And it's perspective is the difference between looking at something from a business owner's perspective and somebody that only feels that they can be a worker. A business owner perspective is looking like, nah, we can't be paying these people if they're not doing the job. That money can be going towards something else, going towards building the business.

Workers are like, well, I'm OK with staying at home, knowing that you're not going to be as efficient getting your work done. Like nobody at home, you know, I'm sure everybody listening, if you disagree. You could just say you're the special person that will get more work done without having anybody on top of you or without having that work environment. But let's just be real.

Like, that's why we have coaches from a young age in sports. Like if a coach says, hey, you guys do your conditioning on your own. Do you think everybody's going to do the conditioning at the same level if the coach was there? So. And I feel like they're being gracious with that. They're telling people like, yo, if you want to come back, you can come back.

If not, we'll even give you what is it like eight months severance? Eight months. So it's like the fact that people are still complaining about that just shows entitlement on a whole nother level. And it just shows exactly why Elon has to be exactly how Elon is. So and I think it's a testament to his leadership as far as like a business owner, even being willing to hire young folk, young folk.

they have more understanding around social media and a lot of these things than us. And I feel like the best leaders, they're going to hire different people from different ages, different, right? Diversity, right? Diversity is what we're looking for. So diversity of age, because people are able to solve different solutions just based on their different experience growing up.

So I see that as a plus. I see people just rooting against winners, man. It's just a lot of this is just people's insecurities coming to light. Yeah, exactly.

I mean, dude.

I am not an expert.

David, are you in on this crypto shit?

I was in a little I on Bitcoin. Yeah. On Bitcoin. I have no issue with it. You know, to me, I look at it as if and I don't have the best understanding for it. You guys can probably explain it better than me.

The more people are involved in it, the more people that are invested in it, it's going to drive the value up. And if they're not making more of them, it just seems like, you know, a very limited resource and the price is just going to keep going up eventually.

It seems like people are, I mean, definitely I feel like it's gained the respect of a lot of people and institutions that tried to just kind of act like it wasn't going to be a thing. An overnight type of thing. But I mean, when you look at it now, it definitely seems like it's going to be here for the long run. Yeah.

I don't know. If so, I've never gotten one. I need to look into that. I need to look into that. What was that? What year was that? Give me one from college. Give me one from my college. I'll enjoy that one better.

Yeah, I tell you what, it probably wouldn't have been anywhere close to a lot of these big name schools, but there is something to say about being... One of the larger fish in that smaller pond. You can still get appreciated. You know, we definitely would have had, you know, at least some meals covered. Maybe a little piece of that.

Anyway, you guys big on like I feel like I used to collect the sports cars. And then once it turned into like all the other cars, I couldn't keep up like the Pokemon. You know what I mean? I was into the sports cars.

That's what makes it fun. It is fun.

I'm a lot on the – it's funny. You know what? So a lot with politics, and it almost goes back to a point which you guys said earlier, and relating it to sports, like outcomes. And I feel like that's what I'm pretty much paying attention to. I mean, sports is cool, but my new sport is politics. That's what I like to learn about. Just seeing how people leverage power.

Like, it's just actually exciting for me. But you're right. You know, just being able to look at the outcome of things and the results rather than the intent. So whether it's DEI, whether it's anything else, I just kind of look at it like, what are the results of it? Rather than how people are trying to sell it to me on, how is it actually impacting certain things? Yeah.

From a news perspective, definitely Trump is big. I'm super excited about what RFK Jr. hopefully will do with a lot of the, you know, being willing and having the courage to go against the FDA, big pharma. Like that's what I'm here for. I'm here for all that. Just creating a better culture for us to be healthy and rather than to be reactive with all the. pharmaceutical medicines and whatnot.

So I'm excited about him bringing together all different types of people. RFK Jr., that's one of the guys that I was really rocking with before he dropped out. So I'm optimistic. I'm optimistic.

So yeah, I know a lot of people are miserable and upset, but I really feel like that's just because they're getting bamboozled in some ways and not realizing the actual opportunities that are in front of us.

You got the powder? What do you use, the powder?

Get it to the brain ASAP. It's natural, bro. Oh, God.

Well, I had Tesla before, I guess, Trump won. And I remember the day of the election, it was probably around like 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, when it was looking like Trump was going to win. And I just happened to get an alert from Robinhood saying, And I just saw my Tesla, you know, jumping out and I was eased up a little bit.

I can't do the sports betting, man. Yeah. I just, I don't know. I don't know. It's hard for me to bet on anything. If I'm not participating in it, you get me going. If I'm, if I'm playing in it or something, then I'll bet. But other than that, you know, I wonder if, so this is what I was even thinking about the sports betting. Cause I always think like the house is going to win, right?

The house is going to win.

