REMEMBER WHEN MICHAEL JORDAN PLAYED BASEBALL? | DAILYVEE 260

- Do you know how many people I think here should quit their job, take another job that pays them less, sell their home, go rent an apartment that's shittier. 'Cause no one walks outside and be like, "Yo, sold my fuckin' house! Going to rent an apartment now! " (rap music) ("Three O' Five" by Jakc) - Good to see you. How have you been? - [Man] Australia. - [Gary] Yes, we're doing it. - [Man] So the Melbourne Cup is their big horse race, and the country shuts down, and views overlapping, and they said it... - [Gary] Dude that will lose. We will not! We won't lose! - [Man] You're good but you're not that good. - [Gary] 100%! I totally get it. - Good to see you, man. - Good to see you! - How was the flight? - It was good! I was dead. AJ had his baby last night! ("Three O' Five" by Jakc) - [Man 2] Yeah, I could certainly decipher it, but you know, I think we... - I mean, when you only get two hours of fucking sleep. By the way, real quick, while I've got all of you. I sleep six to seven hours. It's not how much I sleep, it's what I do when I'm awake. I just wanna say it over and over, 'cause so many people are like, "Do you sleep, do you sleep? " I fuckin' sleep. Last night, I didn't sleep because obviously the amazing news with AJ, and then I had to wake up so early to get to Atlanta. But when I don't sleep I've got to do, like... You know what's crazy? I already have the natural like, dark eyes. Like my family has that. And then like, I'm just like, so you know, - [DRock] Compounds. Yeah I'm just like everyone's like, "You need to sleep, looks terrible when you hustle! " There's plenty of people that hustle that look beautiful. - [DRock] Are there? - Yeah, me! You're looking at one! I mean, there's nothing I like more than what I'm about to do. As much as I love running a business, you know, everything, that feeling is insane. This will be more about how I got to the place of being an owner-- - Cool! - of the agency. Like more of like, "Why are you sitting here? " Or it's all about work ethic, really. - Yes. - It's very interesting, I was just talking with him about it. So many people. Like I use motivation. I get it from sports, hip hop, I get it from other places, but people get it, like you've got to be careful of not making it the only... - [Rob] Got your clothes on? (Gary laughs) - We went to college together. [Woman] Oh wow! - Rob. - [Rob] How you doing? Nice to meet you. - [Man 2] Now we all (mumbles). Didn't know you went to college. - Mickey. (laughter) - I'm Chris. - Nice to meet you. - [Man 2] You went to college? - Let me know. Let's talk on email before. - [Woman] Nice meeting you. - Such a pleasure. Have a great time. - [Man 3] Thanks for taking pictures. ` (low-key hip hop music) - Send me an email on that. I'll send it out to you. (Gary laughs) I love this guy! You're gonna love this. I'm gonna turn off my mic. - Where did you guys go to school with legal inspectors? - Please tell him. Please, once and for all, please set the record straight. Please help everybody understand what I really navigated through. Can you please tell them? - It was six months, not even, five months of a bunch of people that shouldn't be together at one time. - You're talking about 301 right now? - I'm talking 301, I'm talking about the whole school. (laughing) Had people that didn't deserve to be in college. at a gym. Didn't deserve, they were-- - To be in society. - Yes. They were in dorm rooms. - Mickey, I'm telling you... - Kids who just did the mixture... - Who was in charge of admissions at this point? At the school (mumbles) - Dude, I don't think that you understand, do you know how I got into Mt. Ida College? I got a postcard in the mail and I filled it out. - That's how I got in. (laughter) - March of my senior year is like what are we doing with college? I'm like mom, college, you knew that the process starts sophomore year of high school. She looks at me she goes, "You're going to fucking college. " I'm like fuck. - No SATs. It's one of those schools. - Yeah, no no, Moose, please tell my friend Chris here how many... what percentage of kids on that campus do you think spent time in jail? Start with that number. - Before or after they got there? - In life. - It was like yeah, it was very interesting. (group laughter) Characters. They shouldn't... - [Chris] Smoky the bear. - They really shouldn't, have no business... - Truly, literally from the first day, you want to talk about chemistry. - My first day of college, I walked in hated it. I went in three days late because they had the ice cream social and all this other crap. So I didn't show up on time, I'm not going to ice cream social. (Gary lauhgs) So it was like, I go into my dorm room and I look on

