FunTranscript
00:00 All your parents and teachers are telling you,
00:01 you gotta get fucking focused,
00:02 you gotta figure out your shit.
00:04 You're not gonna believe this, it's really fucking funny.
00:06 None of them have their shit figured out.
00:07 (audience laughing)
00:11 None.
00:12 None.
00:13 Attention is the number one asset.
00:16 - Gary, we're gonna go through a couple questions
00:18 here with you.
00:20 First of all, what about last week in the Jets?
00:23 - Oh, I saw Jets shirts.
00:24 I see you, I saw you.
00:25 And I also saw a Tierra Whack, fucking, there we go.
00:28 Let's fucking go.
00:30 The Jets, it's all about this weekend.
00:33 We're at a crossroads.
00:34 We're two and three.
00:36 You all know our shit got fucked up
00:37 four fucking plays into this season.
00:40 But we've got the Eagles-- - You guys can sit down,
00:41 you guys can sit down if you want.
00:42 - Who are ridiculously tough.
00:42 I actually like the Eagles a lot
00:44 'cause we both hate the fucking Giants.
00:46 (audience laughing)
00:47 But I'm hoping for a miracle
00:49 'cause if we can win this week, it starts getting exciting.
00:51 If not, it gets a little tricky.
00:52 You start looking towards the draft.
00:54 - Tell me this, man.
00:55 We're obviously at the Aspire event.
00:56 - Yep.
00:57 - You just announced another one of your events, VCon.
01:00 - Yes.
01:01 - Coming up in LA.
01:02 - Yes.
01:02 - What's the passion of throwing these big events
01:04 for VCon and stuff?
01:06 - You know, the NFT thing, for a lot of you,
01:09 either were paying very close attention
01:10 or weren't paying attention at all.
01:11 When the NFT thing hit, obviously I believe in it so much
01:13 and I believe in the blockchain heavy.
01:15 In the height of the height, August 2000,
01:18 I started making a ton of content saying
01:19 99% of these things are going to zero
01:21 because I was starting to see everyone just went
01:23 to the greed side, not the building and the patience
01:27 and the IP side.
01:29 But for me, VFriends, the characters you saw up there,
01:32 it's my Pokemon meets Sesame Street.
01:34 You know, I have a lot of passion
01:36 for what I just talked about.
01:37 I think you get, you know, a lot of you have been
01:39 along this journey, you're starting to get more insight
01:40 to what makes me tick.
01:42 I know that me as a person has been able
01:46 to amass an audience, but I know I'm not
01:48 everyone's cup of tea.
01:49 Watch this.
01:50 How many people here, the first time they saw me,
01:53 were like, fuck that dude, he's a douche.
01:54 Make some noise.
01:55 - Yes.
01:56 (audience cheering)
01:57 - Dude, what the fuck?
01:59 So, you know, luckily, luckily,
02:03 for the people that raised their hand,
02:05 you get lucky sometimes and people will give you,
02:06 you know, you get a couple more at bats,
02:07 they hear the right thing and you can make that jump.
02:10 But there's a lot of people that will never even give me
02:11 a second chance or someone that looks like me.
02:14 I get it.
02:15 And I'm not for everyone.
02:16 We all consume differently and there's different voices,
02:18 different backgrounds, I get it.
02:20 With VFriends, my Sesame Street meets Pokemon,
02:24 if I can't teach you patience,
02:26 well then I'm gonna make patient panda so fucking popular
02:29 that they're gonna get to your kids.
02:31 And then, and so, it's a very big mission of mine.
02:35 You know, at first I thought I was building Disney,
02:36 but then as I learned more about what Jim Henson did
02:39 with Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock,
02:42 there was a lot of meaning behind those characters
02:44 and I'm very inspired by that.
02:45 And so, anyway, when I did the NFT thing,
02:48 I kind of anticipated the chance
02:50 that it would take some time.
