Can I ask a question about the Matt Damon thing? Yes, please. When he says a line and you go, oh, we couldn't afford the rights, and he throws it, was that him? What was that? He throws the bacon.

I love when Akash almost looks away. Akash can't watch these videos, bro. Yeah. But you sort of tuck your head, but keep it looking in the right direction.

Mark threw up all over my bathroom in college once and we just left the door closed for three days until he came back and cleaned it. It was so fucking bad. We like duct taped the door shut. Yeah, that was bad. And I was like, Mark, you got to come back. We're not. The house was condemned, I think. It was awful.

Literally, we came in for the next three weeks and the windows in the entire house were just open. It was awful. So. Yeah, my bad. I would notice that. I think your girl would notice that too. It was bright pink. Do you remember?

2.5 million federal employees.

It's not a punishment probation. It's a probationary hiring period.

No, I just also think the fear is that these are people that are very close to Trump. Even if they're a small group, Steve Bannon was his former chief strategist.

He's at the largest political activist group for conservatives. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. They're in position. Even if they're not within the cabinet, they're within pretty high positions within this. I think that's the fear people are having. Yeah. And you normalize that shit.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was also when corporate greed was at, no, I don't want to say it was at a low, but it was lower.

Yeah.

corporate buyouts happen a big company comes in buys a small like mom tops thing that's very popular they figure out how they can cut costs they fire certain people they put different chemicals or make the product worse in a certain way but small enough that it's not that noticeable the product is then cheaper to produce and the company can go look what we did we year over year we're 50 better 20 better quarter over quarter we're increasing profits yeah yeah

But not everything. Oh, sorry. This is just happening right now. There's a lot of CEOs that are basically like doing the Rockefeller thing where they create a nonprofit foundation. And that nonprofit foundation is actually not funding. It's sort of like a money laundering place.

And some of them do great. Some of them really do great. And some people have done great. Rockefeller did great at the end. Bill Gates has stopped hookworm, guinea worm, something. There's a lot of them that have done great, but there are some that are using it sort of as a... I'm sure there are plenty that do good things, but I wonder if it... And not everything is money.

Yeah, you're live. You're live.

Shoes off, but he's got long pants. Look if he's standing on his feet.

65.

David, I know you're listening to this shit. Get in here so I can measure you.

Oh, where's Dove? Dove, we need you right now.

And then if you're gonna talk, talk.

Medicine is going down!

Can I ask Miles two questions? Yeah, please. Miles, your memory's bad. I'm like a lawyer. That's not really a question, right?

I would say at times it can be. Your memory's bad, okay. And you would say my memory's phenomenal. Yeah. Okay. I wanted to clarify that before.

i tried to black it out actually i tried not to okay so all right so your memory's bad you your memory's phenomenal okay okay so what do you think exactly is going down so what happened was we were at dinner for miles's birthday yeah with shifty it was me shifty and miles and i was saying like oh shit i've had like a phenomenal streak of having a new year's kiss for the last seven years yeah can i ask one question yeah what's up uh david on new year's eve

All right, go, go, go. So I'm like, all right, my streak's at risk because the woman I was speaking to at the time was out of town. So I'm like, Miles, if I see you around New Year's, I'm going to go after it. As a joke or serious? It was kind of as a joke.

so i'm out in east village and i'm texting miles like hey i'm at this party it's kind of ass so after the ball drops i'm gonna come to you show me your location i go to the bar miles is at the back table with him his girl and then a gay couple I walk in and Miles gets up and meets me halfway. Oh, no. So he initiated this peck.

It was on the way to the L, so I'm like, I'll stop by. Yeah, you're on the way. Miles went out of his way and met me in the middle of the bar.

Hold on. Okay, so he walks up. He grabs you by the waist. Yeah, yeah. And then we pecked. Miles leaned. Okay, yeah, yeah.

I was like this. You went straight. No, but not even straight. I kind of like tucked my chin in. And then Miles went.

It's just like, who else have you kissed besides me?

He met me at the bar. Why would I initiate it if he's already walking towards me?

What's the number? What's the number? There's no number. What are you doing?

Two grand.

Two grand. What the fuck?

There's a poor gay couple in this.

Okay.

He's a great kisser. You got to give him that.

Yeah.

Although you could count us doing an episode with him.

That's our work. And his work is promoting.

It's a stretch.

You know, it never made any sense to me because it's like, is he God of just earth? You know, is God also in charge of the moon? Is he in charge of the entire universe?

So Jesus is Earth's delegate.

I mean, what if an alien's coming, one of them's wearing a cross? We're fucked.

Yeah, they like that over there. Crucify him.

Crucify him. You can say it whenever you want. I do a lot.

Well, that's how you should put down Wendy. Crucify her. Are you sure we can't just give her the shot?

I remember we had the concept of a sketch that we never wrote that was called Jeffrey Dahmer, time traveling police officer. Yeah. And then he goes to Rome and he's like, this is great. This is where I belong.

We gotta start talking to fucking Odin again. Well, the Roman gods were imposters. They were all fucking, the Greek gods changed their names.

That was the problem. Yeah, bad economy. They got kicked out of the EU.

Yeah. I imagine. It sounded fun in a way. Well, they had Navy battles with crocodiles. It was crazy.

Yeah, we were there.

Good memory, Eddie. What the fuck?

No, it's just random shit gets put in there. It's literally sitting on a weed nug. That one thought. 72 AD!

Because that's all you need. That's the collateral. I heard St. Francis of Assisi gave his bones to the dogs because he liked animals.

Sure, yeah, I'll pick you.

Also, it was told to each other. Like, it was told, like, person to person. And did you hear the officer cut her tits off? Oh, great.

Yeah, where are you from?

Now be careful of them goals. They'll steal your fries if you're not paying attention.

That's the whole point. That's why they didn't eat her, because she was bland. They put a little pepper on her, a little salt, some garlic. Yeah, call me again when she's Cumin Dina.

That's right, man. St. Jerome. He loved playing with skulls. He did. Who's that? Saint Jerome. The actual Saint Jerome? Yeah, the actual Saint Jerome. He's known for loving skulls? Yeah, well, the only picture I saw of him, he's holding a skull and looking at it like it's Hamlet.

Big rest stops that you'd go and buy shit at. Maybe that's what you need to do to get Mother Teresa's bones. Put some money on the table. I don't think you can afford Mother Teresa, but we can probably get you some other little guy.

She's not the most recent saint. She is. There was that kid who just became a saint recently.

Yeah, but there was a 17-year-old kid who just died and became a saint.

