0:00 with your manifestation can you fix McFlurry machines at McDonald's cuz I'll be like I'm going roll up to this McDonald's it's the soft serving machine better have I'll just manifest you another kind of yogurt no and I go there and they're like I'm sorry it's broken I'm [Music] like welcome back to another awesome episode of careful boys and today we are very very honored to have AR vid over here thank you uh so we were talking about slavery I thought we were going to drop the subject yeah no um dude you are an interesting man and you know it seems like all the things that you have somehow manifested in your journey like you manifested it like you that's the right word for it yeah went out of your

0:50 way met people asked questions called people up like like you had some sort of like thing that was like I need to get in here somehow is that is that just an innate thing that you've had since you were born or it's like yeah well no not I would say like um growing up I was pretty like I I was in a very Asian community in Belle Washington so like it was very academically there's a lot of uh Hawaiians there huh or now uh a little bit but yeah just in general like Japanese Americans Chinese Americans it's a good mix of people but um yeah like my high school is like very obsessed with just school and same thing middle school and everything and is it like the Irvine of Washington I guess it could be sounds kind of like it yeah it's like most yeah most people's parents you know most of their dads are like Engineers or phds or you know that kind of stuff and then um yeah

1:41 so I hated it so I was like I I hated dealing with with like School in that way cuz I felt like I never got a chance to actually like try to learn anything I was interested in it was just like hardcore like but were you really still good at school yeah but it's not like I yeah it's more like my dad had a rule I couldn't get less than an A in every class so I had to actually get yeah like every every single classus well yeah a minus is a beaten yeah that don't count yeah they still will count it as an A in high school but I did uh I did running start so I did like two years of college in high school so you can't get an A minus CU that actually affects your GPA it was like it was it was really like sounds stressful yeah it was really something and then and then I was like I was like okay I hate school but I still was always super curious so I think my only motivation was like I just wanted to know the answers like the real answers to things oh that's sick um you are a truth Seeker yeah like real

2:33 like a guru man yeah and then uh sit there and meditate but yeah um uh I think it was only after the Tony Robin stuff that I understood like the power of like mindset and and pretty much anything related to manifestation cuz before that I had all these health problems and I you know was financially in a bad place and then like afterwards um uh every it was like a weird miracle cure upw for me like fixed every single health problem un the power with that's a what health problems did you have I had like I had fibromyalgia for over 10 years so it's like every part of my body was in pain and then I had like pre-cancer cells like in terms of my esophagus cuz I had so much like acid reflux all the time I just went through one up everything just magically disappeared it was really weird is that the one you walk on fire at then yeah yeah yeah yeah and then like financially

3:23 yeah financially it was like um I think I grew my monthly income by 10x in like 4 weeks wow it was just cuz I didn't realize that like most of the time you're just kind of stressing like you're not actually like doing real like anything actually productive at least in my my case like you're thinking about stuff a lot but you're not like physically like cuz you're tired from thinking yeah yeah you're not really sending the amount of emails that you need to be sent you're not really doing what what you could be doing so to catch people up that are watching um upw is called Unleash the Power Within I didn't go to it um but from what I cuz I've been to other Tony Robins seminars so I kind of understand the structure but what he does is is um pretty much like he's like the I would almost say he's like kind of like the David goggin of mindset where whatever your think your cap is right now like you think you're trying your best he'll help you unlock it so by the time you leave you go oh ████ like I I'm capable

4:16 for more I thought I was making 100K a year and like like and I thought that was dope and I'm like dude I could easily do 750k so it's like the way he kind of like overclocks your brain and then your belief in yourself is 10 times much higher and then obviously when you leave you have bad habits and you you know get down on yourself and you you have you have self-doubt again but he gives you tools to be able to tap back into that space of of being a higher performer yeah that that was that was pretty much the big breakthrough for me and then um everything was basically manif it was like even the Jordan Belford one I remember I was having a brunch with my now wife um and we were in uh Santa Barbara I think we were in the San edro Ranch restaurant I forgot the name of the restaurant but it's great restaurant highly recommend it and we're just sitting there and no one's at this restaurant except behind me there's

5:07 Leo decaprio and his girlfriend you know one of his many girlfriends at the time um but but anyway so like I didn't believe my wife when she was saying like oh Leo's behind you and then like I'm just like slowly turning and then like and then he and then I thought like and and I noticed it's actually him and I thought he probably has people stare at him all the time but he's like really offended at this moment so like like he drops his food and he like stops looks at me and then I'm like well this is awkward cuz now I have to like uh deal with Leo in the future and then somehow in my head I told her I was like oh for sure he's going to I'm going to have to deal with something related to Leo DiCaprio because of this moment and then I got connected to Jordan bford like within a few weeks after that so it's like these weird like I don't it's really weird but like anytime I have these weird like thoughts in my head that sound ridiculous um same thing now like I had this thought I woke up one day and I was like you know I want to advise cuz I I went to law school I