02:53 I didn't anticipate the prices would get so crazy,
02:55 greed really took over.
02:56 I didn't anticipate the government
02:57 sending everybody free money.
02:59 You know, there was a lot of shit that went into it.
03:01 But I knew that the blockchain allowed me
03:04 to do unique things.
03:05 So the fact that you would get this collectible, right,
03:08 this VFriends collectible,
03:09 I wanted to make sure there was real life value.
03:11 So I said, for a long time,
03:12 I've been wanting to do a South by Southwest
03:15 meets Rolling Loud.
03:16 Like, what would the coolest business conference look like?
03:20 And so when I did VFriends, I'm like, this is my chance.
03:22 I'm gonna sell these.
03:23 I'm gonna make the initial selling of them,
03:25 the collectible, have three years to this conference.
03:28 We did it in Minnesota the first year
03:30 we were at a Vikings play.
03:31 We did it last year.
03:32 We're at a Colts play in Indianapolis.
03:34 This year, I wanted to try a different format.
03:36 So we're doing it in LA Live in August
03:38 and I'm really proud of it.
03:40 And I've learned a lot about events.
03:42 It's 10,000 people.
03:43 It's a big event.
03:45 You know, Snoop and Pharrell and Drew Barrymore
03:48 and just like a lot of pop culture.
03:50 You know, Andrew Schultz did stand up.
03:52 Rasta Rhymes performed.
03:53 Like, I'm really going for it.
03:54 I mean, it's almost like I didn't have the kind of money
03:57 as a kid to go to summer camp, you know,
04:00 but for me, having this event to look forward
04:02 to every summer where I can really talk about pop culture
04:05 and business and marketing and innovation.
04:07 And so this is the last year
04:08 that only the NFT holders can go.
04:10 And then I've got a decision to make
04:11 where I go with it afterwards,
04:12 but I'm really excited about it.
04:14 - Very cool, man.
04:15 Let me, obviously, in a room full of entrepreneurs
04:16 and business owners and we're all growing and scaling.
04:20 If you can, paint a little bit of a vision
04:24 that we can see down on scaling.
04:26 I think you just surpassed 2,500 staff employees now.
04:30 - 2,000.
04:31 - 2,000 at your company.
04:33 For us that are in the room growing and scaling,
04:35 scale that out.
04:36 Give us a vision.
04:37 What is that like?
04:38 - When I went into my dad's store at a school,
04:40 we had eight employees doing three million bucks
04:42 and five years later,
04:43 we had almost 200 people doing $50 million a year.
04:46 When I started VaynerMedia,
04:47 because my dad really never paid me much money.
04:49 I don't think people,
04:50 it's funny for me when people try to razz me.
04:52 They're like, "He inherited."
04:53 I'm like, "Motherfucker, I inherited nothing, dick."
04:57 I built a huge business for my father and left
04:59 and didn't have anything,
05:00 which is why I had to start VaynerMedia
05:01 in a conference room of another company.
05:03 I promise you, if I inherited it,
05:05 we would have fucking chairs.
05:06 So I started VaynerMedia very humbly
05:10 and in 14 years, not knowing anything about that world,
05:12 we built a $350 million business with 2,000 employees.
05:16 I feel confident that I can speak about scaling.
05:19 The number one reason, brother,
05:20 that most people here will not scale
05:22 to the level that they want to
05:24 is 'cause they don't love their employees enough.
05:27 (audience applauding)
05:31 The real answer to the quiz
05:35 is realizing you work for people,
05:37 not they're beholden to you 'cause you write their check.
05:41 The way that employers treat employees
05:44 when they have big aspirations and it's their company.
05:48 I'm not talking middle management in a corporation.
05:50 You're both in fucking jail.
05:51 I'm talking it's your shit
05:54 and you want it to be as big as possible.
05:56 The two biggest mistakes people make
05:58 is they don't invest in people like really, like really.
