Speaker 1 (00:00):
And by the way, I'm super pissed when all the
youngsters try to call you unk because you're still plenty young. Mike,
you're very young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mike, you're very young.
And all these fucking 20-year-olds that come in here. Yeah,
but Gary, he's 41.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Bro, he's a f * * * ing baby.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, but Gary, he has no family or wife.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, I understand people come in here and try to
criticize him. He's a f * * * ing player.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hell yeah, Gary.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Bro, he's a f * * * ing player. Hell
f * * * ing yeah, Gary. Finally, somebody on
my team.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Mike, when did you get in?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Midnight, last night. You know how it goes, GV?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
You been good?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Fantastic, bro, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
You look good, man.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Moving into the restaurant industry, the worst space in the world.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, but you know this, at scale it's not.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I know.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's for bad players. It's a winner take all kind
of thing, you know what I mean? You gotta be
a real player. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Good for you, man.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
How's the burger thing going?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean, that's what I'm talking about. It's going good.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Well, yeah, it's just making sure you're working with the
right operators in the food space.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Are you going to franchise that?

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Right now, we're talking about 1010 Burger for anybody watching.
Right now, it's all going to be company-owned, but we
just have a really strong operating partner. That's going to
handle a lot of the operating and hiring and location identification,
so on and so forth.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Got it, got it, got it. That's kind of the
way to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
If you find, and Logan can attest to this too,
and GV, you can too, you've got to find the
right partners. And just be, if you can just be
the face, bro, that just markets and somebody else is
the machine behind it and you can trust that with
your soul, your life, your soul, your heart, then you
could succeed, you know?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, it's more about
figuring out what the fuck you're actually good at, right?
Like some people are operators, some people are marketers, like
some people are so talented they can do both.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's fine. Yeah, that's you. That is you.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
And you got to watch out for some of these
operators that then when they have a little success with
you as a partner, they decide they also want to
be a face.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Sure. That's become such a big reality in today's world, right?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Everyone's now in play.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know, 20 years ago, there were a small group
of celebrities and then there was operators. Now, everybody has
no friction to actually be a face. You're one podcast away.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
You know, you're one.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
vlog or streaming session away from like feeling it and
to your point, some people get so intoxicated with the attention,
they lose their way. I watched a lot of, you know,
so many operators started building their own personal brands because
of my content and I've watched some of them get
short term success from it but then completely lose their
way because they think they're fucking Beyonce now when they're

(02:43):
running a fucking pizza shop, you know, and so like, yeah,
people get high in their supply.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Especially in those first 15 minutes of it, like when
you have that big first viral pop, but they don't
realize how few people make it from 15 minutes to
three hours.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
In the space.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
And now with the way that the social media algorithms work,
Vine was really the first time it kind of started
that way. You were really one piece of content away
from everything changing. Now people think a single viral post
is means they're Logan, when in reality, to your point,
getting to your 30 minutes of fame, let alone your 15,

(03:20):
let alone to your three years of fame, is an
incredibly high... challenging framework, especially even just emotionally. Forget about
if you're even good enough to know what the fuck
to do on camera and all that. When you start
dealing with that level of judgment, the amount of emotional
strength you need to maintain being out there with all

(03:41):
the scrutiny, there's just so many people that are not
mentally prepared for the heat and that fucks them up,
let alone the fact that the platforms continue to change.
You know, back to Logan as the prompt, there were
a lot of people in that group of the Vine 100.
The first wave. You know, that weren't able to transition
to the next phase. Long form. Branding. And again, I

(04:05):
think what Logan represents and I see in others is
a lot of people are just talent. whereas other people
are talent and have an entrepreneurial lens. And then there's
even a rarer crew of talent, entrepreneurial lens, and then
also operator.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Or plus athlete, which is another universal language as I
travel the world that I find like, it's just so
globally spoken.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's like, oh, you're partners with the fighter. They go
like this.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Maybe they can't even speak English. Wrestler, Logan, WWE, right?
Like fighting is almost like mathematics.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
It's also, yes.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
It's just globally spoken.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's Roman Empire. It's the most basic thing. Like all
of us can feel the fighting thing. But I also
think the thing that Logan and Jake have done well
between YouTube and then if you look carefully, you look
at Netflix, right? Netflix is global. Like when Raw is live,
there are people watching it all over the world live, right?
And I think that people underestimate the sheer amount of

(05:06):
attention that these platforms have. And so when you're not
limiting yourself in distribution, the places where he shows up
are all three places are completely utterly global. It's YouTube,
it's podcasting, and then Netflix Live, whether it's a fight
that Jake's doing or whether they're doing Raw, This is

(05:26):
a level of distribution that people underestimate.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
I think Jake just figured out a little hack in
his merger with the PFL. MVP MMA just merged with
PFL to create this new fight league to try to
rival the UFC. And their model of distribution has been on.
free platforms, they say free because you got a subscription, right?
But assuming you have a subscription, which you probably do,
it's Netflix, what are you gonna watch?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
And we're in that era, right? The streaming services are
doing that now, right? Obviously, UFC did a huge deal
with Paramount, right? The sports are now on that. What
cable did to network television, what network television did to
the radio, streaming is now doing to cable. I'm fascinated
by people's inability to understand that the world will always turn.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
And there'll be new games.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
All that Netflix and Hulu and Paramount are doing is
exactly what ESPN did to ABC and NBC.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Dude, I love the clips that you find from 15,
20 years ago of like a young Gary Vee sitting
at a table screaming at the live stream watching. You're like,
people aren't going to read magazines anymore. Who reads a
magazine here?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Do the polls?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
You're wearing a tie still?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
No tie. Go look at the clips.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Button down, yeah, yeah, button down. It's the button downs.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was buttoned down. Dude, it's so good.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
You do have this ability to predict the future, and
now it's interesting because you've seen enough cycles.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Where history does repeat itself.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
It just looks different in that way.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
The thing that I do well and people that I
admire do well is they're willing to talk about shit
even if it's at the detriment of their short-term money.
I think one of the things that I'd rather have
that clip than make more money is And I think
you guys now know this. You're in a point in
your career where you're spending a lot of time with
a lot of A players, financially, status. What I think

(07:11):
you guys will see as you continue to roll, and
by the way, I'm super pissed when all the youngsters
try to call you uncle, because you're still plenty young.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Mike, you're very young.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Mike, Mike.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You're very young. And all these fucking 20-year-olds that come
in here. Yeah, but Gary, he's 41.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Bro, he's a fucking baby.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, but Gary, he has no family or wife.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I understand people come in here and try to
criticize him. He's a fucking player. Hell yeah, Gary. Bro,
he's a fucking player. Hell fucking yeah, Gary. Finally, somebody
on my team. Sorry, sometimes gigolos come around. He's a
fucking player. This is who he is. I understand some
people want to get married at 25 and settle down
and have a family.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
This man still has a couple of turns around the sun.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
What do you want from him?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
A couple.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
A key word, a couple.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Hey, a lie, dude, to your point, a lot of them,
and some of these people, they settle down because they
have to, but I just don't got to do it.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
And he weaponized detachment theory, whatever the fuck he throws out.
It's not true.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
He's enjoying himself.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
What do you want from this guy? The man's enjoying himself.
And like, oh, by the way, I laugh when dudes
say shit. I'm like, right, you don't understand that he
enjoys dating 25-year-old smoke shows.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Like, what's the matter with you?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
It is true. No shit, he enjoys it. And by
the way, He's allowed. And this is actually an important
conversation to level it up. This obsession with people trying
to deploy on each other how they should live their
fucking life Like why don't we all just fucking mind
our own fucking business and live our own lives. If

