u yeah i feel like i could rule where i know i could be what i want to put at all in it like a days off on a goal travel never look him back okay sam you got a new new musical intro for us go ahead hit him with hit him with the new intro alright ready alright that's pretty good come on so you never like oh noon oh m m so i'm discovering you got more talents than i initially would have given any credit for you've almost dunk you can skateboard well very well actually skateboard great you have seen me only almost dunk but i can definitely dunk okay and beat boxing okay well what what else you got up sleeve i'm the king of being just barely above average at many things and unfortunately not world class at any yeah that's alright that's you get world class because you can do all those things at at above average level and a few people can do that you know what that you know why i'm so good at all of these weird things it's called being locked in your garage for your entire childhood living in the garage and just you should see what i can do at a po stick for real i could i can jump on it if that would it like make it do a flip and grab it and i can do what it yeah jeez did were you that kinda kid who like just break like broke your arm every two years i always kept broken arms i always had i had stitches in my face i i always have stuff i can ride a uni cycle and juggle while doing it i can do anything so when i was in sixth or seventh grade and i got cast in a movie very randomly like a small budget movie and the guy was like okay kinda the casting guy goes so your character like is kinda like a skater kid and and i was like okay cool like i don't need to skate them right because i i can't skateboard and he's like yeah that's okay but like it'd be better if you can like we start shooting in a month can you just learn and he's like but don't get hurt don't sue us okay practice in the grass i was like you want me to press escape the grass he i was like i don't know never mind and so i went outside one day i practice skateboarding in the grass which is not a thing and i was like alright fuck this they need to change the character until you didn't get it i got it they changed the character to a kid that goes through many phases so in one scene i'm like a gothic kid and the next scene i'm like a hip hop kid next scene i'm like country next scene i'm zen every time i show up in the movie i i'm doing a different thing in the background having you have an i d and you are credited with playing deep in ball chain and deep is where's the party are what's the your the is like dude so it's like dude where's the party that's basically what that movie oh my gosh were you really yeah these are like real small budget like kinda like it's it's an american movie it was released in theaters but i think i told you just before but this how i've i met cal penn who you know from harold and kumar and a bunch of different things he was my big brother in this movie in both movies actually do you have clips of this i don't there's like a dvd somewhere like a vc because i was like what was big back then so no i don't have a copy of these movies i don't know if there are any copies in existence anymore wow that's crazy well let me i've never even seen the second move didn't watch it i was like this movie gonna suck did you get paid i got paid yeah they kinda have to pay you first actually because child actor laws are like pretty strict so i was always the the second movie ran into budget issues but i got paid even though some of the other like adult actors didn't well god bless you god bless america do you wanna talk about today do wanna recap on some of the stuff that we've done yeah do the recap last wednesday we had jack on which was a favorite i think it had a little following because i got a lot of i could tell by how many people tweet at me the week or the day before that we had rahul from super yep let's start with these super so i had never met him two minutes into hearing him speak would have done anything he said are you the same boat yeah i was like why aren't my legs open right now going yeah he he did you yeah i think he's like a very charismatic kinda well spoken he seemed like a character to me it didn't seem like wouldn't say like oh he's a well spoken person no it's like that's like under stating how unique the way he spoke was and i thought that was cool and then he was like you know he's built something he's built two cool things reported and superhuman and i liked his frameworks for how we thinks about things and i've been i've read his blog before that so i liked him i didn't think the episode was that great but i thought i like either but i liked him yeah so the reason i like him is because he has a skill set or an attribute about him that i don't even remotely have and i'm so en of people who do that is that he he seemed incredibly intentional so he was he seemed very even ke very self aware and above all that intentional he knew what he wanted to get into what he wanted to do and he seemed pretty consistent in that and i envy me that because being intentional is actually hard i would say i don't i wouldn't call you not intentional i wouldn't call you intentional i don't know i think about it but like you and i are a little bit similar in that we're like we see something things like oh yeah we're in yeah we're like a dog we just chase the next you know smell or site that we see we just like go in that direction versus i don't think that that guy is as easily distracted nor like waivers in his behavior i feel like his behaviors very consist exactly and it's i don't know if consistency sees the right word or if intentional is the right word maybe both but i envy that and i i wanna be more like that but he had that for sure i think it helps up he sold his business he probably took off for a few years and had time to like he probably doesn't have too much of a rush for many things which is i guess a little bit easier to be one i think he said this which is that like you know he's put in the work he's like i have a coach like i have a personal trainer i have an executive coach i have a meditation coach and like that's easy a lot of people could try that but it seemed like he has put in reps that either you know just amplified what he already was or like changed what he was i don't know i didn't know him until we got on the call but i would say it was cool and i like seeing that i have this phrase i say which is like you wanna see what a twelve looks like so in any any fat let's say it's public speaking it's just really useful to just see somebody who's like incredible at it just literally seeing them will change your whole perspective and your bar of what is good what is great where are you in the scale i've tried to do that with many things and in fact with a recent project i brought somebody in and you know gave up some economics that i wouldn't normally give up because i was at had a hunch i believe that my friend i was like i think this person's a twelve and executing whatever you know i give up on the economics of this project i will gain in the long run just by getting to see a twelve up close and personal i think that's cool and i i encourage people to like steal that steal that little framework of like i think that's a twelve you know i would say you're this way with maybe it's copywriting i don't know how i would say it's sort of like persuasion yeah and just talking common and speak to people in a way that gets them on board with you i think you're like a twelve at that and i've seen it whether it's your emails it's your even when we were doing this deal for the podcast it's like you have a way of persuasion that i think is very natural or i don't know if it's natural you worked at a bunch but like either way i guess it's it's very good it's like way above what i even thought was good and so now i'm like oh now that's what i think of when i go sit down to write a cold email to somebody or whatever because i've seen a twelve before what do you think you you are a twelve at honestly i think my version of twelve is when somebody in like a probably a business but it could be like maybe life context when they bring something up my on the spot improvised kind of like answer or questions that i asked back to them is really fucking good so this happens a lot like when we would do our mastermind groups and somebody would be like oh you know here's what's going on in my business or here's what i'm thinking about and then there's kinda like a whole bunch of other like really successful people on the table but nobody knows quite what to say where to start and i personally think i'm really good at that i can take that conversation in a direction where within fifteen minutes the other person's gonna feel way more clear on what they're doing and way better about what they're doing and so i call like an improvised coaching or something weird like that i would agree with that you're definitely great at that do you wanna talk real quick about i think it happened today our friend of the pod andrew wilkinson i think he did a spa didn't he danny yeah i think it's our trading today is this the weak commerce one yeah this guy who we have is name's andrew on the podcast he did us spa today how's is it trading so it's on the tea the canadian exchange what's it called this the canadian exchange something like that but it looks like some b or c like ts x venture exchange so is it like an otc platform i don't even know like the pink sheets i don't know what it i've never even heard of that okay well we should