Yeah, so suddenly you know what what do we do next Go set more network more. That's all. Yeah, yeah, you line out in person more way more So I traveled to different spots when I didn't want to make it earlier for different events So it's more like being ready for opportunity. We're in the money. Absolutely. Yeah All right guys, we got complex con we got we got a fresh in the building all the way from Miami flew out today What's up my man listen bro? I'd be back in your biggest band your academics in yourself as well To legendaries people are so happy to be rocking the role of today I wrote it today simple little flex who tone rose gold. You know, I don't slow it man I just saw you blow up on the internet six nine interview bro So get it right I'm walking on the side of my building

Two girls that are not fans of my show are like I see your podcast was six nine. Oh my god It's a talk. I'm like going. Oh everywhere, bro. It's crazy millions of views. Millions probably tens of millions. Oh, no 50 Yeah, you think you think he's gonna be able to make a comeback. I think so here's the issue, right? Danny which six nine is fucking hilarious rich tanner amazing artists However, I think his case coming up shortly Maybe it needs you because obviously broke his probation so no supposed to happen next But hopefully he's out he's all free good to go but other than that. I think he'd be a good streamer Yeah, I think music industry did him dirty man. Yeah, because you know why because as a snitch You're seen as a bad guy in industry, but white fans don't really care because they're their favorite concerts by your streams Only like certain people industry will be like oh no collaborations. So it's kind of like that, but now everyone snitches, right? I want to everyone but most people have gun it a lot of rappers have a hide it right so look at get a fucking gun up Most people call him shit my stitches because they actually stitch on people in real time, but Danny

Did it because they're not his friends? So it's kind of like if I'm gonna pick a side six nine they weren't friends. So is that really is that really sitting from your friends? Not like he's picking nah and his manager after this girl, right? Yeah, bro. It's messed up. The kidnaps in smash this girl. Is that your friend? I think it's any of you. Oh, no That's not your boy. I'll blame him. You followed that one up with Aaron the plumber and Charleston white too Yes, bro, you've been on Iran. You know what is was like what when I was like down and out broke we lost YouTube money My son about band is you know, I did got banned and I felt like damn, bro I made two main contributors to like networking and pushing progress was done. Yeah, so I see know what what's my next plan? Reset go go myself and person more and do more connections that way because that working is basically you I think of people's lives. Yeah, so suddenly you know what what do we do next go say more network or asshole? Yeah, it's you you went out in person more way more side of trouble to the different spots But then they want to wake up earlier for different events. So it's more like be ready for opportunity right in front of you

Absolutely. Yeah, what the mic? Oh The mic. Yeah, there's a better. No, is that better? Okay. I'm gonna just a little bit. Yeah, fuck it. We'll edit us off. Yeah, that's your You know these things perfect. Yeah, I think so All right, all right, all right. We got to talk about the NBA scandal, man. Oh, yeah, bro So I'm gonna post on Twitter with Dom who spoke about LeBron maybe being involved with this But like here's the worst part, right? Look at it from the start, but a bit better if I'm betting on a game and it's rigged I just made to the major loss because now they're playing to rig games. I'm losing hell of money Yeah, so if I'm a better I believe I'm a lot of silly people because draft Kings on this people they rob me Yeah, literally and that's a Irish person every day person making you know regular wage I'll give away for nothing because it's rigged. Yep, so it messed up and if you're like betting thousands, you know that adds up I have friends that are big betters the bets 100k minimal cheese and they lost a bunch of money last

Dude, I was like thought about doing like, you know, yeah, yeah, I don't blame them. I mean, dude It's sad if it's happening in the NBA. It's got to be happening in other but America is the what a capitalist Society, so it's kind of like this is not weird. This is more like I guess different because NBA you thought it was like legit, but not I mean who knows what's going on Stephen A Smith thinks Trump just hates the NBA so he's going after them But looking at it from the standpoint of a Irish person, right? You're sitting there thinking that things are like normal, but players are going outside together Your networking is going to parties begin late. Yeah, so if I'm somebody watching is I'm like, okay It's drunken in a club before the game. I'm probably going to lose It's like yes, because I know they're going to lose. Yeah, but it's unfair because now as an average person I don't see that shit. I'm not out there with them in person But if I'm going to sell the stickers to other people, they have a better advantage that you do. Yeah, it's messed up No, it's a good point to because a lot of people are saying we're in a recession But um you and I are just grinding all day so we don't even we don't know. I'll say this though We are in a good order for sure 100%