One day I'll bury you.

I don't think you do.

I think they just have to like you.

St. Edward bought his way in. Exactly. That was a miracle.

These are not real miracles. He was a sissy, huh?

Of course, yeah. For sure. But they also, they weren't trying to push their religion on anybody.

Yeah.

Cool. Yeah. And I'm St. Popo, they said, because I wanted to pick the dumbest name in the St. Popo.

Leisure suit Lawrence.

I would have assumed the patron saint of comedians would have been Jewish.

No, I used to always tell them that it doesn't make any sense. And then when I left Catholic school, because I hated Catholic school, one day I told my parents that if they sent me back to Catholic school, I was going to fail on purpose.

Someone throw some water on Charlie.

Okay. Yeah, all the women in my family have Saint Christopher statues or like medals in their car to protect them when they're traveling.

Yeah, then I told my Jewish father, I was like, I want to go to free school. And then I was able to go to that school again. They sent me to CCD to finish out my learnings. Sure.

Yeah, but you've got to go on Sunday or after school to learn about Catholicism more. But the thing is, I went to Catholic school, so I knew more than the fucking teachers did. And so I'm just sitting there playing on my ass. And every time they're like, Ed, oh, you seem to know a lot. And I'm like, ask me something. Ask me something about Jesus Christ. You know, I fucking got your ass, man.

It's fake. Now, your name is for progress. Have you thought about shoving things in people's asses?

Not because they didn't call him Jesus. It's also, you know, Jesus is also Jesus.

It's just a banana.

Fuck yeah. So killing you didn't work. Have you ever thought about getting fucked by two hot chicks? No, I actually haven't.

He was Israeli.

What an idiot.

Yeah, right? English is a funny little language. It really is. You know, because it's D-nutted. Yeah. When they take your balls off. D-nuts. See, we're having fun with English right now.

You know, dogs got a good sense of direction. You've seen Benji. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Homeward bound. For the traveler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Homeward bound.

White fang. You know, they're always traveling.

Oh, yeah. He was traveling straight to his death.

It's thick!

Yeah.

Yeah. Mark Anthony. Yeah.

We don't see any Eddies. No, but we came around, and once we got to Europe, Eddies started popping up.

And Henry.

And when Jesus was flogged and he didn't bleed, that was the first miracle whip. Something's wrong with this whip. What's wrong with this damn whip?

I mean, that sounds nice. Yeah.

We do this thing now where she sits on my lap when I shit. Married life.

I'm the chicken.

Yeah, can you sneak one through?

Again, he's not doing shit. God didn't do anything. That wasn't in the giving tree. I'll tell you that much. Oh yeah, you never saw the nailing stump? I love that book. I give and I give and I give.

What's weird is if you're a good guy and you just help out everyone and then you die of cancer, no one gives a shit. No one gives a shit. You have to get your fucking guts turned into jump ropes in order for people to fucking give a fuck.

Yeah, these priests just die of natural causes. We should be stringing them up.

Thank you.

So she's hideous. Well, she's alt. She's alt.

It seems strange.

Yes, I'd like to see my sex worker better.

I love how you used your mother.

I'm sorry. It was right there.

Yeah, shit, fuck, blood. Coming out of your ass. My hemorrhage is so bad, I had to rename my toilet to Sandy Hook. You like that?

We're getting there. How many saints can we talk about without ripping off breasts?

Ooh, Lucy is brat. You would have to pre-address that, you know, obviously.

Where is the postman?

Please do not give me marbles to hold. No, it's hard. They slip through.

Hermits were the first people that realized what assholes were. Yeah, the hermits. They stayed away.

Me want milk. Where's my daddy? Why isn't he here?

Jesus, we came here all the way from the afterlife.

And it was a Nuva ring.

Yeah, seems nice.

Yeah, and you said the one where the lady was hung over the flaming shit was real bad, but the other one seemed worse to me where they tied the rock to her legs and that just stretched out her bones.

Oh, wow. Thanks, Joan. Does she also shoot milk?

She did it out of her head.

Yeah. If her head was still attached, what if it came out of her nose? Someone said something funny. That's all I know.

You haven't seen Evangelion yet?

Oh, well. I guess that's good. Yeah. She literally saved the earth from Satan three times.

Yeah, and St. Barbara also lights all the explosions with cigarettes. Yeah, I do. Yeah, give me a carton of Mentos.

Well, you want me to talk about when my dad hit me? Honestly, I'm already bored.

That's fine as hell. But he did behead her before he blew up. Very much so, yeah.

Oh, wow. Slip and falls.

Oh, not the children. Not the children, no. They're also miners.

It sounds like a blast. And they scream the word barboco.

Because you salt things to keep them good for a very long period of time. Yeah, but I wonder if there's different levels of quality of salt. I think so.

I don't know this. There's kosher salt. That's what I'm asking the audience.

Oh, I guess not. I don't know. I would have no idea. They have the born-on date. I know that for beers. You know, that was a big one for a while in the early 2000s. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, and you wanted a fresh one. Yeah, you didn't want it because the old ones were skunky.

You got successful. But I'm not buying better beer.

Yes, you are. Well, I guess I... Modelo's. Yeah.

Yeah, and you can't take them in and out of the fridge.

I know.

They were like the Scientologists of the day.

Yeah, because everyone's like, what the fuck are you talking about? No, there's 20 guns. You're a fucking idiot. Yeah.

Yeah, the Cimmerillion, the thesaurus.

That expands the dictionary, right? We've learned nothing. We've learned nothing.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I've been lying to the church ever since I started going. Yeah. Yeah, they used to make me confess like twice a week, and I'm like, I didn't sin yet. Yeah. And so I just started lying about sins.

Yeah. I should probably do that.

Yeah. Well, she should have just told you. They tossed him in on Noah's Ark. Everyone knows that. Yeah, who knows? Yeah, and then they drowned him. They were too big. Yeah, they drowned all the dinosaurs when the flood came. Noah did it. See, it's so important to learn. Everyone says he's a good guy, but he fucking drowned the dinosaurs. It's all he wanted to do. He's a murderer.

December 7th. December 7th is a big one in New York. King's Theater. I can't fucking wait. Cannot wait. Yes. And then after that, we're going to be in Atlanta in January. And then Dallas in February. Nashville in March. Detroit in April on 4-18. Two days before 4-20. Not bad. And then on May 3rd, we'll be in Toronto. But next week...

Next Saturday, Henry and I are going to be with Billy Wayne Davis doing Side Stories Live at the Mateel Community Center in Humboldt, California.

