Speaker 1: A little scoop there, Mike. I've been eyeing you up

since day one. Night you're nasty aname o. Good lord,

it's not gonna be good.

Speaker 2: I don't think okay, all right, all right, Oh this isn't too bad.

Speaker 1: I thought maybe we'd be like I wouldn't see you at all. Yeah, this is good. I got I got

riz like this, you got riz? Uh this?

Speaker 2: Hey, so tell me about this, like when were you talking about? Oh, tonight is? Where'd you get tonight? From

my ex girlfriend? They came on.

Speaker 1: I don't know. It could have been from rock concerts

or or you know, all loud noises in the shop when you're younger. But he did come on during like

a big stress period when I was with my ex.

Oh yeah, really big time stress. Yeah. I was drinking

at my heaviest too, and it just came on like we and it's never the volume never goes down. It's

it goes down, but as soon as they hear something high pitched, it goes back up. Really well, I've learned

to ignore me. It's not from the shop, right, I mean,

you feel like you spent that many hours in the shop.

Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know you know one good loud bang, that's possible. Yeah, wear drum could be kind of sensitive

like that.

Speaker 1: You know that it's just one of them because the other one's fine.

Speaker 2: Really yeah, So if you cover it, do you feel it like ring louder?

Speaker 1: If I cover my good ear, I can only kind of half hear, uh what's on the TV? You know? Wow? Yeah? Yeah,

but the other the other is good, perfect. Maybe you

need to hear.

Speaker 2: Nate's just sitting here. He doesn't know what's happening. I'm

chilling because he's always instigating.

Speaker 1: Nate.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, so we should probably tell But I heard that it comes on from stress.

Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah? And they have the Lippo

flavonoid that you could dump in your ear. You know,

it's like a how do you spell that? I have

no idea, but you can get it at CVS yea store near you. Yeah. Uh yeah, that's all I got

about that. Really. I wish I had a story about

the tonight, but you don't know.

Speaker 2: We should uh, we should introduce Nate a little bit, okay, because everyone's looking at this thing and going, who's this guy in the middle of this guy?

Speaker 1: Nate?

Speaker 2: This is the this is the this is the genius behind my social media, and he's been putting everything together that everyone's been enjoying so much.

Speaker 1: And it's been a really good partnership.

Speaker 2: And that's why we're doing this podcast for the most and that's why we're crushing it on social media. So

Nate used to be a newscaster type guy, and he's got the voice for it, and he knows how to ask questions. And more importantly, I feel like Nate's been

a fan for many years of the show, so he knows our background and has appreciated it, and I think it's really helped with the editing and things of that nature.

Speaker 1: Yeah, with that said, you're fine. Got to let you

go right start with the good news.

Speaker 3: But yeah, it's been a lot of fun, I mean working with Paul, and I think this is what the audience has really wanted. You know, It's been received really

well by everybody, and we get a real look at you guys and these stories. And I've been telling Paul

it's almost like an American chopper two point oho.

Speaker 1: It feels like yeah.

Speaker 2: Yees, especially since we got you know, Mikey here our special guest on every podcast.

Speaker 1: Yeah, so far the podcast, and you know, Rick Petco and I've been trying to get Vinni code. Man.

Speaker 2: They're tough, they're harder to get on, but I'll tell you they're very busy. Ever since I did the podcast

with Craig Jackson and we did it remotely, OK, and it looked and sounded amazing, I'm thinking like maybe we could get more, Like maybe we can get him in here.

But until then, let's just start talking.

Speaker 1: You know. Maybe I didn't want to do the remote

thing because I.

Speaker 2: Was like, hey, lose that in person connection you do, and it's a little covid e you know, it's got a little covid vibe to it, which is kind of a got that stuck terrible residue. But it did work

out really good when I did the podcast with Craig Jackson from Barrett Jackson Auctions, because it looked perfect and we ran it through our audio and it sounded good.

So maybe I could go grab people where they're at.

I know, I'll get a lot more people. I could

get so many people to do this, you know.

Speaker 1: Yeah remote, Yeah, it opens up getting people to come on with here. You know, Yeah, it'd be good. You guys.

Right for some questions. We are we are Wait wait,

a little background on nasty night right news guy. Right,

I was a news guy. That's right. Well, tell us

a little bit about your switch and occupation. Sure.

