  14. 0:43uh you know at age probably 1415 started
  15. 0:46stealing [ __ ] you know going to the
  16. 0:48store going to 7eleven you know and you
  17. 0:50know kind of learned that was the way
  18. 0:52for me to get the [ __ ] I needed you know
  19. 0:53the [ __ ] I wanted you know was to just
  20. 0:56take that [ __ ] you know never got caught
  21. 0:58[ __ ] it this shit's working good and uh
  22. 1:02that was my uh basic mentality growing
  23. 1:05up you know where um that's how I got
  24. 1:08[ __ ] you know and I'd say this lasted
  25. 1:10all the
  26. 1:12way you know probably tell I was about
  27. 1:1420 you know and uh it just escalated
  28. 1:17escalated escalated you know and you
  29. 1:20know stealing from the grocery store as
  30. 1:21a little kid you know kind of escalated
  31. 1:23a you know more serious [ __ ] and uh you
  32. 1:27know one day I finally realized that
  33. 1:30that Karma started to take effect and no
  34. 1:33matter how much I stole what I stole I
  35. 1:36was never going to [ __ ] get ahead
  36. 1:38this [ __ ] was just a it was just you
  37. 1:40know no matter how much I how much
  38. 1:42however much I took I was lost you know
  39. 1:45it was just a never ending and if you
  40. 1:47think about it all those people out
  41. 1:48there that have that mentality they
  42. 1:49never [ __ ] get ahead ever no matter
  43. 1:52how much money they come across they're
  44. 1:54broke and uh it's the way it is you know
  45. 1:56so when I was about 20 that's when it
  46. 1:58hit me and what was crazy is uh I ran
  47. 2:02into an older lady who was a friend of
  48. 2:04the family and she sat down and started
  49. 2:07talk to me about mutual funds and I was
  50. 2:10just sitting there thinking what the
  51. 2:11[ __ ] is she talking about I don't want
  52. 2:13to hear this [ __ ] [ __ ] but you
  53. 2:14know I was polite part of the family so
  54. 2:17I
  55. 2:18listened and I actually became very
  56. 2:20intrigued about mutual funds and you
  57. 2:23know she was telling me that you know
  58. 2:25you could retire in 10 years you know if
  59. 2:27you invest right and you know you're
  60. 2:29very con assistent and you know I was
  61. 2:31thinking about it and you know at the
  62. 2:33time I was working I had a shitty job
  63. 2:34bouncing you know making whatever you
  64. 2:36know probably 10 bucks an hour uh and
  65. 2:40you know everything she said just
  66. 2:42started to make more and more sense to
  67. 2:44me so she said you know go see my
  68. 2:45financial adviser and I'm 20 years old I
  69. 2:47don't know [ __ ] about nothing and
  70. 2:50believe it or not I [ __ ] went and it
  71. 2:52was a trip cuz that's just what you know
  72. 2:53that's nothing I ever popped in my head
  73. 2:55you know and um I went and I sat down I
  74. 2:58talked to him and you know he told me
  75. 3:01what he thinks I should do and what my
  76. 3:03plan should be and you know figure out
  77. 3:05how much we have to invest each month
  78. 3:07you know which was nothing you know
  79. 3:08we're talking like you know investing
  80. 3:10100 150 bucks a month you know that's
  81. 3:13all I could afford but he was explaining
  82. 3:15to me you know how it works and this is
  83. 3:17back in the internet days when [ __ ] was
  84. 3:19[ __ ] flying technology was out of
  85. 3:22control the mutual funds that I got into
  86. 3:25you were making over 100% return back
  87. 3:27then you know it ain't like that [ __ ]
  88. 3:29now now you're making like you know
  89. 3:31maybe 6 to 12% or some [ __ ] you know
  90. 3:34you ain't making [ __ ] and that's if
  91. 3:36you're making anything you know you
  92. 3:37could be losing so it was crazy back
  93. 3:41then when it came to the stock market
  94. 3:42and investing it was it was just out of
  95. 3:44control that was the time to do it you
  96. 3:45know people were investing in these new
  97. 3:47companies and becoming millionaires
  98. 3:48overnight and uh so you know I invested
  99. 3:52in three companies I think it was opener
  100. 3:54and uh uh what was it uh T price and
  101. 4:00there was one more but basically it was
  102. 4:02it was two technology and then opener
  103. 4:05but my money started growing so I
  104. 4:08started to become like kind of obsessed
