or with things or with success that ultimately I needed to forgive myself in relationship
Starting point is 01:11:08 to those thoughts that I had as a child that I wasn't good enough to have, that I wasn't good enough to have a good relationship, that I wasn't good enough to have the sort of life that I, that I always wanted or that I looked at when I was a child from a child's perspective, a six year old saying, you know, why? Why is my life this way? And I look outward and I say, why does that kid, why are that guy or that, you know, why does he have his dad?
Starting point is 01:11:30 And why is he, I can, you know, certain events I'd go to, graduation really stuck out in my mind, like graduating high school and being like seeing fathers talk to their kids. I'm so proud of you and being like, damn, I don't have that. I'm not good enough for that. Um, fuck. No, man. So.
Starting point is 01:11:50 So. share that that obviously happened in my early childhood and then friendships business relationships would constantly sort of reinforce like and I was doing it to myself it wasn't like they were just doing it to me but like how things weren't happening the way that I was like they could happen and it could be good like a lot of great things happen to me don't get me wrong but a lot of also terrible things happen to me that I look at I was like damn I was just not good enough to have that and it would it would reinforce that I wasn't good enough to have it so that I would then create sort of self-sabotaging moments for myself to not have it even though that's what
Starting point is 01:12:29 I wanted the most because for me that's what felt normal so oh no it's okay you think that translates no it when in it unequivocally translated to my ability to hold relationships and to allow the good to be good without being like wait something else is going to happen here like this shouldn't be as good as it is because that's not my norm that's not what i'm used to that's not what i was learned that's not what i was trained that's not what i was taught because i was taught at a very young age that the things that you want you could have but you can't have them like they're not they're not supposed to be there for you because they weren't there for me and my perspective outward looking at everyone else having things it's like kind of like
Starting point is 01:13:10 talking about social media today where everyone looks at everyone else's life what you have what i have what people have and they don't have them so they have this scarcity mindset of like well I'm not supposed to have them because I don't have them. And then they continue to not have them because they're just adopting that mindset. And that is sort of whether you're aware of this or not, that intention of what your, like your thoughts every single day are adding to that that are going to continue to add to your life in that negative way, whether you're aware of it or not. And so I was doing that for so many years.
Starting point is 01:13:35 And then I got so much success in business, so much success in social media. And I'd have other relationships, friendships or business sort of relationships that then would fall out. And then I go, well, damn, I'm just not supposed to have these good things. It's not supposed to be good. And I was constantly reminded of that with people that came in and out of my life, took advantage of me, used me like the fucking, you know, the girl that used me for X amount of years became a millionaire and said I'd do enough for like certain the business relationships that I had where people leverage me and use me for their own benefit and then do me to the wayside and treat me like I didn't do shit for them. Like all those moments kept happening. And it's not to say that they just happened to me because they were bad people. It's also happened to me because that's the sort of. energy I was bringing into my life because that's how I felt about myself.
Starting point is 01:14:20 So when it comes to relationships, I recognize and now I figured it out, which I'm very grateful for. It just took the sort of biggest heartbreaks I could ever have in life with friends, with business, with relationships to really get to the moment of like that sobering idea like damn. Like when you're, you know, you're not drunk anymore. You see it exactly for what it is and you go, this is me. I'm doing this to myself. Because what happened to me doesn't mean that because it happened to me, that has to continue to be my reality. I was allowing it to be that way because even though it was extremely uncomfortable, it was what was regular for me. And I allowed it to keep being my regular because that's what I knew.
Starting point is 01:15:05 So a lot of people, they don't recognize that they're doing that to themselves every single day and every little moment and they're just allowing whatever it is to continue to be their norm because it's weird even though it's painful and it hurts it's regular for you it's normal so then you just keep bringing it into your life and i did that for a very long time and the reason why i brought up earlier about the whole like looking back or like sitting in the moment going oh my life's fucking amazing i didn't do a lot of that and that goes back to the thing we're talking about right now we're like i wasn't going man this is really beautiful this is everything i've i've sort of like thought would be great in life and i didn't do that because i was like go go go go got to go forward got to get more because what I was really doing
Starting point is 01:15:47 was like, oh, something else is going to get fucked up and I know it, so let me go, go, go, because I don't have another choice. But I, looking back now, I always had the choice to go, wait, my life's amazing, my relationship's amazing. I can make this work. I can make this better than I've ever thought it could be. But it's all in hindsight for me now.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Now I know. It just took me so many years to get to this point. So with relationships, you know, I lost two seven-year relationships. Because I was just going through that motion of like, I don't deserve this. This is too good for me. I'm not good enough to have this. Even though on the front side, with the internet and like social media,
Starting point is 01:16:27 what you would have seen for all those years would have been like, man, this guy's, he's cool and he's strong and he's big and he's crushing. He's the man or whatever the fuck it was, whatever the love I was receiving. But on the inside, I didn't feel good about myself. That's okay. I think it's real man And I think you did it Like you
Starting point is 01:16:49 It's not like oh my God You crashed and burned And never figured it out You figured it out And I just wish I figured it out sooner You know I think everyone does
Starting point is 01:16:58 I'm going through I'm a little bit younger You're not that Like you know We're close But I feel like I'm going through A time that you're talking about Of like
Starting point is 01:17:06 I don't know what the right answer is Sure we went through Different things as kids But I hope I don't I'm trying not to make the wrong decision with a lot of different relationships in my life of people that I love that I'm in business with you know dated who love me and I get very very very very very emotional about it sometimes I have to take a step out of the shoot sometimes I got to say guys I need a minute you know because I love certain people in my life I'm going
Starting point is 01:17:36 through certain things in my life where I'm like what's the right decision you know there's so many people who will weigh in their opinion yeah that think this but when you have someone who loves you in your life who really truly loves you and cares about you that's the rarest shit i'm telling you bro i'm so glad you shared that because everything you just shared i think so many people are constantly going through i think there's so many people just like you and me i don't know if this happened i don't know if this would happen to you but 24 hours of the day it's kind of goes through your head of certain relationships, whether it's business, whether it's love, whether it's a girl, because it matters to you. And I understand completely what
Starting point is 01:18:21 you're saying about it's comfortable to almost self-sabotage and be on your own and not have someone there for you who loves you. Like I completely, it's it, it, because you've learned to rely on yourself. You've learned that my whole life, bro. You'll be okay if you keep pushing forward because that's what you do. And the fuck the thing is it came, the fuck the thing about this whole conversation is there was another whole aspect of it that was about control.
