Revealing How Much MONEY This Podcast Makes | Ep. 4

yeah you want to put this in the baguettes put this in the beginning okay so yeah so I ended up going on Amazon you know how people do thumbnails with like a whole bunch of like stacks of $10,000 the stock trading guy is like I made all these money before I took a poop in the morning I got some prop money from Amazon so I might end up using that in a thumbnail you shouldn't have told him it was prop money oh yeah just I'm just using $10,000 as a coaster oh well okay well anyway I'm going to be using $10,000 as a coaster well welcome back everyone this is the fourth so with that said you guys thank you so much for watching yeah so Ramsey as being a bad I wish you could see what's going on off-camera got this this new cat it's like this vegan leather and it was a really nice couch and of course Ramsay decides to jump on the couch and then you know how cats do the thing where they go on something gear with their paws he started doing down on the couch it's gonna leave these little holes in the cat I'm like no let me tell you that couch is so nice and that's one of the I said that was probably one of the nicest couches I've the design it's crazy I'm super good but I have some holes in the armrest no I just can't have him destroy the couch he could he could destroy the the rug underneath the ottoman is something I don't want to destroy that too but he's doing that oh wait here he is oh hey I don't know if you see him on now you can't see me we'll see okay anyway yeah you could kind of see him there he's a troublemaker right now anyways uh welcome back to the fourth ever episode of the iced coffee hour with Graham Stefan thanks and yeah mg and Ramsey oh yeah we just want to thank everyone for the first three episodes everyone's been really supportive of them and we're over like 50,000 views between all three of them which is pretty cool Z yes and we got monetized too that means so you guys can watch ads in this video exactly how exciting is that so we should share how much we've made so far okay so we've made $72 that leads you to our Lau so that's a few days all right no 7e do but what you have to consider how much work went into that I would say from actually filming the episodes I would say 20 minutes of prep work an hour of filming Christine's one took that was an entire night from like 8 p.m. to midnight yeah of doing that plus editing editing that one don't really took me like 5 hours to edit it's less yeah we'll probably make it like 5 dollars an hour for doing this right now so that's why you got to get your two free stocks from weeble that's why you have to click on the ads watch them all the way through we can't tell them do that but why you're not supposed to tell people to watch the ads and watch them all the way so ok so don't do that no don't do that guys don't don't get your two free stocks down below in the description we've all and everyone was saying there was issues with seeing it on Google podcast I will podcast Spotify and stuff like that um it'll be fixed they're already all up there this one will be up there regularly scheduled time 9:00 a.m. Sunday so I don't know which camera to look into which do I look into this one probably look into I'm looking in that one I'll look in this one ok ok I call so yeah that's really exciting you'll monetize 72 dollars in the bank mmm gonna get reinvested soon we're getting some new audio equipment yeah so look out for that yeah it's gonna sound way better philosophy honestly when it comes to that I know you want to go all out with audio we should only spend the money that the podcast makes I'm down if the podcast makes a grand spend a thousand if it makes two thousand spend to that just reinvest it keep reinvesting it back but we should we should take a line of credit out because I think I think it really just makes sense to get the some good stuff right in the beginning we could pay for it then in the future winner yeah with the podcast do that but yeah that's that's pretty exciting also Graham we didn't ever address this on the podcast but 2 million subscribers on the main channel did we not I thought we did we did okay 100,000 on the second channel yeah Wow and like 9k on the podcast channel it'll be 10 maybe I don't know if it's gonna be 10 by the time this bus they'll probably be at like 85 9 it's already at 9 yeah we're at 9 Wow very exciting stuff thanks thanks guys if you're watching this by the way and you're not already subscribed make sure to subscribe because the sad thing is this video is gonna get more views than we're gonna have subscribers that's a problem that means people are watching and they're not subscribed but yeah so but yeah pretty cool stuff right there and then also we also want to know what kind of content you guys want to see in here because that's been something that Graham and I have been really curious about do you want to see more finance and business related like conversation or do you want to see like every day just kind of talking about our lives talking about what's going on our plans for the future and stuff like that and then bits and pieces of Finance like if there's any news or anything but just really let us know any comments that criticism always always welcome and also we've responded to every single comment on the podcast so far we're all caught up and most comments in the future we'll get responded to yeah Jack Jack is gonna be answering a lot of them I pop on every now and then with a video post I'm always there mm-hmm so and lastly some of the top comments had to do with my posture and me not having a beverage this time I have two beverages to make up for my previous lack of beverages