Inside a Warehouse Where Real Money Is Made

I'm building the next Pokemon. THIS IS AMAZING. I'm Walt Disney. I'm building the next huge intellectual property universe of madeup characters, but they're grounded in good stuff. Gary Ski. You think I'm GARY VEE? I'M GARY SKI. EVERY company gets better when they become less corporate and become more common sense. We need to be less of a corporation and more of a common sense community. This is going to be one of my favorite pieces of content. I'm telling you right now, this is literally my dream. This is what I want to do dayto-day, every day. Just this. It's a real pleasure. — This is so cool. What's up? — What's up, brother? How are you? Hi. — Such a pleasure. This is so cool. — What's up, Rips? — This is it. This is amazing. Literally, this is It's unbelievable how much this is my natural habitat. — Well, they were like, should we book something else to do the show? And we're like, no way. — This is the spot. This is amazing. We are live. We are live, brother. So happy to be here. — Gary freaking V in the house. Let's go. How about some V's in the chat? Yeah. — How about some V? — V would be nice. Good to see everybody. There we go. In 2017, as an entrepreneur with millions of followers on social media, I came out with something called the 2017 flip challenge. And I challenged my community of millions of people to understand that flipping was one of the biggest opportunities in business. This was pre-w whatnot. This was about eBay and social media. This was about garage sales and storage units. And uh I'm I have the great fortune that 8 years later, many people, — many people have uh been affected by that challenge back in 2017. Uh including this man right here. — 100%. Yes. Would not be here. Would not be here without trash talk. Without I guess it was daily V. Don't you want to be happy? I just want to be happy. — Yeah. By the way, you have to go to YouTube and type in trash talk. I filmed, you know, I was saying all of this in 17 and people like, "This isn't true. You can't make money. You can't go to a garage sale and buy something for a dollar and sell it for 50. " And I was like, "Screw it. I'm going to film myself going to these garage sales. After hearing the incredible story of this incredible uh couple, I was like, you know what? Let's do a deal. Let's put together something massive. And I am actually going to go fly down to the Carolinas and do this show. And I did. And here we are. And I'm excited. And if I wish, actually, we're going to probably do a daily V cuz Train's filming. I wish you saw my face when I got to this warehouse. Rips. What was my opening line? — Everyone else is in trouble. I might be living here forever. — I literally This might be my friends. new home. This warehouse — That's how much I love it here. I've heard so much about this community. I'm so fired up. V friends, tell everybody. This is a $700 box. It came out for $99. Now, for everybody, V friends, if you don't know what it is, think about Pokemon meets Sesame Street as a framework, but it's collectible like Marvel. I don't know if you just saw the $9 million rips. I know you saw it. $9 million Superman comic that just sold. I am Gary Vaynerchuk. I'm an entrepreneur that wants to and is trying to build the next Marvel and Pokemon. 690 bucks. This box, as you can all see, this is not a joke. This was literally $99 only 6 months ago. That's how much demand is on eBay. If you go to eBay and type in Vfriends, you will be blown away. And that's what we're doing today. Blowing out Vfriends stuff. I was making a joke that I know a lot of you buy these pallets to then flip them right away. I'm like, "Somebody's going to be smart enough to buy these pallets today, just put in a warehouse, sleep for 5 years, let me cook, and then make the greatest percentage flip OF ALL TIME. " RIPS OF ALL TIME. Everybody here should follow VS. If you have a kid between two and seven in your life, grandkid, kid, you know, niece, nephew, you really need to know what's going on with Vfriend Friends. All of you should go to vfriends. com/cartoons, watch our YouTube Kids show. I just turned 50. Big moment for me. Get over here. I grew up in the era where cartoons in the 80s and '9s were helping parents parent. I think that the content that the kids have now is not helping enough. I remember watching He-Man as a kid and at the end Adam, which was He-Man before he became He-Man, would look at the screen and be like, "And remember kids, be nice to your sister. " And I was like, "Oh crap, I got to be nice to my sister. " We don't have that kind of content anymore. That's what V friends is about. So, it's not only, you know, Pokemon collectible like you just saw the eBay sales, but it's got that Sesame Street that He-Man. I saw Shira in there. Um, so I don't know. I'm excited. Anyway, I'm really excited to be here. Just talk to me. — Hop in that giveaway. Get in that

giveaway. — Somebody just said you look nervous. — You're not nervous. You're excited. — Oo, I'm excited. I'm excited, — bro. Your abs. — Get in the giveaway. Super pumped. V friends in the house. Gary V. Great to see all of you. Great to see you. SD Kiru, Flip bro. Good to see you. Rips. This is where I get excited. We don't get to do pallets in our little cubby.

