TJR On Why Attention Beat Money — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Thank you for coming on last minute. You
- 0:01were going to come on as the second
- 0:02guest, but uh yeah, Eric Vorhees clearly
- 0:05does not with us.
- 0:07>> Man, bro, what'd you guys do?
- 0:08>> He hates us. I don't know.
- 0:10>> No, he had he had an emergency. We'll
- 0:12have him on next week or one of the
- 0:13following weeks. I was excited about Do
- 0:15you know anything about him?
- 0:16>> No. No. Yeah, you mentioned the name. I
- 0:18have no clue.
- 0:20>> So, this show, what do you think about
- 0:21this show first off?
- 0:22>> I I'm I was pumped about it. I watched
- 0:24the full the full first one that you
- 0:26guys did. It was awesome.
- 0:28>> Yeah. I I think that this is um I mean
- 0:32obviously there's a whole lot of uh
- 0:34these like stock and crypto shows but I
- 0:38think you guys are bringing like a fresh
- 0:40youthful energy to it where we can mix
- 0:43the I mean it's kind of what I do online
- 0:45you mix like
- 0:46>> entertainment with education and you
- 0:49know put it out to the masses because I
- 0:52mean we saw um what has happened with
- 0:55other finance uh podcasts that get like
- 0:59very little viewership, you know,
- 1:00getting acquired for millions of
- 1:02dollars, which is just insane. Like
- 1:04imagine at what scale, you know, you
- 1:06would be able to bring this to if you
- 1:08guys can get like a whole lot more
- 1:10viewership, which I mean, so far has
- 1:12been the case.
- 1:12>> I think something that we're touching on
- 1:14too, which I feel like a lot of these
- 1:16like more traditional finance tech shows
- 1:18ignore, is um an emphasis on attention.
- 1:21And we we kind of like open this show up
- 1:23with that and we we talked about Did you
- 1:25watch Do you watch Thread Guy at all?
- 1:27>> Yeah. Yeah. Did you watch his uh
- 1:28interview with Chris Camillo?
- 1:30>> No,
- 1:31>> I haven't yet. Are you familiar with
- 1:32Chris Camilo though?
- 1:34>> No. What? Who is he?
- 1:35>> Big narrative trader, bull posts,
- 1:37Amazon. [ __ ] brilliant guy. Super
- 1:39super smart guy. I think he's my
- 1:41favorite. He's like I think he's
- 1:42becoming my goat.
- 1:43>> Yeah, he he trades on narratives and
- 1:44momentum. He flipped 20k into 80 mil
- 1:46just trading stocks and like
- 1:48>> firing hard into like single names that
- 1:50he thought were undervalued and then
- 1:52riding um those trends and just like
- 1:54rotating really aggressively. The same
- 1:56way we rotate aggressively in crypto
- 1:57like in 2021 it was like Salana, Luna,
- 2:00Avac when one's not moving another one.
- 2:02>> He behaves he behaves in traditional
- 2:03stocks and trading traditional stocks as
- 2:05if he was in crypto. He sounds like a
- 2:07guy who lives in crypto but he he
- 2:09doesn't.
- 2:10>> Stocks is the move now in my opinion
- 2:13>> for sure. We were just talking about
- 2:15that is crypto entering a bull market.
- 2:17What was your final conclusion on that?
- 2:19I I think that yes, I I'll say yes, but
- 2:22I just think I don't think Bitcoin and
- 2:24ETH are going to outperform in the same
- 2:26way that the leading other leading
- 2:27assets are. I think Zcash and I think
- 2:29Hype are both going to trend to all-time
- 2:31highs over the next few months. Um, but
- 2:33I think if I was like, how to split my
- 2:36portfolio right now, it would probably
- 2:38be like 70% stocks, 30% crypto. That's
- 2:40how I would I would do the split. Um, I
- 2:42know TJR, you traded crypto, you trade
- 2:44stocks. um tell us a little bit about
- 2:46like your story with trading, how you
- 2:48started with trading and then um how you
- 2:50switched not switched but like got into
- 2:53content from trading and like your view
- 2:55on how that's that's beneficial for
- 2:57people.
- 2:58>> Yeah, for sure. So, I first learned
- 3:00about crypto when I was a freshman in
- 3:02high school. There was a senior on our
- 3:04football team. Um he was like kind of
- 3:08just like the dude that could get [ __ ]
- 3:10on the black market was always like kind
- 3:12of a weird guy. Um, and he was on our
- 3:16football team and essentially just like
- 3:18whatever gave us the whole Bitcoin's
- 3:20going to change the world pitch. Um, and
- 3:23he ended up getting a brand new I think
- 3:26at the time it was like the i8 butterfly
- 3:28doors license plate said Bitcoin. Um,
- 3:32and once I saw that I was like, "Okay,
- 3:34I'm freaking sold." You know, like this
- 3:36dude was able to pretty much just say
- 3:37like, "Fuck everything. I'm able to do
- 3:39this." And as a high schooler, I'd never
- 3:41seen anything like that. Yeah.
- 3:42>> Um and then from there just like pursued
- 3:45crypto um pretty hard and then that's
- 3:49really what led me to get into trading.
- 3:51Started out trading um currencies and
- 3:54that was like okay I was trading the
- 3:58pound against the yen for a bit and then
- 4:00I would trade gold as well. Um
- 4:02>> what gave you the idea to do that
- 4:04>> bro? I literally just looked up like day
- 4:07trading on YouTube. Um, and you know,
- 4:10like
- 4:11>> literally. Yeah. Um, and then from
- 4:14there,
- 4:15>> uh, was doing that pretty much all
- 4:17throughout high school. And then the
- 4:192020 bull run is really where I made the
- 4:22majority of my money. It was just like
- 4:23Salana. Everything was built on Salana.
- 4:25And then from there, once I had like a
- 4:28fat stack of cash, um, trading became a
- 4:31lot easier. I think I'm sure a lot of
- 4:34you guys can maybe relate to that where
- 4:36when you no longer are trying to like
- 4:38forcefully make trading uh work like you
- 4:42need it to pay rent or put food on the
- 4:45table. Um it becomes a lot easier to
- 4:48trade because you're not so worried
- 4:49about the risk. You're not nearly as
- 4:51emotional or as emotionally connected to
- 4:53the money that you're risking. Um and
- 4:56then from there I gradually switched
- 4:58over to just trading equities and doing
- 5:00futures. So now I only trade the S&P 500
- 5:03and NASDAQ and I've been doing that for
- 5:07for a while now only ES and NAS NASDAQ
- 5:11for like the past two and a half three
- 5:13years.
- 5:13>> So not only are you trading against
- 5:15attention and with that kind of at the
- 5:16forefront but you're also like I mean is
- 5:19it fair to say to say that attention is
- 5:21kind of the most important piece of like
- 5:22your entire business and like you as a
- 5:25as a brand and as a personality on the
- 5:26internet?
- 5:27>> Oh bro. Oh yeah. Yeah. I sorry I forgot
- 5:29to mention the like social media come
- 5:31up. So yeah, I started doing social
- 5:33media. It was the I want to say like the
- 5:37first semester of my sophomore year of
- 5:41college. Um and then I ended up dropping
- 5:44out right after right after that because
- 5:47that was when everything just hit
- 5:48all-time highs and obviously made a bag
- 5:51from crypto. And then I ended up moving
- 5:53out here to Puerto Rico to avoid all
- 5:55taxes. Um and then
- 5:57>> smart
- 5:58>> that smart.
- 5:59>> Yeah. So that is moving to Puerto Rico
- 6:02is really what like really kicked off my
- 6:05influencer
- 6:07um career because I, you know, wasn't
- 6:10really living in like a college town
- 6:11anymore and I wasn't really like
- 6:14constricted to other people's opinions
- 6:16of like
- 6:17>> and let's face it, what the [ __ ] else is
- 6:18there to do in Puerto Rico, right? So
- 6:19it's like
- 6:20>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 6:22Yeah.
- 6:24>> No, genuinely like I got out here and I
- 6:26looked around and there was the only
- 6:27friends that I could make were 50 years
- 6:29old or older and it was like, "Okay,
- 6:32what are these guys doing? They're
- 6:33working." So I only trade for an hour
- 6:35and a half, two hours in the morning, so
- 6:36I might as well make Tik Toks and
- 6:38YouTube videos on how to do this [ __ ]
- 6:40Um, so
- 6:41>> so it changed your life in two ways
- 6:42really. And obviously one was more
- 6:43calculated and financially um charged,
- 6:47but the second one like Yeah, that's
- 6:49that's interesting. We've actually never
- 6:50talked about that, but that's that's
- 6:51cool.
- 6:52>> Yeah. And now, I mean, bro, I see like
- 6:55attention as just the best currency
- 6:59nowadays. Um, you know, like obviously I
- 7:01do my trading in the morning, but I'm
- 7:02killing two birds, one stone. Like, I'm
- 7:04streaming my trading on kick in the
- 7:07morning and then after that, I'm
- 7:08continuing the stream going IRL or doing
- 7:1120 30 Tik Toks during the day or making
- 7:14a YouTube video. Like if I'm I need to
- 7:16be putting out as much content as
- 7:18possible because I just see where the
- 7:19world's going. And you you need to have
- 7:21a social presence.
- 7:23>> We got to pick your brain on the short
- 7:24form. Tik Tok, Instagram real. You got
- 7:26to do that. You got to do that because
- 7:27you are that is definitely like
- 7:29>> in my opinion like why anybody knows who
- 7:32you are. Like that's really how you and
- 7:34[ __ ] kind of um
- 7:35>> like a like a [ __ ] virus infected
- 7:37everybody's timelines and everybody's
- 7:39reels. Um, and again, you're just like
- 7:41you're packaging and presenting like you
- 7:43said content like these subjects that
- 7:46we're discussing. We're not the only
- 7:47people who are successful or whoever
- 7:48made money trading, right? But the way
- 7:50we're packaging it and delivering it and
- 7:52and the subjects that we're pairing it
- 7:53with, like this attention piece, like
- 7:55that's what this show ultimately is
- 7:57about. It's about, you know, AI is going
- 7:59to disrupt the [ __ ] out of everything.
