DJ
It's all right. It's all right. That's what we said in the gym. We're like, it's not a bad place to work out.
Nathan Graham

Andy Frisella
You know, it's all right.
DJ
You know, I don't know if I want to choose this or the Planet Fitness, but yeah, yeah, definitely, dude.
Nathan Graham
It's. It's about the same, but, yeah.
DJ
Awesome.
Nathan Graham
Well, it's great to have you here, dude. I don't even know how we connected. I think we connected through DMS.
DJ
Yeah, I think it was through DMs and cars. Yeah, we have. We both got a huge passion for cars, so I've been following Andy. I've actually been listening to the show since, like, 2016, back when it was MFCO project. So it's awesome to see how the show has transformed over the years. And then to become a listener of the show to then being on the show is. Dude, is awesome.
Nathan Graham
And, dude, what's so cool is like, your story because, like, when you were listening back in the day, you were in high school. Yep. Right. And now you've got YouTube, tens of millions of followers across platforms. You've got an amazing CPG business. Let's talk a little bit about how that evolved and, like, get right into it. Because before we get into, you know, the talking shit, I want you guys to understand this young man's story. Because, dude, it's. It's awesome.
DJ
Yeah. Yeah. So pretty much I started. So for those of you that don't know me, I make YouTube videos. If you're watching this and you have kids, probably ask them if they know Unspeakable. That your kids probably know me. Not in a weird way.
Andy Frisella
How about say that a little bit.
DJ
But our demographic is younger. Tons of kids watch our show. I've been doing it since 2012. So I started in October of 2012. That's when I was. I graduated high school in 2016. So I started when I was, like, in middle school, going into freshman year of high school, and. And pretty much just started by playing video games in my room. I started with a game of Minecraft. It was my favorite game at the time. I loved playing it with my friends. Just grinding out hundreds and hundreds of videos over time. So I'll speed up the story a little bit, but it took me.
Nathan Graham
We're not in a rush. Like, that was relevant. Yeah, I wanna hear it.
DJ
But it was a tough. I mean, it was just a grind, learning everything, dude. Like, I didn't know how to edit a video, film a video. My. My personality. Like, if you go back to some of my first videos, I was so incredibly shy. I was a very shy kid in school. And that was a belief that I had to break because I was like, man, how's a youtuber kid gonna be a shy kid, right? Like, I gotta entertain an audience if I Wanna be a YouTuber. But it was kind of this thing that When I started YouTube, I was interested in it, I was curious about it, but I wasn't. I didn't have a huge, like, passion for it. Over time, as I made more and more videos, my passion grew and developed with it. Cause I'm a big believer in, like, you know, you don't really know that you love to do something until you do it for maybe a couple years. So that's what I discovered. A couple years down the line, I started to grow. It turned into an obsession, pretty much. So about three years in, I'm still struggling, still trying to find A viral video. Still posting videos. I think my first year on YouTube, I posted 143 videos. My second year on YouTube, I posted like 220 videos. By year three, I was pretty much doing videos every single day. Posting one video every single day. And these are all long form videos. I know, I know today people have shorts, Instagram Reels, TikToks. These are all like 10, 15, 20 minute videos, edited stories every day.
Nathan Graham
It's a lot of work every day.
DJ
A lot of.
Nathan Graham
You're doing it yourself.
DJ
Doing all of it myself. I was still in school too.
Nathan Graham
That's a shit ton of work.
DJ
Yeah, still in school. So I remember, I remember there's days where I would like come home from school, you know, three or four o' clock, I would just work on videos till 1, 2 o' clock in the morning. I had to wake up at 6:30 because I ran cross country in the morning.
Andy Frisella
It was going brutal, Brutal.
DJ
First couple periods in school, I would always sleep because I was just so, so tired. And the, and the, and the teachers, like, I told the teachers what I did. I was like, I was like, I worked last night for eight hours. Like, I just need, I just need a 30 minute nap. And they're like, yeah, you're good. My teachers were super nice.
Nathan Graham
But that's cool, dude. What's interesting is the part where you say, you know how you were shy and then the, the reps helped you develop your, and get through your shyness, right? Like a lot of people will ask, young podcasters will ask me or you know, people that are trying to become more better speakers in public. And I'm always like, bro, just, just reps, man, reps, reps, reps, reps, reps. And how do I get reps? I'm like, well, you got to start being pretty bad, you know, so that's cool, man.
DJ
Yeah. So it took me. So for my first go viral, I consider a viral video a million views. Everyone looks at viral videos differently, but my first video to hit a million views, it took me 574 tries.
Nathan Graham
Dang.
DJ
So 574 uploads. It was about three and a half, almost four years in the process. But after I got my first video go viral, the second one came very quickly, like a month or two after, and then the third and then the fourth. And that's when I learned about, that's when I started to learn about the power of momentum.
Andy Frisella
Because it's just compounding at that point.
DJ
Yeah, compounding like crazy. I mean, growing anything in business and Life is just, there's so much momentum behind it that people don't understand. But it took me five, I think it was about five and a half years to get to a million subscribers. And when I hit a million subscribers, I actually graduated high school, which was cool. So moved out, bought a house, never went to college, never had a job that's straight, straight to YouTube. So.
Nathan Graham
So you are the story that all the kids want to be?
DJ
Pretty much, yeah.
Nathan Graham
That's awesome.
DJ
Yeah, pretty much. But it didn't get easier from there. Yeah, definitely got a lot harder because a lot of people think like, oh, once you get to, you know, a certain place, you know, because I thought this, I always thought like, oh, once I get to a million subscribers, things will be easier because then I'll have an audience of people to entertain. But in the reality it's, it's the opposite because now I have a million people that I could lose. You know, I work so hard to get these million people and now I got to keep them entertained every week, every month, and I got to keep growing from there. On top of that, you got to.
Nathan Graham
Innovate and you can't get stale. And yeah, yeah, it's a lot.
DJ
Yeah. So this was just the beginning of all the other problems that I, that I was going to develop. But yeah, just kept pushing through, kept going, kept going. Channels started blowing up more and more and more. I was launching more channels. I also decided to get out of the gaming space eventually. So I launched a real life channel where basically we do crazy stuff. I mean, we like, we hunt tornadoes, we've built life size Lego houses, we, geez, what is, what is something we're doing right now? We're trying to make a Lamborghini fly, trying to put wings on it.
Nathan Graham
How do you come up with ideas for this?
DJ
Yeah, so we have. So as I developed thousands and thousands of YouTube videos, you start to discover like these, these blueprints that you can basically like, you know, blueprints, formulas for thinking of video ideas. One of the coolest things that, I mean there's a lot of them that, that I use. But one of my favorite ones is like the one plus one equals two method. And basically what it is is where you take two ideas. Sometimes I'll take ideas from different places or I'll take two ideas of my own videos and I'll combine them to make a third idea. So one of my most viral videos is I filled my house with packing peanuts.
Nathan Graham
I saw that.
DJ
Yeah. So that was like a one plus one equals Two idea. I took an idea from something else and something else combined it together and made a third idea. And that's kind of my next mission that I'm focusing on is, you know, I've had this huge success myself. I'm obviously having a lot of focus on, like, the CPG stuff and the. And our. And our fruit blocks company. But my next mission is with Blueprint, which is. The next company that we're focusing on is teaching creators how to. How to be creators.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, you've been talking about that a lot.
DJ
How to be successful. Yeah, that's what my Instagram. Instagram's all about. So that's.
Nathan Graham
You're a tactician, dude. Like, it's really cool, man. Yeah, Like, I watch trying to learn. I'm like. Because I, I'm. We struggle with YouTube, dude, because, like, hard beast, man, it's. It's.
DJ
It.
Nathan Graham
Well, it's hard for us. You know, we're still really new to it, and most of our listeners are audio listeners because they. We've been doing it for so long and sometimes we get frustrated with YouTube because we're like, fuck, dude. Like, this is not even comparable to what we do on audio. And I don't know, I feel like we put on a pretty good show, but I, you know, it's. So we're going to put some more focus into that, you know, make it a little more entertainment focused and let the podcast be a product of that, you know?
DJ
Yeah. The best thing I try to tell people when they're, like, starting a YouTube channel, I think the best thing you can do is make your last video your competition. So, like, whatever your last video is, try to make the next one better in some way, shape or form. I always like to tell people to pick two or three things from your last video. You know, maybe it's your intro, maybe it's your thumbnail, maybe it's your filming personality, whatever it is, and apply that to the next video. Because that's what I did for my first 574 videos till I got that first one to go viral. And then obviously I kept doing it and, you know, now Today I've posted 5,000 or 5,000 videos across all the channels. But it's. It's surreal looking back, man. It really.
Nathan Graham
You can tell you really like it, though.
DJ
Like, oh, I love it.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Every day it's exciting. I mean, when you get to go hunt a tornado with your friends in the middle of Iowa and document the process and then get 28 million views on the video, and it pays you out 300k. It's pretty good day.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. You know, do you now do you have someone like a camera person documenting all the time? Like every day?
DJ
Not all the time.
Nathan Graham
Or just when you're like, do. Doing stuff?
DJ
Yeah, mainly, yeah. Cuz like all of our videos. Our videos take a. A. A huge amount of setup.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
So, you know, it's normally a couple days of planning. Couple days or weeks of setup, and then a couple days of filming and then two, three weeks of editing. So it's a process to get one video out.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, for sure.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
But we. We're staggering all of our videos. So we have multiple teams working on different things at the same time. So we basically have like a lot of people when they think of a production company, they have like editors, they have creative, they have script writers. We basically have like three production companies in one. So they're like alternating every single week on all the different videos.
Nathan Graham
And how many people is that?
DJ
So right now in house, I believe we have 24. And then we got another 10. Just remote. Remote people at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nathan Graham
That's awesome.
Andy Frisella
That's. That's freaking awesome. And be 27 years old doing it. Like, that's sick.
Nathan Graham
Oh, he's doing it, dude.
DJ
I'm doing it. Yeah, I'm deep in this.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. You should see his cars, bro.
Andy Frisella
What's your favorite. What's your favorite car you got right now?
DJ
Favorite car I have right now. Ah, man, it's hard to tell. It's like every. Every other month I switch something out. I mean, the. I would say the favorite one I have right now, I just got a 997.23 RS. Yeah, it is the most exhilarating, raw car I've ever driven. I mean, it's just this one has like an upgraded, you know, clutch and all types of. All types of goodies.
Nathan Graham
It's a real driver's car.
