Gary Vee Explains How To Get Rich Online, NFTs Return, AI Secrets & Africa’s Biggest Opportunities

37:49We're gonna live digital, which means our physical stuff is gonna decrease in value because we're gonna live more. like the way we live in our phones now, VR and AR are coming. People, bro, I went deep on AI in 2015, but it was so over my head and it was so not ready. After about a month or two, I was like, okay, right? I bought Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2014, 15, but it didn't really get cooking for another five years. Everyone shits on the Apple and the Snapchat and the Facebook. and then just like AI and the blockchain, y 'all are going to wake up, I'm going to wake up, and it's just going to be here.

38:30And everyone's going to be like, where the fuck did this come from? The last 20 years? And then we're going to be living like this, and now let me ask you a real fucking fire question. What the fuck happens when this is no longer the fucking game? And this becomes the game. Now what? I was in China, and they have it here to a lesser very lesser degree but it's is widespread in china where you pay for stuff just based off your eyeballs 100 so it's like passport your credit card all the information is either your fingertips your eyeballs so it's a it's a world we don't need any we don't need any digital device because all the digital devices actually on us look i think it will get to that is validation and confirmation you know kind of like apple pay i'm talking about the three of us living the back half of our lives where literally it'll start with glasses long term i do think it will be contact lenses but i'm talking about while we're in this room we see other shit

39:36yeah like uh microsoft had what was the microsoft um they had the the headset where you we did that a few years ago i mean i can't i can't i can't talk about it fully because i'm under some nda but i tested a facebook product that's coming out in the future that shook me heavy and not like and not like clunky like i'll do i'll use video game terms that will hit for you guys not atari like the latest playstation yeah like those graphic differences it's and we talk about this i'm glad you said that because i'm looking at even like your microphone now yeah That's the agentic AI. Like, it won't be the phone.

40:20It'll be something that'll shoot your hair, and that's the dial pad, and that's your agent, and it tells you where to go. Your refrigerator's reordering your food for you. Like, your body knows that you're low on sugar, and fucking the shit just shit, like a fucking mango. Ernest, what's up? You ever walk into a small business and everything just works?

41:41This episode is brought to you by PNC Bank. A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be. But understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, day after day. It's like banking with PNC Bank. It might seem boring to save, plan, and make calculated decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life. PNC Bank, brilliantly boring since 1865. Brilliantly Boring Since 1865 is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. PNC Bank, National Association, member FDIC.

42:22An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child in Massachusetts. An MS-13 gang member from El Salvador accused of murdering a Texas man. A Venezuelan charged with filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded. And over 100 ,000 illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, you're next. You will be fined nearly$1 ,000 a day, imprisoned and deported.

43:05You will never return. But if you register using our CBP Home app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, border, and families will be protected. Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. It shows up on your fucking front of you. Like on some real shit. Like I do not believe that people, I, let me, this is actually a good sentence. for some goddamn reason we as human beings think technology stops when we're alive that's almost like the matrix though right because in the movie the matrix we were all everybody was in like the generator thing whatever and you just so it's like okay if you are tired at work you don't necessarily need to get a plane ticket to go to aruba you can just plug in and be on a beach right and just sit on the couch and just have that stimulation and the previews are in our faces that's that's where i was going because i don't even think you need to plug in i think if you watch star wars i think this doesn't stop so it's like i teleport and and by the way let me see this in less of a projecting the fuck do you think zoom backgrounds are yeah it's like you see what i mean that's what i'm saying it's like you're seeing the previews already dr same thing when people i talk a lot about like people marrying robots in the future and everyone gets all fucked up like right now i'm sure the comments are come on but i'm like yo when you're dming with someone in dating apps before you meet in person people catch feelings on those words you have no idea who it is like shit changes like if if you're great great great grandma if there was new technology we could like rebirth people you put some liquid on their grave and they come out and they're like what's up if that existed all of us would go do that because we want to meet right that'd be nice we you go to your great great great grandma not that long ago she was here 100 years ago and you put that liquid on she pops up granny's be like what the fuck happened like like if you died 100 years ago no car no plane fucking internet like a credit card what the fuck is that like like i don't think people understand how much happens in 10 years yeah yeah so why the fuck is it going to stop now in fact it's the reverse now that we have all this infrastructure it accelerates at a faster speed correct but also ebbs and flows like throughout human history technology has always advanced and there's been dark ages and it's advanced and it's been dark ages yeah so we could potentially form into another dark age where we maybe the technology gets so far advanced that it kind of works against us and we actually start going back to traditional ways it sounds like judgment by the way i think that's happening already in a little bit of a way but i don't think it is a dark age i think it's a balanced age meaning you're starting to see gen alpha and young gen zers really unplugged for real like the three of us are fucking 24 7 because we grew up unplugged right motherfucking i'm 49 i didn't even have the internet before i went to college i lived my whole ass childhood with no internet did not go on the internet until i was 18 so i lived unplugged these kids lived the reverse they've been plugged from the get two years old watching fucking coco melon ipad so they're the first generation to be like let's go fucking take a walk like i'm looking i invested in the pickleball league i'm looking at alternative sports i'll give you one that i'm obsessed with wiffle ball love it like i could see people just getting back into like i said something the other day that a lot of people hit me up about i said i see a business in the future where people get paid to walk with other people on some human connection shit like literally on your facebook people are just like yo i get paid 20 bucks an hour to walk with you and chat it up, I think you would cook.