Starting point is 01:18:50 In needing to feel like I wanted, I needed to be able to not control another person, but I knew that I could control myself. And it, because I was so focused on being able to like, okay, if I can, I can, I know that I can control myself and I know that I control where I want to go. The interesting thing was, and all these sort of relationships and things.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Where's this going to go? Yeah, you can't control it. And I also, the thing that I had to recognize was that you can't and you have to be okay with that. And I had such a hard time like releasing that because part of me and looking at my whole like life, childhood,
Starting point is 01:19:27 everything that's things that happened to me were out of my control. So then I got to a point where I was old and I was like, oh, I can't control it. And so then I focused so much on that and I developed that so good that I got good at business. or making content or moving myself in some direction that then I just put this whole other
Starting point is 01:19:45 side of my life to the wayside. And the thing you said earlier to, I don't know if you said it specifically, but it made me think of this. The number one thing that I've learned in order to like make these right decisions, which sometimes can be the hardest thing in the world to do is listen to yourself. And what I mean by that is like there's a voice inside of you. and I don't know where it is exactly I don't know what it is exactly I may recall your soul it speaks to you
Starting point is 01:20:15 and it tells you exactly what's really happening how do you really feel like no this is something that is this is like it'll say things like this no I should do this or she's the wrong one or she's the right one
Starting point is 01:20:28 trust it and I didn't listen to that I think it's hard to listen to that whether it's your family members or an audience or coworkers telling you what you should do and shouldn't do. There's so much outside input. There's so much noise that that voice inside your your heart, your head, your gut gets confusing. And it turns into
Starting point is 01:20:51 this spiral of what's right, what's not, should I be focused on this? Am I really, do I even deserve this? I think that's like a constant question that I've even asked myself. Like, do I deserve real love? Should I have real love like it's it's confusing and it's and and and you're a lot like me in the sense that i feel like you truly do care about people who mean a lot to in your life and you don't want to hurt anyone but at the same time like you don't want to hurt yourself yeah i did a lot of that man and i'm sorry that happens not your fault i learned though man again i guess i just i wish i learned sooner you know but then then then again like that's that's sort of like trusting in life itself
Starting point is 01:21:36 and knowing that like, okay, what is is supposed to be. Not that that means you just go, oh, I'm not going to make decisions or I'm not going to make moves, but dude, how it's supposed to be is how it's supposed to be. Whether or not you want to accept it or not, like that is also the ultimate truth.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Yeah, and it can happen in four years or it's going to happen right now, whatever. But like, I, dude, I'm, where I'm going to be honest with you, man, like I'm constantly in my, those are things I'm in my head about of like some of the relationships in my life. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:22:03 like work, work related, personally related, family. It's like, am I doing the right thing? Yeah. Am I making the right choice? Am I making the right choice? Yeah. And I really believe it is that voice. It's just hard because it gets convoluted with everyone else, everyone else's opinion,
Starting point is 01:22:21 people on your team, friends, family members, whatever it is. It is, that's why I say taking those moments to go, okay, like away from everything, away from the content, away from the work, whatever it is you're doing your life and go, okay, wait. Am, is this really of me? Is this really deep in my heart, deep in my soul? Is this really what I want? Is this really what's going to make me happy?
Starting point is 01:22:41 And being fucking brutally honest with yourself, whether or not you feel like it's going to end up hurting someone else or it's going to hurt for you, you have to listen to that voice, man. Because I can look back on my life also on the business side of things, on the content side of things and go, I was good at listening to that voice. I was good at listening to like, this is the right move. or this I shouldn't do this or I should make this content or I shouldn't make that or I should make I was good at doing that
Starting point is 01:23:08 in a lot of ways now it wasn't all bad and I found I was the most happy and I had the most success when I just listened to that can I comment on that? Yeah
Starting point is 01:23:16 I am live, breathe, die my number one priority is my career and these videos I love them so much like this is what excites me
Starting point is 01:23:29 motivates me inspires me what I think about in the fucking shower And I also can take a step back and say other things matter to. Other people matter. Their happiness matters. There's people in my life that I truly want to be happy and bring happy.
