It's going to revolutionize the way that people get hit by cars. That's what this is gonna do.
0:09
I feel like I can rule the world. I know, I could be what I want to be like a day's travel. Never looking
0:18
back, it's Friday. We reacting to the news. Welcome fellas. Let's go through the stories. First of all, Facebook stock is soaring. It's up. 43% in the last month's, ulis. Getting rich off of it fellas. Did you call?
0:30
All it. Did you know that Facebook was going to rebound right now, Facebook? Like I haven't bought ads on it recently. Sean, but I was talking to some of my folks who worked with you on the milk road. I was talking to some of the people who worked at HubSpot who are the people who worked on the hustle at HubSpot Facebook ads are killing it. They seem like they're working really nicely like when I was running it it was like you know we are acquiring users for like three or four dollars and then nowadays is back down to like 150 when we first started. So it's kind of easy to see
1:00
Guess what about
1:00
you? Yeah, I bet on it so I took two hundred fifty thousand dollars like out of three or four months ago and I bought metal because I was like, why is everybody down on meta? And I was like, do they forget the number one rule you don't bet against duck and tell anybody who's like, oh, but the, you know, the metaverse probable. I'm like, I just send them the video clip of Mark Zuckerberg doing MMA and I'm like, this is who you're trying to bed.
1:29
Against the guy that since age 18 has just been, like, dominating everything he's tried to do. The guy who's created, the biggest social network ever, then bought, all of his competitors and killed everybody else, who tried to compete with them, including Google when they try to compete with him on social. And now we trains MMA and before that, he learned to hunt and speak Chinese fluently, you think this guy's just going to lose money because Apple changed their cookie policy or whatever. Get out of here with that. No way. And so called the broker
2:00
I said, Griffin by, is it by what? I said, you know, what to buy by Zuck. He says, how do you spell that? I said Z UC K. So that's not the ticker. I said, Griffin, call son, and tell him, I want some shares. And so we bought some shares, and I think we're double from where we bought. I don't know where, I don't know. Exactly. I think it's 80. I'm up 80% on that. The
2:23
shot at Sean and I use the same guy, by the way, we both use Griffin. Did he did he say, are you sure Shawn? Or is he goes? Yes, sir it going.
2:29
Go and do
2:30
it. Well, he texted me the other day, he goes great call on meta and I go thank you for the compliment because I've lost a lot of money this year and I think that's why I sent this. Yeah, let's see. Okay, not quite double but, but close, we're good. We will be double. So we're up 50, only only fifty percent. So a little bit, a little bit less than I thought. 50% still still not bad. In a couple months,
2:58
dude, Sarah used to work at
2:59
Spoke in 2012 and I was like doing some math about what she would have her with. Yeah, 2012, she started or sorry 14, she started working there and I was doing the math on like where she would be if she just stayed there and we were talking about it. And I was like well Pro, you would have gotten fairly wealthy con like her job. There was like how do I make like a sticker emoji? That gets people in Brazil to share more selfies. So it's like
3:29
Like you know you want to like you're gonna want to like kill yourself and this is wack and lame but like they pay for your lunch and get though, you're all your, get our oil change and like that stock back then was only forty seven dollars at its peak was $372. I mean that's pretty sick. But yeah man like Facebook's killer never bet against
3:50
him, dude, when we were going through our sale process, Facebook was one of the potential buyers. They all like you're a teal. No, no, this was 2019 2020, something like that
3:59
idea, okay?
4:00
So back then it was a $200.
4:02
Yeah. So we are so it's good that the stock is down from when we would have got acquired because it was, you know, stock was a significant part of the deal, but we were the difference if Talent quality between we interviewed with, we talk to YouTube. We talk to Twitch or we ended up going to Facebook to Discord to a bunch of other players and Facebook was so much more so much better so much more impressive. I was like
4:29
Like, okay, you know, like if I was just going off of who, what talent would we be around? It's not even close. Like, the numbers are not even close. Like the math of the difference of these offers, it's not even close, but I was optimizing for other things.