Speaker 3: So I was a morning news anchor in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

It was a great time. But twenty twenty came and

I just felt like it was time for something else.

I've been in the business for like eight years, and I loved it, you know, morning news. It was like

more lighthearted, fun stuff. But for so long, you know,

you're still reading terrible news stories, you know. So, but

I was still interviewing people, I was still shooting my own stuff, editing, writing, and I was like, why don't I do this on my own for businesses who need it?

Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I did.

Speaker 3: So and just working out, worked out, turned down an extension in twenty twenty, quit altogether said this is it.

I'm gonna go out on my own, figure it out, and here we are going downhill.

Speaker 1: Here he is out.

Speaker 3: So you kept your newscaster name, Nate, Yeah, yeah, I didn't change my name or any Yeahate, Nate Stewart now my real name Nathan.

Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't think Nates ate. Stewart's a good name.

He's like a newscaster.

Speaker 2: It's also the name of the guy you don't trust, you don't think so Stewart's drunk again.

Speaker 1: This guy he's over at the Stewart shop again. Yeah.

Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think a lot of people think, like do those newscasters, like do they wear pants behind it?

Speaker 1: And uh, you know a little bit. But yeah, it

was a cool job.

Speaker 3: I love my job, but it was just time to break free, you know, no more suit and tie, no more clean shaven, you know, no more wearing makeup.

Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah that was weird. Yeah yeah, they air

brushing on now right, I don't know, I don't know really laid on the ladies.

Speaker 2: I know they actually had to apply it themselves, you know, and it took him like an hour before the show.

Oh yeah, yeah, Well you got to be camera ready for that kind of stuff. For else all the sin

is showing, especially uh yeah, yeah, exactly in your head off the swing.

Speaker 1: Well yeah, right, there's a statistic with that.

Speaker 3: Actually, there were a lot of newscasters when they switched over to HD that got laid off.

Speaker 1: Oh really, They're like, we thought you were exactly.

Speaker 2: There's only so much makeup, right, and you know they want to see knife.

Speaker 3: But yeah, so it's cool being able to do this though.

And I know we asked the fans earlier some questions and man, they are rolling in.

Speaker 2: And me and Mikey, you're ready for this cross fire?

Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I want to know more about Nate.

Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, convicted of are you now or have you ever been a felony?

Speaker 1: Just kidding? I'll let it go. That's great, but no,

the answer is no.

Speaker 2: Let's let's get into the questions and then we could give Nate a hard time between each.

Speaker 1: Question you're right and for yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 3: That's cool. So I like this question. You know, you

were talking about concerts and that sort of thing, and one of the fans here they want to know like some of your guys favorite musicians or maybe musicians that came on the show that you're fans of, or even just nowadays, like who you guys, like, you know, what are you listening to? What's on the Spotify playlist for

you guys?

Speaker 1: You know, gee, man, that's a really good question. You

want to go first? I like Neil Diamond, Yeah, I

like Neil Diamondil Diamond, I like everything, yeah, everything.

Speaker 2: Do you have like a special genre of music that you like in favor of? I mean I like a

lot of like sixties and seventies rock. It's just the

best music on the planet, you know, with Tom Petty, the Beatles, you know, the Doors, the the Everybody's, all the good bands, you know, Hendrix all at different times and who yeah, a little.

Speaker 1: Ziggy star Dust, Yeah yeah, Bowie.

Speaker 2: You know, I'm a big fan of the Violent fems That was the first your time period, it is. I

like some of the songs, but I'm not a big Yeah.

It was the first concert I ever went to. Was

a Violent Femmes concert. Oh really, yeah?

Speaker 1: And I went with my boys. How was the show?

Speaker 2: It was fantastic, But the disappointing part was that we got in the elevator and there was like four of us and we look up and it's the whole band standing next to us. So it's really awkward because they

didn't want to even look at us, you know, because they were getting ready to go on stage. We just

happened to get in the elevator with them. They're probably

nervous to Yeah, well, I don't know.

Speaker 1: Snubby, No, I think maybe a little snubby is what I thought. But you know, I also was like, oh thems.

Speaker 2: You know, so I feel like that kind of ruined it a little for me, just for the moment, because I was like, oh, man, these guys didn't even look my way. I've been listening to their music all these years.

