Everybody has this weird dream that the
algorithm ising them up when it's
theming themselves up. The algorithm is
people's attention. The algorithm is a
system that puts content in front of
people. And when the people in the
beginning of seeing that content on the
other side don't with it, the video
doesn't get seen as much. The algorithm
is just is the content good. My
algorithm was [ __ ] up too 3 months ago
for a whole couple months. You know what
it was called? We just weren'ting good
enough and we had a bading several
months of my content.
>> What do you suggest I do to become a
theater actor at age 46? I have a family
and a full-time job and kids in college.
What do I do?
>> Spam.
I think he used to spam every local
theater within a 2-hour mile radius
driving of him and say that I want to
try out. I want to act. I mean, you're
46. you want a theater act. There's only
going to be so many theaters around you.
Uh, you know, maybe you live in New York
City, but that's obviously the toughest
game in town. I think you need to go out
for rehearsals and I think you need to
ask for rehearsals
and that's it. I mean, as far as like
you've got kids, you got a family. You
know,
Dustin Dustin Lee says, "Not use
social." Dustin, I don't know if Arizona
is so hot that your brain is not as
sharp. When I say spam, what what do you
think I mean? Of course, social. DM
people on social, email. You know, I'm
not sure what's going on in Arizona,
Dust, but you might be you might have
too much free time on your hand out
there riding your bike and [ __ ] you
know. Yeah, I understand you trying to
help elaborate. I um I love you. I miss
you a lot. Um so, look, I think and by
the way, what's Dustin doing up right
now? Is it 6:10 in the morning there?
You need to go ask and take it. I think
the second part of the question is how
do I afford that? I guess providing for
a family what like look life has
responsibilities like if you decide to
have children you need to take care of
them.
I don't know what to say. Like I don't
you know like the amount of people that
are coming to me being like Gary but I
got kids. I'm like hey dick you know
pull your dick out and don't have kids.
Like I don't know like what do you want
from me? No [ __ ] you have kids. you've
made that decision. [ __ ] take care of
it now. Like like people are 48 six and
trying to like like I'm sorry that you
have kids. In fact, I'm so happy that
you have kids, but yes, I understand you
need to now provide for them. Sorry that
you can't go play theater. Why the [ __ ]
do you think I'm yelling at all these
[ __ ] kids 18 to 30 right now and
telling them to go [ __ ] chase their
dream before they have those
responsibilities?
What do you think we're doing out here?
I'm not [ __ ] sitting here making
jokes. I'm not out here trying to make
you laugh. I'm not out here modeling.
I'm not trying to have you look at me
and want to be like me and like
fascinate over me. I'm not out here
shooting buckets and throwing 99 miles
an hour. I'm not trying to have you put
a poster of me in your room because you
think I'm a great athlete. I'm trying to
talk about real [ __ ] [ __ ] here.
Why do you think I'm [ __ ] trying from
the bottom of my heart on [ __ ]
mornings in the late summer to get
people to understand what the [ __ ] life
is about?
>> In your early years, you need to go all
in on your dreams.
This gentleman
wanted to always be a theater actor.
Feels like he didn't get it out of his
system. Sounds like he didn't in his 20s
go to the big city and have 8,000
auditions and then by 30 be like, "Okay,
I got that nut off. I'm not that guy."
Why do you think I'm telling all of you
kids not to take the job your parents
and society are telling you to? Dead
[ __ ] curious what this dude did from
20 to 30. Did he take that job that he
thought he was supposed to take? Did he
take a job that paid a little bit more
so he had a little bit of a better
apartment and could go and live his
life? And now at 46 like, "Oh [ __ ]
life's really about joy and enjoying
it." And by the way, people have
confusion on joy. I don't want to go
sailing and on vacation. Clearly, look
where I am this morning. This is my joy.
I am more happy to sit here and spit
this old man wisdom on all of you
than be sailing this morning or teeing
off at a country club. I understand a
lot of people like to do that. I love
that for all of you. Oh, by the way,
sportis, I'm not saying I'm old when I
say old man [ __ ] I'm saying since I was
[ __ ] 13, I've been spitting wisdom.
I've been on this 88-year-old talk track
since I was 18. Go talk to my high
school and college friends. Ask them
what [ __ ] I was spitting.
I get that you have responsibilities.
You guys chose that. How do you handle
it? You get into good physical and
mental health so that you can actually
slip sleep 6 hours a day. That gives you
18 hours a day. In an 18 hour day, you
can get a lot of stuff done. All of you
are [ __ ] brain rot scrolling, playing
video games, watching Netflix, doing
other [ __ ] Most of you are golfing and
sailing and playing video games and
watching Netflix to escape, not enjoying
what you do.
Does everybody understand this game is
reverse?
People do all this other stuff and spend
all this money on stuff to fix the fact
that they don't like their 9 to5.
Yeah. I mean, like, I think you got to
give up your weekends and your nights.
