So is this our Thanksgiving episode? This is our Thanksgiving episode. It's actually the day after Thanksgiving Ben. Have you? we just I'm sitting here in my sweater at a lovely Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah. Thanksgiving was great for me. Oh, it's so much stuffing So much stuffing. I'm stuffed. I'm stuffed like a turkey. Do you want to hear my turkey impression? Please? Turkey impression, please. Thanks for that. That's what Turkey sounds like. Turkey goes gobble gobble. We hope you guys are locked in your room

away from your family to watch this. Do you have a bad Thanksgiving story? Do you have a bad Thanksgiving story? Yeah, like something something happened One time Grandma grandma slip and fell got pirate face None No, not really damn. I remember I'll just like hmm. I

Just remember getting drunk one time when I was, was I underage? I think I was, I think I was 20. And I kept going into the garage fridge to knock back beers. I hit a drunk like four and I was drunk and it was great. But I held it my own well because I always do. It was just the same and just it was awesome. That was your bad Thanksgiving story?

No, that was the best Thanksgiving of my life. It peaked there and then it just went downhill from there. People died. But you asked me for, oh, most of them were bad. No, it's just, I mean, on the note of them being bad, I thought of that one being good, a good memory. Otherwise, the memories are pretty positive. One time my cousin bragged about buying a gun with a lawsuit settlement that he just got,

and I thought, cool dude, good use of that five grand you just got. I mean, five grand, what else he can do? I think it was 20, but he put five grand toward a gun. By four guns. He could have, maybe he did. Now that's real bragging. Yeah. You tell me you got one gun I say,

Bryce shut up. David. David shut up. Yeah. Talk to me when you got four guns. I think he bought two actually. Hell yeah, Jesus Christ. David. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I

Was back to the beat man when I get done with you We could solve this! We could have 100,000! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Speaking of David, speaking of guns, Steve Sletz, where are you at? Oh wow, I thought you were going to go into our merch. No, I was going to say disclaimer, check the disclaimer. But also speaking of guns. What about them? We have a special Black Friday deal for all of my frickin' trillionaire mindset. Head.

People. People. Oh yeah, that's right, we got this, check this thing out. This is the overlay. The pink, it's right. We got this, check this thing out. This is the overlay. The pink, it's a pink oversized shirt with handwritten notes. That is, when you buy the shirt, there are a limited run.

You're gonna get a handwritten note from one of us, depending on which one gets sorted and the thing. Do you think that some people will really hope that I send it in some way? Absolutely. I think everybody will hope that you send it and some people really hope that you send it? I think everybody will hope that you send it. No, I think it was the point when they see me being like,

I love you so much, but thank you so much for the buying this. I think we have, I think there are Ben heads in a meal heads. I think there, I think each one has a smaller head for the other. So there are a meal heads and they've got a smaller head that's been. Oh yeah, they like it. And vice versa. Yeah, of course. But I think people are going to be like, I'm going to buy that pink shirt. And if I, if if a meal sends me a fucking note, I'm going to return it. I think the difference between you and I is that you get probably beautiful

women sliding into your DMs asking you to fuck them or take them on dates or whatever. Something like that. And I get young men asking for credit card advice. I get young men too being mean to me. Well that's just as good as the, that's just as good. It beats, look no matter what, I lose. The young men being like, hey it's my first credit card of 19. What do you think I should get? And I'm like, god damn it and I respond.

I'm like, get a discover card. It's probably the best one because they'll give anybody a credit card. Or it's like, yeah, it's, hey I'm going in New York for the first time. Hmm, what restaurant do you recommend? I'm like, fuck. You know, try, try this pizza place.

Oh man. Hey, what's the difference between mutual funds and hedge funds? Those are nice. Fuck. Yeah, but... If a young man messages me, he's like, fuck you. Yeah, he's like, you're not, you're not so great. Yeah.

I have to go, okay. Well, to all the Ben heads out there, we're building an army, all right? We're gonna build an army of in cells. I don't know why he said that. You're not all in cells, neither am I. So all the amyel heads keep it up. I'm not so great.

I deserve it. Yeah, well, I get a lot of nice things too. I do want to be clear. I complain a lot about the negativity online, but it's like 1%, 99% of you are the sweetest people in the world and I do appreciate it. Anyway, all that's to say, the pink oversized shirt will come with a handwritten note.

From one of us. From one of us. Roll the dice. And guess what? If that's not for you, if that's not your cup of tea, then we've also got these white shirts. Boree! And gray sweatshirts.

Boree! Available with the same design, the guns don't people, people people people and those won't come from Those won't come with a note from either of us. No, those won't come from that. Yeah, you know what kind of fucked up shit I'm gonna write in that note. Yeah, hey, you know what in the spirit of Thanksgiving I thought we could talk about what we're thankful for but before I do that before we do that I just thought I would talk about what I'm not thankful for and you know what I'm not thankful for it. But before I do that, before we do that, I just thought I would talk about what I'm not thankful for. And you know what I'm not thankful for?

The people not getting us to 50,000 subscribers so that I can kiss my guy here because. Oh, yeah, you got to tell December 31st, that is the dead. I don't know what is going on. And if we don't hit that, then we're just going to have to ratchet it up and jerk each other off when we hit 50k the next time Which will be arguably cooler Don't maybe don't tell anybody Yeah, but we're not gonna do it. So you gotta get us to 50k We're not gonna create an account on one of the various porn websites We're not gonna do that and we are not going to porn websites, we're not gonna do that. And we are not going to...

But seriously, I've been like, Tom Brady's son with the Carmex over here, just waiting, so you gotta get this thing going. You use Carmex? No, I use Burtspees. Burtspees is ineffective. Yeah, I said it. Guess what, I'm a Blistex guy.

I'm a Blistex bitch till I die. Everybody who's a bitch, that was kind of a cool rap. I'm a Blistex guy. I'm a blistex bitch till I die. Everybody who's a blistex. That was kind of a cool rap. I'm a blistex bitch till I die. My lips is addicted. Yours are afflicted. We got parts B's. Get down on your knee. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, man. Chap lips. He's got more. Chap lips. Chap lips. Give me tips. No, chap lips.

Fuck. Give me tips. Chap lips, give you tips. No, give me tips. Like I'm working in a restaurant. Okay. In your ass, I will hunt. Yeah. Yeah'm sorry.

Are you done? I don't know. Maybe. Blistex bits till I die. Stick a fucking eye. Alright, alright, alright. Alright, so this is the mailback episode. You didn't even say what you're thankful for.

Oh yeah, I'm thankful for, you know, having all my extremities, full feeling in my body still, and oh god. Oh yeah, I gotta make it. Must be a hoot at Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, I guess. No, no, I'm thankful for having this show and being able to do it.

