0:00 And honestly, if they just lifted weights, there's no no package that should be you can't handle. Honestly, all the people What are you ordering that's like 300 lb in a box? Weights. Not true. You can go to Bart's house and make a delivery service. He should order weights. And what's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Campfire Boys. CB. You know, it's And nothing against you. I miss Steve. I do, too. I feel like we haven't seen him in a while. Yeah, where is he at? Is he gone this whole month? No. He's so sick. He's at his brother's wedding or something. coming next week. Yeah, he's coming He's coming next week, but he has If Huh? Feels like he hasn't been here in a while. Like 2 months. Well, he wasn't here last time you guys
0:50 shot? No. So, when he skips 2 weeks, that's a whole month. Yeah. It does feel like a long time. Damn. That's almost a month and a half, because he's still going to skip the other week. Do you miss him roasting you and making random stabs, especially when you're at your most vulnerable point, and you talk about something really deep and share something personal, and he like you jiu-jitsus it to where he's choking you the ████ out with your own things that you decided to open up with? I don't think he misses him now. Yeah, totally. That's that's why I miss Steve. That's cool, because he loves the pain. I also miss Steve because um I mean, let's let's admit, anybody who's in crypto right now, we're getting crushed. Oh, we're We're scooping the bottom, brother. I thought it was a great time. It's at 79. I haven't even seen it. Oh, it's at 79 right now? Yeah. Or at ish. Like, we're we're in the if
1:41 Bitcoin doesn't hold 80K at the end of this week, like, we're probably for real back in the bear. Oh, so we didn't even have a real bull market bull bull run? That's great. We never had an alt season. But that's Yeah, that's That's sometimes you need you know, the big white polar bear here to just like hug us. going to be okay. When when stuff like that happens to you, does does Nina get mad at you or anything? No, she don't know jack ████ about it. Oh, she doesn't I don't show her my financial wins or my losses. Cuz she'll have a heart attack, huh? Yeah, to preserve her purity of life. Wow. And do you do your financials or is it our financials? Uh she has her financials, I have my financials, and then we have our financials. I do my financials, I do our financials, and then I talk to her about her financials, but I can't make any calls on them.
2:31 Does she have any crypto in her financials? She has like really really small stuff, little stuff just for fun. Yeah. Like her dad was like going crazy on XRP. Right. And I capped on like, you know, every family gathering has to be like, "Do you know XRP?" And that's going to be one of the like legit ████ reserve coins, no? That's that's the conversation every holiday party, right? Yeah. Um and then And And then, you know, she's hitting me up. She's like, "My dad keeps on saying I should buy some XRP." And I was like, "Honestly, I know you're not going to do your research, but like who gives a ████ about like a hundred bucks? Just put it in there and then ride it with your dad, whether it's to the ground or up, just so that it's fun. You know, like Just to have a thing. Yeah, just just to be like you you participated with your dad, and then if you both lose, that's you lost a hundred bucks and that's funny for the rest of
3:22 your life, though, you know? So, if Bitcoin doesn't hold 80 by the end of this week, we got to wait another four years? Maybe two years. ████ ████ It's a report. Report forever now. Cuz it cuz it's all about the weekly close, right? So, like even though like it dipped to like 72 or 73 at some point this week, but it bounced back up because, you know, depending on how you look at like the tariffs and choices and macroeconomy stuff, it's like as long as it holds, you know, the and bounces, like we're still okay. Did you see this thingamajigger today? Did I see the thingamajigger today? Yep. It was about I forgot what it was, but it was a certain marker and they said um every like 100% of the time this index, whatever that ████ thingamajigger is called, when it crosses 1% you have a uh two, I think to five-year
4:15 bull run in the stock market. And it just crossed over 1% today. Mhm. So, maybe that's a good sign. I love I love that this is being told by you on thingamajiggers and whatever the ████ it is. I'm not smart like these people. I don't know these things. I just read random things and then I remember half of what I read. Is it like a But I remember the feeling and the feeling is pew. Are you talking about Are you talking about like indicators inside of like the TradingView? Like the I don't know what you're talking about. my money Take the Take your money out of crypto and put it in regular stocks? No, no, no, but so crypto is reflective like in stocks. They're very like they kind of run similarly. So, if that happens, there's more confidence in the economy, then ████ will start going back into everywhere, you know? Did you guys scoop anything while they were on sale? Did you guys get any stocks? got no money right now.