probably look it up before we talk too much about it alright speaking of going public my wife works at airbnb and they went public on thursday congratulations yes for her and it was awesome it was awesome just because it was like lucrative for her but also like crazy to see how all that happens what did you see tell me about it i've never been a part of that first of all the employees only know i mean they confirmed that it was happening the next day i think at like midnight the night before they all knew it was happening because of the media but she only knew what was in the media second of all for her shares we thought it was gonna be a home run if it was like seventy dollars a share the high was one sixty one and she's locked up all employees are locked up for what like six months i think it is no actually they were allowed to sell up to fifteen percent of their stuff the first week in order to pay for the taxes bill and did she no we oh nice boy i was like nope i mean it's at one thirty today and it was one thirty or one sixty at the other day so i guess technically it would have been smart but i'm bullish on it yeah both who the whole house yeah and she's also pretty even killed so was she like you know jumping up and down or didn't you know didn't really well it was a substantial amount of money many seven figures you know that's her business i well i wanna talk too much about it but it's crazy what people can earn just being at a company she made a lot of money and like she's got like an easy job not an easy job but like she she didn't have to risk at all to get that right the risk reward was different yeah it's nuts and i always joke with her that that's like the place i was gonna work because i i was gonna work there and i gonna be employee number two hundred and i'm like how much would my shares have been worth right anyway it was cool to see i saw it at firsthand i've never experienced anything thing like that we are watching live constantly it's nuts so i mean do you watch your so you have some amount of money in amazon do you watch that on a regular basis yeah i check it first thing here for morning not that like it matters like i'm not doing anything with it i'm not like buying a trading it's not nothing like that but i do check it right like when i open up my phone i swipe over and i see a bunch of different like kind of financial related things and i just like to know where i'm at for the day and if there's anything like you know super in the red that i need to think about or or look at so yeah i look at it but not too much right it's like buy and hold right like i wanna hold all those shares for ten years and that's the way i think about it so it doesn't really matter that i'm checking it every morning that's just for sport we looked at what it ended with on friday and then we have to go shopping for our home stuff for our new house and we were like okay maybe we'll get the nicer cut which by the way for right now this covid thing is nuts because i haven't been buying anything and i went to the store to buy a couch it's gonna take three to five months for me to get a couch yeah that's how it is it's crazy yeah everything is still bad even in a good time it's like two months and so now it's like four it's nuts is your supply for all the projects that you have on is your supply chain completely screwed them no everything is delayed and there were times like you know when covid hit china that like obviously shut down production in china so any products are produced in china were slowed down and then now shipping is just like the strain is this so crazy on shipping so everything is delayed with the holidays and like all around like the carriers like fedex ups they all issued a bunch of notices so there's actually a bunch of people in the e commerce world bet they sold a bunch of things on black friday and like post black friday like gearing up for christmas and then ups and fedex just hit them with a notice i was like hey like either your price has gone up by double triple whatever it is or hey we're only gonna take a thousand orders from you and like what do you mean we have six thousand pending orders they're like yeah we're start we're only gonna take a thousand and they have to do this to like it's sort like the way that the hospitals can get overrun if covid does rampant it that's what's happened to this sort of shipping infrastructure all the way from boats and ports to the like last mile carriers yeah it's nuts it's like trying to order stuff i didn't quite understand it it's been wild i'm such a hill billy i just thought that when i bought a couch i'm like yeah like you have it here like in the past store go get it and they're like no we gotta like make these i was like you're my truck up front or yeah and they're like no i mean i know west elm like did made to order stuff i'm like you guys are just a store just give it to me and they're like we don't have it i'm like you have one right here get me this one i remember me and sam went furniture shopping when you're putting the podcast due together in the hustle office and we wanted to go get a very specific item we're like we wanna go get bright and red like kinda like lounge chair that we're gonna sit in and that's gonna make for a great you know thumbnail for a video clip and we went to a bunch of our storms and be walking the first person we would see is was like hey like you know how can i help you so it'd be like i want a bright roof so far we're trying to buy it like in the next thirty minutes and then we would get like this incredible service because they're like oh shit these guys are ready to buy like these guys are trying they put a time limit on how long they're willing to like spend shopping on this thing i'm on a mission man i get i get out of bishop like i gotta get it done alright you wanna talk about some ideas you wanna talk about your little viral tweet that you had yeah okay so i tweeted this out i did not expect it to go viral i hoped it would but i sort of don't expect anything to and it did it's kinda crazy so i tweeted out this idea that i think we've actually talked about on the podcast months ago so the idea was i so i'll say the idea and then i'll say what happened since i put the idea out which is really funny so i put the idea out which i said here's the startup idea that can make i think ten million a year in profit no coding required just hustle if someone wants to go do this like i'll i'll invest cash and you you do all the work here's the idea and i basically said i think somebody should create the combine for youth sports and so if people don't know the combine is combine is like for nfl athletes before they get drafted they go to this place called the combine it's basically just like kind of this little track and field area where it's like there's a forty yard dash and you go and you get timed and then they write down your time oh you ran a four point four forty wow that's great vertical leap go jump as aside as you can see how see which mark you can touch okay thirty six inch vertical leap that and so there's like ten tests and you do all ten tests and then as an athlete you get your scores for all ten tests and that shows you how you rank against other athletes so i've been watching how crazy competitive and how crazy like over parenting is nowadays with youth sports and so i'll throw kind of like a family number you know slightly out of the bus here so my brother law has a bunch of kids and two of the boys they're i think probably like six and eight years old something like that and they're in like a competitive travel baseball team soccer football whatever and they take it like extremely seriously which is awesome like i wish my parents took sports is seriously as this when i was a kid but like they are constantly trying to help them get better so they'll buy them equipment they'll get them trainers they're trying to get them into the better leagues and the better leagues are like cool you need to pay thousands of dollars because we're gonna travel to arizona for this game and we're gonna go here for this and this has become this like twenty billion dollar industry a year parents are spending twenty billion dollars a year in america on competitive youth sports and every sport has like a slightly different setup it'd be great if you could create kind of like a traveling circus that just goes from city to city and when it pops up in your town it's basically a place you can go and you could pay to get your you know you go to take the sat for athletes go take your test and see how you're doing athletic and so you go get your height your weight your body fat your wings span your hands span you go do your forty yard dash your push up test pull up test whatever and you get a bunch of benchmarks and like hey you get a certificate you get a photo your data stored in the database that you can share with your team or you can see how you progress year over year and it's just like a fun thing to do to go kinda like go through a little athletic obstacle course here's the how the money would work and i went through a bunch of details i don't know how much you want me to go through it yeah so let me let me tell you about something do you know what spark is so a bunch of people brought up spark they said spark used to do something like this back in the day it was awesome i did it what was it so it's s p a r q so let me tell you what spark means so spark it's spark with the queue so spa a r q it stands for something and so they call it like the sat for athletes so i did it as a kid because