I know.

I was like, there's a dab bar before the show. I was like, could it be after the show?

I'm not going to do my fifth dab ever and then get on stage.

Well, Frank's a psychopath. I've seen him drink 100 milligrams and then go on stage and do 30 minutes. He's got to be careful. I don't know what's going on with him. That's taking the joy out of him. He's literally dabbing and shit.

Happy Barborka. Yes, the Beach Boys. They know Beach Boy. There is no Beach Boys. There is no Beach Boys. There is no Beach and Party Boys. I have fun, fun, fun when they take my freedom away.

Eliminate Jewish. Oh, cut off her breasts.

Absolutely. She's laughing, laughing when she was telling people they couldn't have their food.

Yes, and he shows up.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. And merch. Yeah, merch. You got the rosary beads. Oh, dude, it's merch out the fucking eon, man.

Yeah, and also cannibalism. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Because you eat Jesus and drink his blood. That's later.

I cooked him nachos once. How was he? He was delightful. Well, I never met him, but the waitress said he was nice. And then they stole his mother.

Rock and roll.

In terms of what's achievable... in Congress and gets this process going of locking in Trump's tax cuts, most of which are going to expire at the end of the year. This is a fantastic approach to doing so because it not only marries that important concept of getting taxes done, it also begins to chip away at the federal bureaucracy, at the waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government.

Right now, there's a lot of space between where the House is at and where the Senate is. The reason they're doing this kind of obscure, arcane song and dance is because it obviates the need for a 60 vote threshold in the Senate. They can bypass the filibuster and and get a bill to the president's desk with a simple majority in both the Senate and the House.

So that gives us a lot more flexibility in a Senate, of course, that has 53 Republicans and would be really, really hard to find seven Senate Democrats that want to see Trump's policies enacted into law.

So July 27, 2022, my son Gavin was contacted by a predator through Instagram messaging. He jumped off the video game with friends to have a chat with this female or so he thought. They began to share images. And within one hour and 40 minutes, Gavin took his life. They began to demand money, giving countdowns.

But even worse than that, after my son took his life, I'd never heard of what sextortion was or had a clue of what it was. They began to extort Gavin's 16-year-old brother, a 14-year-old cousin, and then trying to extort me as well, fully aware that Gavin had taken his life.

Don't be scared. Be brave enough to go to your parents, to go to law enforcement, to report this. Because if you don't, if you feel like you can just pay them and just go away, they're going to continue to go after not only you, because it will never stop once you pay them money, they're going to continue to go after other teens and make them feel the same way that you feel right now.

Yeah, he kind of set up his Congress before he became president. So he had everybody in his favor, the majority. So he looks like a dictator, but he just happens to have everybody on his side. So he has no resistance and a real beautiful setup for what he wanted to do with his policies.

It sounds so interesting.

So it's a big loss for them to lose USAID, or is that just the tip of the iceberg? Oh, my God. Because, I mean, it seems like they're a bit on an island without them. Is that correct, or is this...

Is this something the judges want or is it something they're being told to do, though? You want to scroll to the next one?

Do you think you guys have too many political parties? Because in Congress alone, you got like 24 of them, and then that whole center block, it's what, like 50% of the Congress? And it seems like that kind of jams a lot of things up. So are they consistent with the way they vote, or do they go in whichever direction the wind's blowing?

Can you convert anybody from that center, you think? Because it seems like there's some guys that maybe could pull to your side. Here we only have two political parties, but if you've got several of them in that center block, is there any potential to recruit?

Have you ever tried to, like in a strategic way?

So is Trump just unaware of this at this time? Because this is still under Trump.

Remember this? Oh, yeah.

You've spoken to him since you got the charges against him last week?

Do you think it was weird timing how that came out shortly after?

Do you think that was your response to us being there, though, and giving them a platform to speak on that could reach millions of people?

What if all that money gets pulled? You were talking about the $12 million. There's billions here and there. What if all that money gets pulled? Because it seems like a lot of the strength they're exerting comes from that. That needs to be done immediately. And how much of it's left after USAID has been pulled away?

So question, do you think any of that money makes its way to the politicians in the Senate? This could be a question for both of you. So like senators, people in the House, could that U.S. Or their wives. Right. Anything like that. It seems like there's a lot of potential for that.

So could that be things that are motivating people that are in the center that seem to go whichever direction the wind's blowing?

There are a lot of guys that look like they have a lot more money than you'd expect them to have. We have that in our Congress. Yeah.

They wouldn't be happy if that money got pulled either because then that whole union program they have wouldn't be able to function.

66, 64.

Thank you for doing that. Brandon, what would you add to that? You know, one of the most unfortunate things about this is that it incentivizes bad behavior. So I worked at a big pharma company. I did global security there for a couple of years. And you know what most resources went into? Lobbying D.C. and trying to extend their patents.

So they had this one drug that made them a multi-billion dollar company. Every last bit of effort and energy went towards tweaking that drug a little bit so they could extend the patent. Everybody was freaked out. Number one concern is extending the patent so that they couldn't change their $100,000 drug per treatment. Per treatment? Yeah.

So this is a rare disease drug that was $100,000 per treatment. It would have been pennies in the dollar if it lost the patent. That's the problem. So they're not putting their energy towards the right things. And by the way, you know who knows this?

A white man's gotta do it.

For real.

Where is it? So I saw Newsome at number one, surprisingly. AOC number two and Pete Buttigieg three. Wow.

7.

So, look, that's the back. Right next to the... It could be tissue. Zoom in a little bit, Brandon. Can you?

The montage?

Yeah, no, I think so. Just his body language, he seemed like he really wanted to hide it. Adam, what do you think?

You want this one or the map?

No, he's going to the Middle East, not stopping by Israel.

Was ist das?

Yeah, because a lot of the times they actually say they want to impose a danger on us. But I think this reminds me a lot of what the government started doing in the 90s, when it really started cracking down on militias and cults. Like, remember Waco and Ruby Ridge? That's because it really hit a nerve with the government when groups started to get together and buy plots of land and hold weapons.

That really freaked the government out. So, I mean, this is... Kind of similar to that. They did that under a religious tense back then. So I think that you could apply the same thing to this. If they start talking about wanting to apply Sharia law, then that's a threat to free speech for some people. That has the nature of being infectious and contagious.

So I think you could say that's a danger to people if they try to implement a fundamentally different law than we have. Adam, thoughts?

Can you hear me? Yes. How are you? Good. So my question is, in general, what advice do you have for someone trying to write a book?

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

We all have small penises.