47:10Like a dog walker. I literally believe every human that makes under$20 an hour that's watching right now needs to hear me. And even if they don't have a Facebook account, create a Facebook account and then run$10 of ads,$10 on a video saying, yo, I live in Topeka, Kansas, and I live on this area and I'll walk with anybody. I'll walk with you and talk and communicate and chop it up with anybody in this 10 mile radius and run ads,$10 in Facebook ads on that 10 mile radius. I think they build a straight up business. People are lonely. It's true. There's a 68 year old man or woman that sees that video of a 28 year old saying that who unfortunately just lost their spouse and they're lonely.

47:55And they're like, fuck it. I'll pay 20 bucks to walk with somebody for an hour. Like there's, that's what I mean. Like shit just changes whereas if I said in 1990 people are going to get paid to walk with people people get the fuck out of here Gary on that dumb shit but let me give you one that will if everyone's confused by what I'm saying let me give you a different one if you told people in 1965 that motherfuckers would pay for water can I have that water bottle yeah that one right there just I'm doing a prop on this episode you can throw it I catch

48:32if I was an entrepreneur in 1960 and said people are gonna pay three bucks for water everybody would have laughed their asses off shit was free it was in the fucking sink

48:45free this shit's free except for the eight now this is where we're really gonna get into real talk because we were talking about this off camera before we started that shit's free except for the 800 million people on earth that don't have access to clean water that's why my ass is in God a lot. Charity water, you know, like, so like, you know, like shit's interesting out here and people aren't thinking, you know what I feel about the last 20 minutes? I need people to think. People just follow, like they see one thing or their one boy says something like, yeah, you see it in politics, you see it in society, people aren't thinking and they're definitely not thinking for themselves.

49:27You just made me think of today's entrepreneur, right? The person who's trying to get started. Like let's take your media group that you've created, right? You don't have the platform, you don't have the recognition. If you're starting today, like what's the first place you attack? We talked about it for a quick second. The number one thing I would do on earth right now if I'm 15 to 30 and I'm just trying to fucking build something for myself is I would give one solid, meaningful attempt at live social shopping. back to China. Like, I cannot say, I'm saying, I'm glad you're, I need everyone to listen.

50:03Mike, you did it one time the other day. Like, one attempt, literally TikTok shop, but you need a certain amount of followers to get a shop, go live. And then there's a startup called Whatnot. It's big now. You literally create an account. It's QVC on social media. You literally go live and you start selling shit. all the collectibles are going crazy but i see an opportunity for people to sell anything including some garage sale shit my number one belief is that every person that's watching right now that's crying about money if they're in a place where they have an iphone or an android and they're watching this they probably have somewhere between 500 and 2 000 worth of shit in their house because everybody buys dumb shit and they don't use it like literally i'm talking clothes, shit in your attic, your basement, video games you don't play.

