(03:06):
dick. Uh and tanner. Someof our our audience is older, of
course, look at us, we'refucking old as shit. Uh what do
you do? Um? I makeYouTube videos. I would say that's like
my main gig. Sure, Um, I would say overall on the internet,
person, I love being on theinternet making videos. I ride scooters,

(03:27):
I love action sports, um,anything outdoors. I have a podcast
of my own. We did,but we haven't really done it because he
moved to Texas. We do alot of a lot of stuff on the
internet. Um. I've been makingYouTube videos like more than half my life.
So I just would really say that'sthat's the main thing. I would
also say, I'm entrepreneur. Iown a couple of different businesses and a
couple of different things like that.Yeah, I'd like to get into that

(03:49):
a little bit later talking about thebusinesses because it's cool and a lot of
younger people don't realize they need toput their money and make their money work
for them, you know. Theywant to spend them buy stupid shit like
cars motorcycles, which sometimes is inour case, a weird good investment if
you do it right. Yeah,and it's a tax right off. So

(04:12):
you're an influencer and you're on uninfluencedyep. Yeah. So the name of
our show, the reason it's allbasically because my wife pissed me off one
day. She would always buy stupidshit and I'd be like, why did
you buy this? It's just sittingin the closet on influencer. Yeah.
It's like, I'm tired of thisinfluencer shit costing me money. So we

(04:33):
need to teach people that you don'thave to be influence. You go watch
everybody, but you don't have tobe influenced to do everything they do.
You know, all these people onInstagram, Hey, I just bought this.
We've fucking basket. You need oneof these? Or you ever seen
those ab things that people put ontheir abate like vibrates That does not work.
It works, put it if youput it in the right spot at

(04:54):
work and it's not your ab I'veseen the code people buy them. Yeah
that shit. Okay, yeah,duck one up my ass. It chipped
his teeth, but yeah he's gota fucking it chipped his teeth. I
didn't have got it all high.I had to get a crown. Yeah,
pretty crazy. So um, scooters, I learned that you uh,

(05:17):
you basically started out kind of xgamish style with scooters and things like that
at the age at twelve, right, filming on YouTube and stuff. Oh
yeah, pretty much. I've hada couple channels before two thousand, Like
I started my channel now actually withMaverick, which is funny, in twenty
eleven. Before that, we bothhad different channels and stuff like that.
Yeah, that's that's pretty cool.You have Wait what's your question? I'm

(05:40):
sorry? So what got you started? And warmed up on that? No,
you're good. Uh what got youstarted? I mean it was twelve
we started, right? Yeah?Yeah, So I basically it's funny full
circle. I was on YouTube.I was an iPad kid like. I
was always watching YouTube videos of theiPad and I saw another writer whose name
is Nikolaira got Kin. He wasway younger, is probably twelve eleven years
ago. He's a pro mountain bikernow. I saw him doing BMX tricks

(06:03):
when he was probably like twelve orthirteen. I thought that looked super cool.
So I went to the skatepark ona bike and it was like really
hard, and then there was abunch of like kids on like custom scooters,
and I didn't even know that wasa thing. So then I got
that. And then I started watchingscooter YouTube videos and there was not a
lot of them, but there wassome. And then got a lot of
inspiration from those guys. And thenI wanted to make my own videos because

(06:24):
I just loved watching people make videos. And then it all just tornadoed from
there. Yeah. Is there aa component of that whole process for you
that that stands out as being anegative experience at all? Like at that
age being you know that that publicwith a lot of things that most kids
that age aren't um, Is itis there an aspect of that journey,

(06:51):
like when you first got started thatyou look back at as a negative,
Yes, I would say so,Like I definitely like I've thought about this
a lot more in the last monthespecially. I definitely didn't know what I
was signing myself up for, butI had like very big dreams, very
big aspirations. I wanted to supportmy family, and I just kind of

(07:11):
got after it. And I wasliterally like writing this ship down in like
a journal to myself the other day. But I would feel like, hold
on, if you gonna say Ilost my train at thought, Ah,
you're good. We do tons ofdid are okay, guys? Let me
tell you about a spongsor we gotMintmobile after years of fine print contracts getting

(07:33):
ripped up by the big wireless providers. If they've learned anything it's that there's
always a catch. So when Ifirst heard of Mintmobile offer premium wireless starting
at fifteen dollars a month, Ithought, what's the catch, But after
talking to them and using their service, it all made sense. There isn't

(07:58):
one Mintmobile secret sauce is that there'sThey're the first company to sell wireless service
online, only they cut out thecosts of retail stores. Pass those savings
directly onto you. Now, guys, I've been using mintmobile for a little
bit now and it's really good.The service is picked up great. I'm
I'm truly happy with it. Ifyou want to get Mintmobile for only fifteen

(08:22):
dollars a month, try it outwith their five G network. Go to
Mintmobile Wireless type in uninfluenced. Sohere you guys, go go to mintmobile
dot com slash uninfluenced. That's mintmobiledot com slash uninfluenced, and cut your

(08:43):
wireless built to fifteen bucks a monthagain mintmobile dot com slash uninfluenced. Yeah,
noise, that's that weed we're notsupposed to talk about. Uh sorry,
I just what's like the downside orthe bad side of Yeah, this

(09:07):
is like what's funny? Like wheneversomeone asks me something like that, I
immediately throw up like a wall inmy head because there's like there's people that
watch that. I always think,like, I don't want to think I'm
ungrateful or anything, So that's wheremy head goes. But yeah, there's
like definitely dark sides to anything youdo in life. I feel like it
forces you. Oh this is whatI was gonna say, is it forces
you to learn like way more aboutyourself. I guess, like you have
to like inwardly look look at yourselflike all the time, and like when

(09:31):
your channel's going down at a youngage, especially like my brain's not fully
developed or now it's getting there.But when I'm younger and a video doesn't
do good that directly would correlate howI feel about myself kind of thing.
Yeah, I was like cheesy asthat sounds, but like that shit really
does affect kids my age. SoI really spent a lot of like the
last couple of years questioning my existenceand kind of like trying to grow up

(09:54):
internally because I spent so much timelike just doing videos every day and it
was always like I just woke upand I did stuff and I never thought
about growing up, I guess.So I kind of like tried to aim
towards that and like think about everythingmore. So I honestly think there's again
I don't want to make it soundlike it's like a shitty thing, because
I'm so grateful to do what Ido, Like I literally love making videos

(10:16):
and all the stuff like that,but there's so many negatives that come with
the space you're in if you're notprepared for it. But like someone like
you like seeing this like social mediaegg grow, and then you guys are
businessmen, you can go, Okay, this is how we're gonna insert ourselves.
For me, I was like learningbusiness, learning the world like in
the mix of it all. Soit was a really weird process, I

(10:39):
would say. And then I don'tknow. At some point too, I
definitely went down like thinking like whylike why is this even my job?
Like for a second, you kindof forget about all the work you put
in. I'm sure you guys havefelt that in growing businesses. And then
you're like you kind of get impostersyndrome a little bit. You're like,
hold up. But then it's like, no, I work to do this
stuff. Do I want to dothis stuff? And then I feel like

(11:01):
I also get in thoughts where itgets really overwhelming all of a sudden,
like out of nowhere. This onlyprobably started happening like a year and a
half ago. I would always erout like I'm the most open book,
Like I would literally air out everything. I had no idea what anything meant
to anyone. I just would sayshit, and the last year I've been
like, WHOA, I don't wantto tell people about this. I don't
want to tell people about this,like me dealing with my mental stuff to
last like two years. This hasbeen the first time I'm like, I

(11:22):
don't know how to share this,Like, I don't want to share this
up. It's kind of been aweird thing. I'm I'm navigating, like
growing up and then doing all thisstuff and then growing up on video and
there's a business it's I don't know, there's too many words to even I
mean, I will say that irrespectiveof age, authenticity resonates with everybody,

(11:43):
every crowd, every knich, everygenre, whatever is that you know,
especially people that are in the limelightor that have big followings. You know,
when they share things, especially ifthey're personal, you know, struggles
that they have or things that alot of times people don't see, they
don't see that side of them.And with a lot of these people,

(12:05):
it's things that they've gone through,you know, So for them to see
something that they can relate to issuper super powerful. So I know it's
tough, but it's important to notto error everything. I mean, some
things I think should be kept personalin PROD. But that's what I'm trying
to, like, yeah, kindof get back to because at the same
time, it's like I look backand it's like this is I don't know,

(12:26):
not to make it sound dramatic,but it's kind of like my destiny.
Like I feel like this is I'mexactly where I should be and I
should like I am the guy thatshould be making videos. So now I've
been trying to like find that againwork like I want to inspire people,
but I want to give the rightmessage. And then I don't know.
Then there's a whole aspect of challengingyour like ego in this whole space and
then like and then like questioning whatyou're noticing what your ego wants, you

(12:50):
know, girls and money and carsand do this and that and this.
But then it's like you're in thisposition and it's like if you can cancel
out those thoughts, like what wouldyou accomplish? Do you give what I'm
saying? Yeah, yeah, Imean does that make any sense? It
does? Mean it's a double edgedsword. You know that there's so many
variables that you like learn about andthen I believe in like the manifesting all
that stuff because I don't know howI've done all this shit I've done,

(13:11):
so that's but also it's like rightplace, right time, opportunity, Like
I don't know. I'd like tothink I'm a good person, I'm deserving
of a lot of people think YouTube'sthe lottery, right, Yeah, they
do think that. It's Yeah,so you you busted your ass from twelve
years old, where most people attwelve years old aren't thinking about picking up
a camera. They're not thinking aboutpicking up a camera, learning a new

(13:33):
trick and studying. And as anadult forty two years old, I tell
my grown ass man that worked forme, pick up a phone, Google
what you're working on. Look onYouTube because somebody's recorded that how to fix
it before calling me with some dumbass shit. Yeah, and you,
at twelve years old, decided I'mgoing to pick up a camera and I'm
going to teach people how to dothis. Yeah, so that's not a

(13:56):
lottery ticket. That's but I thinkalso outside the ball and you related to
a group, But then like internallyI'm thinking, like how did that even
happen? And it's because he workedhard, but at the time it was
like a new niche that we createdmaking content and stuff. Also, like
there was nobody really doing the lifestyleof vlogging stuff at our age, Like
there was maybe the Romans and Casesand the older people. Yeah, but