Starting point is 01:23:49 And it's this battle 24-7 in my head of, okay, I got to do this 24-7. I got to grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. but I got to make time for my family or my girl or this and it's like I didn't do enough of that that was my problem that's my battle I promise you right now that's my battle 24-7 is because I remember what it was when I moved to LA and didn't go home for three years really maybe once or twice a year and watch my brother and sister look way different than when I left they just grew up and my brother has a deep voice and he's taller and he's muscular and I'm like what happened, a skinny little dude.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Bro. It's like, I'll blow your mind, man. I, uh, I hadn't, I've seen my mom and I've seen my brother and I've seen my stepdad rarely, um, over the last 15 years, right? I've seen him, I've seen him a good amount, not none at all. I hadn't been home to see the rest of my family for 15 years. That scared the shit out of you? Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's like the biggest. got there and they were like what the fuck and everyone wants to tell me about oh we saw that we saw the things we saw the interviews we saw this and i'm like damn like what the fuck was i doing i was so
Starting point is 01:25:09 caught up for so many years i'm and it's almost like maybe i like isolated myself on purpose because i was like okay i have to do this i have to i have to figure it out i have to figure out my life because maybe the way i looked at like my circumstances or the circumstances that i saw were normal back then that i was like okay i don't want to live this life but it was a weird sobering moment when I went back literally this past Christmas. I hadn't been back. I've been home, but I was never back on like those moments
Starting point is 01:25:34 that were like, all the families here. Yeah. 15 years. Like they looked at me like I was like, whoa, you're like a fucking ghost. And it really made me go like,
Starting point is 01:25:43 man, what the fuck was I doing? That is, and I'm trying to realize that right now because that might haunt me forever. Because I will. I'm telling you it, I'm me.
Starting point is 01:25:56 I did it. I did it. you can't you can't take that time back and i think it's beautiful now like you're with your sometimes i'll come over here and you're with your mom yeah no she's here and it's amazing and um but yeah like i cherish those moments when i go home and i and i walk to the coffee shop from my house with my mom or i play video games and my brother or i get to work out and even on the drive to the gym talk to my sister and see my stepdad and enjoy a movie with him go home and see my dad for you know we cook together whatever it's like i don't want to
Starting point is 01:26:27 that to end i don't want to miss that and that that that scares me a little bro i went home on this this last christmas and i went to all the places that like as a child i would go to and i had the craziest perspective shift like walked all the same places that i would walk i walked like the little line that i would walk to school when i would like walk down the street and walk over to the school moments i would like there was an area where i would like go and like cry about my life and like where why is my life this way every morning after buying like a bagel with like bacon and cream juice because I was like my favorite thing to eat I went to the same bagel shop I walked the same line and I looked at and I was like what the fuck it gave me crazy perspective on my life
Starting point is 01:27:08 but it further reinforced the idea that like man I to anyone listening I just wish that I took more time and you know I'm not fucking dead right obviously but I wish I took more time to go and like just stop and go man my life's fucking amazing i am so fucking grateful for what i have i've only started doing that the last like five years of my life man and i dude i i think the whole first year and a half of i'm and it'd probably done it for two years the year and a half of youtube it's like you're lost and i that's why i was like okay you guys are right you and steady saying yo enjoy it this this is the last six months i'm like i want to step back and enjoy it i don't i don't out all the time. I don't want to worry about a million. I don't want to take on life with
Starting point is 01:27:57 people I don't love and trust. Yeah. And I've kind of just made that decision the last six months. It's hard. It's very hard still because there's a million things that have to be done all a time. And the money, the team, you know, the pressure, whatever we all just fucking talked about. It's like that takes away from enjoying some of the moments, but I really want to enjoy this life. Yeah. Yeah. I'm proud of you, man. man. For real. I love to see the success. Congrats on the fucking prime shit. Like, congrats on everything you're doing. Thank you. Because it's just like I've straight up saw you in the fucking trenches, filming content, behind the scenes. No one, no one knew your name except for the people who
Starting point is 01:28:37 were there. And like to see where you're at now and what you're building is like, it's fucking surreal to see. Because like, because I've done it in my own way over so many years to then to see you go from like there to here is just like the coolest thing ever for me, man. Because I I remember we did that first pod. We must have been super fucking drunk. Bro, I didn't know. No, we weren't drunk. We were sober.
Starting point is 01:28:59 No, no, no, no, no. The very first time we did a pod. Oh my God. The Steve Judd, you, me, pod. Bro, you had me black. You took me to Moxies and just kept giving me double shots of tequila. Because you were like, I'm kind of nervous.
