- 2:23SPEAKER_04: So uh, all right, I want to give everyone a backstory.
- 2:26SPEAKER_04: Jacob, so we haven't had Andy on, and I want to get Andy on.
- 2:32SPEAKER_04: So we're gonna do an episode LAP.
- 2:34SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna do 12 interviews, five minutes a pop, super quick.
- 2:38SPEAKER_04: And I want to see if Andy wants to be one of them.
- 2:40SPEAKER_04: So you're gonna get a five-minute clip with Andy, probably on shorts on the YouTube channel, and then uh on the long form too, and then maybe we'll get him on.
- 2:47SPEAKER_04: But I remember being at EOS Fitness, I was at the gym and working out, and I got a DM, and it's from Andy.
- 2:53SPEAKER_04: And Andy's like, uh, my boy goes to your gym, and you just sent me your car, and he's just like one day, I was like, What?
- 3:00SPEAKER_04: And that's how it all kicked off because we both had the same goal for a dream car, and he's on GTR.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we were at the gym, me and my boy, and and then uh you met Louise.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: Yes, sir.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: Dude, did you see the GTR outside?
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: I think that was the day we saw it, and I was like, No, what the fuck?
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: There's a GTR outside, and then when we walked out, I took a picture, and that's yeah, that's what I said one day.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: And uh sure enough, Andy was like, Yo, I know who that is, and say what?
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: Sent that over to you.
- 3:25SPEAKER_04: That's fucking what's up, dude.
- 3:26SPEAKER_04: We're just small, it's such a small world.
- 3:29SPEAKER_04: If you get into the one thing I will say about in in today's episode, we're gonna be talking about cars, his life, what he does profession, he has some merch on.
- 3:37SPEAKER_04: It's gonna be a dope episode.
- 3:38SPEAKER_04: And the one thing about car culture, and I think I think probably just the GTR is one of the main ones.
- 3:43SPEAKER_04: I know they have like Ferrari, Lamborghini type of like groups and like car clubs and people that talk and what have you, but like I would say the GTR, like the family are it's pretty tough.
- 3:53SPEAKER_04: Like, you go on Instagram, we have our chat, you go on Facebook, they have different chats, they have four cell groups, they have Nissan GTRs just for sale or parts, or or just you know, people of Arizona.
- 4:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so I mean, I don't know what do you think about the community of the GTR community?
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: It's different, a lot different from the VQ, it's smaller.
- 4:11SPEAKER_04: Um, right, so you so you had basically the baby GTR.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a lot of people know me from the VQ scene, so I'm not too familiar with the like the GTR community as much because like I said, it's a smaller community with the VQ community.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: It's you got a big freaking crowd, bro.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: And like most of my following on everywhere is like the VQ scene.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: That's how everybody knew me was by the G.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: Well, I started with uh a Nissan Ultima.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: That was my first Nissan.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: Hey, let's go, Nissan Ultima.
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: And we all start somewhere though, yeah.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: And you know what year it was?
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: It was a 2013.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, same as the GTR 2013.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Then I went to a 350Z.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Well, and I went to the Lexus at uh uh GS300, then I went to uh the 350Z and then the G37, and then now we're at GTR.
- 4:58SPEAKER_04: At the GTR.
- 4:59SPEAKER_04: I love it.
- 4:59SPEAKER_04: Hey, just the baby steps, right?
- 5:01SPEAKER_04: I mean, my first car was a freaking, it was a Saturn, bro.
- 5:04SPEAKER_04: You remember those cars?
- 5:05SPEAKER_04: They don't even make those anymore.
- 5:06SPEAKER_04: It was a GM product, it was a Saturn SL2, it was a four-door, kind of looked like a jelly belly or some shit, like a jelly bean, and my aunt gave it to me for free, bro.
- 5:16SPEAKER_04: Dude, that was my first car.
- 5:18SPEAKER_04: You're like, you had to get it somewhere, you know?
- 5:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah, 100%.
- 5:20SPEAKER_04: So I crashed that shit and fucked up the subframe.
- 5:23SPEAKER_04: And all the money I was saving to actually buy a car, I felt so bad.
- 5:27SPEAKER_04: I don't know if I even said this before.
- 5:28SPEAKER_04: Um, sorry, Aunt Carla, but I felt so bad that I was like, fuck, I gotta put this money in the fixing the subframe because I can't tell my aunt she just gave me a car that I crashed it.
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I crashed it in the rain because it was front-wheel drive and it slid straight into a curb.
- 5:41SPEAKER_04: I was like, damn, fucked up the whole front end.
- 5:43SPEAKER_04: But uh man, 2013 Ultima to a 200 freaking 13 GTR.
- 5:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah, regular Ultima to a spicy Ultima.
- 5:50SPEAKER_04: And they say that though.
- 5:51SPEAKER_04: They say the GTR is basically just an Ultima.
- 5:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you see some of the fucking some of the memes and shit.
- 5:56SPEAKER_04: They just put Ultima in the back of the GTR.
- 5:58SPEAKER_04: 2.5 SR and shit.
- 5:59SPEAKER_04: 2.5 SR.
- 6:01SPEAKER_04: That's fucking hilarious, dude.
- 6:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:03SPEAKER_04: I mean, I think the whole Nissan lineup is just super dope.
- 6:06SPEAKER_04: I think they got had really good cars.
- 6:08SPEAKER_04: Um, your old Infinity was super sick, and you had a lot of like that, the headlights and a lot of the things that you did.
- 6:14SPEAKER_04: I could tell that the influence came from the GTR.
- 6:16SPEAKER_04: Like that was your goal.
- 6:18SPEAKER_04: So it's kind of almost like your baby GTR before you actually had it, if I like.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, with the G37, I did a lot more like cosmetics.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: So I feel like with this car, I just did the wing risers that you see.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: And um the front hood.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: That's all I did.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: And wheels.
- 6:33SPEAKER_00: That's much of the cosmetics I did, but with the wrap's pretty dope too.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: When you change color, yeah.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: With the G37, I did like the front bump.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: I literally did the whole front bumper, some custom bumper, IPL rear bumper.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: Uh I never got the size skirts I wanted to, though.
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I got the hood too, the trunk, dude.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: I damn.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I went crazy with that car for six and a half years.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: I was just modifying that shit.
- 6:55SPEAKER_04: Dude, he had a whole Instagram page and everything.
- 6:57SPEAKER_04: He had to update his Instagram page handle because he didn't have just kept it the same, dude.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I freaking changed it.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
- 7:05SPEAKER_04: I mean, can you always go back or leave it?
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: I can always change it back, but yeah, it is what it is.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: And everybody knows me by now.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: I just changed the number from 35 to 37.
- 7:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: Well, 37, 35, though.
- 7:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so it's like whatever.
- 7:16SPEAKER_04: At the end of the day, it is what it is.
- 7:18SPEAKER_04: But so what happened with that car?
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: You ended up just selling it because it had issues or so I had it for like the time that I mentioned.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: Um I first flew the motor, and um, I mean, dude, it w it was gonna happen because think about it, right?
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: For five years being on it, just well, consequently, just being on it, always being on it, right?
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: And it was tuned, flame maps.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: I didn't know how to act.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: I was being guilty.
- 7:43SPEAKER_04: Um always in it, man.
- 7:44SPEAKER_04: Always in it.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's because I was having too much fun with that car, and then um, but I still did like the maintenance shit with it though.
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: Like I did like the cooling, everything.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Like I had an oil cooler or two, like big radiator, everything you could think of.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: Like, I had that thing specced out to where like I was like, all right, I'm gonna boost it soon.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: So I started getting shit ready to boost it.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: I wanted to buy the turbo kit, I even bought injectors, fuel pumps to go E85, and then the motor blew, and I was like, fuck, dude.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: So then I was like, fine, let's try again.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: And then the transmission blew.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: And then I was like, it's all good.
- 8:19SPEAKER_00: We got a new transmission.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: I got a new transmission, and then the transmission went out again.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Damn, yeah, because on those cars, uh, the CD09s, um, yeah, they tend to over time, like in third gear, start grinding.
- 8:32SPEAKER_00: And I was like, dude, I'm not about to deal with this shit again.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: So I just sold it.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'm I'm spending all this money, why don't I just sell it?
- 8:37SPEAKER_04: I have my GTR and just move on.
- 8:40SPEAKER_04: Interesting.
- 8:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, you gotta you gotta cut your losses at some time.
- 8:43SPEAKER_04: I mean, I remember I had my 72 Chevelle built it up, and I was going to an automotive class in college back in California.
- 8:52SPEAKER_04: So the girl I was dating, so I used to like be a lot attendant, and as I was a lot attendant, she was the front desk chick.
- 8:59SPEAKER_04: And so she had the walkie, and then I had a walkie, and I'd be on dispatch and like, oh, I need you to go pick up blah blah blah, one, two, three car, a lot of different, like just you know, whatever.
- 9:08SPEAKER_04: Like, it was a GM place, so just a lot of like um suburbans and Yukons and Donaleys and trucks and whatever.
- 9:14SPEAKER_04: So we ended up starting dating, and she bought a car for her ex-boyfriend, which was a SRT four Dodge Neon.
- 9:22SPEAKER_04: And I remember the first time I drove that car, I was like, Oh, this is so sick because I had the 72 Chevelle and it always had issues, shit breaking.
- 9:29SPEAKER_04: Dallas helped me out with building this car all through high school.
- 9:32SPEAKER_04: It was a fucking money pit, bro.
- 9:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and uh, I gave it to her, she drove it all the way from it's about 30 to 45 minute drive.
- 9:39SPEAKER_04: So basically, if you know California, I was in Pleasanton and then she went to Pittsburgh, and the linkage was fucked and it wouldn't go in third properly.
- 9:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so she kept it at 4,500 RPMs, overheated the motors, blew the fucking heads on a brand new fucking build, bro.
- 9:53SPEAKER_04: I was so pissed, and I had that little SRT4.
- 9:56SPEAKER_04: I thought I was so cool at the time, sharing it and showing it off, whatever.
- 9:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:59SPEAKER_04: So I I did the heads, the car wouldn't be right when it got hot, and my smart ass thought I would just sell it.
- 10:06SPEAKER_04: Dude, these guys rolled up, I swear to you, in a Bentley.
- 10:09SPEAKER_04: And I don't know what they did, but a couple black dudes in a Bentley, and they put something in the trunk.
- 10:14SPEAKER_04: I remember they coming out of the car, and then at this time I ended up buying um about like a 96, like two-door suburban, no Tahoe.
- 10:22SPEAKER_04: One of those Tahoe's put on 22s and the whole nine, put 2012s in the back.
- 10:26SPEAKER_04: I thought it was so cool.
- 10:27SPEAKER_04: And I ended up um selling it to him years down the line.
- 10:31SPEAKER_04: The guy was like, My brother was trying to find you that motor blue, and I was like, Oh, like I felt so bad.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: And then shortly after that, bro, I thought it was so cool.
- 10:39SPEAKER_04: I was gonna like do a I don't know what the fuck I was, I was in a pill out or something in that truck on 22s, and I blew my rear end and my drive line.
- 10:48SPEAKER_04: And and then it cost me five thousand dollars and I learned my lesson.
- 10:51SPEAKER_04: And so uh karma's real, don't be fucking people over.
- 10:54SPEAKER_04: It it, you know, you gotta be because you used to sold it with it blown, right?
- 10:58SPEAKER_04: Uh no, I think oh you fixed it?
- 11:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I fixed it.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: Uh well the transmission, I did mention that I was going in third year.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: The motor, I did fix that before I said I didn't tell it like that.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: But I told um, because my tuner bought it.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: You remember Gabe, right?
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: I told him what was.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Oh, Gabe bought that?
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and um he sold it to I think one of his employees to get off his hands.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: And then he bought it back, and then another employee bought it or took over.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I did I told him what the issues were with the car.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: Uh I told him like it was gone in third year.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: I don't know why.
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: It could be something simple, but I'm just fucking fed up with it.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Take this shit off my hands so I can go get a GTR.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: And uh I had cash saved up to go get the GTR, like it put a down payment, but then shit came up.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I had to wait longer.
- 11:39SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 11:40SPEAKER_00: And everything happens for a reason, bro.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: And you know, never underestimate God's plan.
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: It's always better than yours.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 100%.

- 13:52SPEAKER_04: And right now, you know, we're getting temperatures for the US listeners, you know, it could be 100, 107, it could be 47 Celsius for international uh viewers, because my team's in the Philippines, I'm always fucking going like Celsius, Fahrenheit, kilometers, miles per hour.
- 14:07SPEAKER_04: Cause I'm I'm wanting to connect-yeah, I want to connect with them, right?
- 14:10SPEAKER_04: It's one thing not to know the language, yeah.
- 14:12SPEAKER_04: And then also, like, oh, how do you explain that it's hot and how hot is it?
- 14:16SPEAKER_04: Well, they don't know Fahrenheit, so you're like, okay, Celsius, what?
- 14:19SPEAKER_04: But um, but yeah, you got you get used to it for sure.
- 14:22SPEAKER_04: I think that um it it's it's a it's a dry heat too.
- 14:25SPEAKER_04: So if you haven't been to Arizona, it's not like you're like in the Amazon and it's hot and then it's just sticky and you're just drenched all the time.
- 14:32SPEAKER_04: You get out of the shower, you're so wet and shit.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:34SPEAKER_04: Um, and so when you went through all those like those transitions, a lot of moving, like what do you remember?
- 14:40SPEAKER_04: Like, do you think that really helped develop you who you are today?
- 14:43SPEAKER_04: I mean, having that much, you know, different perspectives, dude, from these different countries and just you know, growing up, I can imagine.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: So it taught me that living out here, we're spoiled compared to shit, yeah.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: I mean, and I don't mean that to like talk shit.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying yeah, it's truth because in Iraq at like at that time, I don't know how it is now.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: We were lucky if we had electricity all freaking day, dude.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: Even two or three hours a day.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: I remember my mom would like fan me with like little fans that she had.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: It was so freaking hot at night, bro.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: Shout out to her.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: And dude, what's up, mom?
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, electricity wasn't like much like food and water and table, we had that.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: But it was like electricity was too high, and then like over there, it's like I felt like always living life on edge, dude.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: And like having to worry about like I remember one time we were me and my mom, um, we're at some shopping center, and you know how they say like kids always get like um like they they know that something's off and shit.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like like they like their intuition or some shit.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, yeah.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: I was like, mom, I think we should get going.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: I feel like something bad's about to happen.
- 15:49SPEAKER_00: Oh sure.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: Sure enough.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: Like literally, as we were leaving, some fucking explosion went off, and everybody was just scattering, dude, and it was just like I don't know.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: Something just told me like we need to get the fuck out of here, you know what I mean?
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: And um, yeah, it's definitely some it just taught me to be more grateful coming out here, you know.
- 16:08SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, you know, we got opportunities out here in this country and gotta pursue and chase it.
- 16:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, amen.
- 16:14SPEAKER_04: I absolutely love that.
- 16:15SPEAKER_04: Talk about a lift off moment.
- 16:16SPEAKER_04: I think a big thing too is is that when you're when you're not in uh survival mode, like you're not trying to survive, you're not trying to, you know, dodge fucking bombs, you're not, you're not trying to fan yourself because you have no electricity and the AC's out, like it's a different thought process.
- 16:32SPEAKER_04: Then then we compare ourselves to our neighbor or someone that has something that we wish we had, or we think we're not good enough, and all these things.
- 16:39SPEAKER_04: And I think that honestly, you know, and that's why I like this platform because everyday people all have a story, and we've all been somewhere, we are somewhere, and we're going somewhere.
- 16:51SPEAKER_04: And that's where I feel like to add value to someone who's out there right now, that either they're there now, they want to be coming to America, or maybe they're already in America and they don't realize to be grateful for the little things like that right there, which you just said, is a good reminder.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like I said, dude, it's it's a whole different ball game from over there than here, you know.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: It's it opens up your eyes a lot.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: And you start like looking at things differently, you're more appreciative, you're more like it's I don't know how to explain it to you.
- 17:23SPEAKER_04: It is weird, it's different.
- 17:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, I can only imagine, bro.
- 17:26SPEAKER_04: So then so so your immediate family all got out, now they're here now, siblings, mom, dad, or what?
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: So my s we all left except for my older sister, because she was uh she had just gotten married, and uh she didn't come with us, so she stayed in Iraq for like years and years.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: But we it was me, my dad, my mom, my brother, my sister.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: So my older sister didn't come out till recently.