(14:18):
he did started doing his open uptoys toys like make toys or making you
do that as an adult. Ohshit, Lego, that's another weird thing,
like Hookemon cards. Yeah. Ifeel like I went through like two
years of my career where I kindof like sold out a little bit.
But I didn't sell out because oflike Hot Wheels and like that was like

(14:39):
a dream to do. But thenI was like signed to them and then
I felt like a Disney character forlike two years and that was like not
that funny too. Yeah, whatI'd sell No, and I did,
but it was like then I alreadykind of did that like toy phase and
like I wasn't allowed to do shit, and then that like really that was
like a weird time. So Ifeel like now I'm like all right,

(15:00):
I'm just really trying to figure outwhat the fuck's inside of me. I
don't know what I want to do. I had a noncompete when I would
I have an idea now, Iwas signed to a media company, a
very large media company, to bea personality on TV. They didn't know
where they wanted to put me.But I'm signed for two years. I
couldn't do YouTube. I couldn't putcertain shit on Facebook basically what that seema

(15:22):
probably six years now, because theyowned the rights like they basically owned my
talent rights to me putting out contentlike your face based on card car stuff.
Yeah, and my passion is cars, you know, And but we
talk about other stuff so on herewe talk about cars because I mean,
held that screen savers a damn car. Yeah. I don't know who's a
glass car that is, but it'sa car. Uh just kidding. That

(15:43):
ain't ugly? Yeah, that thing'sbeautiful. Yeah yeah, But you know
him, he turned kind of likeyou. People would look at him and
be like, you sell dogs andyou have these cars. You want a
lottery ticket. It's a lottery ticket. You're just a lucky mother. But
I watched this dude work to apoint to where I take shit off his

(16:04):
plate at times, to where likeI don't even want to bug him with
this. I know the answer becausewe're so in sync on shit. We
do that I'm not even gonna botherhim with this dumb shit because I already
know the answer, you know,So I'm taking those tell of him because
he worked so hard and it's thesame thing you're doing. He did this
with dogs and all the other hardshit he's doing, the dog food,

(16:25):
the dogs, the online training,you know, and all this stuff.
You did the same thing at ayounger age, and it's paying off for
you. Yeah, Versus you getsomeone that picks up a camera and just
like this dude did it and allhe had was a fucking scooter. You
know, I got this nice camera, I got this and they're expecting to
turn that on, hit record,put the memory card in and upload to

(16:47):
YouTube. No editing, no nothing, no learning shit. Ye, why
the fuck is this kid with ascooter getting five million views? That takes
you very true. You made agood point, Like I was. I'm
a total algorithm nerd and all thatshit, hustling all that shit, and
and we hell as a for twoyears. You know, we're studying analytics,
algorithms, keyword tagging, fucking sillyshit that you wouldn't think forty two

(17:11):
year old men are gonna be lookingup and we're looking this shit up because
that's how it worked. Oh yeah, it's a machine. Yeah, and
you're not doing it one video.People see that ten minutes could be one
hundred hours of work to get thatout because all the research you did,
all the building a thumbnail, that'sa lot of work for ten minutes.
Ye affects, you know, Soit's not like, hey, this kid

(17:33):
got lucky. What the fucking lotteryticket? No? But he also like
there was so much grinding before youeven got popping. It was like,
well, yeah, you're two tothree years would nobody given a shiite?
No, that is true. Solike it it's a lot of grinding before
you pop, and then all ofa sudden you pop and then people see
Still it's like you think about thatwhole thing and it is still right time,

(17:55):
right place. Like I think it'sa combination of things. Yeah,
it is a Statistically, yes,it is a lottery ticket. If you
if you think about the population,the amount of people that that post ship
to a YouTube channel, and whatthat percentage is that actually can afford to
do that ship for a living,and like a good living. It is.
It's a it's an anomaly. It'sa fraction of a percentage. However,

(18:15):
the reason why, in my opinion, somebody like you or anybody that
grows a channel to to that degree, stands out as two reasons. Number
one is the hard work. Butit's not just that, right, There
are a lot of people that worktheir fucking ass off that that you know,
die with without a fucking pot topiss in. Yeah, so it
takes you know, the hard workelement is a given. But the one

(18:37):
kind of it factor that I don'tthink you know we've mentioned, is that
is that you have to have itfor people to want to watch you.
Yeah. Like course, I mean, no matter no matter who who you
are, who you have behind yourhow much money you dump into promoting things
or whatever, if it sucks,it's not going to matter, you know.
So to me, like all ofthose things have to be present,

(18:59):
and in that regard, it kindof is a lottery ticket. Yeah,
but yeah, but it's a deservingone. Yeah, Yeah, it's yeah,
you want I guess, Yeah,that's what I mean. It's like,
it's a weird thing for me toeven process in my own brain because
it doesn't make any sense to me. I just grew up watching YouTube and
being fans of all these people,and I know them all and I got
to meet them all, and itwas it was like a constant dream,
just like unfolding. Who were yourtop three influences or were role models as

(19:22):
far as YouTube goes, I wouldhonestly say Roman Atwood, Casey Nistat and
Logan Paul. Yeah. I waslike really good at like watching people's stuff
and then being like I like thatabout them, and then I'd steal it
or like I'm making I'd morph itinto this my character basically like you know
what I mean, Like, becauseCasey's not a screwtwriter, but I am

(19:44):
so like how do I how doI use his pizzaz and then try to
like absorb it a little bit tochange my shit up? So I would
do that with like anyone I likedpretty much. And Casey is one of
the people who went out and learnedfrom someone like Peter McKinnon. Like he
was a dork as well. Hewas like I know how to set these
cameras up. This guy's doing itso much better. Yeah how And he

(20:07):
just had the balls to keep messagingthe dude till the dude messaging back,
and like, dude, shut thefuck up, do this, do this,
dude this, you know, andCasey's another anomaly. I mean,
look at he was in a closetfor what five years in New York City.
You know, I followed his wholejourney. I love. I'd say
he's probably my favorite YouTuber and creator. He's really awesome. I'm not gonna

(20:27):
lie. I'm kind of dork outwatching Logan Paul, not because of I
wouldn't say it's full content. Ilike his content, don't get me wrong,
but the business behind it it's veryIt's a machine. He's a machine.
That's how this dude is right here. I mean, people don't realize
this. It's he can do somuch shit and it's like, dude,

(20:51):
I can't even comprehend what the fuckyou're doing to make this work. I'd
have done, my ship would haveblew up, my head would be popped.
No, Logan doesn't have like anoff button. It seems like he's
always innovating and changing and doing thenext big thing. And he's got a
plan. It seems like like twoyears out at the time. Yeah,
which is really impressive. I havea two day plan today. I'm gonna
do something just today, Yeah,tomorrow, I don't know, tomorrow a

(21:15):
two day Yeah. Oh that's funny. That's how we roll. I like
that, Yeah pretty much. Yeah. So my one thing I've noticed,
and I've thought this from like,I would class you kind of child star,
if that makes sense. Yeah.Uh, And a lot of them
have trouble because from we'll say,we'll use your age rain from twelve to

(21:37):
twenty twenty two. Now. Yeah, so from that age you always have
a camera and you always have peoplewatching you. When the camera's off,
you almost at a certain age don'tknow how to act anymore. There's not
a red light. Yeah, seriously, you know, it's almost like to
make this dude act normal, Ijust need a laser pointer and just like
say we're recording, yeah, zakbrat. Yeah, all the time,

(21:57):
it's like I don't I don't wantto do something unless it's filmed. Yeah,
I won't. I won't do ascooter trick or I won't do it
stuff. I'm telling you, it'sit's literally my reward system. Yeah,
like it is, Like, it'sprobably one of the only things I get
serotonin from. Do you think numbermakes it harder on you though? That
i'l ACKed it when the camera's off, you almost. But this is what

(22:18):
I did the last like two years, is I really challenged that because I
like I did a lot of inwardlike thoughts. I had a lot of
inward thoughts about myself, and likeI knew that I needed to like work
on that because I literally was,like I get hyper obsessed with shit,
Like I went from scootering to directlyto YouTube and like that was my new
obsession. So I needed to likegive myself some fucking time to let all

(22:42):
that shit wear off. And then, like I kind of felt like I
since I was working so much inmy child years, like I basically didn't
have a I mean I did abunch of fun shit for videos from like
fifteen to eighteen, but didn't becausebut then that's like the last years of
my childhood. And then I gotreally depressed about like I was like,
oh, I don't want to likeall my friends are doing their childhoshit.
And so I kind of spent thelast two years trying to like waste time

(23:03):
on purpose and like just get thoseyears and time in to like kind of
develop I guess. Yeah, Sothat's helped a lot and then now like
I'm really trying to formulate because i'dlike, well, I'm going to come
back to like social media full timeagain. I've really taken last year like
like question all that stuff and challengemyself and all that stuff. But I
feel like I finally made good progressin the way that like that stuff and

(23:26):
how much numbers meant to me,like was really affecting how my day to
day life was, and now I'velike detached that and I'm i feel like
I'm back to more how I wasin the beginning of YouTube, and that's
why I worked at the beginning,because it was so authentic. It was
just fun and it was what Iwas actually doing. And so I feel
like I've I've gotten pretty close backto there, but it's obviously still every
days a new day, so it'sa journey, but something we've I know,

(23:48):
I've had to learn it as abusiness man. I'm pretty sure he
does too. I work a lot. I get of at six in the
morning, and most time I workedtill ten eleven o'clock and not most time
you can text me till midnight andI'm answering. Then I'm back up at
five thirty six and I'm working again. But there's those certain times that I
can separate. So I'm working forfour hours and I'm busting my ass for

(24:10):
those four hours. But he callsme, My wife calls men. It's
like, hey, you want todo this. Have you learned to flip
that switch at your age to whereI'm no longer working, because that's what
YouTube and scooter is to where Ican still be me. Flip that switch
and I can almost be more relaxing, go hang out with him, my
wife. You know, my brotherand my sister have got You haven't got

(24:33):
that. No, I don't thinkso. Yeah, And it takes time.
It's actually, I would say,something you really have to learn,
like mastering your split personality. Tome, it's a managing your time to
where you know when to shut offyour YouTube work personality into your normal I'm
Tanner Fox personality. Yeah. Idon't know that two of them. I

(24:56):
just think Tenner's always on them.Yeah. Some of it is age too,
is that you can you can burnthe candle at both ends way more
when you're your age, and youcan, like you know, as a
as a seal for twelve years.That that's what that is you know,
from eighteen to thirty, you know, I was working fucking twenty five hours
a day basically, and like youradrenal glands get shot, and I mean

(25:17):
it fucks your whole body because you'reYou've got all these different things going on
and there's there's really no downtime.As you get older, you you start
to realize kind of like an erdoctor, if a fucking bus crash comes
in, where you know there's fortypeople that are injured, some of them
are about to die, some ofthem have minor injuries, and everything in
between, is you have to figureout how to triize your own fucking problems

(25:37):
and issues that way where you know, okay, for me to be productive,
I've never even thought about that.I have to blow off steam here,
and you have to make yourself doit, Like you have to prioritize
this shit's going to take a backseatand I'm gonna fucking blow off this steam
and I'm gonna I'm gonna do whateverI have to do until I feel normal
enough again to to go fucking work, and you will, you will be

(25:59):
more productive. Does that last foryou? I mean as long as it
takes. Oh, you know,I mean sometimes maybe it's a I feel
like that's kind of what I'm innow, because like the so, there
was a version of me that wasjust going and doing and knew what to
do, and then that guy wasjust lost and I was like, it
pissed me off because I didn't knowwhere he went. So and then I
just stopped and I've been just likewaiting for him to come back. I
feel like, yeah, I mean, so, just just do shit slowly

(26:19):
like he slowly is. Just justdo do and try things for no fucking
reason other than to just do somethingelse. Yeah. Sometimes for me,
it's a twenty minute motorcycle ride.Sometimes it's three fucking days of just saying,
you know what, I'm gonna fuckingput it all off until I until
I can go back to it.Yeah, you know, And it's just
a case by case basis. Yeah, he's he's real big on no one.

