Best moment of my life when I told my professor you a fuck himself and I left class I was like maybe the highlight of my entire fucking life not fucking ten models Not any of that shit but telling him to get fuck because I made $400,000 that month playing poker and I was not in the mood to hear his shit and I fucking told him that I said motherfucker I made more money last week You know make it in the next three fucking years so you talked to me to some fucking respect had it out like, and I was fucking right. And the thing that he said to me, the thing that he fucking said to me that really stuck out was, ah, if you're so fucking rich,

what are you doing in college? And you know, I thought about it for like six fucking seconds. I was like, you know what, dipshit, that's the first intelligent thing you said all fucking semester. It's like, fuck you, I'm out of here. I walked out, I walked fucking class, I'm fucking crazy. And I never fucking forget the ride home. I was so fucking happy I was like I don't have to listen to this dumb fuck shit anymore. I'm gonna show up to this fucking school. I'm to listen to these motherfuckers. I can go wherever the fuck I want to go and nobody can tell me what to do and that was like a fucking defining moment. That was when I was like in my 20s man. That was like 27. You know, I as a fucking millionaire and I made the fucking money myself and I was stoked

and I didn't listen to anybody's shit. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Money Monday's. I'm here with my co-host, The Real Tarzan. We have a very special guest. This has been a dear friend of both of ours for many, many years. They have traveled the world together We've done businesses together have fun together social media together They poker together and everything between ladies gentlemen, please give a warm round applause to mr. Dan Buzarian All right, so normally people do bios. I don't think we really need to do one here

But I still like to give your version. What's the two-minute bio on mr. Dan Belsarian? Oh man, I gotta get my own bio. I like it when somebody else bragging about it I can do it. You were at all the hype man. No, okay, so I can tell you guys so about 15 years ago I think we know each other since 2008 I think yeah 2009 2009 when since 2008. Yeah, 2009. 2009. When I was living in Panorama. Yeah. It was like the fucking...

Yeah, the penthouse at Panorama Towers. So we started an online poker site. I had some fun there. And social media started getting cracking right. 2010, 2011. All of a sudden you go from like four and a thousand followers to a million followers. Then there was this fun one where you do like 30 Xboxes on the table. And you said, tag a friend and like

700,000 people tagged a friend And he basically invented the tagger friend thing and all of a sudden you got like four million followers and the rest was history But along the way we've watched you play ultra high stakes poker I mean we're gonna get into millions of dollars in poker sides Invested in Bitcoin like a decade ago. There's so many interesting stories of Dan Buzerin and there's also a lot of mystery and mystique of everyone thinking like How did he make this money where it was it from poker was it from Bitcoin was it from cryptocurrency? Spongebob and Dorsmond deals and ignite what's the thing and so I feel like I perpetuated like a lot of it because The whole trust fund thing got me into so many games

You know, it's I never really like argued it. I almost leaned on it. And so then when I kind of like got out of poker and I was like, yeah, like, you know, trust, yeah, my trust fund never really like kicked into a way later. You know, it's funny because like people didn't believe it. And then they kind of like, it's funny. They like hated me for things that weren't true and then love me for stuff. But like what it was just like very strange, that's why I felt like I kinda had to write that book, you know, like, set the record straight. And I still think people just can't wrap their hands around that I made a bunch of money fucking playing poker.

And I would like to verify by the way, I know the people he's beaten poker, so it's 100% and one Jill is Zillian percent of the truth, so I have to hear the stories. the stories People cry to me about it talked about the hands and he feels there ain't had ace for I can't believe he had that blah blah blah And then lost four million dollars in one night. It's true guys. Yeah, man I have all the wire transfers Remember this one time on Instagram you posted a 10.4 or 10.8 million dollar wire transfer. It was amazing Yeah, that wasn't even the biggest one, but like you know, it's funny because I wasn't really like trying to brag about that at the time, you know It's one of those things where like I wanted people to think that I sucked and so I would always like you know talk about the fucking losses

I would never really like focus on the wins and Then when I quit poker I kind of like would tell people my story and they just wouldn't believe it and I kind of like really wouldn't give a fuck because I also thought that I might go back in, you know? And I'd like been so used to like leaning on the whole thing that whatever fuck, I really don't give a shit if people believe that I got my money from poker and not honestly don't.

And honestly, I wouldn't give a fuck where I got my money either. Like it all spends the same. Like I don't give a fuck. I wish I got handed all the fucking money would have been a lot less fucking stress in my life fucking hair you know is there any in particular poker hand that stands out is there any like one major hand winter lust yeah for sure it was the biggest hand I ever played it was against Andy beel or no sorry it was against Andy Beall and I, or no, sorry, it was against Al Gore's and I totally fucked it up. I fucked it up so bad. I had Ace 4 Diamonds and he had, well, I won't tell you what he had. So the board come two diamonds. We're playing 10K, 25K at

the time heads up and I don't remember exactly like how many bets we got in on the flop. It was like, I think it was like a raise, re-raise or whatever, and then a call or something like that. But it was like, there was at least like three or four million bucks. I think it was like four million bucks at least in the turn comes, the diamond, give me the nuts. And he led into me three million bucks. And I had like, fuck, I had 18 million to start the hand.

So he led into me three. And I really like we had enough money where I just didn't want to give him a free card to like pair the board. I thought he had a pretty big hand. He's not a big fucking like fan of folding big hands. So I like re-raising the minimum just three, but you know, three million bucks, you know, I'm just like, well, if I make it six million, I can ship the fucking river for sure. And he like, he can't fold for another three. And then like, how's he

gonna fold the river when there's fucking, you know, what, if three, three, six, 12, plus three, you know, there's fucking, you know, it's like less than a, yeah, less than a pot size bed to ship the river is like, so it just seemed like what else is gonna raise, you know, I didn't want him to fall at the fucking nuts, but at the same time, I didn't want him to drop her free, I don't know, I guess like looking back, maybe I should have just called,

I mean, if I would have just called, I would have got all the fucking money. I played it probably the worst possible way I could have played it. And he just fucking tanked, and that was another thing is like, he would ask me all these fucking questions. He would fucking ask if he could take money back. It basically goes to the whole fucking thing.