  105. 4:10with putting more money in and then I
  106. 4:12started doing a little research on my
  107. 4:13own and I found out what makes up a
  108. 4:15mutual fund you know what is a mut I
  109. 4:17didn't know what the [ __ ] it was I was
  110. 4:18just [ __ ] I can make money so you know I
  111. 4:20figured out that it's you know certain
  112. 4:21stocks they put together in a portfolio
  113. 4:25is a mutual fund so some of the stocks
  114. 4:28you know were doing better than the
  115. 4:29other other stocks so you know logical
  116. 4:31thinking is why don't I just [ __ ]
  117. 4:33invest in those companies that you know
  118. 4:36are really [ __ ] moving higher risk
  119. 4:38but more money at that time there was no
  120. 4:40[ __ ] risk in technology when the
  121. 4:42internet started there was no risk it
  122. 4:43was just [ __ ] money and uh so you
  123. 4:47know I pulled the money out of the
  124. 4:48mutual funds and I started investing
  125. 4:51straight into the stocks you know and um
  126. 4:54started making more money I was like
  127. 4:56holy [ __ ] and you know I just became
  128. 4:58more and more obsessed every day and i'
  129. 5:01say probably within maybe six months I
  130. 5:05started day trading you know and what's
  131. 5:08funny is I knew nothing about day
  132. 5:09trading I didn't go to school no one
  133. 5:11told me about it no one talked to me
  134. 5:13about it no one educated me but my
  135. 5:15logical thinking was
  136. 5:17this okay just listen to what I have to
  137. 5:20say and this is what popped in my head I
  138. 5:22would watch say I would uh you know I'd
  139. 5:25invest in Intel right that was one of my
  140. 5:28big money makers was Intel Intel so
  141. 5:31let's say I invested in
  142. 5:33Intel and I would watch and every day
  143. 5:37let's say intel was at you know 50 the
  144. 5:39price was
  145. 5:40$50 that stock would fluctuate from 50
  146. 5:43to 55 all day long 50 53 51 54 52 55 50
  147. 5:5253 54 50 56 constantly all day this is
  148. 5:56what it does up and down up and down up
  149. 5:58and down well when you when you day
  150. 6:00trade you can lock in your buy and you
  151. 6:02can lock in your sell so you know I
  152. 6:04could basically buy the
  153. 6:07stock at 50 and then sell it at 54 you
  154. 6:12know not be greedy and go for 55 or 56
  155. 6:15just go 54 so I know I'm going to sell
  156. 6:17that [ __ ] right so what put in my buy at
  157. 6:2050 when it goes down to 50 boom it buys
  158. 6:22it right when it goes up to 5 what was
  159. 6:26it 54 when it goes up to 54 boom it
  160. 6:29sells it bam so I just made money right
  161. 6:33so then what I do I do the same thing
  162. 6:36right after I do the same thing I buy a
  163. 6:3850 again sell it a 54 within I'm not
  164. 6:42even [ __ ] bullshitting within 5
  165. 6:43minutes boom sell it so I would sit at
  166. 6:47the computer and do this [ __ ] it's like
  167. 6:50gambling but I was making a shitload of
  168. 6:53money it wasn't losing I was only
  169. 6:54dealing with blue chip company I was
  170. 6:56dealing with companies that are not
  171. 6:58going to Apple you know let's I was
  172. 7:00dealing with companies that you know are
  173. 7:01just going to keep [ __ ] climbing you
  174. 7:03know so there wasn't any risk involved
  175. 7:06and um it got to the point where I had
  176. 7:0810 different stocks and those were my
  177. 7:11golden stocks that were 100% in my
  178. 7:14opinion would never [ __ ] crash go
  179. 7:17bankrupt you know nothing could happen
  180. 7:18they were just [ __ ] strong as [ __ ]
  181. 7:21and I would sit there and figure out
  182. 7:24what the what the ratio is every day you
  183. 7:26know maybe you know like I said maybe
  184. 7:27this one's 80 to 87 you know so I buy at
  185. 7:3081 sell at 85 maybe you know went up
  186. 7:34four and what happens is as you get more
  187. 7:38money in your account you can buy more
  188. 7:40shares and then when you buy and sell
  189. 7:42you make more money so I kept you know a
  190. 7:46little you know kept track of every
  191. 7:48little transaction I made and how much I
  192. 7:50made on each transaction I was very very
  193. 7:53anal about you know what I was doing and