go and I will be working on my posture this entire podcast what does that say about my posture was your posture really that is good man is it good yeah really good mine just like my neck cranes because I forgot a long torso when I could be it yeah so something that's really really funny that I saw in the news people are throwing away their stimulus checks on accident Oh accident I was about to say dude there's no way they're doing that on purpose no it was a it was a article post in NBC News people are literally throwing them out well they just don't know I've almost thrown away checks uh farmers insurance is sometimes emulate refund checks for things and I just think it's spam I just think it's like oh another one of these I'm sure I probably throwing out checks at some point know people are literally so the recent round of stimulus has been provided in the form of prepaid debit card yeah and like the way that they issue them they don't say anything of it being like from like you know the government anything no because then people steal off the mailbox yeah exactly so people have literally been throwing them away I mean it's not surprising but yeah there's been a lot of theft for stimulus checks people going through mailboxes stealing stimulus another checks debit cards prepaid debit cards it's just odd though that they would provide it in a form of debit cards because like there are so many things that you can't buy with debit like what about people like trying to pay their rent and stuff like that I mean there's probably ways there are ways around it their ways around paying your rent with it with a debit card you can go and use your debit card - I believe get a money order and then you could use the money order it's it's for people that don't either have social security numbers or how the bank accounts that's that's really what it's meant for what about the people that want to invest the money - like you said that there was this article about this person that invested their stimulus money bring that up talk about it it's a funny one she was 22 from Louisville Kentucky she basically said her stimulus was free money so she may as well as just you may as well just play around with it and said that investing is like the easiest thing she's ever made but but she's been doing well so far like she's she's almost tripled her money and didn't she do like leveraged oil yeah she invested in two time leveraged oil ETFs and United of course between the two she's more almost tripled her money yeah yes sir and she says you could make a lot of money in with no effort whatsoever just investing that's good double oil ETFs could be spent on you know very worse things so honestly I agree with that I think if we look at the bigger picture here a lot of people I don't want to see a lot of you because I don't know the statistics behind it but I'm sure some of the stimulus money has been wasted on things that just people don't need I'm sure a lot of it goes towards necessities and bills but I'm sure there's a portion of people out there who's just like let me get a TV or let me get something like that and in a way that actually I take that back in a way the stimulus was supposed to be for buying things like that yeah but wasn't it from like small family ran businesses was that what they were they were trying to promote fast yes yes and no I mean at the end of the day they want the money going back into the economy and having the money circulating the economy in the form of consumer spending is better for the economy than going and investing yeah that's if I got my stimulus which I didn't because I'm a dependent and I'm in college yeah I would definitely invest it that's I mean yeah there's nothing that really well I mean you're dependent on people smashing like that exactly it's a smash lifeline by the each about but no and yeah but no seriously I mean if someone goes and buys a TV TV with that it's it is good for the economy to buy a TV then smart thing would be to invest I would say yeah the smart thing would be two of us so she did the smart thing she invested mm-hmm honey if you watch the channel yeah she saw the channel because I I made a video on how to spend your small hundred dollar stimulus check and I went through and I said like here's what you should do with it if you have bills you have necessities like if this is extra money for you to time don't read it leopard oil ETF no I United no but for real and I mentioned like investing is a good use of the stimulus Chen if you already have everything covered and this is just bonus money so maybe she watch the channel she's like listen to time leverage oil ETFs make sense yeah yeah it will fuel the economy definitely more than buying stocks the person I just bought a guitar I bought a Stratocaster the person I bought the guitar from bought a new Stratocaster with their stimulus money Wow so here we go it's it's going back Nick I mean that's the most important thing it's going back to the exactly I just thought that was funny people were literally throwing away like $1,200 catching up on the week is there anything that you wanted to discuss anything cool happened in your life between you know last podcast and now yeah I think a lot of people didn't want me to talk strictly about investments so I'll talk about non investment things got to scooters so yeah that's it that was it that was a cool thing been waiting for awhile and these scooters so I went on Amazon you know the line Birds yes yeah yeah Amazon sells another version of that that's way cheaper they're like 280 to 300 bucks made in China something like that I don't know where they're made but anyway so I got two scooters so now instead of like