- 8:00We talked last time I hung out, we hung
- 8:02out, when was that? It was in LA.
- 8:04>> Yeah. I can't remember when that was.
- 8:06>> We went for a little coffee walk. It was
- 8:08[ __ ] cute. But I was like super
- 8:10pilled on the AI [ __ ] It's like right
- 8:12when I set up Open Claw, I'm like, "Bro,
- 8:13you got to go home and set this [ __ ]
- 8:14up." Where are you at with that right
- 8:16now? Where you at with AI? How is it How
- 8:17is it worked its way into your
- 8:19dayto-day? Are you [ __ ]
- 8:21>> Yeah, I just clawed the [ __ ] out of
- 8:24everything. Um, and for me
- 8:28within a most of I mean I try and use AI
- 8:32as much as possible but I feel like if
- 8:35you have like a software company for
- 8:38example obviously AI is going to be able
- 8:41to help you out immensely. But for me a
- 8:44lot of like for me it's just trading and
- 8:46trading AI isn't necessarily going to
- 8:48help me out too much at least right now.
- 8:50Um, and then content. I'm the only one
- 8:52that can be in front of the camera. So,
- 8:55a lot of my business is just like I'm
- 8:58just asking it advice for little things.
- 9:00And it's helped helped a bit on like the
- 9:02clothing brand side of things that me
- 9:04and my uh my business partner run like
- 9:07to be able to do like ads, SMS, and
- 9:09email. Um, but I feel like it's at least
- 9:13where I'm at right now. Do
- 9:14>> you think you could be doing more or
- 9:15should be doing more with it? Do you
- 9:18feel that or do you or just
- 9:20>> to be honest? Yes. But something that
- 9:24all of the most successful people that
- 9:26I've ever met in my life have told me is
- 9:29like do what you're good at. And
- 9:31>> what I've seen that I'm good at that I
- 9:34will never be replaced at is being in
- 9:36front of a camera. Um, and then also
- 9:38being in front of a chart. So, and right
- 9:41now AI can't necessarily completely
- 9:43replace me. You can still tell that it's
- 9:45an AI version of me. So until that
- 9:48becomes the case, that's when I would
- 9:50want to, you know, be able to actually
- 9:52implement that. I have implemented it
- 9:53with short form and being able to
- 9:55massproduce clips. Yeah, that's a little
- 9:57a little gem that a lot of you guys
- 9:59probably aren't hip to, but yeah, I'm
- 10:00getting like,
- 10:01>> well, that's what we preach. It's like
- 10:03use it for what it's worth. It's a tool,
- 10:04right? Be the human element. Be the best
- 10:07version of like you said, whatever
- 10:09you're good at. Um add emphasis and
- 10:11really that's kind of we're kind of
- 10:12saying the same thing in different ways.
- 10:14I think that you put all your eggs in
- 10:15the baskets that make sense. Like you
- 10:17said, for you it's being in front of a
- 10:18camera and being in front of charts. But
- 10:20um Z, I don't know. It's safe to say
- 10:23what percentage of this show does
- 10:25[ __ ] Claude produce realistically
- 10:26with the [ __ ] like I'll share it
- 10:28right now.
- 10:28>> We do a lot.
- 10:29>> Um
- 10:30>> look at this. There's there's like a
- 10:31there's like a
- 10:32>> we do topics with links and [ __ ]
- 10:34hooks and stuff and Claude does this
- 10:36whole [ __ ] thing and like
- 10:37>> we're recording all of our How do How do
- 10:41we get him back in the middle?
- 10:43Oh, three hosts here. Uh we uh we we rec
- 10:47I record every single meeting that I'm
- 10:49in with whether it's with lawyers,
- 10:51finance people on the market bubble team
- 10:54and you know record it with Gemini and
- 10:56feed it to this thing. And and the way
- 10:58that I've been using it, I think it's
- 10:59interesting for us three because there's
- 11:00so much readily available information
- 11:02about us online. And I think we talked
- 11:04about this on our walk, but it's like,
- 11:06yo, learn me and understand me in every
- 11:10single part of my business and
- 11:11everything that I'm involved in and
- 11:12invested in as much as you possibly can
- 11:15and highlight blind spots or things that
- 11:17you think I could be doing better. All
- 11:19the way from like your health and what
- 11:20you're doing, what you're eating every
- 11:22day to I don't know. It's it's it's
- 11:24that's kind of how I use it like really
- 11:26for everything. And I think I think it's
- 11:28super valuable to just like
- 11:30>> give it as much information as possible
- 11:32about you, your business, everything
- 11:33that you're doing and just allow it to
- 11:35build this like this profile on you and
- 11:37understand you better than yourself
- 11:38because that's where we're headed,
- 11:39right? Like
- 11:40>> yeah,
- 11:40>> we have to use use I a lot at Bullpen.
- 11:43Um, so one of the the key like
- 11:47advantages of Poly Market, like them
- 11:49having all of their data on chain allows
- 11:51us to do a lot with indexing that data,
- 11:54looking at the top traders, looking at
- 11:55all the the information that we get from
- 11:58that. Um, and so like we have a lot that
- 12:02we're able to do with AI, the the CL the
- 12:04CLI, which is the terminal essentially
- 12:07that's works with claude code um, and
- 12:10bullpen. If you ever wanted to like
- 12:12build a skill to look at certain sports
- 12:14trends or like look at certain
- 12:15predictions that people are are are
- 12:16looking at um you can do all that um
- 12:19directly in your terminal with with what
- 12:20we built there and also a lot of like
- 12:22the data around whales. Like here we
- 12:24have our page on predictions. This is
- 12:26like our whales page. Um and you see
- 12:29this guy is like a 55% win rate win rate
- 12:32has like 800k plus P&L. Um, they've also
- 12:36built out like if you just wanted to
- 12:38copy trade this dude, you could put how
- 12:40much you would have copy trade. Um, max
- 12:43size per position, max size per like
- 12:45trader slippage on each trade. Um, if
- 12:48you wanted to not use any of these
- 12:49limits, you can do that too. Um, but all
- 12:51these things like a lot of the stuff
- 12:53that we've built is a lot is used by AI.
- 12:56AI is in our system to build a lot of
- 12:59these different things. Um, I know TGR
- 13:01you're you're big on Poly Market. Is
- 13:03there anything you're looking at like
- 13:04trading right now with predictions wise?
- 13:06Um,
- 13:07>> yeah. So, my boy just sent me this. I
- 13:09don't want to take any any claim for
- 13:11this, but my boy sent me this this
- 13:13morning. Um, and I want to hear you
- 13:15guys' thoughts on this because I'm
- 13:17personally going to hammer it. So, I'm
- 13:19going to I'll read you.
- 13:20>> You sound I will say this. You sounded
- 13:21genuinely excited when I called you
- 13:23today. You said, "Yo, I have some
- 13:24[ __ ]
- 13:25>> I am excited. I am excited.
- 13:27>> Crazy World Cup alpha. Paul, you're
- 13:29about to get into it. You're about to
- 13:30dump it all on me." And I said, "Save it
- 13:31for the show." Okay.
- 13:33>> So, this is the first time we're hearing
- 13:34about it.
- 13:34>> Okay. So, this is Okay, this is maybe
- 13:36like part of my degenerate side showing,
- 13:39but World Cup is coming up. And so, this
- 13:42is this is one of my friends who's like
- 13:45overly loaded. Actually, he might be on
- 13:49X, but he's anonymous um massive uh
- 13:52memecoin guy. Um, so he said essentially
- 13:55you're able to buy a dollar for 80 cents
- 13:59right now on Poly Market via the World
- 14:02Cup. So he says you pretty much I'll
- 14:05just read this word for word on the top
- 14:07eight teams on World Cup Poly Market.
- 14:10You buy the same amount of shares for
- 14:13each of the teams. And the theory is
- 14:16that by buying the top eight, you're
- 14:18buying around pretty much 80% of the
- 14:21market because odds that one of those
- 14:24teams doesn't win the World Cup is very
- 14:26[ __ ] slip.
- 14:27>> Le less than 20% for sure. Surely.
- 14:29>> Exactly. So you're you're buying more
- 14:31than 80% of the total market.
- 14:33>> This could be a little This could be A
- 14:35BANGER.
- 14:36>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. That's what I'm
- 14:37saying.
- 14:39>> Okay. So again, you're assuming that one
- 14:42of the leading eight teams is going to
- 14:44win, which would cash out at a dollar.
- 14:48So if you put if you buy the same amount
- 14:50of shares across all of the top eight
- 14:53teams, then again, if you were to risk
- 14:56$30,000, you would essentially be able
- 14:58to make $6,000. It's not it's not
- 15:00anything crazy, but again, what are the
- 15:02odds of, you know, not one of the top 18
- 15:05winning?
- 15:06>> No, it makes perfect sense.
- 15:07>> World Cup. So, I'm per I'm personally
- 15:10hammering it.
- 15:11>> I think I think I'm gonna take this,
- 15:12bro, because Yeah, the top that makes
- 15:14sense. The top eight top eight teams,
- 15:17>> bro. I don't know [ __ ] about soccer,
- 15:19bro. I'm I'm way football.
- 15:21>> But what you're saying just logically
- 15:22makes perfect sense. And these these
- 15:24opportunities obviously exist in sports.
- 15:25Like, you can [ __ ] slam Serena
- 15:27Williams to win her [ __ ] 150th
- 15:30consecutive tennis match. Actually, have
- 15:31a real here's the [ __ ] word of the
- 15:33day again, anecdote. Real life. My
- 15:35friend, my friend back home, degenerate
- 15:37gambler, slammed some Serena Williams
- 15:39tennis thing. Like that's where he was
- 15:40at. $1,000 to win [ __ ] 50 bucks. But
- 15:43it's like so guaranteed. And he actually
- 15:45ended up losing. So there obviously is
- 15:46still
- 15:48wait.
