Erin, what do you got? >> This question is from Chandler. I'm a >> Chandler like from friends. >> Yeah, >> could be. All right. Um, I'm a 26-year-old entrepreneur and recent college grad throughout school. >> Hold on real quick. Everybody hearing Aaron as well? Because I don't have my mic. I want to make sure everybody can hear it. Everybody hearing uh Aaron on her question? Beautiful. Go ahead, Erin. >> Okay. I'm a 26-year-old entrepreneur and recent college grad. Throughout school, I built my own business and kept a side hustle to pay my way through college. Now that I'm entering the job market, I'm realizing employers don't always value that kind of experience because my resume isn't traditional. After years of you preaching hustle and self-starting, how can someone like me translate grind into real professional growth or career opportunities? >> Um, I was yelling at Rips to close a door. So, he's saying that because he was doing a lot of side hustles and businesses and entrepreneur stuff that he feels his resume is thin to get a job now. >> Yeah. It's not traditional. >> Who gives a [ __ ] H Chandler, how many [ __ ] jobs have you applied to? Vayner Med, I don't even know if Vayner Media looks at resumes. I sure don't. I hire like SVPs and VPs. I did two interviews yesterday, by the way, at the airport. Literally, these are three to $700,000 a year jobs. I have no clue which where any candidate worked or what college they went to. Rips and I are the two smartest people at V Friends. He skipped college. I went to Mount Ida. Bro, how many [ __ ] people did you interview with? Like if if I here's the thing. I'm going to give you guys some real [ __ ] tea this morning. Number one, um is Zoom's crashing for people? Are are people able to get into uh Zoom or is there just so many people go in and it's crashing? Just curious. I saw one person say something. But let me give you the real tea. Uh Zoom's working. Okay, let me give you the real tea. Judge, let me give you the greatest advice in life. Judge the judger. Sid, listen. You need to hear this. Judge the judger. That is the greatest piece of advice of all time. Think about what this kid's saying. He's 26. He's modern. He's like a grinder. All the good stuff. And now he's sad because traditional businesses aren't taking him or don't think it's a good enough resume. [ __ ] Chandler, you don't Let me ross you right now. YOU DON'T WANT THAT JOB, BRO. You don't want the job that's judging you for being contemporary. You don't want the girl that doesn't want you because you don't have enough money. You don't want the guy who's just looking at the aesthetics. You don't want You don't want You don't want the people that are judging the wrong [ __ ] Judge the judger. And then if that judger is great, take their feedback heavily. That's why I wanted Sid to pay attention. Sid, take my feedback heavily because you now know me and you know when I'm giving feedback that it's valuable. I value my mom's feedback. I value people that have done certain things that I admire in a way that is admirable. The [ __ ] is Chandler worried about a [ __ ] conservative job that's built from yesterday not taking him? And you know what the funniest part is, Aaron? I don't think Chandler applied to that many jobs. That's the other thing that's got me all [ __ ] up. People have made Here's another [ __ ] gem. I'm on F. You know what? The office might be the right place. I feel like I'm cozy here. Like none of like Rips's residue. Like this is MY THIS IS MY PLACE. Here's another one. Like I think I actually forgot it because of the Rips's [laughter] residue. Wasn't it? Judge the judge. God damn it. Oh, thank you. Great job. You know what, Sid? Now I know why you're here. People have made fun. This is huge. Another good one. I'm excited. I can You can see I'm smiling. People have made unlimited ironclad decisions based on two to three pieces of feedback. This dude got three nos, maybe 50. By the way, by the way, I know it's not 50 and 50 is nothing. He got 50 nos and just decides people forget. People decide like oh three people didn't buy my comic book and they're like well I shouldn't sell comic books. Three girls didn't like take like didn't want to go on a date with me. Oh I'm not like good. Like you know uh I did a whatnot show and only sold $6 like twice. Oh like it's not for me. Oh here's my favorite one. I've posted 16 times on Instagram and I haven't gone viral. the algorithm's [ __ ] or I suck. People [ __ ] take no data and make definitive forever lifetime decisions. Got it. I need like 76 trillions like nose