driving somewhere doing like a you know 30 minute walk or something you could scooter just anywhere you want so that's been a lot of fun it's just you end up saving a lot of money on on parking because sometimes like a lot of places too because you don't want to walk like 30 minutes but if you're gonna drive there's no free party like free parking is hard to find or it's like you know a few dollars for parking you could take these little scooters down there and it's free it doesn't worry about parking yeah I I've been in the market for a scooter recently and Grahm buying this scooter it really makes me want to buy one I so far I've been really happy with it we'll see a lot of people have said the scooters are broke after a few weeks so I want to give it a few weeks to give my final recommendation on the scooter but so far so good well if you guys see some guy driving like a lunatic a scooter and the streets of LA and neon green scooter just know it's probably grams probably me if because it's the only neon green one like it's it's literally it's like a highlighter green is that going man what's up why'd you pick that go attaches the brake callipers of the test oh of course of course so I thought that was just kind of cool all right but yeah so what else besides that I think that's that's about that's that's about it my everything else is pretty boring it's exciting your furniture here we're sitting in a new oh yeah we got that we got this set up here yeah so so this may or may not be the setup for the future podcast episode so let us know if you like it I like it yeah yeah I got to get something on this wall right here yeah that's what that's what I'd be looking Aquarius it's thinking about it it's unfortunately there's an arch right behind this you end up losing the arch but I do think an aquarium might look really cool the other issues its if we film a podcaster you get a horrible reflection and getting the lighting of the aquarium correct with us in front it would be difficult but it's a consideration right right here I actually think it eat it yeah open I can't do it I think this is imagined on the new table I just what do you think the future is gonna be like do you think people are gonna be going to movies because AMC announced that they're gonna reopen a lot of a theater zin this month yeah I saw that so it's gonna be half capacity and they're gonna require people to wear face masks I don't know I think it would be fun to see the occasional movie I think if there's a big movie that's coming out a quiet place to I would love to go and see that in a theater would love to which one is the quiet place John Krasinski oh I just didn't wanna sound stupid yeah yeah that's the first one I did I loved it and I was actually really looking forward to the second one in the movie theater because it's like you don't get that same experience if you're watching it from a TV or from a computer you have to be in a movie yeah so there is that experience to it that I think will always be there but I can't imagine them being as prevalent as they are now hmm yeah I don't think so I think that YouTube's kind of taking over and I think that's the same for like mainstream media in like television - I think that people are just gonna start watching YouTube and that's where everything's gonna come from they already have and a lot of YouTube content is turning out like a movie like like people are really making these little films that are 20 to 40 minutes long that you could really just binge and they're really good Shane Dawson did a great so holds all of Shane Dawson series I think have been phenomenal I really like them and it is like watching them it's like watching a Lord of the Rings trilogy except that Shane Dawson Jeffrey star it's like it's really good and I think as long as you have a good TV a good surround system it's like 50 60 percent of the same thing of a movie theater for no cost yeah yeah I'd agree it's it's interesting to think like where exactly we're headed in the future is TV and like you know movies because I don't go to the movies as is but is it just gonna be completely like obsolete know what's gonna happen you know what movies maybe at some point I think it's gonna shift online but what the issue that that I'm seeing is that like years ago it used to be like you would have Netflix for anything you wanted to watch but then they had some licensing issues and then you know some of the contents on Hulu and then you know Disney started up their own thing and then HBO is doing their own thing and then you have YouTube so what started off is like one centralized place for everything Netflix now you have to subscribe to like multiple different things it's turning out to be like TV channels again like they've got away from TV channels Netflix and now it's going back to like you have to subscribe to all these different things if you want all the content so you know that's why I still like YouTube seems like a lot of stuff is still just YouTube based yeah yeah I think YouTube's great and I think that one of the reasons why it's so successful is because so many people are putting so much content out there that you can just pick like from a larger selection yeah you know what I mean I agree with that I like the the how-to based nature of YouTube like like all the stuff like how do I do something I'll look it up on YouTube like I had an issue with Photoshop the other day and I just I you tubed it and some dude was like had the same issue and then post on YouTube I'm like how did how is this person like I would never think to myself oh I had this issue I when you press command why it subdues the colors and so it like I typed in like how to make