"Presented by indeed dot com, a matte piper in New York, voting is expected sometime tonight after a marathon day of debate on Capitol Hill on a massive spending bill. It contains funding to reduce drug and healthcare costs while spending billions to combat climate change or Scott mcfarlane is there. There are many obscure procedures here at the U.S. and it much of this bill and this day hinged on the Senate parliamentarian Democrats say the parliamentarian will allow the inclusion of this provision to try to lower the cost of prescription drugs in the legislation and to adjust the tax code to try to make it easier for people to buy electric cars and energy efficient appliances, but a marathon debate still looms. Indiana's Republican governor signs a bill into law banning most abortions. It's the first day to do so since the Supreme Court overturned roe V wade. Law professor Laurie Levinson says there are some exceptions. The law would bar abortions except in cases of rape incest and to protect the life and physical health of the mother. And she says we may see a ripple effect. You have legislators signing up to have near total abortion bans. And so the fight that we saw in the court has now become a fight in the state legislatures. The ban is set to go into effect September 15th. Stacy led CBS News. Hundreds of hotel guests trapped by flash flooding a Death Valley national park in California have been able to drive out after crews cleared a pathway through rocks and mud. Meantime in Kentucky, yet more rain is in the forecast after historic flooding there hit one week ago. John Elliott is with gleaners food bank of Indiana, which is helping state lines to help. When it's right next door that sense of it could be our turn some days even more realistic. I think part of it is that very generous, who's your spirit that we do step up, but we do volunteer to help our neighbors.

"Was that about you? Is that about you, John? I didn't watch that show. You know, I was showing Kyle. You're going to watch the first episode of that show and I realized that it was going to be too close to what I wanted to do that it was going to set expectations for me in my road map and it was like it was like warning signs started to go off in my head. Like, yo, you need to turn this off because if you even let this Hollywood version of what your actual journey is going to be like set expectations for how your experience is going to go, then you're fucked. So I didn't watch it. By the way, you're right. There was something that came out and everybody's like, have you watched this yet? And I worked on something that was going to be similar. And I go, I can't watch it. I also remember once a three 11 VHS that I had in college where they were walking around in the street, they asked this guy. It was like a street performer. I don't know if he was part of an HOA if you get my drift. But they were like, what do you listen to three 11? He goes, I don't listen to anything. They're like you're a musician. You don't listen to anything, and he was like, no, why would I do that? He's like, I don't want. I make my own music. I don't know. So similarities there, we're all thinking upstairs. Kyle, did you have any questions? Are you going to have something here? Because I know that you'd like maybe step your game up a little bit, but you're on the thick double seaside, you know? I can't fit in some of the genes myself, you know, so I'm not judging, but go ahead, Kyle. So the first guy was like, his stats are pretty close to mine, minus the balding, and I'm not as old as him. So that's that's kind of good. Big fan of Harley-Davidson. Love there, love Harley-Davidson, like the like the button up shirts and all that stuff. Is that weird if I don't ride motorcycles? Seems like it's pretty bad for the life expectancy. Is that weird? Should I find something else also can I fit in your stuff? You got two X. First to answer the last question, we do have two X go, check out the website. With appreciate that. And then, you know, Harley-Davidson is, no, it's not weird at all, because if you think about it, Harley-Davidson is such an incredible brand. I guarantee you they sell more pencils and t-shirts and mugs than they sell bikes. But people buy that because they have, you know, it's like the Oakland Raiders. It's the same kind of brand. It stands for something. It signifies an attitude. So you know, if that's what you're into, then no, I think that's, you know, that's all good. I'm basically just getting tired of saying no, when dude, that's me if you ride. I think I might just start to lie and I just need to know the specs of my imaginary bike. But my brother just get you a bike to keep this Kyle thing going. Like that part of veg where Kent is like part of a weekend gang, I never like, well save it for later brothers. I want all this to happen. So let's focus on the bike and keep wearing the shirts. So Rudy, did you have a question? Because I know so Rudy's got a little European thing going on. No, actually, I want to circle back on something he said before. So I just bought a pair of the Nike blazer mid 77s, which I'm obsessed with, but John, you're telling me that I can't wear those with the jogger sweatpants and that's kind of what I've been rocking. So what am I not a good look? Look, you're headed on a good path. All you got to do is just switch it out for some low tops. I think, you know, the balance of if you think about it, the taper and the leg and then it expands back out for me personally someone who spends a lot of time doing this, I think the lower profile shoe is probably a smarter way to go. But that's just my two cents. Are we talking like a sneaker? What are we talking when you say that? I think, you know, a court shoe. So something like, you know, a common project or a vintage Nike. You could even if you wanted to go like, I wouldn't suggest bands 'cause that is kind of puts you in mall territory, but something in like that shape. Okay, fair. So what do I do with my Nike lashes? I just bought these things. I thought I was cool. That's all you need. No, no, that's where you need to grab a pair of denim. That's perfect. That's perfect. For jeans, I think that works with cargo pants. Anything oversized with some pockets, you're good there. Good, okay. See, now we're warmed up, guys are letting it fly. What are some other things you see from okay, what's your stance on over 40 and you're like, hey, dude, you're kind of older now. Because I have some stuff that's definitely younger. People don't seem to think I'm as old as I am, which I'm not quite sure if that's a compliment or an insult. Depends on the week I guess. But there's in LA thing too where I've noticed I go, these guys are 60 and they're just in their 25 years old. So it's way more acceptable here. Northeast, you get punched in the face, but it seems like the boundaries are being pushed of how old you can be to wear a younger stuff. Where.

