Very nice to meet you, man. It's a pleasure. How are you? Thank you, brother. Pat, very nice to meet you. God damn. I'm excited to be here, man. Yeah. Let's go [ __ ] crush this. I'm excited. Thank you for stopping by. This is a big favor for us. I'm Listen, same for me. You guys are doing good [ __ ] Sorry. I'm like trying to get like health [ __ ] insurance here. Like trying to activate my [ __ ] I mean, I I'm willing to test the limits. Let's do this. You want to get in there and do this? Yeah, let's do it. You're the man. We're going to put you right back there if that's cool. Yeah, it's super cool. How are you? I'm good. I'm Jason. Jason, it's real pleasure, man. Thank you so much. How are you? You don't wear shoes? What the [ __ ] I don't wear shoes. Oh [ __ ] I thought I didn't see them for a second. I was like barefooting. I was like I was like, "How are you? " Good. How you doing? Really good. I watched Shane Lechler doesn't know this, but um Raiders, he was with the Raiders, then he went to the Texans and we got to play him twice. But my entire rookie year and second year, I just watched film of him literally every single day trying to learn. Shane Leckler and I punt the exact same because I tried to mimic everything he did and that was my rookie year. I had no idea. You need him on this podcast. That's very important. It can be a huge theme of what you can learn from people's actions. You could change lives by having Shane on the show. Uh other people's lives. Yes. No. All humans lives based on the way you mapped against Shane. That's what people So this is a good segue. I tell people the reason I do a daily vlog on YouTube is don't listen to what I'm saying. Watch what I'm doing. Right? Like if I'm going all in on Instagram stories right now and putting out 20 pieces of content a day, that means I think it's smart. Right? If I'm going on the best podcasts in the world, not this one, but the other ones, you know, others. Yeah, others. You know, that means that I think it's smart. You know, you knew that he was a big-time player and had a huge success and you watched it. I'm stunned by how many people would rather read a book than watch the behavior of the people that are winning. I love you guys. Thanks everyone. Take care. Thanks guys, man. Congrats, bro. I'm super pumped for this crew. Cool. See you guys. Take care. From the start, it was you and you got all yo yo Instagram. Good to see you. The biggest question so many people struggle with is how to actually start and do and make these things happen for themselves. So, how to start dropping 11:00 a. m. Monday? Remember 11:00 a. m. firm? 11:00 a. m. Monday. Beautiful day in city. Hope you guys have a beautiful day. Do something crazy. Go out and say hello to somebody you haven't said hello to. Go to somebody in your office right now or in your neighborhood. Go to the coffee store and say what's up to somebody you've never talked to before. And what once in a blue moon you sell something really expensive that's fun? Yeah. And I think I need a store, too. I'm not kidding. I love retail. Retail is the it's the [ __ ] front line. And anybody can walk in the door. And they might be a lunatic that just got out of Belleview. They might be a billionaire who's visiting from Tokyo. and you have no [ __ ] idea. And that trains an interesting muscle in your intuition, in your way you engage with people, in the it's changed. Yeah. It's how I got trained, right? And it's really it's a special thing that is very underappreciated. The biggest single sale that I ever made in Wine Library in the store, not on the internet, was a guy that came in with combat boots and dragged mud into the store. Not joking, right? $40,000. One drop, one moment. And not a Charles Pearson, if you're watching, Charles Pearson, uh, stock guy, uh, who came up to me and said, "Do you want me to keep an eye on the guy? " Literally, when he walked in, he thought the guy might steal something. Right. Life. You're going to laugh at this. I may want to give you a quote for the book. Oh, that'd be cool. I never do it. People ask me all the time, but I just really like this subject matter. Good first meeting. I like Michael a lot. Smart guy. Good vibes. Makes sense that he's so deep into empathy, right? That's why I always intuitively liked him.

We were reckless as they come. Solders ain't half fun. Now we live with guns. Oh, you can leave me with battle scars, but you're never going to break my black heart. We did it all. I know. Like, I know what we do. We're breaking the model and we're selling [ __ ] like it works. Like, it [ __ ] works. Yeah. It was, it was free. Every night you and me, like a storm, we were free. Oh, it was you. It was me, it was us. We were free. Hello, Iris. How are you? I just wanted to thank you cuz a lot of like the things that you talked about has really inspired me in my mindset and perspective. So, first off, like I just want to say thank you. Thanks, Anders. Like that's the gear that I think you probably again I think you may have but like you'll get I'm starting to learn it. It's real. Yeah, it's real. And when you know you have a new video tomorrow, you get a little less romantic and right that's what the important part but the marriage of the both. Correct. The reason we can win is right now we're just putting out like we're not winning. Yeah. To the level we deserve. Correct. Drock. We hit it hard likeavages. took on the world. Made it our own. Yeah, we stole the ground. all. Like savages. We did it all like savages. We hit it hard. We hit it hard like took on the world. We're funny company. I think so. How you doing? Great. Good.

Love what you've built. the people that greet you to the people that shoot with run the account is just incredible.

You're going to Ghana, right? Uh-huh. What are you going to do out there? I'm on the board of something called Pencils of Promise.

