You should team up with your AI brother. Have you seen the ████ double gang? Have you seen the the guy that commented that that that looks like Ryan? I ████ thought I seriously thought that it was a AI bro. It's um Like somebody AI generated Ryan. Yeah, it's just guy that No, he's a guy that's into cars and then it looks like Ryan's brother. His name's Joseph and he's like a he's a dude that a bunch of people have always sent us to each other and then finally I was like, all right, dude.

Like a I thought a fan made an account and AI'd Ryan and this guy just works on his vintage cars. ████ close, dude. And he works on ████ cars and he loves classic cars. So I think he should be the one like restoring, fixing and you sell the car and then you guys would be the Ryan Auto Shop. really similar and he's a really good sense of humor. He would be funny on It might be like separated brothers or some ████ dude. That's probably yeah. Is he Filipino or Indian? He said he's super mixed. Is he older than you? I I don't know. Cuz if he's older than you, I'm convinced that you're looking like him more than he looks like you. Like he's your older brother, dude. Yeah. This is crazy. Right? Doesn't it

4:14 look like a fan AI'd that ████ Yeah, that makes sense cuz you said your dad used to be crazy back in the day. Imagine how many ladies That would make him crazy like a year before I was born, though. And he's gay, too. And I'm gay. Yeah, and you're so that's that's pretty crazy. That's the more defining factor. I would be a I'll be a plumber. A welder, yeah. You'd be a plumber. But you're you're you're kind of already doing that right now, though. But it's not making money. I'm not making money off of it. I'm just Are you doing plumbing right now? No, I'm not. What about welding? I've been welding lately. Like as a hobby? Can we see some of your welds? Yeah, it's outside. No, like you don't have any photos of That's all you got? That you did that weld like 6 months ago. What do you mean 6 months ago?

5:04 Well, like he's like 2 years older than you or something. It's also the same style and the mustache. Yeah, the same style is weird. Is he Omicron as well? That's also a photo that that already existed. So he didn't take that to look like me. Now, that's cool. Can we see some of your welding? Yeah. That's a car. Yeah, I welded the bumper. The whole bumper? He wants to see your ████ Me and my buddy welded Let's see your welds, though, dude. Yeah, all my welds? Yo, that ████ ugly, bro. I don't know. What do you think What do you think we want to see? So you just have welding. You just have a passion for welding? You know I you know what it is? I just hate waiting on people and then cuz I was supposed to pay someone for my bumper, but he was just like either it was either $1,500 or or or yo, not till next

5:57 month and I was just Jerking you around. No, it's not it wasn't the same guy. I'm just saying general. Those are the answers I would get back and I was just like, yo, you know what? I hate waiting for it. I hate you know, I was just like I'm impatient. So I was just like I'm going to do it I'm going to learn and I'm going to do it myself. And the idea of welding whatever you can do whatever you want and fixing things. I was like that's a you know what I mean? I was like, why not? So I just that's that's what So you like doing it? I like doing it. What about Hey, what about pressure washing? That's cool. That's really cool on Tik Tok. The driveway ones where they just clean it. Yeah, that is really cool. Those are sick. But those guys are messing up the market because they're like, can I just do yours for free? And I'm like, what the ████ Now I can't get into this for money. Well, Tik Tok's paying them. What about the carpet cleaner guy? Those also look really fun. So satisfying. So satisfying. I kind of want to at least try one. It's going to

6:47 be I mean it's a lot of work. Let's do pressure washing. See, that's my idea. You do the work. He's the ideas guy. David So, Joseph. David So, Joseph. 90% of the income. 90% of the money. No, no, no, no, no. Split split skis. No, actually 70 cuz he's a lot of labor. Would you ever want to go back into dry cleaning? No. [Laughter] But it's what you know like the back of your hand. Owning a laundromat is different from dry cleaning completely. No, you wouldn't want to own a dry cleaners? No. Do you know everything about dry cleaning? No, not everything. I was a kid for most of it. you do you know how to do it all? I know how to do most of it. cleaning. That's my idea and then you work there. You probably know exponentially more than like the average person. You probably fold like a ████ though. Laundromat Do you think is more profitable than a Laundromat is I think way more profitable and way less liability. Like coin laundry? Yeah, coin