Even if you don't like V friends, just win the giveaway, get it, sell it on eBay, take your 700 bucks, and buy a mini pallet from them. Rips, this isn't this a flip. We flip out here. — We flip. — That's right. Out here flipping. — I'm just going to sit here and talk to the chat while you do your thing. All I want to know is what people collect, what people flip. I just want to get to know people here. Michelle Bell, good to see you. Blucky Black Hat is right. Ste, uh, great to see all of you. Uh, Barbies, I love that. Chicken Lady Sets Clothes, I love that. Jenny T, I just love this community. I I'm really excited because I think a lot of the flipping uh crew that's on here right now is really going to fall in love with the bee friends, you know, message. You know, you were talking like a mom. Like it's I just really think we have characters like Selfless Sloth, uh, which you're rocking. Show the selfless sloth. By the way, is this community ready for the quality of Vfriend's clothes? Cuz by the way, we made V friends clothes that's more like street wear, like $150 hoodies. Educate here. — Stitch work 100%. Very comfortable, very quality, the best of the best. Also, the message is more important to me personally than anything. You have to get your kids on the V friend show. in the V friends books. You have to get them out the positive life. This is the stuff. This is the next generation. This is what you need to teach them. The selfless sloth. — Susan gets a lot of love in the chat. — Yeah, they love Susan. — I love you guys. They love her. — These are my best friends. I — I get it. We were talking about this before. I get it. — They are. They're my true best friends. Wouldn't be here without any of them. — Somebody who won that. Who won that? Who won that huge box? Joe. Melissa. Big one. JOE. LET'S GO, JOE. LET'S GO, JOE. That is big. Oh, man. This is so fun. What do you guys want to do here? You guys know what to do? I'm just I'm chilling. — Are you guys down for a pallet? — They were They did 7,000 B's in the chat. — They're very down for a palette. — Are you down for a live manifested palette? — I like a live manif. These manifested palettes get me excited. — Yeah, — this couple deserves a 100 shares as soon as they go live. And I don't mean a bull crap share where you just hit it to appease them cuz you like Suz. I mean share it in your actual group text, in your Facebook groups, in your store. — Yeah. your high school fantasy football league group chat. Share it in there. Share it with like an ex-girlfriend to see like maybe you can recook it up. I mean like stuff. You know what I'm saying? — Yes. Share. — By the way, I'm never leaving this warehouse. I just want you to know I'm not flying back with you guys. This is where I live now. Yeah. You guys could run the companies. Remember Goonies the movie? Remember when Chunk talks to Sloth and he goes, "This is your home now. " That really sweet moment. That's how I feel right now. Like this is my home now. Hey you guys, I'm home. Off — the rope. — It's so true. He's being so genuine when he walked in that he was just like, "This is so cool. " — Well, you know what's so funny? I'm on this platform now and I have all this notoriety and I'm on the CNBC's and the biggest stages and biggest companies and I know where I'm at, but people don't know what I'm about. You know, I'm like to me, by the way, this warehouse is already too big of an operation. me in my soul wants to wake up tomorrow on a Saturday and literally go to a garage sale at $643 in the morning and buy something for 25. That's $6 on eBay. — That gets me more excited. On the drive here, Train was with me. We just closed a $5 million deal with one of the biggest companies in the world for my marketing firm. No, don't clap. No, no feelings. Could care less. — No feelings. Vayner Media, my company, is a $350 million a year company. No feelings or excitement. Buy a brooch of like Goofy from 1986 for 25 cents in a junk box and sell it on eBay for six bucks with all the fees and all the gas and everything. I probably lost four bucks. — Best feeling of my life. That's my life. That's who I am. — Love it. — Guys, we have socks that are going to blow your mind. This is my favorite thing they bought. I really hooked these guys up so that they could hook you guys up. Like we've got socks and good ones. They're clever. All right. Awesome. I know. I'm like I get too excited. You fully take over. I'm back here now.

— All right. I'm coming back. I missed the camera. — $100. — No, I want to follow his lead. This is his show. — $100 to Amazon. Who is that? — You know I'm buying a warehouse tomorrow, right? — Little help. — Oh, baby. — DROP BOX. YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT. BOX. — I'm going to give them a good deal. You know what's a good deal? — I am worth a lot of money. I'm THIS is a good deal. I come in this. You can come. I'm a hard worker. I've got a good brain. I already gave them a bunch of good business ideas before we went on. If you need someone to consult, I'm a great babysitter. I'm incredibly youthful and can take care of the kids. I'm coming in. We don't know WHICH PALETTE, BUT I'LL be in one of the palettes. All right, go ahead, Josh. — Free shipping. Free shipping for Gary Vee. — Free shipping. — Do you know what's so funny? Are insane. Like if you hunt fish like this time of year, winter, snow, they've got muck boots. There's muck boots. But what I don't know is like is it normal for like these are $90 $99 sweatpants. These are like kith and like palace and like rude like are people. Yeah, these are like these are all right. These are like real things. Like — who wants to resell grateful V friends joggers? uh greatful guard? — Look at this. Look. Yeah. Let's go. But these are like real things though. This is a real collab. I don't think people This is — again I don't know how many people are in like high-end resale. — These are $140 on our website. really hot. Something like — that. — This is $140. Suzan, — I don't [ __ ] — This is real stuff. — Men's wear dog's a real brand. — No, I know. If you look up men's wear dog like again this is like street wear stuff. I don't really have a good real. This is our dapper dash. Look at how sick this is. Again, I don't like Yeah, the retail prices are ridiculous, Jen. Because this is super like this is New York City, LA, Tokyo stuff, but I guess we now throw this in warehouses. Oh, not this guy. If you're competitive in here, say the word clown in the chat. No more eighth place trophies. WE'RE DONE WITH THAT ERA. Kids need to win and lose. If your kid loses, they should cry. — If you're lucky, if you're lucky enough to have a kid who cries after they lose, don't be a [ __ ] parent and say it's just a game. Cuz [ __ ] like us, it's the game is everything. I don't want to hear it's just a game. Life is a game. All