And you're like, in his house, you feel kind of like rude, like not accommodate, like just to ignore the guy when he's asking you questions. But at the same time, he's getting tons of information off you for free. It was so weird spot, man. In any of the way, I ended up just going to the fucking bathroom after like 40 minutes of

like his questions and this. Come on, not that long. I'm telling you it was the longest hand of ever fucking played in poker. And I probably like said some shit. I just wanted the hand to be over. Like I was just like, it was so much fucking money. And I was winning a bunch of money at the time. I think it was up like, I don't even know.

I mean, 518 in front of me, I had to be up. I don't remember. I was up a lot of money. The pot was already, you know, it's size, you know, so it's like I was like, I don't know. Looking back, I should have wanted to fucking get all the money, you know, but sometimes like when it's that much money, you're like, okay, just taking down the pot. I mean just the thought of like the board pairing and him fucking sending an in you know like I don't know It would have been pretty brutal and then I would have lost the biggest hand of my life I mean that would have been a 36 million dollar hand, you know So it's like to go from like winning to like you know

I just I don't know man I guess I was like playing like outside of my comfort zone because you should never really like Play based on emotion. You know what I mean? You just do the right thing. Like in the money, you shouldn't matter. Like in, I think, Nagarani said that the other day, it was like basically, you know, you should play

where it's just chips, you know, and you're playing like in proportion to the blinds. And this and that, it's not like, oh, it's, you know, millions and dollars. And actually, like the time that he fucked me up was when he started betting in things. He was like, oh, I bet a and dollars. And actually, the time that he fucked me up was when he started betting him things. He was like, oh, I bet a Ferrari, and that was 300 grand, or like,

I raised you a Learjet. And so I had to, he wouldn't say, and I was like, okay, well, how much is that? And then he would tell you how much it was, but you can't fucking get it out of your mind, like he's betting a Learjet, you know? And then like, 10 seats are 14. Right, like, no, it was a Ferrari, it was a Bugatti and then a Learjet. That know? And then like, yeah. Ten seats are 14. Right. Like, no, it was, it was, it was a Ferrari.

It was a Bugatti and then a lear jet. That's how he did it. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. That's a lot of money. Yeah. So like when he did it, and then he was also like flexing his girl was there. But like all the other times, I was just like mathematically being, I was just like firing.

I was actually the one putting pressure on him, which is like very counterintuitive to like how you would think a billionaire would play. But he had been playing with Andy Beall and the strategy against Beall was like, okay, I'm gonna lose four million bucks, I'm gonna lose three million bucks, I'm gonna clip the fucking guy for 50 million when he calls me. You know what I mean? When he just has top hair and I have a set and he can't win and I bring home fucking, you know, $50 million win. And so it's like that's how he played Beall and it worked. You know, so for me, it was like, he was okay, losing eight million bucks,

six million bucks, 10 million bucks, you know, thinking that he's just gonna clip me for fucking all the money, one of these times. And which, you know, wasn't like, out of the realm of possibility, you know, like fuck, we're buying it for five million bucks or you know, I got fucking 18 million bucks, like one hand, he could just fucking wipe me out.

And we had some cooler hands, you know, like definitely like spots where if it was like Switch, like I could have just like gone, like the hand fucking, you know, he played, like he folded the second nut flush. You had a King High flush though? You had a fucking King High flush.

I'm not folding to you, sorry. Like I don't even like, like, and only the only guy in the fucking universe that isn't just like trying to figure out how to get the money in the box Of course, I'm like heads up cuz I would have played a jack high flush exactly King high flush the damn buzzer I can't sleep at night. No, I can't do fucking crazy. I love you. I can't do it. I'm not holding king flush

I fucking believe it. I have to show me it was so fucking nuts But it just goes to show like how bad I played the fucking hand But I'm also like one of the reasons why I was just able to fucking run this dude over like you don't Hold that yeah, like you don't fold the second nut flush ever. It's like folding King's preflop So a fucking guy heads up like with 102 people as you just don't ever do it But like ever ever ever especially like with the amount of aggression that I was showing so I Don't know man. That was definitely one that I've lost sleep over for sure Do you still like poker showing. So, I don't know, man. That was definitely one that I've lost sleepover, for sure. Do you still like poker now?

No, I don't. I don't. I got to a point where the wins didn't bring me even close to the amount of happiness that the losses would give me misery. Like, I would get pissed when I lost like small amounts of money, even like the money that was insignificant, just I just get pissed when I lost like small amounts of money, even like the money

that like was insignificant, just I just didn't like to lose and I don't know. Every game that we're playing, we're losing, you know, you're playing for amounts, we're like if you lose in the real world, it's significant money, you know, like in the poker game, it's not that much, but, you know, so I don't know. All right, so Tarzan and you have gone on some amazing trips around the planet. How do you decide what countries, what events, how do you pick the girls, like tell us about the story of

how do you go make your travel plans? I mean, shit. He's like, you wanna go here? Like, yeah, it went in like tomorrow. Fuck it, I'm there. So wait, you know. Yeah, no, he was good because like you want a guy that can do shit with you. You know, like so many times when these trips just surrounded by bitches and it would wait, you know? Yeah, no, he was good because like you want a guy that can do shit with you.

You know, like so many times one of these trips just surrounded by bitches and it's like, it's cool to get high and fuck chicks all day but like, you know, you also want to do cool shit and he was always like pushing to do cool shit. You know, like we dove in the cenotes, you know, we did like cool shit in Thailand or like fucking diving off the yacht.

You know, it was just more fun when there was guys and I noticed that when we brought him out it was like it was like the yacht. You know, it was just more fun when there was guys and I and I noticed that when we brought him out It's like it was like a cool, you know twist of the dynamic and I was a boy's you know boy strips. Yeah, we're fun doing stupid shit. I tell him like yo don't go on there with the cobra He goes in with the cobra Meanwhile, he's like fucking Bob and we even this thing's like striking in his face it's like yeah so is there like any antidote he's like no you die pretty much like the handlers like yeah no you're pretty much instantly dead of a nine-foot cover bite you know he's over there thinking

he's fucking no man he packed you out got bit by the fucking alligator I got y'all got bit he brings this alligator in my house I think it's like somewhat house-trained. The fucking thing bites me in the leg. We were gonna bring a snake today. Let's just like, no. Leave that in the middle. I'm not gonna experience it. Wow, man.