(26:40):
When I'm stressed out him and mywife known to tell me. Basically
he can tell and I'll get atext you want to go for a drive,
you want to go for a motorcycleride, and saying you know,
I'd be like, hey, we'redoing this to kind of that's our relief
is going out, and I meanyou can ask like that's your cook Yeah,
this dude, Okay, we wentto Mexico on a normal side street,

(27:04):
forty five miles an hour zero onehundred and fifty and I don't know
how many seconds, but three secondsfor seconds to me, that's a way
that I'm stressed out and it's gone. Yeah, yeah, I feel that
I know what you mean to mean. There's an important distinction to make.
You mentioned that's your cookie. It'sactually not your cookie. It's more of
your oxygen mask and a fucking airplanethat's going down. It's it's not a

(27:26):
it's not a reward, it's it'sa relief valve that that if you don't
engage in that, you're you're goingto crash the fucking plane. Wow.
That changed my thought press because Ifeel like everything's in my head is based
off of like a reward like that, like I earned awesome necessity, you
know. But again, a lotof that is your age, you know,
because when when we were that age, it's like you feel like your

(27:48):
your immortality isn't something that's even inthe back of your mind when you're twenty
two. Yeah, when you're fortytwo, it is, you know,
and so I mean so many pantiesdrop have your aged? Wait? Wait,
what do you mean immortality? Likeyou you're invincible? Right? Is
that you're not? I've been learningthat I'm not. Yeah, but wait,
check check back in twenty years whenwe're in our fucking sixties and you're
on our shoes. Yeah, andit'll be ten ten x that you know,

(28:11):
sitting reversing the roles. As Iwas coming up as a plumber for
many years, i'd laugh at theforty year olds telling me, way do
you get to be my age?And I'm like, bitch, hain't ever
gonna feel that way when you're amite? Yeah? And then now I'm
that age and I'm looking at youlike, bitch. Way. It's funny
even say that, because when Iwas twelve, there was like the nineteen

(28:32):
year old kids at the skate parkand they'd be like, I don't know
how you guys ride twelve hours aday. I'm fine. And now I've
been yeah, I get there forforty minutes, I'm like fuck this,
I'm out. So your cookie isthings you don't have to show the public
your reward, So say you havehobbies, which our hobbies we tend to
revolve around the show and shit.But we don't record everything we do for

(28:56):
our cookie. You know, thecar outside, that's a reward to myself
for the hard work I do.It just so happens that I can record
off my hard work. You know, when I decide I'll fuck it,
I want to go buy a watch, that's a reward for me. I
don't have to put that watch oncameraonecting them. Yeah. Yeah, it's
not the collecting for the money.It's I think I love the mechanics of

(29:22):
cars, watches. I love watchinghow things work, if that makes sense.
I'm kind of like you. I'ma dork and I like to figure
things out, like if it's impossible, that's bullshit. You know. I
learned what the dork is today.The whale dick. Yeah, I just
learned that today. I just learnedthat today. Uh, where did you

(29:45):
learn that? I'm a chick ona boat. There's worst ways to learn.
Now, can you pull up ifthat's real? I want to know
if that's really it, you'll pullit up right there. Um. Yeah,
So the reward don't have to beshown. The cookie don't have to
be shown. The cookie should bewhat makes you feel like to me,

(30:07):
this is my way of thinking thecookie. The reward should be this is
mine. I'm thinking myself for allmy hard work, this is my relief,
whether it be a new scooter ora new watch, a new car,
a house, sheets, towels,simple shit that makes you happy inside.
Nobody else has to fucking know.It's that thing. Yeah, you

(30:30):
know, you don't have to putit on camera, you don't have to
brag about it. It Sometimes whatwe do just happens to be on camera.
That's the thing. Yeah, that'skind of like the content is what
you think is Yeah, we're luckythat that's how we're trying to set ours
up. Is our rewards. Butthe backside of it is our audience.
Don't see the other shit we're doingthe hard work. Wise, this is

(30:51):
our release. They're coming here andbitch like, as you know, so
we kind of did it backwards.Hold on, I think in that same
in that same vein no pun intendedwith what we're looking up is uh,
you know, the rewards is somethingthat you want and don't need, you
know, but the balance in yourlife from a mental health and physical health

(31:12):
standpoint, are things that you actuallyneed. Yeah, and that's that's balance.
Like if you if you don't havethat, everything's gonna go downhill.
Yeah, there you go. Howbig is a whale's dork? I thought
it'd be bigger for sure. Ohwait, yeah, yeah, a whale's
dirk? Wait click on. Whatis the dork originally slang term for penis?

(31:37):
Hell? Yeah, So in thenineteen sixties they were running around calling
people dork for penis. Now theyjust call them straight dick. Yeah,
now you're just what is Elayne?What is Elayne? Yeah? Yeah?
Fucking rabbit holes? Google, That'swhat I do from eleven to minute,
And what the fuck's the next video? I go down endless rabbit holes.

(32:01):
Oh I will too, especially ifit's something I got bitched out earlier for
someone. While I message Sean aboutbuying a car seat and that John's like,
hey, why didn't you film that? You imagine the content we would
have got. A Navy seal givesadvice on baby seats. Yeah, but

(32:22):
like I'm that dorky to where I'mlooking at a car seat for my new
kid and I call or I messageanother dude like ibro check it out,
I got a B and C brandthis, what do you think? And
he's like, your your B wasmy A and you're and I'm like,
you know, I'm that dorky too, to wear the wheel squeak on this
motherfucker. So anything I do,if I'm gonna put any kind of money

(32:43):
or time into it, chans areI'm gonna be a dork about it and
I'm gonna be a fucker has toconsume you. Yeah, and that's another
problem. Sometimes our obsessions or passionsconsume us. And that's part of being
a creator. I think. Yeah, it is a business man, No,

(33:04):
yeah, business man for sure.I mean that that's my competitiveness has
to be there or you're not goingto be successful. But but it has
to be balanced, you know,or or you'll find yourself miserable because nothing
is ever enough, you know.Yeah, it's like having sex for the
first time. It's like I wantto have that shit again and then the
bitches went home. How can wetie this into getting late? Yeah,

(33:25):
you got a friend? What thewhat? What is like from a five
year goal standpoint, where do yousee yourself? Where do you want to
see yourself? And from right nowyears? Yeah, Um, I think
my goal as of like right now. Basically, like I got thrown into
this whole social media world and Ijust like knew it was a big opportunity
and I just took advantage of itevery day, and I didn't know what
I was doing. Like I didn'tgo to high school, so I don't

(33:45):
know anything about anything in school.So basically I'm taking everything. No,
I literally just stopped. I graduateeighth grade. Yeah, so everything I
learned in the last five years tome was college and like I've experienced just
about No, I can't say everyaspect because I'm still twenty two, but
like I've experienced a lot of aspectsof this business world, and I've been
fucked over and I've done really well, and I have this and that and

(34:07):
this. I feel like I've learneda lot about people and about what's important
to me and everything. So fiveyear goal is I'm basically like restructuring my
entire team and building it professionally thistime, because before it was just like
people would be like you should getan assistant, and I'd be like,
yeah, well that's not my viberight now, Like I don't want to
have a random person around me allthe time because I was seventeen and stuff.

(34:27):
So now it's like, okay,I go. I just signed with
my first manager ever. I'm buildingback a different merchandising team, assistance content,
like more of my own content productionin house, kind of like what
you guys do here. I'm buildingan office right now in San Diego.
So I bought a building and we'rebuilding a big office in there, and
then we're gonna build like a privateskate park in there, and then I'm

(34:52):
gonna do like I have a bunchof ideas like endless. I just a
five year goal from now is basicallyto do everything I did in the last
five years except for like ten timesbetter. That's pretty much my goal with
all the knowledge I have and nowi've this is what I think is cool
is I always work so hard andI was always really good at saving,
and now I'm in a position whereI can fund all my own shit.