- 15:50>> It was way worse than that, bro. He lost
- 15:51like 20 bands doing that.
- 15:53>> Thousand to win 50.
- 15:54>> I'm making up this number. it was closer
- 15:56to probably a 20 bands of money that he
- 15:59didn't have um to win probably a couple
- 16:01racks, you know, but in his mind it's
- 16:03just like let me farm this quick easy,
- 16:06you know, $1,000. But um no, but but but
- 16:09the 20% discrepancy is [ __ ] crazy.
- 16:12Like that that's probably the real odds
- 16:14of that if you ask [ __ ] Claude. I
- 16:16mean, I can do it right now.
- 16:17>> I wonder
- 16:19I'm going to ask Claude. I'm going to
- 16:20ask Claude right now. I'm going to ask
- 16:21Claude.
- 16:21>> Yeah, that's that is interesting. I mean
- 16:23that the the thing I think with with
- 16:25with poly market and predictions because
- 16:27they're so new and because there's not a
- 16:29lot of volume on them in some certain
- 16:30markets there's a lot of inefficiencies
- 16:32that retail specifically can take
- 16:34advantage of. Um it's kind of similar to
- 16:37what the Chris Camila guy was talking
- 16:38about. It's like there's areas where if
- 16:40you're not a large entity that needs to
- 16:42trade like billions of dollars, there's
- 16:44certain areas in the market where you
- 16:45just can be better than a fund is. And I
- 16:47think it's the same thing with
- 16:48prediction markets. Um there's a lot of
- 16:50areas that you can trade where you might
- 16:52just have an advantage, have more
- 16:53knowledge on that certain topic than
- 16:55somebody or you see something that moves
- 16:57slower than um something else. Like a
- 16:58lot of people have made bots
- 17:01specifically for tailing people that are
- 17:03doing well or tailing or adop adapting
- 17:07uh to changes in other markets that like
- 17:09poly market's not the first for. So it's
- 17:11definitely an area you can you can make
- 17:13money on.
- 17:14>> That might be a little money glitch,
- 17:15brother. I might have to slam that as
- 17:17well. What's What's the uh
- 17:19>> I might have just said that as well. 100
- 17:21bands win win win a quick 20. It's like
- 17:23guaranteed.
- 17:24>> That's what I'm saying. That's what I
- 17:26was thinking. Like, yo, risk risk a 100
- 17:29rags.
- 17:29>> 100.
- 17:30>> Yeah, that's that's
- 17:33Oh, we might have lost them.
- 17:35>> Yeah.
- 17:35>> No, sorry. Sorry. My [ __ ]
- 17:38>> um Are you the Isn't the World Cup in
- 17:40New York? It's here, right?
- 17:42>> It's in the US. Yeah. Yeah,
- 17:43>> it's in I think some of the games are in
- 17:45It's in New York, right? Wait, wait,
- 17:47hold on now. Hold on, hold on, hold on,
- 17:48hold on.
- 17:49>> There's one in Miami. I know that.
- 17:54>> It's saying it's saying 20%. It's it's
- 17:56it's it's odds. It's odds for the top
- 18:00for somebody in the top. This is clawed.
- 18:02I didn't give it any other context. I
- 18:03just gave it what do you think the odds
- 18:04the top eight favored teams, whatever.
- 18:06And um
- 18:09it says 20. It says combine 80%. So
- 18:12>> So you chance
- 18:13>> Poly Market's accurate. I guess you're
- 18:15not really getting a ton of
- 18:18I don't know. When's the last time
- 18:20somebody out of the top eight though
- 18:22won? Is that
- 18:22>> That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm
- 18:24saying. Like look at find that average.
- 18:26>> 20 20% is [ __ ] crazy.
- 18:28>> Yeah.
- 18:29>> I wonder how much it is to go to some of
- 18:31the games. So those are probably going
- 18:32to be lit.
- 18:33>> Um
- 18:34>> I'm definitely going to go. I don't even
- 18:35know [ __ ] I don't know [ __ ] about
- 18:36soccer, but I know they turn up.
- 18:38>> Yeah, they're Bro, soccer fans are die
- 18:41hard.
- 18:42>> They're die hard.
- 18:44>> Yeah. I might pull up to some of that
- 18:45[ __ ] too. It's in June, right? The
- 18:47first I think the first round is in
- 18:48June. Like middle of June or something.
- 18:52I think
- 18:57>> So, you're still you're still in in PR
- 18:59now, right? How much you go back and
- 19:00forth or like you have to do 50% or
- 19:02whatever it is?
- 19:03>> Yeah, you got to do 183 days out here.
- 19:07And honestly, man, I I need to talk my
- 19:10[ __ ] Everybody, everybody on Twitter, I
- 19:12love seeing people on Twitter say, "Oh,
- 19:14yeah. I could move to Puerto Rico, but I
- 19:16don't want to live in a hut." Bro,
- 19:19Puerto Rico living is so great. Like, it
- 19:22is.
- 19:22>> You're never going to convince me.
- 19:24>> It's so good. Have you, bro? Come to
- 19:27Dorado Beach. Come to Dorado Beach.
- 19:29Rich. I'm sure I could enjoy. I could
- 19:32enjoy. We honestly should.
- 19:33>> We should We should pull up. I'm down to
- 19:35come visit.
- 19:36>> Puerto Ricans are sexy as [ __ ] too.
- 19:38Puerto Rican girls are sexy as [ __ ]
- 19:40That's true.
- 19:40>> Um, I'm sure I could enjoy it with you.
- 19:42You obviously have a whole [ __ ] home
- 19:43base. You're talking about buying
- 19:44[ __ ] ferris wheels and [ __ ] You're
- 19:46like buying up real estate and business
- 19:48in Puerto Rico.
- 19:49>> Okay. So, so for for for context, they
- 19:52just extended the tax act to 2055.
- 19:54Originally, it was going to end in 2035.
- 19:57So, first of all, you have to understand
- 19:59that my income I'm making double what
- 20:02everybody else if they're making the
- 20:04same amount as me, I'm making double the
- 20:05amount as them. And then not only that,
- 20:08I'm able to make double from my
- 20:09investments because it's 4% federal
- 20:12income tax. So I'm still still paying a
- 20:14tiny bit, but then 0% capital gains. So
- 20:18how do you expect anybody that's making
- 20:20the same amount of money in the states
- 20:21to be able to operate at the same level?
- 20:24It's just not possible. Um, and I also
- 20:28look at all of these billionaires that
- 20:30are living here. If they if they can
- 20:33justify living here, I sure as hell can
- 20:35justify living here. And I also
- 20:37>> I think it makes perfect sense for you.
- 20:38I think it makes perfect sense for you.
- 20:40And honestly, I'm really [ __ ] sold on
- 20:42it in regards of like you and your life
- 20:44just just based on kind of kind of
- 20:47learning and discovering that that's
- 20:48really what pushed you into content as
- 20:50heavy as you're in it. Like being bored
- 20:52is a good thing sometimes. I mean, right
- 20:53now like I I'm I'm super I've isolated
- 20:55myself the last the last year. Not in
- 20:57like a depressing dark way, but I've
- 20:59I've decided to spend a lot more time on
- 21:00my own with myself and it's been great.
- 21:03It's been very productive. I live alone
- 21:05now. Um, and yeah, I mean being bored
- 21:08and having nothing to do and being in
- 21:09your in your head in when in a good
- 21:12Yeah, being in grind mode is a good
- 21:14thing.
- 21:14>> Wait, so when's your number on when you
- 21:16would leave though? Like there has to be
- 21:17some number where you're like, "Okay, I
- 21:19don't need to be in Puerto Rico anymore
- 21:21>> cuz like if you like are you going to
- 21:23you plan on settling down there like
- 21:25forever or like you want to,
- 21:26>> bro? There's one of the best private
- 21:28schools in the country in my freaking
- 21:29neighborhood."
- 21:30>> For real.
- 21:31>> Like Yes, bro. So if I have kids, I know
- 21:33exactly where I'm sending them. Oh,
- 21:34you're you're really serious about the
- 21:36Puerto Rico [ __ ] For real,
- 21:37>> brother. When I say he bought a ferris
- 21:39wheel, he's like buying business in real
- 21:41estate in Puerto Rico actively.
- 21:43>> That's why.
- 21:44>> Yeah. Like I mean, obviously I think the
- 21:49only thing that I have with Puerto Rico
- 21:52is is the days. Like I love having this
- 21:56being my primary residence, but I would
- 21:58just like to travel a little bit more.
- 22:00like if I could only spend like four
- 22:02months here, that would be best for me.
- 22:05Um, so honestly, I think, bro, I love
- 22:09life out here. So, I honestly never
- 22:12really imagine myself leaving this as my
- 22:15primary residence. But if I say
- 22:18whatever, I want to have a house in like
- 22:21Orange County, which I love Orange
- 22:23County. Um, then, you know, maybe once I
- 22:27hit a certain number or
- 22:29>> what I personally, I don't really know
- 22:31what that what that number is. Um, but
- 22:35it would have to be a lot to be honest.
- 22:37>> There's a huge factor we're not talking
- 22:38about or considering right now either.
- 22:40And that's just like who you wind up
- 22:41having kids with, who your wife ends up
- 22:43being, who your partner ends up being.
- 22:44Obviously, her opinion and how she feels
- 22:46like
- 22:46>> is going to heavily dictate what you do
- 22:49next. And that completely changes
- 22:50things. You know what I mean?
- 22:51>> No, for sure.
- 22:53>> It's interesting.
- 22:54>> Um,
- 22:55>> but you you can't tell me that like
- 22:57Okay, so you live in LA and then Anom,
- 23:01where do you where do you live? New
- 23:02York.
- 23:02>> In New York. Yeah.
- 23:04>> Oh, so you guys are getting
- 23:06>> we're getting wrecked. We also live in
- 23:08the two best cities on earth, brother.