  194. 7:56I'm not even joking every week I was
  195. 7:58making more money it was just climbing
  196. 8:00climbing climbing I'm like what the f I
  197. 8:03mean I just came with the [ __ ] on my own
  198. 8:04in my head it just made sense to me I'm
  199. 8:06like [ __ ] why don't I try
  200. 8:07this and I'm saying that ain't day
  201. 8:10trading when you go to school to be a
  202. 8:11day trader that's not what day trading
  203. 8:13is what I was doing was gambling but see
  204. 8:16back in that day the [ __ ] like I said
  205. 8:19the stocks just kept going up you know
  206. 8:22it was a gold mine back then it's not
  207. 8:23like that now but I discovered that gold
  208. 8:26mine and you know I sat at home every
  209. 8:29day
  210. 8:296:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. while the market
  211. 8:32was open and just sat there and [ __ ]
  212. 8:34gambled all day on the computer and I
  213. 8:35would be [ __ ] screaming my ass off on
  214. 8:37how much money I was making and uh you
  215. 8:40know that was a start and once I got a
  216. 8:42taste of making a lot of money at such a
  217. 8:44young age I was [ __ ] hooked hooked so
  218. 8:49I continued to to day trade and then you
  219. 8:51know I bought my first
  220. 8:53house real estate market was out of
  221. 8:55[ __ ] control again luck luck of the
  222. 8:58draw I was just lucky Market was
  223. 9:00climbing like a [ __ ] so you know
  224. 9:02within a couple years I sold that house
  225. 9:04you know made a couple hundred thousand
  226. 9:06and went bought a bigger house Markus
  227. 9:09still
  228. 9:10climbing um still still doing some you
  229. 9:13know some trading but not as much I
  230. 9:14started getting involved in other things
  231. 9:15um I started you know doing commercials
  232. 9:17that people don't know that um I did 38
  233. 9:20National commercials and you know back
  234. 9:22then the commercials were different okay
  235. 9:25the way you get paid on a commercial is
  236. 9:26residuals how many times they show that
  237. 9:28[ __ ] Comm commercial is how much
  238. 9:30money you make now 15 years ago they
  239. 9:33would do a commercial and they would
  240. 9:35show that [ __ ] for a year year straight
  241. 9:38that commercial will play all the time
  242. 9:39on TV so you could easily make $100,000
  243. 9:42on one [ __ ] commercial easily it
  244. 9:45ain't like that nowadays nowadays they
  245. 9:47film a commercial they play it for 3
  246. 9:49weeks and the shit's gone so you know
  247. 9:51now you make you know you make I would
  248. 9:54say average somewhere between 3,000 and
  249. 9:57at the very most you ever make is
  250. 9:59probably about 20,000 on a commercial
  251. 10:01and that's if you're a principal you got
  252. 10:02to be a principal you know extra you
  253. 10:04don't get [ __ ] you just get the day pay
  254. 10:06but um you know it it's it's you know
  255. 10:09it's still good money but I'm saying
  256. 10:10back in the day you know [ __ ]
  257. 10:12commercials are out of control so I did
  258. 10:1438 National commercials I made over $2
  259. 10:15million just on those commercials so
  260. 10:17that was something else I got into and I
  261. 10:20started getting tatted and I got tatted
  262. 10:22up and back then I hate to admit it but

  287. 11:14know just wouldn't do it not worth it
  288. 11:17but uh you know back then [ __ ] it uh so
  289. 11:21basically you know still doing the
  290. 11:23commercial stuff did a couple movies
  291. 11:24people know I've been in you know I've
  292. 11:25been in like seven movies my best my
  293. 11:28biggest best part plan of the Apes where
  294. 11:30I uh I was on that movie for 9 months
  295. 11:33straight I worked 6 days a week on that
  296. 11:36movie and um I had three very good roles

  298. 11:44also did the stunts for the black Army
  299. 11:47gorillas a lot of the stunts most of the
  300. 11:49stunts now the thing is is funny thing
  301. 11:51is I wasn't a stunt man but what
  302. 11:53happened is when we went to the makeup
  303. 11:56artist who was in charge of deciding
  304. 11:58what the apes are going to
  305. 12:59people that don't know what golden time
  306. 13:01is is basically I believe it's when you
  307. 13:03work 16 hours straight you start getting