7:37 laundry. Because at the end of the day you're just engineering and fixing and maintaining machines. Everybody else is doing their own work. But what if there's a homeless guy pooping in the corner of your laundromat? Yeah, what about that? Yeah, that's a big problem. So like whatever job that you are about to suggest later, a homeless guy pooping in your situation, too. How about would you ever want to go back to sales the way that you used to before? Nah, that ████ made me look at you it was soul sucking. Yeah. Like you're just you're just like, do you have a dollar sign on your forehead? If not, you're wasting my time today. I like sales. And there's a homeless guy pooping in the corner, too. He's the ideas guy, too. [Laughter] Well, that's what inspires him. He needs to Sometimes you have the best ideas when you're in the bathroom.

8:27 I want to poop in the Empire State Building. One day that's where I'm going to poop. Yeah, that's what that's what the movie would be. You know what the soul sucking version of just money like hungry stuff that I would go into, though, if I like didn't do anything I was doing today, it would be things like day trading. Oh, for sure. Really? I could see that. Right? Like just stocks? Yeah. Yeah, but like that's stocks, futures, like options, like literally not thinking about like long-term capital gains on stable ████ ETFs because I'm going to buy this right now. Once it pops 20% I'll sell it. Yeah, like Buy sell sell buy buy. Just making moves and stuff. But would it be the kind where you're trying to work at a like a firm? Nah, I don't think so. You would still just be an entrepreneur, then. Yeah, just in my own like because I think I think that's the only ironic part of the

9:17 you know, the lifestyle that we've all given ourselves. It's like our own freedom and our choice. So the idea of needing to clock in to do something at a certain caliber as other people as well, I think that energy is not exactly fun. Yeah. I think being on the floor of Wall Street would be a riot. I think yeah, for a little bit. Oh, I think I could do it, dude. Forever? Oh, yeah. Well, I would know what I I would that would be my idea and then he would do it. That means he's ████ in the corner. I would love to work like for that vintage thing rather than if I couldn't do sales, I would like to do marketing for it. Vintage cars? Yeah, for like Gateway Classics dealerships cuz there's there there's a chain dealership. There's just all over the place. Surprised you don't already side hustle that Omicron. You kind of Well, you kind of already do marketing. Yeah, with your own cars. Well, yeah, that's that's where I feel like it would probably be advantageous

10:07 to like go to a place like that. And I think if I really had to, that would be what I would do. You're really good at that. I would just apply it like a crap load of things in marketing positions cuz they're everywhere. I feel like the biggest scam on the whole earth is insurance, so I'd probably do something in insurance. It's the biggest It's such an obvious Which kind of Which kind of insurance? There's so many, too. So, you have a job in anything. All of them, ████ life insurance, every insurance. You know which one I'd do I'd do fire insurance in California cuz you just say deny, deny, deny, deny, deny. You know which one I would do? If I would go to like the most affluent like area and just do pet insurance. Pet insurance good? Pet insurance good? Cuz people don't skimp on their pets when they're rich. They don't skimp on it at all. Yeah, yeah, that's Also, you know what else I'd be super down to get into? I'd be down to get my real estate license. Yo, real estate? Really?

10:58 I think I can sell houses. But it's a bad time right now. You should've done that before you bought your house. My realtor didn't say that. All the real estate agents are They they have so many. I think I can sell houses. But there's more realtors than there are house listings, isn't there? Probably. I think I can sell a house. My buddy's listing ████ all the time. It's cuz people are ████ promoting on Instagram saying to become a realtor, I can show you guys how. How are you going to beat all the bottle service girls out of getting it, though? Yep. They're hot. I'm pretty sure I can sell ████ houses. Dude, dude, you you guys seen the the show ████ Selling Sunset? Yeah. What's that? You like Do you like that show? I love that show. I don't I love that show, too. Yeah. Oh, what is such garbage, dude. Oh my god. Is it just literally selling houses on Sunset? It Yeah, it's