color come back Photoshop like some dude or you did yeah but it probably had like thousands of views yeah oh yeah yeah it's just goes to show you like little tiny things like that I'm sure he's making money from this it's good yeah find a problem and solve it do you think do you know the movie obviously you know but have you seen the movie wall-e a while ago yeah do you remember how in the movie everyone was in like these pods and everyone was like super obese and they were like going around they didn't have like real human connections and stuff like that kind of yeah do you think that like in the future I'm talking like a hundred years from now now we're gonna kind of go into like a completely like we're gonna like in for a massive change I don't know it's it's very much like the matrix where they can plug you in I think a lot of people would do that I think of people who are like I think a lot of people are just suffering they're not happy with their lives there's no way to change it for them and they've lost hope and I think for a lot of people to be able to plug themselves into something and have an entirely new reality new experience they would do it I think a lot of people do I think that's also a reason why not everybody but I think video games could be very addicting because people want to immerse themselves in this other reality where they could be whatever they want so I do think that if something like that were to come about it would be a real thing the issue comes then with with you know sustaining your lifestyle like where do you live where does the money come from how do you pay for that so there's got to be some sort of existence in reality but but assuming that someone could save up enough money and basically say I'm gonna live in a in a shack somewhere I'm gonna park my RV in the desert I got enough to live they could plug themselves in for like you know six days out of seven mm-hmm you know I don't think it's gonna be indefinite because there's there's got to be someone watching over you to make sure like you eats and stuff like that I don't think that's going to I don't think you could plug yourself into a system and then have like a drip thing for your food and just be like for years on end without like waking up from that so yeah things can't manage I think the experience will be eventually so immersive that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between reality and a you know an illusion that's crazy I think that stuff's gonna get pretty popular too yeah like it do you think if you had the opportunity to virtually live the best possible life that you could live would you want to do that no because I would be firstly I feel like I'm living my best reality currently and I would be too afraid of doing I just wouldn't want to get like everything's going really well I wouldn't want to know I wouldn't do it huh since you say that you think you're living your best reality I was wondering do you have like obviously it's a stupid question but like do you have any long-term goals that you still haven't fulfilled because you've been so successful this past ten years that I feel like you've probably assigned yourself plenty of goals and you just keep on achieving them it's just things I want to do the aquarium is a big one I want to set up the aquarium that's like a short-term thing like I'm sure that you could like give yourself short-term goals like Oh from a video that performs travel travel is something I want to do a van life think would be fun I don't know about boat boat life might be kind of fun too but I think van life traveling is something is that's a long-term goal of mine I don't know if a lot of people ask to evolve write a book I don't know if I'll write a book at some point it just seems like a tedious thing to do at this point yeah so since you don't I mean you have goals but what do you think my goal should be if you were in my shoes right now what's the what's the course of action you would take everyone's different you know I can't I can't answer that for you what's you want what do you want because a lot of people don't don't want what I want right but I'm just yeah I'm just curious if you were in my shoes would you drop out of college yes immediately yes and then what would you do I would work for the Graham Stefan show that's what I do for real I think that I think is way more potential going out on your own like like what I see is that there's this just there's not that much upside for for school and I think there's an opportunity that you have the advantage to take it you could you could go for the worst-case scenario is not really that bad I think a lot of employers are now realizing that the value of a college education is not what it used to be I think a lot of employers would value the fact that you took a risk and you went off and pursued your own thing and did not finish school because you saw an opportunity and you went for it I think that says a lot about someone I think your 20s or the the best time that you could just hone in on work and make a name for yourself I just think in your 20s the best time you got everything - so hone in on the gram Stefon show I think so and everything I'm biased so obviously I'm saying that because I mean it benefits me to write but I think you in the same way can can ride that same wave but just continue editing the videos and coming up I think yeah coming up with other ideas like the the witch mile call it the administer the mentorship that was that was your that was your running yeah I mean you really built that up I could I could not have done that without you so that was a good example of something where you had an idea and that idea turned into