(08:40):
you have flowers to give, which is something I love doing,
then fucking give them. But if you've got pot shots
or your own insecurities are showing up with you digging
on someone who you're actually envious of, I promise you,
you've accomplished nothing.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
But Gary, that's hard for people.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
That's so hard, especially with social media, because all you're
doing is seeing other people's lives and not just their lives,
the highlight reels of their lives.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Comparison is the thief of joy.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
People don't have joy, so they go to comparison to
try to denigrate you or tear you down.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Because it makes them feel better about themselves.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, and I understand.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
And so my point, and what I'm hoping to put
out there, hoping just one fucking person listening decides this
is the time they stop being a bitch, is I
don't want them to do that because them shitting on
you or your brother or Mike or someone else is
going to do zero for them to get out of
the place they're in.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah. Zero.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
In fact, it will only dig it in deeper.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
On top of that, I always thought that I had
done a very good job since I got here in
making sure I illustrated what my life looked like prior
to all of this so that people understood the journey
and understood like, okay, he was once exactly where I was.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
He was homeless.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
No, you were way worse.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Way worse. Way worse. I was addicted to hair when
I was living on the streets. No, bro, you're a degenerate.
I put that whole story out with.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
hurt and didn't feel great at first, to help the
people that are then saying, like.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
And most of all, Mike, and I was watching him
from afar, we haven't really, really chopped up the way
I get to chop with him.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Not only were you doing that, it was also helping you.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
100%. You know, like, when I was watching you go
through that, I was like, good for him, because no
one was going to weaponize anything on you.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's... Life is just the last scene of 8 Mile.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Like, if you're in a battle rap and.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
You go first, shit on yourself first because it leaves
the opponent nothing. Speechless.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Takes all the smoke out of them.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
And, like, there's so many people we know that are
not living their full joy or their full, like, offense
on life because there's a skeleton or two in their
closet that they know every day they get bigger, there's
a chance today's the day that someone's going to open
that closet, I think people have to deploy more humility
and more accountability. What's amazing about all the people that

(10:51):
we're looking at right now behind the camera, and more importantly,
the millions that are gonna watch this over the next decade,
is they all deep down know they've also fucked up too,
and humanity is very good at tearing people down.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
But in reality, they're.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Always ready to let you say you're sorry and make
amends because deep down they know they've got flaws too.
And I wish people understood that more so they could
become more accountable of their shortcomings, which would then free
them up to fucking shine.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
The thing that you have, and Logan was- It's poetic, Gary.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Thank you, brother.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
No, that was incredible.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
And you asking, like, wishing people had more and Logan
asking why this isn't gonna happen. Everything that you're delivering
right now from that couch is delivered from someone who
has lived life and has gained the wisdom of someone
that's over the age of a certain age.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
You have to go through the.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Fucking reps to get it.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I will say this.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Lou, come here.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I know this is weird. Come here, Lou. Old Lou.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Let's clap it up for Old Lou. We call him
Old Lou. We call him Old Lou, not because he's old,
because we hang with his son.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
We call him Little Lou.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
So this is Old Lou and Little Lou.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
So why not Big Lou?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Most people call him Big Lou. I like calling him
Old Lou. But Lou, you and I worked.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
In the liquor business when I was stocking shelves. We
met when I was, what, 22 years old?

Speaker 7 (12:05):
22, 23, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Right?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I just want Mike to hear this.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Please explain to them what version of, you're one of
the few people that actually knew me, because so few
people actually knew me, because I lived in a liquor store.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Did you ever see Goonies?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. That guy right there, stand up, Beamer.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Stand up, Beamer.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
He owns the Goonies house.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'm very aware.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm very aware of this story. Bro, he talks, I've
talked to him, and we've talked about this. I love
telling people, it's him, bro. He's the guy who owns
the Goonies house. So sick, dude. Back to, hey, you guys.
I was basically sloth from 14 to 34. My dad
basically had me chained in the basement of a liquor
store for 20 years. And I built a huge business

(12:50):
for my father. This man watched me work 100 hours
a week, 52 weeks a year.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm not going to lead the witness.

Speaker 7 (12:59):
A couple hours a night breaking cards.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, what's in a blue moon?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
The trading cards thing was always there. But Lou, explain
to them how old I was at 22. Jesus, man.

Speaker 7 (13:09):
This guy at 22 years old was 45 years old.
The one of the most amazing operators I've ever seen.
One of the things that impressed me the most about
Gary when he was 22, I mean, you guys see
him today the way he is, right? When he was 22,
I watched how he treated his employees. You know, he
treated his employees like, you know, back, you're talking 2000, 1999,

(13:31):
people treated employees like shit.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, by the way, it wasn't this woke shit, but
it was really nice. We were like, fuck, like people
were dick-faced, right? Like you remember, employees were like, the
fucking hell, like you shit on them.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I was a dishwasher at TJ McKiff's in Milford.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
And this guy.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Treated his employees like I'd never seen. Like, you know,
we all worked at companies where, scare your bosses. This
guy treated everybody like, like family, wanted to know everything
about him, wanted to know how they ticked. And I
was just so impressed with him even early on. Like
he says, I know him from the beginning, right? And
I tell him every day, he's getting better and better
every single day. But what you hear today was there

(14:09):
back then too when he was 22 years old.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
All right, get out of here, Lou.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Thank you. Get out of here, Lou.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
We love you, Lou. Thank you, Lou.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good job.