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: She's right now in a different country, she's in Turkey.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: So we're trying to bring her here, but the closest she's gonna get to is we just begin Canada.
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: It's still like not too far from us.
- 17:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: So I told her, you know, like I'm helping her with the whole process too right now.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: Like helping my mom and all that.
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: Like, we're trying to help her out with whatever we can do, and yeah, it's just lawyer stuff with immigration going back and forth.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: So it's a process, dude.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dude.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: I mean, I got lucky.
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: I was mine was short.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: Even though I was born here, they didn't give me citizenship.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: What?
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: Because you were born in New York?
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: No, because my dad was a diplomat.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: Oh, politics then, yeah.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: And then I was like, dude, I didn't know shit.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: I was I was little, yeah, because my dad was a diplomat.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go be a diplomat.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, I didn't know shit about that, but apparently because of that, yeah, you don't get citizenship.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: But finally I got it, and then I was like, if I was like, let's go, if I can do it, you know, then be it because I don't need I have nothing to go back there for.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: Maybe visit it, but rather be here.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:48SPEAKER_04: So you still have family obviously back home?
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't talk to them as much, though.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: My sister's the only one I really talk to.
- 18:54SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 18:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 18:54SPEAKER_04: Wow, man, congratulations.
- 18:56SPEAKER_04: And that's that's a lot of people.
- 18:58SPEAKER_04: I know people in the States right now that are still going through that process to try to even have that happen.
- 19:02SPEAKER_04: And um, a lot of our team and staff's in the Philippines, and it's hard over there, bro.
- 19:06SPEAKER_04: Like, we we want to meet our team, we want to get them together, and there's so much politics with just getting a visa to get them like one of our team leads.
- 19:15SPEAKER_04: So there's two Cha and Vitz and Bernadette.
- 19:17SPEAKER_04: There's three.
- 19:18SPEAKER_04: Uh, shout out to all three of y'all.
- 19:20SPEAKER_04: And uh, so one Cha's in like like the video, Cha's in the web, Bernadette's in social, and then uh you have Vitz, who's kind of like she's more like the COO, like the chief operations officer at Liftoff, she helps a lot of stuff behind the scenes.
- 19:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Cha and Vitz, they got their tenure, but unfortunately Bernadette didn't because there was tie there wasn't enough ties to keep her in the Philippines, and they're like, oh no, she's gonna run to America and never come back.
- 19:45SPEAKER_04: Talk about not having faith in your own country.
- 19:47SPEAKER_04: And like, I'm not here to talk politics, I'm just saying, like, you know, it's like if when you don't give someone something, like you say no to your kid, they only want them more.
- 19:57SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 19:58SPEAKER_04: So you try to like tell people they can't have something, or you try to control them because you think they're gonna not come back to the country or whatever, and it's just like that's not even the case at all, you know.
- 20:07SPEAKER_04: And plus, Bernadette, she has ties to uh so her family, mother, father, and I believe sister or brother, they're over in Canada and they left the Philippines, and so she's gonna stay because she has her partner there and and what have you.
- 20:20SPEAKER_04: But um, but yeah, shout out to anyone out there who's either trying to get your citizenship here in America, um, or you know, anywhere around the world that maybe you're going through that process and making it happen.
- 20:30SPEAKER_04: So, how long has it been since you've had your uh citizenship?
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: So I found out back in like 2019.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: Okay, because I wanted to leave the country, and um I started the process then.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so it took me about two and a half years.
- 20:44SPEAKER_00: Wow, dude.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: Like I said, mine was faster compared to my parents and everybody else that I know.
- 20:49SPEAKER_04: But everyone's good now, yeah.
- 20:50SPEAKER_04: Nice, that's just that's super cool.
- 20:53SPEAKER_04: So then no, no, you're here, so then you go through like what, like elementary, middle school, high school, all Arizona?
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Well, no, so in um Virginia, yeah.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: I was um elementary school there.
- 21:06SPEAKER_00: Uh and then uh here it was like middle school through high school.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: Got it.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, and it was it was different over there too, it was cold, so it was like going from heat to cold, then back to heat.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: Hot cold, hot, cold.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then New York too was cold as shit.
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: New York was cold.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and Romania would get like in the negatives.
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: Whoa, yeah, dude, it was freaking every night it was freezing.
- 21:26SPEAKER_04: Holy shit.
- 21:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah, when you go through extremes like that, you're like, I'll take the hot.
- 21:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's not that big of a deal.
- 21:31SPEAKER_04: Damn, that's crazy, man.
- 21:32SPEAKER_04: No, that's awesome.
- 21:33SPEAKER_04: That like you went through all that to be here, and then now being here in Arizona, like basically so always in the central Phoenix area.
- 21:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so when we moved out here, we were in Chandler for about two or two to three years, and then we just moved towards me.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: So um, my parents live out east live more towards me.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: Nice.
- 21:53SPEAKER_00: So we've been out there, and then I moved like maybe ten minutes east from them.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: So yeah, um a little bit of Chandler, but Mostly Mesa on this side of town.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 22:02SPEAKER_04: That's what's up.
- 22:03SPEAKER_04: So, like going through all that, like, where'd the love for cars come from?
- 22:07SPEAKER_04: When was the first time you saw a car or or whatever when it like clicked for you?
- 22:11SPEAKER_04: Like, oh shit.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: Like this was back in um Dude, I was young.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: My cousin, one of my cousins, he was in the military when we're when I was young.
- 22:21SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: And um, he would come spend the night with us like one every other weekend, whatever.
- 22:27SPEAKER_00: Um and well, I remember one day he brought a BMW.
- 22:31SPEAKER_04: Oh shit.
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: And at that time it was like, whoa, like what the fuck?
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: He had a five series, I think.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, yeah.
- 22:37SPEAKER_04: I could be wrong.
- 22:38SPEAKER_04: Bigger body.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Um what what year is it?
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: What year is it?
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: It was like a 1990 something or 2000.
- 22:44SPEAKER_00: I can't think right now.
- 22:46SPEAKER_00: It was like the E something.
- 22:47SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 22:48SPEAKER_04: Before the before the E36s.
- 22:50SPEAKER_04: Okay, it wasn't like a 550 or something.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: No, it was a VA.
- 22:54SPEAKER_00: I just know that because of him, I was like, holy shit, like this is sick.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: It was silver.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: He had like the European taillights on it too.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: Like, it was like badass, dude.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: Sunroof too.
- 23:02SPEAKER_00: At that time, if you had a sunroof, you were a fucking baller.
- 23:05SPEAKER_00: Let's go, let's go.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: And because of him, that's what like drew me into cars.
- 23:11SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, he would spend the night with us every, you know, like every other weekend when he was coming from military.
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: And um fortunately, he's not here with us today no more.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: And I wish I could tell him, like, hey, because of you, like, you know, God bless.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: I'm into cars, and that's what got me into cars.
- 23:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: But that started at a young age, dude.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: I was like maybe four or five years old.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: You remember my video that I shared that it got viral for that kid taking out the car?
- 23:36SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 23:36SPEAKER_00: That's how I was.
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: That's what's up.
- 23:39SPEAKER_04: Talk about full circle moment, bro.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: My cousin would um I was young at that time.
- 23:45SPEAKER_00: He was like, You want to go for a drive?
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: He'll let me just sit on the lap and I would control.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: He would just push the, you know, you know, you would you know what I'm talking about?
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: I do that with my daughter and shit.
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what that's what came to my mind when that kid came up to me and his dad when they tried the GTR, I was like, dude, like, this is my moment.
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: Different car, but same moment.
- 24:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 24:02SPEAKER_04: I mean, no, I love that, man.
- 24:03SPEAKER_04: And that's what it's about.
- 24:04SPEAKER_04: I think that, you know, people kind of have they either love cars, they don't really care, they're indifferent, or maybe they're in the middle a little bit.
- 24:13SPEAKER_04: But then, you know, people, a lot of people out there, and hey, in the comments, let us know.
- 24:17SPEAKER_04: Like, think of a car as like just kind of transportation.
- 24:20SPEAKER_04: But there's like so much more to a car, especially when you're a car person, where like the engineers spent so much time engineering and developing these these machines, and when you have a driver-focused machine, it is so different, and it's crazy that like the GTR is like it's like you know, then you know, and people that know, and if they follow the culture, they see the flames, they see all the shit, they're just like diehards.
- 24:48SPEAKER_04: Like that kid probably was, and when he's just like, Oh my god, it's Godzilla.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was freaking out.
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: Was he?
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: Do you do you even know how many um there were ever made GTRs?
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: No R35s?
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: No, 48,000.
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: That's it?
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: Apparently that's about the like the most they ever made, like 48,000 units.
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: So 48,000.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Oh, but is that in North Northern?
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: Northern United States.
- 25:12SPEAKER_00: I think it was like the United whole world, or is that I think the whole world.
- 25:15SPEAKER_00: Because if you think about it, right, there's only four people that work on these engines.
- 25:18SPEAKER_00: Think about it, right?
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: Those plaques on our engine base, there's only four different names.
- 25:23SPEAKER_04: Okay, yeah, it's true.
- 25:24SPEAKER_04: I didn't think about that.
- 25:25SPEAKER_00: I mean, I could be wrong, but it's literally only four different names, as as far as I'm what I've read up on.
- 25:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:30SPEAKER_04: So so like I know for 2000 um 2016.
- 25:36SPEAKER_04: Let me uh let me fact check this real quick.
- 25:38SPEAKER_04: I think it was 986 that was ever built uh in 2000 um let's see here, in 2016.
- 25:49SPEAKER_04: So let's see here, how many R35 Nissan GTRs were built in 2016 in the northern hemisphere?
- 25:57SPEAKER_04: Because I know like in in the northern hemisphere, and they they they break it off in quadrants.
- 26:02SPEAKER_04: So Nissan built approximately 48,000 GTRs during 18 years run, so like what you just said.
- 26:08SPEAKER_04: Okay, but um I want to find out how many GTRs were built in 2016.
- 26:13SPEAKER_04: We'll just keep it simple.
- 26:14SPEAKER_04: How many how many R35 Nissan GTR built in 2016?
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: And then we could do your year, 2013.
- 26:20SPEAKER_04: Um, because I don't think people really know how rare they really are.
- 26:24SPEAKER_04: So approximately 1,500 to 2,000 units in 2016.
- 26:28SPEAKER_04: That's not that many.
- 26:29SPEAKER_04: No.
- 26:30SPEAKER_04: I wonder, let's see 2013.
- 26:32SPEAKER_04: I'm curious.
- 26:32SPEAKER_04: So 2013 uh units built.
- 26:35SPEAKER_04: Oh now it's like here's your chart.
- 26:38SPEAKER_04: 2013, uh 1,566.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:43SPEAKER_04: So not very many units, and that's that's the thing that people don't understand.
- 26:49SPEAKER_04: Um I actually saw I was gonna trigger some people, but uh DDE, you know, David, Dave, and and uh, and what's his name?
- 26:58SPEAKER_04: The DDE guys.
- 26:59SPEAKER_04: I heard of him, yeah.
- 27:00SPEAKER_04: Um so so I think David or someone in the GTR crew in the chat on Instagram posted a video from uh from Dave DDE and uh saying that the Nissan GT GTR R35 is like the ugliest.
- 27:14SPEAKER_04: Like they said it's like the ugliest car, and then they said the Italians for the you know the 50, the GT50 that they did, the redesign.
- 27:21SPEAKER_04: They said the GT50 is when Italians took the car and made it so much better.
- 27:25SPEAKER_04: I'm like, in what classification are you talking about?
- 27:28SPEAKER_04: Because there's some ugly ass electric cars, there's some ugly ass, like e-con e-comic like cars that are I'm like, what the fuck?
- 27:35SPEAKER_04: Like, all right.
- 27:36SPEAKER_04: Some people are just fucking dumb.
- 27:38SPEAKER_00: Doing it for the views.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's all just to get fucked.
- 27:42SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't even want to say this shit out there, but somebody I have a video too.
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: Somebody was um talking shit about my car too, saying that really you know sporty enough.
- 27:52SPEAKER_00: What the fuck do you consider not sporty enough?
- 27:54SPEAKER_00: Like, okay, whatever.
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: We're trying to do it.
- 27:56SPEAKER_04: You gotta you gotta and you gotta see it in person.
- 27:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the GTR is a car that you have to see in person.
- 28:00SPEAKER_04: The one thing I will say about the car that makes me kind of curious, and that's what this is what inspires me with the build, is that a lot of people feel like with the Nissan GTRs, like the Liberty Walks, the big body kits, like changing all that shit up, which is cool.
- 28:14SPEAKER_04: If you like Liberty Walks, hey, comment below what's your favorite type of body kit style.
- 28:19SPEAKER_04: Do you think you know why bodies are cool?
- 28:21SPEAKER_04: I feel like the car itself, there's so much with it as it is, you just have to really draw out the lines and draw out the way the car looks.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like and going back to Liberty Walk, I'm I'm not knocking anybody like they're clean.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: They used to be my favorite, actually.
- 28:37SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 28:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I don't know if I would do it personally because I feel like I would feel bad for the car.
- 28:42SPEAKER_00: Because you gotta cut.
- 28:43SPEAKER_00: You do, you know what I mean?
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: But and I'm not saying like, hey, you want to do it?
- 28:46SPEAKER_00: No, I'm not saying don't do it.
- 28:47SPEAKER_00: Absolutely do it.
- 28:47SPEAKER_00: If that's what you want, yeah, fucking do it, because they look sick.
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: Um, and yeah, as far as people don't understand how much potential these cars have, dude.
- 28:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, think about it.
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: When you go to Texas 2K, what do you see a lot?
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: GTRs.
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: Pipers, GTRs, you know, yeah, mentorbo Lambos, all right?
- 29:03SPEAKER_00: It's like what do you don't really they're sick things, bro?
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: Like they're these cars are fucking monsters.
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: If you have the money to build them and make them fast, you will be untouchable.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: Even back touchable, back in 2009.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: You remember when they first came out?
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: Japan got them in, I think, oh eight.
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: They did.
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: Or one year before.
- 29:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then but if you had it here and you you had like what we the mods we have right now, dude, nobody was fucking with you.
- 29:24SPEAKER_04: Dude, you were way behind of its time.
- 29:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, threat.
- 29:28SPEAKER_04: And even today, I think with those motors, they're just so amazing that like even today, they're they're you could build them to you know, whatever.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: It took them this long just to find cars to beat them.
- 29:37SPEAKER_04: They did.
- 29:37SPEAKER_04: Well, you heard what's gonna happen for 2020, I think it's 2027 or or maybe the end 2028, beginning 2028.
- 29:44SPEAKER_04: They're gonna go like hybrid.
- 29:45SPEAKER_04: So they're gonna keep the same VR, the the the you know, the 38, but they're gonna go into doing like a hybrid assist.
- 29:51SPEAKER_04: So I wonder what that's gonna look like and if it's just gonna be a couple extra hundred horsepower.
- 29:56SPEAKER_04: Because hey, you know, the Corvette, right?
- 29:58SPEAKER_04: The Z R1X, they got the hybrid in front, and then they got the motor in the back, all wheel drive.
- 30:03SPEAKER_04: I wonder what they're gonna do with that.
- 30:04SPEAKER_04: I don't know, I'm curious.
- 30:05SPEAKER_00: I heard yes and no.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, but they they did say no to electric cars and I do electric.
- 30:10SPEAKER_00: They did say no.
- 30:10SPEAKER_04: I wouldn't be against hybrid, that's the cool, you can switch back and forth.
- 30:13SPEAKER_04: You know, well, you got your neighborhood, you don't have to fucking piss no one off with a cold startup.
- 30:17SPEAKER_04: You don't do your cold startup, you know, there's the street just starts freaking so which is pretty cool.
- 30:23SPEAKER_04: But like, so now we know when you had the okay, I love cars, and so that that BMW, you know, and that was your cousin?
- 30:32SPEAKER_04: That was my cousin, yeah.
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: And now fast forward, why the GTR?
- 30:36SPEAKER_04: Where did the where did the GTR love come from?
- 30:38SPEAKER_04: When's the first time you seen one and you were like, oh shit pastor Fierce?
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: Oh he's here R34?
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: Um, so I I yes, I did see his R34, right?
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: Remember his blue one and the other one?