5:57 never finished I was like you know it' be really cool as if I just skipped that whole process and worked with an attorney general cuz it's like the highest level and then I and then I was like okay I have 48 hours to advise an attorney general and I have no connections to any attorney general so you know like so I just yeah like I make up these weird rules and then like I start messaging everybody and then I'm like hey just intro me intro me intro me with your manifestation can you fix McFlurry machines at McDonald's cuz I'll be like I'm going roll up to this McDonald's it's the soft serving machine better have a ████ M I'll just manifest you another kind of yogurt no and I go there and they're like I'm sorry it's broken I'm like ████ ████ can't keep doing this to us he screwed me keep breaking her heart so like in that situation where you're saying like intro me intro me int me if someone goes okay and they intro you

6:47 what what do you say to the yeah yeah so so I'm like just trying to push in that direction so it's not like I didn't have any friends that talk to attorney generals right so like what they could do is intro me to some random mayor of some random like they can just you know they can like get me in that direction basically and then I talk to that mayor of that random City that no one's ever heard of and I'm like hey do you have someone who like and then I just keep pushing basically kind of like the whole Six Degrees of Separation someone knows someone that know absolutely do yeah yeah that gu like you didn't want to meet me yeah yeah so well yeah when I talk no you're a stepping stone you idiot I don't care about you MC flurry yeah yeah yeah I'm the mayor of Santa Fe Springs he's like mt BR the swap me back or at least the driveing theater actually well with everybody that I talk to I always ask them about what they're

7:38 doing in terms of business and I try to give them like as much as I can even like our our conversation like the moment I talk to them I always like I'm wondering what are you doing in terms of business and usually they don't have anyone that they've really talked to about it so it's easy for me to like have a full conversation and tell them what I've seen other you know other people do and what works and then and I'm like yeah you know intro me to the um but uh yeah I think that's I think with nowadays it's it's much easier than it was before um just cuz I can just have a conversation with anyone about their business and you know be as helpful as I can depending on their situation but yeah that is the recipe well you manifested your way here congratulations the Dre The Dream you know I'm sure you watched Bart's Vlog and him playing with TAA and you said one day one day one day I'm going to be on JK yeah crazy does that ever work at

8:29 a negative way yeah yeah what's like a manifestation Direction you went and like just didn't work out like do you ever see like an ad for for a dildo and you're like damn it that's in my life now I'm going to work with this guy God there's a big black deal though um I think yeah we're I'm not happy sometimes like I might get to that end outcome for example with the politics and stuff and then I realize it's very different than what I expected you wanted to get into politics I just wanted to know like what's like for example like the president and stuff yeah I was like what's going on and it's like kind of pathetic um like you're doing this for money what you could do literally anything yeah I think the politics one was was the most disappointing when I like yeah

9:19 we saw how a lot of that worked yeah it's basically it's the kind of the simple answer most politicians usually went to law school they're lawyers and none of them actually believe in anything that they say they're it's literally a 9o5 job where they're employed as a lawyer to to um advocate for the party that you know basically got them there and that's it and so that's not actually a Bad Thing necessarily cuz you know you don't everyone's opinions changes you don't want someone to be going rogue necessarily but it's really like a profession where it's mostly just lawyers who are just doing it as a 9 to-5 job they don't care about anything that they're saying and they're saying what you know you want to hear you know pretty much and that's that's pretty much how the world great works yeah today's video is brought to you by rocket money you know what my favorite thing about rocket money is what so a lot of people like to use it for

10:09 subscriptions and they've already helped me with that I'm like just because I visit different places and I get gym memberships and they trick my ass now all of a sudden I look back I'm like why am I paying for three four five gym memberships when I already own a gym and I have one at my house so they help me clear that up but one of my favorite functions is the budgeting part because when I'm spend ending day to day I get impulsive and I'm like oh of course I would love to spend this much on a meal have this friend in town and that friend in town but the way that you can categorize you can go food entertainment transportation and so you have your own like personal CFO working for you budgeting stuff out so that you can live your daily life and still reach your own goals that's so wonderful and like me I'm super forgetful so I get excited and sign up for things and then I'm like

