Starting point is 00:00:00 Amazon presents Laura versus Fruitflies. Swarming your fruit and terrorizing your kitchen. These little freaks multiply at a rate that would make a rabbit say, yo. Chill. But Laura shopped on Amazon and saved on cleaning spray, countertop wipes, and fly traps. Hey, fruit flies, your baby boom ends here. Save the Everyday with Amazon. Hello and welcome back to the 60th ever episode of the iced coffee hour podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I am Kelly Stamps. And so far, this podcast has made $71,129 and $52. That was actually really good. Wow. Can I just say I think that was the best introduction you've ever had on the podcast? That was actually really good. I was impressed. You had a little time to practice, though.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Yeah. I think when I just get a mic, I feel unstoppable. First, I was all nervous once I started. I'm a natural born performer. It's easy. Well, thank you so much for coming all the way to Las Vegas from where what? Florida, up in the Everglades. I think you're our farthest guest ever to travel. Is that true, Graham? Is it? I think it is. Florida. Yeah. We had no one else come from another country. I guess not. No.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Florida is another country. It may as well be. It may as well be. It's wild out there. But this is exciting to have you on because this started when you posted a video about how you spent, What was it? You're breaking down your income stores is how you make $40,000 a month. And I took that as an opportunity to monetize it for myself. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So I did a reaction video to you making and spending $40,000 a month. And then he started getting into your content. And you're doing some really great videos about minimalism that it's just, it's very relatable, it's very approachable. It's nothing like too fancy. It's just, but it's really simple content
Starting point is 00:01:57 that people really love. Like, how did you get started doing that? And what was your reaction, by the way, when you saw my video? And in my video, by the while, I was like, Jack, we got to bring her down. We got to meet her. And then here you are. Yes. Well, I, well, first, thank you for having me here.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah. My clone. Jack, why are you wearing that wig? I just noticed that. I think when people grow old of each other, they start to look like each other. Like how people say about their dogs. Got it. Yeah, I could see that.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Okay. Continue. Yeah. But I guess I started my channel just as a way to make myself laugh, make my delusions come to life, essentially. I first started off on Instagram, just doing little skits with, you know, different wigs in my household. I did little skits like Black Thanksgiving and what it's like living alone and just funny things. And my friends had started a YouTube channel. So I did.
Starting point is 00:02:51 And here we are, I guess. There's no agenda behind it, honestly. I just upload videos to make myself laugh. Were you, what were you doing when you first started making these little skits? Were you, did you have a job? Was, like, during school? Or like, how old were you when you started? It was 2018.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Well, I always had a YouTube channel, actually. Let's go way back. I used to post hotel reviews when I was a teenager. What? On YouTube? Because I traveled a lot for gymnastics. Are they still up? No, I would do anything to find those videos.
Starting point is 00:03:24 We would travel a lot for gymnastics like my mom and I and my dad. So we would go to really, middle of nowhere places like Virginia Beach up in the woods or somewhere and we would say it like days in quality in but for me it was an experience like I got to review this like I am Anthony Bourdain like parts that are known and I was just very into it um got a lot of mean comments people were like come get their child who is this what is this person doing it did a back handspring tutorial I was a kid a little messy how old were you when you were doing like 12 12 years old doing hotel so it's already a vlogger but I didn't actually start doing
Starting point is 00:03:58 my channel until it was 2018. My first ever official video for my channel was what to expect at boot camp because there's not a lot of videos out there. There's not a lot of military related content creators besides one person named Kyle Gott at the time. So I thought, why not show, you know, a girl going into this really boyish job of avionics? So I did a video of what to pack, what not to pack. And you don't have your cell phone for, I believe, two and a half months. So it was fun for me to share it with the world, oh, this is what you're going to experience if you actually. we sign up for the military. And from there, people thought it was funny.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They weren't as interested in the military advice. They were just like, this girl's hilarious. We like your take and my reenactment of my base commander. He would always yell at me. Apparently, I have a smirk on my face. That's the smirk. It's just me resting. He's like, Staples.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Airman Staples. Airman Staples. I'm like, Sir, Airman Stamps reports, it stamps. We never saw him again. Rumor is he quit because of me. Did you always have the intention to join? the military or was this more of like a decision you wanted to experience this? I wanted to go in as an officer after college, but after taking like a year and a half, well actually two years at Santa Monica
Starting point is 00:05:08 College in Santa Monica where I'm from, I realized I just want to make money right away. So in addition to YouTube, I said, well, I just feel like I kind of have that thing that makes money. Yeah. So I just went and got a retail job like everybody else does in Santa Monica, just start working on the channel, lived at home at the time. So I was able to actually pull in all the creative juice I needed because I think if I started now living alone it would be harder because I was able to take more risks living at home and that's how I got there I guess I just all my funniest videos were made in my house my mom was always downstairs I'm like shh she'd make one sound I'm like I'm trying to make content so those are my most popular it was yeah so so get this so when I first started I was making videos at the
Starting point is 00:05:53 Oppenheim group late at night and I purposely wait for Jason and Brett to leave and make sure they were gone. Because here's the thing. Sometimes they would go to the gym and be like, okay, they're gone. Like, I'm going to at least have an hour. They'll come back like five minutes later. And then they'll just be down on the computer that's like working. And I'll wait there.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I'll wait there. It'll be like waiting. 10.30 is still waiting. He'll leave. Be like, okay, now I got a chance to film. There was one point. It was. And we had this thing where if the door opened, there was like a beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Like the little alarm thing that would go off. Yeah. And so I was filming upstairs. embarrassing. This is before I told anybody I was making videos at all. And I had the camera set up with a light and it was like 10 p.m. at night. And I'm filming. I'm in the middle of like, just talking about something. And I hear the beep, beep, beep. And the door opens up. And it's someone from the office like walking downstairs. I'm sitting here like with the mic on with the camera. And I'm just like hoping they don't see me. And I don't know. Like is it weird? I don't
Starting point is 00:06:51 say hi. Thankfully, I basically hit upstairs. They left and I could resume filming. But it was nerve-wracking, like if someone had walked in on me, filming. So I know that, that just, like, anxiousness about that. Yeah. And my mom respected my privacy, but she was just like, Kelly, who is actually watching you do these K-pop tutorials? I said, my number one fan is in Uzbekistan. He respects me. Can you just respect me, Jersey? So, yeah, I mean, I'm thankful that I had to work around other noises. And I had multiple roommates once I moved out of home and here I am today. Got it. So you were making those. videos, how much were you making back then? Was it three cents a day when I was at home? So it was a very,
Starting point is 00:07:34 I would say steady build between 2018 up until 2020. I was first making nothing. Um, then it was three cents, four cents, 12 cents was a big day for me. I said, all right, I'm going to go to the nail shop this month. And then, uh, 2020, that's January 10th exactly. My story time video, which was totally impromptu about going on a bumble date. I actually, my mom had no idea about this video until her co-workers said are you aware that your daughter is like famous now or something but there was a video about me meeting someone on bumble and he showed up kind of bait and switched me that video how did he bait and wait you got to tell this story yeah oh we haven't seen it no you know watch okay well this one it's controversial which is good it kind of struck people
Starting point is 00:08:18 so i think youtube said all right this is making people mad it's making us money let's make her money so it just worked out um i start off in my car filming on my like potato iPhone like hello everybody I'm angry. I just drove to Italy. I drove to my home, basically. Met a guy off Bumble. Century City? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Okay. All right. You already know the one. Century City. Yeah. This guy met me. So I like typically older guys. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I can work with it. I typically like older people just because like with my experience, like I mentioned. I kind of have always been working. I just relate to people who kind of know what they're doing. Jack is very mature for a reason. Yeah, he is. I never notice any sort of different. Like I treat Jack like I would like a age is.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You don't notice a difference? No, like maybe I treat you like I would like a 50 year old, right? Didn't you say so? I would not say so. I mean, Alex, what do you think? Does he treat me like a 50 year old? Macy? I mean, I hear you laughing over there.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I think he just treats you like anybody else. Yeah, the biggest, the biggest thing for me would be the lack of awareness for laundry and for ironing clothes. Oh, right. Those two things for me. So anyway. Yeah, I like men older. Do their laundry, whatever. whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And everything was all great. And at the end of the day, he goes, oh, by the way, do you like kids? And I said, well, you know, I like steak, but I don't eat it all the time. You know, I like kids. I don't particularly want to be around them. I don't, what are you asking this? Where he goes, well, truth is, I have a little bugger. I'm like, what's that?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Like, an injury? He said, no, I have a son. And I really care about him. And I go, okay. Okay. He's like, you look mad. I'm like, no. And it became not just one bugger.
Starting point is 00:10:03 He said, well, actually you have multiple kids. And I'm just sick of meeting LA women who are judgmental and don't want anyone to do with kids. And I'm just like, on my profile, it actually says no kids. He goes, I know. But like, I just was thinking that you'd be the one. It said that on your profile. Yeah, it said no kids. So two things.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Number, how old was he? 28. 28. I think so. And to put no kids, is that a common thing? Because I feel like, we. No kid, like, it's, like, to say no kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:30 That means, you don't want to. So there's, at the time, Bumble had an option where you could say, your plans for family. Don't want, want, want, want and have more. Or have and don't want more. Mine said, don't want. But I mean, obviously I'm yelling back. I'm going to say that in sure. I might pop out a bunch of little stances.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But that just means I don't want to deal with his being how young I was. I was 23 and I made that video. No, 22. But either way, he, I felt that he didn't lie. because he didn't say he had kids or didn't have kids. He just sprung it on me at the end and it felt kind of like misled. And he basically got really upset at me, but that's the video. I told it in a really funny way.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I didn't get upset. Oh, he just said, oh, you're just judgmental like the rest of women. Wait, but you, so you retorted and you said, oh, I don't like that. Oh, no, I didn't say anything. I just said, okay. He's like, your voice is going up. Like, no, I'm not. How I don't what you say?
