0:05 Okay, this is a weird story that I just never imagined would get any traction, but somehow like people really care about this, but you know Cole Walliser, the Glambot guy, right? Why is this a thing? Why is it even a thing? I'm lost. >> Okay, so do you guys know the Have you guys heard of the Glambot? It's like a It's a device that they would use at red carpet events for like celebrities when they walk by. It was a high-speed camera arm that would zoom like this and it would it would shoot in slow motion, so like you get celebrities doing this like glamorous moment that look like this. It was like a a a >> unplanned or whatever. It's like when they're walking the red carpet, they'd be like like Gwen, it's Gwen, it's come over here. Okay, it's just going to be a like 1-second turn and then maybe just give it a wing. And then they'll just run it one time and then that becomes like the thing. Super slow mo. That's cool. Yeah, so the guy that that operated and hosted the Glambot at these
0:57 events, his name's Cole Walliser. He got really, really popular from it because of, you know, like doing so many different red carpets with all these huge celebrities. And I guess like an email correspondence had got leaked where he was being rude to a potential client who was asking about renting the Glambot. He was being such a ████ Really? Such a ████ dude. But it's it's like So this guy, he's a he's a um he's a director. He's done a ton of music videos, like things like that. And and you probably have known him from somewhere, right? I I don't know him. I've met him one time and he's buddies with one of my one of one of my homies. >> He's very integrated with lots of people in the dance industry. I've like seen him so many times and and and passing, said hello here and there. I never thought that there was anything like wrong with this dude, but So like here's the exact correspondence
1:49 from a So someone had emailed and this is like in 2019. And they're saying like are you the Glambot available for private events such as a wedding? I'd love to have you at mine September 20th and 22nd. And then he responds with it is not cheap. If you feel like something like this might be within your budget range, then I'm happy to discuss further. She says, yeah, it's something in my budget range. Uh and he says, I don't see how you could be since I didn't say how much it was and it could be between 10,000 and 1 million. By the way, spoiler alert, she is that rich. Why is he so rude? >> This is how you don't talk to people that want to do business with you. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. This is everything wrong >> If someone responds like that, you know they're ████ rich. So he says, it's $300,000. I'll take a 10% deposit to secure the gear and once I have the deposit, I can do a contract. Ready to get started? And
2:39 then she says, thanks, Cole. I'll reach out by Monday. And he goes, if you wanted to know how much it costs, you just needed to ask. You don't need to pretend you were going TO BOOK IT. WOW. HE WAS GOING to ████ book it. He lost a sale. He lost a sale, dude. >> want business. That's crazy. >> What if he was like, no way, she's not going to pay that, right? Cuz what if it's actually like just 30 grand to like get? So then So then he quotes this outrageous amount and then she's like, yeah. So he literally lost a sale. Okay, so that's that love that you said that. So you guys know Joseph Kahn, the the director? So Joseph Kahn chimes in and he goes, I'm the one who invented the Glambot. Oh, did he? I didn't know that. So cool. Basically points out that uh that he's the one who created the lighting for it, the design, like everything about it. You could get one
3:29 built for 200k. And then the guy who would direct or who used to do basically what Cole does now, his name's Nigel Barker. He goes yeah, I've I've rented that Glambot out on several campaigns for like an Alo campaign for all these different things. And he said the basic package for renting it was 25k. See, 30k. Why did he charge ████ 300? Just cuz he's ████ If I had to like step into his mind, I think Cole added a lot of value to it through the years on, you know, it was always at the Oscars, it was always like at really prestigious events. And I think like he raised the value of it. Yeah, exactly. >> To 300,000? >> I don't know about that, yeah. >> I don't think you just rent the the machine, you're also renting him. Because it's like if you just if the machine just shows up, you're going to be like, I don't know what to do. So you're renting also a guy who like understands the look of it and the
