00:00:05.460
by my good friend aaron cleary welcome aaron hello hello people how are you today
00:00:11.080
you know a lot of people complained the other day because i had a guest on it before the train wreck
00:00:16.280
that was afraid to have an opinion apparently was what i saw in the comments and today we have
00:00:20.160
a man that has no fear of voicing an opinion who'd you have on that didn't have an opinion
00:00:26.460
uh sean had uh brought on a divorce mediator and uh you know he you know he brought some
00:00:32.520
interesting knowledge to the table but he was just um too in the middle he didn't he didn't want to
00:00:38.600
lean in any direction which is fine but uh yeah sometimes it's hard to have people to voice their
00:00:43.380
opinion now everybody's too afraid as a mediator shouldn't that be his nature to be cut in the
00:00:50.200
middle and understand yeah yeah you know but yeah some some clarifying questions on some topics and
00:00:55.980
you're looking for some clarity but it doesn't always come your way unfortunately no i don't
00:01:00.400
know you ever do these live shows with uh guests i mean you did the one with me and terrence terrence
00:01:04.960
i i would love to but of all people you know there's only 24 hours a day some have to be spent sleeping
00:01:11.720
and i was finishing writing that book you're writing your book we i don't wait when's taxis you guys have
00:01:17.480
taxes on april 15th or is that different when you got to file your taxes uh i think we got pushed
00:01:21.800
back to august but uh you have to make your retirement contribution by is it february no
00:01:29.320
it's march 1st i think it was and uh i think taxes for me were are are due in april but they pushed us
00:01:35.200
back to august so the good old canadian government gave us a little bit of a break so yeah it's the
00:01:41.060
same thing springtime your taxes are due and it's just there's not enough time i would love to have
00:01:45.940
you know a new guest on every every day uh but it's just that your schedule's got to match up and
00:01:51.700
and the other thing uh i am amazed i have to compliment you though this is i have i was just
00:01:57.080
when you first asked me to come on the show this was like six and a half years ago you said what are
00:02:02.440
you doing march 15th whenever we originally set out to have this be done at 8 15 p.m eastern south i don't
00:02:11.180
know what i'm doing tomorrow there rich and i was just very impressed it wasn't that long but i think
00:02:16.140
it was at least two or three months ahead of schedule like dude how do you how much do you
00:02:20.780
have planned out well i well i try to line my guests up so i don't have to skip a week you know
00:02:26.600
because it's because it's an every other week show and i try to get into the routine of doing it on a
00:02:30.180
schedule because everybody kept telling me when i started to kick off with youtube that you need to
00:02:34.900
be consistent with your delivery and around the same time especially if you do a regular show
00:02:39.420
um so i always try to like line up my guests week after week after week sort of thing so i think you
00:02:44.940
were like three weeks out or something around the time it actually had to bump you i had to bump you
00:02:48.580
because there's somebody had to pull in which is kind of important for a certain broadcast but
00:02:51.720
you and i are cool that way but yeah yeah i just it one of the things i like about this career if
00:02:57.900
you can call what we have here a career call it a career this this profession this this thing that
00:03:03.840
shat itself out of the sky like yeah i'll do this sure it's my calling whatever god
00:03:08.880
right i hear you talking to me um i mean you can play it how you're you're much more professional
00:03:14.140
about me but one thing i love is i don't have to be at the office at 8 a.m sharp for the 8 15 you know
00:03:21.500
loan committee meeting it's just like yeah you know and i will call so hey you want to come on like yeah
00:03:27.220
i got nothing going on and so that it's much more carefree so i don't have the the consistency or
00:03:33.240
you know you know tune in same bad time same bad channel i don't do it and and oh i'm sure it cost
00:03:38.640
me something but i i like that freedom and i feel like doing now you know it's like yeah let's do
00:03:44.780
this that's that's a different kind of playing to win model that i that i wanted to kick this uh
00:03:50.180
kick this conversation off with you because that's really what i'm trying to aim to do with these
00:03:53.940
shows let's let's have some conversations about chasing excellence and everybody has their own
00:03:58.480
version of what that looks like and i know you've got yours you know you're an author you're a you're
00:04:03.260
the only belly dancing ballet singing rock climbing uh rocketeering uh yeah i can't wait to take you
00:04:12.760
for a hike when you come to vegas i can't wait we'll go for a hike oh i'll go i'll go man i got
00:04:19.180
some legs on me don't worry you're gonna have to try to keep up with your short little legs my
00:04:22.800
friend it'll be like a wiener dog and a german shepherd hiking yes i'll be taking three steps to your
00:04:28.200
one yes let's do it um yeah so so i kind of kick these off with um you know the question so
00:04:34.300
what is your version of playing to win look like in your life because i see two distinct areas how
00:04:40.040
men can play and you know you can either play to win or you can play not to lose and they sound
00:04:43.780
similar but they're very different what does what does playing to win look like for aaron cleary
00:04:49.060
uh i don't know if it would fit neatly in your dichotomy and i don't qualify for either yeah what i i sat
00:04:57.340
down one time and figured out what is at least in terms of economics what the the goal of every
00:05:04.840
individual or not necessarily every individual but at least for me and what other people would be
00:05:08.580
and that is you want to spend the maximum amount of your uh life doing what you want a certain amount
00:05:18.300
has to go into you know food clothing shelter you have to work you have to support yourself um you
00:05:23.520
gotta get to go get some training you gotta get some hustle you gotta make investments but you know
00:05:28.940
and and not everyone you know if you're born into wealth okay cool if as long as you learn some
00:05:34.000
financial management you don't have to work period but i think that's that was the main thing for me
00:05:38.440
was freedom because we didn't have money growing up uh we were excited to go to kmart or target you know
00:05:45.080
i was because we got to leave the house and that formula was like i don't want to answer to anyone
00:05:49.660
i don't want to you know working uh in banking why i couldn't stand it and i was like no i am sick and
00:05:56.100
tired of watching all my my friends go to disney world when i was a kid or they come back with the
00:06:01.480
latest atari 2600 game not that it was materialism but they just could do what they wanted and and
00:06:07.420
that's kind of and try as i might i originally tried to go the route making money through banking
00:06:12.800
that's what initially gravitated me towards finance and economics like well that makes sense i want to
00:06:17.580
make money so i don't have to work i can have fun for the rest of my life uh which ironically didn't
00:06:24.120
result in in a great career or job but uh it it did teach me about finance economics minimalism
00:06:30.400
budgeting and sent me down a quickly learned path as to how to attain that achieve it through
00:06:36.200
entrepreneurship minimalism stuff like that so philosophically um winning in me to me is i'm
00:06:44.320
answering to no one i generate multiple streams of income through uh diversify not a ton of clients
00:06:52.780
but but enough that and i don't lose my main customer and the factory goes out of business
00:06:57.200
and then i'm doing what i want for the maximum amount that it was theoretically or possible for
00:07:04.320
someone from your situation uh to to spend their life so that that's pretty much it's it's the i'm not
00:07:09.500
necessarily the money uh but the time that's really what's important to me like so when i wake up
00:07:14.420
yeah i gotta do my chores and yeah i gotta do this but you know the 10 of the 16 hour waking days is
00:07:22.200
doing what i want to do so that's are you are you in vegas right now are you up north no no i'm in
00:07:26.660
minneapolis okay um i don't think i ever asked you but why did you why did you leave banking like
00:07:32.200
what happened uh it was the financial crisis the build up to it uh what i right before i left
00:07:38.920
what's that 2007 8 2006 okay um because my first book i published in early 2007 which one was that
00:07:48.920
uh behind the housing crisis or behind the housing crash and that i published the day lehman brothers
00:07:55.640
filed for bankruptcy so i knew this was coming and was writing it up to the build-up um and my job
00:08:02.080
back then was a credit analyst and i would underwrite and analyze the loans and these loans were
00:08:07.080
were garbage they were just garbage and so i take the numbers i'm like this is i don't know if any
00:08:13.200
of you have seen the uh uh the the big short the kind of the numbers guy there that was played by um
00:08:19.200
the guy who played batman i forget his name but whatever i was the numbers guy man there's always
00:08:24.160
a new one every year well christian bale christian bale's character he played some phd in math
00:08:29.420
or something like that he he was crunching the numbers on the investments i was crunching numbers
00:08:33.280
on loans i was like these are not going to get paid back and that ran me right in uh heads with
00:08:41.220
the uh management of the different banks i worked at and it basically got to the point where they'd
00:08:47.380
want me to fabricate figures which by the way is illegal um just so that you could get the ratios
00:08:52.660
are they well let's take his last year's tax returns like no no no we could we get this year's
00:08:57.280
tax returns uh so that that's why and i couldn't do it anymore because it was impossible they say
00:09:02.300
analyze this loan and it's math it's it's not an opinion piece it's math and i'd analyze the loan
00:09:08.480
and then i'd write up the report like i don't know if you did this correctly it's like yeah i i've done
00:09:12.720
this for quite some time i did it correctly well you're not a team player and just oh so it and then
00:09:17.240
have i remember i just quit i couldn't take it anymore and then uh sure enough the crash happened
00:09:21.640
and and that's coincidentally how i'm here because that was the first that is what prompted me to
00:09:26.420
write the book kind of sent me down this alternative career path uh but that's why i got out of banking
00:09:31.620
it's just i couldn't i couldn't lie that was what it boiled down to i couldn't just like start making
00:09:36.340
up numbers uh putting them in reports when did you write bachelor pad economics because that was
00:09:42.460
my first introduction to the manosphere this this this gay night plug that is now the called the
00:09:49.860
manosphere i got uh when was the birth of 2013 2013 is that the only one that you've uh committed to
00:10:00.620
audible no most of mine are on audible but the only one that isn't is the black man's got out of poverty
00:10:06.880
uh because it just isn't the volume of sales to warrant making the money back and then also my
00:10:13.180
i've got enjoy the decline curse of the high iq poor richard's retirement
00:10:18.160
richard cooper poor richard's retirement is this a book it was benjamin franklin uh poor richard's
00:10:25.820
almanac that's why benjamin franklin's picture is on he was bald too though okay well it's a handsome
00:10:31.480
look i'm not too sure about the fluff or the scraps he's holding on to on the side and you got
00:10:35.860
worthless so i've i've read batch bachelor pad economics sorry i listened to it so which one
00:10:41.980
should i grab next off this list what's your recommendation for you yeah um because you're
00:10:46.860
so versed in the red pill i don't think there's much that would you wouldn't know but i would
00:10:53.240
take a curse of the high iq i think that would be one uh a little bit different a little bit out of