Starting point is 00:11:22 He's like, you look happy. I said, okay, well, to be honest, I said, if I had an option, between meeting a man who has children already or doesn't, just for the sake of me not having to worry about having to play stepmother. At this time in my life, being a literal child who just learned how to make my own doctor's appointment, I would obviously prefer one who doesn't. But I would now date someone if they did have them because I have more experience, but still, I mean, I think any person generally would agree with that.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And actually, the YouTubers made a response to it. His name is Abba and Preach. They're really well-known. It's really funny. But that video blew up because it was controversial. And so many people were on this side and this side and people were making assumptions in the comment section. Like, so what's going to happen when you have children? Like, well, I would meet someone who also has children.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Or you would stay with the person that you had children. Like, no everyone just disappears. I'm like, I have a good effect on it. The stamp stays with them. I don't know. I've been pretty good track record. But it was just a funny video. And it was so random and out of the blue.
Starting point is 00:12:23 and it was filmed on an iPhone 5. That's the funniest part. I have so many other nicely made videos about New York in my experience, but that one randomly went off three months later in January. Then it kind of worked as a trickle-down effect. So then I went to the end page
Starting point is 00:12:38 where you can add in the next video link. So then I added a New York City interview video where I interviewed men with my spatula and people said, wow, this chick's funny. So then it just went down that route. Why didn't you go down the route of more dating stories? But first, I want to think our sponsor, Skillshare. I absolutely love learning new skills in my personal time, whether it's improving my
Starting point is 00:12:58 photography, learning new editing techniques, or even trying something completely new like graphic design.

They're funny. Dating. Everyone loves that.
Starting point is 00:14:04 This has been the highlight of the vlog is just Jack and dating. You combine the two and it's the retention rate. You literally see retention goes up as soon as it's like anything Jack and dating, retention all the way through the roof. And as soon as you switch topics. Why not double down on that and be like, okay, this is, this is my, this is my infinite monetization loop. I'm going to go on bubble even more, go on more dates and just get like, just share stories. If I did go down that route, that would be really great, actually.
Starting point is 00:14:35 However, I find that whenever is an unpopular opinion, whenever people have these dating channels, most of them are single for a reason I find. When they give out advice, like, just see you now. Don't ever text a guy back at 5.01 p.m. You have to wait. I just don't want to go down that route of preaching to people what they shouldn't should and should not be doing because I think everyone is different. But it would be story times. It would, oh, story times.
Starting point is 00:14:56 You would just, you would just, you would just. I don't want to look like a crazy chick who just talks about men on the internet. I have three videos that are doing so well, though. Yeah, that's true. I feel like once you start going down that rabbit hole, all that people see you as. Yeah. And then also once you did end up getting a boyfriend, then it would kind of like, I mean, where is your channel going to?
Starting point is 00:15:13 I would belong to the streets. I'd be walking down and people would be like, oh, you saw that video. You look at a guy. Like, you're like, you're ex, man, your ex. Oh, that was good, man. It was good. And I just, yeah, is he good about for you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And when I'm talking about. And whenever I show like a mystery arm, like I have like friends and I was walking around with my friend. It was just like his arm. And people were making all these assumptions about him because of my past videos. Some guys said he's not going to treat you well. It's just my guy friend's forearm. I said from the forearm, you can tell.
Starting point is 00:15:43 They go, yeah, he's not going to take care of it. Yeah, he's got three kids. Like he's going to be a problem for you. You should date me. And they're like in Kansas or something. Okay. But not a bad idea at all. If anything, it would be fun to sprinkle those in.
Starting point is 00:15:56 But I just don't want to be known as the person. Because, you know, there's also bad stories about women. I have to keep it fair to some degree. I don't want to paint all men as bad, even though Florida, they are rough. Why? What's wrong with Florida, man? When you mix the heat in Florida with, you know, women, because we can't really wear too many layers. It's really hot.
Starting point is 00:16:15 in addition to there being many different cultures in Florida, just blended into one. You get different types of customs. For example, I was in Publix, which is the one market we have, and I was just walking down the aisle. And some man said, chocolate. I said, excuse me? He said, chocolate. He said, that to you? I said, what do you?
Starting point is 00:16:32 He goes, chocolate, skin's so smooth. I said, oh, you're complimenting me. He goes, yeah. I'm like, oh, okay. Thank you. And he just stared at me. Like, so in his, where he comes from? Oh, I spoke to, he's from Israel.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Okay. So I live in a very, like, I don't know, the community is interesting. It's half Jewish, half Cuban. Then there's me. So I literally stand out like chocolate. So when they see me, they just don't know how to act. But, you know, if I come out here, people are like, hi, how are you doing? Lost an experience.
Starting point is 00:17:02 They just don't say anything. They're like, they saw you. I'd be like, vanilla. And my friend and I together, they said, caramel and chocolate. Oh, God. It happens. They said that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:11 People call you out by your appearance. Like they say legs to me because my legs are 99% of my body. Do you know the Peter Griffin meme where his legs go all the way up? That's me if I stand up. Have you seen it? I don't know if I have. You comment below if you know what I mean. We'll put a picture up here. Peter Griffin, the legs go all the way up.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So that's what looks like when I wear a skirt. Got it. Okay. So anyway, so Bumble stories start blowing up for you. Yes. Is that when you started doing it full time? Not necessarily. So I didn't really plan the full-time thing.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I was already uploading two times a week since the beginning. It was more like the income passed a certain amount that I could live off of. It was about April, actually. This is pretty recent of 2020 when I said, you know what? Mother, I'm tired of you yelling at me about the fork in the sink. That is your fork. If you're watching, that is your fork. It's not my fork.
Starting point is 00:18:02 She likes to leave dishes in the sink when I used to live with her. And she would just like leave anyway, petty stuff. So I said, you know what? I make exactly $5,200. After taxes, that's only this amount. But I'm going to move out. So I went to New York City, started making content the same way. I didn't change anything about.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I just started vlogging more about New York, my experience there. It kind of changed from funny story times to let me show you the city. And this is my experience living here, not knowing what I'm doing. You know what? When you mentioned April of 2020, that's when the YouTube algorithm, I think, really started recommending your contact because I think at the time when I first saw your channel it came up recommended to me I think you maybe had a hundred thousand subscribers ish and I remember I sent your channel the Macy and I'm like Macy check out this channel I don't know what you were doing but the
Starting point is 00:18:54 videos kept getting recommended and and it was just they were good videos uh nothing like like r-rated like no swearing or anything nothing inappropriate it was just really simple good videos Why do you think they took off the way they did? So I'm used to seeing myself every day and I'm used to just waking up and just existing. But according to the comment section, people keep saying it's so nice, you're such a breath of fresh air
Starting point is 00:19:23 that you're just yourself on camera and that I apparently don't try to talk with an extra high-pitched voice or seem extra excited. Like, hi, guys. It's kind of like... Alex is cracking up over that bag. That's grand.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah. For me, for me, guys, Listen, with finance, you got to make it exciting. So you got to take yourself plus at 50%. Because already you lose like 20% of yourself, just being on camera, you're less exciting. So you have to. And when you're providing such high value content like that,
Starting point is 00:19:53 people naturally don't want to listen. They just want to hear, how do I become rich? How do I become rich? I don't understand. They skip to the end. So you can do the, hi, guys. But with my channel, I think it's just that I truly just depicted what I was really going through in each phase.
Starting point is 00:20:08 because currently I'm in a phase where I said, okay, I want something new. I need to either launch a podcast or a second channel or have a business like you suggested. So I think it just took off because people said I'm like a friend in their head. That is what they keep saying. And I've met so many other YouTube people when I lived in New York City. All of them said they've never been approached as much as I do. I got approached five to six times a day living in Manhattan. And people feel so comfortable coming up to me because they feel like I am their friend.
Starting point is 00:20:37 So I think it's just that I offer advice or at least talk I say whatever people are thinking but they won't say it Yeah and I don't apologize It is odd like I remember when I first started Like watching your videos the content is so easily digestible Like you could just like watch Yeah exactly you could just watch it and listen
Starting point is 00:20:55 You never get bored even if it's not the most exciting content For some reason you're just drawn into watching it And it just works I don't know what it is My friends said it's my bush baby eyes Because I don't blink. And I could tell you something right now. Like, did you know that 60% of penguins are actually going extinct right now in Santa Monica? And there's a huge short, like...
Starting point is 00:21:16 I believe you. Yeah. Until you said Santa Monica. God. I don't know. It's teasing. You know what I realized, Alex? That you're wearing two different kinds of socks?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yes. But you know what else? Oh, what? We could just sponsor ourselves in this video. How about that? You know what? That sounds great. I always like my own posts anyway.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Me too. And for a limited time.

Well, thank you guys so much for watching. Enjoy the discount. And with that said, let's get back to the video.
Starting point is 00:22:12 What made you want to make that income video? I actually didn't want to. You didn't want to. No, but I know why I did. Because, yes, but also, I wish I had someone like that on YouTube to be honest when I was starting to give me a ballpark of what I should be earning. So it wasn't really, I actually, I'm not going to say regret making the video. I just don't think it's anybody's business how much you make or what you vote or any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:37 However, I got nothing but thank you, Kelly. Thank you for telling me because I was lowballed so much in the beginning when I had like 30,000 subscribers. I should have been getting like some brand deals by then, but people were just trying to send me like wigs for free and like hair extensions and stuff. So I made that video just to say, okay, people, this is what you can be earning just so you know because every day I wake up, like, what on earth? I can't believe I make a living, just being myself on camera.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I want other people to know that they can do this too and more. How do you get started with the minimalism aspect? Was that when you moved to New York? You didn't have furniture and you're like, I'm minimalist. No, actually, I think, oh, who would I watch? I watched some Marie Condo videos. She's really well known for fashion, like, organization. And there's a thing called the Con Mari method where she cleans out.
