So I met this dude. >> You're a freent shopper. >> Imagine a uh uh >> use promo code bart. >> Imagine a Chinese fob like the kind from northern China like really tall. >> So I used to work out at uh the Bs in Roseme. You know that one or no? >> Yeah. Isn't that the one with Chong Lee? >> Yeah. Uh, no, that's not the one. Oh, with Bolo. No. So, if you're from the SGV, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It was a big hot spot. But I used to work out there and this random northern Chinese guy would come up to me and he would always ask me all these like bodybuilding questions, bro. Like talking like this. I'm like, "This guy's interesting." >> How you get a shoulder like that? >> Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Like he really

0:51 wasn't. That was expert level, dude. >> Shoulder like that. He he ████ loved bodybuilding. I don't know what it was. And so me and him, we started becoming friends and went from getting protein shakes after to to just spying on America from China. >> No. To getting food to finding out we both went to Elac East LA Community College together. And then uh he was like, "Hey, like do you want to help me with my business this summer?" And I'm like, "Yeah, what's your business?" >> And he goes, "Well, I sell textbooks." And I'm like, what what's difference between your textbooks and what we're selling at like the campus? And you ever see those international versions of textbooks in college? >> Have you ever seen them? >> No. >> For some reason, like let's say you get a regular like Huft Mifflin or whatever, right? The textbooks like this. The international version is exactly the

1:41 same but just a little bit smaller with the text. And they'll sell this one to India for like half the price. But it's the same exact textbook. >> What? I don't know where he got his plug from for this, but uh whatever the textbook was was like 80 bucks at Elac or whatever the local bookstore, he can sell it for like 20 to 40 bucks. >> Yo, >> so he was like, I need someone to help me like haul these things, organize. And at that time, I was uh a supply admin marine. So I was, oh yeah, logistics and like inventory. I'm like, I got you. I could do this. So he paid me in college for 4 hours a day of work. He paid me 1,700 a week. >> Sick. which is a ████ ton, right? So, in four weeks, >> bro, that's a career. >> Yeah. And and I'm only working four hours a day, but it has to be night shift cuz it has to be I don't know, uh during his hours, we'd go pick up. It's almost like buying and selling drugs cuz

2:32 he would take me to his textbook plug. And then this guy would like he would have storage spaces and you'd open up the storage spaces and we take these books out and we'd like carry it to his truck. >> Counterfeit textbooks. >> Yeah. Counterfeit textbooks. >> That's crazy, >> dude. What a market. >> So, that's what got me in. And then 1,700 a week is a ████ ton. I got ████ um I got my truck lifted with I got >> your rims. No, no, rims is from financial aid. Then I got I got uh my subwoofers. I got ████ full head unit. All all this stuff with my car. And then he was like, by the way, 1,700 a week for anybody to know is 88k a year. >> Sweet. >> That's ████ 88k a year. This is 200 what? 78, >> dude. 2008. >> Like 2004. versus preJK. >> You work on Wall Street, baby. >> 2004 with 88K a year is like crazy.

3:23 >> Yeah. >> Gas was a dollar. >> He had this ████ Tacoma that literally only went like 40 mph cuz he lifted put these tires. The engine couldn't handle the weight. It was so slow. >> And I took the the catalytic converter out so it's straight pipe. So it just GOES going nowhere making the most noise ever. It was like a tractor speed. I >> hate you. You're one of those guys. I hate you. >> And he went cheap on a suspension, so the ride was hella hard. So, it's like he would hit a bump and everyone that's sitting in the back would ████ hurt their ass cheeks. >> Oh my god. >> It was the funniest truck ever, dude. That's how I afforded it. It was so slow. So, we're running this business for maybe like a few months and then he was like,

4:15 like what Milo like like I can't sell my books anymore. And I'm like, "Oh, what happened?" >> So basically this guy's talking to you like jetly. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like the his book plug got ████ up somehow. You can't sell those books anymore. I don't know. Like ████ I don't know what agency like is looking at the ATF for books. Found them and then I was like, "Oh s███." I'm like, "Okay, that's you know that was cool. That was a that was a cool run. It was a summer job anyways." And then um then he hit me up. He goes, "Oh, bud. My my dad, he has our factory. The factory has a there's a silicone plastic products. We make everything. And then he showed me the catalog. They make everything from ████ drum sets to dildos. >> Damn. >> You know, in China, it's not even about like the item. It's just materials. So, if we have X, Y, and Z, what can we make out of XYZ? They're very practical,

5:05 right? And he's like, what do you sing out of all of the make the most of money? And I was like, oh ████ >> HE'S ITALIAN. MARIO WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. >> NO, he nailed it, right? He was there. He was doing the matter and then he sounded like LC Tony and then it turned into ████ Mario. So we sat on eBay and we just looked at all the retail prices of things and I was like, "How much you get a drum set for?" And he goes, "Oh, like I don't know, 15 bucks, whatever." >> You made it insecure about the accent, bro. Go back. >> No, you were good. You were good. Yeah. Yeah. >> So we start going and then he was like, "Oh, look. A deal though is a $45. It's a $45 for how much you how much you uh get it for? And he goes and he was looking at his price she $7. And I'm like, dude, those margins are ████ crazy. And then so for him, he's just

