Very special.
You know why?
We got a special guest that will be joining us halfway through the podcast,
and he is literally my favorite TikToker right now. I've been obsessed
with his content for months. For some reason, I've just been in this spiral of watching his content.
He goes by the name of Vukom. I know a lot of you know him. I know a lot of you, he's been popping
up on your For You pages as he has for me. Vukom will be joining us. He flew all the way down from New
York to join us. So guys, we got to make him feel special. I know the Ushino podcast family
is very strong. Y'all will move as a united front. I need everybody to click the link in
the description. It's going to be Vukom Social and just say, welcome to the Ushino family.
Just spam him. I'm not going to tell him we did this. Spam, welcome to the Ushano family. Just spam him. I'm not going to tell him we did
this. Spam, welcome to the Ushano family. So he knows like, damn, I hope I didn't fly all the way
to Dallas to be on the podcast or nothing. The fans didn't like me. We love Vukom. Go to his
socials and say, welcome to the Ushano family. He'll appreciate that. I'll appreciate that. And
I will be checking. I will be checking. Don't you disappoint me. All right.

Anyway.
Oh, speaking of your hips, me and Cam went to a bar the other night.
And you know when you go to a bar, you get touched up. They check your pockets, your waistband.
They make sure you're not having any weapons.
That's ridiculous what happened.
Me, 10 seconds.
Boom, boom, boom.
Check the pockets.
You're good to go.
Go inside.
Bow.
He goes, hey, all right, all right.
You're next, bro.
I look for Cam, and Cam's taking a long time.
Did Cam bring some machinery in here that I don't know about?
I look back.
They were just moving down Cam's hip.
He was like.
I was like, yo.
I said, what is.
I said, I don't got nothing.
Like, what's going on?
Something's not right with this hip.
He's like.
He's like, all right, you're good to go.
Have you seen a chiropractor?
I'm just like, hey, all right, man.
I know.
I told you Cam's got a set of hips.
Miss Butterworth type Johns.
But yes, back at it again. Episode 38. Back atworth type Johns. But yes,

Ooh, hit that.
If you know, you know.
But...
There's a horrendous murder
happening outside.
Yeah, it's a horrendous what?
Murder.
Oh.
What?
What the hell happened?
I thought I said something wrong. No. um but yes did you know one out of ten
koala bears don't make it home to christmas did you know that these people our fans our family
are uh condoning your freak behavior they that's why they love us he has been saying this before
you should know was even a thought in his mind he has been saying this for so long just randomly
he'll literally hit you be like hey bro did you hear hear what that one out of ten call and i'm just like you
you i have a video of us snake nasty rat little dirt boy you just nasty little i have a video of
me and cam live together and i was recording him and i just said it and he was so upset he was like
i don't know if i might put this in the Discord, but you were like,
see, whenever it's just dead silent and I have nothing to say,
I just don't say anything.
Yeah, I just don't.
There's nothing to say.
You are like, hmm, nobody's talking.
I haven't said anything in a while.
You don't want to take a look at us.
I want to take a look at it.
It's his nervous plug to just start.
Oh, God.
Dude, it just rolls off the tongue, and it's a true fact.
I spent quality time overseas.
You have never seen a Koala Bear.
I've been in the process since I was 15 years old to get that put into every textbook and literature inside of public schooling systems.
It's not a fact.
Anyway.
Rock that Koala Bear merch with pride.
Regardless, we are adding a new couple pieces of merch to the season
two drop it's not a whole new merch drop it's the same uh same drop the discount code as well as he
said happy holidays 10 so we love you enjoy that um but yeah the fact that some of y'all are going
to have a koala on your back all of you should i think this man and his ludicrous saying but does it not look good
it looks good it looks great it's just it's he's i don't that's y'all that's why that's why i mean
the audience are like this yes because we're all freak weirdos it's hilarious and it's uh it's
that can easily be your ugly christmas sweater or your ugly i mean it's not ugly oh by the way
they won't know what it means so they'll be like why is this why why does she have a koala
i want to say this.
Do not expect it to be here by Christmas.
So if you're planning for it to be a Christmas gift, do not expect it to be a Christmas gift
because I can't promise you that it will be here at your own.
I mean, realistically, this comes out Monday.
If you were to order Monday, it should be, but we're not stamping nothing.
Yes.
We're not.
So don't expect that.
And don't email our merch team and be like.
This was supposed to be a gift.
That's what's supposed to be a gift.
So be nice to them.
Yes.
Please.
They are working very hard.
But yeah, you're welcome, I guess.
You're going to rock it with pride.
I mean, I will have one as well, but yeah.
Dude, I'm starting to get a thing for squirrels.
What the hell?
What does that mean?
A thing?
What are you, looking at them like a...
No, no, no.
Start daydreaming?
What do you mean you're getting a thing for squirrels?
No, no, not like that.
Don't make me come out that way.
You hunt them out now?
You're going through your drive?
You're just...
There's a little squirrel.
Oh, there he is.
No, no.
Do not make me seem like some...
Sick freak.
Don't make me come out that way.
What are you...
Come out that way?
What are you... Talk about squirrels. What's going on right on right now bud what do you mean you're getting a thing you know no no
you need to watch no no you need to watch it i didn't mean someone's dialing a number to get you
to get you under an investigation i didn't mean it like that you need to explain i just what do
you mean you're getting a thing for squirrels i just think they're cute okay no not like that you're you're
really pissing me off not only is someone literally typing up a report to get you they're
gonna cancel me right now what do you mean what do you mean they're gonna cancel me i don't mean
it like three little nut grabbing bandits that are just trying to find a tree to survive i mean
like i want one
as a pet i have like you want to domesticate a squirrel listen though where are we where are we
living texas no we're living in reality this is earth real life buddy okay you want a squirrel
on a leash you have deeper no i was thinking more of like a hamster what happened when you were a
kid what happened but listen there's trauma but listen i what the reason i started thinking about this is because i was
in a park right alone as i normally am and it was next to a tree and it started climbing up the tree
and it looked at me and i haven't i haven't felt that kind of like okay okay no no no no it was a
friendship type of thing no like a dog oh friendship like a dog you got a thing for your all your
friends what are we doing no no listen to me please please don't make me look this way i haven't felt Friendship type of thing. No. Like a dog. Oh, friendship. Like a dog. Oh, you got a thing for all your friends.
What are we doing?
No.
No, listen to me, please.
Please don't make me look this way.
I haven't felt that type of stare.
It's a squirrel.
No, I...
It's looking at your head, trying to figure out if that's a bush, if there's a nut in
there somewhere they can find, and then it went up the tree.
No, but listen.
I'm talking about like...
You need to watch your words.
You know whenever you go to a...
You need to watch your words.
You know when you go to a dog shelter...
Thing for squirrels.
Haven't felt that stare in a long time.
They're cute.
What's happening?
You know when you go to a dog shelter and you see a dog look at you and you immediately know that's my dog.
You know I'm right.
I have that with squirrels.
And the other, and I was, and how I knew I was true in my feelings is whenever I was driving and one of them just scampered across the road and it
almost got hit by my car and I got so sad because what if I would have done that squirrel that's
normal but I'm not that way with everything it could be there's been things that I've maybe maybe
maybe maybe maybe a rabbit I wouldn't I would be sad but I had a horrible story but I wouldn't feel
I wouldn't feel as sad as I would if it was a squirrel I would still feel sad just not as sad as a squirrel okay i have a thing for squirrel that's a weird
connection you got but i one time severed the both of the rabbits back legs i had to leave
him there i wasn't gonna pick him up thought he was dead wasn't dead back legs broke stuck in the
street i go do what i have to do come back four hours later it's pouring down rain he's
still in the street he's you got it you got freezing cold his back legs are snapped he can't
move i when i tell you i was a wreck for about 48 hours you gotta in that i had nightmares of that
rabbit screaming for me oh can't stop it's making me sad you got it in that situation you have to
i have to go over it again.
I probably should have.
It's a humane thing to do.
The man was suffering for four hours without limbs.
And in the rain.
The cold.
Dude, you ruined it.
That's such a bad way to go out.
You're a sick man.
It's awful.
I didn't mean to.
Well, you didn't.
Squirrel lover.
There's nothing wrong with loving animals.
I'm sorry that I wouldn't have bandaged him up, took him back, gave him some antibiotics.
Antibiotics. Who's antibiotics. Antibiotics.
Who's that?
Antibiotics.
Tried to get him back up, maybe a little couple canes,
some prosthetic legs, put a leash on him, give him a name,
domesticate him.
It's a squirrel.
The way I brought it up was wrong.
I didn't mean it that way.
Freak?
No, no, no.
What a squirrel lover.
I just mean I have a deeper connection with squirrels.
One out of ten qualifiers don't make it home to Kristen,
but one out of one squirrels make it home to my bedroom.
You need to watch it.
You're the one who turned it this way.
You're the one who did this to me.
I took cute thing form, haven't felt that stare in a long time.
Was this the notebook?
What are you?
I just want one as a pet.
I haven't felt that connection.
No, because they're going to come after me.
I do not mean it this way.
I just mean,
I want one as a little pet.
Give it a little hamster wheel
inside of my apartment.
It's the only monkey that,
or,
the only pet
that shouldn't be a pet
that I would make a pet for me
would be a monkey.
Because that is hilarious
and they're beautiful.
You can have a pet monkey.
I know, but like,
do you know how to get one?
Not an orangutan. Black market?