in a row before I'm like, damn, maybe I I need 76 trillion rips. actually 67 67 tr I need 67 trillion nos in a row before I'm like maybe maybe I'm not built for this people out here [ __ ] giving up people out here like not even playing baseball court people like get one strike and they're like they go back to the bench and sit down [ __ ] out let alone three I have a guest here what's good oh bro's gone next what do you Okay, this question is from Joseph. >> Joseph, >> my theory is that AI content that replaces creative work that is supposed to evoke emotion or inspiration is going to fall flat in really connecting with audiences. There's part of me that believes consumers are going to say things like, "I just don't connect with that brand anymore because there's no human on the other side of the content to connect with in terms of the content creator." Your thoughts? >> I think you're [ __ ] fooling yourself because you're worried about it, >> Aaron. They're not going to be able to tell if it's a real person or not. The AI is [ __ ] coming. The AI is [ __ ] coming. I don't know what else to tell you. It's here. Like, it's We're going to have to adjust to this. Like, this is like somebody saying like, "Oh, this new tractor trailer, excuse me, the new tractor for farms. This is 1850. The tractor's invented." And everyone's like, "Uh, like everybody works on a farm." And they're like, all the farmers are like, "No, no, we're not going to like the tractor." Like, like the machine is going to like [ __ ] up the soil, bro. It's here. It's here. And by the way, I do think it will be both. I need everyone to understand. And it's and you know what I mean? It's and people will absolutely value the AI stuff because they won't know. But I also think that it's going to be a place where the human part will also have value and we will like both. And it's like the world is now. We like the phone and being in the phone all day. And we also like deplugging from the phone and going to take a hike or hang out with our friends. Like it's going to be and but AI is here. And if you think like people are like, "Oh, that's an AI person. I'm not connecting with that because it's a person." [ __ ] connecting with only fan girls that are AI right now Sid you know so I don't know what I no I'm not saying Sid is using I'm saying that please do not live in delusion where people are just like oh you know like I just don't understand what people are thinking like it's here stop trying to come up with excuses. Don't go on some weird ideology and understand we're [ __ ] here and we'll get through this and people will adjust and will people lose their jobs? People are losing their jobs right now. Is anyone paying attention? UPS massive layoffs. Target massive layoffs. Amazon massive layoffs. And by the way, white collar. That's why this one's going to hurt. Nobody was crying when it's like oh like the entrylevel you know when we were like robots are going to you know service at McDonald's. I didn't see all the white collar people crying for the $18 an hour, $9 an hour, $15 an hour employee. Oh, no problem. All of a sudden, AI's coming for that 300k [ __ ] manager and all of a sudden it's a problem. Oh. Oh. Oh, now now it's a problem, [ __ ] It's war out here. The [ __ ] do you think this is? This called business. It's [ __ ] war. The [ __ ] do you think these [ __ ] bags under my eye are from? You think it's cuz I'm chilling and drinking pina coladas in Jamaica? It's [ __ ] war out here business. Nobody owes you [ __ ] Figure it the [ __ ] out. [ __ ] up late at night last night at 11:30 thinking about the things Vayner Media has to do to compete with AI that makes content for nothing in a world where I make most of my money making content. This shit's coming. The [ __ ] are we doing? You know, like so you know, you know it's coming. Adjust. If you're a designer at an agency or a company and you don't have ideas, you're entry level. You're not an ideas person. You're a mason, not an architect. Some Erin's my boss. She comes to me. She's like, "Make a bluebird [ __ ] uh from a mountain pooping and saying that felt good. Make that." If that's what I do for a living, I'm like, "Yes, ma'am." And I start making that for two hours in Photoshop. I'm in trouble because Aaron's gonna [ __ ] prompt that. So, I don't know. I just uh I highly recommend One more time, read what he said. >> Um, okay. My theory is that AI content that replaces creative work that is supposed to evoke emotion or inspiration is going to fall flat. >> Yeah. Stop. No, you're wrong. You're 100% wrong. And you