There's too much fun, man. Too much fun. All right, so we've all got to watch Ignite Grove through the social media years from Halloween parties at the mansions, to obviously trips with girls on yachts and private jets Talked to us about the elure like the concept of ignite and why it's the most unique brand there is

You've so basically was like 2017. I had a girlfriend. I just started dating her I think at the end of 16 and I'd been going fucking hard in the paint now honestly. I think like the years from I don't know, 13, 14 to 16 were probably the create, probably like from 13 to 16. Those, that three year period is probably the nuttiest because it was kind of like all new to me. I just fucking won, you know, crazy money and poker. I just started becoming famous. And the pussy was just like coming at me from every direction because I was like,

I was running a poker game, so we had all the poker chicks. There's all the models, I started doing the pool parties in LA, you remember that? You know, fucking 300 girls, you have like 30 dudes there and I bring the masseuses and the fucking, you know, like, champagne, you know, the girls are just basically like having a blast, laying out with the pool, getting the sun, drinking champagne, getting massage shampoo. You know, the girls are just basically having a blast and laying out with the pool, getting the sun,

drinking champagne, getting massage, all this shit, getting the nails done, and the guys are just like hanging out and these girls were, you know, but it's fucking to get drunk and come over and like try and fuck you. You know what I mean? It was like one of these like predatory environments where like the girls, the girls were the predators, you know.

We were just chilling, you know what I'm saying? You got 300 drunk fucking horny girls, and they're just like, you know, the dick was like the scarcity. It was like a very, like we split the fucking script on these girls, you know? Like normally they're at the fucking bar and every fucking dude's like bird dog on them and this and that. And it was just like at least pool parties like they weren't getting any attention.

Nobody was fucking talking to them, you know, and this is like the baddest chick from fucking Maryland or whatever. You know what I mean? She's never been like ignored in her life. So she's got to like go talk to a guy to feel validated. And so it was just like a very different dynamic and started doing that. And like I said, yeah, between that, the poker games

and the social media shit and the traveling and just everything, it was just like fucking mayhem. And I was partying more like, you know, I don't really get fucked up that much anymore. You know, like back then, I was like, you know, we at Kueh Luz were getting fucked up and it was just, like, there was just a botry that would be going on.

And also, this was kind of like before all these girls had social media too. So like, they really wanted to get famous and like, there was no real ways for them to get famous. And also, like, stuff wasn't, you know, I would post like maybe like five% of the shit that would happen. So there wasn't as much being broadcast. There was no IG stories, you know what I'm saying?

So there was like, I wasn't really fucking around with Snapchat much, so there was no, I actually didn't think I had Snapchat back then. So there was like no, like it wasn't being filmed. You know, it was like, so these girls could get as crazy as they wanted to. And we had some of the girls, you know, yeah, it was like so these girls could get as crazy as they wanted to and like We had these like we had some of the girls, you know like fucking I don't know Maybelline Rosie there was like some fucking wild ass girls that would get all the other girls fucking amped up and shit

And it was just a different environment, right? Like there's no cameras nothing going on That the girls just got like fucking crazy and You know also when you're getting fucked up like shit just crazy or shit happens, you know like also when you're getting fucked up, like shit, just crazy or shit happens, you know? Like, as opposed to just like, fuck man, during the night days, I was mostly just like, high all the time. Like I was still getting a ton of pussy, but I was just like, I don't know, you just do crazy or shit when you're fucked up. You know what I mean? You think to do crazy.

Like, I mean, I fucked girls in like a public bathroom. I fucked a girl in a hotel lobby. Like, just shit that you wouldn't do sober. You know what I mean? Like you don't think to you wouldn't do it yeah like it's this fucking you would try things and it was just work you know like I fucking girl out saying a single word to her like I don't know just stuff they just wouldn't try sober he's like just like oh the chick wants to fuck we'll go fuck like but you know when you're fucking draw you're drunk you're fucked up you like oh like what kind of crazy what kind of crazy shit could I do? You don't mean you start pushing the boundaries,

and I don't know, man, it was just, you know, it was fucking wild time. But anyways, like I said, that was the craziest time. And then 2016, I got a girlfriend for like a year, because I do do that for a certain period of time. You need some kind of break, right? So I took a break and I kind of want to get back in it, but I also wanted to like figure out how to do something

with the social media presence that I had. Like everybody was coming up to me, every fucking country, I had no privacy. So I'm like, fuck, man, if I'm taking pictures of my motherfuckers in the park a lot, and fucking five years from now, and I don't have anything to show for, I'm gonna be pissed, right?

If I have all the inconvenience without the upside, the only upside was like, it was easier to get laid, but aside from that, there wasn't any monetary upside, there was just nothing else, I figured like, fuck it, I'll build a brand. And then also, I just like, seemed like there was more of a purpose if you had a brand, like, I don't know, because I was like getting tired of posting on social media.

I like wasn't gonna do it for myself anymore. Like I'd already done it, I was kind of like over it, but I felt like for a brand, I would like lean into it more and I would be more excited about like building a brand than just like posting to show everybody like, oh, I got money and I'm getting pussy like, oh, it's like I'd beat that drum enough. I was fucking dumb with it, you know? Exactly, you know? It was off the fuck.

Yeah, it was off the fuck, it was like, fuck it, man. So anyway, so I started ignite in like 2018 and it's funny, man, because it's like, you know, all these fucking idiot articles come out like oh ignite fund His lifestyle like motherfucker. I was doing that for like fucking seven years before I've been started ignite Yeah, like his like these people are so I play like I bought my jet in 2014 you fucking mallets But anyways, so we started ignite and like 18 and Loan and uh... Yeah, that's a low one.

