(01:10):
back to the tentacles like a furrything, but with octopus or what well,
octopus have have how many I'm notgood with biology, but they have
a lot of hands, right,or what do you call those tentacles?
Yeah? Right, So if youhad eight hands and you had a hot
girl in front of you, youprobably want to use all eight hands.
So I think the fantasy is,you know, having eight eight hands to
do whatever you wanted to do withodd chick. But so, I mean,

(01:32):
is that there's four guys then oris it one? It's an actual
octopus with a lot of tentacles thatless girls, like you're in an octopus
costume. No, like you're anoctopus molesting a girl, like an octopus
molests a girl. I there's likethey use a real octopus. Yeah,
that's fu's shit. I mean,like doesn't that border on like fucking animal

(01:55):
cruelty or beast reality? Like Idon't think that. I don't think because
it's the other it's the octopus actuallydoing Yeah. But still, I mean
it's like if a woman blows ahorse. Yeah, it's still going to
jail for that. You're right,But in Brazil, in certain other countries
it's okay. I mean it happensto all the Thailand, anything goes right,
And in Japan, in fact,there's some fans of that genre as
well. From what I've heard,I'm coming. According to some studies or

(02:16):
even the people that I know reallywell that I lived with there, I'm
gonna I have a hot girl blowsa horse. Cruelty, I mean if
that bit should get in a war. I mean, cruelty is always in
the eye of the beholder. Imet a retired octopus once you're smoking a
cigarette and they were looking for somesome viagra or something that would work in

(02:37):
the octopus variety. I think theywere doing some Japanese DNA and other type
of testing at the time to reviveretired octopus tentacle six nation videos. Again
only what I've heard. We reallyneed to go to Japan for a week.
Yeah, what what part did youlive in? I lived in the
Tokyo area for the most parts,so I was out ever travel much like,

(03:00):
oh yeah, rulers are their ruleas really Oh yeah, Japan's got
beautiful rural areas. And the greatpart about Japan's rural areas they are all
so different too. And there's becauseJapan had if you go back to the
history of Japan, Japan was umuh you know during the feudal period,
they were you know, locked down. There was no interaction with the outside
world. They closed their country,and during that time, all these local

(03:21):
areas that you know, the samuraiand all the other history of all this
stuff, these local areas developed theirown local cultures within the whole Japanese you
know country. So you think Japaneseis very homogeneous to very Japanese, but
you go to different areas, justtotally different ways of speaking, different ways
of say things, different food,even ramen. You know, I think
about ramen, how many different varietiesthere are. There's hundreds, maybe thousands
of different varieties of different romans basedon the different areas of Japan, what

(03:43):
their local food was, what theygrew there, what their flavors they had.
It was a hot area where theyyou know, we're more salt was
consumed, as opposed up north wheremore miso and some of the colder areas
where they So it's really cool,man, there's so much variety within Japan.
Yeah, yeah, well it's acountry. I've so many airport Actually

(04:06):
the other day, I mean theywere selling them for it's on special puck
fifty for pik at. You youknow more about this stuff probably than I
do, to be honest with you. I watch a lot of stupid ship.
Not saying it stupid, it's justit's different. Oh and the whole
black black gum. Oh yeah,yeah. So I have a black employee,

(04:28):
and I shit you not. Everytime he comes up here. He
saw it. The first time helooked at him, He's like, what
the fuck, bro. I waslike, man, it's Japanese gum.
I said, they they're out ofwhite white, so I couldn't get any
of that. Every time he comeshere he pops that in. He said,
this is the gum of my people. I was gonna bring you actually
today, I got a little giftbag over there for you guys. But

(04:48):
we're gonna save him maybe for theend of this podcast or mine my podcast.
But I got a couple of surprisesfor you from Japan. I think
I go to Enjoy I look forBlack Black Issue. There has been a
run on the Black Black Really it'snot available, not even on the Zon.
Well perhaps on the Zon. Iwent to the actual traditional Japanese store
to get you the traditional NONZENI thatit is the new tradition as Amazon is

(05:11):
everything. Dude, you sold out. I'm freaking sold out, Mike.
I didn't think Matt was that easyas a sellout? Man? I mean,
why do you think we're so tight? You know? Yeah? Man,
everything tomorrow, all right, don'trub it in my face. Man.
I actually went try to support aJapanese business that's working hard here in
the DFW area meets. The storesgot all the food and they're completely out.

(05:33):
Maybe they got their shit on Amazon. Maybe they should go on Amazon.
Maybe they should Huh. I wouldhave had I could have ordered the
yes and had it here on time. Yeah. Or they should just get
all this shit from Amazon and sellit in their store. Mark it up
there. They'll love that. They'lllove that strategy exactly word for Costco.

(05:54):
Yeah, it did. Man.Do you know what I speaking of Costco?
You know, it's funny when Ifirst moved back from Japan, speaking
about Japan in America and all thisstuff that I do, I used to
get you know, Costco. Youspend money that right, and you get
back the checks at the end ofthe year, the rewards checks, and
then you have the American Express cardand you get to two percent back.
And I used to max those outevery single year, thousands and thousands of
dollars dollars. And you know why, I would come. I moved back

(06:15):
from Japan, and I realized thatthey didn't have row gain in Japan,
you know, for the ball guys, for the especially this patched area up
here. The Japanese guys had thatscull. That's a good term. I
had heard that before. That isgreat. Well, we wanted to close
up some of those Japanese call thesex scull the sas thank you. I

(06:36):
would buy ro gain, I meanbuy cases and cases of row gain and
ship at the Japan back in twothousand, early two thousands, made a
fortune selling row gain to Japanese guysthanks to Costco. Yeah, that's that's
like, uh is there a there'sa fucking term for doing that, isn't
there? I gray market, graymarket, getting rogue. I'll tell you

(07:00):
every time I walked to the registerin Costco back in California, I'd walk
up the road and I have casesin cases. I'm time, you're not
even they said. They look atme. People stare at me, and
I always wear a hat, soi'd take it off a sin. That's
where it's pretty damn good. Don'tsay I drink the ship. I just
bathed in it. Man, yougotta see my back. I would tell
them my head's good, look atmy back. Did you did you ship

(07:21):
it over there? Or take itwith you? Or what? Ship them
over express? We had an ordertaking service in Japan that would collect the
orders, collect the money. Everynight they would they would send over the
information so in the morning I'd knowwho had to get Rogain ships. So
we'd express mail service to individual peoplein Japan their Rogain subscription. Yeah that's
full. Yeah. And then Costcohad to go open in Japan and start

(07:42):
selling it there too, and justripped the middle man out of the equations.
Damn it left me high and dryon row gain. That's why you
don't sell out to Amazon's wife.That's why I'll sell that. That's why
I'll sell out to AmAm. That'swhy you you well. So why hopefully
my hair stays put because I'm notbuying another damn rogaine from from from those
guys ever again. As you canget it on Amazon. Thank you have

(10:24):
sideways here? Yeah? The Iguess you'll learn, you know, we
learned from mistakes, right, welearned from things we did right and wrong
and very supposed to but supposed notalways right. Okay, guys, let
me tell you about a spongor.We got mint Mobile after years of fine
print contracts getting ripped up by thebig wireless providers. If they've learned anything

(10:45):
it's that there's always a catch.So when I first heard of Mintmobile offer
premium wireless starting at fifteen dollars amonth, I thought, what's the catch,
But after talking to them and usingtheir service, it all made sense.
There isn't one Mintmobile secret sauce isthat there is. They're the first

(11:07):
company to sell wireless service online onlythey cut out the costs of retail stores
pass those savings directly onto you.Now, guys, I've been using Mintmobile
for a little bit now and it'sreally good. The service is picked up
great. I'm I'm truly happy withit. If you want to get Mintmobile
for only fifteen dollars a month,try it out with their five G network.