"Some knowledge in my background in terms of logo website, et cetera, we may even have a connection who lives down the street from my mother to produce on a larger scale than just her. My question is, the on logo website trying to blast you should on social media bugger your friends to share it. What are good early moves you're getting it off the ground. Advisable sources of funding thoughts on trying to go genderless and environmental environmentally responsible. I want to be a part of a better standard of business, a better business person whose goals extend beyond merely profits, but also into setting an example of how responsible practice can be viable business. Any advice would be appreciated. That's a lot. I would say narrow the scope down a little bit. You know, you know, you don't need to no need to solve every issue all at once. I think, you know, the fact that you have something that makes you feel good that you get compliments on that showcases your creativity when you're when you're out. That's your spark. So I would say make another jacket for yourself. And start to share it. And, you know, chase your curiosities, but don't worry about, you know, I think the sustainability aspect of fashion is like an incredibly important element of where the industry needs to go. But when you're first starting out, you don't even truly have a business plan yet and you kind of been struck with this spark of creativity. Don't give yourself reasons to not get going. Just go. That's what I would say. So there's a lot there that feel like barriers to entry. I would say just continue to create. I think you clearly have some resources between your family and the people around you that would give you kind of a head start, you know, almost over a lot of people, and that's amazing. So chase that continued to create and see what happens. But don't get hung up in like these existential questions I could keep you up at night and take you away from your focus. Good answer. I like that. Narrow the focus at first. But I like that he was thinking about all these different things. I imagine when you're just as a designer, you drive around and you think of things constantly. And then maybe you bring it back to your manufacturers. There's going to be a line where they go, hey, John, somebody's going to wear this man. Somebody's actually going to wear this. You can definitely, you can go crazy. I mean, I'll never forget I was driving down Los in this guy, just like, it was like unreal the way this guy cut me off. It was like he just didn't give a fuck. And he was driving a Bentley and he had like the license plate wrap that said like something yacht club. And I was like, oh my God. This guy fucking has a yacht as well. This guy is a member of a fucking yacht club, and it was like so hysterical to me that this guy just this is the way he lived his life that I just, you know, literally getting cut off in traffic, turned into this idea of like, huh, you know, what is the Pinnacle of luxury? It's like watching water. That is the Pinnacle of what we all strive to do when we're on vacation. Just sit there and watch water. And so I came up with this imaginary yacht club and I, you know, basically did a whole collection with all these like bouncy silks and kind of reflective fabrics and whatnot. And it was a runway smash. It didn't sell very well, but yeah, that was definitely a time where, you know, you can take a real life instance and build a world around it. And that particular case, it wasn't terribly commercial, but, you know, I learned from it. I enjoyed that part of the story as much as any of this just because it's so different. I would hope people that are listening to this appreciate it and be like, wow, that's how that guy got to all these different places. All right, so another email here is from this one says nephew Kyle. And it says how to make an America was fucking awesome. There's no there's no Kyle. Do you want to get in here? That wasn't me, that it was awesome, but that was not me. Was that about you? Is that about you, John? I didn't watch that show. You know, I was showing Kyle. You're going.

"You want details? I drive a Ferrari, three 55 cabriolet. What's up? I have a ridiculous house in the south fork. I have every toy you can possibly imagine. And best of all kids, I am liquid. So now you know what's possible. Let me tell you what's required. You never know what's going to happen when you're just sitting in bed trying to fall asleep and you're scrolling and then Instagram's like maybe Priscilla will like this hoodie. And I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I think we all know that. And then I remember I saw this one. I was like, I think I really like that. And then I forgot what it was. And I was mad I didn't screen grab it, and then it magically found me. It found me months later, and it was a hoodie from John Elliot, which I think is some of the coolest clothing out. This is a little different. It's not normally what we do, but the founder John joins us now and I hit him up and made a joke about one of the pieces of clothing and he hit me right back up and said he knew about the show. So we're going to talk a little bit about him and we're going to do some life advice at the end. So good morning, man. Thanks for doing this. Hey, absolute pleasure to be on. It's an honor. Thank you, thank you for obviously supporting the brand and thanks for the invite. Happy to be here. Okay, so when did you know, because I don't know, I'm out of my depths on this one on the fashion side of things, although I have a million questions because I don't understand everything about it. Some of us like our close ones don't like her clothes. As a young kid, what were you like? I mean, I was obsessed with the NBA. I was, you know, I was young. My formidable years were really informed by skateboarding, the fab 5, Michael Jordan, then fast forward into teenage years, Allen Iverson kind of burst onto the scene, still playing baseball, delino de shields is like kind of has, you know, interesting style up in Montreal and these were guys that were like on my wall. I saw, you know, guys who I grew up in San Francisco, guys who had signed, you know, shoe deals with large skateboard companies, kind of break off and start their own companies and next thing you know, these guys are doing better than how they were doing sign to the big corporations. And it just kind of lightbulb went on off for me super early that that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to start my own fashion apparel company. So how does that start? How do you go from, hey, this is something I want to do. Like, you went and worked somewhere else first, correct? Yeah, yeah. So I mean, from a really early age, I knew that this is what I was most interested in. In fact, I was like, I think my favorite athlete when I was really young was Bo Jackson. And I felt like, you know, Nike, although the bow campaigns were obviously incredible and very memorable and left an impact on culture, I felt like he was kind of never, you know, he played. He played in the NFL and the MLB. And to me, that was like, you know, he should be at the same level as Jordan. So I think when I was 8, I started sketching sneakers and my mom was like, yeah, you should send them to Nike. And so I sent them a bunch of designs, you know, 8 year old scribble. And Nike actually replied. And I saved that leather and that was kind of like, oh my God, like if Nike would actually spend the time to write back to me, then I just started to become really curious about what my point of view and what my kind of what my world would look like in this big industry. So yeah, I mean, I found my favorite store in San Francisco, went begged them for a job. It was mostly for the discount. And you know, that was in my early 20s. And that's how I started. So how did the John Elliott brand begin? I mean.