(35:15):
So I just had to take thetime to be like mindful enough to do
that and like do it the rightway. So I think that's pretty cool
because I don't have to have anyonelike telling me what to do. So
that and that's what I'm excited todo. So I'd say, just build
my businesses the next five years andlearned structure because I've never had any of
that, which I think big partof that's not going to school, which
I finally learned growing up, likenot going to high school. I have
no structure in my real life.That's what school's for, like I never

(35:37):
realized as a kid, but that'sliterally what it's for. So I'd say
that's pretty much my goals. Sotaking a step further than do you see
yourself, say when you're forty justcontinuing to do that, or is there
from a thirty thousand foot view standpoint, something something else you want to do
with your life that you've thought of. I think that I will always do

(35:58):
something. It just depends on howbig my pond is to what I could
do. So I think that,like right now, I'll be focused on
all this shit because it just likeI also like need this shit to like
want to be alive. Like Idon't see a reason to being alive unless
I'm doing this shit, like literally, so I kind of like need something
to be obsessed with or I'm literallyjust feel like worth like worthless, But

(36:19):
that's not true. I mean,but not worthless. That was a harsh
word to use. But like Ifeel like like I tried, like chilling,
Like I literally gave myself the opportunityto be a completely day by day
citizen not do any of this fuckingsocial media bullshit, and anyone know me,
Like, I gave myself time tofeel that. And it's like,
how long, like probably since January? So in January, now you didn't,

(36:43):
I like actually not shit, LikeI've actually, for the first time
like learned how to focus on myselfinstead of just like stress about what I'm
gonna do when I get back,I guess. But the word in making
yourself feel worthless, that was aharsh word. Yeah, because this to
me and I could be stepping onyour question here, but just to hear
that's kind of harsh. But foryou to feel worthless without say YouTube or

(37:07):
working, like I feel like,as a man, like you really have
to work something in your life.Working is way different than you think you
have to be on here because inall honesty, I mean, I think
these are the devil. Yeah,I agree, but I get you want
to work, you want to havestuff, but you have other businesses right
outside of here. No, Imean, okay, my goal. I'm

(37:29):
just saying in like, when I'mforty, I think that like right now,
I'll be obsessed with this stuff becauseit's actually fun to me. Yeah,
like and this is just what Ineed to do to like keep myself
busy. And then this stuff willend and then I'll have a new like
I'll be at a new stare andthat'd be like, all right, what
do I want to do from here? But also like I'm really big into
investing in real estate in stocks,so I mean I just keep doing that

(37:49):
and do whatever I want. Yeah. We got a guy named Randy that
listens and he's an idiot. Ifhe hears workless, he'll lose his shit.
No, that was a bat likethat was on a harsh word.
I just mean, like I think, don't always be working or doing something,
Like I finally have accepted that aboutmyself. Like that's just like who
I am. Like I like reading. Yeah, I find it cool to
hear a twenty two year old.To me, it's more inspirational than cool

(38:12):
to hear you like, well,I have this, I have this lined
up, I'm self funded, Ihave this. You know how many twenty
two year olds that would have thatbank account, that wouldn't give a shit
about that building, wouldn't be givea shit about it. It's hard so
to me in all honesty, schoolis again I would say important to an
extent, but common sense and knowinghow to move shit around in this day

(38:35):
and age is becoming more important.Yeah, I mean the school Hard Knox
is priceless. I mean to me, and hearing you speak, maybe,
uh, fulfilled would have been abetter word, you know, Yeah,
you need you need to work fulfilled. It's true. Yeah, that's a
way better word. Yeah, Butyou know, I'm curious from a like
again just from from kind of thelong game standpoint. Um, you know
you're doing all this stuff. Doyou do you have something outside of what

(38:58):
you do now? Uh that existsor that you want to exist? It
doesn't have anything to do with us. Like do you want to you know,
have a management company that manages otherpeople like that? Do you want
to move into some total other differentindustry or is this kind of like I
have like so many ideas and they'reall passion projects, like yees, starting
different types of companies and like makingI want to like make my own documentaries

(39:21):
and like start production companies. LikeI have all those ideas. It just
I think it just has to flowwhen it's going to flow that way,
because I just like I don't don'treally know what's going on. Like i'd
literally just take things like as Ifeel like as they make sense. But
I like, I have dreams ofall that kind of stuff, and I
have like endless ideas. One thingI'm waiting on is for the office,
because like I've never I've never showedup. Okay, I work every day,

(39:45):
but like I never showed up andworked somewhere. So when I start
doing that, I'll have my officeand I'll be able to actually like go
to the office on the same dayas my employees type of stuff. I
think that's when I'll get a likeI'll be up in my my like moves
into doing more stuff like that andbeing able like like higher editors and higher
filmers, and having people in houseand and just even just expand my business

(40:07):
like from myself. Because I've alsowatched so many people in this industry grow
businesses from zero to one hundred milliondollars. I watched how they did it
and how they build all their teamsand how they put people in places and
how they did all that. SoI think this building is gonna be a
huge key for me. And I'vejust been waiting on it for so long
because like before the warehouse, Iwas basically like I had bought like a
big house in the Temecula. Iwas pretty much just like trapped there,

(40:30):
like I didn't want to leave becauseit was like a compound, like I
didn't need to leave. So thenI was trying to think of like what
the next thing is, and I'veliterally the warehouse kind of fell into my
lap, like I was looking torent a wahouse and then the guy said,
are you looking to buy? This? One just came up on the
market and it was like a pristinebuilding. So we got it and it
all just kind of like randomly fellinto place, I guess. But you

(40:51):
said, for the last six months, you've been doing jack shit, right,
Not jack shit. I've really beenlike working internally on like rewiring everybody
in my life because I was superneglectful of like the operation that I had
created. I had no idea whatI did until like about four or five
months ago, Like I was justlike every day wake up filmical video do

(41:12):
this, do this brand, deal, promote this merch do this, do
that, And then like I stoppedback and like I actually started looking at
the financial people and the people doingthis, and the people doing the merchandising
and people people doing everything, andit was like, hold on, Like
why have I not been more involved? And it was like because everyone was
just letting me run around on thisleash because I'm this kid with all this
money and just as long as Tanner'sdoing whatever the fuck he wants, He's
not gonna like turn around and thinktwice about stuff. So that's really what

(41:36):
I was doing, is like cleanslate. And then I've been like,
all right, what's important to meand like really trying to I don't know,
I was like pretty mentally fried.And then I've been just kind of
navigating that. I guess. Sofrom a like a chronological timeline standpoint,
over the last six months, whatdoes an average day look like from the
time you get up at what time, what you do all day until you
go to bed? So I've probablybeen at like my worst mental spot in

(41:59):
the last six months and it's finallyturned around. I mean it hasn't even
turned around like I had an episodelike four days ago, and he held
me. But before that I didn'tfor like two weeks, so that was
the longest gap. Um. Butum, like an average day, bro,
it was pretty much me waking uplike a time fucking I would probably

(42:22):
go to bed latest fuck, I'dprobably wake up at like eleven because I
just wanted to waste the days asmuch as I possibly could, and then
I would pretty much it would belike a cluster fuck of like, Okay,
I gotta do this, Like Igotta talk to this person, I
gotta meet about this, I gottamake sure this accounts good. I gotta
talk to a lawyer about this.I gotta fucking move out of the I

(42:44):
gotta finish packing up my house becauseI just sold my house in like March.
Doing that, I was like havingall these calls with all these lawyers
talking all these people fucking like itwas just but it was me like learning
the process for the first time.So it was oh and I had to
set up like all these all thisbank bullshit and like I was my first
time doing all that, and thatthat just took like fucking days and hours

(43:05):
and phone calls and then and thenrewiring all your accounts, and like there
was just like a lot of fuckinghorseshit that I was like mostly administrated.
It was all this like really yeah, small thinky stuff that I never did
because I had people for it.And then I was like, but it
was good because I didn't even knowthat shit existed, so it was good
to get in the weeds and likecare about that stuff. And then now
I'm I'm I'm still fixing it all. Or if you moved to Texas,

(43:28):
we'll get you as a banker thatwill help you. Oh no, everything's
fucking set up solid now, Likeeverything's fucking great now. It's just like
I just I just neglected my businesses, like I didn't know what I had
started. I was super young.I started ten companies and I didn't have
time to look at even fucking wellI had time, but I didn't even
give a fuck to look at oneof them. So I just never looked.
And then it was like, oh, this could be ran a lot

(43:50):
better, like I'm not taking thisas serious as I should. And then
also kind of like I don't know, maybe for you guys, but you
go in like for me, likeI'm like eighteen before that, like your
kid, and then you kind ofgo through a period where you like you're
you open up to your like adulthood. I guess to you what I'm saying,
like all of a sudden, likeadulthood becomes mad fucking crazy like and

(44:13):
it's like this is real, LikeI gotta like step up a little bit,
like I'm not a little fucking kid. Really. Yeah, so you
were stepping the fuck up, likethat's what you know. More to me,
I got slap with adulthood real fast. Yeah, so you know more
meat, it wasn't this little fucker'sgotta eat no and it's on you.
And yeah, so you were youhad to put your life aside real quick
and just fucking buck up. ButI feel like I've been like trying to

(44:36):
just do that in a good way, and like, I don't know.
For me, it's like, um, being inside of my head is like
so intense, Like everything's so intensefor no reason. What's the episodes?
Like you said four days ago,you had an episode, bro, Like
everything just feels like it's gonna end. So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
out on a lame here and kindof just try to guess throw some g

(45:00):
So you're four months, are goingbuy and you're starting to get everything,
and you're starting to all this shitstarting to pile up on you that you
never really knew was there. Andthen you go you're getting and simultaneously like,
I have like mental illnesses. WellI don't even like to call in
that, but I had problems.Is it that I was like dealing rassion
anxiety? I've been told on bipolar. I've been diagnosed I have aspergers.

(45:24):
Um, I mean that comes withADHD and all that stuff. Yeah,
but and then you had depression,anxiety and all that stuff and anxieties.
And I'll be the first to tellyou I have anxiety. We've talked about
a couple of times on here,and I don't know if I've ever had
an attack or anything in front ofyou, Not that I've known. It's
just like almost like a I wouldalmost relate it more to like a bipolar

(45:45):
episode. So but it's not likeI'm like, I want to explain what
mine feel like. Okay, somine feel I get in a situation where
right now, if this curtain caughton fire instead of common sense, slowdown,
but the curtain now, my asswould be like, how the fuck
can I jump over my get thefuck up out of here? My heart

(46:05):
starts, So that five minutes ofme not calming down and doing what I
should do. Mentally, I knowwhat to do, but it's like another
side of your brain's telling you yougotta do this, you gotta do this,
So that five minutes to feel likeyou have voices in your head.
Yeah, and it feels like Ijust spent eight hours working out the hardest
I've ever worked out. So oncethat time period's done of this attacker episode,

(46:31):
yeah, the next day, Idon't want to do shit. I
don't want to talk to nobody,and I'm fucked. Yeah, you know,
And until I learned to deal withthat again, that's age and leaning
on people to help you. Itwas fucked dude. I couldn't. I
couldn't get shit done. You couldn'ttell me a motherfucking yeah. And now

(46:52):
I control it. I still havethem, I mean I don't. I
don't know if they're ever going away. But if you would have told me
that eight years ago, nine yearsago, hey man, I had an
anxiety attack. I'm fucking I ain'tcoming to work, or like, look,
bitch, there's no such thing asa motherfucking anxiety attack. You're a
crazy motherfucker. You probably drank toomuch caffeine, too much, beer,