Would you get an orangutan or a little spider monkey?
I'd get a little spider monkey.
It's going to jump all around the bathroom, play in the water.
But you seem like the type to want an orangutan.
You'd be like, dude, I love him.
And then he claws your goddamn grill off.
You think I want a beast the size of me?
Give him a name?
Come on now.
No, give me a little spider monkey.
Like a little stuffed animal that's just running around, but has a real life.
What are you doing?
Someone remix this too.
He's already done it three times this episode.
I saw a video on TikTok the other day.
Somebody had a little spider monkey and he was putting on a diaper and they were jumping around.
Yes. You saw that?
Yes, he was like, jumpy boy, jump he was like that's so cute it's so cute yeah yeah i almost got a dog the other i i swear to god i didn't even tell you

Dude, Ruby was 20 bones in a back rub.
That's all we had to do to get Ruby.
Oh, my God.
Who is behind the screen?
What if Vukov just found out?
I'd be like, you need to leave. Oh. What was that? Who is behind the screen?
Yeah, but I what kind of dog I didn't get that far
So you were nowhere near actually no, but I said the thought no But I genuinely I was calling my mom cuz you she would have green-lit it
I would have got one but she was like Peyton
You can't take care of an animal you can't
Like I'll just sit here my devastated loneliness. Yeah, but something you can't take care of an animal. You can't. I was like, okay. I was like, I'll just sit here in my devastated loneliness.
But something you can do is,
This world is primal.
My grinding jaw.
This headache pill.
The necktie on my bedroom door.
My conscience burning.
Stop.
We're going to get copyrighted.
We're going to get copyrighted. We're're gonna get copyrighted. We're gonna get copyrighted. We're gonna get copyrighted
That nothing
All right, all right, it's too long. It's too long though nothing stuck in my head for about
We were just in the car together me and cam we played he played this song four times back to back
He's like no, but you didn't hear the beginning though incorrect you didn't hear the you didn't hear do you hear this lyric there's one part the one part
he's like listen to the way he he hates it he hates it and then not only did he play the same
song four times in a row he said listen to the sped up version and he played this i was like
cam because i found the sound on ticky tocky sounded great video was good they did a great
job i said let me find the real one
listen to it it was there's not many things honestly not that good of a song i can't lie
it's not but that part is just there's not many things in this world that upset me
that pisses me off i hate that song you loving rodents and in other creatures and wanting to
make them your what was you just hip thrust was that? This world is primal.
Exactly.
You're welcome.
Dude, I'm so hungry.
I'm about to pass out.
You should eat something.
We have a plethora of snacks.
We do have a lot of snacks here at You Should Know.
Great diction.
Plethora.
Plethora.
Matter of fact...
That just brought me back to our spelling days.
Uh-oh.
Spell squirrel.
You want to own one, and I bet you can't even spell squirrel.
Look at you.
You're nervous.
You can't spell squirrel.
I just don't like being put on the spot.
I can do it.
Spell squirrel.
All right, then just be quiet.
Give me confidence.
Squirrel.
All right, with confidence.
Shutting your eyes?
Was there a whiteboard?
There's too many things alright go all right squirrel simple word
SQ you I are e LLE
See you don't make me feel
You don't make me feel good about myself. What would that be? Squirrely L?
We're in Gotham.
Arkham City is among us.
There's the straight up destruction going on outside.
But back to the squirrel.
Spell it again.
S-Q-U-I-R-E-L-L-E.
There's two L's in squirrel.
There's not two E's.. There's not two E's and there's not two L's.
Double down wrong.
I didn't put the E's together.
You're two by two, you're four times wrong.
There's not two L's, there's not two E's.
You're acting like I just have to spell things
in my everyday life.
That's close enough.
If you can't spell squirrel, you don't need to have one.
Straight up.
If you can't spell it, you don't have it, period.
End of story. Which part is wrong? I'm gonna, you don't have it. Period. End of story.
What part is wrong?
I'm going to... You're pissing me off.
I'm dead serious.
I'm giving you one more chance.
Okay.
Squirrel.
Squirrel.
Do you think squirrel ends in E-L-L-E?
Squirrel.
Yeah.
Squirrel?
Michelle?
Same way you say Michelle.
Squirrel!
Squirrel!
Squirrel? It's the same way you spell... It Squirrel. Squirrel. Squirrel.
It's the same way you spell.
It ends.
It's the same.
There's an ending.
It's the same way you spell Michelle.
It's the same thing.
You.
That's why.
That's where my brain went.
And honestly, we're not editing this out.
It's saying, you know, your life needs editing.
You need.
You need.
You need a help book.
Just for most things.
Like, back, it's just, it's your.
That's the thing that you do, though, that makes me mad.
You make me feel dumb about trivial stuff.
Because there's no need.
I do have an excess amount of useless knowledge.
And I'll agree to that.
Exactly.
There's no need for me to know how to spell squirrel.
Who gives a dick?
There's certainly not a need for you to own one.
And name it. And domesticate it. But they're they're so nice they're nice have you seen someone feed a
squirrel are you hanging out with him there's that one tick tock account and he's adorable he's like
squishy squishy and he fades in the nut he fades in the nuts he feeds him the nuts stop it what is your eyes look like a little demon look at him
like y'all oh my god there's a rack in the room you think there is a rack y'all think
that i'm supposed to let this slide if you want me to let it slide just comment be like give him
a break and you know what i'll think about. But just take this back to wherever you're going Monday,
wherever on your way.
Squirrel.
S-Q-U-I-R-E-L-L-E.
Just go and see what someone says to you.
Then why would it be spelled different than Michelle?
Why would they put it two different ways?
Oh, my God.
I almost did full-blown rage.
That's a good point.
That's a good point. I made a good point. I made a good point. That's a good point. You know what? That's a good point.
I made a good point.
That is an awful point.
If you say that again, I'm striking Dragone.
Like a very violent strike.
He doesn't deserve that.
He doesn't.
Matter of fact, that was rude.
Dragone, you don't deserve that.

What are you, why are you, like,
because you literally were just like this.
You're like, all right, well,

He said, all right, um,
it's like, is this a,
should I be worried? That's the live show exclusive.
No one knows about this.
Should I be worried?
Listen there.
So the question, all right, go for it. No, knows about this. Should I be worried? So the question.
All right, go for it.
No, I'm actually nervous.
I don't know how to say this.

I'll help you, I guess.
You can't.
I always do.
Help yourself with your foot first.
How about you go get that taken care of?
I'll help you and put you in rehab or something of some sort.
You need to show him nothing but animals and how devastating they are
and their true
habitats try to change his mind okay um
all right what do you think you have a better chance of surviving okay easy i will bring
straight logic would you rather be trapped in a mall closed doors you can't get out you're trapped
in a mall for 24 hours do you
think you have a better chance of surviving a gorilla or seven black mambas i think the answer
is easy i would agree with you okay what's your answer what do you have a better chance of
surviving the gorilla or the seven black mambas do they just happen to be in there or are they
like actively searching they're actively hunting you their job is like mommas easy completely wrong answer that might be the
dumbest answer actually that might be the most wrong answer you could have said in that situation
you're kidding you are kidding me i will argue this point to my last breath and it is a simple argument you are kidding me i will shut you down listen to me
listen to me i'm trying
i could i could for sure survive a gorilla no you can't because no you can't listen listen to my
explanation you can't see where the black mamambas are at. You don't know.
I can know where that gorilla is.
That's where he is.
I need to avoid that.
He's away from me.
He's right there.
I could be going to get a sody pop out of a vending machine.
Boom, black mamba in your hand.
Dead.
You know what I mean?
If your agenda is getting sody pops, it's just called soda.
If you're going to a damn machine a machine in the middle of hunting fighting for
your life for 24 hours to get a drink gotta hydrate then you already are you suck you're
already suck at survival you know how you said you can see the gorilla he can see you back and
he is going to end you he is going to end yeah but we are talking about a lowland silverback gorilla
that is nothing to
play with black mama nothing to play with the fact that there's seven of them that sucks exactly
however that gorilla is gonna he's gonna he is going to come after you that gorilla is probably
equivalent to the strength of like i like two like two world-class strongman athletes but listen to me
listen to what i got half thor b johnson like him eddie hall that's what a gorilla is okay but you
would he would grab you and nothing you could do listen though listen to these two scenarios i'm in
h m right i can see why are you shopping you're you're what do you what is your agenda okay i opened the cash
register h&m boom black mama right there are you are you checking someone out is it is there a
15 000 more people in the mall if i'm trapped in a mall trying to survive i'm grabbing what's in
there i'm grabbing the money if you're looting while trying to survive what you are a it's not
looting it's for survival you can buy pack you are You are a simple-minded fool. You are a lunatic.
You are a looting, lunatic loser.
If you looting, lunatic loser Larry is who you are.
If you are trying to get money in soda when there's beasts, a gorilla.
A gorilla.
The gorilla can't hide.
He's not trying to hide.
He's trying to kill you.
No, but what if he's going for a stealth attack?
Then he's going to win.
No, but he can't because he's big.
A black mamba, seven of them.
One comes from the ceiling right now.
Done for.
Done for.
I'm going to be constantly moving.
You go to the bathroom.
You go to the bathroom.
You sit down to take a potty.
Boom, right there.
Mamba on the bottom.