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 30:51SPEAKER_00: But when I saw that blue, um, no, in Fast Five, it was at the beginning or whatever.
- 30:56SPEAKER_00: I think it was the beginning.
- 30:57SPEAKER_00: Remember when he had that silver one?
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh shit, that's pretty badass.
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: Fast 5 GTR.
- 31:03SPEAKER_00: And then it was like literally the fucking base model one.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: Was it really?
- 31:08SPEAKER_04: The silver one.
- 31:08SPEAKER_04: The silver one, base model, yeah.
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, fast five, basic silver.
- 31:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 31:15SPEAKER_00: That was that one.
- 31:16SPEAKER_00: Um, and then where I really fell in love with the R35s, yeah, was Fast 7 when fat um that blue one he had towards the end.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: Ur.
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
- 31:27SPEAKER_04: That one was like, oh, when I saw that blue one, I was like, You see, Fast 7 GTR with that big wing too.
- 31:33SPEAKER_00: It's right there, bro.
- 31:34SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: I have it up there.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: That one, yeah, there you go.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: I have it up there.
- 31:38SPEAKER_00: So blind, I literally just I was thinking about the R34, but yeah, that's it right there.
- 31:41SPEAKER_04: That's the fucking car.
- 31:42SPEAKER_04: Cause I because I remember that's that's the GTR fucking wall.
- 31:46SPEAKER_04: So I would start collecting.
- 31:47SPEAKER_04: I bought the white one, then I bought the blue one before I actually had my car.
- 31:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and then the R34 blue one that already had the car, and then I just got that body kit for that one.
- 31:56SPEAKER_04: But uh, that's fucking hilarious.
- 31:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the blue one.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: That is the one that makes it all over the.
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: And you see the wing?
- 32:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 32:02SPEAKER_00: I got my idea with with doing the wing risers.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: Uh got it.
- 32:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: That one was the one that did it for me.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: And I was like, dude, if I ever find a blue one, that color, we sick, but I never did.
- 32:14SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'll set up with this one.
- 32:15SPEAKER_04: Influence is real, bro.
- 32:17SPEAKER_04: Influence is real.
- 32:17SPEAKER_04: Well, why why did you not then wrap it when you wrapped it the color you did?
- 32:21SPEAKER_04: Why did she go blue?
- 32:22SPEAKER_00: Because then I saw there was some out here and I don't want to copy.
- 32:26SPEAKER_00: That's why I did Millennium J because nobody in AZ has that color.
- 32:29SPEAKER_00: That's true.
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: There are two GTRs that had them uh California, Dustin Williams and Finding Nick.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: And um I had no intentions of actually like copying them.
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: And um, but I was like, I do want that fucking color though.
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: That's a sort of thing.
- 32:45SPEAKER_00: You know, you know when you have like something in your like you think about a vision, yeah, and then someone beats you to it.
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: And I'm not bashing like talking shit about them.
- 32:52SPEAKER_00: Like they're like great influencers, you know.
- 32:55SPEAKER_00: Like I followed, I've been a fan of them for a while, and yeah, they're the ones that kind of inspired the look for me on the GTR.
- 33:00SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 33:01SPEAKER_00: And the TE37s, I mean, we I had the Advent GTs, but I've always wanted the T E37s.
- 33:06SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, my goal is I want one.
- 33:07SPEAKER_00: In Chrome.
- 33:08SPEAKER_00: Dude, I you know what's funny?
- 33:09SPEAKER_00: I actually wanted them in gunmetal gray.
- 33:11SPEAKER_00: No shit.
- 33:12SPEAKER_00: I was never a fan of Chrome, but I was like, let me just try it out and see.
- 33:15SPEAKER_00: And when I had it when it was black, and I was like, dude, this looks sick, especially when I got the perfect tire setup.
- 33:19SPEAKER_00: I was like, this shit looks sick.
- 33:20SPEAKER_04: It is different, it's tough.
- 33:22SPEAKER_04: I like it too.
- 33:23SPEAKER_04: That's sick.
- 33:23SPEAKER_04: It's crazy how influence comes up and comes about, and how all that kind of comes together.
- 33:28SPEAKER_04: And I want to go into this segment about so I want to make this show interactive for people.
- 33:34SPEAKER_04: And so Jacob has an in-stagram, it's gonna be linked down below, and he also has a YouTube channel, and uh, so do I.
- 33:42SPEAKER_04: And so I remember, so we're gonna be doing our fifth, we're not gonna say GTR event, but whatever.
- 33:47SPEAKER_04: It started out as a GTR event, now it's kind of like a supercar event, and because more and more people asking to come, whatever sets tomorrow.
- 33:55SPEAKER_04: And um, so this is the fifth one.
- 33:57SPEAKER_04: You came to the first one, and we were doing the ethanol conversion with I think it was the first or second on my GTR.
- 34:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 34:04SPEAKER_04: And then, and then I remember because there's something just to help viewers and listeners out there, there's something about like when you manifest something and you think about it a lot, like God will show you signs.
- 34:15SPEAKER_04: Like, you know, you drive down the road and you're like, oh fucking GTR, you know, you're like, it's closer, like I can feel it, it's coming, like that type of shit.
- 34:22SPEAKER_04: So, like, so doing that event and then you coming, and then we're working on the car and doing all the things, like you were closer to that goal.
- 34:29SPEAKER_04: And I think it was like the second, or was it the third, then you rolled up with your car, which is crazy.
- 34:35SPEAKER_00: I think it was the second one, it might have been the second one because you know it's funny.
- 34:39SPEAKER_00: Um, after I that was the time that I sold the G37, right?
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but one of my uh followers, he's like, dude, I think I know what you're gonna get for your next car.
- 34:49SPEAKER_00: Because I was always posting about GTRs.
- 34:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this fool knew.
- 34:52SPEAKER_00: I mean, besides the close people that I know, they knew they knew what I was gonna get.
- 34:55SPEAKER_00: And um, he's like, I think I know what you're gonna get.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Well, I guess you'll see.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: And then I did the YouTube reveal video.
- 35:02SPEAKER_00: He's like, I fucking knew it this whole time, dude.
- 35:04SPEAKER_00: He's like, I could tell.
- 35:05SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that was like the first time I came, and I was like, So cool.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: I was like, I even I gotta find that video.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: I was like, next time you guys will see me at this event with one of these GCRs, and did it, absolutely did it.
- 35:16SPEAKER_04: That's that's liftoff mode right there.
- 35:18SPEAKER_04: And we have it on the uh the YouTube channel, so you'll see that uh I'll put the link down below.
- 35:23SPEAKER_04: Uh shout out liftoff agent for sponsoring the show and the video team and social team for production and then putting those links down there for us.
- 35:30SPEAKER_04: But um, but yeah, we'll put the links so if you want to watch a cool vlog, check out the events that we've done.
- 35:35SPEAKER_04: Um, those are all pretty much I just self-product production on all that.
- 35:39SPEAKER_04: I filmed myself, I did all that.
- 35:41SPEAKER_04: Tomorrow, we're actually hiring a crew to come out, and then we're meeting everyone here at the house at about 4 15, 4 30, and then we have three cars for camera cars, and then we're gonna actually have it.
- 35:52SPEAKER_04: I got edit done professional.
- 35:54SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna be doing it myself anymore.
- 35:56SPEAKER_04: It's just too much.
- 35:57SPEAKER_04: And it's a lot.
- 35:58SPEAKER_04: You're trying to host an event, orchestrate everything.
- 36:01SPEAKER_04: I've already personally messaged everyone.
- 36:04SPEAKER_04: I fucking dropped off flyers yesterday to the neighbors.
- 36:06SPEAKER_04: I got the taco guy ready.
- 36:08SPEAKER_04: We started to get the toppings for the ice cream.
- 36:10SPEAKER_04: We're gonna get all the ice cream tubs tomorrow.
- 36:12SPEAKER_04: Then we gotta set up the chairs, set up the tables, and then I gotta seal, put together the podcast roster of the 12 people, and then send them direct messages to make sure they're on the same page.
- 36:20SPEAKER_04: Plus, I just put in these fucking doors.
- 36:23SPEAKER_04: So then if you want to be in the pool or hit the bathroom real quick, or if you're gonna be on the podcast, I'll just open these doors up and you can just come on in, and then you could be able to like have a uh have like a roster, and then you'll have the time slots, and they'll just come in and we'll be filming each person for like five minutes, 12 months.
- 36:37SPEAKER_04: Dude, you're going all out on this shit.
- 36:38SPEAKER_04: All out, bro.
- 36:39SPEAKER_00: I feel like every time we do, you just do like more and more to have to, bro.
- 36:43SPEAKER_04: Like who else is doing it?
- 36:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, think about it.
- 36:46SPEAKER_04: Like you go to all these events, which are cool.
- 36:48SPEAKER_04: Hey, AZ track stars, shout out.
- 36:49SPEAKER_04: You guys are great, don't get me wrong.
- 36:51SPEAKER_04: Um, you got the one dude that does a lot of events over there at the fucking uh Top Golf and the shooting range.
- 36:56SPEAKER_04: He does a lot of events over there.
- 36:58SPEAKER_04: I forgot his name.
- 36:59SPEAKER_04: Um, we're we're talking back and forth.
- 37:01SPEAKER_04: Uh Cannonball, they do a lot of shit too.
- 37:03SPEAKER_04: But the problem that I see in the market as far as when it comes to car events, is it's like it's like a quick either it's a quick drive, and then you go to the house, and then it's mediocre, okay, food, but there's no one really hosting it, and there's no really like media production, and there's no really one like bringing everyone together and actually like giving people context.
- 37:24SPEAKER_00: I was just gonna say that.
- 37:25SPEAKER_00: But this these kind of events bring a lot of people together.
- 37:28SPEAKER_00: That's what it's about.
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: And yeah, well, like you said, I'm a fan of all those meets too.
- 37:33SPEAKER_00: Like track stars, they always do they do some badass shit, too.
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: Those meets always they always hook me up too.
- 37:38SPEAKER_00: Every time I get there, yeah.
- 37:39SPEAKER_00: Last time I just rolled in, they're like, hey, just park on the side, we have a spot for you.
- 37:43SPEAKER_00: They put me like right in front of the front.
- 37:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 37:46SPEAKER_00: Shout out to them.
- 37:46SPEAKER_00: They're they're really cool, they take time hosting all this shit too.
- 37:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but yeah, no, these GTR events do, like, they're I don't like going to too much car meets because yeah, like I don't know if you notice, I I tend to go more towards the cars and coffee.
- 37:59SPEAKER_00: People are more mature and respectful, but when you go to the other meets, people are just like revving their shit boxes non-stop and like there's a time and place for it, you know what I mean?
- 38:07SPEAKER_00: Yep, like they do it so much that we're just having it end up getting kicked out or yeah, the challengers.
- 38:13SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry to say, but the challengers, the chargers, you know, it's like people trying to feel like they need to prove themselves so they either have the beat, and if they don't have the beat, they got the they got the cut-off straight fucking pipe, you know what I'm saying?
- 38:25SPEAKER_04: And they're just revving the shit out of it.
- 38:27SPEAKER_04: Like, dude, it's it's too much, it's too much.
- 38:29SPEAKER_04: And that's where I think I've been very grateful that we've always had good people, a lot of respect here, uh, a good mix of individuals, whether they're business owners, you know, blue, white collar, everyone just comes together and just has a good time.
- 38:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and like that's what I'm looking for.
- 38:44SPEAKER_04: And uh, and it's crazy.
- 38:46SPEAKER_04: Every single event, we'll have like a core people that keep coming, but every single event it's a little bit different.
- 38:52SPEAKER_04: And then tomorrow it's Pauly's birthday.
- 38:54SPEAKER_04: So Pauly has the blue GTR that Jacob didn't want to copy.
- 38:58SPEAKER_04: I I'm not I don't know if it is, but I just I just calling, I'm just calling out.
- 39:01SPEAKER_04: No, you're right.
- 39:01SPEAKER_04: Shout out, Polly.
- 39:02SPEAKER_04: I don't want to copy.
- 39:04SPEAKER_04: So happy birthday, Polly.

- 40:15SPEAKER_04: He's a sport better, and this dude is crazy.
- 40:18SPEAKER_04: He'll take like a basketball, he'll wrap it in hundreds, it'll be five thousand, and he'll just throw up in the air.
- 40:22SPEAKER_04: He's like, catch it, it's yours.
- 40:23SPEAKER_04: And people don't believe him, and they'll catch it and be like, Oh, it's five thousand short.
- 40:27SPEAKER_04: He's like, Is that real?
- 40:27SPEAKER_04: I was like, Yeah, he takes off the hundred, it's a real hundred dollar bill.
- 40:30SPEAKER_04: So you see these people that have movies for life, but long story short, I don't know if we'll ever get sun on, but it's his birthday tomorrow, too.
- 40:37SPEAKER_04: And so Loon told me, he's like, Why don't you come over after the event?
- 40:41SPEAKER_04: And then the wife's like, Yeah, you can go ahead and go and and go enjoy yourself and stuff like that.
- 40:44SPEAKER_04: So I said, All right, maybe I'll come by and see what's up.

- 40:52SPEAKER_04: Maybe 11.
- 40:53SPEAKER_04: So dang.
- 40:54SPEAKER_00: I mean, dude, if the GTR was running, I would have called out.
- 40:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:58SPEAKER_00: The GTR does run.
- 40:59SPEAKER_00: If it was like drivable, like for me to like because right now I just take it to the gym because it's a mile from my house.
- 41:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's easy.
- 41:04SPEAKER_00: I'll take it like once a week, just like you know, stretch the legs out.
- 41:07SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: Um, but I can't I can't fucking turn now.
- 41:10SPEAKER_00: If I feel like I'm turning, I'm hitting arms at the gym.
- 41:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he power steering went out.
- 41:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that shit just feels like literally you're turning and like at the same time you're curling weights.
- 41:20SPEAKER_04: Damn.
- 41:21SPEAKER_04: But it gets easier when you start driving it though.
- 41:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 41:24SPEAKER_04: I used to have the same shit with my 72, bro, the Chevelle.
- 41:26SPEAKER_04: My shit would go out, and then what do you do?
- 41:28SPEAKER_04: You just do what you gotta do.
- 41:29SPEAKER_04: Either you pour in the fluid, and then it's easier, and then it all fucking pours out, and then you're like, fuck, and then it gets hard again, you know?
- 41:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, this one is the pump, and no matter what, it's just you can't turn.
- 41:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:41SPEAKER_04: So the whole the pump has to be your place.
- 41:43SPEAKER_04: That's crazy.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: But the thing I was telling Jacob I said, because it happened at a cannonball event.
- 41:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:48SPEAKER_04: Uh actually, if you want to.
- 41:50SPEAKER_04: We got that video too.
- 41:52SPEAKER_04: Uh, I had the team do a whole vlog of that event, and that's when I was doing the interviews and whatnot, and the one guy wanted to trade me as fucking M8 or M5 for watch.
- 42:01SPEAKER_04: You were you were in that you were in that video, bro.
- 42:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so you were like shit's rigged.
- 42:05SPEAKER_04: You were fucking in that shit.
- 42:08SPEAKER_04: He's a funny dude.
- 42:09SPEAKER_04: He's he's a cool ass cat, bro.
- 42:10SPEAKER_04: I like that guy's fucking energy personality, he's super cool.
- 42:13SPEAKER_04: So we got a vlog on that shit too.
- 42:15SPEAKER_04: So if you guys want to check it out, it's on the lift off agent page.
- 42:17SPEAKER_04: And then I think I collaborated with my personal YouTube channel.
- 42:21SPEAKER_04: But did you post that one already?
- 42:23SPEAKER_04: We just posted that vlog.
- 42:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 42:24SPEAKER_04: I haven't said I haven't seen it, but I'll have to.
- 42:26SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna put it out there.
- 42:27SPEAKER_04: I just, dude, it's fucking crazy with all the stuff going on, and um, it's just been nuts.
- 42:33SPEAKER_04: And I have so what I really actually fucking need, dude, is I need actually uh an assistant.
- 42:39SPEAKER_00: So uh you should hire someone to edit for you all that shit.
- 42:42SPEAKER_04: I need an assistant to help me just like with a lot of like little things to like move shit around, make sure shit's getting collaborated.
- 42:47SPEAKER_04: So yeah, so it's it's posted.
- 42:50SPEAKER_04: Um so that we did a whole vlog of the whole entire event.