You have a full-time job, come home,
kiss the wife, and go out and [ __ ]
audition.
And then when you know, like, I don't
know what to tell you. Like, I don't
understand how nights and weekends have
become off limits. I think we got [ __ ]
up. You know how like we overcorrect?
like we went we go two left and now we
go two right and now we're going to go
two like people don't know how to find
the middle in this world where from 2007
to 2012 it was awesome to be like hustle
I was [ __ ] one of the faces of it
hustle go hard don't forget the 2008
financial crisis [ __ ] everyone up
smartass kids with good degrees for the
first time ever couldn't come out and
get jobs they're like what the [ __ ] is
this while Facebook and Twitter were
exploing ing YouTube [ __ ] was changing.
We overcorrected. Like people are like,
"Gary, the Do you know how many public I
mean, you may know this cuz you're my
[ __ ] You people are like, "Gary, I get
going hard, but like I got to live my
life." I'm like, "Motherfucker, live
your life. You're in debt.
The [ __ ] are you talking to me about a
visa when you're in debt?"
This instant gratification. Where the
[ __ ] is like I I see Chris Lee behind
right now. He'll be on next. He's got
some gray hairs. When him and I grew up,
people didn't think that it was supposed
to be awesome every day and [ __ ]
party every like people were conf like
the entitlement is ravaging us. It's I
think his situation's easy. He's got
kids in college. Like clearly he's
talking about like I want to do this
full-time. How do I afford to pay it?
You don't. You're not a good enough
theater actor.
That's like me coming on this show and
be like, "Yo, look, listen real quick. I
don't trust Justin Fields. How do I
become the quarterback of the Jets and
win a Super Bowl? The answer is you're
[ __ ] delusional, Gary. Shut the [ __ ]
up. You're almost 50 and you're not that
and you're not athletic. What I was by
and by NFL standards, you're a piece of
poop.
>> The [ __ ] are you talking about?
We are just not self-aware, not
accountable.
And and this is all love for this dude.
This dude's got it good. Audition at
night, act on the weekend.
What's he if he was on screen? What do
he come? Yeah, but my wife. What? Like,
okay, then pick your wife. I don't like
what like what do people want from me,
Pablo? The [ __ ] do people want from me?
You've made decisions. You need to live
in those decisions. And then you have to
realize you have tons and tons and tons
of opportunity like you can easily act.
What do kids in college have to do with
anything? What do you want me to tell
you to quit your job and go be Liberace?
>> I do a lot of lives where I'm answering
questions about medical stuff and
everything like that. And uh my history
is I've lost two children and
>> uh I've gone through all of that and
>> one of the things I want to do is really
get more into public speaking
>> and I know the social but with my copy
do I just keep putting that on the end
of the copy of everything I do just
>> hit me up and let's do something. And
and again, I think it goes to what I
said there, like if I'm you, I'm chat
gbting and googling public speak public
events where there are speakers in my
area and I'm I'm literally emailing them
and saying, "Hey, I'll speak for free. I
think I'm really good. I think I'm next.
I think I got it. You don't have to
charge me." The first besides my first
speaking engagement which I got paid
which even made me aware that this was a
business my after my first event
speaking where I got paid because it was
a cold outreach. I would say the next 25
speeches I gave were for free.
>> Okay.
>> You know when nobody wants you, your
cost is zero.
>> Outstanding. And I don't even care if I
>> Yeah, I could I could tell. Yeah, that
wasn't for you. That was for everyone,
right? Like I hear from a lot I could
tell that from your temperament. Like I
think the answer is just reaching out to
as many events including if you have the
capacity to travel.
>> If you have a genre or an area for
example improv if I'm you. I'm going to
chat GBT right now. And can you give
literally I'm I'll do it right now just
for [ __ ] effect. Here we go. Oh, by
the way, I call Chat GBT Chatty. Hey
Chatty. Um, can you give me a list of 10
public events, conferences, speaking
events that are around the improv
industry that are happening in the next
90 days? Can you also give me a link to
them? In fact, if you can find the email
on the website, that would be even
better and save me time. What I'm
looking to do is I'm looking to speak on
stages, but I don't have a big name yet.
Look, I'm no [ __ ] Gary Vee, for
example, you know, and so I'm looking to
get on stages and I need to email them
and offer my services for free. So, in
for the rest of the calendar year or
into Q1 of next year, I'm looking to get
uh knowledge on some events that are
going on specifically around improv
where I have some knowledge where I
could reach out to them. So, can you
give me a link to six events in the next
180 days with link to the website of the
event and their emails if you can find
it? Okay, a couple things. One thing
that is exciting everybody on T with
Gary B, I hope you saw like this is how
I a prompt engineer. I think for a lot
of you, you're probably like me. You
don't communicate as well in written
form as you do in voice. I only voice my
prompts.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> Let's see what happens here. All right.
Here we go. Uh, Countdown Improv
Festival 2025 Tampa, Florida, August.