Oh, fuck it, it's low it. Can we make that a clip? And so... Yeah, it's a mid-junction on the 14th. So, like, 2018 come around and yeah, we started night and uh... I just knew that house in L.A. was the fucking spot. You know, like a sod and I was just like, fuck, this is it. Like, if I'm gonna do it, like, this is the spot to do it. And um... I don't know, man, I didn't wanna... Like, I was this is it like if I'm gonna do it like this is the spot to do it and

I don't know man. I didn't want to like I was like a fucking I'm gonna do it like we're gonna fucking do it So I raised you know, it's like 30 40 million bucks to start and And the funny thing is like all the money that we that I raised all private money was like no fucking shareholder's money It was all like private fucking money from like friends that all knew exactly what the fucking plan was and the plan's fucking worked, you know? And so yeah, we just started throwing fucking crazy parties, got the crazy house and just fucking leaned into it, man. It was a fucking crazy ass ride until COVID hit. And then it was like, man, all our stuff got stuck in China. There was all these restrictions. It was like, man, COVID was a big pivot. We started like, we left the weed space, we went into vapes, which is something I wanted to do like long before, but we finally like got out

of our fucking deal that we have with this, this vape manufacturer that couldn't do in the, it was the whole thing, but anyways, got out of it, pivoted, got out of weed, went to vapes. To Keela vodka. Yeah, to Keela vodka, the spirits. And then I focused on my book. I was locked in a fucking room for a year and a half

doing the book. And then when I finally finished the book, I was like, went on a yacht for like three or four months, spent a couple months in Thailand. Like really just had to just chill the fuck out and go to the girlfriend. And so yeah, I was like, the three years of ignite was just fucking man and party.

And then I got a girlfriend to the books. It was kind of like it's been a roller coaster man. It's almost like predictable. It's like I'll go fucking balls the wall for three years. Then I'll get a girlfriend for like a year and then we'll fucking go back you know going hard in the paint and you know spend the ride. So there's 23 million people that have a question for you. When you have a girlfriend what happens with the other girls? I mean, historically, I've been like pretty much like just my chick. Maybe maybe three Sims here and there, but I don't know.

I mean, I usually get so fucking tired of like dealing with the constant fucking girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, that I just get almost burned out. It's like if you ate Snickers bars every fucking day for three years, you just kind of wouldn't want Snickers for a little while. Then you know after a year of not eating Snickers, you want more fucking Snickers again. You know, I don't know this way I kind of describe it. So fucking hilarious. It's true man. I'm telling you, too much of anything you want to fucking break. Yeah.

All right, so we talked a little bit about ignite a little bit about poker now on the business side You guys went public you guys now have all these different Different product lines how involved are you in ignite like this is something that you're gonna be doing for years Like what's your plan with ignite? Well, you know the vape space to me is like super interesting right right? Because I think there's, first of all, I hate cigarettes. It's always fucking hate cigarettes. I feel like it's the healthiest alternative. Also, you're not affecting anybody else around you, right?

Like, when you vape, like nobody else has to breathe that shit in. If you're in a fucking car with your fucking kids, you're not poisoning their fucking lungs. You still get your nicotine hip, but you don't have all the carcinogens. So to me, it's just like a no brainer for somebody that likes nicotine that doesn't want to fucking dive cancer. So, you know, I feel pretty good about it. I mean, I don't know, and then the spirits, the tequila's fucking great, you know, vodka's good. So it's good products. It's just, you know, been a slow road with the alcohol just because, you know, you got a

disc, I mean, unless you just want to like give away the fucking world to go with a big distributor like Southern and they take a big piece of it or whatever, just want to like give away the fucking world to go the big distributor like Southern and they take a big piece of it or whatever, you know, if you want to do it kind of like the grassroots way like how Tito's did it and then you fucking still own your brand, it just takes time, you know, so we're just putting in the fucking time but really like leaning on the vapes because that's to me, I think the big opportunity we can ship it all all around the world. I mean, that's a bit another big thing is like 83% of my fallings outside the fucking US, right?

So like I'm now able to sell all them. The worth 70 fucking countries, you know, we're able to fucking sell vapes all around the world It's got a good. Oh, is that my food? Thank God Thank you All right So yeah, man just been focused on the vapes a lot really I mean that's kind of the you know the The golden goose to me and I think that's gonna be the future and I Hopefully at some point, you know be able to fucking sell that and I

Don't know spend more time freediving and fucking Thailand Well, you do another company afterwards. I think I'm gonna have to stay with it for a while You know, I don't think I'm just like sell it and leave because I'm just like to yeah, just like to involve so Our babes your number one skew. Yeah sure it's not even close we did like a hundred and something million sales last year in vapes like yeah it's definitely like on equi the best one and it's got the best like margins too yeah I mean and I can sell you way more fucking vapes like if you're the biggest alcohol in the world like how much fucking tequila can be like a week you know I mean like I like you're not gonna drink a bottle a day you could smoke a vapid day how many. You could smoke a vape a day.

How many pulls you got on each vape? So the industry is really moving to the higher puff counts. And so, like the stuff that we're selling is like, I don't know, our big seller's the 1500 initially and now our 5,000 is like, outselling everything. Bam. All right, well, you take some bites of your food. I'm gonna ask Tarzan some questions.

So Tarzan, you got over 200 million views last month. One video last week got 105 million views. I like, it's not like 115 million now. She's just going. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, did you get some of these aliens of views on your social media? Well, I mean, I just think being like I said before, being authentic, you know, I have an eye for animal content too. There was a time in my life where I was just watching nothing but animal content on TV, animal planet discovery, and there was a point in time where it changed. It went from like real good documentation of wild animals and good descriptions until I started

to learn about animals more and then people would post like a Burmese python, but they show a ball python and it would piss me off You know, or they would like have a bald eagle and they would have like a red tail hawk screaming in the background You know, and it was just like I just I kind of stopped wanting to watch TV, you know So when I got in the social media, I was like man when I kind of stopped wanting to watch TV, you know, so when I got in a social media I was like man when I post up I want to post up one first Real raw animal content first And then when I'm also in front of the camera. I want to give people real facts about animals and just be authentic about it

You know and just engage with the audience. So, you know, I can sit there and spuel on about 60 seconds about animal, but you can't give a full description of some species in 60 seconds So in these captions, I'm like, yo go on Google and learn about this animal simple, you know like Google this animal and give me some facts I'll pin the top five comments or I'll comment back or follow back so on and so forth So just trying to figure out new engagement of people get interested in animals And I also think I got a lot of followers because I'm black You know not a lot of black people are in the fucking free diet with sharks and get by snakes You know and just actually being cool about it educating about it

You know having that entertainment also having education, you know, so um Again, I have the eye for certain content like that video just we we just talk about, you know, it's a it's a cast of area, the most dangerous bird on the planet, you know, making its call. And I haven't seen that before online. So I'm like, yo, exactly one of my buddies, I was in Australia and he's like, Cohen down his camera roll and he's, he, I heard somebody go travel, I'm like, yo, show me some cool videos you got. And people start showing me shit And I'm like, yo, air drop me that, you know, and I see it. That's them. He didn't know 30 videos, but that one I Post it Gone it's over what everybody posted. It's a hundred million views 200 million views. Just one video. I'm like

Make you feel good. I think so too. I think so too. I've definitely noticed that. It's funny. I didn't know if he was kind of like, you know, the real deal, it kind of like will pull a shit or whatever. And Tyler, I remember here's like, I'm going to touch one of these fucking water monitors. Like, you know, okay, dude. Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's like six fucking foot long long like faster than a mother like yeah, okay Fucking guy coming back who's got this fucking thing by the tail My come on come on like the snake thing like again it like okay We like we can bake bake that like mother fucker caught a water monitor with his bare hands like in the wild caught a water monitor with his bare hands like in the wild. Like a septic tank. Yeah, no, yeah. I'm a fucking shit tank. Everybody's like, yo, remember you walk into that that sea turtle rescue?