right, here's the biggest part of the show. I need you to pay attention. These, the little versions, the minis, we sell for 18 bucks on our show. These have not caught secondary heat. Ironically, the t Well, we never sell them, but randomly once in a while, like even though they should be a 50 or $100 collectible, they go for like eight or nine bucks on eBay. First of all, you should clean up the ones that are just running around. Uh, by the way, Colin's very proud of you. Colin's proud of you cuz he knows it's a big moment. Colin knows what this means. Anyway, this is the one that you want to just get from us and just put in a warehouse for 5 years and let me cook because when the practical peacock by the way a lot of you need to give this probably to your husband. Too many husbands out here not practical. If your husband's a dope say dope. Um, the practical. Look at I love these. W Look at this. Look at them. They're like dope. They're just loving this. Look at the ladies. I like you lady. Look at this. Oh, it's that big dope. Emily's like my husband's a big ass dope. I love it. What is this? — You know what this is? — I This is I know what this is. This is If I wear this, I'm straight pimping. I'm telling you what this is. This is If I wear this. If — I mean, if I'll tell you what this is. If I'm wearing it, — husbands are in trouble. That's what this is. Especially the dopey ones that just got called out cuz I'm no dope. — I'm sweet and funny and I make straight paper rips. Paper. — All right, that's in there, too. One of the most popular characters in our entire universe. The willful magic. Love it. — The genuine giraffe. I was uh Yeah, I told Gary that uh back in what, like 1920, 2019, 2020 on ladders, power washing, painting. And if that's the Colin that I think it is, you know this to be true. true because you came to the one keynote. He came to the keynote. We woke up at 3:30. We drove to a keynote right outside of DC. Yeah. — Uh genuine giraffe. I was just thinking

Gary, — I love what you've done. I'm so proud of you, too. I love this community. The community you've fostered. Like, the people in here are so sweet. Like, the way they're talking, it's just a it's a really nice little universe. And honestly, I I'm a big believer that you find what you're looking for in life. Like, if you want to find negativity, you can find it. You can turn on the mainstream news, your feed can find it. But if you want to find happiness, you can find it, too. What we do at V Friends, we have a big saying at V Friends, strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends, friends become family. — And what I see here is a family, — right? This is a family. — And so I know that and I see that and I just believe that all of you should be very proud that you have found each other here. First of all, the positive vibes, Suz, what you guys have done is it's positive, but then on top of it, people are being entrepreneurial as well. What attracted me to this is when I go in and watch your show, I see the community being very positive, but it's also business, right? There's a lot of hustlers in here. They are — buying these pallets from you. Then they're working hard, right? They're getting a pallet. They break it down. They're selling it on eBay or on Facebook Marketplace or on whatnot. My admiration for the thousand of you that are in this room. My admiration um is very high. people that are spending positivity because there's other shows on the platform that are trying to do P, but I see a lot of negativity. People are trashing on each other. They're [ __ ] on the host because the hosts are like doing blind things and it's not working. But the positivity, but then also the entrepreneurship this show, we got a winner. — That's $100 on Forge. — MANDY, — let's go Mandy. — Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless. — It's a absolutely right. One of my favorite quotes. Um, you changed my life in 2017. Flip challenge. See, feels good. How many people here discovered me or listened to me on the flip challenge in 2017? — Say 2017 in the chat. Anyway, I just I'm almost done with my rant. I just am really proud of all the people in here that have gotten to know each other — and bring all this positivity and the fact that it's like positivity and cheering everyone up and building everyone up. And then on top of it, there's commerce. You know, there's people really working. Like to me, I came from a I was born in the Soviet Union. I lived in a studio apartment in Queens as a kid. We had nothing. And watching my parents work every day and then I worked every day. Really, starting at 14, I really worked every day actually. Um I just really admire people that are willing to choose positivity um and willing to put in the work. And I feel like a lot of uh I feel like I you in here. So, thank you. I'm happy to be here. If you want to understand why we think we're different, imagine buying this for your four-year-old, putting it on their desk, and then a year later, they're like, cuz they love it, but "Mommy, what's being the bigger person? " You want to talk about one of the biggest issues in our society right now is people's inability to be the bigger person. Absolutely. — We're so triggered by someone seeing something different than the way we see it. Someone disagreeing how we see life. as if the world should run the way we think. The audacity to think that every American or human should see life the way you see it. Our inability to be the bigger person in the face of hate. — Ah yeah, I love the cartoons friends. We're teaching. Anyway, we got be the bigger person. What else do which other character do we have? I mean, honestly, if you've got a dopey husband, you need to buy him a common sense cow. You got — This is what I did my whole life. This is how I carried wine cases. This is how my left glute gave out. I was too and This is why I have a bad back for 30 years. This is how I carried everything. And you can see my left glute is elevated and that's where I got Oh, MOCK BOOTS. WE'VE GOT MUK BOOTS. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SELL MUK boots the whole time. I mean, FORGET V FRIENDS. WE GOT MUK BOOTS. HOW MANY OF THE 181 ARE GOING IN? ALL OF THEM. — GO. — WE MANIFEST. WE MANIFEST AROUND HERE. THIS IS LITERALLY one of the great moves of all time. You get a bunch of how you get four of You get five of these in the manifest. You get them. YOU CUT OUT THE CAT. You walk around and start a new trend with sweatpants with a patch on it. — Let's go. — Some people will show their upper thigh. Some people wear boxers. You'll see a little boxers. It's that whole look. You get 30 on the BAY FOR THE PATCH. And then you just It's unbelievable. Like the Can they see? Can they see it? Do they see the stitch? Like these were made by Ben Oennic on my team who makes $350 like Brooklyn cool kids clothes.

