But yesterday we were playing Hold'em poker and my 12-year-old son, one by one by one, eliminated everybody.
And then he took me out because the river was a seven. And we went all in, and it was game over. It's documented. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable sharing that. It's okay. We were having Christmas. We're doing our thing. We went ski shooting. We had a good time doing our thing there. And then we tried to go skiing. First time in my life skiing. I typically snowboard.
I'm so glad nobody was recording when I was skiing. Vinny was, but there was a couple things that happened with Vinny and I that – It's great that we were not wearing Future Looks bright gear when we were skiing, man. Yes, yes. It's been horrible. Embarrassing. Horrible. Embarrassing. We lost our credibility for the skiing. Not you, me here, but we're safe and sound here with you guys.

I highly recommend you support brands that are able to give their opinions and thoughts freely. And if you believe the future looks bright like we do, I am certain the future looks bright. Let me give you guys a crazy story. In 1997...
Apple did $816 million of losses, their top-line revenue in 1997. They lost $816 million in 1997. Today, Apple makes $1.1 billion per day. They lost a billion in a year in 1997. Today, they make a billion one a day. They believe the future looks bright. Now, they're a $4 trillion organization.
For us, for some of you guys that may be celebrating Christmas, and honestly, maybe things weren't going right for you. Maybe I've had the Christmas when I'm sitting, I'm like, is anything going to turn around for me? Is life going to change at all? Like, is this how it's going to be? And what am I going to get my break?
You know, that feeling how like you feel like, man, like you're carrying a lot, like the feeling of you go to Christmas and everybody's giving gifts.
And it's like that one movie, Four Christmases, where Dallas, Denver, all the brothers come in, and Vince Vaughn is the big brother that's making all this money now, and he brings the recent Xbox, and he brings all this stuff, and he says, did you not see the minimum of $10? And the other guy, Flashlight, I don't know if you guys remember that scene. Sometimes that may be the Christmas.
Things are not going right for you. Yesterday, Vinny was sharing a story with me, which is an incredible, incredible story that I want to share with you guys, which is what we believe in. Have you ever heard of a guy named Jack Strauss? You ever heard of Jack Strauss? Can you do me a favor, Humberto? Type in Jack Strauss, then put poker. Jack Strauss, S-T-R-A-U-S-S, and type in poker.
Craziest story of Jack Strauss. One day, Jack Strauss, in 1982, this man that Humberto's about to pull up his picture because Humberto's so fast and quick and phenomenal. Ha ha ha!

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the economic discussions in the podcast?
All the Nigerian families who have been getting slaughtered and murdered in church. These aren't enemy combatants. They're not holding up arms. They're in church praying to God in Jesus Christ, Pat. You already know this is an emotional topic for me, but these Islamic terrorists always try to use our Christian holidays to instill fear.
I absolutely love that the president chose Christmas to instill fear into theirs, okay? No more playing games.
no more okay and that's the launch that's the launch off of one of our um uh battle crews good for them good for them okay they're gonna think twice once they go in this church with women children everybody praying it's about time pam and people are gonna say no new wars i already know the same old cast no new wars this isn't a war okay this is an intervention
With their government, how's it a war if the government of the country that you're attacking is in on it? No, this is an ISIS problem, okay? And this is, guys, this is what leadership looks like. And finally, finally, somebody is sticking up for the Christians. Everybody else has somebody sticking up for them, whether it be, you know, Jewish or whatever.
whatever it is okay and today the same people are going to complain go ahead go and complain nobody cares the christians don't care and guess what you know people are like well christianity is about love and peace yeah it is but we're not supposed to lay down and get murdered pet i think this is such an amazing move by the president and what a what a great tactical move on christmas
Who would have thought? You think they're sitting there going, oh, they're going to attack us on Jesus Christ's birthday? No. Pat, this is one of the best news that I've heard in a while. And Nicki Minaj's voice, all of her talking, all of us talking on this podcast, it got to the president and they heard it, Pat. I'm so happy. Adam, what do you think about this? Great feedback there, Vinny.
Adam, where are you at with this?
Of course. I mean, you know the famous phrase, not all Muslims are terrorists. But if you're just connecting dots here, all terrorists are Islamic extremists. I'm sorry to say this, but if you just look at the math, look at the data, the top 10 terrorist networks in the world all happen to be Islamists. Okay, so let me just run down this list real quick. Maybe you've heard of these groups.
So you have ISIS, you have al-Qaeda. You have Islamic Jihad, you have the Taliban, you have Boko Haram, which is in Nigeria. You have ISIS-K. They did the bombing, I believe, in Russia not too long ago. Hezbollah, Hamas, for you ladies and gentlemen, that think they're a peaceful organization. Al-Shabaab, the Houthis in Yemen, and Islamic Jihad in Palestine, that's rounding out the list.