"So it's focus. It's stoicism saving more than you spend. It's diversification, and then it's letting time take over. So the good news is I absolutely know how to get you rich. The bad news is the answer is slowly. And we all think we're going to kill it and have the big payday. I hope you're right, but just in case just in case, you know, chart a path towards financial security. Figure out a way that you're going to have a million bucks by the age of 50, no matter what happens. And if you start at 22, the path is pretty visible. It's okay. I'm going to save a hundred bucks a month. For the first year, then a 150 bucks a month. And by the time of 25, I'm going to be saving a thousand bucks a month. And by the time I'm 30, I'm going to be, you know, you can get there. You can absolutely get there. And don't do what I did and assume I'm so fucking talented that it's some time it'll start at some point it'll start raining money when I sell a company or I take it public. That is a really dangerous strategy. So I think there's absolutely a way to get there. I think a lot about it. I think it's important to have a code of values. My values are capitalism. I work hard. I value money. I like spending it. I like making it. I like competition. I think capitalism is wonderful. Stoicism until basically the age of 40, I didn't really spend money. I just saved almost everything. I didn't, I didn't really need it, and I just worked all the time, and I tried to be fairly unemotional about it. And then finally, atheism for me is really motivating. I think at some point I'll look into my son's eyes and know that our relationship is coming to an end and it's very empowering for me. I care less about making mistakes. I'm more aggressive. I'm more forthcoming with my emotions with people I care about. I take more risks. I'm not afraid of public failure, which is key to being an entrepreneur because I realize we're all going to be dead soon. So you have to have a code. There's an algebra of wealth, and then there's a code. Everybody needs a code. What are the things that guide you and set your kind of set your path if you will? Before we finish up, I got two things here. One is, I don't know if it ends up making you unpopular when you point this out because I appreciate how much you have shared with us like, hey, these are the advantages I had and I'm not going to die because it's real. So we don't even have to debate it. But now as we've shifted to present day, you've brought this up that younger men, the numbers are telling you, like younger men right now, the odds don't seem to be in their favor. Is that fair? The way you've presented it? 100%, so just as I was born with the right outdoor plumbing and the right the right gender and the right ethnicity, the reality is, if you look at the numbers now, men are failing, and nobody want no one's favorite special interest group, no one looks at young men and thinks they're oppressed, but the reality is if you look at the numbers, young men are struggling and failing when we were talking about college. And the next 5 years for every one male graduate of college that will be too female graduates. They're more prone to addiction, higher incarceration rates, higher overdose rates, in addition, while that's not a big deal, if women finally have their opportunity to get more college degrees, good for them, 7 to ten high school valedictorians or girls, so they deserve to get in. The problem is there are some really second or pretty big second order effects here, and that is the scariest stat I saw this year. Was that in 2008, pew does this study on youth? The number of men under the age of 30 who had had never had sex was 8%, and people hear the term sex and their brain goes to different places. Think of it as a key step to establishing a long-term relationship. It was 8% in 2008, 8% of men under the age of 30 were virgins. In 2019, it was 28%. It's probably one in three now. So when you walk down the avenue that is America, there's two women for every one man that have a college degree and half and a third of the men under the age of 30 have never had sex. Okay, why is that bad? It's bad because the most violent unstable societies in the world produce too many of one cohort, and that is young, lonely, broke men. And we are producing too many of them. And the reality is women mate horizontally and up and men made horizontally and down. Women with college degrees aren't interested in mating with men without college degrees, so we're creating a generation of loneliness and we're creating a generation of men with a top 10% get to engage in Porsche polygamy. They're having 80% of the sex, and the bottom 50% in terms of attractiveness of men have absolutely no mating opportunities. And I think that's bad for society. So I would argue and I spent a lot of time coaching young men. I would argue that young men almost more than any group, more even more Latin men attend college now proportionally versus white men. A lot more women are girls, and I say girls, you know, 17 year old boys and girls are attending college than men and double the number of graduates. So I think there is an emerging crisis around cohort that is failing and that is young men. All right, final thought here because I announced the show this week that we were having you on and they said, hey, make sure you give them shit for shirts off selfies that he posted. And I went through them. I went through them, I said give them shit. I'm like, we might have them on again next week. So props to you for also making sure people realize that you probably had sex at some point in your life for those shirts off. I don't know, shared with us. What's the secret, man? I mean, other than testosterone. There is a lesson here. So I put your Ryan's been generous. I put from my 57th birthday yesterday I put a bunch of pictures of me shirtless through the years. Like, 90% of that shit is narcissism, right? Proud of my body and I want to show it off and but 10% of it, there is some rational. I think that working out is key to the species. I think you need to be strong. I think you need to walk into any room and be able to think one of two things. I could either kill and eat everybody in this room or I could outrun them. And we are as a species, we are happiest in motion and surrounded by others. You are meant to play sports you are meant to sweat. You are meant to lift heavy weights and run run long distances, both both in the real world and in your mind. It is key to success. You are not renting your body. It is not a loner. Working out, you know, people ask me what my secret is. My fitness secret, it's easy. I work out. I've worked out four times a week for the last 40 years. It has been my antidepressant, it has been a ballast for my life and one of the first things I do when I coach kids, as I say, how often do you work out? I am shocked by fucking hot mess some of these young people are. Mark, are you kidding? Look at you. And it's not genetics. I'm not saying you need to be ripped. I'm not saying you need to be skinning..

