How NOT To Get Screwed Online

[00:00:00] At least we should be live. How do I get screwed on the internet? Live from the internet. It's Wednesday night. Average Intelligence style. Hello everyone. You may be confused because it's not Sunday, it's Wednesday. Well, it turns out schedules change, so if that's a problem for you, then eat a dick, because I don't care.

[00:00:36] Can you throw a little audio in my mouth? Don't mind me, I'm just trying to fix it, it's doing it again. Say something. Something. Alright, I'm just gonna switch to not headphones. Alright, that's cool. But, because our audio check passed, so welcome everyone to the Average Intelligence Podcast, where we try to help you be a little bit less average and a little bit more intelligent. Usually we fail, but tonight I think we might actually

[00:01:09] succeed. Because in a bit of a departure, we're not talking politics, we're not talking entertainment, but we are, however, talking safety. Specifically online safety for you. And how are we doing this? Well, through experience mostly, because we both have a few wins and losses when it comes to purchasing and interacting online. So we'll share some stories, have some laughs, and hopefully give you some guidance and turn you on to some really good sponsors.

[00:01:36] Two of which tonight are our friends, and I mean this quite literally, because they are our friends, because of the relationships we've cultivated. Our friends at Vizard.ai, and our friends at Molly Jewelry US. We will speak about both of them, and in fact, each of them's an interesting online experience that turned out positive, but because one of us behaves smartly when interacting with new people. So that being said, let's get the fun stuff out of the way. How about times we got screwed? Those are fun.

[00:02:07] To be fair, I haven't. I haven't been, because the thing is, I was so like aware of, I wish I could hear myself. I was so aware of basically how the internet, like people just took advantage of people.

[00:02:27] You're lying, sir. Because I know you and I got screwed in a very similar manner. I say screwed, but to be fair, when I made this purchase, I had a hunch that it was BS, but I had, it was worth it. Are you talking about your game stick? Yeah. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Okay, so stuff like that. Here's the thing, people. Okay, and this points out a big red flag that you should be aware of when purchasing online.

[00:02:52] I'm not saying don't ever order from places like this. Just understand it's a pretty prominent red flag. Those game sticks that you keep seeing on social media, the ones where you plug them into your TV and you get 80,000 games. Yeah. Here's the thing. Don't buy them. 80,000 reruns.

[00:03:11] Well, no, you will get screwed because the thing is like, you'll get the thing, to be fair. You'll get it. The hardware is not sufficient to deal with a video game, essentially. Because basically, and you can educate me because I know you're a little bit more versed in this. It's essentially just ROM, not ROM. I mean, they're full of ROMs, but emulator software.

[00:03:36] It's basically just emulator software in a USB stick, or in this case, an HDMI stick. Well, it's just a single chip. And back in the day, you used to have one game on one single computer chip. And nowadays, you literally have a whole computer chip that can run the software that used to be a whole game system.

[00:04:05] So it's like, it's really cool, but it's not quite there. Like, you can, if you, have you ever heard of Raspberry Pi? Like, not the food? Yeah. Okay. No, it's not ringing a bell. Okay. So Raspberry Pi is literally just like a game chip. And, well, it's not necessarily a game chip. People used to make a Laura, what is it? Remember H&T? Yeah.

[00:04:34] Okay. So the H&T miners that they had, people used to actually make their own with Raspberry Pi technology. So it's just the name of this company that makes these chips or whatnot. But, and then they also figured out they could make game systems out of them. And then, like, they were pretty good. Not like these piece of shits that they sell on TikTok and Timu and Amazon.

[00:05:03] Like, unless you're spending like 90 bucks, you don't expect anything. Well, the thing is, I spent, I spent 89 bucks. So I spent about 90 bucks on the one that I bought. Which one did you get? I don't even, I don't even. Well, hang on. I'll go grab it. I'll show you. Because I still got them on this, fucker.

[00:05:27] I was going to say, if he's got the one that I'm thinking of, it's potentially customizable. The one I have is not. It's the 4K game stick. Yeah, that one's trash. Well, they're all trash.

[00:05:55] No, apparently there's one that's like the GD10 or GD, something like that. Apparently it's like, it's actually good. Yeah, 4K Ultra HD game stick. Now I will say, before any of you in the comments say, I did try to connect the USB power supply to an outlet and not the television. It made no difference whatsoever because this thing just doesn't have the RAM to support what it's doing. That's, that's essentially what it is. And it gets.

