Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to play a clip here to ask a
question about why some young men are not getting married.
Do you guys know Professor Galloway as Professor Galloway and
the guy on the bottom was a hardcore soldier in
a big war called Tropic Thunder. It was like a
very very like a legit guy and he works at hardcore.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
He had a nice gym. What was a gym called
rop in the dodgeball gym? You know what the gym? Average?
Average joe, Average joe.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
By the way, do you know the girl in a
movie that he pumps himself to make himself look bigger?
You know that girl in a movie that ends up
dating Vince van in a movie that's his wife, really,
it's his real life wife. And then with me, Yeah,
this guy's apparently very close with Tom Cruise and a
bunch of other guys. But here's Professor Galloway talking about
(00:49):
marriage is the new luxury item?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Folks? Do you agree? Rob? Can you run a poll
on this, go for it?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Sixty thirty year olds used to have at least one
child forty years ago. Now it's twenty seven percent. It
can't afford to And also when you have a lot
of young men who aren't economically viable. We don't like
to have an honest conversation about mating. Men mate socioeconomically
horizontally and down, women horizontally and up. Beyonce, I could
work at McDonald's and Mary jay Z. The opposite is
(01:16):
not true. Seventy five percent of women say economic viability
is key to a mate, only twenty five percent of men.
So when men are not doing well economically, we have
an absence of mating. We have an absence of what
is the opportunity to do the most rewarding thing in
the world, and that is build a family where you
(01:36):
get to that point of building something with someone else.
It's tough on women, but it is absolutely disastrous for men.
It just makes me very upset and rattle to think
that the most rewarding thing in my life is effectively
off limits. Marriage is a new luxury item. Four fifths
of people in the top quintile and mencome learning households
to get married. Only one in five men and the
(01:57):
lowest quintile ever have an opportunity to mate. Only eighty
percent of women have reproduced in our species on the planet.
Only forty percent of men women are disproportionately and unfairly
evaluated on their esthetics. Men are unfairly and disproportionately evaluated
on their economic viability, and a society collapses on itself
because those men get angry, and the most dangerous person
(02:17):
in the world is a lonely, broke young man.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Go there you go. My dad would say that all
the time, Tom your thoughts on this.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
We're not here to promote anybody.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
But Prof Gy has written a couple very interesting papers
on this that I think both Pat and I agree with,
and he's broken down the stats exactly as he's talking there.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You know what we need is.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You know, this isn't something you can change at the
voting booth. This isn't something that you can change overnight.
We need a viable, thriving economy that is building the
kind of job so these men are employed and are
attractive mates. Because what I said about women is true.
It's not just these, you know, so called the super
(03:04):
aesthetic women that are marrying the rich guys. There's women
out there that want a stable, honest, clean guy to
have a life with. And when guys are all by themselves,
as Prof g said, you're in your you're in your
bedroom all by yourself playing video games. Isolationists, you know,
(03:25):
the online world is your world. You're you're not building
yourself socially. And then never mind, you go out to
find a job, and in certain areas you can't. You know,
we need the economy to be booming so that people
have jobs. And guess what. With the job comes pride
and self esteem. Good pride and self esteem and attractiveness.
And guess what you find women that are attracted to that,
(03:47):
you have kids, and you build the strength and fabric
of the country that values all those things. But you
got to do it one step at a time, and
you've got to do what you can do to reach
across and encourage and help people, you know, raise up.
And that's that's where my heart is. I when I
say I leave people better than your found them, that's
what I try to do. When I say that, I'm
(04:09):
I'm always willing to talk to people about how do
you find a way up?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's me, jeff I.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
You know, I'm going to go back to college here.
You know, what did men do long before everybody had
to go to college? What kind of jobs. Did they
did end up gravitating toward Yes, Still they're not as
many of those as.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Farmers, construction hands blumber.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Right, And so what we did as a society is
deviate and the rechannel a lot of that effort into
what goes on in colleges these days unproductive uses. We're it's,
you know, the old Austrian economic term, malinvestment. We're malinvesting
in our human stock by forcing people to go to
college when they should be doing something else.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And that's not the only reason.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that's the
sole answer here, but that's part of the problem here
is we've we've we've overestimated the value of college education.
