00:02:25.680 I'm 40 years old.
00:02:26.660 Do you think Fantasy Factory was as big as it was because of Chanel's laugh?

00:04:41.320 yeah right 1.00
00:04:42.240 yeah right
00:04:42.880 guys our guest today
00:04:46.040 is a television icon
00:04:47.340 who started his career as a pro skateboarder he has since become a successful entrepreneur
00:04:50.900 investing in and mentoring young business minds his podcast build with rob is out everywhere now
00:04:56.280 here to tell us about his journey and why ridiculous is the only thing that mtv plays
00:05:00.180 it is rob dyrdek let's go from one ohio guy to another ah that is ohio who's not from ohio
00:05:14.640 at this point yeah everybody that comes on the show yeah who else recently it's a lot of
00:05:20.280 youtubers is it why do you think so many youtubers hail from ohio is there just nothing to do there
00:05:25.560 except yeah but it's but look we were searching for a way out like as you're as you're being as
00:05:31.060 you're like like going through high school and going through junior high you're like man what's
00:05:35.040 going to be my pathway out of here and then you're telling everybody all the things that you're gonna
00:05:39.480 do and everyone's like not possible it ain't gonna happen and then as you start to like
00:05:43.880 incrementally create something then it's like still gonna have to get a job like the rest of us
00:05:48.040 and then all of a sudden it's like wow look at what happened that's cool how how is everything
00:05:52.620 how is everybody in california it's funny how that works huh yeah it's it's it's fascinating
00:05:57.920 but even even when i got like my first signature shoe and started making like hundreds of thousands
00:06:03.560 i remember my uncle at christmas like oh like you know me showing my signature shoe enjoy well last
00:06:09.520 Yeah, it's like, I was going to have to get a job like the rest of us, you know.
00:06:14.220 It's funny, because my friends, by the way, still didn't believe in me.
00:06:18.840 Well, I was making really shitty vines.
00:06:20.240 That's probably why.
00:06:21.220 Yeah.
00:06:21.540 But I tried.
00:06:22.500 Look, hey, no, they just didn't think your content was good.
00:06:25.300 So they're like, where's this going?
00:06:26.980 Where's this going?
00:06:27.540 They were right at the time.
00:06:28.880 But yeah, it was funny.
00:06:30.240 Growing up in Ohio, it's like I always wanted a little something more.
00:06:34.980 And that's why I say you're a childhood hero of mine, because just to dive in a little bit,
00:06:39.520 yeah man we we everyone and for my generation watched you all growing up and then what you've
00:06:46.560 done inspired a lot of the stuff that we do now like fantasy factory alone i think it was the
00:06:52.680 impetus for so many like content houses that was like the original content house my brother modeled
00:06:57.740 the team 10 house after the fantasy factory we bought a warehouse because we saw the fantasy
00:07:02.380 no look he met with me like lewis house introduced me and it was like i'm gonna be a billionaire
00:07:07.260 like he's like i'm gonna be a billionaire and like i'm gonna do like this and like even when
00:07:12.320 when he bought the house like you gotta come down here i was like bro i'm not telling you where i'm
00:07:15.720 not going i'm not going to the team 10 house you know i'm saying i'm 40 40 years old okay i don't
00:07:22.820 know what you guys are doing down there but but it was like you know you got to think even fantasy
00:07:27.740 factory was like a wild concept to even try to push through to television you know what i mean
00:07:33.680 and and and and i didn't there was no content wasn't a thing it was like it was like we were
00:07:39.800 the first comedy reality television with with uh robin big and then it was like okay how do i take
00:07:45.560 this to another level but use the platform to like monetize it right and that that's where like i was
00:07:52.940 able to do all the brand deals and build all the shows around the companies that i own and now
00:07:57.380 really use mtv's platform at that point was like before like social media had really got cooking
00:08:04.100 and youtube or anything so i was able to monetize the cut my own content through their platform
00:08:10.180 expert level leveraging you are so good at it and it's funny because a lot of people not a lot but
00:08:19.220 there's a handful of people who have been in your position given a platform and visibility and then
00:08:24.700 they just can't amplify or activate in a way they should to build brands other than just the thing
00:08:31.180 yeah right and you've done such a good job of that and and your ability to innovate and pivot
00:08:35.460 you know starting from robin big fantasy factory ridiculousness and then the brands and other
00:08:40.680 podcasts is just like i come i said this yesterday on yesterday's episode i commend anyone who is
00:08:45.780 able to stay relevant popping and up to date not out of touch and in the know for that decades but
00:08:52.280 But think about it, too. I'm not trying to stay in the know or stay relevant. I just keep creating. And I'm creating behind a business plan based off of the way of life that I want to live. Ultimately, it's like you chase a certain sort of lifestyle and you want that to be sustainable.
00:09:11.720 And part of what fuels me is continually evolving and creating something new.
00:09:16.920 And then occasionally you get caught in some weird matrix where you end up doing some random show about clips because you like you read an article with Vinny DeBona and his $500 million syndication business.
00:09:28.800 And the next thing you know, you do like 2000 episodes when you thought you do it for like, you know, you know, 50 or 60 episodes and get off MTV by 40.
00:09:37.340 When I was 38 years old, I'm like, I cannot be on MTV when I'm 40.
00:09:42.740 This is crazy.
00:09:43.520 I'm the new Kurt Loder.
00:09:44.620 That's me right now on YouTube.
00:09:46.000 Look, no.
00:09:46.640 I got to get off YouTube, man.
00:09:48.840 And you're almost 40.
00:09:50.220 Hey, look, but then I changed the perspective when it was like, okay, how do you use MTV
00:09:56.580 as a platform to create your next chapter, which is your business?
00:10:01.280 And by using the show to build and sell the production company, that was like the first
00:10:06.580 company i built and sold through my deer dick machine process and then it gave what television
00:10:12.600 meant to me a new perspective it was like oh no you can combine both worlds and now we're talking
00:10:18.020 10 years later you know i'm saying i'm 48 and i just signed a five-year deal like to go what are
00:10:25.440 you talking about to go five more years no way let's go and it's like what are you talking about
00:10:30.300 and let me tell you this i used to shoot 60 a year then i shot then i did since i you know i
00:10:35.980 ended up understanding the economics of the show and keep in mind i don't use agents or lawyers i
00:10:40.880 talk directly with the dude that makes the decision at viacom so we negotiate on the economics of the
00:10:46.480 show and which led to me reducing the cost of the show and then him picking up 168 episodes at a
00:10:53.040 time instead of 30 at a time then they started airing more then it started being watched more
00:10:58.940 then they wanted more then we went to shooting 252 a year and now i'm moving to shooting 336
00:11:06.960 a year what zoom in on my phone right here look at it it is the most insane thing this is mtv's
00:11:12.720 play schedule the orange is ridiculousness that is that is it's it's got a clearly an example of
00:11:18.640 supply and demand though right like clearly people are hungry for this content every gas station i
00:11:23.640 stop at every pub that i go to every water park bathroom that i go into there is one program 0.98
00:11:30.040 playing and it is ridiculousness always what the fuck is it yeah about that show that people 0.97
00:11:37.560 i'm gonna can i guess do you mind if i guess what it is because you know in your spirit i believe 0.99
00:11:43.280 that we have moved to a culture of clip consumption fast acting quick hitting short attention span
00:11:51.980 clips your show was tiktok before tiktok an algorithm of clips that garnered people's
00:11:59.300 attention for short periods of time with a little bit of conversation and a little bit of
00:12:03.880 questioning and laughing about it and then on to the next one you were this before that existed
00:12:09.600 is that right and you're lovable yay do you do you work do you work for the government
00:12:14.080 but check it out though think about it like you're you're you're right but think about it one step
00:12:20.420 wider where that is the way that everybody consumes content in their regular lives or they binge
00:12:27.540 high-end programming and netflix and the streamers it found this sweet spot right in the middle
00:12:33.940 where you didn't want to scroll you scrolled through your your your your instagram your
00:12:37.940 social as much as you could you've watched everything on on those streamers can i just
00:12:42.400 sit and do something that takes no effort or energy to laugh at for hours at a time like it's
00:12:47.780 the in between that's what happened entire cable flattened out and like people no longer watch
00:12:53.880 cable they want cure their own curation of the content that they watch and this is this easy
00:12:59.080 thing that if you're six or 60 you can watch right and that's what allowed it to take this
00:13:05.640 almost like second like wave you know 10 years in because the way people consume content
00:13:12.520 completely changed in where they did and this is basically this super easy to do seamless way of
00:13:19.520 watching linear cable you know what else is funny about it too you guys uh because of the
00:13:24.800 personalities on the show provide not only the content that would be consumed on a tiktok or
00:13:29.760 twitter feed but also the comments that would sit below them you guys are the comments you chanel
00:13:35.700 he's he you are the original reaction channel yeah like that is absurd to me like reaction
00:13:41.800 channels on youtube i don't know if you know this now but they're huge they're huge and and you and
00:13:47.220 a few other people around that time were like the original like hey this format works and this is
00:13:51.760 interesting too did you do you own the ip of ridiculousness no no okay but why not i'm curious
00:13:58.940 i'll tell you so so you know originally man like when i when i when i read the vinnie de bona
00:14:03.760 article it was like okay we got to get this to to syndication and get into the syndication
00:14:09.400 business right so then we pitch it to all the networks first nobody would have it and and
00:14:14.700 ultimately uh when you do a show with mtv you end up now um like they own the ip you're just talent
00:14:23.900 so so this is with all all cable right so there's no wiggle room there's there's no wiggle room
00:14:29.880 but if you're creative you can figure out ways to further maximize it right so really what i did was
00:14:36.380 then i ultimately built a business around producing it right so then now and keep in mind i built and
00:14:42.460 sold that business for 190 million right so it's like that is the scale of what i built inside that
00:14:49.300 uh and then the the you you basically capture the margin by editing it by finishing it by the music
00:14:57.260 then we built our own clip library to where like then we have all the licensed clips that are that
00:15:03.060 we monetize in their own show so you built all of these uh different sort of revenue streams in it
00:15:09.620 and then continued to grow the talent side you know but at the end of the day like unless like
00:15:18.060 mtv wants to take that ip and monetize it beyond their own channels which they never it's never
00:15:24.040 gonna sell yeah not really so it's not like there was some crazy amount of money because they would
00:15:29.800 have never put it on television if i would have owned the eyepiece so at the end of the day i
00:15:35.880 believe i maxed the amount of money and effort because keep in mind you know shooting 252 episodes
00:15:42.500 of television a year is only four percent of my time right like it's it's a very limited amount
00:15:49.060 of time and energy it's an hour and a half of prep the night before and then five hours to shoot the
00:15:54.880 five or the six shows each day because it's automated you censor with the network a lot
00:15:59.540 of the production is automated the the pre-planning all that stuff but if you had owned the ip you
00:16:04.460 would be responsible for all of that no no you got to keep in mind i automated it all how they
00:16:09.360 deliver me shows how the writers i grade every show zero to ten to weed out weak writers and
00:16:14.600 to make shows better because the better the shows are the quicker they are to prep the easier they
00:16:19.300 are to shoot right i track the time of every shoot to like to try to manage keeping the shoot
00:16:24.660 time between like 27 and 32 minutes to keep my days down to five hours so that it ends up being
00:16:31.580 this effortless high past high fat high paced high output for me but a little bit of energy
00:16:38.380 and time right and then I wear the same outfit so I'm like stuck in time you know what I'm saying
00:16:44.240 it could be Rob from Robin Big or it could be the 50 year old we don't know it's the same outfit 0.56
00:16:50.260 I'm not building a brand with ridiculousness
00:16:53.120 I'm like trapped in a box
00:16:54.780 That's always going to look the same
00:16:57.060 It's infinite Rob

00:18:23.040 Expedia. Made to travel.
00:18:24.940 I was on an episode. Thanks for having me on, by the way. Awesome.
00:18:28.920 And I hear you about the prep, because they sent me the clips,
00:18:32.080 and I was able to watch them and come up with some jokes myself with the little help of the writers.
00:18:37.640 Really? You guys went and talked through jokes? That's how it works?
00:18:41.240 Well, how do you prep when you prep for the show?
00:18:43.600 I just watch it and move it all around.
00:18:46.040 You're not storing stuff in the back of your ear?
00:18:48.540 I mean, I kind of store it, but I freestyle it straight through.
00:18:51.140 I didn't know that they actually showed that.
00:18:52.220 You just got somebody fired.
00:18:54.660 These guys are sitting with you in a room like, okay,
00:18:57.100 when Rob will probably say, like, wah, wah, wah,
00:19:00.340 and then you hit him with a...