50:59I really believe this to my soul. And in 2017, I've made a big platform about this. I called it the 2017 Flip Challenge. And I challenged people to try to make 10 ,000 bucks by selling shit in their house and then learn eBay. Fuck man, every day I get DMs from people, screenshots of their eBay account and their Wells Fargo. Gary, when I saw that video, I had$18 in my Wells Fargo. Two years later, I have$103 ,000 in my eBay account. I think most people, even the most not talented, can learn the basics of buying and flipping shit. And with dollar stores, with thrift stores, with fucking Salvation Army, with fucking garage sales, flea markets, and then you just start getting more and more.

51:43It's kind of like training. Like everybody can actually lose 30 pounds and gain 30 pounds of muscle. Shit's hard. Takes discipline, right? But the three of us could look crazy in two years if we went crazy. None of us are bad, but we can all look at each other and be like, we could be crazy in two years if we ate super proper and really hit, right? And we'd look crazy and people are like, what the fuck? That's how I think about this financial shit. So anyway, live social shopping's gonna explode. Like explode, it will be massive in America and I think everyone who's watching should learn about it.

52:19again go to chat GPT and be like Gary V said live social shopping is going to be huge what does that mean and you'll get all the answers and you can literally talk you don't even need experts anymore and then how do I set up a what not you just talk and I'm telling you that would be the one place I would start first with some shit that's in your house Mike what the fuck did you sell

52:45how much did that pencil case go for that shit was going to be thrown the fuck out by him good old pencil and he needs 27 i'm serious y 'all you know what i mean like so so and by the way i saw some crazy ass that i don't know if it's true or not back to like i didn't do the homework yet but like there was some staggering number of like what percentage of americans don't have three thousand dollars in their bank account oh yeah like you saw 90 yeah you guys know but even in china i was in china and one of the girls that was like my translator actually she was she's a seller online and they do like the 24-hour marathon thing and the amount of money that she was making from that was crazy like she made like like she said her best 48 hours she made like 30 ,000 dollars and I cannot stress enough t-shirts used sneakers hats everything and then what will happen let's say the 50 people that are watching that are actually gonna do this.

53:45Three of them are gonna email me in seven months and be like, yo, saw you on the pod, fucking did it, fucking love you because they're gonna be happy, right? They're gonna be like, problem, I sold all my shit. I'm gonna be like, now go buy new shit and make profit. Oh, you made 8 ,000? Good. Now, go buy$8 ,000 worth of shit and make 16 ,000. That, you start learning a skill. What do you buy? What sells? Where's their demand? how do you sell it but here's a big one you'll like this i think a lot of people that are trying to be alex earl and joe rogan and gary vee like be an influencer you know every like there's not a single person under 20 whose number one goal in life is not to be an influencer i think a lot of those people will never get to be that but of those people i think a shocking percentage call it five to ten percent of those people that will never get to what they want to be millions of followers I think 5 to even 15 % of those people I think can make 6 figures a year selling shit out of their living room yeah and that's a lot more fun than having a job paying you 75k that you fucking hate you said they'll never get there is it because the age of influence is changing?

54:58no supply and demand you're competing against the world and AI at a certain point AI influences let me ask you this as far as okay you somebody that always are looking forward from a global standpoint what markets are you looking at what are you bullish on where do you think there's going to be opportunity what areas like globally we talked about a second before we got on here i've been infatuated in fact i think 2026 maybe early 27 because we're opening up dubai but my vayner world v friends vayner sports definitely VaynerMedia has to start putting flags on the ground in Africa. It's super clear.

55:43The youth, the talent, the fucking firepower. I wish people understood the intellectual firepower of the volume of under 30 year olds that roam at scale, live in all the different countries in Africa. So Africa's gonna win. If you want, again, please learn how to use AI. We just said this. Immediately take off. you know what fuck it let's do some show and tell let's do it not using any biases of any other prompt i've done before i just watched gary v on a podcast talk about africa as the next continent he referenced asia and the middle east in the last 50 years 50 years ago asia started to cook japan then later china and then obviously what's been going on last 25 years in the middle east dubai and then obviously what's going on with saudi if he's right about africa which five or six countries within Africa is he right about and also give me the real data and make sure you're 100 % right on this the real data because he mentioned something about how young the continent is he referenced something that he wasn't sure about but he said something to the degree of by 2035 35 % of everybody under 30 will be living in the continent of Africa can you give me the real stat on that um yeah and any other three or four bullet points that might give validity to why Africa is so fruitful and so vibrant and such a great entrepreneurial and business opportunity.

