You're going to write it down? >> Okay. >> Write that number down. >> Thank you. >> And just just in case you guys are going to ask stupid questions, it has to be in the currency of the US dollar. >> Oh, dang.

Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom. >> You guys already did the calculations cuz I've been thinking about this for a

0:51 long time. And I know why Anthony's asking this. It's because he wants us to pay him this rate. That's why. >> I think it's only fair. >> He's just trying to find subtle ways of, "Hey guys, this is my" >> I could tell you how much the pay Anthony needs to ask for for me to walk away from everything. >> What? >> I'm just kidding. >> Okay, start, loudmouth. Mine's simple, very pragmatic. >> Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. 10 million dollars. >> Sick. >> So, you're going to leave JK for 10 million? >> Easy. Easy peasy. >> Let's make sure he never makes that much. >> [laughter] >> Just always cap him at 9 mil. >> Why the ████ would No, cuz if someone gave me 10 million and I do the 4% rule, you guys know what the 4% rule is? So, I would do the 4% rule, that means I could draw like 200 grand a year for the rest of my life

1:42 without this number ever going down. I'm pretty Well, it's actually 5 million 4%. So, I actually have another 5 million to play with and invest and do whatever. Um I I feel like that's that's all I need. And I could chill and I can time is mine, and I can do whatever I want. I'd be fully retired. >> You live too simple. >> I'm a simple person. >> This is my number. I saw Bart wrote 10 mil, and I wanted to one-up him. >> [laughter] >> Why? Why is yours 5 million more? >> Cuz I want to have 5 more mil than Bart. >> Cuz mine actually was 5 mil, right? To to to hit 200 grand a year is 5 mil. The other five is just to in case I want one-off spending. >> What How did you come up with that number? You just copied him? You can't do You can't copy Bart. >> No, I wasn't copying. >> But you said you saw what he did. >> Yeah, that was a fun little joke. That

2:32 was just a fun little joke. >> Okay, so how did you come up with your 15 billion dollars? >> No, 15 mil, dude. >> Okay, million. >> Because part of it is I really like what I do. I do enjoy work. And part of me feels like even if I ever won a gang of money, I would still probably do what I do, right? Like >> So you're not walking away from nothing. >> I would do like a nonprofit thing. I would ████ you know, >> You have to walk away. >> Yeah, that means you got to get more. >> Yeah, so I would say 15 mil is a good number that's worth it enough for me to be like, all right, I'm going to give up this lifestyle that I truly enjoy. >> You're never allowed to wrestle with men ever again. >> Why? So this is my number, dude. 15 mil. >> That's not enough. To walk away from your love? >> Uh cuz I feel like I could have money for my family. I could take care of my fam. I could take care of Tizz's fam. I don't need much, bro. I'm a simple guy. You need 5 more million than I do.

3:22 >> That's what I'm saying. I want to beat Bart. >> You're not You're not as simple as me. >> And I can have some ████ you money a little bit. I can buy some cool ████ you know? I can buy some some things that you don't ████ need. And you know, >> No, but what's going to happen 10 years from now when you you and Bart right about to wrestle, and you're like, I can't I can't >> I can't. I got to respect the deal. Cuz I also want to live like I would love to >> You can't You just can't teach anymore. You still take classes. >> I can still take classes, see? I can still be a a hobbyist. >> You guys are too loophole Chinese-y, man.

Right? Get a place in Mexico. Get one in El Salvador. >> That's it, though. You can't buy anything else after that. >> That's it. That's it. But you small But nothing crazy. Small little homes, nothing nuts.

4:12 >> You only have money left over for taxes. >> I'm a simple man. Oh, we're talking about taxes now? Come on, dude. This is a gift. A gift of 15 mil from our friends. >> I'm not going to judge your number, but all I'm saying >> But I did. >> What's your number? >> No, judge away because we're going to judge the ████ out of your number for sure. >> Yeah, it's probably It's If you think 10 million is >> be 1 trillion. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, I hate you, dude. >> 1,000 billion. >> I I hate that he can't even write 1 trillion. We talked about trillionaires all day yesterday. >> 1,000 billion. >> That's 1 trillion. >> So you want to own a government. That's what you want. >> Yeah, cuz >> walking away is like >> So 900 billion, you're still not walking away. >> Nope. I'm not walking away. I'm not walking away. >> Uh I think it could have been like so 900 thousand, you're still not walking

5:03 away. >> 95 billion, and then we have a deal. >> I feel like somebody gave 900,000 right now, he'd walk away. >> I like I like that [laughter] someone goes, "Yo, I'mma buy Junbi for 2 billion." He goes, "Nope." >> [laughter] >> You know why? I don't know what else to live for. >> You don't need to find something else to live for? >> I can't even do the ████ I like anymore. I got to just walk away and be a new person. >> You're not going to be a new person. >> You're saying there's a bunch of stuff everything that you like you're doing. There's not a bunch of stuff that you like that you're not doing cuz you couldn't afford it. >> You could be the same person, but just change >> You're the same person. You're the same person. You're the same person. You're the same person. You're the same person. YOU'RE THE SAME PERSON. >> I LIKE STRUGGLE. I DON'T EVER WANT TO NEVER STRUGGLE. >> You will struggle. You'll struggle with so many people are begging you for money. You're going to struggle. >> I DON'T WANT those people around me. >> That's struggle, brother. >> Dude, you're going to you're going to