And maybe there was a time when that was the case,
when collegeducation actually did build up the intellectual stock of
the labor force, but that that ship is saled.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That passed a long time ago.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Now we just mass produced all of these people in
the college and we don't give them productive skills. In fact,
we give them they end up being lost at the end.
They end up overburdened with debt, they're lost, they have
no real idea of where they're going, and they don't
really have any productive skills that can be used to
build a career and therefore a family. So yeah, I'm
going to demonize college again.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And we allowed them to go into deck did in
our history.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
We encourage them to That's the thing. The incentive structure
is you have to go to college. If you don't
go to college, you'll be left behind.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
There's instead of writing qualification because that's that university that
had that student loan partner immediately sold it to the processors,
right the US government.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But it's all backwards. There was no risk.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
There was no risk.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You know, you think the mortgage crisis was bad because
they weren't underwriting and they were doing Nina loans and stuff.
That is nothing compared to excuse me, the shit that
the student loan processors you know do after the fact
on payments, but that the student loan providers do with
no thought to the underwriting and what you're doing to
these kids. Now you signed on the line for that
(06:09):
car payment, you got that high car payment. The individual
has to be accountable for their actions.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
They are and I'm.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Against they don't have the information, but they are getting
There are drug pushers in the registrarers office that are
pushing these student loan options. No, no, don't drop off
and don't I'm just sign here.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
But that the most college kids don't have the information
to make informed decisions. Number when their parents don't tell
them their school. There's schools are incentivized to push them
off into college.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's that's the case.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
And nobody tells them if you go to this school,
you're expected net earnings over your lifetime is going to
be X.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Everybody thinks it's huge.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
It's if I go to college, I'm going to be
rich because once upon a time there was a differentiation
where if you did go to college, you ended up
in the top end of the income spectrum.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But that's a.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Long time ago, so you can't People don't realize that
they're actually going in the wrong direction by going to school.
They're getting worse off their net worth, their future networth
is going down. And that's partly to blame what we're seeing,
what we just talked about here with the lack of family.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
When you're going to get a car loan by law,
there is a square that is in the middle of
the page, one third way from the top, and it
is the total of all these payments. When you sign
for a car loan, they have to by law, they
have to tell you that. Bye way, here's the information.
There's your payment, there's your rate, there's your paying for
the car, and there's the top total of payments. They're
(07:33):
all together there right on the line right there have
to be shown. That's not the case when you get
to the student loans. So it's their fault for ticking,
for not thinking I'm getting a three hundred thousand dollars
student loan. Am I going to make three hundred thousand
dollars extra over ten years to pay this back?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Maybe if I'm a cardiologist, you know? Or they've been.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Told yes, they've been told the answer is yes, go
to school, take out the debt. It doesn't matter because
when you come out the other side with a degree,
you're going to make x more money than you do.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I know they've been a tragedy, but I'm also saying
there's personal responsibilities surning that paper.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Sure, sure, yeah, and I think it's more than time hit.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
The only thing I ask of you, tom next time
you're going to say that, just say earmuffs, give it
a second, then drop it go ahead, Brent, I'm sorry,
I have to.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
I think I think it's a little bit more than
that too. I think that there's just not enough urgency
amongst people because I mean, ultimately, like only twenty percent
people I think are motivated like exceptional people, and then
eighty percent people are just like you know, less motivated
on exceptional people. And that's the way it's always been,
and no matter how much people want something, it's it's
going to be less people than the majority that like
(08:42):
do everything possible to improve their situation to like, you know,
be at the top rachelont of society. I mean it's
like I think there's something to be like hopeful for guys,
Like I send Rob this chart here because it shows
that most of the time, like guys don't even appear
most attractive until they turn thirty five. So this show
is like when girls are considered like the most appealing
(09:02):
and when guys are most appealing. So like girls peak
at age about twenty three in terms of like they
call it sexual market value, and then guys peak around
age thirty five because that's something coming to like their
physical and financial prime. So you know, it's probably a
lonely place for guys that are in their early twenties
because the girls at that age they seem like way
out of their league and don't have any interest in them.
But you know, like if you do pull all your
(09:24):
energy into improving yourself financially and like physically and all that,
then like I think you're gonna be in bare position.
Then if you just mope about it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't know. I think forty seven is still peak.