This isn't some [ __ ] PRIVATE LABEL FROM TARGET. YES. — THIS IS NOT [ __ ] Private label Target. — You don't throw this. — THIS IS JAPAN [ __ ] CORNER STORE HIGH-END. — If you're not grateful, you're nothing. This is the grateful gar. If you're a fisherman, you know what the gar This is beautiful. These shirts are beautiful. — I don't buy pallets at that comfort of vibes. As you should, Bram Flake. That's amazing. OHIO — 500 IN THE ROOM. — OHIO THRIFTERS. OHIO THRIFTERS WITH THE BIG RAIN. THERE IT IS. The genuine giraffe signed going in the manifest. — 100 people ring. — Parents, get ready. You want to show real balance to your kids. This is the eager eagle. Cuz it's amazing to be eager and go for it. But on the other foot, the patient pig. The number one issue with parenting in the last 30 years is that we've not taught balanced. We've overcoddled. You've got to find the middle. Eagerness and patience can be balanced. Your kid could be a go-getter, but you can also teach them patience. Both work. The middle, this pair will teach your kids when they look down at their feet, they realize, I got to go for it, but I've got to be patient and not insecure. This is massive. THIS IS AMAZING. WE MANIFEST PALLETS. This is unbelievable. You just got me so hyped. Competitive clown. One of the most important characters in Befriend Friends. We need to teach our kids to be more competitive, not less. We've completely lost our way with this. It's not just a game for a winner. If you're lucky enough to have A KID, ACTUALLY, CHAT, KID WHO CRIES when they lose, say, "My kid cries," I just need all of you to hear this. If your kid cries when they lose, congratulations. You birth the winner. I need everyone to hear this. Can you fix the chat to somebody? If you birthed a kid who cries, congratulations. You birthed the winner. And please do not take it out of them. In fact, I never get involved in like I talk about parenting a lot, but I never tell people how to parent. But my son's baseball team when he 5 years ago lost a game and one of the kids was crying. I was very close to the parents. So, I felt comfortable doing this thing I shouldn't have done because I could see they were walking kind of like walking towards their son as we just lost this game three to two. And I could see they were ready to go in for the don't worry, it's just a game. Let's go get a Sunday. Let me cuddle you into being a loser. And soon as I did this, they were walking right here was a dad. He was walking. He was walking and I cut him, got in there and got in front of the kid and I was like, "Good for you. — This sucks. This is the worst day ever. — Feel it. Feel that pain forever. Let it so you become a monster. — Yeah. — Look at that competitive clown. — I'm head first into THIS PALLET. THIS PALETTE is nuts. That's going to make this palette go. That's smart. Uh-huh. Give this to your winner, kid. Stanley. — Stanley. Here's the preview for my 2026 pillars. Number one, forgiveness. I need all of you to learn that forgiving someone who did horrible things to you is the greatest thing you could ever do for yourself. So forgiveness is going to be a huge pallet. Forgiveness is huge. Here's the other pillar. One of the biggest mistakes everyone's making is we aren't acting childish enough. — That's a bomb, Sus. That's a bomb. Go ahead. Say you wanted to say something. I we talk about all the time especially Justin Justin's energy. Uh people are like you know how do you handle my like I would want my husband to know have no other heart besides a childish 100%. — I% I believe one of the biggest issues for everyone watching right now is you're not tapping into your childness enough. One of the reasons I love whatnot and you can see I'm being silly. How many people didn't know who I am, see me jumping around here and being crazy, just Googled me and looked at my Wikipedia and looked up my net worth and fainted and said, "What the hell's going on here? " How many people did that? How many people just did that math? — Oh, there's going to be a lot. I know what people do. Um, guilty. Thank you, black hat. Could you imagine? Can you imagine watching this, seeing what I'm doing, then go look up me up and be like, "Wait a minute. This is a real person. Like, guy. " — Yes. Um anyway, never growing up. Uh debreed. I'm just an entrepreneur. You know, I think and that's the key, right? Like humility, the humble hedgehog, and the humble hummingbird are such be big factors here. Um it's such a big factor. Leaning into humility, youthful childlike energy, and the ability to forgive. So many of you have

deep resentment against your ex-wife and husband. deep resentment against a boss, friend who sees the world different politically, deep issues with a mom or dad, an uncle. And by the way, some of you had real rough childhoods. Some of you, God, God forbid, had real stuff. You know, forget about even having an alcoholic parent or a deadbeat dad. It could get even worse than that. I've lived. I know. But I'm telling you right now, your ability to forgive because you realize they were hurt makes you strong, changes your life. Please. — Forgiving yourself. — Well, that's number one. — So hard. — And let me teach you how to forgive yourself. This is going to blow your mind. Ready? I'm going to actually change someone's life right here on the spot. The reason you should forgive yourself right away right now is because everyone else sucks, too. — True. — Serious. I am I'm pretty awesome. — I'm nice. My, by the way, when I talk about myself, it's all credit to my mom. I'm nothing. This is everything I'm about to say is the work of Tamara Vaynerchuk. I'm nice. I'm kind. I'm a gentleman. I'm sweet. I make it fun. I take care of my family. I do all the right stuff. I'm a good human. I'm a good businessman. I care about my community. I do right stuff. — And I have many things wrong with me. I'm a human. — Everybody else sucks, too. I struggled with cander, believe it or not, with this energy. I struggled giving people critical feedback. I