Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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.