Chapter 5: What lessons can we learn from playing Monopoly with kids?
And so, you know, in terms of asset classes, you know, I'm not really there with Logan Paul. But what I am with is the philosophy of you can make mistakes when you're young, but you We shouldn't teach our people to be impulsive or foolish with their decisions and their money.
Tom, great feedback. And I love the fact that there's opposite ideas here. Here's what I would tell you. The best way to find out what the risk tolerance of your kids are between ages of 10 to 17 years old is play Monopoly with them. You will learn after three hours which one of your kids likes cash and is afraid to take risks, which one of them takes risks.
And by the way, don't teach them anything. Just test them out.
Chapter 6: How does risk tolerance affect financial decisions for youth?
You'll see, you'll say, oh, wow, this kid is super risky. I'll buy this. I'll buy that property from you. I'll buy this property. Give it, I'll buy this. Let's trade this. I'm like, what? No one's, buy, buy, buy. Boom, all of a sudden they land on someone's hotel, bankruptcy, they're out of business. Or they go to a hotel, they get that $500, that's now $800.
Chapter 7: What insights does Patrick share about his early financial struggles?
They build hotels and next unit, they dominate and destroy everybody. Everyone has a certain risk tolerance and temperament. My dad is unbelievably conservative. unbelievably conservative when it comes down to his investments. Everything is cash. I don't think the man has ever owned a house. My dad has never owned a house ever. He's 83 years old. He's never owned a stock.
He's never owned a life insurance policy.
Chapter 8: How is the conversation about media bias and accountability introduced?
He's never owned a Roth IRA. He's never owned anything like that he's never owned. And by the way, He's had his driver's license here since 1984. One time a cop pulled him over. He got so upset at the cop for pulling him over. He says, you cannot pull me over. He says, what do you mean, sir? I'm pulling you over. He says, I've never broken the law.
My dad doesn't have a single speeding ticket or a ticket period red light since 1984 when he got his driver's license. Now his son on the other side... He's got 25 speeding tickets. My license was suspended twice in my early 20s. I don't know how many red light tickets I got. It's very different. So now my sons, when we drive, one of my sons is like, dad, step on it, step on it.
And my other son's like, dad, speed limit. You're going above 35. So no, a part of that is you. A part of it isn't you can force it. You can increase a little bit of your risk tolerance or not. Here's where I'm at.
I went so aggressive in my early 20s that I found myself being $49,000 in credit card debt at 24 years old, 25 years old, with Ford, Galpin Ford, trying to come and find my Ford Expedition because I would park it a mile away because I had to make a car payment for three months because I lost everything. And I would make phone payments on Nextel, $43 payments because that's all I had.
And I would negotiate with Nextel to turn on my Ford for four days so I can sell stuff. Because I was a financial guy. I was an insurance guy. I needed my cell phone. And that's how I made it. I risked. And then eventually, it turned out to be a big return. I've made the big art purchases or collectible cards and all that stuff that worked in my favor.
I would say, like yesterday, my son and I were talking. And I said, Dad, when did you start liking stocks? I said, I'll never forget what happened to me. One time, I put $2,000 or some number, like a small number, into a Nike stock at $27. He says, what happened? I said, it went to $41. No way. Yes, and how long? Less than a year. I said, I looked at my... E-Trade portfolio.
This is back in the days. And I'm like, oh my God, the 2000 turned into $3,200. I didn't work for this $1,200. This is sick. This is crazy. And so then I said, this is some good stuff here. Then one time I'm 24, 25 years old. I'm at church.
one of my guys that i recruited that used to sell forex he was a series three licensed guy who sell futures and you know commodities he goes on an appointment with another lady who is today with the chief scientist i think at ibm brilliant lady lady named solmaz they go on an appointment she sells a six thousand dollar target
premium insurance policy, and my broker calls me and says, what did you do the last two hours? I said, I'm at church. She says, well, you just made $1,200. I said, no, you don't make money when you go to church. You lose money because you have to tithe. He said, no, no, no. You just made $1,200. I said, how? Remember when you introduced this person and this person, they both got licensed? Yes.
