00:00
Called the broker up. I said Griffin.
00:03
Bye.
00:04
He said, buy what? I said, you know what to buy. By Zuck. He says, how do you spell that? I said, z u c k. He said, that's not to ticker. I said, this Griffin, call Zuck and tell him I want some shares. And so we bought some shares, and I I think we're double from where we bought
00:28
It's Friday. We're reacting to the news. Welcome fellas. Let's go through the stories. First of all, Facebook stock is soaring. It's up forty three percent in the last month.
00:37
Sulee is getting rich off of it. Fellas, Did you call it? Did you know that Facebook was gonna rebound?
00:43
Right now,
00:44
Facebook
00:45
like, I I I haven't bought ads on it recently, Sean, but I was talking to some of my folks who worked with you on the milk road, and I was talking to some of the people who worked at HubSpot who are the people who worked on the hustle at HubSpot,
00:58
Facebook ads are killing it. They seem like they're working really nicely. Like, when I was running it, it was, like, you know, we are acquiring users for, like, three or four dollars. And then nowadays, back down to, like, one fifty when we first started. So it's kinda easy to see, I guess. What about you?
01:13
Yeah. I I I bet on it. So I took,
01:17
I don't know, two hundred fifty thousand,
01:20
dollars like, I don't know, three or four months ago.
01:24
And I bought Meta because I was like, why is everybody down on Meta? And I was like, did they forget the number one rule? You don't bet against Zuck.
01:30
And,
01:31
like, you know, to anybody who's like, oh, but the, you know, the metaphors blah blah blah. I'm like,
01:38
I just send them the video clip of Mark Zuckerberg doing MMA.
01:42
And I'm like,
01:44
this is who you're trying to bet against.
01:46
The guy that since age eighteen has just been, like, dominating everything he's tried to do,
01:51
the guy who's created the biggest social network ever, then bought all of his competitors and killed, you know, every everybody else who tried to compete with him including Google, when they tried to compete with him on social. And now he trains MMA. And before that, he learned to hunt and speak Chinese fluently, You think this guy is just gonna lose money because Apple changed their cookie policy or whatever?
02:12
Get out of here with that. No way. And so,
02:16
Called the broker up. I said Griffin.
02:20
Bye.
02:20
He said, buy what? I said, you know what to buy. By Zuck. He says, how do you spell that? I said, z u c k. He said, that's not to ticker. I said, this is Griffin. Call Zuck and tell him I want some shares. And so we bought some shares. And I I think we're double from where we bought. I don't know what I I don't know exactly
02:38
I think it's eighty I'm up eighty percent on that. The Sean Sean and I use the same guy, by the way. We both use Griffin.
02:44
What did Griffin say? Let me let me actually check the numbers. I don't I don't misquote myself here. Did he did he say, are you sure, Sean? Or is he goes, yes, sir. Go go and do it. Well, he texted me the other day. He goes, great call on meta.
02:57
And I go,
02:58
thank you for the compliment because I've lost a lot of money this year. I think
03:02
that's why I sent this.
03:06
Okay. Not quite double, but,
03:08
but close.
03:10
We're we're getting we we will be double. So we're up fifth only only fifty percent. So so a little bit little bit less than I thought. Fifty percent still still not bad in a couple months.
03:20
Dude, Sarah started working at Sarah used to work at Facebook in two thousand and twelve.
03:26
And I was, like, doing some math about what she would have or what? Yeah. Two thousand twelve, she started or sorry. Fourteen. She started working there. And I was doing the math on, like, where she would be. If she just stayed there, and we were talking about it. And it was like, well, pro,
03:41
you would have gotten fairly wealthy con. Like, her job there was like,
03:46
How do I make, like, a sticker emoji that gets people in Brazil to share more selfies?
03:53
So it's like, you know, you wanna, like, gotta wanna, like, kill yourself. And this is black and lame, but, like, they pay for your lunch and you can tell your you get our oil change and, like, that stock back then was only forty seven dollars at its peak was three hundred and seventy two dollars. I mean, that's pretty sick. But, yeah, man. Like,
04:12
Facebook's killer never bet against him. Dude, when we were, going through our sale process, Facebook was one of the potential buyers. They offered them a great deal.