Speaker 2 (14:17):

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I didn't bring loot for that, for that validation. This
is a cosign to my mother. I was that person
at 22 because I have the most remarkable, disproportionately most
phenomenal mother that has ever walked the fucking face of
the earth. That woman lost her mother at five, grew
up in the fucking Soviet Union. You have no fucking

(16:17):
clue how fucked up the Soviet Union was. Everyone went
to jail, the government owned everything, everybody died at 50,
you know how we talk about Russians drinking vodka?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
They wanted to fucking die. They wanted to fucking die.
The whole country was a jail.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Where I was born, me, let it on my mom,
is the only place on earth today that is similar
is North Korea.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You're not allowed to leave. The whole country's a jail.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
She lost her mother at five, grew up in a
fucking jail with a shit society, and yet the level
of love she put in me, but not only that,
the way she championed the way I treated people, the
reason he knew that I'm not special, my mother's special, right?
And so, What you know is Gary Vee and you

(17:05):
really know me behind the scenes in a way that
most don't. You guys see the content. I understand the cynicism.
People make jokes about me saying everyone's young and all
that shit. But who I am behind the camera is
a better version than even who I am on camera.
I really believe that. And more importantly, that is all
based on a world-class mother. So all the Gary Vee content,
all of it. It's just me trying to do a

(17:27):
little something that's a version of what my mom did
for me, because I know all these fucking kids that
are listening right now, they get so much dog shit
in the feed, so much bullshit. The amount of content,
yo homies that are watching right now, open up your
fucking social media, go through the thing, go through your
fucking feed for five minutes. I promise you, 90% of

(17:47):
the fucking content is someone telling you who to blame
for your fucked up shit. Go open up your fucking
phone right now. It's someone telling you, and if they're
on the left or the right, they're the same fuckers.
Whether they're fully blue or fully fucking red, they're the
same fucking pieces of shit to tell you that you
should blame everything on someone else.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
The government, billionaires, immigrants, all dumb shit.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
It's Fauci this week.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
As if fucking Fauci has anything to do.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
With your fucking life. Well, especially right now. Especially 2026.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
So with all this love, let me give you the
realest love because it feels like fucking poison. If your
life sucks, it's 100% your fault. It's not your mom's fault.
It's not your dad's fault. It's not America's fault. It's
not fucking Fauci's fucking fault. It's your fault that you're
believing it. And like, for me, it's like, I just

(18:42):
want to give as much love because if you get love,
then you get strong enough to stop pointing fingers. Then
you go like this. And once you go like this,
you have a fucking chance. And my mom taught me that.
And that's why I was that at 22. And there's
a lot of 22-year-olds I meet that have wisdom, luck
of the draw DNA, luck of the draw of growing
up with little, hard work.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
At 14 years old.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
I was working 12 hours a fucking Saturday at a
liquor store.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's fucking.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
my dad should be in fucking jail. It was like,
and so I just think that it's going through life,
whether you're 22 or 50 or 19, but a lot
of people are over coddled.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
We have great luxuries.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
People spend all their time, to your point, worrying about
what they don't have versus what they do have.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
You know, I sit on the board of Pencils of
Promise and Charity Water.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
There are 800 million people, 800 million people right now
as we're doing this podcast that do not have access
to clean water. Me and Nick Dio, that beautiful man
right now, we went to Ghana building fucking schools for
kids that if we didn't build those schools, they would
sit under a fucking tree. tree with an old man
from the village reading a book from 40 years ago
the same book every week like anybody watching or listening

(19:57):
to this podcast is fucking privileged dick yeah yeah hell
yeah like if you have time to listen to this
dumb shit you should not be complaining.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
About it for once it's not dumb shit this is
this is a good shit but you know it is
it is funny the uh the idea of like putting
putting your world into perspective i think can be such
a a powerful thing if you can if you can
understand like yeah we live a really blessed life and
comfortable life i don't i don't think people were able
to take hot showers until like maybe like 70 years ago.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
And by the way, for the people that are winning
or accomplishing, saying that you're blessed or like you have
a good doesn't undermine, you know, what you've done or
put it again. Like I just, you know, I don't,
I just have my brain works. I want to talk
about this. Brother, you fucking worked. Bro, from the day
I met you when you came to New York for
the first time to this moment, you fucking worked.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Bro, you fucking worked.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Like these people that weaponize luck Like, I feel so
horrible for people that weaponize the word luck. If you're
weaponizing luck, you are very confused how the game.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Is actually played. Like, oh, he got lucky?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah. Yeah, like physically, like people are, you know, you
are more conducive to be an athlete than others. I get, like,
there's things that are serendipity and there's things, but bro,
I have watched you for 15 fucking years work and
adjust and change. Two steps forward, one back, seven forward.
You fucking work, bro. When you started doing the wrestling thing...
I grew up massive wrestling. Macho Man Randy Savage is

(21:28):
my favorite person that's ever lived the face of the earth. Literally,
when you started that, I was like, this is a wrap.
He's going to crush. Because I knew you could do
the mic because that's what you do. But I was like, no,
this kid's just going to fucking spend nine trillion hours
until he can fucking do frog jumps from the top

(21:49):
rope backwards.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I just knew it.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's so funny.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
You came on our podcast shortly after my WrestleMania debut.
and we spoke about it, and now, you know, Fucking
five years later, it's my full-time job.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
One of my favorite things, you know, one of my
favorite things, just to keep this full press glaze fest
I'm giving you.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, keep it going.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
One of my favorite things ever was because I love
the wrestling fan community so much.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Because they're like the people downstairs.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Like, all niche audiences, comic guys, wrestling guys, sports guys,
anything new is like, fuck that bitch. Right?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
And when you came in.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
They're like, fuck this influencer. Right? And I'm like, this
guy's gonna win these fuckers over. And I remember.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
you pulled some move early on.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
It was the ricochet, the middle of the meeting.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
And I was just like, I fucking, the second I
saw it, I went right.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
To Twitter and I watched all these fucking people that
fucking hate you.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
They're like, man, he's all right. And I was like,
you know what?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah. Like, but like, Yeah, man, you're just fucking, I'm
happy for you.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Thank you, let me pivot at this.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I appreciate all the kind words. Hey, you want to
intro Gary Vee, by the way?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is Gary Vee.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Today's guest is one of the most influential entrepreneurs in
the world.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
He's been in multiple successful businesses, transformed the marketing industry,
and has inspired millions with his no bullshit advice on business, branding,
and life.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Give it up for Gary Vee!

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Let me pivot the glaze into a question because it's
happening with me now, which is weird because.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I fucking love Pokemon. I've loved Pokemon my entire, it's,
it was, it was my first or second real love.
It was like that in Harry Potter. I don't know
which one. I don't remember which one.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
The first girl you loved. Give her flowers.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Give it. No, I was an adult. We saw her.
And the first girl I love is my wife.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
No, no, but I understand.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
It is.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Shout out, baby.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
I love you, baby girl.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
You didn't have a crush in the fourth grade? No,
we did. We just had her.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Not like love, love.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, okay, not love.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Like, let's make some random girl in Ohio's life. Like,
just say something.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
What's her name again? No, I can't do it. I'm married. Bro,
what are you fucking ridiculous, dude? What's the high school
girl's name?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
First girl I fell in love with was my wife. Mike,
list the 987 girls you've loved in the last week. Um, um.
I'm in this position now where I'm doing this Pokemon content.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
All of a sudden, this year, not when I started
doing Pokemon content five years ago, this year, I'm getting
the LARPer comment.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Basically, he's pretending to do this thing.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
It's interesting because when I started on YouTube as a Viner,
I was just LARPing YouTube.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I was LARPing. Get out of here, Viner.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh, damn.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Okay, Daily Vlogger, you're a YouTuber.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
When I started with wrestling, it was the outsider you're
not allowed in until like oh he really cares we
let him in and it's interesting because it happens in
collecting and not just.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
The pokemon sphere but all the.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Sports pokemon magic it's like there is a bit of
gatekeeping that takes place and it's interesting because why why
why do i feel like i'm in a position where
i have to prove myself and also how can i
prove myself and i've realized that like Nothing I do
or say will ever affect the way these people think
about me and something they love in their community.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I always called it the band rule. This may make
sense for some of the music fans.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I saw it a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
When Pearl Jam and Nirvana got massive, and the internet
was just coming around, Prodigy, there was bulletin boards, and
I watched these people that literally watched Nirvana and Pearl
Jam in fucking bars in Seattle, 50 people each, when
they became the biggest bands in the world start to
shit on them, it's because the world got their thing.