(47:14):
too much this, which is alsoprobably a factor. Oh. Nutrition,
That's what I've learned in the lastLike I've only nutrition, and he's a
big key on nutrition fixes what probablyninety five percent of all your bullsh Yet,
Yeah, it's so different than avehicle. I mean, your body's
a fucking machine. If you putshit into what, it's gonna run like
shit. I literally told some ofthat today. You can run a car

(47:35):
and gain read this joint that I'vebeen doing bro too. I don't go
Premier, but um, she gotwater in it. I'm in a mainline
one on nine for the rest ofmy life. Yeah, but I would
say, like mine, like forinstance, like the other day, it's
like hard to explain, Like Idon't know how because like you're here,
you have like your perception of theworld, you like have that all locked

(47:59):
in, Like you know what youfeel about this, you know what you
feel about that, you know whatfood you like, you know blah blah
blah blah, you know what yourplans are. You know it makes you
excited you know you love, youknow who you love, like all that
it will be like all a goodwave for instance. Like that's why I
always say like every day's in yourjourney when I mean like, oh I'm
doing better, it's like every daysin your journey at the end of the
day, because it's like like you'llbe feeling some type of way. Everything's

(48:19):
fucking like you've been building in yourmind, like you've been building everything up,
like building a fucking sandcastle. Everythingsolid, okay, I know I
feel, and then all of asudden, maybe you don't like get enough
water, you start getting a littlehead. I don't know what the fuck
triggers it. But then all ofa sudden, that's all completely gone.
It feels like and you have noperception of like what actually is connected into
you. And then and then youdon't know what or for me, I

(48:43):
don't know what to think about.So then immediately fill my brain with like
all the things that I should do. And then that's like and then I'm
like, oh my god, that'ssounds like way too overwhelming, Like I
can't turn off thinking about what Ihave to do. So then I usually
like will like smoke and then fuckingblock that shit out and then it wears
off and then it's usually the samecycle again. But that's pretty much how

(49:07):
I would say it, like itfeels. It's just like it's hard to
explain. Like I'll say what happenedthe other day, Like I was staying
with Maverick, and I came outto Texas really for my mental health because
I was like so stuck in likea bunch of ruts in San Diego.
I literally came here with like aone way flight just to like be stimulated
with like new stuff and make myselfuncomfortable because I really need that. Yeah,

(49:28):
so that's like literally why I'm here. And I was staying at his
house and then like randomly one night, I was just like I got super
into my head. I started likethinking he was all mad and Gauge was
all mad and like they didn't wantme there, and which was not true,
No, it wasn't true. ButI was like, oh, I
was like losing all this like motivationI built up, and I was like
I was like fuck this, likeI don't want I was torded to text

(49:50):
my mom was like I think I'mjust gonna fly home tomorrow and then I
was just like, all right,I'm just gonna get a hotel because I
just need to like be in myown space. So then I got a
hotel, but I didn't even tellhim, so he's like where are you?
And I was like, oh,I got a hotel, and he's
like what the fuck? Like whyAnd I don't remember when I said.
We're just like I need I needmy own bathroom or something. No,
I was like, I was like, bro, I just need my own

(50:12):
fucking space because I can't think aboutmy life. Like every time I'm be
hanging around them, it was justlike Gauge is constantly chilling and we're just
like they're playing video games and they'regetting food in this and I have I
need to I need to sit downfor like multiple hours a day and like
re think about what I think.Like it sounds crazy, but every morning
I wake up like kind of onzero. You're already on age when you

(50:34):
wake up in the morning. No, Like I wake up and I forget
how I feel like and I haveto rebuild that. So like I need
multiple hours usually in the day tolike reconstruct how I think and what I
feel about the world. And Ihadn't done that for like four days with
them, because it was just likeit was usually just like with Gauge.
We were kind of going out,we were staying up late, and I
would wake up late and like Iwould I'd just been on a good rhythm
back home, so like I waslike getting myself to work out again and

(50:57):
stuff, and then I was gettingoff all that, so I felt like,
all right, I kind of needto get away from them and that,
so I think I made I startedmaking up reasons why it would be
okay to get away from them,and then because it was just like I'm
I basically remember telling myself that I'mgoing back down my same spiral and then
I freaked the fuck out and thenleft. Yeah, so that's pretty much
what it. Yeah, I mean, you any camping. I kind of

(51:20):
just started getting into like outdoorsy stuff. I just did a van tour like
in December, and then, Imean, I love fishing boats like I
love fishing and going on boats andbeing outdoors and stuff, trying to do
that more right now, like backhome, I'm still sorting all this shit
out, like I'm in the middleof this shit like right now. But
back home I'm trying to sort outwhere I live currently, because that's another
fucking factor that I wasn't even mentioning, Like I I had like a all

(51:45):
this crazy stuff happened, and Ijust kind of a lot of stuff in
my life stopped. So I gotout of relationship like three months ago,
and then that was No. Yeah, that's like a weird thing in itself.
I don't know what I was justabout to say about that. Do
you remember I was just going withthat. Yeah, it does. Look
at them. Just remember, Idon't know. Bro. Chicks come and
go, but the true one willstay. No, that's the thing.

(52:07):
And if you kick her to thecurb, she wasn't the right one.
Oh I did. Yeah, Iknow, bro, I don't know.
Bro emotions are crazy. Bro.I feel like that's just age. It
comes with age. I mean soI felt like I was just like being
I was old too. Well,this is off that, this will be

(52:30):
off the air type deal. ButI was married at a young age and
I'll explain a little more off theair, but sometimes you do sit.
No, we're not off the air. I just said you would know.
I said, we'll have a conversation. Go ahead, anyway, you're still
find No. I mean, it'snot like the FDA's out there. That's

(52:53):
some that's some California vape, isn'tit. Oh, it's some Texas,
isn't Yeah, that's some weak shit. What is it? That's some seven
to eleven. It's like the saltnicotine. So it's like the super strong
stuff, but it's not fucking there'sno weed in the Sorry, my thoughts
keep going all over the place.No, I mean, I forgot it's

(53:14):
just about it say about the girlbecause it was leading to something. But
at the end of the day,it I mean, you're gonna space out,
You're gonna do stuff. You've gota lot of shit going out on
your head and you're trying to clearthat. And that's what you've been trying
to do the last six months.Yeah, and it takes time what you
need to. I mean, I'mnot gonna tell you how to leave your
life, but I've learned having Iwould say four to five people I trust

(53:37):
with everything in my corner. Andyeah, you can have a hundred,
you know, people that are justover here voices talking. You don't soak
in what they're saying. These fivepeople are the people you trust with everything.
Almost Yeah, Now I keep itdown to there's mainly two to three
that I go to with everything,and if I sounding board off them,

(54:00):
they tell me and the consensus is, Matt, you're a fuck up.
Do this. Try this. Chancesare most time they don't tell me that.
They're like, hey, dude,you're doing right. Why don't you
try to tweak here? We justhad a conversation about this two days ago.
Just find somebody to help bring you. Instead of worrying about ten things
right now, whittle that down totwo things you can work on today.

(54:22):
What do you say, don't tryto control something you can't control right now
or some shit, or don't freakout about what you can't control. What's
that shot you say? I mean, the gist of it isn't don't worry
about things you can't control, youknow, worry about the things that you
can. So, I mean tome, with every issue or problem that
ever comes across your mental desk,it goes into one of two fucking categories.

(54:45):
Right, Can I do something aboutthis? Yes, then fucking do
something about it. The answer isno, stop fucking worrying about it.
But in terms of the you know, feeling like you're in a sale or
a fucking rowboat floating around in thesea. Is that that is what's happening?
Yeah? Is that the thing withlife is that everybody's life is essentially

(55:07):
that, is that if if thereisn't a direction, if there's not routine,
if there's not a plan, andthere's no sense of urgency, right
like, if you have enough moneyto where you don't really need to worry
about shit and you don't have anythingto fucking do, Yeah, like Idle
Hands or the Devil's Workshop, You'regonna lose your fucking mind. Yeah.
The reason I ask about camping isthat would I would bet every fucking thing

(55:29):
in this room that if you wentand spent three days camping And I'm not
talking about glamping in a van,talking about actual camping where you're in like
a national forest like blm Land,not even a campsite where you take all
of your own ship there, rightand you wake up with the sun and
all fucking day long you're worried aboutgathering wood, getting fucking water purified to

(55:50):
drink, getting your ship set up, moving your campsite to wherever it is,
making sure that your shelters, fuckingsolid, prepping for the night because
when it gets dark, can't seea fucking thing. Making sure that all
all of those things are the waythey need to be. You do that
for three days straight, right,And what I will tell you is that
during that three days, what youwon't think about is how fucked your life
is, how depressed you are,some check that you just shit shit canned,

(56:14):
you know what state your businesses are, and you won't think about any
of that because you're you're focused singularlyon the things that actually matter. But
but that's the thing, man,I be in my head, I can
multitask, and I'll bet you won't. Here's what I will say that no
shop, no water like that everyyes like no. I mean you you
bring the bearer essentials, right,but you're not going in California where it's

(56:37):
fucking seventy eight degrees and you're notgoing to freeze to death. I'm saying,
be in a place where it's goingto challenge you. Yeah, you
know, and I that makes sense. You literally focus on like surviving survival
skills that are like basic human necessity, and yeah, that that makes you
because the environment, environmental conditions willhumble everybody. Yeah no, but I

(56:58):
do. I do also want tosay I don't know. I feel like
and again it's also I feel likeI got a lot to myself, but
I don't feel like I'm lying.I think like I've been on a really
good wave. Like I feel likeI've kind of taken enough time after doing
all my shit that I'm like gettingmy ship back together, and I do
mentally feel better. I mean,I was fucking a super anxious today and
shit, but like I get betterat dealing with it in different different ways,

(57:21):
I guess of dealing with it andkind of coming to I feel like
I had to come to some conclusionof like, all right, what do
I love so I can just startdoing it? And like I'm kind of
just now realizing I just did thislike stunt where I backed looked over our
friends like Bugatti, and I waslike, I like stunts, Like what
the fuck have I been doing?Like for seven years of my life,
I was at the skate park tryingto do scary ass tricks that would like
hurt myself, but I would belike the first one to land it.