4:19 timing and the and the ability to talk to somebody, even a high-profile person without getting like, you know, the nerves and ████ and just be like, hey, can you just do this little turn? All right, cool. Smirk at the end. Perfect. How about we just do that one more time? Like you're also renting like somebody who's overly experienced in this particular thing. Plus he he said that it takes 15 people to like operate it. Damn. >> That's what he said. >> It sounds like to me he gave you a FU price just to like mess with someone. Cuz he doesn't want to work a wedding. I I low-key don't think it's a FU price considering how unique it is as as well. And like you're you're literally transporting heavy machinery. That's not going to fit in like a Honda Odyssey. But did he have to say it like that? That's asshole-ish. I think I think that's the wrong thing. I think that the actual numbers or anything like that probably could be realistic. Like if something's featured mainly only at like Golden Globes or red carpet events and then somebody wants it for a private
5:10 event, yeah, I could understand like even a price gouge on something so unique. >> there's also a there's also a case to consider of because it's something that is kind of unique, there are going to be people that are trying to suss out the price and value that are competitors. Uh so it could be he's tired of like stupid emails. He went through a hundred >> gets so much riffraff hitting him up. >> Look at this other one that he that he responded to right here. Can we book you for a wedding? Hey, dude, I mean you can, but there's a reason the Glambot is only at the Oscars, the Grammys, and the Golden Globes. >> Already makes you mad. >> So he's just a dick. Already already just makes you mad. He's just a ████ dick. >> Well, he could be a mark. Like he could be like, what do you call it when you like do you really want this? And he's trying to suss out how much money they got. Cuz in in in in his defense, if I were to be in his shoes, right? I'd want top dollar
6:02 for this operation. Exclusivity is such a big deal for wealthy people. If you're a Saudi prince, if you're ████ like Indonesian oil man, you're you're ████ baller, right? Like you don't care about how much things cost. So you want to charge the most as much What What you also want is exclusivity. So you first brag and go, I don't know, I don't really do weddings, but guess what? Like um yeah, this has been at the Oscars and and it and it gives this ████ princess is having a wedding. It's big. We're going to have the Glambot that only goes to the Oscars. So it could be a marketing thing, right? So and also he has to price out the peasants. So the peasants are going to be like, um I got 5 grand. Can you come to my wedding? And he goes, what the ████ man? >> to get ████ like that. >> Right, so there's a lot of that or maybe
6:53 they're like, man, I didn't know it was going to be that much. I'll I'll I'll um I'll I'll give you 300 bucks for it. And he's tired of that ████ Yeah. Yeah. You could also be the normal person just make a website. That's bro, that's that's what I was going to say. >> website and they go, oh ████ it's 300 grand. Okay. >> Yeah, put the price up so you don't have to deal with No, no, no, but you guys are you guys aren't being good sales people. It's 300 grand for the Saudi prince. But when times are tough and he needs to ████ pay off his Tesla, then it's 20 grand. You know what I mean? That's That's really what it probably is. >> So the there's a really funny uh post that Joseph Kahn made. That's pretty ████ hilarious. I'll do it for $15. Right here. He says, do you want to operate a Glambot? Here's how you do it. Put your iPhone on a selfie stick, record it in slow motion, swing it at someone really
7:43 fast, stabilize it with editing software, slow it with a good app. Congrats, you just made 300k at a wedding. >> [laughter] >> Joseph Kahn said that, bro. And you can't really argue with that. If he invented it and he's a famous director, that's sick. That's pretty wild. But this is why you can't talk ████ to your customers like that. This is this exact reason why. >> Not only that, but it's blown up into a racial thing because the lady that was inquiring it was black. So now they're everyone's calling Cole like a colorist. >> it's not even just her. It seemed like everyone he talked to he's a dick. I mean it's his fault, dude. Go on his page, like you should go in comments, they're just calling him a racist and stuff. Yeah, that's Cuz cuz they're taking it as you're black, you can't afford it. Well, because yeah, because they they suspect some people believe that the reason he was acting like that is because the profile picture of the
8:33 person asking was like a black woman. And that the wedding that she was having was to like a like a like a Persian or Middle Eastern Indian guy or something. So then they're just taking that and now going, oh, that's the motivation why you're acting like that. Like people can't just be dicks. You got to like it's not good enough that they're just an ████ Yeah, it's >> I just think his tactics are ████ stupid, but I can see probably why he did it. I Yeah, I understand like a little bit of the reasoning, but like the tactics like there's also so clearly a correct answer. You know, right? There's the exact same way to suss something out without giving too much information for unique circumstance and then not like burning a bridge just in case because you're an ████ >> He's a horrible sales person. Yeah. Horrible. Yeah. And so the um Joseph Kahn also said, everyone's saying an iPhone can hit someone in the face. Yes, so can a Glambot. It's much bigger and