04:21
No. No. Was twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, something like that? Nineteen. Okay. So back then, it was two hundred dollars.
04:27
Yeah. So we so it's it's good that the stock is down from when we would have got acquired because it was, you know, stock was a a significant part of the deal, but,
04:36
we
04:37
were the the difference of talent quality between we interviewed with, we talked to YouTube, we talked to to Twitch where we ended up going to Facebook,
04:48
to Discord, to a bunch of other players.
04:50
And
04:51
Facebook was so much more imp so much better, so much more impressive,
04:55
I was like,
04:57
okay. You know, like, if I was just going off of
05:00
who what talent would we be around,
05:02
it's not even close. Like, the numbers are not even the, like, the math of the difference of these offers is not even close. But I would. Yeah. Optimize a lot of the things. A lot of people who have who have talked with who work at Facebook, they're sharp as hell. Like,
05:16
I remember just walking around that campus. It felt like I was at the UN. You know what I mean? Like, there's like, like, there's
05:22
so many different, like, types of, like, colors and, like, ethnicities. It was, like, they just, like, cherry picked the best of all over the world, and it was at that what was it menlo park or I forget where it was. But like walking around that campus, I feel inspired. One of the guys who would have been reporting to me there, he was like, yeah, as my,
05:40
like intro pro like, when you get there, you do, like, a demo project or you do, like, an intro project guess, if you're early on as a engineer or a product manager or something like that,
05:49
to, like, just get onboarded, you do, like, a hackathon project, he created basically Facebook marketplace in that and they ended up running that for, like, working on that. But it was, like, you know, his prototype was, like, the one of the original Genesis things.
06:00
And another guy was like, I was like, what'd you do before this? He's like, oh, I was at Microsoft. I was like, oh, okay. One boring thing to another great. And he's like, So, yeah, I invented, the the, you know, Microsoft three sixty five. Like, you know, I was like, we should go to the cloud and make this a subscription and nobody agreed with me. And I just kept working on it for, like, two years. And, he's like, I just literally had a separate machine under my desk where I was like, I'm gonna build it on this machine and, like, I'm gonna do it here. And I was like,
06:26
Okay. So my takeaway was, like, you guys are smart, man. If I come here, I'm gonna have to work,
06:31
I'm gonna have to work hard, you know, because you can't just, like, be lazy around these people.
06:35
They're great.
06:37
Alright. Which one? Which one am I gonna go to now? Let's go Jack butcher.
06:41
Jack butcher's NST project, which is
06:44
called checks v four. It's a bunch of art around, the check mark has recently become the
06:51
top trading NFT project by volume,
06:54
surpassing board apes.
06:56
Wow. I didn't realize it was that big.
06:59
Think that's probably, like, on a this week type basis. Yeah. That's correct. Yeah. No. Yeah. Not all time in terms of, like, active trading volume, either this week or in a in a single day.
07:10
But,
07:11
what do you guys have to say to our boy, Jack? Our buddy, Jack's getting rich. Love it. Dude, So I'm biased. Jack's, like, a close family friend, him and his wife, are very I'm I'm very close with those folks.
07:21
They are awesome. And Jack is more of an artist close enough that he sent you some of these NFTs.
07:27
Oof. Well, I got a t shirt that says internet on it
07:31
that I You sent me a thirty percent coupon code.
07:36
I got a t shirt.
07:38
Jack,
07:39
to Jack's punk rockman, Jack's more of an artist, than he is a businessman. And, if you go to his website,
07:45
visualize value and you read the copy for the check mark, it is
07:49
as we like to say, beautifully done. Beautiful done. It's it's like it's it's just an end of tea, but it's just so tasteful. It's classy.
07:58
It's delightful. No. He's done a good job, man. I I think it's cool. I still I'm not on I'm not an NFT guy, you know, cornrows,
08:05
neck tattoos, NFTs, not for me.
08:09
But cool that other people have them. And that's kinda how I feel about an NFTs still. But If I were gonna do an NFT, it'd be his.