- 42:53SPEAKER_04: So I got got the interviews, everything.
- 42:55SPEAKER_04: It's available, links down below.
- 42:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 42:57SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna um I'm gonna collaborate with that with my personal shit.
- 43:00SPEAKER_04: But my thought process was it's like I'm going out to Fashion Square, I'm interviewing people about do they own, do they, do they rent?
- 43:07SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, I'm getting to a point in my success career where I'm like, I want to do the shit that I like.
- 43:12SPEAKER_04: I like cars.
- 43:13SPEAKER_04: So let's fucking do cars and real estate and ask people like when they're coming in tomorrow.
- 43:18SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna be like, like, I'm gonna ask them like, you know, like who they are, what do they drive, like how long to take them, ask them some questions about the car, and then I'm gonna transition to ask them about like, do you own a house?
- 43:28SPEAKER_04: And do you think you should own a house before you buy a supercar?
- 43:30SPEAKER_04: And like get into that kind of conversation.
- 43:32SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 43:33SPEAKER_04: And just see see what they say.
- 43:34SPEAKER_04: Like, do you own a house?
- 43:35SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 43:35SPEAKER_04: So you think that it's more important to have a house or a car first?
- 43:38SPEAKER_04: Or I might even ask them like, should you buy your supercar first or your house first?
- 43:44SPEAKER_04: You can't race your house, but you can race your car.
- 43:47SPEAKER_04: Hey, I like that.
- 43:48SPEAKER_04: And honestly, you can do a lot more content with cars than you can your house.
- 43:52SPEAKER_04: And technically, a car can make you money if you know how to do it right.
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: I say it's smart to buy your house first.
- 43:58SPEAKER_00: That's what I did.
- 43:59SPEAKER_00: I bought the house.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: First, and then I was like, you know what?
- 44:01SPEAKER_00: GTR will come next.
- 44:02SPEAKER_04: Well, let's get into that.
- 44:03SPEAKER_04: So I remember so Jacob and I we work out at the same gym together.
- 44:08SPEAKER_04: So I see him at EO's Fitness, and um I introduce you to my neighbor, Joe.
- 44:13SPEAKER_04: He's just like three blocks down the road.
- 44:15SPEAKER_04: And I remember you were in the process of wanting to get the GTR.
- 44:19SPEAKER_04: And if you know me, I'm always like a supportive person to help anyone with whatever they got going on or their goals or whatever, right?
- 44:25SPEAKER_04: Because like I feel like we need more, like you gotta be the you gotta be the change you wish to see in the world.
- 44:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you feel me?
- 44:31SPEAKER_04: And like I gotta say, big shout out.
- 44:32SPEAKER_04: I'm just gonna do I'm gonna do little quotes here.
- 44:34SPEAKER_04: This dude has been a real one.
- 44:36SPEAKER_04: I mean, back bumper, front bumper, taking shit apart, putting in headlights, putting in tellights, doing the ethanol kit.
- 44:43SPEAKER_04: Like a lot of the shit that I actually worked on to the my car was this dude coming over, not expecting a dime, not asking for money, nothing.
- 44:51SPEAKER_04: I'm like, hey, come over, excuse to do a fucking YouTube video.
- 44:54SPEAKER_04: He's like, all right, all right.
- 44:55SPEAKER_04: So he gets his content, I get my content.
- 44:57SPEAKER_04: Uh I wanted to change the headlights and tellights.
- 44:59SPEAKER_04: I was thinking about it.
- 45:00SPEAKER_04: He inspired me to fucking do the headlights, do the tellights, that type of stuff.
- 45:04SPEAKER_04: So I just want to say I appreciate you always coming through, being a good one, being a homie, being a real one.
- 45:08SPEAKER_04: Um, and on a side note, I'm gonna just be real here.
- 45:11SPEAKER_04: Uh, I told my wife that, and she's all, well, that's what a true friend does.
- 45:15SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, fuck.
- 45:17SPEAKER_04: Because growing up for me, like I had a lot of friends that like either fucked me over or some shit went down, and and or whatever.
- 45:25SPEAKER_04: And long story short, like I wasn't perfect either.
- 45:27SPEAKER_04: I'm not blaming anyone else for my shortcomings.
- 45:30SPEAKER_04: I'm just gonna say that like I haven't really had people in my court recently that I can consider like someone I can call, text, hit up, and like they actually a real one.
- 45:40SPEAKER_04: They actually were like, you know, give you advice or come over and help you, or whatever.
- 45:44SPEAKER_04: So thank you.
- 45:45SPEAKER_04: And also your other half, man.
- 45:47SPEAKER_04: Izzy, shout out.
- 45:48SPEAKER_04: I want to say shout out to her.
- 45:49SPEAKER_04: Last GTR event, she came through, cooked a bunch of food, and like we did freaking ramen, and she was just having a good ass time in the kitchen doing her thing, and she also has a car too.
- 46:00SPEAKER_00: So I just want to she's gonna start driving her car more.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just wait till I finish.
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: Because I I'm gonna work on her car next.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: Like, that's the goal.
- 46:08SPEAKER_00: So I saw you already do it last night, so better fuel system, get all that done.
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: The fuel, yeah.
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: We replaced the fuel.
- 46:14SPEAKER_00: Shout out to Juan too.
- 46:15SPEAKER_00: He came to help me with that.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, we replaced the fuel pump filter, and um, before he came, I did the injectors myself.
- 46:21SPEAKER_00: Oh no, those park bugs, I replaced them myself.
- 46:23SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 46:24SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, everything's running solid.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: Now I'm just gonna start more like wrapping it.
- 46:29SPEAKER_00: And um, I kind of want to get new wheels for it, but uh maybe not.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll keep them, just take off the center caps and do like yellow calipers.
- 46:36SPEAKER_00: But I'm planning to wrap it midnight purple.
- 46:39SPEAKER_00: That'd be sick.
- 46:40SPEAKER_00: PPF wrap.
- 46:40SPEAKER_00: That'd be sick.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: I was thinking of doing Millennium Jade, like two matching cars, but I'm gonna do Midnight Purple.
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: All right, it's technically still the same thing, but yeah, she's gonna want to start driving her car.
- 46:50SPEAKER_00: Just wait for it.
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: I know she's gonna be like, babe, let me take the Evo, because she doesn't really drive it as much.
- 46:54SPEAKER_00: She has her own daily.
- 46:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that's why I sold my daily.
- 46:57SPEAKER_00: Now I drive that car like almost every day.
- 47:00SPEAKER_04: Wow, that's what's up.
- 47:02SPEAKER_04: Shout out.
- 47:02SPEAKER_04: It's cool because now he wants to serve his partner and get her her shit right because you know it's a good car, it's an Evo, it's a lot of potential, they don't make him anymore on top of doing his car, which is super dope.
- 47:14SPEAKER_04: I I love that, and uh, and that's awesome.
- 47:16SPEAKER_04: So I want to get back into the GTR, purchasing the GTR, and we just talked about like, okay, supercar, house first, and you said house first.
- 47:24SPEAKER_04: My wife would say house first, right?
- 47:26SPEAKER_04: That's what I did too.
- 47:27SPEAKER_04: Um, but I remember you wanted to get the car, and then during this time, I interviewed you with Joe, and they were talking about, hey, well, maybe you can refinance if you can save some cash, plus also roommates, so you can then house hack and be able to have other people pay for your shit.
- 47:41SPEAKER_04: I think at that time you did have someone in the house helping you with the rent, and then you introduced you to Joe, and then what you refinanced and got it all the numbers to work out perfectly.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when I first moved in, um I had Manny.
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: You remember Manny, right?
- 47:55SPEAKER_00: My friend with the white 370Z and small.
- 47:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was living with me for some time, I don't know, maybe like two years, a little over.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: And then um Kylie is his friend.
- 48:03SPEAKER_00: She moved in after like a year.
- 48:05SPEAKER_00: So I at that time I had a full house.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: Dang.
- 48:08SPEAKER_00: But um I think she actually moved in after we were financed, I don't know.
- 48:12SPEAKER_00: But uh, yeah, he Joe, shout out to him, he helped take a lot of weight off our shoulders too.
- 48:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah, shout out Joe.
- 48:19SPEAKER_04: We haven't got it on the show just yet.
- 48:20SPEAKER_04: But really?
- 48:21SPEAKER_04: No, we haven't had Joe or his partner Ashley on yet because Joe and Ashley are a little bit more of an introvert.
- 48:27SPEAKER_04: They don't really like going out to a lot of events, being around a lot of people.
- 48:31SPEAKER_04: Um, they like doing their own thing.
- 48:33SPEAKER_04: They have their their their fur babies, you know, their two uh Jeddah and um and uh I want to say Drake, but that was their other dog.
- 48:40SPEAKER_04: Um Jeddah and why Louie.
- 48:44SPEAKER_04: Or their two uh pugs, so that's their thing.
- 48:46SPEAKER_04: And um I think I think I'm gonna cross Joe's another real one, good friend.
- 48:52SPEAKER_04: You need anything.
- 48:53SPEAKER_04: He's awesome, dude.
- 48:55SPEAKER_04: He's a little bit more like arm's length with him.
- 48:58SPEAKER_04: He he's not really like, uh come on in, give you a hug.
- 49:01SPEAKER_04: Like it's not his thing.
- 49:01SPEAKER_04: He's like kind of like uh, but uh, but he's a good dude.
- 49:04SPEAKER_04: Like I literally, and I'll get into the story here in a second, the shit that I'm going through.
- 49:07SPEAKER_04: Um was actually just text messaging the AC guy because he's helping us with our upstairs unit right now.
- 49:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, um, but yeah, shout out to Joe.
- 49:13SPEAKER_04: We'll have to give him on the show.
- 49:14SPEAKER_04: But that's awesome that he helps you with that refinance, and the timing was freaking perfect, bro.
- 49:19SPEAKER_04: It was like run the money.
- 49:20SPEAKER_04: It was like God being like, all right, Jacob, here's your time.
- 49:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he did.
- 49:26SPEAKER_00: Like I said, he helped us a lot, and then I was even able to save more money because of him too.
- 49:31SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 49:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we would be able to save a lot more money than I think.
- 49:34SPEAKER_04: Let's go.
- 49:35SPEAKER_04: That's the sub.
- 49:36SPEAKER_04: So, hey, y'all have a house you potentially can refinance, you can cash out refinance, you could do a HELOC.
- 49:41SPEAKER_04: This isn't financial advice, but you can get your dream car.
- 49:44SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 49:45SPEAKER_04: Like, what I did was before I got mine, when we moved out here, we already had this house.
- 49:50SPEAKER_04: Melissa was teaching, and I had Jordan in Primrose.
- 49:54SPEAKER_04: So she was like, not first grade, this is like pre-K.
- 49:57SPEAKER_04: So I was paying like$1,200 a month for that.
- 50:00SPEAKER_04: And so when I first got my car, I was like, you know, prices like hardly ever go down with these cars.
- 50:06SPEAKER_04: Like, if y'all don't know, the prices only go up and then they're modified and this and that, and they're even more expensive.
- 50:12SPEAKER_04: So I remember searching, searching, searching, searching.
- 50:15SPEAKER_04: I had one of those like heart to hearts with the wifey.
- 50:17SPEAKER_04: I'm like, it's fucking time, blah blah blah.
- 50:19SPEAKER_04: And like we had a moment, and then after it's all said and done, I think that camera is maxed out over there.
- 50:24SPEAKER_04: Um it's good though.
- 50:25SPEAKER_04: We got two more, we got two more, we're good.
- 50:27SPEAKER_04: Good.
- 50:27SPEAKER_04: I don't gotta look that way.
- 50:28SPEAKER_04: I'll just look over here.
- 50:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 50:29SPEAKER_04: So, um, so we're gonna clean up that see file management.
- 50:33SPEAKER_04: That's a whole nother thing.
- 50:34SPEAKER_04: So I'm looking for assistant file management, set up the studio.
- 50:38SPEAKER_04: Somebody want to help them?
- 50:39SPEAKER_04: I need some fucking help, man.
- 50:40SPEAKER_04: So uh, so yeah, so we had a heart to heart, and I just said, All right, she's gonna be done with the school, she's going to go to a charter, we can save the$1,200 a month.
- 50:49SPEAKER_04: And she said, All right, you can get your car.
- 50:51SPEAKER_04: So I said, cool.
- 50:52SPEAKER_04: And the mark at the market was doing decent at that time.
- 50:55SPEAKER_04: So I was gonna put like seven or eight thousand down.
- 50:57SPEAKER_04: I found this car on uh what was it, uh, car guru.
- 51:02SPEAKER_04: This car was online for 267 days, bro.
- 51:05SPEAKER_04: And it was like shitty photos, it was a private seller.
- 51:10SPEAKER_04: I'm like, nah, this can't be real.
- 51:13SPEAKER_04: So I he wanted like 77.
- 51:14SPEAKER_04: So I shot him a like I said, I said, hey, would you take 75?
- 51:18SPEAKER_04: And he said, yeah.
- 51:19SPEAKER_04: And I was like, oh shit.
- 51:20SPEAKER_04: So the next thing you know, we swapped numbers.
- 51:21SPEAKER_04: I was talking to him, everything else.
- 51:23SPEAKER_04: I got him down to 72.
- 51:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I got him down to 72 because then I had because I went through a company that specializes in, so you could either lease a supercar or you can finance a supercar, and depending on the type of car, you can get up to like a 10-year term.
- 51:39SPEAKER_04: If the car's over like, I think over like 60, 70 grand or something like that.
- 51:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 51:43SPEAKER_04: So I went through this one company, which I refinanced out of because it was like 810 at almost 10%, which is a little high, and it was for um what was it for 10-year term?
- 51:56SPEAKER_04: So I ended up refinancing that down by five years, and then now I'm down, I now I'm like a thousand dollars a month.
- 52:03SPEAKER_04: But because she was in that school and I did what I did, it all worked out to get the car.
- 52:08SPEAKER_04: Um, and now it's like I have a TRX.
- 52:11SPEAKER_04: And and so the TRX is like twelve hundred and fifty a month.
- 52:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 52:15SPEAKER_04: And the GTR is a thousand a month.
- 52:17SPEAKER_04: So I'm at like a house payment.
- 52:19SPEAKER_04: I'm at like twenty five hundred a month just in two cars.
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: Hey, you erase your house, bro, and you race your cars, same thing.
- 52:24SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 52:25SPEAKER_04: I love it, bro.
- 52:25SPEAKER_04: I wouldn't change it for the world.
- 52:27SPEAKER_04: And uh right now I'm just working on paying them.
- 52:30SPEAKER_04: So I'm about to be I'm about to be in the 50s.
- 52:33SPEAKER_04: I only owe 50, oh like 59, 50, 58 some change by this month in May on the on the TRX, and I'm only gonna owe 40s, like 48 on the GTR.
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: So when did you get that GTR?
- 52:46SPEAKER_00: Like what year did you get it?
- 52:47SPEAKER_04: I got it three and a half years ago.
- 52:49SPEAKER_04: Okay, so what are we at 26?
- 52:51SPEAKER_04: So that was at twenty f 2024, something like that.
- 52:54SPEAKER_00: So literally the same time around me then, because I got mine in April 2024.
- 52:58SPEAKER_04: I think it was like or like six months apart.
- 53:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I got mine in April 2024.
- 53:02SPEAKER_04: Six to eight months apart.
- 53:03SPEAKER_04: It wasn't much, you know.
- 53:04SPEAKER_04: So so I think that like for me, it took me 10 years before getting my car.
- 53:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I would say I respect it more because of it.
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: Mine is a 2013, um, and I bought it with all the mods, yep, except for um the cosmetics.
- 53:20SPEAKER_00: Like he well, he left me like the front lip and the side skirt and the rear diffuser.
- 53:24SPEAKER_00: I don't even know I had a rear diffuser.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 53:26SPEAKER_00: I just thought it was a stock one.
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, what diffuser is that dude?
- 53:29SPEAKER_00: I don't fucking know.
- 53:30SPEAKER_00: It's a stock one.
- 53:30SPEAKER_00: So I looked at the screenshot that I had of all the models.
- 53:33SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh shit, it is an actual aftermarket one.
- 53:35SPEAKER_00: And some guy was like, Oh shit.
- 53:37SPEAKER_00: You want to sell it?
- 53:38SPEAKER_00: I was like, no, not really.