11:48 It's all these hot ████ selling houses, and then they work for these two like little Italian goombas. Like all day, the guys just sit around these beautiful women and like the chicks sell houses, and then they get to come down on them about nitpicky stupid ████ so they can still feel above them. It's the best show. The drama, dude. It's honestly maybe the best show I've ever watched. When they have those episodes where they're all at the couch and it's like the mega episode. Those are so fun. It's the best. It's really good show. It's incredible show. By the way, figure this one out. It's It's been It has eight seasons, but it's only been out since 2019. ████ We need more. We need more. We need more. Dude, because they now they have the different branches. They have the OC one, too. They're filming like three seasons a year, dude. Dude, it's it's all realtor and you know, real estate money. That place is right by him, too. And now they had to

12:39 cover it with hedges. You know the office? Well, cuz yeah, I'd be standing in the wind I'd be in the window ████ beating into those HOTTIES IN THERE. UH Or you know what I would like to do, too, is is we always talked about it like owning an auto shop. Hell, yeah. That would be cool. Just a regular mom and pop service shop. Just doing oil changes all day. Yeah, just putting back the Cali converts we stole. Scanning old ladies. $120 oil changes. Hell, yeah. People come in with a check engine light, you're like, yep, it's going to cost you. And then one day a YouTuber catches you. Oh, no. Cuz they're They wanted to see how honest you were. I think that would be pretty fun because Also, it it seems like a I don't know ████ about it, but at least the entry point doesn't seem as risky because you can buy a lot of shops better stopping. Do you watch ChrisFix? He's It's a really cool YouTube channel.

13:30 I've seen him. He just fixes cars in front of his house. I know you're talking about I don't watch it, though. Yo, this is how you can I watch Scotty Kilmer. Oh, that guy. That's my generation. The old dude? Yeah. Dude, I watch him, too. What about the hedges guys? The guys who are like, hey, your lawn looks pretty ████ up. Let me um cut your lawn. Landscaper? Still ████ tight. It's tight. Still tight. I like the I like the power pressure washer. washers looks more fun. Is it tight because you see the end result? You don't Yeah, it's only 90 seconds of work. What do I care? And then he's the one getting contracts. And it looks like a Mario Party game when you're doing it. Dude, I know a guy that all he does is like he's the dispatcher. He He's the sales guy for plumbing and then he gets the jobs and he sends people out. 25 to 30 grand a month. A dispatcher? Jesus. Well, he doesn't dis He's a It's a

14:20 sales. He's a Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Does he own the business? No. Oh, wow. He just He arranges, he makes the sales, and then he sends out the job and all that stuff. Yeah. You know what's You know what's a really good insurance racket since you're into this? Yeah, love insurance. A friend of mine does She sells malpractice medical malpractice insurance to doctors. And of course That already sounds like a scam. Well, yeah, because they all need to have it, but then it's very competitive where you're like, well, if you go with us, we'll cover you for this much and we'll, you know, you'll get better coverage on these areas. But then the whole game is different. For her, she's just wooing them. Like she's a hot girl. Obviously, you'll want to like hear her out and then they'll sign with her. My new favorite one is home title insurance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the best one. Cuz it's Well, cuz it's like, hey,

15:10 so maybe you're like 65 years old or like 75 years old and you're more likely to get tricked by people. Well, so what people do is sometimes People like us. Sometimes people will swoop in and say they use a duplicate home title and then they sell your house from under you. Yeah, so they go, we're going to make sure that doesn't happen. Oh my god. So, you're solving a problem that hasn't even hasn't even happened to him yet, but it could happen if and they scare if they scare him with enough news articles about it, then seniors like, we kind of need this, baby. Oh my god. Wild ████ I think I'd be a tour guide. I could see that for you. I could definitely see that. In feudal Japan. Yes. Showing people around feudal Japan. All this ████ that I know, and then it's like the experience will be different.

16:00 Dude, you should Your employer is going to fire you because like you're making ████ up, Joe. You know You know what You know what my Omicron idea would be, though? I'd become a timeshare sales guy, but I would also own the company that helps you get rid of your timeshare. That's genius. That's dope. That's genius. Cuz you know You know those are around now? Companies that help you alleviate your your timeshare thing where you're stuck in. So, you get them to sign, but then you also get them to unsign. And then I just put on a different hat.