And... Haven't my health, because that's a big deal. That's a big deal. I know some people who have a health struggle, which reminds me, I need to, I just turned off my phone. I need to remind myself to go to a neurologist. I think, well, you got like five reminders in this room. Yeah, can someone remind me to remind myself,

so you see, how the fuck am I gonna do that? How am I gonna see a neurologist with health insurance the way that it is? What do I do? We'll get you there. Oh God. They just up my premiums per month. I'm not grateful for that. What are you thankful for?

Sweater boy. I'm thankful for the show. I'm thankful for my cozy sweaters. I'm thankful for the cool weather in LA right now. You know I love my cozy clothes. I'm thankful for Ben, my sweet host. I'm thankful for my cozy sweaters. I'm thankful for the cool weather in LA right now. You know I love my cozy clothes. I'm thankful for Ben, my sweet host. I'm thankful for my whole family. I love him, my mother, my father, my brother.

I'm thankful for the whole goddamn state of New Jersey. That's it. All right, so good answer, good answer, buddy. That's a good list. So for those of you who are already going to be bitching in the comments, this one financial episode, guess what? It's a holiday week bitch.

There's hardly anything going on. It's Thanksgiving. Everybody's on vacation. The volume is low. There's hardly any trading going on. It's just like, oh, you know, there's going to be huge news. And we're going to look like jackass. These guys, what do I care?

What do I care when you guys talking about giving these to answering these questions? No, see, this is the problem. We focus on the negative. There's everyone loved the last one. There was like probably one guy who probably is in my DM saying mean things to me. Yeah.

Who said, oh, I don't like it. And then everyone else was like, this was so lovely. I know, so that's what I was gonna get to. So this is for all of the lovely things. I'm just giving the heads up that that's what this episode is, and we love to do it, and suck my ass to the people who don't care. I actually don't suck my ass, you know,

just if it's not for you, that's fine. You don't need to let us know, because we know it's not. So I guess we just can't get right into it. I'll tell you what, speaking of guys who are in my DMs We were they were showing us the the questions that people asked yeah, remember there was a couple There was one where a guy was just like telemeli socks or whatever I was like okay telling you that he sucks. No, tell me all that he sucks. Oh, okay, and so thank you, sir

Message received Damn, I don't even think man. I probably didn't get one this time. That's cool. You didn't get a bent up? That means that I don't suck. All right, so question number one. Question number one comes from Will Dennis. He asks, favorite presidential death.

Great question. Great question. I'll let you kick it off. You go. Do you have one? I wish that I had googled this in advance to see if anybody died in an embarrassing way by like shitting or you know dying publicly. We know famously one or two that did that. I don't want to say my favorite presidential death was this because it's not but my favorite president dying slowly was George Bush senior.

Because you know what I mean though, we've shared I've showed you the video with him holding up the baseball that the baseball game with the smashing pumpkin song but yeah that that was a pretty funny that that's my favorite. I'm not going say why I even though I just kind of slipped it out But that one's up there and otherwise favorite presidential death would have to be Uh-huh You're mind immediately goes to assassinations. It does go to assassinations because otherwise I don't know how the fuck these people died. I feel like I have you know by default. It's got to be like JFK because it's It's famous and I like read about it so much and consume so much in my mind, but also

You would have voted for him. So you would have been I feel like those people I feel like William McKinley's a good one It's like he got a you know William McKinley's a good one. It's like, he got, you know, William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist who lost his job in the economic downturn. And I'm like, you know, bring that back. Let's get like an anarchist, just marking presidents because they're, yeah. Well, we just got this one pulled up. Zachary Taylor in 1850, the famous fucking president that nobody, like, who knows about this guy? So he attended the summertime event, dressed in a black suit, buttoned all the way up to the

neck, and surprisingly he got overheated and he tried to cool down by drinking a ton of ice cold milk. And then a bunch of cherries. It's unclear exactly how milk and cherries killed Taylor. It was either the bacteria present in prepasturization, erudary products or... Gastroenteritis brought on by the acidic cherry. So I wouldn't like to change that one.

That one's pretty amazing. Exactly, Taylor. The president who was so hot, he drank milk. They're actually dying. I think there are a ton of presidents who just like, beef didn't weird ways because they like, they're like, I ate something that didn't agree with me. Yeah, that's, man, I really like that.

But I still think I prefer an anarchist shooting a president. Oh, Zach Pionna. Oh, this one's from TMG Studios. What would we call them? Sister podcast. Yes sister podcast does Emil tip post Zach Piona does Emil know he's attractive Or is he surprised by it also if you don't know he I think every time we do an episode He I think it's him and not while 80 screenshots picture of me and Posted to their Twitter just says thinking about him

Well, do you want to answer the question dude? Oh You don't have to I can answer it for you. What would you say he knows? You know I Think I'm surprised by the some of the comments and the DMs. There you go. I would say. There you go, Zach, there's your answer. I never was like, oh, I'm a fucking,

aug mug. Yeah, well that's good. But I was also ugly duckling a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I would disagree. I've seen pictures of you when you're younger. You look like Andy Sandberg mixed his come But I was also ugly duckling a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I would disagree. I've seen pictures of you when you were younger. You look like Andy Sandberg mixed his come with Adam Sandler.

No. Those are two not like super hot dudes, but yeah, they're good looking dudes. All right, sure. All right. Number three, Blake Michael Katz asks, what gets you motivated every day? I struggled to find motivation for anything. If I had to guess, this guy is like between the ages of 18 and 24,

because buddy, I hear ya. Emil, what gets you motivated every day? That's me, motor, the gym. Honestly. Yeah, I, I mean staying active helps me you know be motivated and everything it helps to like Sure does not fucking it helps the urge to not just like get on the couch Everything sucks like why would you want to get up and go do anything go outside? Nothing good's gonna happen out there, but That's not true things do think I know but sometimes it feels that way like I could just like I could just lay here and it's He's right here, and I don't want to be

anywhere else, but Yeah, I don't know having things you like and wanting to get better at things. Yeah, and a thirst for knowledge Keeps me motivated For me what gets me motivated every day? I like to... I also like to go to the gym. It's nice, especially climbing. You get that challenge and constantly breaking the ceiling. Having hobbies is a good motivator. I need to rediscover some of my lost hobbies because I feel like I am lacking in some motivation. Work for me is motivational.

I do like to get up every day and do the trading, even if I've had a garbage day before, which I have had plenty of and I'll get to touch on that with later questions. But if you struggle to find motivation for everything, if you say going to the gym, it's like, but how do you find the motivation to do it? I'm gonna take a guess that you are probably

like most of us on social media a lot, and with that comes the comparing and despairing, where it kills your motivation simply by seeing what other people do do and it feels impossible to even get started with anything because why bother? Because these people are already so far ahead of me and they're already doing all that, all that, all that, all that. Well, and it's, you can sit home and get cheap dopamine on social media.