00:19:01.740 That's funny because now that I think about it,
00:19:03.380 you were hitting some zingers.
00:19:04.540 I'm like, man, this guy's got some zingers.
00:19:06.380 You discredited it the whole time.
00:19:08.060 Yo, everything just clicked with him.
00:19:09.920 he goes dude what no it makes sense this guy's pretty funny but but you must love it because
00:19:15.660 again i use the word format and we all know the power of a really good format right like like
00:19:23.000 jeopardy deal or no deal every game show you've ever seen impulsive format format format yeah but
00:19:28.640 you've created you've created a format but why you don't have to be up there do you you could get
00:19:34.360 pretty much any comedian to to do it or is it something that you love or do you feel that
00:19:38.900 ridiculous is simply not the same with rob dyrdek on that stage no i mean obviously you know because
00:19:43.540 we did the other pilots and the other shows you know you remember that yeah yeah i remember like 0.96
00:19:48.460 man i remember this guy fucking sweated his way out yes i needed a reset yeah i always thought 0.81
00:19:59.520 that was fascinating like oh man what an interesting thing to have to deal with you 0.94
00:20:02.440 know what i'm saying like yeah you just get happened this first episode of this show as well
00:20:06.320 I think it was the drug use
00:20:09.560 Explain what you're talking about
00:20:10.680 So we were piloted by MTV
00:20:14.420 To try to create a spinoff
00:20:16.500 What do you mean we?
00:20:17.560 Okay
00:20:17.860 Jake Paul as Rob Dyrdek
00:20:21.020 To bring it full circle
00:20:22.720 Jake Paul as Rob Dyrdek 1.00
00:20:25.120 Tana Mongeau as fucking Chanel 1.00
00:20:28.680 And then me 0.99
00:20:29.960 And then it was like a rotating
00:20:31.380 We were trying out a bunch of different people
00:20:34.480 It was called bustedness
00:20:35.660 And it was called Bustedness, and, you know, Jake did a great job.
00:20:39.860 They had me in all this, like, culturally relevant clothing. 0.97
00:20:43.160 I was wearing, like, Volcom and, like, shit that I haven't. 0.91
00:20:46.120 I was like, dude, I felt great, but I was so hot, dude. 0.95
00:20:49.420 And there were so many people in the audience, and I swear to God,
00:20:52.340 they were all looking at just me, bro.
00:20:54.140 Or at least it felt that way.
00:20:55.480 Oh, that was pre-pandemic.
00:20:57.260 That's right.
00:20:57.620 Yeah, but then, you know, we shot a couple decent episodes,
00:21:01.880 but I think they were just like, yo, this chemistry is whack.
00:21:04.020 Like, it has to be rough.
00:21:04.980 is that why they canned it by the way it did not get picked up they you know i think i think what
00:21:08.900 it is is and this is what i tried to like push on them as they were making these you know was like
00:21:14.040 what makes the show work to to your comment culture you know like it's like it feels like
00:21:20.820 three friends just like talking about what they're seeing and what happens is a lot of times
00:21:26.240 like you feel the pressure to try to be on right so instead of it being natural and flowing and
00:21:32.020 really being more like like observing and talking funny but you end up trying to like hit zingers
00:21:38.820 and make moments and i just think like that's where a lot of them because they shot a lot
00:21:43.660 and a lot of them didn't make it some of them did you know like different depending on what the cast
00:21:48.260 was but obviously none of them quite perform at the same level but they still work so they just
00:21:54.780 keep trying all different types of them because they go to they go to viewing right like they
00:21:59.500 probably get like beta tests or something they put them on the air they put yours oh that's right
00:22:03.100 what the fuck am i talking about anyways they probably get like some sort of qc or somebody
00:22:06.420 has feedback on nielsen i don't know exactly how it gets done right but to your point if you had 0.97
00:22:11.740 put me george and logan as the hundred percent game over but also but they wouldn't do that
00:22:18.300 because they would also be like well we gotta have the group we gotta have this you know what i mean
00:22:22.100 this prime bottle is going to space and one of you are going to space with it that is right i've
00:22:26.540 teamed up with Whatnot, a live auction platform that I actually invested in to get a Blue Origin
00:22:31.600 ticket and send one of you to space with the signed Prime Bottle by me and KSI. All you have
00:22:36.360 to do is download Whatnot and enter the competition before 11, 28, or this trip of a lifetime. Trust
00:22:42.280 me, you're going to have fun and you're going to go to space. Download Whatnot, enter the competition,
00:22:45.700 and we'll see you guys in the sky. Again, you know, when I think about what the show means to me
00:22:53.800 as it relates to you know and why do i continue to do it it's like because i make a significant
00:22:59.560 amount of money for a very little bit of effort and to the to the point it's it's like a weird
00:23:05.500 like improv art form for me you know what i mean like i just go and like freestyle like i'm like
00:23:11.720 it for 30 minutes and it's like oh you just did a flawless show where you just made everything up
00:23:15.800 you know what i mean it's like it's really just sort of this fun fast-paced experience but make
00:23:21.720 no mistake make no mistake it is only for the money you know what i'm saying i mean there ain't
00:23:27.800 even man there is no like that's why george says he comes here every day you know that's it 0.94
00:23:33.460 hey you think i'm actually friends with these schmucks hey hey then invest well 0.93
00:23:38.840 enjoy it well last brother i'm dying to ask man because i'm sitting here and i'm just blown away 0.95
00:23:45.500 by your mindset dude like uh logan always whispers in my ear steal like an artist as he's scrolling 0.54
00:23:50.540 and trying to identity theft all the new creators coming into existence and then mike sucking onto 1.00
00:23:56.240 whatever logan's doing so my question to you is whose nipple were you trying to suck off of while 0.99
00:24:02.400 you were like growing like who are you looking up to being like this is a great uh uh structure i'm 0.99
00:24:07.840 gonna take it and go this direction who was your like uh hero god you know it's like i don't know
00:24:13.000 i don't know like like who i could point to that's ever done done it the way that i've done it right
00:24:18.140 it's almost like because you know and again not not from a flex as much as i mean i guess you could
00:24:24.460 say bob saget yeah bob saget you know what i'm saying like the only one you know what i mean like
00:24:29.420 and think about that but but even even for that make no mistake about that even though i got
00:24:33.560 hammered for like it because the show came out after tasha's show came out even though we shot
00:24:38.340 it before but i read an article with vinnie de bona and the 500 and 500 million dollar syndication
00:24:46.100 business and and then was like i'm going to make the faster cooler version of this for mtv so it
00:24:53.360 was definitely like that as it relates to you know looking at a market looking at a sleepy market
00:24:59.180 how can you reinvent the space and capitalize on something that had the same amount of success
00:25:04.680 you know and i i recently was in a america's funniest home uh home videos documentary and
00:25:11.700 they asked me if I could it was me talking about getting the idea from Vin DeBona and they were
00:25:16.840 like hey will you sign off on this clip for this 30 years of America's Funniest Home Videos and I'm
00:25:21.140 like only if I can come meet Vin and get a photo and so it's like I went to meet Vin and Vin is
00:25:27.740 you know like 75 slicked back gray hair dressed to the nines you walk into his America's Funniest
00:25:34.060 Home Videos office it's like a time capsule it was like 80s success carried straight through into
00:25:39.440 like 2019 you know and and like when i explained to him how many shows i was shooting and what it
00:25:46.500 was he's like what no way you know because they shoot like 30 a year whatever it is you know what
00:25:51.020 i mean and and again you know he was pissed you know but he was he's like man we tried all these 0.90
00:25:56.880 cable ones that never worked like why did this one picture get the fuck out of my office and boy i'll 0.69
00:26:01.700 keep that thing forever it's precious but to the point of like what you're modeling after i always 0.51
00:26:07.920 looked at everything through the business lens. So I was always looking at like, how do I maximize
00:26:13.000 this opportunity, whether it was the fantasy factory platform, even, even during Robin Big
00:26:18.220 days, you have to understand that I saw what BAM was doing in board sales and shoes sales,
00:26:23.100 I renegotiated all my royalty deals for my shoes and for my boards before I got on before Robin
00:26:30.080 Big happened. And then you got to think I was getting paid $6,000 a month as a Red Bull athlete
00:26:36.740 in the first season of Robin Big and I got 1.2 million a year from Monster the following season
00:26:44.540 to put a Monster fridge in Robin Big. And then I'm like, okay, how do I, how do I further this
00:26:51.460 even further and maximize this? And that's what led to creating, creating Fantasy Factory as the
00:26:57.740 concept around the, having the brands that I could now do brand deals. Cause you gotta think
00:27:02.280 i did chevy deals microsoft deals carl's jr deals i just did all these mega deals and integrated it
00:27:08.300 into that show so i was making millions then in the future then i was like making millions off of
00:27:14.180 all my product and board sales and all of that stuff like by seeing it through a business lens
00:27:20.380 ahead of time and how could i maximize it and i just think that i continue to look at everything
00:27:26.880 I do through this lens of what are all the ways that you can create value and now in this day and
00:27:33.880 age now it's like building and selling companies how do I how do I build and and create big
00:27:39.120 liquidity events is is really where that that passion has evolved from as I look through things
00:27:45.860 from a businessman what I'm doing with sort of my content on the business side and where I'm
00:27:50.680 taking it long term you know yeah I just want to ask one last thing on the business side because
00:27:56.220 i'm sure we'll pivot because i want to talk about skateboarding a little bit too but um how did it
00:28:01.620 work because now as you can tell platforms that are owned by or not platforms but channels that
00:28:07.460 are owned by creators obviously used to propel businesses right like prime now prime up you can
00:28:13.780 use that as a clip thank you but like but like that has become we we have uh as internet creators
00:28:23.120 have gone through a very similar evolution
00:28:24.700 where it went from merch, then big brand deals,
00:28:28.080 now IP building and exits, right?
00:28:30.040 You're seeing this,
00:28:30.980 the kind of a very similar evolution
00:28:33.000 that we saw on the platforms of earlier today.
00:28:36.780 My question to you is,
00:28:38.100 how does MTV treat a talent who does not own IP,
00:28:42.940 does not own network, does not own platform
00:28:44.880 in your ability to promote own products
00:28:47.360 that they do not own a piece of that intellectual property?
00:28:50.360 It doesn't happen anymore.
00:28:51.840 It's over.
00:28:52.180 i was the last one to do it with fantasy factory they want they want a piece of well they would
00:28:56.600 yeah they want a piece or it just would never happen it would become a nightmare you know i
00:29:00.380 transitioned a little bit the first season of ridiculousness i did a deal with microsoft
00:29:04.240 and and bing their their search search engine and at the end of the episode we would search a thing
00:29:10.460 and a video would come up and play it so i was that was the only time but it became so complicated
00:29:14.920 in that format rather than creating content around the brand idea but again look the the
00:29:20.740 there's a lot of want hoping and wishing that like you'll take sweat equity and have a partnership
00:29:28.340 and put all this energy and time and effort into prime of like we're going to get the billion
00:29:32.560 dollar exit and it's like what that actually takes and the odds of that actually occurring
00:29:37.820 the complexities of of of you know ready to drink distribution and like ultimately sell through
00:29:44.420 like your media and platform can drive it into the stores but you literally have like
00:29:49.000 you know a few months to to hit a percentage of sell-through in order to even have it in there
00:29:54.080 there's so many different beauty brands and all these different things so many people that have
00:29:58.760 tried different things but it's it still takes sort of that art science and magic and timing of
00:30:04.320 things to happen for like there to actually be that event in my what i'm trying to master is
00:30:10.380 eliminating all of the x factors and and getting more consistent of building things that have a
00:30:17.800 better chance of being acquired and then investing deep in the stages in the capital along the way
00:30:24.300 so when it does get acquired i get a significant amount of liquidity so that i'm really looking at
00:30:30.400 like everything like how can i how can i sell you know something for you know 200 million instead of
00:30:37.740 500 million and own 70 percent of it right because the the in the in that game you know there's you
00:30:45.180 know a thousand people that'll buy a company for a hundred million there's like you know 700 that'll
00:30:51.080 buy it for 200 million and then like 250 and beyond there's like five yeah you know what i
00:30:56.660 mean so it's like either pepsi's buying it or like you know a private equity maybe but it's only if
00:31:02.200 like it's like this you know what i mean so are you doing are you doing that through another
00:31:06.920 business question damn it are you doing that through more efficient funding on the front side
00:31:11.400 and then maximizing certain verticals and channels 0.97
00:31:14.660 of marketing distribution.
00:31:16.460 Have you basically, in your mind,
00:31:18.120 created a secret sauce of how to,
00:31:20.820 as you said, eliminate those X factors?