But that's how fans feel, man. They feel entitled because

well because there's there's like a little yeah, they're invested, invested.

It's kind of what you're looking for if you want people to watch and you know, anyways to get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 1: It was a great concert. Meet the heroes. Yeah, never

meet your heroes. That's the third point. Yeah, you know,

disappointment at the end of that tunnel.

Speaker 2: But man, maybe half the time, Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Muhammad Ali was nice, great guy. And Bill Murray yep,

one of my favorites, right, one of my favorites. Ye.

Speaker 1: Steven Tyler. So, Steven Tyler really nice.

Speaker 2: Awesome guy. We had a lot of fun with him,

road motorcycles with him, yep. He flut places with him.

He was great to talk to and told us crazy stories about the sixties and seventies of music.

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just unbelievable.

Speaker 2: Man, talking about like Janice Japlin and oh yeah, you know, you gotta remember Steven Tyler was like like late sixties and something like that's actually like mid.

Speaker 1: To late sixties he was. He was in that crowd.

Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was around before a lot of these people died, you know, some of the you know, so his story is about that sex.

Speaker 1: And drugs he was, and rock and roll of course, but he was big in it. I mean he's spoken

of this, so it's not like I'm right.

Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, And I got to tell you, man, as far as like music goes, think about it, like Steven Tyler, dude, this guy, this guy's made like he's made good.

Speaker 1: Music, like new music for like forty years. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Most of these guys, Yeah, they stay relevant. I know

we talked about this before, but just because of the topic, you know, yeah, yeah did oh. By the way, I

do love the violent fans. I know every every lyric

to every single song, and I really don't have anything against them. It just was the experience that I had.

Speaker 3: You know, how about you, Mike first concert, first concert ship or favorite musician that like came on the show where you got to meet even outside the show.

Speaker 1: Favorite guest, yeah, favorite guests. Well, favorite guest, uh Bill Murray. Yeah,

did you see what happened to Bill Murray in New York?

Speaker 2: No?

Speaker 1: You know. Bill Murray's like, how can you upset Bill Murray?

He's like one of the cool Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that. I stepped on him there. Back off. It's like, man, yeah,

And I got to tell you.

Speaker 2: For as big as Bill Murray is and I've heard some stories about him dropping elbows on people, he was pretty nice about it.

Speaker 1: He walked away from it, and you know, but the guy was on the ground and someone stepped on him.

Speaker 3: Now he was walking away somewhere and a fan like came up and I think stepped on the back of his foot or something, yeah, or pushed him or something shoved.

Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I don't. I think it might have been

like one of these paparazzi.

Speaker 2: Guys is too cordi and he's like, you back off, but step on me again. And it seemed like something else,

you yah, something else. It was pretty It was pretty

mellow though. He didn't seem like outraged, but he was

not happy.

Speaker 1: And he's like six'. Three you. Know, yeah he's not

a little. Guy, YEAH i think he's not afraid to punch.

Speaker 2: Someone, no he's From, chicago, Man he's punched a lot of and he's gotten punched in the. FACE i, yeah that's.

Right i'm serious those. Guys and he's got all.

Speaker 1: Brothers. Yeah, yeah he might have a, sister but he's got.

Brothers you. Know so another question.

Speaker 3: HERE i think this is a good one From jeff, Obviously, PAUL i know we've talked about your. Collection you got

like all this stuff going, On but what the fans can't see on the.

Speaker 1: Podcast is the whole other side of the.

Speaker 3: SHOWROOM i, mean the walls are just lit, up you know from pall with signs and antiques and all this cool.

Stuff of, course the bikes talk about. That, paul like

you got you are huge into. Collecting you and said

you're trying to get Mic, no it's, yeah.

Speaker 2: Yeah SO i Told, MIKEY i, said, listen you got to get involved in. Collecting he's not having any of, it.

Speaker 1: Not even a little.

Speaker 2: Bit and you, know it's funny thing BECAUSE i didn't used to think any of anything of EVERYTHING i collect and it was only like maybe ten years ago WHEN i started to really appreciate this type of stuff AND i realized it's kind of WHAT i do for a, living, RIGHT i build these, bikes and it's mostly marketing and advertising for, corporations so it's in, theme, Right and that's what these guys did all those years ago when they did these beautiful graphics on, signs these big neon. Horses you,

know everything was like advertising and marketing and people really tried and the aesthetic was. Beautiful and we don't quite

have that, anymore you, know like big signs are been replaced by phones and stuff like. That SO i have

such a great appreciation for the art of what it, is a spirit especially it's it's very Much americana, art you, know And i've had a good eye for it for a long.