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 53:40SPEAKER_00: He's like, Well, I can't find it anywhere.
- 53:41SPEAKER_00: I was like, shit, it's discontinued or something.
- 53:43SPEAKER_00: No shit.
- 53:44SPEAKER_00: Anyways, um, yeah, mine's a 2013.
- 53:46SPEAKER_00: I got it with 60,000 miles.
- 53:48SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you got it yours with less miles, right?
- 53:49SPEAKER_00: 30'37,000.
- 53:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you got a deal.
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: 4016.
- 53:52SPEAKER_00: Because I got mine for mine was up for 75.
- 53:54SPEAKER_00: I I got him down at 70.
- 53:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 53:57SPEAKER_00: I almost had them at 68, but I got it, I got it for 70.
- 53:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 54:00SPEAKER_00: I put uh just like you, I put like well, actually I put less, I put 6,000 down.
- 54:04SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 54:05SPEAKER_00: And the rest I got in a loan.
- 54:06SPEAKER_04: Very, very similar.
- 54:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think uh, I mean, well, the the thing is is that mine states five owners, and then it has some accidents on it.
- 54:15SPEAKER_04: And one company I was in a finance through said there was some fishy business with the car fax because it potentially was uh insurance fraud.
- 54:22SPEAKER_04: I'm like, I don't care what happened with insurance fraud.
- 54:25SPEAKER_04: That's something I didn't do shit.
- 54:27SPEAKER_04: Like, I'm just trying to buy the car.
- 54:28SPEAKER_04: And because if you don't already know, GTR tax is a thing, and so people do that shit, get a little fender bender, whatever, and then they can get cashed out for a cool five to ten, fifteen thousand dollars.
- 54:39SPEAKER_04: Um, and so I know that the front end was replaced, I know the back end had a little blemish on it, I know that it said five owners, but the thing that if you don't already know, uh if you lease a car and then buy a car and you're the same owner, it shows two owners.
- 54:53SPEAKER_04: And if a dealer buys the car and then they sell the car, that shows another owner.
- 54:57SPEAKER_04: So that's where I feel like the original person leased it, bought it out, a dealer had it, the guy he bought it, and then I have it.
- 55:05SPEAKER_04: So technically, I think it really only had three owners, technically.
- 55:09SPEAKER_04: And at 37,000 miles for 2016, I'm like, I mean, come on, like how much could have you know been the car been through or whatever?
- 55:16SPEAKER_04: And so now I'm at like 48,000 car.
- 55:20SPEAKER_00: I'm at I'll buy mine with 60, I'm at 87 now.
- 55:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I know people say, Oh, you shouldn't drive because we sell like fuck that we sell value, dude.
- 55:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I have the car, you're like, we're only so young.
- 55:29SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, you think I want I bought something just to keep in the garage?
- 55:33SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm gonna drive that shit.
- 55:34SPEAKER_00: That's true.
- 55:35SPEAKER_00: And then with these cars, dude, when you take them out, like you break so much next, they're badass.
- 55:40SPEAKER_00: Like, you why am I gonna let it sit in the garage?
- 55:43SPEAKER_00: Like, it's it's a beast, it wants to be taken out.
- 55:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like think about it.
- 55:46SPEAKER_00: When you push a gas on it, it just wants to freaking go, right?
- 55:48SPEAKER_00: You don't want to like take it out, dude.
- 55:50SPEAKER_00: Enjoy it, you know what I mean?
- 55:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you have to.
- 55:52SPEAKER_00: You have to.
- 55:53SPEAKER_00: The resale value is so good on these cars, like the price we paid for our cars, right?
- 55:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, being they're a little bit newer, right now you can get nines or 2010 for the 70 or 80,000.
- 56:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like 70, 80,000 miles.
- 56:07SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: So now I'm like, dude, if I sell mine, what I would probably sell at the same price I bought it for.
- 56:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
- 56:14SPEAKER_04: I could probably get 90s, probably 90s or even closer to the 100 range just because I have the Gucci interior now.
- 56:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't think anyone's ever done that before.
- 56:23SPEAKER_04: Um, the back bumper is not the original color.
- 56:26SPEAKER_04: I have the original color, the original back bumper, because the guy didn't color match it properly, the person I bought it from.
- 56:33SPEAKER_04: Um, but yeah, I mean, and to get the modifications, I mean, just doing an ethanol kit was like, it's like what?
- 56:38SPEAKER_04: I think it's close to five grand after it's all said and done.
- 56:40SPEAKER_04: Like the fuel pumps, everything.
- 56:42SPEAKER_04: I think it's like four to five thousand.
- 56:44SPEAKER_04: I got a I got a really good deal because I like to look for fucking deals and shit.
- 56:48SPEAKER_04: That's just not kind of thing.
- 56:49SPEAKER_04: I ended up getting 13 CC injectors from like Paul, who owns frickin' the body shop out here.
- 56:54SPEAKER_04: And if you know Paul, he has the uh the the what is it, the Rualto, the purple one.
- 56:59SPEAKER_04: So 400 bucks, it was freaking dirt ass cheap.
- 57:02SPEAKER_04: So, you know, and then GTR tax is real, but you gotta know like that's why I was grateful that we did a lot of the work ourselves with the car because like I got clips right there.
- 57:12SPEAKER_04: I got those new gloves, I got the the clips are right there for the front bumper.
- 57:16SPEAKER_04: I gotta go put those on and and and finish it.
- 57:18SPEAKER_04: But you learn so much, yeah.
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: Dude, the thing is, I never wanted to work on cars, like I never worked on them as much, right?
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 57:25SPEAKER_00: I done my fair share with the G37, you know.
- 57:28SPEAKER_00: Uh uh the basic shit I know it.
- 57:29SPEAKER_00: Changing your spark blocks tire, old change, like that shit's I know that simple shit.
- 57:35SPEAKER_00: But um, I mean, we've done like myself, I've done like coilovers, brakes, uh like the whole base, like pattern rotors, um headlights, taillights in the infinity.
- 57:45SPEAKER_00: I've done that shit too.
- 57:47SPEAKER_00: Um even the hood and the trunk on the infinity.
- 57:50SPEAKER_00: I think I ended up installing it myself.
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: Um but I never really like to work like I don't dive deep into the engine.
- 57:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 57:59SPEAKER_00: And then with this car too, like I don't work on it myself as much.
- 58:02SPEAKER_00: The Evo, yes, the GTR.
- 58:04SPEAKER_00: I I just don't want to do it.
- 58:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:05SPEAKER_00: So I I um I have Manny just do a lot of the work for me.
- 58:09SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 58:09SPEAKER_00: He he's cool, he's he's one of my good friends.
- 58:12SPEAKER_00: He does all that shit for me.
- 58:13SPEAKER_00: So he's shout out to him for that too.
- 58:15SPEAKER_04: You know what's interesting?
- 58:16SPEAKER_04: Speaking of work on GTRs, people think that like it's so expensive for like oil changes and shit like that.
- 58:22SPEAKER_04: And I actually saw a video, and the GTR is classified when it comes to oil changes, just as like a we'll just say Ultima.
- 58:30SPEAKER_04: So I think I'm gonna call the dealer and find out for the next for the next oil change because I've d done a few myself, and then I've had a few done because of like a couple shops I was working at.
- 58:41SPEAKER_04: Um, the thing that I like about working on cars myself personally is downtime because you your car's never really down, you know.
- 58:48SPEAKER_04: It's like you have it in your possession the whole time, and then you're doing the bumper, or you're changing the oil, or you're doing whatever the fuck you're doing, yeah, and then it's only down for the time that you're working on it.
- 58:56SPEAKER_04: You still have it, and then you're done, and then easy peasy.
- 58:59SPEAKER_04: Like we did lights, same day, done, and then I can just drive the next day.
- 59:02SPEAKER_04: So that's one thing I like.
- 59:04SPEAKER_04: Um, I know some people, man, they're dealing with like, man, like shout out Loon.
- 59:08SPEAKER_04: He has that uh twin turbo Evo, he blew his fucking transmission, and like now his car has been down for like a month.
- 59:15SPEAKER_04: It's like sucks to have a car or even a payment that's like five thousand a month, and you're like, don't even have the car to drive, you know?
- 59:24SPEAKER_04: It's like, oh shit.
- 59:25SPEAKER_00: Like when I had the oil leak for the turbo line, yeah, I was like, fuck, dude, I'm paying for a car that doesn't run.
- 59:31SPEAKER_00: You had to drop you had to drop your motor, right?
- 59:33SPEAKER_00: For little house lines.
- 59:35SPEAKER_00: Oil line.
- 59:36SPEAKER_00: And at that time, like I wasn't making too much money because I got laid off work.
- 59:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 59:41SPEAKER_00: And if I was, I was like, dude, I would be down to do a turbo upgrade, but I was like, not the smartest thing right now because I wasn't making just like right now.
- 59:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 59:48SPEAKER_00: And then I'm not working as much.
- 59:49SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah.
- 59:50SPEAKER_00: Like I'm working a lot of hours.
- 59:52SPEAKER_00: Like Saturday, I used to, um, as of this week or last week, I won't be doing 14 hour days on Saturdays no more because I used to do that.
- 59:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 59:59SPEAKER_00: So now it's just gonna be like a 12, 10 hour day.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_00: Um and then the rest of the week, like I told you, going at three or four in the morning, I'm off at nine.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_00: And if I get called to drive, I do take it because it's like double fay.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_00: But I'm not making much money like I used to.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_00: Like I went from making when I was like full because I'm part-time, right?
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when I'm full-time driving, every week I would take home about like 22 to 2400.
- 1:00:23SPEAKER_01: That's what's up.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_00: And now I I'm not even taking that much.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_00: So I don't even want to say it.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_00: It's way less than that, bro.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so what got you into UPS and like that that job, that company, and getting to that line of work?
- 1:00:34SPEAKER_04: My friend Luis.

- 1:00:46SPEAKER_04: He inspired me to get the instant 360.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_04: So I have that.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_04: That was one of the angles, but can you believe it already an hour?
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_04: It only lasted an hour because I'm out of drama.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_04: Out of room on that card.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, we've been friends since high school, dude.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_00: And he's um he's always pushed me, like, hey, like, do YouTube or like what when I started doing YouTube after high school, he's like, dude, you should do this shit more.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_00: Like, you need to do this shit more.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: But I never was consistent with it.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, we've been friends for a while, and yeah.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_04: That's cool.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_04: It's cool when you have ruins like that that help I really believe in you, because like we've been telling Jacob, you know, for a while, like, hey, dude, like, cause his views, like he'll post something on Instagram, get all these views and shit.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_04: I'm like, bro, like, why don't you not go in deeper with that?
- 1:01:33SPEAKER_04: And then it's just like, and then he's like, you know, hot and cold a little bit with the YouTube thing, busy with work, whatever.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_04: And um, and that's why Luis shout out got the instant 365, so that way you could do that.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_04: So then you get into videos doing that a little bit more.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_04: I mean, what's like when you think about you know the dream?
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Like, well, you know, I know you have you merch, you know, I have your shirt too.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_04: I wore it yesterday at the gym, he's wearing it right now.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_04: That's a sub.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_04: So, what's the dream as far as like if you were to think about the future Jacob's life?
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_04: What does it look like?
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_00: So I'll start before, right?
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_00: I used to work at USPS, right?
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_00: Oh no shit.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but before that with the UPS, me and Louis.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_00: Well, he still does.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_00: Well, I I did.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_00: Um, I used to work at UPS, um, but then I left, but then I found out how much drivers made.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_00: Uh and then I was like, fuck, I just missed out on the opportunity.
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_00: Because I was working at USPS, I hated my life over there, bro.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_01: Really?
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_00: And it just got worse.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_00: And I left and I went to UPS.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_00: And uh it's just I guess I got inspired just to be there.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_00: And I was like, you know, I enjoy it.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_00: I don't love it, but I enjoy it.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_00: I was like, but I can use this shit towards like my next stepping stone in life, right?
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_00: Um but the dream life for me after that would be like because I told you how I'm diving deep into like day trading.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_00: I've been dude, I've been trading since 2020.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_00: No shit, six years.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_00: Day trading, I started doing it like last year, right?
- 1:02:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I never was like I've been I'm on a I'm not on a funded account right now, I'm on a paper trading account.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've been I've been failing left and right, but I think now I'm starting to get an idea.
- 1:03:04SPEAKER_00: Which I I thought I was behind, right?
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, everybody's ahead of me on this, like what the fuck?
- 1:03:09SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm not on time.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_00: But there's people that had it worse than me.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_00: Like it took them like eight to ten years to be profitable.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_00: Um but that would be the dream life for me, is just not having to work anymore, just like content and just trading.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_00: And with me, I focus on so much shit.
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_00: Like I'm a hustler, you know what I mean?
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, oh, I want to do this, I want to do that, I want to do this.
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_00: Like, I sometimes I tell myself, like, dude, like one thing at a time.
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_00: Like you can't, and then I learned from um people too, like a lot of influencers that talk, they're like, dude, a lot of people get burnt out because they tell themselves that they want to do like three different things at once when that's not the case.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_00: You know him.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_00: What's his name?
- 1:03:49SPEAKER_00: Um, the dude with the long hair.

- 1:03:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_00: He says this shit.
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_00: He's like, dude, people like focus on so many things at one uh like at a time, they should just focus on one thing and just run with that.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_04: That was my issue.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_04: That was my issue, bro.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_04: In my 20s, bro, I was like parties, promotion, I was doing security work, and then I was doing my daytime shit.
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_04: So I was working on like I was doing like like cleaning houses, fucking, selling shit on fucking line for friends, chauffeuring people to the airport.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_04: I was doing all this shit.
- 1:04:22SPEAKER_04: I remember I hit a wall hella hard because I was getting tough with the I would get party buses, I would fill in with 27 people, we would go to like a club and we'd have bottle service and I would charge each person ahead, like 60, 70 bucks a head.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_04: And then I would make a margin off of each person to put all this together as like a party promotion planner.
- 1:04:40SPEAKER_04: Then I got into the security stuff, yeah, and I was doing the doing the bouncing, and um, and so all that I got to a point where I was like, I hit a wall and I was like, I'm fucking done.
- 1:04:50SPEAKER_04: So I got done with all the parties, all the promotion, all that shit.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_04: I just said fuck that, and I went fully on just live, I was it was personal assistance.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_04: I was doing a lot of concierge type stuff and driving and stuff before I got into finding finding the real estate industry and then really getting into liftoff and focusing on the one thing, man.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_04: I mean, almost 500 clients and like 22 on staff almost now.

- 1:05:17SPEAKER_04: Um, personally, I'm making like almost 12,000 a month, and it's just like the cars I have, the house I have, all this shit.
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_04: It's like what the and like this is this is just a passion project, bro.
- 1:05:27SPEAKER_04: Like, nothing to sell, you people.

- 1:13:23SPEAKER_04: So it's like the same shit when you have a company, it's just you don't have to be doing some other type shit.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_04: Because I can imagine driving, it's pretty mindless.
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_04: Like you just know your route, you just bump music and drive.
- 1:13:34SPEAKER_04: You can listen to a book, you can talk to your boys, they're also driving, but you don't have to like it doesn't take that much brain power.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_04: You're not like writing a book or some shit.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_04: What do you think?
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, dude, sometimes I get put on these routes that are like all industrial business routes.
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_00: Oh, really?
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_00: And you're like, fuck, dude, I gotta pick up here, deliver here at this time.

- 1:13:58SPEAKER_00: And you're like, dude, I can't talk to you guys.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_00: I gotta call you guys back later.
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm kind of going through it right now.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
- 1:14:03SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it does get like, you know, a little stressful.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_00: But um you develop a habit, you're like, okay, yeah, I think I know what I'm doing.
- 1:14:11SPEAKER_00: Once you get comfortable with the route, you know, like if you know if you know that the area that you're in, you don't sweat it.
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think drivers, like all this AI and all this type of shit.
- 1:14:19SPEAKER_04: Like, I don't think drivers and delivery and all that type of stuff is gonna be replaced by any type of AI robot, nothing for they're gonna crash out.
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_00: Those AIs are gonna crash out, dude.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_04: Well, that's the thing.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_00: Overheat.
- 1:14:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:14:30SPEAKER_00: You fucking yesterday, so you know how I got called into work?
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_00: Um, like I was telling you, I worked from like 3:45 a.m.