10:59 like I've been paying for this for 2 years and I forgot about it and I know a lot of you guys do this cuz over 70% of people are paying for subscriptions right now that they forgot about but rocket money can help you out rocket money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so that you can grow your savings and Rocket money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of $500 million in cancel subscriptions saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the apps features so stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to Rocket money.com offthe that's rocket money.com sloff theer rocket money.com sloff theer

11:50 do you think Trump is doing that or is he a little different there's no yeah there's no power that any president has yeah that I've ever seen yeah um that that was a shocker but but like it makes sense once you start to realize what is this guy doing all day they're giving speeches they're doing like they're like the spokesperson yeah they're spokes person that's that's really what they are no matter who they are but um uh so we need a dictator is what good one too we need a strong deer leader that can actually dear leader like a king we need yeah we need Kim a beloved leader we need a deer leader man that walks around missiles and goes that that that and everyone goes I'd be down man I'd be down to to live in North Korea for like a couple months just to ask him question yeah yeah yeah yeah hey man you know he's our

12:40 age dude can you believe being our age and running a whole country yeah I me I I just want to know what he's actually like his real problems privately dayto day cuz it's pretty different cuz like I know like diabetes and ████ yeah like one royal family that I know basically he's he has a terrible life because all of his family members want him killed so that they can get the job as the king like you're not you don't really think about like their day-to-day life it's some Game of Throne ████ he can't trust his closest people actually remember when Kim Jong faked his death he faked his death and then cuz they were like oh he's been missing he had a heart attack and then um he says surprise ████ I'm alive and then he killed his uncle cuz he he was trying to bring out like who was who was going to try to step into power train station

13:30 yeah that's pretty crazy cuz I remember him killing some family members he's good at that you know you probably have to be if you're a dictator King yeah you probably have to kill all your uncles he's like I definitely do it he's like that F killed his step brother he's like I already know which Uncle I'd go for right he killed his step brother or his half brother I want to be a dictator just so I can kill my uncle who I hate he killed his half brother at the Malaysian airport oh that was a sick ass move with the two yeah yeah and the girls didn't even know that they it was like a reality show crazy it was like a test where you kill a stranger they were being primed for like a year and a half or some ████ yeah dude can you imagine your job is to kill family members that's your job versus like no no your job is to protect your throne it's different same thing what else would you ask Kim Jong if he was like anything go

14:21 ahead he's like I'll tell you he probably want to talk to you about the NBA all day how slav working for yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah what else would you ask him you know what I'm actually curious about cuz I I went I went pretty far down the rabbit hole to like listen to those defectors like exactly oh yeah cuz like you hear all the bad but I'm like there's a good to every it doesn't matter what situation I need to understand like there's something that's as a human that's allowing certain people to to still feel perfectly satisfied there and if you really listen to the defectors and I talked to one of my friends who dealt with the was the famous Defector the lady girl that's like a model yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the one who got caught up in a little bit she started going crazy and crazy she got a little out of hand yeah and then they feed us worms and then after the worms they feed us a leather

15:11 they look into her life she was like a socialite yeah she was like a rich North Korean yeah I was like trying to understand like what's really going on and the one thing that I did find is if you really pay attention to some of the random obscure interviews they will say that in North Korea because is it's just more like it's just a poor country effectively it's a lot more communal and social and so like they get that benefit versus in like other in Western countries you know you're isolated and you know very rigorous but that that's the one thing that they liked is that people actually like enjoy time with each other and are laughing just cuz there's there isn't other things to do NE you're not sitting there watching TV so it's a good social life with like family maybe maybe you go like early 9s life to kill your uncle or something but outside of that like versus being distracted by your phones and everyone on cuz like I I I I really want to like

16:01 the thing that attracted me to Jake's videos is like he's really going for like the taboo stuff yeah and anything that's taboo there's something to uncover there and so like anything that like you know is it's like everybody like is just cast as like negative I I want to like look at like okay there's there's human beings there I know how humans work there must be something you know that's like AR is a upskir he likes to look he likes to look under the skirt and then what is under there he's a selfie stick and he goes that's the truth that's pretty tight yeah he's a upskir that's where the real knowledge is at it's not revealing the veil panties of evil yeah I like that I like that Jake does that he's like there's there's something to learn with all this evil stuff that people just brush off and go they're bad let's not look into that but it's like something's there man