They're the ones that are the business. Right. But is this the difference between casinos with the sports betting now? Because you can have, let's say, sponsors in a different way than going into the casino. Those companies can actually make a lot of their money just on having sponsors and whatnot. Or I don't even know if they're allowed to sponsor. I don't even know what the rules are.

So it almost gives them the opportunity to, I guess, feed the people that are betting within their platform a lot more or give them a bigger piece of the pie, whatever it is. Because they're getting so much sponsorship money. So I don't know. I'd rather do that than go to the casino and play with the slots or something like that. But, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. To each their own.

If they want to throw $10,000 into it and if they can show me a history of some wins, I'll put some money in it.

No. All right. So just... No, no. Man, I've... Shoot, man. I've had a relationship probably for the last... It's almost 20... It's like 20 years now, but on and off. On and off. I'm super transparent about it. Man, it's the toughest thing in the world. It's the toughest thing in the world because it's like no matter what you do, you still rely on somebody else to do something on their end.

I guess it's like any other partnership, but... Thank you.

But that to me shows a lot more about how we're not truly appreciating what Elon Musk is bringing to the table. And there's a lot of people just hating on it for the wrong reasons. What I like to call just hustling backwards. But overall, you know, since Trump's, you know, one, I did a list like I had to write down a list because I was so confused. I'm like, oh, why do people? hate him so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I understand the emotional aspect, especially with everything being so divisive and, you know, the other side or all different sides trying to make race such a big issue or LGBTQ, all the woke ideology. But when you actually put pen to paper and write down the stuff that he's been able to put in play, we'll see what the results are as we move forward.

But just the stuff that he's been able to put in play, compare that list to to four years of Biden and Harris. And I mean, it's hard to dispute the fact that he's making some real difference in a positive way from my standpoint.

Yes. To your point. I mean, it's that's like what stands out to me the most about Elon. The fact that people are getting upset at Elon saying he's not qualified. We didn't vote for him. And it's all people that didn't vote for Trump saying that. Like as somebody who did vote for Trump, that's exactly what I voted for. That was one of the things that I voted for that I thought.

who better to examine a business than Elon Musk? And what we're seeing is a lot the difference between politicians and business people. Politicians just leverage U.S. money.

They want to take time to do certain things because their goals are totally different than an actual business that needs to stay in the black, that needs to be profitable, that has other employees that are relying on the success of that business. We're seeing the difference, and it's almost like one of those things where – You come in and you have an audit.

The people that are getting upset or let's say the gym teacher comes in. The gym teacher comes into class and says, hey, everybody who's out of shape, who can't pass these certain tests, we're highlighting you and we're going to put you out there on front street. The people that can pass the test are not chirping.

It's the ones that can't pass the test that are sitting there nervous, trying to say this is wrong. We shouldn't have these testing. And the whole time the test is just to make sure that we'll become healthier. And that's what Elon's doing. He's trying to create a healthier business as America.

And people are getting upset and allowing politicians to finesse them into thinking that, well, Elon Musk is going to steal your Social Security number. Elon Musk is probably the last person that needs to steal your Social Security check. He's good. Like, you know what I'm saying?

It's just it's just so like you're more upset about the person exposing how our money is being spent than the actual people that are spending it in all these crazy ways. It's wild to me.

Yo, it's wild. I saw that one on the whatever it was. What is it called? Bushings? I don't even know what it was.

I saw that one. And what's so funny is now you'll see like guys like Bill Gates and a lot of these other people saying, well, it's only one percent of the spending. And it's so funny because I don't know. Yeah, I'm sure you guys have dealt with people that have successful businesses. 1% to a business person is totally different than 1% to a politician.

1% to a business person can be the difference in make or break the outcome of the success of their business. 1% to a politician is like, oh, it's nothing to even worry about. And to me, it's even bigger than... with the actual money, if you want to fund condoms for whatever group overseas, it's actually, I just asked myself, like, why are intelligent people doing things that don't make sense?

And to me, that's when there's something else there. There's, okay, I'm trying to funnel this money to, you know, it's really not going to condoms. It's just something that will write off. And then obviously that's getting collected.

And, you know, write a check to myself. Right. And then but but what's so crazy about it is and even to the point where you said about the age, the age thing is so weird to me because I think we forget how young a lot of leaders and revolutionaries were, even in the history of America. You look at like MLK wasn't that old. Fred Hampton was like 22, 23, leading a whole group. So.

All of these people, they're just making excuses and they're getting finessed by politicians that are just leading them in whatever direction. The politicians are probably sitting back like, yo, we can't believe these people are actually following it. But the people just get so emotionally attached to these agendas and become fanatics that they'll just go with whatever.

It really is, bro. Like like everything when you're down here. I don't know about you, Chris, but when I'm down here, everything is just a different form of inspiration. You know what I mean? You got to make sure you're not getting caught up in, you know, comparing yourself too much. But it is a it is good in some ways. Give you that added inspiration.

And then we got like Jefferson and all of them.