a reality within like two months yeah so just come up with more stuff I think more ideas like that and then it's figuring out how to grow it it's not so much like like the mentorship group by the way link down below in the description for anyone who wants to do that we got a really good start but then it became this bottleneck of growing it and how do we expand it and that's the point where I feel like need some improvement and I'm leaving this up to you so I'm really trying my best not to get involved now I'm focusing on the main channel like you know everything else this is you right so I feel like you had this idea you grew it and now it's about taking it to the next step but I feel like it's it's confined because there's something holding him back and I'm not sure if it's if it's if it's me if it's the if it's the promotion of the I'm not sure what it is but there's something that's limiting the growth what is that I would place more of your effort on that what's holding it back how can that be better instead and I love the podcast right but I feel like it became a thing and you're like okay let's go to this over here the podcast the issues that we've got this thing that's growing it's right well link down below in the description but we could grow that we could we could five-time that in six months I mean literally we could take that five times what it is now which by the way is a good a good it's in the description guys yeah it's in the strip waiter but a good idea to get in now because right now I mean our zoom calls maybe have 20 people in them so you get one-on-one time whereas in the future you know obviously as it grows you know we'll still make time for everybody but still that's the advantage of now but that's what I'm saying it's like there's a way to grow these things to the next level mm-hmm like when I first started the channel it was it was going to three videos a week instead of two and opping the production quality spending more time on I feel like it's there but it's just you got to grow it you know I love the podcast but put more effort into that I think it's about growing those ideas interesting yeah well thank you appreciate that you're welcome link down below in the description mmm one more thing I want to mention complacency it's really bad I think I think with the the mentorship group gotten a little complacent with that yeah yeah I would agree too because I've like tons of spread cheating and stuff I need to do and sometimes I just like fall back on that yeah but I hired someone else out to do it but it complacent it that's the worst spot to be in because the issue that I feel is that you you have no no pressing factor on anything so you don't think I have the the drive or that I think you have the drive but there is no push like for me a lot of my drive like when I when I bought one of my properties I had no money in the bank after buying it and renovating it like nothing and they did that multiple times but that was the best motivation for me to be like okay now I got to make money how am I gonna make money I'm gonna work even harder as a real estate agent and then the end of the year would come around I'd buy another property spend every dollar I had like I would have a few thousand dollars sitting and checking out that was it everything else was in a property but that was really good motivation you do get a bit complacent when you have more money in the bank account you kind of lose that ya motivation no that makes sense I would hate like I don't want to redirect or like blame the fact of being a student and working you know with you at the same time but I I'm gonna be completely honest like I do take relaxation time like like at night I don't really like working right before I go to bed so right before I go to like I don't like editing a video and then closing my laptop and going to bed all the time like that's something like especially if I've been working all day it's hard to just like close it like I want at least like or maybe like around an hour or so of just like you know unwind and just like relax that's fair doesn't mean you can't wake up even earlier and start the next day that's hot I will tell you though if you drop out of school dad is that's your motivation right there probably but yeah you're gonna be so nervous gonna be so scared about screwing it up that you're gonna make sure you don't screw it up yeah but also at the same time I just took my last final yesterday so I won't be juggling school and work at the same time we'll see how it goes you're not gonna have that you're not gonna have that debt that fear of just like prove me wrong if this next podcast okay fair enough we'll see yeah fair enough let's see did you know that Carol Baskins just acquired Joe exotics just on what do you think about that man saw that 16 acres yeah you know what the thing is she got a better lawyer dad that's all it comes down to I think was stuff like it well in my opinion I mean Joe basically admitted to copying her and redirecting traffic and confusing its visitors you know I get where she's coming from she had a good lawyer go and fight for this and she won so as unfortunate as I feel for Joe because I mean the entire series really it seems like symbolize with Joe like you feel bad for me you're part of his journey and a part of Carole's journey it's his journey I bet if they made it from the point of view of Carol by asking people would hate Joe exotic we hate him yeah but they made it from his real likable guy um but at the end of the day he was she was caught in the wrong do you think the cat think listen the cat over here it keeps scratching at the furnace it doesn't it's gotta stop yeah gotta get