  308. 13:07paid your daily fee per hour so the
  309. 13:10daily fee was I want to say somewhere
  310. 13:13around
  311. 13:14$930 now we were getting
  312. 13:16$930 an hour you know which back then
  313. 13:21that was [ __ ] exciting [ __ ] man I'm
  314. 13:23like [ __ ] I'm making $930 an hour right
  315. 13:25now this is crazy and I'm sitting on my

  321. 13:36an experience um now the real estate

  323. 13:40estate um my second house what I did is
  324. 13:45at the peak of the market which again
  325. 13:46was a [ __ ] lucky just lucky the
  326. 13:50market had gone up it was high and I
  327. 13:54read that book uh you know uh what is it
  328. 13:57Poor Dad Rich Dad you guys remember that
  329. 13:59book came out probably I'd say about

  361. 15:10lot of [ __ ] planned and this person knew
  362. 15:13the inside scoop of what the [ __ ] the
  363. 15:14plan was going on for the next 10 years
  364. 15:17of what they're going to be putting and
  365. 15:18what they're going to be doing what
  366. 15:19they're going to be building he had the
  367. 15:21inside scoop and he said man he goes I'm
  368. 15:22telling you this is the best investment
  369. 15:24you'll ever have as far as real estate
  370. 15:26so I took that [ __ ] tip and I went
  371. 15:29there with you know
  372. 15:31$600,000 and I ended up buying two
  373. 15:33triplexes and three houses believe it or
  374. 15:35not and my houses were you know
  375. 15:38somewhere around 110,000 three
  376. 15:40bedroomroom two bath two car garage you
  377. 15:42know maybe 6,000 ft lot you know pretty
  378. 15:45good and uh the triplexes you know was
  379. 15:48three units in one building and each
  380. 15:50unit was three bedroom three bath and um
  381. 15:54bought them rented them out you know
  382. 15:57hired someone to manage the property for
  383. 15:59me they charged me 8% and just got
  384. 16:01checks every month in the mail now again
  385. 16:04it's not it's not as good as it sounds
  386. 16:07and from reading that book things
  387. 16:10weren't the way they sounded because you
  388. 16:13know people move out you got to repaint
  389. 16:14the [ __ ] walls the carpet you got to
  390. 16:16clean the carpet you know the person
  391. 16:18managed my place said we need to get
  392. 16:19ceramic floors in here so we don't got
  393. 16:21to do the carpet every time they move
  394. 16:22out so you need to get ceramic floors
  395. 16:24put in so I had to get ceramic floors
  396. 16:25put in every single [ __ ] you know
  397. 16:27unit and you know it's costly you know
  398. 16:30Nick say you know one of my triplexes
  399. 16:31needs to be replastered the whole
  400. 16:33outside needs replastered how much is
  401. 16:35that it's going to be about 30 grand 30
  402. 16:37grand what the [ __ ] pull that out of my
  403. 16:38pocket and just give it to you and you
  404. 16:40know so it's not real estate in my
  405. 16:42opinion is is not it's not as good
  406. 16:44investment as everybody thinks it is um
  407. 16:47you know still make money but you know
  408. 16:49the money you put out to upkeep the
  409. 16:50properties and people coming in going
  410. 16:53you know you can end up breaking even
  411. 16:55and I'm making any [ __ ] money which
  412. 16:56is a [ __ ] now yeah the equity might go
  413. 16:59up but it might not it's a gamble you
  414. 17:01know now the equity in Georgetown has
  415. 17:02gone up that [ __ ] has not gone down it
  416. 17:04just keeps going up it's going up slow
  417. 17:06but it's going up so you know it's a
  418. 17:07good thing for retirement you know I got
  419. 17:09those properties whatever um that was
  420. 17:12into the real estate you know I'm still
  421. 17:14renting those out still making some
  422. 17:15money it's not really a headache cuz
  423. 17:17someone manages it for me but I will not
  424. 17:20buy any more real estate for the rest of
  425. 17:22my life I am done buying [ __ ] you know
  426. 17:24right it's just I'm over it I'm over it
  427. 17:27you know um from here on out I'm just
  428. 17:30going to lease move whenever I want live
  429. 17:32wherever I want you know [ __ ] this
  430. 17:33[ __ ] you know buying [ __ ] upkeeping
  431. 17:36and the thing is people don't