- 1:14:37SPEAKER_00: to 9 a.m., right?
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_00: I got home, I was like, all right, I'm gonna go take my pre-workout and I'll go to work.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_00: Chug my pre-workout, creatine, my fish oil, my um like the pills uh, and then the um apple cider vinegar, I take those pills too.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'm pumped, let's go to the gym.
- 1:14:52SPEAKER_00: I'm all jittery and shit.
- 1:14:53SPEAKER_00: And I get a call.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_00: Hey, you want to drive it?
- 1:14:55SPEAKER_00: I was like, fuck.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, I just took a scoop of pre-workout, but sure.
- 1:15:00SPEAKER_00: And I was at work freaking tweaking.
- 1:15:02SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, like lifting packages like nothing or whatever.
- 1:15:06SPEAKER_04: But yeah, and yeah.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_04: Damn, bro.
- 1:15:10SPEAKER_04: That's the thing too.
- 1:15:11SPEAKER_04: It's like being on call because you are part-time.
- 1:15:13SPEAKER_04: It's like a lot of these individuals, like I was talking to your boy, like, he's like, Yeah, I have my route, it's the same.
- 1:15:19SPEAKER_04: I just work my hours.
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_04: It's like very much like, but it seems like they know they can rely on you, and they probably have certain people that they can call if they need to.
- 1:15:27SPEAKER_04: That's kind of like the floater, and that's where I feel like you're you're really kind of valuable in that lane because they know that you're always dependable.
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_04: Like, if some shit hits the fan, they need you for whatever.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but then it's also kind of like uh damned if you do damage if you don't, because you're kind of like stuck in that area where it's like you want that next fucking level of full-time driving, but that's also like it's almost like uh God challenging us.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_04: You know, it's almost like uh, you know, are you really gonna do your videos?
- 1:15:55SPEAKER_04: Are you gonna do your merch?
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_04: Are you gonna start taking control of your trading?
- 1:15:58SPEAKER_00: Like, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:15:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, and you know what I noticed is like when I have free time like this, right?
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_00: Like, for example, yesterday I did a 14-hour date.
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and going back to like you know, it being hot and humans, you know, being replaced by AI and shit, that guy crashed out.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_00: Like he had a heat exhaustion, so he dropped his route.
- 1:16:15SPEAKER_00: So I had to go finish his route for him.
- 1:16:17SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_00: But um, yeah, then I think about it too.
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_00: I'm like, dude, like God does things for a reason, whether we like it or not.
- 1:16:25SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, he'll he'll put you like through something, but he won't like choke you to where you can't breathe.
- 1:16:32SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:16:33SPEAKER_00: Like he'll tell you, like, hey, like I feel like all this is happening because it's his way of telling me, you know, like, dude, focus on your merch.
- 1:16:41SPEAKER_00: Yep, focus on your videos, yep.
- 1:16:42SPEAKER_00: Your day trading.
- 1:16:43SPEAKER_00: I've dive in more.
- 1:16:44SPEAKER_00: I downloaded a whole fucking module about day trading.
- 1:16:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I'm reading it right now, like how I should enter, exit, straight.
- 1:16:50SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm even journaling trades, trying to general like, okay, this day, what did I do wrong?
- 1:16:55SPEAKER_00: This day, what did I do right?
- 1:16:56SPEAKER_00: Well, how can I improve this?
- 1:16:57SPEAKER_00: How can I like do the perfect?
- 1:17:00SPEAKER_00: It's never gonna go perfect on day trading, yeah.
- 1:17:02SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 1:17:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I was like, if I can if I trade five days a week and I tell myself if I can hit three Elliots, okay, I'm chilling.
- 1:17:11SPEAKER_04: And then what is like an Ellie?
- 1:17:14SPEAKER_00: So today, for example, right?
- 1:17:16SPEAKER_00: I made 600 bucks in in 15 minutes.
- 1:17:19SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
- 1:17:20SPEAKER_00: I love that.
- 1:17:20SPEAKER_00: And I was like, dude, I make that shit working a 13 to 14 hour day.
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_04: That's God also showing you a lesson.
- 1:17:29SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:17:30SPEAKER_00: And I've if I can also make more at work if I'm making double payback.
- 1:17:34SPEAKER_00: So I was like, dude, I did that shit in one day.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_00: If I can do this that's what doctors make in a day.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_00: I was like, if I did and yeah, yes, it's all paper trading.
- 1:17:44SPEAKER_00: I know it's paper trading, right?
- 1:17:46SPEAKER_00: But I was like, dude, if I can apply this method and I can get it down, I can make this shit happen.
- 1:17:53SPEAKER_00: So I don't have to work anymore.
- 1:17:55SPEAKER_04: I'm right there with you, and I support that fucking, I support that whole thing because I was literally in the markets, and this has happened to me multiple times.
- 1:18:04SPEAKER_04: So I was telling you about fucking this is not financial advice, but I'll tell you all too.
- 1:18:09SPEAKER_04: Uh Dynasty Tech 1000 Inc.

- 1:18:32SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 1:18:33SPEAKER_04: And I should have, I should have cashed out that thousand.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_04: So this week alone, I could have probably cashed out, I would say just conservatively, like thousand to fifteen hundred bucks.
- 1:18:41SPEAKER_00: So what what's that stock about that you're talking about?
- 1:18:43SPEAKER_04: So and I didn't do that, and so I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but I'm gonna do it next time I've cash out and then I'm gonna rebuy and get more stocks.
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.

- 1:19:16SPEAKER_04: I'm in different like either YouTube channels or following people on Instagram.
- 1:19:21SPEAKER_04: I'm not in any specific course, but I heard and watched a lot of videos saying that this is one of the ones that's gonna blow up.
- 1:19:27SPEAKER_04: So this is the crazy thing.

- 1:19:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:19:46SPEAKER_04: So I see sevens.
- 1:19:47SPEAKER_04: And so at the top, it was like God saying, Hey, 7117, it should have sold at that point, right?
- 1:19:54SPEAKER_04: And I was just like, uh, so now when it goes, because you don't know, right?
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_04: You know, because you because like it goes up and then you get excited, and you're like, well, how much further can it go?
- 1:20:03SPEAKER_00: It's like you're almost greedy, yes, instead of just being like, fuck it, dude.
- 1:20:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've you know how many times I shot myself in the foot with that?
- 1:20:10SPEAKER_00: Me too.

- 1:20:16SPEAKER_00: Um, there was a stock called during COVID called Nyo or Neo.
- 1:20:20SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:20:21SPEAKER_00: I bought it at$3 a share.
- 1:20:23SPEAKER_00: I thought it went up to$70.
- 1:20:24SPEAKER_00: I sold it and I was like, dude, if I would have put in more I know it's the past, you can't speak about it, right?
- 1:20:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:29SPEAKER_00: But I was like, that's kind of what gave me hope.
- 1:20:31SPEAKER_00: It's like, dude, there's opportunities for you.
- 1:20:33SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh, yeah, it ends right there because I lost.
- 1:20:36SPEAKER_00: And then talking about being greedy.
- 1:20:38SPEAKER_00: I one time I had an option trade that I hit.
- 1:20:42SPEAKER_00: I made$1,500 in one day or$1,600.
- 1:20:46SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:20:47SPEAKER_00: I got greedy.
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_00: I put everything on the next day.
- 1:20:51SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 1:20:52SPEAKER_00: But you know what?
- 1:20:53SPEAKER_00: It's alright.
- 1:20:54SPEAKER_00: Everything happens for a reason because it God tells you certain things like, hey, don't get greedy, don't, you know, don't risk something that you shouldn't be risking that much.
- 1:21:04SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:21:04SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:21:05SPEAKER_04: So you told me um to get into and buy, you remember freaking this one?
- 1:21:12SPEAKER_04: Was it so fun?
- 1:21:12SPEAKER_04: DigiCoin.
- 1:21:13SPEAKER_04: Remember DigiCoin?
- 1:21:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:21:14SPEAKER_04: You're like, oh yeah, this is a blah blah blah.
- 1:21:16SPEAKER_04: So I bought in on that one at$500.
- 1:21:19SPEAKER_04: It's worth$2.15, never sold.
- 1:21:21SPEAKER_04: It went up to$900.
- 1:21:22SPEAKER_04: I was up$400.
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_04: Should have cashed out and didn't do it.
- 1:21:27SPEAKER_04: And then, and then um, so that what happened.
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_04: Then Dogecoin.
- 1:21:31SPEAKER_04: So I have$26,000 Dogecoins.
- 1:21:34SPEAKER_04: This shit, I'm down$5,000 because it went all the way up to freaking, it went from$200 investment to$20,000 or$10,000.
- 1:21:43SPEAKER_04: My wife also had invested the same, so she had$10,000.
- 1:21:46SPEAKER_04: So we had$20,000 combined, and we didn't fucking sell.
- 1:21:49SPEAKER_04: And I'm still just holding on to it and see when it's gonna potentially, you know, do its thing.
- 1:21:53SPEAKER_04: You know, and not to talk about all the you know, woo-me, all sad shit, but you know, it's like I've had some good moments.
- 1:22:00SPEAKER_04: I've pulled out fucking some equity to to get the GTR.
- 1:22:04SPEAKER_04: I pulled shit out to buy rims.
- 1:22:07SPEAKER_04: So like it's not, you know, it's just I think you gotta you gotta buy when you hear the rumor and you sell the news.
- 1:22:16SPEAKER_04: And and if if you can listen to your intuition, and if you're trying to be greedy when it's at the top, you just gotta like just be done and just do it.
- 1:22:22SPEAKER_04: Like, say for instance, UFC fight last weekend it was Sean and the other dude, and I should have freaking picked the underdog.
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_04: More people were picking the other underdog, but then I did some chat GPT, I did some research, and they said, Oh, the other guy, yada yada yada, and then the odds were in his favor like crazy.
- 1:22:38SPEAKER_04: And I was like, uh, and I didn't end up not doing shit, but I could have made frickin' like 500 off of a hundred bucks real quick.
- 1:22:44SPEAKER_04: Or I could have made a couple thousand.
- 1:22:45SPEAKER_04: Strictly in that one, right?
- 1:22:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I don't I don't even watch my watch fights, but yeah.
- 1:22:49SPEAKER_04: I will I'm just gonna drop his name, Son.
- 1:22:52SPEAKER_04: See if you guys on the podcast, if he's watching this, I bet he's not.
- 1:22:54SPEAKER_04: Uh he he posted some shit about the fight, and I'm like, oh, if he's posting some shit, then I gotta see what's up.
- 1:22:59SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_04: Just success leaves clues, and you gotta follow the people that are you know that are that are making making moves.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_00: Son is he's a cool dude, bro.
- 1:23:08SPEAKER_00: I look up to him too.
- 1:23:09SPEAKER_00: He's I barely met him, right?
- 1:23:11SPEAKER_00: But he knows my friend Brian.
- 1:23:13SPEAKER_00: Brian is also one of my other friends.
- 1:23:14SPEAKER_00: He has that black GTR.
- 1:23:15SPEAKER_00: I think he met him, the other Vietnamese dude.
- 1:23:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Brian is also one of my longtime cool friends.
- 1:23:20SPEAKER_00: He um he's helped me out a lot.
- 1:23:23SPEAKER_00: Like, just by being a good friend, he always like like sometimes when I'm hard on myself, it doesn't mean, dude, like it's not everything.
- 1:23:29SPEAKER_00: You know, don't make it seem like it needs to be like stress yourself out over shit.
- 1:23:33SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:23:34SPEAKER_00: Like and those kind of people I I surround myself with because they're successful, because I want to be like them.
- 1:23:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah, amen.
- 1:23:39SPEAKER_04: You know, that's that's that's lift off right there.
- 1:23:41SPEAKER_04: And that's association, y'all.
- 1:23:43SPEAKER_04: If you're out there, look around who you're with and your friends and like what like what that looks like for you because it makes such a big difference.
- 1:23:50SPEAKER_04: Association, it rubs off big time.
- 1:23:52SPEAKER_04: That's why if I go on my social media, I'm only following shit that supports me.
- 1:23:56SPEAKER_04: I'm only I'm very intentional about what I watch, what I put in my body, how I'm tracking.
- 1:24:00SPEAKER_04: I got the fucking ring, my sleep, all that type of shit.
- 1:24:03SPEAKER_04: So I can just make sure that I'm good.
- 1:24:05SPEAKER_04: Now, one thing lesson-wise for me, and uh maybe you could think about your lessons out there from God, was a slow down.
- 1:24:12SPEAKER_04: Sometimes I'm just going too quick on shit, and just because you can go quick on shit, or maybe you feel like, oh, I can get this whole list and all this stuff checked off, like it's my day is gonna be so much better.
- 1:24:23SPEAKER_04: Like, is it?
- 1:24:25SPEAKER_04: Because I've been dealing with allergies, and I'll tell the story now because I was gonna tell off air, but I'll I'll just we'll tell everyone here, and um, and I'm saying this because this won't go out for another week, and I'll figure out all the legal stuff on the back end, but I don't know, we'll see.
- 1:24:39SPEAKER_04: Long story short, company comes on Friday or the Saturday, today's Friday, to do all the ducks, check for dust.
- 1:24:46SPEAKER_04: I've been dealing with allergies, clean it up real quick.
- 1:24:48SPEAKER_04: This guy's like either Russian or from Syria or something like that.
- 1:24:52SPEAKER_04: It's a heavy accent young dude, like probably in his 20s.
- 1:24:55SPEAKER_04: And he goes up in the attic and he's like moving his ladder and he's fucking hella loud.
- 1:24:58SPEAKER_04: And I was filming some content for liftoff.
- 1:25:00SPEAKER_04: I go out there.
- 1:25:01SPEAKER_04: My wife's like, oh, the guy's upstairs, he's checking the ducks, he's doing his thing.
- 1:25:04SPEAKER_04: It was like 200 bucks for them to clean all the ducts and clean the um the lint in the fucking in the dryer.
- 1:25:10SPEAKER_04: So they just clean everything up, make sure everything is supposed to be like called like airflow.
- 1:25:14SPEAKER_04: So I'm like, cool, I want good airflow, it's summertime.
- 1:25:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:25:17SPEAKER_04: Then he goes and he takes all these pictures.
- 1:25:18SPEAKER_04: He's oh no, no, uh, you're gonna need to get some, you need to triple seal your duct.
- 1:25:23SPEAKER_04: So there's the air handler and there's the duct that goes to air handler, and he's like, You gotta triple seal it.
- 1:25:27SPEAKER_04: You gotta do a zip tie, you gotta do tape, and then you also have to do like silicone around it to triple seal it so that way it doesn't leak any air.
- 1:25:33SPEAKER_04: I'm like, I'm like, this isn't a boosted GTR, bro.
- 1:25:35SPEAKER_04: Like, why does it need to be so fucking sealed?
- 1:25:37SPEAKER_04: A hundred dollars per seal, right?
- 1:25:39SPEAKER_04: Then he says, Oh no, look at this, look at uh what you have here for your insulation.
- 1:25:43SPEAKER_04: And there's a lot of insulation, but like when you go up there, there's a one section that's just a little bit.
- 1:25:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:25:48SPEAKER_04: So he shows me that picture, right?
- 1:25:50SPEAKER_04: And then he's like, Yeah, you see inside your air handler, there's some mold, right?
- 1:25:53SPEAKER_04: And so I said, Okay, got it.
- 1:25:55SPEAKER_04: And so I was like, Yeah, did you close the ducks?
- 1:25:58SPEAKER_04: He's like, Yeah, but they're basically open.
- 1:26:00SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, what the fuck does that mean?
- 1:26:02SPEAKER_04: So he leaves, he's like, I'll send you a quote, whatever.
- 1:26:05SPEAKER_04: And I felt like this like calling, it was almost like God saying, like, hey, go upstairs and check his check his work.
- 1:26:11SPEAKER_04: Because upstairs is getting hot.
- 1:26:12SPEAKER_04: I'm like, why is it getting hot upstairs?
- 1:26:13SPEAKER_04: What the fuck's going on?
- 1:26:14SPEAKER_04: So I go upstairs, I go in the attic yesterday, and then my wife has to put Jordan to sleep.
- 1:26:19SPEAKER_04: We go back and forth.
- 1:26:19SPEAKER_04: I'll put her to sleep.
- 1:26:20SPEAKER_04: She and then I'll put her to sleep.
- 1:26:22SPEAKER_04: So she puts her to sleep.