(57:42):
And so after doing that, I'mlike, Okay, I like doing that.
Why have I stopped doing that forso long? And like I said,
I signed the new management and I'vetaken enough mental break. I feel
like I am building in a positivedirection. And I like to say that
for me because like I leave conversationsand my mind's wherever the conversation was that
So like I like to add thatbecause I do feel like I've made good

(58:04):
progress and I've and I've given myselflike much needed time to just take a
damn mental break for a couple ofmonths, which is so mentally. How
you feel if you tell your friendno, my friend wants to go do
something and you don't feel like doingit. How often do you say no?
I always say yes, never saysno, and he would you like
try to say no? But solet me ask the question again. Think
about it and make sure you answerit right. Your friend asked you to

(58:29):
do something you don't want to do. How many times do you say no?
Are you asking me? I don'tsay no, but I should say
other times where you don't want todo them? Or do you? Are
you just always wanting? Like?Yeah, I just feel like like I
kind of like let life take mewhere the fuck it takes me because I
just don't know what the fuck iseven going on most of the time.
So like you no, no,like no offense, like to this,

(58:51):
like I just exist. It waslike pulling teeth and nails to get tanned
here. But then overthink yeah,but he doesn't say no. He ends
up. But here's the thing,and I can't remember who. I think
it was your ass. I thinkit was his ass again, because I've
I've learned a lot from him businesswise and everything else. But it's he
came up to one day and he'slike, I'm to the age tour.

(59:14):
I can I don't have to doshit. I don't want to fucking do
and you know, and I waslike yeah. Later that night, my
wife's like, hey, I wantto do this. I'm like no,
And then I was like I don'tknow if I could say that you realize
you're a man. And then andthen she she's like, Okay, the

(59:35):
fuck just happened there. It's atrap. I ain't going to sleep,
but I've been to that point towhere I don't want to disappoint people,
so I'd say yes, yes,yes, yes yes, And it becomes
very hard on you to not yougotta sometimes you gotta say no. But
this is the thing, there's onlycertain people I want to say no too,
like like Maverick's like my oldest friend. So like that's just like time

(01:00:00):
whenever we get to go fishing orsome shit. Yeah, I always say
it's to that shit. But backhome, I've gotten better at pushing away
the random nobodies that are like whyare you in my life? Like hold
on, let me think about thisfor two seconds, Like, no,
I'm not gonna hang out with you. So I think with those people,
I've gotten better because before I wasjust like so amazed that all this shit
was even happening to me. Ididn't say no to anything because I just
didn't know what was a good opportunityor what wasn't. So I think with

(01:00:22):
that stuff, I've gotten better.But I do. I also, I'm
picking up on what you're What you'resaying is like that's exactly what I was
kind of fee was about, islike I wasted too much time doing all
that shit with my other friends,and they overwhelmed the funk out of me,
and then not something I have todeal with. You have to take
because you were talking about that cookieand that rewarding your time and stuff like
that. If you're always saying yesto them, you never have time for

(01:00:44):
you. Yeah, and you haveto have time for you. Yeah.
I mean, even if you're ina marriage with a family, there has
to be a point to where you'relike, I need thirty minutes. I
need an hour of just me.Whether that thirty minutes or hours broke up
throughout the day you got. Imean there were times raising a kid and
I know your ass is done.I know that, dude, over if

(01:01:05):
the computer's done it, you gota kid, kids screaming like a mother
baby, I gotta ship. Youain't gotta ship. You're just gonna go
in the bathroom, sit there andfucking read a magazine or do something just
to get some time to not sayyes to just sit back and like mother
fuck you know, just relax.You have to in my mind, and
I could be totally fucked, butyou have to take time for you.

(01:01:28):
No, this is like really greatrespective I've never thought about, like literally
the things you guys are saying,because I feel like I don't know,
I've been having like a hard time, Like I said, like everything's intense
in my mind of like Okay,I'm becoming like an adult now. I
have to think about things like anadult. But how does an adult thing
like? I don't know, so, like um in your guys's head,
like you feel like there was aI mean, you were in the fucking

(01:01:50):
Navy for twelve years, bro,like you were working your fucking ass or
not the Navy. Navy seals likeyou were working your fucking asshow so this
might be even a dumb question toyou, but I feel like at some
point, actually, sorry, letme let me start with this, like
what's the meaning of life to youguys? Like, is the meaning of
life like as a man to work? Oh, it's purpose, doesn't I
mean it's gonna be different for everybody. So that's like the challenging thing is

(01:02:10):
then finding purpose in something you canwork hard at. Yeah. So,
but at some point did you likeas like you were a young kid fucking
around. I'm sure at one pointyou're sucking around like being a kid,
and you were like, all right, I'm a fucking man, like it's
like it's my duty to fucking geta job and carrying on, Wade,
like Maverick, why you were evensaying that, Like, you know,
it's your job to you know,you have rent to pay, you have

(01:02:30):
your car, this that like asa man, that's your duty. Do
you feel especially Yeah, I meanso for me. I joined the Navy
at seventeen. At nineteen, Iwas at Seal Team three getting ready to
go on my first fucking deployment.So, um, you know, as
far as growing up overnight, yeah, I mean the day that you show
up at a seal team your respectiveof how old you are, like you're

(01:02:51):
surrounded by two hundred you know,combat proven, growing ass fucking men that
you know have have gone all overthe world and shot people in the face
for Uncle Sam. So like that, there is no fuck around or you
know, time to be a kidor any of that shit. It's deathly
serious the second you show up.Having said that, I also think that

(01:03:13):
that's a lot of the reason whyI don't have a lot of the same
hurdles that a lot of people haveis that, you know, from the
day I left home up until Iwas thirty years old, like the routine,
the structure, the seriousness, thebeing able to focus on things that
are are literally life and death keepyou so fucking focused. And you know,

(01:03:37):
meditation is powerful because it's a singularfocus on one thing. It doesn't
matter what that one thing is,but that's why it's mentally beneficial. And
so in that position you have,I will call it the luxury of being
able to being able to stay solaser focused on things that are are important,
they're fulfilling, they're purposeful, andthey give you meaning that. You

(01:03:57):
know, spending eighteen to thirty inthat environment, being inundated with it has
hardwired me for the rest of mylife that way, you know. So
for me, it's it's very easyto look at really anybody and see,
Okay, I can tell you whatthe fucking problem is. The problem is
is you don't have any real direction. And I don't mean that as a
slight I just means as from ascheduling standpoint, like if you say,

(01:04:18):
okay, I don't give a fuckwhat I do the night before, I'm
going to get up at six fortyfive every morning, the first fucking thing
I'm gonna do is down five ouncesof water and I'm gonna go for a
twenty minute walk with no headphones,with no sunglasses on every fucking morning,
no matter what's going on, I'mgoing to do that that first, right,
and then from there the rest ofyour day is still planned, but

(01:04:39):
you know what's coming, you knowwhat to expect, and then you know
that next morning you're right. Sothat by itself, I can tell you
if you hold yourself accountable to justsomething that simple right twenty minutes is there's
really all your carving out of yourday. But what you're committing yourself too
is getting up at a specific timebefore you would wake up on your own.
So what that also does is thatcuts out twelve hours of bullshit that

(01:05:00):
you probably would have partaken in priorto six forty five because you weren't holding
yourself accountable. Yeah, you know, so that that simple task right by
itself basically hard wires the rest ofthe day for productivity. I'm gonna take
that advice. Yeah, I mean, it's it would be a game changer,

(01:05:20):
Argaran. So I don't have anystructure, like that's like the thing
about me. I'm like a bigadhd ball of like fucking stress. Like
everything's just oh in the moment,nothing's like that's literally how I've operated since
I was twelve. It's unhealthy.Yeah, no, I know, it's
very unhealthy. It feels that wayphysically. Neither of us, I would
say, have to wake up ata certain time every day. No,

(01:05:41):
I'm hardwired to where I'm up almostevery day at six thirty. Like,
if I sleep till nine thirty,I can think of maybe two or three
times. Now I'm messaging him.God damn, I slept till nine thirty.
You know. I felt like Iwasted two or three hours in the
day. But every day I wakeup at six thirty, and it's automatic.
The ship I do from six thirtyto seven thirty. Every day,

(01:06:02):
it's pretty much the same thing.And if I miss one of those minute
things I do in that hour,one thing, And I realized that at
eight thirty, it's like, whatthe fuck man did? I just fuck
up my whole day because it's soroutine to do that same fucking shit every
day, and it, like yousaid, it hard wires and it changes

(01:06:24):
everything. You know. My Saturdaysare different, My Sundays are different because
in my head, I'm always wakingup. I'm always doing this. Yeah,
yeah, every morning, I getup at six thirty and I go
for a fucking twenty minute walk everyfucking morning, you know, And I
message him loser because I'm drinking acoke and eating doughnuts. And it's funny.
I look back on when, likethe times I was doing like daily

(01:06:45):
vlogs for like two years, andI literally look back in my life was
better and I was more happier whenI was like even when I was working
that hard. But at some pointI convinced myself to like, oh,
this is too much, like Ineed to just like experience like not doing
this. And then like I literallythink back when I had that struck sure,
and it was like I knew everyday I did post a view at
twelve and I had to edit itit that night before and I had to
do my thumbnail on the morning,and like this that this that. It

(01:07:06):
was like, I think about thatbefore, and it's way better quality of
life because I knew what I wasdoing every day and I didn't have time
to like think about my feelings reallylike it was just yeah, you know
what you're doing. But then that'salso where it's like then you're committing I
don't know where the overwhelming part oflike that for me is is like you
just mindlessly commit to something and thenI overthink about this whole social media thing

(01:07:30):
because it really does affect people,and like I overthink of what I would
put out or not put out,or like what people are influenced by.
Even if I'm like buying a Lamborghini, Like I don't know, Lamborghinis aren't
fucking real, Like they're not it'sa real. Yeah, it's a hard
but it's I know, I justsold mine, but like it's just it's
just like an object. I don'tknow. So then me being like,
guys, this Lambo is like sofucking cool, like like everyone should get

(01:07:54):
a Lambo and then these kids grindtheir whole life and then they get Lambo,
but that Lambo didn't even fulfill thembecause that wasn't their purpose, Like
that was my purpose. But notthere's like I literally overthink like so much
bullshit like that. It's just annoying. The easy way to combat that is
just be authentic, right, Butbut there's a caveat with that. Obviously
the content is huge, So beauthentic and then create around that. Ye
still do all. That's what I'vebeen working to get my mind back to