(11:33):
Go to Mintmobile Wireless type in uninfluenced. So here you guys, go
Go to mintmobile dot com slash uninfluenced. That's Mintmobile dot com slash uninfluenced and
cut your wireless bill to fifteen bucksa month again, mintmobile dot com slash

(11:56):
uninfluenced. For me, the biggestthing that I wouldn't I don't think i'd
be able to fucking deal with,is that this age is the lack of
sleep. You know. It's likethe nights of of interrupted sleep. Back
when my kids were brand new andsleeping like shit some nights and whatever,
it was no big deal, youknow, and you're fucking late twenties.

(12:18):
It's like, dude, it doesn'tfucking matter. You can do anything,
you know, And even well intomy thirties, mid thirties, even late
thirties, like I could take roadtrips where I'd drive fucking thirty hours straight,
you know, and just slam redBull and slap myself and stick my
head out the fucking window ace Venturastyle and would drive, you know,
NonStop, And like, I justcan't do that shit anymore, you know.

(12:39):
If I get a bad night asleep, like my brain doesn't fucking work
right, my productivity is shit.I physically feel fucking sick almost, Like
I just I can't imagine going throughsome of those periods of time when kids
are really young where where they're notsleeping well, and it fucks you all
up. And I mean it,man, I just like that. That
would fucking kill me. I thinkI think you gotta keep drinking out,

(13:01):
Mike, drop coffee that you're putinto this cup of mind this morning.
Manage. I'd have to mainline something, this will take all the pain away,
forget about everything. And luckily mywife's a trooper and does most of
it. But you still, evenif you sleep through it, Yeah,
you're still waking up, You're stillmentally, you're still waking up. And
last night I was joking with herand has probably said the most fucked up

(13:22):
thing I could like. Man,that baby so annoying. And she looked
at men. I said, it'sokay, it's only when he's awake.
She doctor for probably thirty minutes.Well, how old? How old are
you? Guys? How old areyou? Steve answer your question with a
question we're gonna ask. I knowyou're older than you look, because I

(13:43):
think we've actually talked about this.We may have. I'm gonna say six.
Thank you. That's a good guess. I mean i'd put you,
you know, early mid forties also, but you're in your fifties, fifty
one. I'll be fifty two thisyear. Yes, I was born in
nineteen seventy, so I am youyou're you're, you're you're not as old,
right, No, I was bornin seventy nine, seventy nine,

(14:03):
so you're with forty two two.Yeah, I'm forty three. I'll be
forty four in a few months.Guys, you guys are young and suh.
Yeah, I sure feel like it, Steve, I'll tell you what,
you know, you feel like ayoung I don't feel young. You
feel old. I feel fucking olda lot of the time. Yeah.
Really, you you know you doyoung guys, I mean doing this you
gotta have the energy, you gottabe Oh yeah, I mean I still

(14:24):
do young guys shit. But itmakes me feel old after it. You
know, like I still you know, do jiu jitsu and lift weights and
fucking ride motorcycles and you know,fuck around what and whatever and stay active,
getting in a bite suit, youknow whatever, like training dogs that
are physically you know, panfuls.But yeah, it's just like the way
I feel afterwards now is what makesme feel old. I still do all

(14:46):
the same shit. It's just evenup until like thirty eight thirty nine,
I was I would recover quick andstill felt fucking young and virile and felt
honestly like my late thirties, I'dsay is probably when I felt the best
of my life and physically, youknow, like I was the strongest that
I'd ever been, Like I wasin the best shape I'd ever been,

(15:07):
even way more so than my mymid twenties or early twenties, and like
everything just I think muscle maturity andyears of conditioning kind of ball came to
a head. And then when Iwas forty, I tore my left tricep
all the way from the bone,like it took a piece of bone with
it, and uh. And thatwas like a solid year of recovering from

(15:30):
that, like to get to fullrange emotion and then getting back to where
I could even just do a pushup range emotion and putting that amount of
pressure on it. Like it tookabout a year to get to that point
where I could really do the sameship that I was doing before before I
got hurt. And that affect youand if you think over so, yeah,
I do. I mean, becauseit was like for the first time

(15:50):
in my life I spent a yearnot doing a whole lot physically, you
know, and I had never donethat before, like I mean all growing
up, you know, teenage yearsor early I mean obviously in the Navy,
I mean, but getting out inthat entire scope of my entire life.
Up until forty years old, Iwas I was active all the time.
And then for about I don't know, five months, four or five

(16:14):
months, like I literally did almostnothing, and then another five or six
months of really really slowly getting backinto it, really light. And you
know, I mean now at thispoint, like strength wise or weight wise
in the gym or whatever, Ican do all the same shit that I
did before I got hurt. Butbut I think mentally it just kind of

(16:36):
kicked me in the dick as wellas it probably slowed my metabolism down and
just kind of changed. Whether it'sa CNS thing or I mean, I
don't know what epigenetics maybe, butlike it just kind of changed me physically.
Is that I haven't been the samesince, you know, like I
just don't recover as fast. Ifeel old, like everything fucking hurts more

(16:57):
like it did just fucking knock mein on my asld age. Huh Man.
I remember, I can relate toit, not from the injuries side
point, but I think, reallynothing's worse than doing nothing right. There's
nothing worse for you than to sitaround and absolutely do nothing. For anybody,
young, old, nothing. Youever noticed people after they retire,
you know, they worked all theirlives. It's guys seven years old,

(17:18):
seventy five years old, and allof a sudden they retire and that routine
that they had every single day nowstops and they start to deteriorate fast.
You see it a lot, man, I see it a lot. And
I said, man, don't whyyou don't do what you like? I
keep doing it because as soon asyou stop doing it, you become complacent
and lazy and sitting on the sofadoing nothing. But being a large ass
doing nothing all day. It's probablythe worst possible thing for anybody to do,

(17:42):
particularly as you get older, itseems like. And I've always always
like going places and having people saylike, you know, you look younger
than you are, or telling yourage and you're telling I was always for
me, it was good. Ithink living in Japan for me was I
learned a lot of lessons that maybehelped me in the sense of diet exercise