guys know me. I don't do that, but I just You're 100,000 billion trillion% wrong. People are paying AI AI. [ __ ] girls on Only Fans are making trillions. Let me ask you a question. What the [ __ ] do you think AI girls are doing? They're evoking emotion and erections. Rips, you can't get an erection without emotion. Rips, you can't. Can you get an erection without emotion, Courtney? No. Right. I mean, I don't know. I'm not a [ __ ] doctor or scientist, but I have a funny feeling you can't. Like it's, you know, look, look. What are we in [ __ ] junior high? We're grown-ups in here. I said erection. I didn't say boner. You didn't need to laugh. I used the [ __ ] medical term. Can we be grown-ups in here? [ __ ] you guys. Next question. >> All right, I'm gonna try to get somebody on here. All right, in Instagram, you need to come here. Gary B.com. Who's here from Instagram? Who's here from Instagram first time? Oh, okay. Let's ask Aaron next question. >> Okay, question from Matt. I'm >> Oh, >> there we go. Ro, come in. Can you hear me? I always love trying new things. Every time we try new, can you hear me? Rob, can you hear me? Go ahead, brother. First of all, Rob, great hat. As a matter of fact, this gives me my first sell some of these. We can.

All right, Rips. What are these? 70 bucks. We can flash sale it. 70. We're going to flash sale it 20. Uh, no, I can't do 20% off. That goes below what we normally sold it for for 55. Actually, run it. Is it 55? Okay, run it back at 55. I know a lot of you have been DMing me about this notorious hat. I'm going to actually allow you to buy it right now. All right, Rob, go ahead.

We're going to work on this. >> Okay. Uh this question is, uh okay, question from Matt. I'm 34. Been stuck in entry-level sales roles since entering the workforce after working for my father growing up since I was 14. I feel like I have no skills, no current direction, and have failed hard at starting two businesses postcoid. Where do I start? I can't [ __ ] stand where I'm at now, knowing I haven't contributed anything of importance in my life yet. Appreciate your brutal honesty. >> Okay, but first of all, that last part [ __ ] pisses me off. Can everybody hear me and Aaron? Everybody heard that? Everybody heard that? Thank you. I literally believe that I posted this morning. My in Everybody go look at my Instagram post right now. I literally believe my Instagram post right now literally that I just posted was do not believe the voices in your head that are negative. Somebody put that in you. Your voice is not that voice. The dude just read that last two lines. I hate that. >> I can't [ __ ] stand where I'm at now knowing I haven't contributed anything of importance in my life. >> That's the stupidest [ __ ] I've ever heard in my life. You want brutal honesty? You're a [ __ ] dick face to feel that way about yourself. What the [ __ ] are you talking about? He's 34. You're a [ __ ] kid. You're a [ __ ] child. You're [ __ ] 30. What do you mean? If you've if you've smiled at a person in an airport where you walked by them and you made them feel good, you contributed more than someone who's made a million dollars of economic impact and has never been kind to anyone. How about that? How about real life? How about we [ __ ] get out of this [ __ ] [ __ ] materialistic [ __ ] scorecard of life. Okay, I am rolling like [ __ ] I figured it out in school while all you [ __ ] thought you had to get straight A's. I said [ __ ] you in 1985 and said I'm getting D's and Fs. The [ __ ] are you going to do about it, Mr. Burgess? Big shout out to Mr. Burgess, my favorite fifth grade teacher. Like get the [ __ ] out of this game. All of you were stuck in the same game that you were in [ __ ] middle school, grammar school, and high school. Your bank account, your [ __ ] bank account, your [ __ ] follower count has no [ __ ] indication of who the [ __ ] you are in life. The [ __ ] the matter with you people? Your [ __ ] BANK ACCOUNT, YOUR [ __ ] follower count, your [ __ ] view count has no impact on who the [ __ ] you are as a human. You think somebody with a Mercedes and a Louis Vuitton bag is better than you? The [ __ ] the matter with you? You haven't contributed anything. What the [ __ ] are you talking about? What are we doing out here enough? Listen, I love being an entrepreneur. I love business, but I love the game, not the stuff. We are [ __ ] cooked out here. People are [ __ ] lost. What are you guys doing? Why do you need this? What are you trying to do? I love when people when I'm on this kind of rampant be like, "No, no, Gary, you