(25:19):
And when people are passionate about shit, they don't want
it to be fucked with, they think it's theirs.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I think it's a good thing, Logan. And I'll tell
you why.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
By the way, I, at this point in my life,
anything I enter, also, it will always happen. We've been
doing comic books for Be Friends for like a year
and a half now. I'm like, I'm scared of nothing
except going to a comic convention because I know that crowd.
I don't think anybody even knows we're doing comic books yet.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
You're very much the new guy.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Always.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
In a legacy industry.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Comics, bro.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
And I'm a fucking maniac. I'm like, I'm Stan Lee, bitch.
That's what I think.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I think I'm going to do it.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
And so you can imagine, they don't like it to
begin with.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
And then I'm coming out like guns fucking blade.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'd be a great heel.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
You are.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
You are.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
But I definitely am empathetic because I do it with
my love.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
You should see how I act when someone says they're
a Jets fan.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Name three players.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Name three players from 97.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
More like, if you can't tell me what Colin Jason
Fabini went to, what number he wore, and how many
false starts he had his rookie year.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I will shit on you.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I get it. That is, by
the way, still my favorite thing about you.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Is that you have been, you are the most, you
have to be the most famous Jets fan.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I got to get fireman Ed Love because he's the OG,
but I am definitely out and about on my fandom.
If the Jets, obviously the Knicks just won a title,
which is unbelievable, and just the greatest, and I was
part of that, but when I tell you the delta
for me between Jets and Knicks is substantial, if the
Jets win a Super.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Bowl, God, dude.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I'm moving to North Korea and living there full time
I gotta do something outrageous.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
But I saw the videos when the Knicks won you.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Were going crazy they were my number two and it
was massive but I'm telling you it's like everything sports
is the most insane bro back to wrestling when Macho
Man lost the title to Hogan in Wrestlemania 5 I
cried my eyes out I hated Hulk Hogan for 20
years what?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yes bro.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I'm sorry. I used to do it in my vlogs.
It's the entrance for my theme song. Hey, yo, I'm sorry.
I got two shirts up on WWE shop fanatics right now.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
I hate Logan Paul. Yes, I am the one behind it.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
You can monetize the haters and still humble because after all,
I am your humble king. And I'm going to stay
humble because I'm just that humble. You can grab my
shirts and all WWE merch hats. T's replica title belt
superstar collections on WWE shop and fanatics get yours today.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Back to the show.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
So anyway, back to passion. You as someone who's going
to always come in and we have some similarities. You'll
go into new shit because you want to. You're going
to put in the work. You're going to disrupt it
in some ways. You're going to do it different. I think,
and I could see it already. I thought the wrestling
thing was one of it. You've got three to five
more at bats where you're going to enter stuff and

(28:29):
you're going to get to a place where not only
are you going to be able, you've always been.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Able to deal with it.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
You went through a lot of stuff early on that
allowed you to like be able to deal with it.
You're going to actually appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
I do.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I totally do.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Like you get it.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
I'll tell you what, bro, I am a storyteller at heart.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I started telling stories with you and Jerome Jarre when
I was making Vines. They started in six second burst,
but I'm a storyteller and that conflict or any setback
in life now, now, You can have an arc.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
You can have a character arc that people can buy
into because it's relatable, bro. That's life. Shit ain't going
to be perfect.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
And yeah, you're going to get knocked down the mountain,
but put one foot in front of the other and
start climbing that mountain again.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Or don't have an arc and just be Voldemort. Why
do you even have to have a comeback?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
He's got an arc. No, but I'm saying why do
you even have to have a... Dude, the villains are like... Dude,
the Joker. Be the villain, bro. You can still have
the arc.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Do you know how the Joker's thing plays out?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
You know how I got these scars.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, I mean, listen, at the end of the day,
the truth is no one gives a fuck.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Real talk, all of.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
This, no one gives a fuck.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
The second something bad happens to someone in your family,
you don't give a fuck about what's happening to your
sports team, you don't care about yelling at some influencer,
you don't care about sliding in DMs.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
None of this actually fucking matters.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
So once you get to that level of simplicity, you
know this, both of you know this.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I know enough about both of you.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
You start to realize at some point, it all doesn't really,
even the, it's just, what do you really fucking.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Need right now?

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, that's when you're really free and you can really
start to manipulate the system. That's like that unplugging from
the Matrix moment. Like for me lately, I've been obsessed
with this idea that I don't really even think anything
that happens in this dimension matters, dude.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I'm worried about what's going on next door, parallel to
this one. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, I know.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I know you get a little weird. No, but honestly,
I get it. I get it.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Dude, I've already done all this shit, bro.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And that's when it just becomes noise. And then if
you could... My biggest thing is I don't want people
that are winning, you two included, to get to this
place where you're shitting on the haters.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I'm looking for people to deploy compassion.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
So, Gary, Gary, Gary, I started doing this. I say,
God bless them. God bless you, bro.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
You clearly need... You need... like something's hurt. People are
people you're hurt. God bless you.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, bro. And then, and then like what I'm, I'm
just asking you, like how deep.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Do you mean it? I mean it.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Good. I, I'll be honest. I was maybe a cup two,
three years ago. I was kind of pretending. Cause I
saw you, I saw you approach haters with empathy.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
It was just fascinating. Cause I'm inherently combative. I'm like,
I'm like this. Yeah. And then I really started going, Oh,
I'm 31, bro. I'm an adult. I realized you have
a problem.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
And I, and I'm not, not, Sound mean, like, something
is hardwired in you incorrectly, or like, because of the
trauma or hardship you've had in your life, you think
you need to shit on someone else to make.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
You feel better? Like, honestly, God bless you, you need it.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Or, back to even more grace for everyone, or... In
this moment, they're not in a great place.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Fair, also fair.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Some people actually have very significant trauma and we should
deploy incredible empathy. Just again, looking at everybody behind the cameras,
then there's also just like six month windows or four
year windows that are not just your best fucking moment.
And you're hurting enough that the only way to get
a short moment of relief is to go into misery
loves company and try to hurt someone else to fix