00:10:58.820
the standard genre you're looking for but still credits here so i might as well throw a credit at
00:11:04.200
this you know we'll have a listen there's nothing to do with this corona covid stuff going on now
00:11:08.360
anyway uh i should probably finish writing my book rather than listening to yours though right
00:11:14.000
yeah probably should because it generates income once you get that done man it's a it's a it's a
00:11:20.560
perpetually generating uh asset it's a it pays a little bit of a dividend every month especially
00:11:25.900
with your following i wrote a couple books like seven years ago on on debt and i don't know it it
00:11:33.260
throws like 20 to 40 bucks a month at me it's not much i don't know uh like i'm not doing this for
00:11:41.000
the money i mean if it makes money great but i just kind of wanted to still all the ideas in one place
00:11:44.840
so so it's at least a piece of paper or stack of papers people can have you know if i get blown up
00:11:50.180
tomorrow i get taken out by a covid19-1731 belly dancing squad of zombies you never know what's
00:11:58.080
gonna happen out there man no no um there's a super chat here let's just throw it up quick and
00:12:04.760
acknowledge uh kid max's read aaron's new book great book what's your newest book uh well it's
00:12:10.500
it's technically not my book i wrote the original version of it and it's about 90 percent originally
00:12:15.760
mine but then i sold it to a guy called vince barrack oh the he edited it made changes put his own kind
00:12:20.940
a little spin on it i've read through the new version it's and for those of you who want to
00:12:25.600
read cappy it's it's me cappy 101 yeah cappy well this is advanced cappy this is dark and that's one
00:12:32.780
of the reasons i sold it is this is the darkest thing i've ever written because what i was forced
00:12:37.180
to conclude was just just horrible it's just horrible yeah i mean it's like looking into the
00:12:44.400
abyss i'm like oh and it's also so scathing and so accurate and it cuts so precisely i think the
00:12:51.140
exact people it needs to that i was forecasting a backlash and um i was kind of like i like well we
00:12:57.240
kind of talked about this a little bit but i like i like having my uh the life i got i don't i don't
00:13:02.880
need to be on fox news or anything like that uh thankfully that backlash hasn't came it's it's it's
00:13:07.840
selling all right uh yeah but the the the new book is called how not to become a millennial
00:13:12.560
um and that's exactly what it is we have a we have something that's very instructional in front
00:13:18.320
of us an entire generation that failed and it just pulls the lessons to learn uh from those mistakes
00:13:24.420
that we made as a society and as a as a generation but um that's who it's under vince barrack if you're
00:13:31.680
a gen z-er that's that's originally for it's who it's for because they have a future um and it's also a
00:13:38.520
a big uh criticism uh there it is there if you guys want to grab it big editorial on uh on society
00:13:46.800
if you liked any of my other books i mean you'll like this too but i it's uh it's i'll just want you
00:13:53.600
read one chapter at a time don't don't read it at night don't read it when it's cloudy out
00:13:58.240
don't read it after you're depressed you know go for a run get the endorphins going then read one
00:14:03.440
chapter but it's it's again the darkest thing i've ever written um msp what is that minneapolis
00:14:10.440
saint paul oh got it okay so you're in the same area as amos yep um all right let's pull that down
00:14:16.780
thanks for the super chat guys appreciate them uh oh you have a ask here on u.s election predictions
00:14:22.540
what do you think's happening this fall i mean you got looks like sleepy joe biden is yeah the guy's
00:14:27.680
nickname like he's the guy that trump's gonna run up against yeah i don't know um the guy doesn't even
00:14:32.900
look like he knows where he's at half the time when he's talking you know that's really the best
00:14:36.940
they can do no it's not the best i i the democrat party it shows you they're corrupt because you know
00:14:45.340
in the irony their name is democrat meaning everyone should have a vote well except they're the ones with
00:14:49.700
superdelegates within their party and bernie should have won the nomination the last time it looks like
00:14:56.280
joe's gonna win it this time but the democrat party this time they had not the people i'd agree
00:15:02.760
with politically but they had some people that i think could have beat trump like tulsi gabbard
00:15:06.860
uh pete buttrig or booter egg uh i wasn't but these were younger non-establishment candidates now we
00:15:14.460
got two guys over 80 who's been in the democrat party before either of us were born i mean these guys
00:15:19.540
were politicians before we were born and now i think trump will probably win it no guarantee but um
00:15:26.660
biden just he you know everybody on the other uh other team wants oh look he's lost it but no he
00:15:33.080
sums off man i i don't i think trump is going to chew him up and spit him out yeah he's i don't know
00:15:39.500
man i've i've watched a couple of short clips and sound bites and granted you know they only chop up
00:15:45.080
like the worst of what he's got to say but it's not very impressive i mean even even justin trudeau does
00:15:50.540
better as a speaker than that guy i gotta be honest no well i'm i'm not for like oh you're old you can't
00:15:56.180
run but you gotta be healthy well you gotta know where you are at least yeah yeah you can't be
00:16:04.080
smelling people's hair all the time i mean i and and even though trump is old i think because he's got a
00:16:11.880
hot relatively young wife that keeps him young and fresh and he's happy to get up in the morning
00:16:17.300
because he's got this babe on his arm and you know people can hate on a lot melania all they want
00:16:23.100
but it's like you know that kind of gives a guy a muse it gets him up in the morning and you know i
00:16:28.680
think his his synapses are firing a little bit better because the guy's got a little testosterone
00:16:33.340
in him but you know biden gee i'm burning oh they should they should honestly run testosterone tests on
00:16:40.640
these leaders if you don't have acceptable levels you can't run for office here you know you got to go
00:16:45.020
back to the gym or something and start doing some deadlifts what would finland do they'd have no one
00:16:49.660
yeah well there you go they'd only have a parliament that's all they'd have there you go
00:16:53.380
there's your prerequisite right there it deals with that real quick uh somebody said they plan on
00:16:58.440
putting hillary and michelle obama in place of biden bernie i don't know what the hell's going on
00:17:03.940
with that but it's you guys are in a bit of a mess right now yeah i think he'll he'll probably
00:17:08.820
choose a younger running mate uh i don't know how you could choose an older running mate but
00:17:13.220
he'll find a younger i presume female or minority something to obviously get that vote um but i mean
00:17:20.720
if he's smart i think he'd go with tulsi gabbard or somebody that was born after world war ii
00:17:27.060
i mean anyone it's just it's just not even politics it's like we just go away like what's that maybe
00:17:35.960
ask for somebody that was born after the korean war yeah could you could you get someone just
00:17:43.620
oh god um so what's your take on covid 19 coronavirus what's what's the captain capitalism
00:17:52.580
uh theory on what's going on right now here with this i want to hear your well the the the problem
00:17:59.700
is and and as well as you know you can't know what to trust anymore this is anything uh a a damning
00:18:06.920
testimony against government and media because they've been fanaticizing and making everything
00:18:13.700
clickbait for so long you don't know what's real what's not anymore and so what i do is i go by the
00:18:19.660
numbers and even then you don't know uh the numbers i mean i know this is going to sound very harsh and
00:18:24.780
callous but this is me it really does seem to be affecting only old people um based on my age group
00:18:31.900
there's a 0.6 chance that if i get it i'll die 0.6 six tenths of one percent uh every chart is going
00:18:40.360
like this so it could be spreading and you know the the numbers are the numbers and uh you know uh
00:18:45.380
i i don't doubt those and i think the is it the cdc maybe it's the world health organization has some
00:18:51.800
really good graphics updated charts and data so i go there because am i right this is about as
00:18:56.120
authoritative as it gets but unless i start seeing some bodies in the streets and ambulances going
00:19:02.140
down and helicopters in the sky i think we've blown this way out of proportion um again i'm not i'm not
00:19:09.660
at a hospital i don't know what's going on but as the numbers are starting to come in i'm like okay is
00:19:14.200
this really just a bad flu and uh but that doesn't correspond to what i see with government shutting
00:19:21.420
everything down and i i'd like to have faith in the government say wow they know something better
00:19:25.900
than me but all the data i keep seeing doesn't indicate that this is anything worse than a flu
00:19:31.840
uh so i'm i'm playing it easy i don't you know i don't have a choice i can't go to the gym i can't
00:19:37.280
go to restaurants everything's closed are you laying low right now like you're quarantining yourself
00:19:41.500
yeah yeah i do but gosh you gotta get out so i went and hung out with the nieces don't care oh the
00:19:48.360
little kids are carriers they're practically little zombies that'll kill you if you look at them
00:19:52.460
don't don't care i want to say hi to my nieces and uh use them as weights because you can't go to
00:19:57.340
the gym um i i'll get food uh at the gro at the grocery store restaurants uh but you you can only
00:20:05.400
get to go um and uh you know trying to like eat the food now not going to my reserves in case oh wow it
00:20:13.000
really is bad but i'm not losing sleep over it um time will tell i bought a lot of stock
00:20:19.720
i i bought a lot of stock that's what i had oh you're buying already oh yeah i bought i uh rich
00:20:25.860
i i should have been more patient oh let's talk about that because every once in a while like
00:20:30.240
every every couple hours and getting a message from somebody going talk about stocks you know
00:20:34.240
what do you think's a good buy and the funny thing is when you talk about it somebody's like
00:20:37.120
stay in your lane you're talking about the wrong thing you can't make anybody happy these days
00:20:40.560
here's here i'm gonna you want to know the truth about stocks well let's well let's hear it from
00:20:45.740
the banker you know you're looking at credit facilities so let's nobody knows nobody knows
00:20:51.400
i don't care if you go to the central bank or goldman sachs and you get the world's greatest
00:20:56.720
economist nobody knows because you're trying to predict the future and so when people ask i think
00:21:02.800
they're i'm surprised you're buying so soon though because i think we're well that's where i that's
00:21:06.560
where i was oh rich i saw blood in the streets and it was enough for me and then i and then it went
00:21:11.380
down even more i was like oh but just but here's here's the thing you can't time the market all you
00:21:17.900
can do is know that hey prices went down and what what i try to liken it to is is like uh you want
00:21:25.300
to buy a burger cheap as possible and so you go look around at different bars and you show oh and
00:21:31.660
it's happy hour at this bar and you get a burger for five bucks and normally that burger would cost 10 or
00:21:37.460
11 while you got a great deal you got a great deal nobody gets pissed off then when they find
00:21:42.380
out that the next bar down the road has burger tuesdays where you can get it for three what you
00:21:47.500
should be happy about is that stocks are are 30 percent cheaper than they were a month ago or two
00:21:54.480
months ago that's really you know pants went on sale your favorite video game went from 60 bucks
00:21:59.860
uh down to 40 bucks and so that you know i bought about halfway through that i think so let's go