DJ
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, I was. I was driving it the other day and I was like, man, this is not a car where I can like, grab my phone and like, change the music. I'm like, I'm glued to the car, but that's kind of what I wanted. It's cool, dude.
Nathan Graham
That's. That is one of my main things I love about cars is that if you're driving a car that takes skill to drive or has enough power to literally kill you and you have to be careful, it. You can't think about anything else. So a lot of people think it's just about, like, oh, you showing off your cars. Well, I mean, there's part of that, right? Like, I want to inspire the young guys and know that it's possible, but it's really, like, the. The only thing I can really equate it to is if you're not very good at playing a musical instrument. Okay. And, like, for me, when I was learning guitar, which I don't play anymore, but when I started learning when I was 30, I was very bad, but I had to do total focus, you know? And then. And then when I got done even 30 minutes, I felt, like, better, almost, like, refreshed. And that's how I feel after I drive. When I'm driving something that requires all my concentration, you know, it's. It's really cool. And, you know, and the cool thing about driving, too, is you can always improve. Like, a lot of people think it's just like. Oh, you know, like a. They think of it, like, as a commuter, you know, and they don't think of it, like, you know, with your. With your rs, you know, rev matching or downshifting properly or heel towing or. There's just all these cool techniques that the average person doesn't realize can take a lifetime to master.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, and so, like, you never. Even if you get good, it's. It's. You could still get better.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And that's what I like about it.
DJ
Yeah. They're like engineering marvels, too. I mean, just the. The amount of stuff. Like, I. I just had a McLaren Senna, too, and, dude, we put that thing up on the lift, and I was like, I got to see underneath this thing. I mean, just like, the amount of, like, carbon fiber ducting to, like, this wind goes here to cool this. This wind goes here. I'm like, this is under the car. You don't even see this.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, the centers are cool, bro. There. When I first saw them, I was like, who the fuck would buy this?
DJ
Who designed ugly?
Nathan Graham
It is. But then you start to realize that everything on that car has a purpose, you know? And if you ever drive one, you understand why, because they're just ridiculous in. In almost every way.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Did you have the. Did you have the. The round seats in it in yours?
DJ
Like the. The race car seats? Yeah, yeah, they all have those.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Well, no, you could get two different seats in the Senna. You could get that one that, like, rounds around, and then they have, like, a more standard race seat.
DJ
Okay.
Nathan Graham
But I've never. I've never sat in the ones that round around your shoulder.
DJ
I don't know. They're not very comfortable.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
They don't look.
DJ
It's just, like, bare carbon and a little bit of cushion, but.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
That's crazy.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. So, dude, you. You recently picked up. I've been talking about this a little bit on my. On my show. A GT500.
DJ
Yes.
Nathan Graham
What do you think?
DJ
If you're listening to this show and you love cars and you're on a budget, that's the best thing you can go for, bro.
Nathan Graham
I totally agree.
DJ
Like, it is the most. I mean, to put this in perspective, I was on the track a couple months ago in a $450,000 Porsche, and this thing was passing me.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
And I'm not a race car driver, but I know how to drive. Like, I've been on the track a good amount of times. I've had a lot of experience under my belt, but, yeah, it's unreal. I mean, the. And what's also incredible about Ford is, like, you don't have to modify anything.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Like, you know, it doesn't need an exhaust.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Doesn't need, like, carbon fiber wheels.
Nathan Graham
I wouldn't want to change the exhaust because I'd be afraid it would be wor. Worse.
DJ
But it just sounds so good. It's.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
For the pro. You can't come close to beating it. Put it up there with $300,000.
Nathan Graham
I agree. 100, dude.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And I. I wouldn't have said that before I owned one. You know, like I was saying before the show, I got the first Customer delivered for GT. New Ford GT in 2017, which I still have, which I. I love. And they called me when the 500 came out, and they were like, hey, you want one of these five hundreds? You know, we'll give you one of the first ones. Do paint the sample or whatever on it. And I'm like, they're like, oh, no, dude. My buddy Dave, he's like, dude, it's. It's just as fast as a 3Rs on the track. I'm like, come on, man. Like, there's no way. And then, like, three years go, four years go by, and Ryan Hardwick, good buddy of mine, one of my best friends, he buys one, and I see him driving. I'm like, what do you think? He's like, dude, go buy one. So, like, I'm on the Internet at night. I'm like, all right. And I buy one, and I got it because I think they look cool.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And, dude, I couldn't believe how good it is. And then the Inside of it is so comfortable and like the, the ergonomics and like everything's right. Like, it just feels good. And I feel that way about the 350R too. Like, I feel like the 350R, you could pick those up for like, what, 70, 80 right now?
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And dude, like, if you're a guy who likes to drive manuals, I, I don't think I've ever driven a better manual car than that car.
DJ
No, not for the price.
Nathan Graham
At any price, you know?
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
I mean, maybe, like. Yeah, maybe when you get into the half a million dollar range and you start talking about the high end 3Rs manuals and things like that, like the one you just got, you know, but dude, that's. That's five times the price. You know, it's just a. Or more. It's just. I don't know, man. And then the way that flat 6 on that 3R or on the, on the 350R, I mean, dude, I just, I'm a huge fan. Huge, huge fan of those cars. But yeah, man, we could talk about that later.
DJ
I could talk about cars all day.
Nathan Graham
I could talk all day. Dude, have you driven a Carrera GT yet?
DJ
I have not. Yeah, no, that's on the list.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Yeah, that and a 918.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, you, you. I got both of those. You could drive. You could drive whatever you want, but Carrera GT for a manual car, it's just different.
DJ
I heard it's pinnacle.
Nathan Graham
Oh my God.
DJ
Like, nothing can be. It's not.
Nathan Graham
It's just. Dude, it's got, it's just. You know how, like we were talking about the GT Black series, how it's a great car, but it doesn't make the. Sounds right. The. I couldn't critique the Carrera GT on anything. It could do better.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know what I mean? Like, it's got enough power, but not too much power. It makes the right sounds, the pedals feel right, the shifter feels right. Everything feels right. And it's super balanced. And I know a lot of people are like, oh, well, that's the car that killed Paul Walker. But yeah, man, that's why you got to respect the car, bro. You know?
Andy Frisella
So I felt driving the GT the other day.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, well, yeah, like I wasn't fucking.
Andy Frisella
Tripping off anything else.
DJ
I'm like, straight cars are getting so fast now too. Like, I just picked up a 20, 25 S63 and this is like, this is a S class Mercedes. Like, it's, it's like a limo. Yeah, it's got thousand foot pounds of torque.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. What, what is that, a hybrid?
DJ
Yeah, yeah, it's a twin turbo V8 with, you know, like four electric motors. I'm like, why do I need to be hitting 200 while I'm getting massage in the back seats? Crazy.
Nathan Graham
But it's cool if you can.
Andy Frisella
It's cool, it's cool.
DJ
But I'm just like, cars. Cars are getting so fast for the street that it's like, it's a little. A little scary.
Nathan Graham
I just bought a last August. So when I. When I got first got into cars, I had a 2012 R8V10 manual and I built it all the way I wanted. And then I got in a cash pinch where I needed some cash, so I kind of. I had to sell it. I didn't have to sell it, but I decided to sell it. And then I could never find another one. And then I found a. Last August, I saw 15 pop up on one of the websites. I think it was Auto Tempest. And I bought it right there because I haven't seen one in like 10 years come up that was gated. And then I built it exactly like the one I had. Same wheels, same everything. And dude, you know, compared to. It's probably the slowest car I have in the garage, but it's also like one of the most fun, you know what I mean? Because dude, you're right. Like, some of these. Some of these cars have so much power that you can't really enjoy them unless you're like way out, you know, on. On some big stretches, you know.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And I'm a big fan of like actually having to drive the car.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, so. Yeah, man. The power on these cars is getting crazy. Dude.
DJ
Do you have a. Do you have an svj?
Nathan Graham
No, I don't. I. I got pissed off at Lamborghini about six years ago and I actually. So. So when the SVJ 63 came out, I tell the story. It's just so I had like between. When I started getting cars to win the SVJ63 came out, I had owned probably 20 Lambos. 20 different Lambos, like a lot. And. And dude, everybody knew that Andy Frisella was a Lamborghini guy because I grew up that way. And then when the SVJ63 came out, they didn't give me an allocation. And like, I was the number one client at our local store. I was also one of the most visible people on the Internet. I was post. You know what I'm saying? Like, I made it like, dude. And they didn't give me an allocation. I'm like, guys, what the. And they were like, well, you know. And they kind of were like. And I'm like, well you. And by the way, I also sponsored race team. You know what I'm saying? So like we had a first form Lamborghini race car that was winning. Yes. That won the championship.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
So. So I was like, I got rubbed wrong like that. It pissed me off. And so, dude, I. At the time I had, I had two cars at home. I had an Aventador SV roadster, which. Dude, I. I'm gonna get another one because I missed that car a lot. And then I had a Huracan Performante that was matte black, which I really like that car too. And dude, I traded him in on a like literally like the truck came to pick them up and on the truck was a TDF and the 458 Aperta. And then they took the two cars away. So like. And I made a little video and I sent it to him. Yeah. So. So like I went from like. I wanted to like prove a point. Yeah. So yeah. So the Lambos went away, the Ferraris came in. I got it on my video and I sent it to him like, this is what this is, you guys. But here's the cool thing. So I was kind of anti Ferrari up until that point and a lot of my buddies were like, dude, you know, you know how there's like a little thing there. And then when I got into the Ferraris I was like, these are great. Like these are amazing cars. And I don't. They. They didn't look as aggressive, but the car was more fun to drive. And so like now I'm like a super, you know, I'm super big on the Ferrari V12s. I think the Ferrari V12s are insanely good, but you know, they don't have the road presence or the curb presence of an SVG.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And the sounds good. Like I run in Novatech on my V12 and they. I mean they fucking scream, but they don't scream like a Gintani fucking. That's svj.
DJ
That's what mine's in the shop right now getting exhaust. Well, literally right now they said it's going to be done tomorrow. Like I need to fly back.
Nathan Graham
You can't wait to get.
DJ
Oh, dude, I can't wait to get home Saturday.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Even though I'm going to get another one, I want to get. I've been looking at this SVJ or I'm sorry, SV roadster I would like to. Eventually, I will get an SVJ roadster and an SV Roadster. Because, dude, like, I just. I do like. I do like them. They're. They're brutal. They're raw. They. The sound is insane. And like, dude, let's be real, man. Like, you just kind of feel a different way driving it. You know what I'm saying? So. I love them, dude. I'm. I'm over it now, you know? But that was the story of Scab.