(18:03):
too. In Japan, it's notlike people go work out like we do.
Like you know, there are peoplego to gyms and do that stuff
too, But every day exercising ispart of your daily routine. You get
out of your house, you know, most people take trains. You walk
to a train station, you godown, you go down in the train
station, and then you come upescalators, you know, and you're walking
and you're sweating because it's hot outside, and you're you're physically doing so you're

(18:25):
forced to do stuff by part ofyour lifestyle. You're also don't eat the
way we eat here, you know, we eat, We eat really unhealthy
Americans in general, I think manypeople try to, but you know,
we eat so much food and overeatand you know, and a lot of
the wrong foods. And in Japan, I started appreciating, you know,
about varieties of different foods, differentcolors of different foods, eating till The

(18:47):
Japanese have this thing about only eatinguntil your eighty percent full. Then you
stop eating at eighty percent? Whatis eighty percent mean? You get used
to where that point is, butyou don't let yourself get to a point
where you're like, oh my god, I'm gonna throw up. I ate
so much. We do that alot here, and I've tried to control
that and I think it, youknow, it helps in I don't know,
maybe maybe staying young or staying stayingfeeling good. And then the other

(19:08):
thing was when I hit I wasthirty something, probably getting close to forty,
like where you guys are at right, I started waking up in my
back started bugging me a lot,man, wake up, and I'm gonna
be so stiff. And I said, how do you How do I combat
that? And I was never flexibleright now? I was. I wasn't
you know, ever really hard workedout and did stuff. I was in
a marching band. That was youknow, it was about as hard of

(19:30):
a workout as we did. Wedid work out hard, probably better than
football team in Wisconsin back in thosedays. But you know, as I
had a little bit of physical backgroundand uh an officer candidate school, which
I do want to talk about afterwith you as well with my experience there,
but the stretching, getting getting flexible, getting pliable is what. When
I turned forty, I said,oh man, this is horrible. What
do I gotta do. I startedstretching, started like I couldn't get that.

(19:53):
Now I could touch my toes.I jumped rope. I less of
trying to do a lot hard physicalstuff, more of reps of lightweight and
then stretching get my body loose.I sit there and stretch for a long
time in the gym before I workout, and I found I don't know,
I feel like it makes me feelbetter, better just overall blood flow
and certainly less of that the recoverypain or that you were You were talking

(20:17):
about stretching may being flexible now isI think changed me for the better in
my training routine and now being overfifty, you know, hopefully I could
stay flexible and avoid injury. Yeah, yeah, I know it's important.
I mean it, and I agree, like as you get older, I
don't lift super heavy. I mean, I can still still do that,
but I don't, right, Idon't ever go, you know, fucking

(20:40):
crazy like I did when I wasyounger. But yeah, stretching is fucking
huge. You stretch, I don'teven work out. Are you gonna partake
in this conversation? You're just gonnalet me us on. I shut the
hell up, since you walked inthe door and by the way, by
the way, welcome to NFLO.Yeah, welcome you start the podcast?
Yeah, oh we did all right, We're always done right, Yeah,

(21:00):
we're almost done with transition. CanI say thank you to you two guys.
We're probably gonna talk about this onmy podcast too, but I want
to thank you guys because one,you were part of a of a large
welcoming committee of people who were niceto me when I got to Texas,
reached out to me. You invitedme out to the UM studio and you

(21:23):
know, at that time, inyour house. And I was impressed,
man, with what you guys hadand what you what you build and what
I was honored to be invited andand thankful to make new friends in Texas
and then talk to two guys whoI felt like it was easy to talk
to and we were like minded,even though we hadn't met before, and
even though I don't didn't have acool beard, I still don't like working
on it. Yeah, I'm workingon it, man, Kimuel. It

(21:45):
has only been a year and ahalf, and you see, I'm still
working on I told you stop buyingrogaine. What am I? What am
I? Gonna grow beard with now. Um, but you know, you
invited me that and then you guysmotivated me too, So I want to
thank you for that, because youmotivated me to to start my own podcast,
which I did recently. And ifit wasn't for YouTube guys too,
I wouldn't have a damn microphone,anything, headphones or anything else to have

(22:08):
started my own thing. Let's well, thank you all. Your hand meat
downs are the best. I've neverseen so much equipment in a place like
compared to what I got going onin my little office. It's it's embarrassing.
But you motivated me to jump overand get into the podcast fear along,
you know, with my YouTube channeland what I'm doing now, And
so thank you honestly and for youknow, inviting me and motivating me with

(22:32):
that. Yeah, it's an honorto have done. So. You know,
anything we could do to help andmake new friends that are like minded,
that's that's what we do. Imean, that's all we care about.
Yeah. I got asked for amagazine or something, an article,
someone writing why do you do thingswith cars? And everyone expects me to

(22:52):
say supercars, But that's not theanswer. The answer is I don't give
a shit if you pull up ina ship box Civic. You know,
to me, your heart went intothat civic. You did everything you could
to build that car. And we'relike minded people. If I'm driving a
Lamborghini and you're driving a Civic.At the end of the day, we
went to the same place, thesame thing in mind to meet people.

(23:14):
You're passionate about the same things,you know, which to me is uh
is what's fun about going to alot of the car meets. It may
have been from the same guy asked, you know, why why we go
to them as that we're talking about. Yeah, I mean my response was
for the drive there, Yeah,you know. But but that's an oversimplification
of essentially the same thing is thatI'm passionate about driving, like I fucking

(23:34):
love to drive, And so forme, the actual journey there is the
best part of it. You know, getting there, it's it's great to
you know, reconnect with all theguys that that you either just drove there
with or that you haven't seen ina while or whatever. But but that
same common denominator, I think thatthat's really why most people are there is
because they fucking love driving. Youknow, and so um you know to

(23:56):
me that that's kind of the essenceof the whole the whole genre or industry
supercar wise. I mean, yeah, there are some people that just want
want to connect or network or justlike the flashiness of a car or whatever.
But I think most people it's becausethey like fucking driving. You know,
I'm with you on it, andbut I will tell you on the
back end too. For me,it's that community, the people I meet

(24:19):
everywhere I go, and the communityand the networking that I do, and
the people that you meet, theguy with the civic the guy, the
kid who has really no money,who's working a part time job but pounding
out working on this car by himself, beating those people and hearing those sorts.
For me, I mean, Icover a lot of that on my
YouTube channel, But it's not likeI don't feel like I'm working doing it.
I go there, I love todrive there. I love driving a

(24:41):
different car there of mine every everytime. And you know that the sounds
and the smells and experience and thefriends driving together and the smiles. But
when you get to the when Igo to the car show, well,
I notice my difference with you guys. Is you guys kind of sit down,
put your sunglasses on, and hideout a little bit in a corner.
I gotta usually track you down andI want to turn around to come
back and talk, and everybody you'reusually goum. But I really really enjoy

(25:06):
the meeting of the different people andthe talking to people, like especially with
Japanese cars, Like why is thiskid born and raised in Texas infatuated with
Japanese culture to this point? Youknow, for the people watch my channel,
they find that amazing. What's theconnection? Where did it come from?
You know, did your dad teachyou about Japanese cars? Did you
grow up liking some part of thatJapanese culture that led you to this car?