Starting point is 00:23:29 How do you know? Have you seen this before, Macy? Okay. Women tend to watch her a lot. She's very popular. I lived at home, and my mom has a lot of clothes. Like, we're very close, but she's super into fashion. She has so much. And we moved after my parents got divorced.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And I saw how hard it was for her to move. I thought, wow, that can't be me ever. So I went to my closest crossroads, treating post, the Buffalo Exchange place, took all of my clothes, sold it. Realized most of those clothes, I never even wore. And most of them weren't even worth the investment in the first place. It was such a pain trying to sell everything on Poshmark. But I made about $600 from a gigantic closet and realized, oh,
Starting point is 00:24:05 why don't I just take that 600 and just buy a few statement pieces that will last me forever? So that's kind of how I've been since. When I moved to Boston, though, I did go shopping because I started getting bigger YouTube paychecks. So I kind of got addicted to shoes. But then I sold them all again because I realized this shouldn't work with it. So. You told me that you have like six articles of clothing, right? Yeah, this is one of them.
Starting point is 00:24:26 It's my favorite. It's like a t-shirt, but it's a dress, and I can dress it up day to night. But how do you... Oh, let me correct that. Six actual, like, outfit articles of clothing. Like dresses, I have a dress. Oh, right. I have thermals to go to bed in and underlayers, base layers.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But in Florida, you really don't need that many clothes because I wear, like, the dresses I wear have to get dry cleaned. So they don't really, like, get dirty. Like, cashmere, stuff like that just doesn't get soiled easily. I don't know. And I really do. have dresses that go from day to night. I just have shoes.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Shoes that change. Would you trust Jack with your laundry? No. Okay. Here's why. Why not? I have silks. I have cashmere.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I have linen blends. What do you do with silk lingerie? Okay. So on the washer at my house, there is, there. So my mom. No. There's a setting that says delicates. So I'll spin it to delicates and I'll put all this stuff in.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And then I studied. Do you use regular detergent or a special type? I use the expensive one. Tide. Tide detergent. And then of course you need to add the fabric softener. The fabric piece of paper. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:44 In the dryer. That's the first time I've ever heard someone say softener. Is that what it's called? Softener. The tea is like a quiet. Right. You add that to the dryer and then you take it out and you're done. And when you dry, put it on delicate setting.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Wow. Did he practice? I think he did. Wow. Just add the dryer sheets to the washing machine. No, I don't add it to the dryer. Dry sheets and the dryer. Not the washing machine.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Okay. I will say that's actually not bad. Personally, I like to hand wash my clothing because it saves a lot of water. And I don't have that many outfits. So again, it'd be a huge waste. But I still like to go down to my garage and wash because there's always some sort of animal in the garage. It's fun going downstairs in Florida.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah, you're right. there is a certain wash I use Delicates, but I usually just hand wash everything and hang dry it because it takes care of clothes better and I don't have to buy new clothes. Delicates. You ever heard of that, Graham? Delicates, have you ever heard of that?
Starting point is 00:26:41 I've heard of such a thing before. That wasn't bad. So what was your reaction then to watching my reaction to you? Did you know who Graham was before he reacted to? Yeah, I will admit, I don't watch your channel like Clockwork. I don't watch anyone's at Clockwork. I watch Cat video. and airplane stuff,
Starting point is 00:26:58 but I know very well who you are. I feel like you look the same in person, but you, like... Yeah, that would worry me, but what? Like, I feel like you haven't aged. You've had a channel for so long. You're like the Benjamin Button. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I'm getting wrinkles around here. Okay. Well, it's just kind of funny because I'm like, oh, I'm sitting next to the person I watch. Now I see how people feel when they meet me. But I know about your channel. I know about your main channel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I didn't know about the iced coffee, our podcast. And I thought it was really funny. Once I started watching it, I thought it was insightful. way to share knowledge of people like me who don't know anything about investing or personal finance in general but i knew you're going to make a response people were telling me graham's going to respond to this if you make a video so i was wearing my instagram followers i said you guys keep asking me they want
Starting point is 00:27:39 they feel more intimate with me they don't feel like i'm being gaudy by saying oh i earn this amount of money it's more like i've always been very transparent from 2018 i earned three cents today i remiss so when i made it i saw a response i said oh okay it was a surprise i said this is going to I know that you were you nervous like I was going to quit you weren't nervous everyone seems nervous like I'm about to like rail end it. Well you know I I didn't answer a lot of things is I didn't realize in the moment I should like you asked what happens with the rest of your money. Yeah. Also didn't leave if I included my cost of flying I would have been more nervous because I'm very protective over that. But again, it's something I invest a lot of money into because it's my hobby. Yeah. I wasn't nervous. I know that my car lease is expensive and I feel like. kind of been different about it. I like the car. Gives me confidence. I was only worried about that getting chewed apart. Is everyone chews me apart for my car? But in Florida, you, ooh, I,
Starting point is 00:28:34 when I flip on people, I'm like convertible. Yes. It's so fancy. But also I might trade it in and get like a little SUV or something. You can do that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I mean, literally with Audi. You can trade it and get a different car. But I can also do like a lease swap. Okay. But I wasn't nervous. I was just excited is I feel like everyone told me it's a milestone if you make it in the sea. I'm like, oh. Wow. They said, Kelly, we're so proud of you. Someone said, I feel like you're my daughter. I'm so proud of you on grants.
Starting point is 00:29:02 So, okay. Gosh, that's nuts. It's a milestone. Yeah. Wow. So where does the extra money go? I am very old school. I'm very much like my dad.
Starting point is 00:29:13 He was very stubborn. It better not be cash. It's cash. No, actually, no. It's a savings account that doesn't earn any interest with Wells Fargo. Worse than that. I think savings accounts are completely useless. That's a checking account.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It's all, it's all, no, no, it's actually not. It's, well, the worst you could do is a Wells Fargo checking account. Oh, no. I have just typical, I don't want to tell people my bank just in case someone, some hacker finds a way in, but it's. Which one is it? Okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I feel like they find a way to hack in. For a business account, they're really good. Yeah. So I have a business account for, well, I mean, they're kind of bleed into each other, but I have a business account, which is just where my YouTube earnings go into, I guess. And then I have a personal account, which is just, it's still, it's still, Oh no, I just said it. I meant I love TD Bank.
Starting point is 00:30:03 It's just in my checking account, but I, a long time ago, actually, like did Dogecoin when it first came out. Didn't put in that much. I wish I did. Because now it's not a joke anymore. I'm like, oh, there's Dogecoin millionaires. How much did you put in Dogecoin? Just $300. And what did it turn into?
Starting point is 00:30:20 I think it was like $1,300. And you sold it 13. Yeah. What would that have been worth now? Oh. I feel like. Well, it's hard to tell. I would think probably at least something tells me maybe $13,000.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Yeah. How long ago did you buy? This was 2017. We know, this was 2018. Okay, no, it would be worth a lot. Yeah. Don't remind me. 18, that would have been.
Starting point is 00:30:47 It would be worth at least like 45 grand. Yeah, that would have. Because it was a fraction of a cent back then. Yeah. Yeah, that was like 0.02 cents. It was a lot of money to me back then. 0.2 cents or something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:02 And I'm someone who's just, you know, I didn't get the finance talk from my parents. So even doing that was like, whoa, this must be some pyramid scheme. I don't understand this investing thing. But yeah, so I just keep it all in savings because I wanted to honestly just make a huge risky.
Starting point is 00:31:19 A yolo? A gamble? No. Not all of it. But I just mean, for me, I'm like, I'm talking like $20,000 to $50,000. just higher. That is a lot.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Hire to be a lot. So I guess at this point, there's got to be six figures in that account, just sitting there not doing anything. That's a big opportunity cost. Because the market has gone up in the last year. It's like 20, 30%. So take whatever you have. 30% is basically how much you missed out of by not investing your money.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And I didn't know. I didn't, well, I knew. I just didn't know where to go to. And actually Robin Hood app worked with me on a sponsorship. And that's when I found out about it. like actually how to invest. I still don't know, to be honest, but they have a program called like,
Starting point is 00:32:02 learn Robin Hood. You don't need any of that. But I worked with them. So I just use the Robin Hood app. I just have something in S&P, what's it called? Vanguard. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Vanguard, sure. It's just that. I don't even look at it. To be honest, I don't know what I'm waiting for. I think it's just a fear of losing the money. No. It's not going to happen like that.
Starting point is 00:32:21 The worst is probably going to happen. If you're in an S&P 500 is like it goes down, the market goes down 50. That's the worst that's going to happen most likely in the next. Who knows how many years. At some point it's going to go down. And if that happens. But you're going to keep buying in.
Starting point is 00:32:35 It's not like you're just going to go once and then never again. And also there are bigger problems than your portfolio if the S&P 500 goes down 50%. Listen, as long as you're making YouTube, as long as you make money, whatever that investment is worth in the meat, it doesn't make any difference. So if I were you, I would take of that, it's a lot of money. I would imagine take 70% of it, even half. Half just to take half of it, put it all in the S&B 500. That's it. Not with Robinhood.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Not with Robin Hood. Really? Get a brokerage public that has, get public where you could get a free stock down below in the description. Use code gram and it's worth all the way up to $70. And when you deposit $100 in the platform, someone get a free stock of Tesla. I will. I'll do public then. But honestly, for like, but actually do it.
Starting point is 00:33:22 But I actually get the free stock in public. Now, my point being. if I were to invest more than like $100,000, $200,000, I want a brokerage where I know I could call them up on the phone if I have any issues. All of the other brokerages are great. Like, I know people who have seven figures on Robin Hood. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just, for me, I'd rather have a phone number.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Yeah. So that's what I would do. Former Mr. Kelly Stamps was a, that was his job. And he was the one who's giving me advice. He's like, you should just put it all in. I'm like, I don't trust you, Stan. But he was the one who's telling me that same advice. Wait, so when did he tell you to,
Starting point is 00:33:54 put it all in. Oh, this was like, not all in all of it, but he was saying if I, you know, go off and become a commercial pilot and just use my YouTube money as investing money, this was like four months ago. So you would, well, well, okay. Four months ago is not so bad actually. You would be, so, yeah, so four months ago, you would be up to day like 10, 12%. Just still, I mean, that stinks.