Yeah. We just broke into a sea turtle rescue. The quad history. Yeah. We're like walking around catching lizards and then there's this random building. I'm like, what's over here? We hear the ocean and we walk and we just literally walk through I see turd over here but he's here rehab center and we just like start picking up sea turtles and talking about him just random stuff like that you know right now we're parked at

He tends me at DM. He's like bro. I Don't shoot he says is I don't shoot niggas only bitches, but you I'm gonna shoot you when you come to LA Hit me up So I'm like eating at Roscoz and post Roscoz He's like yo my place is right across the street. That's what I met you do So I went to I was like I'm gonna go meet up with him.

I was gonna leave like, go straight to the airport cause I was leaving. And I was like, yeah, I gotta get Roscoe's for the first time ever. He's like, come over. So he's something, I just was like, yo, you're like, you're like, you're like, I'm literally left in a mile away.

So I went over there, I met with Jay, met you. And Jay's like, he goes, yo, one of my buddies wants some tortoises. I'm like well you're fucking talking to the tortoise guy Like I got what you need, you know, just let me know who you know who it is what he wants. Oh, make it happen So he facetimes Dan Dan was he was somewhere else in the country never my first bothers house. Yeah, yeah, yeah It was yeah, it was it was bro wild. Dan, he got to my face times that you're up towards in, you know, I love tortoises, but we'll blah. I want to, I want some of my yard. I'm like, say less, bro, he goes, when you want it tomorrow, today, you know, they, you know,

Dan, to care, the flight, everything I got over here. And me, my uncle drove to Arizona, went to Home Depot, picked up tortoises in Arizona, drove them back in a minivan, built a little habitat for them in the back, you know, dug a hole. You're just a big, two hundred pound, a lot of tortoises. Six, we pulled the seats out in minivan,

we got buckets from Home Depot, I caught my buddy up, Arizona towards Compound. We got these, bro, massive tortoises. You see, we have big ones at home, his are humongous I mean they've been sitting in this facility. It's like a thousand tortoises there a thousand I was like Bro I need the biggest tortoises my buddy Dan. He's like bro

I'll give you the biggest ones I got. I don't sell them, but take them so We got them we drove them back to Arizona same day turn around Came put them in there and then the cool thing thing about Dan, I hadn't met him yet. So when he first got to the house, you guys don't know this, but he has tortoise statues everywhere, have you seen it? And I'm like, yo, this motherfucker actually likes tortoises. You know?

Yeah, like, you know, his whole ignite logo is the goat. He's the goat, but this guy really loves tortoises. So Dan pulls up later on, like maybe a day or two later. It's my phone comes out with tortoises shorts on. Like, yo, you can't ride this shit in the book. You know, so that's how he met, you know, and this is my first time back here, five years now. Yeah, 2018, we did that. And a more question before he's finishing up this burger. Yeah, so Dan Buzarin calls you and says hey, let's go to foreign country with 16 girls

You get there. How do you keep the girls and then safe from the animals you're interacting with? In a few times You know, that's my number one thing you know going with people in these different countries and doing crazy shit You know, I have to keep everybody safe because at the end of the day someone does get hurt It's gonna be real harder by mental knowing that, you know I'm a professional and I let even though we have to do entertainment and have our fun and you know Fuck up the algorithm and make content I don't want anybody to get hurt, but especially this guy, you know, you tell him Dan Whatever you do don't take the tape off that alligator's mouth, you know, you tell him, Dan, whatever you do, don't take

the tape off that alligator's mouth. You know, Dan says, take a tape off. Don't go in that pit with the cobra. He's fully in taglivenum. Dan hops in the pit, you know, so you got to kind of like reverse psychology, you know, like, yo, go in the pit. He's like, I think I'm gonna stay up. So take a tape off. table. I'm not gonna take a table on, you know. I think they've got wrapped up by one of them burmese. Yeah, bitter. They're bitter wrapped they're up. Very good.

Yeah, it's got lucky, man. It could have been worse. I mean, it's all that big ass, and he's couldn't help himself. So, recently you were with Logan Paul doing that whole prime commercial thing, and him and KSI, and a snake that looked like a bitch in the pants. And then the other video bitch in the arm like, yeah, is that on purpose? Are you protecting it?

Like how do you, how many times you've been bit by a snake? I mean, I started getting bit when I was a kid. So I got my first snake at three, turning four and I begged my parents for it. I was catching outside. It's like, get that snake out the house, throw them away. And going back to Australia, you know, I've been bitten thousands of times, leaving up to thousands of times. It's the point in time where I worked at a reptile facility

in Florida, and I worked in the snake room. And we had about 400 snakes in there, and I had to clean their habitats every day. And they were small snakes, but they would bite me every day. We get imports in like a thousand snakes, and you know, a hundred boxes, or ten boxes of hundred snakes in each box or whatever, and I got to go through it counting snakes.