"Couches, I was social. You know, always could dance between the raindrops and always figure it out. And then in 2008, when I got run over by the recession, and again, I was not diversified. I went from I was chairman, I think of red envelope. The company I had started, a bunch of ships, similar to what's happening now got stuck 30 miles off of the Long Beach port because of a strike. We had a supply chain problem. We started spitting out the software gun of warehouse started spinning out the wrong address and so we sent gifts to like 40,000 incorrect addresses, which if you think about the complexity and cost, what happens when you send gifts to 40,000 wrong addresses? And then a credit analyst at Wells Fargo is probably appreciate said we need to call in all credit lines because something bad is happening in the credit market. So we went from a stock trading at like 8 bucks a share to chapter 11 and what felt like 6 weeks, maybe it was 8 weeks. So again, I went from okay, finally I'm back again to okay. I'm worth nothing again. And unfortunately, my son had the bad judgment, my oldest son had the poor judgment to come screaming out of my girlfriend. And I remember at that time thinking, okay, it's one thing not to have money. It's another thing not to have money when you're 40 and you're responsible for another human being. You feel like I'm a fucking failure. And that's the first time I had ever felt that emotion that I had failed on a cosmic level as a father because I was living in New York for the first time I was kind of worried about money. My kid can't sleep on a couch. You know, my infant son needs a certain level of economic security. And the reality is we were fine. We were fine, but it really fucked with me on what I'll call a mask. It made me feel it messed with my masculinity. I felt like I had let down my family, my new son, myself. And what the lesson from it is the following life isn't about what happens to you. Life is about how you respond to what happens to you. And nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems. I wasn't the genius I thought I was in 1999 or 2007 when I thought it was worth tens of millions of dollars, nor was I the idiot that the market was telling me I was in 2002 1008. Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems. And you just have to cut yourself some slack when the market hits you hard and you also have to rain in your horns and have some humility when you're killing it because you're not the genius nor the idiot, the markets are telling you at that moment. But that was kind of a, I would say that was arguably like my most that was the first time in life where I'm like, I'm no longer a kid. I'm a 40 year old and I'm failing. That was that really fucked with me quite frankly. You have been really critical of social media and I want to tie this in to kind of the younger people that are listening to us. You know, I've got college and then post college, and then a full grown adults that are just into sports as well. But I think some people would say, I mean, your critics, but they say you're an alarmist about it that you make too big of a deal about how dangerous social media is. Is that the kind of response that you get because you're obviously very, very critical, not only where we're at, but where this is going. Yeah, when I wrote the book before, I remember people reading the book and saying, come on, Scott. You know, Sheryl Sandberg is going to be the next president. Do you really want to say that she's a liar? You're just jealous. And I said, four or 5 years ago that these companies that there was trouble in mudville, these companies are too powerful. I said three years ago the Mark Zuckerberg was the most dangerous person on the planet. Again, people are like, that's unfair. I said two years ago, the Sheryl Sandberg was terrible for women that she was lipstick on cancer, got huge amounts of shit and was called misogynist for that. Quite frankly, I think the data supports all of my fears. Our discourse has become more chorus. Teen depression has skyrocketed since Facebook acquired Instagram. We are we now a third of each party thinks the other party is their mortal enemy. We have I think tremendous epidemics in teen depression, weaponization of our elections, polarization of our society, we had a fucking insurrection organized on social media, and the thing is, Facebook didn't cause the insurrection. Facebook didn't cause chain depression, Facebook didn't create income inequality. It's just that social media makes everything everywhere a little bit shittier all the time. And I want to be clear, I think the big tech, I think we're neck gainers from big tech. If I had a button and I could press it in big tech would evaporate. I wouldn't press the button. I own Apple and Amazon stock, Amazon is the biggest recruiter out of my class. We are net gainers from big tech. The problem is with the word net. We're net gainers from fossil fuels, but we still have a mission standards. We're net gainers from pesticides, but we still have an FDA. For some reason, we've decided to let these companies do whatever they want to let people advertising on their platform and pay in rubles..

"It's meant more time with kids, more times with Netflix. And my wealth is doubled. And you think well, okay, isn't that, isn't that a signal of government doing their job? And I'm like, actually, it's dangerous. Because this virus is not seen the full throated capitalist response we're capable of within 7 days of Pearl Harbor, we converted the largest Chrysler factor into a factory punching out M three Baratheon tanks, not one factory punched out more tanks than the entire third rock during the entire war. What's happened here? We have all this bullshit conflating liberty with selfishness if Walmart's stock had gone down 40%. If Amazon's stock had been cut in half at the NASDAQ and gone down 30%, when someone walked into a Walmart without a mask, we would taser their ass and then had a conversation around their liberties. I don't think we've really fought this virus. I understand that people want to get back to work. I think there is a balance between between living your life and some of the mandates I get that. But I don't think we've really really felt a sense of urgency. I think the people who control this nation, the shareholder class, it's kind of been stop stop, it hurts. So good. But back to your original question, I got wealthy from the NASDAQ. I think I'm incredibly talented and I've also was born at exactly the right place at the right time. The analogy highlight is my roommate, my freshman year of the fraternity UCLA. Born a white male in 1964, but God reached into his soul and decided that he was gay, and he died alone of aids at the age of 32. Neither of those, my heterosexuality, his homosexuality, neither of us were our fault, our choice. So it's just impossible to look at where I am and not recognize that, you know, at the end of the day, I'm just really fucking lucky. And I'm not humble. I'm not humble. So I have a mass more wealth than I ever thought possible. I feel very fortunate, but it's been through entrepreneurship. It's been through technology. It's been through working my ass off. It's been through resilience and breaking through failure, but more than anything, it's being in my opinion being born at the right place in the right time. When you look at the founder part of it, and I have made some jokes in the past. I think sometimes when I'll read about something or I'll feel like the guy wanted to be a founder more than he actually wanted to run a company. Was that the case when you felt like out of early tech late 90s, early 2000s and some of the stuff you started up. Was that part of the tech world as prominent as it is now or did guys kind of actually want to start companies to start companies? It was nothing like what it is now. In the graduate class of haz, the business school I graduated from a 92. Two of us were entrepreneurs out of the entire class. It was me and the second was my partner. I mean, no one started companies. I mean, very few people, it was really kind of a niche thing. When I moved to New York in 2000 to start an ecommerce incubator, there were just no one even understood what options were. Employees were like, oh, this is a tech company, isn't this cute? What are options? You want to pay me an option? It was difficult to find a law firm that could set a paperwork for there were no engineers. There were no I mean, so the echo system, people just don't remember what it was like. It's dramatically changed. In addition, we have this massive idolatry of innovators where the best and brightest are supposed to go start tech companies. And if you're really smart, you drop out of school. If you're really smart, you get an amazing job and you leave rich water or a Goldman early to go start a website or a SaaS company. So the emphasis and the hero worship of innovators is