another odd talent is i was used to be a very fast runner i ran the four hundred meter dash and i was very good at it i did it in division one got a scholarship and i trained in high school for the spark and so the spark if i remember correctly it's a forty yard dash it's a medicine ball throw it's an agility test like where you do a three cone touch and then it's a hundred and eighty five pound bench press as many times as you can and i don't remember what and in a vertical and then a broad jump is that it a yeah something like that and so this says forty four thousand athletes have gone through spark and received a spark rating the number one athlete let's see reggie bush or in and tim ti were up there they're up there but there's you know some random guys that you've never heard of that are just like sick athlete so some a gold medal to athlete brian clay yeah recorded at one thirty which is insane reggie bush was a ninety three tim ti was a ninety six point nine two so that's cool yeah so i never heard of this but this sounds like the exact idea from back end the it was awesome and here's what i did was velocity sports was the place that i trained which is another cool business the velocity sports was started by the ls u track coach and they have dozens of facilities throughout the country and i would pay i think i paid fifteen hundred dollars to train there for a three month session like spark stands for speed power agility reaction and quick yeah and what you do is you do the spark test when you show up on day one to your baseline right you train for three months and you test every three or four weeks to see how you improve and how you improve and how you improve and they report it to the colleges or like you can like tell your college what your spark reading was it eventually was acquired by nike i think i think it's a great great business and velocity sports the gym i want you must have paid spark a little bit of money to allow them to do it it was awesome i think my opinion spark training is whatever it's like the type of training everyone to do it was awesome right this is sort of explosive training so i love this i didn't know about that yeah i that was that was kind of the idea and so i was like you know here's how the economics could work by the way sparks not around anymore i don't think so there's an opportunity here things have changed right and that we're working its terrible first it sparks not around anymore great it'd be worth figure out why it's not around right maybe there's some fatal follow flaw with this idea i don't know but the second thing is instagram wasn't around back then and i think that's a huge component of this i've gone and done things like tough mud we did a spartan race together just the like kind of like going and doing a thing with your friends and kind of getting rough and tough in the in nature getting photos at the end with your kind of your your metal or your certificate and your head headband and whatever that's like a big part of it because you're basically not just are you gonna go have the experience you get to talk about the experience on instagram or wherever you're kinda getting your social cloud i think that's underrated right why museum of ice cream works that's why tough mud works right because they are social and they are photo worthy opportunities the second thing i would say that helps is that youth sports today when you were probably eight or nine you probably weren't in that farm system yet it's starting at like age five or six today which is sounds crazy some people provide this is horrible and by the way that's definitely some of the reaction i got which is like you're exploiting children this is bad for bad for kids it might work but like you're evil for for suggesting this that's crazy to me by the way so that was one of the reactions but i think those work in your favor here because you can go down market you're not just for competitive high school athletes you can go all the way down to the eight nine year old divisions and test them and then they're gonna get retest every year because they're gonna wanna see how they're growing and how they're getting faster or stronger so some percentage of them will be repeat customers over time so i put this out there and the thing got like two thousand likes but there's like a whole bunch of replies so it got half a million impressions in over a hundred thousand engagement so this thing kinda of sparked some people thought was a good idea targeting dms from pro athletes who were like y this is a great idea i don't wanna say all their names i could say some names but i don't anyone like famous like semi my famous right so like i'll tell you a funny you're you're know i'm probably not gonna know there's a nba player named matthew del who like replied to one of treats public yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't have so but there's a a handful of people who are kinda like in the professional sphere who were like hey this is dope you know there was like nba general manager who reached out and was like hey this is a great idea let's brainstorm here's my phone number we get done with practice today at five just call me he's like i think we could get the nba the nfl on board cosign signing this which is sort of guarantee success i would invest in this as well and actually have a few people in mind who could run this i was like dope so where's this gonna lead to this is great i love this so two things happened one was the way i use twitter is like how most people use like snapchat like i just send it and i forget it like i don't even want all my tweets to be like there for for people to go see in the future so when i wrote it i was like okay i'm kind of like done with the idea now i was like off my chest i thought there's a good idea i it out in the world i hope somebody does this if they do it well here's what i wanted well that's exactly what we were talking about earlier intentional right or being intentional mine was not not not intentional haley i purchased but basically what i hoped would happen was that somebody would just see this idea i'd be like i'm gonna go do this and as they did it like as a token back to me would just be like hey i got my first event planned in this city we're gonna do it i got two hundred registrations and then if somebody actually got to that point i'd be like cool do you need capital to like accelerate this and like make this like a real thing because i'll i'll invest i'll advise but like you just run with it like you don't really need me anymore so i put out a follow up tweet which is like so i get this a lot but you probably get it way more how many people reach out to you in our like legit like you would bet on them or you would like wanna be involved because the vast vast vast majority of people who reach out to me are just joker yeah it's the same same for sure and they're not like necessarily joker but the like you know i wouldn't invest in i'm necessarily there's just very far from that level you need to be at to like build a successful company i don't mean to say that as like a knock it's just like the law of large numbers right like i probably got i don't know two hundred fifty dms from this and i would say that like ten were interesting max well my thing is not necessarily the people are are or are not worth betting on but the amount of people who say like yeah once i i'm like do you really starting something that's a full time job like that's your life like this is like your career like whenever people are like hey you wanna go hang out wednesday the ten am i'm like well no have a job i have i have to work and the amount of people who dm me typically are like yeah i'm do this thing i'm like okay do it and like well you know maybe like one day i'm like okay so like that you're not gonna do it right so i'm gonna keep doing this form of like i don't know crowds sourcing entrepreneurship or i'm gonna put out ideas or calls to action and like because the thing is of those two hundred fifty day dms yeah maybe only ten were worth it but ten were like worth at another conversation but those ten are like legit right like they're they're interesting either connections or people teach me stuff like a whole bunch of people said oh this won't work for these reasons and i used to be like arguing with them no here's why it will work but instead i'm like okay let me just hear you out and maybe i can learn something that i didn't know you know from what you're saying and most of the time they're like oh i tried this you you know it didn't work and then i asked them what did you try it is so completely different from the idea i'm like okay if you can't tell the difference between these two things then like you know i can't really help you but in terms of where this goes i basically tweeted out a follow which was like look i got too many dms to go through for this i'm not gonna go through them so if you wanna do this just start you don't need my permission you don't need need me to pick you you don't need to set up a call with me to discuss further i put the whole idea out there don't know any more about this than really what i put out there so just run with it and if you do run with it like keep me updated it just be like hey i'm doing it and i thought that was a great and i thought that was a good follow yeah so i so i like this let's talk about one more tweet thing which is sam alt said something that was a great question i don't have it in front of me but basically he said which market is teeny now but will be worth a trillion dollars in