(01:08:15):
a place of being comfortable. Solike I know what I'm signing myself up
for, and I I just knowwhat I'm gonna do that day is not
something I'll regret, I guess,but I did not like I regret any
of this shit I did in thelast five years. I mean a couple
of things, but last two hoursmaybe, but yeah, what probably about
the last two hours, right me? Yeah? No. So you know

(01:08:35):
how a founder's channel, you know, you know, like anything I say,
kids, anybody under twenty five seemslike they don't understand sarcasm at all.
I'm autistic, but I just don'tpick up on it. We're very
sarcastic, the dry sense of youknow, I literally always had that problem.
People try to do that shit,and sometimes I pick up on it.
Sometimes I don't. We're just fuckingwith you. Yeah, oh see

(01:09:00):
see what I'm saying. Give youthe heads up on that. I'll just
be dead ass. I'm just like, oh no, I don't know what's
going on. Take everything literal,Oh literally, I do. Wait,
how'd you find Tanners channel? Socrazy enough? I was looking for inspiration
starting this channel, and we startedwith cars, and I found this kid,
young ass kid, I can't rememberwhat car he's driving, and this

(01:09:21):
chick with her damn boobs and I'mlike, I got a lot of motherfuckers,
what the fuck? And I andthen I'm sitting there looking like,
what the fuck's this kid doing?You know? And then I really went
into looking and watching your stuff,and I'm like, his contents not my

(01:09:43):
style because it's I don't honestly,I'm fat and I don't give two shits
about trying to get on a scooter. But I watched the Grind like I
watched this stupid fool pull a fuckingcar and your four yeer at your old
house. It's like, that's someshit I would do to you if we
has had fuck around time now.And I was like, it's not me,

(01:10:05):
but it's so cool watching this.And it's like I said about Logan,
there's some things I'd love to meetLogan, talk to Logan should I'd
love to have him on here,but his channel's not for me. But
I always watch it because I lovedwatching the machine work and it was just
like watching you grow the machine youcreated. And I kind of mentioned to

(01:10:26):
Maverick, I said, you know, as he's going through depression, I
bet you I know what it is. And I kind of mentioned it to
Maverick a little bit and he's like, dude, yeah, you hit it
pretty much on the head. AndI just want to say, at your
age, and I'm forty two,it's an inspiration watching someone at your age
do what you've done. Thank you. I mean as someone who I bust

(01:10:48):
my ass every day and it's coolto see. And it's not like I'm
sitting here this fucking little lucky motherfucker. You know what six numbers did you
pick to win that lottery? Youknow? No, I see the grind
And a lot of people that aren'tcreators on YouTube or influencers or uninfluencers,

(01:11:09):
they don't get it. They thinkit's just in a way, it is
a lottery ticket, but it alsotakes the balls to pick up that camera
and put your life in front ofit. And I would say, I
think you're doing a great job.They're just you gotta adapt to your mind's
developing into an adult. Yeah,you're growing. Your audience isn't always growing

(01:11:30):
with you. So it's shell shockwhen you put up something you're passionate about
and it's like, why didn't myaudience love it? Well? Your audience
if you would have pulled out somelegos and built a Lego Castle. They'd
have been like, fuck yeah,I want to build a jawbridge, you
know, because they're younger. Butthen you got the motherfuckers like me,
how a damn duke. I thinkif you went in the third you could

(01:11:51):
have got them titties out, youknow, smiley face over them nipples next
time. But so it's cool watchingthe transition. Just don't rush into it.
You've got to where you are bybeing you, stay you. You
don't have to rush to be anadult. That's what I've been fighting,
like, I don't know, Ihave these voices in my head, could

(01:12:13):
me sometimes, but at the endof the day, you just you're in
a spot to where you can dopeople like us would have loved to done
at twenty two and relax and fuckingenjoy life. What you're doing at twenty
two, we're doing it fucking fortytwo and forty three. Yell, you

(01:12:34):
see what I'm saying. Yeah,so you have almost a twenty year jump
on us to enjoy your life fortwenty more years than we do. So
don't think of that in a negativething, of that as a huge fucking
positive. And I've like in thisbreak too, I've finally been able to
like appreciate what you're saying, likeliterally that and like think about things and

(01:12:54):
understand some of the stuff you've donefor your mom. Yeah, no,
seriously and like in my like alot of my family and just actually taking
a second to think about it.And that's that's helped the process too,
And just getting a good perspective oflike what's going on, like I said,
because it was just like sixteen tonow all videos and it was like
I had no perception of yeah,anything. So I've really feel like I've

(01:13:15):
been able to be grateful for thatstuff more. We talk about a lot.
And I got a daughter, she'stwenty four. Also got a baby
who's eight weeks. But so thishere, social media. This is the
machine that works social media now,not computers like us growing up, you
know, with learning and watching theInternet evolve. So social media, you

(01:13:35):
think, and I would say,you don't think this, but a lot
of people think that. If thisone person messages me that I'm a piece
of shit? Am I a pieceof shit? And my way of thinking
it, man, if you won'tcall me a piece of shit in person,
and I'll never probably meet this dumbmotherfucker that call me a piece of
shit? Anyway, Why do Ilet that affect me? Yeah? Same

(01:13:57):
with you. You have what tenpoint three millions up not to mention your
Instagram, your Facebook and all that. So I imagine with all the positive
you get, there's some negative thatcomes with that. Oh yeah, you
know to me, and I wasbig on it when we started, and
he was like, man, justfuck, I'm ignormal, you know,
because I try to answer everything.It's hard because I'm a people pleaser.

(01:14:19):
Yeah, I'm a people pleaser.But at the end of the day,
there's, like I said, yourcontent isn't my type of content. But
as a creator, I can respectand I watch what you do because it's
fucking interesting watching the machine. SoI respect it that way. But then
again, you're gonna get another fortytwo year old like me who don't understand

(01:14:39):
what you're doing and he's like,you piece of shit, lucky little Yeah,
you know you're gonna have that.I don't fuck that dude, you
know, don't let that one.It's a chick be like showing you titty.
So yeah, I mean, herethe uneasy way to reconcile that is
as it relates to other peop people'sopinions of you is ask yourself, is

(01:15:02):
this somebody I would ask their advice. If the answer is no, then
it doesn't matter what they think.Yeah, and that's good or bad,
right, because one of the bigproblems I see with a lot of people
with you know, big brands asfar as content creation and stuff like that,
as they let the overwhelming positive inflatetheir ego. Also yeah right,

(01:15:23):
so so on the same same tokenor in the same vein. If if
it's not somebody you would ask theiradvice, don't worry about what they say
either way. Don't let a positivemake you think you're better than you are,
but don't let the negative fucking knockdown your house of cards. Yeah,
a drake, a rapper, hesaid it a long time ago.
Don't get caught up in the highsand the lows. Yeah, I've tried.

(01:15:43):
I've definitely kept that in mind.But it is challenging sometimes. Yeah,
they happen. But I told youwhat you're saying, you got about
it. You just gotta ignore it. You got about three more years to
where then you're really going to belike, you know what, fuck these
people? I know, No I'mliterally like, I'm really excited for the
next five years because everything I knowwe were talking about, like the hard

(01:16:04):
work stuff, but like I wasliterally just doing what was fun in the
moment, like the whole time,so I would work knowing it worked like
really well. And I mean Iwas crying like every day. It was
Merch Brandon video, this, that, Facebook everything. But that's why I'm
so extra excited for these next fiveyears because i feel like I've collected myself
as an individual more and I'm growingup more, and it's been challenging.

(01:16:24):
I don't know why it feels challengingto me, but it's just a weird
Life in general is fucking weird.I don't know you guys feel that way
at your age, Like life's fuckingcrazy. I don't even know what that's
all right, we are old,but uh, I mean to me,
the thing is, don't don't notdo what you what you like. I
mean, continue to do what youlike and what makes you happy. Just
be structured about it, like there'sone thing you take from this whole thing,

(01:16:45):
at least from this side of thedesk, or at least from from
my side of it is fucking structure. No, I'm going to take your
advice and that I wouldn't take anyof mine. Yeah, no, bro,
so one thing, my wife.My wife's younger than May. She's
twenty seven, twenty eight. I'mgonna be in trouble. Gon edit that.
No, just get uh. That'ssaying you only live once, you

(01:17:08):
only live once. My wife lookedat me one day and she said,
that's not true. It's what areyou talking about. She said, you
live every day, you only dieonce. That shit fucked me up for
a little bit too, you know, because I'm like, God, damn
you die on that bitch is right, she is right. I mean what
if you don't reincarnate or anything.I mean, that's a whole nother like

(01:17:31):
you have to come back tomorrow becauseas a whole No, don't tell you.
I've gone down every fucking rabbit holepossible. Bro. Well, say
I'm Indian, so they believe somethingtotally different. Do you think that the
Earth is flat? I don't.I don't believe anything. No, But
I just it was a mean question, like I want to ask because it's
a mean question. I mean,I just want to know what you guys

(01:17:51):
think. I don't think it is, but I also don't think the moon
landing is real. I was gonnaask my next question, what about the
fall the Cabal. I'm not evengonna get into it. I never made
him. H Maybe you cut thatout? Now? Do you know what
qan on is? Oh? God, Bro, I'm saying they're jokes,

(01:18:14):
but I feel like you guys wouldn'tknow what that is. I'm familiar with
it, but he gets if it'slike. I wouldn't down all that shit,
Bro, I've been on everything everyI would love to have a conspiracy.
Nine eleven was inside job. Ihad to be one percent, but
I don't is not allowed to sayon a podcast, say whatever you want
on podcast whatever point nine percent?What are they gonna do? Not give

(01:18:35):
us money? Obviously, I don'tknow that job. I'd just be overthinking
about that shit. That's what I'msaying. This entertainment world, it's way
bigger and scared than I like youthink. Try underthinking for a little while.
I don't know how to do that, bro. This fool tells me
that all the time I went inthe bathroom to day to go pe bro,
and I convinced myself that I nolonger believe in consciousness, bro,

(01:18:55):
Like I was just taking a piss. Yeah, how much we do you
smell? That? Like? Onetime? Today? I mean for how
long I hit a ball rate?Like? Was it? It's not even
that, bro, this is Istarted smoking weed to turn this shit off,
and now they've merged together. Butare you I used to go to
bed every night medical or street streetwell like dis bo. No I know,

(01:19:16):
bro, But I'm saying I startedsmoking weed because these thoughts were gnarlier
and I didn't know how to controlthem. And then now I'm just like,
now the two meats have fused,and now I overthink all the time.
Anyways, Yeah, no matter what, it's just like the like when
I smoke, I probably getting alittle deeper states of mine. Structural help
with that, Yeah, I'm sayingI literally didn't go to like any sort