(25:30):
I mean, it's amazing how manykids are influenced by Japanese culture.
Japan, a country's you know,tiny little country all the way around the
other world, has had such aninfluence on it. And for me to
look at that, being with myconnection to Japan and learning about what motivated
these people to have Japanese cars orto have Japanese writing all over their cars
or Japanese tattoos on them or whateverit is, it's an for me,

(25:52):
it's an interesting experience to hear aboutthat all that and then but the cars
are what bring us together. Butyou notice what comes together is really an
awesome group of people. And that'snot just here in Texas, anywhere I
go. Really it's it's always thecase. You know, in Japan.
You don't even have to speak thesame language, but you know we're all
car guys, and you can betthat they're all good people that are hanging

(26:15):
out there, you know, communitypeople. Yeah. I like that.
Yeah, you can definitely weed outthe ones that are there for Hey,
look at me, look at what? Yeah, you know that come in
and it's like to show up alittle late horn one of those halfway through
the show. Yeah, halfway throughthe show. Time about where you all
going for breakfast? I don't worryabout it. Still haven't at breakfast with

(26:36):
you guys, which is another funpart of Saturday mornings. I gotta say
too. I do like the breakfast. After we we usually stop and have
have something fun to eat, andwe always look at the app and like,
where would Steve not? We're Stevenot going to show a little drive
through somewhere. To me, thebreakfast is great except for about this time
a year two to October. Idon't really like parking the cars and the

(27:00):
fucking direct sunlight. Uh you know, I don't. I don't like getting
into those cars when they're two hundredfucking degrees and just you know, with
with what you put into those andwhatever. I don't like parking them in
the fucking sun. But I getit. So the piece that doesn't stay
out in the sun very long,especially the piece is like the interior does
not handle heat real well. Ferrarileather shrinks fast like and just then the

(27:22):
buttons get sticky, and yeah,it's it's a it's a fucking bad bad
He hasn't Ferra done nothing about thewhole sticky buttons that they're nut part of
why they're sticky driving. I'm like, God, it's good, it's good.
You put those tentacles tacks, tenof those buttons, you just hit
them once in one shot. Stickybuttons. I think I think they have
actually fixed it. I think withthe the F eight and the SF ninety,

(27:45):
the new new generation of the oftheir tech, I think they've sorted
those those problems out. But Ithink the biggest thing is this most guys
don't even drive their cars, letalone park them in the sun. Yeah,
just yeah, most of the ownersdon't, don't ever put them in
that that position, but I do. Yeah, my Ferrari sits out in
the sun and baked, and nowmy Lamborghini does that too, Do you

(28:07):
do you have a preference of oneover the other. I like them for
different reasons. Right, That Ferrariwas a ballerina. If you had to
get rid of one, well Igot rid of the Ferrari, so the
Ferrari is is gone. Technically Idid make a decision to get rid of
the Ferrari for the Lamborghini. Idon't know. I like the Lamborghinis,
you know, the bull, thetoughness, the balls. I mean,
it's something. Ferrari's beautiful and theLamborghini's just tough. Yeah, you know

(28:30):
it's the bull ballerina, right exactly? How about a bull fighter and one's
the bull? Oh? I likethat? Okay, yeah, you're right,
light on your light on your feetversus a wrestling all right, not
even Olympics though, I'm talking ironclaw bullshit wrestling, fucking h Nacho Lee
brave, fucking yes. What aboutthe persona of each car? They are

(28:53):
very different. I think, yeah, yeah, way different. I think
if Lamborghini is that's scarier kind ofimage, or that tougher type of image,
the no bullshit type of image,where the Ferrari is a little more.
I mean either way. Look,I mean I just you know,
to Ferrari guys, I destroyed myFerrari. I had a wide body on
air bags, you know, wrappedwith the Japanese Rising sun on the hood.

(29:14):
I mean it. It made Ferraripurists, you know, throw up
in their mouths every time they sawme. You know, it's funny.
Sometimes people be filming for my channeland somebody sitting next to them won't do
it. That's how you can ruina Ferrari. You know, you get
like I'm leaving him on. Yeah, no, cut on that scene.
Leave it. Um, it's great. Lamborghini guys, I don't think you
get that as much. You know, like, hey, you ruined the
Lamborghini. Yeah, it's more like, you know what, I don't give

(29:37):
an f Yeah you say I cancurse, right, I don't give a
fuck. Thank you. By theway, you taught me that I can
curse in this platform. Yeah,it's good. I don't give a fuck.
I'm gonna do what I want todo, and you know, if
you don't like it, go fuckyourself. Yeah you know, but I
think Lamborghinis are inherently flashier, youknow. I mean their lines are there
a lot of even the factory stufflike take the sto Like, you can't

(29:59):
get a ferra A with that kindof um options fucking spect out that you
can with with Lamborghini. And soI think that coupled with the typically the
people that own and drive them areusually a little more that way than in
the Ferrari guys I think, forthe most part, are a little it's
more of that kind of like elegantclassy, like they just want to leave

(30:22):
it alone, um, you know, and appreciate it for what it is
type of thing. He's being polite. But my theory is most Lambo owners
are douchey okay, and most Ferrariguys are like, you know, now,
just put together really yeah okay,I mean for real, how many
Ferrari guys other than you do yousee get out and be like that guy's
a douche? How many can youcan? You rephrase that? When you

(30:45):
see Ferrari people, they normally lookput together like that guy's except me,
I get up dressed like that different. I would say, we'll go Ferrari
guys. You see them and you'relike, that's a successful Like they look
like they just got off the golfcourse. Yeah. Then you see the
guy the Hurricans and the svjs andall that, they pull up and you're

(31:07):
like, what tech fucking conference didthis guy go to? Him? Where
did he rent that fucking car?Yeah? Yeah, No, there's there's
a bit of that, like youknow, the like the entrepreneur conferences.
Sure, like now there's a there'sa fucking ton of them more. You
know, you get all these guysup on stage fucking motivating people to run
their own business or whatever. Likeit's it's that kind of kind of guy,
I think more more so than itis Ferrari drivers. Probably. I

(31:32):
like them all man, And youknow what, if I'm not saying the
vibe off of them, I'd liketo just you know, I'll go like,
I remember those guys, did someof the shows show up in the
newest Ferrari. You know, thethe special is the is the real super
rare rare cars, you know,the TDFs and stuff and shout. I'll
pull right up next to them mycar, let the air ride out,
and you know, and yeah,but I'll go shake the guy's hands and

(31:52):
tell him he's got a beautiful car. It's you know what my thing is
now, you get older to benice to people. You know, you
know they don't like you, goup shake the guy's hand. Oh yeah,
that's always the best. And youknow what, they put them in
a position. What is he gonnado. He's still gonna cursey, You're
gonna love you. But well,everybody's been open, everybody's been cool behind
my back. Who knows what theysay? It it's bad, Steve,

(32:13):
Thanks for thanks for reminding, likeI upset a whole group by calling them
douche bros instead of lambros. Douchebros, all of them upset. But
even the douche bros. Okay,I mean it's still kind of cool.
Cool, But who's really modifying theircar to the degree that I have?
Fucking nobody? Nobody, right,I don't know anybody that's modifed. Very
few people have done. I meaneverybody. They just keep their car how

(32:36):
it is, put wheels in awrap on it. They don't cut them
up wide body. You know,I know of a very few people with
a liberty walk car. It takessome balls to do it right. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm a little guy,but I obviously got a big set
of balls. Yeah, you borrowthem on the weekend. I sling them
over my shoulder. But in thatlamblet doesn't have a lot of room.