  432. 17:36understands when you buy something you
  433. 17:38live there you you want to make it the
  434. 17:40best it can be it's like when you have a
  435. 17:41nice car you want to get rims and tires
  436. 17:43and this and that and you know put put a
  437. 17:44[ __ ] blower on it next thing you know

  497. 19:34[ __ ] fun you know to be at Expo and
  498. 19:36you know and so we did some video shoots
  499. 19:38and videos took off and from there it
  500. 19:40just grew you know and you know that I
  501. 19:42had the idea you know [ __ ] you know uh
  502. 19:45I've always wanted to do a supplement
  503. 19:46line I've always had my ideas I always
  504. 19:48want to come out with the right [ __ ] I
  505. 19:49want to give people the truth tell
  506. 19:51people the truth and you know this is my
  507. 19:53chance you know to [ __ ] let people
  508. 19:55know what the [ __ ] is up you know
  509. 19:57because I spent you know all my teenage
  510. 19:59years buying weight gainers and [ __ ]
  511. 20:01buying protein powders and you know
  512. 20:03spending my money or stealing that [ __ ]
  513. 20:06whatever and uh you know it it it took
  514. 20:09me about 10 years to realize that you
  515. 20:11know real bodybuilders Mr olympias
  516. 20:13they're eating [ __ ] eight eight meals
  517. 20:15a day healthy food that's what they're
  518. 20:17doing you know I was eating [ __ ]
  519. 20:19In-N-Out and [ __ ] McDonald's you know
  520. 20:21and then [ __ ] drinking weight gainers
  521. 20:23and protein powders and I thought I was
  522. 20:24doing the right thing you know my my
  523. 20:26idea was taking as many calories as you
  524. 20:28can
  525. 20:29and take as much weight gainer and
  526. 20:30protein powder as you can throughout the
  527. 20:32day and [ __ ] train as hard and long
  528. 20:34as you can and that's that's how you get
  529. 20:36big you know and I had that [ __ ]
  530. 20:38backwards and every teenager out there
  531. 20:41any kid out there 16 years old is buy a
  532. 20:43weight gainer I guar [ __ ] te it you
  533. 20:45know and that's why I want that message
  534. 20:46to get out there that [ __ ] Weight Gainer
  535. 20:49eat the [ __ ] food food is better you
  536. 20:52don't need no [ __ ] garbage anyway
  537. 20:54that's a whole another subject we
  538. 20:55already talked about a million times you
  539. 20:56guys are sick of that [ __ ] so um
  540. 20:59supplement company started that and it's
  541. 21:01going great I'm having a blast and I
  542. 21:04have right now honestly I have four
  543. 21:06other businesses I have a business plan
  544. 21:09written out for all four of them I'm
  545. 21:10ready to go but I just don't have the
  546. 21:12time I don't I I can't take away what
  547. 21:14I'm doing with my other things you know
  548. 21:16to focus on any other businesses right
  549. 21:18now but you know that's that's the way
  550. 21:21my mind
  551. 21:22works is you know you can never do
  552. 21:26enough no matter who you are
  553. 21:29you can always do more you can always
  554. 21:31become better you know you can always
  555. 21:33become more successful but you have to
  556. 21:34be driven for your mind to think that
  557. 21:37way every single [ __ ] day you know
  558. 21:40and what happens is people get
  559. 21:42comfortable you know they get stuck in a
  560. 21:449 to-5 job they're making enough money
  561. 21:46to get by right and what do they do they
  562. 21:50just stay there stay at that job for the
  563. 21:52rest of their [ __ ] life you know they
  564. 21:54never think [ __ ] why don't I why don't I
  565. 21:56try to find something better and while
  566. 21:58I'm working here I'm going to work on
  567. 21:59something better you know and then I can
  568. 22:01go over to something better and then
  569. 22:03when I'm here what can I do that's
  570. 22:04better in other words every day your
  571. 22:06mind is thinking what can I do that's
  572. 22:07better what can I do that's better what
  573. 22:08can I do that's better rather than just
  574. 22:10being comfortable and just going to work
  575. 22:129 to5 you know and and not ever thinking
  576. 22:16about improving your life or being more
  577. 22:18successful and it's the same thing with
  578. 22:19bodybuilding you know you have to