(01:19:38):
of school. I raised myself.I wake up pretty much. I liked
seven am every day. I didn'tsay if you need some structure, you
can bring your ass up here.Out here, I've about fast food and
skate parks. Have you up herein a little maid's outfit, vacuument and
ship? Have you? Have youever been in a bite suit for a
for a dog like a police dog. No, that'll keep you from overthinking

(01:20:00):
do it all right? Well,that's might be doing dumb shit all the
time because I don't hold like it'llbe some good content present that hurt when
you could. I won't tell.Do you think your viewers are gonna hate
me again? And like um again, like unthankful? So because I'm literally
just being honest, I don't careanymore and I'm just living in like like
whatever. But say we get fivecomments that watch the channel because he's a

(01:20:23):
Navy seal, and we get somepeople who want just had this like annoying
YouTuber kid on. But at theend of the day, it's our choice,
our show to whoever we want tointerview. I think your story about
depression coming up and what you've donewith your life from twelve one it is
interesting to me. I'm sure it'sinteresting to Mike, and it's hire show
to want you on here. Ifthey don't like it, there's a little

(01:20:44):
button stuck in the top right now, I will I will say our viewership
is pretty mature and and open minded. I mean, I like on my
microp show, I've had you know, all different types of guests on UM,
you know, and some of themI've challenged their position some of them,
you know, we think very likeminded and everything in between. And
yes, there's always going to bethe handful of comments that are hateful or

(01:21:08):
because like this type of stuff likeI'd never talked about, i mean in
our podcast a while ago, butlike right now, I'm trying to not
like normally, I have so manywalls up and I'm like calculating everything I'm
trying to say, so it's likemakes sense with the storyline I'm trying to
build and everything, but I'm notdoing that right now, so I'm just
like talking. It's good. Yeah, I Mean. The thing is,
we want you relaxed, talking aboutwhat you want. We don't want to

(01:21:28):
force you to say shit you don'twant to sell. Yeah, you know,
so that's that's pretty I was reallyexcited to come on here because it's
just like it's like therapy a littlebit. Yeah. I was like before
this, I was thinking that,I was like, I'm excited to just
get a talk for like an hour. Yeah, I mean, and I've
told Maverick a couple of times someof the shit you're going through. I've
gone through and I don't mind talkingto you about it. I'm not a
therapist. Yeah, ain't even Ohyeah, I'm a fucking I'm a dumbass

(01:21:54):
plumber. I'm also a dropout.You know. I dropped out tenth grade
to help my mom with bills.I did go back and get my diploma
just because I needed that sense offinishing. And I couldn't sit there and
tell my daughter, Hey, yougot to finish school. You know.
I didn't want to be that asshole. It's like, hey, I didn't
do it, but you have to. You know. Now she's a Baylor

(01:22:15):
graduate and sad my girlfriend. Huh, say my girlfriend, she's a Baylor
grat. She's a Baylor grawl.You have a girlfriend, Yeah, what's
her degree in? She's a nickyou nurse mets A Dallas. My daughter
is nick you nurse at Baylor Dallas. Oh, guys hung out all day

(01:22:39):
to day and this is just howyou ain't been went this fool all day.
I thought you guys went to thefucking me dude, we went to
Basically all I did was going andhe's like, oh, if you're gonna
be here all day? And thefive minutes later we're like going over rod.
Yeah, that's how I'm used tolike working on cars. It just
takes a way too long because somethingalways goes wrong. I'm I've been working
on cars probably longer and you've beenlive. Yeah, but I want to

(01:23:00):
switch one gear real quick? Doyou do? Both of you guys have
like a Pinnacled dream car? Yeah, what is it? A Singer Porsche
at mine? Since I was alittle I always wanted a law Ferrari.
So you're on his page, thenI'm a law Ferrari free. Yeah,
that's that's that's in it. Butsee, I'm a total different person.

(01:23:21):
I don't like red anything. Really. I feel like I would have to
have read to me and to meand I think us growing up, magnum
p I was huge and Ferrari wasalways red because a magnum Pi and you
know Enzo Ferrari was everyone thought itwas red. But there it's a certain
type of red that we never see. Uh, you rarely see Enzo's true

(01:23:45):
red. Really, it's not thered you see on say Gauge's Dads.
It's not the same as Enzo.So no, it's you can get it
on a pieceta like he had theclosest the pista. Yeah, the closest
I've seen to it was on apista he looked at it was the actual

(01:24:06):
end Zoe red and it's actually moreorange than red. I would own that
red, but regular red is not. Can you pull guys, Yeah,
I don't. Yeah, we weboth. That's why you said you don't
necessarily love Porsche. No, no, I've had the two of them,
but they just didn't do it foryou. No, they're for me.

(01:24:29):
It's it's the emotion. To me, it's kind of like, uh oh.
To me, Porsche is the chickthat just fucking lays there. Look
up end Zoe. That's what aPorsche is to me. It's outside of
the GT cars. The GT carsare a different story. But GT cars
on the streets suck and I don'twant to track a car. I want
to drive on the street. Soto me, like the that's the like
if you could put the hydraulics thatare in his purf in a Porsche like

(01:24:54):
a GT three or a two RS, then you'd have my attention for one
hundred percent. Sure, But no, I just uh you know, to
me, they lack the connection tothe road and the emotion and the passion
behind wanting to drive a car,whereas Ferraris and Lamborghinis, I would say
the same thing about McLarens. Ithink they're pretty sterile and dead that way

(01:25:15):
too. Even though they're blisteringly fast, they're not that fun to drive,
or at least from my experience.But yeah, would you say that Porsches
are like two balanced, like it'snot fun? Kind of um, But
you know, more than anything,it's just like there's no there's no real
character to them. You know.It's not that they're not fast. It's
a textbook car, right, It'slike it's over engineered to the point where

(01:25:35):
it's boring. I get what you'resaying. I feel it. Yeah,
but that's what makes it a winningcar. But is it a winning car
because past the Snurmberg lap time andas the fastest Yeah? But I mean
again, like Stockholm, the whateverone is on the and then like Hunter
Frost pulls up does some sketchy,gnarly shit, he wins. I mean

(01:25:56):
again, like he won because hedid the sketchy nearly shit. Right.
So you take us take a gT two R S right and and go
drive it just around here right theway you would drive it on a nerburg
Ring, and tell me if youenjoyed it. I guess this is gonna
be fuck. No, I didn'tlike my hemorrhoids burst. I chipped my
fucking teeth and my spines compressed.Now because I'm in this car with a

(01:26:16):
double wishbone front end and a suspensionthat doesn't exist, like, I'll take
you for a right fuck. Youcan drive the piece then, and if
you take every experience you've ever hadin any Porsche you've ever driven and compare
it to to take on a laparound here in the pista, and tell
me if you still think pors youif you do, yeah, I mean

(01:26:38):
I'm gonna I'm gonna call the policeand I'm gonna say my car was stolen.
So you're gonna have to drive itspirit spirited, all right, Okay,
deal you would actually, I thinkyou would gain a little bit of
probably. If it doesn't make youwant to stick your dick in the gas
tank, I'll give you one hundreddollars. Yeah. So yeah, that's
my pista. Oh I think's fuckingsixy. Yeah. We had that track.

(01:27:00):
One of them had that horse putback here just for this photo.
Shoot. Oh did they let youput it in in any mode? You
on it? Y? Oh yeah, it was like this like really wealthy
guy. I knew, and hehad just got it. He was the
first one in the US with one. He's like, we're taking it to
the track. He like ran itout the track. He's just like throw.
It's so fucking badass. That carmade me sell my regular four eighty

(01:27:20):
eight. Like three, you haveone. Two. I had our base.
I had a four eighty eight GTB, but mine was tune stage.
Shoot, we don't have anything.I guess the piece of stock with everything
else we have stupid. Well theseven six five I left stock. Yeah
you did, well, that's fine. Well so yeah, I mean I
had that for a few months.And to give you some perspective, I've

(01:27:42):
had the piece to for fifteen months. I've put eleven thousand miles on it.
Right then. I've had half adozen cars pull up that one back
up that you just had up.Um yeah, so um, I've had
that one for for the longest timeof any car by five five A.
Oh my gosh, And how didyou get it? There was a dealership

(01:28:03):
down in Houston that had it.I wasn't planning on anything. Did they
have to go seven six five?That thing's fucking narly too. How'd you
even get that? I mean,I've just found one in California and shipped
it here. But I only hadthe seven six five for about three months.
The sixty one thirty on the sevensix five was four point eight.

(01:28:23):
The pieces like five point nine.The McLaren is a much faster car.
The pieces at least ten times morefun to drive. Yeah, and the
piece to because of the seven sixfive starts shutting down at one eighty six
one nine. Yeah, the pieceto catches it, I mean the piece
that will do two eighteen piece thepieces stupid Jesus Christ. And then it
pulls hard at the top two likeit's it's really fast up you know,

(01:28:45):
one eighty to two ten. It'sfast even up there. You know they
call those the Widowmaker two or nownow it's the two. So when we
tell you the speeds our cars go, it ain't because we read it in
specs, because we it's not tested. It's tested every weekend. It'll be
tested time you get two. Imean I couldn't tell you a tonally you

(01:29:10):
too, I car I've only gonetwo hundred one time in a car and
I wasn't even driving down the streetearlier today. I mean, tomorrow morning
we'll be taking them both out andh I'm sure we'll hit it tomorrow morning
and then both of them you knowsome highway. Yeah, yeah, you
may want to leap some of thatshit out, yeah, John, John,
please maybe just the speed yeah,just like leap the fucking speed up.

(01:29:32):
But damn but u Yeah, it'sa I mean in that span of
time of me having the piece thatI had a twin turbot R eight,
I had a nine nine nine eleventurbos that was tuned down pipe and on
math. Jesus he didn't like that. No, I had h are you

(01:29:54):
twin turbo? Yeah? I hada four eight eight GTB. I had
h what else? Nine nine twoum that I tuned and down piped.
Still didn't like that. By comparison, I got a seven six five LT
and all of those cars came andgone, while I had the Pista and
it's and it stayed and now Ihave I have that in the twin turbo

(01:30:15):
perfamante. Yeah, just supercharge.Who did it? You are? Oh
wow? Yeah, it's ridiculous ofcourse. Yeah, I've been on anything
like that is on a like avery moded motorcycle. Yeah yeah, and