06:02 For example, I have 2,000 employees.
06:05 That's just VaynerX.
06:06 I have VeeFriends.
06:08 I have fucking VaynerSports.
06:10 I'm always still helping my dad
06:11 'cause that's our relationship
06:12 with Wine Library and Wine Text.
06:14 I'm doing, I got the GaryVee brand.
06:16 I've got a pickleball team.
06:18 I got a ton of shit going on.
06:20 And yet, if you looked at my calendar,
06:23 I'll show you right now, real talk.
06:25 Watch this.
06:26 Tomorrow, I promise you, like--
06:28 - Shit.
06:29 - No, forget that.
06:30 Don't look at how many.
06:31 It's what?
06:32 It's what in these 15 minute meetings?
06:34 It's with employee, Paige Carlin, one-on-one.
06:37 Destiny John, one-on-one.
06:39 Charles, one-on-one.
06:40 - Yeah, yeah, one-on-one, one-on-one, one-on-one.
06:41 - 15 minutes, 15 minutes, 15 minutes.
06:44 You just don't fucking care about them enough.
06:46 - Wow.
06:47 - And if you don't care about them first,
06:51 how the fuck do you expect them to care about your shit?
06:54 (audience cheers)
06:56 That's number one.
06:58 Number two, the biggest reason most of you
07:00 will not get to where you wanna get to, promise you,
07:04 the biggest reason is 'cause you have a business
07:06 to buy dumb shit.
07:08 - Yeah.
07:10 Yeah, yeah.
07:11 - What ends up happening is you got it going a little bit.
07:13 You're doing two million, a million.
07:15 You got 200,000 in profit and you take all that shit
07:18 and buy some shoes.
07:20 Instead of leaving it, hiring more people
07:23 and doing four million the next year,
07:25 you're using your business for your lifestyle
07:29 instead of you building your business.
07:33 So for me, I don't think I had a salary over $100,000
07:38 until almost 40 because my dad definitely didn't pay me shit
07:42 and then when we started VaynerMedia,
07:43 I was already kind of in that mindset
07:45 and so I was just reinvesting.
07:47 VaynerMedia went from zero to 1.8, 1.8 to three,
07:51 then I went full-time, three to 14, 14 to 27,
07:54 27 to 48, 48 to 72, but the way I was able to do that
07:59 was along the way, I wasn't trying to buy another house
08:02 or a fucking boat.
08:04 I was trying to build a business
08:06 and the biggest reason people will not scale here
08:08 is they don't care about their people at all,
08:11 sometimes or enough and they use their business
08:15 to fund their lifestyle and they don't build a business,
08:18 they build a machine of cash to live,
08:20 which is, by the way, do you.
08:22 You can do whatever the fuck you want.
08:26 This is America.
08:27 But if you're asking me why I see people stay
08:32 at two, three, four, five, it has to do
08:34 with all the shit in their closet that they don't wear.
08:36 - Yeah, yeah.
08:37 I wanna do this one thing.
08:39 I found out today, we came here, Gary,
08:42 a school teacher that teaches entrepreneurship
08:47 and finance to a group of kids paid
08:51 for probably around 50 high schoolers
08:53 that he teaches to come to this event.
08:56 - That's amazing.
08:57 - He got the bus for them, paid for the bus,
08:59 paid for the food, did the whole thing.
09:01 We found out here and we put a special room in together
09:04 for him and did some stuff with him,
09:06 but where's that group of high schoolers at?
09:08 Where are you?
09:10 There they are, right over there.
09:11 There they are.
09:12 (audience applauding)
09:15 If, obviously you work with a lot of young people.
09:24 - Yo, kids, don't take the eighth place trophy.
09:26 It's gonna fuck you up.
09:27 So when they hand it to you, fucking throw it back
09:30 in their fucking face, you got it?
09:32 (audience laughing)
09:35 - What, you obviously work with a lot of people,
09:38 but young people in high school--
09:40 - My fucking favorite.