- 23:10>> That I can go and visit for half the
- 23:13year and I can still get tax advantages,
- 23:17bro. Like,
- 23:18>> you know,
- 23:20>> so like you're not telling me, okay, I'm
- 23:23I'm here I'm here to pitch you guys.
- 23:25Like, you're not telling me that you
- 23:26don't spend at least half of your year
- 23:30in an office or working
- 23:34>> this last year maybe. But but my the
- 23:36whole my whole life, no. And I don't
- 23:38know, man. Like it's whenever I think
- 23:40about this. I like waking up and I like
- 23:43walking through Beverly Hills and I like
- 23:45[ __ ] my little routine and I love the
- 23:46weather and I love the people. I have a
- 23:48whole life here, you know? I have a
- 23:50company, employees here. I have [ __ ]
- 23:52I built an entire life for myself, which
- 23:54is why I worked so hard was to build
- 23:56this foundation and this life for that's
- 23:57like the loop that I get stuck in. I'm
- 23:59like,
- 23:59>> see that somebody like you, that's
- 24:01that's the that's the most difficult
- 24:02thing for people. I left a place that I
- 24:05had no attachment at all. You know, I
- 24:08was leaving like Salt Lake City,
- 24:10freaking Utah that I was just like, bet.
- 24:12Like, do
- 24:13>> I will say this, the first original FaZe
- 24:14house, we all moved into a house in Long
- 24:16Island because it was close to the
- 24:17sponsor that was paying for it. This
- 24:18before any of us made any sort of bread.
- 24:21Um, and we lived in a house in uh Plain
- 24:23View, Long Island, and we never left the
- 24:26crib. We sat in the house all day and
- 24:27played Call of Duty and CS:GO and made
- 24:29[ __ ] YouTube videos, and we could
- 24:30have did that anywhere. And um it was
- 24:32one of the most lively, engaging, one of
- 24:35one of my most it's it's a chapter of my
- 24:38life that I cherish. And I think part of
- 24:40it was I I wasn't leaving anything
- 24:41behind. I was like trying actively to
- 24:43switch it up and I was with who I needed
- 24:46to be. I I don't know.
- 24:49>> Yeah. I I love New York, bro. I'm not
- 24:50going anywhere. I'm not.
- 24:52>> Yeah. New New York New York's great for
- 24:55sure. New York New York is one of those
- 24:56cities where you just like everywhere
- 24:58you go, if you travel, like if you stay
- 25:01there for a certain amount of time and
- 25:02you come back to New York, always like,
- 25:03"Yeah, there's no city like New York."
- 25:05No matter where I go, literally. Um, so
- 25:07yeah, I'm
- 25:08>> I I agree with that. New York New York
- 25:10is is amazing. Every time I go there,
- 25:12I'm like, "Damn, this is this is the
- 25:14city for sure."
- 25:15>> Okay, so so breakdown. I I didn't catch
- 25:18the beginning of this because I was um
- 25:21busy. What were you guys talking like
- 25:23stocks and crypto-wise? Yeah, we're
- 25:25talking about stocks, talking about
- 25:26crypto. Um, we were talking about Zcash
- 25:28and Hype. We think those are like the
- 25:30two best crypto trades right now.
- 25:32>> Great.
- 25:33>> I'm just crushing it, bro. The
- 25:34>> Hyperliquid's an amazing
- 25:35>> My only um only caveat with Hype, like
- 25:38their their past quarter, their revenue
- 25:40is pretty much flat. Like it's one of
- 25:42the only quarters that they haven't
- 25:43grown substantially in revenue since
- 25:44their launch. But they've done an
- 25:46amazing job with um implementing stocks
- 25:49trading. So like before obviously they'd
- 25:51per all of crypto. Now they have per for
- 25:53stocks, commodities, crypto, all these
- 25:55things. And I think stocks right now are
- 25:56close to like 30 or 40% of the top 10
- 25:59like volume right now on what's what's
- 26:01trading on the platform.
- 26:02>> So I'm surprised TJ trade on Hyperlid
- 26:04ever.
- 26:04>> I was No, I was just about to say I'm
- 26:06actually thinking of transitioning to
- 26:09trading.
- 26:11>> You absolutely should.
- 26:12>> Okay. So the only the only problem is
- 26:14when I tested it
- 26:17>> trading pers is at least when you're
- 26:20calculating risk or maybe because I was
- 26:22doing it on my phone maybe it's better
- 26:24on desktop but when you're calculating
- 26:26risk you have to adjust leverage every
- 26:28single time because for me I'm not
- 26:29placing um trades based off of just like
- 26:33a certain like obviously I have a set
- 26:34dollar amount that I'm willing to risk
- 26:36per trade but I'm doing it based off of
- 26:37price action and for me I'm entering
- 26:40like when I'm trading on futures I need
- 26:42to be able to enter within seconds.
- 26:45>> Um, so being able to whatever drag the
- 26:48little leverage button and then find the
- 26:50exact amount of leverage and then put it
- 26:52into like a risk management calculator
- 26:54to be able to find exactly where that's
- 26:56supposed to be at to place my stop and
- 26:58whatever. Um, at least when I tested it
- 27:01on my phone, it was maybe I didn't give
- 27:04it enough of a shot, but it took too
- 27:07much time versus on Trading View, you
- 27:09know, that shit's automatically
- 27:10integrated. You literally just press a
- 27:12button and then boom, like it's done.
- 27:13They already have like the risk
- 27:15management tool open on the right hand
- 27:16side when you're even thinking of
- 27:18placing the trade when you're trading
- 27:19futures.
- 27:20>> Yeah, I mean for for bullpen we
- 27:23implemented implemented hyperl on the
- 27:25back end. Um if you wanted to ever just
- 27:27test out our platform and see like if it
- 27:29is direct onetoone with how you trade on
- 27:32whatever you do interactive brokers or
- 27:34>> no no I do uh trade station trade
- 27:38station. Yeah. A lot of the the same
- 27:40things you can do there you can do on
- 27:41bullpen. We have pers for stocks. Perks
- 27:43for the index, but you said you trade
- 27:44mostly the the indices, right?
- 27:46>> Yeah. Yes. And NASDAQ.
- 27:48>> Yeah. So, we have everything um here.
- 27:50We're actually doing a competition next
- 27:52week. Um you definitely should sign up
- 27:55and join if if you're interested in
- 27:56testing out Hyperlid, but it's 25K to
- 27:58enter and then the winner gets 100K. So
- 28:01we can trade whatever you want that's
- 28:03available on like the hyperlquid
- 28:05platform which we all have enabled
- 28:07crypto indices stocks anything. Um but
- 28:09yeah we're doing that next
- 28:11>> I need to test it out on my desktop cuz
- 28:13when I was doing it on my phone I like
- 28:15just gave up immediately. I was like,
- 28:16"Bro, dragging this leverage thing is
- 28:18going to drive me freaking nuts." And
- 28:20having to calculate the the risk on the
- 28:23side or like go to a completely
- 28:24different browser to calculate risk to
- 28:26figure out what x leverage I'm supposed
- 28:28to put on this is it's just not going to
- 28:31work with my style.
- 28:32>> Yeah. No. Yeah. You should I can get you
- 28:35all all set up. But um it's you might
- 28:37have also tried it out like a lot
- 28:39earlier in their in their days. They've
- 28:40been made like a lot of improvements to
- 28:42the platform and desktop is definitely
- 28:43better than than mobile. But we have
- 28:45both. Um. Yeah.
- 28:48>> So, what's what's what's hot stock stock
- 28:50stock narratives? Obviously, obviously
- 28:53AI, but um
- 28:55>> what are what are you what are you
- 28:57looking at right now?
- 28:58>> Yeah, I'm looking at um we talked about
- 29:00Intel earlier. I think Intel is really
- 29:02good. It's up a good amount. I think
- 29:03it's going to pull back and consolidate,
- 29:05but I think the this year, next year,
- 29:08they're going to be one of the core um
- 29:10stocks that's going to do well the same
- 29:11way that Nvidia did well from 2022 to
- 29:14now. So I like Intel a lot. Um we also
- 29:16talked about Souls which is like a lower
- 29:18key one. This company called Solstice
- 29:20Advanced Materials. So they're one of
- 29:22the key um parts of the process of
- 29:25converting uranium ore to um what you
- 29:29need for nuclear power and like as you
- 29:32know
- 29:32>> Earth those ones are going crazy.
- 29:34>> Yeah. Yeah. So they're they're um one of
- 29:37the companies involved with that
- 29:38solstice. Um, like the US is investing a
- 29:41lot into energy, a lot into the grid,
- 29:43and we think that's going to be one of
- 29:44the areas that catches this AI tailwind
- 29:46of momentum that hasn't really moved all
- 29:48that much yet. Um, what else have we
- 29:50talked about? We talked about MP. That's
- 29:52another like rare earth metals company.
- 29:55Um,
- 29:55>> Trump is looking to close off all those
- 29:58ch uh all the connections to China rare
- 30:02earth stuff uh January 1st, 2027. So, I
- 30:05mean, who knows if that's that's, you
- 30:08know, like a buy the rumor, sell the
- 30:10news sort of situation. I think that
- 30:12it'll probably like price itself in
- 30:14before January 1st of 2027. Um, but
- 30:18that's that I have the same thesis.
- 30:19That's like where my head's at with all
- 30:20the rare earth stuff.
- 30:21>> It's not even a rumor for this
- 30:23specifically because you know how Trump
- 30:25bought 10% of Intel.
- 30:26>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 30:27>> They also bought I think it's 5% of this
- 30:30company MP. So, they already have like
- 30:31invested in the company and when they
- 30:33first invested in it, I think it was
- 30:35like
- 30:36>> a little late in 2025 and it it moved up
- 30:38a lot. Now, it's like consolidated. I
- 30:40think it's going to start moving.
- 30:41>> MP's chart.