(31:58):
that short term pain. And for me, you never really
know when you're getting that energy towards you, is this
something really, really deep and fundamental, or is it just
a chapter in time? And I think, again, just realizing
you're just a mirror for what they're about, if you
can deploy that humility, if you can not take it personal,

(32:19):
it really puts you in a real place, and then
once you get over that hump, if you're in a
place where you actually just want it better for them
and you can give them a minute of your time,
people are just sometimes looking to be seen.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Well, that's the other thing, too, is they're not even,
a lot of times the fucking haters ain't even real haters.
They just want likes.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
That's also true. And that's the worst part. I'm like, yeah,
here we go, dude. I start to feel bad for
this guy that keeps saying dat big gal on my.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Pictures, bro.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
He ain't even a real hater.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
He wants to fucking elevate in the comments to get
pussy or something like that, bro.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
He's just trying to get some likes.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, but good for him.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeti got him, but I start feeling bad, I start
to pour compassion.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Bro, I don't want your compassion. I'm trying to get
some likes.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
And then a lot of times, too, you'll respond to
him and be like, Hey, man, I saw that comment
where you said that I hope I fall down a
flight of stairs and bash my head into the stair
rail and die. And then you mess with them. You're like, yo,
I know you're going through some shit. I just want
to let you know shit's going to get better. And
they're like, yo, it's all good, bro. Can we take
a selfie? I'm actually a huge fan.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I'm like, then why did you say you want me to.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Fall down the stairs, bro? Just say you like my shit. Bro,
trolling evolved into this thing. that is like a form
of entertainment and all this. It's all.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I don't like that part. Yeah. Because you can't tell...
I don't... Like, say fuck you to me in real life, please, bro.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I don't like it because I think it's confusing a
lot of 11, 12, 13-year-olds.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
That's why I don't like it. Correct, correct. I don't
think those kids understand, and then they start thinking it's
cool to be a dickface. And I just wish a
lot of these... you know, internet dick faces got punched
in the mouth once real good. So, like, people were
far less ridiculous in the 80s because if you talk
the kind of shit you talk in fucking Twitter now,
you actually got punched in the mouth.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
And I think, like, more people should get punched in
the mouth.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
I agree. We had this exact conversation yesterday. Like, it's
the phones, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh, bro, there's literally people downstairs as you're walking right
now asking you for a selfie that an hour ago
left a negative comment.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Like, they're your biggest fans. It's Stan, bro. It's all Eminem, bro.
It's always been Eminem.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
It's always been Eminem.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Wait, so, Garrett, how old is too old? Because, like,
you do the thing. Death, bro.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
No, bro.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I saw some of the guys come up to you
and said, you're like, man, you're young, bro.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
How old are you? And he's like, I'm 47. And
in my head, I was like.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, bro, because you're not as smart as you think
you are.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Me?

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah, you, bro.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I didn't say I was smart.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
You just made a face.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, you did make a funny face.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
You said you were 31 and grown.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
I feel so grown.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yes, you're much more grown than when you first hit
the scene.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
I do want to say I am pretty fucking smart, bro.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
You are very smart.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
But you're saying I'm not as smart as I think
I am.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
If you think 47's a wrap, you're a fucking idiot.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Let me see. How old's Mick Jagger right now? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm more asking you.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
87?

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Because if someone told me like... Because you tell them
they're young.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
I believe it.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
You do.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
First of all... Okay, okay, wait a second. What age
are you like? Like, they're like, I'm 75.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
You're not going to be like, you're young, bro.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Look, 90s, bro. If a 96-year-old rolled up on me
right now and be like, yo, can I do it?
I'm like, bro... Like, you could.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Yo, I swear to God, I'm going to send neighbor
Susie's mother to Gary, who's 103, and I'm going to
prompt her to.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Ask him, can I still do it, Gary? And I'm
going to see what you say.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
But, bro, on real talk, if 103 Susie comes to
me and she's like, Gary, can I do it?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
And I'm like, no. Like, there's a chance she dies
the next day.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Or on the spot because you disappointed her.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, because she's like, right, that'd be a real clip.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Or even worse, proves you wrong and does it. Do
you know what I'm saying? That'd be bad.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
That'd be the worst.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Like, Keefa's on, Hazel's on her, and she got a
Tweety bird.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
But I don't understand how people, like, it's not complicated.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Like, first of all, a couple things.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
The reason I say it to this generation, looking at
all these young faces, is does anyone understand what's going
on with modern medicine?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
People are going to live for fucking.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
But are we even sure Brian Johnson's age is going
to leave to 200? Have you seen that guy lately, dude?
I don't know if he's going to make it to 46, bro.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oh, guys, come on.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
By the way— Guys, that's my guy.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
He's melting away.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
He's got 40 autoimmune viruses.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
By the way— It's not his fault. By the way—
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (36:10):
He made a baby Brian Johnson in a petri dish.
He's going to regrow his own organs. Listen to me.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I don't think anyone's lost on this. Let's just use
a little bit of common sense. 60 and 70 year
olds today versus what 60 and 70 year olds looked
like 30 years ago is not even fucking recognizable.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
There's a picture of me and Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
It was what 30 year olds look like now and
what 30 year olds look like then.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Crazy photo.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yes, bro. I get all that. Look at the fucking
Golden Girls. Those ladies were supposed to be in their 60s.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
They look like 290.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
You know, like the world has fucking changed. And I'm
saying shit's going to keep going. Like you at 80,
you're going to have like a robotic fucking arm.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You're going to be a maniac.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right? That's why you're all hot.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Oh, I'm going to extend my telomeres.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
You're going to look like a fucking Power Ranger.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Gary, Gary, here's what I realized. My main goal is
just to outlive the haters.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
You want them to die.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I'd prefer they die first. I get it.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
Because when someone passes away, people, if they don't like you,
are going to shit on you.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
I saw you speaking at a funeral recently. Oh, God. Okay,
so it wasn't a funeral. It was a celebration.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
That's what he wanted.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Dude, if you knew Oliver... You would understand.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I know Oliver.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
He would want.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Us to fucking flame him post-mortem.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
And I knew that. All of his friends knew that.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
His family knew it.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
They were pumped.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
We all talked about it.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
I know.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
We're going to shit on Oliver.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
And we all did. My two first jokes were brutal.
I took one out from his thing. Yeah, then I
added it. Yeah, a bad one. I said, no, no, no,
that one's not going to work. I did, I did.
It was about Oliver's impact on the planet.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Punchline being, for the people that are listening right now, Like,
it is asinine to decide you don't have time to
have a better day. It is fucking idiotic, whether you're 60, 70, 80,
or 90, to sit on your fucking couch and be like,
I'm 68 years old, my life's over, I fucked it up,
it's over, this fucking sucks. The fuck are you supposed

(38:14):
to do with that? The fuck do you think, how
do you think they show up the next day? Great.
You guys think I think that people, like, you think
it's silly? Knock yourself out. I know unlimited people in
their fucking 70s and 80s building fucking empires.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
And so do you.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
I do.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
So now what?