That's exactly right. Or you can go get actual real rewards. It's up to us. You can go to the gym. You can go, you can pick up a new hobby. You can get better at things. You can better yourself. So you gotta wanna do it.

Yeah. Honestly, when you're younger, it is kind of hard to get into that mindset. I think as I've gotten older, I really do wanna, I'm like, every day, I'm like, you're wasting your time, man. I wanna improve, I wanna get better at stuff. It's the kind of the opposite for me.

I, when I was younger, I found it easier to get motivated to do stuff. Partly because I think social media was less prevalent in my life and smart phones had, my phones had not advanced in such a way that they're just always on and in your fucking pocket and easy to access. So when I say it's up to us, it is up to us to regulate ourselves and our addiction to these things because they bad. They do be bad.

They do be bad. It do be that way. And the more that it do, the more that it be. These things are undeniably true. Couldn't have said it. Worse myself. So Blake Michael Katz, you gotta dig deep dig deep man and take one little step at a time and find just poking pride.

And I like to say that when you take care of your physical body, the mental part tends to follow. If you're taking good care of your physical body, you're getting well rested, you're eating right. I will say every time we do this, there are a lot of sad people. No. People say can a meal drop his workout routine? Oh yeah.

Isn't that one we were gonna get to? Oh, I don't know. But I'll just say, it's very simple. It's body dysmorphia. That's what keeps you going. Oh man. Every day. I was gonna say, I can tell you what it is.

I look in the mirror and I go, you are fucking disgusting. Jesus Christ. The man alternates between body weight exercises one week and then weight, like dumbbell exercises the following week. That's it. Pull up, push ups and then, you know. Pull up, push ups, dips, leg body weight exercises and then if know pull up push ups dips leg body weight

Exercises and then if you're gonna do stuff with weights if you want Isolate the muscle do exercises that lock it in its room punish it isolate the muscle isolate the muscle There's all the all the that's how you create in cell muscles all the exercises They're out there, you know, you wanna get bigger buys, do all kinds of curls. Hammer curls, you wanna get bigger buys? Kiss more guys. You wanna do, you wanna get your tries up?

Do the fucking dips, do the fucking hammer backs, whatever the fuck they're doing. Oh, I'll give you the best. The best try. Do you get on the fucking machine with the two strings? Fucking tricep pull downs. Nah man. It's all there. The best, as someone who just grew their triceps tremendously,

the best tricep exercise is you get on that incline bench and you get a couple of weights and you drop them back as far as your arms will go and then you just pull them up like that. Oh man, baby, that shit burns. Ben says that works, I don't do that, that one working for him that one works. Oh, I want to fucking Get your chest up fucking bench, dude incline decline regular bench Next one Dustin Dustin your face

What were your dream jobs slash careers when you were younger? Well Dustin? What were your dream jobs slash careers when you were younger? Well, Dustin. When I was a kid, I used to put on cassette tapes of Elvis Presley and dance around and fucking sing into a tennis racket because I wanted to be a damn musician rock star, just like Elvis. And then I would eventually pick up guitar and bass and drums and piano and, you know, record some music and then I just kind of fell apart a little bit but I wanted to do that. I wanted to make music. I also wanted to do something in comedy slash acting slash writing but I felt too embarrassed

and ashamed to admit that so I never quite fully pursued it as heartily as I should have. There's your answer. Yeah, it's a dream, like comedy was a big one for me. Also, as I got older but was still a young man and honestly, kind of still feel this way. I think the coolest job out there, a dream job, is music supervisor. Really?

Damn. The guy who gets to, you know, put the music into the movies and pick. I know several music supervisors. It's a funny job. Like I know a couple and literally, you know, one of them I know who got started and just their friend was a writer director

and they were like, can you just do the music on our movies? You know, you got all the good music. And then from there they got jobs and now they... Do it in so many things, but you have to have... You know, it's so fun, you got to really like... You got to listen to a lot of music. Yeah, I mean, think about all the times you watch a movie and you're like every time.

What is this fucking song? It rocks. These people know shit, you don't even know, man. That's true. The deepest of cuts. Anywho, Chris Six asks, what is a good amount of money to start trading? That's a great question. I would say, I mean, if you're,

if you want to trade as a, as a, to actually make serious money, you would need at least, well, if you really want to be an active trader, you need at least 25 grand because of the pattern day trade rule, which dictates that you need at least $25,000 to be able to do as many trades as you like. If you have under $25,000, if you are below that threshold, you are limited to three round trip trades

in a rolling five day period. If you're confused by that, just Google Pattern Day Trade Rule. But you can become a trader with significantly less and the way you do that is to do what I do as a prop trader where you get licensed, which takes just a few months of study, and then you deposit whatever amount of money you've got with the prop firm, and then they leverage it for you.

And you, so you can say you had $5,000, you could trade with, you know, $50,000 or $ 50,000 or 100,000. They would give you that buying power with that small amount of money. And the firm that I trade at is called T3. So if you're interested in doing that, you can shoot me a DM and I will set something up. She would I can do. All right, that's that question. And the amount I would say is all of it.

Risk it all, you pussy. Just do it, whatever you have. Yeah, put it all into my Venmo account. Yeah, that's how you trade. Alright, we've got another one here from Emma Governe. How to navigate life after college, not knowing what to do with your life. Love y'all both.

That's not a question. Emma Governe, so first I would say. Saying, how do I figure out what to do with my life? How do you know it's a woman? Emma Governe gives you nothing. and McGuvern, so first I would say, how do I figure out what to do with my life? How do you know it's a woman? M McGuvern gives you nothing. Just in my mind, that's a lady. All right, so how do you navigate life after college slash and not knowing what to do with your life?

Well, I would say travel a little bit and yeah, you just get off of your phone, get off social media because stop smoking weed. You don't know if this person smokes weed. I know, I'm just saying, if you do, that's one thing that'll keep you perennially. I would say there's a lot of pressure, right?

People graduate high school at 17 or 18 and we say, okay, now you have to go to college and figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. Figure it out, 18-year-old you. I mean, you're saying after college, I mean, like, I wish something, something I wish I did is, you know, do like a gap year or something. I wish I knew what I work at the gap. Yeah, do a year where I just work at the gap, fold clothes,

eat at the food court in the mall for like a year. Gap year. No, do a gap year and figure out more what I want out of life before just trying to figure it out. Yeah, get it cool, try to get a job. Yeah, I don't, join the Peace Corps. Fucking travel. I don't know about the Peace Corps.