[00:06:24] It'll play like Super Nintendo and like regular Nintendo. Nope. No, not at all. Nope. Is that, I thought that first, because I tried 64 Mario Kart and I'm like, okay, I might not be a total loss. But, and I tried it on separate occasions because it wasn't like it was just like running too hot or anything at the time. There's a 64 emulator on it? Oh, dude, this has everything. This has PS2 emulators, games in it. PS2 and 64 GameCube? Yeah.

[00:06:53] You got to have a certain type of graphics card to run PlayStation 2. It's like, what? Yeah, they got you. Oh, no. And I had, I was, at the time I had more disposable income and I, I literally thought to myself, I said, I'm pretty sure this is too good to be true. However, the risk to reward ratio was tolerable for me because if it was legit, it would be really awesome. And at the time, my worst case scenario was this doesn't work and I'm out 80 bucks.

[00:07:22] And actually my plan was I was going to buy one for me. And then if it worked, I was going to get one for you for, as a Christmas gift. But I didn't want to, I didn't want to buy one and give it to you and have it be shit. You know what I mean? So. Dude, like, yeah, the, the, it's, it's, it stinks. Like, were the remotes white or black? Mostly white, but it's white and black. Do they look like PS5 remotes? They're pretty similar. They're not exactly the same, but. Oh yeah, that's it.

[00:07:53] See, I wonder what actual brand that is because there, there could be something. And, uh, did you, did you try to go to the settings or anything like that? Oh yeah. Okay. So yeah, you messed with it. Oh yeah. I remember you saying, he's like, yeah, this thing's junk. Oh, I did. Yeah. I had a hunch, but. I will say the one I got, um, like it plays PlayStation one beautifully, but. Like, it's not customizable.

[00:08:18] Like it says, like all the games do run fairly decent, but they're like, literally it's like 20 or 30,000 games, but it's literally like one game in four different languages. Right. No, I, and I will say 40,000. No. And I will say, I did also buy, I bought this one at a mall. So one of the tips that we're going to give you is brick and mortar or something that physically, like you can physically take it when you buy it. Usually legit.

[00:08:48] Usually don't buy it off the street from somebody, but like if you're in a mall and there's a kiosk or a store, you're, you're probably okay. Or at the very least, if you get one and it's defective, there's some kind of warranty where they're replacing. You didn't even get screwed online. No, I bought the little Nintendo one. It was great. You got screwed. Oh, you bought the Nintendo one. Oh no, it was great. I love that thing because here's the thing. I, and the other thing was you could see, you could read the entire game list and yes,

[00:09:16] half of them are shit, but they're fun shit. Like there's a, it had a game called Mortal Kombat four on it. That was spoiler alert. It's not Mortal Kombat four, but it. It's this beautifully awful NES version that kind of looks like. I saw it. Yeah. Oh, it's great. It's, it's, it's, it's terrible.

[00:09:42] It was literally like the same game just in black and white and just like literally like rendering just as not there. Yeah. It's a, it's worse than the original Mortal Kombat by far, which is also on it by the way. So I can play OG Mortal Kombat. I think it had Mortal Kombat two. I can't remember. It's been a minute since I busted it out. So, but the, the other red flag though is, um, and I, I initially thought it might be legit

[00:10:08] because it was advertising on Facebook, which turns out Facebook don't give a fuck as long as you pay them. They'll let you post just about anything. But Facebook will take your money really easily. Like, uh, they're just like eBay for real. But, uh, no, I went to their site and I could, the site wasn't super fishy. Like it wasn't an obvious scam, but I just, and then some of the comments and some of the

[00:10:35] reviews were, there were enough people saying that it lagged that I kind of got the sense that that might be the case. What you'll find though, is that you have to take these things in. Like it's, if there's one bad thing, it's not necessarily that you're going to get screwed. Like, but if it's a fishy website, the reviews say that it's bad. And I found out later when it's not easy to find out how to contact customer support or

[00:11:04] if they're email only, that's a red flag. Yeah. That's typically why I try to, uh, only have like, if, like if you're buying something online and you're not on TikTok or anything like that, if they don't accept places like PayPal, I don't buy from them because like, uh, you ever go on, uh, just Google and you're searching for something and you'll find something and it's like half the price of normal.