00:22:09.460
so i just want to use a little bit of my reasoning here yeah you know i'm not the ballet dancing world
00:22:14.780
beating economist rock there can only be one there can only be one you know i can only be a couple
00:22:19.000
things but uh let's go back to 2008 9 or the hell so i'm just using the dow for argument of purposes
00:22:27.180
just to keep this simple for the people around the world uh why doesn't this go any there we go
00:22:32.740
well come on chart work with me here there we go right so 2007 8 right that was sitting at 13 5
00:22:43.360
what did it get up to where's the peak 14 call it 14 low on that was seven and change so about half
00:22:51.140
so basically half right right we got a peak here around 28 and change probably 29 let's just call
00:22:58.560
it 28 so what's half 28 14 000 that's what i'm going with i'm looking for buying opportunities
00:23:04.520
under 16 right now and you could and you could do that my cash right now yeah what what i would do
00:23:10.980
and this is what i should have done but i i uh you know it's kind of one of those things where it's
00:23:14.780
like i don't want to be watching the news every day either uh do dollar cost averaging you know
00:23:19.480
buy 2000 here 2000 there 2000 there because who knows tomorrow they could say hey uh someone came
00:23:26.780
out with a a cure uh for coronavirus and we don't have to go through with all this stuff and then
00:23:33.760
your opportunity to buy was gone so you know i'm not i can't give advice i can't tell people when or
00:23:39.800
when not to buy i can tell you it's 30 cheaper now and that if it does go up because something
00:23:46.060
happened they discovered something and oh no we're all okay that's gonna jump real quick and
00:23:51.160
then you're gonna be there 30 years from i could have bought back in 2020 but i didn't you'd all be
00:23:58.140
retired but your grandpappy richard didn't do so so i you know dollar cost average into it if you want
00:24:05.620
what are the industries that you're looking at i don't look at industries index just do index
00:24:10.980
you do indexes which one are you looking at the sap 500 uh and i don't know maybe we should
00:24:16.640
explain index investing a little bit yeah explain to the people yeah because this is very simple
00:24:20.580
very simple there's actively managed mutual funds and then there's just non-active or passive or
00:24:28.120
index funds so you're gonna throw this up on the screen just to give you a little visual right so
00:24:33.320
here's the sap 500 index and all this is an index is just a measuring tool put together by different
00:24:38.700
banks a different wall street or you know finance companies in different countries to measure how
00:24:43.140
the overall market's going to do the sap 500 for example is just the 500 largest stocks in the united
00:24:48.740
states what they found over time is that if you just invest in the index you will be anywhere between
00:24:56.200
85 to 90 percent of the investment professionals and you say well why what does that have to do with
00:25:04.060
and that's the difference between an index and an actively managed fund an actively managed fund
00:25:08.380
is you're paying somebody to choose a group of stocks to form their own mutual fund to form their
00:25:14.160
own index they think is going to do better than the index and this is one of the reasons nobody should
00:25:19.360
even be listening to financial advisors anymore 85 percent of these people go get their masters or the
00:25:25.060
phds fail they fail you without any education investing in the index no no guarantee going future
00:25:33.460
but if history is any indication you being fresh off the boat could go ahead and invest in the index
00:25:40.680
and there's a very very very good chance you're going to beat the professionals at this now there's
00:25:45.560
some people like warren buffett and others who have a good track record of being the index you can invest
00:25:49.640
in their funds if you'd like but me i go index funds because my focus on time i don't have time in my
00:25:56.380
olden days i would pour over financial statements look at companies try to find data no one else found
00:26:02.580
and sometimes was successful but you're talking days and weeks of pouring over the most my number
00:26:10.880
you know what life's too short index fund they take a much smaller percentage some of the actively
00:26:16.500
managed funds take up to five percent your your net assets every year i like oh that's that's that's
00:26:23.580
steep uh that's what i do i just there's not just the sap 500 if you're younger um you could go
00:26:32.120
ahead and like if you go through a company like betterment or um not i think it's robin hood
00:26:36.720
there's there's these um robo investors that all they do is invest in indices they don't invest in
00:26:43.660
individual stocks so this one here automated on betterment all ai yeah yeah betterment is the one
00:26:49.280
that i use i'm not endorsing them i'm just saying this the one i'm happy with them though and they
00:26:53.500
throw me into a portfolio of indices based on my age so i got a little bit of international global
00:26:59.680
portfolio a high risk index i got a fair mod the s&p 500 because i'm middle age and i got up i think
00:27:06.640
it's the not barclays the yeah barclays bond index i think i got some in a long-term bond but they
00:27:12.760
they do it all for you and you know unless it's a hobby unless you really enjoy finance and reading
00:27:19.100
through income statements reading the wall street journal and realizing all the aids on cnbc really
00:27:23.340
don't know what they're talking about um it's not worth your time throw the money in a diversified
00:27:29.060
portfolio of indices it's going to go up it's going to go down it's going to go down it's going to go up
00:27:33.580
and just sit and let it be and there's no guarantees on that but you free up your time
00:27:39.920
your your costs for managing the fund not only in terms of explicit financial outlays you got to
00:27:46.540
pay to better mentor a company like that but your time you guys have the option to do a self-directed
00:27:51.580
retirement um yeah yeah well okay we have we have like a whole suite of different like you've got a
00:27:57.560
401k and ira you guys got the rsp right yeah and that's and that's rsp and tfsa okay and uh one of
00:28:05.380
them is where you're with a company the other is where you're not with a company or your company
00:28:08.800
doesn't offer one well either way you get a tax benefit for your company too yeah yeah so uh i'm
00:28:14.620
unique because i have uh my own company so i have a sep ira but without going into boring details
00:28:20.520
yeah you you go through a company they'll say do you want a an ira or an rsp yes you do because
00:28:28.160
you get tax benefits and and that's where mostly you should uh invest the money uh if you have it
00:28:34.980
and you're looking to invest that's that's what i'd recommend what's your view on uh housing in
00:28:39.620
the real estate market i it's based on price to rents and it's all re it's all local like vancouver
00:28:46.000
is probably insane uh but it always has been uh compared to say calgary after the oil boom that was
00:28:53.260
a great buy um but it's hard to say nationwide because real estate is so local that's not an exact
00:29:01.480
transferable commodity it's not like a share of ibm here is the exact same as a share of ibm there
00:29:06.080
um but i'd have to look at the the data again it's not as bubbly as it was in 2006 2007 we're nowhere
00:29:14.980
near that i i pulled up like national price to rents which is kind of like a price to earnings ratio
00:29:19.820
it's it's over the historical average but by like 15 to 20 percent is it bubbly yes is it going to be
00:29:31.020
a crash like uh 2007 it could be i mean something horrible could happen but the thing with real
00:29:36.920
estate is people got to live somewhere um it's not like the the house goes bankrupt it's still an
00:29:43.900
asset it's still a house it could still be rented out also when i look at month's supply
00:29:49.780
that's another thing people didn't look at depending on what town or region you're in
00:29:54.720
the realtors association will should they should not always but they should put together statistics
00:30:01.080
one of which is month's supply so if we stop building houses how long would it take to sell out
00:30:06.660
of the current supply of housing we got and it's tight it's like two to three months still
00:30:11.580
in some places um but when whereas before the housing crisis one thing i remember mcmansions were
00:30:19.320
like at a 1.8 year supply and no we don't need to make any more stop being you're not a team
00:30:26.120
player shut up clary it's like all right never mind what's a mcmansion if you can define that
00:30:30.700
because that's a unique term that i've only ever heard you use really you've never heard the word
00:30:35.280
mcmansion i don't the first time i heard mcmansion was when i grabbed bachelor pad economics oh
00:30:41.580
okay well yeah this is this is basically when you buy way more house than you need right and
00:30:47.480
the mcmansion is like mcdonald's they would bang these things out like an assembly line so this
00:30:51.760
wasn't an actual mansion that was you know custom built and custom made and you had the money like
00:30:57.560
you had the cash this was made for the double income couple who would borrow and lease everything
00:31:04.300
uh they would have no money uh by the time they paid for their car payments their insurance their
00:31:12.840
student loans and their house and so you get a five bedroom four bathroom house for a family of
00:31:18.720
three you know so that you lived in this neighborhood i don't know how school districts work
00:31:23.000
over in um in canada but here one of the primary determining factors is how good the school district
00:31:29.320
is so people will literally you go wyzetta which is a town here in the suburbs in the twin cities
00:31:35.980
that's quote the best school district in the state i think certainly the region and across
00:31:41.920
on the border of the road across is plymouth it was i think 75 000 difference between the same house
00:31:49.680
across the street because your kids would go to plymouth perfectly fine school but if you were on
00:31:55.500
that side of the street you went to wyzetta and so soccer moms even though their kids are morons and
00:32:01.500
they themselves are morons and your kid you could throw the kid into the harvard they're going to
00:32:05.640
still come out a moron they would pay an extra 70 50 100 grand to live in wyzese uh to do that but
00:32:12.940
yeah mcmansion is just a you know the property brothers they're from your country right yeah okay when
00:32:19.060
they go in and the budget is 750 000 like how the hell they get that money that's kind of a mcmansion
00:32:26.500
and it ain't got no kids so that's that's what that is got it uh jacob says for stocks i'm buying
00:32:32.440
shares little by little each day so if things reverse i have stocks purchased rather than waiting
00:32:36.860
and risking missing the curve dollar cost averaging basically yeah uh there's one here from
00:32:43.660
uh i don't know what an acorn is uh christian said uh what's your opinion on acorns what is that
00:32:49.360
acorns hang on let me double check i think acorn investing is where
00:32:53.880
is that an american term for something yeah it's no it's a company acorn investing acorns is investing
00:33:00.300
apps that let people automatically round up spare change yeah that's what i want to double check make
00:33:04.640
sure so you get the app uh you tie it to your credit card and you go to the gas station and you buy
00:33:11.380
12.43 and then with acorn you can round up the 57 cents to your ira your 401k so so it charges your
00:33:21.940
credit card and then puts the difference in your investment savings right right and that's cute
00:33:27.980
man they just keep inventing new ways to to to get to get money charged through the fee processing
00:33:35.300
system don't they yeah but i guess it's better than not investing at all but you're right yeah
00:33:40.320
at the end of the day yeah but if you're if your strategy your grand strategy is like well
00:33:44.340