Hey, if it's for my life, I don't have to pee. I'll hold that forever. I said I was sitting though. Forever. You sit when to take a potty boom right there mamba on the bottom hey if I for my life
I don't have to be I'll hold that forever so sitting though forever you sit with your feet
What do you talk in the comfort of my own home if I'm lazy you want to be on my phone sure nasty?
That's it. I don't I'm not doing it
I'm not doing anything
But surviving I'm not eating I'm not drinking not looting. Then you won't make it long.
You'll get tired.
You won't make it long. You'll get the money.
I'm not looting. I'm getting money for survival.
To go buy survival packs.
Oh, because there's just going to be a cashier.
Oh, can't get...
There's a gorilla behind you. I can't give you that, though.
That'll be $50. No one else is in there.
Can we agree on that?
No one else is in the mall.
No, it's you and a silver in there. Can we agree on that? No one else is in the mall. No.
It's you and a silverback gorilla.
Why are you grabbing money?
Maybe for a souvenir after I survive.
You suck.
Because I can survive the gorilla.
I'll survive that easy peasy lemon squeezy.
He would literally grab you and rip your arm off of your body like you were playing with a three-year-old.
He would grab you like I could grab Dragone.
He'd be like this.
But he can't grab me if I know where he's at.
He can't get to me if I know where he's at.
He can't hide.
You can hear boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
coming from a mile away.
He's not going to stop.
Okay, I can hide.
I can run.
I can't run from a black mama that
i don't know where it's at mama's gonna go you can't hear it you can't see it you don't know
where it's at in my mind all seven of them are in a pack are they in a pack no they're separated
they're they're that changes my answer a little bit thank you but thank you i'd still go black
mama we're talking about a a literal. I've never seen someone so...
This goes back to like Chicken and Lion.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
This is a gorilla.
Don't do that.
I've never seen someone so confident in being wrong.
Ditto.
This is a gorilla.
Seven black mambas that you are stealth attacking.
You can't...
You'll never have peace.
Dude.
With a gorilla, you'll have peace.
That's what I'm saying. You can't outrun a never have peace. Dude. With a gorilla, you'll have peace. That's what I'm saying.
You can't outrun a gorilla because you're hip.
First off, what, okay, what are you doing?
But second, the gorilla, like, there's no,
I'm going to run to the other side of the mall and hide
and hope he just gets distracted.
You said they're actively coming after you.
So answer me this.
What is faster, gorilla, snake?
I've never raced them.
Okay, you're about to get hit oh gorilla's faster you
don't know snakes are you you're kidding me you're in a hundred meter dash all right you sane bolt
i've seen fast snakes you're a fast snake you're a snake you're a slimy oh my god
you just comment i hope to okay listen i could be in the mall i'm on the carousel boom
black mamba you can't do anything in peace why are you on the carousel okay but just say i have
free time i don't know but just it's a hypothetical are surviving you are fighting for dear life it's
a hypothetical dude the only shot you have at beating that gorilla is that there's
a gun store in the mall and you break it get the gun get the ammo and you that's the only shot
i think i'm i'm right in this and the people will agree with me it's it's fine to be wrong you're
wrong black mamba is not gonna sit there jump up bite me go 20 30 miles an hour like what are you
doing why are you sniffing yourself?
Why does it smell bad?
Did you bathe?
Are you going to wait to do that in the mall, too, and then you're downtime?
Hit the showers?
When I get anxious, I secrete an odor.
It's like an anxious odor.
Odor.
Yeah, you're secreting the anxious odor.
Are you pissing me off?
You're thinking about a gorilla.
Are you pissing me off?

We started already.
Yeah, it's going.
But why did you fist bump him and not me?
That was, I'm not going to lie, that was kind of shitty.
I literally looked over to make sure you gave him the same, you didn't the way my no no just keep it there let's enjoy it
real quick let's transfer everything the fact that he's going along with it i don't love it
i was expecting like so you know he's like he's like just get the hell off oh no i'll tell you
one thing though when i went to i don't know what the place was called poppy steak or some shit Mm-hmm. Okay, and the guy tried feeding me and I was taking a video and as he was feeding me
I'm like a yo and I stopped the video and I posted on my story
All my followers are just ragging on me like yo, you let a grown man, but I didn't I stopped
What was he trying like how did he was it by hand? Was there a fork involved?
Bro, it was a gloved hand trying to feed me.
That's sick.
That's sick.
I'm not going to lie.
Depending on how good the steak was, might have ate the meat.
Bro, yeah.
He's lucky my security wasn't there.
So, you've been in Dallas for like a day now.
How has your experience in Dallas been so far?
All the way from New York.
Okay.
The flight, you guys don't know? Well, obviously, you do know because of the elevator. You saw me freaking out in the elevator. far, all the way from New York. Okay. The flight, you guys don't know.
Well, obviously you do know because of the elevator.
You saw me freaking out in the elevator.
I have an irrational fear of heights.
Don't know why, but the flight, I was tweaking the whole time.
It was like bouncing.
And then on the landing, as we were descending, the flight went like,
there was some pop like a weird
never hear
never should be a pop
on a plane
weird pop
and it was in the center
right under my seat
oh yeah
grab the oxygen
I looked at him
and I'm like bro
he's like I don't know
he just hit the prayer
that's all you can do
I forgot about it
like two seconds later
he's just like
what the hell is it
I have a bad
plane experience too this was going to be
a story time for another podcast but i'll just say it here in short we're on like not a private
plane but one of those small planes that looks like it holds cargo type type that humans shouldn't
be on like there was no you know the the tube that you walk in to get in the plane no tube
you just walk up it is a bad point you can see the screws holding the seats
how do they secure that real bad bad people are getting on that thing it seems like it was like
built in 1985 and they're just like refurbishing it every two years like it's that kind but i was
nervous a lot of turbulation going on a lot of clouds it was like in and out cloud so you could
see stuff then see nothing no it was my brother's uh first flight ever this was like in and out cloud so you could see stuff then see nothing. It was my brother's first flight ever.
This was like my second or third.
So I was still a little nervous.
My brother has vertigo.
I don't know if you know what that is.
Vertigo?
Yeah, yeah.
So he gets dizzy.
He can't really.
So I was trying to calm him down.
He got real nervous, real anxious.
And I was like, Preston, you got to keep it together.
And then at one point he was in a ball, a grown man in a ball a grown man in a ball and I feel bad because that's my brother
but uh you're also laughing taking a video yo 100% and so the only option that I could think to help
was alcohol yeah but no that sometimes not a good idea yeah it started getting real sick
then the vertigo started to kick in for my brother at one point he waved down flight
attendant flight attendant came asked if the plane was upside down in all seriousness
you could ask me like what do you think is going on you're strapped in like a roller coaster
you're looking out the window and you see the, it's like this, like what are you doing?
So you had a troubling flight, a little shaky, a pop.
Not a little, a pop, there was shaking, there was a pop,
there was a snap crackle pop, not sponsored,
and I don't know, four hours also,
usually Miami's two, two and a half maybe.
But nah, I don't think I'll be back here on the flight.
I'll drive, I'll drive before I fly. Absolutely not. I don't think i'll be back here on the flight i'll drive i'll drive absolutely not i don't even want to go back to jersey seriously you guys don't have it i
don't want to go back he's like no driving like yeah dead serious i will rent a car i don't care
i'll drive back i couldn't do especially at our stature like i just that's i have like a four
hour threshold in a car my hip already got a bad hip hip starts just aching knees it's i gotta get out
just give me the plane if there's if there's if it's a rice crispy plane snap crackle pop
whatever you know as long as i land it's all right no we'll make bad bad hip is an understatement
like we'll be like anywhere every 10 seconds like my hip my hip the fans always is that from being
tall no that's from one, literally one injury from basketball.
You know it's from one injury.
No, his hips are perfectly fine.
He just didn't go for that one.
What about your toe?
Okay, that's just a bad toe.
Yo, I got fucked up toes from jujitsu.
Oh, I can.
I'm not going to show the camera because I charge for that, but they were fucked.
They're like normal toes like this, and the toe is, just like the plane was.
It's twist, both of them, both big toes.
And those are your most important toes.
They are, that's.
The two big toes are the ones you need.
He's spitting facts.
You gotta have the big toe.
We got the toe problem podcast now.
He's got it.
He has a point.
You gotta have the toe.
What good do the other four do?
Yep.
And everybody's asking me too, because I sold a watch, or I bought a watch from a foot doctor.
Okay.
And he was like, oh, you know, the price and a free consultation. And he was like, oh, you know, the price
and a free consultation. And I was like,
yes, please. And everyone
in the comments, yo, Vukom's got
athlete's foot, Vukom's got this.
And I was like, bro, no, my toes just fuck.
Literally.
Did you ever had a bad...
Hold on, we're just on a whole...
Let's explain what you do.
For the people that do not know,
who is Vukom, what do you do?
Tell us about the TikTok following.
I heard you're pretty famous.
Almost.
So, you're 400,000 now, or 406,
but who's counting the exact number, obviously?
406.2, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, no, I have a little following on TikTok.
I started that whole live negotiation trend where, you know, it's two guys.
I'm just doing what I do, but I just added a camera.
There you go.
You know, there's really not much difference between a year and a half ago to now.
The only difference is we have Buckley, young Buckley filming.
So he's doing a fucking fantastic job.
We got to give it up for Buckley.
Yeah, it is.