Uh, that already passed. So, did
something wrong there.
Applied Improv Network event in safe in
Safety Harbor, California. I IO Fest
2025 in Chicago, Illinois.
>> Hold on one second.
>> Yeah, I like
Hey. Hey, Chatty. You do understand that
there is no time machines and I can't go
backwards. You just gave me a bunch of
events that already happened. I don't
know if you're on some future AI [ __ ]
where you think I can go backwards. In
fact, if you are on some future AI [ __ ]
can you tell me why you believe time
machines exist? And in fact, can you
tell me which company is going to be the
leading company in time machine
technology? Because I'd love to be an
early angel investor. Notwithstanding
that insanity, can you please tell me
events that are coming up because what
you just gave me is not actionable.
Thank you.
>> Okay. So, mine's not only the social
media, but the direct contact like
hitting these places up
>> that
>> direct out. It's always brand and sales.
The brand, right, the brand work you're
doing is the social media content. The
reading, the reaching out directly,
right?
>> Mhm. Okay.
>> Is the way to go.
>> Okay. Yeah. I mean, and as far as my
payment, if one person doesn't selfch
checkckout, that's my payment. So, I I
love it. That's outstanding.
>> All right. my brother.
>> I'm a 70-year-old woman and I want to
make some money for my retirement so I'm
not struggling for my expenses, but I
don't know where to start and what I can
do to start something on social media.
I'm eager eager to learn AI as well,
which I'm doing. What advice do you have
for me?
I I I think that most people that are
confused need to just go on social and
start telling stories. You're a
70-year-old woman. You're loaded with
stories. We touched on this yesterday.
This is becoming a thing I might build
some content around. The concept of just
telling telling stories like she's got
I'm telling you right now I'm positive
about what I'm going to say and I think
it's going to work out for me. Um I
believe and I've talked on this
everyone. I believe that we've been on a
pendulum swing in the last 15 years
where we put youth culture on a
pedestal.
Right? Youth culture.
So everyone wants to act younger.
Everybody's, you know, the kids know
everything. They're young. They're
smart. And that's been the wave. Again,
back to society. I think we went through
a wave where instead of being purple and
in the middle, we went to left.
Everybody canceled everybody for [ __ ]
everything. And now I think we're going
right. I don't know if anyone's paying
attention, but hate is out of control.
Like, we need middle. Same with youth
culture. We went super youth.
Everything's good youth. new technology,
young kids, everybody [ __ ] get
[ __ ] plastic surgery and look 20
instead of 40, like blah blah blah blah
blah. I actually think in the next 20
years,
um, we're going to be in a place where
wisdom is going to be hot. I predict
that within the next 15 to 20 years,
five of the 10 biggest influencers in
the world, influencers will be over the
age of 70.
I'm 49. I predict in 21 years,
five of the 10 biggest influencers in
the world will be over the age of 70.
And so, honestly, I actually think my
greatest era of popularity, fame,
influence will be when I'm over 70. Cuz
on that note, I'm not going to be in
this in between anymore. I'm going to be
in this like nice like you're [ __ ]
Yoda. In fact, I told Mona, I'm not even
doing like face care or like skin or
[ __ ] anything. Like, I want my [ __ ]
to wrinkle up crazy. I want to be like
Pruny V out here and just like I'm doing
nothing. I'm just like doing nothing.
I'm trying to look old. I'm trying to be
like my dad. My dad's 71. He looks 90.
I'm on that kick. I'm trying to be like
[ __ ] cuz it's just going to really
like reinforce where I'm going, you
know? Like I'm going [ __ ] like Yoda.
Like I might even live in a cave for a
year. I talk about this a lot. I might
even do that Obi-Wan [ __ ] and just wear
a cloth like I'm a [ __ ] Sandman. like
like just like [ __ ] and I'm just
going to be out here like videos and be
like you [ __ ] I've been saying this
[ __ ] for 50 years, you know? Like I'm
really ready.
>> I've been struggling a bit with my
mental health as I did something under
the influence which was objectively bad
>> which was Let me just let me just help
you. It was definitely bad. Keep going.
>> The people around me looked at me
differently and taunted me, spreading
rumors about me. How can I deal with
this? You say you shouldn't care about
them, but when you die, isn't what
people think of you all that's left.
>> No, it's what you think about yourself.
You know, you did something wrong.
>> That's what's happening here. You are
upset with yourself and I'm proud of you
for that. This is a beautiful question.
What's this gentleman's name?
>> An
>> I'm really proud of you. An um
Scorpion official says if they make
rumors, cut them off. They're reacting
to his [ __ ] Nobody would be talking
about anything if he wouldn't [ __ ] up
under the influence.
Like I don't understand. Like again, are
we really gonna blame people for talking
[ __ ] because you were under the
influence and did something wrong? Like
please
make a video right now on your social
and [ __ ] completely own it and say
you're sorry and it won't happen again
and you've learned from it and then you
can move on. Blow yourself up.