So snakes are biting me nonstop. So not that I'm immune to it, but it's just like, it's what you expect, you know, it's like a boxer, I heard boxers after they get punched in a lot, they just don't even blink, you know, they're like, it's bitten by venomous snakes like over over and over and over again and then eventually kind of like gets immune to it Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, some guys are just like they build up a tolerance You know has to come a small doses. There's some guys that do it I think I built Haas back in a day from Florida. Oh gee. He's just get bit all the time and just like sweat it out Walk it off. We got it I was just recently in Australia, a couple guys,

they just get bitten, they fucking, you know, drink a beer, sweat it out on the couch, if they make it, they make it, yeah, they're all good. Some guys go in a fucking coma. Some guys die immediately in 30 minutes, it just depends on your immune system. It's like a beast thing, you know, some guys get stung by a bee, they'll swallow the hives, they'll throw,

they'll close up, some guys get stung and they're like, oh, it's just like, like, fuck the B off and they're on the way. You know. All right, Dan, question. Pretty easy. So on your social media, you've shown me before your engagement on your Instagram stories as an example, you have more views than you have followers. Is that because you have people that follow you that aren't allowed to follow you? Because they're not allowed to click follow, but they actually follow you and they actually watch you but they can't actually watch you because the girlfriend of weapon get mad. Yeah, no, a lot of my burgers watching but pretending to not watching. Yeah, I mean, I can see it with a view count looking.

Oh yeah, you know, All right, we got 31 million, 42 million, 46 million, 51 million, 41 million, 50 million, million 50 million and you only have 33 million followers But you know stories are like six to nine six or ten to 51 million look at this I'm a real It's a crazy dog on an account that has 33 million followers Not compared them like I beat up really yeah everybody I'm very crazy, but I guess it makes sense like a lot of those guys are putting out shit condoms So I don't really post it on I feel like even during my peak I wasn't posting like crazy amount. Yeah

If I could better to post less just better stuff Yeah, you go months without posting at times. Fuck man. I won't yeah long time I think people just get like addicted to the attention. Yeah, well, months without posting at times. Fuck man, well, yeah, long time. I think people just get addicted to the attention. Yeah. Well, they just need that don't mean hit every time they pose and get the likes and this and that, but then it's like, fuck man, you get on this treadmill where it's like you just have to constantly

like, you want upping yourself and thinking about condo. You know, because this shit doesn't just happen, you know what I mean? Like, you have to get a camera gas to be shooting it. And a lot of times, we'll do bad ass shit and just get no good shots of what I mean? Like you have to get like a camera guy has to be shooting it. And like a lot of times we'll do badass shit just get no good shots of it. Cause just cause you do something fucking cool with hot chicks doesn't mean you're gonna get a

usable shot, you know. Some people replicate you or try to be you and they don't get anywhere near the engagement obviously. Well, but a lot of like they're doing like setup shots, right? So they'll be like, oh let's get a bunch of girls and let's get a photo. And it's like it just never works the same as when you just do it and just Happen to get a picture or they're just shooting it and you know you get a shot because like if you set up a shot

Girls are looking at the camera. It's just pose. It just doesn't like yeah Like the internet just sees Yeah, and so I mean fuck he's been on vacations like I'm fucking the girls. You know what I mean like we're party and it's like It's real. It's not like we're going down there for a goddamn photo shoot, you know like so I don't know I mean it was just you know authentically captured fucking crazyness I mean that's what happened when you put a bunch of fucking hot chicks and there's not fucking any dudes around You know like you're gonna get laid. It's like oh, no, I mean We went to badass places. We got the biggest yachts the fucking coolest bill is like we're doing shit on a level that

I don't know like you couldn't really like one up So I feel like after COVID I kind of like I'd do a spot to where I was like fuck man I'd just done everything I'd done everything on like such a high level that was kind of like Fuck where do we go, you know, and so you ever become numb to it? Yeah, I just started going on like more couples trips and like We're doing more yachts. We're doing more like trips to Thailand. She like. And it was funny man, I was on a trip to Thailand and I had three girls with me. And I just felt like I was like obligated to fuck these girls like each day and if I didn't like want to get upset, you know what I mean? Like it was like I was like fuck I just don't want to do

this. Like I want to work out, I want to fucking freed up, I want to hang with my friends, I want to get high, you know, I want to have a chick to bang if I want to bang but like I don't want to have to feel like I have to fuck three times a day. You know what I mean? Like and I just didn't want to hang with my friends, I want to get high. You know, I want to have a chick to bang if I want to bang, but like, I don't want to have to feel like I have to fuck three times a day every, you know what I mean? Like, and I just didn't want to deal this. I set the two girls home and I was with the one. And like, you know, she was, she was cool, but, you know, she wasn't like some fucking rock star or anything,

but I just had way more fun just being with one chick and hanging out with my buddies. And, you know, I don't know. It just taught me a lesson that I'd already fucking learn because I wrote about in the goddamn book, which was that I would rather spend time with my friends doing shit I want to do than just surrounded by a bunch of fucking girls all the time.

But I was like a sex addict, man. And so like, it's hard to like kick addictions. And I was like addicted to the dopamine of having sex of doing all this shit, gambling similar. Like a lot of these things that I was like addicted to the dopamine of having sex, of doing all this shit gambling similar. Like a lot of these things that I was doing were fucking dopamine hit things. Yeah, exactly. Pleasure spikes over and over and over again.

It's like, I talk about this. You keep blasting the pleasure spike, and eventually you have to do more to get the same hit. And then eventually you have to just do it to not feel like shit because you're numb to it. And that's where I get. Like at the end of this three year, fucking runs, like I you have to just do it to not feel like shit because you're numb to it. And that's where I get like at the end of this three year fucking runs like I was numb to all of it. You know, and I just like I didn't care like it's, I don't know, I just felt like I had to fuck like two, three girls a day to not feel like a fucking

you know, like I was like being a fucking loser. You know, it's like, come on man. Like it's a fucking pussy today. What are you doing? And I don't know, it's like that was like, I don't know, it's something about like having sex with a hot girl like always gives you something like you know eventually Don't feel much, but you feel a little bit um And so yeah, I just get in these cycles where I would just be getting high and having sex all the time And it just wasn't nearly as fun as going out Do a movie tie free dive and lifting waste your buddies hanging out, you know doing shit like that be on your

It's going to different places. So I don't know, I just kicked the circus and every now and then I'd need it, fucking kind of like, I had a little bit of a low, I just think it was more. Yeah, exactly, I feel like a sicker's bar, but not like three years straight of it,

balls the wall, it're so fucking lot. So on the turning point, when you mentioned like 2015, 16, 17, 18, you start to get really famous, like can't walk down the street famous in security guards. How did you deal with people like understanding who was your friends, who was trying to use you or ignite other people around you? Like when did it kick in, you're like,

wow, I really gotta like protect my circle. Well, I've never really had like a ton of like people that I I really got to like protect my circle. Well, I've never really had like a ton of like people that I consider friends at a lot of acquaintances. And usually I had a handle that was like in LA, if somebody couldn't do something for me, then I just wouldn't hang out. And it was very like kind of like, how do you call that? Yeah, transaction relationship. Yeah, whereas like, I know they're like coming to me

because I have good parties and I'm around a bunch of chicks or whatever. So it's like, if they're not offering me value, I don't even want to fucking like hear them out. And so I would have my friends that I had from like a long time ago or people that I do shit with and then, you know, other celebrities who also had fame and money and didn't need shit for me.