(32:57):
What inspired the North Korea red staror on the fucking thing? So?
Okay, I love it. Nowyou're the second person who's now brought that
up here. It's it's not theNorth Korea red star this, nor is
it the Chinese Communist star. Thered star on the hood actually was part
of the design element to give memore of a japan They have these cars
called Kaido Racers and old Japanese customizationways. They implement that star like a

(33:22):
Texas type star into their designs.I was into the black and the red
theme, so I decided, okay, the star is gonna be red until
it was on there, and untila couple of people point out the dude,
it looks like you've got a communiststar on the front of you your
car. I didn't think about it, but a couple of people in the
video pointed out too, it waspurely for design features and part of a
Japanese traditional designing certainly did not tryto make it look like a red star.

(33:44):
But thanks for pointing it out forme. I guess if you had
the red sun on the hood then, like to me, like for most
people, if they're not super ingrainedin the culture and wouldn't know, Yeah,
like most Americans or even just Westernpeople generally speaking, they're gonna they're
gonna differentiate that from a star.They're gonna think Japan or Korea or China,

(34:07):
you know, the star most peopleare. I got the rising sun
on the sides. Now that thosecome out into chevrons, that's my American
side of building into it. Andthen the hood. I wanted to bring
that old school job He's thing.It's just the red I think, is
what makes it appear more like acommunist you know, or North Korean type
of star, which it is not. You can throw one of those sweeping

(34:27):
the more you know, fucking swathsunderneath it and then it differentiated. Yeah,
yeah, maybe maybe that's a goodidea. I like it. I
like it. I like the lambothough I made it a two wheel drive
conversion, so it's a little bitmore like a Lamb Ferrari in some ways.
I took out that that the fourwheel drive to two wheel drive conversion.
It got lighter, got more,it got a little more like a

(34:49):
Ballerina than than the hard bull.You know. But I can turn now.
It doesn't do that binding stuff thatit does. But you know,
there's nothing like that V twelve enginesound. That's scream Yeah. I remember
friend back in California when I firstmoved there. He passed away, but
Frankie, Frankie had a Diablo andI remember his plate was a Screamer,
and I thought that was great.He was in the Hot Chicks too,

(35:10):
so it was kind of a doublemeaning too, he's not in the Hot
chicks. Frankie had a lot ofhot chicks. Um and uh, he
had some hot cars, but ascreamer on a V twelve, and I
thought that was a great name.Yeah great, I know that sounded as
fucking uh, you know, Imean the V twelve, whether it's in
the Lamborghini or the Ferrari, fuckingV twelve or something else. Man,

(35:31):
unbelievable. Plus the last, itwill be the last ever anything made like
that, right, No, Imean probably probably so. The Mercy Alago.
You know, the Ferrari was We'rein this car market now, that's
crazy, right, incredible. Bythe way, do I owe you a
thanks on helping me secure them theLamborghini as well. You've helped me up
with some people who are great peoplewho helped me finance it and do it.

(35:53):
So thank you for that as well. I owe you a thanks on
that. We're here for that.I've got their cup here. But you
know, the the Ferrari, Iput ten twelve thousand miles in that car,
wound up selling it for thirty fiveforty grand more than I paid for
it after two and a half threeyears. And then the Lamborghini was another

(36:15):
interesting story. You know. Iwent to I bought that car in Houston,
found that car. I wasn't gonnabuy a car right away after I
sold the Ferrari. I was gonnatake a little break. And how many
miles did you put on the Ferrari? I put about twelve thirteen thousand miles
on a Ferrari in two years.I drove to Canada the first week with
it with daily driven exotics. Werallied up there and we went all the
way up the coast and all aroundCanada, came back, drove it a
lot Monterey back and forth a bunch, and it was a fun car.

(36:37):
It was a great car. Butto be able to sell a supercar like
that, already modified to that degree, for another thirty some one thousand dollars
more than you paid for it,I was like, Wow, this is
cool. And I was like,you know what's next? And the kid,
my son, He's like, youknow, we gotta go Lambo next.
There's no question. I said,all right, well mom might take
a little convincing for mom on thisone to get it. And not more
than a week or two after soldthe car, the kid sends me a

(37:00):
thing off Facebook. He goes,look look what I found on Facebook,
and he sends me this yellow,horrible looking Mercy Alago. Right yellow,
you remember what it looked like.Looked like it ran over you know,
roadkill, right like, ran overa possum somewhere on the Texas Highway and
he's just splattered up and down thecar. It was horrible looking, but
the car was in Houston. Wereached out to the guy and it was

(37:21):
a little bit of funny business.A guy who owned the car sold the
car to this other dude who wasa little I don't you know. It
was weird, all right. Thisguy had the car, but he just
bought it. He had an opentitle, wasn't registered in his name.
It was a It was a situation. I was like, I don't know
if this is kosher or not.But I was like, okay, my
son found a sticker on the windowof that ugly yellow Lamborghinian was a guy's

(37:43):
Instagram address. I went to it. The guy's following me already. He
was a fan of my channel.Right. I reached out to guy,
said, hey, bro, thiscar's up on the internets for sale.
What's up with it? He goes, I sold it to this guy a
week two weeks ago. He saidhe was gonna keep it. He wasn't
gonna sell it. But if he'sselling it, he says, I didn't
know anything about it. But youknow, I said, I'd like to
buy the car. If the caris a good car, can you talk
to the guy and say, hey, sell it to Steve. So he

(38:04):
got involved. He talked to theguy sold it for and said, hey,
you weren't going to sell my car. But if you are doing me
a favorite cell to this guy,alike him a lot. He's a good
guy. He wants to come downto buy it. He said it all.
I'll put it all together. Iwent down there, bought the car,
came back with the car, startedunwrapping it. Unwrapped it to find
I had the most expect cornet bullionfrom Vinwiki, the most expensive two thousand

(38:25):
and nine Mercy Lago coupe sold inthe United States of America. It had
custom satin black. That was thefirst year you could do the the what
do you call it, the specialorder on the stuff satin black paint,
Neuroonemesis paint, racing seats, carbonFirebergalore and everything else on a on a
car that was sold in two thousandand nine for four hundred and twenty five

(38:46):
thousand dollars in Las Vegas. Goddamn that car because of how ugly it
looked in yellow with brown wheels,with that road kill rap. Nobody looked
at it. In fact, somebodyjust tagged me last week that are with
its yellow rap got on. There'ssomething on Instagram called the worst Spec.
I won the Worst Spec with mycar. Thank you people, taging siez