Speaker 3 (38:33):
And I admire them. I admire their energy and how
they're still doing. I'm tired, Gary. I'm tired, bro.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
You're not tired, bro.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
You gotta help me.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
You're not tired.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Exhausted.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
You're drinking Prime.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
How do you feel now? Hold on.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
And.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I'm wired.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
You're from tired to wired. I'm absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
All right, Gary, Gary, real quick.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Collectibles.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yes. Massive collector. Got me into Pokemon.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Literally forever grateful.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I'm not one of those people who forgets.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I know.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm so fucking grateful.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
You're very nice.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
You kick-started this Pokemon journey. All it took was you
lighting a flame. Market is hot right now. It's hotter
than it's ever been. Yes. Are new collectors or, yeah,
are new collectors.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
And investors going to get caught?

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Are they going to be surprised when the market does
what it does and fluctuates?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
But I think, again, collectibles is red hot and is
no longer. nerdy, it's becoming cool, which is a fucking
brain twist. You know, like, cool kids like you, 40
years ago, were not talking about fucking nerd culture.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Me?

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
The 30, no, no, you were, first of all, you
were one 30 years ago.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Second of all, you know, I'm talking about in culture.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
You're the new guy. In culture, 30 years ago, nobody
that was cool the way you're cool today would ever
talk about your culture, right?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
I see what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
So that's a huge cross, that's a very big deal
going forward of why it's gonna be big. But when
you double click, so collectibles will continue to grow and
more things will become collectibles, video games, different stuff, like.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
It will happen.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Individual things will go up and down. Right? Tyler's investing
into Harry Potter and one of the things he's betting
on is that HBO Max's thing that's coming out on
Harry Potter is gonna crush.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
But maybe it isn't good.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Maybe a lot of people don't watch it and then
maybe the people like Tyler that are speculating on Potter
right now, it'll go down because it didn't go hot.
But maybe in six years, Potter will have a new movie,
everybody's crazy about it and it will go up. So
in the micro, I mean, Pokemon's ripping.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Ripping.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Like you always ask how much more, how much more?

Speaker 2 (40:43):
More, but individual things will ebb and.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Flow, right?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Like cards, like there's a lot of categories that are
primed to do well.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
I think comics. Vintage comics, not my new shit. Vintage comics,
primed to do well, because they haven't exploded as much. Coins,
if you watch What Not, you guys are doing, like,
live shopping, you could see coins, which has always been, like,
if you go to the coin show in Pittsburgh in
a couple weeks, it's all 90-year-old, real 90-year-olds walking around.

(41:11):
But just, I went to this show in 2017 in Cleveland.
This is a fact, what I'm about to tell you.
There was less than 100 people under 25.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
The Nationals.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
In 2017.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
No fucking way.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Like a Knights at Columbia.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Remember AJ?

Speaker 2 (41:25):
My brother's behind the scene.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I called him.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I'm like, there's nine people under 30.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Oh my God, that's insane.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
So think about that, right?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
So I think in the macro, collectibles are going to
go crazy and will continue because I think it's joining
music and sports and fashion.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
As a cultural thing. But individually, is somebody right.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Now as we're sitting here downstairs going to spend $ 50, 000
on something that in 12 months will be $ 30, 000?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
So individually, there's vulnerability.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
In the macro, it's a very big market.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
How long do you think it's going to be before
pogs come around? As a pog collector myself.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Bro, bro.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Well, slammers especially, dude. Shout out to anybody with a
hot slammer out there.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
While we're doing it, I am ready to bring Beyblades back.
If anyone knows Beyblades.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, bro, it's all of that.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Let's rip, bro.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yeah, bro. Let's rip that shit. Bro, everything.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
The reason everyone's yelling different things, Beanie Babies, Silly Bands.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
All of it.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Legos are hot.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Legos are hot. Legos is a bad one.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
You're out. Can we take him out of here?

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Legos have never been bad.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
The reality is that everything ebbs and flows. Everything cycles.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
The reason everyone just threw out the things is because
nostalgia is... And the memory of your childhood is so
fucking ingrained. That when I say Care Bears or Max
Hedrum or.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Alf or the Smurf. Kirby Pocket.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
You love Kirby. We love Kirby Pocket.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
That 91 World Series. He's got his rookie card. I
had the Kirby Pocket rookie.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah, bro.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
It was important.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
I remember at one point it was up to like
63 bucks, dude. And I had that thing in a
full screw.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
That was your screw. Remember those screw on protectors? That
was your future.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
It was supposed to be. My mom was always concerned.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
She's like, you know, you don't hide that card. Your
dad's going to steal it. So we always had to
hide the Kirby Pocket Rookie so my dad didn't take it.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
I actually bullish pogs having a cycle.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
It's cycles. It's cycles.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
And actually one of the biggest things I try to
do at a show like this when things are hot
is I try to zig when everyone's zagging. I'm trying
to think like what could actually be hot in three
years that no one's fucking buying downstairs. I think You know,
I'm going to get very specific. I think Panini inserts
from the early Panini stuff, now the Tops has the
license for a long time. Not like Kaboom, which is like,

(43:41):
you know, are you going to have a Kaboom in WWE?
That would be huge. Bro, if you have a fucking
Logan Kaboom.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
I'll go crazy. I'll tell you this much.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
I'm trying to be very specific about what I look
like on trading cards.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Because I care so much about the. Who are you telling?

Speaker 2 (43:59):
When I called you.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I know, I know, I know. I've done so much
for you. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
And asked you to be in this set in the
Content Condors insert.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
I know. You said no. He resents me for it.
You know who said yes? Are you fucking serious?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
You know who said yes, Mike?

Speaker 1 (44:11):
My brother, my brother. Jake Paul is in this product.
One of the great Pauls of all time. Who I
did less for, even though I did invest and coach
in Team 9 or 10 or whatever the fuck you mean.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Yeah, how'd that work out for you? Jake's pretty liberal
with his name and likeness.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Just to make you feel less bad, I'm doing that
right now with the WWE.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I'm like, no.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Like, nah, nah. I just care so much. I'm so scared.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
This is my number one passion in my life. I
get it. Collectibles.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
I take no offense. Please don't resent me.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
No, no resentment. Just I will remember it and I
will use it. I will use it when I need it.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
I think you'll be caught. Oh, dude. I put it
like this.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
I owe you not just one. I owe you two
big favors. Yeah, I would say if I think about
all the years, like five.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Bro, cash me and I'm ready. I'm ready for the cash.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
You know when I throw up the five in all
my photos?

Speaker 3 (45:09):
I always do that.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, that's the amount of favor. That was for you.
I was always doing that for you.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Okay, bro, but I'm ready. You're not cashing me. You're
not asking for anything.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I tend not to.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Bro, ask me for something.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
My great goal is that nothing right now.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
I shook your son's hand today. He didn't give a fuck, bro.
He didn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
He was like, yeah, whatever.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah, bro, his dad's Gary V.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Like, what do you want from him? Fuck, you think
he's going to talk about Logan Paul?