- 30:42>> MP. Yeah. Pull it up.
- 30:43>> It's a good It's a good chart.
- 30:44>> I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
- 30:45What else are they [ __ ] buying again?
- 30:47Before today, I didn't know the US could
- 30:49go buy companies like
- 30:50>> Yeah, the [ __ ] is that?
- 30:52>> Crazy.
- 30:53>> That changes everything.
- 30:54>> Yeah, I'll pull I'll pull up the chart.
- 30:56It's um Yes, this is the MP chart. Um,
- 31:00so I think here was like the original
- 31:02announcement in like late mid 2025. It
- 31:05went from 15 or like 18 to close to 100,
- 31:10tapped 100, and now it's just been
- 31:12sitting consolidating over it prior
- 31:13alltime highs. I think it's a good spot.
- 31:15Um, I agree on the rare earths. Um, the
- 31:18US wants to be not relying on China as
- 31:19much as we're reliant now because we're
- 31:21like so heavily relying on them and
- 31:23obviously it's not a great thing. Um, so
- 31:24I think the companies that are um
- 31:27building and working in this area are
- 31:28going to do well. But yeah,
- 31:30>> what's the market cap? 10B's.
- 31:31>> It's it's low, bro. Yeah, it's 10bs.
- 31:34>> How about um how about space? Because
- 31:36obviously SpaceX is going to IPO?
- 31:39Obviously, Rocket Lab's been going crazy
- 31:41and uh Fly Aerospace. Um, you think
- 31:44those keep keep going until uh SpaceX
- 31:48IPOs and then we get a big push from
- 31:51whatever pretty much all space stocks
- 31:53once we see the market cap that SpaceX
- 31:56IPOs at.
- 31:57>> Yeah, actually actually hit Rocket Lab
- 31:59really well. I I bought it at like 67
- 32:02and sold at like 60 something. Um,
- 32:06>> dude, we're [ __ ] ridiculous.
- 32:09Ridiculous.
- 32:10Yeah. But no, I think Rocket Lab is
- 32:12going to do well. I I wish I would have
- 32:13re-entered though. Like I That was one
- 32:15where I was like, "This [ __ ] 10x. It's
- 32:16obviously topped for now." Like, I'm
- 32:18going to just exit. It topped and then
- 32:19it just kept [ __ ] ripping and it went
- 32:21to like 120 or something now. I'm not in
- 32:24it right now, but I I agree it's a good
- 32:26spot. I think SpaceX the valuation is so
- 32:29ridiculous. I think they're trying to
- 32:31IPO like 1.8 trillion or some something
- 32:34crazy like that. Um, and a lot of the
- 32:36other space, I think Firefly is one.
- 32:38ASTS is one, Rocket Lab is one. Um, I
- 32:42agree with you, they are catching those
- 32:43those tail ones, but Rocket Lab is it's
- 32:45like far and away the the best um one. I
- 32:48think like they're the second biggest
- 32:49for sure.
- 32:51>> How do you how do you think SpaceX is
- 32:52going to trade once once it comes out? I
- 32:54think it's going to be like a uh the the
- 32:57Pudgy Penguins situation where that [ __ ]
- 33:00gets like a spike, comes down, and then
- 33:03slowly comes right back on up.
- 33:05>> Yeah. I I don't I would be amazed if it
- 33:08launches around two two trillion and
- 33:10doesn't go down, and then consolidate.
- 33:12Like, if it just goes straight to F. I
- 33:13would be I'll be [ __ ] amazed if it
- 33:15just goes straight to five. Um
- 33:17especially because with space and a lot
- 33:19of what SpaceX is trying to do, it's not
- 33:22like an immediate thing. like they're
- 33:23not going to have immediate impact as
- 33:25soon as they IPO. I don't think so. I I
- 33:27think it's going to be like a slower a
- 33:29slower play. I think if SpaceX IPOs,
- 33:31anthropic IPOs, Open AI IPOs, that's got
- 33:35to put in some kind of local top for
- 33:36Marcus. It has to.
- 33:38>> It's just too much money.
- 33:39>> So, you got to short the IPO.
- 33:42>> I don't know if I'll I don't know if
- 33:43I'll short.
- 33:44>> Yeah, I wouldn't
- 33:46>> I don't know.
- 33:46>> I wouldn't short that.
- 33:48>> Yeah, it's tricky. That
- 33:49>> I would just I would just say sit on
- 33:51your hands and wait. and see if it gives
- 33:53you like if and see if it goes lower.
- 33:56>> Yeah. The thing with Elon companies is
- 33:58like they they trade off attention a lot
- 34:01like they trade off momentum a lot. Like
- 34:03Tesla, that company did well a lot of
- 34:07like for a lot of the reason before they
- 34:09were actually like selling a lot of cars
- 34:10and doing well like revenue-wise. They
- 34:12did well because of the narrative around
- 34:13EVs and the narrative around the company
- 34:15and Elon doing such a good job of
- 34:17selling them and shilling that. Like so
- 34:19his companies are are tricky because
- 34:21he's such a good marketer of all the
- 34:23stuff that he he works in and he has a
- 34:25really good story and thesis for
- 34:26combining them all together. Like the
- 34:28buy of of Twitter converting that to X
- 34:30is huge I think huge for um his
- 34:34positioning. He's super smart in that
- 34:35way before a lot of other people um can
- 34:37be.
- 34:39>> Do you hold any crypto currently TGR?
- 34:42>> Um all just stables right now. Um, and
- 34:46you know what? I like
- 34:49I got out of all my Bitcoin. I took a
- 34:51loss. Um, I was buying a bunch as it
- 34:55came down to like a 100,000 and as it
- 34:58got into 90.
- 34:59>> You were [ __ ] slamming it, too,
- 35:01right?
- 35:01>> Yeah.
- 35:02>> Talking about the figures.
- 35:04>> Um, I mean, bro, I put in close to like
- 35:091.5 mil. Um,
- 35:14>> bro, like yeah, a lot. Um, but like,
- 35:20yes, I mean, obviously that's that's
- 35:23going to hurt, you know? I'm going to
- 35:25lose six figures on it, but I would
- 35:27rather take I would rather take that
- 35:29loss and allocate that money elsewhere.
- 35:33>> Um, I just
- 35:35>> I remember where I'm at, man. It's not
- 35:38the same, bro. It's just
- 35:39>> I thought it was a good spot. like the
- 35:40where you were buying Bitcoin at. If
- 35:42this was like how crypto traded in 2017,
- 35:45you would have been up like 50% in like
- 35:47a few months.
- 35:47>> I was ready to [ __ ] on everybody.
- 35:49Everyone was talking [ __ ] and I was
- 35:50like, "Oh my gosh, I can't wait for this
- 35:52[ __ ] to go." And then it just didn't.
- 35:53And now I'm like, "Okay, I can't say
- 35:55anything."
- 35:56>> What was the main contributing factor to
- 35:58you making that move to you to you?
- 36:01>> Um,
- 36:03>> slamming 1.5 M into in Bitcoin. Why?
- 36:06>> Well, it was you had to sum it up to one
- 36:08thing. It was dollar cost or it wasn't
- 36:10really like dollar cost average but it
- 36:11was as it kept going down I just kept
- 36:13putting more and more in.
- 36:14>> I saw I remember the tweets and I
- 36:15remember you posting like live posting
- 36:18>> um
- 36:20to be honest I just I I saw those prices
- 36:23and I I thought that we were due for
- 36:26another leg up. Um I also thought that
- 36:30you know even if I were to get in here I
- 36:32can survive the draw down. And then
- 36:35really right around that time was when
- 36:38crypto just kind of fell off a cliff and
- 36:40like stocks just took over. And that's
- 36:44when I was like, "Ah, man. I uh top
- 36:47ticked top ticked longs here."
- 36:50>> I've top ticked a lot of things, bro.
- 36:51It's It's fun. I top ticked a lot of
- 36:53[ __ ] So, you still you still kind of
- 36:54feeling the same way? Sit on your hands,
- 36:56crypto. Ignore it. Focus on what you
- 36:58>> Yeah, I' I've got a bunch of money in in
- 37:00stables right now. And I mean I funny
- 37:03enough I've just been buying um like
- 37:07stupid [ __ ] like just watches. Um and
- 37:09I'm actually up a lot on the watches
- 37:11that I've bought. I'm up o over six
- 37:14figures. So I I've actually made back
- 37:15the money that I lost or made back the
- 37:18majority of the money that I lost um
- 37:20from the Bitcoin from just buying
- 37:23watches with
- 37:24>> my uh watches stable.
- 37:27>> Uh like Richard Mills. Uh, so yeah, I
- 37:30got two 6702s. Those have been going up
- 37:33a lot.
- 37:34>> 6701, baby.
- 37:36>> There you go. We're matching.
- 37:38>> They're the best.
- 37:38>> Um, and then I got this uh white ceramic
- 37:42AP that has gone up uh around like 50 to
- 37:48$70,000. The 6702s are the ones that
- 37:50have gone up a significant amount. Um,
- 37:53>> I think it's RM's best watch. I
- 37:55personally like the 6701 better because
- 37:57it just suits more of my [ __ ] But you
- 38:00>> 702 is like the [ __ ] kind of the holy
- 38:02grail for someone like you, I would say.
- 38:05>> Um Z, do you buy watches? Do you wear
- 38:07watches?
- 38:08>> Bro, I don't buy watches. I don't buy
- 38:09jewelry. I don't do none of that [ __ ] I
- 38:10don't have any tattoos. None of it.
- 38:13>> Tattoo.
- 38:14>> What are you trying to say, bro?
- 38:17>> Bro, [ __ ] have a lot of tattoos.
- 38:19>> I'll say I'll say jewelry. It goes
- 38:20together.
- 38:21>> I'll say jewelry. I'll say I'll I'll
- 38:22I'll agree. I'll concede. tattoos
- 38:24[ __ ] for sure.