5:05 Yeah, I can't I can't afford to put anything in anything. Dude, just put your I did I did some scoops and I was like kind of happy with it because my mom she recently was like and she don't know jack ████ about finance stuff, right? To the point where anytime she like kind of brings something up cuz me and my dad will be like randomly talking about stuff, she'll just be like She's like uh so if I give you money, can you buy some stocks for me? And then my dad's just like Damn, like that? He just gives that ████ And And for me, I'm there like on the one hand, I'm like damn, I really kind of don't want to jump into that hole. Nah, yeah. But on the other hand, like again, not to be like overly morbid, but like my parents are getting old, so I kind of I'm like I'm open to almost anything. I'm just like down to just like like if if this is another avenue of connection,
5:55 regardless, like I don't actually give two ████ right? That's how you do it, good son. And you know, they they have like insane ideas all the time. You can only entertain some of them. This one I'm like this is like low-key practical, so I'm like really thinking. I'm like, "Okay, what would be realistic?" I'm not going to put her in some like tech AI rate. Oh, she doesn't even tell you which stocks. No, she don't know she don't know anything about it. Some good sales, I know. She's just sitting there with random cash that she got from like illegally driving Vietnamese people to and from LAX or whatever, you know. Illegally? It's legal. It's legal. She's like a Vietnamese taxi. It's legal, guys. You know how that ████ is, you know? Um so so she'd be like randomly sitting on some cash. And and so she'd be like she wants to do something with because you know, she's watching me and my dad talk about little investment stuff from time to time and she's like, "Oh, I got to do something with my cash cuz I'm just sitting there with it." She's like
6:45 Is the Boy Scouts a publicly traded company? I don't know. I don't think so. She's like, "I really want to you know, I really want you to buy some stocks." And she says this like six times over dinner, so finally Oh, she really be like Yeah, so so it's serious. So I'm like, "Okay, so I have to think practically." And I'm like, "All right, if I'm going to do anything, I have to do like the most basic 101 stocks concept for her." Like it's her first type of investment. Like S&P 500? Yeah, exactly. So put it put it into like SPY, you know, an index fund that follows the uh S&P 500 so that regardless of whatever whatever, right? And then it's ironic that this happened like literally a few days ago that she wanted me to do this. And I'm like, "Okay, the tariffs happened. Everything drops. Yeah. Prices are low. That's when you buy it. Yeah, so I'm like She gets mad at you. So I'm like, "I guess this is a great time to scoop up some S&P 500 for her."
7:36 You know, good old ████ Donnie did tell us. Yeah, and he's like, "I would buy some right now." Dude, it went down and just a few days later, boom, right back up. I told everyone to buy. So I did I did scoop so ironically in a day she's already up like you know anywhere from 6 to 10% depending on like market fluctuations. Nice. Um but I don't tell her that. You're a genius investor. I don't tell her that you know what I mean because that's it's a long play, right? Yeah, so when she's ready to retire you go here you go mom. And then I only give her her money back and I go like oh it just kind of went up and down. I didn't really make much. No gains. Yeah. It's been a volatile 10 years. Yeah. Damn 10 years of nothing. Dude, be like I bought you something and it's a freaking another dry cleaners. Dude, I had a good luck running it. That's crazy. Damn. That's crazy. That's really ironic you say that. This is such a random anecdote but yesterday while I was driving them
8:27 around um my mom randomly reflected and remembered she said whoa we sold the dry cleaners 10 years ago. Wow. Wow. So what did they do after they sold the dry cleaners? Well in quote unquote retirement where my dad started collecting social security and stuff like that he also started Ubering and doing Lyft. Um so he still does that. And your mom does illegal if Lyft allegedly. Illegal Lyft? It's just the underground one. You know like you remember before like Uber even in K-town there would be that thing where it's just like cuz they knew everybody was driving. My mom gets that all the time cuz she doesn't know how to use Uber. Yeah, exactly. The Korean one it's always a lighter and a phone number on a lighter. Exactly. It's basically that. It's just like a word of mouth thing so that people can and you look up what like Uber's charging at that time or whatever fares are and then it's just the price under it. Wow, that's tight. Cuz Uber's expensive in LA.