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Fuck, he's smart, bro. You need to be a wrestler, bro.
You don't talk shit to me.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Look, you know this.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
I'm going to manage you at some point, and we'll
get it done. I've always liked Bobby the Brain Heenan.
I'll have my chapter. Bro, bro.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
It's been written.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Cash in a favor. I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
We'll clip this in seven years when I hit fucking
Tom Brady with a steel chair.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Yeah, hell yeah. For payback.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
For payback.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Fuck yeah. You get his back, I'll get his front.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (45:51):

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Back to the show. As we said, shit is hot
right now.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
How is VFriends going to break through?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Slowly. You know, what's cool about me is, like, the
shit I put out online is, like, how I actually live. Like,
I'm big on patience. Like, I think it takes time. Like,
VFriends will blow out when these comics get optioned for
film and television. And God willing, if one of them hits,
then the whole calculus of the IP changes.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
Have you considered making hybrids of your animals?

Speaker 3 (47:16):
And putting it on the blockchain.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I'm very aware. I know exactly what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Hey, brother, don't do that. Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
You remember I passed.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
I understand.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
I remember. Holy shit. Yes, yes, yes. You should have
told me to pass too. Didn't pass on fucking Wolf Game.
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
I have massive wolf game.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I have a huge pile.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
You have how much wool?

Speaker 1 (47:37):
I have. You have how much damn wool?

Speaker 3 (47:39):
No, wool. You have how much wool I have? Let's
talk about NFTs for a sec. I do want to
talk about NFTs.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
Please.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Because, man, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Why I still really believe in the idea of a
valuable digital asset.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I'm aware that 98% of the world thinks that it
was a scam and a fad, including everybody probably behind
the camera.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
But math doesn't lie.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
If every single person that's in this podcast right now
goes to OpenSea, clicks collections, and looks at the sheer
volume of NFTs being sold every day, they would shit
their fucking pants today.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
What kind of volume?

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars a day. What, still?

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Yes, and everyone on Earth.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Think about it. that volume think about that volume when
literally every person on earth walking thinks it was a
fad a scam a loss so it did the blockchain
digital collectible thing will be massive i am thrilled to
clip this in nine years and be like.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
It's a collectible bro i agree it's a collect i
agree it's a shame.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
But but if you remember when i was making the
videos about nfts everybody likes to conveniently forget all the
videos I made that said 99% of these are going
to zero.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Yeah, of course. Panini blockchain did 750 grand in the
last 24 hours. Panini blockchain.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
So did 750, just Panini blockchain. Panini blockchain did 750,000.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
In the last 24 hours. People watching and listening to
this podcast don't think that $ 750, 000 worth of all NFTs
have been sold in the last six months. Yeah. Yeah.
but this is what you do when you zig and zag.
It's not because I want, I own zero panini, NFTs
on the record. I'm saying this not because I want

(49:24):
it to work out. This is not my hopes and
dreams or my feelings. This is called fucking math. Go
there and look and tell me if people are buying
Bored Ape and VFriends and Pudgy Penguins, right? Or tell
me if they're not. And you know what's awesome about
the blockchain? Unlike what goes on with physical cards, when
people make, people like to claim like, oh, Logan had

(49:45):
his friend buy it or this and that, all this.
The blockchain's fucking transparent. So look, what do I think?
I think I've always compared NFTs to Web 1.0. When internet,
for all the kids in here, When internet stocks came
out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars, even
if the company did zero revenue. Pets.com, and all those

(50:08):
stocks were on the fucking stock exchange, NASDAQ and New
York Stock Exchange, and they were $ 150 a share, and
then April 2000, all of it went to fucking zero.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Literally zero.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Out of business, three cents a share from $ 500 a share.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Except, you know who was in that mess? Amazon.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
eBay. PayPal, they went from $ 150 a share to $ 3
because everything fell along with it. But the three or
four or seven or 14 companies that were legit companies
of the internet era went on to become some of
the biggest companies in the world. There will be three
to four to seven projects from that 2021 era that

(50:47):
in 20 years will be the Jackson Pollocks and the
Andy Warhols, all the contemporary art from the 60s that
went to zero. except Basquiat sells for hundreds of millions.
So what everyone got confused with is they were like NFTs.
That'd be like saying all trading cards are worth a
million dollars.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Most are worth nothing.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Individual NFTs in 20 years will be worth something. The
question is, are you good enough to pick the winners?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
That's hard.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Yeah, that's the taste.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Yeah, Punks is guaranteed.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
It's the only.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
One that is guaranteed because it's based on history. Every
other one, B-Friends, Penguins, you know, Azuki, Board Ape, all
the other ones need the operator to build it. I
can tell you if as long as God keeps me alive,
B-Friends will win because I'm a fucking gangster.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
I'm an operator. I'm good at what I do. The end.

Speaker 6 (51:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Yeah, you're good. I think I could say the same
about originals. I feel so good about that Polaroid project
that you're in, actually. Number five. The floor, I think
it's probably 7 to 10 ETH. Yeah, it's solid. But
it's funny.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
Because it seems inevitable to me. The idea of a
digital valuable asset.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
By the way, back to what Tyler just said.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
If Panini keeps cooking, the rest of the IPs down
there will start getting involved. And there's eventually a day
where the stink of NFTs.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Will go away.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
The stink of.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
The newspapers around the country put the web was a fad.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Are you serious, Gary?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yes, bro.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
It was that much carnage.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Oh my God.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
The internet itself was a fad.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Yeah, that was a huge, that was like the main story.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
For a little while.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
And then in 2005, Web 2.0 came. That's where me
and AJ Cook, that's when the Flickers and the Deliciouses
pre-cursed the Facebooks and the Twitters and the whole world changed.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
That's insane.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
It is so cool to.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Yes, I passed on Uber twice and missed out on
$ 500 million.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
There you go. There's the story.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Thanks a lot, Jeff.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Yeah, my brother literally took the first Uber in Manhattan.
The fucking female hangs in my office.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Damn, Gary.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Bro, we found you, bro. Yeah. We found you.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Like, you know it.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
You were in.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
You were there. when we were like, and Snapchat and
all this, you were there.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
It's so nice to have these conversations with you because
you've seen the cycles and it's so funny because I
was doing Pokemon in.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
2020 and then I saw the dip in 22, 23,
24 and I was like, okay.