striking. I'm an entrepreneur and people think, oh, it's because you're so talented. My entrepreneurship is a function of my deficiencies. I recognized I was self aware enough to realize that Morgan Stanley that I was not successful in big companies. And people say, because you're such a maverick, no, it's not, because I was too fucking insecure. Every time people go into a conference room, I thought they must be talking about me. I couldn't I resented people, senior to me that I didn't think were as smart as me. And you know what? That's called work. Everyone has to put up with that bullshit. I was just not cut out. If you have the skills, people come to my office hours and I say people kids or my students. And they say, I'm thinking about starting a company. I've been off from Google and I'm Amazon. I think my story come in. I'm like, don't be an idiot. Go to work for Amazon. On a risk adjusted basis, these platforms are incredible places to work. And if you can put up with a bullshit if you can navigate the politics, if you can find mentors, if you can play well or nice with others, you know, on a risk adjusted basis, you're going to build a lot of wealth and a lot of credibility. I didn't have those skills. So most entrepreneurs aren't entrepreneurs because of their talents, their entrepreneurs because they just immigrated from South Korea. They don't have any choice but to open a dry cleaner. They're not getting offers from Goldman Sachs. And mine was kind of the same thing. I was self aware enough to big company. I'm not going to be successful. I don't have the emotional. I don't have the EQ to be successful in a big company. I need to be in charge. I need total visibility and transparency. I resent the notion that I'm not in charge of control, but I started with another guy, my stall made a Morgan Stanley. He's now vice chairman. We both ended up in similar places economically. I'm probably a little better off than he is, but he has endured a fraction of the stress I have endured. And a couple times, you know, I kind of lost everything when my, you know, in 2000 with the dot bomb implosion, I went from a 99 looking at jets to literally I remember in 2000 climb my account and saying, what am I worth? And he's like, let me think, no, no. You're worth negative 2 million right now. And then in 2008, building back and then getting crushed again in the recession because I wasn't diversified. By the way, maybe share with us because I was listening to one of the pods recently where you kind of allowed yourself during a monologue to divert into this rage of the 2008 crash. What was the worst moment? Were you running a fund at that point? What was the ultimate how am I going to get out of this moment? The thing that struck me was it was the first time I felt scared. And that is, even from a young age, I was a box boy at samba sante foods. I was a waiter. I used to go to this rich woman's house in a Lillian Helmand and carry her up and down or stare. I could always make money is to park cars with the Beverly Hills. I could always make money and take care of myself and when I moved to New York, worked a Morgan Stanley. I didn't have enough money for a deposit on apartment, and you know, I couldn't borrow from my mom's. I slept on Friends couches, I was social. You know, always could dance between the raindrops and always figure it out. And then in 2008, when I got run over by the recession, and again,.

"Because it makes it makes you feel better about yourself. It makes the degree on your wall more value. I mean, how many times have you heard people at a cocktail party or say, I would never get in to UC San Diego if I applied now. And they say it with kind of glee and pride. And it's like, well, guess what boss? That means your daughter's not getting in. This is not a good thing. This is not a good thing. And spring and households across America used to be a nervous but joyous time. Am I going to USC am I going to UCLA am I going to berklee or maybe it maybe I'm not a great student, but I'm a good student, so I'm going to go to a good school like UC boulder. Now it's the season of despair. My kid played by the rules, my kid did really well worked his or her ass off, had all those Tiger mom moments in the whole house came crashing down because of that D because they didn't hand in their homework and they got their shit together, did what they were supposed to do. And the kid gets arbitrage down to a mediocre school who by the way is part of this corrupt where we all raise prices in unison, such that the majority of American kids and households are paying a Mercedes price stack for a fucking Hyundai. And we've affected a transfer of one and a half $1 trillion in wealth for middle class households to the endowments and salaries of administrators and faculty because we're preying on the hopes and dreams and the expectation in America that you've failed as a parent if you don't get your kids to college. So I think it's a corrupt system. I think it's a morally flawed system. I'm being reductive here. I do think some people have not lost the script, the University of California just announced they're going to try and expand freshman seats by 20,000 people. I'm going to make a pledge to that and get involved. But private universities, some of the universe is including mine at NYU. You know, we've lost the script, Ryan. We're supposed to be higher education. I'm really on a rant now. In my opinion, it's the tip of the spear of America. That's where presidents go. We found the vaccine at universities. We think through civil rights. We think through, this is America. There's few things we do other than maybe weapons and software better than higher Ed in the U.S.. We're also really good at superhero films. But we're really good at higher Ed. So it's sort of higher Ed where higher Ed goes so goes America. And is this where America is supposed to be that we identify the frequency more remarkable and turn them into billionaires? I don't think so. I think America is supposed to be giving everyone a shot to be a millionaire. And unfortunately, higher Ed has more from being the greatest upper lubricant of mobility in the history of mankind to the enforcer the caste system. Okay, you got rich parents fine. You can find your way into USC. Okay, you're freakishly remarkable. We'll let you in because we think you might be a billionaire. That's not what America's about. We don't need more Elon Musk. We just need more people named Ed, who have good lives and good households and raise their kids and our good spouses and good community members. It's just like this, it's become this weird hunger games where you live an incredible life or you die trying. At any breakfast, I'm gonna shitty mood right now. Good. I'm gonna keep pressing here. How did you become really rich? So well I'll give you a timeline. I've always been an entrepreneur. I mean, first of all, let me just profits this. I'm not humble. I think I'm remarkably talented. I think I'm probably in the top 1% of talent globally. But here's the thing. The top 1% puts you in a room that's filled with the population of Germany. So I think I'm in the top. I think I'm one of the 75 million most talents that people in the world. It's a good number. But I'm probably in the top 10,000 in terms of economic security. I've been very blessed that way. And a lot of it is just not my fault. I was born a white heterosexual male in California in 1964. What did that mean? It meant that I got to go to an amazing university and got incredible certification for free. My total tuition undergrad and grad at UCLA, amber Berkeley, despite being very unremarkable were $7000 total for all 7 years. I took me 5 years. I spent my 50 year UCLA watching Planet of the Apes reruns and smoking a shit ton of marijuana. I came into professional age in the 90s when the Internet was booming. And I had a shaved head, which meant I could raise a ton of money with my certification that I got access to for free. I could raise a ton of money in the Bay Area where there was more wealth created between 1991 and 1999 than in all of Europe since World War II. So I got to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. I've had incredible opportunities because I live in America. I could fail and I have failed several times. I've had businesses go bankrupt. I've been divorced. The only person I knew love me died kind of prematurely, but America is a fantastic place. It loves to forgive and give people second chances. And then in the 2000s I start, I started companies. I got that were really good. I got lucky. I sold one for 30 million. I sold another for a 160 million and over the last 7 8 years I've been investing in doubling down and tech companies and my wealth is skyrocketed in the last 18 months and this is the dirty secret of the pandemic. If you're in the top 1% or even the top 10%, you're living your best life. This is what the pandemic is meant for me..