Shout out to Buckley. shout out for the book but so whenever i found you on tiktok you popped up on my for you page one day and i've never really been into watches because i'm uh what's the word broke
yeah can't you can't afford a watch g-shocks was my go-to maybe an apple watch especially not that
caliber oh no no no so pipe dreams i was just
watching and i don't know what it was it was just so like addicting to watch and then i just got in
a rabbit hole of just watching your stuff i swear and i literally like no dis like this isn't
anything but it's like i was like i just watched nine negotiations it's like and i i will i can't
buy this but i love this and I was like
Just kept going I was like bro. This is this is sick. That's a lot of the comments, too They're like, oh, I'll never buy a watch. I'll never be able to afford a watch, but I'm gonna watch everything
Yeah, every single one dude. It's awesome
It's awesome. Yeah, it's at a point like I
Was texting my dad that we're gonna try and have you on the show and he was like, oh I love his shit
Like I watch it all the time. I was like, I didn't know you had a tick-tock
My friend's grandpa the other day he goes down. He's in the basement his grandpa. That sounded weird
Grandpa comes, you know strolling down waddling down the stairs and he's like, oh you see this guy on tick-tock
He's like, that's my boy. Yeah, he texted me right after I'm like, yeah
Older demographic they all of them love them all so from the beginning how do you go from working in a diner to selling luxury watches yeah all right well i googled you
did that come up on google no just pi yeah okay okay um you know that guy's been following you
a couple things i've seen that man he of ours. Oh, that's you guys?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm not gonna shoot back at you.
There we go, there we go.
No, but, yeah, no, I've always been like, I guess you would call it a hustler, a grinder,
you know.
I don't know, I've always loved money.
I don't know what it is, I've always loved making money, and people think that it's a
passion, that I have a passion for horology, which why like you know watches in the move I would have thought
it was a religion yeah that's yeah some people do or a fear of something yeah
like big toes horology 101 yes but I thought I'd agree it's just I really
enjoy the the hustle or the grind of just going in there and you know turning five dollars in the six and just doing
it on repeat so yeah I was 13 I don't say 13 14 probably probably closer to 13
and I was working a flea market that's when I first got my my first real job
and it was only on Saturdays and Sundays it was for a Hasidic guy named Raymond
so he would drive from Brooklyn every day
to this Jersey flea market
and he sold mirrors
and like cabinets
and heavy shit.
Okay.
So what I would do
is I would go there
at 6.30, 7 a.m.
I'd have my dad drive me
and my dad's not Buckley
by the way.
I know I'm breaking
the internet by saying that.
Exclusive.
It was an ass
headline.
Oh my God.
Buckley not father. my dad would drive me you
would drop me off I'd be in this flea market with crackheads ex-cons all walks
of life oh no bro you all watch you haven't lived till you worked in a flea
market at 14 13 years oh god I can only but yeah so I started that was my first
real job
was the flea market and it was for the guy named raymond and i would unload the truck in the
morning watch all of his shit during the day and get paid sell shit get paid and then pack it all
back up into the truck at not night it was probably like 4 p.m is when when I got out. And then he'd pay me and he'd drive off.
And I would do that twice a weekend for probably a year.
From there, I went to this guy named Dwayne.
Dwayne was a big black guy and still my boy from this day.
I'm 14, 15 years old at this point. I walk up to him up to I'm like yo like I see you're
hustling these you know these beats that he was selling beats and iPhones and
phone cases and I'm like can I work for you because I didn't want to be lifting
shit anymore I was like a one year in 14 years old I'm already fed up my back my
backs just given out I need yeah so get up. So he's like, hell yeah, man.
Like, whatever.
Come through.
So he's like, you want to work now?
I'm like, fuck, sure.
So he's like, cool.
Sits me down.
He's like, all right, watch my shit.
Just met him.
He's like, watch my shit.
I'm like, okay.
Didn't ask him what he was going to pay me.
Didn't give a shit.
So he comes back.
And he's like, okay, this is what we're doing here.
And he's basically
just showing me like how to buy and sell phones. And from that point for, so I was like 17, I was
working for him or with him too, because you know, he was teaching, he taught me a lot about how to
run a business and how to operate things and go out there and buy an iPhone, sell an iPhone. So
that's how I made money when i was younger
obviously i worked other jobs because you can't work a real job yeah uh in jersey i think it's
until you're six no yes isn't that the same here i think 16. okay yeah so then my next job was at
a day camp i would work at a this this is where it gets nuts like this is like okay tyler's a
hustler i was working at a day camp during the day um in the summertime i would work at this this is where it gets nuts like this is like okay tyler's a hustler i was working
at a day camp during the day um in the summertime i would work at a day camp uh then i would go to
actually that bleep that name out okay that's the company that's the they were an indoor amusement
park right and um i worked there from 6 p.m to 11 p.m so i would go to the camp and worked there from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
So I would go to the camp and work there from, I think it was 8 until 4.30.
Then I would go from 6 to 11 and work at this indoor amusement park.
I'm not saying your name.
And then on the weekends, I would go to the flea market and work with Dwayne.
So at that point, I was 16 years old. Just grinding.'s insane right up that's dope you know I don't know why I don't I really don't know why I wanted money so
bad but you know I didn't grow up poor right usually like that I feel like that
would be the effect of someone who grew up poor they would want to to really get
their money yeah like switch up get switch up, get a different life, have a different life. I didn't grow up rich though. Like I grew up just regular
middle class. Um, so that's, that's my story. And then after that summer, that was the summer
going into my senior year of high school. So after that summer, I got a job as one of the camp
kids that I had loved me so he had his mom contact
me and she wanted me to babysit him so I was babysitting this little shit
babysitting this kid from I would get out of school I could drive at this
point I would get out of school I would drive over to to his house he was
probably ten minutes away from my high school and I would drive over to his
house babysit the kid for like three hours.
After that, I would head over to a diner where I worked at.
Not going to mention the name.
No free clout today.
There you go.
It was in Marlboro, New Jersey.
Okay.
And I worked at the diner.
And from there, actually, I liked them there.
The Marlboro Diner is what it's called.
Shout out to y'all.
Yeah, no, you guys can leave that in.
If you're in Marlboro, New Jersey, they'relboro diner is what it's called. Shout to y'all. Yeah, no that you guys leave that in if you're in Marlboro
New Jersey, they're a great diner
Now it's next to it's next to like a motel where they just sell massive amounts of coke nice
And you know you get the fucking freaks walking in and out. Yeah, can I get a burger? Yeah?
You're like all right guy
You're just vibing and you're working with crackheads, which is you know, oh, this is a good story. Actually. I can't tell this story
Okay, girl
I'm trying to think can I tell it? No, I can't
but yeah, so I was working with you know guys who were doing drugs and shit and
From that in the flea market is just you see like all walks of life. Yeah young age. It's pretty cool
So you kind of get good experience?
So I was doing the babysitting head head over to the diner and then from the diner
I would get home probably around 11 p.m. Again same as it was
And then the markets on the weekends, but the flea markets when I was a senior in high school
I was doing my own thing so my phone's anymore. I
Think I did a little bit in the in the beginning of senior year but it was more so I would go around and buy clothes for like
10 cents 10 cents apiece and I'd buy hundreds of them and I'd bring them into
the flea market in my dad's truck in the Jeep and yeah I would bring him in the
trunk of the Jeep I'd get a table I a table. I'd put like a nice little cloth on that shitty fucking table in the flea market.
And I would just lay them out.
I'd make it look as shitty as possible because people think that they're getting a bargain.
Right.
And I would scream all day.
Dollar clothes, dollar clothes, $1, T-shirts, there's socks, there's shorts, sweatpants, whatever.
There was all different types of clothes there.
So, you know, that was, I was literally turning 10 cents into a dollar at that point.
Dude, and that, see, that right there is what people like, so many of like the younger generation now
think they have to go straight to like making $200 a sale, $500.
I'm like, dude, you don't even know, like this man just said he was getting 900 profit margins yeah he's spending a dime getting a dollar and you think like you have to
go straight to making a thousand on a single sale i'm like that's like that right there that's genius
and that's just work ethic and literally nose down grinding that was helping me pay because
at that point uh i got a h got a Honda Honda Civic dude shout out
civics yes civics are what we could leave that in there not sponsored but
civics are fucking dope but yeah no so you know I bought a civ I didn't buy it
I had to lease it under my mom's name so it was paying for the civic because my
mom was paying for like on paper and I would just give her the cash every month
plus the insurance so dude from actually no at that point my mom might have covered the
insurance but i was going to pay for the the lease itself which was probably 250 a month or 220 plus
gas and i would use that to get back and forth to work so from shorts shirts socks like that's
that's what's insane that's what people don't understand. Like, bro, you, if you really have it in you, you'll find anything to do to do it like that. And that's how I know, like,
this man is grinding till two jobs till 11 PM. Dude, I was playing Call of Duty. Like when at
that age, I was just like, I'd get out of school. I'd go play a good time in high school though.