Starting point is 00:34:16 That's a 10% just for five minutes of work. Yeah. I would do that now because what else is going to happen is that if you don't do it now, It's easy to put it off and put it off. And it gets scarier because the more the market goes up, the more it's like, oh, whoa, now it's even higher. So I would just recommend take half, take half. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Put it in the market. Let it be. Don't ever look at it again. And psychologically, too, just treat it like that money's gone. And then now what's in your savings account is still going to be a lot of money and then just continue adding on to that. And then start investing on a consistent base. Take like five, 10 grand a month.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Just keep buying the same thing. and then keep the rest of the money in your savings. I kind of see my YouTube income as, I mean, it's real, obviously, but it just doesn't seem real to me. Like,
Starting point is 00:35:02 how do I earn that much? So I just want to play around with it because I'm, I just, like, I'm not in all of it. I'm not going to be like the game, where's it the golden nugget? Put it all in,
Starting point is 00:35:12 Marty. But, yeah. So I'm willing to finally start investing now that I have a grasp of, oh, it's not, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm not going to be crying in the street. Like, I lost everything. Yeah, here's the thing with YouTube is, I've seen how sporadic it could be. Yeah. And I've seen just how quickly it could go from like great.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And you get one video that gets shadow banned. 10 out of ten. For like no reason at all. And then the entire channel drops like 20, 30%. And you realize like, oh, geez. With YouTube, it could be like the highest of highest, the lowest of lows. And I've seen so many channels just out of nowhere for no reason. Just they just, the whole channel just nose dives.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And then they get like, why am I even going to bother? They move on to something else. Yeah. So I wouldn't. I wouldn't yolo any money until you have. have more money than you really know what to do with. Like years. This is more like a three, four year plan.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Right. The algorithm so far has been very kind to me. And I think it will be. I think it will continue to be kind to you, but you just, you never know. Yeah. Yeah. All it takes, my opinion is it's, the algorithm could change at any moment and you got to prepare for that.
Starting point is 00:36:14 So I've always prepared like, next month, this is going to be the last month. And then it, hopefully it's not. Right. Yeah. I think we should probably circle back to expenses. So back to your $40,000 a month income. So you said that you spend a lot of it on flying, but you didn't disclose that in your video.
Starting point is 00:36:30 No. By the way, I don't know if we're talking about, like, because you're talking about becoming a pilot, like flying flying, or if we're talking about traveling flying? No.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I, I have been a recreational pilot for a long time. You can't actually take your solo test until you're 17, I believe, of parental consent. But I've been dabbling in it for many years. The thing is I already had,
Starting point is 00:36:52 set aside for that. So none of it came from YouTube until like just recently just to pay for some new hours I've been doing. But it hasn't been coming out of my recent YouTube money. I put aside 10,000 many years ago. A pilot's license for personal use is about $14,000. I'm paying $8,800 for mine. I already paid up front. I just have to pay for airplane rental, which is like $147 an hour and some fees for the FAA to make sure I'm not. What airplane is $100 something dollars an hour? Oh. a Cessna 172, a really old one. And that's a lower rate because the school owns the plane. So it's kind of complicated, but it doesn't belong to the school.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Someone like you just bought a Cessna and they're renting it out to the school. It's scary to drive and drive to fly an old plane. I actually trust them more because we already know the problems with it, similar to avionics. Like you know, I would feel safer. I mean, I'd feel a lot more comfortable on the Gulfstream. If you have a Gulfstream, find me around. But a Cessna, I know what's wrong of it. And there are notes that we're given in a plane.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Like, okay, this one has a problem with the Aileron. Well, that would be a really bad problem. You don't want to do that. But these things are worked on constantly. So now. Is the 147 an hour, does that include gas? Or is that just like to work? I don't pay for fuel, actually.
Starting point is 00:38:11 The flight school covers that. Unless they're, yeah, it's like in the cost. So 147 an hour. And then how many hours would you say you do this per session? I spend more time on the ground training. But I would do lately it's been only three hours a week flying which doesn't sound like a lot
Starting point is 00:38:28 but when you're in the air for three hours like one whole hour above Florida doing stalls which is when you there's a power on stall or a power off stall we're basically practicing all the worst maneuvers that can possibly happen to a plane recovering from that because the pilot that flew me over here for example from Florida has to know what to do
Starting point is 00:38:44 if the engine goes out. So that's why the expensive cost is there. It's just renting a plane. If you stall the, a plane. There's someone else there if you don't know what to do that they'll take over for you, right? Sometimes yes. What do you mean sometimes? So we are doing solo soon. So the path of getting a personal license is you first are doing
Starting point is 00:39:05 ground school where you're learning, the aerodynamics of the plane, the forces of it, why it flies, how it actually flies, which is the part that's so exciting to me. How does a plane even fly? Here we go. Don't get it. It's metal and it's in the sky. Don't understand. You're getting thrust. You're getting thrust. And then because the way the wings are, situated it's naturally going to lift on it's it's a tiny little thing you ever listen when your parents are like drive on the freeway and you stick your hand out and you do this and your hand go
Starting point is 00:39:30 give me your hand this so this is the wing right this is technically it's called an airfoil an airfoil is any shape that generates lift basically yeah so there's wind coming here okay high pressure moves faster yeah yeah so basically when you're flying forward the wings are generating drag here, lift, and there's weight. So when the four forces are combined, and there might be flaps, which never are there on take off, but, you know, it's hard to explain.
Starting point is 00:40:03 The wind is going to push up against the wing and lift up the plane. I'm just surprised those propellers can spin fast enough. Oh, they're very fast. I guess that's what it is. I can take you in my plane. It's very fast. It's faster than you think.
Starting point is 00:40:15 But I'm only allowed to fly one plane. But yes, so I have an instructor. We're currently in stall training, which it just, it makes me so uncomfortable because people die sometimes doing it. But I love it. If I'm going to die anyway, I mean, I have to. When I die, I want it to be in a plane. You do?
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah. How so? In a crash? Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't want to die in a plane. I just mean, if I do die, when I die, I hope it's doing something that I love. Oh, okay. Wouldn't you want to die like 90 or 100 years old?
Starting point is 00:40:45 No, I'm so tired of being around. By like, that's how Graham wants to die. I don't know. Like in your sleep? 75 is good for me. I don't know. That sounds terrible. What if you're like really able at 75?
Starting point is 00:40:57 Like you're able to like run around and be all crazy. People are young at 75 now. Yeah. I just. I don't know. I'm kind of good. Like I feel that I, my heart is so full. I'm so happy with all my hobbies.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I just, I'm just really excited to just live in the moment. And I just want to do what I love forever. See, but like I love reef aquariums. I wouldn't want to die in one. I'd rather that just be a thing Well, I'm not die in one But maybe die like admiring one
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah Or like fixing one Kind of, I'm just saying I'm not scared of it I was I don't know Yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:41:31 It's a little morbid So how much have you spent on that? 8,800 exactly It's not bad No, and then here's where it gets expensive So if I just stop there Totally fine I can just buy a little plane
Starting point is 00:41:43 They range Their cost is very vast An old Cessna The little planes that you see I'll insert a picture for you Alex help of one mine. They can be as cheap as 100,000 or if they can go up to like
Starting point is 00:41:55 600,000. If they're new, obviously they're more expensive. But then you have to pay for the hangar, a mechanic, maybe an avionics person. So that's why most people just rent a plane. If I want to be a commercial pilot, that's why I'm kind of grappling with now.
Starting point is 00:42:11 This is where you're going to, this is why I didn't mention this in the video. If I want to go and become, let's say, a Delta Airlines pilot, I'm going to have to invest at least $100,000 to earn at this, starting salaries, maybe not for Delta, but in general, are around $29,000. How? No.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I always do, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, commercial pilots are, they make not enough money, I feel like, for the safety of hundreds of people on an airplane. There's many reasons for it. So why does the school cost so much? Why do they make so little? Because that would assume now there are a surplus of pilots who all want to fly planes. No one. Well, it's, it's a mixture of different reasons. There's a huge dearth of pilots because, A, most people drop out. They're a washout rate of flight school, just, not even just military,
Starting point is 00:42:59 just mean like regular what I'm doing is very high because it's a lot of studying. It's more of what people realize. And I had so many moments. That's why I've been doing it forever. I just never continued. And it's very expensive. People don't realize how expensive it is once you get past the PPL. And instrument rating is another 7,000 or so. Commercial license is about $40,000 or more. Because you not only have to rent the plane, you have to accumulate. I should know the amount of hours off the top of my head. Let's say 250 hours of flying. Do that by the amount of hours to rent the plane. It's a whole investment. It's a very rich old man's activity. And airlines just don't pay well. I forgot the exact reason for it. I heard that if you're a commercial pilot, like you can make six
Starting point is 00:43:42 figures pretty easily. The ride that steals the spotlight every time it hits the road, that's the Volkswagen and Tiguan. Its sleek exterior makes a first impression you can't ignore. Step inside to find available full leather seats and wood accents. Under the hood, the available 201 turbocharged horsepower engine gives it
Starting point is 00:44:02 a fun to drive edge. The refined Tigwan, you deserve more style. Visit vw.ca to learn more. SUV, German engineered for all. So I know someone actually lives in my building. He's a 747 pilot. I forgot which airline. He told me stay in there, kiddo, because it's going to be worth it.