"Went over to the zebra position. But anyway, so that's when Jerry Rice came back, we had a pretty good darn offense. In fact, we were the only offense, right, really only offense. Ever in the Super Bowl era to have the most gross past yards gross yards passing and most rushing yards both at in the same year. It's never happened before. I think the it did happen like 1946 bears. I'm not even counting out. But it was a pretty good offense with those guys all on the field. That's an awesome story. And you know what? I love watching those teams play. I don't know what it was about those late 90s, early 2000s. It was a lot of fun in your 6 years there. Let's do this again, Steve. I appreciate it, man. Hey, thanks for having me on. All right. Where am I looking? You and your bedroom back there or what? I'm in Manhattan beach. This is one of the bedrooms we don't use that much. Beach. We'll go for a jog on the beach over there for me, okay? Run a mile for me, will you? I will. You could see Steve every Sunday on NFL network's NFL game day morning at 9 a.m. Easter. Thanks a lot coach. This week marks the halfway point to the NFL season and there is a big Sunday afternoon matchup between Green Bay and Kansas City FanDuel, sportsbook, is about to make it even bigger because vandal is giving new customers 30 to one odds on either team to win. That means you can win a $150 on a $5 bet. So think about that. You don't even need to get it right with Kansas City with their season going the way it's going in Green Bay looking like they're maybe I don't want to seem like I sit here and say, hey, now they're better than everybody else in the NFC. I think that Arizona game could have gone either way. I still like Arizona a lot, a great win by Green Bay. But you can just pick Green Bay and bet 5 bucks on them and they're gonna give you this odds boost. I don't know why you wouldn't do that, all right? So FanDuel, his sports.

"Stick around. I got a picture on the wall. I want to show you. Okay. I'm going where? We are holding as Steve Maria, she leaves this. Decorated office. Okay. You still with me? I'm still there. I don't know. Can you see this? Yeah, it's a picture of Steve Young, autographed. He's putting his hand on your shoulder looking at you in the sideline, right? Well, he's laughing at me. I don't know what he's doing, and then he got great nap there who just rig nap, who just got hit on his bike, he got killed before the season started. He was coaching with the jets. Anyway, so that's during a timeout, okay? Okay. You say, well, why are you showing me that? There would be times I would you know, you know, some quarterbacks, they all just they have an opinion. They have too many opinions sometimes. And they want this player that play or, you know, but most of them are pretty darn good. I remember on more than one occasion we'd call time out. And it's third down in 7 or 8, like you mentioned. And I go all right, Steve, here's what we're thinking. It's either going to be this play but or this plane. What do you like? He goes, I don't care. Just call a play I'll make it work. That's how he was. He didn't give a damn what you call. Just call a play, and if it's there, I'll take it, not a run of scramble, I'll improvise whatever that is. Call him play. I mean, that's what he was. Now, I will. I will, I will tell you there was one play where he that wasn't the case. I called I called a screen pass backed up like on our four yard line and he went back against the Raiders and he went back back back and he was into the end zone into the end zone and he was getting blitzed. And he had to, this is why he goes, please don't ever call that play again. I'm there. Okay, fine. Because he didn't want a smart guy. He didn't want to take a sack because it's a safety. He didn't want to throw it away intentional brawny because it's a safety. It's with, so somebody's going to hold, and it's going to be a safety. And it's like, I could still complete this ball and get tackled for safety. And that was a great call, man. What a fool. I'm gonna win 99, 9 yards, but then he got hit and he got flung into the goalpost. And he comes back. He goes, don't please don't call that way anymore from down there. I go, okay, fine. But otherwise he was like, he was not that he was indifferent. He just, you didn't even have to call time out. It just call the play, I'll make it work. Okay, I'll end on this. What was the dynamic? And I'll give you kind of my summary from the outside, which is very far away. I'm not working in sports. I'm bartending and finishing up school. And I remember being like, all right, Jerry Rice grew up with him. He still putting up these huge numbers. And his TO guy comes along and you're like, wait a minute. He has the catch in 98. He has the Tony catch game in 2000. And then I remember Jerry Rice day. Yeah, that's right. And I remember like whatever people think of TO now, I remember kind of the seeds being planted for because I remember seeing some NFL or as an ESPN or CBS pregame show. It doesn't matter. They were doing kind of like a visit with this guy who just had 20 catches in a game and he went to I think New York City and they were out of memorabilia shop, a sporting goods store, whatever, and he couldn't see didn't see any TO jerseys. And he was pissed about it. And now I've interviewed TO a bunch. We've had him in the studio all these different things. What was that early dynamic like with TO who is playing on the other side of the greatest to ever do it where you realize this special talent you have that I think eventually knew like, hey, I don't want to be in anyone's shadow. That's kind of how I saw it from the outside. I don't know if that's right or wrong. So tio was drafted the year before I got there. He was a third rounder from Chattanooga. And he didn't start. He was the third receiver, third or fourth receiver, because Jerry was the starter, JJ stokes was the effect, okay? And so I think tio at 30 catches or something 30 some catches like that. So he got his feet wet as a rookie. So then I took the job and so first game at Tampa, the game that Jim druck and Miller missed, all right, miss the flight. Jerry Rice blue is neo. Well, Steve Young got hurt too in that game. My first game, Steve Young got a concussion, 12th play and Jerry Rice blue is neo. Warren sapp got both of those guys. In the second quarter. And then Jerry was out for most of the year, all right? So tio took his place at Z as the starter. And then so JJ stokes and teal were the starters that whole year. And we won 11 games in a row after that. But that's when he really became a bona FIDE starter in the league when Jerry Rice got hurt. So then when Jerry Jerry came back on a Monday night and rehearsed his leg on a touchdown pass against Denver Broncos, Steve atwater blew him up on a touchdown catch. That was it for him. But then TO even said to me at the after the, after the season, when we were starting the next year when Jerry Rice was coming back. Tio said this to me, I couldn't believe it..