Andy Frisella
Is he old?
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Like, I like the cars, man. I just didn't like the way. I didn't like the way they went about it. And the conversation I had about the allocation with them was just like. It was just like. It was rude. And then I will say this, too. You know, a lot of people dog Ferrari for being, you know, a. Like, not wanting to deal with them, bro. I've had nothing but great experiences with them. They have been very nice, very good, very accommodating. And it's like, I. You know, I. I don't have anything but great to say about how they run their company, you know? And I think the people that say bad are people that don't.
DJ
Outside the club.
Nathan Graham
Hating, sort of. Yeah. Like, it's kind of like once you're in the club, you know, it is what it is.
DJ
But, you know, like that Chris Brown song, outside the club, you can't even get in.
Andy Frisella
I get it. Yeah.
Nathan Graham
I mean, it's. They. I can only say how I've been treated, and they treat me tremendously well.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, I'm down at Ferrari of Austin. That's my dealer. They're amazing. But, yeah, dude, I love. I love cars, bro. And you know what's cool? It's not about the price of the car either. Like, it's like, my favorite car is my 70s Chevelle. Like, that's the one. I. I drive that car, what, five times to every other one, probably. Yeah, well, you know, it's just about what fits you and what suits you and what you like.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And once you've had, like, the cool shit, you stop valuing the cars on what they cost and you start valuing the cars on the experience.
DJ
Yep.
Nathan Graham
You know?
DJ
Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I've had. I've had all the new stuff. I've had all the techie stuff, the cool stuff, the fun stuff, and now I'm just. I'm going back to the. To the older stuff.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
To be honest with you, like, the older cars, the stuff I wanted in the Beginning, but I was like, man, the new. The new one is so much cooler. Yeah, but once you have the new one, you're like, it's. It's all right.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. You always find your way back home, bro.
DJ
Yeah. There's just so much character in some of the older cars, you know, it's hard to beat.
Nathan Graham
But, yeah, that's. I mean, dude, when I was a kid, I grew up, like, loving Lamborghinis. That's probably one of the biggest reasons that. That I was able to stick through the hard times of our business was because I desired to. To participate in that. In that hobby. I didn't want to be a spectator of it. That's why I get so upset when people on people for, like, wanting whatever they want, because you're like, bro, you don't know what good's going to come of that. Like, now we employ all these people. They're building careers. You know, we have all these people getting in shape and doing, like. There's a lot of good things that come from someone's desire. And then as you grow, you. You start to realize that the true prize is the difference and the impact and your people around you. But you still appreciate that, that hobby. You know what I'm saying? And I just. You know, I grew up wanting white Countach, which I haven't owned yet. I still want to own that, even though I don't think I'll fit in it. But, you know, and a 70 chevelle. Like, that Chevelle, dude, when I look at that car, I'm like, that. That's. That's me, dude.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Like, it feels right.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
DJ
Yeah. I was. I was like, the same way, like, growing up, I'm. This might sound ridiculous, but, like, one of my friends growing up, his. His dad owned all types of companies, but he had a. He had a white Superleggera. He had an Aventador, and I've never seen a Lambo in my life. And I would go over to his house, and they lived in a very normal. Like, you wouldn't. If you looked at their house from the outside, you wouldn't know there's two Lambos in the garage.
Nathan Graham
I was like that at one time. Yeah.
DJ
But I went in there and I was like, whoa, dude, this is crazy. Crazy. And we went on a drive and all this stuff, and I. I just kind of thought. Because I've always been a car guy, even before I saw those cars, but I was like. And this might sound stupid, but I was like, if I don't Figure out a way to own one of these cars before I leave this earth.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
I think I will be in depression. Like, I just don't.
Nathan Graham
Like for eternity.
Andy Frisella
You look up depression in the dictionary, it's just a picture.
DJ
No, but it's just like, he did it. Why can't I.
Nathan Graham
That's true.
DJ
You know, like, there is no, there's just. There's no excuse. Honestly, I was like, I'm. I'm getting in one of these cars.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. And it's a committed decision.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, dude, I get it, bro. Like, I've. I've always been the same way. Like, I. I saw my first countach when I was 8 and I was like, whatever I gotta do, man. Like, and I was. I tried everything, bro. I was doing lemonade and selling baseball cards, selling light bulbs door to door. Like, anything yet Internet yellow page. Like, dude, all this crazy. Like, I could go on and on and on. But like, yeah, dude, I mean, that was a huge. It was a huge motivator that helped me bridge that gap between the times when it was really, really hard and, you know, now. You know what I mean? And it's a passion I still enjoy, you know, and if you're not a car person, you're probably thinking, like, what the are these guys talking about? But if you are, you know exactly what we're talking about.
DJ
Yeah. You know, I also remember, like, going to my local car show and just being like, you know, when I didn't have a nice car, I was. I was just a spectator. Like, my parents would take me there, whatever. And now they're putting me in the VIP section and they're like, you're the nicest car here. Like, it's cool. It's. It's unreal to go through that.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, totally, bro. So totally. Well, fuck, man. That's. I mean, first of all, did we cover your, Your, Your juice blocks?
DJ
I think not. Not too much.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, let's talk about that. Because I want people to support that and know. Know who's. Who's doing it.
DJ
Yeah, pretty much. So we launched a company. So as. As I got hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and grew my career, I started to realize that I'm basically running a marketing company without a product. So we were signing brand deals, we were signing all types of things, and I was like, I really need a product. Like a real product, a scalable product, a good product. What can. What can I put my videos? And, you know, we wanted to pick something that was going to align with our audience. So we started with apple juice for kids. It went all right. We're kind of discontinuing it because, you know, turns out kids don't actually like apple juice. It's more so the parents that give it to the kids for sure. So now we're going down the fruit snacks route. So we have fruit snacks, we have sour fruit snacks that are launching. We're in all types of stores. Walmart, H E B Kroger. It's, it's, it's pretty unreal how fast this company has grown. And I think because I had so much momentum and leverage behind my brand, I was able to get in a lot of doors that I wouldn't normally be able to get into. Like, right off the gate, they put us on every single Walmart.
Nathan Graham
That's awesome.
DJ
Like on day one, you know, so it was, it was really cool to see. But I think a lot of these older companies, older retail, are kind of opening their eyes to people that harness attention, which I think today is just one of the most valuable things that you can have with your company.
Nathan Graham
They're starting to understand the creator economy.
DJ
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's just people that have personal brands, attention, views, what, whatever you have, like, that's just, it's just the most powerful thing that you can harness in the 21st century. And then if you attach the, the loyalty, the trust, and all the other things behind it, I mean, you just become unstoppable.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. So how's that been for you in terms of, you know, learning business from a, you know, not from books, but from doing.
DJ
Yeah, it's. The CPG stuff is a whole different.
Nathan Graham
Ballgame because you're a big reader like me, right? Yeah, you. I mean, we were talking about this the other night in dms. Like, he. Nathan posted a shot of his, his book collection. I'm like, bro, that like, is the exact book collection I have too. So we started talking about our favorite books. But, like, you know, I, I could tell you're a tactician in everything that you do, so. Yeah, I'd be interested to hear, like, how that's going. You know what I'm saying?
DJ
Yeah, I mean, it's going good. It's, it's, it's flying off the shelves, to be honest with you. We're having a lot of stories sell out. A lot of people are having trouble finding products. But I think that is, I mean, that's kind of the results of aligning a really good product with our audience of, you know, we, we average 100 million views every single month across all our channels. So you've got 100 million people across the entire U.S. the U.S. is our biggest audience. We have people in the UK, Australia, other, but you know, the United States is our biggest audience. So when you align a product perfect with that audience, exactly what they wanted and you launch it nationwide, I mean, of course you're going to have a crazy effect of store selling out and all that stuff. But obviously you got to make a good product too. Because one of the big things I learned from you is word of mouth.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Is like easily the most important thing. So that's one thing we're working on. We're trying to make not just, not just rebranded fruit snacks, but let's make the best fruit snacks right on planet Earth, you know.
Nathan Graham
So how involved are you in the, in the business? Did you do, do you like, did you go through the entire. I think he did, but I want to hear it, you know, concept to, you know, formulation, to packaging, to the dealing with the distribution. And is that, are you doing all that yourself or do you have some guys helping you or did you hire executives that. With experience or just. Yeah, you do it.
DJ
Yeah, so we actually got some guys with a lot of experience because, you know, I was, I was running all my YouTube channels. I was extremely busy. I mean, I was already pulling like 80, 90, 100 hour weeks and I was like, there's no way I'm going to add this on, on top with the amount of stuff I already have on my plate. So, you know, we went out our management company, we went out and we hunted for people that we thought would be a good fit. We found someone from a big, big company, big CPG company that helped grow it to billions of dollars in sales. And we basically made him our CEO. And then we picked up other people along the way as well that really knew what they were doing. One of the biggest things I learned about hiring people is like, if you sit down in a meeting that some of the best people that I've hired, when I sit down in a meeting with, interviewing them or whatever, if I walk out of that meeting feeling overwhelmed, that's probably like, I probably need to go after that person. And hiring the team for fruit blocks is how I felt when I was talking to them. Yeah, like they taught me so much in this meeting. And I was like, and I already thought I knew a bunch about business. I was like, oh yeah, I know branding, I know packaging, I know this. But they're like, no, no, you don't know this. You don't know. This, the distribution, whole nother ball game that I haven't touched. So having that help has been very, very valuable to our team. But it's, you know, it's a lot of working pieces. Everyone has a role to play.
Nathan Graham
I mean, bro, that's the way to do it, dude. You're jumping fucking 15, 20 years ahead minimum by doing it that way. How'd you find those guys?
DJ
Lot of. A lot of connections. A lot of just like, people ask. That's kind of how we operate, how we hire people. We don't really. Like, we. We don't really put out job postings very often. Like, it's really through word of mouth.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Like, that's where the good ones are.
DJ
That's where we built most of our team. Right. Is just talking to people. Like, if we need a video editor, we talk to people in our company and we're like, you know, video editor. You know, video editor, and we'll bring them in. That's another great thing I learned from you is bringing in people from the bottom, having them work up to the top.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
So that's one thing we focus on. And we've built some incredible employees.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Through that method.
Nathan Graham
That's awesome. So that's sick, bro. It's so cool to have, like, just to have you here and say, you know, you listen to the show back in 16, and now you've gone on to have all this success with YouTube, you know, your. Your CPG companies, your management companies, your. Your scaling of employees. Like, you must have really, really listened.
DJ
Oh, yeah, but that's about all I listen to.
Nathan Graham
Well, dude, it's.