00:31:22.860 Yeah, yes.
00:31:23.760 But it starts with the idea, the market,
00:31:27.620 the white space.
00:31:29.400 Like, is it innovative enough to take market share,
00:31:32.840 but not too innovative that this consumer
00:31:35.200 won't figure it out in time?
00:31:37.600 And then it boils down to who's operating the business.
00:31:40.460 I'm not going to operate the business. So the curation of the individual or the operators, their their skill set is ultimately because you have to think I co-find everything and fund it through all the early stages so that I already have the common co-founder stock.
00:31:56.100 Then I now have all the preferred stock in the beginning so that I gobble up the most equity that you can get at the very beginning of a venture and then hope to get it to the next level of getting those bigger rounds that creates more net worth and value in me that's worth nothing until it becomes liquid.
00:32:14.880 You know what I mean?
00:32:15.640 I think life is a lot about winning more than you lose.
00:32:21.540 Winning is great.
00:32:22.640 I do think losing in some ways is great, too.
00:32:25.300 you can learn a lot
00:32:26.320 and I've imagined
00:32:27.320 you've had a lot of ups
00:32:28.680 what say it again
00:32:29.740 something about boxing
00:32:30.760 came to my attention
00:32:31.620 oh man
00:32:32.840 I'm just saying
00:32:34.340 it's part of your legacy bro
00:32:35.340 like it's not like
00:32:36.100 listen to me
00:32:36.460 listen to me
00:32:36.960 before
00:32:37.360 I'm not even gonna let him
00:32:38.380 address that
00:32:38.800 this man
00:32:40.240 last time I saw him
00:32:41.520 he was like
00:32:42.300 maybe
00:32:43.300 maybe this Floyd thing
00:32:44.440 might happen
00:32:44.920 this man fought Floyd
00:32:45.760 oh that was right
00:32:47.500 yeah it was right before
00:32:48.180 then he's like
00:32:48.760 now it's like
00:32:49.300 like I want you to know
00:32:50.680 I wrestled
00:32:51.020 but now he's fighting
00:32:51.560 dead himself
00:32:52.220 listen to me
00:32:52.680 I wrestled
00:32:54.580 at Wrestlemania okay with Rowdy Roddy Piper you did and I flew off of a skateboard as my finishing
00:33:01.840 move over the ring and Dan slammed the guy down and went only I wasn't big enough to make it to
00:33:07.160 the main stage I was in like the fan stage in the back you know what I'm saying like so I never got
00:33:12.860 to feel the glory of the 90,000 people you know what I'm saying like I was in like the small like
00:33:17.540 there was like no there was like 150 people like oh is that Rowdy Roddy Piper is that Rob Dyrdek
00:33:22.320 no it's kid lightning you know what i mean no it's kid lightning you know what i'm saying
00:33:26.440 was my wrestling name was that the first time you jumped out of the box that you put yourself in
00:33:30.800 for what ridiculousness yeah oh well yeah no no that was p that was pre pre pre inside the box
00:33:37.160 yeah we thought it was during fantasy factory you know what year i feel almost like this has
00:33:41.620 been such a long span that we almost need to like describe a year that this was all happening in
00:33:46.780 can we go back even one more i do want to ask because i'm curious uh again winning more than
00:33:53.960 you lose if you're doing that you're winning in life have you found that you are learning and
00:33:58.340 your hit rate has increased with what you're doing with your money and your energy over the years
00:34:03.060 yeah but look i have it's a it's i'm going to take you deep because it's like like my personal
00:34:09.980 mastery is like controlling my evolution and guiding my evolution on all aspects of my life
00:34:15.380 And that's health, wealth, you know, life, work.
00:34:18.740 It's mastering time, energy and clarity.
00:34:20.720 Right. So I'm continually optimizing and maximizing my time, grading my energy of how my time feels when I'm there.
00:34:28.140 And then continually like predicting the future off of getting better and better at designing goals and paths forward.
00:34:35.620 That's all expanding me into the ideal version of myself.
00:34:39.760 I continually perpetually evolve into this limitless potential.
00:34:44.920 So year over year over year, I just keep getting better and better in all aspects of life.
00:34:50.180 And you still feel that way?
00:34:51.800 Oh, it's like now I can see 15 years out and how much better.
00:34:55.700 At 48, I know like how I'm going to be in peak shape and the best shape and health of my life at like 55.
00:35:02.800 And that's when I'm going to ease back from doing content and pushing as hard to build and savor more and travel more, spend more time with my kids.
00:35:12.620 Even though you got to think I still shoot all these episodes, all these businesses, all of it is still about 20 percent of my time because I'll still, you know, I still, you know, to give you context, if you spend an hour a day, that's about four percent of your time.
00:35:26.240 Right. And so for me, you know, I still spend, you know, two, three hours every day to take my kids to school, you know, still be with my kids, spend all the time with my wife.
00:35:37.180 It's still about how do you live a really happy, harmonious, beautiful existence while continuing to fulfill your desire to create and build businesses and wealth and all these things.
00:35:50.080 And over time, you feel that continually contributing to the betterment of yourself.
00:35:57.300 Right, because you're getting better and better and better at living.
00:36:00.940 you understand like so you're just you're mastering yourself you're disciplined you're
00:36:05.820 more consistent you're healthier right and then how do I know that well I grade how I feel about
00:36:11.560 my life every single day and then have the data for years right like I track all of did I get up
00:36:16.840 at five did I brain train did I meditate did I get in the gym you will rate your day yeah I rate my
00:36:21.720 day rate how I feel about my life work and health zero to ten so I could show you how much more
00:36:26.780 disciplined I am how much healthier I am how much like happier I am in qualitative numbers that I've
00:36:33.200 collected that is so interesting but then I could show you how I used my time for the last like
00:36:39.580 three four years so analytical then I could show you how I've grown my wealth right like in and how
00:36:45.980 I've grown all the companies where it's just this entire life if you will was designed and then
00:36:53.400 lived with purpose and intent which gives you what this incredible feeling of fulfillment and
00:36:58.900 like happiness and gratitude of like look at this amazing life that i created a vision for and grew
00:37:04.920 into continually and you can do it too and you can do it too go to robdurdick.com and download the
00:37:12.640 app do you do mentorship do you like i'm not i'm not gonna do i'm not gonna do mentorship but it's
00:37:21.200 a philosophy that i believe that i can teach to other people and really like i'm gonna build a
00:37:27.180 software that anybody can can build their own version of it and build this sort of harmony in
00:37:32.940 life and and basically find balance in their health wealth life and can i ask a question yeah
00:37:38.840 i got one right after okay okay okay this because this this started me on an interesting train of
00:37:43.260 thought i too am super analytical i love data we love data we know the importance and significance
00:37:49.460 of data you can you could do so much with with the data but i am afraid to rate my own life
00:37:56.580 like you are doing and i've seen this on your um instagram before you talked about how you're
00:38:01.380 going to rate the day and see how you can improve but truthfully and this is funny because i'm not
00:38:05.180 afraid to fail or fall short per se but i'm afraid to give a rating to my day because i don't want
00:38:11.160 to see the the days that are fours yeah on paper i don't want to see those are the most important
00:38:15.180 I know, but I think the challenge of having to beat the day I just did is too stressful for me to think about.
00:38:22.600 But that's not what you're doing.
00:38:23.860 You're living life.
00:38:25.400 And then when you're down, I call it qualitative awareness.
00:38:28.440 Because when you just ask yourself how I feel about it, I'm rated zero to ten.
00:38:32.920 And to me, it's like five, you're neutral, six and above, you're half full, you're hopeful, four and below, you're half empty.
00:38:39.600 And when you're half empty, you're like, why did I even wrestle?
00:38:42.840 I don't even like wrestling.
00:38:44.080 You know what I'm saying?
00:38:45.180 Why am I even traveling and doing this show?
00:38:47.520 When you're empty, you can pick apart anything.
00:38:51.180 You know what I mean?
00:38:51.700 And so as I began to see that, what really became clear to me,
00:38:56.260 I'm just trying to optimize and evolve over time
00:38:59.340 because when you ask yourself it and you take a note of it,
00:39:04.860 a lot of times it ends up being the same thing.
00:39:08.000 And so it seems like it's all of these things,
00:39:11.180 but it's really four or five key things that keep bringing you down.
00:39:15.180 that when it becomes so obvious that's what i need to change and then when you begin to change
00:39:20.140 that now over time because i went from a place because because this is kind of how the flow
00:39:24.780 worked i started doing it in 2014 and it wasn't until 2020 did i collect the data for the whole
00:39:31.500 year because when i would really when i would be really low then i don't want to collect the data
00:39:36.320 right like so then you go on these big dark periods okay then you then you're back on and
00:39:40.860 you get and eventually they got less and less to then and what really what changed me in 2020
00:39:47.260 specifically is somebody heard me talk about it in an interview and and they they emailed me and
00:39:54.440 said hey i could write a script for the way because i just keep all the stuff in my google calendar
00:39:58.140 and they they wrote a script for me to pull it out and put it in dashboards so now it gamified it now
00:40:04.320 i'm looking at like seeing my numbers and be like and then it was so clear that like when i don't
00:40:09.560 drink eat clean get up at five meditate get in the gym brain train like like that my quality of life
00:40:16.720 is higher it became so obvious so it changed the way that i began to approach health and the
00:40:22.160 importance of it it's brilliant but to be honest with you i am afraid of having to get up at 5 a.m
00:40:29.540 of having to eat right every day i'm afraid of the reality that i know is right it's there look
00:40:35.360 But I don't want to confront you.
00:40:37.180 Listen to me.
00:40:38.080 You shouldn't confront it, and you shouldn't want to do this.
00:40:41.900 But I want to be successful.
00:40:43.720 No, no, no. 1.00
00:40:44.540 This is some old man shit. 1.00
00:40:45.740 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:40:47.820 This is like, it's at 28, 29.
00:40:50.360 You're 29 or 28.
00:40:51.560 47.
00:40:52.680 Jesus.
00:40:53.400 What's going on?
00:40:54.120 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:40:54.940 You don't even, hey, just keep eating fucking Taco Bell. 1.00
00:40:58.020 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:40:59.540 You don't get up.
00:41:01.100 You sleep in.
00:41:01.860 I'm right.
00:41:02.440 Hey, I show up here early.
00:41:04.400 You show up here early.
00:41:05.320 I'm doing it eight minutes early.
00:41:07.080 I'm one minute late to my own podcast.
00:41:09.100 While being ridiculously successful,
00:41:11.320 I know people that should be 20 minutes early
00:41:13.340 and they're late.
00:41:13.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:14.740 My question is this.
00:41:16.920 First of all,
00:41:17.720 you've literally changed my whole perception of life.
00:41:20.620 Like, I actually want to go home and try this.
00:41:22.320 It's brilliant.
00:41:23.360 It's amazing.
00:41:24.600 Here's the output.
00:41:26.400 Pure happiness.
00:41:27.760 It's just happiness.
00:41:28.920 So it's worth it.
00:41:29.340 That's it.
00:41:30.480 This is why you should do it.
00:41:32.240 Input, output.
00:41:33.100 Input, output.
00:41:33.320 That's it.