That's a pretty big, that could, man, that's a big comp. What's the word where commitment? What it's probably like a year long commitment. I think so. Yeah, yeah, you never know where they're gonna put you You might get put somewhere real humid even if it's horrible. Mm-hmm. You'll probably learn a lot Yeah, you probably build a lot of character. I would say I know I don't want to fucking do that Yeah, you know what my actually here's what I recommend, but I doubt it would be horrible You'll probably meet other young people you'll probably be in a cool-ish spot. You'll

get to work on something, but or just go somewhere where you can travel cheaply. You know what you should do after college? Move to New York City. That's it. It's a terrible idea. It's not a terrible idea. If you've moved to New York City, get a- No job. Get a couple get- No direction. Yeah, you go there. You find a job. You work your bus bus tables bar back, whatever the fuck you can get. And that's some good life experience, right? I would recommend everyone, every young person in their 20s should live in New York City. Yeah, absolutely. But I don't think you should just move to New York City with no idea what you're doing.

You know, the most expensive city in the country. That's why you get like 18 roommates. No, don't fucking, you know, do whatever you want, but... If you can afford it, give it a shot. All right, Aniquette Cabra asks, for Ben, as a day trader, what does your schedule look like? If on vacation, do you still work? Okay, let me tell you, what does your schedule look like? If on vacation, do you still work? Okay, let me tell you that what does my schedule look like?

Well, I wake up every day at 6 a.m. It should be five or five thirty, and I'm probably gonna start doing that now that the trader tree houses soon to be up and running. Probably will be by the time this is airing, but it consists of just being online and watching my stocks and watching the ones that I frequently trade and checking the charts and making trades based on what I'm seeing and cutting losses if I've got some just constantly.

I've got all my positions on right there and it shows all my profit and loss on those positions and then my cumulative profit and loss right there in the corner and I'm just kinda like, make the green go up all day. And you know, I'm reading the news in the morning, I get a few daily digest emails that I try to consume to get me up to speed on what's going on. That's pretty much it. And then the market closes at 1 p.m. Pacific.

I'll either take a nap or I'll go to the gym and then I come home. And all the while, I'm still keeping up to, up to speed with what's going on. via Twitter and the same thing at night. I'm checking. I'm just checking. Just constantly got my finger on the damn pulse and on vacation I still I still do it because I like it. I bring my laptop along and if if I have time I'll log on and Monitor my shit. So that's that

Next question is kind of related to that from Elri's stop. I'm not even gonna try Where's the line between investing and gambling? Well, investing is when you do it longer term, you put money away and you don't really touch it, you don't look at it. You mean trading. Yeah, and trading slash gambling, well, because some people trade and some people straight up gamble, the difference being, I would say, the frequency with which you're doing it, entering and exiting trades and the discipline that you've got doing it and your knowledge in

doing it, if you're dumping, if you're yolowing into zero... There's a fair amount of overlap between what? Trading and gambling. No. Gambling would be like, oh, I'm gonna yolo into these zero day till expiration spy calls that are $5 out of the money. No, I think you mean, oh, well, I don't know what he means, but I thought he meant like traditional gambling,

like someone who goes to the casino and a trader. Oh. What's the difference between those two people? Oh. But maybe I'm misreading the question. No, that's a good interpretation too. And I mean, that's just like rolling the dice hoping that shit works out. No, necessarily maybe I'm misreading the question. No, that's a good interpretation, too. And I mean, that's just like rolling the dice, hoping that shit works out. I mean, I would say blackjack. Oh, sure. Yeah, poker players, especially really think

they would be just like you. Well, the I would say with all the knowledge they know what to do. Yeah. So I guess the line is calculated risk versus calculated risk rolling the dice, playing crap versus playing poker. Or a slot machine versus fucking poker. Something anyway, L.C. Gathy, at least Gathy, do you think Americans are as free as we think we are? I would say no, we don't, I don't think Americans are as free as we think we are? I would say no, we don't think we are. We've talked about this on a podcast.

There's a book called The Nordic Theory of Everything, where she makes a great point about it. It's a, I believe a person from Finland who moves to American and talks about her experience. And she talks about how Americans like to think they're so free. You know, we can do whatever we want. We don't have this like a government nanny doing things for us, but she, you know, really breaks down the real freedom comes from when you are, you know, comes from not being living in fear of going bankrupt if you get sick, not staying

in a shitty relationship because you're afraid if you leave you and your kids will no longer have healthcare. Having certain work or protection, so you don't get treated like shit at work. Vacation time. Vacation time. The federally protected time off, so you can go see your family, you can go take a break. Social saving. yeah, all those things. Good public infrastructure. You know, there's also, yeah, freedom in knowing that you won't, you'll be taking care of if you take a risk. I think all those things that when people talk about American freedom aren't promoted by our current system, right? We talk about American freedom,

aren't promoted by our current system, right? We talk about wanting, when all people say, a risk, start a business, blah, blah, blah, but that can really be a dangerous gamble in America. What he said, all that, again, we shit on America a lot, but the more you go, everybody's got their problems, but.

There's a lot of problems in this country. M Kawaj says, be honest, how fucked is Gen Z because planning for my future seems unnecessary? Well, look at it this way. It's either, it's either all going to burn or it's not. So which would you rather plan for? You can't plan for it all burning. So you might as well take the optimist side and be cautious, but also assume that you're gonna have a future, right? Like, cause the alternative is what?

The alternative is, if you plan for, if you, no, no, if you plan for your future, you're like squirreling away all your money for a nice retirement and then the fucking plan it's on fire. And you're like, this sucks. I never went to Madrid. And, you know, so if you're like working your ass off, you're in your 30s and you're like, I should just went to fucking Madrid. But that doesn't, well then the alternative.

I love topos. Yeah, sure. I get it. I think you can have the best, I think you can have both. It's not like you can't plan for the future and also they're not mutually exclusive. You can say are depending on your salary. Okay, well. So, but also.

I'm assuming that this person has the capability of both saving, because planning can mean a lot of things. Planning out your career and having children, buying a home, whatever it is you're preparing for, where you're going to live versus just being a doomer about it and thinking, well, what's the point? I'm not going to get a job. I'm not going to progress in my career. I'm not going to have any of these things because I'm fucked anyway.

I would do my best and I tried. This is me also. I'm trying my best to avoid that line of thinking because I'm fun. It's not just. Right. We're all thinking that shit. The funnier thing though is it seems like Gen Z a lot of them have accepted it and we're kind of like I feel like half of my friends are. A bit doomer about it and then the other half are very much. a bit dumber about it and then the other half are very much. You know what is there having kids so they're pretending that it's not fine and I feel like I have to bite my tongue around them and you know and I can't be like damn dude.

Your kids Tyler and Olivia are for sure going to eat people at some point. They're just going to have to. I know you just want to think about that but they're going to fucking eat people. And I agree I think the same thing sometimes, but at the same time, I believe, if you look back at all the things humanity has gone through, I mean, we are resilient. The black plague comes to mind, the fucking depression, World War Two, World War One. These are a lot of things that aren't, they're just images and text and just chapters and history but important. But I remember millions of people did die during this thing.