So you just hang with people that like, either didn't need stuff from you or can provide value and then you didn't mind them, you know, having a transactional relationship. I just assume that everybody in LA was like, you know, coming here with their fucking hand out because both so more or so.

I hated LA. I was happy to get the fuck out of there. I'd never really like made any like, real great friendships there. I mean, I have a lot of acquaintances and people that I respect and a lot of celebrities that I'm cool with, but not people that I'm super tight with that I have history with.

So why'd you spend so much time, energy, and effort on the book? You said you're in a half on that book. Why'd you die of so deep into that? Yeah, it was really a disproportionate amount of effort. I just wanted to do it right. And I'm one of those people who are like, if I'm going to do something, like I really want to fucking

do it right. And I wanted to tell the story. And it's fucking man, every fucking time I finished an edit. I really thought that I was done. Or I thought that, yeah, I was just like close. And I just wasn't. And so 37 edits later, I that, yeah, I was just like close and I just wasn't. And so 37 edits later, I finally like came up with something and it was just funny because like people were like,

yeah, you know, I'd be like, okay, I'm finally, because I've finished and added and be like, okay, I'm finally fucking done. And then I would like reread the edit and then I'd find things to start tweaking with and start tinkering with it and fucking around. And sometimes I'd do it when I was a little bit tired and I'd make it worse and then I'd go back and just like, this whole like mind numbing process.

But the good, the good thing of it was the upshot was that it forced me to kind of like look at my life and look at it objectively like things that made me happy, things that didn't make me happy. And I guess like unless you write a book or do mushrooms or fucking acid or something, you don't really spend that much. I mean, maybe if you're like, with a therapist or something, but I don't have a fucking therapist, you don't really spend a lot of time like reflecting back. You're so focused on like moving forward and you know, doing this or your business or some chick you want to fuck or like some place

you want to go or like whatever it is like the future captivates your attention much more than the past and so the book was kind of like just forced me to look at the past and I think that's beneficial I think it's helpful like if you don't learn from your mistakes then you know you're bound to repeat them right so I think it was probably one of the better things that I did for my fucking soul. But it just took a lot of time because I wanted to get it right.

That's the fucking short answer of it. So speaking of your soul, the concept of the money Monday's is we talked about how to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. You have done a lot of charity things, but you never talked about it, you never post about it. One of the things was really interesting.

The one time you did post was you were saying, I'm going to give about $10,000 to 10 different families by submitting your story. I don't remember the number. It was some ridiculous 200,000 comments or something insane of people tagging and putting their stories in and you went and donated way more than the 10K each, the 100,000 you promised. You donate way more. I'm not going to say the number because you never talk about it. But like you do charity in the background is

it something that's passionate to you and why don't you ever like to talk about it? I just feel like it takes away from it like we can do something fucking do it you don't have to calibrate your fucking do it I mean like I don't have a lot of friends like like find a charity or then try and get all their friends to give them money to do it. I was like, no, I don't know, just doing myself or call buddy and be like, hey, I'm going to put a hundred thousand in this. You want to match it and then be like, sure, and then we'd do it and wouldn't tell anybody. Feels better like that. Like, I don't know.

I just think of cheapens it like by broadcasting it. Now, I feel like there's so many people that do it to be seen doing it. And I guess like the reason that I do it is just as selfish as that. I mean, I do it because it makes me feel good. Sure. Not necessarily, I mean, like, yeah, I want to help people, but it makes me feel good to see that person like being happy. Like I've given a bunch of money to like charity organizations,

and I'll get nearly as much happiness out of that. It's like giving it directly to the person. So I think where I kind of like moved to was like directly giving it to the people, like handing them fucking cash or you know, wiring it directly to them or spending time with the kids or taking the kids out, shooting machine guns

and fucking blowing up dynamite and fucking off road racing and surfing and she liked that, you know? Yeah. So. The other reason for the money Monday says we all grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. You're the most blunt friend that I have because you're very blunt about talking about relationships, sex, business, money,

and everything between. Why do you think people are scared to talk about money? Why do you think it's rude to talk about money? Because they don't fucking have any. I was like so many people like, actually you get all this fucking money, but they don't, I don't know. Like, I feel like a lot of it is just like facade of, but they don't. I don't know. I feel like a lot of it is just facade of bullshit.

I mean, I don't know. Money is a tool. I mean, that's what it is, a fucking tool. And so, you should be shy about it. Like, if you have it, fucking spend it. You know, a lot of people have a bunch of money and they don't use it to improve their life. Like, I've always been good about like using my money to improve my life. Like, I got a bunch of fucking chefs.

I have a bunch of assistants, I have fucking pilots, I got a plane, like I got shit, you know, like people do stuff. Like if I need something done, like shit gets done. Like I haven't gotten groceries in fucking 10 years. Like I don't know, like I just don't waste time doing stuff that I don't wanna do. Like if I wanna go play paintball, I have a paintball, fucking tournament paintball

feeling my backyard, it'll be set up, I'll fucking eight referees, all the guns will be fucking lined up and walk out, we play and we fucking leave, you know, we don't watch the uniforms, I don't fucking go buy paint, we don't do any of that shit, we show up, we fucking play and we leave. And so it's like, use money as a tool, like save fucking time. And my dad taught me this when I was younger, like figure out what your time is worth. Like my dad, when I was fucking young, it's time was he was making $10,000 an hour. So my mom, like, you know, she was giving me shit about not making my bed. I was like young is time was he was making $10,000 an hour so my mom like

You know she's giving me shit about not making my bed. I was like well dad doesn't make his bed And you know my mom's like well, you know honey Why don't you make your bed and be a good example and my dad was like snap back It's like I made $10,000 an hour. I pay me $25 an hour to clean this fucking house You want me to pay 9,000 you know $975 to go show him how to make a bed? No, I'm not gonna do that You know, it's like this is a wrong answer Probably you know for a fucking kid, but it was funny because like it does like teach you like time value money It's like what is your time worth and it's like if you're making $10,000 an hour You should just never do anything you know that you don't want to do unless you're making over $10,000 an hour