Go naked. Own it. Make a video. Go right
on your video right now and be like,
"Yo, what's good? It's an Listen, here's
what's happened.
I snorted some lines and I [ __ ] up. Or
I popped some Molly and I did this." Or
I [ __ ] thought I was getting a little
gummy action. There was a little more in
there than I thought and I lost my
[ __ ] [ __ ] And I'm acted a fool. And
I'm incredibly embarrassed. I
embarrassed my parents, my friends, my
loved ones, and most of all, I
embarrassed myself. And I apologize
that. And for all of you, my homies, my
acquaintances, the people I know that
have been talking mad [ __ ] I get it. If
I didn't do this dumb [ __ ] you wouldn't
have anything to talk about. So, I
apologize to y'all as well. And I hope
that you're never in the position that
I'm in where you [ __ ] up. I apologize.
I'm gonna try to move forward. I know
this will linger. This stay may last
forever. I just want you all to know
that I own it. It's on me. It's 100% my
fault. And if this lingers in the air
for the next 10 years, I have no one to
blame but myself. But I'm going to act
better going forward. And over time, I
think this will be a blip and an anomaly
and a side joke amongst us all cuz it
was that one time that I got caught up
instead of it being a consistent
narrative of who I am. That's what I
believe today. Obviously, if I do it
three, four, five more times, it's who I
am, even though my intent wasn't good. I
love you all. Sorry. I'll see you next
time.
There was a there was a great gentleman
on my team early on, Steve Unwin, one of
my first team Gary Vee teammates, and he
said something profound to me. I'm
obsessed with intent, as I think, you
know. I'm obsessed with intent. Um, but
he challenged me one day in a meeting
and he said, "Yeah, Gary, but if you
don't act on your intent, what's up?"
And I said, "You're right."
Said, "You're right." Now, my belief is
that most people's intent like it's
broken me. Like, it's you're going to
show up wrong cuz your intent was wrong.
But I um
I I value intent. And I think humans
make mistakes. I think in hindsight that
moment, what I realized was I couldn't
articulate the concept of having grace
for yourself,
having having accountability and grace
for yourself. I think matters. If you
notice what I did there, that's full
full accountability,
you know. So,
being able to forgive yourself is a
powerful thing. And I'll tell you why,
my friends. If you're able to learn to
forgive yourself, you'll forgive others.
Your obsession with judging. Here's
what's happening in the world right now.
We are in everyone else's business
because we're looking for people to trip
up so we can [ __ ] on them to feel better
about what we're struggling with.
You like that, Mike? You felt that one,
right? I saw your head go. That's what's
happening. Like, you give [ __ ] about
Taylor Swift and Kelsey and have your
two cents on it for one reason. You're
not feeling good enough about yourself.
I could give a [ __ ] about those two
other than I want nothing but for that
love to be awes Oh, I actually do care.
I want their love to be awesome and
they're great people and I do hate
Kelsey though. He's a chief and they
[ __ ] us on that Monday night game.
That [ __ ] flag late in the game pass
interference call is straight [ __ ]
Everybody watched the [ __ ] refs rob
the Jets of that win. I never blame refs
cuz football's tough. I I actually don't
[ __ ] with it, but [ __ ] every football
team but the Jets. I hate all of you.
The Dolphins I [ __ ] hate you. The
Bills, Patriots, you guys, you three I
[ __ ] hate the most. Next, all AFC
teams, the [ __ ] Bengals, Browns,
[ __ ] Steelers, um, you know, and
Ravens. [ __ ] you, [ __ ] Next,
the South, the Texans, and the [ __ ]
Jags and the Colts and that whole
[ __ ] division. [ __ ] all four of you
team. Uh, the Titans, [ __ ] you guys. And
then the West, the Raiders, Broncos,
Chargers, Chiefs. [ __ ] you guys. So,
[ __ ] all the AFC teams. Now to the NFC.
I don't [ __ ] bo I don't bother with
you guys over there too much. But like
first, [ __ ] the Giants. All your fans
are entitled. [ __ ] you guys. You've won
four Super Bowls. I don't want to hear
you crying. And Jackson Dark is going to
stink. Even though I love that kid as a
kid, but now he's a Giant. I hate him. I
like the Eagles, Cowboys, and Commanders
cuz they hate the Giants. So, they're
probably the three teams I like the most
after. I don't even really think about
the rest of the NFC.
I like the 49ers a little bit right now
because Yutkin and Marcus, two people I
love, love them. But now the coach
Salah, who I loved as the Jets coach,
back defensive coordinator, I'll root
for them. And I like the Vikings owners
and Mike Vicanti, my trainer, a Vikings
fan, so I got a little love for the
Vikings,
but [ __ ] every AFC team.