Oh, millions. And it could be you, M. Koj. And it felt like the world was ending multiple times to multiple generations. And it did for a lot of people. And it did for a lot of people. But not some, but it could be you. Yeah, it could be you.

So I leave that decision to you. You want to live fly by the CD or pants and not plan for the future? I think that it's a coin toss, basically. It could be who knows? You could wake up dead tomorrow. There could be a gamma ray burst that destroys the planet Earth or not.

Next question, there is no person who attributed to this one. But psychologically, do you think the energy put into trading isn't equivalent to money output? That is a fantastic question. And one, I am looking forward to answer right now Sorry I'm a little tired also you got to remember Ben is Ben's biggest fan What?

Give me a break now you just laughed really hard at your joke. I wasn't a joke. I just was laughing out dumb. I am okay See if people I think you you you you confuse that for the other thing, which is just, man, most often if I'm laughing at myself, unless there was a deliberate joke, which most... Answer the question, what the hell is going on? Okay. It depends.

It depends on how you, how disciplined you are and how you regulate your emotions because it can be very stressful and it takes time to learn to not be defeated and what's the word where you're catastrophizing. So it took me a long, long time. And honestly, the big difference for me was switching from trading my own account to joining a prop firm. Because in your own account, whatever money you lose that day,

it's gone the next day. Your buying power has reduced by just that much. That can be psychologically damaging. In many ways, chief among them is damn, I lost that $5,000 or $10,000. Now I've got to be even more careful today because I have that much less to work with today. There you go. Versus with the prop firm, you lose $5,000 or $10,000 doesn't matter. Tomorrow you still have the same amount of buying power until you got

for bid, lose whatever amount you initially put in. So if it's $5,000, you lose 5 grand. Sorry, too bad so said, please insert more money. But, so psychologically, that really helped me to just kind of like separate myself from losses. Because it just takes time. It takes time to separate yourself from the losses as being actual real money, getting taken out of your bank account, and instead thinking of it as numbers on the screen,

which is fucked up too. But another big part of it is paying yourself. That's something I didn't do before I joined the prop firm. And now, every month, I tell them, okay, I want to take out this much, because if I made 20K in profits, all right, I want to take out 10, and that feels really good.

And it's like, all right, I'm ringing the register, actually. I'm actually seeing profit. And when I've taken out, let's say I've got six months of profit behind me, and I have one bad month, it's a lot more easy to tolerate and just makes the whole thing easier. So to answer your question, yes, I think the energy put into trading is worth the money output. At for me it far exceeds the jobs that I've had before that I wasn't happy in and

Had me working 60 hours a week and just feeling like shit over It's a great answer is it yeah, thank you Seeking also you kind of look like a bully in a movie. I just realized shut up bitch That's a great answer. Is it? Yeah. Thank you. Seaking. Are you guys that? Also, you kind of look like a bully in a movie, I just realized. Shut up, bitch. Like with the combo.

Shut up, bitch. Yeah, with the combo. It's with the combo. Like black jeans, black kind of denim jacket. You know who wears this exact jacket I realized? One of the cronies, one of, I forgot the bag of one of Gus Frings cronies in breaking bad interesting. He wears this exact jacket Easter egg Are you guys actually friends? Please say yes. No, we are not yeah, we This is a strictly professional relationship. I don't know Ben all that well. I don't know his last name

I refused to get to know him. It seems to be a pretty good working relationship. He's asked me for drinks a couple times after shooting. He says no. Yeah. Because he wants to keep it professional. Yeah. I've seen him at some company parties and stuff.

Yeah. I've seen him naked a few times, but that was also professional. We did travel to Japan together for two weeks, but also strictly professional there. And yeah, so no, not friends. Do I have every line in crack of his body memorized? Of course. Yes, but that is what co-workers do.

That's work. That's a good co-worker do. That's work. That's a good co-worker relationship. Co-captain relationship. That should answer it. Next question. Do you guys ever feel like you're running low on content or get bored of filming? That's from specs the crusader.

Now, I mean, luckily we picked a topic that kind of just keeps, there's always new stuff happening. Yeah. I mean, luckily we picked a topic that kind of just keeps, there's always new stuff happening. Yeah, which is fun. And it's something we both enjoy diving into. I would say one downside to that is sometimes the news doesn't change all that much. So you find yourself, we find ourselves having to touch on topics, whether it be Elon Musk is

always in the news or the Fed or inflation recently, these are big stories that are always there and it can get a little exhausting trying to both stay topical but also feel fresh and not repetitive. I would say, you have anything? Well, usually when you... I would say, would you like to know? Okay, that was like, I don't want to keep talking. I'm saying too much. Uh, well, what were you going to say? Oh, okay.

Oh, so me? Okay. I mean, what? I would say, I'm going to let my friend here speak. No, I mean, what? I would say I'm gonna let my friends speak. No, I mean, I will probably never get tired of making fun of elites, politicians, billionaires. Unless we become them. In which case, please be nice. No, then I'll do it to their face.

I'll say, you guys wanna come over? I do one of these to Jeff Bezos. I think they would probably stop hanging out with us very quickly. Oh, yeah, they'd go They're just kind of mean to us. I would I would be yeah cuz you guys Yeah, I would disrespect whatever bathroom I used Which is fuck that because they would never know and the cleaner the house cleaner would have to deal with it So I take that back I find a bedroom and do stuff to the pillow that they would never know about, like wipe my butt cheeks on it.

That's nice. All right. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But I do want to answer, there's one part that I do want to answer to that, which is I do sometimes feel upset that the avenue that we've taken being a finance slash comedy show,

while good and satisfies a certain need out there, it also pigeon holds us in such a way that I get scared that our potential audience isn't as big as I would like. And it's like, how do we get, how do we tap into a bigger, we got to, I want to continue to grow it. We want to continue to, all of us want to continue to grow it. And that can sometimes, I definitely feel that it's a very specific thing.

Yeah. And I know that there's a lot of people out there who can, cause there's other finance shows that are, you know, not as fucking edgy as us. And they got audiences. How do we get in there, man? We do have an audience. Yeah, we do.