00:41:33.640 it's like what are you really trying to do in life you know what your happiness is found getting up
00:41:37.500 every day and being filled with energy excited about everything you're doing that's really what
00:41:42.520 it ends and what you're doing today is based off of every decision you made in the past
00:41:47.740 this experience the reason if you ran all around and things are crazy and out of control because
00:41:52.860 you made the decision we're going to take the show on the road somebody find a place we got
00:41:56.440 to get it like if there's chaos involved in it you can look back on everything on whatever feeling
00:42:02.260 you have that day to every all the decisions you made in the past so you have to get better and
00:42:06.980 better at making decisions that create a better future present right yeah it's so it's so yeah
00:42:12.840 go no no no no please dude i love everything you're saying i'm literally i might look like
00:42:17.840 i'm zoning out it's generally because i'm like how do i adjust to do this like i'm actually very
00:42:22.200 excited about this the reason i'm i know for a fact it works well one you're you're a huge example
00:42:26.960 and then two uh not what you did exactly but when i was very young uh my mom never pushed religion
00:42:34.180 on me but she said why don't you journal how you feel the days you start with god versus the days
00:42:38.740 you don't meditation and that's how i built my own relationship with god because i was like whoa
00:42:43.160 this actually like really significantly helped um your meditation at five o'clock in the morning
00:42:48.220 uh i'm guessing you don't smoke or drink because like this is how do you because i like i can't go
00:42:53.760 to sleep because i'm an insomniac yeah but the only thing that could put me out is is smoking
00:42:57.900 weed and this has been going back and forth with me because the next day i feel groggy i'm motivated
00:43:02.600 29 i look like i'm 49 because of the beard but i'm 29 no you just you smell like pot do i smell
00:43:08.520 like oh my god oh my god i got so nervous i got so nervous right now oh man i just took it out
00:43:18.420 dude you weren't even looking at me so i was like dude he doesn't even want his nose to be directed
00:43:23.000 at me all right all right look look to that point that's a beautiful god god bless your mother you
00:43:27.560 know what i mean and again it's just it's it's self-reflecting in in what it is but i when i
00:43:33.700 was your age i smoked weed to go to sleep i drank every night you know what i mean it's like i i
00:43:40.240 eventually got to a place where where like if i like eat the wrong thing at the wrong time it will
00:43:47.120 affect my sleep you know it'll and i track it like through the numbers so i can see what it is i track
00:43:52.680 you become so optimized and you become you fall in love with the feeling of feeling amazing all
00:43:58.740 the time that you know when you know I just went to Cabo and you know I it took me five days to
00:44:06.080 recover and and I had to fight through like for how optimized as I am just drinking you know four
00:44:11.680 days in a row put my mind into this place of questioning all these things I had to keep telling
00:44:16.560 myself wait till uh you get through the weekend when you get back in your rhythm don't make any
00:44:20.980 decisions this week I was being short with the people that worked with me like like I had the
00:44:25.400 awareness of like hey if you're gonna like go on vacation and normally i create like literally
00:44:30.480 a recovery period after vacation uh so i don't make any bad decisions or whatever it may be but
00:44:36.540 that's like when you get to this level of like optimization it just becomes much more nuanced as
00:44:45.160 in in what the output is in your quality of life and it's like you think how we look at tom brady
00:44:50.620 of like y'all this is insane this guy's so committed like it's so much discipline and like
00:44:54.220 But getting to like that level of discipline and optimization in all aspects of my life, I realized like, oh, you're not it's it goes from, you know, you create systems, you get super consistent.
00:45:06.280 They become habits. Those habits become simply a way of life and intuitively how you operate.
00:45:12.000 I'm not trying to be disciplined. I just am because of the systems in the way that I built my life and how long you've done it for.
00:45:19.980 I think that's the most important message to the people.
00:45:21.840 I didn't miss because people are going to see you talking about dashboards.
00:45:25.540 Look, they've already turned it off.
00:45:27.140 They've already turned it off.
00:45:28.180 Oh, they haven't.
00:45:28.580 Trust me.
00:45:29.040 Listen to me.
00:45:29.480 Our audience is super elevated, Rob.
00:45:31.880 Listen to me.
00:45:33.360 But some of them will see you and you're like, okay, every day I wake up, 5 a.m., I meditate.
00:45:37.520 Yeah.
00:45:38.140 Checkboxes, data, Excel sheets, walking computer.
00:45:41.200 I am a cyborg.
00:45:42.720 I bet you got a stand-up desk.
00:45:43.860 Right?
00:45:44.680 I don't.
00:45:45.360 I don't.
00:45:45.960 I don't.
00:45:46.420 I do got a digital whiteboard.
00:45:47.400 A treadmill stand-up desk and a digital whiteboard.
00:45:49.540 I do have a good word.
00:45:50.660 A digital wipe?
00:45:51.800 Dude, you have everything.
00:45:53.280 It's Rob Dudek.
00:45:54.020 Look, you're just at the tip of the iceberg.
00:45:56.600 My God.
00:45:57.140 It goes deeper than that.
00:45:58.120 The rest is within the water.
00:45:59.360 But they'll all see this and they'll be like, 1.00
00:46:01.000 fuck that shit. 1.00
00:46:02.520 Yeah. 1.00
00:46:02.720 I'm going to get a drink.
00:46:03.740 You know what I'm saying?
00:46:04.220 Because the idea of that ultra-efficient,
00:46:07.600 optimized cyborg human is a turnoff to them
00:46:09.940 because it's unrealistic.
00:46:11.200 But when you turn to the camera and you say,
00:46:13.040 yo, I started with day one
00:46:14.540 with one five-sentence journal entry.
00:46:17.880 Yeah.
00:46:18.060 they can relate to that you know what i'm saying and that became a habit you know what i'm saying
00:46:22.640 but this is why my mission is like i know i wasn't like this five years ago six years ago
00:46:28.600 like i discovered this in the process of failure right like i initially you know to give you even
00:46:34.840 the context like i'm i i basically just did a million different things i would just go high
00:46:40.740 and low boom and bust boom and bust what's the next big thing i got wild grinders on nickelodeon
00:46:44.600 I got Fantasy Factor, Ridiculousness, Professional Skateboarding League, all these companies I got.
00:46:48.700 It's like one of these is going to be the big winner for me that then I'll find happiness.
00:46:55.700 Then I'll find balance.
00:46:57.100 Then I'll be in a steady relationship and all these things, right?
00:47:00.000 That's how I approach life.
00:47:01.280 And then in the middle of all that chaos, I was raising money for my Professional Skateboarding League at the time,
00:47:09.360 which I didn't even know what an investment baker was.
00:47:11.980 I didn't even know what venture capital was in 2013.
00:47:14.600 you know what I'm saying like I when they said hey your league's worth 30 million dollars I'm
00:47:19.120 like we did 7 million in revenue how is that even possible I didn't even know multiples I didn't
00:47:24.020 even know how any of it worked and when I went out and pitched my league like everybody like I
00:47:30.180 would pitch my league after I pitched myself of like here you know I have all these companies
00:47:34.920 these integrated this fully integrated multi-platform universe of brands and media of
00:47:38.900 cartoons and skateboard leagues and foundation with skate parks and multiple shows on mtv all
00:47:44.700 these things like and so they were like well can we let's have a deal with everything you do
00:47:49.640 and so they one of the big investment groups out here the rain group like offered me like basically
00:47:57.360 a 360 deal where like hey we will value you at the time it was like they would value me at 100
00:48:03.680 million and that they were going to give me 50 million for half of everything i did forever
00:48:09.560 and then i was going to get um i would get 30 million off the top and 20 million into the
00:48:17.500 company right and at the time you know i want to say you know yeah i was probably making like 10 or
00:48:22.300 12 million at the time right and it was annually yeah and then i was like finally finally man these
00:48:31.700 really smart business people see it in me the these guys see it i'm meant to be a billionaire
00:48:38.100 they're the ones to get me there finally all my chaos and highs and lows and sandy like
00:48:43.940 like finally the smart guys recognize the potential in this guy you know time to take
00:48:50.700 me to let's go to the billy club how do you get to the bill club guys you know what i'm saying
00:48:54.660 it's really where my mind was because you got to think i'm uneducated i've i quit high school i
00:48:58.840 don't understand money I'm just like I will things into existence I fantasize about what a great
00:49:04.380 business it would be and then when it's like I spent all that time and lost a couple million
00:49:08.500 dollars like oh okay well I guess that didn't work right like I didn't understand it but when
00:49:14.300 they did the diligence on me and stripped away because they had to look at all my personal
00:49:19.420 finances how I managed my money at all the the every company I had in everything they were like
00:49:25.320 you're uninvestable oh we will loan you seven million dollars to figure out like how to make
00:49:32.400 a business out of you you have to go on a salary of 700 grand a year and you know at the time like
00:49:38.420 what and and then pay us back of this seven million at a 10 interest and then if we can't
00:49:45.420 figure out how to build a business around you then we get to keep this equity from uh equity
00:49:50.960 percentage of you for life no i don't think yeah it was the most devastating it went from what's up
00:49:56.500 we going to the billy club you know what are we doing to just like you are and then at that moment
00:50:02.620 yeah you want to know what i was at that point like you're not the business person you think
00:50:07.480 you are you're not the like like you're you don't even like what do you even like about any of this
00:50:13.160 right like is it just you're just gonna keep creating more and like try to find the answers
00:50:18.680 Like that's when I was really at like, like you can't live like this.
00:50:24.680 And I said to them, like, I'm going to come back to you.
00:50:27.460 And when I come back to you, I'm going to have the plan figured out.
00:50:31.080 And then then when I get asked for the money, I'm going to know exactly what the money will be used for and what we're going to grow.
00:50:37.280 I'm going to figure this out on my own.
00:50:39.080 And it started this journey that just led to hiring all these people, these different books and different consultants that began to shape my entire way of creating not just how I wanted to build businesses and create value from a venture perspective, but what type of life did I want?
00:50:58.020 then i designed that life and began to live it and then at the end the people that bought my
00:51:04.400 production company for 190 million and were the same group that offered to give me the seven
00:51:11.060 million dollar loan that's how crazy the poetic justice is betting on yourself and then forget
00:51:17.080 about they would have owned half of you and you would have just got 30 million and you know
00:51:20.880 instead like you bet on yourself and that's where the magic side is where once i built the harmony
00:51:26.520 in my my existence and began to like build systems for everything and look at life of you know
00:51:32.920 setting goals and all aspects of life then I began to create this extraordinary energy and I kept
00:51:38.520 evolving and growing and learning and growing and learning and my whole world grew into the state
00:51:43.900 that I am today which is like you're like what like I'll be like looking at my shower and be like
00:51:50.240 you're so lucky like I'll be driving like pulling out of the just take my kids go be like look at
00:51:54.080 life you have like this is crazy like you don't practice gratitude you're overwhelmed by it and
00:52:00.240 then like you just continually attract abundance it's just non-stop bigger more fulfilling things
00:52:08.860 that tie back to what ultimately creates that harmony peace and happiness within you
00:52:15.460 is what attracts to you now you know sure leading with but you got to design it yeah 0.96
00:52:20.700 to get there but you can't design the 27 you got to become 37 and fucking hit rock bottom
00:52:26.500 okay mike it's time which way's the billy club which way's the billy club 1.00
00:52:33.240 it's so real dude you are fucking elevated rob dear dick yeah you are literally like super 0.98
00:52:41.060 elevated yeah i thought we were gonna talk about i don't know if you follow him on instagram but 0.99
00:52:46.240 this this is this is what it's about god dang bro no wonder you didn't pick up busting this holy 1.00
00:52:51.040 shit we are we are fucking morons look that was hey that's up hey that's up to the network you 1.00
00:52:57.440 know now can we talk about skateboarding i i wanted to ask one thing because we're kind of 1.00
00:53:02.760 talking about business and money we'll get we'll get into it but um you know you love what you do
00:53:07.180 and similarly to me money is a awesome byproduct of just i am blessed to say i say this with
00:53:15.100 privilege i get to do what i love every day and it's fucking awesome um but is is there is there a
00:53:22.140 a level where you can pat yourself on the back and say you know this isn't so much about just
00:53:29.060 making the money anymore you know it's it i have all the things i want or or is it your way of
00:53:35.080 keeping tally it's a scoreboard and you want to win you know it's it's it's relative right
00:53:40.800 because it's you've got to understand what do you want money for right and then you know usually
00:53:47.000 it's like a way of life and oh it's freedom and it's these things okay well how what is that and
00:53:50.880 how does that work and then like like getting to that then then it's your identity i need to fly
00:53:57.580 private everywhere i need to have ferraris i need to live in a 30 million dollar house like these
00:54:02.580 are all things that like like i've built within my identity that i needed to set as sort of the
00:54:07.820 milestones but but then I wanted to create a simple way of like how did I make money and keep
00:54:15.040 score right because at the end of the day you still want to invest your money and see a return
00:54:19.400 on the money you invest like and you want to earn money and in money ends up being this really
00:54:25.220 you know I'm I'm as you evolve and change like your desires your wants and needs evolve and
00:54:32.940 change right and and for me it's like how I help my family what I do with my foundation like but
00:54:37.600 But at the end of the day, as it relates to what it is, I set these goals and achieve these goals and continually push these goals.
00:54:46.380 But I'm looking at it at this matrix of like, OK, earned income is taxed at 50 percent.
00:54:51.720 It's it's long term capital gains is 35.
00:54:54.440 It's like, OK, I, you know, risk a high risk venture where I'm looking to get these huge multiples on on the businesses that I create because it's part of my passion.
00:55:04.760 So then to balance that out, I only invest in cash flowing real estate. Right. So then it's fully tax efficient. And I have no I don't have to put any effort in it. I use it through syndication. I use syndicators and great operators. So that just generates the cash. And then the balance and the harmony in my life is like those buildings pay for my way of life.
00:55:26.200 Passive. Right. Yeah. So I don't I don't the fully tax efficient passive income leaves me spiritually set for life. Right. So I don't ever have to even think about I don't ever make a move as as for money.