have 200 employees right now. I have people right now that I should fire and I'm struggling with it. Uh — oh. — Yeah. Rips. Honestly, it's been really good working with you. Look, look how sweet this kid's face is. — 2,000 people. — Yep. Yep. This is what's happening. It's happening now. — You've been promoted. — YAY. TO HEAD OF the warehouse — to head of warehouse to assistant warehouse cook. You're the assistant warehouse cook. — You have another cook. I'm the assistant. — All right, everybody. I'm glad you needed this today house. I might have to create a new V friend. I haven't created a new one in many years. We might need a manifesting mongoose. — I'm building the next Pokemon. I'm Walt Disney right here in the flesh. I'm building the next huge intellectual property universe of madeup characters, but they're grounded in good stuff. Patient panda, empathy elephant, right? Warm Wolverine, practical peacock, competitive clown. Now, we're not we're warm and fuzzy, but we're not pushovers and [ __ ] We've got accountable ant. We've got competitive clown. We got my favorite, tenacious termite. — Uh-huh. Pal. — Gary Ski. You think I'M GARY VEE? I'M GARY SKI. — You're going to be the most successful. — Rate of 114 from Hley. — Nicest skier in the world. Thank you, Beauty. Thank you. — Shh. This is the greatest palette ever sold on whatnot's history. — Let's go. — This is Shh. Everyone, everyone say shh in the chat. Everyone say sh. ever sold in the history of whatnot. — Peaceful palette. Let's go. — This is the peaceful pallet. Rips, look what I'm doing. This is what nobody understands. Rips, show the Christy's auction. — You guys don't understand. I'm one of the great contemporary ARTISTS OF OUR TIME. According to my mother. However, you do not understand what just happened here. Rips is going to do some homework. I have sold original doodle art at Christy's auction house. I want them to know. — Oh yeah, you guys don't know, do you? — You have no idea who you're talking to. — Used — 1. 2 million — for five million. — 250 grand per. — Congrats to who won. — I'm pickle. — Can you pick them? — One pickle. — I just need you to know this is now because of this the greatest palette ever. Literally, you cut this out, frame it, and you can sell it for real money. What's the date? I want to make this official. What's the date? — 11:2125. — Look how clever what I did. I put the date on the pig's body. That is the patient pig. Rips, pull up some patient pig sold items. Sort by, you know how on eBay. I need them to understand. Friends, we are doing things that have never been done here before. We all got quiet and accepted and respected. This is the greatest palette of all time. I'm telling you, I'm literally in front of you building the next Pokemon. Imagine if you 100% knew that Pokemon was going to be Pokemon in n in 2002. You would have done well.

This is crazy. — I can't wait to read a headline in like 25 years like man sells cardboard Gary Vee art. — Nobody's even going to know. And then someone's GONNA FIND THIS VIDEO AND BE LIKE, "THAT CAME FROM A [ __ ] WAREHOUSE SALE. " THE PALLET, IT WAS SUE. It was [ __ ] Sue. — Okay. — Ready today. — Rips. I need a warehouse. — Multiple warehouses. — Yes. And there's never been prints in a pallet. — Flip Rose is IN THE LEAD. — ANOTHER PAIR OF MUCKS. ANOTHER MUK. — THIS IS — LOOK AT this going in. — Flip Rose. You can sell these for $4,700 if you time it right. Congratulate. Hey, let's clap it up for Flip Bros. — Flip Bros. — Flip Bros is a premiier shop on whatnot. — Moms who have Pokémon collectors, the characters with Pokemon, you don't necessarily know. But as soon as you see this, like if you have a daughter in your life and she falls in love with the Fearless Ferry and your daughter is Fearless, she's never going to date a [ __ ] bozo. All right, that's the Fearless Ferry. There's the very lucky black hat. There's the decisive duck. And this is funny. My niece's favorite character. My cute little six-year-old niece. Who's her favorite character? Confident Cobra. Uh-oh, GUYS. YEAH. LET'S [ __ ] GO, MY MAN. OH MY GOD. I'm moving here. I live here now. Rips. This is where I live. I live in the Carolinas. That's it. Giving is giving. You don't do nice things with expectation. People say I have a saying. I want everyone to hear this. I have a very big saying. In fact, I'm thinking about starting a clothing brand. The saying is nice guys finish first. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Hold on. You see where I'm going? Nice guys finish first. Now, listen. I know all of you [ __ ] think nice guys finish last. And so a lot of people like, "Gary, you don't get it. You're wrong. Nice guys don't finish first. I'm nice, but I always get walked all over. " I ask people, "Are you getting walked all over? Or were you trying to manipulate someone? " They're like, "Gary, I did all this stuff and no one never did anything for me. " Did you actually do something for someone or did you do something in return? I get when I talk about going to a new city, I get a thousand emails that say, "Hey, I want to do something nice for you. I'd love to drive you from the airport — train. " That's what they say to me. "Hey, Gary, I'd love to drive you from the airport. " — Mhm. — What they're really saying is like, "Hey, Gary, I want to drive you to the airport so I can get some therapy, some life advice, some business advice, or can I pitch you my business? " Mhm. — I'd rather pay the hundred bucks and have some quiet and catch up on work. You know how I do a train? — Oh, definitely not. — So, they're not being nice. They're trying to manipulate the situation. Friends, if you're doing something, expecting someone to do something in return for you. Are you nice or are you a manipulator? You know what's so crazy? We were so ghetto. My dad didn't even have a pallet thing. We used to break down the case and carry and have a hand truck with four items. I'm a Do you have a hand truck around here? I'm a hand truck guy. Pallets are easy. He's