I love them. We do love them. Yeah, it does. Sometimes I'm like, you know, because some people say they just watch after hours, which is our more. Yeah, which is cool too. Yeah, but I'm like, do they just want to stop doing the finance stuff and make our jokes and do it? Because it's like, I'll be an internet dad. Yeah, make our jokes and do it because it's like I'll be an internet dad Yeah, but I would have to find some outlet of It started because we wouldn't shut up about this stuff to each other. Yeah, well, you know We'll find it. We'll find it. Daniela Vino has you guys meet. I don't know if I missed this But I don't remember ever hearing we actually only know each other from this show. We met the first day of the show Yeah, we both arrived in the park and

Cody and Noel said Ben meet a meal a meal meet Ben That's your cost and we should tell the truth. That's not we've told the truth so many times. I know so many episodes But they she might have only my best Daniel here's what I'll say go back watch every episode No, I won't say that. My best friend Phil My husband Phil Met Ben on the internet Ben was moving back to LA

Ben asked him to get lunch because they won't he wanted to meet people Phil said I feel like my best friend and husband would like this guy Ben, we started hanging out. We became fast friends. We loved each other. And went to, we went to the beach a bunch, a big group of us and then went to the climbing, same climbing gym as it turns out. And that's pretty much it. Okay, if you-

Yeah, we haven't, oh, sorry. No, go ahead. We have an uncredited one. If you didn't have your current careers, what careers would you want, slash see yourself doing? Good question. I wanna be a music supervisor.

If you're making a movie, someone's gonna pick the music. Let me fucking do it. Yeah. It'll be so sick. And you know what? If you're like younger than fucking 25, all your friends only listen to music on TikTok. They don't know fucking shit.

Yeah, that's true. They know 30 seconds of songs. Yeah. And if I didn't have my current career and taking away the dream career that I had, that I still kind of have flopping around in there. I would probably, like, if I could go back to college, let's say, and choose something other than philosophy,

I would probably choose computer science. Or... Dork! Holy shit, dude. Shut up, dude. Shut up, dude. Shut up. Because I was really good at symbolic logic. I was the top of my class or Holy shit dude shut up shut up shut up Because I was really good at symbolic logic I was the top of my class and I loved it so much that I was doing homework and studying on Friday nights

Okay, wait, I changed my answer My I would change my dream career to giving Ben fucking swirly. Oh man. I was gonna say what are you gonna be my my personal bully? So it would be that or I would probably Hope that I like to think that I would have studied like biology or some shit and be curing all kinds of penal diseases Penile disease Kendall Gale asks Ben. How did you learn about slash decide to be an opair? I'll give you this one quick. I did study abroad through Long Beach City College when I was like

17. I did a month in Spain. I lived with a little old lady named Manuela who didn't speak any English. And then two years later when I was 19, I wanted to go back and visit Spain for a 10 day trip. Made contact with Manuela, ended up staying with her again. And while I was there on that 10-day trip, I happened to bump into a friend of mine from from Long Beach and I said, well, Laura, what are you doing here? She said, I'm living here all summer. I'm an O'Pare for a family. And I said, what the fuck is that? What does that mean? And we smoked weed out of an apple together and she, she explained it to me. Sorry, it was hash because that's how you could get in Spain. She said, I don't remember how she connected with

this family, but she said, you should do this. What's your like life plan right now? And I said, well, I'm just going to go back to working at the crab pot when I'm going back home. And she said, don't do that. I can have the mom from my family introduce you to a couple of other families that would want an English speaking pair to. And I said, all right, cool. Set it up. So I had lunch with these two lovely ladies, one of whom I ended up working for. I flew back home, found out that my dog Pete had died while I was away, which sucked. And then I just turned right back around, got on an airplane and stayed with El Moudana and Diego's family for five weeks. Maybe we should tell that girl who doesn't know what to do yet who just graduated college.

It'll be in her pair. See if you can get in her pair job. Yeah, I'm sure that there are many websites. See some fucking stuff. Take a European lover. The best lovers. Just take one. Take one. Take one. Learn the European way of love making. Which, yeah, yeah. It's way different. Oh, yeah. It's fucking way different.

It's fucking way different. Nat Dog, with all the substantial guests y'all have had on, who is the dream guest? You guys know the answer. Who? We want Elon Musk to come on. Oh yeah, we would look, we actually really would. That would be really cool. It would be very cool.

It would be very funny. We'd be very respectful. I would not. I would be respectful, but we would roast him. Yeah. Sure, that's the whole point of the show. We should, I want to ask people respect I would be respectful even though I would not I well I'd be respectful but we would roast them yeah sure that's the whole point of the show we should I want to ask people questions who refuse to like I would love to have Barack Obama on oh yeah that guy just fucking Nancy Pelosi

now she's too old I'd be Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton I would love to have on the show. Thank you for coming on But you are still a bitch. You are a bitch, but I yeah, she's a bitch. No anyone like that would be insane. Yeah, Jeffie kisses that would be just a Bill Gates, you know, the big heavy hit is Zuckerberg's Mark Zuckercorn anyone who is truly a walking lizard with a human suit on That's exactly right. We want to come on. We want to talk to them about Splashwater. Are they eating little cricket and stuff or what's the deal? Do they have like a little heat lamp at home?

Mary LSL looking back to a year ago. What about the pod? Are you guys most proud and least proud of? Most and least proud of gosh, that is a tough one. Mary LSL laying it on thick for the boys. Most proud of, I don't know, it's not. I would say, people like friends and people have said very nice things about us that, you know, like I remember people have asked me like, have you guys done something like this before? And I said no, and they said you guys are very natural

which is nice. You know, it's nice we've put together a cohesive thing. It's a real thing. I think at least proud of his hard to pinpoint. I think I'm just always like, I mean, I'm like that with everything. I'm always just like, I wish I was better. I can see like flaws and, you know, I think what do you think your flaws are? Like personally, or like related to the show,

or like with my personal relationships and stuff? I know that one. I mean, well, so it's a really tough format because we do the two shows once a week, right? And it's, we have a loose outline, but it's unscripted and you're hoping that like, you know, you just have it that day. It's interesting and it's funny and, you know,

sometimes you feel it, you're like in the groove and then sometimes you're like, ah, I feel like we were a little fucking, and there are times where like we shut the cameras and I'm like, fuck, let us do it again. I feel like it wasn't, but we're always like that. When we filmed the pilot, I think they said

to like relieve pressure, they said like, don't worry, like if it doesn't, if you don't feel good about it, you can shoot again. Yeah. And I'm always like that. You know, we turned it off and I was like, oh, we fucked that. And then like Cody and Noel, Cody and Noel were like,

well, we'll watch it back, we'll see what it's like. And then they were like, we fucked that. And then like Cody and Noel, we're like, well, we'll watch it back. We'll see what it's like. And then they were like, I don't know what you guys would change. It was great. So I don't know. I tend to always be like, I'm just like, I wish we were better. I wish we were always fucking doing better.

But whatever, we'll get better. I would say that I am most proud of together our, I would say that I am most proud of together our, together I would say I'm most proud of the, just getting more comfortable and finding our groove, any who. What's your favorite country to visit? Slash, a culture slash meeting new people. Wow, well, I mean-

Northwest cow. You've been, I've been to Spain a fucking hundred times, so that's probably my favorite. I, they put culture too, which, so, like, I really like, and we just got back from Tokyo. Tokyo was great, but I will say, and like, I realized, I love fucking- You love fucking?