4:44
A lot of people who have loved talked with whoever his face, but they're sharp as hell. I remember just walking around that campus. I felt like I was at the UN, you know what I mean? Like, there's like, like, there is so many different, like, types of like colors and like, ethnicities. It was like, they just like
4:59
He picked the best of all over the world and it was at that blues at Menlo Park, or I forget where it was. But like, walking around campus. I feel inspired
5:07
one of the guys, who would have been reporting to me there. He was like yeah, as my like intro. Like when you get there, you do like a demo project, or you do like an intro project, I guess, if you're early on, as a engineer, or product manager, something like that to like just get on-boarded. You do like a hackathon project and he created basically Facebook Marketplace and that ended up running that particular like working on that. But it's like, you know, his prototype was like the one of the original Genesis things.
5:29
And another guy was like, I was what you do before this he's like oh I was at Microsoft. I was like okay well one boring thing to another great and he's like, so yeah I invented, you know, Microsoft 365 like you know, I was like we should go to the cloud and make this a subscription and nobody agreed with me and I just kept working on it for like two years. And he's like I just literally had a separate machine under my desk where I was like, I'm gonna build it on this machine and like I'm gonna do it here and I was like, okay so my takeaway was like you guys are smart man. If I come here, every day after work hard, you know because
6:00
Be lazy around these people,
6:02
they're great. All right. Which one which one will be able to now Jack butchers nft project which is called checks V4 spun chart around the check. Mark has recently become the top trading nft project by volume surpassing board Apes. Wow, I didn't realize it was that big. Wow,
6:21
I think that's probably like, on a this week type
6:24
basis. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, not all time. In terms of like active trading volume either this week or
6:29
In a single day. But what do you have to say to our buddy?
6:33
Jack's? Getting rich. Love it,
6:35
dude. So I'm biased Jack's like a close family friend him. And his wife are very, I'm very close with those folks. They're awesome. And Jack is more of an artist
6:44
enough that he sent you some of these n FTS roof.
6:47
Well, I gotta tell you sure that says internet on it but I you set me up 30 percent coupon code. I got a t-shirt to Jack's punk rock, man. Jack's more of
6:59
Artist than he is a businessman. And if you go to his website visualize value and you read the copy for the check. Mark it is, as we like to say beautifully done. It's like it's just an N of T but it's just so tasteful. It's classy, it's delightful. No, he's done a good job man. I think it's cool. I still I'm not I'm not an mft guy, you know, cornrows neck tattoos and of T's not for me but cool that other people have them. And that's kind of how I feel about enough T still. But if I were going to do an fft,
7:29
It'd be his
7:33
yeah looks like last seven days. It's done 15 million in sales volume, no shit. And it's the 4th ranked 1 in the last seven days, maybe it's really impressive. It's just a shy man, right? I don't say like that. I'm not okay. It's like you just a swoosh. Look
7:53
I'm not saying it that way. What is it? I didn't actually is it like a you get a different color check and you put that
7:59
As your now, I'm not disrespecting him at all, but I'm wondering I'm asking because I'm not, I'm not in this world, you put that on as your profile picture and you can add
8:08
on another. I honestly haven't been following the project that closely it went from eight dollars which was the price that Elon was trying to charge for a blue check on Twitter. Right? So that's like the the state, the political statement, he's making here. So it went from eight dollars which was his like opening price, I think to closer to four thousand dollars per per entity now so incredible incredible Surge and he
8:29
He is like I don't know if he's not there yet. This is sort of like, comparing is a little bit of a stretch of a comparison but he's kind of like a internet Bank. See a little bit, like he totally shit. That's like, it's a commentary on what's going on in the world and he just the guy just hits hijab. It's like, have I seen him do anything know that? I'm not like that. It's always dope. Yeah, I'm like this guy's hits only right H. 0 hits only. And he's only a few people who has HIV
8:57
status, dude. He makes hits
8:59
So he started out Joe Jack's, our good buddy. If You Don't Know Jack follow him on Twitter. He started out. He had an ad agency and then he reworked an AB and c and then he started to make his own Ad Agency and it was going okay and then he created this course called build the once sell twice, which is hilarious. Obviously name. Yeah, amazing name and it's about how to productize a service and start selling that course and he basically was like, I remember I get a call with him and his wife one time when we first started, get to know one another and they were in like a 400 or 500 square foot Studio.