75 cents every two days will go to my account like yeah you know what um you're still not going to have
00:33:51.020
enough money you have to be throwing in i mean the younger the better the younger i'm talking starting
00:33:57.120
at 18 you start throwing in 50 a month into a into a mutual fund or an ira in an ira or 401k that's
00:34:04.760
gonna help but if you're like the average person you're going to school you have debt you don't have a
00:34:09.140
lot of money left oh you could always find money for beer and whatnot rounding up 35 cents is not
00:34:14.100
going to to do it you need to be stocking away 100 200 500 ideally every month um and and doing
00:34:22.640
that through a cute little app you know this is like the girl who says well instead of four cookies
00:34:26.820
i'm going to have three and i took the stairs one flight up and it's like no that is not that is
00:34:34.480
i parked the car on the other side of the parking lot no that is not running six miles
00:34:39.060
guys uh by the way if you're watching this on other platforms like facebook or twitter or periscope
00:34:44.500
head over to youtube because um i only monitor the comments off the youtube stuff so if you want to hop
00:34:49.480
in and chime in or ask questions just uh do that it just it just makes it easier for me to curate
00:34:53.520
everything um man we could talk for hours i could i could shoot the breeze with you forever um you know
00:35:00.620
what i came across today was an electric harley davidson motorcycle have you ever heard about
00:35:04.980
yeah yeah yeah you're not what do you want to know about it you're not going to give up the gas
00:35:12.600
bikes anytime soon are you no well have you ever been to sturges black hills area no but they have a
00:35:18.600
big rally um actually stop yeah okay i've been to the stop okay yeah so one other thing i wanted to
00:35:26.160
throw at you too since we're talking about stocks and electricity and gas and all that uh people are
00:35:31.220
still buying up tesla and it's beyond me the amount of money that's that's being thrown at tesla a
00:35:38.480
company that makes no money you know realistically and an economy where gas is really cheap beyond cheap
00:35:46.180
and we haven't seen this cheap in ages i mean it's not going to save this though for a long time but
00:35:49.320
these these prices are here for now i don't see a a long-term future for tesla what do you think about
00:35:56.100
that it it will stay it will stay floating as long as they keep getting infusions of cash
00:36:04.100
and if people still where is it going to come from if the government's so busy with this covid and
00:36:09.160
the the government could fail to stop giving elon musk money that could happen
00:36:13.460
um but it's the same thing i think with uh non-profits people will invest if they believe
00:36:20.380
in it and i think a lot of your money is coming from charitable people who uh uh either sincerely
00:36:27.800
or through virtue signaling want to believe or want to help out the environment uh so they'll invest in
00:36:34.760
green technologies and tesla is the foremost of that they're and not irrationally so because it's
00:36:40.640
like look here's an electric car people understand that they can see they say well we can take this
00:36:45.500
microbe and it'll chew away a plastic and people won't understand that and it's not sexy so as long
00:36:51.960
as people want to invest in tesla almost as a charity investment like you're gambling you're throwing your
00:36:58.100
money away yeah and and it will it'll employ people they'll make electric cars i feel like it's one
00:37:03.960
part charity and one part virtue signaling yeah and so when the rich guy gets his you know his tesla
00:37:09.600
oh i got a tesla and i see him a lot in vegas um there's a prestige they think that comes with it
00:37:16.860
they oh look at me i'm good for the environment like yeah okay but yeah as long as you keep throwing
00:37:22.460
money i mean amazon i think was not profitable for the first 18 years of its existence but people
00:37:29.860
like the idea they kept throwing it money and then it did turn a profit yeah so um yeah i you know if
00:37:36.620
it's other people's money i don't care just don't have the government bail it out i don't want
00:37:40.340
government guarantees but uh yeah i'm not i'm not a big fan of these government bailouts that keep
00:37:45.520
happening i don't i don't see them stopping anytime soon i don't know trump will or not but he seems to
00:37:49.760
have an issue with uh stock stock buybacks um companies are doing that with government bailout money
00:37:54.960
what did you give it to him yeah uh let me see here i got a couple super chats uh doula says your
00:38:04.720
opinion on defined risk option strategies you have a view on that not not really i options trading is
00:38:11.800
investing in options i never really got dealt into much i do know this with options uh options the
00:38:17.660
original intention was to lower risk originally in uh agriculture i believe where farmer brown would
00:38:24.040
spend all year plowing fields for potatoes uh then he'd go to market and find out that there was
00:38:29.260
everyone planted potatoes and he lost money so what options did is you could buy it from insurance
00:38:35.260
company or a finance firm and say look you're going to guarantee me five dollars a bundle for potatoes
00:38:41.520
and then he'd have this contract it's insurance policy basically and and then um if also in the market
00:38:47.120
price of potatoes was four he's like oh i got this contract and he could force the finance company that
00:38:52.200
wrote that contract that option to pay him four dollars per bundle for potatoes now what ended
00:38:57.700
up happening is people started trading the options themselves because they have a market value too
00:39:02.800
they're a financial security and it's very very risky because the option is is uh not a share of
00:39:09.320
stock it's it's a basically a bet on what will happen to a share of stock will happen to the price of a
00:39:14.180
commodity so the swings can be very wild which makes them attractive for people who are high risk
00:39:19.280
investors and then there's ways through math and finance and uh uh hedging and saddling you could
00:39:26.220
buy an option you could buy a counter option you can buy the underlying you could short the underlying
00:39:30.560
as so but that's where my knowledge of it uh uh i don't know how to do that i do know most people
00:39:38.140
lose money trading options it's like the guy saying hey let me tell you how to flip houses it's like
00:39:43.420
why aren't you flipping houses why are you telling me how to if it's so profitable why are you wasting
00:39:49.040
your time to it's the same thing let me tell you my options trading trading strategy it's like why
00:39:53.740
are you trading options like if i had a way to arbitrage off the the stock market the options
00:39:59.760
market the hell if i tell anyone so you you know if if if someone's offering you a class on options
00:40:05.520
trading that trading platform doesn't work because you'd be insane it's like hey i found the gold and
00:40:13.220
it's over here you that's literally what they're saying you would not tell anyone that so it's it's people
00:40:18.100
who probably don't make money on options trading selling you how to trade options i want to ask
00:40:22.520
you about metals after this uh super chat from troy says cash debt ratio for t what's tsl a i think
00:40:29.280
that's the ticker symbol for uh tesla yeah okay so let's so cash debt ratio for tesla is best for
00:40:34.640
the auto industry which is crap to begin with anyway so it's like investing in the airline industry i mean
00:40:39.580
you probably make some money off the airline industry if you get in at the low point uh because
00:40:44.020
it's really got nowhere to go up once it once it bounces off the bottom a couple times but
00:40:47.780
yeah tsl a is definitely tesla yeah i'm looking at the i'm pulling at google it all over the place
00:40:53.880
i'm trying oh here we go financials all right here's the financials compare it to gm just as a
00:40:58.860
comparison or like ford i don't know if i could pull it up google's being that's the income statement
00:41:04.960
where's the balance sheet it it's not worth it it's not even worth looking i'd have to i'd have to look
00:41:11.120
it up and the prom i mean i looked at it yesterday it's got a negative pe it's not a good one yeah
00:41:15.760
it's losing money it's like saying hey do you want a big pile of constipation or you want a big pile of
00:41:22.320
diarrhea it's still the same stuff it's garbage um what's your opinion on metals there's a lot of
00:41:29.800
people uh going on these days about silver and gold and silver is better than gold and the ratio of silver
00:41:34.920
to gold and silver silver i have a buddy i have a buddy who wrote a book called trade the ratio
00:41:41.460
and it was specifically on that but it was once again it's arbitrage it's you're looking at charts
00:41:48.580
and graphs and and if you're interested it was he had a good interesting um and he proved it
00:41:53.780
philosophically like like here if you want to trade the ratio anytime it goes above this buy gold anytime
00:41:57.860
it goes about this buy silver so he was right in that one regard but um even the word investing
00:42:03.360
in precious metals that's wrong you do not invest an investment pays you back a dividend
00:42:08.320
over the course of the time i bought a 10 million dollar sports bar it generates a million in income
00:42:13.080
every year 10 years i got my original investment back and now i have a perpetuity of a million dollars
00:42:18.180
per year for the rest of my life gold and silver don't poop out little pieces of gold and silver and
00:42:24.160
then they grow to become big pieces of gold and it just is gold and silver and so what they are is
00:42:28.960
really more just a uh an insurance a hedge against hyperinflation and a collapsing economy
00:42:34.000
um i always recommend people have 200 ounces of silver because if the economy collapses gold is
00:42:38.840
going to be too valuable i'd even recommend some junk silver uh if you go back uh in like the 40s and
00:42:44.900
30s or before that there was actual real silver in most uh countries currency the silver colored currency
00:42:51.100
um but you're not like you're not buying silver saying i hope it goes up to 50 and i mean yeah okay
00:42:58.120
it's nice if it does but you you hope it doesn't because if silver is going up to 50 an ounce
00:43:04.740
your electricity likely isn't turned on um there are bodies in the streets it's not good if you're relying
00:43:12.620
on your silver so um it's it's a part of every portfolio i'd say but no more than 200 ounces which is
00:43:20.260
i think three thousand dollars now maybe twenty eight hundred like twelve thirteen bucks an ounce
00:43:26.740
not not much that's per person you know so you got a family um but it's it's the same thing with
00:43:31.640
cryptocurrency a lot of people uh for whatever your opinion about it uh i think it's a great hedge
00:43:36.700
i wouldn't invest or speculate on it you know like try to trade in and out of it but uh and prices are
00:43:43.380
still pretty high uh but i think everybody's showing a little bit of cryptocurrency not a lot but a
00:43:48.540
couple grand worth so yeah uh crypto has been interesting because my you know my initial
00:43:54.520
thought on it was it's like digital gold because that's what i've been hearing for years but clearly
00:43:58.860
when the market goes down it went down a lot more than gold did so it's clearly not digital gold now
00:44:03.780
but today it had a nice rally and i don't know uh we'll see what happens it's uh i still have my
00:44:10.460
bitcoin i'll probably buy some more you know if it goes down a little bit more but uh yeah i think
00:44:15.560
it's a nice hedge got a bunch of super chats that came in here here's your favorite one aaron
00:44:19.640
he follows you like herpes how do you get that uh well i uh nowadays you just pay for it honestly
00:44:29.620

00:44:47.000
england down the bruntingthorpe airstrip to 204 miles an hour and they are fast when you smash
00:44:54.120
a hybrid motor to a big v12 or v10 they're fun um what's that electric car um it's got like 2 000
00:45:04.080
horsepower what the hell is it called um isn't that a tesla or is that no no no no it's um it's like a