00:55:41.820 like i'm only spending time and energy on things that i want to create but the business stuff that
00:55:48.640 i create i still want to measure it by its success and its success will be measured by its return on 0.99
00:55:55.380 my invested capital you know yeah you have you went from like fuck you money to like whatever's 0.99
00:56:00.340 above that like you have you have like spirit you have like spiritual spirit money that's 1.00
00:56:05.400 spirit money bro like think about that shit but but like your ancestors are rich but but and i'll 0.98
00:56:11.640 it reversed it went back down the bloodline it made so much money your great-grandfather is rich 0.99
00:56:19.580 in idaho look look no look i'm the last look i was the last person to carry the deer deck name on
00:56:24.960 and now my son is the the final deer deck to continue the legacy of the deer decks
00:56:29.720 we need to talk about that and so about how you keep him out of nightclubs and away from cocaine
00:56:34.120 yeah no yeah look i mean the reason yeah the reason like it would like i i can see parents
00:56:40.480 and how their kids are going to start doing coke for sure right at school you know say well this
00:56:45.820 guy for sure you know what i mean like and it's like it's my like think of the think of the way
00:56:53.000 that i operate and then think that i dedicate the majority of my time to my family right and so like
00:56:58.980 the kids don't even know they don't even feel me working you know what i mean because of how much
00:57:04.400 i am there and pick them up from school every day take them to school every day like how i'm i've
00:57:09.780 never missed a pediatrician appointment you know i've never like i am you know there's nothing i've
00:57:14.680 ever missed right and so it's then that's the personal development in your greatest creation
00:57:20.800 is these beings that you created through this absolute true love that you have with your wife
00:57:25.900 so it's like shaping them into incredible human beings is ultimately what your goal is but then
00:57:32.280 what are you you are the ultimate example you and your your wife's love your representation of how
00:57:39.480 life can be balanced and happy and harmonious is what they get to look at versus like where's dad
00:57:46.200 oh dad's in hollywood tonight yeah you know his hide still his hide still around he's gonna be up
00:57:53.340 at five o'clock and meditate but he's gonna meditate still he's still drunk he's eternally 0.97
00:57:59.340 meditating he's fucked up how did you how did you become tony robbins bro like honest because dude 0.96
00:58:05.040 listen bro you the last rob so i obviously didn't pay enough attention like as of the past few years 1.00
00:58:11.780 but like you used to just smash shit like girls even you would be boozing like getting fucked up 0.99
00:58:17.820 breaking shit and now you're just like dude the harmonious combination of the true love of my wife 0.99
00:58:23.400 the output that is children and the spiritual money that i could pass back up bloodline 0.99
00:58:28.500 has produced an all-time appropriate, efficient, optimized cyborg human.
00:58:34.880 I'm like, rah, bro.
00:58:36.680 I want to live with you and just inspire you every day.
00:58:40.020 And you just regurgitate it back.
00:58:41.920 Yeah, look, you know, I go back to that moment in time, right,
00:58:47.440 where it's like I knew that I was never going to find true fulfillment in the life.
00:58:53.760 I wasn't meant to continue to live that life,
00:58:56.140 and I was feeling pressure as I got older.
00:58:58.500 of like, is this how I'm, I'm going to, am I'm going to just going to be in the club when I'm
00:59:02.360 45? You know what I mean? Like still like, like, am I, am I Leonardo here? Do I continue to date
00:59:10.180 like young girls, like forever, you know? And, and really it, it, it, it started with that whole
00:59:16.300 idea of like, who do you really want to become? Yeah. Because some people do, some people truly
00:59:21.560 do want to do that. That's what I'm saying. So it's like, it's, it's like, that just wasn't for
00:59:25.540 me like I knew I wanted to evolve in and really in the beginning like there's no part of me that
00:59:31.640 that thought that like I didn't even want to write a book I was on like Lewis's podcast early on in
00:59:36.460 like 2016 when I really finally built the whole I started realizing the vision of what I'd created
00:59:42.260 since the 2013 sort of 360 deal and and like even back then it was like oh I just want I don't want
00:59:49.760 to build all this I don't want to like talk about it I want to go and build it and then once I built
00:59:55.500 it it was like whoa like look at what you were able to create in such a short amount of time
01:00:03.140 then it became like I almost became satisfied because almost like I'm created such like a
01:00:10.320 level of wealth if you will in just overall like success in life and in in all aspects that I
01:00:19.780 shifted from self-preservation to like generational preservation like I shifted into this sort of
01:00:25.860 legacy feeling of like well what can you leave behind and it accelerated me towards this like
01:00:32.380 idea of like man I want to this worked for me and it's like so much more unbelievable that I want to
01:00:39.020 create this I want to work to get this into a tool that ultimately other people can make their own
01:00:46.640 version replica whenever they're ready and and and like be able to go do it themselves because
01:00:53.240 i don't want to be tony robbins i don't i don't even want to like shoot the podcast for more than
01:00:58.520 a few more years i don't want to go around and like do speeches and be a speaker like i get some
01:01:04.520 energy from it there's some performance aspect to just doing interviews and stuff but that's why i
01:01:09.720 want to create a software that every person in the world can use to design their life and master time
01:01:15.760 energy and clarity to live a harmonious high quality existence that's cool yeah see what
01:01:20.620 he's trying to do he's trying to automate into actual ai now yeah yeah he wants to really become
01:01:25.000 a cyborg but but imagine if if it began to guide you and led you towards your ultimate like your
01:01:32.160 version of heaven on earth right and and that's really what are you religious because it's funny
01:01:37.620 heaven on earth what you're describing is religion yeah well i mean to a degree i mean i i you know
01:01:43.280 when i hear him say like you know journaling led him to his like relationship with god you know
01:01:47.540 it's like always like that's so fascinating you know because god's heart it's hard for me to be
01:01:52.040 religious based off of you know looking at the historical evolution of human beings and what
01:01:57.580 we've sort of like learned in the last you know 100 years of sort of how the entire universe is
01:02:02.520 made up and what it is but i'm on the exact right but i'm on the exact opposite but but but but to
01:02:09.840 that point is it there's it's still been you're reading the bible there's so many things that
01:02:15.180 were called into fruition if you subscribe to the bible then that's automatically is again you guys
01:02:21.000 have started off in total disagreements yeah and again and again but look but forget about forget
01:02:25.920 about the bible forget about the bible and religion it's i'm whatever you're selling
01:02:31.540 only old testament i'm in the deer deck machine now uh but but it's like you know there was a
01:02:39.580 creator and you know that everything's connected so and it's it will never be able to fathom it
01:02:44.660 so when i i feel connected to the universe and feel much more spiritual uh but i don't necessarily
01:02:51.560 tie that to a specific religion you know what i mean it's hard for me to connect it to to a
01:02:57.820 religion although i do have i i believe all the principles in there are the principles of what it
01:03:03.640 what it what it takes to live a high quality happy life one thousand yeah you two are very aligned
01:03:09.540 i totally agree but it's almost it's almost irrelevant because we're ending up in the same
01:03:15.400 place yeah you know it's just where i'm trying to be a good person yeah why are you making that face
01:03:19.600 no i just i just no i just that was funny because you're not is he not oh you think i'm going to 1.00
01:03:24.920 hell motherfucker no i do not think you're getting the pineapples you think you're going to heaven 0.99
01:03:30.920 yeah you do hey just agree that we're all going to the same place wait what which i believe that 1.00
01:03:38.520 like sorry i'm saying is it the building we're all ending in this in the conclusion is the same
01:03:49.100 like whether it's whether you want to call it spiritual or religious it's you know be a good
01:03:53.740 person lead a positive life that's where be good to those around you and love yeah but at the end 1.00
01:03:58.700 of the day look at the end of the day you are trying again stop fucking smiling like a pervert 0.99
01:04:03.600 look the truth is he's not gonna say it but you're going to hell okay he's not gonna say it 0.99
01:04:14.600 no no i know anything about christianity you're not getting forgiven buddy
01:04:18.760 okay look look it's real but but but but but as as per his religion you have as long as you're
01:04:29.900 still alive a chance to repent and ask the lord jesus to forgive you i'm gonna do it right before 0.96
01:04:35.380 i die and then if you time it and you're fucking if you can if you got good timing you're gonna 0.93
01:04:43.760 see that man in heaven you're gonna see that man in the presence of god so this is when you said 0.99
01:04:48.940 you're gonna say i'm sorry at the last second get the get out of my face buddy yeah it's fascinating
01:04:55.720 but no i'm so sorry i have to say this week is kind of ironic that you said that i i am on the
01:05:00.860 opposite end because when i came to my my like spiritual realm which i i i try to tell people
01:05:06.980 if you're in a hard life do something spiritual because it does help but i read stuff in the
01:05:12.540 scripture that blows me away that i'm like yo this is so on the nose like just things like washing
01:05:19.760 your hands when jesus was like make sure it's running water now you pause that you don't think
01:05:23.880 for a second but you go 2 000 years you're like they didn't know about washing your hands and
01:05:28.360 bacteria how does he know that it has to be flowing water has to keep run they would walk
01:05:33.340 about it you don't know see this is what i'm talking about now we're on the now we're on a
01:05:37.280 playing field that we could we could testify to but my thing uh test i can't
01:05:42.720 but my my thing is i read the bible and it was on the opposite end i see how the world was created
01:05:51.400 yeah and look and i and i think that's the beauty of the bible as it relates to how important faith
01:05:56.900 is and giving you that sense of security and ultimately the harmony that you need in life
01:06:02.240 my mother's the same way right so it's like my my mother my mom you know what i mean it's like
01:06:07.200 she's like it's the bane of her existence that our kids don't go to church you know what i'm
01:06:12.380 saying like it's like you know her and she's just praying every day that both of my kids will become
01:06:17.860 ministers right like it's like quite an arc you know what i'm saying no one's right and so it's
01:06:25.040 like like so to me i see i don't i try not to like i would never tell anyone of faith of like
01:06:31.340 hey here's my like reason of why i don't like necessarily connect with religion because i
01:06:37.560 think it's powerful and very important to those that it matters to you know what i mean and
01:06:41.840 ultimately like will the payoffs guaranteed the payoffs guaranteed because like you you live your
01:06:50.220 whole life like in the faith and then like you're you're good to go in the end and if you're so if
01:06:56.180 you're wrong we're all wrong but if you're right thank god you so this is my problem this is my
01:07:02.060 problem no no no because people think i only read the bible because i'm terrified of going to hell
01:07:05.640 and this is a huge no i'm not saying that's your thing but this is why a lot of people don't want
01:07:09.580 to do religion listen to me i can't believe that you are part of this show like that like that you
01:07:15.140 would be that religious and then these maniacs you know what i'm saying like we needed someone
01:07:19.820 to tie it off yeah we have the full 360 mike is a christian as well but george is the super
01:07:25.580 religious scholar and listen i love it i love your preaching i don't i don't i don't i talk about it
01:07:31.080 like a lot of people get upset or they love it but i talk about it because it is it is me i live it
01:07:36.600 and i try to live it i'm trying to be a better human but through the gospel right because i feel
01:07:41.660 like there's wisdom that is put on there for me to learn from and it's through your perspective
01:07:45.600 right so when you read it your perspective is already through the lens of god there's so much
01:07:52.020 great stuff in here and like oh i connect with this one and you get it where i read i read it
01:07:57.340 and i'm like man this is just like like this is so fabricated and like there's so many holes in
01:08:02.680 here like i read it through this like much more critical lens um as as i look at it but i don't
01:08:09.940 but i'm not i'm not trying to make it wrong or i'm not even trying to contemplate it at the end
01:08:14.420 of the day right and make no mistake they're they for for me and logan both um inside our heart of
01:08:23.080 hearts we're a little bit scared of like our god denial is going to come back to bite us when we
01:08:27.300 die you know what i'm saying so when you go to hell we've talked about this on the show rob
01:08:32.340 when you go to hell every single day when you wake up the first thing that happens is they 1.00
01:08:36.800 shove a pineapple into your asshole and here's the problem rob it's not the pointy end it's the 1.00
01:08:42.880 wide side at the bottom so wide side first straight into your butthole yeah and if you've 1.00
01:08:47.860 not prepped for that for life yeah luckily for me that's that's going to be painful since that 0.97
01:08:53.300 butthole's never seen any action i'm just going to end it with this because i don't want it to
01:08:57.300 go down a spiritual thing because i love debating by the way and by the way rob i i love debating
01:09:03.760 uh biblically in a healthy way because i think it's it's important for everybody to share their
01:09:08.060 beliefs and respect yes the other person so i respect everything you say the one thing that
01:09:12.640 i just want to just like leave it just because it's in my heart and i want to say to you um
01:09:16.920 hypothetically there is a god forget heaven forget hell and you're on this earth you have children
01:09:22.420 you've been very very fruitful the only thing i just want to leave this off of is there is a
01:09:26.560 mighty god out there um i think it just starts by inviting him into your life be like hey i don't
01:09:30.920 think you exist be honest i think your book is completely trash i can point no for real be open
01:09:36.860 and honest because it means you had a relationship it only works if we're honest here's the problem
01:09:41.680 yeah right is i have a relationship with god right but it's god to me is the creator in the
01:09:48.900 universe your god yeah you know what i'm saying like i don't so i don't believe there's no god
01:09:53.440 i believe there is like a creator i believe that there is something way beyond our ability to
01:09:58.860 understand i'm connected to the universe which i which but i don't connect to religion right
01:10:06.280 because there's so many different religions do you pray i don't pray you know what i'm saying
01:10:10.660 like i'm i meditate right and even when i meditate like i'm you know i use it as a tool like i listen
01:10:17.780 i'm sitting a a you know a an egg okay an actual it is like it's called the soma dome it's like
01:10:25.060 basically an egg that comes down over top of you it has light and sound and a guided meditation
01:10:30.360 and the meditation is about your connectedness to the universe and your ability to create anything
01:10:36.860 you want in life and then i just sit in there and picture myself in the future right because to me
01:10:42.760 i don't i'm not contemplating life i'm trying to live a big fulfilling amazing rewarding life i
01:10:51.960 i don't spend much time um you know like putting energy into what the end will be like and what
01:11:00.320 what is it all for because i would rather like live it to the fullest and and continue to live
01:11:07.760 it at a high level and energetic level on a continual basis because that's where true happiness
01:11:14.540 is you know what i mean that for me so you know could you do me a favor yeah after i have a healthy
01:11:19.480 debate with somebody who is on the opposite side of my mindset i say i say this i would i hope that
01:11:25.040 you could meditate and talk
01:11:27.000 to your higher power. And if I'm
01:11:28.940 wrong, I pray that your God
01:11:30.920 saves me, figures me out.