don't get a I'm not trying to get a Mercedes or a [ __ ] Louis bag. I'm just trying to live out here. Everybody can live out here. If you make 35,000 a year, you can live out here. Live humbly." court. I know unlimited people like like I don't think I don't understand like you know like I I I think people are confused. I don't know. I don't know why we got into this place where it's all about materialistic and status keeping up with the Joneses and like and oh it's social media. It's not social media. It's bad parenting. It's bad conversations. It's people not listening to the right thing. Please everyone please like, let's let's let's go back to 1950. Like, let's let's put cordialness on a pedestal. Let's put let's put like respect and honor, [ __ ] a day's hard work, man. What do you mean you haven't [ __ ] contributed? That's a crazy thought, brother. First of all, you worked for your father. You contributed a ton. You tried to help your family. The thing I'm [ __ ] most The thing I'm [ __ ] Sophia, private equity is ruining working people's lives. It's not true, Sophia. You're reading headlines about people buying up houses. This It's not true. You thinking you need to own a house when it's not the best investment in the world is like, how about that? How about not? How about how about the things we believe in that aren't true? You all [ __ ] grew up. thought that you had to go to college to be successful. Did that that end up being true, Sophia?

Oh, I don't get to see it because you guys got me on the projector, not on the whatnot. So, I I missed some of those nuances. Got it. Anyway, I want this so bad for all of you. I want this so bad for all of you. I want this so bad for all of you, but I need you to see it. And so, you know, I hope people see it. The fact that this kid thinks he's contributed nothing at 34, that's the problem. Our scorecards are off. Our scorecards are off. Our scorecards are off.

Next. >> Um, this question is from Jennifer. >> Jennifer, >> when your product is yourself, how do you balance the need to push constant content and the need to have some space for yourself to just be you and not the product? I could see three initial downsides. I get sick of seeing/haring myself. Close friends, family get sick of seeing, hearing myself, or I get pulled into an unhealthy narcissism. >> Um, it's a very simple question. You just it but it's very hard to achieve which is you need to just be in it with yourself. Like you're not like narcissism like I don't think people understand narcissism. Let's start with that. I do not believe people understand it. Putting out content every day. What's your intent? Are you me me or are you we we right? Like what am I doing right now? I'm trying to provide a show for free by the way that I hope brings people a lot of value. Why would I feel bad about that? And why the [ __ ] would I care if my family My family can consume or not consume me as much as they want? Go find AJ, Sid, real quick. Watch this. We're gonna find AJ. AJ, find AJ. And then getting sick of yourself. Why? And by the way, if you're sick of yourself, don't post. This goes back to like you're in full control, my friends. The number one thing that will change everyone's life is understanding they're in full control. Full control. You are in full control. No one has control over you. Not your boss, not your government, not your mayor, not your [ __ ] governor, not your president, not your mama, not your daddy, not your wife, not your husband, not your birth, you know, your what does it even say? Boyfriend, girlfriend. Like you are 100% in control. You just are. So, you know, you know, like that's it. Like it's really easy. AJ, >> please take this mic and answer the following. Oh, Erin. Beautiful. Take take this. AJ. >> Sure. >> AJ. AJ. >> AJ, come in here real quick. Make sure you're on the screen. This is my brother AJ. He's in my family. AJ. >> Yeah. >> Do you consume all of my content that I post on social media? >> I do not. >> Do you consume any of it? Yeah. >> How much? Real answer. >> 10 to 15%. >> Great. Thank you, AJ. >> You're welcome. >> What was the punch line there? >> Punch line's like, you know, if I post a lot, I'm worried that my family will get sick of me. Your family's in control of what they consume. If AJ wants to consume me, great. If he doesn't, great. Am I offended by 10 or 15%? Absolutely not. I'm thrilled. You know, Connor Stiller says, "Gary, what's it feel like being 5'4?" Have no idea because I'm not 5'4, [ __ ] 5'8 and a half in your [ __ ] dick. What, [ __ ] How tall are you, Connor?