09:41 - What advice would you give them?
09:42 - Let me tell you one other thing,
09:43 when we shit on Gen Z, you need to hear me loud and clear
09:46 as you're gonna go home tomorrow and complain again
09:48 that nobody wants to take this job
09:50 that you're offering $18 an hour for.
09:52 Gen Z's not lazy, Gen Z has options.
09:55 (audience cheering)
09:57 They know that they can just fucking make TikToks
10:00 and get brand deals.
10:01 They know that they can flip shit on eBay.
10:03 They know they can do a Shopify store.
10:05 I promise you, if we all had the internet,
10:08 we wouldn't have worked at Kmart either.
10:10 (audience laughing)
10:13 Motherfucker, if I had the internet,
10:14 I wouldn't have graduated middle school,
10:16 let alone fucking high school.
10:18 I would have been out by 11, be like,
10:20 peace, Mr. Dennis, fuck you.
10:22 (audience laughing)
10:25 Fuck.
10:26 - All right.
10:26 - I would have had the Jets 20 years ago
10:28 if I had the internet when I was a kid, fuck.
10:31 Fuck, I wish I had that shit.
10:33 - Fuck.
10:34 (audience laughing)
10:37 What piece of advice,
10:38 if you gave one piece of advice around high school,
10:40 what would you tell the high schoolers over there?
10:42 - There's so much, which is why I make
10:43 so much content on TikTok.
10:45 And we all remember, when you're like 15, 16,
10:49 you don't realize that you're not even born yet.
10:52 They literally are sitting there thinking,
10:54 they're getting close to having
10:55 to have their shit figured out.
10:56 Kids, I got a big one for you.
10:58 You know how your parents and teachers are telling you,
11:00 you gotta get fucking focused,
11:01 you gotta figure out your shit?
11:02 You're not gonna believe this, it's really fucking funny.
11:05 None of them have their shit figured out.
11:06 (audience laughing)
11:10 None, none.
11:12 So what I would tell them is,
11:18 and I would tell this to a lot of people in this room,
11:20 especially looking at the 20, 30, and 40 year old,
11:22 50, 60 year old faces,
11:24 we have such a bad relationship with time.
11:27 It's a big passion of mine,
11:29 I know that people that follow me here
11:30 know how much I pound this.
11:32 With modern medicine,
11:33 do you know that they're gonna live to 130?
11:35 - Yeah.
11:37 - Like real shit.
11:38 I don't know if anyone's paying attention
11:39 to what's going on.
11:40 It's crazy.
11:42 Modern medicine is moving fast.
11:44 We are figuring out a ton of shit.
11:46 Literally, if you're 12, 14, 15, 16,
11:50 buck 10, buck 15, buck 20, buck 30, for real.
11:54 And before you're like, nah, just do your homework.
11:56 Look at what's been happening.
11:58 85, are you kidding me?
12:00 If somebody lived to 60,
12:02 in the 1970s they were like, you fucking made it.
12:05 (audience laughing)
12:07 So what I would tell them is,
12:09 and I would tell a lot of you,
12:10 and this goes back to like,
12:12 this is gonna be a fun one,
12:13 'cause I'll tell them and then I'm gonna you.
12:15 For them, they need to be high risk.
12:17 They need to follow their actual dream, actually.
12:21 They need to mitigate regret.
12:23 You know what is really hurting for a lot of people in here?
12:26 The shit they didn't do at 20 and 30,
12:29 that they wanted to.
12:30 (audience cheering)
12:33 Right, 'cause they thought they were supposed to,
12:35 or their mommy made them do it,
12:37 or society told us.
12:39 I get it.
12:40 Shit, when I was a kid,
12:43 like, entrepreneurship wasn't even a thing.
12:46 At 14, 15, 16, everyone told me, besides my mom,
12:49 that I was gonna be a loser, 'cause I got D's and F's.