>> Just about a month ago, my family and I
packed up all our stuff. We sold
everything and we decided to go on the
road to travel across all 48 states to
to simply follow our dream. And our
dream is just to support family owned
restaurants, make them free content,
share their stories, and we are
faith-based, so we also pray for their
business. And it's just part of what we
do. Um, the way that we are currently
making endm meets, it's through my
social media, um, my social my digital
marketing agency where I offer services
for small restaurants. And I've been
following literally your advice on, you
know, with with the book that the [ __ ]
right hook. Basically, that one has been
how I bottle my my services. And part of
this is giving value through to to these
restaurants, giving them a a free
content without asking anything in
return. That gives me the opt, you know,
the opportunity to get in the door, uh
get them to to talk to them, get to know
them, and then we offer them our
services. That's how I've been been been
doing it, and that's how basically we
are making a living now. makes sense
>> with this new with this new venture. Uh
I want to make this into a national
brand you know where people can um see
the the company is actually called
foodies forward and that is you know the
the main thing but I'm just using Julio
the furio as the face of the company
right okay
>> so um my question is would would it be
better to start focusing now more on
footies forward or continue to do it
with my personal brand which is Julio
the furio both
>> because on on on on footies forward I'm
not even really doing any content there
yet. I try to do a food podcast and
clips like that but on Julio the Fio is
where I'm uh doing all these stories and
you know sharing the businesses and
another thing that I'm doing a little
bit different which I don't know if it's
messing up with my algorithm or not. Um
>> stop
>> I see like
>> stop with that.
>> Stop with messing up my algorithm.
You're I'm telling you, everyone's
caught up in this game. Listen, the
algorithm matters, but again, when
you've everybody has this weird dream
that the algorithm is [ __ ] them up
when it's them [ __ ] themselves up.
The algorithm is people's attention.
Just so you know, the algorithm is not
some weird Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg,
Wizard of Oz, something dynamic. Do you
know what the algorithm is? Julio, the
video. Do you know what the algorithm
is? The algorithm is
a system that puts content in front of
people and when the people in the
beginning of seeing that content on the
other side don't [ __ ] with it, the video
doesn't get seen as much.
>> Okay.
>> Everyone's got this weird [ __ ]
thought of what the algorithm is. The
algorithm is just is the content good?
>> Okay. Makes sense.
>> So you you using this account or that
account people like
my algorithm was [ __ ] up too 3 months
ago for a whole couple months. You know
what it was called? Me and my team
[ __ ] sucked.
>> Get better at it. Yeah,
>> we were using old [ __ ] content with
not a lot of [ __ ] thought going
through the [ __ ] motions. I was busy.
The team was not hitting on cylinders.
We just weren't [ __ ] good enough. And
miraculously, the last couple months or
last couple weeks, month, last four,
five, six weeks, my shit's hitting hard
cuz we have a refocus. We're thinking
more thoughtfully. We have better
strategies. The thumbnail's better, the
hook's better, the first 3 seconds
better, the 10 seconds in is better, my
copy's better, our energy is better.
You know, I see some of my teammates,
you know, Pablo specifically shaking his
head. He's been here. He was here. Not
Danny who's just shaking his head
because he likes positive affirmation.
He wasn't here. But Pablo's shaking his
head because he was here
and he knows that the energy, the
effort,
the thoughtfulness, the debate.
They were mailing it in. I was mailing
it in. And we had a bad [ __ ] several
months of my content.
and and you even prove it right when I
remember when you did the uh your other
account um that it was getting a lot
more views than than than your main
account just by answering random
people's question. I think that was kind
of like a proof what you did with
>> ah you're talking right you're talking
about this where I showed that on my Tik
Tok one of my Tik Toks I created
something called you know uh Gary V's
answers and I replied to somebody's Tik
Tok and that video got more views with
284 followers than my $15 million $15
million person account. That's right,
bro. It's the content.
>> Yeah,
>> it's the content man. Get into that
mindset. Try to make good content.
>> I'm pushing live social shopping in my
company and getting zero traction. To
clarify, I want my company to start
doing live social shopping heavy. Any
advice?
I mean, you know what I think about
this? I think conviction over
convincing. When you don't have the
leverage, right? If Mike V wants me to
do something, he doesn't have the
leverage. I'm the decision maker. He him
trying to convince me isn't gonna work.
Often it's not. But him showing me, him
going and doing a live show and being
like, "Yo, Gary, I'm [ __ ] Mike V. I
have seven followers. You have 15
million on TikTok." I went on and I sold
$98 worth of stuff, Legos and this
[ __ ] pen. Like, I really think you
should do it. His actions
got me going.
Right. So, this What do I think this
person should do? I think this person
should go and do a show, sell some
random [ __ ] around their house, walk
into the office and be like, I sold $900
worth of stuff.
This company can sell $9 million worth
of stuff. We need to get out of talking
and we need to get into acting.