"But then drunk, I mean, and he had just shown up because we were tight with the salary cap. We couldn't find him right away. And so Steve ends up getting hurt and drug had to start against the rams. Drug has drug has the highest lean percentage for starters in the history of the National Football League a 102 years. He's one and old. He beat the rams, man. And so Kurt Reynolds the SID comes up. When we're playing around with the coach, just so you know, we've beaten this is my first year. Because we've beaten Iran's 13 times in a row. I went. We got drunk, playing quarterback, man. Because our backup court see Steve got hurt. He got a concussion at Tampa. And then Jeff Brom was coaching now. He got hurt too or backup quarterback. So now it's drug starting at the rams. Over in St. Louis. And did he win? Darn right he wanted to eat through two jet dino, why shallow cross. Boom to JJ stokes for a touchdown and then garrison Hearst had a 25 yard touchdown run. And we beat those guys for the 14th time in a row. And that was draft that was drugs only start. I love that guy. And then we cut them, eventually, right? But from our quarterback meetings, we would call him at home. Drug, what are you doing? What are you doing? I mean, he was so much fun. Everybody loved him. Everybody loved him. Hey, we.

"And B is technical as you want with it. Because I don't think we ever get that stuff. Yeah, I'd love to. It's 9 37. I got all day. All right, so we can just talk about it. I won't do that to you, but I couldn't invent the West Coast offense, okay? He was at the forty-niners and he learned it from, well, Bill Walsh wasn't there. I used work for George seifert, but the system was in place. He did work for Bill to and every team runs concepts of the West Coast office. In the West Coast offense, isn't just an offense. It's a way of doing things. The West Coast offense, when we learned it, it was this is how you practice. This is how you install this is how you eat. You meet, you have days off. This is the routine that the West Coast offense, Bill Walsh, who really got it from Paul Brown, but he made it win super bowls when he took it his way, right? Paul Brown really, I guess invented the West Coast office. And it's evolved into different things. But yeah, everybody runs concepts of it. It's not as prevalent nowadays, Ryan, anymore because gosh, way back in the day, when you look at film, Jerry Rice was down in a three point stance, the receivers were down. There was two facts in the backfield. Most of the time. And heck they were in split backs around or red. They weren't an eye. They weren't in single back. So there was a fullback, have you heard of before? Some teams don't have half the teams don't even have fullbacks. It's a dinosaur, right? You're not even you get about two fullbacks drafted each year. You know, they're just people don't use fullbacks anymore. And so it's evolving into this shotgun single backswing it kind of thing because rules say we should. And so the West Coast offense is, well, you might name things two and three jet and the numbering system and the flanker drive and the way you call plays may remain the same for Kansas City and everybody else. All these different wrinkles happen. Joe Montana or Steve Young never threw the ball out their horizontally on bubble screens. Didn't happen. You didn't have it in your game. Pat Mahomes last week was 15 for 15 on passes that didn't go past the line of scrimmage. Did you hear what I said? Didn't go past the line of scrimmage. Why? Because you can do that now. When I coach him, I'm far played. You couldn't do that. You couldn't be blocking when the ball was in the air. You couldn't run those screens. Lineman couldn't be downfield at all. Now the RPOs were the line in our block in Iran or you throw the screen out there. Or the slant and they're lenient with how far alignment can be downfield. The rules are much different. That means throw the darn ball more often and throw it horizontally, which means more yards, more points, less interceptions. The rules have changed. The West Coast offense is here, but it's not as prevalent as it used to be because of the rule changes. Yeah, I'm glad you brought up to 15 for 15, 'cause I used to, you know when I was younger, you'd be like, all right, 60% for completion percentage. That's the line. If you're below it. And now you could be last in the link at 60%. I mean, I mean, if you look at the Hall of Famers, a lot of them, lahave quarterbacks, a lot of them had about as many interceptions touchdowns, okay? Now, now if your ratio or TD interception ratio isn't like 5, the one, you're an idiot, okay? Because you just don't go back and throw them all down the field in the coverage is often. You're always throwing it out in space and let's say for passes. Is there a younger quarterback from this group? And I don't want to feel like I'm leaving out everybody. But I think there's certainly whether it's a Josh Allen and Kyler Murray, Lamar, Herbert, maybe even burrow, I know I could probably. Is there anyone that you watch every Sunday that you like better than the rest? No. I like a lot of them. I'd like. I watch my mindset is a league in good shape with quarterbacks because I've been in football all my life. And the health of our league, the health of our sport really depends on having really good quarterbacks to watch and to enjoy, right? And while the NFL is, you know, retiring a lot of its great quarterbacks, we just saw Drew Brees jump into the booth. And, you know, in Philip Rivers has gone soon, it'll be Ben, he'll be gone. And, you know, Aaron Rodgers will play a little bit longer, but the great ones the man eats and all those guys, you know, gone. Brady will be there another three to four 5 decades. I don't know, but it's good to know that our league is in good shape with young superstars. The Patrick Mahomes is a superstar..