my bed and this guy's laying on my bed, he's all up on my bed. And at that time I wasn't the happiest person. (group laughter) Try to go to school and trying to be cool, you know. And I see this guy on my bed and I was like, "God! " (group laughter) What is going on here? And I'm looking at him, he's not moving. (group laughter) I'm like what, okay. And I look at my roommate, who got a... - You got to understand his roommate. Black kid, like rapper. Like has a bat. (laughter) Like... - Yeah, yeah. - Where's Steve Rat from? - He's from, it's a-- - You remember? - [Man 4] Gary, we had a saying in college... - Westbury. - [Man 4] Which was admit nothing, deny everything, and immediately make counter accusations. - Yeah, listen, that's fine except this was a school where like a person will stab you. (group laughter) Like it wasn't... Like this is not Virginia. Like this is... (group laughter) - [Chris] There's so many stories... (laughter) you hear it from... - [Man 4] I'm just saying, I'm saying like take that... - Our one friend got kicked out of school. How many pounds of weed he had in his room? - Not that much. Like three or four pounds. (Gary laughs heartily) - More than I've ever seen in my life. - You have to understand that answer. Like Nick Dio's talking about like I had an ounce on me. He had four pounds of weed. I'm sitting in a room, playing Super Star Wars on Super NES. And the cops are coming, and I'm like... He'll tell you, I never did a single piece of drugs in my entire life. These guys would sit in a room like this, fucking smoke forty blunts to the head. Never wavered. - Never. There was no over under. - [Man 2] Wait, so the cops came in? - Wasn't going to happen. - I got out. Cops came in. - Wait so you have to pause the game. - I mean we were doing crazy shit. We were like, we were putting 30 packs of Bud Light through the window. Remember we were doing so much shit, but like everybody did that. The extra element was fifty percent of the kids went to jail in their lives. That's a different element. - [Man 3] Yeah. - Like most people went to college with nobody they know went to jail. Like they don't know a single person that went. And these... - [Man 3] Or it's like a night in jail. - Yeah, and people went to jail for battery, burglary, attempted murder. - [Man 3] It's not just... Like people didn't go to jail for DUI. - [Man] For weed. - What else is funny? - All kinds of things. He would break people in the craps games... - Oh. - This guy didn't like to lose. They didn't have that much money. - This is a real story. - [Man 4] And you beat him? - All the time. And 'til it got to the point where they didn't like it. (laughter) - And one night... - You got to tell the rest of the one night. - One night they came to get me. (indistinct chatter) - Thank you. - They were mad. - What do you think... - Butter cue? - Yes. And what do you think I was going to do to defend myself? Zero. - [Man 4] You weren't in Mike and uh... - Forget about shape, even if I was in this shape there was nothing I was doing to these guys. - That's crazy. (Gary laughs) Maybe like that? - Back then you were a monster. You had pecs. Uh. And yeah man, there was some... You know something we played a football game. First of all, we were ridiculous. We became this pack, 301, right. We were in this dorm. And we walked around school, you got to understand it's the second day of like normal school. To Moose's point, first three days or whatever. Second day of normal school and we're walking like fifteen guys deep. And we're like, we're a crew. - Right... (group laughter) - [Chris] Undergraduate probably like 5,000, less? - What's that? - 5,000 undergraduates, right? - Less, right? - Yeah, it was small. - 2,000 maybe, 3,000. Anyways, we're walking around, we're walking to the cafeteria like 301! Like real ridiculous, right? But like other people didn't like it. So what did that lead to? We had to have a football game to settle the score! When I tell you the entire school knew about this game. - Whole school! Went to watch this organized game of Malloy Hall versus Brown Hall. Right? So we play the game. (laughs) This is the best story! We're playing-- - The Ambulance Game? - Oh, right. Early on, somebody got hurt, or was that how it ended? - That was in the middle. - Yeah, anyway-- - Cross-eyed Chris! (group laughter) He kept a mess a game. - Yes, the replacements! That's what it was! We're playing, I come in for a play, I even think it might of been you! You were like, "Don't fuck up! " (laughs) First play, I get an interception. First play. Cool, we don't do it, nobody is moving the ball because fucking quarterbacks we did not have, and people are just getting drilled. Glenn Larboy was a quarterback. They controlled, none the less, second series, I get a pick, and I get open space, and I'm like going.