him to stop you can't do that okay are you team Joe I would say I'm team Joe but it's it's hard to say between the two cuz they both got a point that both got a side I watched the first like three episodes couldn't watch any more I liked it I don't know man it just didn't really captivate me now first few episodes were good and it was a little crazy and stuff but it just wasn't my kind of show fair enough and and yeah I was I was team Joe I was totally team Joe and it frustrated me when I learned she had gotten his his like whole thing his whole zoo I know yeah but I'm curious to see what she'll do with it and they'll leave it may be season to him it seems like a lot of there's a season to maybe I don't know it seems like a lot of people are on Joe's side like I'm a vast majority of the people on the show is made from Joe's perspective but why if there's but still if there's so many people like eighty percent on Joe's side how is nothing being done about it I'll do it man don't go to jail since we're on the topic of animals yeah what's up with these Hornets why have you been what what's up with them I don't know it came up front page of Reddit I read it I thought it was funny so I mentioned there's nothing that just sounds more terrible than Turin Hornets put together its I don't know if you could say the M word on you - I don't know yeah they they YouTube transcribe everything the video so they know every single word that you're saying okay well Hornets Hornets yeah M Hornets just sounds absolutely terrible they have made 50 people per year in Japan become deceased and there are two inches long see how I avoided the K word yeah look at that two inches and they have officially entered the United States officially I love that officially so watch out guys okay you they officially they're in the United States watch everyone okay for these Hornets Wow alright so we're gonna move on to the Gmail question segment I'm 15 I'm from Australia cool yeah so at first I wanted to be a marine biologist I'd say that was big when I was like 7th 8th grade marine biologist and then after that I wanted to be a drummer like a professional drummer in a band or a session drummer and then I thought wait a second they don't make a lot of money so then I wanted to be an investment banker but then I realized well you know there's a lot of schooling involved that a lot of hours and then right after that I became a real estate agent I became what I wanted to be but it wasn't what I originally wanted to be as a kid it was a marine biologist was was first yeah okay when I was a kid I wanted to be a firefighter and then when I grow when I grew older I wanted to be a real estate appraiser and that's pretty much it yeah but your dad does real estate at Bridge my dad's a real estate otherwise for a kid to be like I'm gonna be a real thing oh yeah I would yeah where did you get that yeah anyways that guy was 15 yeah I know he did yeah he said he was 50 I did not sound like that when I was 15 20 I don't sound like that now yeah Sammy props he's got a good narration voice yeah he really does it's got a cool accent - he's from Tasmania hmm hey grandma Jack this is Chris here I had a quick question about Amazon affiliate commissions I know recently Amazon cut their affiliate rate and I was wondering how it's affecting Graham with his own Amazon store that he has thanks guys appreciate it yeah really yeah good question really not at all Amazon affiliates for me makes up such a small percentage I mean it really it compared to everything else it's so it's small compared to you know even I remember my first entire year doing Amazon affiliates I think was like I made $100 a month on that total my first year of doing it so it wasn't much so no it's not affecting it's not affecting us sir or hmm I've always wondered what if you just set up an Amazon affiliate store and then whenever you were planning on already buying something on Amazon just adding it to your store and then buying it off of yourself I don't think it applies to yourself but I'm sure if you had someone else used to buy it through your link maybe I don't know it seems like that like a pain to do that because if so it's it's such a small percentage like sometimes it's like 50 cents you'll get on something or sometimes it could be like a few dollars I don't know how much that's really worth it but if you're buying something really nice off of Amazon like a potentially everything but then you're also taxed on that money that you're getting from Amazon so it's like even though you might make like six box paying tax on that after tax it's like three it's really worth you know I don't know maybe it is would you ever get a tattoo no no why not I just I just don't want to put something permanent on me like that you know as a kid I really wanted like I thought it was so cool like like I wanted a pirate tattoo and I was like ate like an anchor ya know like a skull and crossbones I thought that'd make a really cool thing to do and I used to have these like you know fake tattoos other otherwise now I'm just personally about it and not a fan of tattoos on me yeah neither am i I'm not a huge fan of tattoos I couldn't see myself ever getting a tattoo and then people always say but what if something like super significant in your life yawns you know would you get a tattoo of that I'm like no no what that was that was what I kind of thought - it's if something really significant happens what I get a tattoo maybe I don't know sapphire reserve raises the the 7 yeah exactly um you know I I just wish that tattoos were like removable like easily removable because I think they look cool like I think having like a full-on sleeve looks cool