I had this terrible blonde wig that started off with Ivanka.

Requests started rolling in from there and I just kind of leaned into it and kept going with it.

I definitely focus on what I would consider to be like the sensitive subjects, like race-based topics, feeling inadequate to black men and wanting that maybe rubbed in their face a little bit. Gay temptation. The fact that a lot of them have issues with, like, women of power.

Oh. That's what I think you need. Like a fanny pack?

You're just trying to mind your own straight business, and these temptations are everywhere. You were once entitled to a wife. Yeah. And now, all of these femmes running around, deciding not to marry white incel men, it's crap. They need wives and mommies. Say thank you, Daddy.

I mean, their penises are in their hands. I guess it would be awesome if you could take a step back and think to yourself, like, hmm, are my thoughts and opinions obnoxious and hateful? Well, I mean, you're dealing with shame. So maybe you have changed them, but they're ashamed. They're just not going to tell me. Exactly. Quietly shamed.

Hey, Glenn. How are you doing?

I'm good. First time caller. First time getting through. Good. Thank you. So you just touched on it. I definitely want to hear Trump speak. talk about the bill that was just proposed that every Democrat voted no on. I have a nine-year-old daughter who plays soccer.

And the last thing I want is for, you know, the puberty-age boys to start integrating into... I mean, what could possibly go wrong, Brandon?

They could just run her over, kick her in the face, which could happen with girls.

Hey guys, my name's Brandon, and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I live about 40 minutes away from where you guys shot Hot Rod, and I was in high school when you guys were on the show, so I can definitely confirm that it was an golden era.

Our family builds and collects movie cars, and we actually own the original screen-used Mirth Mobile from the first Wayne's World, and I'm right in the middle of building a replica of Rod's bike from Hot Rod, the Tomos A35. Wow.

My question is, do you have anything from Hot Rod or from the digital shorts, any props or costumes that you just hold on to or something that was important that you just felt like you needed to take home and maybe display? I love props. One of my favorite things. Love the podcast. I'm a card carrying Quaid Army member and your sense of humor really shaped my sense of humor. So thank you for that.

Love you guys.

The key to getting rich isn't about working past midnight every day to stay ahead of the competition or having a three-hour morning routine. It's actually about forming micro habits, tiny habits that compound over time and make getting rich easy. So I'm going to share with you the 18 tiny habits to help me get rich and how you can apply them in your life.

And that was the business that made me a multimillionaire. What I had was clarity and focus. See, a goal properly set is half complete. Most people just don't write it down. Without a deadline, that goal is just a dream. So I use this thing called the rule of 300 to help me hit my goals. It's all about having a 100% clarity, 100% belief, 100% of the time. If you do that, you'll hit your goal.

Which brings us to tiny habit number four, review your goals daily. Every day I use triggers. When I sit at my chair in the morning, when I'm doing my morning routine or I get in my car or I come to my desk at my office, to remind me to review my goals that are on my phone. So it's literally pinned at the top of my notes file and they're my 12 power goals for the year.

Most people set goals and don't review until the end of the year and they realize either hit them or didn't hit them. It's like business plans. They usually write them and then stuff them in a drawer. I review my goals three times a day. The way I make it easy on myself is I just connect it to a trigger.

It literally activates this thing called your reticular activating system to help you scan the world for opportunities to make that a reality. It's like when you're thinking of buying a new car, let's say a red Volkswagen, and for the longest time you didn't see any other red Volkswagens, all of a sudden you can't stop seeing them all over the place. Why?

Your brain is on the search of red Volkswagen so you'll see them all over the road. Which brings us to tiny habit number five, automate your savings. My philosophy is very simple. I want to set it and forget it. I want to make the decision when I'm feeling good about life and then never revisit it.

Starting with tiny habit number one, look at your money daily.

Even though I live off 10% of my income, most people should follow the 50-30-20 rule, which is 50% of their income goes to what they need, 30% goes to what they want, and the other 20% should go to savings.

what i do pretty much every week is any extra cash and all of my companies get swept out put into my holdco and then my holdco automatically invest it in the portfolio i've already decided so i either do high risk stuff in private equity or i do low risk stuff and index funds in the public markets but i don't want to think about it i want to set it and forget it which brings us a tiny habit number six avoid bad debt bad debt is high interest debt this is consumer debt hard money lending

every day i get a email for all of my companies called daily cash report and it includes all the balances all the credit cards all my accounts the transactions for the previous day because i want to get a sense of the heartbeat of cash flowing through my businesses i want to be aware what you focus on expands if you don't know how much cash is being generated in your bank account in your businesses then how can you give it the right attention

remember when i was starting off i had to buy some furniture and i thought i'd be like the cool guy and go get an apartment and finance a bunch of furniture because they said it would cost me nothing no interest payments for three years until it did and that interest payment plus the fact that it took me a few more years to pay it off cost me more than double of just buying the furniture out right at the beginning and did i need that at 20 years old no

I was being silly. Lenders have an incentive to take advantage of you. It's why most credit card companies try to get you some kind of credit early on. I'm talking college campuses. It's wild. You should only take on debt for things that can make you money. Think real estate. Think business investments.

Think investing in yourself where you can get an ROI by investing in the SME 500, not the SMP 500. It's all about short-term leverage. Don't make other people rich off of borrowing money from them. Which brings us to tiny habit number seven, exhaust the body, tame the mind. At 11 years old, I got diagnosed with ADHD and it messed me up.

I was taking Ritalin and Adderall and all these pills to try to make me normal, but I never felt normal when I was taking those pills. I actually liked who I am. What I had to do was figure out how to be me without the medication. A big part of that is going to the gym. That's why I say every day I go to the gym to work on my mind. Yes, it has a physical value to doing that.

But if I don't go, I can't think, I can't focus, I can't get things done in my day. Which brings us to tiny habit number eight. Use your feed on social media to feed your mind. The other day, my son's friend came over after school and he was asking me how I deal with being distracted from things like girls and TikTok.

And I was laughing because I said, I actually scroll TikTok two hours almost every day. The difference is what's on my feed. I like to use my social media to teach myself things, to micro learn, to use it almost like a social university. So what I do is I'll search for topics I want to learn about and then go look at those videos and leave comments on the videos that are good.

And then adjust my feed. That's how I use my feed to feed my mind. Which brings us to tiny habit number nine, read 10 pages a day. The other day I was at the gym and some kid asked me, what's the number one habit millionaires have? And the truth is out of all of them I had to pick from, it's gotta be reading.