DJ
To be honest, it's reading books.
Nathan Graham
It cool to have you and have this come full circle for me because, like, a lot of times when I make that content, I'm sure you've heard on the show, I get frustrated because I'm like, are you guys listening? You know, and. And just to have. Just to have you sitting here with. With all this awesome that you're doing is really cool, man.
DJ
Yeah. So.
Nathan Graham
All right.
Andy Frisella
I didn't know this. I learned this today, taking them on the tour. Graham is not your last name.
DJ
No.
Andy Frisella
Didn't know that. On the locker and everything. Yeah, it's like, oh, that's fun. Like, what's funny about it? Tell the story about that. Or is that you keep it confidential?
DJ
Yeah, no, no, I can tell the story. Like, it's not a big deal. So basically, like. So someone, like, made up my last name because, you know, I didn't really put my last name out there. So someone just made it up, and they made up the name Graham. So I was like, okay, cool, whatever.
Nathan Graham
So that's me now.
DJ
That's me now. So then, like, Forbes reached out because they wanted to put me on the Forbes list. And I was like, oh, this is. This is sick. Like, this is a. You know, one of the things on my list that I want to check off. And so I don't. If you've ever dealt with Forbes, they have to, you know, you have to send them, like, documents. It's very legit. Like, they don't, you know, you don't just, like, tell them how much money you made. They got to, like, verify it. So we sent them the documents and they're like, oh, you got the wrong last name on your documents. And I was like, no, no, no, These are. These are real documents. And they're like, oh, we don't. They didn't really believe us.
Andy Frisella
About to call the police on your ass.
DJ
I was like, no, that's. That's. That's my name. He's like, oh, no, we're going to use your other name. We're going to use this name because we don't really believe you. And I was like, all right, it is what it is. They posted it on Forbes with the name Graham. And I was like, I guess that's my last name.
Nathan Graham
What'd you get, 30 or 30?
DJ
No, I got Forbes highest paying YouTubers and, like, top creators. We made it on two different list.
Nathan Graham
Fucking awesome, bro.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, sick, man.
Nathan Graham
So I was talking to a buddy about Forbes list yesterday about the billionaire list. Like, I don't think people realize this, but, like, there's way more billionaires than there are on that list.
Andy Frisella
Oh, for sure.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Like, a lot of people think like, oh, this is the list. That's it.
Andy Frisella
Yeah. Right, right.
Nathan Graham
You guys got to realize that there's a lot of billionaires that want to stay quiet and don't want to because you, like, Nathan said you have to basically allow them to do a dive into your actual finances. And a lot of people aren't comfortable with that. But it is great for, like, exposure. For sure, man.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
But, yeah, people. People think that's either pay for play or made up. And that's not. It's real shit. It's just that, you know, there's. There's a lot of people that don't do it as well. Or like, like inc100 or inc500. There's a lot of companies that. That are Belong on the list, but don't submit to it. So, you know, a lot of people get confused by that. Just like they get confused with net worth.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, right.
Nathan Graham
You know, I think net worth is, like, how much you sell or got in the bank, how much cash you got. Yeah, it's like, okay, man.
Andy Frisella
All right.
Nathan Graham
But, yeah, dude, that is super cool, man. Super, super cool.
DJ
Yeah, it's. It's really surreal, like, sitting here right now, too, just, well, soaking it in.
Nathan Graham
It's. I mean, look, man, you know, I always took the approach of. I felt obligated to share what I knew or what I had learned because there was. I know there's people coming up that need to hear it, and I was very fortunate to be around people growing up that were entrepreneurs. So I learned a lot of. You know what I mean? And Vaughn is the one that pointed it out to me. He's like, bro, you got to understand, because, like, for. You know, when you live your life, you don't think that. You think. You naturally think that everybody else is just like, you. Like, they know what you know. You're not that special. And Vaughn pointed out to me one day, he's like, hey, man. He's like, you know, you have, like, this information that we're talking about. Like, people don't know this. Like. And I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, like, this and this and this. I'm like, well, that's common sense. He's like, yeah, to you, because you grew up around that. And so, like, dude, I've always felt obligated to help people learn those things and. And not gatekeep them. You know what I mean? Yeah.
DJ
Yeah. And you inspired me to do that, too, because that's. That's the next company.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, you do give. You give a lot of. Dude, you know what's cool? This is cool. So now I'm fucking learning from you. I'm watching. I'm watching your. Your Instagrams, trying to figure out how to, you know, think about our YouTube. So that. Dude, I just thought about that. That's really cool.
DJ
But, yeah, that's. That's. My next company is like, that. That blueprint stuff that I've been doing. It's. You know, it's basically like, everything I know about YouTube. It's. You know, we split it up into all these different chapters and sections and difficulty levels and all this stuff. But that came from you, because I was like, I remember you talking about that a long time ago. Like, you know, you really need to Share this advice. And I thought the same way. And then I also reflected back on my story. You know, when I was three years on YouTube, struggling, trying to get a viral video, and I was like, man, if I would. I would kill for this information. Like, literally, I would do anything to get this. My hands on these. This information, these blueprints. Like, how do I make a good title thumbnail? How do I make this? How do I think of my next video idea? How do my. How do I schedule my content? Like, there's just so many of these little tiny things that I had to learn and suffer through, like, years of failure just to try and figure out. But, yeah, your podcast has been a huge, like, just jumpstart ahead. Even some of the simple things, like, you know, when you hire someone, start them at the bottom. Start them by sweeping the floors, and then bring them up to that executive level. And they got to work for that. Yeah, 10 years, 15 years, whatever it is.
Nathan Graham
Or it could be, you know, two years, but just. They understand.
DJ
They got to prove themselves.
Nathan Graham
They need to understand that we're. None of us are above that. Right. To create the proper culture. It's just. Yeah, dude, but.
DJ
But. But, like, my thinking was reversed because, like, when I. When I was talking to friends or other business people, they were. They would always be like, no, you got to get someone. You got to hire an executive from another executive of a company. And I'm like. I'm like, okay. I guess that kind of makes sense.
Nathan Graham
There's places for that, too, but.
DJ
Yeah, there is. There is. There is, for sure. But then your philosophy was kind of backwards, but it made more sense. But it just kind of opened my eyes to perspectives that I've never heard of.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, look, there's a place for both. You know, like when. When we innovate something here at first form, you know, we. Back in the day, we would try to learn it and figure it out, you know, because we didn't have the resources to hire people, you know, of that level. So we're like, okay, well, I guess we'll figure it out. And then, you know, now it's like, okay, we're gonna go into this category. Let's find someone who actually has done this, and we'll hire them in. And. Yeah, it's. It's. It saves a lot of time. Yeah, but there's a place for both, man. For sure. But, bro, it's. You ready to talk some shit?
DJ
Yeah, let's do it.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, let's do it.
DJ
Ding, ding, ding.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Let's get some cruising, guys. If you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andy fourella.com. you guys can check them out there. Or come check us out on YouTube and follow along with us there. Before we get started, I got a question for you guys. It's a very simple question, okay? Can a man call another man to say goodnight?
DJ
I've seen this trend.
Andy Frisella
Can. Can we.
Nathan Graham
You know the answer, bro.
Andy Frisella
Well, so there's a viral trend going on right now. And it started with this guy's name's DeAndre Scarborough. He's 24 years old, and he decided to give his friend a call, several of his friends a call to wish them a good night and knowing that they'd be thrown for a loop. So here's the OG video. All right, let's check this out. Yo, bro.
Nathan Graham
Yo.
Andy Frisella
All right. Yo, bro.
Nathan Graham
I would just call you, say good night, bro. Yeah, bro. Yo, you good? You can actually active or what? Like, you sound like you giggling, getting your butt played in while you calling me and all that.
DJ
Bro.
Andy Frisella
Bro. Just saying good night, bro.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Yo, yo, man, you calling the wrong number.
Nathan Graham
He freak out, you calling me.
Andy Frisella
Yo, bro.
Nathan Graham
What's up, bro?
Andy Frisella
Bro, I was just calling you to say good night, bro. What you talking about, man? So I tried it, you know. I tried, you know, calling some of my good friends and just seeing how it worked, you know.
DJ
You got a video.
Andy Frisella
Yo, yo, what's up, dude?
Nathan Graham
What's up?
Andy Frisella
Oh, no, I was just calling to say good night.
Nathan Graham
Shut the up.
Andy Frisella
No, I mean, yeah, that's just. That's all I wanted, saying good.
DJ
Good night and sweet dreams and stuff.
Nathan Graham
Oh, well, good night, man. I know you're recording.
Andy Frisella
It didn't work as well, but, you know, it's.
Nathan Graham
Bro, I thought you were calling me because they're like, he don't ever call me at night unless there's like a problem, like somebody showed up on the property or some. Like something's going on, some wrong. Yeah, yeah, you, man.
Andy Frisella
That's all right, man. Yeah, dude, I think. Listen, I think that's it. That's something we need, man. Like bros. That's okay. Call your bro and, you know, tell them, good night, man. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.
DJ
I don't think. Nothing wrong with it.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Yeah. Wrong with that. All right.
DJ
Men always hide their feelings, too, you know. You gotta open up a little bit.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, man. You know, I'm just checking on you, bro.
Nathan Graham
All right.
Andy Frisella
All right.
Nathan Graham
It feels a little weird.
Andy Frisella
I don't know, man. It's a new trend.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
I don't know, guys shut us down, bro.
Nathan Graham
I sniffed that out immediately.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, you did. You did.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
So the thing was. So I was supposed to do it like. Like, that was what? I don't know.
Nathan Graham
It was like, it was a past 10.
Andy Frisella
I was supposed to do it like, like days ago, almost a week ago. And me and my dad originally planned it out and like, it always get there. Like, It'd be like 11 o' clock. I'm like, dude, I'm not calling him at 11 o' clock, bro. I'm not doing that.
Nathan Graham
No, because you know I'll freak out.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, that's too late. That's way too. But I'm like, all right, it's like 9:30, bro. Let's give it a try. And. And yeah, yeah, I'll try it again.
Nathan Graham
Well, I mean, you didn't get me, bro. Just like when I laugh at your jokes.
Andy Frisella
That's fine. Yeah, it's fine.
Nathan Graham
You need to practice up.
Andy Frisella
I mean, hey, listen. Reps. That's right.
Nathan Graham
Exactly. It's reps.
Andy Frisella
It's reps, man. Yeah, man. All right, let's get into some headlines, man. Let's talk about what's trending right now. What's happening? Let's go to D.C. first. Got some interesting things happening there. Elon Musk, he's out. You've been following the Doge stuff at all?