ten years or is that right he's said fun game what tiny slash nonexistent market today will be a trillion dollar market in ten to twenty years and i actually wrote down some of the interesting things that came out of it so i'm gonna read you some of them i'm gonna do one at a time and you just say like yes no i don't know whatever whatever your instant reaction is okay i know your reaction is the first one so su who's the founder of mix panel said falling romantically in love with something digital slash artificial another one matt m said induced p stem cells i don't know i know what the fuck what does that mean i haven't looked it up but i remember correctly this is basically when you take a stem cell and you teach it to be a certain type of cell so you can train a you can basically take a stem cell looks like a blank canvas and you could get it to become you know muscle tissue or heart tissue or brain tissue or whatever that's cool by like introducing i could be totally but it's like a p potent i think means can do many things much like yourself with skateboarding and running thirty a trillion dollar industry matt come on and get on the train no i don't know i anything didn't about that so pass alright ryan del founder of primer a little bit bias and homeschooling yeah trillion trillion a dollar i don't think so trill i mean that that's a really hard number to understand but homeschooling i think will be way bigger in the future yeah or okay so here's homeschooling length is interesting so as i've grown older i've gotten more anti government not in like i hate the government but i wanna be a little bit more self reliant than before right and me and sarah we're talking about raising kids this week and i was like i don't know and this isn't i'm not like trying like get political or anything i just was thinking myself i don't really know if i want the government to teach my children to do stuff maybe i would wanna do it or have our family do it or a private school do and they can do exactly what we want them to do because it's private they don't follow the same rules as the government and i think that i can't decide if that sentiment it always has been there but is that growing or not i don't know there's a good chance that homeschooling doesn't mean what it means today which is like you pull your kid out of school they're socially isolated at home and then you as the parent are teaching them which i think is probably the common definition of homeschooling i could be wrong but i think that's like the prototype and i think that could be very different because like now with covid for example everyone's doing these like pods which is like yeah your kids not going to school they form a small pod of four or five kids we hire a teacher the teacher makes a hundred grand a year and they teach our kids in a very kinda like you know very high teacher to student ratio where they're doing that either in our house or the backyard or somewhere like that that seems much more like realistic to get big to me than homeschooling where the parent doesn't it here's a twist on this though the mormon church is growing like a virus because like the mormons the way they do it is like you get one new person and that person has to go out and preach for two years or you know like get others to join their the tribe so it's very very very viral with the mormon population growing they love homeschooling so maybe it will really will be a trillion dollar street is ryan the guy who posted this so you're really betting on the mormons here i know that guy ryan del he's cool i think he's mormon oh he's mormon looks like it i think he's from utah he looks like me it looks boring okay let me give you some other ones designer babies which i think is basically gene editing which i think was like it was one of the most common things in this list i'm doing it right now we're doing it right now you're doing what gene editing yeah look i don't know if that's considered but we have my family we have this gene in our family where if you have that genetic or gene you're gonna little likelihood it that you have breast cancer incredibly high and so we're freezing our embryos so we know that it won't have that that jean oh wow and i know that so you're like selecting embryos that don't have it basically yeah it's called the background jean it's remember how angelina the jolie got her breast removed no i didn't know that but sure well she did a lot of women do it preemptively because that if you have this gene i believe it's an eighty percent chance that you're gonna get breast cancer it's very common amongst jewish folks oh wow and so anyway we got that done so now our children are gonna have that and so yeah it's pretty awesome and they we're loud like we're able to pick more features but we're not if what what could you pick i don't know everything because we like just were like no don't we're not gonna pick anything other than that but you can for sure can do sex and a few more things and was it even a discussion of like we should pick or no we should pick other things or no no create super baby it wasn't even discussion well i i i wanted to do it but it was a it was a no go with sarah so we didn't even we weren't even discussing it and does this cost a lot of money to it to do what you did probably forty grand i think i we didn't have to pay for it it was a per of her company holy shit and you both have to do something or just like a woman freezing her egg has to it it's an embryo so they i think i don't want someone listening to be like oh he's doesn't always he's talking about to be honest this is like her project like so i'm kinda going along the flow basically to give you all a lot of information my semen and her egg they're gonna put it together and freeze fertilized yeah so i have to go to a doctor and i have to come out of the bathroom being very ashamed and embarrassed and everyone knows that what i just did they should get you a video of the sperm and the egg meeting for the first time they should capture that on video i'm just charge you an extra five grid for that okay so let me use some other ones everyone knows my personal life they know they know my net worth they know where i live they know but by biggest know was really funny so i tweeted at this random thing which i i said i've moved twenty five percent of my net worth i just said i moved twenty five percent into bitcoin and someone says how much no no i this is nobody asked how much what happened was this this is like really i was obviously the embarrassing and random these random crypto news websites started publishing stories oh sean p former ceo of be twitch direct senior director announces that he's moved twenty five percent of his net worth and into it's a bitcoin dot com publishes this decrypt dot com publishes this so then all these random crypto people start following we on twitter and there's basically two responses one is like wow this is such a sign of things to come oh my god the other one is of twenty five percent that's it you pussy and so like there's like a crypto people are like you dude you need to be a hundred percent twenty five percent so funny for multiple reasons it's first they think that you're smart enough to know what you're talking about which is not exactly it's it's didn't think i'm rich enough for this even is like a notable event like and so then there's a subreddit it so somebody sent me this subreddit crypto subreddit where they're discussing it they post every time like for example this old insurance company mass mutual put a hundred million dollars into bitcoin right or you know jpmorgan just came out and said about six hundred billion could flow into bitcoin so they they post news articles they comment on it so somebody posted this one and they're commenting and then they're like trying to figure out what is my net worth they're like well senior directors is actually not that high of a role on amazon like i i think he's making a million dollars max tops but then again he might have been there for a few years and my you know the stock price has gone up and they're like really trying to figure out and i just wanna be like hey guys guys i have nowhere near as rich as people like somebody was like this the the bitcoin went up like four or five percent since i tweeted that and they're like my by my calculations he's up five million dollars i was like no i didn't put in five million dollars so so i'm definitely not up five million dollars on five percent here so that's really embarrassing and i i wish i could just but you have that much clout is retracted at all no no this is like fake cloud i feel like i lied to people but i didn't i didn't want any of this i was just saying i'm i'm buying thick code for myself i didn't like try to be like some fucking hit well you're being troll a little bit but it was true i did do it but it's just not that notable like it's not like it's notable to me and my friends not like to the industry did they call you a podcast host no and the the thing is i think a lot of people think i was this a of the original bib which sold for eight hundred fifty millions so people were like oh bib so hundred fifty million they don't know that like that was michael and z and then we bought it back and i was a ceo we sold for much less you know this time so so people got it all wrong but whatever well let's what are more same alt replies okay so some good ones carbon credit trading so basically as governments mandate you know as we try to like fight climate change one of the biggest ways we're gonna fight climate