16:52 you know maybe it takes a certain personality to like be more to be attracted to wanting to uncover that cuz when I speak about to some of my friends right they get extremely uncomfortable they're like oh this is just kind of scary I don't want to talk about it and I was like why this is fun and then maybe because me I'm like it doesn't change my world he's a upir I'm an upsirt because I'm like does it change like if I found out tomorrow aliens exist Does it changed the way a ribeye steak tastes no like nothing in my life changes like I just find out it just I just nothing will change that for me I can still enjoy the same thing my my quality of life doesn't change as he's getting arrested he's like listen man like nothing in my life Changed by me doing this I was just trying to the

17:42 ribit taste the same he just keeps saying that looking up those skirts someday I want I want Jake to start making videos on like Disney villains and to be like was it really that bad what Jafar was trying to do cuz it's it's only a matter of time was it the genius Slave oh yeah yeah yeah that's good just constantly given I like a lot of his videos too because it teaches you like motive rather than um good or bad I think that's such a boring way of of looking at life is like that's good and that's bad a lot of people argue morality all the time cuz that's interesting to I think the majority of the world but it's like you were saying there's no real true good or bad business or politics it's just selfin

18:32 too right it's profiteering right yeah but especially in the politics if you think about it for two seconds like after it be like at least for me it was like okay at the end of the day what else am I supposed to expect from some lawyer guy who just wants to get paid 9 to5 and he's supposed to advocate for like what else is he supposed to do like that's it like um and that's that's kind of what I was just like okay it's kind of sad but then it makes a lot of sense and I you know this might be complex but has there anything has has there been anything that when you like discovered or uncovered it it like changed a trajectory of either your belief system or like a direction that you wanted to go with everything that you do yeah you know honestly I would say like the YouTube space started to really shift my understanding of people like the creators that I deal with because obviously like you guys know that um uh how well you guys are are obviously you know source of Truth you know for the

19:24 world but but for everybody else like you're optimizing for what gets clicks what gets views whether it's true whether it's not you know kind of doesn't matter and so especially with like the business guy influencers the gurus like the I man I don't know why I'm saying but like say like Alex rosi okay like like anybody that people feel is like super legit essentially he's done a good job at at convincing you um that that and he's done a good job at making you feel good so Warren Buffett Heros all these types of people they tend to do a very very good job at at at creating the right emotions so you keep watching watching them and you feel good about yourself but rarely is it that it makes a real impact on your day-to-day income and your life basically true and so um like koszi the guy he has he live I'm pretty sure he lives in Texas but basically there's a few billionaires in Texas that

20:14 advise him and then one of those guys like is someone that's like a kind of a client or friend to friend essentially so I spent enough time talking to to one of those billionaires and basically Heros is just sitting around all day trying to get different story from stories from different billionaires he doesn't know what he's doing he just he just making up a lot of stuff basically and then like I talked to his video someone who works with his video editors and so when you kind of see the behind the scenes it's like okay I kind of feel bad for the guy on some level cuz I know how he is privately he's relatively sad angry dude it is what it is um but it's weird and it's unfortunate that like that's what's captivated everyone same thing with Warren Buffett like I and Bill Gates especially too like I know know how he is privately and so it's just so different from like the image that's portrayed and that kind of messed with my view as to like I guess people do just want entertainment effectively

21:06 more than like truth oh so cuz I was thinking to put horos in the same even in the fitness space too like I'm sure you see that sorry yeah oh to put hormos in the same weight of like with Warren Buffett and because uh Warren Buffett and um Bill Gates aren't known as influencers in this space but you're talking about what they present to the public versus how they are as business guys or what they how they operate in real life the two don't match yeah not at all yeah like like um Warren Buffett that's why just made the video with Jake on Warren Buffett but like he's as old school like like Mafia Ruth like he's like there's no like oh you just sit there and you smile like it's all like a fake character so he seems like a teddy bear yeah that's what you mean like his Persona that's his actual that's how he's he's a threatening ████ like he's a teddy bear with a gun really

21:57 paranoid really yeah like that's kind it's basically like the paranoid Mafia type guys those are the people that end up like billionaires yeah essentially um millionaires you can have plenty of good like real life businesses but like the billionaires they're you're dealing with like Mafia type people um and you see this more in people don't think of that in the US but like it's more obvious let's say if you if I said hey here's a billionaire in this random like country in Africa or South Asia or whatever you might they're like Warlords yeah and you you you assume that that's and you think in America they're just some goody goody people but they're not you know like it's the same like whether it's in America or and did that change your belief system or the way that you want to lead your life now you want to be a warlord yeah yeah that's that's it and and the slavery and everything have you met any have you met any billionaires or like or like highly