soft with a pallet. — Honestly, I think who understands what I'm saying? Who grew up in an environment like I did hard labor in your teens where you didn't even have the pallet? You actually had to break down the pallets and [ __ ] do the forklift. I was a for do the hand truck. Excuse me. I'm a hand truck [ __ ] I'm a hand truck. I was a skinny little [ __ ] It was hard. You know what's crazy about this though is this IP is gonna be a It's not like a normal like Nike or Outdoor Voice. it that the product is going to be a collectible, too. Has anybody started watching here, did a little homework on me, went to my Instagram, and were like, "Oh, wait a minute. I've needed this guy for a while. " Like, you're mad that you didn't know me earlier. Say mad in the chat, everybody. Who here saw a piece of my content in your life and it changed the course of your life? You broke up with someone, you quit your job, you started something new. If I changed your life with one piece of content last 20 years, say changed. I want everybody who doesn't even know who I am to see what they're about to see. If you don't if you want to know why I get up every morning and make another piece of content, like for example, one thing I'm talking a lot about next year, like I said earlier, forgiveness. Tapping into your youthful childish energy. Um, you know, to me that really matters quite a bit. Forgiveness is a big one. — Yeah. — If you're mad at yourself right now, if you're actually hurting, like you're actually mad at yourself, like you you're mad at yourself, say mad at myself. Say that in the chat. I want to have a second with you. I get it. Arise tale. Somebody said, "I thought you were Tai Lopez. " I know my energy is weird at first and people are like, "Wait a minute. " Actually, how many people here who love me? Actually, let's finish. Mad at yourself. Hey everybody, if you're mad at yourself, you've got this completely wrong. Please go look at my latest post. Well, actually, here's a big one. — Live within your means. You can be making a h 100,000 but living a $30,000 lifestyle and you have options. You could be making 350,000 a year and living a $500,000 a year lifestyle and you have no options. We do not talk

about spending enough. Everybody has different versions of golden handcuffs. — So, there's that. Ah, here we go. — A lot of you, you're 23, 24, 25, and you have to fix it for yourself. Who gives a [ __ ] if you're losing when you're in college? You got 80 [ __ ] years to stick it to them, bro. Not a loser. You're currently losing. — And that's it, friends. — So true. — It's so real. — Yeah. Please, please, please, please follow Gary Vee. Please come and hang out with me if you want positivity and practicality. If you want to get a real boost every day of real life stuff, you don't need to be tired of losing. Also, when you're losing, you get to judge if you're losing. Let me give you an example. If you're in debt in this room right now, you're in debt. You live paycheck to paycheck. You're in debt. But you're a nice person. You open the door for a grandma at the supermarket. You smile at people at the airport. you you call and check in on your friends. You're a much bigger winner than my millionaire friends. I want to know if you're someone that's in debt, but you can honestly say that you're a good human being. I view you as a winner. You might view yourself as a loser cuz we live in this ridiculous materialistic financial world that is [ __ ] You're a winner. If you're one of those people and you just had an aha. aha, you're like, "Wait a minute. He's right. I want you to say, "Aha. " — Mhm. — That's it. Wild Time Smoke. You're not a loser. You're currently That That's what I'm here for. for as Gary Vee, which cost you nothing. That's what Vfriend Friends is here for. Cost you nothing. If you never buy a single Vfriend Friends trading card, collectible hat, it makes me just as happy if you become the biggest collector in the history of my Disney Marvel Pokemon that I'm building. That I don't care about. I'm building my own thing. I'm building that thing. I'd love you part of the ride financially or not financially. Please get on board with this be friends movement. I'm really excited about it. So, when somebody shits on you and treats you bad, the right way to answer is to be the bigger person. Everyone should buy one of these and give it to the person in the family that pisses them off for not being able to be the big the whoever you most fight with in your like if your sister's like if you're always fight Can you imagine buying this for a family member and they open it and they're like what the [ __ ] that would be so epic. That's so good. And real talk I'm going to actually get very deep right now. And if you really act Let me just get in here with you. And if you actually want to have a good life and you want to be happier every day and wake up with no pressure on your chest, in fact, you should buy this for yourself. — Your person is the only one that's sold out. I got I can be listened. — It's the actual one that you should buy for yourself because one of the biggest reasons so many of you are unhappy right now. Who would say that they're between neutral in life right now energy-wise and spiritually too unhappy? like they're struggling, they're miffed, they're they're it's awkward, like they're you know, they're this is why I talk about this stuff, Suz. Here's a huge one. You know, Katherine, you know, it's hard to be a single like friends, it's okay. It's normal. That's called life. — Yeah. — But I'm going to be I'm going to give you a little bit of tough love. Some of you need to do this. Here's how I thought about this toy when I invented it. I feel like if this is on your counter on your in your kitchen, in your bedroom, in your office, when you look at it, when someone's pissing you off on a business deal or you're having one of the reasons so many of you are unhappy is you hold resentment. Resentment is poison. It doesn't matter anymore what your