12:52 Kids, I got D's and F's.
12:54 (audience laughing)
12:57 You know, like, we didn't have the,
12:58 you know who Gary Vee is online,
13:01 besides trying to make my mom proud?
13:03 He's the person I wish existed for me when I was 16.
13:06 - Yeah, yeah.
13:08 - You understand? - Yeah, yeah.
13:10 - Which is why I talk about the bullshit of,
13:12 like, if I, like, I needed someone to look up to,
13:14 there's too many people that say,
13:15 "Win at all costs, kill everybody, fuck you."
13:17 I don't believe in that shit.
13:18 I believe there's two ways
13:20 to build the biggest building in town.
13:21 One, just have the fucking talent to do it.
13:24 Or two, like most people,
13:26 tear down everybody else's building.
13:28 - Yeah.
13:29 - And so, I think about that,
13:30 and I wanna be that role model.
13:31 I wanna be that person for 15 year old me
13:33 if they happen to sit there.
13:34 But if you're a musician,
13:36 if you wanna be a stay-at-home dad,
13:37 if you wanna coach Little League,
13:39 I don't know what you're about,
13:40 but whatever it is, at this age,
13:42 for the next 20 years, nothing but that.
13:45 And then, if you didn't have the talent,
13:48 if it didn't bounce your way,
13:50 if you weren't good enough,
13:51 if it just didn't click,
13:52 then, at the ripe age of 33,
13:56 (audience laughing)
13:58 you can go get a regular job.
14:00 - Yeah.
14:00 - And for this crew,
14:02 I wish they knew what 50 is in today's world.
14:06 - Yeah.
14:06 - When people are like, "It's over."
14:08 What's over?
14:10 You're gonna be 30, 40, what?
14:12 You're just gonna dwell for 30 years?
14:14 (audience laughing)
14:15 I wish people knew that the number one thing
14:18 they should do right now,
14:19 if they're not enjoying it.
14:21 Though, I don't know if you heard,
14:22 everyone's happy in here.
14:23 - Yeah, they're happy.
14:24 (audience laughing)
14:25 - But if you're one of those two people that didn't clap,
14:29 if you're not pumped with what you do,
14:31 do you understand how much time we spend on working?
14:33 When, add sleeping,
14:37 and then figure out how much work is your life.
14:39 It's the majority of your life.
14:42 If you don't like it,
14:44 you're making a mistake.
14:46 And I understand.
14:47 Fuck you, Gary, that's dream shit.
14:48 I got a mortgage, I get it.
14:51 But I don't understand why people
14:52 don't fight for their happiness.
14:53 - Yeah.
14:54 (audience applauding)
14:57 - Let me go into detail.
14:59 Let me go into detail.
15:00 In my way of seeing the world,
15:03 if you can't quit your thing
15:08 to go try to do another thing,
15:10 you start looking at everything that costs you money.
15:13 If you're actually miserable, real talk,
15:16 like if you don't wake up on Monday,
15:18 and you're like, yeah, right?
15:21 Like people that live for Friday evening,
15:24 that's not life.
15:25 If you're one of those people,
15:28 the first thing you look at is, do you own a home?
15:31 If you own a home, and you're not happy,
15:35 like really not happy, but you can't afford to jump,
15:38 I think it's a debate to say, let me sell this home,
15:41 let me take out the equity, give me a year,
15:44 I'll have the humility, right?
15:46 I'll go back to an apartment, I'll go to a smaller home,
15:48 I'll rent a smaller home, but we don't do it
15:51 'cause we're worried about judgment.
15:53 Most of you will not do the thing you should do
15:55 to get to happiness, because you don't wanna be embarrassed.
15:59 And that fucks me up.
16:01 It's like sports.
16:03 Most of you are living your life.
16:05 Can you imagine if every athlete
16:06 reacted to every time they were booed?