changes by putting restrictions so how much carbon emissions a company can produce which is going to cause companies to have to invest and basically carbon offsets in carbon credit trading in a bigger way than they do today alright so i like that one here's some interesting ones that i think were less obvious five minute cities we've talked about this which is like these designer planned communities where everything is you know walking within five minutes so not it not any one would be worth trillion dollars but that that as a whole could be worth trillion dollars i thought that was interesting i don't know about that by the way ai generated video entertainment so basically like ai just creating netflix movies basically like just like the way we were showing gp three can create text eventually it'll create you know already actually you could do ai generated images videos and they'll just get better and better ed so ai generated video entertainment i thought was kinda cool which could also be like personalized to you i buy that by the way okay do you know what n entities are no n t n is a crypto thing that stands for non fungi token so fungi basis like like my bitcoin and your bitcoin or the they're essentially the same there's no difference between any bitcoin no no bitcoin is worth more than any other bitcoin right that's because bitcoin is fungi but then there's non fungi things which are basically just like the equivalent of collectible bills right trading cards where there's only you know one trading card is different than another trading card there are no two same you know there could be only end number of the same things and so some people believe that digital art will be this way and i i kinda started going down this right rabbit a hole i'm not ready to come back up for air with findings but some very interesting shit is going on in the digital art world what does that mean exactly because when we talked about trading cards the day you me and jack kinda shit on this but you are all about these digital sports cards tell me but what we you think about this digital i wanna say all about them but i thought it's interesting you liked it a little bit more than we did true the digital art stuff that's happening is basically someone creates a digital thing like it could be like a small animation it could just be like a picture that they made in photoshop or whatever right but they put it on the blockchain and so you know that there's only one of this item let's artists create these i'll show you like but why can't i just screenshot it i'll show you a seventy five million dollar digital art thing that just sold who bought it i don't know so i was talking to a guy who's in this world maybe seven five million of overstate i thought it was said maybe it's seven point five i'm not sure but basically okay here here's a million dollar one so i'm post this in the chat so a piece of crypto artwork sold for a million dollars of valentine's it's a digital photo of a red rose sold to a group of ten collectors who split the cost evenly in cryptocurrency the project is called the forever rose and blah blah blah i personally think a lot of this stuff is manipulated like i think in order to get the hype train going for digital art i think people are buying these at ridiculously high prices because they either have skin in the game of the underlying platforms that these are on like open sea is a as a platform that these are on or they're just like kind of trading it back and forth at these high prices in order to get all their their underlying digital art collection to be worth more because if people perceive it to be worth a lot then they might invest as well so basically there are just little animated graphics or photos that are crypto photographic signed which means you know that there's only one of this piece of art and you are the original owner and you hold it authentically pop is really big in the digital art by the way he think he owns quite a bit of digital art and is like he's talked about how that's you know kind of like his big bet that he has coming i wanna do like a whole full section this because i'm only scratching the surface but that was one of the things people brought up as a potential trillion dollar industry i'm interested i'm interested i'm interested next one nuclear fusion slash i don't know shit about that so a couple of clean kinda like technologies so energy or water desalination which is basically take its salt out of water so she can it make make drinkable water out of the ocean modular housing i don't know exactly what the person meant by this but i think it's like i love modular changing the way the construction is done modular homes i'm all about them when i was get a kid my grandparents lived in one we it's called a trailer home modular home is the nicer way to put it yeah i think they're cool then the other one was protein design so that's the last one we'll talk about did you did we already talk about this the protein folding thing that happened no so deep mind which is a ai company that google bought for five hundred million dollars released a thing that said they're there every year there's this competition about protein folding so i'll just do kind of a thirty second nerdy explanation of this so basically we know about dna this is what dna is we know what amino acids are which are the building blocks of proteins and proteins is what actually gets shit done in the body right so let's say you wanna a virus wants to you know attach to a cell there are these like protein receptors basically a protein is the thing that allows functions to happen in a in a human body it's how like all processes of the body work is proteins working together but the thing about proteins is even though we know the genetic sequence of the protein we know what amino acids make it up we don't know the shape of it and the shape is super important because the shape is kinda like a lock and key it's how things connect it's how they interact and so unless you know the shape of the protein you can't edit a protein you can't create proteins you can't do anything and protein folding has been this really hard thing because it's not just like a shape like a square or a triangle it's like you know this three d super complicated tangled little not looking thing and so for like twenty years there's been this competition every year that basically any team from anywhere the world that can sign up to join and what they do is they give you twenty sequences and you have to guess the shape you have to propose what the folded shape will be and you would get scored like on a scale of one to a hundred hundred being the most accurate of how you did and so for like many years like the highest score was whatever let's call i think like a sixty or something like that and nobody really had broken above like sixty sixty five or something like that for like last twenty years and then this year deep mind got to like ninety and it was like deep mind basically broke through they won the special award for winning the competition and the way that they broke through was because they basically trained their machine learning algorithms to on existing folding sequences is to learn what a new sequence might fold look like fold and so this has big implications because if we can if we can know how it's like if you know what the code looks like at what it's gonna look like when it's folded then you could just change the code and you'll change the fold and so that means you can create proteins which can fight diseases they can make you stronger faster whatever right like this is how gonna be able to edit this prize but brain you try to look this up so look up protein folding challenge i figure forgot what the name of the competition is it's like a four letter acronym it's like a long long problem with the protein folding problem is what they called it and nobody had that been able to solve this before we're i don't know what the monetary prize i think it's love i actually think the more interesting part is these prizes i already remember when i was a kid i think this is still around we had this thing called x prize so i know about the x price so this guy peter dia i don't know you his name and somebody else created the xp prize and there's many types of prices the first most i know if this first most popular one i i know that got a lot of play was the lunar x right and lunar x price said you win i think it was twenty million dollars created maybe it was a hundred million i can't remember google like matched it and like kind of like up the ante but the lunar the lunar prize basically it said if any team can achieve this and they just set a specific benchmark it's like you gotta get into space at this get to this this far off of earth using x y z right they set out the parameters and then like twenty different teams went competed for it each team kind of invested like two million dollars or four million dollars in like building their thing trying to win the twenty million dollar prize and so what ended up happening was you had you ended up with twenty times four million so you ended up with eighty million got invested to win a twenty million dollar prize so it was this cool way of like stimulating innovation i love these types of surprises this this other company that i i don't know too much about but i i just know the concept and it's a it's a billion dollar company at hacker one do you know hacker one i've heard it and i just know kinda of what there's a coding challenges that that you win prices for something i know very little