But not everybody who plays is a blue blood, and that doesn't matter because the point spread Is the greatest equalizer and I want to talk about the six teams have identified. This is before they played the day that I think are not only worth watching their worth betting on and they're from Secondary conferences like, for instance, the Mountain West Conference that has two of them one another Fresno State Bulldogs, now assigned from dramatically improving their recruiting rank. 29 slots from one year to the other. They had 14 players opt, utilize what you call the bluntly pandemic blanket waiver, including a stutter any back Ronnie Rivers, who is one of the nation's top all around players. He's a senior, and you've got they're returning quarterback who started all nine games last year, Jake Horner. And he transferred over from Washington. He's done nothing but improve. He completed 66% of his passes last season. He also gets back eight receivers from last year. Their top three Russians that as I mentioned, eight offensive lineman always starting experience, so Fresno State frankly, has an incredibly high ceiling with respect to what they can do, and all the other defense brings back 10 starters. So they get on a few with Oregon today, and they almost beat Oregon and Fresno State was a 20 a half point. Honor dog. Some people thought maybe Ohio state or check that Oregon was looking at the Ohio State. I don't care if they were. They weren't Fresno State match them on the line of scrimmage played very hard gave great effort. The Ducks pulled away late and a home game. They should. You should win a game that your favorite to win by 21, But if you had Fresno State You cashed a ticket? Another team from the West Conference and by the way that what the moral The story is Until the markets catch up. Keep an eye on Fresno State. They should be a good value all year. Nevada, the Wolfpack. Now there are the returning Mont was champion. They have all 22 starters back an incredibly dynamic offense engineered by the Player of the Year. The offensive player of the year for the Conference, a guy by the name of Carson strong he's thrown for almost 5500 yards in two seasons at Reno, Carson strong Could and should get Heisman vote. She's not going to win it. I get that. But Numbers wise, he'll not not only have maybe the best offensive the mountain West, but I think if Nevada does what they're capable of doing, they have a chance to go to a big time ball game this year, plus their defense. Trending in the right direction, held teams to 23 points a game last year, and they've got You know Nevada's a program Jean Orville has done a great job taking over his head coach. They won at least seven games in three straight seasons. What do they do today? Well, there were three point underdog you Cal at the Pac 12. Nevada won outright 22 to 17. You would have cashed that game as well. How about a team from the Mac? Toledo. They beat north full state 49 to 10. Now they have a coach, veteran coach been there six years and Jason Candle He's got all 22 starters back as well. Includes six players who made all Mac The offense averaged 35 points a game last year. Can they put up 49 today? So they're going to be better? One of the better offensive units in the Mac? They've got their entire offensive line back. Including a stud running back by the name of Bryant Colback, a great wide receiver by the name of Isaiah Winstead and another one named Matt Landers. They've got Great skill players. Offensive line back all 22 starters. The recruiting rankings of the last four years suggest on paper. This is the best team in the Mac. They're solid. The defense will also improve. They'll be near the top in the Mac as well again. They won 49 to 10 today. Keep an eye on Toledo. They're gonna be value all year. So you have covered those three right there. Here's one to be fair. You wouldn't have cover. Georgia State is a team I've got. Bye on Again. There are loaded. Their experience are dangerous. They ran the ball. They were on the ball about 70% of the time, and they ranked 18th nationally last year on the ground there, coach they've got stability there, coach John Elliott. He's been there five years. Georgia State's been to three bowl games in the last four years, and this coach Sean Elliott, he's really Has really built this program and again. They've got everyone back just about including all 11 starters on defense from a team that won a ball game last year, in average, 33 points a game so they have a ton of experienced upper classman. They're going to try to pass the ball more. Maybe that was the problem. They they did lose two army 43 to 10. Nobody can play against that option even Michigan struggle with against last year so Georgia State God be today, but you can bet As you look at them next week and and weeks after you're going to find them in advantageous situations, where You're there's going to be value same situation with North Carolina State. They crushed southern Florida 45, South Florida 45 to nothing again their head coach Steve Doran, He stabilizes program They were down. Two years ago, There were eight mark. They were eight and four last year. The Wolfpack. They won six. They had six winning seasons in the last seven years again a ton of returning, uh, starters on both sides of the ball. The offense from the year before improved eight points per game, and they're going to continue to prove This year, The defense returns 10 starters, the last three recruiting classes have improved and this will be a bowl team again. So if you see the the pattern on these teams here, even though they're under the radar coaches have been with the program for a while. Highly ranked or improved ranked recruiting classes, tons of starters on defense and offense and upperclassman with experience. There's another game you would have covered today. Rice. They're on my list, The Conference USA team Now they lost Arkansas today 35 to 17. But for the first time in years, Rice actually feels like you're not going to be a laughing stock and football head Coach Mike Bloom grin..

"Suzanne Sauce will reports. Some say the current seal is historically inaccurate and offensive spoken like a true politician moderator. I have absolutely no opinion, but as a native resident Frank false would like to see the seal changed. Depict ourselves of what we were. So much is where we have come and who we are today and knew who in fact, we want to be in the future. The seal shows three native Americans sitting in front of a standing Bible holding John Elliott, the founder of the praying Indians movement in the 16 hundreds. Town. Meeting member Joshua Ostroff says the seal doesn't tell the whole story. For example, there are indigenous people who do not convert to Christianity.