daddy did. when your boss did wrong by you. You're a grown-up now. You are capable of hanging around good people. going to therapy if you could afford it. You are capable of following I'm not the only one out there sending real good messages and positivity. You're capable your al let me blow your mind everyone. Your algorithm you know how people blame their algorithm. Well social media is making me depressed. — Your algorithm is exposing you. My algorithm is trading cards comic books the New York Jets sunshine rainbows happy people random acts of kindness. If your feed is politicians scaring you all day, that's on you. — Yeah, — very true, actually. Very true. — Your algorithms didn't change you, my friends. Your algorithms have exposed you, my friends. So, back to what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to put positivity in the world. Common sense cow. Some of you need to Here's a good one. Who here has 10 employees or more? Say 10 plus. Who here has a business or is a manager who has 10 employees or more? Put 10 plus whether you're a manager or you own a business. So rips everybody who's I think this is a great gift for your employees. Every

company gets better when they become less political and less corporate and become more common sense. Train, you were on the company when I have 200 employees. We had a 2500 person Zoom. What did I say? We need to be less of a corporation and more of a common sense community — like the cat. — So, here's a fun one. That's a good gift. — If I'm a boss, I'm buying 10 of these. Merry Christmas. Stop being a dope. Suz, you were really caught off guard. You saw some of your dear friends in here that you think are purely light and happy say they're depressed. You just saw it. — Well, let me tell you why that's happening. They need to lean into this one. — Yes. — We need to be more genuine. you. Camille says, "You're my algorithm, Gary. " I like that. Everybody follow Gary Vee and like six random posts on my Instagram and you'll see me. Uh, can't afford it. Murray Brook 873. I'm giving this to you. Give me a marker. Murray Brook 873. You guys got that? — Y. — Not only am I doing that, Murray Brook. Murray Brook 873. I'm signing this for you. This is going to you, Murray Brook. you. Merry Christmas. We love, bro. She's always in our chat. She's always supporting. — Well, guess what? Now she hung around at the right time and got the right gift. — I love it. Oh, the heart. — You like that little heart on the sign. — Anyway, genuine giraffe. Let me tell you another reason a lot of you are not happy or hurting or not in the best spot. You ready? Watch this one, Suz. You're going to like this one. You're not willful enough. You quit. — Yeah. You know, I'm going to be a big whatnot seller like these two. And you do four shows, you have eight viewers, and you quit. — Yeah. — So, you know why I want people to buy this one? I want them to put this directly. You know where one? Literally right at their door. You know how a lot of people at their door have their keys in a little thing? You put this wizard. Let them look at you when you walk out for the day to remind you to stop being a puss, — to stop quitting, to will your way through everything, to be a wizard. Yeah, my friends, yes, I'm trying to build a big, you know, Disney, Sesame Street, Marvel company, but I have meaning behind these characters. Meaning, — one of the biggest questions we get asked a lot is they're, especially when it comes to live selling because we talk about how much live selling is the future and how much we believe in it. Yes. — They're scared. They don't like themselves enough to get on camera. They're scared to turn on the camera. There's there was a lady tonight. Yeah. Go ahead. — My Amazon cart is filled with all my supplies, but I just won't purchase it for some reason. What do you tell somebody like that? Don't go on camera. Use your hands. — There you go. Sell without using your face. — I don't, my friends. I'm not here for excuses. — Sparkle, sunshine, anxiety took me over, of course, because people are worried about what their neighbors are going to think. They worry what their sister's going to think. They're going to worry about what someone at work thinks. — Everyone here is stuck in sixth grade. We still think it's sixth grade. You grade? Steely, good to see you. Like, everyone's stuck in everything in life because they're worried about opinions of people. This is so insane. You are living your life based on the opinions of people that you often don't even like and you definitely don't want to be like. What? — What did I just say? — Yeah, — let me just say that again. — That's golden. You are literally living your life based on the opinions of people you often don't like — and definitely people you don't want to be like. — Loser. You know, misery loves company is one of the great sayings in society. A lot of people here are not jumping because somebody at their office or somebody in their family, their cousin is telling them they can't. You're going to fail. You're not like Gary Vee. You're not good enough. And the reason that person's saying it is they're scared that their loser cousin is actually going to get themselves out of the mud and they're going to be the only one stuck in the mud. Pay attention to who's talking to you. giving you that advice. And people love to I saw somebody said they're just jealous and envy. When people are jealous and envious towards me, I'm not mad at them. I feel bad for them. When someone says that I'm a scam artist or I suck or V friends is going to fail in the comments of my content, I'm not mad at them. I feel sad for them that they take time to go around. Could you imagine? And if you're one of these people, you stop now. Actually, you know what? This is going to be I'm going in the manifesting box for this. This is going to be one of my favorite pieces of content. I'm telling you right now. Start like that, by the way, on the clip. We're going to stop this right now. If you are a person that has ever left a negative comment to someone on social media, you're ugly. Who the hell do you