Starting point is 01:29:12 I don't know what to say. It's so, it's so fucking funny. Nothing's changed. Still get nervous on the pods. It's so funny because it's so like opposite of who you are now today. Like you get on camera like that. now. I can do that. Yeah, but not in the podcast all the time. Not podcast. Podcasts has never
Starting point is 01:29:29 changed for me. I guess. It's a little bit of a different medium. It's different, but I'm like on the go guy. But yes, on the vlogs, it's like, I feel like that was like that from day one. It was Stani said it. I remember when he first saw me on Salim's channel. He's like, you just go on and you're the same person. I don't know how to, like, I play me. So, sir, sometimes you got to amp it up because you're tired or the situation hamped up. Yeah. The situation. situation happen or whatever, but it's like you're, I feel like you're in your natural habitat when you're on the pot, you love it. Yeah, I do. It's the same thing with like our videos. It's like, when you know you're going to make this like beautiful video and you don't know what's going
Starting point is 01:30:04 to happen, but you kind of have an idea. And it's like create this mold, this beautiful thing that's so raw. It's like, it's crazy seeing that what that outcome is and then, because you never know what's going to happen in a vlog. You really never know. Sure, you might have like some sort of plan and idea of like what you want to film, but it turns into something. And it's just so fun. and exhilarating and creating these moments and the reaction that the audience has of yeah what do you think what do you think was the scariest moment you've ever had on a on a vlog if anything scary ever happen we're just so in what sense of like like what the fuck like this is so
Starting point is 01:30:44 real yeah or this is bad or i don't know if we're going to put this in or like something that was like i still say this till the day if you go on my YouTube channel and you and you watch the video Sky Bre wants to have my babies. This video is just like so me navigating YouTube and my personal life for real that that that's what happened and it's truthfully just like like I'm single and a YouTube and there's this girl I connected with like Skyline's what the fuck is going on. It sounded like Logan Ball for a second there. Really?
Starting point is 01:31:22 Yeah. 100% that was weird. We're becoming the same person. What the fuck? Prime. It's the prime. Yeah. But looking back at that video,
Starting point is 01:31:34 it was like, dude, me and Alex still talk about it today. We shot just him and me. Dude, this was back when Brad was in college and I just met him. And it was this like roller coaster of emotions in real life. And I'm really freaking out in real life. Like, I'm on the road. I'm doing the YouTube. just starting out
Starting point is 01:31:52 and I had a past like fling with Skyler and she calls me and she's just like I saw you're in my home state and she's like I want to fly in to see you I'm like
Starting point is 01:32:03 I never stopped loving her through like when we were past feeling on whatever and she comes but I'm also balancing being single and like doing YouTube
Starting point is 01:32:15 and taking on this new chapter of my life that I never thought would be possible and it's just such a raw video and it was it was scary it was exciting it was crazy that and then you know the million sub video was just so it was so much that like
Starting point is 01:32:29 those are one of those moments I don't think I've still processed like even the team coming together and getting this watch for me like like that's crazy to me that they come they would come together to get me that like that's a lot of money they put in yeah like all of us are like we put everything back in the videos everyone's all in like to really come together
Starting point is 01:32:48 and all put in for this is like dude I could I couldn't stop crying. It was like, to have like a team and fan like that is insane. But we're giving stuff away. We're getting people proposed. Like it was, there were real moments that mean something in people's real life.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Yeah. And I think when those moments happen, it's like, those are the best videos. They're the best, but it's like I almost can't like, like after the fact after we do it, it's like,
Starting point is 01:33:17 it's hard for me to like process sometimes. and like, I'm so happy we did it and we do it and we're all so passionate planning it and find the right people but it's like, do that, it's just I don't know, sometimes it's hard. I think sometimes it's hard to live in the moment it's hard to process what's actually happening.
Starting point is 01:33:35 Yeah. And we take a step out of all of it. You're just like, you just want to chill and live life, man. Yeah. Like, I want to come back and play video games. I want to come back and chill with the girl who loves me so much and who's there for me
Starting point is 01:33:48 and like, you know what I mean? I want to go back and sit around my fireplace with my mom and have a long-ass talk, you know what I mean? Like, it's just like, do you make time for that? I have so much more since I started YouTube. I'm on my own time. Yeah. You know, and I have to be disciplined to say, I'm going,
Starting point is 01:34:07 I've made it such, like, living that life of grinding 24-7 on someone else's time and not allowed to go home. And I wasn't allowed to go home to see my sister's graduation. and like to me that was like dude what the fuck are you doing bro like so now like those had to be the things that really push you to be like i got to do this my own way those had to be the main thing there was a time where i didn't you know there was a moment as i was doing youtube where i had to make this decision it's crazy i remember the call i had the call of like dude what do you mean you're not going to come back and edit the podcast what do you mean you're not going to come back and
Starting point is 01:34:43 edit vlog yeah i had to say with three thousand I had 18,000, eventually got to 3,000 because I took the risk on something else. But there was a part in my wallet of walking away from my paycheck and having no money and being like, nah, I'm just gonna bet on myself and like say I can do this.