Problem is, as you can probably tell, every kid on the field was faster than me. So, even though I had open space, this kid, their running back, caught me. I would have scored, but he caught me pretty easily a good 20 yards from the end zone even though it should have been a clean touchdown. But I'm hyped, so he tackles me, and I'm pumped, and I throw the football at him like I'm excited. (group laughter) He, you know, this is Mount Ida. He didn't like that. Before he even got, seized up for us to fight, I looked back. Every single person, every single person in my crew is on the field running to fight, and his roommate, Erak, has a bat. (laughs) - He didn't like the game. - He didn't play the game. game, the best part is, no, no, I forgot about this, we were talking about this after. We didn't know he had the bat. (laughs) He's just like, "Oh, really! " (laughs) - [Male 3] "I've been waiting for this! " - You have to understand, these are true... You know what's so funny, because of the way I do-- - They kicked you out of the game across the field-- - Yeah, I... (laughs) This is a field of degenerates, and I'm the only person that got kicked out of the game. (group laughter) Reverse discrimination. - Yeah. You should have a-- - Chris, when I tell you, when I tell you if I was doing a daily vlog back then, it would be the greatest com-- - [Chris] Did you ever, does the college ever hit you up? - Yeah. - [Male] Like, we can-- - I think they're gonna rename it the Vayner University. 100%. That football game was all time. Most of them, you know what's crazy, most of our stories are from that first semester of freshman year. It was that impactful. Our dorms are right next to each other, like, our rooms within this quad were right next to each other, and at 11:30 P. M. every night, when everybody would wind down, go hook up, go to sleep, go smoke, whatever they would do, me and Moose would go into his room and play seven game series of NBA LIVE. Seven game series. Every night, battles. - Yep. - Pimpsy, all that. - [Woman] Hey Gary. - Hey guys! Yep. Are you gonna take this off? For 45 minutes? - Yep, 45 minutes, then we have a car ready. - [Rob] Orchestrating a trip. (group laughter) - You did! - [Woman] Alright, you ready? - Yeah, I'm ready. Now I'm mad. I'm gonna kill this audience. (group laughter) Wish me luck. - Alright, alright. - One thing that I really like is they're 60 seconds on. That was so genius. - Thank you, brother. - That was fucking genius. (audience cheering) - How you doing, Atlanta? I genuinely believe and I know that all of you are gonna be like, "Well, I'm in the 10%," but I genuinely believe that 90% of this audience is spending way too much time trying to fix the sink when the well is broken. You're good if life's awesome, if you make enough money, if you like your work-life balance, if you like the people around it. If you're good, you can take everything that I have to say with a grain of salt. When I point to the phone, I mean the current state of our universe, and the access we have to reach anybody, to sell anything you want, to do what you want to do. Entrepreneurship. I'm looking around the audience, and there's people that remember 1994. Entrepreneurship wasn't real. Nothing most people do now existed 10 years ago. There was no going through your Facebook feed. There was no YouTube consumption. The only reason I loved the process so much is I was because I was hungry and ambitious. But what got me through my 20s and 30s was I didn't give a shit about what anybody thought about me. I have zero to no tolerance and or interest to seduce you and make you feel good up front to convert you later. Because I just want you to work 15 hours a day if the ambitions coming out of your mouth, map to working 15 hours a day. I'm asking a very basic thing. Are you interested in putting in the work ethic that maps to the ambition that is coming out of your mouth? That's it. That's number one. The reason so many people at first don't like me is because I don't want anything from you. There's no such thing as passive income. (audience laughter and cheers) I wanna put you in one place. If you can wrap your head around what's going to happen over the next 10 years. How many people here are retiring in the next 10 years and, before you raise your hand, I don't mean that you're gonna figure it out and crush it and become a trillionaire. (audience laughter) I mean you're fucking old and you're finished. (audience laughter) What am I trying to accomplish? How do I bring value to people that paid a price while you traveled? Like, how do I deliver right now? Let me help you. If you are the type of person that "stays reading"

my five books and my videos, that "stays spending their money" to travel here and see people talk that "stays" in the point of consuming and being motivated, you will never succeed. How many people I think here should quit their job, take another job that pays them less, sell their home, go rent an apartment that's shittier, and take the time that they get from having that new job that's shittier to learn to suck on coffee, and then come back? I actually believe that is the fundamental model for half this room. (audience cheering) Nobody's doing it. (audience laughter) 'Cause nobody walks outside of here like, "Yo, sold my fucking house! "Going and renting an apartment, now! " Nobody does that. Nobody is like, "Selfie, my new, shitty apartment! "Used to have a house! " (audience laughter) Not happening. You're going nowhere if you're looking backwards. You know what happens when