Starting point is 00:44:21 He first did, they're called, I know the name of it, the people who fly across the beach with banners. He did that for like $30 an hour. Then he got hired at SkyWest Airlines. $30 an hour. For those banners. In Florida, they usually say really bad things. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:36 I mean, I don't want to tell if I can't. I could see that being like kind of fun to be like on a Saturday afternoon, going to fly around the beach. Ice coffee hour. Yeah. You get paid for it. That's good. Like a fly your coffee.
Starting point is 00:44:47 But still 30 an hour, I would assume. a hundred an hour. Yeah. So commuter planes, you can just look this up online, Alex, too. You can see this. It's awful. They start out 29,000, but that's a gross amount. That's not after taxes. That's not after the hotel stays. I mean, the airline pays for it, but this guy started off really bad. Then he got hired at American and got 50,000 as a, not a captain, but a first officer, which is the person who's on the other seat. They still do all the flying, too. It's not like one or the other necessarily. But as a captain now for an international airline,
Starting point is 00:45:19 he earns $300,000. So it's a very slow build to becoming a captain. So that's the thing that most people just drop out about. I see. So it's a lot of money to get it. Low pay, but over the long term, you could make a lot of money. And you're away from your family.
Starting point is 00:45:37 This guy's single. It's just, it's a very, it's someone like me. It's meant for me. Like I just know. So that's why I said, I didn't mention it in the video. Because I was like, he's going to get mad at me. I most likely want to be an airline pilot.
Starting point is 00:45:48 It's just the only thing I've ever dreamed of. You don't want to make YouTube videos for- Oh, I do. I can do both. I can do both. Both. But why, but why, listen, so, but why not just make YouTube videos and travel? Like, just, why, why do you need to fly the plane?
Starting point is 00:46:05 Because I am dead inside, just making videos in my townhouse, waking up every day, having to please everybody and also please the algorithm and also figure out, oh, what am I going to do this week? It's not healthy for me personally to be surrounded by just social media. I have to have something else going on. Even just taking my golf lessons, which I'm so bad at, it just makes my day and then I'm more motivated to actually make videos. And do you know how cool it would be to have a woman making videos online about there was actually a couple people, Dana Life is an airline pilot. That is like binge worthy content. It's not relatable being like, here's my matcha tea guys. Oh, today I'm going to go to the gym and
Starting point is 00:46:45 Howie and I are going to, we're like on the rocks. Howie? This is like a typical influencer. I don't know. I just, I want something more from life. Why not, but why not just, you could do that as a hobby. Like, get a cool airplane. Fly it around on weekends.
Starting point is 00:47:00 You really want to do a career starting out at the 29,000, walking your way up. But I make like 60,000 a month with YouTube in addition of that. They're not, they're not too mutually exclusive. Wouldn't that be very difficult to do both at the same time? And would they want you to do social media? I've seen quite a few people fired from their jobs for mixing the two because they make YouTube videos. It would depend where you work, I guess, but there are so many airlines social media people now. There's someone named like 74 pilot.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I talked to someone. What's his name? He's really well known. There's a lot of people now. It's becoming normal. And actually airlines kind of like it. Like I purposely tried to fly American to meet this one kid. Oh, I forgot his name.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Anyway, he's a really young guy. And he became a pilot. Same thing as me. He just put in a lot of money into flying and didn't come from a whole lot. It's his passion. And you're like me. You just understand. I have a passion for serving others.
Starting point is 00:47:52 So for me, if YouTube were to just start paying me only $3,000 a month, I would be totally fine. I just, I have such a passion for just helping other people. But not enough to the inners. I don't like blood. But you want to make a yolo bet too.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Do you know what type of yolo bet? And then we'll get back to your question, Jack. Not necessarily. When I say airline pilot, I don't mean the next two years. I mean like a seven-year plan. Got it. I just plan to fly in the meantime,
Starting point is 00:48:18 make as much money as I can, of course, from YouTube and create other streams of income as well. I mean, the YOLO plan would be so that I don't have to worry. I want it to be a stream of income so that when I am an airline pilot, if I get used to my little Audi and everything, I don't feel like, oh, the ghetto. Downsize. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:48:39 But that would be the goal. Then you'd have to move to Las Vegas. Affordable. It's affordable. I'll be the golden nugget. Yeah, it's nice and affordable. Test me on the slot machines. That should be the Yolo bet.
Starting point is 00:48:49 It's just put $5,000 across the slot machines. Yeah. Log it. I've never gambled before. Really? You've never gone? Wait, are you serious? Wait, that means you're good luck.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Yeah. Really? So there's a superstition in Vegas, especially for women. The first time you gamble, you win. And any time you go to the craps table and, like, you don't know how to roll the dice. Macy did this too. I don't. You don't know how to roll the dice.
Starting point is 00:49:13 you roll, it's just like number after number after number after number. You'll see all the guys around, they take out more money in their pockets. It's a thing, but it's true. The superstition is true most of the time that people will bet on it. So if you gamble, I will put money on that. Okay. We can go to my hotel. I'll gamble.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I sat at the machine. I was just like, this looks complicated. And you didn't, so you've never put money in a machine? Never. Wow. Never. I have a friend in Boston who there's a big casino. It's so random.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I have a win casino like right and kind of outside of Cambridge. So there's like beautiful hover, then there's the wind. And people go there and gamble all the time. And he's like, I got to take you with me. Good luck. So it's not my first time hearing that. So if you, let's say you were in a commercial plane just traveling somewhere. Let's say something happens to the pilot.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Will you be able to like swoop in and save everyone? It depends what's wrong. at this basic level knowledge that I have of someone who's just put in many hours towards a PPL, I actually, I think it depends. It depends. I literally know how to like fly it and land a plane. The cockpit varies though. I have to take 10 minutes sometimes to find out where the fuel gauges are just in my Cessna. So if let's say the engine is out, I could probably find it in my FAA regulations book, which is like this thick. There's always an answer somewhere in there. but that is actually
Starting point is 00:50:42 I want to say it's a goal like I'm not going to hope that a pilot dies on a plane or anything but I would love to be like yes does someone say pilot like I always find a way to insert that I'm a pilot
Starting point is 00:50:51 someone's like so many shoes thinks I'm a pilot like what I'm a pilot so I think that's all of our dreams actually again I just like saving and helping people like Captain fix a broken boy but you're not broken you're a CMO right
Starting point is 00:51:06 you could fix Jack how would you fix Jack what about me would you fix? See, I like, I don't mean projects in a bad way. I would open his eyes to the culinary arts world. I love amazing food. I talked about Wagyu steak.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah. I would show him traditional Wagyu steak, like how to make it on my Komodo Joe grill, lots of travel. I just think travel opens up. I haven't even left this country, by the way, I've only gone to Canada and Mexico. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yeah, same with me. Kato, Mexico. But you know what else opens up your mind? Red Rock Casino. By the way, big shout out to Red Rock Casino. They hooked it up. So maybe the podcast before this. So last week's episode, we flew in my old boss, my ex-boss, and I confronted him.
Starting point is 00:51:56 And Red Rock hooked him up with this incredible room. So we booked the room. He shows up there. Now, I'm not saying if you book Red Rock, they're going to do this for you. But I just got to say, we got there. And we were checking in and they're like, oh, no, sorry, sir. You're at the VIP entrance. We're like, what?
Starting point is 00:52:15 And as we check in the VIP, this room overlooks the pool. And Red Rock is my favorite casino in all of Las Vegas. So my recommendation, if anyone is coming in to stay in Las Vegas, go and stay at the Red Rock Casino. Nelk does a whole bunch of different videos there. They're a nice casino. They got amazing places to eat and tell them Graham Steffen sent you. It looked really nice. It's really nice.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I almost stayed there. I was telling Jack to recommend it. I guess you had booked already somewhere else. Yeah. I almost went with it. But then I thought, well, now I regret it. I hate the strip. I hate the loss of the strip.
Starting point is 00:52:48 You don't like it? It's so, well, I like it. Like, when we hung out, it was fun because I had, you know, a shield to the horny men. They're like, instead, they just look up and down. Yeah. Listen, you can't walk down the strip as like a single person alone. That was last night. You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I got some. I mean, it was an eco boost because. in Boston I didn't get any attention because all the guys are like really nerdy and they're like women and then in Florida she's like chocolate so here I got like chocolate and it was a mix of everything I was like thank you
Starting point is 00:53:19 well this is the thing because people travel from like around the world just to come to that one area on the strip and everyone is under the influence of something they're going to say some of stuff and they're only in town for the weekend so they know whatever they say or do there's no repercussions they're going to go home like go back to their normal lives
Starting point is 00:53:35 but here whatever they do, they can get away with it. So you get just the extremes of like who people are, like what they want to do. Like people on the internet, you know how they act? Yeah. Internet warriors. That's how people act in Vegas. It's like the equivalent to being behind a computer screen because they know they're leaving
Starting point is 00:53:53 like the next day and they're under the influence of something. So that's, I can't stand the strip. Red Rock is my preference. It's beautiful. I regret not staying there. And this is not sponsored. I actually do regret not staying there. And by the way, this is not sponsored either.
Starting point is 00:54:06 They didn't tell me to say anything. This is just purely me thanking them. Yeah. In conclusion, I would take track of my little plane or literally just travel. I just love sharing my finite knowledge about the United States. Because I think travel makes you smarter. If not smarter, you're more open-minded. Like, there are so many weird things that happen in where I live in my neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:54:27 And I've just gotten used to it. My next-door neighbor is from Columbia. And I would never know. She told me this amazing story. How she's like, yes what? I make $40,000 a year. I'm like, she's like, that's amazing. I can sponsor my family.
Starting point is 00:54:41 She starts crying. I'm like, there, there. And it's just, I would never know. To me, that's not a lot of money. Because here, that's like an entry level salary. But hearing her story and how she came up from poverty and she's just like, I'm going to be your auntie. I'm going to make you like empanadas and everything.