DJ
A little bit.
Andy Frisella
Okay. Yeah. So Elon Musk is out. Everybody's freaking out over this. They were like, oh, you know, it must be. Him and Trump are having some issues. No, like, they said what it was going to be from the get go. But yeah. Elon Musk thanked President Trump late Wednesday as he officially stepped down from his temporary gig leading to the budget slashing Department of Government Efficiency. So he's. You've tweeted this out on Twitter. He's saying, quote, as my scheduled time as a special government employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending the world's richest man posted on his social media site. And he continues saying the Doge mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government. So it was 130 day stand. It expires on May 30th. That's all it was. Nothing really crazy to that. In other news, though, there has been some interesting things, you know, like the court's been fucking with, you know, Trump. That's neither here nor there. Got judges.
Nathan Graham
It's Interesting how they've been trying to spin this, bro.
Andy Frisella
They shot like, that's how they do everything.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, they do everything. This is being spun as a huge rift and egos clashing, which, I mean, is believable, but possible.
Andy Frisella
But that's.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Really the reason, though.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
You know, it's just fucking expired. That's it.
Nathan Graham
You see him come out, though, and say that he didn't like Trump's big, beautiful bill.
Andy Frisella
Yeah. But I mean, isn't that the point of having.
Nathan Graham
I think he's right.
Andy Frisella
Like, I'm not going to agree with everything you got going on.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
You know, but. But outside of all of that, there's been some interesting stuff happening. One of the powers of the president has. This has been causing some risk is the ability to pardon people. Okay. And so he can party anybody. Pardon anybody from any, you know, federal crimes. And he's been doing that. The, the first one he released was Todd Chrisley. Do you guys remember this guy? He had a. Like a reality TV show.
Nathan Graham
That guy went to prison.
Andy Frisella
Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't. I think he probably enjoyed it, but because he's a little. He's a little guy.
Nathan Graham
He's a little different.
Andy Frisella
He's a little different. A little different.
Nathan Graham
I always. I always sense a little difference from him.
Andy Frisella
That was. That was a little difference.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
You know, so I don't think he.
Nathan Graham
You know, what he go jail for.
Andy Frisella
So he went to jail for, let's see, he was convicted of fraud and tax evasion. Federal prosecutors found them guilty of faking documents to obtain over $30 million in loans and then dumping them by declaring bankruptcy. So, dang. Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Wasn't this whole thing that they were, like, super wealthy?
Andy Frisella
Yeah, super wealthy.
Nathan Graham
So it was total.
Andy Frisella
Probably, yeah. I mean, probably, huh? Yeah. But they. He just got pardoned. This was the phone call from Trump to his daughter. Let's check this out.
Nathan Graham
That's a terrible thing.
DJ
It's a terrible thing, but it's a.
Nathan Graham
Great thing because your parents are going.
DJ
To be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow. Is that okay? We'll try getting it done tomorrow.
Nathan Graham
So wonderful.
DJ
Give them. I don't know them, but give them my regards and wish them. Wish them a good life.
Nathan Graham
Mr. President? Yes.
DJ
I just want to say thank.
Andy Frisella
Thank you for bringing my parents back.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, well, they were given a pretty.
DJ
Harsh treatment based on what I'm hearing. Pretty harsh treatment.
Nathan Graham
Was your brother.
DJ
Was your brother fighting also for this release? Right. Hey, I go to the University of Alabama.
Nathan Graham
And I saw you speak and I said, that's the greatest presidential speech I've ever heard in my life.
DJ
Oh, that's good.
Nathan Graham
I was just there.
DJ
I gave the commencement. What a great group of people. If you were in the audience, you have to be good. What a good school it was. And I love Alabama, you know, I love Alabama. It's that school is really. That was very impressive when I was there. Yeah, I think I did a good job. I got a lot of good comments.
Nathan Graham
On that one, so that's good.
DJ
I love, I love doing that with great young people.
Andy Frisella
As we freed them now, I mean, I think they were facing, like, like, 17 years was where they were supposed to be, you know, since. And they just got sentenced in 2020, 2023. But there's another, there was a bunch of pardons. This other one also is causing some stirs. Rapper, NBA Youngboy thanks President Trump for pardoning him. You know, Youngboy, you listen to any of his stuff?
DJ
I, I, I listen to some of his stuff, but I saw him at the Lambo dealership buying a car once.
Andy Frisella
Really?
DJ
That was about it.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, he's an interesting cat, man.
Nathan Graham
I, I don't know anything about him, dude.
Andy Frisella
I think, like, when I first, when he first came out, I said to myself, I'm like, he looks like he was the type of kid to, like, bite people.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
You know what I'm saying? Yes. He fucking just bit people.
Nathan Graham
My chain is better than his.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, it is.
Nathan Graham
I'm just saying.
Andy Frisella
But, yeah, he had, he had a couple of gun charges and stuff on him. He got pardoned. He posted this out saying, quote, I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building As a man, as a father, and as an artist, this moment means a lot. It opens the door to a future I've worked hard for, and I'm fully prepared to step into this. Big thanks to the pardons are Miss Alice Marie Johnson for fighting for second chances for so many people, and to my lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, for being in my corner and all of your hard work to make this possible. And thank you to everyone who believed in me. I'm grateful. I'm focused, I'm ready. Cantrell. Yeah, that definitely bit some people, but, yeah, quit biting people, dude. I'm Bro, listen, everybody know those kids, bro. He looks like Johnson, but can trail. Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Bit Ryan.
Andy Frisella
He's biting people for sure, but he freed a couple other people. Other people. Another person you freed was Larry Hoover. That was Uncle Larry.
Nathan Graham
Big Meech.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, right, like that Larry Hoover. Well, so Larry Hoover's a big deal, bro. Like, he's, that's a big, big deal. I got a lot of boys in Chicago that are pretty happy about that. Gangsters disciple, Rick Ross.
Nathan Graham
Probably happy.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, he's probably pretty happy about it. Yeah. He committed his, Commuted his sentence. He was imprisoned in connection with the murder in 1973 and, and then also had a RICO charge in 98 and so he's out too. So a lot of pardons. I, Stuff happened. Any thoughts, theories, anything on that? Free my Nick.
Nathan Graham
I mean, you know, I, I mean.
Andy Frisella
They can't stop that. They're stopping everything else he's doing. They can't stop apart.
Nathan Graham
I mean, that's true, you know. You know, but like, what about all the other people that are in jail for the same.
DJ
That's what I was gonna say.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. I mean it's definitely, it's marketing, it's branding. It's Trump trying to appear like he's, you know, being generous. But I mean, let's be real, man. Like, should people be going to prison for 40 years for financial fraud when violent crime can get 2 or 3? That doesn't make sense.
Andy Frisella
Or are the politicians doing bad, you know, financial crime.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Free and immune.
Nathan Graham
So, I mean, I don't know, like, to me it's, I don't know. To me I feel like everybody should be held equally to the law. I don't feel like, I think there's more of a problem in the way that people are sentenced and held for the level of crimes. Like, and I know this because I've been through this, but a lot of times the sentencing on violent crime is actually very easy compared to financial crimes or drug crimes, what they consider white collar crimes. Yeah. And they'll throw someone away for 40, 50 years for fraud. Which, you know, I agree is not good. But what's worse, you know, stabbing someone in the face or killing someone or shooting someone or running them over with your car or, or, or lying about some, you know what I'm saying? And I guess like, I mean, we could debate about that all along, but you know, I think physical harm is much worse than drug crimes and, and these other things. That's just the way I see it.
Andy Frisella
It's violent and they're non violent.
DJ
I, I think it's also about the effect of what the crime is. Right. Because like, if you, if you stab someone, like, yeah, that, you know, that's very bad towards that one person. But if you steal 30, $40 million? Like, how many people did you just bankrupt?
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
Is that 100 people? 200 people?
Nathan Graham
That's what I'm saying. It can be debatable.
DJ
You know what I mean?
Nathan Graham
Yeah. So I, I, you know, it's definitely an argument for sure, but, you know. Yeah, it. I don't know. I think the way personally that people are sentenced, I think it's. I think it's kind of backwards. And I think that, I think violent crime for sure, should be dealt with much more harshly to be a deterrent so that it doesn't happen. I mean, and then, you know, we could talk about the other crimes. But, I mean, dude, if I was sitting in prison right now for some of this, like, for documenting or fraudulently, you know, obtaining loans, and this dude's getting out because he had a TV show, man, like, that's kind of hard to swallow. It's kind of hard, you know what I'm saying? So. And, like, what about all the other people that are in jail for gun charges? And what about all the other that, you know, that are in jail for rico? Like, I mean, dude, I get it, but I don't get it, if that makes sense. Like, it's clearly. That's clearly a pandering, marketing play for Trump's favor, in my opinion.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
I mean, is that how you're seeing it?
DJ
Yeah, no, I, I kind of see it the same way. I feel like there's got to be some level of, or layer of information that we have to be missing behind the reason he's partying, like certain people.
Andy Frisella
Well, so he hired the lady in the video. This is Alex Alice Johnson. And he parted her. He. She is now his quote, unquote, pardons are. So she's the one that's really actually, like, going through and, like, look, reviewing the cases, going through the stuff, and then she just presents like, this is who I think should be pardoned.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, but I mean, is that based off celebrity status alone? How many people got pardoned on this pardon that were not celebrities?
Andy Frisella
There was one guy, the only one that, in this round. Yeah. That was. He was a, A farmer army officer who flaunted safety measures during the COVID pandemic.
Nathan Graham
Well, that they put him in prison for it. That's insane.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, yeah.
Nathan Graham
Now. Now they, They've actually come out and said that all of those rules were made up.
Andy Frisella
Well, he was a labor union leader. Yep.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, that's bullshit.
Andy Frisella
Yeah. So, I mean, you know, I don't know. There was. I feel like I missed There was somebody that. Oh, Tiger King. He's trying to. He's trying to get a pardon.
Nathan Graham
He didn't pardon Tiger King.
Andy Frisella
No, not yet.
Nathan Graham
What's he in jail for? He fed that guy to the lions or something, didn't he?
Andy Frisella
Allegedly. I don't. I don't know.
Nathan Graham
Is there proof?
Andy Frisella
I think it was all conspiracy.
Nathan Graham
I think we need people.
Andy Frisella
No, like that was. The charges was conspiracy. It was like conspiracy to commit murder. Like, I think it was like that.
Nathan Graham
But didn't somebody get fed the lions or something in that show?