57:08Also, I've been aware over the last five to 10 years that China has invested heavy into Africa. And I hear from a lot of American outlets, like China owns Africa. Like, what does that mean? Like, I'd love to get a little educated on that and what impact does that have? Yeah, thank you. So a couple things. First, I'm really glad I did that because I think that just opened up a lot of people's mind into AI. because a lot of people are using ai right now like a search engine that's chat gbt uh-huh right a lot of people use ai like it's google like it's google they're like what is a bird you know what i mean you could see what i'm doing that was a full pledge minute 18 prompt i did a 17 minute prompt the other day the 41 i can talk a 41 minute prompt all right here we go under 30 population forecast your recollection that by 2035 35 percent of everyone under 30 will live in africa is in the ballpark while the exact numbers vary by source here's what we know by 2030 young africans typically defined as those under 25 or youth defined as 15 to 24 are projected to make up 42 % of the world's youth.

58:22Wow. Of the youth. More than 60 % of Africa's population is under the age of 25. Let me say that nice and slow for all the kids in the bat. More than 60 % of Africa's population is under the age of 25. Looking to the broader population growth, by the mid-century, a significant one-third of all sub-Saharan African population will be children under 15. So while the exact number's not right, there you go. Five to six African countries poised for growth. Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Congo, Rwanda, fastest growing economies in 24. Like East Africa countries like Rwanda, 6.9. Ethiopia, 6.2, the fastest growing.

59:09So that goes into that. Why is Africa vibrant and full of opportunity? Here are four bullet points that back up Gary V's point in Africa. Youthful population, fast-growing economies, massive population boom, infrastructure and investment, both regional, tech, agricultural mining, and global investments, notably China, and now increasingly the UAE and the U.S. are heavily investing in African infrastructure. What does China owning Africa mean, and what is the reality? This statement pops up often, but the actual picture is more nuanced. China is now Africa's largest bilateral trading partner, accounting for about 20 % of the exports.

59:51Chinese loans and debt. China shares external public debt in sub-Saharan Africa rose from 2 % in 2005 to 17 % by 2021,$134 billion.

1:00:08Yeah. That's a large percentage. And by the way, that's how I use ChatGPT. Yeah. Right? Like when I'm thinking about shit. I was like a mentor, sparring partner. Watch this. I'll give you another one. Because I'm heavy. Like if you ask me for real, for real, I would say that I'm a pop culture anthropologist. Right? I just like to know everything to the best of my ability. I like that. Why did Sabrina Carpenter pop off? What were the three things that really made her go? That shit, what I just did there, I do. Like if I see anyone on the radar, I want to know why. right like like just knowing because once i know why kai sadette why sabrina right why why why libby dunn why you start to see patterns once you understand patterns you can start executing those patterns right viral hits and fan connections mega boost via taylor swift's era tour opening for taylor swift in 23 24 exposed right so then like when i see something like that i'm like you You know, you guys probably have seen this in my content.

1:01:13I love emerging artists. I just like, I feel like that's just like some pure shit. Like, Dochi. Like, why did I like nail that? Just like spending time consuming. She's a star, right? If we were chopping, I mean, she got there herself. But like three years ago, if she like hit me up and she's like, yo, why am I not popping off, right? Or Tierra Whack, someone I fuck with heavy that I think is a crazy star too. if I see her in six months and we have dinner, like just me reading that little thing, I'll be like, Tira, listen to me. You have to fucking open, like swallow your fucking pride and you have to open for the biggest fucking star you can go, right?