Speaker 1: Time and, man once you get bit by this, bug it's.

Over it is. Over. Man it's the collecting.

Speaker 2: Bug and, yeah BECAUSE i keep a lot of, stuff BUT i buy and sell a lot of, stuff AND i make.

Speaker 1: GOOD i make a lot of money buying. It but

you love, Stuff i'm not going to lie to.

Speaker 2: You you love to have, them you love the way they, look and you love being around them more than. Anything

the passion is what drives my understanding or skill.

Speaker 1: Set does that make?

Speaker 2: Sense, like Because i'm so, Passionate i've invested so much.

TIME i got to understand, values what's, good what's not, good what sells, fast what. Doesn't how to parlay a

sign in a, trade to make, connections to trade up and make lots of. Connections And i've been able to

do that over ten. Years and it's becoming more of a.

Business AND i was just talking To nate about. IT

i feel LIKE i got to make it like just a, business you, know not like a side, thing but like more of A.

Speaker 1: Yeah you can hire, people they have to you have to trust, them and they have to have your DON'T i just need. ME i might be able, to might

be able to like ramp up a little, bit drives. Around.

Speaker 2: Yeah my thought is like maybe even get in by a whole. COLLECTION i have never done, that maybe not

like a massive. One but and then have my own auction,

okay because that's all the all these signs gets sold online auctions, Mostly so this is you, know you got to have people, HERE i have an auction, here we can clear the whole middle of the, floor have all my stuff THAT i keep and then do an auction with all the signs set up around the.

Speaker 1: Room it would be. Amazing that would be scaling.

Speaker 2: Up as opposed to selling one, sign you sell one hundred in one, night you, know out the.

Speaker 1: Wine, yeah. Exactly. Kegs we got to roll the kegs

in for these.

Speaker 2: Guys, no it would be. Good you wouldn't really have people.

Here it would just be like mostly, free you.

Speaker 3: Know and you you get these signs off of Like eBay And facebook. Marketplace, well we're Not we're not GOING

i got.

Speaker 1: NO i don't Use eBay at.

Speaker 2: All, Okay Facebook marketplace everybody uses in some. Capacity but, yeah,

MAN i picked. Different i'm not A Mike.

Speaker 1: Wolf you.

Speaker 2: KNOW i don't dig through people's. Garages, listen if you

let me, In i'm gonna look, around But i'm not you, Know i'll go pick.

Speaker 1: Up a sign.

Speaker 2: Antiques It's i'm like a different kind of. Picker i'm

more of an online. Picker and uh and and and.

Speaker 1: Friends.

Speaker 2: UH i do a lot of hand to hand transaction because it's.

Speaker 1: Online have you gotten anything? Fraudulent oh, yeah all the.

Speaker 2: Time you could usually tell because like, uh you could sometimes they're not from the country and the way they the way they're texting sounds like they're not from here and that'll give them.

Speaker 1: Away, yeah you know WHAT i, mean you're, like wait a, minute you're missing like three letters.

Speaker 2: There so all the, time fraudulent stuff with signs is, rampant but anything online there's they're always trying to rob.

Speaker 1: You you. Know, OKAY i got a good question for, You.

Speaker 3: Mike so you, know it's funny behind the scenes you are very much involved with all this technical. STUFF i,

mean we got three cameras going, on we got, lights and you're always asking me about the. Mics we were

just talking, About, yeah because on the last podcast we got into you, know you're doing the filmmaking and all that.

Stuff so you, know tell me about. That how how

you're getting more involved and is that just like it's something that you're interested in doing that kind of, stuff everything technical on top of like the onin camera.

Speaker 1: Stuff, Well i'm trying to learn as much about the technical stuff AS i can in order to carry through into, filmmaking you, Know and, YEAH i seem to retain. IT

i just have to do things repetitively and they kind of you, know because.

Speaker 3: We were talking you're like flying the drones and doing all, that, Right, yeah.

Speaker 2: Yeah renting, locations renting locations or just going there and filming without.