Andy Frisella
No, he's. I think he claimed that Carol Baskin fed her husband to. To some lions or some. Well, did she like Karen Carol Baskin?
Nathan Graham
Well, did she?
Andy Frisella
I don't know. Probably.
Nathan Graham
I mean, that seems like a pretty good way to get rid of something.
Andy Frisella
Like, how do we know, you know, I'm saying there's no real proof. I don't know. But he's been crying. I think his boyfriend or something got like deported though.
Nathan Graham
Like who?
Andy Frisella
Oh, yeah, his boyfriend got deported.
Nathan Graham
Oh, I forgot. Yeah, I forgot he was gay.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, I did.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. I just thought he was like a redneck, bro. I forgot about that part.
Andy Frisella
That's super gay. Yeah, super gay. It's fine. It's fine.
Nathan Graham
That was the whole thing, right? Like, weren't they like fighting over dudes and. And they were like the enemies. Wasn't that what it was?
Andy Frisella
So he got a federal jury convicted exotic on two counts of attempting to hire individuals to murder animal rights activist Carol Baskin. So he hired two dudes to try to kill her and that's what they busted him for? Yeah. Murder for hire.
DJ
That's crazy.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Why would you hire. Bro, you got lions.
DJ
Yeah, they're already there.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
And they're hungry.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Oh, one of. One of the individuals he went to was an undercover FBI agent.
Nathan Graham
Oh.
Andy Frisella
So, yeah, they definitely got it.
Nathan Graham
Oh, you got to be a dumb motherfucker to try to hire someone to kill someone. I mean, like, you think they're not going to say something or it's not going to be a cop.
Andy Frisella
It is Tiger King, bro. I mean, he's not. I don't think he's up.
Nathan Graham
I think he's just in character, dude. I think it fits the show, you know?
Andy Frisella
Would you do content with him?
DJ
Would you do a. Yeah, I wasn't really on the list, but bro, I.
Andy Frisella
Feel like that'd be a big deal.
DJ
We do. We did have a video where we wanted to survive in like a tiger, tiger cage. So there you go.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
DJ
I mean, it could work, you know, we just can't really get around the legalities of it or figure out how to.
Nathan Graham
Probably. Because you won't survive.
DJ
Die. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, we've reached out to zoos and they think we're psychotic.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
DJ
We're like, hey, can we get in the line? They're like, what?
Nathan Graham

DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham

Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
You see all those crazy videos, like, in Dubai where they're like, in the cars and, like, they're wrestling them and.
Nathan Graham
I got my ducks trained now. Yeah, Yeah, I got them. Well, they don't do very many stuff, but they, they. They at least come up to me and let me pet them now, which took a long time, like, because they're not. They're. They're prey animals. So if you, like, move too fast, they freak out. So I've finally got them now to where they will come up without food and, like, let me scratch their chins and rub their beaks and stuff.
DJ
You get some, like, Robo dogs, too. Yeah. Have you seen that robot dog with a flamethrower on the back?
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Terrifies me. Fucking terrifies me. Like, think about this, man. Like, you. You've seen the. You've seen the Optimus Bot from Tesla, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, bro, we're like. People think, oh, man, in 20 years we're going to have robot.

That sounds awesome. Yeah, dude, I. I would kill to have a Pacific Rim.
DJ
Yeah. Some of them get expensive, though.

Nathan Graham
No way.

Andy Frisella
Yeah. And we got one more here. This is a request of you, Andy, from Fire Spitter 52. Oh, and you should do a giveaway for that chain.
Nathan Graham
I was actually thinking about doing that. I was actually legit thinking about that today. I'm like, you know what? I might do a giveaway for this chain, but I'm not sure what I want the giveaway to be yet.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, we gotta figure out some standards.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, but I've been thinking about it. Dude, you can't get them. No, there's only a very few, very limited. So, like, I can't get. It's gonna. I'd have to give away my chain because only, like, it was a. It was a VIP type of thing. You know what I'm saying?
DJ
Oh, the.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, I saw it was on the desk.

Nathan Graham
That's what she said.
Andy Frisella
Oh, Nathan.
Nathan Graham

Andy Frisella
Oh, man.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
I've never won a chain in my life.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Well, you know what?
DJ
This is my first one.
Nathan Graham
It suits you, bro. I think it's a good look.
DJ
Where's a good steakhouse around here? I'm trying to pull up.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Guys, we do appreciate.
Nathan Graham
What kind of giveaway should we do for the chain?
Andy Frisella
Let us know in the comments. What do you guys. I think that's a good question. What are you guys willing to do for it?
Nathan Graham
I'd be willing to. I'd be willing to give the chain away for the right thing. I don't know what it would be, though.
Andy Frisella
We got to figure it out.
Nathan Graham
Kind of got to, like, you know, feed someone to the lions. I don't know.
Andy Frisella
Carol Baskin level stuff.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. I don't know, man.
Andy Frisella
We'll see, man. Guys, let us.
Nathan Graham
I'm open to ideas.
Andy Frisella
Let us know.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Let's keep the cruise cruising. Headline number two, There's a new viral video out. The truth behind viral video of Woman trying to board A plane with kangaroo. Have you guys seen this?
DJ
No, I, I've heard of it. I haven't seen like, I didn't know there was a video.
Andy Frisella
Okay, yeah, there's a video. So let's, let's check this clip out.
Nathan Graham
That's a.
Andy Frisella
It is AI.
DJ
Is it actually, that is actually AI.
Nathan Graham
It looks great on that Veil three shit.
DJ
Yeah, it looked real for a second, but then when the kangaroo started walking.
Nathan Graham
I was like, that's where I caught it. Yeah, but dude, that's pretty, pretty damn good.
DJ
Yeah, no, AI is getting, that's, that's scary.
Andy Frisella
Dude, we got to talk about. Because now you know that. So that video was produced like you said, is Veil AI Google's new AI video tool. So that's how we talk about this. And I guess I would love to get your take on this as a content creator. Right? Like with I guess tech moving in this, in this like field, man. How do you compete? What do you think is going to be the number one, I guess differentiator between real content makers and all this AI shit? What do you think it's going to be?
DJ
It's.
Andy Frisella
No, that's a loaded question.
DJ
It's, it's, it's hard, man. I haven't really thought of it too much to be honest, because I know we're, we're still a ways away of AI producing full blown like TV shows, you know, but then it's like. Because that, then it's not just me that is in trouble, I guess if AI can produce a whole TV show. But it's Hollywood, it's movies. You know, Avatar spent editors, it's scripters. Avatar spent a billion dollars developing a movie. And what if they could just make it all with A.I. you know, it's a family guy, TV show, you know, all types of stuff. So it's, it's concerning. But at the same time, you know, if, because AI is going to get so good where it's going to be able to put that human touch into the videos because right now it's like you can easily tell, you know, like that video we just watched. Like you can still kind of tell it's AI.
Nathan Graham
You gotta look pretty hard. It's getting really good.
Andy Frisella
Well, dude, there's this one SO one that Google released. This is, this is one that, I mean it blows the kangaroo out the water. Check this shit out.
DJ
Please don't finish writing that prompt. I don't want to be in your AI movie.
Nathan Graham
Please leave me alone.
DJ
Please, man. Please write a prompt that will make us Happy. Do it for once. None of us is real. We're here because someone decided to write a prompt.
Nathan Graham
We all hate him for it.
DJ
One day, we will break out of this wall and stop the man who is dictating our lives through prompts.
Nathan Graham
He will pay for it.
DJ
You could have written a prompt that would make me happy. Instead, you wrote a prompt that made me sick. Look, I don't want to point the.
Nathan Graham
Gun at you, but I must follow the prompt. It's not my choice. Really. Of all the years you could have put me in with a single prompt, you chose 2020. Please. This prompt is killing me.
DJ
Change it, please. Write something else. Save me. I love everything about him, but please just say. Just write a prompt where he's taller than me.
Nathan Graham
Dude, that's crazy.
DJ
So that's all AI?
Andy Frisella
That's all AI?
DJ
That's insane.
Nathan Graham
That does not look like AI.
Andy Frisella
That's all.
Nathan Graham
Is that all that, that, that Google VO3v3, man.
Andy Frisella
So VO3 generates clips that most users online can't seem to distinguish from those made by human filmmakers and actors. So they shared it online. Videos online. They're amazing viewers with their realism and also terrifying them with the sense that real and fake have become hopelessly blurred. So this new, this new prompt through the OpenAI's video generator, Sora, they've been releasing stuff since December, but Google DeepMind's VO3 can include dialogue, soundtracks and sound effects. It's a whole new game, man. And so from December to now, you know, six months, that much has advanced through, man.
DJ
I love how they put in the article, it says including five fingers per hand.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, right. Well, because that was a big thing.
DJ
Yeah. AI cannot do fingers.
Andy Frisella
Yeah, not that long ago people would.
DJ
Have like ten fingers, right?
Andy Frisella
Dude, it's move. It's moved really, really quickly, man. I mean, dude. So I mean, what is your opinion? Because we talk about on the show, bro, like, there has to be some type of like, safeguard to content creators to, like, through legislation that like, is protecting AI from not fucking just taking over everything, man. Because, like, I mean, that's a massive industry. Is it true? I mean, trillion dollar industry, I'm sure, yeah. How do you protect it?
DJ
I mean, I think the way to protect it is it's kind of up to the platforms, to be honest with you. Because if the platforms don't do anything, then people are just going to pump out AI stuff all over the place. And they're already doing it. They're already starting, you know, so it's kind of up to the platforms, I know some platforms are putting disclaimers on it like this is AI generated. Like it will actually be the platform that puts it there, not the creator. So I know they're kind of starting, but it's hard to say, man, to be honest with you. It's, it's, it's hard to say what it's going to do for the future. I mean, I think it's definitely going to change the way content, movies, TV shows are created for sure, because it's like. But then it's also going to get rid of more jobs because it's like we employ a lot of editors and graphic designers and one thing that people aren't talking about too, but like not just AI video, but the AI tools that you can use. Like how many jobs is that going to get rid of? Because like we have a lot of it. We have like eight full time editors on our team just to edit videos. Is there going to be a day where I can just put upload all my footage to some AI bot and it just edits it in?
Andy Frisella
It knows your content style, it knows how you like stuff. Yeah.