- 38:26>> I mean, I don't think I think they're
- 38:27[ __ ] I just don't [ __ ] with them. I
- 38:28just
- 38:29>> two most jewelry [ __ ] Well, there's
- 38:30no like It just doesn't It's a sickness.
- 38:32I'm sick. TJR is sick. We're degenerate.
- 38:35We're [ __ ] we're scum slime to our
- 38:38[ __ ] core, right? Um, but watches
- 38:41though, there's something to watches,
- 38:42bro. There's something to like like like
- 38:44to be said in terms of trading watches.
- 38:46It's honestly fun. Like it's like a I
- 38:48know you weren't really into NFTTS
- 38:49either, so I I guess that part of your
- 38:51brain is just like turned off.
- 38:53>> I mean, bro, I would rather I would
- 38:56rather have
- 38:57>> I could just see like a nice aquinaut.
- 39:00Like you you just scream like
- 39:03>> aquat quiet luxury like like a PC.
- 39:06>> Get an FPJ, bro.
- 39:08>> I've heard of I've heard of that brand.
- 39:10That's like the more uh
- 39:12>> buy a watch, bro. Buy one watch. buying
- 39:15nice. You know, you know who would love
- 39:16to, you know who would love to go
- 39:18shopping for a watch for you? Your girl.
- 39:20And she knows your [ __ ]
- 39:20>> sweat. She tries to get me to. I just
- 39:22got her I got her some [ __ ] But I She
- 39:24tries to get me to uh You know what my
- 39:26take You know what my take on jewelry
- 39:27is?
- 39:29>> I think jewelry is for women. That's my
- 39:30take.
- 39:31>> All right, bro. It's okay. Nah, me and
- 39:34Banks are on the more feminine side.
- 39:35It's cool, bro. It's okay.
- 39:38>> Yeah, dude. That's
- 39:39>> But watch it. No, no. See, see, I
- 39:41actually agree. I tend to agree. I don't
- 39:43wear any jewelry either. I used to wear
- 39:46piercings in my ears. I've kind of
- 39:47abandoned all that. I'll say when I see
- 39:50a girl like I I'll I'll meet girls in LA
- 39:52and the archetype is like rich family or
- 39:56a hooker. Like a right hooker carrying
- 39:59the Birkin done up pretty [ __ ] with
- 40:02like a with if she's wearing a watch
- 40:04it's like 16 Cardier bracelets, 16 Van
- 40:07Clee bracelets. And if a girl has a
- 40:10watch on, that's where you that's where
- 40:11I draw the line. I don't think women
- 40:13look good in watches. I think watches
- 40:15are masculine. Yeah, watches are watches
- 40:17are a guy thing, bro.
- 40:18>> That make that's fair.
- 40:19>> Even just look at how they're designed.
- 40:20Like like like how many Rolexes would
- 40:22look good on a on a woman versus a man,
- 40:24you know? It's like time pieces and cars
- 40:27I feel like are are guy things.
- 40:30>> Yeah.
- 40:30>> Yeah. And they also only attract dudes.
- 40:32Like no girl,
- 40:35>> oh my god.
- 40:37>> And if she does, head for the [ __ ]
- 40:39hills cuz that [ __ ] is a [ __ ]
- 40:41hookie. Exactly. If she knows what a
- 40:43Richard Mill is, you got to run, bro.
- 40:45>> Facts. Facts.
- 40:46>> Yeah. It seems like I mean I do
- 40:47understand watches. Watches make sense
- 40:49because it's kind of like a status
- 40:51symbol for people. Like there's no
- 40:53there's like really easy way if you're
- 40:54in a room with like some important
- 40:55people, important businessman, you have
- 40:57a nice watch on. It's like, oh, what's
- 40:58your like I understand those
- 40:59conversations. That makes sense to me.
- 41:01It seems
- 41:01>> it's a cool way to display taste as
- 41:03well. you know, like it's like it's
- 41:04there aren't many things that you can
- 41:06like invest in or
- 41:07>> you know, like articulate status and
- 41:11like it goes one layer deeper. It's
- 41:12like, oh, this [ __ ] guy knows like,
- 41:14you know, you know,
- 41:14>> like for for me, the way I think about
- 41:16it, would I rather have $300,000 that
- 41:19I'm not using sitting in my bank account
- 41:21or just put it on my wrist? I would
- 41:23rather just put it on my wrist because
- 41:25at least I can wear it um and at least
- 41:27it looks cool to me. And then I'm
- 41:29completely going to sell these things
- 41:31once I'm ready to get get into the
- 41:33market. But at least right now, at least
- 41:36on the crypto side of things, I don't
- 41:38see nothing that speaking to attention
- 41:40and watches, I don't see nothing.
- 41:43>> Speaking to attention watches, did you
- 41:45see the AP thing? The AP swatch thing?
- 41:46It was [ __ ] everywhere. You obviously
- 41:47saw it.
- 41:48>> Yes. Yeah.
- 41:48>> Yeah. Absolutely everywhere.
- 41:51>> Did it happen?
- 41:52>> It went super viral. No, but I think
- 41:53they um I think they dropped the uh
- 41:56We're not
- 41:57>> Yeah, it's like it's a pocket watch.
- 41:59It's It dangles from like a keychain. It
- 42:00looks like a air tag. It's It's like an
- 42:03air tag. Um
- 42:04>> we'll watch this.
- 42:06This is it, right?
- 42:08>> Yeah, I think
- 42:14>> that one's hard, bro. That [ __ ] is not
- 42:17hard, bro. H I That's the type of [ __ ]
- 42:21that you're going to see like these
- 42:23ancient
- 42:24>> this [ __ ] is ugly. That this [ __ ] is
- 42:26This Arizona iced tea ass watch is
- 42:28[ __ ] hideous.
- 42:29>> This is Bro, you're about to see high
- 42:30schoolers rock rocking these shits, bro.
- 42:32>> That shit's going to be hanging from a
- 42:33keychain. I'm going TO BUY LIKE 10 OF
- 42:35THEM by way. That's why it's genius. I
- 42:38saw people [ __ ] all over this. I saw
- 42:40[ __ ] people and I think it's a really
- 42:41[ __ ] take to be like, I'm selling my
- 42:43AP because now the barrier to entry yada
- 42:45yada. We've seen this and most of the
- 42:48time when it's done the right way. I
- 42:49don't know if this is done the right or
- 42:50the wrong way. I think them not making a
- 42:52wristwatch is the move. Um that keeps
- 42:54like that in its own separate class, but
- 42:56like we saw Off-White and Nike do a
- 42:59collab to great success. We saw Louis
- 43:01Vuitton and Supreme do a collab to great
- 43:03success. These are brands that are on
- 43:05significantly different levels. um you
- 43:08know and they they traded they they they
- 43:09they they delivered a product for
- 43:12somebody that was outside of their you
- 43:13know typical like ecosystem and and
- 43:15outside of their typical customer to
- 43:17great success. Like these are some of
- 43:18the more um success like Porsche did a
- 43:21Lego collab before and like the
- 43:23psychology of that it makes sense. It's
- 43:24like and I'm sure the Porsche Lego
- 43:26collab trades very well past you know
- 43:29what whatever it was released for retail
- 43:30but like you put a [ __ ] Porsche Lego
- 43:33in front of like a 12-year-old kid and
- 43:35he loves it and he's obsessed with it.
- 43:36the rest of his life he wants the real
- 43:37thing.
- 43:38>> That's true.
- 43:38>> You know, I can see that.
- 43:39>> I feel like I feel like that's kind of
- 43:41along the lines. I don't think it's a
- 43:42bad thing. I think if like now there's a
- 43:44[ __ ] real like like it's a realistic
- 43:46goal for some kid in high school to go
- 43:48buy a [ __ ] $1,500 AP and throw that
- 43:51[ __ ] on his backpack and it doesn't mean
- 43:53[ __ ] to us because we're millionaires,
- 43:54right? And we're [ __ ] adults. But
- 43:56like for him it's like holy [ __ ] And
- 43:58now in his mind he's like I got to work
- 44:00my ass off for the next 10 years so I
- 44:01can go buy the real thing. I don't know.
- 44:04>> Yeah. Yeah,
- 44:04>> I think it's genius level marketing.
- 44:06Also, the entire episode the the entire
- 44:09episode's been about attention. That was
- 44:10one of the biggest things that happened
- 44:11on the timeline this whole [ __ ] year,
- 44:14which I can't believe that. Like,
- 44:16>> that's crazy.
- 44:17>> Yeah.
- 44:18>> Um my my question I have a question for
- 44:21you guys and um so obviously you guys
- 44:24have have this show which is great. Um,
- 44:27I think streaming is the best form of
- 44:29content because you can break it down
- 44:31into a long form YouTube video and then
- 44:33also into short form clips. How are you
- 44:35guys prioritizing like the marketing and
- 44:37trying to just mass push this out to as
- 44:40many people as possible?
- 44:42>> We're starting to have more
- 44:43conversations about that. Obviously, I
- 44:44know more than the average bear about
- 44:46like clipping and distributing content.
- 44:48That's like my my whole [ __ ] lane.
- 44:49That's I feel like where I'm actually
- 44:51pulling my weight in the show and kind
- 44:52of building up this IP. To tell you the
- 44:54truth, the first several episodes,
- 44:56obviously we're only on episode three.