So I don't appreciate certainly a fan of this, but.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No, it's not.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
It's so women peak at the boob on the on
the left, they're at twenty three, and then the boob
on the right at forty three.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Men peaks twenty years as look more like knees bent
than they do boobs.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
If your boobs look like that, that's a weapon. Tom, Well, I.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Remember we were in La where eighty six percent of
the boobs were not real.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, but that's a terrible doctor. Like that guy should
get fined. That doctor should be like I want to
read his yell p reviews because there's a complains and.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You walk down the beach.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, Tom, I don't know what to beat. You go to.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
We don't go to a new beaches rough. Can you
go back to the other chart that you had about
swipe rights, Yeah, go ahead, right, So.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
That's nothing to do with money, by the way, So
you know that whole article for Earth from Scott Gallway,
who's saying it's because of money only. No, it's also
because of looks. Like this is just purely looks. Nobody
knows how much Moneybidy's making on tender, And this shows
that guys they swipe right on fifty two of women
they see on tender swipe left, and then women they
(10:39):
swipe right on only three percent of guys they see
on tender then swipe left, meaning they say no to
ninety five percent of guys they see on tender. So
women are just like much more selective based off like
visuals and first impression than guys are. So there's more
than one factory league, not just finances. But yeah, the
financial thing is definitely a thing. The cost of living
We've talked about to death. That's a problem. But it's
(11:01):
like there's not like a huge amount of motivated people
that are like willing to do anything to get themselves
out of that situation.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I mean, look, the question is marriage worth it?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The poll.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Here's what people are saying, Rob it's a luxury item.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
This is what people said.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Two hundred people voted do you agree with Galloway that
marriage is the new luxury item?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes? Forty three percent said no. Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
The reality of it is it is very expensive to
get married today. Okay, very But I will tell you
you know, you can buy a lot of things. You
can travel, you can party, you can have fun. One
of the main purpose of being a human being is
to procreate. And I don't mean the exercise of it,
(11:45):
go at it. I'm talking about the actual idea of
a kid that calls you and says, Dad, where are you?
Daughter calls you and says, dad, when you coming home?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I run home.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Brooke runs to me and she puts her feet around
my back and hugs and puts her cheek against the cheek.
All the money in the world, you don't even think
about it. You don't think about the success, you don't
think about your following. You don't think about the money
in the bank account, the investments, the people that called you,
the You don't think about any of that stuff. You
just think family. And to not experience that as an individual,
(12:23):
it's a travesty, because it's a God given tool, God
given gift given to us to do something with that
and to see that kid grow into somebody later on
who independently their dreams are becoming a reality.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
They're figuring life out.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And you always have these people that are walking around
with your pain, your thoughts are with them.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's priceless if you can find a way to do it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'm not folks, I'm not telling you do find the
closest person near to you and go make a baby
with them right now.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You shouldn't. You got to choose that properly.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Making a baby with the wrong person could be you know,
crazy as well. New Year's is around the corner. Twenty
twenty six is going to be here like this, yes,
and for us, we had our off site meeting yesterday
at Ritz Fororlaud, which I'll tell you later on. But
every year before we get into a new year, we
have a long strategy session. Yesterday started at seven thirty,
we ended at eight forty five. The best meeting ever.
(13:16):
We've never had a meeting where this many strategies was
shared and the plans of what we're doing going into
twenty twenty six with all our nine business units. But
the question is for you going into twenty twenty six,
how ready you are a lot of people asking and said, hey,
how did this whole thing get started, this whole YouTube thing.
Was it accidental? Was it intentional? Was there a strategy
behind it? I want you to watch this video and
(13:37):
then you'll see what I'm talking about in regards to
December twelfth, Go ahead, rob So. On twenty thirteen, we
started a YouTube channel called Value tiam and in the
first year Value Timin got one hundred and sixty seven
thousand views. That's it, and we were ecstatic. The next
ten years total we got four hundred and ninety one
million views in ten years. You know how many we
(13:59):
got last year? A billion views? You know how many
we got a last quarter? Last quarter alone all social
media and our YouTube channels combine, YouTube is seven hundred million,
social is nine hundred million combine, nearly one point six
billion just last quarter. Why because every single year we
(14:19):
would plan for the following year and I would watch
everybody as well. You know, I don't need this. Every
year we would pay to see how we can make
our YouTube channel tighter, Data stats, all of it. If