Starting point is 01:35:02 But it was a split decision where I, for a second in my head, for one second, I was like, maybe I should just go back to be an editor. Like maybe I should just take, take with her saying, I got to go back and I got to go edit, you know. Steve Chandall's done. like got deleted like i should go back and be an editor for nilk for no yeah and and then i was just
Starting point is 01:35:22 like you know thank you so much for everything for for for the time and i appreciate everything i learned so much is amazing it was love love but i got to go and it was the craziest biggest moment of my life is i had this i i had the call of saying, hey, you don't think Steve's channel's coming back. Like, you know, there's not a job there anymore. Like, he doesn't have a channel. He can't film for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:55 You're going to have to come back and edit this. Edit, putting back on the podcast, go back to this. In my head, I'm like, I can't go back. Backwards. I've always had this rule in my head. Don't take steps backwards. Yeah. And I so long wanted to be out of that office.
Starting point is 01:36:12 and what gave you what gave you the hope to be like now i could i'm gonna bet like i'm gonna take this bet on myself there was a time when i was with steve and steve really you know was supportive of my goals and my own dreams he knew i wanted to kind of do content he knew i like was into the music shit um i started just filling my own youtube videos i never put them out i'd post some clips i'd post clips and and and it wouldn't know you'd do anything but Salim kind of I think saw what I was doing and he's like I think he was motivated by seeing me like
Starting point is 01:36:48 go and do my own thing and he wanted to start his own channel and he started his own channel and he asked me to be a part of it and we did one video of being like the lover boy and it was the first time anywhere on YouTube we had this group of guys going to get girls and showing it and we did it and there was a clip of me and a girl
Starting point is 01:37:08 and talking about all of it and I saw it was like where I for the first time saw what my thing could be and realizing where my strong suit was and where people took a reaction of supporting it and getting value out of it but also entertainment and when I saw that
Starting point is 01:37:30 and I got that call I was like this is something that puts a spark in my eye I could either bury that and wonder forever or I could go after it and a very close friend to mine shout out
Starting point is 01:37:48 Adrian you know Adrian I love Adrian I talk to him and he's like if you want to do this and you really want to do this you have to be okay to going back to living out of your car
Starting point is 01:38:01 you have to be okay with going back to being broke and having nothing and it took me and for so long he would tell me that. I always wanted to do my own YouTube. He knew I always wanted to do it. He told me for so long I just fucking do it. And it took me to actually being pushed to nothing and having a split decision. It's either this or being an editor forever and doing that. Being broker or being editor. Which is okay. The editor job is amazing. It's great pay. Great people you're working
Starting point is 01:38:31 with. Amazing things you're doing. That's okay. But it's not what I wanted. And I would always want that thing that I saw sparked up right there and I just on the phone said I can't do it and I appreciate you guys thank you so I had the reaction was wondering what do you mean? Yeah it was like you're delusional and I was they have there in every right to think that I was
Starting point is 01:38:55 fucking delusional you have to be and you and that's what my my managers now who are so amazing and who've created this whole business and have changed my whole business and everything they know I'm fucking delusional and they know that's what drives me every day to do the fucking crazy impossible And I want to do that in content Who we work with everything we accomplish on this channel
Starting point is 01:39:12 What we do with Prime What we do with fucking Prime is going to be fucking insane Is this delusional mindset That drives me every day I know I'm never gonna fucking stop I'm never gonna get comfortable Some people all these people in our chats Nick please don't stop posting
Starting point is 01:39:26 Please don't get comfortable Please you know blah blah keep posting every week We're gonna keep posting We're never gonna stop because I'm fucking insane And my team knows I'm insane They all say you're fucking crazy My manager would call me Be like dude you are fucking insane
Starting point is 01:39:37 but but you know it took a couple times for me to say some crazy shit that's going to happen and they think no way no fucking way it's going to happen and it happens yeah i've talked about logan for so long i've talked about so many things on our channel for so long like there was a time where i got asked to do this like crazy big podcast and i said no for my own personal reasons and i was like but i want to do this i want to do impulsive they're like well that's not happening like it's not here on the table like but it happened three weeks later it is but i'm not i'm not i don't know why i don't understand it but i just you just i just realized you have to go with what you love and what you believe in and i don't know i i literally could have easily i swear to god been on a
Starting point is 01:40:18 fucking cardboard boxer maybe i couldn't because this is how i think and if you i don't know no you dude so i guess the thing that i really want to understand and for the people listening were like obviously love you right because a lot of those people are here right now for watching at this point that idea of being delusional and going for it anyways how did you learn learn that. And like, how did you really embody that? So how did, so okay. I was everyone from my high school, from my middle school, from my college, everyone saw me like that. I used to get, there was a Twitter page that would make fun of me because I was trying to start a, uh, uh, a production company. And it started with
Starting point is 01:40:54 interviewing people who've been successful in the industry. And I'd posted everywhere. And people thought it was fucking insane. So it's just how you've been. That's how I've been. So do you think then there are just certain people that are just built like that? like for like in other words like are some people just destined for certain success or not no no no no no i think anyone i really truly believe anyone can do it you just have to find out what it is for them because i think there's so much distraction nowadays where people go this is for me but they think it's for them because they see it working for someone else oh my you know can i actually comment on
Starting point is 01:41:35 that, there are so many people who, I think, have seen what we've done and tried to recreate it. And I wish I could tell them. I've been there. You know, I've been there for years. Go ahead. But, but, and I see it not work. Yeah. Like, because that's like, whatever it may be, like, the reason why it works is I have this
Starting point is 01:41:55 own vision, like, sure, from the rom-coms, all this thing I've built up my entire life of how I want to do it and learning the way I did and working for people I did, learn how I want to morph and form it all, it works because I have this vision. But I think, you know, for some people, they have to figure out what, like you said, what works for them and use their vision. Not try to, you can't, you can't, sure, you can recreate some things and make it your own version of it. But you can't directly, I think sometimes, sometimes you can't directly copy something. Right. You have to do something that works for you. Because what works for me is going to work for everyone yeah parts of it will aspects of it will and you can take from it
Starting point is 01:42:36 what will work for you and you can learn from it but like like i'm not like here let's just say i worked for no i'm not doing pranks yeah you know what i mean like that's that's them yeah like you know so how would you tell the person was listening this is how you figure out what works for you that you know what i i not i want to say you know you know sometimes you have to have good friends who pointed out to you. And I still remember, like, when I was with Nelke, like, Kyle would tell me, you go up to the girl, that's your thing. He's like, that's your thing.