1:01:52And by the way, that wasn't profound insight. That's always happened. Opening for someone bigger is like a 40 year thing, but you know, it reminds you. Here's a good one. There's shit the three of us and everybody knows knows, but we forgot. That's just being a human. you've done a lot. You've said a lot. You've done a lot. I wonder, ownership has always been a key. Obviously, you said asset is the biggest piece of the future of economy. But partnerships is something in this space that we do. So I wonder when you say, okay, I don't have to own. It's okay for me to partner. Early in my career, a lot.

1:02:33Later, it got changed up. Check this out. One of the reasons I'm scared to partner is I'm building such a big thing. I'm scared that I want to do something and by doing a small partnership if I then later want to do something in it I'm worried that that partner's like yo fuck you Gary V you fucking stole my shit or you did wrong I'm so scared of reputational so I'm very timid on partnerships because of that because my favorite thing this is a very important statement that I hope hits for someone I'm not trying to maximize money I'm trying to maximize the joy of the game when you analyze my career and I've got another 50 years when it's all said and done and it's written people are going to look at it if I keep doing what I'm doing and it's worth looking at and they'll be like man he did a lot of dumb shit and I'm going to come from fucking heaven and whisper down to them it wasn't dumb shit I wasn't trying to maximize money if I was trying to maximize money I would just do real estate all the tax laws in its favor

1:03:44I'm trying to maximize fun like I'm serious like I like athletes you know that I'm in the business VaynerSports big agency we just my brother big shout out to AJ just signed the biggest Jets defensive player contract in history we rep sauce Gardner we have all these crazy athletes it broke my heart when we got I got into the business 10 years ago. And honestly, I knew it earlier. Eight years ago we got into business. Probably 12 years ago is when I realized this. When my notoriety and my juice started growing and I started meeting more fancy people and I started meeting real athletes. I so wished as a kid that I could be a football player or anything.

1:04:26I love sports that much. Third grade, my hand-eye coordination had me cooking. All-star in everything. Fifth grade, size, speed, athleticism, power all started to matter. I got fucking cooked out. But I didn't realize how many athletes don't love the game. I just love it so much. I played five hours of basketball on Thursday. I'm fucking 50 in November. I'm not supposed to be out there like that. That's how much I love it. But for a lot of athletes, it's the way out. It's the path to paper. It's the biggest thing they can do to make money. As an entrepreneur, I think when people think about entrepreneurship, everybody who's watching, they think about money.

1:05:06I think about sports and art if entrepreneurship was like teaching and you could only make$50 ,000 a year I'd be sitting here right now talking about entrepreneurship renting a fucking Kia eating fucking inexpensive food living in a humble home and I would be happy as fuck and I know a lot of people don't believe me and the good news is I don't give a fuck because I know it's the truth I'm in it for the game so the reason I don't do a lot of partnerships is a lot of times I'm not trying to maximize the financial thing I want to paint my own picture I don't want to co-cook I want to cook you know and so for me this is why I fucked with Kobe so heavy like long just day one Kobe and by the way I'm a Knicks fan and hate every other player and team but I was like that motherfucker and he was in the west so that was good I wasn't going to fuck up my Knicks that's why I hate Jordan and Brady so much but I understood them there's certain people that it's just about the game as an entrepreneur what most excites me is to see where I stack up but I have the humility when someone builds bigger shit I'm like you know the game you see the best athletes in the world play a game and the game's over and as a fan when the Jets lose to the Patriots and the game's over and all the Jets play or dap up the path I'm like don't fucking you know I get pissed because I'm a fan but they're on the field and they know like UFC right these motherfuckers are trying to kill each other fights over that's why I love UFC so much they fucking right it's like a brotherhood right that's how I feel about fellow entrepreneurs but the money isn't like what excites me and people gonna be like in the comments or in their heads right now yeah because you got it now I'm like motherfucker fuck you you didn't know me at 17.

1:06:59Go find my boys from around the way. It was always about this. When they were fucking going to parties and hooking up, I did a baseball card show not for the$187 that I made, because I'd rather hook up than get$187 because the fucking game. It's like these lights. You know like in the summer when you got those lights and little flies they can't help it. I feel like those flies know that that light's gonna zap the fuck out of them and they're gonna die, but they can't fucking help it. It's like love. right like you know love like you can't help it that's how entrepreneurship is for me and that's why partnerships it's not about like i don't trust in fact i trust too much it's just that i just want to cook not a game what um you said everybody can't be a content creator okay but for everybody can be a content creator everybody can't be a star content creator Everybody can't get to the plate, right?