22:47 like have you met any billionaires that kind of didn't screw anyone over no so it's a tricky question because basically when you see a society without that many billionaires the entire econom is kind of it's It's like a everybody's kind of worse off so you it's a weird tradeoff essentially where um that that's kind of the argument basically like if you have these societies like let's say in America where there's tons of you know rich people a lot of poor people whatever at the end of the day the products Services no matter how much they scam people in the process or how much you know how many people they killed you in the process um uh at the end of the day there are way more like consumer goods that people have like everyone AC ACC to Walmart yes yes yes and then and then if you get rid of that then like everyone's kind of back to farming you know mud Huts or whatever so

23:37 you know what that reminds me of like you know um there's certain cities in Japan that are the most safest because it's the headquarters of certain Yakuza groups and if you're doing petty crime in those cities you're guaranteed to be killed if if you're if you're getting ████ up you rather be ████ up by like the cops you want the cops to jump you not the not the gangs to jump you right so then it's kind of like well if you have a bunch of billionaires with these kind of it it's it's better than chaos yeah yeah of like like a country that doesn't have so I'm like is there anything beyond that though better quality of crappy life would you rather be a billionaire that has to do those types of things or would you be fine with just being a millionaire no yeah I'm I'm happy just being a millionaire the only thing like he's a billionaire

24:29 of course you would say that this guy's media trained yeah it's just like how it's kind of like um yeah like even in Fitness right there's like a certain point where it's like for most people they're well off and then when you get to the extreme bodybuilding it's like okay you're dealing with a totally different situation that's kind of how I would say the billionaires are it's a diff different game different situation you can't compare like a regular guy being really active steroids is crazy to get to that point right totally yeah it's like I think I think there's the thing that like people don't usually experience this cuz you don't get to that level of success but then you'll see people where they're very true to their craft and they're very authentic whether it's business or Fitness or whatever but because of the ceiling that you hit by putting out the truth they

25:21 now have to gamify then you become like the hoses or whatever so now you're putting out fitness content that you may not believe in but will get more which at the end of the day makes you more money so you're like what's more important me being better at Fitness or better at business and then so now you have guys that I've see like sell supplements sell programs do whatever or train a certain way on camera that they never do in real life they'll never train like this but because they do this and they know they're going to get a million views which makes way more money and then they go train this way and it's completely separated do you mean Shanti doesn't do hip-hop ABS at home makes a lot of money yeah I'm sure it's that way with business and all these other people the worst thing that I think is actually harmful is is like is like normal running shoes I didn't realize that that ████ up your knees you know like like

26:12 having these soft ████ shoes like that what are this ████ thing yeah yeah yeah like what do you think's happening why like like your knees are taking the impact and you're old you're like what just happened you know my knees gave out on me so be barefoot I I wear zero shoes yeah like I wear like like it it was like a it was like 9 months of pain you for like my feet but like yeah yeah but now I feel like it's like PT that was that was the thing that was just on the fitness side I was like man this kind of sucks that people like that average consumer wants comfy shoes if they're going to go running like they don't want to deal with the pain zero shoes but that's also that's that kind of brings me back to like the chicken or the egg thing it's you can give the truth but people also don't want the truth too you know like you can go like hey it's very easy to lose weight wait just eat less than you no no

27:02 no just something else something else you know like just run around the block every day no no no no there's something else I need way sicker shoes I need ████ moisture wicking materials or something you know be nice though some people are great coaches and some people are great athletes right and I've learned a lot from fake influencers they got lot to offer cuz some of the basic ████ they're saying is not wrong and then you hear the same ████ from everybody or at least it sounds good you're right it is giving people what they want it's like you could and they're making it entertaining in the beginning it's like yeah you're right but it's like snowball right it's like maybe something was like uh built off of a truth and then it like 5 years later how far it is from the actual truth you know what I mean it's weird but it it got there only because like step by step it it felt like the truth

27:52 but also how many videos can you make about keto and bench pressing like you're going to run out of comment make up stff eventually you have to be like I invented this heavy ass hat that you lose weight cuz it's ████ heavy and then people want it yeah you know like even if you think about Jordan's right how many are there like 20 something oh he the first one he can win championships in it's not like each Jordan got you know what I mean yeah say this ones are from space they all just look different hey you can't bring style into this bro ex that's the same thing but people will keep buying more people keep buying more the next one the next one the next One People Want it too so it's like it's like it's hard to go like oh they're the bad guy cuz the people buying it could also be equally be guilty it's the demand yeah there both there both I'll say that that's my answer it's both okay good

28:56 yes