[00:11:32] And it's like, yeah, that's an obvious scam because they'll say they accept PayPal. But, but when you get to the end to pay, they don't have a section for PayPal. And then they just think, and they just like a whole, they'll probably just use a card. And I'm like, yeah, no. Yeah. So, but that's another one. Inconsistencies in written, not policy, but written statements in advertising or their website. And then when you see those inconsistencies, that's a red flag. What I'm trying to say is any single one of these, because I have a story where it worked

[00:12:01] out great and I had concerns, but again, the risk to reward ratio was worth it in my opinion. But one of those things individually may not necessarily mean you're going to get screwed, but when you have like two or three of them together, it's probably at the very least do some more investigating. Yeah. So we both, we both kind of, it sounds like you got a better one than me though. Cause mine just sucks. It's not bad.

[00:12:29] Like I said, dude, Mario three works on it beautifully. Oh, that's awesome. Right. Regular Mario works amazing. Let me see. Super Mario world on super Nintendo is amazing. Link to the past is great. Final, Final fantasy two, three, four, five, six. Like there's a ton of games on it that are actually good. So like I, and I got it for 35 bucks. Oh, you dick.

[00:12:52] But I was told and I even checked and I did research and apparently it wasn't enough research that you could customize it and add or take away games. Yeah. I will. I will say for the one that I got, it does have a micro SD port in it. Yeah. That's a port. Cause you can, I don't know if you can see it. You can add more games to it via micro SD.

[00:13:21] There actually is a S there should be an SD card in there. You know what? You're right. Hard drive. You're right. There is. That's the essential hard drive on that thing. Well, apparently you can't take it out, but yeah, I see it in there. You can, you have to have something to. Yeah. Well, don't buy this. This sucks. I did it. So you don't have to, uh, I'll tell you another one.

[00:13:47] And I, this one, I had a really strong hunch and I will first clarify. So again, don't come yell at me in the comments because I know these places actually exist. I've been there. I've seen them. There are places where you can go and buy return merchandise pallets from Amazon and places like that. The key is you have to go to where the pallets actually are. Don't go to a website.

[00:14:16] And again, Oh, this was on Facebook too. Just use Facebook will caution. So anyway, what I did was the website claimed that you could buy a pallet for the low, low price of was it 29 or I don't know. I was thinking it was $49, $49.99. And I'm like, there's no way. But if it is, that's amazing.

[00:14:44] And actually I think I still, I think I still have it. Oh, no, I don't. I just thought of two other examples. So, but keep going. I don't still have it, but basically I was, I was expecting a pallet. So I had it shipped to my job and a package comes and it's a, it's a, it's a Chinese eye massager that doesn't even work.

[00:15:15] He paid $50 for a Chinese eye massager. I did, but I didn't. That's not what I thought I was getting. I thought I was getting a pallet full of shit that I figured, to be fair, when you buy these pallets, they're as is and they're not inspected. So you can count on half of it being worthless or trash. Yeah. But, and I knew a guy who had a whole business on that and he got the thing, the trick is you have to buy enough of them to make it worth your while.

[00:15:41] Because sometimes you will get, you might have one or two items on that pallet that make it worthwhile. And they're usually a couple hundred bucks, but you know, sometimes dude, you get iPhones on that shit. Yeah. That's, that's what I'm saying. He got one luck of the draw. Oh, I shit you not, dude. I saw, and I physically saw this happen. He got one where it was a box full of iPhones. They weren't brand spanking new, but they were like one generation removed.

[00:16:05] So he made a killing on that because I think he paid like, I think he paid like 500 bucks for the whole pallet in that particular case. And especially the electronics ones. Those are, those are big. We've got our own Jamie. Do we? I can't read it. I, yeah, my camera's not focusing. It, she's sitting there sending me a Groupons to 70% off retro game systems.

[00:16:34] Look that shit up, Jamie. Oh, what's it, what's your other one where you got, uh, where you got screwed? Okay. Uh, I, I was just, uh, I was just talking shit earlier saying I have never been, never been screwed online because it's true. Uh, it's not true. Um, but anyway, uh, do you remember that thing that I put, um, dude, I, I put like, I hate to say it.