Yeah. So back to your, to the business that you're in now, I know it's a raging question is what is a Vukom? Where did you get a
Vukom from? What is a Vukom? I love that question. So I was 19 years old. Okay. And I had to think
of a new name for this business. So I sat down on a laptop, drunk. go no seriously this is how I had to do it I
had to be creative so I sat down at a laptop by myself in an office that I was
paying for and 19 years old high overhead I was an idiot so I had to
think of a new name so I'm sitting down like thinking of random words the
purpose of this is I didn't want when you google Vukom Back then nothing was coming up. Mm-hmm, right? So I said I want to get something I want to get a name that
Nothing's gonna just me a high high SEO high search engine optimization. Yep
There's one Vukom and it's gonna be me exactly you could you know, you could look up some
Random watch company. It's like oh
You know flipping time yeah somebody if somebody's called flipping time i'm sure there is i'm sure there is
but yeah like if you if you looked it up nobody knows what that is um genius again yeah so
i just you know i sat down and i'm just looking shit up and
you know one random word i'm not using a random word generator but that's what i was gonna ask
so no this was all out of the nugget yeah so it was you know just
type it in something came up like fuck something else something came up and then i'm
just like voodoo and i'm like voocum and i'm like where did that come from type it in nothing's
coming up nothing so i'm like that's like that's sick yeah that's crazy though like just voocum
like i okay sounds good though it's no it. It sounds real. It is now obviously, but even
just Vukom, it sounds like a thing. Does that make sense? Can you make a definition of Vukom
on the show right now? Make a definition of Vukom. Off the top. Off the dome. Off the dome.
Watch flipping. There you go. There you go. Vukom. Webster's will be hitting you up.
Yeah. Hold on. Can someone make a definition of Vukom for me, please? Anybody? There you go what voocum so websters will be we'll be hitting you up yeah can someone hold on can
someone make a definition of voocum for me please like anybody there you go please
that's your job please make it happen so when did you get the idea to do what your daily job
was flipping watches that's what you were doing when When did you get the idea? Oh, yeah. We had to transition into that.
It didn't just happen.
Okay.
So, okay.
This is a new story in its own.
So, you know, senior year, I'm doing three different things at once, right?
And the year is approaching to an end fast.
I'm applying for colleges because, you know, my parents, they really wanted me to go to college. I was going to be the first person in my family to graduate college. I was going to be the first person in my family to graduate college. But, um, so I'm applying to colleges. I get
accepted to probably like two or three out of five of them that I applied to. Um, I ended up
going to this place called Stockton university. But before I get there, we have summertime.
And I was like, you know, I'm really, as we're approaching the summer, I'm like, I don't really want to go to college.
I do not want to go to college.
I do not want to work for somebody.
I do not want, I just didn't want to.
You know, no hate on people who do.
It's just, I can't do it.
I cannot sit at a desk in an office and smile at people I don't like.
And I don't like and the small office talk
is just like and watch everything you say and all this shit so I it just
wasn't for me so I ended up you know I hit up Buckley's dad at the time it was
I should probably like get into how I met him first yeah so how did who is
Buckley and how'd you meet him?
Cause he's one of the, like, he's a fan favorite.
Yeah, of course.
Everybody loves Buckley.
Yeah.
Who is he and how'd you meet him?
So that's John Buckley of Tuscany Rose.
And he is a watch trading company as well.
He mainly focuses on parts though.
So watch parts, dials, bezels, bracelets, that type of stuff.
A dial is basically just a face of a watch for anybody who doesn't know.
So that is what he's done for the past 25 years, something like that before I was born.
Yeah.
Very, very, very.
Goated.
He is the top dog in the industry as far as knowledge goes.
That's awesome.
But yeah, so I'm trying to think.
I met James Buckley. James Buckley is the son of trying to think. I met James Buckley.
James Buckley is the son of John Buckley.
I met James Buckley.
I was taking a shit.
Seriously, this is a story.
I was seven or eight years old.
I was taking a shit in elementary school.
And I'm taking a shit.
And I guess I forgot to lock the fucking stall door
because some motherfucker just comes walking in.
James Buckley.
Yeah.
And I'm just taking a shit. door because some motherfucker just comes walking in and he's James Buckley
and I'm just taking shit so he just turns around and like that was weird so then finish finish wiping my ass and you know yeah he had to make sure that that
everyone know that he finished i did wipe my ass
contrary to popular belief no the rumors are spreading but yeah so wipe my ass wash my hands
obviously and i leave didn't see the kid again for probably two or three days and then i'm just
like oh you walked in on me taking a shit and he's like yeah and I'm like cool and then we somehow became friends obviously I
was eight so or seven my memory is just foggy um but yeah so then started hanging out with him on
play dates they would call them yeah I had a lot of those play dates it was a great time I remember
going over to his house right the first time and you know we're hanging out we're playing video
games we're hanging out whatever and you know his mom, Josephine, is very, very, very nice,
and she started making me chicken tenders and mac and cheese.
I don't know why, but it was lit.
And I was in my glory, I was having a blast.
And I was saying thank you, and I guess I was really polite
because when my parents came to pick me up,
she was like, oh, your son is so polite, whatever.
And then my parents and Josephine started talking, And then I guess John came home from work. Uh,
and then they just became friends. So from there, that's how I met James Buckley. And that's how I
met John Buckley too. Okay. Yeah. And then obviously, you know, the years go on and they're
family friends at this point. So yeah. How impactful was buckley to your career now oh extremely yeah yeah
very very impactful um obviously without him i wouldn't be doing watches at all uh i know i'd
be doing something yeah that didn't involve working for anyone i knew i know i would i'd be
doing you know a social media marketing agency which i could get into that that was a failed
business of mine when i was 18 or 19 years old um but yeah without buckley there would be no voogum so
big shout out to buckley so how so what what was the like when did it become instead of buckley
just being in your corner helping you guidance and stuff when did it switch to watches like when did
you express that like you know i can jump back to the story
so college is fast approaching i get accepted i say yes to stockton university like i'm some
basketball player i accept this scholarship yeah so uh summer is approaching it's probably around
may or june and school in jersey doesn't end until june 15th June 20th, like that. So I'm like, yo, Buck, I'm like, we got to do something here.
I'm not feeling school.
I know I don't want to go to school.
And I know that, you know, I know you're a successful entrepreneur and I want to just come shadow you, come work for you.
And he's like, sure.
Hell yeah.
So I started going to the city with him during that summer.
At first, it's a lot of, you know, go get a coffee, go get us a coffee, go get us this
food, go take this watch and bring it to this guy, go grab money from that guy, bring it
to me, go pick up a check, go drop a check off in the bank, whatever.
And then towards the end of the summer, he would give me a watch.
And I always mention this $1,900 ladies Datejust watch because this is the first watch I ever
made money on.
He gives me a $1,900 ladies Datejust watch because this is the first watch I ever made money on he gives me a
$1,900
Ladies Datejust a steel ladies Datejust and he's like get me 1900
I don't care what you sell for go sell it for more. So my cool take the watch
I go one exchange an exchange is
Just one big building with probably 20 different businesses inside and they're all watch dealers or jewelers okay diamond dealers so I walk up to one guy hey the next guy
next guy and you know just went down the line silly nobody wanted it next
building and there is I don't know how many different buildings on the street
47th Street so you know finally I hit somebody and I'm like yo give me you
know $2,100 for this thing he's like no I'll give you 18 and then we just you
know negotiated obviously and we got to 1950 so he gave me 1950 bring it back to
Buckley and I'm like this is what I got he's like okay i told you you know 1900 you keep your 50. okay cool next watch uh um a president head a president a president 1803
president head i just remember now it's just i just remember this okay but let's do it that was
the second watch i sold he's like get me six grand i'm like cool walking around the street do the
exact same process sell it make 200 bucks, sell it, make 200 bucks.
Sell it for 6,200, make 200 bucks.
I'm like, yeah, I'll watch you.
Yeah.
And then... This is real.
Yeah, it was real.
And then the summer ended.
Just like that.
I'm like, fuck.
So I remember going to dinner with him and Little Buckley,
and I'm like, yeah, I know I'm dropping out.
I'm going for a three-week vacation.
And I'm going for a semester for a vacation.
I don't even know why I'm still going. He's like, yeah, listen know I'm dropping out. I'm going for a three-week vacation. I'm going for a semester for a vacation. I don't even know why I'm still going.
He's like, yeah, listen, the college isn't for everybody,
but we're always here if you want to come back.
So I went to college, had a great time for three weeks.
I walked down to the front desk.
I'm like, yo, I want to drop out.
They're like, oh, God, are you serious?
They're like, oh, what's wrong?
They're panicking.
I'm like, bro, I want to drop out. I don't want to be here. They're like, what's wrong they're panicking i'm like bro i want to drop
out i don't want to be here okay fine go to this place i'm like fine i go i want to drop out okay
you owe four or five thousand i don't know forty five hundred we'll call it on your student loan
how are you paying it do you want to take payments every month i'm like no here give
my debit card boom pay it wiped clean that
was all my money i had at the time so i was like fuck so then i called my mom up i'm like yo i just
dropped out she's like what i'm like i'm like yo i just dropped out she's like get the fuck out of
here and then i heard i heard my dad oh is that todd and my mom's like yeah he just dropped out
of school and my dad's going fucking berserk and
i'm like oh fuck i don't want to go home yeah can't go home so they picked me up and the car
ride back was very silent i bet i was like oh god just looking out the window just yeah
i like that building yeah so we get home and obviously after a couple days they just accepted
it and you know they were they were you know, never doubtful of what I was going to do.
They were very supportive of, you know, like, okay, I get it.
So that's the story of how I got out of college.
And then from there, you know, it's probably around November time,
I try to go back into the city with Buckley.