about this so take everything this particular segment with a greatest salt but they issue prizes or money to hacker or to hackers and says like find the weakness in our website vulnerabilities find why this can't work and you get a prize bra you saying there's not a prize but there's some type of incentive i think this is so cool i love these ideas it's a publicity stunt but i actually think that it's one of the best ways in order to i think it's a really great way to get new innovations yeah for sure i think it's great i actually have said this before i think somebody should bake this for companies i think companies try to innovate inside and they're they're pretty slow and bad at it but if instead it's sort of like a lot of people start to start up today hoping they get bought by a bigger company and they would love to get like a five million dollar payout and so instead what if you know facebook or google or snapchat or whatever put out a prize and said hey whoever can build the coolest video editing you know software win the five million dollar prize it's sort of like a guaranteed acquisition so i think somebody should build a platform for companies to be able to put these out consulting companies and not especially non innovative industries like insurance companies or whatever to say hey if anybody can reduce our fraud rate here's a dataset set if you can reduce our fraud rate by this amount whoever gets the best fraud you know fraud detection wins a three million dollar prize you know you get a bunch of cool smart people to go after it and were you saying that verizon has spent ten million and on their bounty program probably through hacker one i would assume so anyways the but the i was gonna say does deep mind thing they're the ones who did the the go thing it was called alpha go where they beat the world's best go player they sort of solve the game of go before that they solved you know chess got solved first then go which is a more complicated game than chess and now protein folding their thing is called alpha fold it's basically say the same kind of group of people working on this and they're meant to do that and the other interesting thing that i heard about this was that deep mind which got bought for five hundred million i think has contributed they used deep mine on google adsense like to improve ad you know ad optimization and i think it's generated like billions of dollars of value for google already outside of these like kind of fun moonshot projects because at first i was like damn they really bought this five hundred million dollar thing who created deep there's a scientist guy i have forgot his name but yeah just a bunch of really smart ai ai phd types deep mine is an awesome company name yeah awesome awesome awesome name yeah for sure i love that name that is one of the coolest names i love names like via com black rock deep mind pal i love these babe i love these days it's way better than like casually macho table yeah i love dave's like that my next company i'm gonna name it like like some i feel half field and boss or other like titanium boss yeah do you know jordan be yeah the wolf of wall street the wolf wall street he named his company strat oak and someone's like why'd did you name it there he's like i don't no i just made it the strongest it just not a strong like he's like it's nothing it's it says two words there's a few things like that what's his name andrew warner had a company and he named it like two names like two men names he's like what are those names he's like i don't know i just thought that people would take anderson more seriously and then the other name was something other it that's like you know in these tv shows gossip girl like all the characters but won't they wanna be like rich kids they're like blair waldorf you know nate arch or they like serena vendor or would said it's like they create these like old money type names and so yeah if i was gonna do like some agency some consulting thing all i would definitely try to have some powerful you know rockefeller style name well this episode of shit but brady let me tell you something about sean are you listening to you i'm always listening i wanna tell you a text that sean sent my wife the other day okay it said it was all they were it's about to go down they were having she didn't even tell me like i looked over and i was like wait what are you guys talking about like can i saw our giggling they were having like a massive conversation all about the tv show the challenge and like apparently sarah texted him saying like hey just you know the new challenges on what did you think and a child helping a brother out giving me the heads up and then sean reply with like okay here's my take this person they're wrong this other person there something bad gonna happen i have to know what is your opinion about x y z and this like i take reality tv very seriously i i am especially the challenge the challenge you know just incredible incredible show he was like kudos to for winning i've never met anyone else who watches the challenge i watch it the fact that you and your wife watch it was like mind blowing to me because i this is like a secret i was like a closet fan right because it's such a trash show that i never met anyone who watches that was the whole point of bla wasn't it it was like you wanted to discuss trash tv with your friends well i thought that would be one use case for sure i had seen this thing that what's her name maria man or something she was like this e yeah hollywood extra person like cto host she created this thing called after buzz tv had you heard of this no i thought this was a great idea i don't think it ever took off because i think it's only for like hardcore nerds like me on on tv shows but basically what she did was she created a youtube network where it was as soon as a show was over they would go on after buzz and they would discuss the show and they did it for every reality tv show or survivor and the challenge and real house lives and the kardashians whatever and they had basically like kind of like and all these shows themselves are like deli list c list shows and so then you can get the like former cast members to come on because they ain't doing shit anymore right they're they're still clinging to the fact that they were on like season thirty three of survivor and so they're like have a survivor podcast so basically they would have them come on and and basically talk about the show right afterwards and i don't know about you but like for me whenever i watch any show game of thrones or whatever when the show ends like i'm not done like the that the high is just like beginning and i need to like debrief it with somebody right and like for the most part my wife doesn't like the same shitty tv i do so i go to the internet to be like alright reddit podcasts like what do people think about these shows let's discuss so i thought after bose was a great idea and i was like oh this is smart you put it on youtube you're gonna be able to build a big following across all these different little shows probably cheap to produce but i don't think it ever really took off i think ryan is was like some investor or something but i don't think ever took off you know what we use now and by the way i like the challenge show i i'm invested i think it's a great it's great show by the way i'm almost positive it's one of the most popular shows i don't know even what the definition of tv is anymore but it's one of the more watch it it wins it's it's it's time slot on cable so again i went to the reddit after the episode to discuss and one of the posts there was the nielsen charts and it basically showed okay for the eighteen the thirty four demographic the challenge is the number one show on cable during the yeah it's like super watch i mean so there's a lot of people who watch it but not usually smart people like do you any other friends watch this thing i don't i don't well that's not the problem this is maybe i do the thing is i've never been confident enough to say that i watch it right in public but no not all of my friends are door you don't even have cable but but after the show that's what we turn to is reddit we go to reddit all the time right when i was watching that chest thing about that woman like the part or finger girl who won the chest tournament queen's scam yep yeah i loved it i like immediately went to reddit and i was like tell me all about this like who's who are the real characters by like who who yes exactly so reddit is the place for me for that yeah my wife just uses me she's watching the crown which i don't have any interest in and she's just like oh my god is this real who's that she just keeps asking me to google shit i'm like y i'm leaving the room like not only do i wanna watch the show i definitely don't wanna be your google bitch during the you watching the show to look up every aspect sarah does that with me too i'm like sarah we have the same amount of knowledge we've been we both sat here for twenty minutes i don't what you know but i was asking her about the princess dying stuff i'm like wait who's that guy oh they're not married anymore wait why is you know what's weird about the monarch or whatever they call the thing in in england is why is one person not made the king what's the queen mother mean literally this is what i was googling for her yesterday sir why is why is she called queen mother what is queen mother yeah i'm like i don't get it like they just skipped over this person like that's weird what's going on with that also i'm like this is