5:53 have to be the Illuminati now, bro. >> you're you're going to keep struggling. Didn't you ever hear what Siddhartha said? Life is struggle. >> No, that's what I'm saying is I'm going to keep struggling anyway. Let me ████ with the struggles I'm dealing with that's chill with me now. >> [laughter] >> So, instead of just getting a sick like $500 million, you're like, I want either absolute struggle or absolute struggle. >> I'm not talking like that bad. Compared to like a homeless man that's jacking off in a street corner. >> So, what would you do with that though? What would you do? Like, what's your game plan with it? >> This? >> Yeah. >> I hope I don't achieve it. That's why it's so high. I don't want I don't want anything else. Maybe like a hundred thousand. That'd be nice. That'd be nice. >> Why don't you write a hundred thousand then? >> You don't have other dreams? >> No. >> Cuz it could be like, let's say you got two billion or whatever. Now your struggle is climbing Mount Everest, some

6:43 other dream you had as a kid. >> Let's play Joe's real game real quick. What's like his absolute favorite ████ random things in the world? Just name random stuff. >> Well, I don't know what it's this cuz you know, I think everyone has their random favorite things and then their random favorite fantasy things that they thought were fantasy, but is actually realistic, but they buried it cuz they think it could never happen. >> Mhm. >> Exactly. >> And then I think having that money uncovers the second part that no one really gets to play with in their lifetime. >> But for example though, Joe's thinking that walk away from everything means walk away from everything. >> Yeah. >> No, we're we're practically thinking like walk away from like your careers and your work and stuff like that, right? >> I'm not talking about jumping out of a 50-story building. >> [laughter] >> He's like walking literally walking out the window. >> He's not even allowed to like like things that he likes right now, like guns. >> No, I'm talking about you're the same person. You're just changing clothes. >> That that's also a terrible explanation

7:34 though. >> [laughter] >> Cuz he said that's not what Anthony was saying. I'm changing up who I am. I'm like, no, you're exactly who you are. It's just right now this is your June B shirt. You get to wear another shirt. You could wear AI Mogul shirt. You could wear Casino Mob Boss shirt. >> [laughter] >> God, God. I think a better analogy in that same way is hats, cuz you know people wear different hats. >> But when you're talking about billions, your shirt, hats, socks, shoes, all >> [laughter] >> You said shirt, hats, socks. You ████ you up right now. >> [laughter] >> That's what I mean. >> You know your shirt, hats, socks. >> You could be a Tokyo Drifter. >> Wait, do that again. >> [laughter] >> He could be a Tokyo Drifter. >> Yeah, you could be a Tokyo Drifter with a trillion dollars. >> Because you're from Japan, you're just a drifter, though. >> But we already did that. We were We were broke. We We went with Ken Gushi and he

8:24 taught us how to drift. >> All right, you know what? Let me tell you this. What is your number? >> 25 million. >> You're so rich. >> What do you mean? [laughter] What the hell? You have some thousand billion. >> Okay, cuz my real dreams is to have a country and wage wars and stuff. >> Then you need a trillion. >> Yeah. >> Then you need a trillion. >> Who would you wage war with? >> So your dream is to wage war. >> Imagine you had that kind of ability to just like do crazy ████ Like Kim Jong-un, I'm hella jealous. We're the same age. He owns a country, dude. >> Yeah, uh he has the ability, but he's not doing it. So you just want the power and the ability to not You want to have the button and and the the ████ maturity and the power not to press it. >> I want to know what it's like to assassinate my brother.

9:14 Like and not get in trouble for it. >> So for you, the only way The only way for you to walk away from June Bee is if you can assassinate your brother? >> No, but like >> [laughter] >> my life is so different that it becomes like almost like I'm a different person. Like to the point where like I own a country. >> No, Joe. You're not a different person. You're just wearing a different shirt. >> And it's a communist outfit with badges and ████ >> Shirt hat sucks. [laughter] >> Okay, what about yours? What about >> No, dude. This is There's nothing exciting about this compared to 1,000 billion. >> Well, it's higher than mine. >> That's a lot. >> Did you want to beat you? >> I was just trying to one-up Nick. >> You son of a ████ >> I'm just curious, how did you come up with that number and why? >> This number right here? Walk away, never do anything, account for inflation, account for my wife and my daughter, everything's taken care of, and my dying parents and her dying

10:04 parents. 25 million is not as much as we think for the next even 10 years. >> But if you do the 4% rule, it keeps growing. The part that's not being passed out >> to do the 4% rule, dude. So, to take care of that many people, I think the 4% rule on 25 million is like still a happy life. It's a happy life. >> It's cuz you guys want to retire. >> It's not a It's not a overly abundant life, either, I think. >> Why would you want to retire? >> Because imagine how much how much I think I would take 5 million off the top on ████ around money and not even just investment. Like, so the 4% rule would only apply to maybe 20 million. >> 5 million might be which is still like probably 800 grand a year. >> Which is sick. >> Yeah, but 5 million might uh immediately be like right to like all four parents to just be like just anything. >> Yeah. >> Anything. It's all It's You're at the end of the road, fam. >> You know how many Toyota Camrys you can buy with that? That's sick, dude.

10:54 >> If you want eight Toyota Camrys, grab it. >> You start a little Turo business. >> But you guys you The four of you have like maybe half a million each. I know I said 5 million, but really every single time >> They get taxed. >> I get your saying. >> I tax every category and every sector. >> And you just give me a little bit of margin of error just in case. I get your saying. >> Yeah, so they really only get like half a million. Do anything they want. Take it off the top. >> Hey, if you make 25 million, will you still host JK? >> No, that's the whole point. >> Then I hope you never ████ make it. >> Bro, I think if you give me 100 grand, I might never host JK. >> Well, I hope you never make that money in your life ever. >> Well, that's why we're quitting sometime soon. >> Someone pay Anthony out. >> I'll tell you this, though. The number is a lot lower to keep me hosting JK forever. >> Come on, baby. >> If he gets a hundred grand, I hope he doesn't host JK. I thought you should go dance in Indonesia or whatever to go get that money. >> [laughter]

11:44 >> Go do that.
