  Speaker 3: it's not just your comedy shows. So Splew does this
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: thing and you'll see it on your feed. I think
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: it's someone else's video and they'll do whatever, and then
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: he does the reactions to it. But the thing is,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I'm already reacting to the videos in his tone, not
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: knowing that it's his video that he's gonna pop up,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, I should send this to him
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: beause it would be something he would do. And he
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: literally pops up and he's like, no, because.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Regular. I'm a regular dude. Listen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I come from the hood, right, and I'm that one
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: hood dude that always cut ass on people, always was
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: making fun of When he arrived, you knew he was
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: gonna have fun with this guy. Any car ride to

• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and how to fortify that into a business.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, nowadays I feel like the first step is

• 17:15
  Speaker 6: create an LLC, find a way to how to make
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: money with it, you know. Yeah, So that that's what

  Speaker 6: non to help me. See, it's just like we could,

  Speaker 3: That's solid advice.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like everyone figured out how to create

  Speaker 4: an LLC when there.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Going on My boy, everybody became an exper You have
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: a dream. As soon as you said that, here you go.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anything you can think of LLC, that's us.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I just like how you're opening the doors for other
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: people to and bringing you know, others around and uplifting
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: other people and helping open doors for other people that
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: necessarily didn't open for you essentially in the beginning.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: So I mean, you know, I sat down with someone
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: he's an investor, and he was like, I wanted to
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: you know, I sat down and I had a plan
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: what I wanted.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: You know, I did it right, man.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: I came prepared, and he was just like, man, everything
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: is right. It's just Latinos don't support each other. Yeah
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: he was a Jewish guy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, straight up.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: And he was like, Latinos don't support each other until
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: you blow up. So what do I look like investing
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: all his money on you? You don't blow up, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: then now I lost all his money?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: And he's like, I'm gonna be honest with.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: You because people like yourself is why we have new millionaires,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: because it'll be someone like yourself, you know, that would
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: just take the risk invest and they probably don't care
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: to lose thirty forty thousand dollars. He's like, I do
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: because I'm doing that several times, so I don't want to.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: I don't want to take the risk. And I just
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: thought like, damn, that sucks, you know. So right now
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: I'm in eyes that I didn't think I was gonna be.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: I'm in places that I didn't I was going to be.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: So when people be like, you know, I'm gonna let
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: you do the stress factory. Bet, I'm bringing my people
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: with me, but you could do by yourself, bet, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: I want to bring my people with me because I
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: want my people to feel the same like I did