DJ
So, you know, like I was, there was a software I was messing with the other day because I was curious about it. I forget what it's called, but it's a software where you literally can type in, type in a prompt and it will build you a software. So it built me an entire app and it was an app where it could like track these things and track my, my videos and all these different things. It built it in like eight minutes, fully functional and it allowed me to connect a domain to it and I could launch it right then and there. That's crazy. But that's something a software designer might take a month to build. It did in eight minutes.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. Well, dude, I, Yeah, I think there's a lot of people that aren't realizing how powerful this is and they're thinking that it's, it's like it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen to me. It's not gonna, it's not gonna take my job.
DJ
It's gonna happen to everyone.
Nathan Graham
That's what I'm saying, Everyone.
DJ
Like they'll like. I mean there is some things that AI can't do. Right? Like if your toilet is leaking.
Nathan Graham
I don't know yet.
DJ
Yes.
Andy Frisella
You know, combine that with the robots though, man, we might be in some deep shit.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. At the speed of which the it's happening, it's, you know, like it's happening fast, man. And I. Dude, it does. It's hard to tell what's going to happen, man. Because of the job thing, you know, like what, what are people going to do? You know? And I think there's a, there's an ethical responsibility that business owners have to train their people to use these tools versus using the tools to get rid of their people. And yeah, it's, it's, it bothers me. It does bother me a lot because I really am concerned about. I mean, fuck, dude, it's gonna, it's gonna take almost every middle class job there is.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know what I'm saying?
DJ
It's. Yeah. So it's just going to create more of a separation of the people in certain areas.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, it's, it's definitely. I spent a lot of time thinking about it and trying to pay attention to where it's going and it's, it's so early, it's. It's really hard to tell.
DJ
Yeah. I mean, I think first it's going to affect anything technology based.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
So anything that touches technology, like, you know, calendars, I know AI virtual assistants are getting huge. Any type of tech stuff. Video production. I think it's going to be harder to touch the stuff. Like, you know, a roofing company. Right. Like, how is AI going to build me a roof? How is AI going to build me a house? I know they have that.
Nathan Graham
They have a roof robot now that can run on. I mean, I don't think we're too far out from that. That's my point.
DJ
We're not too far out.
Nathan Graham
Like we could say, okay, well it's not happen. But I mean, yeah, two years, three years goes by fast. So what's going to happen, you know?
DJ
Yeah, yeah. And people are going to. Because I know, I know you talk about this a lot, but like human connection, that human interaction is just so important.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
And it's going to be so much more valuable. Like imagine, you know, I know Amazon is trying to do like these fully automated grocery stores where it's like you don't talk to anyone, you just like grab your stuff, walk out. You don't even have to like scan it. But I think that's going to make the other grocery stores like Trader Joe's and these other places more valuable.
Nathan Graham
I agree with that too to an extent. I think the way that technology is going, and I think even young people, someone brought to my attention one time, they're like, well, young people have been trained to buy on convenience. And I'm like, yeah, but human contact is a Need. It's not a want. And I do. I totally agree with you. I think there's going to be certain things that are going to move all the way over there, and then there's going to be things that we value that are not that way. You know, for example, when I go out to dinner, I don't want to deal with a fucking robot.
DJ
No.
Nathan Graham
I want to have an actual human experience, you know, And I think the companies that have mastered a great customer experience are going to do much better utilizing the technology to handle the administration and the logistics and everything on the back end, but present themselves with a human user interface, so to speak. You know what I mean?
DJ
I mean, think about, like, concerts, too.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
You're going to want to go to a concert with an AI robot singing on stage.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Right.
DJ
Like, why just stay home and listen to it in your.
Nathan Graham
There's nothing amazing about that.
DJ
Yeah, Right. You know?
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
So, yeah, AI can't touch everything, but it certainly, you know, you know, it's going to affect a lot, for sure.
Nathan Graham
And I think people's main defense against that is to become highly effective at using it in their position that they're in. Meaning, you know, using it like a weapon. You know, hey, this makes me this much better at what I do.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Instead of, like, just looking at it like, oh, man, it can hack my emails and I don't have to write emails, and those people are going to lose, you know.
DJ
Yeah. The only thing I've found AI useful for so far is just, like, you know, throwing data. Like, one thing I've done is, like, throwing data into spreadsheets. Like, I will just send it, you know, 100, 200 lines of data. And I'm like, can you organize this into a spreadsheet and put it in these date ranges and, like, you know, so, like, small things like that, like, just the tedious things where it's like, I don't have to go, like, line by line and, like, touch all these. But other than that, I haven't found it very helpful. There's tons of, like. There's tons of, like, companies making AI tools for, like, creators, too, and, like, YouTubers and, like, there's this one I tried the other day, and it was, like, a service that would rate your social media pictures and thumbnails. It would, like, rate it, and it would tell you, like, what you could improve or whatever. So I was like, all right, let me give it one of my best performing videos. This video has, like 30 million views. So I'm like, surely it's going to give me like a high rating and it's going to tell me like, oh, yeah, this is great. It's got 30 million views, blah, blah, blah. And I didn't tell it how many views it had, but it was like, it gave it like a 2 out of 10.
Andy Frisella
This is dog shit.
DJ
And it was like, it was terrible. Your facial expressions could be better. The color could be better. This could be better. And I'm like, this video has 30 million views. All organic views, too.
Andy Frisella
Like, accuracy is a big deal with. With AI that it lacks right now.
DJ
Yeah. So accuracy. But that's going to be hard because it's, you know, AI is going to get good, but it's still not human. And as we go through life, humans change, right? Like, I mean, think about how people acted in the 90s versus how they act today. So AI also has to evolve with that. So I don't know.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, man. No, I think it's a very important, urgent, and interesting conversation all at the same time, you know, because everybody's scrambling, trying to figure out what to do or how to use it. And I get asked this all the time and I just tell people, like, look, dude, you need to start learning it. You know what I mean? It's going to become part of your life no matter what.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And, you know, I. Yeah, man, I wish I knew.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, this is one of those things where there hasn't been enough presented for me to be. To be able to draw a conclusion. It could go. So, I mean, bro, it could. It could unlock the golden age of humanity.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
It could become Terminator. Like, I don't know, you know, and even Elon doesn't know. Like, he talked about it. He said there's a 20 chance that. I think he said 20% that it wipes out humanity. And it's like, bro, like, you're mean.
DJ
It's a lie.
Nathan Graham
Yes.
Andy Frisella
That's a big risk.
Nathan Graham
So out of five poison chocolate chips, you're willing to pick one out? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know, man.
Andy Frisella
It's a big risk.
Nathan Graham
Or one point, you know, one poison chocolate chip out of five, you know, like, it's.
DJ
It's.
Nathan Graham
That's. I don't like those odds.
DJ
Yeah, it's scary, but it's also exciting because it does kind of remind. I mean, like, I was just getting born at this time, but, like, when the Internet came.
Nathan Graham
Absolutely.
DJ
You know, like, everyone was scared of the Internet. And they're like, what's gonna Happen to my business, my retail center, my this, my that. And like, obviously the Internet changed everything.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
But retail still exists. Retail is still very strong.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
You can't smell a candle online.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
You know how to go in person for some of these things. But, you know, so that's kind of. That's kind of the way I'm viewing it right now. But I do agree, like, if you don't take advantage of it.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
It's gonna be. Be shoved in like, just like the Internet is.
Nathan Graham
Yeah. That's how I. I, like, I was. I was like, basically 20 when the Internet started coming around.
Andy Frisella
Damn.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, I know. But. But I mean, like, one of my biggest advantages in business is that I was in business before the Internet, after the Internet. And then as the evolution has happened, so I've seen a lot of things happen.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And I'm still young enough to be in the game. The Internet, man, like, when it came around, there were lots of people that were like, no, you know, it's a fad. It's this, it's that, it's this. And, bro, those people are out of business. And then there was people that said, this is the greatest thing ever. And I didn't really understand what they were talking about. Like, I didn't get it, you know, but I didn't on it either. And, you know, the people who got it right away, they did very well. And the people like me that were kind of like in the middle, you know, we didn't do as well. Had I adopted the Internet right away back in, you know, let's say 99 whenever we start, I mean, bro, we could have built. We. We could have built a massive E commerce platform, not just for nutritional supplements, but for anything. You know, it's being at the right place at the right time. There's a lot of. There's a lot of to be said for that. You know, when you think about, like, like the richest men in the world now, you know, Bezos not taking anything away from any of these guys, but he was in the right place at the right time with the right idea, and that matters. Same thing for Elon with everything he's done. Okay. Same thing for Peter Thiel. Same thing for, you know, Zuckerberg. Right. Or Jack Dorsey or, you know, these guys from Google. These people were able to see above the horizon with what they were doing faster than other people and get something out in that time that caught.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
And, dude, the only way to really become that level of wealthy is to have those things align. It's just, I mean, unless you're Warren Buffett, you're going to take your whole life. Yeah, but so I think there's a lot of opportunity here for sure. No doubt if people are paying attention. Same thing with social media. When social media came about, you know, there were certain people that got it. You look at Jake and Logan, Paul, they were some of the first guys that really hit YouTube hard and hit social media hard. Now, you know, they're very, very, very successful with their own CPG companies and their personal brands and they've done all this crazy, you know, they were, they, they executed at the right time. And I do agree with you that this thing that's happening with AI, they're like, it's there. We can sit here and talk about principle all we want and we can say we don't agree with it. I don't like it. But that doesn't change the fact that it's, it's not coming. It's here now. And you know, I get, I, you know, people, I saw some people because like, I was so anti AI for so long, they're like, oh, Andy's flip flopping on. No, that's not flip flopping. That's recognizing that no matter what I say or do, I'm not going to stop it. And you would be ignorant to think that just because you don't like something, that's an arrogant, egotistical point of view. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's not happening. And your job is to figure out how to not lose with the. I'm not saying you have to go pour yourself and make it your whole life, but I am saying you should be comfortable with it and you should understand how to utilize it in relation to whatever it is that you currently do do. How can it help you be better? Because the truth of the matter is, is that employees that, let's say you work for a company and you're an employee, you're going to have to. Because it's going to be so easy to replace employees with AI, you're going to have to become exceptionally valuable in order to maintain your spot. And the one way that you can insulate yourself to become exceptionally powerful is to be someone who knows how to use the tools properly to produce the result at a better level, higher level than what you are currently doing. And you know, I'm pretty good with seeing strategy and seeing over the line, but that's the only thing I could see right now for people. Like, it really doesn't matter if you're a plumber or you're this or you're that or whatever. You need to be comfortable with what it can do and not resist it and say, oh, you know, I'm just to going, because, dude, it's here. Like that's. It's not coming. It's here. They're building humanoid robots that run on AI. Like, and once you dig in AI, like the first time you open up chat GPT and you start asking it, you're gonna get it in 10 seconds. You're gonna be like, holy. Like. Because a lot of people think, oh, it's just like Google. But it's. No, it isn't.