08:18
Yeah. It looks like it lasts seven days. It's done fifteen million in sales volume.
08:23
No shit.
08:24
And, it's the fourth ranked one in the last seven days, maybe. So so really impressive.
08:31
It's just a check mark. Right? I I
08:34
don't say it like that. No. I'm not. Okay. Is Nike just a swoosh?
08:38
Yeah. Look, I'm not saying it that way. What is it? I didn't actually is it like,
08:43
you get a different color check, and you put that as your no. I'm not disrespecting it at all. But I'm wondering. I'm asking, because I'm not I'm not in this world. It went from eight dollars, which was the price that Elon was trying to charge for a blue check on Twitter. Right? So that's like the the state the political statement he's making here. So it went from eight dollars, which was his, like, opening price, I think,
09:04
to
09:06
closer to four thousand dollars per per NFT now. So incredible incredible surge.
09:12
And he is, like,
09:14
I don't know. He's not there yet. This is sort of like comparing it's a little bit of a stretch of a comparison, but
09:20
he's kinda like a,
09:21
internet banksy a little bit. Like, he does. Totally shit. That's like, it's a commentary on what's going on in the world, and he just
09:29
The guy just hits. He just hits. Like, I have I seen him do anything that I'm not, like, that's that's dope. H o. Hits only, and he's a few people who has h o status.
09:40
Dude, he makes hits. He, so he started out. So Jack's our good buddy. If you don't know, Jack, follow him on Twitter. He started out, he had an ad agency, and then he, he worked at an ad agency, and then he started to make his own ad agency, and it was going okay. And then he created this course called build once sell twice, which is hilarious. Awesome. Amazing name. Yeah. Amazing name. And it's about how to
10:01
productize a service. And he starts selling that course, and he basically was, like, I remember I did a call with him and his wife one time when we first started getting to know each one another, and they were in, like, a four hundred or five hundred square foot studio apartment that they lived in, and they weren't, like, killing it. And then, like, he had the year of his life in two thousand twenty or two thousand twenty one, kills it Now if you go to his website, bitualized value dot com, the reason why I love him is you see, like, all his background and you see his courses but he also has this tab called visuals where you can, like, look at some of his artwork, but then he has a merch store. And his merch store is actually awesome. He has these sweatshirts that say college kinda like, you know, that but it says internet. And, like, he just does things like that that are actually awesome. And it when I go to his site, I'm like, oh, I'm like this Dorothy Internet guy too, but he has merch. I'm inspired to be, like, a lot cooler like he is. It's awesome. He's he's bad ass. I'm a big Jack fan. Me too. Me too. We're we're big fans of him. Alright. What's up? Alright. Next up, we got, moonwalkers.
10:58
It's a new shoe. That's like half a roller skate. I don't know if you guys had a chance to open up and look at it yet, but it allows you to walk and you just walk, but you go seven miles an hour, which is roughly three times as fast as a normal person walks.
11:09

This data is wrong every freaking time.
13:58
Have you heard of HubSpot?
14:00
HubSpot is a CRM platform where everything is fully into Well, I can see the client's whole history, calls, support tickets, emails, and here's a test from three days ago I totally missed.
14:12
HubSpot, grow better.
14:15
Let's do one more. What's the you wanna do the tooth fairy thing?
14:18
Yeah. Okay. I got a new story for you. My sister has three daughters.
14:23
Two of which are losing their baby teeth. And, I was talking to my niece the other day, and she tells me that she lost a tooth. I said, wow. Fantastic. You're gonna give it to the you put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy? No. I threw it away. You threw it away? You threw it to the garbage can? Yeah. I threw it away.
14:37
Why?
14:38
Well, my last tooth was under there for two months and the tooth fairy never came. So,
14:43
so I don't I don't wanna I I don't wanna even try anymore.
14:47
That's the first first story I hear. And I'm looking at my sister. She's like, making eye contact. Like, I'll tell you later. I'll I'm sorry. I know. I know. I f ed up. Then the younger daughter loses her tooth yesterday
14:57
puts it under,
14:59
her pillow with a note. Here's what the note says. It's, I'll I'll send you a picture of it. But basically, it says something to the effect of,
15:07
dear tooth fairy.