This is a generation. And by the way,
when I say generation, I do not mean Gen
Z and young millennials. I mean the
people older than me, the boomers. You
know, us Gen Xers, we don't even get
talked about. It's as if we don't even
[ __ ] exist. Which honestly on some
real [ __ ] makes me realize like I'm like
I think this will make sense to all of
you. Like that's why I think it's good.
Like you know what I mean? I like like
it that way. Like
yeah like we're not old enough to be on
full defense which is where boomers get
a bad rap because they're on defense.
Everybody loves the jungle and merit.
It's like it's a jungle out there. You
got to like [ __ ] compete, but then
you become 70 and you don't want to
compete anymore and you're like, "No,
no, let's take the money we made from
the jungle and pay politicians to make
rules to make my [ __ ] old ass [ __ ]
good. [ __ ] that shit." I'm like [ __ ]
Obi-Wan Kenobi. Like, I'm going to be
out here like [ __ ] doing it and then
like when I'm not good enough, [ __ ]
Darth Vader's going to kill my ass.
Like, I can't wait for young
entrepreneurs to destroy me. I'm not
going to try to let that happen. I'm on
some I'm going to be 82 and have more
energy and [ __ ] dominate you young
[ __ ] But if for God forbid I slow
down, I'm not trying to use my power and
my money to [ __ ] cozy up to [ __ ]
politicians to make it better for me to
change the rules of the game.
I'm trying to be out here and get
killed.
I'm trying to be out here and get
killed.
train. What I mean by that is I love the
game so much. I believe in merit so
much. I believe in competition so much.
I believe in it is what it is so much.
Even at my own expense, when I'm not
good enough, I should lose.
I just am not scared of you weak young
lug little [ __ ] I'm just not even
I'm not even worried about it to be
honest though. That's the good part. I
just think at 82 I'm going to have more
humility and hunger and [ __ ]
tenacity.
I just don't know what else to say. I
just don't see people outworking me.
Just not scared of you.
Really not. The best part is I I'm not
Kobe. My body isn't going to break down
and I can't do it anymore. Sports is
tough. The [ __ ] that have my
mentality have to retire. The body
breaks. It just is what it is. 23 year
olds are a problem.
I'm really lucky. It's like God really
smiled down on me. He's like, "You know
what, Gary?
Not only am I going to make this all
awesome for you with the gifts of what
I'm going to give you, I'm going to
decide that when you're going into your
prime and even past your prime, I'm
going to create a generation of entitled
bitches."
You know that whole thing of like like
you know do you think like one you know
Israel can beat like 300 you know like
pumpkins and they do that simulation.
I feel like it's like Gary do you think
you can you versus 10,000
Gen Alpha entrepreneurs who will win?
I'm like me.
We should make that
>> they feel they feel
they feel
like people care about their feelings.
Do you know why I can't lose Pablo? Cuz
I know no one cares about my feelings.
By the way, I blame no Gen Z or Gen
Alpha kid. The culture [ __ ] them up.
We tricked them.
Now I blame all of them. Now that they
Now I blame all of you. Now that you've
heard me say that, now it's on you.
Okay. And And what?
Because news alert. The amount of Gen
Alpha and Gen Z kids making paper and
dominating is higher than any generation
before it. It's called the internet and
social media. 22 year olds that are out
here [ __ ] making paper.
So what are you crying about?
Kai Sanette
Sat, excuse me, I apologize. He's not
making this kind of money in 94
in 72.
Mr. Beast isn't making this kind of
money. Alex Earl isn't making this kind
of money. Alex Cooper isn't making this
kind of money. So what's your problem?
If if the boomers [ __ ] it all up for
y'all.
The [ __ ] happened to clicks? Why didn't
he get [ __ ] up? Oh, I don't know.
Because he [ __ ] streams for 15 hours
a day and has his mind right. Has
natural talent. Found his thing. You
know,
>> how can I be confident among successful
people even when I'm not yet successful
>> by not giving a [ __ ] what they think
about you? The [ __ ] are you talking
about confidence around successful
people? Why the [ __ ] is their success
creating insecurity in you?
I had not become successful in my 20s. I
hung around with nothing but rich people
drinking wine in their 50s. I didn't
[ __ ] give a [ __ ] that they were
winners and I hadn't been yet.
Confidence has nothing to do with other
people's success or your lack of. You
like that, Liz? Right. Like
>> I don't I don't know why putting someone
else's success on a pedestal makes any
sense. Like my success has nothing to do
with any of your confidence or
insecurities. Do not put people on a
pedestal. You know who's the last person
we should be putting on a pedestal?
Someone that has made money. I I really
hope none of you [ __ ] watching right
now look up to me because of me being
able to be good at making money. I
really hope not. If that is why you look
up to me, stop.
>> Robert Coin.
>> Hey Gary, how's it going?
>> I'm good. How are you?
>> Good, good. Hey, just real quick, just
want to say thanks for all you do, man.