And the reason why is that nobody knows how to do the thing they're about to do the first time they do it. And the best way to avoid all the pain of trying to do it through trial and error is to read books. My life was built by books. I've read over 1600 books. I actually did a video on it. You can go search for it.

But the whole premise is that every philosophy, idea, process, habits was all inspired by other people much smarter than me that have lived a big life and mastered skills. And they were sharing everything they learned for 25 bucks and a six hour investment of my time. I think it's the best trade in the world, which brings us to tiny habit number 10, wake up early.

A lot of people talk about getting up early, but let me tell you why. A lot of people sleep in because they stay up late. What I do is I set an alarm to go to bed on time. And that 5am club, that's cool. But what you learn over time is 4am is even cooler. And the reason why is between 3 and 6am is where it's said to have the thinnest veil to the spiritual realm.

So it's not just about getting up early to get work done. It's also about being connected to your creator.

connected to the universe taking advantage of the inspiration and ideations that will come to you at the quiet in the morning it's a beautiful thing some of my best ideas have come from that instead of setting an alarm for what time to wake up set an alarm for what time you go to bed when people see me get up at 4am they think it's impressive but it's not that impressive knowing my alarm went off at 9pm to go to sleep i've been sleeping for seven hours

which brings us to tiny habit number 11, invest in your environment. Four years ago, I was renting a house and I was there for six months and the office had this beautiful window, but it was directly in the sunlight where I couldn't see anything. And I decided within the first few days to hire a sign company to come put a film over the glass.

I call it the 24-hour rule. You should be checking your money every 24 hours. Don't hide from it. Don't pretend like you don't want to see it. I don't want you to go to the ATM machine to find out you don't have enough money to pull money out because you're not aware. Have the app on your phone. Check it often. If you don't like the number, make it better.

And when my wife heard about it, she thought, that's crazy. Why would you spend 1200 bucks to get the glass covered so that you can stay in that spot. And I was like, I don't wanna move my desk. I like the energy of this space, this environment, and I'm willing to spend $1,200 so I can be in the energy of the vibe. And it's funny, I see people make this mistake all the time.

They spend most of their time at their desk and they don't have a great chair. They don't have great monitors. They have invested in keyboards. They have invested in the tools. Maybe it's a camera. Maybe it's the ring light. Whatever would make your work environment feel fun is something I'm a big fan of investing in. Which brings us to tiny habit number 12, follow one course until successful.

That's what focus stands for. See, the richest people in the world do one thing. They just do it for 20 years. They go all in and dedicate themselves to a decade. They don't get distracted. They don't have three businesses with one making some profit and the other two being unprofitable. They don't diversify earlier on because diversification is diversification.

If you want to create wealth, you have to be concentrated. So don't be easily distracted. Pick something and decide to be a master at it. Which brings us to tiny habit number 13, protect your space. Words matter. What you hear matters. I'm a big fan of turning off the news, cutting out toxic friends, curating my feed to show me opportunity and possibility.

The end of the day, the quality of your inputs will determine the quality of your output. You have to protect yourself from the things you're being exposed to. Which brings us to tiny habit number 14. Stop asking for money. There's this great Pitbull song that says, ask for money, get advice. Ask for advice, get money twice. And that to me is how I live my whole life.

Most people are asking for money from investors and friends and family. Why don't you ask for advice? And what happens is when you do that, the person tells you all the things that would need to be true for them to be excited about it. And you just get really good at agreeing with them. And next thing you know, Instead of just getting advice, you'll actually get money.

Which brings us to tiny habit number 15, live below your means. Being wealthy isn't a number, it's actually a ratio. When I was making 120K a year at 25, I was driving a 15 year old car. I was living off of 30 to 40% of my income. Today, I probably live off of just over 10% of my income. Why? Because it's not what you make, it's what you spend. Broke people buy stuff,

rich people buy things that make them money if you want to be wealthy don't buy things that you don't need to impress people you don't like which brings us to tiny habit number 16 give back to your community i learned a long time ago at 17 in rehab that i can only keep what i give away if i want sobriety i have to help other people be sober if i want to be rich i gotta help other people be rich if you want abs guess what go help other people get abs

Which brings us to tiny habit number two, value your time. If you don't value your time, no one else will. You'll be upset that people are taking advantage of you, asking you to do favors and never returning it in the first place. Rich people say no more than they say yes, because a yes is a no to their future and a no is a yes to their goals. What do you want to create in the future?

See, when you have that abundance mentality, focus on other people and being of service, you will create the opportunities in your life to get those results. Most people are running around with scarcity. You wanna be there with expansion. So share your things. If you have a nice house, invite people into your home. If you have nice cars, please share your fricking cars.

I have a neighbor that's got a beautiful car that never sees the light of day because he's worried he's gonna curb his rims or somebody's gonna lean up against it. And that thing has not brought anybody else joy except for him from a selfish point of view. You wanna be the person that brings smiles on other people's faces every day.

Which brings us to tiny habit number 17, reflect on your achievements. Oftentimes when I'm feeling doubt or I'm not certain about my decisions or I've got a big meeting, a big keynote I gotta give and I'm just not feeling it, I go back to a thing called my achievement list.

And this is a list of all the accomplishments I've had over the years, no matter how small, from my very first kickflip to my first exit. I've listed them and I review them because the energy of those moments reminds me what I've accomplished in the past, what I'm capable of doing.

And when I'm sitting in this low energy, self-defeatist mindset, I want to go back to those moments where I've won because massive success is built on tiny little wins. And that's how we build momentum. When you're in momentum, you can't be stopped. The hardest part about winning is getting back into momentum.

If you're not feeling it, you need to use your achievement list to get that energy going. It's like a rocket. When it takes off, it uses 90% of all the fuel to just get out into orbit. Once it's in orbit, it can maintain. Your achievement list can help you stay in that momentum so you don't ever come back down to earth and you stay flying high.

Which brings us to tiny habit number 18, be blissfully dissatisfied. I got this language from my coach, Ed Milet, because he believes that you can achieve and have a lot and be grateful for that stuff. But in the same moment, be dissatisfied with the fact that you know you're here to do more. I think about this all the time when people are like, how much money is enough?

I'm like, what are you talking about? As long as I'm here, I'm breathing and my heart is into the work to create for other people. I'm going to wake up. I'm going to create. I might have an attachment to the result, but I'm definitely involved in the creation.

I just believe if you're listening to this, that you're here to do something more with your life, that you're here to do something massive with your life, that you're here to create something special. And it doesn't matter how big that is. If you're getting up every day, you might as well go build something.