16:09 When you're an athlete,
16:10 you don't even hear the fucking crowd.
16:12 When people try to tell me or judge me on what I'm doing,
16:15 I'm like, motherfucker, you're in the crowd eating popcorn,
16:17 I'm fucking playing.
16:19 (audience cheering)
16:23 (audience applauding)
16:26 So if you need to fucking sell your home
16:29 because you bought a home that was too big for your skis,
16:32 and you, (audience laughing)
16:35 the realtors are motherfuckers, aren't they?
16:37 (audience laughing)
16:40 And you have a home that has, I don't know,
16:42 four rooms that you never fucking use,
16:45 and it's fucking you up
16:47 'cause that mortgage is fucking you up,
16:48 and your lease is a fucking Tesla,
16:51 and you go on three vacations
16:55 for the fucking photos on the 'Gram
16:57 to show people you're winning on the outside
17:00 and you're actually losing on the inside,
17:02 swallow some fucking humility and fight for your happiness.
17:07 (audience cheering)
17:10 - Gary, last question here for the day.
17:15 Alex, if you've got to come out.
17:17 So Gary, me and you were talking backstage,
17:18 and what a lot of these guys don't know
17:21 is Aspire would actually never exist
17:24 without the very first interview I ever did with Money Is,
17:28 kind of launched this whole freaking thing
17:30 about four years ago in your office,
17:32 and we were talking about it backstage.
17:33 So I'm gonna, you're the first person
17:35 we ever did an interview with.
17:36 I don't know if you remember your answer,
17:37 but I remember it.
17:38 I didn't tell you what it was,
17:40 but if I asked it to you again, money is blank,
17:43 what would the answer be, and then why would it be that?
17:46 - Money is an exposer.
17:48 - An exposer.
17:49 - My friends, money exposes.
17:53 If you're a piece of shit when you're poor,
17:56 you're really a piece of shit when you're rich.
18:01 (audience laughing)
18:03 I love when people are like, Gary, money changed him.
18:06 I'm like, it didn't.
18:07 I promise you, money is an exposer.
18:10 Money exposes people.
18:11 Real talk.
18:13 It fucking exposes people.
18:15 It just accelerates your truth.
18:16 - Yeah.
18:17 - It just does.
18:18 You're good people.
18:20 You get paper.
18:21 You're real good people, promise.
18:22 Watch it, pay attention.
18:24 It's never, ever been any other way.
18:27 Money, money is an exposer.
18:30 Perspective is what we think money does.
18:36 When you decide to not look here,
18:38 and you look here, and you see completely different shit,
18:42 you can possibly act different.
18:44 That is what people think money does for them.
18:47 Putting in the work, having the humility.
18:50 It took me time to get to understanding candor was a flaw.
18:53 I used to blame them.
18:55 I was doing this, right?
18:56 I'm really good at this for almost everything,
18:59 but when I wasn't strong enough to fire you,
19:01 'cause I liked you, 'cause I mean,
19:04 back to what I said earlier,
19:05 you come into my company, we're fucking family.
19:08 Like, I think in sports terms, you're like on my team now.
19:11 Right?
19:12 Like, we're gonna kill everybody,
19:13 and I start getting feelings.
19:14 I love my fucking teams.
19:17 And so when someone sucked,
19:20 instead of having the ability to say,
19:22 "Hey, you're not good at this,"
19:23 and have the ability to build them up,
19:27 I would just, 'cause I didn't want,
19:28 and it would get worse, and worse, and worse,
19:30 and then after three years of them sucking,
19:32 then I would sloppily fire them out of,
19:35 I mean, it was bad.
19:36 In my 20s, it was out of control.
19:37 At 28, I could walk by somebody at the liquor store
19:40 and be like, "Johnny, you're the fucking best.
19:42 "See you on Monday."
19:43 Like, on a Saturday night,
19:44 and then Monday, be like,
19:45 "Yo, can you come to my office real quick?