I But I like for example, let's say you put on the news This is not going to be a depression because now it's public But look at everyone's like house paint car payments house payments. They can make it anymore High debt from credit cards, you know People are doing like more like against repos now because Don't kind of for it. Yeah, and jobs are you know being our law because AI and Would you match that up? So I think people are kind of like dump and then we're in a recession right now if you they are pretty percent. How much of that do you put on Trump and the politics? You know it's because like right now Biden's bad management of America may trouble all this thing because think about it If Trump won two terms we'll be fine right now But Biden when he did with his administration obviously, you know like giving people free money all this stuff It won't our economy though So no, no, we need to reset to go back to normal because it's but it's fucked up So I think Trump is a good job, but again because he has to do it himself. It looks bad on him

Yeah, I'm sure you're in Miami. You're seeing a lot of repos and evictions bro all some highs So you know I study the car market right? Yeah The average car price now for new car is 700 bucks For a month a month okay, and that's average on the high end is $2,000. Holy crap So I imagine a new car itself now bro. You ready for this? A brand new car toilet a Honda average is 60k oh my god, that is outrageous So the Irish person supposed to fuck because think about it you go buy a new car now You got to deal with depreciation insurance Car repairs so that's 60k is probably like 80 90k, but so it's messed up man. It's messed up So would you advise people never to buy a new car? I would say never buy a new car Maybe if you got the money to pay for a cash then that's a better option for you But typically it's gonna do it alone our finance never buy a new car never do it But it's a terrible investment. Yeah, I've never met anyone that made money off cars I bet two all the rest filled even I did it too a little bit, but like No, no, it's not very profitable. You got to really know what you're doing though

Dude you got to know the market and know like have like somebody on the inside could yeah It's so scummy bro. I'm telling you is it's a dirty game. Yeah, you've been investing a lot in crypto lately I have so it's funny. You know Gary. Yeah, friend of ours He says against Zcash. I'm like what is Zcash? Yeah, bro. I was so mad and it put me in Zcash Bro, he made a million right I but more than a million so oh, I was you know I'm gonna do a theory of my big orange is still safe by the way But Zcash went out so shout to Gary for that. That's it. But like shout out to Gary I'm gonna shout out to Gary. You gave me the biggest wedding gift. I'm my wedding. Yeah, thank you brother I heard about that. Yeah, he pulled up with a fat fat water car. Oh, it's Gary bro. Yeah Who gets married first you were miren He's walking out yo You know, it is bro like right now. I'm focused on making the brand bigger um You know, that's where we were and even further on so Let's talk about it in my mind right now. Wow. Yeah, but hopefully one day soon So marriage isn't on your mind. What about dating in general? Dating I think is important to learn somebody new and see what they're about but

Uh currently right now I've been somebody. Okay. She's actually here. Let's go. Amazing. Amazing girl But I will say this though um, I think dating nowadays is tough because It's kind of like a battle between men and women. Yeah. What can I get out of you We'll give you any of this transactional right exactly. So all right. That's the issue right now So is she my Emmy or is it long-term long-distance? If you still money. Okay. You might see her pretty soon I'm proud of you man. Yeah, you're not exclusive though I mean right now. We're like no, it's open on here. I know how to decide It was bigger bro. I'll say to I'll say to his man It's still new, but she's cool. Okay, respect. Would you ever let a woman drive you? No What about an uber driver like if it pulls up and it's a woman Sure to avoid it. I feel like this might sound fucked up, but like whenever I say a woman driver on my uber app I cancel it. Damn. What's up? Hey, I say for a bro cuz dude my both actually has my I'm a motorcycle. Yeah, all right women almost drunk. I was on her phone. Damn. So I'll trust it because bro Mike's breeze has been bad with women driving bro. I feel uh every single time would you ever ride a motorcycle gun?

I Want to, but I don't want to give up everything I work for To die. Yeah, cuz it's the best thing ever you in the road the wind Just you with perfect harmony and peace But it's also drivers, bro And they can be on their phone if you love music. They can be distracted You're gone. I feel though. I think it's definitely worth the experience, but not long-term I feel though. Yeah, you're gonna start doing the debates with Myron You're gonna go out to the Miami streets. I'm out of the beta. I'm out of politics. I'm more into entertainment We talk a lot on this show about taking risks and trying to get ahead Let's be real at the world feels shaking right now. AI's changing jobs markets are all over the place Nothing feels guaranteed and at some point you realize no one's coming to save you You got to protect yourself and one thing people forget about is life insurance If you're new to it, you're not alone.