think you are? You're crap. I don't like you. You're full of this. If you're a person, and politics is out there, so don't [ __ ] me. If you're a person that has left a negative comment on someone else's post before, say that's me in the chat. I want you to own it. [ __ ] own it. It's going to be everyone. And a lot of people I've never done. I see some people. Okay. I really first of all I really appreciate this from everyone right here right now you are making the commitment to never if you if it's a person that most you disagree with on earth you hate what they said you will not contribute to the hate anymore you will never post something negative towards another person on the internet again say I'm committed in the chat right now and you can leave that in the chat of my Instagram post say I'm committed. Look at this. Look at all his commitment. — Now, I'm going to blow your mind. Your life just got way better. It's so real. If you walk into the darkness and you contribute to the darkness, you are the darkness. — No. Gary, you don't get it. They're wrong. I'm just helping real quick. I'm gonna just [ __ ] on them. Get the [ __ ] out of here. — You're wrong. I've been doing this social media thing for 20 plus years. I've never spent one second ever leaving a negative comment in my life because I have love and confidence in my heart. Yeah, mental health is very real. Sparkle sunshine. You know how I do everything? Do you know why I'm going to build the biggest thing since Disney is cuz I've got nothing but good mental health. I'm happy. I'm kind. I care about others. I want everyone to win. If somebody else builds the next Pokemon, Pudgy Penguins, Board Ape Yacht Club, um any, you know, uh somebody just bought Metazoo and they might do it better than the last group. Any other startup that's out there, I'm happy for them. Let me give you a real secret. No one else's happiness and success is coming from yours. abundant. Not one other person's money and happiness. Them selling unlimited pallets does not stop you from selling unlimited pallets. Success and happiness is abundant. It is not a rarity. All right, man. I came to Carolina to [ __ ] preach and cook. I preached and cooked. Hold on to this for 10 years and let your grandkids kiss your face for being a genius. Hold on to this for 10 years and let ME COOK. I'M BUILDING IT. I'M WALT DISNEY. I'm modernday Walt Disney. Do you understand? Look at his face. Rips. These people didn't live when Walt Disney was just walking around. He was a man. He was just a man. — Died 60 years ago. — He was just a man. He was just walking around. People saw him. Your grandma. Who here has a grandma that told them a story of meeting Walt Disney? Like maybe they met him at Disney World? Maybe somebody in here has that story. I'm just a man — here. — I'm just a man. — Blue-eyed book lover said. — Yeah, there you go. — Oh, wow. — Yeah, I'm just a man, but I'm a man that's about to build V friends where every one of your grandkids are going to wear V friends pajamas in 30 years. Wild Smoke, we don't have wholesale for V friends just yet. A little bit. And by the way, I may not achieve it. I may not get there. But here's the thing, friends. You have to make your dreams bigger. It's my dream and I'm going to try and I'm capable. And if I don't get there when I'm 97 and you watch me on social, I'll be like this. — $500 Amazon. — I'm like, "Hey everyone, it's me, Gary, Granny V. I'm old now. " — And I didn't And I There we go. Fearless. And I didn't get there. V friends is the 79th biggest IP. I didn't get there. But first, here's love to everyone who did get there. And two, — give away. — I'm happy I tried. — Yes, — I tried. — And people, how do I do it? Do you know every step of the way right now? — I don't know anything. — BUT YOU'RE STILL — I KNOW NOTHING. — YOU'RE STILL TRYING. — But I know everything. I know nothing. that if I try, if I have good intent, if I lean into my skills, I also know that for 30 years I've been building things. I built Gary Vee. I'm more proud of building Gary Vee than being Gary Vee. Gary Vaynerchuk created Gary Vee. Gary Vee is, you know, it's me, but like what I mean is I was the architect of my content of building my awareness of navigating my moves. So anyway, I'm just so happy all of you got to hear this today because a lot of you needed to hear this today. Honestly, I want to teach every parent here how to raise a boy the way my mom raised me. It's all love. Nice guys finish last, but don't push me in the corner. I'll slice your throat. Don't mess with my family. It does go dark real quick

hero. That's the Jersey in me. It's like men have to be men. Let's not get confused out here. I have very many socially liberal points of views, but sometimes when my friends are a little too out there, I'm like, you're mad at men. Like, oh, masculinity is so bad. Burglar comes in the house. All of a sudden, dude with the tattoo DRINKING [ __ ] BUD LIGHT with a bow and arrows. You're [ __ ] god. — Honestly, dude with the tattoo jacked out at the bar. Probably the first one to stand up — 100%. — We're out here yelling at dudes. Dudes, protect this [ __ ] house. — Mhm. — So true, — right? Comic says, "I'm a guy with a bow and arrow. " I want that guy to be my homie, — you know? So, listen, like anything in life, you don't want it to go too far. dude that just bow and arrowing people that are nice people bad — bow and arrowing an intruder good right that's the balance you know what's so funny all of us are like we don't believe but all of us that don't believe in zombies and aliens and uh who are like talking right now talking all that trash if one of those things show up we're dead cuz we weren't prepared fix the chat we weren't prepared oh [ __ ] I got to go catch a plane thank you everyone for being here I will see you soon — be V. — Yeah. — Follow these guys and watch them load up the manifesting pallets with the stuff.