  579. 22:21constantly be motivated to go in the gym
  580. 22:23and kill that [ __ ] get on that cardio
  581. 22:25stick to that [ __ ] diet it's the same
  582. 22:27[ __ ] with success you got to be
  583. 22:29motivated to continually 24 hours a day
  584. 22:32be thinking about what the [ __ ] you can
  585. 22:33do to be better you know and there's a
  586. 22:37lot of people out there that you know
  587. 22:38have made it in certain areas of life
  588. 22:40bodybuilding this that but when it comes
  589. 22:43to just pure Financial Freedom and
  590. 22:45success you know they haven't made it
  591. 22:48and what I don't understand is in my
  592. 22:49opinion that should be the number one
  593. 22:52priority you know would I rather have
  594. 22:54muscles or would I rather know I have
  595. 22:57enough money to never have to think
  596. 22:59about money never have to worry about
  597. 23:01money for the rest of my [ __ ] life
  598. 23:03what what would I choose the muscles or
  599. 23:06the [ __ ] success it's a no-brainer
  600. 23:09for me man I don't give a [ __ ] about the
  601. 23:11muscles you know it's something I enjoy
  602. 23:13doing and so forth but you know the
  603. 23:15success and knowing that you never have
  604. 23:18to ever think about where money's going
  605. 23:20to come from how you going to pay for
  606. 23:21this how you going to pay for that to me
  607. 23:23is the best feeling in the [ __ ] world
  608. 23:25and like I've said a million times
  609. 23:26anyone out there that's competing in
  610. 23:27bbing contest if you took all that
  611. 23:30effort you put into that show and you
  612. 23:32put that into any kind of venture
  613. 23:35business venture whatsoever and you put
  614. 23:37that much effort in I guarantee you you
  615. 23:39would succeed in that business no doubt
  616. 23:42about it because I used to compete in
  617. 23:44bodybuilding and honestly I don't even
  618. 23:46know if I think I still to this day put
  619. 23:48more into a bodybuilding contest than I
  620. 23:51put into any business venture I've done
  621. 23:54seriously I mean that's that's [ __ ] up
  622. 23:56but it's the truth you know when I
  623. 23:57competed for a show was [ __ ] training
  624. 23:59you know 2 hours a day doing cardio
  625. 24:01twice a day eating 10 times a day you
  626. 24:03know putting needle in my ass you know
  627. 24:05making sure I got enough sleep it was
  628. 24:06constant everything was about that show
  629. 24:08you know and that's all I thought about
  630. 24:10that's all you know and that that's what
  631. 24:11I did and uh you know bodybuilding is 24
  632. 24:14hours a day you know it's in your head
  633. 24:1624 hours a day now if you could have
  634. 24:18that same exact mentality towards
  635. 24:25success it'd be a no-brainer you could
  636. 24:28easy do it but for whatever reason man
  637. 24:31you know a lot of people they don't see
  638. 24:34they don't see you know being successful
  639. 24:35or Financial Freedom maybe it's not
  640. 24:37maybe in their head it's not a
  641. 24:38possibility maybe in their head this is
  642. 24:40just nothing I can ever accomplish and
  643. 24:42that's the first mistake because then
  644. 24:43you're you've already ruined everything
  645. 24:46you know so the first thing you have to
  646. 24:47do is realize that you can [ __ ]
  647. 24:49accomplish anything you [ __ ]
  648. 24:52want and anybody can and I'm telling you
  649. 24:55man I'm the last [ __ ] in the
  650. 24:57world that should be doing as well as I
  651. 24:59am and like I said man I grew up broke I
  652. 25:03didn't have no mentors you know telling
  653. 25:05me I need to go to college I didn't have
  654. 25:07no mentors you know explaining anything
  655. 25:09about you know businesses or making
  656. 25:11money or anything you know that wasn't
  657. 25:13even that wasn't even never even brought
  658. 25:15up to me as a kid never never talked
  659. 25:17about anything about being successful or
  660. 25:19you know um you know you know trying to
  661. 25:22be the best you can be so I'm just
  662. 25:25saying that you know if I could do it
  663. 25:27you can [ __ ] do it so anyway I hope
  664. 25:29this helps I hope this motivates and uh