1:07:56Everyone wants to professionally live. And that's the whole game. Everybody wants a 1 % life, but it's a 1 % life. No, for sure. Definitely. That's the reason. But the next iteration of content creation, because we actually saw a lot of things happen in the last 10 years, right? Where we saw social media influencer come. Yep. Then we saw the rise of podcasts. Yep. And now we're seeing the rise of streamers. No question. so where do you see this this thing going from a content creation i don't know because i don't predict but i move quickly to your point literally starting in october which is six weeks i'm going live three four hours a day on what platform all of them which is why i told you like i don't i don't if i have the humility to start up my kick account f3 followers then you should too you see where i'm going humility is the secret weapon of the gangster humility is the secret weapon of the gangster so i'm gonna restream it everywhere right twitch and kick i want because i want that youth youtube and others will cook for me because i have a little bit more of a base there but i don't care i want to eat back to the game i want to eat shit for 18 hours again i hate him with my whole heart michael jordan because i'm a real knicks fan never wore a pair of jordans in my life but i understand what was fun about baseball for him when you get to the pinnacle you want to right i get that i've cooked and done well but now let me go fucking chop it up on this irl shit and for me it's a throwback because i was cooking on ustream back in 2007 the first irl ustream.tv it was big for me but there was no moving with it it was different it was on a desk there wasn't even laptops it was fucking that big ass computer you know it was different it was at my desk but um i'm gonna do tea with gary v and i'm gonna do another show called Winding Down with Gary Vee, Winding Down.

1:09:51So I'm gonna sip some tea in the morning and do some Q &A wisdom, and I'm gonna drink some wine and do some Q &A wisdom in the evening. And then back to the thing I said about flowers, I wanna start, I'm very focused right now on giving away, giving flowers. I got a big platform, and I've always been good at that, right? Doji, Gunna, you know, Logan Paul, all those, Jake Paul, all those kids that came up, I wanna almost formalize that. I wanna start really being much more thoughtful. You know, I'm doing the research anyway. right and a lot of people that have come up know this about me i love a dm to a kid on the come up like nothing makes me happier than like being at midnight just chopping up looking at the culture seeing someone i'm like yeah and like just giving them a fucking did on the way here a kid that i've I've been watching for a while, Cam, right?

1:10:42I just wanna, like,

1:10:48so I literally, literally DMed Cam Peterson, the comedian, on the way here, keep building my guy, we all see you. That shit is everything to me. Because I can't believe that I'm at a point in my career where someone thinks that's epic. And I do not understand why people do not give more love. there are people who today will spend their entire day being on the internet shitting on people. The fuck do you think is going on in that person's life? So the haters are hating. And the hurt are hurting. My question for everybody who's watching, if you're happy and you're loving, the fuck are you not giving love?

1:11:34I'm happy. I'm in love with life. So I spend time giving love.

1:11:43it's that simple man it's that simple hate is loud and love is quiet we need to flip that that's why everyone's confused out here right now because people that are winning like me they just mind their business and i'm saying to them no

1:12:01we have a responsibility to fucking put love on the offense and i take that very seriously i think that's why i'm unique-ish a little bit like I it's not lost on me it's not lost on you guys the audience knows good bad or indifferent whether you fuck with me or you think I'm the worst I do play it different and I actually think that little piece I just talked about is a big piece of it I spend a lot of time and energy spreading good shit and I don't get caught up in the nonsense and it's let me be very clear it's nonsense it's fucking nonsense those who are confused if you're confused and let me say this if you're a human that goes see somebody shine and your envy and jealousy and hurt makes you want to write some shit I ain't mad at you I love you I'm sad for you I want to get you the fuck out of there because I promise you JohnnyPants49 saying Gary Vee you suck motherfucker that ain't doing shit to me What the fuck do you think that's doing to me?