9:18 That ████ adds up quick. Really expensive, yeah. It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. So we need Asian Uber. Does your pops drive out here? Yeah. To make extra moolah or he drives in the OC-ish area more? I think a lot of airport stuff happens all the time. What if he took you But then but then it's mainly like OC and everything like that but then airport happens all the time so the second you're already here and it's in your schedule or whatever, you might choose to still pick up a ride and then it might take you to like the greater Los Angeles area and then you're like, "Okay, I need to go home for lunch and blah blah blah." But it's like you know what's weird though? Like now like it's really important for me to go home and like make sure they go on walks and stuff like that. Because now his lifestyle is sitting down Oh. So much. Got to work out though. And so like now more than ever his belly is just like you could tell that that's like a I sit down for 8 hours a day belly. Damn. So, it's like you have to proactively be
10:08 like, "I'm going to do a fitness experience. I'm not generically walking cuz I Cuz you know at the dry cleaners back in the day, you're up and about the whole ████ day. Whether it's like moving clothes here, pressing this clothes here, making deliveries and putting stuff in the van, going talking to customers. Getting hella steps in. Yeah, you're getting mad steps or you're just standing at least, you know? So, you like and you're in a steam environment. So, you're kind of like low-key steam sauna. But like now he's just in his car listening to classical music for his customers, sitting there with AC, and then that's like his entire existence. He needs to do ████ high rocks or some ████ Probably see that ████ everywhere, huh? Take the seat back out of his chair. So, he has to squat. use his core. I'm like, "Can you hold a kettlebell like this while you drive?" Just out of the window. Change the pressure Change the pressure
10:58 on his acceleration pedal. He's got to really step on it. Take out power steering. Yeah, dude. Oh my god. crazy Yeah. Yeah, it's just a different time. Parents getting old is like, "Wow." I know it is wild, man. Yep. Yeah, my dad's still not retired. He's 77. Damn. Woah. But he likes his job, right? His I think that's what's keeping him alive. Yeah, you got You got to do something. He straight up says it all the time. He's like, "Dude, I would die." He would die too and he says it I'd be I'd die if I was at home with mom. That's exactly what he says cuz like, you know, my mom's kind of naggy and then if they're just like in there together all day, like he would kill himself. Bro, you just got to go do stuff. But a lot of dudes do die after retirement, like really quick. Cuz you're not doing ████ It's also the feeling of not having a purpose. Purpose. I think that's the biggest thing. Yeah. Cuz I feel like if if you retire, but
11:49 then you got like a farm or some ████ you still have purpose. Right, yeah. I think it's that feeling. Plus like my dad's been at the same job for so many years. He's like the freaking big man on campus there, and then everybody loves him. So to remove yourself from that to just be at home relaxing, I think it would just of think the perfect balance would actually be you retire when you have like kids, and then when the kids grow up, and then they go out into the world, then you then you start working again. Mhm. Not like cuz it doesn't make any sense to have all this ████ free time, and then there's no kids, there's nobody in the house. Then it's almost as like you're like a bored teenager. Yeah. So then it's like if that that that would be a pretty interesting kind of like you work from your teens all the way to like let's say yeah, that moment where you're
12:40 about to start a family, and then from that like yeah. And then when the kids are going to school, then you can start working. Like a a part of me fantasizes about like starting, but you know, you kind of low-key need ████ money for this, but like starting like a small business that really it's not about the profits, but it's about giving my parents something. of old couples do that together. They go open like a cafe or a bar. Dude, coffee shops are probably a good spot. But then they they underestimate the stress. Like that s███'s a lot of work. like if if you really if it's like, you know, you got ████ money, and you really it's not about any of that, then you just only focus on like what's just like fun. Cuz that's just like my like my dad came to stay at my my house in Vegas, and then I'm waking up he wakes up butt early. I wake up, I go downstairs, and he's already like he's like, "Your chairs are loose." and he's like, you know, screwing everything and
13:30 next thing you know, he's on chair number like nine, you know, cuz you got like the bar stool chairs and then you got like the dining table chairs and he's like, "Why is everything so loose at your house?" Because I knew he was coming so I loosened it up for him. Get him to work out. Loosen everything. to loosen everything. It took forever. Can't just have my task rabbit do everything. Yeah. But you know, Oh, did he hit the weights with your pops? Dude, I try but there's no way. Like, I feel like walking and then if anything, Even the bar, you think? Does he like going on hikes, too? Like, he can't do hikes hikes anymore. He get tired? Endurance. Yeah, now he gets like tired and stuff. Take him on ████ Mac Fox bikes. That'll be crazy. My dad is uh 70. 70? Damn. But like, that's the thing though, like I think things like Uber rapidly declined his physicality.
14:21 For sure. The sedentary part. Well, dude, you see truck drivers, anyone that drives for a living, do you see their body deteriorate really quickly. He should join a karate club. Yeah. Yeah, what what's like the perfect old person job I wish he was doing something more like um like a mailman or even UPS. Or like a supermarket Cuz then you drive, but then you still have to like get up and out and then you UPS drivers, they're the most fit ████ I've ever seen. They look good, man. Especially when they're older, yo. But then when you're older, isn't it bad to lift heavy things? With improper technique, right, Bart? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just come on, dog. But they're not picking up things over 50 pounds. Yeah. Maybe a floater would be a good job. Cuz they got soft hands? Yeah. And honestly, if they just lifted weights, there's no no package that should be you can't handle. Honestly, all the people What are you ordering that's like 300 pounds in a box?