(39:08):
Bov it was the worst Spec lambo, but it goes to show sometimes it's
kind of like that ugly girl orthe girl you know people thought was ugly
back in high school. That bigglasses and the hair reminds me of the
breakfast club or that that girl inthe back right. You know, he
couldn't tell, but you know hepeeled the peeled the hair back and the
glasses off, and maybe you gotsomething. My lambo was a beauty hidden

(39:30):
below a horrible How many miles areon it? Twenty two thousand. That's
not bad. That's fun when weput a picture of before and after.
Yeah, yeah you can, Okay, we'll put it up there. Man.
I am proud to be the winnerof the Worst Spec Award. And
now I may get it back upon the site now with my new rap
who knows that the Chinese star andthey make it again on the same car
twice on the on the same list. He sent me. I think I

(39:52):
was at your house when he sentme. Dude, I got it and
he sent it to him me andI was like, it wasn't congrats,
it was Is that a fucking rap? That ugly a rap? So what
they all come around. Part ofthis story is this, I just bought
another car from the same guy.Oh for my son. So my son,

(40:14):
I told you he graduated. He'sstaying in Georgia and he's driving ever
since he came to Texas, mykid turning in full Texan. He's got
an F three fifty seven point threeLeader manual transmission Dully with a big Ranch
hand package on it. You know, a Cole rolling monster, all black,
black wheels, blacked out, murderedout. He drives out on campus.
I'm proud of him. In Georgia, they hate him, they absolutely

(40:34):
hate him anyway, But now he'sgoing to become He's somebody's got to drive
around to Georgia and he's got togo to work every day. And Diesel
has gotten you know, six dollarsin something ridiculous price. He's like that,
I think I want to sell theDully and I want something else.
I said, great, He says, I wanted the fun, sporty kind
of car again, you know,I said, all right, And I
remember the guy who sold me thething. He was in the yellow and
rapping things just ugly. Well,he had a skyline. Our thirty three

(40:55):
he's on skyline manual transmission car thatwas bright yellow, just like that with
with he did a fast and furiousstickers on the side of it. I
mean, it just didn't look good. I called him up, say,
were you thinking about getting rid ofthat car? He says yeah. I
said okay, he said, well, and we worked out a deal and
just having to deliver that car outand I've got that car now. I'm
trying to wrap that car from yellowto something nardo gray or something kind of

(41:17):
cool. Now. But got anothercar again. The car looks so bad,
wrong wheels, wrong, set upeverything. But I got myself a
beautiful, beautiful car for a greatprice. And the kid's gonna happen Auston
car. Say so, look beyondwhat do they say beauty? Is uh
skin deep or something like? Whatis an earra saying like that? Yeah
right, I'm sexy. It's fuckunder all this fact, I was waiting
for you to pull that shirt offand show me what you got going on.

(41:38):
Boy, I got at least atwelve pack under all this gig king
pony cag You do you do lookgood? Man? How you do look
good? Just a lot of man? Yeah, I gotta get the beard
going. Dude, I'm didn't sayingthat. I gotta get your steward thing
going. Just do it. Igot it right, Yeah, stop talking
about it is yeah, just startingnow. I mean the good news is
you don't have to do anything.Just stop shaving. It's not like it

(42:00):
takes work. It's the grayness ofmy beard. I got a lot of
gray now. I mean I wantto look young. Can diet, yeah,
you can die. You can dolike one of those touch or gray
things where it's still just a littlebit in there so you're not ever noticed.
It looks like it's not such atouch, it's more like a splash
or a dip of gray. Itlooks horrible. I've never messed with any

(42:21):
of that stuff, but you know, I've seen some, at least on
ads that look like they work.Maybe it's total bullshit that new soap that's
going around on Instagram. They keeptargeting me with. I think I must
have said the word gray once whenI had Instagram. Ope, But now
I got the soap that you justrub into your head and it makes you.
It turns these guys got got whitehair. It looks like Anderson Cooper
types and two minutes later they comeout of the shower. They look like

(42:43):
they're freaking rob Below or somebody fromthe you know, from the eighties or
something, you know, like whatI just I couldn't imagine walking out being
all gray like them walking out andsaying hi to your friends. Again,
there broke. You'd have to slightlydo it, you know, you gotta
graduate look like a fucking Dalmatian.Yeah right, you spotted him salt and

(43:04):
pepper. Yeah, yeah, it'sa sprinkle of gray. But if you
look at my wedding photos, mybeard is perfectly brown and fucking everything again.
And everyone's like, man, youhad so much gray in the past.
Marriage hadn't been that good for you. Now I'm a sucker. I
was dying it for a year.Finally I just got tired of fucking with
it. It is what it is, bitch, I got gray here.

(43:25):
It is that as we get older, it is what it is, right,
Yeah, you don't give a fun. I don't give a fuck about
how I look when I go outas much. That's kind of sad.
I used to kind of care aboutthen that I think it's liberating, liberating.
Just don't give a fuck. Don'tgive a fuck. Yeah, I
like that. That's how I lookat it. I don't just don't give
a fuck. I don't need togive a fuck. Did you used to

(43:46):
give a fuck? I mean,to be fair, I never really have
given much of a fuck. Butbut for the same reason. It's not
because like now I'm older and Ijust don't give a fuck. It's like
when I was twenty five, Ididn't give a fuck. I wore the
same shit that I wear now.You give less fucks now than you gave
back then, or I mean probably, but I've never given enough of a

(44:06):
fuck for it to really matter.You know, socks never added. It's
like even giving less of a fuck. It's like I never gave enough for
there to be less of you know, Okay, all right, I get
it. I tend to always givea fuck. We I mean within reason.
I mean to me, like withall that stuff, it's there's a
lot of people say, oh,I don't give a fuck, but they
do, you know? To me, it depends on who who it is.

(44:29):
Like if it's somebody that I know, no well, respect them and
trust their opinion, then yes,I absolutely give a fuck what they think
about me. You know, ifit's somebody that like I don't know them,
I don't respect them, you know, or or you know, it's
like I don't even know who thisperson is, then no, I don't
give a shit what their opinion isbecause it doesn't fucking matter, you know.
And I think that's an important distinctionto make because to me, there

(44:51):
is an element of not giving afuck that if if you take that too
far, then you're just a fuckingshit back. You know. It's like
you should give a fuck right tothe people that you care about, Like
you should care what they think,right, you know, because if any
of those people like set you asideand be like, dude, we need
to fucking talk, you're fucking thisup, or whatever the case is,

(45:12):
like, if they have a strongopinion about you, then then yeah you
should listen, you know. UmSo again, it's just like there's always
these like, you know, thesubtle art of not giving a fuck,
you know, type of mentalities,or people take it so far, like
I don't give a fuck with anybodythinks like there is a way to take
that too far, and some peopledo you know, I am, I

(45:34):
understand what you're saying, and trugsare my phone off. I'm not playing
with myself. Don't don't you wouldn'tYou wouldn't be judged if you get the
peanut butter pull that shirt off.I was getting ready for it. That
was all I am giving a fuck? Right or not giving a fuck?
I guess. I mean, doyou guys? Do you guys care when
people say negative things about you?Bother you? I mean again, if

(45:58):
I don't know who they are,then no, you know, um,
because at the end of the day, like that doesn't matter. It's like,
if I don't know somebody well enoughto have any respect for them,
why am I going to value theiropinion? You know, because they don't
know who I am. Right,If I don't know who they are,
they don't really know who I am, So their opinion of me in that
case it doesn't matter. You know. It's a good approach to thinking about

(46:19):
it. It bothered. It usedto bother me a little bit when people
would say something, or do something, or write a comment on the videos
or whatever it was. I sayas much as I said, fuck that
guy. You know, I reallydon't give a shit or do it.
It's sometimes it was hard, Iguess say, you know to hear it,
but I mean, I don't geta ton of it. You know,
maybe I will now hanging out withyou guys more, you'll get more,
I'm sure you know, but Ihope you do. But I'm sorry.