Speaker 1: Permission without any. Permits, YEAH i do that a, lot you,

know stiffing, Actors, yeah things like.

Speaker 3: That what was the question, Again, well just like getting involved with that kind of? Stuff like what drew you,

know you into. THAT i know you said you were doing,

it but like what sparked your? Interest was? It just

was it being involved in like seeing the cameras On American Chopper and did you ask those guys like technical stuff back then even or is it something that just you, know a hobby of yours.

Speaker 1: Kind of but it'd be like an occasional question or.

Something you, Know nothing ever really, stuck, Right and that was a good, show and there were a lot of really good professionals who worked on the. Show But i've

always enjoyed. Filmmaking my mother bought me a, camera A

PANASONIC vhs camp, corner a quarter camp Quarter, Quarta, Quata, quata Camp. Quarta and WHEN i was at twelve AND

i just wanted to start making, MOVIES i remember going to SEE et AND i wanted to go back see it. Again, yeah,

yeah so DID, I. Mike BUT i MEAN i was like.

CRYING i wanted to go.

Speaker 2: Back OH i was crying when he was in that thing All pale And dine when.

Speaker 1: They were both at For Whimps The love of The.

Speaker 2: Thear, yeah And mikey was Very mikey was all over filming stuff early, on real early, on probably like how old were you?

hits my sister at the top of. That the books

so oh yeah with a phone. Book.

Speaker 2: Yeah it was like a stage that really. Hurt shut

the fuck, up we can't do this. Again you, know

this is our only?

Speaker 1: Take oh. Man, yeah a lot of ridiculous, stuff AND

i really enjoy just coming up with an, idea getting people to go along with, it filming, it and then trying to follow through with. It and the hardest thing

to do with the film is finish. It, yeah anybody

who could finish the film gets you, know. BLOWS i.

Speaker 2: Think you, know it's FINN i would like you were gonna say it gets money because the film.

Speaker 1: Was finished or they got money to begin, With like that's hard to, do you, know scrouched together investment money for a. Film BUT i go micro budget AND i

just So i'm the, producer you. Know Got that's HOW

i got.

Speaker 3: Involved my mom had old video camera and my brothers AND i did stop motion videos back in the.

Speaker 1: Day like action.

Speaker 3: Figures oh, really and we just would film and do.

This and then that's when Like jackass came, out you.

Know and what's the first thing they always, say, like don't attempt any of these.

Speaker 1: Stuff, yeah we did all the. Stuff everyone was smashing

up supermarket carts and ship, YEAH i. Think.

Speaker 3: Yeah another good question that came across here is obviously we're here In New. Jersey we're AN Lbi New jersey

what the squatter's rights are In New, jersey but they're pretty awesome In New. York in eight months and then

the bank has to like pay you forty grand to.

Leave oh, man it's a win. Win. Yeah we're down, here,

man almost like almost four. Years we're.

Speaker 2: Permanent we're getting ready to sell our house In New york that's going on the market like it can't get on fast. Enough and we purchased another house just off

the island because we as much as we love our home here on the, ISLAND i need some. Property my

lot of stuff in. There but Hopefully i'll be able

to build something and pile everything in. There this location

we're gonna stay in for a little while and we'll, see you, know IF i build a, building this might transition over. There that, WAY i have like control over,

everything you, know all on one.

Speaker 3: Piece, Yeah because a lot of people were, asking like where's the, podcast mean, Film like.

Speaker 1: Where are you?

Speaker 2: Guys, yeah we're, Here, yeah seventeen, Fourteen Long Beach, Boulevard Ship, Bottom New. Jersey not Ship, bottom but Ship, Bottom Ship Ship.

Speaker 1: Bottom Of New. Jersey, okay it's Just Long Beach. Island.

Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah AND i got to my mother in law lives on the. Island that's HOW i got to Know

paul here and if you're ever down, here come check out the. Showroom it's The Black widows. Here you, know

you see The yankees bike build off. Bikes it's it's

it's it's an experience coming. Here so with, that you,

know we were talking about. Filming this is a good

question From.

Speaker 1: Cabery she.

Speaker 3: Wantsn't it's like simple, question you guys miss Filming American.

Chopper do you do you miss it at?

Speaker 1: ALL i miss being part of the. PRODUCTION i don't

miss the, craziness, right but YEAH i. DO i do

miss reporting to work and coming up you know with goofball ideas or just being part of a team trying to make, episodes you, know film.