Starting point is 01:43:12 You got to go talk to her. Fuck, I remember that. Yeah. And, and, and because I always want to talk, I always wanted to say, if I, there was a girl that passed by us, I'd always want to go say something. If I had, I was, dude, I remember this. And then Salim was like, yo, I want to take you out. And I just want you to be, he really, Salim figured out on camera how to just for me to be me on
Starting point is 01:43:31 camera and how to get this comfortability of me being me and I would go in the setting and I would do me and it just and then I was able and then once I figured out how to be me I was able to create stories and I was able to create a movie I was able to create real life and all these different aspects around it I was able to use my imagination as big as it could fucking be this is where I'm so thankful and so blessed because everything I've thought of I've somehow been able to do and now this world tour about to do, I have this big vision behind it. I have a movie trailer behind it that I've envisioned. I'm envisioning all the travels and connecting in cultures that I never thought I'd be able. And I'm hoping that it comes to life as I've always
Starting point is 01:44:17 thought of. And now I have this opportunity to do it. And it's everything I've ever dreamed of and all because I had an idea from day one. Why'd I even move to LA? Because I had an idea of what I could, I've thought about this for years. Yeah. Have there ever been any things that you envisioned like that that just completely didn't work? Yet. Yet.
Starting point is 01:44:37 Yet. I have a, he'll tell, I wish he was still here because he saw my goal sheet at Steve's house of crazy things that are written on there. Yeah. Maybe they won't turn out exactly how I thought they would, but I think there'll be some form of it. I wrote something crazy on my goal sheet. you know what should I tell you?
Starting point is 01:44:58 I don't know. Should I say this? Yeah. I wrote that I want to, there were four things. Help Steve will do a change the world. I was so invested in Steve's channel. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:07 I was there for, dude, I would have never, if the channel didn't get deleted, I would have been there because he was helping so many people doing so many great things. Yeah. It was amazing to be a part of it.
Starting point is 01:45:15 But I also had, you know, I had helped Steve will do a change the world. Have one of the biggest, have the biggest YouTube channel on the platform. Personally. Personally. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:24 Number one on YouTube. Yeah. I'm just kidding. No, you are the number one vlogger right now. There's no one doing it. You know, yeah. Anyways,
Starting point is 01:45:32 have a mainstream song. A mainstream song become like one of the biggest platinum records. I haven't done that either. And become a professional soccer player. That's the hardest one. That's the hardest one.
Starting point is 01:45:48 And I will tell you, I'm not having a comment on that. One, god damn. Bro, I, it was a, I play soccer every day. I played against pros. I played against D1 players. I think that one was a little too, like, they're fucking good.

I think it's Rinaldo, too. Bro, he is incredible.

Him and I both love soccer. He's just, like, the way he moves, it's, is he a newer guy? Should I pull it up really quick? Newer guy, younger guy? No, no, he's been in the game.
Starting point is 01:47:19 I have it saved on my TikTok. How did I not know about the soccer thing for longer? I don't know why I didn't know about this. I've played my entire life. I've never been, like, amazing or anything, but I love it. I'm an athlete, you know, but I'm not, like, I don't think I'm amazing. I've never been, like, the best kid on my team or anything. Yeah, I get it.

Starting point is 01:48:19 yeah no you're good you're good um we're just drunk like just no are we yapping yeah but that's the point that's a podcast i feel like we i've just been yapping i don't know but that's what that's that's that's what they want man i mean dude that's what it's about like it's a different way to connect with the audience you want to try the prime yeah fuck it i'll try it try it's really good this is everyone says this is like the new best flavor that the or so logan's got to send me some stuff man i know we got to get you taken care of what the hell sends them to the gym we got to get you taken care of send them to the gym man dream pop i wish it was cold i like energy it was cold it's you've been here for so long what time is it
Starting point is 01:48:54 Oh my God. Are you being serious? It tastes like a, uh, what? You don't just, well, yeah, when it's soccer. I have a game at eight. Oh, you have to leave. Um, what, uh, this tastes like, um, the popsicle. With the orange, like cream.