And I'm just, for some reason, I'm just not feeling it it was just it's a lot of nose and you
know you get turned down all day long it's like fuck like maybe it maybe this
isn't for me let me go try this so I leave I go try something else go try
something else and I'm still kind of dabbling in the watches and jewelry like
very very minor not you know you're not making you know thousand dollars a month but maybe like 500 bucks a month or 200 bucks on a like
just for this or whatever so at this point some guy tried recruiting me for
some multi-level marketing scheme not gonna name it I'm doing that I'm
delivering pizzas at night making probably like a hundred bucks a night
with that that was decent like just to keep me afloat pay my gas and shit and my car bill
but yeah, so that happened and then
Think oh and then I got a real job like where you have to dress up
Probably around March. I want to say March. We have to dress up
So I learned a lot of shit.
It was a cold calling agent.
It was a marketing agency, yeah.
And I ended up, for some reason,
I had some sick fuck talent of just cold calling.
And I became number two in the whole company.
I got promoted within two months.
All these older heads were hating on me
because they were working there for pennies.
Yeah, 20 years and they can't even,
you just walk right in.
Yeah, that is.
There were people there 10 years, 5 years, 20 years and they can't even, you just walk right in. No, yeah, that is. There were people there 10 years,
five years, 15 years,
and they're still working the same position
that I just got promoted from.
Damn.
So they're like,
look at this little 19 or 18 year old shithead
that just walked up in here.
You're psyched.
Yeah.
And then from there,
I was like, okay,
I have this talent of cold calling,
you know,
fuck working for someone.
I am going to try to
do this on my own. I'm going to open up a social media marketing agency. Well, that was short lived.
I did that. I was really, really good at getting sales. Like I was a sicko. I'm like,
on the phone, I set the in-person meeting so I could show them what I can do for them.
I would show them my results because I was doing it for some real estate agents at the time and you know
The results I was getting a lot of leads, but I guess they weren't quality leads
So clients just started dropping off dropping off
Okay, and then you know what it didn't it never really fully failed
It just got very slow and I'm just like, you know what? Fuck it. Let's try watches again
And then i call
buck live i'm like yo i'm committed here we're doing this like i am not going to stop until i
make breach doing this and then we start and that's yeah that was probably three years ago that
that i had that conversation with him like yo i'm coming back okay when did you decide to make the
decision to do the live negotiations on tikt When did you make that? Okay.
So the whole business is very, you know, very sketchy.
Not sketchy, but I don't want to make it sound like that.
But either these guys don't want their faces on camera for obvious reasons or, you know,
some other people don't want for, you know,
just for safety reasons.
You know, there's a whole lot of a lot of shit that goes
into it but um i just i started filming picture uh videos of watches i'd take the watch like this
and i'd film it and i'd be like pov you're you're buying this watch for your sister for for 9500
dollars and i would take another watch pov you're buying this and they were just POV videos of just nine second clips of a watch
Just like this. Okay, and I was like POV and I would make like outrageous statements
Yeah, you're buying this after your sister fucking beat the shit out of you
And you want to apologize? Yeah, some stupid shit and you know that got me probably like a thousand followers and then from there
I'm like, okay
How can we make this better started doing like these short clips with music in the background that hype music like
15 second clips of just my day so it'd be like me driving a car and then like
me in the city walking and then you know a watch and a watch and a fist bump and
then that would be it yeah those did okay and that got me probably to four or five thousand followers and
then i'm like how could we really make this interesting just next level i was like what
are we doing every day that we could just you know add a camera to and i'm just like let's film one
of my negotiations so i remember buying the first one i ever did. I was buying a white aftermarket dial day trust, two-tone day trust.
And Buckley's like, all right, let's do it.
Well, James, and he just starts filming.
And that was the first video that one probably got.
Well, it actually got taken down first.
For what?
Illegal activities and illegal goods.
Was it on TikTok?
They got taken down?
Yeah, see, TikTok does that.
Yeah. Well, actually tick-tock does that? Yeah
so yeah, well actually somebody commented some shit and
I used to go back and forth with the comments because I didn't know that they had that much power they could just click a
Button and like report this is like if you have smaller audience if you if you're a bigger account that won't work
Yeah, I learned that because now I go back
But yeah, if you have like 10,000 20,000 followers
All they have to do is just click they get like
five of their friends to report one video that video is gone yeah i got back though uh so yeah
it started blowing up i posted at probably 8 p.m and by 11 p.m i think it had like 50 000 views
at that time i was like oh i'm famous yeah so we made it and then that one ended up getting to like
1.5 mil or two mil fuck so then i just okay that worked. Yeah, so let's do it again
Yeah, rinse repeat again do it again do it again. And like I said, we're doing this shit
Anyway, you might as well just film it fuck it. So did you so did you have the same amount of volume?
Before the camera or like once you started putting it on tick tock did
Like opportunities and more negotiations like started presenting himself?
Yeah, so a lot of the business is done online
and it involves shipping.
So it's mostly over FaceTime calls, mostly over,
well for us at least, because we're remote.
We go into the city once or twice, maybe twice, maybe,
but usually once a week.
And you know, it's, it's just not going to lie.
I just completely lost my train of thought.
I love it.
Um, what was the question again?
So did TikTok bring you more?
Oh, that was it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like I said, once you started posting, it's all through Facebook groups and, and,
uh, WhatsApp groups, it's all online. It's all through Facebook groups and WhatsApp groups, Telegram, like that.
And that's how I was doing business.
And then when I would go to the city, I would sell shit to the same 5, 10, 20 people.
No, not 20, 15.
Same people pretty much every time you're selling watches to.
But I was really just buying them online.
Once in a while, I'd buy in the city.
But once I started
posting people wanted to be in videos more so I guess in order to be in a
video they would have to do a deal with me so they would have to say yes yeah
that leverages there you go yeah and they would always make it interesting
which was awesome it was like a natural thing they knew like that that to get
views there had to be a back and forth it can't just be like here's what deck
okay yeah in video yeah we just go back and forth and they're they're all great on 47th Street
They're all they all
Got it. They all understood task at hand
And you know, that's dope one of my boys Mike on the street
He'll he'll be walking people recognize him from my videos and he then he then other people in his exchange started
like noticing like guys would come in like oh you're the guy and okay and then they would be
like yo they would hit me up like yo like can we do a video but yeah sure and do it with them and
then it just snowballed but that's the thing so since you're i guess clout i guess that's the
word we use since your clout has gone up from tix like everybody knows you as the luxury watch dealer has that brought a security issue because i'm assuming that if
everybody in new york or new jersey everybody knows who you are and what you do i would be
kind of like yeah well we always had security before this uh as far as in the on 47th street
okay but uh now yes we do have armed guards with us when we're traveling in. We don't even carry
shit with us. We have no inventory
with us. It's just that
I guess maybe people think that we might have
a watch on. Like right now, I'm wearing
this absolute dog shit Datejust.
And it's only
because I'm on here.
No, it's only because I'm on the podcast
that I wore a watch. Everyone knows I do not wear watches.
You know, if I'm out, I don't want someone coming up to me like,
go on, I love that watch.
You're the watch guy.
You know, I want people to know that I don't wear watches.
If you want to rob me, you're robbing my $100 Hulu Lemon.
These things are fire, though.
I'll connect them.
These things, Hulu Lemon, bro, you guys are doing something right.
Imagine getting robbed for your britches. Like're just walking around naked drop them nah but um you know
i feel like anybody who's been watching and they want to rob they they know that there's nothing
to rob and that it's actually more of a risk for themselves if you get if you get what i'm saying
yes yeah so try it if you want to yeah yeah but don't but don't yeah please don't i mean yeah that's
that's awesome i got this just popped up i was watching i'm scared of buckley a little bit
really he seems like an angel of a dude i've always been like such a nice guy i saw one
negotiation it wasn't a negotiation this kid came in with like i think it was an ap and it was fake no it was not
even that some dude it was a y'all doing a negotiation and it was he said something about
fake money oh and he dropped the prop yeah it was a problem he said fuck out of here no prop money
over here and i saw buckley turn up like that and i was like oh yeah I'm scared that guy so that yeah that guy I don't know what the fuck he
was thinking that was a stupid thing to say to Buckley yeah you know that's
gonna set him off yeah I didn't know we had money on him either I don't know if
you've seen the video it was Tommy literally do negotiations ever get too
heated to where you don't post them yeah you have to like cut the
camera yeah and like i said a lot of the business that we're doing these guys don't want to be on
camera so you know you're only seeing a small percentage of deals really being done so sometimes
you get these fucking idiots in my comments that are like oh how could you live off selling that
one watch to that one person and I'm
like it's like come on I'm just like yeah you're right it's a how about we
how about we think use this yeah well yeah so yeah dude so do you okay so
another weird question we're gonna switch from the heated negotiation parts
okay if you had to tell so say say someone's watching this, they don't want to watch, and like you said, you don't wear them personally.
But if you could recommend a style of watch or even for someone's first watch, silver, gold, whatever it might be,
what for you would be like, this is just a good staple watch to start your collection that you could just wear?
That's the watch.
This is a 16-013 Datejust. It's a quick set two-tone Datejust with a plastic crystal. I would suggest this or
a 16-014, which is the steel version of this. It's all steel. Those are the two watches I would
recommend for someone who's looking to buy their first watch. Price points under $5,500,500 under 5,000. Um, I think they're great watches. I just say,
listen, get a 16, two, three, three date just, which is just a newer version of that one or get
a 16 Oh one, three date. Just if you like two tone, if you don't like two tone, I don't like
two tone shit. I don't like it. I don't know why. So I wear a steel. Um, if you want a steel watch,
you get a 16, two, three, four, or that's the newer version of the 16 Oh one four.