Thanks for all the good messages. It's
helped me uh really push myself this
last year. Um, one of the things uh I
started doing is really believing in
myself and starting off with someone was
talking about theater acting. I started
improv and comedy this year cuz I just
started doing it. Um, stopped being
afraid of it. Started doing it and I've
really found a love and passion for it.
So, that's been a great thing. Really
glad I've been doing that.
>> That makes me so happy, bro. Honestly,
what what So what you're saying?
Consuming my content made you realize
I've been living my life for other
people's judgment. Those people have
absolutely nothing to do with my life.
And if I don't jump now, when am I going
to jump? You then jumped. You realized
in fact when you jump, eight out of 10
people are cheering for you and smiling
and you've learned how to kind of deal
with the two that out of 10 that are
not. Yes.
>> 100%. 100%. And it and it and once I got
in and it wasn't that scary and part of
that failure in doing that um has taught
me to you know it's not when you really
it's weird because like at my job you
know you have a failure you feel bad
about it you want to do better but when
you fail in something that you really
feel a passion for I don't feel bad when
I fail I feel good knowing I've learned
something out of this and now the next
time I hit this the next time I can find
my mark I know where I can go in that
next
>> and by and by the way this whole concept
of like like feeling good or learning
from failure. Let me say where I'm at. I
think that's true, but that's only 5% of
how I feel when I lose. When I lose, I'm
angry and pissed and [ __ ] up. Like me,
Courtney Xander, and Rips lost
yesterday, five straight games of four
basketball to Andy, Jay, um Tyler, and
Zack, right? And the teams like weren't
in our favor. Like all four of us were
smaller. They're also pretty tenacious
and didn't want to let us win. um we're
better looking, but other than that,
like we were in a tough spot. When that
game ended, I wasn't like, "Oh, I
learned that maybe I should have passed
to Courtney in this move or oh, like
that was a good run. You know, I'm
almost 50 years old. Like, I had really
good cardio. I got some nice workout."
Or like, oh, like, you know, um damn, I
I could have done this better. I learned
from that. When we lost, I'm like, I
hope that Tyler dies of a heart attack
right now. Like right now as he's
walking to get water, I hope he falls
over. It's dead and never to be alive
again. I I I'm sorry. I want to be
authentic with everyone. I'm in a very
dark place when I lose. I know everybody
in the comments be like, "What the [ __ ]
just happened in competit?" Now, let me
let me make this clear for the people
that don't know me. Of course, I don't
really mean that. But I want people to
understand that when you lose, there's
all sorts of energies that come,
right? NFT NFT Katie says glad it's not
just me, right? This isn't some like bro
macho [ __ ] NFT Katie the best sweetest
girl. She also loses her mind when she
loses. Like it just is what it is. I
don't really again before everybody gets
all caught up. No, I do not want that.
Tyler's one of my favorite people on
earth. I wouldn't want that to someone I
hate with all my guts for that to
happen, let alone someone I love. But in
that moment, I wanted to punch Zack in
the [ __ ] face. I wanted to like break
Andy's leg. Like I'm I'm angry. I hate
everyone. I'm not looking to talk to
anyone. Don't [ __ ] Luckily like Jay
and Guy are new and they think like it's
okay to like dab after the game. Like
everyone around me knows like if I lose,
don't come near me. I might bite your
shin cuz I'm always sitting. Like I
might bite it right off too. I'll
[ __ ] take your skin off your [ __ ]
leg, you [ __ ] [ __ ] That's where
I'm at.
>> Just leave me alone.
>> Another question for you, Gary. Um, so
I've uh I've been a fairly high and this
is, you know, trying to be humble about
it, but I've I've been a pretty high
performer um in my job. Uh, really
started finding my footing. I'm 33 now.
Really finding my footing in at my most
recent job I've had for the last year.
Had my latest performance review. Not a
single thing negative. One bad thing.
>> Okay.
>> Um, so I'm realizing I'm performing at a
higher level. Realize that I'm doing
well. I'm engaged. What I'm trying to do
is bridge the gap from where I'm putting
my efforts in my job and how I can
translate that into more things for
myself. So, taking that same time and
attention I'm giving to my customers
that I'm giving to my management and and
taking that same energy and and really
feeling it more for myself. One of the
problems I have is is with my job is I
sometimes feel a little bit of that and
I I hate to use the term, it's overused,
but imposter syndrome, right? I've I've
kind of found my way in.
>> But hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
That makes sense because you started
this conversation, bro. You know what I
think about imposter syndrome. We have
to eliminate that word. The word
sometimes in your job, you feel
insecure. That makes sense to me. You
started this with saying you feel
insecure at times.
>> That's okay. It doesn't it doesn't sound
like it's merited.
>> No. No. And and um you know, like I
said, I I the way of work,
>> the way you were parented, the the
neighborhoods you grew up in, the DNA
that you were given, your circumstances
led to you having some level of
insecurity. We all do. Every person,
even me, and I talk about my confidence
is crazy. All I was was insecure as a
kid. I was scared of everything. riding
a bike, kissing a girl, swimming. Like I
mean I I literally avoided the doctor
and dentist at all. Do you understand a
needle a shot from 3 to 25 years old in
my life would be like you telling like I
don't know like getting a sh like
getting killed. I I was like [ __ ] it
kill me. I don't want the shot.