- 1:26:23SPEAKER_04: I go inside, dude.
- 1:26:24SPEAKER_04: I literally found in the fucking duct, and I'll have to see about maybe I don't know, I'll I'll I'll show you, but I don't know if I'll show everyone out there.
- 1:26:33SPEAKER_04: Maybe if we if I send this to the team, I can I could do that.
- 1:26:36SPEAKER_04: I go up there and oh, that's the ones that oh look at here it is.
- 1:26:40SPEAKER_04: I go up there, he fucking rips the fucking surrounding of the duct, and in between, in between is is like uh insulation with fiberglass.
- 1:26:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, bro, we've been breathing fiberglass the last past three days, and then I come to find out, bro, the fucking unit.
- 1:26:58SPEAKER_04: I go outside, it's like and it's seized up.
- 1:27:01SPEAKER_04: He fucking blew our motor in the AC upstairs because it was overworking for fucking four days straight, dude.
- 1:27:08SPEAKER_04: So he fucked it up.
- 1:27:09SPEAKER_04: He fucked it up.
- 1:27:09SPEAKER_04: And this is the crazy part, bro.
- 1:27:11SPEAKER_04: Look at this shit.
- 1:27:12SPEAKER_04: I'm not just talking, like just to talk.
- 1:27:15SPEAKER_04: Look.
- 1:27:17SPEAKER_04: You see this here?
- 1:27:19SPEAKER_04: Look in the background.
- 1:27:20SPEAKER_04: There's no rip in the background.
- 1:27:22SPEAKER_04: That's the same fucking hose.
- 1:27:24SPEAKER_04: I had him send me the fucking pictures this morning.
- 1:27:26SPEAKER_04: I said, hey dude, we're making our final decision.
- 1:27:29SPEAKER_04: Can you send me over those pictures that you took?
- 1:27:31SPEAKER_04: So I have all the pictures with no rips, and the pictures of him like going inside and doing what he did to show like the mold and the duck and all that.
- 1:27:38SPEAKER_04: So he opened it up that there, stuck his hand and took the pictures, and left that shit open because he knew fucking we're gonna have an issue, and he wanted us to come back, maybe call him to have him come back.
- 1:27:48SPEAKER_04: Like we weren't gonna check ourselves to fix that shit, bro.
- 1:27:51SPEAKER_04: That guy should not be working on ACs.
- 1:27:53SPEAKER_04: I'm like, what?
- 1:27:54SPEAKER_04: So can't find their license and bond number.
- 1:27:57SPEAKER_04: My fault, should have checked before, right?
- 1:27:59SPEAKER_04: Now When the I was go literally going to the tax right now, and Corey was there.
- 1:28:04SPEAKER_04: That's what I was messaging right now, our AC guy, and he ended up finishing uh fixing the motor, and then he needed a new like uh solenoid or whatever it was, or like a conductor, because it was gonna work too hard.
- 1:28:15SPEAKER_04: And so he just text me right now in the middle of our show so you could turn on the AC.
- 1:28:18SPEAKER_04: So I just turn it on upstairs.
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_04: I gotta see if it's blowing cold and whatever.
- 1:28:22SPEAKER_04: And thank God he's like, Yeah, I got you.
- 1:28:24SPEAKER_04: And not to mention, not just my seven-year-old daughter, myself, my wife, my two kids.
- 1:28:28SPEAKER_04: I got a guest in the Zen Den, bro.
- 1:28:30SPEAKER_04: He's an engineer from fucking Nigeria working at that guy who's doing it on Saturday, right?
- 1:28:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you met.
- 1:28:36SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, I feel bad for him because I'm like, dude, now I gotta tell him, hey, dude, like if you've been doing fiberglass, you've been drinking fucking booty and fiberglass.
- 1:28:44SPEAKER_04: If you've been coughing or your your fucking throat's been fucking hurting.
- 1:28:47SPEAKER_04: Oh shit.
- 1:28:47SPEAKER_04: So I call the cops to try to do a report.
- 1:28:49SPEAKER_04: I fucking talked to I called Ralphie Ralphie.
- 1:28:52SPEAKER_04: You see his fucking ads everywhere, but he does more accidents type shit.
- 1:28:55SPEAKER_04: That guy, yeah.
- 1:28:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and then I talked to this other attorney, then I called the AC person, and it's just like, dude, I was just trying to help myself with allergies.
- 1:29:03SPEAKER_04: God was like, slow down, Norm.
- 1:29:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you're going too fast.
- 1:29:06SPEAKER_04: You're going too fast.
- 1:29:08SPEAKER_04: Cross-reference.
- 1:29:09SPEAKER_04: Make sure they license, make sure they're bonded, you know.
- 1:29:12SPEAKER_04: But on the other end, it was a blessing because if I can stop it from happening again, then to me, it's like, all right, that's a blessing.
- 1:29:20SPEAKER_04: So I found him on Instagram.
- 1:29:22SPEAKER_04: I'm about to, I've already posted on social.
- 1:29:24SPEAKER_04: I got a lot of people reaching out to me.
- 1:29:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:29:26SPEAKER_04: I'm about to post, I have videos of the work and documentation.
- 1:29:30SPEAKER_04: I almost feel like I'm going to fucking literally message the dude and send an email to the company because I already called them asking for their license and bond number and say, I would, you have 24 hours to give back to me, or I will be posting this on social media with 350,000 people on reaching, and I'm going to put out the entire story with your Instagram, with your address, with all your business information.
- 1:29:55SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:29:55SPEAKER_04: If you don't pay me for the money I just had to spend at bare minimum to fix the AC.
- 1:30:02SPEAKER_04: And honestly, I kind of want to go through litigation and get at least 20 grand.
- 1:30:05SPEAKER_04: I want a new AC unit.
- 1:30:07unknown: Fucking me, bro.
- 1:30:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that guy just fucked it up for you guys, man.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_00: Big time, bro.
- 1:30:12SPEAKER_00: Some people should just not be and you said he's not even licensed.
- 1:30:16SPEAKER_04: I don't think so.
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_04: Because in every in so just FYI, if this ever happens to you, God, I hope it doesn't.
- 1:30:22SPEAKER_04: Make sure that on the invoice, I was talking to Corey, and he has uh also a service business in in the field.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_04: He does AC.
- 1:30:30SPEAKER_04: Um, you're supposed to do.
- 1:30:32SPEAKER_04: Oh, look at this.
- 1:30:33SPEAKER_04: This is freaking, this is full too.
- 1:30:36SPEAKER_04: So uh Dang man, this card see, I need I need some help with file management.
- 1:30:41SPEAKER_04: We still had a hobby over there.
- 1:30:43SPEAKER_04: Um, but long story short, um he said if you get an invoice on the invoice, you need to make sure that on the invoice it has license and bond number in the invoice.
- 1:30:54SPEAKER_04: And if you don't, then that's an issue.
- 1:30:57SPEAKER_04: Okay, and then that's where you'll be screwed.
- 1:30:58SPEAKER_04: So I was like, man, that is absolutely ridiculous.
- 1:31:02SPEAKER_04: And I couldn't believe that that happened.
- 1:31:04SPEAKER_04: And I feel like everything happens for a reason, so it does.
- 1:31:06SPEAKER_04: It's fine.
- 1:31:07SPEAKER_04: It's just a matter of like, I've never seen that before.
- 1:31:09SPEAKER_04: I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to harm someone.
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_04: I don't think that was his intention.
- 1:31:13SPEAKER_04: He was acting like like he was acting like this is like an emergency.
- 1:31:16SPEAKER_04: He's really trying to get him to has to pay him to fix some fix it rep then and there.
- 1:31:21SPEAKER_04: But like, don't have anyone work on your house as that license and bonding because the bond helps you be able to pay for I mean you never know what people that is, but that could be just Yep.
- 1:31:32SPEAKER_02: So he raised in a he should have not been doing that.
- 1:31:35SPEAKER_02: No, like we live in this thing that's hot as fuck.
- 1:31:39SPEAKER_02: You need AC.
- 1:31:42SPEAKER_02: That's not smart to do that.
- 1:31:43SPEAKER_01: No, not smart to do that at all.
- 1:31:45SPEAKER_02: It's not gonna make the AC work any better.
- 1:31:47SPEAKER_02: Why would I do that?
- 1:31:48SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:31:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and you're not helping anyone because you're not really doing what they do as service.
- 1:31:53SPEAKER_02: Much better for you if he told me, hey, dude, you know what?
- 1:31:55SPEAKER_02: I don't know, shit.
- 1:31:56SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna call the other guy.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_04: Well, he's saying that they're like a broker and they have connections with all these other service providers.
- 1:32:02SPEAKER_04: So I was like, okay, cool, like they're a broker, they have connections with other service providers.
- 1:32:06SPEAKER_04: Like, okay, great, fantastic.
- 1:32:08SPEAKER_04: But I was just like, really?
- 1:32:10SPEAKER_04: Like, so when that shit went down, I was just like, wow, it really put a lot of things in perspective for me because the seven triggers to yes states if you do something for someone else, not expecting something in return, then you're you're gonna be better off than trying to like like screw someone over.
- 1:32:24SPEAKER_04: So if he would have like came in, introduced himself, was super chill, and then like literally like was like, hey, all right, I'm gonna clean the ducks, get us 200.
- 1:32:33SPEAKER_04: As soon as you could build someone the first time, it's easier to get them to pay more.
- 1:32:37SPEAKER_04: So at least get us to pay a little bit and do the work and then make recommendations after you build no like and trust and that we feel that we understand and you're good.
- 1:32:47SPEAKER_04: But the fact that he didn't do that makes you feel like, what the fuck?
- 1:32:50SPEAKER_04: That went down like that.
- 1:32:51SPEAKER_04: But at the end of the day, you live and learn, and that's where I feel like, you know, that's God just saying, All right, you know, here's another another uh learning lesson.
- 1:32:59SPEAKER_04: But when like for you, I want to go a little bit into the topic of like, did you grow up religious or go to church, or is it something that your family talked about growing up?
- 1:33:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so um I grew up in a Muslim household.
- 1:33:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:33:14SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, like doing Ramadan and all that, going that's how I grew up, and then um over the years I kind of like lean more towards being a Christian.
- 1:33:27SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 1:33:28SPEAKER_00: And I don't tell people that too much because I feel like they'll they're gonna, you know, try to put something bad on my name.
- 1:33:34SPEAKER_04: Everyone has opinions, it's all good.
- 1:33:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but hey, that's what I transitioned to.
- 1:33:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you know, like I st I still believe in God.
- 1:33:43SPEAKER_00: I still, you know, pray whether good things or bad things happen, I still pray and I'm still grateful for whatever happened.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 1:33:49SPEAKER_00: And I include God in a lot of things that there was a period where I was like, and it's a hundred percent my fault.
- 1:33:55SPEAKER_00: I was like, I need to thank God more.
- 1:33:57SPEAKER_00: Uh and I'm just not doing it enough.
- 1:34:00SPEAKER_00: And I feel like a lot of these things happened because because I I don't put him in a lot of things.
- 1:34:04SPEAKER_00: I I didn't used to put him in a lot in my life.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_00: It's not that I didn't believe in him, yeah.
- 1:34:08SPEAKER_00: You know, I I believe in him, but it's just miracles happened.
- 1:34:11SPEAKER_00: Well, like I had I had a scary um not a scary, a chilly moment once, right?
- 1:34:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:34:18SPEAKER_00: Where I was out delivering and reading.
- 1:34:20SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:34:22SPEAKER_00: Dark as shit.
- 1:34:23SPEAKER_00: You know, farm homes, nine o'clock at night.
- 1:34:25SPEAKER_00: It was actually like 10, maybe 9:30.
- 1:34:28SPEAKER_00: And um it's pitch black.
- 1:34:30SPEAKER_00: I'm just delivering.
- 1:34:32SPEAKER_00: And um, I saw an owl.
- 1:34:35SPEAKER_00: And some people say that it could be a bad luck thing.
- 1:34:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:34:38SPEAKER_00: I never confirmed.
- 1:34:38SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 1:34:39SPEAKER_00: Anyways, the owls on the tree.
- 1:34:41SPEAKER_00: I was driving my truck, and then he was like, Where you're at?
- 1:34:43SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Oh shit, I just closed my door, whatever.
- 1:34:46SPEAKER_00: And then I was like, I prayed, I was like, I hope it's nothing like, you know, a bad spirit on me.
- 1:34:52SPEAKER_00: I just hope that it just like you know, God just lifted it from my shoulders, you know, and they're looking out for me.
- 1:34:57SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 1:34:58SPEAKER_00: I turned right, right, because my truck, right?
- 1:35:01SPEAKER_00: I think the the the doors behind me, yeah, open it.
- 1:35:04SPEAKER_00: I turned right.
- 1:35:06SPEAKER_00: I I'm at the house, yeah.
- 1:35:07SPEAKER_00: There's a post, like the window, there's a poster or the picture, like probably that big, right?
- 1:35:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:35:13SPEAKER_00: Picture of Jesus just looking at me.
- 1:35:15SPEAKER_00: What?
- 1:35:17SPEAKER_00: If that doesn't tell that's one of many situations I had.
- 1:35:20SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 1:35:21SPEAKER_00: That doesn't tell you that miracles happen, gotta exist, then I don't know what to tell people.
- 1:35:25SPEAKER_04: It's a it's a direct sign automatically just to confirm what you just said.
- 1:35:29SPEAKER_04: And I'm right there with you.
- 1:35:30SPEAKER_04: Like, I don't specifically grew up Christian, um, and some of the family is Christian and Catholic.
- 1:35:36SPEAKER_04: I don't really specifically give myself any type of like I'm Christian, I'm Catholic, I'm this, I'm that.
- 1:35:42SPEAKER_04: Like, I can resonate with Christian for sure.
- 1:35:44SPEAKER_04: I just like to like be open to all.
- 1:35:46SPEAKER_04: I'm just kind of the same.
- 1:35:47SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:35:47SPEAKER_04: Just to kind of understand, like, because the thing is, is I think that as soon as you go in and you say, like, and I can't not say I'm not white, but yeah, you're white, then you're in this category.
- 1:35:58SPEAKER_04: You're black, you're in that category, or you're Christian, you're in this category.
- 1:36:01SPEAKER_04: And like we categorize people and put people in these boxes.
- 1:36:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:36:05SPEAKER_04: And there's something to be said about that because it's like then you kind of pigeonhole them and you can't really you don't see them for who maybe they really are.
- 1:36:14SPEAKER_04: It's all like stereotypes and shit.
- 1:36:15SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:36:16SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:36:17SPEAKER_00: Like I grew up with people, you know, saying, Oh, you know, you blew up shit and all that, and like just telling me waste this shit, but I never let it get to me.
- 1:36:25SPEAKER_00: I didn't care for it.
- 1:36:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:36:26SPEAKER_00: I just thought it was funny.
- 1:36:28SPEAKER_04: Whatever.
- 1:36:28SPEAKER_04: It is what it is.
- 1:36:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_04: I just keep it simple.
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_04: Because that's the thing.
- 1:36:31SPEAKER_04: I think that there's there's there's there's truth, there's merit, there's different religions that have different things that you can learn from and and and about.
- 1:36:39SPEAKER_04: Um, and the cool thing for me is is like I try to read the whole entire Bible.
- 1:36:43SPEAKER_04: That shit was hard because you it's it's more parables than you have to go through, and there's different things that you can apply.
- 1:36:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:36:48SPEAKER_04: I had a guy today, he wrote a pe uh he read a parable to me.
- 1:36:52SPEAKER_04: His name is Jay because he heard what happened and he basically read this to me or sent a message to me, and that I can read it here, but it's just like interesting.
- 1:37:02SPEAKER_04: So I I allow God to speak through people through certain situations.
- 1:37:09SPEAKER_04: So, like Jay said, This is a guy I was on his podcast.
- 1:37:12SPEAKER_04: Um, he does like sales and ninja training, he's up in Canada.
- 1:37:16SPEAKER_04: He hasn't been on the show or anything like that, but we've been going back and forth and after being on his show.
- 1:37:20SPEAKER_04: He said, Dang, bro, um, he's mad because he's jealous that he's not where he is in life.
- 1:37:25SPEAKER_04: Because the guy also went in the garage to go in the attic and saw the cars and stuff too.
- 1:37:29SPEAKER_04: Um, he said, sounds like he's trying to hurt slash harm you and your family.