9:24 can kill a celebrity. Part of the mythol methodology I designed was how to space everyone from the rig to stay out of danger and set order of operations including warnings so no one gets killed. I hope they follow it. Also, it should be noted that I think a big reason why this is blowing up the way that it is is because his on-screen personality is very like effervescent and positive and bubbly. He's very like >> It's always those ████ though. Very He's like a Ellen DeGeneres kind of thing where it's like he looks like he could do no wrong kind of Not saying like he wants to be looked at as perfect, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would talk like that. >> also it's like you're on the red carpet with celebrities, so he treats them a certain way. And then when normal people are inquiring Yeah, he's >> You can't afford this ████ His nose is way up at everyone else. Like, you can't afford this. The fact that he has to mention that
10:14 It's like, yeah, we know. That's where we've only seen you was on ████ TV. Like, that's why people are hitting you up. That's why your brand is up here. You don't need to be talking to people that way. >> you because I saw you at a high school football game. Exactly, bro. >> you at the Oscars, damn. >> That's why I'm reaching out. >> I I understand that this is high level, you know, like it's not that crazy. Imagine going cuz you know like every salesperson at the LVs like start running the floor. They they're all trying to suss out rich people, right? So, imagine you walk in like just I haven't even told you the price of these things. What the ████ >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Are you sure you want to look at the bag? >> you want to come in, bro? >> [laughter] >> That's like, what the When I hear those stories of like the LV personnel was so rude to this billionaire that they came back and bought the whole store. And I'm all like >> showed them, yeah. I think they probably
11:05 did that to you cuz they were like, this ████ I'm going to ████ with their ego. And then they're like We got them to buy the whole store. I think it's just is that case of like if if you're just mean to people whether they're rich or poor or whatever like and that gets out and your normal on-screen personality people know you for is not that then it's going to be a problem, yeah. Or it's just like, hey bro, hire someone else to manage this ████ >> That's what I'm saying. Like, why don't you have a have to do it. If you're charging 300k for one event, get someone else to do that for you. If you hate talking to the people, bro. Get some send an assistant in the Philippines to do this. HE'S OUT THERE ████ FIGHTING in the emails and ████ >> the thing. I don't think it's a service. I think it's like what he believes is his service. He's the exclusive one-stop only for this type of thing. >> But it's like his ego's clearly getting in the way of everything. It's like you have He can make so much more money,
11:55 dude. Like, he's >> Why don't you be his guy? I could be the guy, bro. And then you be even meaner to people. >> I'm like, you know what, dude? I hate what you have to deal with. This is annoying. >> [laughter] >> You get a lot of DMs. But it's just like, bro, it's so snooty. It's always the perfect ones on camera, too, that are the ████ biggest dicks. >> aren't you glad we don't have to like go to any standards like that? We're already ████ off the bat. >> [laughter] >> He's plummeting his business. Like, this is this is a money maker and this dude is like he's ruining it. Wrecking his whole thing, yeah. It's like, oh, this is terrible to see. >> That's why artists make horrible salespeople and businessmen. That's true, yeah. They're all ████ like they're all ████ so pretentious. It's like, you think your ████ doesn't stink, ████ This you're A ████ YOU'RE GOT A ████ ROBOT. You didn't even invent it. Joseph Kahn's ████ invention. And that's all
12:45 you do. >> Telling me to stand on the marker and look over my shoulder. Thank you. That feels like the biggest fatality to me is that like cuz I know this that guy's been directing for a long time. Like, he's been doing a lot of >> He's like directing my friends' music videos. He's uh he was doing the whole like Miley and Mandy thing back in the But he's just known for this ████ now. >> And then for Joseph Kahn himself to step in and just rip you like that. Like, that's probably somebody he looked up to big time. Like, it's huge. Humbled his ass, dude. >> [laughter] >> That sucks, bro. He had to comment, bro. Unless you're just one of those people where it's like they noticed me. Oh, yeah. That's true. Like, at that level, too, like if freaking Kobe came back from the dead and told ████ on Kendrick, I'd be like, he said what? Really? Kobe? I heard he did. I heard he did. >> Then you should be happy. >> [laughter] >> He said, get the get my shoes off those guys.
13:35 I'd be like, he knows he called us guys. >> [laughter] >> What up, those?