>> Absolutely. Oh yeah. And then that's how
I was with public speaking for a long
time. And then I, you know, in my late
20s started to get over that.
>> So anyway, I mean I honestly you just
got to chip away at what you're doing.
Clearly consuming my content has given
you more confidence and clarity. There's
other people that do that. There's
people in your life. There's other
content creators. I'm giving away an
$800 box of V friends. But I'm not doing
it until we have 800 people in the room.
So Robert, you're good, bro. Honestly,
just keep building the momentum.
Positivity. What's working for you is
what works for everyone. Do you know who
I am? I'm the byproduct of a mother that
[ __ ] instilled nothing but
positivity, optimism, and
accountability. Just so you know, I'm
nothing. I'm just a vehicle that's
extending what my mom did for me to all
of you. That's it. I'm an empty vessel.
Just so you know, all your accolades,
all your goat emojis, all you're the
best, all you're the best of all time,
all you're awesome, you're this. Good
news. I feel none of it. It passed
through me and goes to my mother. All
I'm doing for all of you is what she did
for me. The reason things are better,
Robert, is you've decided to listen to
me instead of watching [ __ ] CNN and
Fox News or follow other social media
people who've got nothing but negativity
or judgment take every tragic event like
we had in Minnesota, which is
devastating. And you know, here is how
we decide to react to that. Why don't we
spend all our time and energy [ __ ]
hating each other? There we go. That's a
good [ __ ] That's That sounds logical,
right? That's a good idea. Let's take
some [ __ ] darkness and hate and let's
take that as a human and then spend the
next eight hours on the internet hating
everybody else. That seemed productive.
You [ __ ] shitads. You [ __ ] idiots.
The [ __ ] are you guys doing?
>> That's true. And then to the guy who
wants to be a theater actor, I have I
have a wife. I have a kid. I have a
full-time job. I'm take I was taking
comedy classes on Saturdays and Sundays.
I I'm taking my nights to write sets and
and work on my craft. I mean, find
people that are in that sphere and and
connect and connect and connect and talk
to all the people that you want to talk
to that you can talk to in there because
>> they're not only going to
>> help you push yourself, but they're
going to they're going to be through the
same thing and you're going to have
people that you can talk to that are
doing the same thing and keep you
motivated. So,
>> you're right. Nights and weekends are
not off limits, man.
>> Is everybody seeing this on the screen?
These are V friends cards, by the way.
You have to learn about V friends. If
you don't know, I'm literally, look at
these prices. I'm literally building the
next Pokemon. You can put in box. Put in
hobby box at the top. I want people to
see. I'm literally giving this away for
free right now. You saw Rip's reaction.
We like treating these like gold, right?
Treating these like gold. There you go.
There it is. That's sold. Oh, I don't
know the 24 3 days ago.
>> Yeah.
>> This is 800 bucks. Literally. Literally.
I don't know how to explain this. Do not
run the yet. I We're only at 566. What'
I say? 800.
>> Friends, we need 200 people to come in
here. All we need to do All we need to
do is get the [ __ ] over here and hang.
>> How would you scale a marketing agency
while maintaining the quality of service
and production?
>> Hire good people.
I don't I don't know. How did I do it?
Look, everyone's like, "But they want
me, Gary." I'm like, "They don't want
you more than they wanted me."
Right, Pablo? That's a follow for
everybody. Everybody wants, you know,
Gary, but they want me to work on the
account. How do I scale? I'm like,
[ __ ] they don't want you more
than they wanted me. Everybody, the only
reason people have been hired, Vayner,
for the first, oh, I don't know, every
year is because of me.
How do you scale? You hire good people.
You hold them accountable. You fire bad
people. You hire more good people. You
take care of good people. You're there
for them however they want to be there
for. Some people want more money. Some
people want recognition. Some people
want work life balance,
you know?
You're there for people
so you have retention. Get to know what
I'm building. I'm building the next
Marvel, the next Disney, the next DC,
the next Transformers, the next My
Little Pony and Care Bears, the next
Harry Potter. I am building the next
thing and all of you don't even see it.
You're so caught up in the Gary Vee
motivational character of it all, you
don't realize that you're looking at one
of the great storytelling entrepreneurs
of all time who's building the next
Pokemon in yourself. And if you collect
things, by the way, if you don't have I
said it yesterday, if please do not buy
V friends stuff if you don't have money,
but if you buy other collectibles,
trading cards, sneakers, art, comic
books, you go to Comic-Con, you buy [ __ ]
to flip or collect, you need to [ __ ]
learn about V friends. All right, the
winner, Rockco 727. What a huge win,
Rocco.