- 1:37:34SPEAKER_04: John 1010A, em enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
- 1:37:40SPEAKER_04: But John 1010B says that Jesus comes to give life, abundance, and uh what have you.
- 1:37:46SPEAKER_04: So spiritual warfare, bro.
- 1:37:48SPEAKER_04: So it was just interesting to hear that quote from him and like put it together and be like, oh my god, wow, interesting.
- 1:37:54SPEAKER_04: So I just take it for the greatest salt as far as like if there's people in the world that are willing to harm someone because of the monetary value, and this is hella close to home.
- 1:38:03SPEAKER_04: We see this in the entire ecosystem of the world that we live.
- 1:38:07SPEAKER_04: Then for me, I'm like, okay, this is my job to then make it right.
- 1:38:10SPEAKER_04: Because how many people and older people does that he go into their house and then make them pay$1,200,$2,000,$7,000 from trying to scare them into doing something.
- 1:38:23SPEAKER_04: And I felt like he was trying to scare us into doing something and not letting us logically understand are you licensed, are you bonded?
- 1:38:31SPEAKER_04: What are you specifically doing?
- 1:38:32SPEAKER_04: How's that really gonna help?
- 1:38:33SPEAKER_04: And all the things.
- 1:38:34SPEAKER_04: And so I had to justify myself, which I don't need to do.
- 1:38:37SPEAKER_04: If I say no, no, it's no.
- 1:38:39SPEAKER_04: Bye.
- 1:38:39SPEAKER_04: See you later, have a good day.
- 1:38:40SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 1:38:41SPEAKER_04: So, so for me, I was like, whoa, so now that this is all going down like it's going down, it's making me be like, all right, how do I approach this?
- 1:38:48SPEAKER_04: What do I do to make sure that I can prevent this to happen again and educate people in the world, and then hopefully get shit fixed and on the road to success, and it's all good.
- 1:39:01SPEAKER_00: And people like that, they'll they'll get something that's come to him like, they like, you know what?
- 1:39:07SPEAKER_00: You should have not done that in the beginning.
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, like why scam or like I hope that's not what he's doing.
- 1:39:13SPEAKER_00: Like, well, why lie about things like that?
- 1:39:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, the company was just established, I think, this year.
- 1:39:17SPEAKER_04: They don't have much on their Instagram, their address is an apartment in Phoenix, and you call it AI who answers.
- 1:39:25SPEAKER_04: The website's AI, they have no Google reviews, so they just run a bunch of freaking AI ads on on Meta and tell people that hey, for$99, we'll clean your chimney and your ventilation and all that type of stuff, and then it's just like they're fucking lying.
- 1:39:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that sounds like fucking sketchy shit.
- 1:39:44SPEAKER_04: So I don't know, man.
- 1:39:46SPEAKER_04: I think it's just absolutely ridiculous.
- 1:39:48SPEAKER_04: But no, it's cool to be able to like kick back and just like have a conversation with you and go deeper into your story and just take a second and uh be a part of like your journey from the perspective of like training in the future, give this guy a follow, the merch, check out the website, social YouTube channel, the vlogs.
- 1:40:05SPEAKER_04: It's just it's cool, man, to watch watch your growth and I'm excited to uh see you have more control of your life and just be able to do you full time.
- 1:40:12SPEAKER_00: That's my goal, man.
- 1:40:13SPEAKER_00: Because I don't want to not that I'm bashing.
- 1:40:16SPEAKER_00: Like, look, people out there who still work their nine to five, you know what I mean?
- 1:40:20SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not bashing on people, but I don't want to be doing that for a while.
- 1:40:23SPEAKER_00: Just because I see how much potential there is outside of it.
- 1:40:26SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:40:26SPEAKER_02: And I'll never forget this.
- 1:40:27SPEAKER_02: Somebody told me once, like, dude, you work so hard at your job, why don't you like work hard on yourself?
- 1:40:33SPEAKER_04: That's what you should.
- 1:40:34SPEAKER_04: Everyone should be working harder on yourself than trying to work harder on thinking about other people, what they're saying, or not not actually taking responsibility for your own life.
- 1:40:46SPEAKER_02: What was this guy's name?
- 1:40:48SPEAKER_02: I s I still watch him.
- 1:40:49SPEAKER_02: He's some older guy.
- 1:40:50SPEAKER_02: He's a speaker.
- 1:40:52SPEAKER_02: Dude, I can't remember like Jim Ron, maybe?
- 1:40:56SPEAKER_02: Jim Ron, yeah.
- 1:40:56SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:40:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:40:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was like you read his book, bro.
- 1:41:00SPEAKER_02: I I gotta so I picked up 48 Laws of Power, but I haven't finished it yet.
- 1:41:04SPEAKER_02: I wasn't really a fan of it.
- 1:41:05SPEAKER_02: I think it was too fancy with the grammar, that's all the way.
- 1:41:08SPEAKER_02: But I finished uh you're the ones that I picked up.
- 1:41:10SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:41:10SPEAKER_02: Um so in in one of his favorite things that I like, it's like, why not you?
- 1:41:16SPEAKER_02: You know, like you you have the power to do so much things.
- 1:41:18SPEAKER_02: And one of the other favorite things that he said was um, I kind of forgot that one, but yeah, that's how I started.
- 1:41:23SPEAKER_02: Like to me, that was a highlight, why not you?
- 1:41:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know what I mean?
- 1:41:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like you have power to do so much shit, and then the other one that was like, you can work hard at your job, you can make a living, which is fine.
- 1:41:33SPEAKER_02: But if you work hard on yourself, you make a fortune.
- 1:41:36SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
- 1:41:37SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:41:38SPEAKER_02: I love that.
- 1:41:39SPEAKER_02: I love that.
- 1:41:39SPEAKER_02: Like I look at the shit you achieved because you have for yourself, you know what I mean?
- 1:41:42SPEAKER_02: You used to work at Costco, you told me to, right?
- 1:41:44SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:41:44SPEAKER_04: Costco, Monitor Park art, smoke monitored car parts, safe way.
- 1:41:48SPEAKER_04: Fucking uh, I used to slang shoes at like a shoe store called Champ Sports back in California.
- 1:41:53SPEAKER_04: And like, yeah, from that uh, I mean, I'll be honest with you.
- 1:41:56SPEAKER_04: I used to freaking nightclub promotions, selling weed.
- 1:41:59SPEAKER_04: I was fucking selling shit all doing all I was doing it all, bro.
- 1:42:02SPEAKER_04: I got a boy, I did that post of like this office after putting in this door and then my office in 2013.
- 1:42:09SPEAKER_04: And my fucking my supplier still follows me to this day all over those days, bro.
- 1:42:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:42:15SPEAKER_04: Like he has a full-time job.
- 1:42:17SPEAKER_04: I was growing my company.
- 1:42:19SPEAKER_04: It'd be his lunch break.
- 1:42:20SPEAKER_04: I'd meet up with him, get a couple fucking, you know, get a quarter or whatever, a couple ounces, and go back to the house.
- 1:42:25SPEAKER_04: And yeah, I like to smoke and I would sling and I would do my thing, and I would work on fucking my cars on the weekend and all whatever else, and just keeping it real.
- 1:42:32SPEAKER_02: Like that's you know, you do what you gotta do to make it fucking work because I want to control my life.
- 1:42:37SPEAKER_02: You said you were a lot attendant before?
- 1:42:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I d I was too right here in Nissan, really?
- 1:42:42SPEAKER_02: And then that's what you see GTRs too a lot.
- 1:42:44SPEAKER_02: Uh oh, okay.
- 1:42:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:42:46SPEAKER_02: And that's why you probably had a love for the the Nissan product.
- 1:42:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:42:49SPEAKER_02: I even got to drive one, but I literally moved it from like here to your garage.
- 1:42:52SPEAKER_02: Me too.
- 1:42:53SPEAKER_02: And then I moved to uh Lexus next door.
- 1:42:55SPEAKER_02: I was working there for a lot of ten too.
- 1:42:57SPEAKER_02: But you know, as those years went by, and I think this is why like I kept raising the bar myself, and now people say you shouldn't do that because you you're never a scientific salt, right?
- 1:43:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:43:09SPEAKER_02: But I kept raising with the bar myself because I was like, dude, I used to make at that time like 40 or 50 pounds now with the kids a lot of longer.
- 1:43:16SPEAKER_02: Now I'm like making like at UPS I was making six years, right?
- 1:43:21SPEAKER_02: When I'm like full-time driving shit.
- 1:43:22SPEAKER_02: And if I'm not, I hit with a close to see through, right?
- 1:43:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:43:25SPEAKER_02: Well my dude, like, that's just from these jobs.
- 1:43:28SPEAKER_02: And there's opportunities outside of them for me that right in front of me, yeah, it's gonna pursue it.
- 1:43:33SPEAKER_02: I can make way more.
- 1:43:35SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:43:36SPEAKER_04: Dude, I was uh listening to this lady, and uh I want to say speaking of trials and tribulations and overcoming shit, right?
- 1:43:43SPEAKER_04: We've already had two cameras die, and we filled one SD card up after an hour and a half, and then the next uh our SD card got followed up, and now we're we're rolling off one more one camera and the audio of that camera, and so the team's gonna make the magic happen.
- 1:43:59SPEAKER_04: But uh, if the audio has changed a little bit, I just want to give you behind the scenes what happened because this is this is just it.
- 1:44:06SPEAKER_04: But um but yeah, so going back into you were saying a lot of attendance and uh was the last thing you said?
- 1:44:14SPEAKER_02: Oh I was a lot of attendant.
- 1:44:16SPEAKER_02: So my the way that how I started my whole employment life, right?
- 1:44:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my first job, I was 13 or 14 years old, worked at a gas station stereotypical, right?
- 1:44:27SPEAKER_02: Because I worked at a gas station, everybody says talking shit about that.
- 1:44:32SPEAKER_02: So I was in the back, you know, working as a like a stalker, like stalking shelves and shit, you know, yeah, making ice for people like to put ice bags, all that shit.
- 1:44:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I missed, you know.
- 1:44:43SPEAKER_02: Um and then I would work Saturday and Sunday because I was doing school at Saturday.
- 1:44:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Saturday and Sunday, I would work all fucking day.
- 1:44:51SPEAKER_02: Because I came from a a family of immigrant family.
- 1:44:55SPEAKER_02: They're all about hey, working nine to five, you know, get your house, yeah, go to school.
- 1:44:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:45:00SPEAKER_02: Um and then after that, I quit, uh started working at Alberts.
- 1:45:05SPEAKER_02: I was banking groceries.
- 1:45:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:45:07SPEAKER_02: And I was there for about maybe two to two to three years.
- 1:45:11SPEAKER_02: Um I wanted to move up, but I never they never moved out.
- 1:45:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:45:15SPEAKER_02: I wanted to be a cashier or manager, you know, whatever.
- 1:45:18SPEAKER_02: So then I went to um a call center.
- 1:45:24SPEAKER_02: And then I went back to the gas station until I find another job, which was uh I was doing um Earnhardt, like uh sales, yeah, you were told you yeah.
- 1:45:33SPEAKER_02: Um I was doing internet sales for some time.
- 1:45:35SPEAKER_02: It was good money, but then we got bought up by Earnhardt.
- 1:45:38SPEAKER_02: Okay, because it was Thoroughbred before, but when Thoroughbred left Earnhardt got bought out we bought us out, yeah.
- 1:45:44SPEAKER_02: And then I went back to Chevron and the other order to get by, and then um after that I started working at US uh cricket, the T likew store.
- 1:45:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then I went to after that, I went to USPS and I was there for some time.
- 1:45:59SPEAKER_02: But I was also there like before USPS, I was at UPS.
- 1:46:03SPEAKER_02: But I walked out out of that job.
- 1:46:05SPEAKER_02: I was doing actually I was doing uh Chevrolet and that job was the two jobs, yeah.
- 1:46:09SPEAKER_02: And I was like, like I said, at that time I didn't have intentions to be the driver, yeah, UPS driver.
- 1:46:14SPEAKER_02: I didn't know how much they made, but then if I would have known, I would have been like, you know what, just random out here.
- 1:46:19SPEAKER_02: But then a lot of things would have been different.
- 1:46:21SPEAKER_02: I would have been here and every yeah, yeah, we would have never met.
- 1:46:23SPEAKER_02: So many things would have not happened.
- 1:46:25SPEAKER_02: I would have never met Izzy, I would have never like met more friends, I would have never had like more opportunities come together.
- 1:46:30SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:46:31SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah, after that, I was at the post office and then now this crying job.
- 1:46:36SPEAKER_04: That's what's up.
- 1:46:37SPEAKER_04: And that's the thing.
- 1:46:38SPEAKER_04: I think that people have to realize that like you watching this, and now two almost two hours in, and you sitting there be sitting here, like every single thing had to happen exactly the way it did for this exact moment to happen.
- 1:46:48SPEAKER_04: And you know, it's like you need to go through what you go through to learn the lessons to be able to evolve.
- 1:46:55SPEAKER_04: And uh now I remember what I was gonna say because we were talking about kind of like your future life, where you want to go, what you've done so far, and like how like manifestation, it's like I was listening to this lady and she was talking about how an actor and actress goes to the process.
- 1:47:09SPEAKER_04: You just you do this exercise out there, go through the process of saying, okay, uh, if an actor or actress has to read a script and embody a character to play the character, the person who's gonna watch the movie has to believe in that character.
- 1:47:23SPEAKER_04: So you have to become that person.
- 1:47:25SPEAKER_04: You gotta you gotta wear, talk, look, make up, everything has to be on plug.
- 1:47:29SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:47:30SPEAKER_04: And that's where I think people forget.
- 1:47:32SPEAKER_04: They don't think that they're worthy enough or they don't deserve something.
- 1:47:35SPEAKER_04: And so there's the self-filium beliefs, but all you have to do is become the character that you wish to be and believe that you deserve that character, and then you'll automatically be that character.
- 1:47:47SPEAKER_04: And the faster you want it, the more you have to be obsessed about it.
- 1:47:50SPEAKER_04: And what I've done is I wrote down uh a script and I fucking I I it was like 10 principles, and each principle is around like family, finances, lift off, the podcast, my life, and how it looks and how what what's what it looks like.
- 1:48:04SPEAKER_04: So I'll just watch that shit to myself.
- 1:48:06SPEAKER_04: I'll just watch myself reading this fucking list multiple times a day just to feel like I'm there and to feel like I am already that character.
- 1:48:16SPEAKER_02: I am kind of the same, but I just tell myself, like these things.
- 1:48:21SPEAKER_02: I got mad if I was like you know, you're gonna be uh successful, you're gonna be familiar, you're not gonna have to work anymore.
- 1:48:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh you're gonna achieve this, you're gonna you know, reach different heights in your life.
- 1:48:33SPEAKER_04: I uh manifestation is really people don't think about it, but I used to have manifestation days about like, you know, the DT or like trapping the DT or how old and then he got closer to it, he went to the events, like you gotta sit in it, you gotta feel it, you gotta touch it, and God will show you signs, and whether it's a house or a car or a girl or whatever it is, and you'll get closer to those signs, and then it's just like holy shit, now I've achieved it.
- 1:48:59SPEAKER_04: Like, say, for instance, I didn't say this in the video, but I'll say here like this is a replica of one of 500 Richard Mills.
- 1:49:06SPEAKER_04: So the fact that he wanted to trade his car, this is a$500,000 watch, but it's not real because I got it from the Philippines, and when I was out in Japan, I had one of my guys pick it up for me and I have it, so it looks straight up legit.
- 1:49:20SPEAKER_04: This looks like a straight diamond chain.
- 1:49:22SPEAKER_04: This is moisenite.
- 1:49:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so it's not real diamonds, it's moisenite.
- 1:49:27SPEAKER_04: It looks like it's diamonds, like$10,000,$15,000,$20,000 chain, but I got it for like a hundred bucks or some shit.
- 1:49:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:49:33SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:49:34SPEAKER_04: And so I want to get closer to the diamond chain.
- 1:49:36SPEAKER_04: I want to get closer to the$500,000 Mitch Mitchell Mill, but I know I'm not it's not like I, you know, it's kind of like fake it till you make it, right?
- 1:49:44SPEAKER_04: But in a good one.
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_04: But in a good way, because I still get to experience how it would feel to have it, and then experience how people would treat me because I have it, yeah, but not technically have it.