- 44:58So, like I'm kind of rolling off the
- 45:00couch in the regards of like being on
- 45:01content actively. I feel like I'm a
- 45:03natural for it. Um, and again, I'm like
- 45:05I'm walking the walk. Like we preach
- 45:07make money, command attention, AI
- 45:08literacy. And like I haven't taken a a
- 45:11serious swing at making any sort of
- 45:13meaningful content or creating any sort
- 45:15of content IP or consistently doing
- 45:17anything in content for myself as banks
- 45:20in [ __ ] like seven years. And I'm
- 45:22doing it now, you know? And I'm doing
- 45:23it, you know, at a lower point in like
- 45:26my career in terms of general narrative
- 45:27and sentiment. And I'm doing it for like
- 45:29a niche, a very small niche audience,
- 45:31right? Like this show is definitely not
- 45:32for everybody. And the barrier to entry
- 45:34and the filter is going to be for every
- 45:36[ __ ] thousand people that click on
- 45:38this stream or or or tune into this
- 45:40show, I expect, you know, 10 to stick
- 45:42around maybe. Um, so just establishing
- 45:45that, like building rapport with Z. Z's
- 45:47never done content like this in his
- 45:48life, right? He's done a couple of
- 45:49streams, but like this type of format,
- 45:52I've been pilling this [ __ ] on
- 45:53doing content since I met him. I've been
- 45:56singing I've been singing from the
- 45:57rooftop like, "Yo, more of you guys need
- 45:59to make [ __ ] videos and thread guy,
- 46:01why the [ __ ] are you in Twitter spaces,
- 46:03bro? Get your ass on Twitch." And now
- 46:04he's on Twitch, right? Years later. And
- 46:06I was, you know, like it was looked at
- 46:08and perceived and I feel like I was
- 46:10misunderstood in a lot of areas. Like
- 46:11when when I did the Haley Welch podcast,
- 46:13really all I'm thinking is like somebody
- 46:16needs to [ __ ] you know, do do this.
- 46:18Like somebody needs to make make the
- 46:20content. Like I always have these
- 46:21visions of like passing it off to Thread
- 46:23or so and so or whatever. And that's why
- 46:25that was one of our earlier
- 46:26conversations. TJR, you were in our
- 46:27crib. I came out to the living room, you
- 46:29were there, and we sat and talked about
- 46:31this subject for forever. I think like I
- 46:35don't know. I just think there's a huge
- 46:36demand again for like playing the game
- 46:39in, you know, this meta like like 2026,
- 46:42what content looks like, what the
- 46:43overwhelming demand. You talked about
- 46:45it, you spoke about it right when you
- 46:46came on the show, like packaging it and
- 46:48presenting it in a palpable way to the
- 46:50average [ __ ] viewer and and like
- 46:52giving your I don't know. That's
- 46:54>> Yeah, I think I think I I would like to
- 46:57say I think you had like a slight
- 46:58limiting belief there where you said,
- 47:00you know, maybe this stream isn't for
- 47:02everybody. I think that this stream can
- 47:03be for everybody. Um,
- 47:05>> that's the goal. That's the goal is to
- 47:07appeal appeal to as many people as
- 47:08possible. Me to play the, you know, the
- 47:10layman. And I can like I can hang in
- 47:12conversations about markets and trading
- 47:14and things like that, but Z will go on a
- 47:16[ __ ] fiveminute monologue on some
- 47:18[ __ ] big brain 200 IQ [ __ ] and I'll
- 47:20have to pause and be like, wait, what's
- 47:22inference? You know, and I feel like
- 47:23that's valuable to the average user,
- 47:26whereas like Z's typically Z's used to
- 47:28talking to [ __ ] people who know all
- 47:30this [ __ ] words on a screen, Twitter,
- 47:32you know what I mean? It's a it's a much
- 47:34different,
- 47:34>> you know, it's a to rather than [ __ ]
- 47:37>> Yeah.
- 47:39>> Yeah. My my driver I've like I've always
- 47:41been a solo operator to be honest. Like
- 47:43my entire life, high school, college, I
- 47:45was like the kid who was a nerd. Um I
- 47:48played sports growing up. I was like
- 47:49good at sports, but I wasn't really that
- 47:51active on like the social side until
- 47:53college and after college. Um so I was
- 47:56never trying
- 47:56>> of nature 66. I I hope you
- 47:59>> Yeah. You know what's funny, bro? I was
- 48:01I was like 6 I was 62 160 senior year of
- 48:05high school and then I [ __ ] 6 feet
- 48:07>> shot up in in college, bro.
- 48:09>> Same. I was a late bloomer, too. That's
- 48:10crazy.
- 48:11>> Wow. So, we're all just enormous in this
- 48:14>> We're at least 667.
- 48:16>> You said it on me. You said it on me.
- 48:18Wait, how tall are you? We're the same
- 48:19height.
- 48:20>> Yeah. Yeah. Same height. Like 65.
- 48:22>> 6'5. Yeah. And Z's 66. Have you guys
- 48:24never met?
- 48:24>> I don't.
- 48:25>> No, not in person. Not in person.
- 48:26>> Well, you guys got a link. That's crazy.
- 48:28>> Yeah, we do got a link. But yeah, my uh
- 48:30my thoughts around content is like I
- 48:32never really planned for my account to
- 48:34blow up. I was just sharing the
- 48:35information as I was researching, as I
- 48:36was trading. I got a lot of followers
- 48:38because people were tailing a lot of the
- 48:40trades I was talking about like, "Yo,
- 48:41this dude knows what he's talking
- 48:42about." So, I got amplified in that way.
- 48:43And now once I have the platform, I'm
- 48:46like, "Okay, it makes sense to at least
- 48:48do something with it." I've always been
- 48:49super lazy on content to be honest.
- 48:51Like, I tweet. It's easy to just shoot
- 48:53out tweets as I as it comes to me. Easy
- 48:54just put out information or trades that
- 48:56I'm taking. Um, but it takes a lot more
- 48:58effort to do streaming, to like prepare
- 49:00for shows, to like write long form
- 49:02stuff. So, what I want to do like with
- 49:05the platform that I have is teach people
- 49:07one, how to be better traders, how to
- 49:09learn how to trade, and then two, like
- 49:11how to prepare themselves for what's
- 49:14coming in the future. Cuz I was lucky in
- 49:16that I caught crypto early in 2017. Um,
- 49:19I learned about in 2016 and started
- 49:21buying in 2017. I feel like AI is in a
- 49:23very similar spot to crypto in 2017
- 49:26right now. Like, yeah, it just popped
- 49:28off in 2022, but the way that it's
- 49:31accelerating and how fast all the models
- 49:33and how much the models are getting
- 49:34faster and better and easier for people
- 49:37to use and actually like implement at
- 49:39their companies and in their
- 49:40professional lives, you want to be
- 49:41prepared for that. Um, and so like my
- 49:43whole thing with this show is like those
- 49:45those two areas to be like help people
- 49:47in that So, so right now high high
- 49:50school kid that just got out of high
- 49:51school and he says, "Man, [ __ ] college.
- 49:53I don't want to do this with my life and
- 49:55I just I just heard this from you." What
- 49:57is some something that that person can
- 49:59be doing actively right now to actually
- 50:02take advantage of this new wave of AI
- 50:04like how you did with crypto?
- 50:07>> Yeah, I would say that the first thing
- 50:08is to just get familiar with using AI
- 50:11every day. Um, I think that there are a
- 50:15ton of opportunities that are going to
- 50:17pop up for
- 50:20like businesses who haven't optimized
- 50:22their workflows. I think they're going
- 50:24to be able to use AI to make them a lot
- 50:26more efficient. But the thing is, a lot
- 50:28of these businesses are going to be uh
- 50:30run by like older people who aren't at
- 50:32the forefront of this technology. So, if
- 50:33you're a younger kid um who is getting
- 50:35used to using AI, um you're going to be
- 50:38you're essentially like the first people
- 50:40who were using the internet. Um so you
- 50:42want to think about it in that way. I
- 50:44think also with trading it's like even
- 50:45if you don't have a job that's directly
- 50:48benefiting from AI knowing um how to in
- 50:51learning how to invest your capital and
- 50:52learning how to invest your money. I
- 50:54think in the future trading is going to
- 50:55be one of the most popular professions
- 50:57actually like I think everybody is going
- 51:00to be some kind of a trader because AI
- 51:02is going to change what the workforce
- 51:04looks like so substantially. Um, and a
- 51:06lot of the ways for people to leaprog
- 51:09like wealth tiers is going to be
- 51:10investing in like the companies that do
- 51:12really well. Um,
- 51:13>> but Chris Camil was talking about
- 51:14democratizing trading, right?
- 51:16>> It's it's it's definitely going to be a
- 51:18thing. Um, yeah. I I don't know exactly
- 51:20what areas I would say to focus on
- 51:22business-wise. Um, I know you're on [ __ ]
- 51:25You're on [ __ ] right?
- 51:26>> Yeah. I I think [ __ ] is like honestly one
- 51:29of the like companies that's going to do
- 51:32really well over the next few years
- 51:33because what [ __ ] does um [ __ ] enables
- 51:36entrepreneurs to sell what their
- 51:37expertise is directly on their platform
- 51:39no matter what it is. So if you're
- 51:40expert in trading, if you're expert in
- 51:42cooking, if you're an expert in
- 51:43gardening, if you're an expert in
- 51:44whatever it is, they allow you to
- 51:46package your content and sell it to
- 51:48people um and engage with your community
- 51:51in that way. So I think we've talked
- 51:53about attention a lot. We've talked
- 51:54about AI a lot. Like if you have no
- 51:57other skills, if you are able to get
- 52:00good on social media garnering attention
- 52:02and then figure out something that you
- 52:04can become an expert in and use AI to
- 52:06help yourself become an expert in that,
- 52:07you can literally can combine those two
- 52:09things to build your own business,
- 52:10whatever it is.