1:13:09Yeah. It's fat. What the fuck do you think that's doing? I promise you, winners are not hurt by booze. Motherfucking winners are fucking invigorated by booze. Like, even though I hate Reggie Miller, and Trae Young, and all these people, the Garden is the mecca, and these motherfuckers love to come in and be the villain, even though I hate it, because I'm a Knicks fan, I would be the first, man, I'd be the ultimate villain in the Garden. if I was blessed with basketball talent and was unblessed and not being a Nick and I would be the number one hated person in Madison Square Garden history because I'd go in there trying to kill people because it's the Mecca and that booing nothing like it I love booing so much in fact sometimes I ask myself on some deep shit like in the dark I'm like do I sabotage myself just for the booing you need to feed off of it bro this is some real fucked up shit do you know my favorite Rocky is when he loses everything and goes back to fucking the Philly ghettos like I sometimes want to lose everything again and go back to Queens and just start from the beginning that's how much I love building and now I'm at a point where like people think it's going to be successful just because my track record is on fucking on wax like sometimes I think about like doing that face off thing and changing my face and becoming like I love being under, by the way, that's why I love VFriends.

1:14:32VFriends did me a blessing. Because, by the way, no one's really paying attention to what I'm doing with VFriends. And I'm building fucking Pokemon and Marvel in everyone's face, and no one's even seeing it. Because everyone's like, oh, NFTs are dead, and that was the one thing Gary Vee was wrong about. Motherfucker, it's gonna be the thing I'm most right about. I'm willing to take the booze and the judgment right now. But when that bell rings in the 12th round, they're putting up my fucking hand, I'm putting that belt, and what are you going to say? Well Gary, always a pleasure. Always a pleasure.

1:15:06Any last words you want to leave the audience with? Yeah, always. What you just saw is in the last three minutes is the luck, and I hate using that word because luck is the weapon of choice of the lazy but I'm going to use it because it's true. What you just saw was the luck of the draw of DNA. We're all born with our DNA. the luck of the draw of having the world's greatest mother who gassed me up so heavy but she didn't do modern gassing up or like you can be anything she kept my shit in check she was a russian fucking immigrant mom who was willing to smack you in the face if you weren't doing the right thing i i i didn't even think about disrespecting my mom let alone doing it i was scared if i thought it that she would know so you know but she made me feel like i was the greatest and a lot of hard work and I believe that hard work because I saw my my siblings aren't the same as me there's always different shit I think that everyone who's listening needs to understand that if you really listen back you should run this podcast back we touched on things that point when I said all three of us could look crazy in two years the work is real like you can And I say this all the time, if anyone looks like you that's ever made it, the fuck is your excuse?

1:16:34If anyone with two parents that were drug addicts built something big and had a happy life, right? Because people are looking for their excuse. My parents are divorced. I'm this. I come from this background. I'm this gender. I'm this race. I'm from this area. if anybody in the history of time has made it and I say made it as being happy comma maybe having a little something right from your circumstances then you gotta ask yourself why not you and you gotta get into fucking accountability like I'm telling you we are living in the greatest era of entitlement and you know what happened? Unfortunately, the politicians in the last 30 years have successfully made people think that they're gonna help them.

1:17:29Motherfucker, I made money with Clinton and Bush and Obama and Trump and Biden and Trump and the next fucker too. It's not Trump's fault, it's not Biden's fault, it's not your mama's fault, it's not your daddy's fault, it's not the world's fault, it's no one's fault but you. and people don't understand that's the liberation once you understand when I tell you everything that is bad in my life is 100 % my fault and that makes me happy because then I feel like I'm in control and the second you cede control is the second you start getting unhappy and collectively we've ceded control to a bunch of clown ass fucking clown ass politicians

1:18:19okay grab the wheel no argument grab the wheel gary always a pleasure love you guys thank you for having me i'll see you next week peace peace all right an illegal alien from guatemala charged with raping a child in massachusetts an ms13 gang member from el salvador accused of murdering a texas man a venezuelan charged with filming and selling child pornography in michigan these are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 100 ,000 illegal aliens have been arrested.

1:19:04If you are here illegally, you're next. You will be fined nearly $1 ,000 a day, imprisoned and deported. You will never return. But if you register using our CBP Home app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, border, and families will be protected. Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

1:19:42Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.