(46:43):
Can you can kind of call youguys for a little emotional support if
somebody gets really mean, yeah,I may do you handle this? Yeah?
I mean to me, to me, you can't give a shit about
stuff like that again, because thatdoesn't matter. I mean to me,
if if it's like that, theiropinion of you is going to have a
net impact on you of zero,right, other than what you let it
have on you. Now, ifone of your business partners or close friends

(47:07):
or family members has a really,really shitty or negative opinion, then yeah,
that's probably going to impact certain elementsof your life. And so then
you should give a fuck. SoI think that, you know. To
me, that's just the clear distinctionto make is that if you care what
that person thinks, because you yourespect their opinion, then pay attention to
it. If you don't, thenjust fucking ignore it. So some hot

(47:30):
pocket eating you loser in his underwearand his mom's basement watching my videos,
deciding nothing better than to just saynegative stuff. Oh yeah. It's like
a bunch of kids on Instagram withlike zero post in private, and then
they're talking shit about you with nothing. They have nothing. I mean,
who gives a five Yeah, Imean to me, even if it's you
know, a verified five hundred thousandfiler, but I don't. I have

(47:51):
no idea who this person is.I equally don't give a fuck what they
think if you don't have the ballsto walk up to me and be like,
hey man, you know I sawthis, and my opinion still,
I'm probably not going to give ashoot up. I mean, even then
if I don't know them, Idon't care. But I think there's another
important distinction to make, which isthe other side of that token is equally
true in terms of not letting peoplethat you don't know or respect or have

(48:14):
any idea if they're blowing smoke upyour ass, don't let that inflate your
ego either. You know, whichI think sometimes people do is that people
get really big heads because they've gotthirty million fucking followers that are, you
know, stroking their fucking ego nonstop, and it makes them think that
there's somebody that they're actually not.You know, so on both ends of

(48:35):
those spectrums, I think that youhave to filter out the white noise,
good and bad, and not leteither one of them detract or impact who
you are as a person, andonly worry about the people that you respect
and care about. It's a goodpoint, man. I mean, I
heard a lot of people will sayto me, you know, we follow
these other YouTubers and we stop followingthem over this period of time. And

(48:57):
I said, why so well,I had an opportunity to meet them,
and they weren't you know, theywere dicks. They weren't you know,
they weren't nice. I tried to, you know, my son wanted to
take a picture with them, andthey you know, they couldn't do it,
or they didn't do it. Andthen I said, and they say,
you know, you're you're nice topeople, You're always And I say,
I don't know. Maybe it's becauseI'm fifty years old and you know
too, and I've been through I'mnot a twenty year old kid who's just
gotten a million subscribers. Who youknow, I guess it's hard not to

(49:21):
have your head blow up and becomea little bit crazy with with with with
all the hype when you're young andyou got money rolling in and all this
stuff. I said, maybe becausei've I'm older and do And I said,
man, you took the time towrite to me, you took the
time to come up to me,you brought your kid up to me.
There. I know they're nervous,they don't know what to say. I
said, you know, I wantto be nice to people. I don't

(49:43):
I you know, I take pictureswith there. I'm honored that you're taking
the time to to reach out tome. I mean, at least I
could do is acknowledge it, saythank you, you know, say you
know, thanks for writing, appreciateyou or whatever. I think that's the
right thing to do. But youknow, again, I'm not at a
level that some of these people areat. By any me too, And
I do also understand it. Youknow, when you got millions and millions
of people fall it's hard to benice to Everybody's hard to show everybody,

(50:06):
give everybody the time that you want. You know, well, it's I
mean, I think there's a certainlevel where that's impossible. But again,
I think there's a difference between youknow, being nice and letting it impact
your like you can. You canhave a healthy boundary without being a dick
about it, right right, true, you can just you know, you
could be like, hey, Idon't have time, sorry, you know
whatever, you know, But onthe same token, like, sometimes it

(50:30):
gets misinterpreted, you know. I'lluse myself as an example here here lately,
Like I'm a smart ass, right, I like sarcastic humor. Uh.
Some of that is a lot ofit is influenced from the military,
like my but my entire family.I've got two older brothers, my dad
were all total fucking smart asses,and we fuck with each other a lot.
All of my close friends we fuckwith each other a lot too,

(50:52):
And oftentimes I fuck with other peoplein that same type of humor that gets
woefully miss un understood, you know. And uh, and that happened here
recently, as probably everybody watching,or at least I know you guys are
aware of, you know, isthat you you try to be a smart
ass and fun with somebody and cracka joke and they take it personal and

(51:12):
get bent out of fucking shape andand now you've got, you know,
again, to your point, likeall these fucking people that have this very
strong opinion that that don't have anyidea who I am. But you know,
again I don't care. On thesame token, there's also people that
send me messages regularly that that arevery flattering or uh, you know,
could could drive my ego to whereit's unhealthily enormous and uh. And in

(51:37):
both of those cases, those aren'tthey're they're not real, you know,
because again like that, none ofthese people know who I am, even
the people with a super favorable opinionof me. It's like, you know,
you're not their first thing in themorning or last thing at night,
or when I'm having a shitty dayor having a great day, or just
you know, had an issue witha family member or a big success or

(51:58):
a huge fucking kick in the nutsbusiness wise or whatever. And so again,
you know, not to sound likea broken record, but I just
think it's important to tamper all ofthe the exterior or external opinions of you,
both good and bad, with witha grain of salt and just kind
of kind of brush them off anddon't let them get to you either way.
There's another element of this that wedon't have control of, and it's

(52:20):
the people watching or the fans whofollow you, me, us or whoever.
I think sometimes they form a relationshipwith us. Yeah, that they've
created themselves. They have this imageof who you are through the videos or
what it is. Now, let'ssay, you know, they expect they've

(52:43):
they've created this image of you,and now they come up to you and
meet you, and they catch youat that bad moment or they do it,
and you know, all of asudden, you've shattered this virtual relationship
they've had with you. You know. I bet people come up to me
and said, man, I rememberwhen you did this. I said,
I don't even remember that. Iremember. The guys who have watched so
much, they've they know my son, they know everything about stuff, the