you look backwards? Somebody passes you. I have zero percent interest in you doing what I do. What I do in my vlog and you watch it, that is not propaganda for you to work 15 hours a day. That's just to make sure that you realize if you want this, it's 15 fucking hours a day. See ya! (audience applause and cheers) Thank you! The truth is always-- (laughter) I love putting that pressure on the system. Let's see what they do with that. (Woman laughs) - You wanna make sure you get out by one thirty. - [Man 5] Welcome back to the stage, Gary Vaynerchuk! (audience applause) - [Woman 2] What if your spouse is not supportive of your effort to be an entrepreneur? - [Gary] (sighs) You know, what's so amazing, first of all, thank you for asking that question, because that's gonna help so many people. You're gonna have to make, or that person is the decision on how aggressive they're going to be with the conversation that needs to be happen, which is, you have to create boundaries on lack of support is suffocating and very difficult. And so, look, I know, especially grandparents' and parents' generations of mine, like 60, 70, 80, they ate everything. Right, they ate everything for, "I do forever. " I think the reason we see a higher divorce rate than ever is because people want to be happier. I don't have the audacity to give you anything but the truth, which is, it should be a non-debatable issue, that if somebody that you're spending the rest of your life with is willing to bring you down, you've got macro issues. - When you, on the other hand, talked about the love of the hard work, the process and the grind, which is really why I feel connected to you, 'cause I have a similar DNA structure. - [Gary] Okay. - But with this more, more mentality, I find it really hard to stop and smell the roses sometimes, and tell her how I feel. So my question to you is. - [Gary] Can I give you the advice on that? - Sure. - I never stop and smell the roses. Do you know why? I'm always smelling the roses. (audience applause) The process is the roses. The roses isn't selling the company. The roses isn't the new house. cover of Entrepreneur Magazine. The process is the roses. Now, if you were interested in some of those events, spend your money on it. I would follow every one of them on Instagram and Twitter and figure out what they care about, because if you wanna sell me something, if you start talking to me about the Knicks, Biggie, or the Jets, you have a better chance, right? So old school sales, the reason people go and play golf and go to steak dinners is to get to know the person better to actually make the sale. Social following of those people allows you to know who they are beforehand, and number two, LinkedIn ads against the professions, and then make content that brings them value. That's not a sales pitch, but that's something that may be information for them that makes their lives better. - So more bloggish? - [Gary] Yeah, but it can be audio, video, or written word. Everybody here who's making content needs to figure out if they're a writer, a video communicator, or an audio communicator. I'm all three because I built infrastructure around myself 'cause I can't write but I can do video and audio. So yes, bloggish if you feel stronger in your writing skills, but yes video if you feel better in your video skills. Follow people that you're trying to sell to figure out if they like fishing, if they like watching a TV show, or if they have four and a half kids. - [Women 3] And then, uh-- - By the way, that's the weirdest thing I ever said. (audience laughter) Four or five kids. Keep going. If you're good at something, you could always go back to it.

Go suck shit for three years. Never be 80 and go, "What if? " and go back to doing what the fuck you do. You're welcome. Because you know what's cool about that as you're walking off? If you go do something completely different, when you go back to this, nobody blamed Michael Jordan for sucking at baseball. That's a good one actually. (audience laughter) That's the first time I've ever said that. That's too good. DRock, got it? Okay, good. Fuck, I like that. ("Breathe (Feat. Red Pill)" by Sareem Poems & amp; Terem) - Alright, here we go! Slow, I'm coming! I'm coming, I'm coming! My pleasure, you're welcome. That's the answer. Got it? It's arbitrary, it means nothing. Three ten, got it? - [Man 6] Gary, you changed my life, man. - [Woman 3] Thank you. - [Gary] My pleasure, my friend. Take care, guys. Good luck to you. Thank you, thank you. - [Man 7] Gary. - Feeling good about that. Good little talk, bunch of business stuff. Everybody's kind of like, you can almost already see everybody getting into the Fourth of July mindset. Tomorrow will probably be slow. Vayner Nation, I hope you're doing super well. Thanks for being part of this journey. Hope you're getting value out of it. Keep hitting me up on Twitter. I've gotten an enormous amount of interaction there and continue to enjoy that and is, no question, the place to get me. So, keep doing that. Thank you for supporting the podcast and Planet of the Apps. It means a lot to me. Big ups to everybody who is coming to the four Ds. Did that yesterday. That's the internal VaynerMedia consulting product that we do for a day. Vayner for the day. That's been going super well. Yeah, I love you, DRock. - [DRock] I love you, too. - Doing a really good job, man. - [DRock] Thank you. - I mean it. Like, we'll always forever have this. - [DRock] We're in the vortex, now. - vortex. ("Breathe (Feat. Red Pill)" by Sareem Poems & amp; Terem)