All right, let's keep it going. >> Okay. [cough and clears throat] Question from Dermit. >> Yep. >> Hi, Gary. I stayed at my company too long. Promises never materialized. And then the company split and I've basically been demoted back to a role I hated. I've had a breakdown and feel unable to seek another job. It's pretty bad. What the [ __ ] do I do? What's the last part? I have had a breakdown. What? >> I had a breakdown and I feel unable to seek another job. >> Have a breakup. Come up, boy. What do you mean? You had a little loss like like what? A business lied to you? [screaming] What's this person's name? >> DERMIT. >> DERMIT, YOU'RE A GANGSTER. Get over it. You got this, DERMIT. BRO, YOU GOT THIS. DERMA, you got what? You got this. People are asking where they can buy the comic. What are these? 35 bucks a pack. All right. 35 bucks a pack. Pin it. Rips. I know a lot of you want to buy a ninja comic. This a pack. You can actually get a very expensive comic because there's rare ones. Pin it. But back to the question. We'll pin it in store. But you know, like Derma, you got this. Like, yeah, bro. I'm pissed too. Like I'm sad. I'm sad that the business did that to you, but you did it to yourself too. Like meaning like you picked that job. You believe them. Like it happens. Why did you have a breakdown? Cuz you Here's why. Expectations [ __ ] people up. This is We're getting nitty-gritty this morning. You want something big? Get the [ __ ] out of the expectations business. Sid, do you know why I'm so happy? I expect nothing from nobody ever. You know that you know me very well. Nothing. In fact, it's insane. Like, it's a flaw. I actually am not. By the way, I don't even think I have it. I need to like actually fix it a little bit. But, but having no expectations from anybody ever, ironically, makes me happy. There's some people that heard that they're like, "Yeah, me too." But they're a cynical [ __ ] negative dark [ __ ] Rips, do not be a cynical negative dark [ __ ] Do not. Rips, I'm very worried about it's very important that you do not become a cynical negative dark [ __ ] As a matter of fact, Rips, we're going to make a bad guy in V friends called the cynical negative dark [ __ ] That's going to be a V friend and a half. What the reason that P Dermick got caught is he had expectations. Well, Gary, how do you not have expectations when someone tells you that they're gonna by not having expect by not believing like by by understanding that something might change? [ __ ] changes. 305 Comics Miami, good to see you, brother. Thank you for being here. Like, I don't know. Like, we're having a good morning. We're getting to the nitty-gritty this morning.

I also help them use AI in the process. I'm currently focusing on coaching and digital products. My question is, you mentioned that live streams is the biggest trend. How do you recommend me to scale digital product sales using live streams? >> Go live. Go [laughter] live. Say, "This is what I'm selling. Are you interested?" And see how it sells. What you'll learn is you want to probably provide more value. I need the chat fixed, Sid, and whatnot, Courtney or Chris or someone. Um, you go live and you learn. But live stream is incredible. Obviously, there's a Twitch and the kick crew that's like living and a Truman show. Then there's what I'm doing right now. I'm live. I'm live. I'm providing value.

Share the journey. Think about what I did. I [ __ ] came out. What did I do? I didn't share advice. I shared wine knowledge cuz I had wine knowledge. She can [ __ ] put out content about what it's like to be a young professional growing up in the game. You know who can't do that? SID. SID CANNOT DO THAT.

All right, let's go. Aaron. >> Okay, question from Ardmise. If I had to focus on three skills in 2026 to build an empire in three to six years, what should be my focus? >> AI, AI, and AI.