5:56 like, >> it's just math. >> It's just math. He goes, "Oh, you're telling me that's good?" I'm like, "That's really good." >> So the next then so like next week he orders So he lives at a one-bedroom apartment with his mom. He orders a pallet of ████ sex toys to his one-bedroom apartment with his mom. So, he tells me to come over. I have my first shipment of products or whatever. I go inside. The first thing his mom says, he goes, "Is my son crazy?" And there's ████ dildos like this on the wall. >> Yeah, there's there's swings >> on his forehead. >> There's swing sets, ████ like all ball gags, all kinds of ████ in there. And I was like, "Honestly, I think your son might be a genius." And then she just left us alone. And then we started organizing all of the stuff. And then uh so he and then he brought in his other Chinese homie who's also a Chinese

6:47 bodybuilder. And then they're like >> bunch of buff as fools. >> I like the idea of like northern Chinese ████ buff ass dudes are responsible for like the entire sex trade of like the West Coast. >> Yeah, they they are. They're these two buff ass dudes. And then so we're just like divvying up what we should do. And then he's like this is the first time he's selling on eBay, right? So he was like, "Oh, my English is so poor." He's like, "You're your is good English." And I was like, "Sure." So I started to have to write the copy for all the description. >> The same guy, by the way, who did this tattoo? >> What would you say on the copy? How would you describe these? So I would try to like try to turn ████ on, you know? I'm like I'm like head, bro. >> Yeah. Like ergonomically shaped or like the tightest flashlight you'll ever find. And that's actually how I got my first flesh light cuz he had so much of a

7:38 surplus. I was like, "Do I got to try this s███?" Actually felt pretty good. But if you follow the full directions, >> you got to warm it up. >> Yeah. If you get the the lube, you put in the microwave, not too hot cuz of the bottle explode. >> The whole bottle explode. >> Thought of that. >> And then you put it in the So he he had one where it was like he had from full butt cheeks to to just to just the ████ >> That's the best one, by the way. And then there's the one that's like a flashlight. He gave me the one that's uh just kind of like the cameltoe muff part of it. So you pour it in and it's sometimes it feels better than a real one cuz it's hot. Like it's like really warm. It's like hot stones. But then every time you jizz into it, you feel like I'm a ████ DJ. What the ████ What the ████ >> Got to clean it after. Yeah. ████ >> That's the saddest part, dude.

8:28 >> Yeah. You're like you're just sad. >> Yeah. You're just there. You're like, "F███, I busted into this thing. Imagine ████ bit my lips." >> Having to clean the torso, the the ████ ass combination, bro. That's crazy. >> Having to wash that in your sink. That's That's terrible. >> But then this guy, he like scaled it to the point where he needed to get his own uh storage space. He moved out of his mom's place so his mom didn't have to see his sex toys anymore. Now it's just him and his buff ass homie. and he filled his entire living room full of like sex toys and I would just write all the titles descriptions uh for his business. >> That's hilarious. >> So, how much money did you guys make off that? >> He just kept paying me the same cuz to me that was like a obscene amount of money in college. >> But I don't know if he just kept going and then he I think he was the first guy that taught me about like having crazy

9:19 dreams like things like like >> wet dreams. >> No, no, no. Like like people think I'm Chinese, right? like in terms of my loophole thinking, this motherfucker's Chinese because we'll go >> he's the source. >> Yeah. We'll go to Home Depot to buy to buy shelves or whatever and then he'll be like like let's say all the parking's full like which is like ████ And I'm like what? He go there's no parking. And then he's like if I I want to be so rich I just go into the park in in the red line. I'm like they're going to tow your ass. I don't care. I just buy another car. So he's like in that mindset. I like, damn, this guy's opening my mind. Like, yeah, why don't you just have 70 cars? If they just keep towing your car, at least your time is money. So, his brain would like and then eventually he made he won't even drive anymore. He goes, "Bar, you drive. I don't want to do anything. I just want to think." And it started making me like

10:09 really like think about business. I'm like, "Dude, this guy's great." So, I would be the one driving him around and he's just in his car. I'm like, "I don't want to think. For 1,700 bucks, I'll do anything." You know? I'm like, "I'll go grab your Shinoya. You want to go grab your Shanoya?" That is true. That's why ████ Zuck wears like the same shirt every day. Decision fatigue. >> Yeah, cuz for him it's like if I waste time and decision on non-m money-making things, that's bandwidth that could be on scaling the ████ out of there. >> That's some next level ████ though. He has no shame. He goes, I'm going to sell all the dildos to America. >> Dude, I I would love to sell dildos for that margins, you know, cuz that's really good. >> Yeah, it's like everything is hard to get these everything's over 500%. And you know, they need to keep buying more cuz a dildo user is going to be like, "Ah, this one's worn out." >> And then they're going to buy another one. I think they I think they got a lot of use out of theirs. You know,

10:59 >> I didn't know that there was such a >> There's mileage. It's like shoes. >> Yeah. Okay. >> If you're a you if you're you lose the grip a little bit. >> You think they warranty that ████ though? >> You get bored. Get smooth just like the bottom of your shoes. You lose the grip. >> You got to be an avid ████ masturbator to be worried about the warranty on your dope. >> You got to have like a small business. You got to be ████ railing that dildo. >> I think there's actually more men than women buying dildos. But at least you're not just one gender. You got double. >> If it's the dudes, they're wearing that thing to the bone, bro. The flesh. >> If you're a dude who has a dildo, please get in the comments and let us know. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Actually, let us know. We're curious. We want to know.