the kardashians of the old school era like i don't care about this family or what they represent and that's another point i'm like why do you guys care about these people they have zero power but people really care dude people really care for some reason i don't i have no understanding of it but people really care i think they signed the magna carta in twelve fifteen okay monarch hasn't had like a say in anything for centuries i don't know why anyone cares that's just a history bomb i just dropped i'm pretty sure that's the exact year magna carta was signed in twelve fifteen another sam p putin par just knows knows about the magna carta as well sam do you have five minutes extra that we can go over or no because i feel like we didn't give the people what they needed in this episode so i kinda feel like we can give them two ideas brady did i just impress you by knowing when the magna carta was assigned yeah i was like there's no way he got this let's do one of these other ideas so i a couple of this bunch of different things on this list pick one that you think people would want let me pull it up i just been looking at you all the time these are what they call make goods where we gotta make good because i was just bullshit about shit for too long cameo the best one okay cameo did you see this do so basically cameo came out think cameo came out and said it where somebody else came out and said it that kevin malone from the office don't know his real name brad or something like that has made over a million dollars on cameo in twenty twenty yeah you had a funny line about that you said it's like the new something yeah i called it social security celebrities right you retire but like here's your little payout you get every month for the rest of your career just because you put in that work once upon a time yeah you had gilbert god for call me on my birthday to call me a douche bag i didn't tell to call you that he just decided to do that that's the problem with cam you don't know what the fuck they're gonna say so you know they go rogue but but yeah so so they got me be thinking i was like okay what's what this cam think so so couple opportunities one there's a bunch of countries where cameo is not popular and if you're sitting in like russia or you know indonesia right now the most branded idea you could do is create you know cameo for your country right now and just try to win the land grab before cam is gonna get there because they're gonna go us europe and then india next i think is their they're their next market so i think that's just like one idea second idea there's somebody brought this up i think his name nigh n i don't know you say his name n i a l l he goes i'm surprised that disney isn't doing their own version of cameo where they just take their characters and you just pay to have elsa say happy birthday to your daughter and i was like oh my fucking god this is this should be a part of disney plus this is a genius idea you have these characters that could work twenty four seven take zero cut and have incredible brand value with people especially for the use case of cameo which i don't know how other people use it i use it for like birthday shout outs and funny goofy stuff and like i think that if you had ip like disney or you could substitute disney for like i don't know blizzard and they could do this world the warcraft characters it doesn't matter cameo can you just train your characters to basically say these sentences to get the voice actor a say sentences and they just have to like be able to shout out a name or whatever right that to me was like a just an absolute gold idea for those companies yeah i i'm board with that i think it's great we've talked about virtual or i don't know what you wanna call them fake influencers right i think that's wonderful love it so if you're if you're if you go if you work at disney plus or you have a cousin that's has you know head of marketing at one of these companies just tell them to put nia name on this idea because i think that's a that is gonna make a lot of money and somebody's gonna do it for sure one of the other sort of cameo ideas that are out there do you do you have any other ideas about like i guess what do you make of this as this thing continues to grow well i think it's great i've done it many times i i did it with sarah for people on the challenge so i had nelson johnny bananas oh nelson i had nelson say something i think it's great i know should pay you that guy's a clown well that's your opinion but i paid him two hundred dollars to say what's i think that i think that with this type of business here's my gut my gut is that cameo has won this and i wouldn't actually wanna go into the space i think that these types of marketplaces are absolutely a land grab and that cameo has like this is cameo it's one of the thing this is one of the rare businesses that the name really matters i think that name is perfect it's already become a word know what i mean like just get uber even if you get a lift i wouldn't wanna enter this because i think cam is gonna crush i think cameo will be a multi billion dollar company they are are they probably are right i don't know if they've reached a billion and there's a lot of people who are really skeptical of them by the way because they're like you you know this is not like a high repeat purchase you know thing that that people will necessarily do so you know there's a lot of question marks about cameo as well so i wouldn't i would not say it's like a no brainer that it's just like gonna win and gonna win big i think they're like three hundred four hundred million valuation or something like that i think it's a no brainer that it's gonna be a big business defined as over five hundred million dollar company and it we'll make hundreds of millions in revenue probably nice okay i wanna tell you about something related so this guy dm me this guy martin his twitter han martin g l so he made this thing called only fans metrics dot com oh yeah he sent that to me too he's called it a bare metrics for only fans how don't do that really makes sense but whatever it's fine it's pretty interesting so he's got about five hundred only fans models here with their estimates of how much they make and basically you can go and touch someone's one's name and if they have they'll show it if they don't they'll request it so for example i did it with this girl who's on the challenge kayla right do you remember kayla from the challenge she's like kind of like whatever a hot outgrow girl on the challenge she's is making a hundred thirty three thousand dollars a month on only fans which is insane right that's you know and i believe it because another guy from the challenge west oh yeah i know her she she hooked up with bayer yeah she's on only fans she's on only fans hundred thirty three k month bayer is also on only fans and he is it have to get kicked off because he uploaded a sex tape of somebody else without their permission is it nude like only fans is all naked right of these mandatory to be needed but i mean that's why people pay for more than what you can get on instagram right so first a few few numbers this guy whose tweet here is not not actually i don't think accurate but basically only fans does they do over a billion dollars total revenue including what they pay out to creators so i think it's i think it's two billion dollars that they pay out their take on the whole thing but between one and two billion their take is four hundred million and their profit is three hundred million according to this article that came out from the information and that that's actually may believable because i'll so companies typically have two like one are the two highest costs at a company typically employees and marketing yes and i think if you're only fans you probably can't like you can't spend i don't think they're are a allowed of advertise in google they're probably not able to advertise on facebook creators advertise right the hot girls go advertise hey join my only fans because they're it's very much like twitch twitch doesn't spend a ton of money on facebook ads right because the creators themselves go post everywhere saying hey come watch me and that's a great advertising because they already have a file and on their linkedin they're listed as having like their company profiles says they're between fifteen two hundred people and there's three hundred and eighty eight employees on linkedin who say they work at only fans so if they the let's say let's say they have three hundred employees times a hundred and fifty thousand dollars per head all in that cost the company that's only forty five oh wait that's forty five million dollars in in payroll costs and and in health care and things like that i think most of their employees are not in the united states also so i think their costs are are lower general but let's just be let's just be let's just go on the high end though forty five million dollars they probably don't have too many marketing yeah i believe that those numbers could be in the in the realm of how would you take advantage of this so ben gave me this idea he goes i'm surprised that more digital agencies kinda like social media marketing agencies or whatever ad agencies don't pivot or create an extra arm which is basically just growth for only fans creator so what you do is you go to it only fans fence creator alright today you make thirty grand a month or ten grand a month whatever it is but i see that you have a big following you're just not converting enough people yet so let's do this i will work