01:11:33.240 And also, I go home and I go,
01:11:34.980 God, I invite you into his life to open
01:11:37.080 up his eyes and heart to you. Now...
01:11:38.880 Suck it down. Oh, my man. Wait. 1.00
01:11:40.980 Okay. That feels like
01:11:42.760 the right ending. But
01:11:44.160 I did want to talk about the passing of Big.
01:11:47.240 Yeah. Because, like I said, man,
01:11:49.240 that show, like, was
01:11:51.000 my childhood. That and, you know,
01:11:53.160 The Bachelor, as indicated in
01:11:55.040 If you go on about this, I'll throw everything out.
01:11:57.440 I watched The Bachelor with my papa and Robin Big with my brother.
01:12:01.000 Well, we did.
01:12:02.360 And what an amazing show.
01:12:04.820 What an amazing show.
01:12:06.500 You sort of even pioneered the reality odd couple format.
01:12:13.760 Again, you've done a lot of stuff.
01:12:15.740 Well, keep in mind, there was no such thing as comedy reality.
01:12:19.860 The only hybrid back then was sort of what the Osbournes was
01:12:23.060 because they were funny together.
01:12:25.040 But it wasn't, like, when we pitched them, like, we went into MTV and pitched.
01:12:30.940 It was called Best Friends.
01:12:32.300 Like, I came in with the song, people let me tell you about my best friend.
01:12:36.760 And they were like, but when I, they wouldn't buy that show.
01:12:40.440 They bought Rob Dyrdek's Rules to Success.
01:12:43.520 And rule number one is always surround yourself with good people.
01:12:46.860 And he was the person that I surrounded myself with.
01:12:51.720 You know what I mean?
01:12:52.140 like and then when we shot the pilot it was terrible like they made us write an entire script
01:12:59.160 and like second day of shooting like was like we're in the kitchen and we were supposed to do
01:13:03.540 this whole script and all the executives were in the living room watching us we were supposed to
01:13:07.620 be like saying lines essentially yeah and then he's like he's like man if we were in prison i'd
01:13:12.980 get you it's like okay first of all you couldn't even catch me oh i could run you down you couldn't
01:13:17.320 run me down and it like it was like it was like that moment was like then it was like no like
01:13:22.460 let's have a foot race now it was like forget about the script like you could let's see if
01:13:26.160 you could catch me like and like that like then they began to see like oh no like this is let it
01:13:32.140 run like this is who they are is it is a buddy comedy but it had never existed before so they
01:13:39.040 didn't understand how that was even possible then they allowed allowed us to like create and and
01:13:45.060 really shane nickerson who was a story editor uh was brought in to really reinforce like here's
01:13:51.520 how you build story around these guys which allowed it to become rob and big instead of being
01:13:57.260 you know one one season and done a pilot and done of rob dirich's rules to success you know many
01:14:03.600 horses many horses oh my god i've been a mini horse so long because of you just you have to
01:14:09.200 understand i went on a i went on a mission to figure out how to get a small horse
01:14:13.120 this is real life behind the scenes mini horses i'm not kidding oh my god listen to me like and
01:14:19.660 so i when i go to the network and say first episode i'm getting a mini horse they came back
01:14:24.020 and said we don't like it we don't want to do it and i said okay all right so here's the deal
01:14:28.640 when the season opens up there's going to be a mini horse here so you guys can either film it
01:14:35.040 or you know and i had made such a big deal about it of like i'm getting like don't tell me what i
01:14:40.600 can do it's my house i'm putting a horse in it and then when we shot it and showed up to pick up 0.96
01:14:46.140 that horse it was the realest moment of big black being like man sure you want this big ass horse 0.69
01:14:52.360 right because it wasn't it was like it was like a pony you know what i'm saying it wasn't like 0.98
01:14:56.500 in my mind it was like a dog like this big but damn this thing's good we can't even pick this
01:15:00.960 thing up and like it it but i had committed and it was like yeah yeah yeah you know what i mean 0.75
01:15:06.960 And it created this, you know, obviously incredible device,
01:15:10.380 but never had a relationship with the horse.
01:15:12.700 We were never cool.
01:15:15.280 They're notoriously mean, though.
01:15:16.780 They're super mean.
01:15:18.140 And, like, luckily we found, like, a place for him to live.
01:15:21.780 And, you know, I had to spend all that money to build a switchback trail
01:15:24.660 down my property to get him down.
01:15:26.860 And then we would literally shoot a scene, and I'd be like, peace.
01:15:31.260 And, like, then the handler would come in and take him down the switchback
01:15:34.180 and take him to somewhere in Burbank.
01:15:35.520 then when we'd shoot a scene like and bring him back yeah so the relationship uh soured pretty
01:15:40.640 quickly oh man it when i realized this is livestock imagine all those mtv producers are like we told
01:15:46.840 you yeah no no no no no at this point they're like it's cold he's a genius he's a genius a
01:15:52.740 mini horse is such a good idea you know what i mean like but yeah it wasn't the relationship
01:15:56.900 wasn't uh wasn't what you'd think it was you know you weren't horsing around yeah and then look you
01:16:02.280 know I think for him it's like this the sad part is like even he was man it was chasing him right
01:16:10.420 heart heart condition was chasing him like everyone in his family died young he was doing
01:16:16.040 everything he could non-stop from like going to the doctor like super consistently and he was still
01:16:21.780 in his 30s at that time you know and and going super consistently and then getting preemptively
01:16:27.460 getting a defibrillator if like his heart shut down it would shock his heart back on like all
01:16:32.940 of this doing every single precaution like even in the year that he passed like he lost like 100
01:16:38.140 pounds and like got through did so many just doing everything that you possibly could in order to not
01:16:46.900 have it catch you and still caught him you know what i mean like it was just race chasing him
01:16:51.540 down his whole life you know not not to trigger you or hopefully this doesn't come off sensitive
01:16:57.840 um if big were alive today how do you think he'd be integrated in your life still uh you know i
01:17:04.540 don't know like when i think about um you know because once because once fantasy factory ended
01:17:08.900 you know because you got to think like we you know keep in mind i wrote the idea for a skit
01:17:14.600 and a skate video you know what i mean and like we didn't like cast it we called like the san
01:17:19.040 Diego local security company was like we're looking for like a big guy that's kind of funny
01:17:23.020 like and it was just he showed up and we shot the skit for the skate video and me and him just
01:17:28.240 just started flowing and then then the skate video blew up then we did a car race across
01:17:34.240 Europe together and they filmed a documentary about it and that's when Jeff Tremaine saw that
01:17:39.020 and was like you guys should do a show you know what I mean like well really Ruben Fleiser who
01:17:43.220 was the director of that uh documentary showed it to Tremaine and both of them were like you
01:17:47.860 should do a show you know now but it was it was taxing and then we had a blowout like in season
01:17:55.420 three because it was like you know for him it was this idea of like oh you're like this guy's
01:18:00.580 security guard when really like it was there was a lot of tension between me and him and then
01:18:04.840 inevitable and then creative tension and then and then once um you know we blew out then i was like
01:18:13.780 really I sold them ridiculousness at that time because I didn't want to shoot a show in my house
01:18:20.000 but they offered me all this money at the time 125 g's an episode to do another reality show
01:18:24.940 and that's when I wrote Fantasy Factory and then you know we didn't talk for a long time you know
01:18:32.220 probably like a year and a half and then the man it was like you know we were in like season like
01:18:38.300 three or four of Fantasy Factory and like you know he reached out I don't know why we connected back
01:18:44.460 and then it was just like it wasn't even it was we didn't talk for like two years and then the
01:18:48.600 moment like we talked you want to shoot this show and then he was just immediately back on and then
01:18:52.240 in Fantasy Factory to the very end you know we're not even a question we didn't even say it's like
01:18:55.940 man I was just being crazy whatever let's get back to work like it was that clean and easy
01:19:00.080 and you know when I when I think about like like you know like how he was integrated into my life
01:19:07.160 up to that point you know post fantasy factory and now you know i'm just really happy that he
01:19:12.420 was able to meet and i have this amazing photo with my son right after my son was born you know
01:19:17.140 like right before um in in that sort of aspect but you know you think about this world that we
01:19:23.460 live in now like his comedy and perspective lends itself to this format you know what i mean like
01:19:31.580 you know even though like like it's just that that off the cuff like being that sort of voice
01:19:38.500 it's like i could see him in like a podcast zone for sure in this zone you know what i mean for
01:19:44.060 sure you've done a fabulous job of setting your life up where there's so many characters around
01:19:50.460 you right yeah you know west coast yeah drama yeah and characters we've fallen in love with
01:19:55.380 and now have amazing lives of their own.
01:19:58.280 Do you think Fantasy Factory was as big as it was
01:20:03.160 because of Chanel's laugh?
01:20:07.300 Which is like that, by the way.
01:20:09.300 No, man, he just turned into her.
01:20:11.060 He's just like, man, he just can't escape her.
01:20:13.440 I told you, he steals like an artist.
01:20:15.480 I feel like you did on that one.
01:20:16.860 He steals everything, bro.
01:20:18.540 He's like, wow, that's a pretty nice laugh.
01:20:22.900 And it's funny because you don't even like...
01:20:25.380 It doesn't even exist in Fantasy Factory that I remember.
01:20:28.140 It may have showed up from time to time, but it would never.
01:20:31.460 And I think even when we initially shot Ridiculousness,
01:20:34.000 I don't even think I fully noticed it.
01:20:37.340 It wasn't until it became like this literally.
01:20:39.900 It's a thing.
01:20:40.300 Oh, my God.
01:20:41.200 Where it became this like half the country like despises it.
01:20:45.180 Half the country loves it.
01:20:46.660 You know what I mean?