So if you want to learn the seven skills of the top 1%, click the video and I'll see you on the other side.

It's actually okay to be a little selfish to create a better scenario for who you are and what access to resources you have so you can be richer, so you can be more for people in the future. Which brings us to tiny habit number three, set clear goals.

When I started my first company that succeeded Spheric Technologies, I read a book called Good to Great and it said, you have to have a vision for your life. So I sat down and I created a vision. Five years, five continents, 50 million in revenue, 50 people. I don't even know where it came from. It sounded good. Did I get to that level in five years? No. Just shy though.

Well, I mean, I've I mean, I've done I did solar for seven years and, you know, I have a little LLC with that. But I mean, realistically, until I hit a journeyman's card, you know, I'm not really there's really nothing out there that's maybe paying more. I mean, it may be a dollar. It may be two dollars. But sure. Nothing like jumping up another ten to twelve thousand dollars.

Hey, how are you doing today?

So the reason I'm calling is I can't seem to build any kind of wealth whatsoever.

Well, you know, I got three boys, and I got a wife that stays at home, and I'm the only income. But I think I make okay money, but every time I try to build some wealth, you know, like something happens with the kids or something along that line.

Well, I'm a union electrician.

So I make about $1,528 if I work on Saturdays. I usually work Saturdays.

My budget, it takes about $4,800 and some change, maybe. Is that what you're bringing in? Income-wise, that's what you're bringing in? Income-wise, I'm bringing in maybe about $6,000. Okay, so $6,000.

Well, you know, I got my Jeep, and my old lady has her van.

I wish it wasn't, but it is. Yeah, that's fine.

Well, my Jeep, I got maybe $8,000 left on her van. We just had to get, so it's around $22,000. Okay.

Yeah, we just got it maybe about a week ago.

Well, that's where it's eating me. Yeah, I bet. On my Jeep, I'm paying about $4,000. On her van, I'm paying around six.

No, we don't have loans. I mean, we got groceries and we got rent.

I mean... Maybe when I was younger, I'll just keep it easy. I'd probably say maybe about $10,000, maybe. What would it be?

No, it'd probably be a little bit of hospital and maybe miscellaneous. I'm sorry, I'm kind of lost for words.

I got a 10-year-old, I got a six-year-old, and I got one about to be two-year-old. Okay, perfect.

That's the problem. I don't. I can't seem to save a dollar.

That's great.

Thank you for taking my call, gentlemen. I really appreciate it. Sure. How can I help? So I worked my way up in a company here in Indianapolis from the bottom, and I got to a real good high-paying position. I did your steps I won't do to Baby Step 7. We were in a great position. I was getting ready to invest in possibly some rentals on the side, and then I was laid off.

And I need to know if I'm in a position to – possibly do this and make this my dream. I wanted to work for myself for a while and kind of get out of the corporate world. Or if I'm dreaming and I just stay, stay in the corporate world, I've turned down two jobs so far and I just, I'm really not sure what to do.

Okay.

Uh, no, I won't make that much immediately. No, but there's potential there in a few years, but you can land on a quarter million.

I don't know. I don't think I can immediately know.

Right now I've got about $600,000 cash. Okay. And my goal would be to obviously buy a couple rentals and kind of get the ball rolling there. And I don't need a lot. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't want to take a huge step back.

Another high-paying position here in Indianapolis for a data and IT services, and then another company doing a very similar job to what I was before.

I would love to do flips. I just don't know anybody. I don't have anyone I trust in the area to do them with me. I don't know a good contractor. I don't know how to judge repairs.

With doing flips?

Yeah, I've heard so many horror stories. There's a lot of them. The other thing is, The other thing is obviously leave it in the market, but, you know, I've done that. I just really kind of wanted to try this.

41.

No, not at all.

What would your ideal starter property be? I mean, what would you say is the appropriate amount to kind of Do my first one.

George, I think you hit the nail on the head there, and that's some of the comments that we've heard, kind of nonchalant off-comments at social events. And it's like that. It's like what we're doing is strange and out of character for them, but we've been living this way for 15-plus years. And here's the deal. It's not like we became this way overnight.

Hi, thanks for having me.

Well, George, Dr. John, very good to talk to y'all, and Dr. John, I'm about halfway through your new book, and so far so good.

Thank you. Good to be back, yeah. Hey, just a little back story. We've been at... The Baby Steps since about 2010. So we became everyday millionaires, almost textbook. Within 10 years, we became millionaires and paid off our whole nine yards. Amazing. Of course, with no debt and so forth. But recently, I'd say within the last two or three years, we started noticing...

old relationships kind of fizzling and building new ones have not been so great as a family. And it's sort of an unintended consequence of, I think, how we live our lives.

Even though we don't brag about it, I mean, certain things have come up over the years, like, you know, paying for our kids, fully funding their college through 529s, paying for cars with cash, you know, paying off our house and renovating our houses with cash. You know, in certain circles, that information has spread like wildfire, but in a negative way.

And like I said, we're not going out to brag about these things, but we start to see a trend of folks kind of backing out of our lives. And, you know, we get the comments like, oh, y'all are hanging around rich folks now, or we're in different circles and so forth. And, you know, we're just trying to figure out how do we deal with that, you know?

I know it's not a terribly bad problem to have, but still, we're just fixing the change.

41. How old are your kids? They're still in elementary school.

That's all great advice. And like you had said, we have heard that quite a bit. Like, hey, we're not catching this bill. We know you guys have money, so we're just going to let you take the bill. And, you know, that's funny at first, but when it's three, four, five times in a row, it gets a little old.

I feel amazing, brother. Brandon, it seemed like after you submitted him, you walked around the octagon almost like as if you didn't believe it, and then it sunk in. Man, I worked so hard for this, man.

I am excellent. I'm doing well. Okay. Life is treating me very well. Tell me about life. Catch me up. What's new? I've moved into a home with Brandon. We've been expanding our family, just trying to grow and grow and take this time to really pour into one another.

Tell me about the last year after we wrapped up Mavs. Things moved very quickly with Brandon and I. You know, we started merging our lives. You know, we have even started looking for a house to live in long term, things like that, just focusing on getting our future together.

T is, Brandon is the best. I absolutely love him. I absolutely love him. Yes, he showers me with love every day, every day. Running my bathwater, things just as simple as that. You know, it don't take much. It doesn't take much to make me happy. But you know what? He always goes above and beyond to make me happy.

Yes.