15:09
You didn't come last night, but that's okay.
15:11
I, I'm leaving it here again, and it says something like you don't have to leave any money. Just draw a picture of yourself.
15:19
Wanna see what you look like. And then that's the note, and she didn't do anything again. So the news, the the question fellas.
15:26
Does my sister need to just check herself into jail for bed mom of the year? What the hell? What's your deal? What's what?
15:35
Just give, like, a few dollars or, like,
15:37
you know, like, some doritos or something. Just put a little sunset on the side. You forgot.
15:42
How do you forget that? Unbelievable. She texted me. She said that herself, she goes. Should I just send myself to jail? Because I'm such a bad mom.
15:51
That's crazy to me. That that's my new story of the week. That that's what I pay attention to. What's a tooth go for nowadays?
15:58
Five dollars. I don't know, dude back in my day. That was, you know, like,
16:01
five or, like, if your parents get cheeky, they're like, here's a two dollar bill. Yeah. It's less than the going rate, but it's rare. It's a two dollar bill. You know, like, I got a five dollar once, and that was, like, a huge deal. I don't know what's a tooth go for. I feel like people do more than that, Ben. What were you did did you get tooth money when you were growing up? I got a quarter. I don't I don't feel like I grew up poor, but now I feel like I grew up poor. Yeah. I would get, like, a quarter or a dollar, but then one time I got a tooth knocked out and I got five bucks for it.
16:30
That's some guilt money right there. That It was guilt money. Yeah. Blood money. I fell and got it knocked out. So I got five bucks for that one. But I don't know what a tooth would go for now.
16:39
Bed, do this, do this other one. You have the snowden one. I don't know if you've seen this one. Yeah. So Edward Snowden goes live on a conference.

17:05
This guy is interviewing Edward Snowin for his private investor conference. He shows up and immediately pulls up an article that says, man busted for four point four million dollar ponzi scheme. And he says, is this you? And the host interviewer says, Yeah. That's me. He goes, alright. Well, I think it's important to tell people this kind of stuff by and hangs up on him. He he got paid to to come do a keynote.

17:34

19:39
Yeah. This is a good video. I'm gonna have to watch this.
19:42
Dude, I've been following some of these, like, ponzi scheme guys on, like, they do all these, like,
19:47
For example, there was one. What's that? There's a Twitch guy with dreadlocks. He's a black dude. Not, the famous one who boxes, but, like, another one who's, like, more hated. And, he's, like, loud and cocky. I forget his name. But, very punchable guy.
20:01
But he was, like, Uh-uh,
20:04
a crypto company, like, paid him to do, like, an ad, and they're in the background talking about, and he forgets that he's recording. And he's like, dude, I can't believe people are gonna buy this crap. Something like that. You know what I'm talking about? What's that guy's name? I'm I'm a very capable guy. I don't know I don't know who that guy is, but I've seen the clip. And, yeah, like, the the owner or the promoter of the thing was behind him and they're talking. I don't know what exactly what he said. I don't think he said that. He said something else, but it was something
20:26
that Something like, I don't wanna put the hot crap anymore.
20:29
Yeah. The the hot mic picked it up and people were like, wow.
20:32
Dude, disgusting.
20:34
The the the amount of, like, the the Twitch and I think I said Twilio. I meant Twitch. The Twitch and, like, YouTube audience that buys this crap, it is crazy, man. It is absolutely crazy to me.
20:46
I can't believe people do that, but, yeah, this was a good one. How did this guy afford Edward snowed in?
20:52
Dude, you know, how pawns schemers work?
20:54
Know how to build, you know, they they gotta build this, this shell game, this appearance
20:58
of, of legitimacy.
21:01
That's crazy to me.
21:03
It's the it's the private investment club. It's the largest,
21:08
largest real estate club in Canada. That's like his shtick.
21:11
That's crazy to me. Anyway yeah. That's a good video. I'm gonna have to watch that. Alright. That's it. We're out of here.
00:00 21:39