01:20:47.040 It was it's always been this like bizarre like like thing
01:20:52.940 that would become so instrumental
01:20:54.820 in this like
01:20:55.940 binary hater love type 0.99
01:20:58.900 of thing you know what I mean I can relate to that
01:21:00.980 I can relate to that polarization
01:21:02.560 for sure and you know 0.98
01:21:04.720 she's awesome I've spent time
01:21:06.940 with her in real life and she's kind of the same person
01:21:09.120 I disagree
01:21:10.840 I disagree I think she's 0.99
01:21:12.280 way more gangster in real life 1.00
01:21:14.460 she strikes me as a gangster 1.00
01:21:16.480 I could see her with a gold 44 1.00
01:21:18.820 magnum yeah that could happen for sure 1.00
01:21:20.540 man if she could hear that she would just be laughing when she hears this she's just gonna
01:21:24.800 be so true so true but but drama too no offense drama i'm gonna ask a question that might offend
01:21:30.840 you but no offense uh drama's kind of bland yeah no he's pretty like a vanilla guy and yet
01:21:36.340 we fell in love with him yeah you were able to to make this guy just like like or he was just so
01:21:43.320 relatable relatable but also like none of y'all took yourself so serious too serious yeah and
01:21:48.920 look i think that's that's like also like the core of like who i am and obviously him because
01:21:56.000 he's like my cousin but we just you know it's like look at what we were able to create and be
01:22:00.700 a part of and get to do and and then you know to to the point of like look at look at not getting
01:22:06.240 trapped by the life or ever being controlled or boxed in by anything and then elevating and
01:22:11.020 evolving it's like this constant sort of being in all of life which never takes um anything too
01:22:18.440 serious and for him you know i think you know he got caught in sort of this being jammed in robin
01:22:24.260 big and then like we really allowed him to sort of evolve because in real life he's super smart
01:22:29.540 super talented you know what i mean and has gone on to find like a ton of success and really you
01:22:36.040 know even as he built his own podcast it was to share his voice like that goes beyond like i'm not
01:22:42.760 like rob's cousin from robin big and then a a someone to like tease on um you know fantasy
01:22:51.940 factory you know and there's certain time you know like one episode where he was getting attacked by
01:22:56.180 the bull yeah and like so it was finally like let's get you into like let's give you a hero
01:23:01.320 stunt to do and like he wouldn't do it because you know when you get attacked by a bull you got
01:23:05.900 to like wait for the bull to hit you right so you got to get in front of it taunt that thing and let
01:23:10.640 it hit you so for me i'm used to being the dude that has to go there get your mind right here we
01:23:16.100 go i gotta get attacked by a shark i gotta flip this car i gotta like jockey this horse i gotta
01:23:20.020 jump this monster truck like for fantasy factory i had to get into like here you go again you got
01:23:25.200 to go do the crazy thing so that you're in that day of like going to the bull ring and just not
01:23:31.340 having to do anything dangerous i felt so good and then after like an hour he wouldn't let that
01:23:37.240 bull hit him and they're like you got to go do it and then i had pulled him aside i said listen to
01:23:41.540 me listen to me do you want me to steal your shine right now is this what you want you wanted
01:23:46.320 this stuff you want me to go in and be like oh drama couldn't do it here comes rob again to do
01:23:50.220 it is that what you want this story to end that and it was like finally like got in there and
01:23:55.620 bam and let that thing hit him and do it he has that energy like like i feel i feel actually feel
01:24:00.780 bad about saying that he he appeared to me as like a pretty like straight man character at first 0.99
01:24:06.660 He's the straight guy that we're going to, like, fuck with and, like, have fun with. 0.91
01:24:09.660 And, like, he's a good gauge of relatability. 0.99
01:24:12.060 But then, again, as time went on, I could almost see him in real time finding himself, like, as a human, as a businessman.
01:24:20.280 A DJ.
01:24:20.400 As now a partner, a DJ, I guess.
01:24:22.360 Young and Reckless was amazing.
01:24:23.920 Like, they produced so much music.
01:24:25.800 You know what I mean?
01:24:26.640 Like, that's how I met Sterling.
01:24:27.980 Sterling was, like, the A&R for, like, he repped all these different producers.
01:24:31.560 And they were placing music with a bunch of artists through the studio in the Fantasy Factory.
01:24:35.800 like so many different people kind of like evolved out of there you know what i mean and
01:24:40.000 and so it's like that's who he really was yeah he also made it on impulsive before rob you know
01:24:47.660 what i'm saying like that's yeah we've been asking rob for a while this is rob deer day i know that's
01:24:54.320 the first time you ever asked i don't think so just kidding i don't know i don't even remember
01:24:57.580 we've been trying to get you on it around like if we get everybody else on but i
01:25:05.780 I had to get to this level
01:25:07.240 to make it worth it.
01:25:08.440 Exactly.
01:25:09.120 As he leaves,
01:25:10.280 he's like,
01:25:10.580 my today's rating is four.
01:25:12.800 I didn't love that 1.00
01:25:13.860 Christian gentleman. 1.00
01:25:14.880 I didn't like him at all. 1.00
01:25:16.460 Oh, no.
01:25:16.980 I'm going to let my mom 0.76
01:25:17.660 listen to this one.
01:25:18.580 You should listen to him.
01:25:19.800 Listen to George.
01:25:20.620 Find your relationship.
01:25:21.460 I go home.
01:25:21.940 I'm like,
01:25:22.180 please let his kids be reverends.
01:25:23.720 Please let his kids be reverends.
01:25:25.840 There's one more thing.
01:25:27.160 Is it skateboarding? 0.99
01:25:28.160 It's the skin routine, brother. 1.00
01:25:30.080 Fuck. 1.00
01:25:31.100 We can talk about skateboarding. 1.00
01:25:32.320 Nah, the skin routine's more important. 0.99
01:25:33.560 I just, you know, 0.83
01:25:34.560 i get the honor to spend time with with najah and some of these these guys you know bow and
01:25:40.400 david lloyd and all these guys i love i grew up in bmx woodward pennsylvania my whole life
01:25:45.320 was centered around action sports the only thing i cared about just like it was the only thing you
01:25:49.020 gave a shit about at one point in your life i just want to ask you like you know what who were
01:25:53.920 your inspirations when you started skating and then who do you see now as kind of like the torch 0.98
01:25:58.200 carriers for for the next generation of skaters yeah i mean look i'm for me you know because i
01:26:03.480 grew up in Ohio and it's like kind of a weird place to end up to to to become a professional
01:26:09.140 skateboarder but there was like a serial entrepreneur that owned the skate shop there
01:26:14.860 who would start throwing all these big demos and big events and so like I really like locked in on
01:26:20.860 like man I want to become a pro skateboarder from the very beginning and and to me my vision for the
01:26:26.600 ultimate skater is like Mark Gonzalez right like like super creative and technical and and rock
01:26:32.600 stars like christian soy you know what i mean like like skateboard the beauty of skateboarding
01:26:36.760 is you got to make it your own and evolve into your own sort of um you know style the tricks
01:26:44.160 you chose all of that stuff you know and really you know you got to think like i created my league
01:26:49.560 because i grew up in a world where like when skateboarding competition became irrelevant
01:26:54.780 and then it it had a resurgence but it was done through x games and and do tour and all this stuff
01:27:00.640 So even when I created the league, it was about elevating like all the authentic pro skateboarders and giving them a platform.
01:27:08.220 And one of them is Nyjah, you know, because you got to understand, like Nyjah was like dead broke when his family came to the first street league in Phoenix.
01:27:15.040 And I paid for them their hotel rooms. They had no money.
01:27:17.840 And then that kid won his first pro contest at 15 and and won one hundred and fifty thousand dollars that changed his life and his family's life.
01:27:26.000 and to me it was really all about putting all of those paul rodriguez tory pudwell ryan sheckler
01:27:32.980 giving all of these guys this like authentic platform that we didn't have from our era uh to
01:27:39.660 to to to be able to showcase their abilities on the on the mainstream you know so um like i'm you
01:27:47.440 know am always connected will always be a skater right in the sense of like you just look at
01:27:52.500 everything on its skatability in the world you know it's like that right now no but in a way
01:27:58.340 it's kind of analogous to like what you're doing like what what can i do with giving given what i
01:28:02.660 have right and then it's like and think about it from a failure perspective like you and evolution
01:28:07.500 you want to learn a trick you have to keep trying it over and over and over and begin to make
01:28:11.660 adjustments and learn from it until you finally get it then it's like whoa now it's now it's
01:28:16.340 embedded in your system i think like that's how i've like really at that's what was sort of the
01:28:22.120 core basis of even the system that i developed um that that is the machine and my machine mindset
01:28:28.060 and all the systems that i have today is based in that sort of skate mentality that's so funny
01:28:32.440 that you mentioned that that never goes away like every time you walk downstairs you see like a uh 0.96
01:28:37.300 like hubba or like some big ass ledge you're like yo this ledge is fucking sick you're like 0.91
01:28:42.020 you haven't skated in 15 years that's what i'm saying everything is skatable you're like oh man 0.98
01:28:46.540 I was like that with lawns.
01:28:48.680 I didn't skate.
01:28:49.360 I mowed lawns.
01:28:51.280 No, every lawn, I go, I could do some good lines on that.
01:28:54.580 I'd imagine myself cutting that lawn.
01:28:56.160 I look at tables and think about the lines I could do sometimes.
01:29:00.020 Oh, man.
01:29:00.760 Oh, look at this guy right here.
01:29:02.820 He'd snort this thing.
01:29:04.080 That's a great table.
01:29:05.680 The height of that table for like a house party, like 4 a.m.
01:29:09.240 Oh, my God.
01:29:10.140 Hey, I would argue that it has happened here.
01:29:13.800 dude i was holding a gold olympic gold medal one time at a party in la while people were doing
01:29:20.740 cocaine off of it and that i didn't do that i don't do cocaine i've never done it scares me 0.51
01:29:25.120 but that moment i was definitely a what the fuck is going what olympic gold medalist gave me their 0.80
01:29:30.780 medal so people could do cocaine off it at a party i'm sure they could deduct i'm sure they 0.97
01:29:35.800 could somebody watches right now i'm pretty sure they could easily deduct that if they needed to
01:29:40.380 you know what I mean
01:29:41.080 a little bit different
01:29:42.540 of a question
01:29:42.900 but kind of similar
01:29:43.560 but I want to ask it
01:29:44.480 because I believe
01:29:45.340 there's a kernel
01:29:45.860 of value in it
01:29:46.740 for a specific subset
01:29:48.520 of go-getters
01:29:49.600 when you wipe out 1.00
01:29:51.560 when you eat shit 1.00
01:29:53.020 on that skateboard 1.00
01:29:53.860 why do you get back
01:29:55.520 on that board
01:29:56.180 yeah
01:29:56.720 I've always had trouble
01:29:58.220 not just skateboard
01:29:59.020 I've tried it
01:29:59.720 BMX
01:30:00.660 dirt bike
01:30:01.400 Razor
01:30:02.080 when I 1.00
01:30:02.880 fuck myself up 0.98
01:30:04.300 or the thing 1.00
01:30:05.460 that I'm using
01:30:06.300 it's really hard
01:30:07.820 for me to pick it
01:30:08.400 back up man
01:30:08.920 I get scared
01:30:09.880 out of the hobby.
01:30:11.480 What about getting knocked out?
01:30:13.540 Have you had to get knocked out?
01:30:14.920 What, Paul's thing was fake?
01:30:16.700 Paulo Costa?
01:30:17.680 Yeah.
01:30:17.900 That was fake, man.
01:30:18.700 You got caught, dog.
01:30:19.800 What?
01:30:20.240 You got clickbaited.
01:30:21.280 You clickbaited Rob Dierdick?
01:30:22.680 No, I clickbaited everyone.
01:30:23.720 Yeah, but you specifically got robbed, bro.
01:30:26.160 No, you thought I got knocked out by Paulo Costa.
01:30:29.080 What? 1.00
01:30:29.740 You're a piece of shit, Logan Paul. 1.00
01:30:31.700 Damn, bro. 1.00
01:30:32.600 I'm glad you told me. 1.00
01:30:34.640 I'm glad you told me
01:30:36.020 because it's just been embedded.
01:30:37.280 When I'm looking at you,
01:30:38.060 I'm just seeing, bam, bam.
01:30:39.480 No way.
01:30:40.220 I'm glad you told me.
01:30:41.540 No way.
01:30:42.060 I feel different now.
01:30:43.080 Uh-uh, I've never, never.
01:30:44.880 But, yeah, no, I thought for sure you could relate to that.
01:30:47.340 That's why I got back up and got to punching.
01:30:49.220 No, but some boxers, really good boxers, same thing, will get knocked out.
01:30:54.260 It is different the next time.
01:30:55.800 Well, look, you can see it in MMA, especially.
01:30:58.460 Yeah, yes.
01:30:59.080 You know, especially when you're an undefeated fighter
01:31:02.100 and you've just been running through people
01:31:04.420 and maybe you get some challenges, but you keep running.
01:31:06.500 the like it's sometimes it's worse and we'll see what happens you know how uzman like uh like
01:31:13.080 comes back and evolves right like because you know i think of like orvlovsky where he was just
01:31:17.760 running through people and never lost and then got knocked out and never never quite was ever
01:31:22.080 the same you know it's like because you find you really got doubt punched into your subconscious
01:31:27.240 to where now it's like you're fighting not to get knocked out is what what can sort of evolve and
01:31:32.940 And as you know, fighting is so mental, right?
01:31:36.500 And your self-belief as you're evolving through it, right?
01:31:40.380 And so to me, when I think about like the slams and the crazy,
01:31:45.260 like none of them was ever broke me.