It probably sounds like I'm speaking in fucking I feel like I'm in there video
like they're like they're coding right now they're open new tab and they're
looking up like what the fuck's going on how is the how's the fame been how many
times you get stopped well if you call it fame but oh you're famous well last
night was a little weird my boy Nick tell this story? Yeah, we're going out. I went out with my boy Nick over there and Peyton,
and then we met some DJs.
He started bringing us around everywhere.
So that was cool.
And then he has security.
He hires private security for us.
I'm like, oh, shit, I like this guy.
So, yeah, we're walking around from bar to bar,
and it's like, oh, hello, you're the watch guy.
Let me get a picture.
I'm like, my ego is just getting more and more inflated.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
I like Texas. I like it. I like Texas. I more inflated right i'm like yeah yeah i like i

and i will pepper spray someone like there we go i know to watch on it when someone's when i see
someone walking up on me too hot,
like you're a millisecond away from fucking flailing around.
Burn.
Watch it.
But one more step.
Take that last step.
Bro.
Yeah.
How do you feel?
Because I don't know if this is a fair thing to say.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but you are the face of watch negotiations on TikTok.
Is that fair to say?
Yes. Buckley and I. How do you feel about this new community of TikTok watch resellers?
Yeah. I've mixed opinions. I have, you know, I'm glad that I inspired people to go out there and
try and sell watches. I think that's awesome and you know if you
want to go try to make money flipping watches go out there be my guest you
know but I don't know I don't like I don't like the people copying my video
style you know it's like you could do it you're not gonna ever catch up yeah but
you know it's just like I guess it's annoying I don't know they say what's that saying what's the thing you copy someone it's just like, I guess it's annoying. I don't know. They say, what's that saying?
What's the thing where you copy someone, it's the most sincere form of fucking flattery?
Oh, flattery.
That sounded good.
Yeah, no, I don't agree with that.
Don't copy my shit.
Don't copy my fucking shit.
No, you know, there's some fucking guy on TikTok too.
Oh, yeah, let me hear it.
He's like, oh, this is the day in the life of a watch dealer in New York City it's like that's my fucking yeah you're like
you're like that's me I do business with you don't do that yeah so yeah that's
gotta be Erky like yeah oh I kick him out of my groups I put him back in just
to fuck with him because I have I have a lot of groups now I started off the
Facebook group Buckley and I started it.
What the hell was that?
Yeah, it's Armageddon.
Okay.
He's over here clutching on the fucking iron.
So, yeah, no.
But, yeah.
I started with Buckley.
He's over here laughing.
Like it's a joke.
Yeah, I started a group with Buckley.
Back when I first started selling watches, we started a group.
I'm like, yo, let's start a watch trading group.
He's like, no, that's never going to work.
There's fucking thousands of them.
I'm like, we're doing it.
He's like, all right.
So I started off Facebook, and I make the group, and I had my guys.
He had his guys.
Within a week, we had like 500 members.
It was popping.
Everyone loved it, I guess because of the name um but it was popping off and from there it was just you know just build up build up build up
then maybe a year and a half later we started a whatsapp group for only vetted guys vetted as in
like you have a tax id this is your full-time business watch trading um you know so those
guys are in the whatsapp group and the whats group is fucking pop. Shout out to the WhatsApp group. Shout out to the WhatsApp group. Uh,
we also started a telegram group and we started this thing back two months ago. We have, I
gotta check cause I don't even know. We got like a lot of members, 1200 maybe. Damn. Jeez.
Yeah. We have 1200 and that's going to be linked in the bio. If y'all want to join that,
it's going to be linked right here.
1,217 members.
That's a lot of business.
Here's the purpose of the Telegram group.
So, you know, our DMs are just getting flooded.
Y'all, how do I go and buy a watch?
Can I come work for you?
You know, can I get an internship?
I will up and leave my family in Europe heartbeat if you say you're up take I will take my last
dollar and and get a flight to New York and be homeless to seriously I'm gonna go through my
dms that's wild so you have those people right you also have the people that are like hey I'm
looking for this watch this particular. I don't have it.
Buckley doesn't have it.
You can't keep every watch in the world on hand, right?
We would source that particular watch from the same people that we put into this Telegram group,
the same known dealers that have been doing this for just as long,
some of them just as long as Buckley.
So we put everyone into this group, right?
We added our dealers in, and we just put the link in our body.
Like, listen, if you, if you want to learn how to do this, if you want to learn how to flip watches, click the link, click the link.
Stop DMing me.
I'm not going to see you and explain to you obviously how to flip watches.
I wish I could.
If you want me to, it's $20 a month.
Cancel any time.
Click the link.
Just click the link and pay the $20 a month. Right. Cancel any time. Click the link. Just click the link and pay the $20.
The best is the people that are like, yo, like I said, I'll up and move my whole family.
It's like, how much is that going to cost you?
$10,000?
Yeah.
$20,000?
Just pay $20.
Yeah.
And see if this is even for you.
Learn it.
Yeah.
Because you don't even know.
That's like some of your passion.
I appreciate the blind faith,
but it's like,
pump the brakes a little bit, buddy.
These people think I'm making like $10 million a month profit.
I don't know why they think that.
I'm not, obviously.
I wouldn't be dressed like this.
I have a question.
Shout out to Lulu, though.
I have a personal question
that you don't have to answer.
Wait, wait.
Can I show my vans?
Yeah, actually, please.
These are my vans, okay?
Those have been through war.
Those look like...
These things have seen some shit.
Do those look like $10 million a month vans?
Do these look like $10 million a month vans?
No, they're not.
What is the...
You don't have to answer this, and we can cut this question out.
Off of what you're doing, what's the most you've made in a month?
Yeah, let's cut that one out.
I'll tell you guys though.
Okay.
Shit!
Shit!
And then off the telegram group we have,
I could add that in.
Shit!
Shit!
So what is the most,
either profit you've made off a single negotiation or what was the most expensive watch you sold?
I'll go based on profit.
Okay.
I made one watch.
But the reason I always bring this one up,
because, again, you could always go buy a $90,000 watch
and sell it for $90,000 watch and sell it for you know 98 but I like this one because I paid
17,000 ish for it sold it for I don't know like something like that it was some crazy shit like
that um and yeah that was just the most memorable one because it was just the margin like the
percentage wise it's, I'm sorry.
It's a horrid night.
No, we got critters in here.
What the hell was that?
They're my friends.
We have an arachnid up here, too.
That's Jim.
The arachnid.
The what?
The arachnid right there at the top.
Right?
You see it?
It's Jim.
We just saw that.
Yeah, I'm freaking out.
No, yeah, we're...
He waved.
We like to have critters around here.
Yeah, no, the fly, if you can just kill him.
I mean, you're not the Kung Fu Kid,
but...
Do you have any chopsticks?
Yeah, I was about to say,
just grab him straight out of there.
We had a period in the studio.
Dude, it was like two episodes back to back.
I'm going to go on a limb
and say it was the same fly.
Like, he was just torturing us at this point.
He was an asshole,
and I don't know what his motive was,
but it was really annoying.
So the YSK budget doesn't allow exterminators?
Doesn't include, yeah, no exterminators, nothing.
Yeah, it's awful.
I actually like, well, because I'm, well.
I thought you were about to say you like flies.
I was going to hit you.
I was going to run.
I was going to swim.
Well, you know what?
Appreciate y'all.
Earlier in the podcast, before you got here,
I did talk about my love for squirrels.
Oh, yeah, you did.
You did. I would like to my love for squirrels. Oh
I would like to have I would like to have a pet squirrel
What like please just please I'm I'm not gonna be biased. What are your thoughts on that? Just true thoughts a pet squirrel. Yeah
well, I Know that their bites hurt. Don't ask me how to say, how do you know?
It's not like getting bit by a cat or a dog.
Like they're going for blood.
Yeah.
It is bad.
They latch on and they shake.
So I would be careful.
Yeah, but I would name him Peter and we would have a relationship.
I like that.
If you were to raise him from birth, you know, and milk him, I think. Or her.
And it.
And almond milk.
Or that.
Or it.
Almond milk?
Because you know they like nuts already?
Come on, squirrel.
You got to know your squirrels.
Come on.
But yeah, so I think that if you raised it from birth, I think you'd be okay.
Probably.
Well, earlier I got killed for, I said I had a deep connection with a squirrel that I met
on a tree.
We looked at each other.
It was something there.
I'm telling you. You said you hadn't felt that stare in a while.
You deserve it.
That makes it sound like I'm out here doing weird stuff.
I just felt something nice with the squirrels.
Yeah, with the squirrels.
I need honesty on this question.
This is a question that, no, like real honesty.
Here we go.
I'm a big Dave Portnoy guy.
Huge Dave Portnoy guy.
Love El Presidente. Shout out to you, Dave. Love his videos. Huge Dave Portnoy guy. Love El Presidente.
Shout out to you, Dave.
Love his videos.
The pizza videos, the best.
Great.
Now, in the watch community,
there's been a lot of hatred spewing at Dave recently
because he started a watch company called,
I think it's called Brick Watch Company.
And a lot of people have been saying,
ah, you're scamming people.
You're selling a cheap watch for expensive numbers.
Simply because of the name. How do you feel about Dave Portnoy's new watch company? saying, ah, you're scamming people. You're selling a cheap watch for expensive numbers.
Because the name.
How do you feel about Dave Portnoy's new watch company, honestly?
Honestly, I don't know enough about it to even know. Oh!
I swear to God.
I don't look.
I don't care.
There you go.