(53:05):
stuff they even forgot. You're notcareful with a guy like that. Not
don't even careful. But you know, let's say he hits you at the
wrong moment. He comes up,I wanted to shake your hand. He's
been watching all your videos, andall of a sudden, hey, I'm
sorry, I'm kind of busy.I can't do it right now. Bang
that guy. You could shout thatguy, you know, and all of
a sudden, you're the biggest assholethrough in the world to some guy that
you never even intended to even tryto or you don't even know who they

(53:28):
are, you know. And againit's like, right, you don't know
that they've followed you that closely forseveral years, or know all these things
about you that you don't even fuckingremember or whatever. Yeah, I mean
sometimes sometimes that happens, you know. Sometimes I'll get emails that way where
you know, like I get enoughof them to where even though I have,
you know, an inbox manager basicallythat goes through everything and responds and

(53:51):
what have you to certain certain onesand forwards me ones that I need or
whatever, like, I still physicallyand mentally don't have the bandwidth or the
time to respond to every fucking messagethat I get, whether it's an email,
a private message, you know,whatever. And and sometimes people take
that really fucking personal, yeah,you know, And it's like, again,

(54:14):
here's where I would make the distinction, Like if I, if I
know you and you're blowing me off, or vice versa. If you know
me well and I'm just fucking ignoringyou, that's very different. And somebody
I've never fucking met you know thatthat I you know, they could walk
into a room and I'd have nofucking idea who they are. But just
like you said, they feel likethey know you, and you know,
maybe they've supported the foundation for yearsor you know, maybe they've they've been

(54:37):
a subscriber of my online training,or they've bought products from me or whatever.
But again, like I still don'tknow who you are, you know,
and there's like this unrealistic expectation ofthis one way relationship that that I
don't even realize exists. And thenthey get you know, really pissed off
by it, and that can befrustrating. But again, you know,
I've been, I guess doing itlong enough. You know, the first

(55:00):
book that I wrote in the sixtyMinutes piece was all the way Back,
and it's been almost ten years now, you know, where I've had kind
of that where people know who Iam and I don't know who they are
and whatever, and and you justkind of have to get to a point
where where you can separate those twothings. You know, again it's the
people you know versus the people thatyou don't, and just put them into
those two categories. How do youdeal with all the people that were potentially

(55:22):
staying at home pleasuring themselves all bothof them, both of them, the
one's my wife, and they comeup to you and maybe I actually a
load. It's just on paper,you know, old school go Dexter style
and put it between a two twolikenesscope slides drop you know, drop something

(55:45):
now now? Yeah, the personapeople get of thinking they've become your best
friend. Like we had one recentlythat got pissed off because I was busy
doing other shit and I didn't normallytry to answer as many as I can,
and he got pit. He emailedme, Hey, man, I'm
supporting you. What the fuck?Yeah, dude, I'm sorry. I

(56:07):
had a fucking kid and I didn'thave time to fucking get on and answer
all your YouTube shit. It's notthat we don't appreciate it. It's just
we can't stop everything. It's hard, man. It's it's really hard to
know because you're dealing with somebody axme. You don't even know the guy
right you want and he's created anexpectation too with you. And now he
sitting there saying, what was Wasn'tthat ignoring me? Wasn't that ignoring me?

(56:28):
Right? And like, I'm not. But it's hard sometimes. Man.
I feel bad for people like likethat too, especially a guy who's
a hardcore fan right now. Butit's hard to manage those everybody's expectations and
what they especially as you get intothe hundreds of thousands, into the millions
and all that. That's that's awhole other level and tactics. And now
you got some people will tag manthen tag him on stuff, and I'll

(56:51):
be like, dude, he's sobusy, can you remove that tag.
There's no way he's going to answerI. Yesterday that happened. I was
like, no way in hell he'sgonna answer that. Tag me and I'll
go through it off it's important,I'll send it to him. Oh okay,
well I thought he did all that. Yeah. I don't like on
social media, Like I don't evengo on Facebook, I haven't in a

(57:12):
couple of years, um and evenon Instagram, Like I don't go through
the comment like I don't. Idon't read the comments anymore. You know.
I just stopped doing it because Iwant I can't keep up. And
two for the same reason is that, like I'm not gonna spend hours a
day sifting through comments from people thatI don't know who they are. You

(57:32):
know, like to me, ifif it's something where it's important enough to
where you need to get my attention, email my company and they will either
respond to you with what you need, or if if it's important enough to
where I need it to get it, then they'll make sure that I get
it. You know, I justcan't. I can't do it through fucking
social media. At some point ifit becomes impossible, right it is,
it's just impossible to no. Imean it's mentally exhausting and it's unrealistic,

(57:54):
and it's like, again, there'senough there now to where even if I
say out here all day every day, I'm not gonna go get to go
through all of them and respond toeverybody. I know how busy is.
I'm a customer is for the dogfood and everything because it's great ship.
But if I have an issue orI need to slow shit down, Hey
Mike, I need you to handlethis for me. Fuck no, go

(58:15):
online to his website and I emailthem, said an email. Well,
well not to I mean, that'swith all that so people like hey man,
I need a bag of food.It's like fucking you email the people
like like, I don't. They'renot in my garage and I'm not boxing
them up, you know, inyour trunk. Man, I was gonna
try to hit them up before Ihad all got any of them dog food.
I live close to him. I'mtalked to him almost every day.

(58:37):
I could easily be like, heyman, I need something snacks. Yeah,
so, I mean sometimes like ifI have extra ship laying around,
he's like, hey, you gotany fucking whatever? But yeah, you
know, but yeah, I meanhe lives right down the fucking street,
and you know, so like whenpeople are out of state, they're like,
hey man, you know I needa couple bags of dog food.
It's like, fucking go buy himthen, you know. But it writes
your website about this cluffee too.You should. Yeah, we'll we'll sell

(59:00):
you something. It's just it's justan espresso. Like I don't make the
coffee, Steve, I don't knowif to tell you. Damn good dude,
it's not me fired out. Yougotta tell you, all right,
Well, then I do make thecoffee. Since it's positive, that is
definitely some good coffee. That's somedrive I'm about to do a drop.
You are thing this episode might bedone soon. High. That is where

(59:20):
mic drop came from, actually,which I said on one of my first
Q and as people wondered where thename came, I was actually taking a
ship when I thought of it.That is beautiful and some of the best
thinking time comes during the drop time, doesn't it creativity? It's quiet,
it's thoughtful, it's peaceful time.It's wonderful time. My wife traps out.
I pray like I take ship withme, you know, like snacks,

(59:43):
my phone charge. I've got abackpack, and I can go into
the bathroom the just grab an oldschool newspaper. It's the one place that
most of the time nobody will comefuck with your right you can get away
with damn you're doing anything in there. That's where I do all my drugs
in the Yeah, I did Iever tell you about that. We did
a job because we own a plumbingcompany. Oh boy, dude, that

(01:00:06):