Starting point is 01:49:08 Yes, it is so fucking good. It's good. It's very good. Everyone in my house says this is their favorite flavor. I would have liked to have a cold, though, for sure. I love this. I love the, what's this one called? Dripcicle.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Uh, this is the one I was, before I signed. This is the one I would drink. I was like actually buy That's like that That's like the ice cream Yeah I feel like you've had this at your gym before Yeah we've had it Yeah that's the one I would buy
Starting point is 01:49:30 They would send it they used to send it to me Yeah this one tastes amazing I love to fuck drink it every morning After the fight I think you just stop sending it to me It's fucked up God sad huh What was the reason why you guys didn't film it Just wondering
Starting point is 01:49:40 Just something like talking shit Let's just fucking do this man to man Yeah because that was the whole point Yeah You know that's kind of what I was saying The whole thing was like Because it was weird It was like it went back
Starting point is 01:49:49 A while And then he randomly was like Yo I'm here And I was like, fuck it. He's like, I'm doing a pot. He's like, had me on a pod on a FaceTime. So, like, he was like, you could tell. It was like, so I couldn't pussy out.
Starting point is 01:50:00 And I was like, yeah, fuck it. We'll just do it tomorrow. I had no time to prepare. But it is what it is. I said it. So, of course, I'm fucking be a man of my word and do it. But I definitely need more cardio. Was it his idea not to do on camera or your, or your,
Starting point is 01:50:13 no, it was. Because I said originally, the whole thing was like he was referencing a tweet about just like, no can. Because my tweet was saying like, I don't give about, fuck about content, this or that, you know? I would love to see it on camera. Yeah, so what a lot of people. Logan's dope, man.
Starting point is 01:50:25 I got to say, there's no disrespect. Like, he's, I, that was a cool moment. I enjoyed the fuck out of it. Dude, he's a man, like, whatever he says, I feel like he's going to do. I know I'm loving the death. I mean, look at his life. Yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 01:50:39 Like, dude, they have, him and Jake have overcome a lot of controversy. Fucking, bro, these guys, these guys were 100% pioneers of this space. Yeah. No denying that. No denying what they've done. And where they both are is fucking insane, man. I mean, these guys are on, they're good. They're for sure on track to become billionaires before they die, 100%.
Starting point is 01:50:59 Both of them, which is like pretty fucking nuts if you think about it. Because I remember going to parties with them back in like when Jake would throw parties at his house and a few parties at Logan's house. Like still amazing fucking probably $9 million out then, right? This is years later. And this guy, you know, I don't know what the fuck they have. They probably got it all. But what they've done as far as like marketing and promotion is, dude,
Starting point is 01:51:21 different marketing geniuses different there's no denying that because they definitely get a bunch of shit they get a ton of hate all the time but it kind of comes with that territory yeah and i think they know how to sell things they know how to market things 100% but yeah it's truly it's incredible yeah that was fun i'm just saying i have fun it was good time is it wasn't so jake was gonna fight canello like actually i saw all of this shit yeah jake was smart to like come at him shoot is that is it not going to happen now it's he he signed some other fight with some like uh middle eastern like uh what's that thing called isn't he fighting who's the guy dylan danis or something no kSI is fighting oh kis i's fighting dylan dallas okay um canelo's fighting some
Starting point is 01:52:07 other professional boxer yeah did so it sounds like he leveraged the thing with jake to get someone else that he wanted yeah that sounds like what had happened and then and then is it crazy to say that i think jake has a shot with with conello yeah I mean, bro, like, I think no matter how that fight goes, it would be entertaining. The best thing, I mean, for, if this is the thing about that fight, right? Every other fight that Jake had, if he lost, a lot of people would be like, that kind of sucks. Like what if he lost to Canelo, everyone's going to be like, well, of course, it's Canello. But if you won.
Starting point is 01:52:40 But exactly, the payoff if he won, because the biggest thing in the world, like, you can't even put a, like, there's not even a number. Like, if he, what he got, he probably made 50 million just for that fight. but what it would do for him as an individual is like it's nuts like so I totally here's the thing trying to take that fight all these people say this is rigged that's rig I don't I don't know any of that shit whatever bro these boys can fight yes there's no denying that yes they can fight dude
Starting point is 01:53:08 they're they're complete athletes yeah but let's just say he beats canello bro that's not rigged you can't say a fucking thing about it being rigged no because that guy Canello's not throwing a fucking fight Like, fuck, no, he's not. That's his whole fucking, that's his legacy. It's embarrassment if he lose. It's like, like, he would never throw that fight.
Starting point is 01:53:25 He's a, like a. Which I'm saying, if he, if Jake fought that fought and won that fight, it'd be the fucking, we live in a simulation. Do you think Jake could win? Jake is bigger. Jake is taller. Could he win? Let's say, let's say you had to bet money out. You had to bet 50,000.