15:12 Weights. That's true. You go to Bart's house, you make a delivery to He's just ordering weights. Like everything is like 50 pounds or under, you know? Like you should be able to pick that up like nothing. Yeah, but for heavy stuff don't they have like those carts anyway? Like that lift it for you? Cuz most heavy ████ comes on pallets anyways, dude. Like you would never touch a UPS dude. That's true. Oh, that's true. Yeah, I want to like give my dad like a failing business of mine to like So like it feels like he's like saving it and like he's like damn if I ████ kick the can right now my son's ████ he took over Kinesthetic? That's failing. Is it? It's alive. Like what would it What would he do with it you think? What would he do? Honestly I think he would do great things because because then it'd be like it'd be like what are we doing paying for this storage? I'll just like build these shelves and like we can put all these in our garage. Like you know it's like one of those things he's such a hoarder too.
16:02 Solutions. I feel like old people are also good at janitorial things. Yeah. Sweeping? Yeah, just like cleaning this, wiping this down, whatever and just make your rounds every hour, do whatever and then he'll at least stay active. Move around. That's something I would do like cleaning or like some sort of service like that like a maid a maid service. Okay, we're not talking about them anime cafes. You got to keep your shirt on though, Ken. Like I like folding laundry, I like cleaning, I like You like folding laundry? Yeah, I love that. You look like you like folding laundry. I will pay you for fluff and fold. And he'd do it in a maid outfit, too. I I like He'd do it in an anime maid outfit. Yeah, I'll do that. Cuz I can see myself as an old person just doing that and just You wouldn't edit? Huh? No. No, he did delete footage. No, cuz then He wouldn't delete footage as an old He'd keep editing it and then deleting it editing it deleting it. I forget.
16:52 You would rather fold clothes than eat snacks and watch a movie? Uh yeah, dude. What the hell? You'd rather fold clothes than eat your big socks? I'm working at TJ Maxx. Yeah. As an old person I think that would be a good like tidying up like I like doing that ████ now, but I could see myself if I didn't have a job I would probably go into that space. I hate tidying. I just want to make messes. Yeah, for real. I'm like I got to reorganize this? No, thanks. Maybe you guys could work together. Just follow me wherever I go. Just picking it up. But I think I need a little bit of stress. Like like or some type of challenge. I don't know if I want to completely make everything easy and chill if I'm old. Probably businesses then, cuz that's for sure you're going to get Cuz like a cafe might be chill, but it's
17:42 like a breakfast cafe, so you only do it in the morning. And then you have the rest of the day. But then it is like brick and mortar is physically difficult. Yeah. That is That is my ████ you money dream. Cafe in the morning, but bar at night. Ooh, that's cool. But brick and mortar is Wow. Dude, I think the the difficult part about it though is there's so many moving parts. It's almost like you got this ship and it's going to this destination, but there's hella holes in it and then you're trying to like plug the holes while the ship is going. That's the fun part. It ain't that fun, bro. I don't want to have any any job that pays rent. Like I would prefer to be like a surf instructor. I just park my van at the beach. If I have clients that day, sick. I teach them and I go out and teach them how to surf. If none, I don't have to worry about making rent. Cuz I
18:32 think having that overhead is the the stressful part. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean in your in your ████ you money example, there's actually a lot of businesses in Hawaii that are like you could clearly tell they're just rich kids and their parents are like here, whatever dream you want or like it's some wife of a rich person and she has like a little shop. And then like I think I think for them they don't care about the rent cuz it's the project. And I And then there's a lot of this where you just like they have no customers. Like how do they even stay alive, you know? Yeah. But it gives them something to do. satisfaction that you did it or that you feel that like this is what I do, this is who I am. Yeah. Cuz there's a lot of businesses that are like gone surfing. You know, like I I'm I'm just closed today. Why? Cuz I don't want to work. Damn. That's tight. But at that point, I don't know if they actually have ████ you money or they're
19:23 just like, "Today, I don't work." Would you know Would you be mad if you went to Junbi and your employees did that? Gone surfing. We'd actually get fined. We're a 365 business. That's what makes it difficult cuz if I want to close, I have to submit an approval from my landlord. It's a different set of rules when you can't even be Hawaiian in Hawaii? No, dude. No way. Cuz I'm in a grade A property, so you have I have a different like set of rules. to be a mainlander in Hawaii. Basically. It's Yeah, I brought LA to Hawaii. Damn.