00:45:10.220
hyper car the dude's from uh croatia uh what the hell is it called i can't remember it for life
00:45:14.920
me right now but it's it's incredibly fast i gotta rip your face off basically it accelerates so fast
00:45:20.360
but uh me like i like the mechanical symphony of you know gas being you know burn suck squish bang you

want the highest percentage of the time that's that's it don't die have fun don't die have yeah
00:46:55.660
i mean stay healthy too but no right now the most immediate one is building my house in south dakota
00:47:01.140
i sold my place in the twin cities and now we're we're building it out there uh move out there spend
00:47:07.880
winters in in vegas never see snow again and i that's about it i want to go hike i want to go look
00:47:14.000
for agates i want to shoot guns i want to ride my motorcycle i want to golf in vegas i want to hike
00:47:19.380
what's in what's in south dakota like why would you build a house here uh it's not i'm surprised
00:47:25.840
many people know about or don't know about this but the far far far west corner of south dakota is
00:47:32.900
called the black hills it's not a huge mountain range not like the rockies or anything but it's it's
00:47:37.240
nice um but that's where the black hills are mount rushmore is the sturgis rally is and i just love
00:47:43.860
the place um it's very pretty it may not be as pretty as say yellowstone or jasper or bamf but it's
00:47:50.140
very pretty wonderful motorcycle riding but then they got a ton of fossils like geologically there's a ton
00:47:56.260
of stuff out there i found a brontosteer i found oridonts i found a clam this big um they also have
00:48:04.480
these agates i think they even have like uh garnets and it's just a little hot you can just
00:48:10.860
go out in the middle of nowhere this is what we're looking at the black yeah that's where you look at
00:48:15.400
yep that's the black hills and right next to it also do an image search of badlands national park
00:48:20.980
badlands is in alberta isn't it uh you also have badland formations in alberta but the badlands
00:48:26.580
national park in south dakota yeah there you go that's uh that's it there and so it's just a
00:48:34.060
wonderful magical place i love riding around and hiking and um what are the roads like over there
00:48:40.380
they're nice and twisty i'm guessing with yeah once you get in the hills they are yeah otherwise
00:48:44.560
yeah the rest of south dakota is just flat and straight like saskatchewan or north dakota there's
00:48:50.020
it's very boring um but that's where i want to build my house there's a picture of you right there
00:48:55.060
is that me what no no that's not me i'm sure if you search aaron clary badlands you'll find a
00:49:02.600
picture of me out there let's see you probably will
00:49:05.380
oh there he is yeah there we go yeah okay oh that looks more like uh utah but yeah so that's that's
00:49:18.380
my goal and then um i just want to relax i gotta work on anger i gotta work on stress
00:49:25.040
but once the house is built i'll be in my it's just a big backyard and then and then it's just
00:49:32.560
going to be enjoy life you know and um you know stay in shape doing it the fun way not going to a
00:49:39.760
gym because it's minus 15 degrees outside like no i'd be like hiking outside i went for a hike in
00:49:45.140
vegas about three weeks ago four weeks ago it was wonderful because it was warm so that's what i
00:49:50.780
want to do have what's your go-to bike for long road trips um if i had it be i think it's a kawasaki
00:49:57.260
vulcan but i it was too big and i couldn't afford it um but that was the most comfortable bike i've
00:50:04.900
ever ridden the one i have now in the twin cities is a 1300 vtx it's a honda and that's that's a little
00:50:13.580
big for me but i like it very comfortable and then back in vegas i got a saber 1100 that's
00:50:19.340
also a honda a little smaller uh handles a little bit better a honda yeah 2006 vtx yeah there you go
00:50:27.980
that's it it looks like a looks a lot like a harley man you got saddlebags and a windscreen on that
00:50:33.920
yep saddlebags and all that yep okay and it's just like it's a ton and it's reliable you don't have to
00:50:39.540
do anything it just works you got it you you you pop the seat there's the battery you could charge
00:50:46.260
you you push it it's very easy to to operate on and yeah and it doesn't break down yeah i've been
00:50:52.080
looking for another bike man maybe i'll pick one up and go for a ride with you well come on out
00:50:56.960
whenever you're there yeah oh all right i'll dig that up later i just let a little placeholder for
00:51:02.280
myself see what that's all about uh we got a another one here for super chat he says some
00:51:08.360
massive beautiful caves in dakotas too are you a caver uh not really it is he's yeah atham atham
00:51:14.000
he's a buddy of mine he uh and he's a he's a spelunker he's a serious he's in charge he's the
00:51:19.220
president of his caving group oh yeah yeah he's out in california i've done some caving i've done some
00:51:24.860
caving i did uh cheddar gorge in england that was um you know that was an interesting uh tour they take
00:51:29.760
deep inside that uh bad boy they turn off the lights and you've never seen dark until you get
00:51:34.800
down in a cave i don't know if you've ever done that you can't see your hand in front of your face
00:51:38.760
like it's it's just black there's no yeah there's none there's um yeah i've i've done a couple cave
00:51:44.220
tours there's jewel cave and uh what was the other one jewel and something in south dakota and these caves
00:51:52.520
are not even fully explored yet they've shown maps there are literally hundreds of miles of caves
00:51:58.920
because it goes wherever the water is and you could go on caving tours where it takes three days
00:52:03.620
to get down to where they've stopped exploring and continue to explore and chart um and atham's told
00:52:10.480
me much about it but yeah there's there's some caves out in south dakota too and they think they
00:52:14.260
inevitably connect but they haven't figured it out yet but yeah there's a lot of stuff to do in
00:52:18.500
south dakota uh eric's got a question for you here on an airbnb cabin in spearfish canyon do you think
00:52:24.880
it would do well as in making money when we're not there um the it yeah spearfish canyon depend i mean
00:52:31.800
everything depends on price i mean it depends on what your monthly outweighs that's one of the most
00:52:37.300
sought after properties i would have bought in spearfish canyon but i don't have the money
00:52:41.780
but there's some beautiful beautiful properties in spearfish um and the thing is with the sturges rally
00:52:49.040
although that's going to be dying out because it's all old people uh spearfish canyon uh you
00:52:54.760
could you could get top dollar during the sturges rally pay for your property taxes and your your um
00:52:59.620
your insurance i assume depending on the price of the property uh but a property in general you need
00:53:06.280
someone to manage it man and up in spearfish canyon they get a ton of snow you got to worry about your
00:53:11.640
roof collapsing if you get too much snow so you're gonna have to have snow off you're screwed
00:53:15.600
yeah you gotta you gotta go and and check that out uh have someone uh have eyes on the ground there
00:53:22.120
looks nice man it's uh it's a nice little pocket it's a nice little corner i'm guessing it's not
00:53:27.580
that expensive because i know what your spending habits are like i'm i'm guessing you're building
00:53:30.920
this house for like 20 bucks or so or oh yeah it's a teepee i mean i'm hanging out yeah i'm just
00:53:35.740
going no it's it's uh i made i made off rather well with my house yeah i'm frugal and so yeah but
00:53:42.280
no the proceeds are going to go to build the house and it's not going to be a huge house but
00:53:46.180
it's going to be a nice house this is probably the nicest thing i've ever afforded myself are you
00:53:49.440
going remote you're gonna get away from people it's like get off my lawns yeah no there won't
00:53:55.460
be gun emplacements or things like that but there's i got neighbors that are three five six hundred yards
00:54:01.300
away um it's it's within a larger development but i got a three-point acre uh spread so there
00:54:09.940
you could see the house close to water you got a source of water on the property yep water and
00:54:14.140
that's the biggest mistake i see a lot of guys do they'll go out and they'll you know like i'm
00:54:18.460
you know i'm leaving the city i'm going far away and you're like you know you got to come over
00:54:21.540
and see and you're like we're just source of water dude it's like well we get it from a well
00:54:26.380
okay well that's one spot but what about a river or something like that'd be nice but i don't know
00:54:30.060
you don't always get it yeah um let's see here wind cave is what you're thinking yeah okay we're
00:54:35.880
um talked about metals talked about the markets talked about do you think it's the covet 19 or is
00:54:43.660
it the china virus i i couldn't stop laughing yesterday when i heard donald trump call it the
00:54:48.920
china virus because it comes from china i you know what if everybody's got sand in their vaginas because
00:54:56.060
someone says it's the china virus good i hope you i hope you're very upset because it's not racist
00:55:00.800
that's not i i uh i got other things to worry about i i don't know if you saw it but uh marvel
00:55:07.600
you almost have to laugh at the at being politically correct uh marvel there's a guy called daniel
00:55:14.340
flabbergastin or something like that i forget his name he writes for the stephen colbert show
00:55:19.400
well he he came out with a new comic and uh it's i forget the name of it but the the new comic book
00:55:28.620
characters in it what there one's called snowflake and the other one is called safe space and it is
00:55:34.860
the affirmative action hire of marvel and everybody is dumping on this guy and it's it's laughable now
00:55:42.320
so i i don't pay attention to the news i i you know okay fine it's the china virus i guess
00:55:47.580
of the of the of the whiners the moaners and the sulkers and the crybabies and the hissy fitters
00:55:53.100
today it's just it's just it's so funny it's it's just so incredibly interesting to me to see these
00:56:00.140
people flip out over something like are they going to go and change the name of the black plague next
00:56:04.740
right right right you know we gotta call it something else because that offends somebody today even
00:56:08.980
though it was whenever it's like you know the china virus bothers bothers like two or three people
00:56:12.900
um alissa milano made a big stink about it today i i tweeted at her today by the way that's uh red
00:56:18.920
flag number 17 hissy fits uh you know women that can't process their emotions probably so check out
00:56:24.600
that tweet and have a laugh at it um let's see here we got a couple more super chats in my area
00:56:29.960
we dodge feces as a sport yeah juan's in san francisco he's on a minimus can play to win in
00:56:38.780
any economy wife and kids uh not so much this black swan event has me doubling down on minimalism
00:56:44.860
any insights uh if you can go back in time what would you tell yourself at 30
00:56:48.960
i don't know minimalism has always been a policy for me and i when did it become a policy for you
00:56:56.040
when did you realize i don't need the big stupid house and well when i was three when i there was
00:57:02.700
no christmas toys what i guess what maybe i was seven and my brother was my size and then we
00:57:08.640
shared toys i was like i really became anti-communist at that point uh no there really wasn't a choice but
00:57:15.560
one thing i like about minimal especially when you get older is oh you see whatever oh look the jet
00:57:21.340
setting oh they're going to paris oh they got the fancy sports car and after a while you're like wait
00:57:27.700
i'm i'm 30 you know and i don't need this and i have fun with my friends and and uh having the
00:57:34.160
peace of calm and freedom that comes with not having debt is is way more valuable to me uh than any
00:57:43.640