But all right, Rips, put uh put another 30. Yeah. By the way, no one should by the way, after my material, the last thing anybody should buy if their money is tight as this. Do not buy anything from me ever in my life. Ever. If your money's tight, I I literally sell pro help my dad sell his wine. Wine is definitely not needed. Probably shouldn't even drink it. And you definitely should not be buying collectibles even though I'm going to [ __ ] cook. You know, it's money. Do not buy dumb [ __ ] And collectibles are dumb [ __ ] if you can't afford it. Do not buy [ __ ] from me ever. That being said, I'm going to build one of the biggest collectibles company of all time. [laughter] >> All right. You could put rips. Did you just put 29? >> All right. Pin it rips. All right, next question. >> Okay, question from Matt. We've grown from the basement of our house to 15 employees, doing six million a year. >> Incredible. >> But my wife and I are still key members of day-to-day operations. How do we scale growth as a small business? And when's the right time to hire a manager to help with the day-to-day, >> rips, they're not flashing. Some people are saying there's I see it as a flash, but people are saying it's 120, not 96. Oh, when they were in the store, now it is. Okay, Erin, I apologize. One more time. Um, we've grown from the basement of our house to 15 employees, doing six million a year, but my wife and I are still key members of day-to-day operations. How do we scale growth as a small business, and when's the right time to hire a manager to help with the day-to-day? >> They're doing 6 million topline. They should done it a long time ago. They're being greedy and want the money from the business for whatever else they want. You need to invest back in your business, not buy nicer stuff. When 6 million topline revenue, the answer was a year ago. I took I took Vehner from two to 45 million and did not change my $80,000 base salary. That that's real life. One more employee, one more office, one couple more bucks for TN to fly out and see a client. Your business is your child. You need to feed your child. People think they people want to be entrepreneurs to take the money out of the business to buy a Lambo. When you're a real [ __ ] gangster and you're building [ __ ] you're putting it back into the business. The business is getting the money, not you. What? What just happened? What? Let me say it again slow for the kids in the back. The business is getting the money, not you. [laughter] Wait a minute, Gary. I thought I could be an entrepreneur on Instagram and buy a [ __ ] Roly and [ __ ] it [ __ ] buy a Lambo. Everything's got to be [ __ ] like nicknames now and [ __ ] too. I want a Roly and a Lambo and a PJ. No, no, no. The money goes into the business. You're doing $6 million in [ __ ] topline and you're crying about not having a manager, bro. The answer was a year ago. [snorts] Next. >> Okay. Question from Karen. Why do I stop giving my all after a little success? And why do I care about others opinions? cuz you're insecure, Karen. And I get it. Your name's Karen. It was a tough era. You know, it was a tough era for Karen's. Like, I can't blame her. I'm kidding, Karen. It's because you're insecure, and that's okay. I think therapy is a good idea. Um I think hanging out with more positive people, like I I think listening to more positive content. The thing I'm most proud of about this show that we do in the morning here is it gets people's day right in the right mindset. Accountability and optimism. Heyo. Accountability and optimism. Heyo. I might make that my new [ __ ] That might be my new [ __ ] sound bite. That might be my new audio tag. Heyo. AO accountability and optimism. One of the biggest things Karen can do is continue to consume positive optimism. And I spew it and many many others do. She's insecure and that's okay. You know, it's okay. It's all right. like life circumstances, DNA, parenting, something that happened in life, people can build. I've watched people around me, Sid, you know this, the one of the weirdest things about team Gary, people that stayed for three, four years, especially like the people that are with me every minute and filming me. Literally, their self-esteem changes under my watch because I'm doing for Drock and Dustin what my mom did for me. It's harder for Aaron or you know like the further you know like team Gary's structure in different way but the closer you get you know especially those people are [ __ ] just long night traveling all that stuff look at train big old train he can't keep up with me yet right train's tired and [ __ ] sweaty and tired sick ate some raw chicken or something he said the other day he can't keep up yet there he is train you can literally feel yourself