Speaker 5 (53:23):
But I still love Pokemon, so this shit don't matter,
but like, the market's not as good as it was,
and then it popped, and now I'm seeing like, oh,
this is what a cycle is.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Let's also teach people something. The reason it was okay
for you is because of all your hard work, you
were able to afford.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
It going down, and you didn't have to sell.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Well said.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
I wanted to say this out loud to everybody who's
gonna get into collectibles, or... or cryptocurrency or real estate
or stocks. You must play with money. You can afford
to lose because then when there's a dip, you're not
forced to sell and you can catch it on the
next thing. Pokemon worked out for you because you were
at a point of your career where you were making

(54:00):
money elsewhere and you could sit. There's a lot of
kids downstairs right now that have their entire net worth
in the cards that they're walking around in a case.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
And if the market goes down 30, 40%, they'll get
scared and they'll sell everything and they'll sell some massive
Mahomes and massive other cards that will then go up
again one day and they'll regret it. So one of
the things that people have to be taught is, is
how to manage their dollars, how to understand the good
times are not always rolling. And this is good financial,
simplistic advice. And that is the thing that I hope

(54:32):
people learn because people overextend themselves when they think it's
easy money.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Well, and they don't keep ammo.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
And they don't keep ammo on the sidelines for when
the market does drop.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Because you don't want to just be able to hold.
You want to be able to.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Buy a shitload of that blood. In fact, let's just
do a PSA that I hope helps everyone. Everyone listening
that is like deep right now into collectibles, Pokemon, cards,
what have you. Sell one or two things that you're
not completely attached to that has a lot of value.
And take those dollars and just put them on the
side so you can weather the storm to keep the

(55:06):
shit that you fucking love.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
Put in like high interest savings and get 4% on
it until you're ready.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Do what my dad does. Bury it in the backyard
Russian style. Like just straight gangster. Put the cash in
the jar.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
Under the mattress.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
No, no, bro. That's not enough for Russians. They bury
that shit in the back. All the Russians, please hit up. Everybody,
every Russian over 45, go on Twitter right now and
tell all these Americans the truth. They buried the fucking
cash in the backyard. In a fucking jar. Because that's
in the Soviet Union, bro. They could take your shit.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
A glass jar.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
By the way, PSA for everyone who loves socialism. Eventually
they're going to take your shit too. They're going to
take your shit too.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
They'll take Logan's first.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
And that will make you feel good. And then you're
going to wake up and they're going to take your
shit too.

Speaker 8 (55:49):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
You know we're building Rip It. This is the last
thing I want to ask you. You know we're building
Rip It.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yes, you called me.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Yep, yep. I called you and asked you. Well, I
asked you about, I think, what the next phase is.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
I liked where you were going.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Which I think could be big, and I'll call you again.
Don't pass on it unless you, yeah. But you invested
in one of our competitors, which is cool to say
because now we're in this space. What is your general
opinion on repacks and live shopping and entertainment shopping?

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Repacks, I've done so little actual homework on. I think
I'm aware of what it is. Of course, I'm in
the game, but I don't have a hot take on that.
Live shopping, I've been very vocal. I would say over
50 people have come to the VFriends booth here and
thanked me for changing their life again on just live shopping.
People have come up to me and said, literally, I
heard you six months ago. Here's my whatnot numbers showing

(56:40):
me like three million, like changed their lives.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Here's the cool part. When we met each other, I
was already nine. Vine was what? 14, 15, 16?

Speaker 3 (56:51):
2013. 13.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
I was already eight years into publicly talking about social media.

Speaker 8 (56:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
And the people that have followed me for a long
time thought in 2013, we're like, oh, Vine, like I'm
already too late to do it. And that was your
day one.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I'm telling everyone who's watching right now, live shopping has
not even begun. It has not begun. And not because
I wanted to, let's talk numbers. In China, live shopping
this year will do over one trillion.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Dollars in sales.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
One trillion dollars in product.

Speaker 5 (57:29):
And here's what's confusing people.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
For the last 50 years of technology, the West has
brought things to the East. We would innovate in America
and bring it to the world. Over the last 10 years,
we've seen China now lead and bring things to the world.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
ByteDance, TikTok changed social.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Yeah, COVID.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Right?

Speaker 2 (57:49):
So, are you going to conspiracy theories?

Speaker 3 (57:51):
Fauci.

Speaker 6 (57:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Fauci's why I'm not making money. You fucking bitches. Shut
the fuck up. K-pop, like if you ever, if you
could have, like I would have never predicted 15 year
old blonde girls in Iowa loving Asian dudes with fucking
weird hair.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Like you could never predict that.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
You could have never predicted that.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
So Asia's influence is coming, Latin America, you know, culture's
coming with music, Bad Bunny, all that, J Balvin, like
you could see the world melting, pot is getting bigger
because of the way the world is structured around social.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
But anyone watching right.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Now who's like, here's an example, as little as what
I'm about to say, somebody watching who could use an
extra thousand bucks, literally go on TikTok Live or on whatnot.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
And literally, literally sell.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
$ 1, 000 worth of shit laying in your fucking basement. You
could literally go live and be like, this shoe, 20.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Bucks, and people will buy it.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
I don't know if you know this, people are degenerates
when it comes to shopping. People just buy shit because
they're fucking, it's just human, it's fucking human. So live
shopping has not even started and every person listening can
fucking change the course of their lives by becoming a
live shopper shopping host and the way that you grab

(59:12):
the bull by the horn on Vine and it fundamentally,
do you know how different your life would have been
if you were 40 years earlier?

Speaker 2 (59:20):
There was no outlet.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
You would have been in fucking Ohio fucking doing Ohio shit.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
So weird. So weird to think about.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Everybody who's listening right now, listen, a lot of people
were not meant to be, you know, content creators because
they're not good enough. But some of those people are
meant to be the best live sellers in the world. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Because they're salespeople.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Yep. Right, Lou, we had old Lou up here earlier.
No shot would have been a good content creator, could
crush as a live selling host.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
He was a salesman, he's a salesman.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
And when he's passionate about something, he really gets going
and he would crush. But he was never gonna be
you as a content creator, but he could be a
profoundly good live, he's building this alcohol brand, he should quit?
I know you think it's going to be big. Quit
and just live sell.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
And he represents tens of millions of people listening right now.
So I'm obsessed live shopping.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Here's why.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
There's so many people's lives that are going to be
changed by it. This way social media changed people's lives.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Dude, dude, you said you were going to give us
30 minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
You gave us a fucking hour. Wait, what? You were
going to give us 30 minutes?

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
I asked yesterday. I said, how long do you want
to do?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I was going to give him 30 minutes. When I
found out you were here, bro, I am.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
I am willing to be here as long as you want. Mike,
I have a lot of love for you. As you know, again,
you know this, right? Like, we haven't really gotten a real, right?
But you know this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Every time, like, randomly at a Super Bowl thing, like,
keep it up.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
With the bird.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Like, I cheer for you, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
No, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
The first time I met you was at a Jets
game with Sean Nelson from Love Sack.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Oh, is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
And you were in the front row, and we were
in row two, and I met you. And I wanted
to say this earlier in the show. When people say
you are... kind and giving of your time to everyone.
You were like that the first day I fucking met
you in like 2014 or 15. You asked, how did
I get involved with Love Sack?

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
How did I get the job? Why did I know Sean? Like, dude,
Gary really is who he says he is and is
an awesome fucking person. Thanks, you're the man. Gary Vee,
ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Thank you, everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Thank you.