material item and you know i don't have nice cars i don't have a fancy truck my motorcycle no i'm not
00:57:50.620
no i mean you got a nice little convertible yeah yeah yeah and i like my i got i love my truck but
00:57:56.260
it's always been a tool for me uh now i do have i do have fancy i'll i'll drop occasionally some
00:58:04.000
i'll afford myself some nice things i got a tovor x95 it's a it's a bullpup gun and it's tricked out
00:58:10.380
and i like it um what else i'm spending a little bit of money on this house i like you know i'm gonna
00:58:16.400
have a nice patio to smoke but minimalism has always just been a policy and once you live it
00:58:21.820
after a while you don't you don't need the the stuff also working in banking and seeing people's
00:58:26.540
income statements and balance sheets i was like you can't afford that truck you nobody can afford it so
00:58:31.880
i most people are full of crap when it comes to the way they virtue signal the world and
00:58:35.600
and money like like me coming from the credit and collection space there's there's millions and
00:58:39.880
millions of people in canada that i've seen i've seen their credit reports i see how they live i see
00:58:43.940
what their income you know looks like i see how heavily leveraged they are in their mortgages and
00:58:48.380
it's like you know i was having a conversation with somebody today about um you know this individual
00:58:53.740
that's got some money problems because they're not working right now it's like you know have you been
00:58:58.360
in that house for whatever it is 34 years and you haven't paid it off like you know like why do you
00:59:03.080
still have a mortgage on it right like i like i don't understand the concept of of digging yourself
00:59:08.160
in such a hole you know whether it's to keep up with the joneses or make your wife happy just
00:59:12.860
doesn't make any sense to me i got a buddy who lives in a major metro you'll love this story rich
00:59:18.120
uh and he's in the nicest town suburb of that major metro and every time i go visit him he tells me it's
00:59:26.720
because him and his wife um they hear the gossip and everything now this guy's paid off his place
00:59:32.260
he's a minimalist he fixes his own cars uh he bought in at the bottom and he's like don't tell anyone
00:59:39.740
and all he hears from people is okay we got this house and we got this much equity and they'll go
00:59:46.580
and read to the basement or wife wants a new suv and like nobody has any equity in the homes and i
00:59:53.080
called him once this corona thing started happening because they all live paycheck to paycheck and i was
00:59:59.140
i was like how many wives are leaving their husbands now how many how many houses are he's like it hasn't
01:00:04.260
happened yet yeah you can see it because these guys when the economy was booming and unemployment
01:00:11.400
was 3.7 these people were just treading water now holy and now that the kids are coming back
01:00:18.520
so i uh yeah that there's so much fake plastic posers out there you know less less than five
01:00:26.440
percent of the ferraris or the mercedes or whatever you see out there are actually owned by rich people
01:00:31.120
the rest of the people are renting here's here's what i think i'll get into in a second but um you
01:00:36.420
know what you guys have been so great and generous to us tonight with the super chats and everything
01:00:40.660
here here's a join link if you guys want to ask a question join click through just make sure you got
01:00:46.600
a decent mic and headphones on so we don't have a problem with audio but um here's what i think is
01:00:52.740
gonna happen you're gonna see a lot of relationships tested because women hate incompetent men women hate men
01:00:57.740
that don't have a backbone women hate men that can't get anything i mean the world in general
01:01:01.580
doesn't like guys that are sulkers and whiners that that can't get something done and if there's
01:01:07.560
problem with problems with money if there's problems with acquiring resources for the household
01:01:11.600
if there's problems dealing with challenges women don't want to step up to the plate and deal with
01:01:15.480
that stuff they'll they'll do it if they have to if they're forced to because they've been told their
01:01:19.380
entire lives you know you go girl you can be a man too blah blah blah but they legitimately want to stand
01:01:24.100
behind a strong masculine virtuous guy that can do all those things and you know take the brunt of it
01:01:28.720
they want to ride on the shoulders of giants so we're going to see a lot of relationships tested
01:01:32.700
over the next few weeks maybe months we'll see how long this thing lasts so so that's one thing we're
01:01:37.900
seeing a lot of um women who um you know again have been sold a bill of sales by um you know toxic
01:01:44.500
feminism we'll call it i tweeted about this today i think this will be the topic for rule zero on
01:01:48.440
saturday um you know who are working in salons uh admin assistants uh cutting hair doing nails
01:01:55.740
you know like all the stuff that you know let them live paycheck to paycheck and put a roof over
01:02:00.200
their heads and their kids heads and you know like all the karens of the world that you know got
01:02:03.700
divorced and took the kids sort of thing and you know they're strong independent they don't need no
01:02:07.220
man but if they're not working right now i guarantee they're going to change that tone you know
01:02:13.560
there's there's going to be a shift depending on how how long this goes over over more to
01:02:19.720
oh maybe masculinity is valuable maybe i do need a guy maybe i need to be more feminine maybe i
01:02:25.260
you know there's probably a lot of guys and i've started to see this already in my community but
01:02:30.380
i've already seen guys talking about how their phones are blown up with dms and text messages really
01:02:35.220
no kidding from like women that they've been in touch with in the past whether they're old plates
01:02:39.640
or if they're on dating sites there's one guy telling me today goes i've never been so popular
01:02:43.360
on a dating site before right so you know we're starting to see you know all these strong
01:02:48.320
independent women that are having a hard time or are starting to see you know some struggle coming
01:02:53.360
their way and um you know beta bucks looks looks pretty good at that point in time for scenarios like
01:03:00.020
that but um yeah this will be a real test man this is you know this is certain certainly test the
01:03:04.700
strength of of feminism i haven't heard a peek about you know men suck in the last couple weeks
01:03:10.220
have you i well see but i don't i don't really pay attention it it just goes with the it's
01:03:15.340
background noise for me now i mean it's kind of like i get i yeah you just kind of do your own
01:03:19.560
thing and play dnd and yell at your camera like every couple of days and don't forget my ballet
01:03:24.000
polka dancing or whatever the hell you said uh no i i uh two things you said there though
01:03:31.400
it depends on one how long this goes on if again if we discover the cure tomorrow this all goes away
01:03:38.860
and we'll laugh at it they're not it's not coming anytime soon somebody posted earlier that they're
01:03:44.400
using this malaria you know drug to cure it but this malaria drug that you're talking about has
01:03:48.920
awful side effects and it doesn't deal with the virus itself it just it just deals with
01:03:52.960
you know the immunity issues and maybe slowing it down oh well whatever it assuming this lasts a
01:03:59.260
while there it is our parent larping has diminished greatly i but i think especially with these oh
01:04:08.580
we're gonna give people a thousand dollars oh we're gonna give them two thousand dollars i think the
01:04:12.400
government's gonna come in and ride to the rescue here i think that i because i'm an eternal pessimist
01:04:18.040
because i'm always proven that it's right oh they will for sure they're starting to do it again like
01:04:22.440
they're already like justin trudeau said today you know we're making sure all the single moms have money
01:04:26.580
right uh you know we're giving you a bigger tax credit a child tax benefit so you know of course
01:04:32.140
the state's chipping in because you know the men are no longer the head of the household so the state
01:04:35.800
needs to do it right and and and you know it's it's no skin off my back uh but i i do believe
01:04:43.560
that's gonna women are not going to be coming craveling back saying okay i'll be the stepper housewife
01:04:50.060
that's not going to happen i think there's gonna be enough government money uh to shield them uh from any
01:04:55.100
consequences right but what i have noticed and this has been twice now is uh two women i can't
01:05:03.380
mention who uh they they contacted me what are you doing i'm like what do you mean what am i doing well
01:05:10.020
what what's your plan do you what do you and it's like my guy and i can't say who or what but my guy
01:05:16.540
who they're romantically involved with well he's not doing anything i'm like oh i see well my plan
01:05:23.800
is i have guns and i've five years ago bought you know trained and i bought stuff and i have silver
01:05:30.380
and then i have a friend who lives you know south of where i am that if it really gets bad there's
01:05:34.840
water oh well what should we do i'm like wow hey you don't have a man you're married love death to us
01:05:44.260
and this and they are they're playing video games they don't there's no foreplanning there's no nothing
01:05:49.460
and and i'm like you gotta come to talk to some dipshit on the internet you know and so yeah and
01:05:55.980
and so whereas the finances i think will be taken care of the the fear you know the zombie apocalypse
01:06:01.980
i think that might get them and is what you're seeing or your your agents in the field they're
01:06:07.340
seeing where all of a sudden women are starting to dm guys because now okay yeah the government might
01:06:13.320
give you a check but does it have a gun does it come with a personal bodyguard can you does it come
01:06:18.660
with a truck that you can haul your shit with a lot of that but three built like a brick shit house
01:06:23.660
and 210 pounds it could do problem a gun knock somebody out even if he doesn't have a gun
01:06:27.580
you know there's not a lot of guys out there that are that competent right right and everybody's been
01:06:32.480
sneering at it for years like i've been saying for years chase excellence not women go do the work
01:06:36.400
on yourself you know learn combat skills you know um and then i get yelled at when i'm like well
01:06:41.180
i've got a couple months of food stores well you're part of the problem but you shouldn't be hoarding
01:06:44.960
food and all that sort of stuff it's like dude i've always had it it and it's forget prepping or
01:06:51.220
let's just talk like basic emergency preparedness yeah survival yeah survive like okay i got iodine
01:06:57.860
map map do you have a map you know how to use a compass do you know where the north star yeah and
01:07:04.900
it's stuff like that where i'm like wow this is a big failure of men and now the dipshit who you know
01:07:11.800
maybe i don't know what happens when the power goes yeah you're really good with that joystick but
01:07:19.980
uh here's a real gun okay you don't even know how to prime it all right never mind just give it back
01:07:24.260
to me go make food with the women jesus go ahead and go and scavenge uh christian here i'll here i'll
01:07:31.640
pull you in man because you're the first one to pop in so you're up throw us throw us a question
01:07:36.680
fire away go ahead um yes so my concern is you know i live in new jersey and we're in lockdown
01:07:43.960
and i'm just asking myself how how long does this is gonna last because some people are saying
01:07:52.060
till all the way till august july other people are saying it's gonna last till a year
01:07:57.280
so like i'm worried about like economic implications that this will cause and you know how businesses will
01:08:05.320
recover it may not recover at all i mean well this is this is the place that you leave yourself
01:08:13.100
in gentlemen when you rely on an employer to provide for you or the state to provide for you
01:08:18.540