getting t like right the grind is making you tougher. Exactly. It's [ __ ] war out here. Karen needs to surround herself with positive people. Rips, have you learned things from me? Aaron, Sid, and I've learned things from you guys. it. We rub off on each other. It's called being a human. So, let me ask you a question, Sid. Have you been around negative people in your life? And as you grew up older, especially because we've spent so much time together, you started to understand what that meant and you understood that that [ __ ] actually was either putting deposits in you or you realized what you did not want to do. My father taught me what I didn't want to do. I love my dad. Everybody knows that. But [ __ ] man. That [ __ ] taught me a ton of [ __ ] I didn't want to do. He taught me things I wanted to do. Be an honorable man. Taught me the [ __ ] out of that. But that [ __ ] taught me not how to treat [ __ ] employees. TAUGHT ME HOW I DID NOT want to do business with people. Taught me how I did not want to see the world. I did not want to be cynical or negative or everything's a [ __ ] conspiracy. You want to be less [ __ ] negative and cynical, stop watching CNN and Fox. Stop consuming political people on the internet that are trying to control you through scaring you and telling you they can help you. Oh, they're going to help you. I'm telling you all right now, I can't help you. You got people out there posing as they're not even telling you that they can help you, but they're tricking you into thinking that you can't and they can help you, but they're not saying it. I'm out here kind of saying I am helping you. Like Q&A, let me help you. And I'm telling you I can't help you. Uh oh. Uh oh. We're getting into real [ __ ] right now. Oh, we're getting into Well, hold on. We're getting now. We're I'm kind of breaking the vortex right now. You got [ __ ] out here disguising themselves as politicians and they're secretly telling you, "I'm going to scare the [ __ ] out of you left and right, blue and red. I'm going to scare you so that you think I can help you." I'm out here spitting [ __ ] truth, warmth good. And I'm telling you, I can't help you. You can help you. You can help you. You can help you. Heyo. This is You know what? I think I found something. HEYO. Accountability and optimism. Heyo. Remember Hacksaw Jim Dugen? Oh, [screaming] he had the big 2x4. I'm going to be the AO. I'm trying to help you every [ __ ] day and I can't help you. [ __ ] out here are trying to trick you and scare you into thinking they can help you. They're all the [ __ ] same. I'm going to scare the [ __ ] out of you by based on whatever how you see the world. It might be this. It might be that, right? Might be corporations. It might be immigrants. I'm going to scare you and you're going to think I can help you. [ __ ] I'm out here telling you real truth of like [ __ ] mental health and business black and white advice and I'm telling you I can't help you. Hey yo, I can't help you. [applause] I can't help you. You can help yourself. Period. And the story cut the [ __ ] Honestly, I'm not sure if I should ever make another piece of content in my life. Honestly, that might be it. I'm retiring. It was a good one. That's it. It's over. I don't know what else. That's it. I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I can ever say anything better. That's it. GG's. GG's. That's it. It's a wrap. I think I ended it. That'd be some [ __ ] I maybe I shouldn't I you know in fact one could argue this is it because if I retired right now and that was it and it's like Gary be retired and I actually did just like disappeared off the face of the earth just built my little V friends in the back like an executive you know like I did with Wine Library for all those years like wasn't Gary wasn't out I'm friend I'm a businessman I'm a [ __ ] businessman I'm not a [ __ ] content creator though I love being a content creator I'm a [ __ ] businessman mother I'm a [ __ ] business man you know like GG's I said it I said it all right They're all out there trying to [ __ ] trick you and tell you to be [ __ ] scared. And guess who can help you? Them. For their power, for them. And I'm out here [ __ ] [ __ ] trying to do the [ __ ] good work. [ __ ] man. Playing on the macro and the micro, the mental health and the [ __ ] self-esteem and then the [ __ ] black and white. Like live shopping. Like, here it is. Here's the money. Here's the money. And I'm telling you, I can't help you. Hey, man. GG's. Have 13 more minutes for the show, right? I think I think it's I think it's over. Like all of it. You're out of a job. AI replaced you. >> We did it. We did it. We [ __ ] got to the punchline. Like took us, you know, 20 years. We got there. Wow. Weird. Started by Instagram. All