Starting point is 00:54:56 That's what travel does. Or not in case travel, but just learning other people's cultures. That's how I would help. And I would teach you how to do long. laundry and say what say it oh no I wasn't thinking yeah say it no you got to say it you got to say it is it my hair no no I'm totally different wavelength you got to say it you got to say now if it's I was going to corrupt you I yeah you can't just how would you corrupt jack get it over with bleep it out if this is anything over PG 13 yeah we're going to have Alex voice over what you're saying
Starting point is 00:55:36 in a very PG way it'll be funny. Like, he's just so happy. He's just sitting there. He's always... He just looks game for him. You are always very happy. Guys, the retention graph right now is insane.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Oh, yeah. Let's keep going down this rabbit hole here. I just feel like, okay, I haven't had like that much experience, I would say. However, the few experiences I have had, because I've lived in New York with really crazy weird people. I know my type. And I'm just very adventurous. and weird and I just feel like he'd be the perfect project
Starting point is 00:56:15 to turn into some like super oh no like a hippie guy no oh no he's so innocent I was talking more like I could turn into someone who would enjoy making all the decisions oh my god
Starting point is 00:56:27 I see it did you hear that? We don't want to corrupt I like Jack the way he is that's the thing like I don't want Jack to change I don't either but I want him to always be like this happy I like the
Starting point is 00:56:40 What was the word you said before? Just cheery, just easy going. Cheery. I like the wholesome. I like the wholesome cheeriness. Yeah. And I don't want to see Jack coming. Oh,
Starting point is 00:56:51 I'm going on the table. Get on the tail. Get that dumbing done. Yeah, just like. I'm looking at that way or too long. No, no, like that. I just mean it's funny. Like, that's part of, that's the beauty of
Starting point is 00:57:08 relationships, I think. It's just getting to know other people and just trying new. That's just me. I'm just very adventurous. I think we're the opposite because he kind of said that you've kind of like stayed in the same neighborhood for a while. Well, that's because I kind of have to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Graham. Holding you hostage. I took Jack the farthest he's ever been away from Ventura. What? Yeah. Vegas. We went to San Francisco. I haven't been farther than that?
Starting point is 00:57:34 Where? I've been to the farthest. I've been to. I went to San Diego No When I was 11 I went to Alaska I went to Alaska
Starting point is 00:57:49 I think I have all of you beat by the way All of you beat I've been to Alaska Okay so you've been to Alaska Yeah But you get to see a different culture in Las Vegas Yeah It's awesome here
Starting point is 00:58:02 Yeah strip It's great Keep going Keep going They were, listen. The retention is good. That's good. That's good.
Starting point is 00:58:11 He's not comfortable. Let's keep talking about Jack. He trusts me. The retention, pshh. It's just wholesome. I like wholesome. That was the word of, but that's the specialness that I don't want to lose that wholesomeness.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Oh, no. You wouldn't lose it. Okay. Let's put it this way. I have dated only one person, like really long term. And then to other people short term. They were all really intense, aggressive, non-easy-going, complete opposite of wholesome.
Starting point is 00:58:37 finance guys. So they were always like, oh, stock market, oh, my boss. Oh. It doesn't be like. Really? Yeah, the New York people, like Manhattan guys. Wow. Yeah, I mean, it's just you're kind of, he's cracking up. I got used to it. Because that sounded like me up until the point where like, because I am like to me, made me to say AMC this morning. AMC, did you see it? Did you see GameStop? Yeah. I got to do a video right now. And they were, they were kind of always, you know, very, I don't know, like, it's. It turns out those kind of people, usually are the ones who need to be babyed all the time. They're like totally, I don't know, mommy, mama's boys, let me call them, where they need everything.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I feel like it's the opposite. When someone is, you know, normal appearing at least and more independent, uh, I'm curious of what they're actually like. Is it a facade? Is it a facade? Maybe. Maybe. I would say that the biggest thing is, is Jack needs to clean his room.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Dude, I showed her my room. What do you think of it? Now it's clean. Now it's clean. What do you mean? Now it's clean. It's been clean for the last... It looks fine.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I don't know. Yeah. I thought it was clean. There's been a few times that the door's left open. And Ramsey, Ramsey looks in there and it's like, that's his time to go in the room.
Starting point is 00:59:50 And then I got to get Ramsey out. So of course, like I got to walk in there. That's not what you said. You said whenever you walk by my room, you just can't help. You can't help yourself, but look inside.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Both. That's happened. It's either one or the other. And then you comment on it too. You comment on it. The doors open. I look in. If Ramsey's there.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Ramsey goes in, I'll grab the cat and I have to step around, you know, landmines. See, when I walk by your room, I don't look. I keep my eyes, like, peeled forwards. Because you can't see anything. It's just a hallway. Yeah, exactly. It's true. Well, Jack, what do you want to say about?
Starting point is 01:00:22 Do you have any rebuttals to this? Any rebuttals to it? No, I would say it's pretty accurate. I would say you pretty much depicted me, like, as I am. I'm very easygoing. I would say that's one of my most defining characteristics. I don't really ever have a temper or anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Jack and I have the nicest, the sweetest disagreements. The nicest things. Jack will come to me after mulling something over for weeks. Yeah. And I know, because sometimes he'll joke with me
Starting point is 01:00:51 every now and then like, you know, I know when he's serious, Graham, we, listen, we got to talk about something. You have a sec? I've,
Starting point is 01:00:59 like, oh, Jack, what is this? So I was kind of thinking, you know, we got this thing. And he'll just explain his, around the bush. Don't want you to get it. You know,
Starting point is 01:01:08 this is what I'm going through. Can we do this? It's the nicest thing. You could tell I'm like super passionate about it too because I've been thinking over it for like. Yeah, nervous. It's like, but yeah,
Starting point is 01:01:21 every single time we've gotten in some heated discussions. I would say a little, not disagreements, but little tiny things. We're always able to work it out. It's good. It's nice. Very,
Starting point is 01:01:33 very easy. That's good. Would you say that you're like a, aware of your baggage and if there's any like what what we say are your flaws because i feel like whenever people are like i'm easy going i'm fine they're usually crazy my flaws or maybe not crazy but just unaware of okay what do you i mean what do you think are my flaws don't say laundry i see you smiling what um gosh i'd have to think about this because i want to give a real answer yeah um got well it's nothing
Starting point is 01:02:06 work-wise. I don't think there's much that I could that I could talk about there. Well, Jack and I have different work ethic. So sometimes for me, it's like, I have this standard of just like just filling everything to brim. That's not Jack. So that's
Starting point is 01:02:22 I can't complain about that. Jeez. You have to think about it. That's good. I would just say it's an experience thing. I just think the more experience you get, the more grounded you'll be. That's all. But I don't think it's really a flaw. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:38 I don't think it's a flaw. It's probably it. I can say the flaws I think I have. Yeah. I definitely think there are times where I'm not very assertive. Like I'll kind of just exist. And if bad things are happening, I just kind of act like they're not.
Starting point is 01:02:56 And I just kind of cruise. But if I have to speak up, I will, as Graham has seen. You know, like if there's an issue that keeps coming up over and over and over again, and I can't take it, you all say something. But I just don't like arguing very much. And I feel like for a lot of the times, like, arguing is worse than actually just dealing with the problem. So I usually just deal with the problem. What if it's something like I had a best friend for about a year and a half?
Starting point is 01:03:21 And I didn't tell her from the get-go that I thought she was handling certain things in a really weird way. And it turns out it was too late. I was kind of just in that friendship or, you know, it could be a relationship out of comfort. And then it just came to the point where it was just too much. And I said, look, I think you're crazy. I think you're super disrespectful to your boyfriend, everyone around you. And she's like, what? You never said this before.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Why would you? I said, I don't want to be your friend anymore. So like. What was she doing? Oh. She crashed her brand new Mercedes Benz that her parents just bought her. They got her a new one. It's because she was texting and driving on the 405 freeway.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Hurt somebody else. Didn't care about it. It's just a repeat thing. She's an only child. I'm an only child, but I was like, not like that. I was taught them, you know, how to be respectful, I guess.
Starting point is 01:04:10 I mean, it just happens when you're in L.A. Rich parents kind of thing. She was physically abusive to her boyfriend. She said it's okay. He's a dude. He can take it. How, how, like, just hitting him or what? Like, role play.
Starting point is 01:04:23 We're at Olive Garden. Hey, I would love some breadsticks. You know what? I really don't want breadsticks right now. Do you think I'm fat? Do you think I'm fat? No. You think I'm fat.
Starting point is 01:04:36 No, that's not what I'm saying. You look at the, waiter right now. You think she was skinnier than me, didn't you? No. It just don't. What? Oh. Oh. You don't you put your hands on me ever again. Oh, no. Wow. I was like, that was, sorry, that was her. Yeah, I don't blame you. Yeah. But it's just that her boyfriend didn't say anything and her friends were too afraid to say anything. And I wasn't either. I was like, shit, I want to get slapped across the face. And, you know, and you let behavior like that go on for so long. I don't know. So that's my thing. I learned that. I didn't say anything to my ex.
Starting point is 01:05:09 about things he was doing that I thought was unusual. Like he would just go around saying like slurs that I thought were really inappropriate. Okay. And then one day I was like, you know, I think that you shouldn't say that. He goes, what? No way. And I'm like, yeah. He's like, oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:26 So that's my thing. It's not your job to change someone. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I've realized. It's like you can't really change someone. If it's someone that I really, really care about that I've known for a long time trying to go in the wrong direction, yes.
Starting point is 01:05:38 So like I'll do everything in my power. to steer them back on their path, the correct path. But if it's someone that I'm, like, that I'm, like, friends with, I'll just, like, I'll just not be their friend. It's not be a friend. I'll just stop hanging. Yeah, I'll just stop hanging. I'll stop texting.