because when shit hits the fan and and this isn't a shit hits the fan sort of event this is kind of
01:08:24.140
like somebody flipped a fan right like nothing really bad has happened just yet we still have
01:08:29.780
electricity the government's pretty much offering to send people money i mean they're doing that here
01:08:33.880
in canada i heard trump talk about that today um you know they're talking about not throwing people
01:08:38.500
out if if they have problems you know paying rent so um there's there's lots of protectionary
01:08:44.440
measures going in place but i mean do you have you know six to twelve months worth of money set
01:08:50.300
aside for living expenses no do you own guns i mean no because it's so hard to get a gun
01:08:57.940
permanent jersey i'm not allowed to carry conceal okay but i mean i can't carry conceal in canada but
01:09:03.980
i own four guns right yeah right so i want to honestly i want to own a gun at some point do you
01:09:10.760
have gold or silver no you got friends do you have a network of friends like hey if something goes bad
01:09:17.600
you me and and bobby are gonna go meet over at frank's house and we're gonna hunker down and here's
01:09:23.180
our here's our responsibility i have friends but they're kind of clueless they're probably even
01:09:28.220
worse position than i am this is what happens when when you subscribe to the newsletter of just trust
01:09:34.300
the state trust your employer and everything will be fine because then you end up yourself in a
01:09:38.420
scenario where you're like okay i'm just gonna tell you that i'm gonna tell you that right now i don't
01:09:44.840
trust anything what cnn tells me or like fucking yeah yeah so i don't trust it but so so the question i
01:09:51.540
have for you then is why didn't you why didn't you prepare better for it well first of all this
01:09:57.060
corona thing caught everyone by surprise everybody well not really i mean you know we had sars we had
01:10:03.740
uh here i can pull up all the all the h1n1 swine flu pig flu bird flu especially like i mean like
01:10:12.740
you're not 12 years old right like how old are you uh 26 okay so i mean like you've seen sars then
01:10:17.880
right because that was in your life yeah i remember but here's the thing i don't i don't
01:10:21.220
record that we had no curfews major shutdowns quarantine i don't remember hearing those stuff
01:10:29.400
and dude this is just a basic flu bug that kind of spreads a little bit more than the flu
01:10:34.080
what happens when the next bio whether it's bioengineered or it skips from a bat to a cow to a
01:10:40.000
dog to a human in china next time and then spreads around the world what happens when that gets out
01:10:44.700
and that's way more fatal right like the fatality yeah that's that's what i think about as well like
01:10:51.140
yeah so i mean be thankful right now that it's not that bad and it probably won't get that bad
01:10:57.760
but what happens next time around if it does get that bad are you going to have money are you going
01:11:02.680
to have guns are you going to have a store of food and water like are you going to be confident are
01:11:06.400
you going to be able you know do you have a network of men that you can rely on in your inner
01:11:10.660
circle a tribe that you can draw a perimeter around that you can trust that you can go somewhere
01:11:15.340
with right like these are all things that that men need to understand and learn how to do because
01:11:20.300
if you don't then you end up in a scenario where you're like what's going on man how long is this
01:11:24.080
going to last and like what aaron said like when it comes to like meet competent guys as friends
01:11:29.880
it's like kind of hard like especially i live in the state metropolitan area right most guys like
01:11:34.780
deep shit they're concerned about fucking bullshit and you know smoking weed and shit they don't know
01:11:41.860
what to do in situations like that you know so let's try to do that christian yeah let me let me
01:11:48.140
christian let we can talk about what we shoulda coulda woulda but this should be instructional never
01:11:53.520
to have it happen again but going forward what's great about this quote crisis the stores aren't
01:11:58.340
closed down i stocked up on some shotgun ammo because i need to practice firing a shotgun so
01:12:03.920
you can hang out christian hang on so you could go what do you need just go online start researching
01:12:08.400
basic stuff for a bug out big basic stuff you need for survival it's going to probably include a weapon
01:12:13.560
some ammo some iodine pills for water um you know clothes some plastic and that's what you can do for now
01:12:20.520
you're going to have to come up with a plan if you're in jersey like metro you're going to have to go to
01:12:25.620
where there's not people you got to have a plan gas in the car gas in the truck you got to find some
01:12:30.960
buddies you can trust um you know and and christian do trust you me i know how hard that is to find
01:12:37.420
people it's like hey we should all learn how to fire guns and maybe clean them what are you crazy
01:12:43.600
join a gun club right because that's where they're all going out anyway yeah i mean you're kind of late
01:12:48.960
but when this all clean itself up that's what i do a gallon full of gas ready to use my car's full
01:12:56.240
tank i have food stocked up in my refrigerator for like a couple weeks so that i i'm able to do you
01:13:02.160
know i can go to the supermarket get some regular regular stuff that i need i mean everything is
01:13:07.060
normal when it comes to like cvs walgreens right how well first are you in hand-to-hand combat
01:13:14.640
not that good no start right i mean like this is something like join a dojo and take up krav maga
01:13:23.340
brazilian jiu-jitsu boxing probably the two most useful skills that you can use would be boxing and
01:13:28.860
krav maga krav maga is really good for uh dealing with attackers to inflict maximum damage without
01:13:34.820
without hurting yourself and getting away from them or protecting people that are around you and boxing's
01:13:39.300
got really good striking skills right yeah you know the most frustrating about this is like i will
01:13:44.480
i was looking for you know to start my my business right and i work two jobs i have a morning job i have a
01:13:54.060
night job i do deliveries and the the place that i work at when i do delivery they're gonna close next
01:14:01.000
week until further notice because the sales are too low you know he's getting frustrated getting scared
01:14:06.780
so he's shutting down the place next week till further notice so i don't know how am i gonna
01:14:13.340
you know save the money that i want to save start my own business because this whole coronavirus has
01:14:20.280
caused a logistic and a shipping crisis you know so i wouldn't worry about that for now let's worry
01:14:27.920
about basic stuff and making rent and getting food and then your business could come later but yeah
01:14:33.140
you're basically a cork floating down a river right now and there's not much you can do about it
01:14:37.960
right but learn from this scenario because these sorts of things happen every 8 10 12 you know 15
01:14:45.700
years like usually within about every 8 to 15 years you're gonna see something like this that could
01:14:50.820
be a black swan event right you know you're not expecting it uh if you haven't read the book then
01:14:55.800
read the book it's called the black swan by nicholas uh or talim nicholas talab or something like that
01:15:00.300
anyway you can look up you know the black swan i've probably got the names backwards do you know
01:15:04.240
what a bug out bag is a bug out bag yeah i got a bag you know a bag with basic essentials like on the
01:15:12.860
go there you go yep all right so i mean like these are all things that you should you should have lined
01:15:19.800
up you should have cash reserve you should have guns maps you defend yourself you should have map i mean
01:15:25.360
what happens if the cellular network goes down like most people don't even know how to read a map today
01:15:29.480
right i know how to read i used to read maps before when when my mom used to work for dominoes
01:15:35.220
and i'm talking about way back in 05 04 and sometimes my mom would buy a map of the city
01:15:40.380
right but i mean if you look at it i look at the map in a while most people still rely on gps in
01:15:45.980
their car or their phone right i mean you have 100 people i guarantee you like at least 90 of them
01:15:51.540
won't know how to read a map yeah it's gonna be really fucked up right so like all the all the
01:15:59.400
preppers that you see these prepper shows on tv and i guarantee you the prepper channels are
01:16:03.260
gonna get lots of traffic you know like right event you know especially after it they're probably
01:16:08.560
smug as hell right now they're laughing their asses off but um yeah man you know just learn from
01:16:14.640
this event it's it's probably not going to be that bad right like it's not right a deal it doesn't
01:16:19.380
seem like that big of a deal it could get worse but um you know you're basically a cork floating
01:16:24.880
down the river right now there's not much you can do man i know yeah i hate being like that right
01:16:29.880
now it sucks don't yeah but but hey the electricity is still on and there's still stuff at the store so
01:16:36.080
yeah you're not hopeless now now you go do exactly what rich said go go get your bug out bag put it
01:16:41.980
together and then you know find some friends in a rural place where there's water learn learn
01:16:49.040
combat skills too the only rural rural place that i know is uh west the western part of new jersey
01:16:57.020
like warren county uh hackett's hackettstown or um white new jersey pa land sure whatever wherever
01:17:05.400
that's up to you man you gotta figure it out on your own yeah but yeah all right well thanks christian
01:17:11.280
appreciate it thanks it's good to see on the internet finally thanks man thank you thank you guys take
01:17:16.160
care here's a regular uh yeah they show up uh see we got we got daniel here we'll throw him on and
01:17:22.920
then we'll then we'll wrap it up daniel what's up man hey what's up gentlemen hey hey quick question
01:17:29.220
so i'm new to the stock market thing uh but i just came across the uh robin hood app i was wondering
01:17:36.120
what you guys think about it and what percentage i mean i know everyone's uh situation is uh different
01:17:42.880
but uh let's say you have 40 grand in cash uh how much percentage would you say would you drop in
01:17:50.880
in the stock market now oh it all it depends on i mean do you how much what's your debt situation like
01:17:57.700
do you have any high interest bearing debt do you i mean what do you got you're debt free okay uh do
01:18:04.160
you you got any uh so no mortgage do you have a mortgage do you have a house none none okay do you want a house
01:18:12.880
yes you do want a house do you know where you want to live yes you do then what i would be doing i
01:18:20.900
wouldn't throw all your eggs into a down payment on a house but that's that's your down payment money
01:18:25.460
so i would spend your time especially now with you you're sitting pretty with 40 grand cash all this
01:18:30.740
dry gunpowder and hopefully this it's not just stocks that go down in value but housing prices that go
01:18:36.000
down in value but if you know the town in the area you want to live and you have 40 grand cash i'd be
01:18:41.500
using that as kind of uh as down payment money but i would also diversify a little bit maybe throw at
01:18:47.060
least five or ten grand a little some of it into the stock market you know keeping in mind it could
01:18:52.100
go down and this is the worst financial advice i've ever given everybody and you're guaranteed to lose
01:18:56.260
your money but i'd be i'd be in the housing market is what i'd be doing looking for that so i mean i will
01:19:02.460
be a first-time home buyer honestly i do i will not have to put it like a 20 where do you live in the
01:19:07.200
states or in canada yeah yeah north carolina okay well you here's the thing that but i know you
01:19:13.240
won't have to put 20 down but if you don't put 20 down you got to pay mortgage interest uh i'm sorry
01:19:19.280
mortgage insurance not mortgage insurance um and depending on where you are in north carolina
