00:00:00.000 At the height of gangster rap, Yeh made this album called 808s and Heartbreak, which is
00:00:14.360 auto-tuned, melodic, and very sad.
00:00:16.440 And when people were complaining, he said, I have notes I need to get out there.
00:00:20.860 I find that to be the best way to approach everything I create, not in terms of monetary
00:00:24.600 value or obligation, but because there's something that I need to say.
00:00:30.000 As soon as I start measuring it based off of monetary value, it immediately loses the
00:00:38.480 truth.
00:00:39.040 I've been lucky to get rid of the FOMU, the fear of missing out on money.
00:00:43.320 If I had more FOMU, like many of my business-minded and even broke friends have, I don't think
00:00:49.280 I would have made half of what I am proud of.
00:00:51.620 What would you do if you had all the money in the world?
00:00:54.660 Most people do terrible things, so maybe it's better to not have it.
00:00:58.680 Right now, I could go full in.
00:01:00.860 I mean, I could take a $15 million gambling deal, which every passing day, it seems more
00:01:06.000 and more like I should because people don't seem to care that I don't.
00:01:08.940 Or I can make far less money and invest all my time and energy into what makes way less,
00:01:14.920 but I love more.
00:01:18.000 The hardest part is the FOMO.
00:01:20.200 What was even more surprising was after attending my friend's extravagant wedding yesterday, a
00:01:24.140 big gathering of two families.
00:01:26.100 Immediately after when I went home, my friends were showing me TikToks of girls posting videos
00:01:31.260 of the gold that was part of the marriage transaction, saying, ladies, don't settle for this amount 1.00
00:01:36.340 of gold.
00:01:36.920 What do they want, a brick?
00:01:37.940 How much gold is okay for these women to feel like they're going to have a happy marriage? 1.00
00:01:42.720 In reality, the gold really has nothing to do with a longstanding marriage, but everything
00:01:46.920 to do with how much other girls are getting. 1.00
00:01:49.340 In fact, I'm certain the guy that's giving his wife 10,000 gold bricks probably has the
00:01:54.940 shortest marriage out of somebody who just went to the courthouse.
00:01:58.460 Expensive does not mean better. 0.64
00:02:07.040 What's funny about this ATM is that this one is the only black one.
00:02:10.980 The rest are gray.
00:02:11.840 This is where you press $40 to get an eighth.
00:02:14.200 Eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth.
00:02:19.340 Anyway, about the ATM, I just closed my fifth house, fifth condo.
00:02:31.120 They're not huge.
00:02:32.660 Did that in a little over a year.
00:02:34.660 And they're not crazy big.
00:02:36.140 A couple tenants in each one.
00:02:37.640 But I just calculated how much revenue it has.
00:02:39.320 If I wanted to quit this whole game, now it's like I have a slave working for me.
00:02:45.200 That's why I like to think of real estate.
00:02:46.420 It's like you're buying a slave.
00:02:47.460 They're very expensive slaves.
00:02:48.580 They're good, hard workers.
00:02:50.420 They'll mine a lot of cotton for you. 1.00
00:02:53.200 I woke up today to see a falling out between FaZe Banks and many people in the streaming
00:02:57.180 industry for what people are calling a crypto scam that I even fell for and lost a lot of
00:03:02.440 money in.
00:03:03.380 I don't know if it's true, but many people are upset.
00:03:05.660 Aiden, other people had to address it.
00:03:07.640 And even FaZe Banks stepped down as the CEO from FaZe.
00:03:10.600 I think he's just stepping down for appearance reasons to not mess up everybody else in FaZe.
00:03:14.680 But regardless, it's sad to see people lose relationships over 50 million when they already
00:03:21.340 have 20.
00:03:26.100 People seem to forget the purpose of making money is not as a scoreboard with other people,
00:03:31.140 but to buy experiences and freedom.
00:03:34.140 If your money isn't being spent to purchase one of those two things, what's the point of
00:03:38.380 making it?
00:03:39.240 Buying this pen two days ago, I made a simple mistake that many of us make thinking that 0.99
00:03:43.900 expensive shit is better. 0.98
00:03:45.760 This $17 pen does not even correctly serve its only function. 1.00
00:03:50.040 What a perfect example of being blinded by a high price tag and some fancy metal.
00:03:54.380 a high price tag and some fancy metal.
00:03:55.380 It's crazy.
00:03:56.380 Look at the deadpan face, man.
00:03:57.380 Come on. 1.00
00:03:58.380 Shit, everything good? 1.00
00:03:59.380 Yeah, everything great. 1.00
00:04:00.380 Content coding is going good and shit like that? 0.92
00:04:01.380 Yeah. 0.96
00:04:02.380 Yeah, I literally can't speak right now.
00:04:03.380 Look. 0.99
00:04:04.380 There's always smiling and shit, so... 1.00
00:04:05.380 Yeah, we're having a conversation. 1.00
00:04:06.380 Sneeko! 0.98
00:04:07.380 Yeah!
00:04:08.380 What's your name then?
00:04:09.380 Sneeko. 0.54
00:04:10.380 Sneeko. 0.54
00:04:11.380 Okay, nice.
00:04:12.380 You endure so much on that.
00:04:13.380 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:14.380 You like him?
00:04:15.380 Because in eighth grade, no, in eighth grade, oh, like, four years ago, you were like the
00:04:30.380 opposite.
00:04:31.380 Yo, what's up?
00:04:32.380 I mean, he's not, uh, he's the only non-supporter of Israel on that stage.
00:04:37.380 So...
00:04:38.380 Of course, man.
00:04:39.380 You got a photo with you?
00:04:40.380 Yeah, sure.
00:04:41.380 Yeah, sure.
00:04:42.380 You don't like your new ones?
00:04:43.380 Why not?
00:04:44.380 I like them too, but...
00:04:45.380 One thing about these trendy New York neighborhoods is that when people come up, it's always like,
00:04:48.380 yo, I used to watch your old videos since high school.
00:04:50.380 Yo, I love your videos.
00:04:52.380 Every other place, Times Square, Soho, it's like, yo, you're that streamer.
00:04:56.380 You're the streamer.
00:04:57.380 Here, it's the appreciation for what I put my heart and soul into.
00:05:01.380 Things that I'm extremely proud of.
00:05:03.380 I didn't make that much money, but made this happy.
00:05:07.380 And that's what counts are.
00:05:08.380 And that's what counts are.