Starting point is 01:05:51 I feel like it's, you know. I have a flaky friend like that. I just kind of downgraded her from friend to acquaintance. You get drinks in a large group, so I don't have to expect anything out of her. Yeah. Because I'll be, like, you know, get hit by a car in the middle of street bleeding. Like, I'll just change her name. Kelsey, can you call 911?
Starting point is 01:06:07 Oh, you know, I feel like Snapchat. This guy first. Hold on. Oh my gosh. I just can't rely on her for anything. But I just know, okay, that's just who she is. So I don't like to change people. But it'd be fun to experiment.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Just make sure Jack stays wholesome. That's a wholesome. Happy and wholesome. We need those two things. If either one of those is gone, blaming you. I don't think, after now hearing this, I don't think he'd be the type to, like,
Starting point is 01:06:32 go into the whole 50 Shades mode. I don't think so. 50 Shades mode. Which is totally fine. I've never seen that. Do you know what the movie? about? I know that it's
Starting point is 01:06:42 a very touchy it's very like physical movie. By the way guys, we got to talk briefly and we'll get back to you Jack. Don't worry. It's not amazing. We got bankroll coffee. You guys have always
Starting point is 01:06:59 said that you want to drink the 20 cent iced coffee. Well, guess what? After a year of mulling things over, we finally got bankroll coffee. This is the new coffee. You guys have always. It just came out. The link is down below in the description.
Starting point is 01:07:11 I don't know if we're sold out yet. We might be sold out by the time this post. I don't know. The link is down below in the description. Bankroll coffee. We got a whole bunch of different flavors of coffees. We just unboxes today. It's brand new.
Starting point is 01:07:22 But down below in the description. It smells really good. Yeah. There we go. I love coffee. I started drinking coffee as a result of YouTube because I find it hard to sit down and edit a video. So I might be time to hire an editor.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Yeah. We got to talk about that. Sure. I got you out of that situation. So you're actually considering onboarding help? Yes. I don't know which way I want to do it exactly. Because I like the idea of having someone around the clock living.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Like I have a huge townhouse. I might as well. But I don't like living in other people. But that will make me more money. When I have someone who's a cameraman, like in my videos like when I did my home tour, I just light up because I feel, I give the whole arsle dazzle dazzle. When it's just myself, it feels like a job. It's a chore.
Starting point is 01:08:07 So yes. I don't I didn't have a good experience the first time I had an editor because it just looked like everybody else's videos and it's a certain thing that other people can't do
Starting point is 01:08:17 it's just like that comedic timing but I believe that I can find someone I don't know I've seen your videos and they do have that like personal homegrown touch to them that I feel like sometimes you lose that yeah especially with the video where you're talking about something personal
Starting point is 01:08:32 yeah and like of yourself yeah I want to be like guys like my grandma die PIN-ch-ch-ch-cloth. Smash the like-butt with the little like button. Don't forget to subscribe. That's the one thing I hate. It's every finance person that hires an editor.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Always says that little thing where the little mouse scrolls over, clicks the subscribe button, then goes over the notification. Why don't you like that? Because every, first of all, it seems really cheesy. It's so much better. And every single finance person has the same thing. It just, it immediately screams. You're paying, you know, $5 an hour for.
Starting point is 01:09:07 an editor overseas to go and do this. Really? Yeah. I disagree. I think it just looks better. There's more to look at when you're watching it. There's like movement and stuff like that. I like when I do it. The little PNG file comes up.
Starting point is 01:09:21 I prefer that. So much better. I don't know if that, does that actually help your channel I think? I've never said like or subscribe. And I think I should be saying that. But now it's too late. They're going to be like, oh, you want me to like and subscribe?
Starting point is 01:09:33 Your like ratios are crazy. Yeah. Yeah. You've had the highest like ratio I've really ever seen. I would test one video and just try asking people in a really creative way not to hey guys hit the like button
Starting point is 01:09:45 but maybe do something like you know what I think that deserves a like on the video you know what yeah let me like my own video and then what you should do you could do a cool editing trick where you like you reach over and like you press the button yourself be like okay that's better or like wait a second something's missing hold on understand
Starting point is 01:10:00 something like that I think would be really fun but yes it does make a difference I've noticed when I ask people to hit the like button, it'll almost double the engagement on a video. Yeah. So like guys, right now, make sure to hit the like button. And there's a portion of people who's like, oh, you know what? I forgot to do it. Let me just do it.
Starting point is 01:10:19 It's so easy to do. Other people who think, you know what? He asked, I may as well just go and do it. Some people rebel and they're like, you know what, just because he begged for it. He's begging for, I'm not going to do it, which is fine. But just the mere act of mentioning it. And then I've tripled the amount of likes on a certain video by either offering them something like,
Starting point is 01:10:40 I'll show you a picture of a baby clownfish. People love that, a picture of an animal. Or if I do a skit or if I say like a challenge, that this video gets 50,000 likes, I'll do something. People love that because then it feels like, okay, I'm going to be a part of this, I'm going to get them to do that.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Interesting. I feel like, no, I don't feel. I read a lot of comments for some reason. Right before my, I would guess people call it a blow up, in January, I got comments like, ooh, this girl is popping up everywhere. I don't want to like this video. I don't want to like her, but I like her. I'm going to keep watching.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I won't subscribe, though. What was the point of saying that? People just didn't want to like it. And then once they came in, this girl sent me an email. I just want to say, I was in Wisconsin and like my wife, my wife. My husband and I watch her videos. And I thought that your voice was really dry, bland and annoying. Your voice?
Starting point is 01:11:29 She said your voice is so low, deep, dry, and bland. but 27 videos in, I have to say I subscribed. 27. Like, I just responded. Like, I said, thanks question mark. Did you respond? Yeah, I said, thanks question mark. Like, thanks.
Starting point is 01:11:45 And it was an email? It was an email. Oh. And I shut my DMs off. Just because it was just getting out of control hectic, people are like, talk about Palestine. I'm like Palestine. Wait, you got, wait, are you talking about Instagram DMs?
Starting point is 01:11:57 Yeah. Just because, you know, when you blow up at the rate that I did, which is in such a short amount of time, People expect not just be a YouTuber. They want to be their friend, their therapist, but also their politician, their UN ambassador. I'm supposed to talk about every single issue,
Starting point is 01:12:12 everything. If I don't, that means I am a bigot. Like, talk about, you know, the parking spots at Costco. I'm like, oh, do I have to? That means you don't care about the parking spots at Costco then.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Like, well, I don't know. I don't go there. Okay, then, bigot. I go. So, guys, anyways, my next video. That's true. I made a very clear distinction. I'm not going to get involved
Starting point is 01:12:33 in It's really controversial outside of finance No but not not anything contra it doesn't need to be controversial
Starting point is 01:12:39 but once you start taking a stance in one thing minimalism but you did it on this but not this so I've taken a stance that I'm going to stick
Starting point is 01:12:47 just with finance I'm not going to get involved in politics I'm not going to besides Kevin Kevin's a buddy we got to support our friends
Starting point is 01:12:54 but besides that I just stay out of it yeah even like that happened of minimalism because when I started out I was very hardcore and I was
Starting point is 01:13:03 also I think just doing it just to kind of defy someone. I don't know who it was. I think it's just because like I said, my mom is whole opposite to me. She's very unorganized. There's a lot of clothes, like, super into fashion at the time. I was very boyish and just not into it. I think I was like, look at me. I'm holding me. I'm wholly over now. So then I realized, oh, I do like shopping. I do actually kind of like hair and makeup. So I started accumulating things when I made more money. And people came at me and said like, oh, you have five pairs of jeans now. You said that you would never buy a pair. I'm like, well, I'm wearing caprees now, Karen. Deal with it.
Starting point is 01:13:33 Yeah, that was something that I got myself in a corner on that one because I was, well, I still am really frugal, but I was like frugal to an extreme. And that's what people wanted and expected. And then as soon as it is still extremely frugal. Uh, I these, wait what? That's true. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, so I said, like half jokingly, but I was kind of serious to.
Starting point is 01:13:57 No, you were not joking. Don't act like you were joking, Graham. You were passionate about it. I told Jack, he doesn't need to flush the toilet. if it's just the number one. That is true. Yeah. I didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:14:07 To save water. Yeah. I mean, I do it because I live a lot. I'm like, it doesn't, yeah, but it doesn't matter. Like if it is, because Jacks, just by himself, no one else is going in there.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Just, it could accumulate a little bit and then you flush. I mean, obviously, if it's something else, you could flush that. But it just, it saves water. It's good for the environment.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Yeah. It does. Yeah. But also, I don't think my lack of flush is going to help the world, but it still makes me feel good. But your justification,
Starting point is 01:14:34 wasn't that it helps the environment. Your justification mainly was that it costs more money. Because who's paying the utilities? And you know what? I looked it up. You know how much cost per flush? Like 10 cents? No, no, less than 10 cents. I'm guessing it's probably about a penny. A penny. One penny per flush. So that's all I'm going to say is Graham asked me not to flush after I go. So I stopped doing that. I'm done with that. Yeah. And then what was this like a few days ago? You said that I noticed that you're taking taking kind of long showers. Oh, I did. I did say that. You're like the TLC people.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Timing the husband's showers. Listen, there's a water shortage. And we, especially in Las Vegas, we can't be taking these. Okay, but that's not your rationale. That's not your reasoning. I can see that his eyes. He's trying to convince himself. There's a water shortage, Jack.
Starting point is 01:15:26 We can't have we taken a long showers. Trying to take showers of my dime. My dime. Oh, gosh, that was hilarious. Yeah, but it's admirable. I think it's a great trait to be frugal because you can't control it, but like your actions, if you are frugal, they tend to actually help out because you're more resourceful. You're not using so many things. So that's good.
Starting point is 01:15:49 You know, like Graham doesn't waste. I remember when you went to Yoshinoya and he would take the sauce. I love that place. He would take the sauce packets and bring him home. And then he wouldn't use them, but he would store them. So I am a, I am a collector. Yeah. I'm a fine.