but I would love the ability to be like ok I'm tired of this snap my fingers and it's gone so you do it if it weren't permanent obviously I think it would do it if it were not permanent if I could just decide like ok tomorrow all of this is gonna be over and I'll go back to normal I would be highly likely to do it so only for a day maybe a few years or something I believe ya but whenever you get tired of it just stamp your fingers is gone but that's that that's not the point of the tattoo the tattoo is it's because it's permanent and I I just don't like putting anything permanent on me and if something significant happens like I would rather like I would rather buy a watch like like 30th birthday I thought maybe like it might be a good idea to buy a Rolex it just being symbolic I'm always wanted to Rolex and I thought that would be really cool to get the watch avoid like a Rolex Daytona I really wanted one of those and I thought 30th birthday is a good like it's a milestone and that's something you passed down to like the next generation but then I thought that's kind of silly oldest and best like that's better to invest I'd rather invest so I did that instead but you know anything permit you know big like dams your birthday present to yourself investing it yeah what am I gonna do with a Rolex I mean that's the thing too it's like what am i it's on your other hand imagine two hands all my videos seriously is it I know what's gonna happen with that I wouldn't never wear it because it's too nice yeah I'd much rather just invest it so but I see this as an investment like you'll spend $30,000 in a watch that over time might be worth 40 or 50 like I could've bought the same watch by the way four years ago the same watch the zennith Rolex Daytona stainless steel for like 13 grand and now they're 30 I don't think you should view watches as investments like I wouldn't say that like it just does it doesn't make sense because it's it's to gamble e-grants it's got a spray bottle here see quickly you stop when you put the spray bottle here you'll be doing that so you would you would call it an investment I feel like you can justify the purchase of a watch just because you like it and then maybe maybe you preferring a watch that could maybe retain its value a little bit more contrary to watch that just appreciates a ton hmm like that makes sense but saying that like I could buy it as an investment maybe it's the same thing maybe it is like you could you could buy a lot of art as an investment that's quit works I don't know when you meet people for the first time and they ask you what do you do what you say to them hey never tell them YouTube no I never tell them YouTube no because because then what happens is you're like oh let me go what's your YouTube channel what it was about and then I have to explain the whole thing and then they look at it oh wow you have two million subscribe and then all the videos are how much money it's it's I would rather than find it organically so I always tell people what do you do I'm in a real estate you just say in realist I'm in real estate yeah I don't because then if I tell them I'm a real estate agent the first thing they ask then is oh how is the market I don't want to explain to everybody how them market is going it's like any parties you go to real estate agent Oh how's the market I explain how the market is the next person what do you do I'm a realist and how was the market I explain how the market is I'm in a real estate I feel like well yeah when you say I'm in real estate it's like the wealthiest response it's like vague but also like Oh like yeah I guess so I'd like to leave it because I don't like contrary to YouTube I don't like talking about myself always getting all hyper I don't like talking about myself that much and if someone's asking me a whole bunch of questions like I just I don't I don't feel like I hate small talk I guess is really what it comes down to yeah and it's like the formalities of like Oh what do you do oh that's interesting what made you get into that oh cool how long have you been doing that for oh cool how's the market going oh yes let me tell you about you know my far long-lost cousin who bought a house and his whole experience buying a house and sitting I think I'd rather just you know not not get into that that's all yeah it's super difficult for me to do the same because people would say like like I'll be like oh I got work or whatever like what do you do and then I'll be like well I I created like this program I added videos like I I mean now I'm probably wouldn't mention the podcast $72.00 but yeah it's really really difficult from the same so I just say like oh I do like marketing exactly I do marketing and plus it for me real estate it's like most of my money goes back into real estate anyway at the end of the day you know YouTube real estate it all goes into real estate so real estate is is you know you're really the backbone of everything I wouldn't have the YouTube channel if it wasn't for real estate yeah so real estate is really what I what I you know it kind of got brought up from I would Sam do you think you're more of a real estate expert or a YouTube expert now oh gosh I want to say that it's 5050 so if someone's gonna ask for consulting on one of those two and you would you would say like that's a tough one goodbye right now I have more fun talking about YouTube I would say because you're making more money I mean yes but it's also it's like it's it's new and it's exciting and a lot of its changing and real estate I think the investing principles of real estate really seem to be consistent it's it's it's the same thing YouTube I feel like is constantly evolving