19:47 "Yo, by the way, you're fired."
19:49 And Johnny's like, "Motherfucker,
19:50 "you said I was the best on Saturday."
19:53 And I was like, "Fuck, I'm sorry.
19:54 "I'm like, here's more money.
19:55 "Just get the fuck out of the company."
19:56 You know, like, it was sloppy.
19:59 It was sloppy.
20:01 And you know what I did?
20:03 I blamed them.
20:03 I'm like, "Johnny, fuck you, Johnny.
20:05 "How didn't you, you fucking sucked.
20:06 "You knew you sucked.
20:07 "What the fuck?"
20:08 You know, and I wasn't there.
20:10 And I think we do that on a lot of things.
20:12 And so I think we need to be way more accountable.
20:17 Like, the second you realize the world is how you see it,
20:21 even in times like this,
20:22 if you wanna look outside right now,
20:24 you can find unlimited positivity.
20:26 And the second you realize that anything
20:28 that is bothering you is on you, it's on you.
20:32 Every single person here is more than capable of fixing it.
20:35 Maybe not this minute,
20:36 but if you believe otherwise, you've already lost.
20:41 If you believe you can't fix it,
20:43 I'll never get my mom,
20:45 if you believe that, then it won't happen.
20:47 And more importantly, back to before,
20:50 at VCon, I said a funny line with passion.
20:54 I said, "Fuck your grandparents."
20:57 I'm really excited about this.
21:00 - Yeah.
21:01 (audience laughing)
21:02 Let's talk that out for a second.
21:03 - Yeah.
21:04 (audience laughing)
21:06 So many people shit on their parents,
21:09 'cause that's what we do as humans.
21:11 We blame our parents.
21:12 Like, you don't get it, Gary.
21:15 Especially the way I talk about my parents and my mom,
21:17 you can imagine, right?
21:18 Going through the airports on DM.
21:20 Gary, you don't get it.
21:21 I can never, 'cause unlike you, my mom was poison.
21:24 And I'm like, but then, when you really go deep,
21:27 as I have over the last 20 years on this,
21:30 people are all mad at their parents,
21:32 but they love grandma, 'cause when they went over there,
21:35 she gave them pie.
21:36 Meanwhile, your grandma's the one that made your mom
21:40 the way she is.
21:42 - Yeah.
21:43 - And so we give granny a pass.
21:45 - Yeah, yeah.
21:46 - But we shit on dad like a motherfucker.
21:48 - Yeah, yeah.
21:49 - And then there's a funny game.
21:51 Once you get to that place, then you realize,
21:53 wait a minute, great grandma was a real bitch.
21:56 (audience laughing)
21:59 And so my question is, you can sit here
22:02 and continue to blame the president, your mom,
22:06 or you can decide, I'm a grown-ass man,
22:10 I'm a grown-ass girl, and instead of doing
22:13 all these proxies to make up on my problem,
22:16 let me go do work.
22:17 - Yeah.
22:19 - Let me do work.
22:20 (audience applauding)
22:22 'Cause it's super easy to blame.
22:25 It's easy.
22:26 You just do it.
22:27 But people are not putting in the work.
22:29 And what, again, so to me, money,
22:32 it's that people swear that that's just shit
22:35 that's gonna fix it.
22:36 If you got fucked up shit, that shit is not fixing it.
22:38 It's gonna make you spend that shit on more fucked up shit
22:41 and you're going down, down fucking town.
22:43 - I love it, I love it.
22:45 - Charlie Brown, motherfucker.
22:46 (audience laughing)
22:48 - All right, that's it, Gary.
22:49 You guys give Gary a round of applause, man.
22:51 (audience applauding)
22:51 Gary V.
22:53 - Thank you, San Diego!
22:54 (audience applauding)
22:57 (audience applauding)
23:00 (audience applauding)
23:03 (audience applauding)