So it's like, business-wise, cool, I guess.
I've seen people talk about it, but I kind of just scroll past it.
Okay.
You couldn't even be bothered by it?
No, literally.
It's like, could care less.
I feel a follow-up question coming over here.
I have a video that brings out all the intricacies of the watch.
Okay.
I'm thinking about playing it and then having you think how you feel about the watch company.
Like a live reaction.
Like a live reaction I got a reaction
Go for it. Let's hear in the meantime. I'm hit you with a little a three-part little New York little New York question, okay?

noises and people
and then when I sweat
I get anxious sweats
like right now
if you were to feel me
if you want to feel my pit

that just
the fact that he's doubling
I'm used to him like freaking out I was joking with shit test because I'll feel your pit. Please don't feel my pit. Oh, okay. The fact that he's doubling down, I'm used to him freaking out.
I was joking with shit testing because I'll feel your pit.
I don't give a fuck.
He said, I'm real.
Straight up.
That's it.
I'm so sweaty right now.
He's a sicko.
Are you sweaty like that?
Oh, my God.
You don't look sweaty.
He's an ancient.
Yeah, it's because of thick turtle.
He's got it covered.
He's got essentials on it.
That's fire.
Thank you.
Oh, I was expecting to see you in that OVO hoodie
Yeah, they want they all want to see me dripped out
But uh, he said this is the real VUCA. He said this is VUCA if you see me
Maybe if I'm out I'll wear like something fresh
But you know if you see me out like most of time just when I slept like this was a fucking stretch for me
Put these things on those are far, but they're just comfortable. They're almost like sweatpants
I usually wear sweatpants in a hoodie you put the hood up nobody knows it's me i just walk
they're like was that a homeless guy or was that tyler so do you okay do you like of course you
love like you said earlier you love all your fans no matter if they send you annoying dms
no matter whatever you love them all it's lit but i don't even call them fans i still feel like
family family following anything it's not because like i'm like one of those guys like those cliche guys like no you guys in the family no it's i i just doesn't doesn't feel like I don't have fans. Family following anything? No, no, no. It's not because I'm like one of those guys. Like those cliche guys.
Like, no, you guys are my family.
No, it just doesn't feel like they're fans.
They're just following me.
They're just stalkers.
I'm just kidding.
But like, do you, so like you said,
sweatpants, hoodie on, hood up, and you can just walk.
Do you ever like try to do that?
If you know what I mean?
Like if say you got to go out and get you a chop cheese,
like you're like, I really just don't like not in this a disrespectful way to them but like you're just like I really just want this
sandwich I want to get back in the car and go home like do you know I'm saying
yeah do you ever go out of your way to try to not be noticed um on the street
yeah just cuz I in my environment like I just don't want to be noticed yeah but
they still notice me somehow
They're like, oh hi
Yeah
Yo, like they want to talk to me which is cool like I sit there and talk to him for sure
But yeah, I mean as long as you know, as long as I don't
Sense any yeah as long as you don't feel as long as that long as that six cents doesn't kick in now
like before people come up to me i'm just like watching what everybody i mean as you should
though like being alert and it's always better to be proactive because then react on 47th it's it's
like it's like a weird like weird situations that'll go down where people get hurt like so
you just always always just got to be alert always watch Anywhere So Just be careful Don't be stupid
Like some of these guys
Okay
I'm not gonna call anybody out
By name
But
They'll know who they are
They'll be wearing
Fucking
$200,000 watches
On their wrists
Walking down the street
Like this
Like they're strolling
Like
Rob
Like yeah
What are you doing
You are screaming
Like
Yeah
I won't even
I don't even wear a G-Shock
Because people would assume That it's a fucking Richard Mille or something.
They're like, no, I won't wear shit.
I'll wear it just like this.
And I'll put my sleeves up to here so they know that I have nothing on.
So, I don't know.
I think that is just a very stupid fucking thing to do.
Who are you trying to impress?
Literally.
Bro, if you have a $200,000 watch, come like what yeah why are you wearing that down the sidewalk going to yeah
i don't even i can't even think of a place where i would want to wear that like where i'd feel like
i'd have to be at like if i was drake and i had security around me i'd be flexing right i wouldn't
actually i'm not a flexer i wouldn't be flexing but i would i would be wearing a nice watch and
i don't like watches i'm not passionate about watches. I don't care about watches
I don't care about looking cool
But if I if I was like Drake and I had a team around me and I was untouchable like him
I'd probably wear a watch. I wouldn't go crazy though. I wouldn't fucking crazy shit. Yeah, there's no watch
So to take so to take what you just said
You said you're not passionate about watches.
Is that in the sense of fashion and you personally or like, so business model wise, do you like
the business and it's successful, you know you're good at it, so that's why you do it?
Or are you start like, obviously you're very knowledgeable about watches.
Like you have to be, it's in your business.
You just spit out the numbers, sounded like code.
Like they have no clue, but it's just like ingrained in you.
You know it.
But do you actually enjoy the watch part of the business?
Or is it just you're damn good at what you do,
and so that's why you're sticking with it?
I could appreciate a nice watch.
Like, you know, I'm like, oh, that's a nice Patek.
Or, oh, that's a nice Samara.
And I'd be like, oh, I like it.
But to start geeking out and be like oh my god
You're like I'm gonna buy that and I'm a seven video your wrist and rolling it yeah
What are you doing? Yes? What are you doing? I don't know that doesn't sit right with me. Yeah, wrist rolls
Wrist rolls you heard here. Hey, don't don't risk for all if you got to watch, just let it do its job. Don't fucking tag me in it, please.
Bro, I'm getting tagged in wrist rolls now.
Don't wrist roll and tag.
He's like, I will make fun of you or will not respond.
I'll do something.
I just won't respond.
There you go.
You know what I like, actually, where I see most of the dms right you know i get like a couple
i don't want a couple hundred maybe like 100 or 150 a day which is just nuts yeah but you know i
see a lot of them and i have people that answer my dms now i've hired people at this point um and And, you know, I'd rather answer the person that's just like, yo, I love your shit.
Keep it pushing or something like the people that like hit me up asking for advice or.
They'll try to flex.
They'll be like, yo, how much is that watch?
Just like just to talk to me.
I really, really rather someone just say, yo, I really fuck with your video. I'd be like yo how much is that watch just like just to talk to me but i really really
rather someone just say yo i really with your video yeah i'd be like oh thanks bro and
then if he answers me and says something else i'll answer him yeah but yeah like some people what they
do is this was before tick tock at all completely before tick tock is a common thing where people
will they'll dm you about a watch right and they'll ask you 50 fucking
questions just to tell their friends that they do you know no no not even
nothing DM me in particular but like they'll be at the bar and they'll be
like yo yo look at this watch I'm about to get they have no intention of buying
yes they just want their friends to be like oh you got it like that you can get
that yeah it's like it's like you're not buying the watch you're not buying one and and i i i'm pretty good at telling i could i could
tell within the first dm that they send how they speak i could tell you tell this watch you're not
buying this watch and you know when they say don't judge a book by its cover? Mm-hmm. I agree with that because I have people that DM me.
The other day, I can't say his name.
I can say his name because you guys are just going to cut it out.
Okay.
I'm going to say his name and then you guys are going to cut it out.
It's like, oh, shit.
They're going, yeah.
Do you guys know who this is?
Why does that sound so familiar?
Oh, yes.
I do know him.
It's like one of the kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know his last name, but yeah.
Yeah, so I see just messaging me back and forth, asking me like a bunch of questions.
And I could kind of tell that he had potential to buy something because I, you know, I saw a blue check.
I didn't click on his profile.
I saw a blue check, but his profile picture looked like a 15 year old kid
mm-hmm so I'm like I don't know if this kids gonna buy anything so you know
we're going back and forth for four months you know like oh you know asking
me questions and I'm fine with it because I could tell that there was
potential there I saw the blue check I'm like I'm always gonna be nice to anybody really but you know he's deeming
back forth and the other day a couple like a week or two ago he's like okay I
saw the watch on your website and I saw the other one you know how do you take
payment I'm like okay here's you know here's my Venmo send me a thousand dollar
deposit so I can hold them and wire me by tomorrow. The remainder.
Send me a thousand Venmo.
I'm like, oh, cool.
So I click his name and I see his thing.
He's like a million.
Can you block out the number too?
So people don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A million followers.
And I'm like, oh, wait, no, that's not what made me click it. What made me click it is he sent me his name and email and it said at dot com what do you mean and i see no you know mike
oh boy and i look in the first pictures of just him and that guy yeah and just chilling and and
then i hit up my boy who like follows that type of shit i'm like you know who this guy is he's like
no fucking way oh boy he's like you gotta sell it yeah so that's like a story of
never judge a book by its cover i never really judged him but i was like okay this kid's 15 he's
not buying a watch yeah you know so i learned learned my lesson i guess yeah damn that's dope
that's crazy though like who it is that's yeah that's wild yeah can you say who the most famous
person you sold a watch to is uh no okay okay shooting my shot
see how it goes what do you uh i'll just address it too a lot of people ask um like on on live and
in the comments also yeah and the reason you can't say is because when they buy something they make
you sign ndas and yep that guy the guy i just mentioned didn't okay i don't think he's big
enough to make me do that but you know you know they all make you sign ndes like yeah
I don't want people to know that I have this watch which makes sense you can't even blame them cuz yeah
Yeah, security issue. What do you uh?
What are you doing for Christmas for Christmas?