You shouldn't fucking change your tires and change your fucking, you know, oil. You shouldn't mow your fucking lawn. Like, unless you enjoy doing that, it brings you satisfaction, then sure fucking go do it. But like, just, I don't know, just spend the time with your family, spend the time traveling, spend the time working out, spend the time bettering yourself,

like, you know, teaching your kids something. I don't know, whatever the fuck it is that you want to do, other than, like, I don't know, I don't derive any pleasure at a mowing a fucking lawn, or like, washing clothes or making a bed. Like, I don't know, like, derive any pleasure at a moment of fucking lawn or like Washing clothes or making a bed like I don't know like I just don't want to fucking do that So I don't do it and it's to me. It's a big waste of time like but if you don't make much money then fucking do it like I don't know you know, it's just like

It seems simple to me outsource and another thing is like people just always want to like all dude job then I'm passionate about and I want to do something that I like it's like Just fucking make the most amount of money the least amount of time possible and spend your time doing what the fuck you want to do Like I didn't give a shit about like what I was doing. I would have fucking Shuffled shit if it paid enough money like I think care like I like a job is not about fucking having fun Like if you can find a job that you enjoy like great that, that's off to you, but chances are there's a job that you'll make more money in less fucking time doing it. And I think I like live so many lifetimes

because I haven't fucking done a nine to five. Like if you look at how much fucking time a nine to five job waste if you calculate in, like transit going to and from work and those are all hours, you're most of the fucking population is doing some shit that they don't wanna do. I mean, even if it's something they like to do, like let all hours you're most of the fucking population is doing some shit They don't want to do I mean even if it's something like to do like let's say you're really into scuba diving And so you decide to be a fucking scuba instructor eventually you're gonna get tired of teaching people how to fucking put on a rig

Do the same thing over and over and over and over again. It's gonna be fun for maybe like a month or two months or maybe a fucking year But eventually you're gonna get of doing the same goddamn thing over and over and over and over again. And so, to me, it's like, if you're gonna be doing something that you don't wanna do, just make sure you're making the most amount of fucking money doing it. Make sure it's something you can scale. Make sure it's something that like eventually

you have like a long-term exit, or you can franchise the business, or you can pay somebody else to run it, you know, whatever, but there's like an exit, you know, like so many people get like caught up in these jobs where they can't ever fucking leave and they're never gonna have a home run, they're never gonna have, you know,

success to the point where it gives them freedom. And you know, life's not about fucking money. Like the most things that I like to do don't require fucking money. Like I don't need a shitload of money to be happy. I know that for a fucking fact. And in fact, like some of the miserable as times in my life were when I had the fucking most money. And sometimes when I fucking were the happiest was the time when I'd leased

them on money. So like it is absolutely not correlated to happiness. What it is correlated to is freedom. And the ability to do what the fuck you want to do, not listen to anybody's bullshit. And like during this COVID scam, like there's a perfect example. I never were a fucking mass, but but maybe three times. Like, you have to wear a mask of travel. It's like, I want a jet motherfucker. I don't wear a fucking mask on my fucking plane. Suck my dick.

And I didn't fucking do all this bullshit. I was not running around like a fucking sheep observing all these stupid fucking rules that were just complete fucking waste of time now that we look back. So I don't know, man, it was nice for me like I was on a fucking yacht for three months like I was fucking traveling the world everybody else was locked in their fucking basement I was working out every mother fucking day I had an outdoor gym I was getting the sun every day I was healthy as a fucking horse never got sick like but that's because I had money like if I didn't have money and I lived in fucking New York I'd probably have been fucking pretty miserable during that time you know like fucking Like fucking, I don't know, man.

So I guess at the end of the day, like it's nice, it's not like a something that you have to have. Like figure out shit that you like to do. Like I said, most of the stuff I like to do doesn't require fucking money. The reason I like money is because it allows me to tell people to fuck off.

Right. And that's the biggest thing for me is not having to listen to other people's fucking bullshit. Since I was a little kid, I never want to to other people's fucking bullshit since I was a little kid I never want to listen to people's fucking shit I think one of the best most defining moments of my life When I told my professor you'll fuck himself and I left class I was like maybe the highlight of my entire fucking life not fucking ten models

Not any of that shit, but telling him to get fucked because I made $400,000 that month playing poker And I was not in the mood to hear his shit and I fucking told him that I said motherfucker I made more money last week You know making the next three fucking years so you talked to me to some fucking respect and we had it out like and I was fucking right and The thing that he said to me Fucking said to me that really stuck out was off your so fucking rich What are you doing in college? And you know I thought about it for like six fucking seconds

I was like you know a dipshit that about it for like six fucking seconds. I was like, you know what, dipshit, that's the first intelligent thing you've said all fucking semester. It's like, fuck you, I'm out of here. And I walked out, I'm fucking crazy. And I never fucking forget the ride home. I was so fucking happy. I was like, I don't have to listen to this dumb fuck shit anymore. I'm gonna show up to this fucking school.

I'm to listen to these motherfuckers. I can go wherever the fuck I want to go. And nobody can tell me what to do. And that was like a fucking defining moment. That was when I was like, in my 20s, man, that was like 27. You know, as a fucking millionaire and I made the fucking money myself

and I was stoked that I'm gonna listen to anybody's shit and I was very fucking happy, I'll never forget it. All right, well I can talk to you for hours and hours, and hours, obviously. One final question, we like to keep these episodes to 40 minutes, so it's easy. The reason it's 40 minutes, by the way, is because the average workout is 45 minutes, and the average commute is 45 minutes. So we do ours for 40 minutes.

So Dan Balsarian, last question, it's 2023. People are seeing a lot of crap in the media. They're worried about recessions. They're worried about fake COVID, and all these different things between them. What can people do to stay calm in the chaos? Ice baths work out, like get sun every day. Just the basic shit, honestly, like it isn't anything crazy.

Like if you work out five, six days a week, do ice baths when you wake up in the morning before you go to bed, get sun every day, like you will be significantly happier and none of that shit costs anything. You know, anybody can fucking do that. So, amen. Ladies and gentlemen, you've just watched