for you i'll help grow your only fans but it's like an income share agreement i get fifteen percent of every you know monthly subscriber every every every thousand dollars you make in at monthly subscribers and so it's like an is for only fans creators you basically help them market themselves by either teaching them things or actually putting paid budget behind it right because you're gonna say look if i put in this much dollars behind this creator targeting their own audience already just on facebook ads then i can generate this type of return or snapchat ads or whatever you'd you have to find the line of where you can advertise and watch you can advertise but i i bet you there is a lot of money to be made just helping these creators earn more money and so instead of being you know agency number ten million of like helping brands do facebook ads you could be agency number one of helping only brands creators make more money i think it's awesome i like that a lot do you remember in the like two thousand ten to two thousand and fifteen there was these businesses that what would they do what there was a name for the category and a lot of them fail but they were called maker studio maker studio was one of multi multi channel networks on youtube network multi channel network mc i would have to look into why those fail they probably fail because the creators were like well why do i need you but i do actually think that those types of things add a lot of value and i think they can be done well that but that's another category or of business that could probably be applied to only fans and some type of capacity i mean this is kinda lame but they're right but all the houses that tiktok houses and all that stuff it totally works it is so effective so i like those types of things i like them a lot okay in this vein and i know very little about this but this is another one i'm gonna wanna do a deep dive on do you know who the health boys are yeah they're basically four guys is a four guys i think they got i don't remember the first platform maybe youtube and they originally just did prank like for example a cop would pull them over and then they would say like why are you driving like that he was oh i well i have a ton of coke in the back of the car and the cop would be like you're telling me you have coke in your car like put your hands up and it was coca cola in the car or they would drive like they would drive while drinking and like are you like i'm drinking a beer and it was a non alcoholic beer and so they're just kind of like douche bag but they're funny so they i think they're kind of a very interesting group they're sort of like to me they're like the modern day jackass in a way right so jackass grew on the mtv platform but if you're if you're doing jackass today you know screw mtv you don't need mtv you need tiktok you need youtube you need like instagram you need only fans you need stuff like that right those are the platforms you would grow on and i think they like these guys by the way went on air force one or something crazy they have a lot of power right now so they're kind of this bro du brand but it works and they're they're sort of like i i would call them the next bar stool and so i think they're more popular so for example they do these merch drops where they just release you know basic ass hoodie that says like full sand or you know that's the phrase full they're always sold out went to the website you can't buy a thing if you just come sort of like triangulate between some numbers they've said they said you know during their drops they have a hundred thousand people on the website trying to buy a hundred thousand people on the website trying to buy is one of the most insane like e commerce numbers you can get to i i think they're doing between one and three million dollars per drop that they do in merch and i think you know they're spending zero on customer acquisition for right that's just like their own audience who's going and buying shit in addition they have something called the send club or something like that which is basically their girl's gone wild so they're also recreating girls gone file is basically like the x rated videos of their parties that you can't they can't post on instagram and youtube and you pay to be a member and you get to watch basically you know girls in a wild two point out and i'm like fuck my i'm on it i'm on their site it's it's club dot full ascend dot com i'm looking they're looking up at their traffic on similar web and it says they have over a million unique a month on the club website club dot fa send dot com it's their send club so i really wanna invest in in help boys so i'm i'm trying to hunt down so if anybody out there can introduce me i would love to write a blank check into the help boys because i think that they are very smart and i think that they are i don't know if they're very smart they're what they're doing is very smart so i assume somebody involved is very that let's say let's say it's very effective exactly i think it is very effective what they're doing i think it can be very big and i think that yeah this is this is a brand i wanna invest in so i'm trying to find a way into the boys i have no idea how to how to get them a five hundred k check but that's what i wanna do is just hand them one so so i think these guys are very impressive they're doing a bunch of different things i watched a live stream of them on twitch where they were do they're doing high stakes gambling every night where they basically load like twenty thousand dollars into an account on a crypto bidding site and then they bring in celebrities so they'll have like wrappers join them the one i was watching dana white know a kind of notorious gambler the guy who runs e joined them and they played blackjack in won fifty five thousand dollars and twenty minutes and then they called it quits i just think that they are very entertaining in a way that like it's like vice entertainment you and i think that their people want to watch f and i i think that these guys are are doing a great job of building out audience are doing this so i think that that would be a maybe a smart bet in terms of making money i would not invest them because this is just goes against when i like not that i'm saying it i'm i sound like i'm doing this moral thing and i'm like no like it it it's not necessarily bad if if that's what you're into i just think that these guys are degenerate and i wouldn't wanna be part of it but at the same time i definitely watch this stuff because it's impossible not for every sc that's investing in an esports team you should not be doing that you should have invested in this like if i compare the investments that people have made into a hundred thieves or face face plan and stuff like that versus this i think it is this is such a better bet and those have these like really frothy valuations that will come crashing down soon enough and so so anyway i this is really i think it's really interesting with never heard of these guys because i'm like you know out of touch and i'm thirty two and have a kid like i don't know about what's going on with this stuff but ben was educating me about this and the more i read i was like wow this is really impressive the following and the commerce that they're doing okay but i just found something even more interesting so if you go to club dot full send dot com it's their website and they're making a lot of money off it i could just look at the traffic and tell but at the very bottom it says powered by sub yes i googled sub and there's very little information about them on the internet what i think would be interesting that you should do i'm not investing at the moment but i think you should do that sub it looks like sub was maybe built just for logan paul and just for a a handful of youtubers i would holler at the sub people and see what's up with them it looks like they power maverick club so apparently logan paul has a club they power the send boys and they power they might power they power only fans i don't think so but if they did that's crazy well they have their load that logo on their website i would contact that company maybe and figure out what's going on with them because when i googled them there was nothing about them and that's always interesting yes i agree this is sort of like this payment layer tech payments is hard but it is interesting and it's interesting why they're using them versus anybody else i wonder if these guys they go into more gray area businesses probably then patreon will let you do or stripe will let you do or where you know whatever else i would look to sub whatever that is that is like a bunch of flags went off when i saw that i'm like these guys are shady something's going on but that's always kind of intriguing right okay cool i think that's that's good for today i think i think we we saved it did we save it brand you i honestly thought it was good even before the extra stuff i thought it was pretty funny i thought it was pretty random i think we should call it the random episode i think you we should be like we just ran talk about a bunch of random stuff this episode there was a a review a were you on itunes where they said to bring you on more because they want a third opinion on some things do you see what people said about you yeah i think they said i was very smart or intelligent more of a great something like like we don't know what he looks like but he's probably really good looking agreed it's actually me leaving those comments maybe alright thank you for listening so yeah