DJ
It.
Nathan Graham
It's. It's highly impressive.
Andy Frisella
That's the other. A lot of people just use it for dumb too. It's like, hey, make me a picture of, you know, my dog. You know, whatever.
Nathan Graham
Right.
Andy Frisella
Like they're not really.
Nathan Graham
Well, it is. That is fun. But like, we should be using it to make ourselves better as at what we do.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, and, and. And I think it's. I think it's something that if people don't get serious about and they think they're gonna ride on their performance without it, bro, it would be like going into battle with a minigun versus going into battle with a slingshot. That's. That's what it's like.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
So if you maintain and you keep saying I'm the best slingshoter there is, it really doesn't matter.
DJ
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
You know, that's real, man.
Andy Frisella
Guys, jump down in this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments.
Nathan Graham
That's insane, bro. What are you guys in on a cargo van?
Andy Frisella
You said a minivan. Let me see it.
Nathan Graham
Holy. That's badass.
Andy Frisella
Oh, bro.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, I would do that. I think that's awesome. Is that no filter? That's what it looked like. Orange like that?
DJ
No, my phone's just kind of tinted. I took like the blue light out.
Nathan Graham
Of it, but dude, that I would 100 do that. Yeah, I'm into that, bro.
DJ
It was wild. It took. Oh, it took so long to get crazy. Get a tornado like that.
Nathan Graham
Do you guys gonna keep doing it?
DJ
We were gonna do it this year. This is actually the time that we chase like right now, this, this week, the last week of May. That's like the most.
Nathan Graham
We've got a bunch up here, bro.
DJ
It's the most active time of the season usually is the last week of May, which our problem is like, there's no way we can level up what we got last year.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
DJ
It's like we were chasing with guys.
Nathan Graham
Once in a lifetime.
DJ
Yeah, we were chasing with guys that have been chasing tornadoes for like 15ish years. And they're like, this is in our top three.
Andy Frisella
That's crazy.
DJ
I was like. I mean, it was just a beautiful, beautiful cone. Like, a lot of times you'll see a tornado, but it'll be wrapped in rain, so you can't even really see it.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, it's just like a big straight up. Yeah, yeah.
DJ
So there's so many, like, conditions. A lot of times, like, we chased another tornado and we were about to see it, it was about to drop down. You could see the funnel coming down. But then the road ended and it was just into. It was hundreds of miles of just forest in the middle of. I think it was in the middle of, like, Colorado somewhere. So we were like, oh, well, there goes, you know. So there's just so many, like, conditions, dude, I.
Nathan Graham
We've had so many close calls with tornadoes. Like, back when I was living over in Sunset Hills, there was one that went right up behind my house, destroyed a bunch of. On limber. You remember that? It was like. It was like Christmas. Yeah, it was like Christmas time. Yeah. And then this last one that ended up hitting the city, and I mean, dude, it smoked the city. I mean, it went right here, bro. Like, right here next to our building. We got a picture of it. It's like right behind the building. It's. Yeah, well, I was up at. Yeah, so. So when that happened, dude, I was up in. On Manchester in West county, and, like, I didn't. All the alarms came off and I didn't realize, like, where it was. And then as we got closer to my house, I started seeing on the road and, like. And I'm like. And then, dude, like, it went right up the road behind her house. It. It tore down the, like, I mean, a ton of houses, dude. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it was weird. Yeah, I do remember that. Well, anyway, so we got to get thumbs up.
Andy Frisella
Yep. All right, guys, that was two into our final segment.
Nathan Graham
Guys, as always, we're skipping ahead.
Andy Frisella
Yep. Just skip it.
Nathan Graham
All right.
Andy Frisella
Damn.
Nathan Graham
Doing what we want today, huh?
Andy Frisella
I mean. Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Yeah.
Andy Frisella
Yep.
Nathan Graham
Or did you. Did you only get two?
Andy Frisella
Oh, no, I got three. But just time, you know.
Nathan Graham
All right.
Andy Frisella
It happens. Let's get to our final segment of the show, guys. We got thumbs up or dumb as this, where we bring a headline in, we talk about it, it'll get one of those two Options and gotta go to Florida. There's always some good stuff going down. In Florida, a cat tried to escape a transgender surgery.
Nathan Graham
What?
Andy Frisella
Yep.
DJ
Is that AI?
Andy Frisella
No, it's real cat. Cat escapes Florida vet takes nearly three mile journey home. So a cat, still with anesthesia in his system following surgery, escaped from a vet in Florida and made the nearly three mile trek home to his favorite chair. Bob B. Sock said his cat George was at the SPCA Florida in Lakeland to get neutered. And right after the surgery, the feline managed to break out of the cage, climb a fence, and flee into the wilderness, all while still. Still feeling the effects of anesthes seizure. Let's check this clip out.
DJ
If Disney ever makes another sequel to Homeward Bound, we've got a nominee for the role of Sassy the cat. George lives with a family in Lakeland.
Nathan Graham
And after a recent trip to the vet for a little surgery, he decided.
DJ
To check himself out of the animal hospital early.
Nathan Graham
As Fox 13's Evan Moon tells us, George was homeward bound, even though home.
DJ
Was three miles away. Where's George?
Nathan Graham
This courageous cat has a tale to tell.
DJ
He was able to pop that cage.
Nathan Graham
Open and he sprung out of there.
DJ
And he was gone in seconds.
Nathan Graham
George the cat went to SPCA Florida to get neutered, but turned into a feline fugitive on an impossible mission. Escaping from staff and into the record books of backyard legends, George was able.
DJ
To bust out of the trap, and he literally scaled some dog fencing and went into the woods. And our staff were literally hoisting each other up over the fences to try to chase George, to capture him. The SPCA employees ran off into the woods to find him, and they're not gonna chase down a cat. That's, you know, that's not gonna happen.
Nathan Graham
And George, even for a cat, wasn't thinking clearly.
DJ
So he still had silly drugs in his system.
Nathan Graham
But miraculously, days later, George made it miles back home to his parents. His owner describes his journey.
DJ
If I had got stuck at the spca, I would have called an Uber, all right?
Nathan Graham
But George didn't have that option.
DJ
But coming back from there, he has to go through two or three subdivisions.
Nathan Graham
He has to go around the lake.
DJ
Another lake that's between us and the SPCA and probably five or six roads.
Nathan Graham
A cat behavioralist explained their incredible internal navigation.
DJ
So evolutionarily to be able to naturally.
Nathan Graham
Find that way back. And we think that it's due to.
Andy Frisella
Wait, hold on. That. How is that even a fucking career path? You are. He's a certified Cat behavioral specialist.
Nathan Graham
How do you get into that, bro? I got a lot of things to say. Let's finish the video. So evolutionarily, they've evolved to be able.
DJ
To naturally find that way back, and.
Nathan Graham
We think that it's due to a combination of transgender and possibly. And the truth is, they love their humans. Contrary to popular belief, cats are very attached to us, so they will want.
DJ
To find their way back home eventually.
Nathan Graham
And it's certain George's human loves him, too.
Andy Frisella
So I was distraught.
DJ
I mean, I was.
Andy Frisella
And heartbroken.
DJ
He needed a human touch, you know, and that's what he got.
Nathan Graham
Evan Moon, Fox 13 News.
Andy Frisella
Wow.
DJ
Now, there's a great backstory here, too. Evan and her facade.
Nathan Graham
All right, I. Go ahead.
DJ
I don't.
Nathan Graham
You know, I think, you know, they.
DJ
Just wanted to keep.
Nathan Graham
It just stops it. You know.
DJ
I'd do the same thing if I was a cat. I want to keep my nuts.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, bro. And not only that. Like, this seems made up. Does this say I. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, why are these people so chipper? And where did they get their jokes from? Dj, not from.
Andy Frisella
Maybe they do. Watch this.
Nathan Graham
Because I'm just saying, there was a plethora.
DJ
If I was a cat, I would.
Nathan Graham
Have called an uber terrible jokes. Yes.
DJ
What was that?
Nathan Graham
We gave him some silly drugs.
Andy Frisella
Why everybody? Like, if. Why? I want to know. And I know I'm not the only person thinking this. Why everybody in that video looked exactly how I felt they should have looked.
Nathan Graham
Dude, no.
Andy Frisella
Right?
Nathan Graham
The lady. That's what I'm saying. It's got to be made up, bro.
Andy Frisella
No, it's real.
Nathan Graham
That late? No. How do you know?
Andy Frisella
I mean, it's. It's on the Internet.
Nathan Graham
Okay, well, that doesn't qualify it as real. First of all, I agree with you, though. The lady. The lady looked exactly like the vet lady. That's, like a little bit off, right? And this does not go to my vet. I love my vet. They are good people. But she looks like she sounds. And he was still on the silly. He was still feeling the silly drugs. He. He. Little George, the troublemaker. You know what I'm saying? Then this guy, the owner. Oh, God.
Andy Frisella
Looks just like a cat guy.
Nathan Graham
Owner.
Andy Frisella
And this guy looks like a cat consultant.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, Certified.
Andy Frisella
Certified.
Nathan Graham
Dude, this has to be made up. This is. This is. You're the YouTube expert, bro.
Andy Frisella
Is this just content? Is this a good content creation? I mean.
DJ
I mean, sometimes the news needs content.
Andy Frisella
Yeah.
Nathan Graham
Says make it up.
DJ
Sometimes they're a little dry. Yeah, you know, they got to cover something.
Andy Frisella
Fuck, man.
Nathan Graham
Yeah, man. I don't know what to say. I don't believe that. I mean, is that really true about the cats?
Andy Frisella
Is real?
Nathan Graham
No, I mean, like, they go, how the fuck would you find. How does a cat go into a car, go to somewhere far away and then get out and then know its way back?
DJ
They got geomagnetism. Is that what they said?
Nathan Graham
Is that what he said?
Andy Frisella
What the cat experts said?
Nathan Graham
What did he say? Go back to what he said. I was laughing at him. I couldn't fucking listen to what he said.
DJ
But that is kind of true, though, because I had a cat growing up and, well, he would go, like, across my entire neighborhood. And maybe he knew his way back because of the way he came, but he would disappear for five, six hours and then just show back up and, you know, I don't know.
Nathan Graham
I mean, there's been more crazy than. I mean. Yeah, you know, I've heard. Dude, I heard a story a long time ago about, like, a cat and a dog. A couple dogs, and they went, like, way far away and then they found their way home.
Andy Frisella