Speaker 3: Scenes what was like the film? Schedule did you guys

film like five six?

Speaker 2: Days, yeah so yes we. Did but for, ME i

feel LIKE i do miss. IT i don't miss it

like LIKE i have to have AND i miss it like there was some attributes that you can't get, otherwise not just, financially but also kind of like a team, Aspect LIKE i missed my team being together because when the show's, going THEN i got my guys and we're we're creating and building one after, another and the show really drives the. Sales put it that, way see, PEOPLE

i don't think people really understand that about the. Show

they just are entertained by. It but the truth, is

because you have a big, platform like when we're On Discovery, channel, sure and you talk with a company about building them a, bike then there's an understood.

Speaker 1: Value.

Speaker 2: Right we don't charge for that because we can't because we don't own the show or own the. Network but

there's a premium on our, product, Right SO i think that and then you, know one after, another we get to do all these creative builds as a, team and you, Know brendan's up and you, know we got all the everybody's together and going to. Work and that's, fun even

if it's long. Hours and So i'm not doing as

much of that AS i used. To things are transitioning

into other great, areas you, know it's not like, that it's just what's. Next but, ALWAYS i love the idea

of doing. SHOW i like DOING i like being in

front of the camera doing, things building, things creating. Things

it's kind of fun because you get to share your you get to share your gift with people LIKE i never thought about it like that until you, know probably more.

Recently but that's what you're, doing. Right you have this

idea of what you want to create and all these people come alongside you and appreciate it and keep.

Speaker 1: Watching it's pretty. Remarkable. Sure. Yeah the fact that they

keep watching is proof in the pudding. There, yeah, yeah very.

Speaker 3: Cool here's another good, question, Right so we talked on the podcast your incident that happened In, Tempe arizona with the, mayor and someone here wanted to, Know, hey are you guys coming back To? Seattle SO i guess you, know

the question is of all the fifty.

Speaker 2: States you, know we've talked about some of the countries you, visited but any other states stand now that were man like the fans were awesome or something.

Speaker 1: HAPPENED i think, people based.

Speaker 3: On the Comments i'm, seeing they wanted to more like of the stories like, that the stories that we didn't get to see On American.

Speaker 1: Chopper.

Speaker 2: YEAH i, think you, know the fans are always. GREAT i,

mean our fan base when the first five years of the, show the fans were just it was a little, overwhelming but they were really, loyal, good regular, people you, know, sweet not even the fan type but just they appreciated.

Speaker 1: Us we were like family to.

Speaker 2: Them So i'll never forget when we were in In louisiana In New orleans and that was the first time we realized that we Were we just got blown away by the turnout and we sold t shirts where they had to keep printing. Them and that initial audience was

Speaker 1: Stuff you can't ever get that. Back you, can you

can have.

Speaker 2: Fun, again but those big, moments they only happened for a first time.

Speaker 1: Once that's. It that's it, once and we did it

with that crew. Man we were, young well we were.

YOUNG i like, that no. JOKE i figure how good

that is because a lot of people get success when they're, older, Right, yeah when you could really do some damage to. Yourself

mine did the damage in my EARLY i got. It, Yeah,

no that's. FUNNY i think you're right.

Speaker 2: THOUGH i, mean AND i feel LIKE i was at a great age for the success BECAUSE i had worked a lot of. Years, MAN i had already put IN

i started working WHEN i was. Twelve we got the

show that twenty, six, right so when you see the, mass what's fourteen. Years, YEAH i was already working fourteen,

Years like a man works fourteen years and the iron.

Job so that was oh, sorry that's another.

Speaker 2: Topic, oh when success, came, MAN i knew what it was to make to work your butt off have nothing to show for. It, virtually you, know you got, paid

but yet like By, MONDAY i was borrowing money, already you.

Speaker 1: Know and you know What i'm.

Speaker 2: Saying, yeah well that's LIKE i just knew what it, was how hard it was to make. Money so when

the success, CAME i had a different level of understanding and appreciation WHERE i think if you get it without going through, that without, working that's how sometimes people get they get off the rails really fast because they don't have a perspective of what it really takes to make, money you, know and that stayed With that's helped me my whole. Life and you, know my father was really