I do, I love fucking. No, love fucking no, but I like I like Cafe culture a lot so anytime I'm in Europe you know I want fucking hang out I don't even drink coffee, but you know I love a flaky little treat I'm fucking obsessed with flaky little treats. So just hanging out. I learned that about you on this trip My boys are drinking coffee. I'm get I got flakes all over my shirt. Yeah. I'm going up to get another one. Yeah. That's, I just, I love, you know, chopping it up.

You love a belong, right? Every time I'm in Greece, you're just, oh, oh, a Boulangerie, come on. I'm dying. Even, you know, so you're a bet, but Mexico City too, is one of my favorite places to go, you know, insane cafe culture. One of the best bakers in the world I've ever been to.

Really good stuff. My favorite country actually that I've been to now, Australia. I love you guys so much down there. It's, I just, I must have been Australian in a previous life or something. I just, I eat up every single aspect of it. Everything. The food, the people, the sense of humor is a big one because it's very self-deprecating. They don't take themselves too

seriously at all. They're all funny. They're all warm. They're all nice. They're all down to earth. They're all down to earth Just give me that shit Any who make father Mason is it possible to be in touch with Karen to Vince slash political knees and be happy no No, I mean it is it's hard to stay informed and also not feel some despair about the world, but also do you really wanna be like a... Uninformed vlog. Moving through the world like an idiot being like, oh, that's what you're going on?

That's tough though, because I feel like, but also whatever you gotta do to be happy. Yeah, if it involves not paying attention to that shit then don't pay attention. Don't, I don't blame you. Update yourself once a month or just hear it by word of mouth like it used to be. I read the newspaper. Stay away.

I am. Yeah. I enjoy it. But it does mess with me. I've, you know, family and friends are like, please stop reading so many CIA books. I think it's, you don't leave the house. You're just telling me about fucking, you know, K Ultra, which is a great movie. I really like that movie with Jesse Eisenberg.

Is that his name? Yeah, it's fun. I just think people would like it if I'd stop talking about the dollars brothers. Jacob asks, will you ever go on tour? Abs of the loop. Yes, we really hope to. I really want to a sap. I am trying to figure out how we can do some smaller shows

to kind of figure out what the live trillionaire mindset would be and yeah, we're looking at venues and stuff. I really like this next question, but I kind of want to save it for, okay, so by the way, I think the bonus episode today, which if you want to support the show, or if you want, or if you want bonus content, please sign up for us on teamgstudios.tv.

But anyway, are we gonna continue this in the after hours, right? Let's answer that one in the after hours, because the question is, what is your greatest hot take? Yeah, we're gonna save that, because that in the after hours, you think I'm gonna give you the greatest hot take? Yeah, we're gonna save that because that in an after hour, you think I'm gonna give you the fucking hottest take? Yeah, okay.

So, oh, this person asks what your best content is. Amil, what was the best? Well, you can't get mad at that when you've said on this podcast, I just don't like going to concerts. I've been to like 200. Amil, what is the best concert you've ever been to? Excluding Bruce Springsteen, that is making it difficult for me?

But I will say so Bruce Brings' theme is on one end of the spring one of the Bestram because it's a huge arena. You're not gonna see him in a small unless you get very lucky He does sometimes play the you know small clubs, but I also do there's nothing I love more than an absolute tiny dingy rock club. I mean, so, oh, you know who, I love Ty Siegel and I love kind of every iteration. He's done, you know, he's got Ty Siegel band, Fuzz, he was in Gogs, all the, so, but I remember, it must have been like 2012 reading an article before he formed Fuzz. They were doing a profile of him for his newest record and him in Charlie Moothart.

They're describing how they're talking about how they're working on a proto-medal album and they played it for the journalist and they said the journalist. They said, Ty Siegel and Charlie Moothart just started like jamming out to this proto-medal they made. And I was like, holy fuck, I need to hear that album. And they put out Fuzzuzz One which is just psycho. It's just them playing fucking Sabbath and it's so sick and then they play Death by Audio which doesn't exist anymore. Tiny fucking room and they jammed us in there. I'd never been the whole room was just fucking vibrating and crowd surfing so fucking fun. They burned the goddamn house down.

That sounds cool. Yeah. Can I answer mine? I want to share my email. It says a meal. What must the best man? I was doing this thing. Do you think they want to know mine? I bet they do. I bet they do. Uh, Queen's is Stone Age at the then brand new Nokia theater in downtown Los Angeles. No Kiyah Theater in downtown Los Angeles. It was the third show at that venue, and I was on an eighth of mushrooms, and that was really, really, really fun. And then actually, it feels embarrassing to say now, but muse, when their album Absolution came out,

in like 2009 or 2008 whenever it was before they turned into what they are now which is less good but they played at the will turn because they this is before they were doing arenas in the United States and I was front dead center with my good friend Shane and it was the best show it was so impressive they oh man they just fucking the best show. It was so impressive. They... Oh, man, they just fucking... The light show that they had, the guy had his piano had all this light rigging set up on the back that like corresponded to the keys he was playing. And whenever he would get up and play guitar, he would like really embellish it and get on his knees in front of the people right in the front.

It was fucking cool. It was so good You know what was also really good. Okay, so he's doing three gorillas when we saw gorillas at the theater That was really fucking good. I just out of one more actually very this I don't think we have time Oh, wait, which one? This one in hindsight is Not as cool, but at the time it felt very cool. So we were huge LCD sound system fans. I had already seen them a couple times and then they announced that they were retiring

after their last album, this is happening. And we were shocked. I mean, they were, they were still very young and, and and they then they announced that they would be playing Madison Square Garden and We got tickets. It was the last show ever they said to dress like it was a funeral. It was fucking cool Everyone like you would see a season Zari walking around the stadium. Oh, oh my god Donald Glover. There's all kinds of celebs there and It felt like you were part of this thing and and then five years later, they were like, we're fucking headlining Coachella, whatever, fucking.

I've seen them like three more times since, but that felt very cool. I got one more really good one that I just remembered. Okay. 2004, CKY, House of Blues, Anaheim. I think it was a Christmas show, or Halloween, how it might have been Halloween. And you wanna talk about not a cell phone insight,

just vibes, that's it right there. It was, they were my all time favorite band, I'd seen them, I don't know how many times, but. Okay, I got one more. All right, so I was obsessed with Surfer Blood's debut album Astro Coast. It kicks so much ass from top to bottom. It's like oh It was like being in your 20s early 20s encapsulated just fucking yeah felt so good And then I saw them so many times but the first time I saw them was at Johnny Brandes in Philadelphia They just fucking it was great.