Starting point is 01:53:40 If I had to bet. If I had to bet, if I had to bet Canello. I would bet Canello. Because there's so much built up like, dude, this guy's a, this, he, he, he, he, he is. is that like he is his whole life a boxer and that's why i would bet against jake in that does it hurt do you think it hurts jake's career if he loses it can no no i think it only that that lose or win obviously win is like he's fucking the biggest thing in the world at that time if he loses it's like yeah of course he lost it's it's canelo and do you think the fight
Starting point is 01:54:09 has any chance of still happening eventually yeah i think so because there's so much money there because jake because that fight and they've already proven with the whole netflix thing how much the value of viewership and people want to see this see this guy lose like he has that value motherfucker just bought a plane apparently you seen that shit yeah crazy i did see that he bought his own plane crazy that is insane and i think i think what's gonna happen because i i saw like jake and logan are doing that uh i thought they were fighting but it was like a reality show yeah they're marking i wonder i wonder if that if they ever still would i wonder if they ever do that because that would also be massive it'd be huge who's corny standing well after mine and logan's uh
Starting point is 01:54:47 I would have to stand in Logan's. Yeah. Me too. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I don't think I'd be in any corner. I'd probably just be watching, to be honest. What if you had to be in a corner?
Starting point is 01:54:57 If I had to pick ones? Just making you say it. I don't know. What I think's going to happen as I think, I think Jake will eventually get that fight with Canelo. And I think Logan will get a fight with McGregor. Oh, my God. That's what I think's going to happen in the long run.
Starting point is 01:55:14 And either one, win or lose. Isn't like Logan Way bigger than McGregor Logan's huge Yeah He's also jacked his flog I know I'm like Jesus Christ
Starting point is 01:55:25 He pulled up and I was like He's fucking fucking You're like oh Here we go Yeah yeah Okay I know I'll never forget
Starting point is 01:55:31 He was like You want to do gloves Or not I was like Nah we're just gonna do Fizz Fuck it Are you serious? Yeah Were you guys punching each other
Starting point is 01:55:36 Yeah Like in the face No In the fucking shoulder Yeah Oh my God Yeah I thought it was like
Starting point is 01:55:43 I think it was like wrestling each other No it was like full out fist fight are you serious yeah holy fuck yeah i gassed i gased he was just wailing on you no no not at all okay i gas dude we gotta see this yeah it's not there a prime of that near you i turned off i turned off the cameras and everything i turn off security cameras everything man my word man of my word that's good but yeah dude i think they what they've done is just like genius it's different like they've really
Starting point is 01:56:15 they're like they've they've made themselves and i think like you could probably do the same sort of thing like they made themselves like essentially mainstream oh celebrity they're so mainstream they're huge which is which is so cool because to see it from the progression of like i remember back in the day when you did youtube and people were looking at you like you're a fucking loser what the fuck is this yeah people are like it's this you're not going to go anywhere with this like the perception of it was like what is this now every fucking organization shit everything is like media all these production companies are all like oh this is it this is the future i mean now they're talking like like short form content they're even doing like short form
Starting point is 01:56:52 like soap operas like everything is going towards clips and going towards the internet like everything is moving i mean i've seen mr b say that he truly believes that youtube will be around forever and it's the future it is dude there's no doubt like this this this youtube thing this this content creator thing like old celebrity is um is like dad dude because like think about even what happened the whole election thing and not to get political at all but like you know you have all these a list celebrities being like vote vote vote and everyone no one cares like it's it's it's proving the times they listen to the YouTubers and they listen to creators yeah they listen to people that they feel close to yeah and in a list celebrities never had that because they were just people
Starting point is 01:57:29 that you those are only people you saw now you see so many people but like you're way more engaged with them which is why you have your success which is why I have my success right it's like they feel closer to you because you tell real stories about your real life and you're like really involved and you're you're talking to the camera you're speaking to them like you're engaging with them you're inviting them on you know come to the frat party thing with me whatever it is that never happened with a list celebrities and like that's a production they're just a story they're just a figure to you that shit's dead dude the next 10 years it's gonna die even more and you can just see more creators and whether it be like streaming platform movies or videos
Starting point is 01:58:01 or rom-coms that which that's like where you should go eventually start doing some like mark walberg wrongcom shit you know it'd be awesome to be in a rom-com you could do that i'm telling I do truthfully want to be in like a rom-com movie one day. That's the future. That's the future. That's going to happen. I always want to do content. It's so like, bro, it's so freeing. And it's so-
Starting point is 01:58:20 Bro, you remember when I first told you? I was like, yo, you got something. The same way I'm told you that then. I'm telling you this now. I bet you, I would bet money you're in a rom-com someday. That's awesome. It does well and it's popping on fucking whatever. Netflix, because Netflix is the go-to-fucking streaming now.
Starting point is 01:58:36 I believe that. I would, dude, I would love to just play myself in a rom-com. come that'd be sick that'd be amazing yeah you'll do it man i hope so but i just want to say man like dude i'm fucking proud of you like genuinely i know i said that when sannie was here but i want to reiterate that again with your with just you what you've done is amazing man and i've seen it from the fucking floor up so it's like it's cool to just even be a part of it in whatever way whether it's a podcast and i'm just i'm blessed man i'm blessed and i'm grateful that like we got a friendship i'm very thankful for our friendship and you are a real one you are a loyal one because