01:31:47.940 I never had major surgeries.
01:31:49.280 I was able to dodge it pretty well, you know what I mean?
01:31:53.260 So I never took like a hit that ended it for me,
01:31:57.180 but my body began to break down, right?
01:32:00.520 So from taking like the little hits and the abuse over time, my body and all the stunts that I did, like my body just began to break down.
01:32:09.240 And part of like my evolution and elevation in life was then like like, you know, having a doctor come to my house five days a week for, you know, the last seven years and just learning every bit of my entire body and rebuilding my body.
01:32:22.860 that's why i say like i'm going to be healthier at 55 than i ever was at 17 because i've figured
01:32:29.040 out my whole body and i've been able to rebuild it and one of the um one of the special outputs
01:32:34.320 of that is beautiful skin right okay let's do it i need to know i'm just kidding i need to know
01:32:42.720 i just do want to touch on that question one one really quickly with why do you get back up after
01:32:48.120 those falls as someone who was concussed off every dirt jump multiple times knocked out cold on the
01:32:55.540 ground broken ribs torn up uh shins from primo super meat tenderizer pedals stitches scars
01:33:02.800 everything that was the only thing i cared about i didn't care about tv i didn't care about going
01:33:09.180 to do my homework i didn't care about hanging out playing baseball with my friends i didn't care 0.88
01:33:13.260 about shit except for every time the dance competition magazine showed up at my house 0.92
01:33:17.020 with new primo parts new s&m stems new s&m dirt biker homes xl edition 21 inch frame i wanted 0.99
01:33:24.180 every part every stem every fork every tire it was the only thing i cared about and so when i 0.90
01:33:29.160 when i'd feeble the ledge and i smashed my face into the fucking ledge all i cared about was 0.91
01:33:33.720 nailing that trick because i loved it and it was the only thing i had and that culture was the only 0.96
01:33:37.740 thing i knew and the only thing i fucking cared about and the set listening to the descendants 0.97
01:33:42.040 and fucking just jamming out. 0.99
01:33:43.660 Seven seconds. 1.00
01:33:44.700 Fugazi.
01:33:45.460 Exactly.
01:33:46.180 Fugazi.
01:33:46.580 Man, doing all that.
01:33:47.580 I didn't know you had a skateboard phase.
01:33:49.500 I had one.
01:33:50.980 I got there with my Walmart board
01:33:52.660 and the guy fell off the thing.
01:33:55.140 I'll never forget this.
01:33:55.900 It was literally,
01:33:56.780 my mom didn't even park the car yet
01:33:58.140 because my mom came with me.
01:33:59.660 And she's parking the car.
01:34:01.240 Some dude went up
01:34:02.020 and landed kind of hard
01:34:03.300 and I was like,
01:34:04.240 wow, that looked like it hurt.
01:34:05.920 But it wasn't that
01:34:06.560 that scared me away.
01:34:07.820 Somebody was like, 1.00
01:34:08.740 yeah, pussy. 1.00
01:34:09.780 And then he took the board 1.00
01:34:11.100 and smacked the dude in the head with it,
01:34:13.300 and I was like, maybe this isn't my sport.
01:34:14.880 Bro, people see that and don't understand
01:34:17.480 what skate culture is like.
01:34:19.680 Every piece of recklessness that is ingrained in my body,
01:34:23.580 sex, drugs, all that,
01:34:25.600 all is a result of skate culture, bro.
01:34:27.500 Skate culture is one of the most destructive, 1.00
01:34:30.040 fucked up places. 1.00
01:34:31.020 You go to a skate park, the shit you see, 1.00
01:34:33.840 the shit people will piss on, 1.00
01:34:35.740 the shit people will break, bro. 1.00
01:34:38.220 It's a fucked up place, 1.00
01:34:39.780 and it made us 1.00
01:34:40.880 especially in Columbus
01:34:42.920 Columbus skate park was sketchy
01:34:45.160 Cleveland skate parks dog
01:34:47.060 you grew up in Columbus though
01:34:48.800 you grew up in Cleveland
01:34:49.920 you went to grow up again?
01:34:52.660 Dayton Flyers
01:34:53.840 that's right
01:34:54.540 Dayton is where the Wright brothers
01:34:57.660 blew the first airplane
01:34:59.020 drop the skincare routine
01:35:00.800 but I want to say to that
01:35:03.540 in that passion that you had
01:35:04.920 that makes me want to get on a bike
01:35:07.240 you know
01:35:08.780 I I and the thing about that growing up in that culture and being like man it was like
01:35:14.400 like it was it was almost like broke me as an adult right because that sort of I thought like
01:35:23.040 that's why I was working so hard and growing haze and going high and low and partying and doing
01:35:27.080 stunts and going crazy like and it just kept elevating and getting bigger going from skateboarding
01:35:31.820 to now flipping cars and getting attacked by sharks and now it's television all this stuff
01:35:36.120 like because I thought that's the only way I could create success right it's like because I
01:35:43.080 grew up in that world of like where everybody quit high school and everybody had to fight and
01:35:47.980 those that even made it beyond like like creating any life for themselves like it was always like
01:35:54.340 a boom and bust it was like it was part of the the way of being of what that world was and so I
01:36:01.180 had to to to grow out of it just the same in into now reflecting on it and being like oh look how
01:36:08.000 much it shaped me but not allowing that same identity that i created from the era of being
01:36:13.880 a pro skateboarder and being so reckless that that became the way i operated and robin big
01:36:19.480 and fantasy factory like like growing out of that if you will and finding success beyond being
01:36:26.120 reckless is what i needed to do in order to sort of transition as a whole this was a really
01:36:31.840 important show for me like you're talking directly to me right now you understand that yeah because
01:36:36.760 i'm still very much that kid at the skate park ready to flip out on somebody for cutting me off
01:36:40.720 when i want to drop in yeah you know what i'm saying let me just tell you this right now that
01:36:45.220 i didn't figure out life and become truly happy till i was in my 40s you know you still have a
01:36:50.460 year bro yeah so it's like three years like and and and i was peak like vegas for my 37th birthday
01:36:58.460 like jet to vegas like yeah you know like like peak like partying still at that at 37 you know
01:37:06.280 what i'm saying this is crazy i'm so happy for you all you gotta do is is begin to look at it
01:37:14.820 in the future and be thinking about what would truly make me happy and fulfilled and then begin
01:37:20.180 to put the plan in place to start growing towards that.
01:37:24.360 And when you're 47, you're going to be as happy as you can be.
01:37:28.260 That's awesome.
01:37:29.180 Thank you for that, Rob.
01:37:30.500 I appreciate that, man.
01:37:31.520 It's crazy to think, you know,
01:37:32.900 you're talking about being in peak physical health at 55,
01:37:35.400 and it's crazy to think that that's not even half of your life
01:37:38.920 based on your own personal goals.
01:37:40.600 You want to live to be 112.
01:37:41.960 That's correct.
01:37:42.520 I want to live to be 150.
01:37:44.020 And I think I'll be able to do it.
01:37:45.560 I honestly think I'll be able to do it.
01:37:46.980 Why?
01:37:48.100 Peptides and stem cells.
01:37:49.360 Yeah.
01:37:50.060 Are you on stem cells?
01:37:50.980 No, I'm not on stem cells or peptides.
01:37:53.140 Not on either?
01:37:54.160 No.
01:37:54.520 Test?
01:37:55.280 No.
01:37:55.720 NAD Plus?
01:37:56.480 No. 1.00
01:37:57.000 God damn. 1.00
01:37:57.580 This surprises me. 1.00
01:37:58.300 Somadoma?
01:37:58.680 You strike me as a biohacker, not a somadoma.
01:38:01.540 Because of the skin.
01:38:02.120 But I'll tell you, it's like I do do my blood work every year.
01:38:06.480 But I've found.
01:38:07.400 We do it every week.
01:38:08.100 Every quarter I do my blood work.
01:38:10.460 Because I want to make change in it, right?
01:38:13.280 And so my blood-brain barrier, my leaky gut, my testosterone, my cholesterol, all these things I started doing for the first time in 2012.
01:38:26.300 And you can just see how healthier and healthier I've gotten every single year to where I'm like how my body is functioning at a higher level than it was in my 30s, right?
01:38:36.060 In the data of the blood work.
01:38:37.720 And it's only from like essentially reorganizing the relationship between my muscular and skeletal structure and then all the neurology and all the internal organs to where everything's turning on and off the way it should.
01:38:51.660 So it's so efficient that it's like you build up all these compensations in your muscle structure that then put pressure on your organs that then create inflammation and all these different sort of things.
01:39:03.220 So when I say like I'm the quality of my life is elevating then both like from a like mind share perspective and a mental energy, then it's backed by the physical energy that's that's got to this to this level.
01:39:20.660 like it's i can see myself getting healthier and then it's like how do i get to a sustained level
01:39:27.740 of peak health that then i live at uh for the next 50 years to 112 like i really think and i don't
01:39:35.400 know that i'll be able to beat with all the innovation of like sort of all the stuff and
01:39:40.400 longevity that they're in the middle of creating like i don't know if i'm going to be able to to
01:39:45.840 time it to extend it i don't know but what i want to do is build a life in a rhythm to my existence
01:39:53.460 if you will that prepares me to capitalize on it like and test it as i get older to to push the the
01:40:01.760 the potential length of my life and make sure that i can live it at a high quality in a balanced
01:40:07.180 fulfilling way the whole way through you know what i'm saying this dude like compare him to
01:40:11.680 milton right now for example dude caleb can we get a pan to milton he's tired he's had a long
01:40:16.540 night yeah well he's always tired you know and you guys are the same age by the way
01:40:19.660 uh skincare routine quick and then we'll shut it down nothing i don't even do anything fish oil
01:40:26.640 fish oil no the number one thing is filtered water filtered water get a get a joelie uh filtered 1.00
01:40:32.760 shower head because all your chemicals and everything that's going to destroy your skin
01:40:36.380 is in the water not a not a skateboard but uh well this is the last thing yeah we actually
01:40:43.260 would love for you if you would do they always have to do it on the show with i don't know maybe
01:40:48.080 he's got a story about a skateboard yeah no i don't think he does he just wants him to sign
01:40:52.100 it so we can sell it online i i i'm i do want to tell you that another painful thing that existed
01:40:58.540 in my life that was ego based is the alien workshop is the company that i rode for my
01:41:04.440 entire career right this is the alien workshop skateboard god almighty george what what has he
01:41:09.980 done wait wait hold on it comes with a story go ahead okay and so this why are you gonna
01:41:14.460 you about to burn it nervous for you so i'm i was there when i was like 14 years old and helped
01:41:22.340 name pick the name right it was alien workshop based off of project blueprint and uh project
01:41:28.980 blue book and hangar 18 at the wright patterson airport's base and and dayton helped pick the
01:41:34.020 name alien workshop like went on to be pro for it for 20 years it got acquired by burton and then i
01:41:41.420 bought the company from burton right and so it was like every advisor i had was like this thing
01:41:50.460 burns money and this is a hornet's nest this is one of the worst businesses this is not something
01:41:56.080 you could buy and so i'm like i didn't understand business i didn't care it was like i got a tv i'm
01:42:02.400 to elevate the brand and take it to the next level like like went to this big you know zoomies i don't
01:42:08.760 know if you guys ever been to zoomies 100k like big zoomies 100k announced that i'm gonna buy the
01:42:12.740 company back bring it back to the culture and then the entire company imploded and like like literally
01:42:21.780 like went out of business under my management and all the pro skaters quit on me like it like
01:42:29.180 literally I spent like you know two and two million to buy it and like four million to operate it like
01:42:34.360 all this money lost all this money and because I did it out of like I wanted people to be like
01:42:40.880 oh he came and saved the alien workshop and I ended up taking the company and giving it back
01:42:48.060 to the original owners like took the L on everything so that they could just keep it I
01:42:52.900 bought a bunker in ohio to move it back to ohio and gave the company to the original founders
01:42:59.920 so that they could just operate a lean profitable business themselves since they had sold it away
01:43:05.860 already and then that was sort of like shaking my hands of like okay like you're not you are
01:43:12.000 not skate anymore like you are you have evolved beyond it yeah it's like that was and that was
01:43:17.580 the same time as that 360 deal well when i look at this board you know what i think about i think
01:43:22.280 about we're in the stages that you were here yeah so it's kind of cool that you just drop some
01:43:27.560 wisdom on us yeah yeah we we have a segment as of yesterday it was george's idea that we get
01:43:33.560 memorabilia related to each guest and have them sign it yeah if you're okay with signing the
01:43:37.620 skateboard of course i really appreciate sorry what do we do with the stuff now that was the