Also the Pixies. Nothing like small. All right, we got Pixies at the Paladin. Okay. It was really good. Front dead center also. And he's got me great joke. Frank Black is playing in acoustic guitar and he's, you know, he's a bit portly.

He's playing in acoustic guitar. He's got a big hole in it other than the main hole. And some dork behind me goes to his buddy. the acoustic guitar has got a big hole in it other than the main hole and some dork behind me goes to his buddy. Man, you see that big hole in his guitar? What's the deal with that? And his buddy responds, you know, this where he keeps his snacks. I also got a set list. The pixies, this is why I was one of my favorite shows. My sister, the Pixies were her all time favorite band. And throughout high school, she was born in the 70s.

So throughout high school, the 90s, all that shit, she had never seen them live somehow. And I took her to that show. It was her first time seeing the Pixies. And after the show, the Rodeys are like, you know, tossing out drumsticks and stuff. And the guy is reaching, he's about to hand out the set list. He's got the set list that you just tore off from Frank Blacks, like Mike stand. And I being Lanky and had being tall,

I just reached over the barrier and put my hand out further than everyone else. He handed it to me, I gave it to my sister. Good memory. Very good. Anyway. Oh, you know what? Can I give you one really great live experience? It's not a, well, there was music involved. Dan Hourback actually played, but I was a huge Conan O'Brien fan and I was so upset when he announced that he wasn't going to be on late night anymore. He was going to be on snitcho and I always wanted to go see him live. I never went to go to one of the tapings and then I Got to go I would think I was at like the fourth to last one. They were literally like taking Pieces off the set and giving it to people and stuff. Excellent. Very cool Young Gulash. What are y'all's favorite friendship memory? Mine would have to be the beach a couple years ago I think one or both of us was on a little bit of acid

and I had you stand on or get on my shoulders. Oh yeah, that was fun. And we just could not stop laughing. And I walked us all the way down to the water until I could not walk anymore. That was a really good one. We're gonna have to dig up those pictures. It's probably not like a specific memory

because we've talked about so many memorable ones, but there was a very nice period like before the pandemic, like 2019, me and Ben, we would just kind of hang at the gym lot, there was like a co-working space, we would work out, we would climb, we'd be there for so long, we would chill, we would chill, We would chill tell stories Do like sometimes I would be up on the top doing work and I could see him We would and I videos of him like dancing. It's just a very fun time. We'd hang out a lot and

Jacked with your bud getting jacked with there's nothing like Jack in your bud. I mean getting jacked with your bud Kawa Williams favorite restaurants ranging from cheap to mid to expensive anywhere or pick a city. Well, I'm going to have to lead off with Long Beach, California, where you've got Holy Moli, which is a taco place, Takarria on 4th and Radondo, and then my favorite restaurant it's a bar, uh, Joe Josts on Anaheim in Temple. Oh, he's a bar, Joe Josts on Anaheim in Temple. Oh, he's a freak for Joe Josts. Pickled eggs, a Joe special, and a schooner of bush.

You've talked about it before, someone, someone, um, didn't they run into you there? Cause they were like, I'm here cause you said it. That's so funny. And then I also love here in Los Angeles, Musso in Frank, which is the oldest bar in Hollywood. It's on Hollywood Boulevard and I love going there for a dirty martini. And a little, uh, I don't know, fucking steak or some shit. I'm trying to think, I don't, I wouldn't call this like my favorite restaurant, but it is a very memorable dining experience because, uh, it was a place I always wanted to go in

New York. I would literally always talk about it. It's one of the best restaurants in New York. It's called La Tuzi. It's this Italian restaurant. It's very fancy. And I would always say how about it. It's one of the best restaurants in New York. It's called La Tuzi. It's this Italian restaurant. It's very fancy. And I would always say how I wanted to go. And then when I was moving to LA,

my girlfriend at the time said, hey, just meet me in, because we lived in Brooklyn. She was like, meet me in the West Village at whatever time. And I was like, why, what are we doing? She wouldn't tell me. And then, Oh, yeah, take a sip of water. As we were getting closer, I started to realize, because there's nothing else over there in the West Village. And I was like, holy shit,

we're not too easy. But I was not fucking dressed for Lartese, but it was fine. We looked, so out of place, everyone was in like suits, everyone was fucking like, just looked very rich and we were so jacked to be there. They could tell and they probably get so many jaded rich people in the fanciest restaurant in New York and they were like bringing us out free stuff but we were seated next to truly the worst couple in the world. And I get very distracted and I can't stop listening.

And literally at one point, I only said something because he was saying like kind of like racist and anti-Semitic shit. And I was like, this is fucking crazy. Like, I'm only gonna be here probably once in my life. I just don't wanna hear this shit. So I leaned over and I said, look, I don't wanna like be annoying.

Just at least cut it out with the fucking like racist shit and the, anti-Semitic shit. And the girl goes, what are we in church? And I was like, okay. Bitch! And then, I remember at one point,

she goes to the bathroom. Guy gets, it must've been her first date, which that's how you know this guy. Like, he brings first dates to this place. He gets on the phone and he's talking to his friend about her. He's like, and I've never heard someone describe a woman like this on the phone and he's talking to his friend about her. He's like, and I've never heard someone describe a woman like this in my life, he's gone, dude, she's a badger.

She's a badger. And we're, is that good? I have no idea, we're dying, we're like, what does that fucking mean? And the badger dude. She's a badger dude. She comes back from the bathroom, he puts his phone away real quick and he's like,

work, they never stop. Oh my god. It's really bad guy in a movie. Like if I saw him, maybe I'd be like, Jesus, this is so overwritten. And then the guy, our waiter comes up to us and he was like, Hey, it's a little noisy down here and our private space upstairs just opened up.

Do you guys wanna go up there? And we were like, for sure, I guess. And then when he got us up there, he was like so sorry about those people. And they were just like hooking us up. That's fun. That's it. It rocked. It was the greatest.

I have three quick other New York ones. Commodore, in Brooklyn, chicken sandwich, cheap bar, Miller High Life, and a chicken sandwich. Perfect. Ukrainian restaurant on like second-av and ninth or something like that in the city. It's literally called Ukrainian restaurant. If you search for it on Google Maps, it's right next to this other one called like, what's it called? Vasilka? Not that one.

It's next to it. Amazing. And then one more, it went out of business, but it was called pearls. And it was, oh, pearls and Williamsburg. Yeah, and it was Caribbean food. And it was so fucking good. I dream about that, good. White spicy sauce. I dream about the white spicy sauce.

I dream about the soft shell, back crab, or whatever the fuck, it was so good. Anyway, we're gonna wrap it up here. Wait, can you scroll down to some of the other ones where in case there's some really? Can we get a weed episode because Brook and Connor already didn't want it? Yes, we are going to do a, I'm gonna get high