and I'm really excited about talking about it because it's it's something new real estate for me is something I've just done now for 12 years in 12 years and YouTube is something for a few years I'm like I'm really excited about talking about something that's new that's exciting yeah I almost just choked on that oh this is lemonade by the way for anyone who's wondering this is a lemonade I almost just choked on my lemonade and spat it all over myself and that reminds me the first time I ever met you in person I've told you this before but no one they don't know about it all right we we met at the O group and then we walked across the street to this burger place or this restaurant I ordered a burger and a water and the first sip I took my water I spilled it all over myself and this is the first time I've ever met Graham and I spilled it all over like my crotch area region and Graham saw and we both looked at each other we both looked at each other in the eyes and then just like didn't say a word about it like I just like dumped probably like a pint of water right there we just look at each other and then we just moved on just ignore it yeah it's so funny to me that that happened when you were a kid did you ever do those things were like you'd be in a room with an animal and you just like come on you can it's just me and you here we could talk all the time I try to talk to animals oh I still I still talk to ramsey still talk to him like like he knows it and I'm like you don't don't I you know put your paws like it like this scratch the eye you still talk to him but like that's like commanding like if you were just alone in a room with ramsey would you ever still just bec come on if you're gonna say something just say it now I've done that before it not with it not with Ramsey I've given up I've given up on cats cancer too they're they've got a mind of their own I know he's plotting to take over the world that's some yeah yeah I'm not gonna mess with that I'm just gonna hope he spares me at the point where cats one day right well everything like I will be spared okay but not anymore hmm and what about like other stuff like trying to use the force it sounds so stupid but like on occasion like if I were sitting here there's a chance small chance but there's a chance I would still look at that candle and I would think I can I can put those flames out I happy I tried doing that after the movie Mathilda did you ever see that you were probably 12 at that sometime probably younger than that when Matilda came out which is a classic with Danny DeVito she was able to move things with her mind you could go like move that up and down and she had this magic power I thought like I could do that that that was real never happened but never happened it I don't do that anymore so now since stores are starting to open up what do you think is gonna be the future of our economy with this whole thing I mean it's not at an end but it's we're rearing near there near the end yeah it seems like employers are taking advantage of their employers ploy ease coming back it seems to be commonplace now that a lot of the furloughed employees are being asked to come back but with a pay cut and employee employer is kind of know that like listen they got you because they're guaranteeing you job to come back but it's at a 25% discount do you take it or do you risk yourself in the job market going back into the unknown working for someone else that you're not sure if they're hiring or not or how long you'll be unemployed so it seems as though people are being asked to come back but with a pay cut that is a bit concerning in a way you know as far as business is concerned it saves businesses money it's not good for people so I think we're gonna see a comeback but I just think it's a it's a good excuse for people not to pay employees as much and not hire as many to come back I think it's gonna be a major restructuring that a lot of employers can have one person do the job of two and and that one person is doing the work of two would be happy to come back because you've got a job to come back to so I think that's gonna be the biggest impact I'm just scared like will this ever happen again since we've already set precedent that like like what if we get another disease I think it not a disease illness I don't know I really don't know I think if it's severe enough and it warrants another shutdown we'll be prepared to know how to handle that so I think we'll be in a better position the next time but you know Bill Gates has said something along the lines of it's gonna be more common that stuff like this would happen but but we have the opportunity now to at least understand it a little bit better and know how to prepare for the next time so I think we'll be in a better position the next time we'll see also I'm sorry I've been thinking about this this entire podcast how do I stand straight when this is gonna be I don't know I feel like mine is just probably but it's probably the camera angle that's making my posture look better than it is do I sit like this cuz then I'm like talking down yeah they're like slouch who cares who can slosh the final or the only gag question that I have on this one is um what was the first person that milked a cow trying to do I would I would say that's a good question I would say that probably seeing calves nursing and thinking wait a second if I need some sort of sustenance maybe there's something to this and if it's safe for a calf it's probably safe for a human that's what I probably think I don't think anyone sitting there looking at the UH ters be like oh I can milk that I think it's something visually someone that sees that so for anyone who's made it