01:19:24.560
prices are going to drastically differ but you don't want to be paying mortgage insurance um because
01:19:30.620
that's just like added interest payment on on a mortgage so um especially you're don't be in a
01:19:38.020
rush for this at all go find a realtor go look around at prices be patient your weight uh because
01:19:47.420
i i don't think prices are going to be going up with with the coronavirus out there hey who knows
01:19:53.400
prices are going to go up i think they're going to pull off some and at the same time when it comes
01:19:57.180
the stock market i i'm sitting on a lot of cash now i mean i bought one or two positions i i bought
01:20:03.900
two i sold the second one i made some money on it but i'm really waiting for the market to dip below
01:20:08.580
16 000 right now for the dow anyway so going back to the robin hood app so are you what do you guys
01:20:16.060
think about it i mean because it's asked a lot of personal questions like my personal information
01:20:20.560
like my social security number and all that no no we don't want that no no that's all know your
01:20:26.520
customer stuff it's standard right i mean before you open up anything with a investing company you
01:20:30.880
gotta you gotta give them all your details it is what it is yeah are you saying are you saying
01:20:34.760
robin hood wants that information yes yeah oh yeah that's normal yeah i thought you meant you we
01:20:39.900
wanted that information like no no no no no that's that's normal that's that because you gotta they
01:20:44.800
gotta report your income to tax to the irs and all that other stuff so that's that's normal
01:20:48.920
okay awesome all right man thanks i appreciate you guys thanks so much take care thanks dan um let's
01:20:55.020
do one more real real quick because i got dave on he's in my community i don't want to let him down
01:20:58.480
here so quick question dave yeah you're on i'm on okay yeah um with aaron moving from minneapolis st paul
01:21:10.580
to uh south dakota it seems like that's a almost another climate shift into from cold to colder
01:21:17.380
you all think it's just texas california new york and now the other cold state no it's it's warmer
01:21:28.480
out there because it gets a chinook effect off of the mountains okay because because i live in
01:21:33.180
washington and i i'm looking at other places to go to uh from this liberal area to some what more
01:21:40.560
conservative and i'm i'm not looking forward to to harsh winters what uh what are you in seattle
01:21:47.280
washington i'm just i'm just warm they got a very favorable tax system yeah you could stay in
01:21:54.800
washington i mean what about spokane or uh wenatchee i mean do you want a big city or you want something
01:22:00.240
smaller or what you guys nice i've been there yes spokane's nice but the problem is you're within
01:22:05.960
the border of all the liberal crazy wackos in seattle so you know even though eastern washington
01:22:12.520
is much more gun friendly and much more um traditional uh you know craziness over here is
01:22:18.700
just you know insane i'd i'd go if you like washington state um every major metro is a a leftist
01:22:27.880
marks a shithole that's just how it is sometimes literally literally a shithole because you're
01:22:33.320
stepping over shit and i've been to seattle and tacoma it is shit uh but yeah if you don't want
01:22:38.880
to leave washington state i don't think you have to because your your main thing is going to be
01:22:43.480
your state income tax which they don't have yet yet but if they do have that then you could move
01:22:49.780
again then you're looking at like texas i still am a big fan of nevada because you have las vegas
01:22:55.480
is a huge metro town it's open 24 seven well not now but it's wonderful it's very hot during summer
01:23:00.880
but there's no state income taxes texas is good uh rich you mind if i don't mean to plug a book but
01:23:06.560
it would help them yeah good i gotta you might want to read this or just look at the charts
01:23:12.520
it's called reconnaissance man what i did is i broke down the united states um methodologically
01:23:18.780
on the best places to go and live for a gun gun-minded freedom-minded low-tax-minded type of people
01:23:25.200
what are the top three top three uh well that's where i i didn't come up with the top three
01:23:31.700
okay because that's my personal the it boils down what were your personal picks vegas south dakota
01:23:38.000
um and florida specifically rapid city or the black hills area of south dakota las vegas nevada and then
01:23:47.340
um saint petersburg tampa area of florida but again dave is not me and i am not dave but the the book would
01:23:54.520
it whittles it down like tennessee some people love tennessee i'm not a big fan of texas some
01:23:59.520
people love texas phoenix that has state income texas but it's a wonderful town arizona is a
01:24:04.900
wonderful state uh so there's and they like their guns too so uh there's he doesn't have to move out
01:24:11.020
of washington but yeah there's a lot of nice warmer places than washington state well i was i was
01:24:16.620
considering uh nevada probably in the reno area versus las vegas um i have lived in central texas
01:24:23.660
for a while so i know what that environment's like but it's all the crazy californians are moving to
01:24:28.500
austin so that kind of tells you where that's going yeah you know that's gonna go south real quick
01:24:32.980
it already has and a lot of people are upset okay but uh
01:24:38.620
but uh there you go the other the other thing i'm kind of a prepper but not really a full you know
01:24:47.360
crazy foam with the mouth prepper but uh what do you think about tailoring your preps for your the
01:24:54.800
most likely scenarios like on the east coast would be hurricanes and ice storms yeah why wouldn't you
01:25:01.700
yeah yeah i mean that's i mean like you're not going to prepare for earthquakes and you know
01:25:07.860
south dakota right unless they get them there no i don't know they don't they got one in utah though
01:25:12.140
yesterday but not yeah no it it depends but mobility is another huge thing and i'd and the
01:25:20.100
having a network of people um jack donovan's book the way of men is very key if you're going to prep
01:25:27.340
read that book because it shows look we can all be lone wolves but in the end you're going to need
01:25:31.440
people in teams if for any other reason that you can take sleeping and watch shifts and not worry
01:25:37.700
about you know so that's i i wonder when you know yeah okay the water will go out if there's a hurricane
01:25:43.900
on the east coast but um if if you just do a simple basic modicum of prepping you're you're beating
01:25:51.900
98 of the population yeah uh so i and and you're gonna be in way better shape so you got guns you got
01:25:59.000
food you got water yep you got some gold or some silver you got some metals a little bit yeah i
01:26:05.440
mean you're better off than like you know like you said like 95 of the people out there yeah i want to
01:26:10.820
i want to get more uh precious metals because i think that's going to be a a hedge in case of a real
01:26:16.460
ugly scenario but it could also be for an economic collapse too yeah but yeah i mean it's not a great
01:26:24.820
store of value but it's you know it's better than nothing it's better than sitting on bills
01:26:28.520
underneath your mattress i mean well if you had a couple of ounces of gold and nobody else had
01:26:33.380
anything you'd be like the one i'd met the one i king you know yeah indeed yeah there you go all
01:26:40.780
right thanks dave thanks all right uh apologies to anybody sitting there waiting we're gonna we're
01:26:46.500
gonna wrap it up uh just gonna hit on this one real quick super chat here uh hang on just make
01:26:54.520
sure i uh catch everybody before we go it would be a good place to start investing in the current
01:26:58.160
situation if you have little money i don't want to miss out if you have little money i get a lot of
01:27:03.540
guys are like you know i got 2 000 i got 5 000 you're not going to turn into a million dollars you're
01:27:07.840
not going to turn a hundred thousand dollars you like even if you choose right you buy the right
01:27:11.600
stocks you might double it right so don't think for a minute you're going to turn like five grand
01:27:16.440
into a hundred grand you're going to turn five grand into ten if you're lucky um just get on the
01:27:21.980
backs of giants you know like aaron said before you know buy the index or you know buy the uh buy the
01:27:27.920
berkshire hathaway stock you know uh warren buffett knows what he's doing i mean the the class a share
01:27:33.040
has never been split so you're not going to be able to afford that but grab the class b or
01:27:36.360
you know hop in on that and just hold on for the ride if you want i this this presupposes he has an
01:27:42.880
emergency fund um every every person out there should have what i call a micro fuck you fund
01:27:47.800
yeah everyone thinks fuck you money you know i'll have two million dollars well if you're going to
01:27:53.560
run into a lot of shady bosses and lying bosses and and impossible working situations you need
01:28:00.200
six months living expenses i'd say so if anytime you walk into a job and they and and you're living
01:28:07.200
you know like oh i paid i and maybe you were very good i paid off my credit card debt i no longer have
01:28:12.100
six thousand dollars in credit card debt yeah but you got zero money now and now you have to treat this
01:28:16.920
sadist boss in this job you hate and detest and loathe for three months so i would always even if you
01:28:24.540
have credit card debt have six thousand dollars cash you know or six months living expenses i should
01:28:30.020
say rather so that if you ever like you don't have to be a beggar you could be a chooser at least
01:28:35.600
somewhat when it comes to a job but if you got that micro f you money and you got some extra money
01:28:40.560
left over yeah you know berkshire hathaway whatever but don't don't expect to make it a ton of money
01:28:46.660
and it could go down and it could go down got a got a hiking question for you so let's make this the
01:28:52.180
last one and we'll wrap it up uh looking for places to travel southern states next winter where
01:28:56.420
should i go looking to do some hyping um hiking it's the southern states it ain't that great you
01:29:02.780
got your appalachian smoky mountains that's about it so the best bet you're going to have
01:29:06.680
is going to be tennessee i really like knoxville tennessee it's not as crowded as atlanta you're right
01:29:13.060
up against the smoky mountains national park and you can go down to ashville north carolina that's
01:29:18.380
another beautiful town um and you can kind of putz around in there uh you i mean if you want to
01:29:23.740
do the appalachian trail you can i'm spoiled rotten going out west all the time uh so the the smokies
01:29:30.420
are a little pat on the head uh otherwise you get a florida it's flat there's nothing to hike
01:29:35.500
alabama mississippi kind of same thing i know everyone has the nice little parts they can go hiking
01:29:40.500
but you really got to be in the in the thick of the smoky mountains if you really want to do any
01:29:44.780
hiking otherwise for fun i mean if you've never been there i'd spend some time in florida um i think
01:29:51.620
if you spend three weeks in florida hitting all the different major towns you see what beach life is
01:29:55.940
like but you'll soon realize it's basically old people and what chain restaurant do you want to eat
01:30:02.200
but st petersburg tampa miami fort myers these are these are fun little towns or big towns actually
01:30:09.440
uh atlanta's too big i wouldn't deal with it if you want more of a slow pace charleston uh and um
01:30:16.600
raleigh i like raleigh a lot too uh but um i would i would avoid mississippi and alabama all together
01:30:24.160
kentucky meh tennessee yes the east side of it is there a trail that runs up the appalachian spine
01:30:31.820
yeah appalachian trail yeah it's like 1200 miles or something you know yeah but that's what i do it's uh
01:30:38.420
but if you want something cosmopolitan basically commit yourself to going to florida all right uh
01:30:44.540