Starting point is 01:16:04 Because you never know when you're going to need that. When you're going to eat sweet sour sauce. Oh, you know what? I had a whole collection of chick-fil-a sauces. Yeah, that's a staple. Because you never know when you might need one. Because first of all, if I throw them out, then it's a guaranteed waste. But if I keep them, then at least there's a chance I'm going to use them.
Starting point is 01:16:24 It's not going to be a waste. Yeah. Yeah. My aunt is, I'm just not watching, super cheap in Alabama. We're in Walmart, which is the only place to go to socialize. She's like, Kelly, quick, go grab some of those bags. Even when you're at the checkout in Walmart and there's plastic bags, she grabbed the entire chunk of those bags. Their entire supply took it home so you can use them as trash bags.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Yeah, I mean, I use I use bags as trash bags. She should, but she literally took their entire. Don't you have to pay for those? Yeah, she's like, Kelly quick. I was like, what? She's Kelly, I'm like, I can't get arrested. I'll get attacked in jail. Like she just, I wouldn't arrest you for that.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Yeah, no. But still, she was just like, we looked so sketchy. And it was too late. I already grabbed the bags. I'm like, I'll have to make a run for us. I've stolen one thing. And there were probably 30 bags from Walmart. And it haunts me to this day.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Walmart, if you're watching. You got to go back and replenish. Spend a little bit of money, Walmart and, you know, make it up for them. Yeah. How do, do you plan out your videos? Because you make them seem very effortless. Like you just flip on the camera. You have like a bit of a thing you're going to say or like an outline of what you're about to do.
Starting point is 01:17:24 And you just freestyle it. I plan out some videos, the sit-down videos. I will actually have a notepad and very, like, rudimentary. system of writing out videos take my moji pencil and my moji notebook pad i write the title like the last one i wrote is why i moved to outer space and there's an ongoing joke on my channel but i just like hate everything and everyone and it's just me just being frustrated again with the things i mentioned i'm just so tired of having to play a role to everybody and please everyone so i said you know what why not just move to outer space um so i wrote it out i said it's going to be like 20 minutes long first open the scene
Starting point is 01:17:59 with me flying in my sessna really far out and have it fade i read down like fade to black and I write out open scene. Like, I'm going to have a green screen. I write out the first few lines. I just think, what will make people go, huh? I don't know what she's saying. I'm just going to keep watching. Like, I do weird stuff in the beginning of my video sometimes.
Starting point is 01:18:20 I used to bust out of my closet in my house. I was just surprised people by entering through weird ways. I'd come from under the desk. So, yeah. That's cool. That does get your attention because, who was it? It was Logan Paul's editor. He is an amazing channel.
Starting point is 01:18:32 But he always says the first five seconds He got to grab their attention So I usually try to get like the first 15 For like a finance thing Like what's the hook here? So you coming out like shocking people Are doing something weird At least it gets you thinking like
Starting point is 01:18:44 What's going on? Let me watch a little bit longer Yeah And I think that's what the lady meant in her email She didn't mean it in a bad way And she said, I don't want to like you She just said your channel is you're so dry Your sense of humor's dry
Starting point is 01:18:56 It's not making me want to jump up And freak out It's just very long drawn out humor And it might go right over your head kind of humor. So I like that. But it is more challenging. If I don't act more Logan Paul,
Starting point is 01:19:08 like, whoa, whoa. Can you act Logan Paul like for like 30 seconds? Yeah. Yeah, I was sure, man. Like, you know, like, I had beef of him anyway. So like, this, this fool right here. So he, he, so bro, I heard you talking about me. I just want to say, I didn't really appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:19:23 You know, bro? You know, bro? Yeah. You're gonna go. No, we can take us outside. You know what? What's up? What's up?
Starting point is 01:19:29 You know what? Just, I just, you know what? I said, What I said, I don't care that you broke your elbow. Let's take this outside. Look, I'm with the final channel, bro. Like, I really appreciate your podcast and everything. I just want to say, like, it's just not.
Starting point is 01:19:44 That was good. I didn't expect, like, I can't do his voice. I expected, honestly, like, the energy. I didn't expect an actual impression. Who else can you do? I feel like you should just do impression. Can you do David Dobrick? I have a net.
Starting point is 01:19:55 I've only seen one of his videos, but I see his apologies. So. You see his apology? Wait, wait, wait, wait, do it. Sadness. Okay. Cue the sad. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Hey guys. Well, I'm sorry. I normally, hold on. Okay. I didn't mean to say the N-word. What I was actually was saying was Nutcracker.
Starting point is 01:20:23 And it just, it came right off the tongue. And, you know, I, guys, like, I'm dealing with mental illness right now. It's not my fault. It's your guys' fault for making me so popular. And I just,

You know, it's just, you've got to live your life and, yeah, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:21:11 That was pretty good. Make sure to hit the live. I can do a few people. Yeah, like, who else would we know that you could do? Yeah, the mannerisms, yeah. The hair flip, the hair flip was good with Logan. Yeah. Brah.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Brah. Yeah. He's like main people. I can probably do. Jeffrey Starr. He's going to, like, attack me. I think he's, I think he's funny. I like him. Okay. Ooh, I need to walk for this one. Okay. Oh, hi everyone.

Starting point is 01:26:00 Hey guys. Welcome to the 59th. Wait, hold on, which episode is... 60th. Hey guys, welcome to the 1000th episode of the iced coffee hour podcast. My name is Graham Steffinson. Today, so far, we made $2 million.
Starting point is 01:26:12 And this candle, it has just been my lifesaver. This candle, oh my God, will you smell that, Jack? That's a pretty good candle, right? You know, this candle was sent to me by one of our friends on the show. Oprah, Winfrey, thank you so much, Oprah.
Starting point is 01:26:24 She sent us this candle. It's handmade in... Where is it, Tibet? It's in Tibet. Wow. Thank you, Tibet for sponsoring this video. Free Tibet, people. It's not bad.
Starting point is 01:26:34 That's not bad. But it's always the foot. And then Jack is pretty easy. You don't talk that much. When you do, you're always like pretty good questions, but it's. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Oh my gosh. Dude, it's the, what? You don't do. That's what? What? You don't do much.
Starting point is 01:27:23 But when you do, it's very specific. It's like, what? Why do you want to, why do you want to shave my head? I don't understand. That's so good. I can't. Oh, my God. That's all I've seen mostly.
Starting point is 01:27:40 That's all there is. That's just, that's me. Chill and. a one-liner. It's always the sit and chill. It's just the... You can try to do me. I'm so bad at impressions.
Starting point is 01:27:56 I'm so terrible. Hey, guys, it's Kelly... Hold on. It's like a nerd. Hello, guys. It's Kelly Stamps here. Today, I'm going to... I'm the iced coffee hour a little bit.
Starting point is 01:28:08 Yeah, yeah. What I'm about to? Go to the moon. I'm... I'm going to get my pilot's license and I'm going to be a commercial pilot sometime. That's good. You're supposed to see the spatula. Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:21 I'm going to have a smash a lot. No, spatula. The inflections. Very distinct inflection. Yeah. How do you do? See, I'm so terrible at impressions. I could try.
Starting point is 01:28:32 It's more about the body language and the voice. Okay. Because I'm always like that. I always use my hands. Okay. Is it way too straight like that? Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Hello. It's college stamps here. Oh, ooh. What's coming out? I sound like a muffin man. You're like a parrot. Oh, boy. I just know you make a lot of sounds.
Starting point is 01:28:52 You make a lot of like, like, out-lib sounds. So thank you guys so much for watching. And one thing I want to mention that I don't mention too often in videos is that we do actually have a mentorship group down below in the description where you could meet with me every other week. And you can also talk to Jack every other week as well. We do Zoom calls. We talk for about an hour, an hour and a half.
Starting point is 01:29:11 You could ask me whatever. questions you want. It's a really small group, so we have a lot of one-on-one time. So if that's something you're interested in joining, the link is down below in the description. How about one final word for Jack? One final for him? Yeah, for Jack. Like either a word of encouragement or like a piece of advice or like one little tidbit we could end on. I love criticism. Yeah. You love criticism? Yeah, yeah, I do. He loves to be criticized. I love it. I need it. See, he is a I told you there's something in there. I'm kidding. He looks uncomfortable. Um, one piece of advice. I don't really have any. I would say he was very respectful when we met. He opened the door.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Oh, my feet were hurting so much because my cowboy boots aren't really met for walking. Jessica Simpson lied. That's on. Boots are not made for walking. He offered his shoes. That was nice. You offered your shoes? Yeah, he's really going to walk barefoot or try to squeeze into mine, which probably would not work. I had, what would you wear, Jack? I would, I mean, I had socks on, dude. I would have just walked my socks. That's a gentleman move. I have never seen somebody offered their shoes before. You know what would happen? But she didn't do something.
Starting point is 01:30:12 No, I think her feet were hurting actually pretty badly though because she brought it up a few times. And I would prefer just to, because my feet weren't hurting. But you have a different shoe size. But at least. I would have been like some space, something to walk on. Yeah. Okay. Good.
Starting point is 01:30:26 I don't have any criticism. Talked well. I told them to do that. I would just say be open to, you know, now that you, no, not that. I mean, not too. But now that you, you know, are non-call. and you have enough money, I would assume, to take a weekend trip, ask Graham,
Starting point is 01:30:43 be like, you know what, Graham? I want to take a day trip out to, you know, Idaho, for example, and be like, you know what, Kelly Stamps is subletting a beautiful condo there? See something else other than Vegas Adventure. That's actually a great piece of advice. I just think, even if it's just weekend trips, just traveling outside will open your mind to so many new things. So that's more like a suggestion for you and a comment for you.
Starting point is 01:31:08 saying let it lose I'll return him in one piece well thank you thank you for that and there's no other criticisms really I don't I can't think if I just think then that means no okay there we go so with that said you guys