I'm forward. Let us know how we can help. Absolutely. I mean obviously if like I mean if I mean I can really help especially if I'm going to be a part of one. So I can really help. So this is like what one of the real studios, right? Because we've come through here a couple times now. Is this like this? The one Tupac got shot at. Get the [ __ ] the first time. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah, I remember. Blended on Biggie. I remember. That was the real moment like where [ __ ] got weird. Yeah, man. I wish I could rap that. You could rap. You'll probably have a lot to talk about, too. Was Rocky's coach name? I wish I could, man. I would I really like I can was that you said I really wish I know that it doesn't like I know when I speak and like it comes off like comedy and like improv like I know what I can you know it's self-awareness you know what you is that your ring maybe let me see that is real I love that if I could rap I'd be [ __ ] rapping I would have wrapped it all up by now I would just kill people I would have sold all my businesses I would be on my Hey, but I hate Wall Street. Those [ __ ] cheat. Yeah, he hates them. That's why. That's a real bar. Street. I'm thrilled to put that. You're on your way, G. On your way. I really want it. I want it. I wish. You know, you guys can't trick me into it. I know I'm not, but while he's talking cuz he's going to go over there and say like some motivational [ __ ] Motivational. I'm already angry. I haven't even got in the booth yet. Angry. I'm going I need to listen to it a couple times to like really get Let's start from the top

again. We're talking click or whatever. Then it's going to activate everything. One song gets used on a video game that becomes the biggest video game. Like one show uses like a hook in the background. One celebrity lips on musically. Like it just you just don't know where it's going to come from. So you just got to keep working. My concern is that no one can oversaturate because of supply and demand of the noise. Right. That's what I've been thinking a lot about. Yeah, we had what, Kyle in the other day? Yeah. No matter how big outside of like three artists, I don't know. Like, look how much [ __ ] Drake puts out. That's true. Drake puts out [ __ ] a like I think he's he doesn't put out a lot of content. No, but he puts music. It's just there's so much noise now. You know what's been [ __ ] with me? This is something I haven't talked a lot about, but this is the same thesis. So my whole life, everything I'm about, even right now, I still just care so much about my legacy. So much I think about is what's going to happen when I die. And I used to think like I used to get depressed about that [ __ ] So listen to this. You were like this. You be like, "Yo, how am I going to be as big as Genghask Kong or like will I be remembered like Michael Jackson or Yeah. Well, that's how I thought about it. Like I was like, that's right. I was like, if I die, I really want the world to stop for a couple days and like beyond like back in when I was even like 10, 15 years ago, CNN [ __ ] show [ __ ] I want my [ __ ] kids crying. Like I want the world to stop then. This is real. Prince and David Bowie died, right? I guess last year in 16, right? Right. And I got [ __ ] up. I'm like, [ __ ] People only give a [ __ ] for like nine hours. That's [ __ ] up, bro. And this is how I think about music. We us content producers, business videos, musicians, we have our own pride and our own egos and our own lives and we think oversaturation. And I think yeah, but like there's just so much now. It's not like it [ __ ] when I grew up when like you went to Sam Goodie when [ __ ] the new, you know, like Nas album came out and like seven albums. shit's just coming at these kids 24/7 and it becomes a supply and demand game. And my big thing is, so wait, you're putting out a mixtape and an album? Yeah. How many songs? Uh, 12 and about 14. Good. 26. Yeah. You know how many songs you actually have? I got a lot of songs. I know you do, my man. I think you can make 27 songs tonight, right? Whatever. You know what I mean? Like absolutely. And I'm always wondering like I said to Kyle when I was with him the other day. I was like Prince's seven biggest songs never saw the day of life. You know that was that [ __ ] with me the other day when they found like you know six months ago year ago they found all the music and his Yeah. And I'm always like what if his [ __ ] seven best songs never like Yeah. Right. Cuz he probably second guessed. I promise you the 11 best hooks you ever came up with in your head you just thought about it by the time you figure like you just you know you lose them. I know. I do. Like some of the best [ __ ] I ever thought of. I know. I lost. It's why I vlog. Yeah. That's why I vlog now. You should vlog, man. You're real interesting. You would kill it. Yeah. Cuz you you're multi-dimensional and people don't know. People kind of know, but not as much, right? Come in here. It'll help me. Coach, what's the dude that was Mike Tyson? Oh, what's his name? Um, God, I love that dude. that passed away. Oh, custom motto. Yeah, custom motto. You're like my custom motto. I love it. You're basically talking about what we were just talking about. Like there's no sleep. I mean, it's sleep, but it's like what you doing? Yeah. Just Yeah. Keep going. Not too much explaining, but just like I'll go I know how to drop oneliners. It's all I know. You know, it's how I communicate. Let me get your headphones, too. Oh, yeah. You give me some headphones. I can't wait for this. I'm so excited. I can't breathe. I'm more excited about this than my next book, you know. Oh, yeah. I got to read that book. I'll get to you early, you know. Uh I get a lot of people coming up to me that heard our uh conversation when I was at your office. Is that right? And they love it. People, same for me. That's what I was telling you about. Like people were My man, you're really sitting on something. You're a young dude, too. Oh, man. You're a baby. You accomplished so much already that it [ __ ] with you. You don't have perspective. I mean it. You've accomplished so much already that you don't realize how much there's more to go. Wow. Yeah. Seriously, because you know when you're hungry, when you're young, you've got all like all these things have happened and it's hard to like for me too. Like it's hard to understand like how much more there is to go. Right. Yeah, man. I'm real excited. This is monumental. We're gonna

I'm gonna make this the [ __ ] entrepreneurial anthem. Um, that's what I'm going to do. I don't give a [ __ ] what anybody thinks. Want to do it again? Good [ __ ] Now, you want to listen to it? Yeah. Okay. Let me see. Let me hear it. Yo, you're too good at that [ __ ] Like, oh man, I got excited. I get ang I get so competitive. That's my problem. It's about to happen. Drock, this is crazy.