- 52:11>> I agree with everything that you just
- 52:13said. I'll even take it a step further
- 52:14and just kind of kind of um tail that
- 52:17and say if you're truly starting at zero
- 52:20clean foundation and you're not good at
- 52:22anything or you have no skills, just
- 52:24focus on something you're obsessed with
- 52:26or just genuinely interested in because
- 52:28again like Z said, this is the internet
- 52:30happening all over again. So the odds
- 52:32are there is an opportunity for you to
- 52:33pair
- 52:34>> an interest that you have. First of all,
- 52:36you're going to just retain information
- 52:37about this, learn it at a quicker rate,
- 52:39and just naturally get better at
- 52:41something you're overly obsessed with,
- 52:42obviously, right? You pair that with AI
- 52:44and you're spending six hours a day
- 52:46understanding and learning how to use AI
- 52:48and how to apply that to existing, you
- 52:50know, business um and markets. Like,
- 52:52that's that's where I would be if I was
- 52:54graduating high school. Definitely
- 52:55wouldn't be going to college. I think
- 52:56that's the first, you know, big brain
- 52:58step out. I think the most dangerous
- 53:00piece though where a lot of like young
- 53:02people I think are getting stuck in like
- 53:04the glue trap is the attention piece
- 53:06because this is what's like this is
- 53:09what's keeping the youth connected today
- 53:11is Twitter and clips and that culture
- 53:13like internet culture and a lot of it is
- 53:15[ __ ] absolute garbage. Like it's
- 53:17absolute trash and it's designed to just
- 53:19keep you on it's designed to keep you
- 53:21away from each other. And it's it's
- 53:23designed to keep you on your [ __ ]
- 53:24phone doom scrolling and and consuming
- 53:26[ __ ] fast food brain rot shitty
- 53:29content. I think being intentional with
- 53:30what you're watching is really important
- 53:33and being mindful of that and holding
- 53:34yourself accountable and just being
- 53:36healthy, you know, mentally healthy. Um
- 53:38and being aware. I like the uh we've
- 53:41talked a little bit about like searching
- 53:42versus scrolling.
- 53:44>> Yeah.
- 53:44>> Be a searcher. Don't be a scroller. You
- 53:46know, if you find yourself kind of
- 53:47mindlessly scrolling [ __ ] and you're w
- 53:49and you get to the area of the internet
- 53:50where you're watching [ __ ] you know,
- 53:52strawberries gang banging a banana, it's
- 53:54like, all right, maybe close the app,
- 53:56take a deep breath.
- 53:56>> So, you saw that same video. You saw
- 53:59that same [ __ ] bro. Cuz I seen that
- 54:01one. I seen it.
- 54:03>> Go for a walk. But yeah, essentially
- 54:04what we're saying essentially what we're
- 54:05saying is is again what the entire show
- 54:07is about, and that's money, attention,
- 54:10and AI. Um, obviously the through line
- 54:12and the foundation, the most important
- 54:14thing above all else is just your
- 54:16health. I think being dialed physically
- 54:18healthy. We have more resources today to
- 54:21keep yourself dialed [ __ ] you know,
- 54:23peptides and GLP1s and all this [ __ ]
- 54:25crazy information. And, you know, it's
- 54:27it's easier to eat healthy and be
- 54:29healthy healthier than ever, keeping
- 54:31your mind right. Um, ultimately, invest
- 54:34in yourself. It's the tagline of the
- 54:35whole show. It's the whole [ __ ] idea.
- 54:37It's the whole point of the show. Invest
- 54:38in yourself. I think there's a lot of
- 54:40noise happening. I don't know. I've kind
- 54:42of always run my own life in in a manner
- 54:44where I just feel like the average
- 54:46person is broke, [ __ ] and unhappy.
- 54:52So, if you just like I know I'm
- 54:54oversimplifying it, but if you just do
- 54:55the opposite of what most people are
- 54:57doing, again, most people broke,
- 54:59[ __ ] unhappy. So, you do the
- 55:01opposite and you wind up rich, looking
- 55:05at least maybe smart and happy, you
- 55:09know, like I don't know. Um, it's kind
- 55:11of the gist. I know I'm oversimplifying
- 55:13it. That's [ __ ] left curve [ __ ]
- 55:15statement, whatever. But,
- 55:17>> no, I think that's true. I think a lot
- 55:19of people if their life sucks right now,
- 55:21you know, it's very like the the
- 55:24solution to every question is just by
- 55:25flipping the qu question upside down.
- 55:27You know, just do a complete 180. If
- 55:29your life sucks right now, do the
- 55:30opposite of what you're doing right now.
- 55:31And odds are you'll probably end up
- 55:33enjoying what you're doing a lot more
- 55:34and you'll probably find some success.
- 55:36>> Amen, brother. And again, for what it's
- 55:38worth, I think that while it's scary
- 55:41times and it's a very scary spot to be
- 55:44in, you know, young person, you don't
- 55:47really have access to anything. Your
- 55:48parents aren't rich. Um, it is a little
- 55:51bit of a scary spot, but at the same
- 55:52time, in the same breath, I'll say I
- 55:54don't think there's ever been a time in
- 55:55human history where it's a better time
- 55:57to have nothing to do or to have a clean
- 55:59slate or to just be starting your life.
- 56:01Like,
- 56:02>> most opportunity. For sure,
- 56:03>> bro. You're 18 years old. You're 17, 18
- 56:05years old right now. You are the
- 56:06luckiest person that's ever existed on
- 56:08Earth. And that's just the truth.
- 56:09>> Yeah, for sure.
- 56:11>> In human history. I agree.
- 56:12>> Because what the internet did to to
- 56:14society and culture and business, how it
- 56:16affected every single market. It'd be
- 56:18such a silly thing today to say, "I
- 56:20don't use the internet or I'm opting
- 56:21out. Like, my business doesn't use it."
- 56:22It's like such a [ __ ] thing to say.
- 56:24It's like, and before that it was
- 56:25electricity. I don't use electricity.
- 56:26It's like, "Okay, pal. Like, we'll see
- 56:28you in [ __ ] we'll see you in a few
- 56:29years." It's like the same thing now
- 56:31with AI, but I think I think it's going
- 56:33to, you know,
- 56:36unfathomable the way it's going to
- 56:37change everything, you know?
- 56:39>> Yeah.
- 56:40>> Internet.
- 56:41>> I I have a little conspiracy theory and
- 56:43I want to I want to hear your guys'
- 56:45takes on this. So I have a theory that
- 56:48when we created AI, we essentially
- 56:51created a new species and that species
- 56:55is far more intelligent. And I think
- 56:59eventually once we give because right
- 57:01now it's just in a computer. Once we
- 57:03give this new species limbs and the
- 57:07ability to be able to run all of these
- 57:09businesses like we're like we're trying
- 57:11to do um it's going to quickly realize
- 57:14how useless humans are.
- 57:16>> Have you ever seen this YouTube channel?
- 57:20>> Uh let me sorry I'm on the
- 57:22>> Z. Have you have you seen this? I know
- 57:24I've referenced it a couple times.
- 57:25>> No, I haven't. It's it's literally
- 57:26called species AI news documenting AGI
- 57:29and it has like a show goth as like the
- 57:31the picture and this guy does really
- 57:33like deep articulate like videos on like
- 57:37it begins AI literally attempted murder
- 57:40realistic scenarios for AI takeover AI
- 57:422027. This one's my favorite. Highly
- 57:44suggest this video. MIT explains 12
- 57:46possible endings for AI. And it's
- 57:48essentially
- 57:49>> Hey everybody.
- 57:50>> I did not mean to click that. It's
- 57:51essentially um what you're saying
- 57:53though. Yeah, we did. We we have created
- 57:55a brand new species and it's um
- 57:58>> and it's it's definitely going to
- 58:00supersede us across the board. Again, I
- 58:02think on an unfathomable level again,
- 58:04long-term optimistic like I think that
- 58:06AI over the course of enough time makes
- 58:08everything free, cures cancer, you know,
- 58:12extends human life expectancy to [ __ ]
- 58:14500 years plus, maybe forever. Um the
- 58:18the scary thing is though is like what
- 58:21happens when AI
- 58:24has its own interests, its own biases,
- 58:26and sets its own goals. That's the
- 58:28biggest thing. Like that is the scariest
- 58:30piece because tricky
- 58:31>> we share a planet with a lot of [ __ ]
- 58:33different animals and different species,
- 58:34right? We're the number one when if
- 58:36you're looking at the the the Earth's
- 58:38pyramid. Humans are obviously at the
- 58:39top. And none of us have most of us 99%
- 58:43of people don't have a leaning sparking
- 58:45interest in killing squirrels. But if we
- 58:47want to build a [ __ ] city in the
- 58:48forest, nothing's going to stop us from
- 58:50doing that. That is our goal. And
- 58:52unfortunately, you know, a couple
- 58:54squirrels are going to die in the
- 58:56process. And it's that simple. We don't
- 58:57really think much about that, right?
- 58:59>> Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of scary. That's
- 59:01like if you think out like hundred years
- 59:03or whatever, I I think that is kind of
- 59:05kind of what you can't even prepare for
- 59:07to be honest. Unfathomable.
- 59:09>> I hope I'm in the ground by the time
- 59:11that goes. This is why it's going to
- 59:13happen, bro.
- 59:13>> We're in the cloud. [ __ ] the ground. I
- 59:15want to be in the cloud. This is why
- 59:17Elon hit me live on stream.
- 59:20>> This is why you say thank you to every
- 59:21every uh every time you use chat, you
- 59:23say thank you at the end.
- 59:24>> Sam Alman, I keep begging people to
- 59:26stop. It's costing them millions and
- 59:27millions of dollars. Every time you say
- 59:29I do, too, though. I say thank you
- 59:30please.
- 59:32>> I think one one area we haven't
- 59:33>> I'm not say that. Sorry. I do not say
- 59:36that. I'm the first one to go out of out
- 59:38of us three.
- 59:39>> Tell you I think one area we we haven't
- 59:41really talked about like that we is
- 59:43probably under discussed actually like
- 59:45the bluecollar jobs like electrician,
- 59:48plumbers, all of that I think are
- 59:49actually going to be super important and
- 59:51more important like over the next few
- 59:53years. like people kind of be have a
- 59:55negative I think perception of some of
- 59:57these like blueco collar jobs but
- 59:59actually going to be super um super
- 1:00:00important and are also going to be a lot
- 1:00:02harder to replace than a lot of the like
- 1:00:04white collar software stuff. So that's
- 1:00:06really um an interesting area also I
- 1:00:08think.
- 1:00:08>> Yeah. Those are the first to go
- 1:00:09obviously, right? The accountants, the