9:29
It meant that they lived in, and they weren't like killing it and then, like he had the year of his life in 2020 or 2021, kills it. Now, if you go to his website, visualize value.com, the reason why I love him is you see like his background you see those courses but he also has this tab called visuals where you can like, look at some of his artwork, but then he has a merch store and his merch store is actually awesome. He has these sweatshirts that say college kind of like you know that but it says internet and like it just does things like that that are actually awesome. And Italy.
9:59
Go to a site. I'm like, oh, I'm like this dorky internet guy, too, but he has merge. I'm inspired to be like a lot cooler. Like, he is, it's awesome. He's badass. I'm a Big Jack fan.

14:26
This is that Niche not for me.
14:29
I'll give it to Andrew Tate. I'm out.
14:31
Yeah, let's do one more. What's that you want to do the Tooth Fairy
14:39
thing? Yeah. Okay. I got a new story for you. My sister has three daughters two of which are losing their baby teeth. And I was talking to my niece the other day and she tells me she lost a tooth. I said, wow, fantastic. You're going to give it to you. Put under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy. No, I threw it away. Throw it away. Throw it in the garbage can. Yeah, I threw it away.
14:56
Way why? Well my last tooth was under there for two months at the Tooth Fairy never came. So so I don't want to, I don't want to even try anymore. That's the first, first story I hear. And I'm looking at my sister, she's like making eye contact. Like I'll tell you later, I'm sorry. I know, I know I have to up then the younger daughter loses her tooth yesterday puts it under her pillow with a note. Here's what the note says. It's I'll send you a picture of it, but basically it says something to the effect of gear, Tooth Fairy, you didn't come last night but that's okay. I'm leaving it here.
15:26
Again and it says something like, you don't have to leave any money, just draw a picture of yourself. I want to see what you look like, then that's the note and she didn't do anything again. So the news of the, the question fellas, does my sister need to just check herself into jail for bad mom of the
15:42
year. What the hell? What's your deal? What's the weather? Just get like a few dollars or like, you know, like some Doritos or something? Just put a little unsettled, right? I forgot. How do you forget that?
15:56
Unbelievable. She texted me, she said that herself. She goes should I just send myself to jail because I'm such a bad mom. So that's my news story of the week that that's what I pay attention
16:06
to, what's a tooth go for
16:08
nowadays. I dollars, I don't know to back in my day that was, you know, like five or like if your parents get cheeky, they're like here's a two dollar bill, it's less than the going rate but it's rare to two dollar bill. You know,
16:21
like I got has five dollar once and that was like a huge deal. I don't know what's a tooth.
16:26
Beaufort.
16:27
I feel like people do more of that been. What were you did you get tooth money when you're growing
16:31

16:40
it. That's some guilt money right there
16:43
that it was guilt money. Yeah, blood found got it knocked out. So I got five bucks for that one but I don't know what a tooth would go for.
16:49
Now, been do this. Do this other one. You have the Snowden one. I don't know if you've seen this one.
16:54
Yeah. So Edward Snowden goes live on a conference.

17:09
time. Yes. And so this guy is interviewing Edward Snowden for his private investor conference. He shows up and immediately pulls up an article that says man busted for 4.4 million dollar Ponzi scheme and he says, is this you and the host? Interviewer says, yeah. That's
17:27
E it goes. Alright, well, I think it's important to tell people this kind of stuff by and hangs up on him.
17:32
He got paid to come do a keynote. He starts his like you know, keynote Q&A or whatever, Ed just put screen shares. Instead, the news article that this guy who's hosting this event is a former like, you know, Ponzi schemer that was like yeah, trouble for that. And the chat is just like, wow. Wow, boom. Wow. Oh my god. Wow. That's like you know, I

18:43
You see the reason I'm watching the guy's reaction. So the guy goes yes, that's me. And then snowden's like well I think people should know, you know, who they're getting into business with whatever. So I don't feel good about this. I'm not doing this so he leaves and then the guy,
18:57
Guys doesn't know what to do and he just shrinks and he just goes. Okay, I'm gonna, we're gonna take a break and yeah, I'm going to come back and he just doesn't know what to say. It's like man if there was ever a time to be like, hey, you know, I know that looked bad but happy to explain and, you know, explain what happened and you know, clarify for everybody and I can do that right here right now.