right, I'm done. It >> Yeah, I think that never gonna make another piece of content. I just don't know what I think I said it. >> I don't know, man. I I just think it's over. Like, we did it. I I you know >> tonight. >> Yes, Connor. I'm a big believer in crypto punks. Always think it's the best digital asset. [snorts] I think I did it. HEYO. I mean, what if I just do that? Like that's my content for the next 10 years. I just come on. Whatever the clapper was. Heyo. I don't even know. Like like that's it. Like I just feel like that's it. That's the actual answer, man. I don't know what people they don't get it, man. Like every one of these politicians is doing the same thing. >> There's a label over my face. Yeah, take it down. You can take it down. It's just so obvious. Like everyone's walking around with fear. It's literally literally my most liberal and my most conservative friends are literally the same exact human being. They've just scared us. It's sad, man. I'm upset. People are just scared. for no reason. There's nothing different. Everything's different and nothing's different. And there's been more scary times, you know, and there's people are so capable, but they [ __ ] have given up their will to men and women that have very bad intent on both sides of the aisle. Not enough self worth. It's so funny. Connor's Gary's lost it. I [ __ ] found it. It's the reverse, Con, man. I [ __ ] found it. so real to me. There's so much opportunity, you know, like it's we literally live in a world that is so opportunistic right now. There's never been more opportunity for people. Literally, you've got Gen Z fully believing that they're [ __ ] because of one post on Instagram that says, "Gen Z's fucked." And they use math that they want to paint a certain picture. There are more millionaire 19year-olds created this week than there were when I was 19 than there were train. There are more millionaire 19 year olds. you know, like we we work with them at Vayner Media. I know influencers that my company has paid, you know, 800,000 to this year, 600,000 to just us, little less. There's never been more opportunity. And people out here like, "Oh, it's over. The biggest thing I believe in in life is you find what you're looking for. I believe it's literally the primary belief of my life, my complete northstar. If you are looking for negativity, I have great news. There's unlimited negativity. And there and it's everywhere. We decide which one we're going to pay attention to at this moment. This issue, that issue. There's 9,700 issues. There's concentration camps in China for people of a certain religion. Where's the talk? There's genocide all over Africa. Where's the talk? Like like there's there's everywhere. Everything. There's always things. but complaining about it and posting on social. How about contributing to it? Somebody said, "Gary, do your part. Join the Senate." Senate, I can't do [ __ ] in the Senate. Couldn't do what I'm doing right now if I was a senator. [ __ ] you talking about? [sighs and gasps] This is the greatest era to be born ever into being a grown-up. AI, all of it. All the like like there's like Did everybody get an F in history? Was I the only one that got an A in history or B? There's so much opportunity. What we're also in is in the greatest era of fingerpointing. That's the part that we're not discussing. >> Mommy's fault. Daddy's fault, mayor's fault, governor's fault, president's fault, country's fault. As if we weren't enough hate around gender and race, we decided to do age brackets. That's my favorite new [ __ ] in the last 10, 15 years. RIPs. As if we didn't find enough things to not like about each other because we're so [ __ ] lost. Look at this room. There's only [ __ ] five of us. gender, race, religions, [ __ ] love all. Why would I How could I possibly not like you? Because you believe in something different or you look different or you like, what are we talking about? Oh, wait. I We don't have enough things to be mad at each other about. Let's bracket people into their age and be mad at each other. Let's get the Jenzers to hate the boomers and the boomers to hat the Jenzers. That'll be fun. They're weaponizing hate, y'all. And I promise you when you're all 80, you'll realize there are things to the left and the right that were right and wrong. They're just life. You're in control. You're in control. You're in control. You're in control. You're in control. You're [ __ ] in control. No matter what you cry about right now, You're in control. Please start listening to more positive and optimistic things. Please lean into accountability and optimism. Heyo and your life will be better. See you soon. No. No. I'm done. I'm retired. I'm out, bro. I'm [ __ ] retired. I do not do content anymore.