So the med spa is under construction. Okay. We are taking a break. Okay. We needed a break. Yeah. After the filming and things wrapped up, things got hectic with my schedule and just trying to manage and balance it all has been tough. Yeah. It's been real tough. So what's happening now business-wise, work-wise? Business-wise, work-wise, I'm taking a pause and focusing on family.

Yeah. I didn't think that family would be at the forefront so soon, which is why I had to slow down on the business aspect. But I understand now as a 36 year old woman that some things are just more important. Yeah. And I really put a lot into my business. I put a lot into my career. And I was also single then. Right. Things change. I was single.

Now that I'm not single, I have to make different choices for what I want my life to look like at the end.

I think that we were just two different people. I believe we were two different people. I think that a lot of my energy was not received well. And that's fine. You know, not everybody's for everybody. So it just seemed like we had a disconnect. And rather than, you know, stay a high, respectful road, things got a little murky. Things got a little murky.

But I focused on the positive and pushed through and wanted to finish my process.

I think that was the beginning of the signs that it wasn't going to work out. That's all it was. It was the first signs of this is not going to work out. Yeah.

It gave big money. I wasn't prepared for that.

I didn't think on this platform I was going to get hit with the, hey, big money. Hey, big money. Yeah. Yeah. Especially over TVs and karaoke machines. I feel like these are things that most people, you know, most fun people have. Yeah. Right. I didn't think anything was extraordinary about the things that I had.

I agree. Yeah.

That's what it felt like after watching it. I didn't feel it in the moment. In the moment, I was just trying to stay excited, stay happy. Yeah, naturally. Yeah, but that's what it felt like watching it back. I wasn't prepared to see... See that. Yeah. I wasn't prepared to see that. Yeah. Yeah.

It was hard being called aggressive on the national platform, especially when I don't hold myself that way. I'm not an aggressive person. I am very firm. I am very direct. But aggressive is not really the proper word for me. And it it was it was humbling. It was humbling. The point the point was to humble me. And the point was made.

Because now I have this umbrella of aggression that people see me as just because of the words that he used during that time.

I believe that the intention behind the word was to humble and to hurt. Yeah. So I don't think that there was any other explanation for why that was said. Yeah, so we don't believe his cover up on the couch. No, we don't believe that. Yeah.

There is nothing that makes me feel any kind of way about him saying he's not attracted to me.

Like...

You know what? In the moments, I didn't know what to feel. I was so focused on the process itself and saying that I committed to this. And that's where I led with. I led with the fact that I was committed.

I was committed to the process. I am one of those people who if I set a goal, my goal was to make it through this process. Right. I mean, now the actions that happened during the process, I couldn't control. I couldn't control the things that he said or did. So I only was taking care of myself and controlling things I could, which was myself.

The minute he called me an asshole. Yep. That'll do it. That'll do it. When he called me an asshole, I kind of figured that out.

Thank you. Let's move on. I was waiting for you to get through that. I know we had to talk about it, so I was going to let it ride.

Yes. He was going through a divorce and I was going through a divorce and we grew up in the same exact city. We were in the same sixth grade class. He was upstairs. I was downstairs. We had never met. Apparently one of my best friends said I had the biggest crush on him back then. I never met him. Never met him. Mm hmm.

Yes. What? Okay. So he knows my cousins. He knows my brothers all because they went to public school. I ended up going to private school in seventh grade. So I never got a chance to interact with him. We have so many mutual friends.

Yes.

Brandon has been so attentive to me. He's attentive. He listens to the things that I need without me even having to say them half the time.

He knows where to pick up where I'm lacking, like around the house. He's the most helpful person. When I tell you he cooks, he does all the cooking because he loves to cook. He's a fire lieutenant. So it just came part of him. Yeah.

In previous relationships, I never really received those kinds of things. It was difficult because a lot of the men that I dated really were out for self. Like they didn't see partnership. Brandon understands partnership already. So I don't have to explain to him that we are together. We're doing things together. We're automatically together.

He picks up as a teammate, not someone who is moving along life by himself. Okay. So how do you feel that you show up for him? In the emotional space. I give him that space to lay down his feelings, lay down his burdens, and we are able to do that together.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can see how people have their own interpretations of Brandon and I, especially because they don't know the history. Right. Even though we did not know each other. There is this commonality. There is this. What is the word I'm looking for? There is this familiarity between the both of us and us. it kind of helped things work.

He's already friends with the people who would hold him accountable should something go wrong.

Yeah. Yeah. So... That has a lot to do with my apologies because I like to end things on a good note. The apology was mainly for me because I don't like speaking to people the way that I had to speak to him because that's where he took it. That's where we took it. I don't like to speak to people like that.

And I had to apologize for my own good conscience because I don't want anybody to be made to feel small based off of something that I said. So are you sorry for what you said or sorry for how you said it? I'm sorry for how I said it. I could have used better words that weren't as harsh. But, you know, when you're hurt, you know, you say some things. Yeah. And that's what came out.

I wish you the worst. Nothing but the worst. Nothing but the worst. Nothing. But the worst. Yeah. It's don't get on my bad side.

Don't get on my bad side.

Yes.

Yeah. You know, and it was more so about the way that I felt I was being treated. Yeah. It wasn't even about does he want me? It was still treat me like a human being.

That's all. Right. Treat me with respect because I haven't. disrespected him right still to this day you can't find tape of me disrespecting because it never happened right besides ekg's personality mishaps was he what you were expecting like physically emotionally mentally do you know what i did not expect anything going into this okay

Knowing I was marrying a stranger, I figured the best way to go was to not expect anything. I love that. It's just easier because then the letdown that may happen in the future won't happen because you expected nothing. Yeah, you didn't set yourself up for failure. Yeah.

Yeah, so I did not expect anything physically, emotionally. I just was like, let me give this person a chance, be the best person I can be, and maybe it'll work out. And yeah. It didn't exactly look, but it worked out in the end, which is one thing I'm staying positive and true about is it did work out. Beauty did come from that mess. For sure. For sure. Yeah.

Like there are little secret angels looking out for me. You know, the little angels.

No.

No, no contact.

Only divorce things.

The divorce is happening immediately. Immediately. It just, you know, with production, there are certain rules we have to follow about timing of the divorce. But the divorce could have happened after he called me and asked.

So in order for us to have a successful show and keep people watching, we cannot file for divorce because it's public record. Yes. So let's say it didn't work out immediately in the show. They're still filming. I can't go and file for divorce because people can't look up.

They have found out so much stuff that I'm like, where are they getting this information? But yeah, they will find out and then it will ruin the season. So we cannot divorce until it's all wrapped up.

That journey was a tough, tough, tough journey. Yeah. There was a lot of sadness. There was a lot of, you know, what could I have done differently to prevent this? There was a lot of time spent in hospitals during that time. And it was a period of reflection for me more than anything, you know, just reflecting on the way I behave, the way I've I've carried myself throughout life.

And just realizing that it's okay. It's okay to be human. It's okay that, you know, things happen to me and things will happen. But it's about how I bounce back from it.

Yeah. Do you feel that the loss has brought you and Brandon closer? The loss has definitely brought Brandon and I closer. Experiencing that, he was right by my side, definitely. During the entire thing, like I was in the hospital for a couple days, ended up needing a transfusion. It was it was pretty it was a traumatic event, to be honest. But having him by my side made it that much easier.

It made it that much easier.

I'm very excited about still, you know, creating a family. It's just timing. I want it to happen on God's time still. Come on. Still. And it will. It will. Whenever he says I'm ready, I'm ready. Yeah.

Yeah, Michelle made it clear that this was not just some coast, some smooth coasting. Yeah, everybody has their ups and downs.

Oh, that's amazing.

Yeah, we got plans. We got some things in the works. That is amazing. More pouring into each other. Clearly. More pouring into each other.

And my daddy like, I got this daughter.

Yeah, we definitely crack that joke regularly.

Yes, and never met.

Did you have any idea who she was?

That's 20, 30.

What?

If you knew him well.

What? Mm-hmm. There's more to this story that just did not air.

At our first date.

Okay.

My last name.

Yeah. And it just, from there.

Yep.

My mind is being blown.

One of my very close friends. Actually, her father. I called him immediately after I left the date with Brandon. I'm like, is he a good guy? He's like, yes, he is a great guy. I said, okay, that's all I needed to hear.

I didn't expect anything going into this date. I almost didn't go, to be honest. The producers had to talk me into going. After I had such a terrible time in the beginning, I was like, I'm done filming. I don't want to do this anymore. But I'm happy I went on that date.

How tall are you? 5'10". 5'10". Yes.

Yeah, we chose each other, which is the difference, that familiarity. It was too strong for me to ignore. Yeah.

That's what he said.

That's who he is. I'm trying to tell you. He's this big energy. And anyone who knows him knows that that is exactly who he is. If you go around our old neighborhood, they will say this is exactly who he's been since the beginning. Even in the sixth grade, this was him. I'm crying.

Yeah. They call me occasionally.

He has two amazing children. These children are exceptional. When I tell you top of cheer, top of basketball, top academically.

Great kids. I love that. I'm happy. I couldn't have picked better stepchildren, to be honest. I couldn't have picked better. Can you see what your future children are going to be? Oh my goodness. Yes. I'm already envisioning. I'm already envisioning. A lot of energy.

It's going to be a lot of energy.

Can I say it? I don't really. He's not homeless.

Let me go on that. Brandon has never been homeless in his life.

That hand clap. Look, the producer started that hand clap. Day one. Day one.

It's been a running theme. Yes. So anytime we talk about anything, the hand clap comes out.

And decide where we want to live because, you know, Chicago is such a big city. So determining whether we want to be in the suburbs, whether we want to stay in the city, there's just so many moving pieces as far as where we want to land as far as home. Yeah. Yeah.

Only if I win. He's very competitive.

Okay. Okay?

I would have to ditch on that one just because where is this conversation that happens that you tell me before I get to your house that you live with your ex? Leah, no, I'd have to ditch. Ditch.

Like, oh, okay. Yeah, I got to go. My Uber's outside. I got to go.

My Uber's outside.

You know, I like a good first 48. So, you know, somebody might, you know, I'm not going to judge anybody. I don't know. I don't know. You said shockingly, which makes me nervous. Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to have to ditch. I'm going to have to ditch. If you watch a couple episodes of SVU, you cool with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know the ins and outs. You know how not to get caught. Yeah, I'm going to have to ditch. I'm going to have to ditch. Okay, Brandon.

Date or ditch? Oh, I'm ditching. I'm ditching. You can't cry. What if I'm crying laughing? You're going to cry the entire movie.

The entire movie. I haven't seen a movie that funny. I have not seen a movie that funny that you cry from beginning. No. Ditch. Ditch, please.

Is that what they're saying? Oh, yeah.

They're definitely saying he's here for TV.

He's a paid actor. I'm like, I don't pay that well. Uh-oh.

The biggest thing that I would say that I learned is to stay true to who I am. I feel like there are times where, you know, I was worried about the way I'd be perceived, the way I'd be looked at. But if I just stay true to who I am, I won't have to worry about any of those things just because I'm being myself. So just staying true to who I am for sure.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hmm. What have I learned now? Hmm.

Yes, they have absolutely no filter. Some people have no filter. That's one thing that I learned. And just to be prepared for anything to come out.

As long as love is love. That is the goal of the show. That's the goal. The whole plot was let's find love. So if I didn't find love in the conventional way, the way they expected me to on the show, they should still be rooting.

Yes. I want to add that in there.

Sneaking.

Yeah.

Yeah, but we don't condone. We don't condone that. We don't condone harming other people in the process. In the process. Yeah.

I'm like, babe, did you see what Ali did?

Hi, Charles. My name's Brandon. And the one thing missing from my morning is a greeting from you.

That was great.

Bevor ich sogar Videografie gemacht habe, habe ich auf deinem Kanal gehört. Und, Alter, es ist verrückt, dass wir zusammen arbeiten, weil ich einen Punkt in meiner Videografie-Karriere erreicht habe, wo ich keinen Ort zu leben hatte. I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't have a plan. I was really scared and I had bills.

So my friend Ashley reached out to me and she said, come live with me and Eugene and we'll take care of you. You don't have to pay rent. Like we'll let you live with us for free and we'll take care of you. You don't got anything to worry about. We'll help you build out here. And that saved me. That saved my life. Das hat mich gerettet und mir einen Weg rausgegeben.

Wir sind beste Freunde geworden und sie ist einfach so cool. Und jeden Morgen spielt sie Eddie Pinero Videos. Und es war wie unsere Morgenroutine. Es war so, dass wir uns für den Tag gehypt haben. Und nachdem haben wir einfach den Tag verpasst. Also ist es wild, dass ich mit dir jetzt arbeite, weil Ashley mir deine Geschichte geschickt hat, wo du dich für einen Videografer suchst.

Und ich war so, keine Ahnung, das wird funktionieren. Ich war so, das wird tatsächlich funktionieren. Ich weiß, dass es ist, weil es ein vollständiger Moment ist.

Action.

Silence is loud.