[00:17:03] I hate to say how much I put into this. It might make you cringe a little bit, but I put, I put a thousand dollars into, uh, into a crypto and it was supposed to be like 66,000%. Remember that? I don't remember which one specifically, but yeah, I do remember. I was staking, staking crypto and it was like 66,000%. And as soon as, well, it's, I don't, I don't think it was actually the, uh, crypto website, but as soon as I did that, like it started going down.

[00:17:34] I think they, uh, I think they took everybody for their money and, and kept it. I still, I still got back, uh, I think like 600 out of it. So I did lose 400, but yeah, you know, that was in the time when I was making a lot of money. Oh, crypto crypto crypto. There was another one where I took, I took a risk. This was an investigative risk. I think I told you about it because you were even saying, you're like, dude, I don't think it's true. And I'm like, yeah, I know it's probably not.

[00:18:00] But if it is true, if, if, if it's not true, I'm out 20 bucks. And if it is true, it could be big. Um, that's the other example I was going to throw out there was that you did that. I did that having a pretty good feeling that I was going to lose 20 bucks. So long story short, the site doesn't said that. Yeah. It's one of those things where it's like, it's, it's the potential reward is worth investigating. And that's the thing.

[00:18:27] Unfortunately, when you're investing, sometimes you're going to lose money, even if everything's completely legit. But so there was this cloud mining website. And for those of you who don't know, which you're the crypto guy, can you explain cloud mining? Because you're going to explain it way better than me. Well, let's start off. It's bullshit. It is. Yeah. So essentially, it's like you are paying for someone to have a bit.

[00:18:53] Well, not, not a bit main, but a Bitcoin miner or whatever miner that you want, literally in their possession while they mine on it. And you just, you pay them and then you get the rewards. And it's like, how does that make sense? Like, well, so the way, the way I understand it is you're basically energy paid for. They are. Yeah. You're paid for from stupid people. You are paying them. I didn't realize that until like for after you did that.

[00:19:23] I researched it. The thing is, I understand it in theory, but it goes back to if you have the money to have a mining operation, then why would you sell stake in it? Well, that's, that's the thing. Like while you're mining it, you're only creating so much and you have to have that so much to take care of the electricity and everything else. So like, if you're selling off like portions of it, like it just, it doesn't make any sense with the volatility.

[00:19:51] It's a great, it's a great way to take people's money though, because you're not guaranteed rewards. And that's, so here's the thing about crypto in general. If you are not sure of what you're doing, don't do it. Just don't because I didn't lose. I didn't lose. In fact, I think when it comes to crypto, I pretty much broke even. But I certainly didn't make a lot of money.

[00:20:19] If anything, I broke even if I did lose, I lost a smidge, but the cloud mining thing. So basically what I did and I got to give them credit. It was a great scam. I mean, it was like Vegas level scam. It was great. So what they did was you would get onto this site, their cloud mining site and toast. So toast is, uh, and you would create a username and they would let you start cloud mining for free.

[00:20:49] And then you watch this balance get up and it wasn't making a ton of money, but it was making some money. Um, and then they'd, they'd start, you know, saying like, Hey, but if you invest money, your returns will, you know, get in. They were good, man, because they weren't promising like 10 X or anything. The returns seemed reasonable for the investment. So that's when I was like, okay, I'm pretty sure this is bullshit, but I'm going to throw in 20 bucks and try it. And sure enough, my balance got higher.

[00:21:19] But then when you put in a withdrawal request, suddenly everything goes silent and then the site stops working. And then you contact their customer service and nobody gets back to you. And then you geolocate their who is ID. And it's someplace in the UK. That's a fucking apartment. And it starts to become clearer. And it was funny because I started investigating them, not so much to try to get my money back because I figured I was fucked. I just wanted to know.

[00:21:49] And yeah, it was this whole scam that got taken down. Um, but the thing is they just, I think they popped back up somewhere in the Czech Republic under another name. Like it's brilliant. It really is. They're horrible people, but it's smart. You're just like, I hate you, but that's, you're making money. Oh, there's so many times where I say things like, look, these people are despicable.

[00:22:14] But if, if, if they're up to a certain level of like doing a good job in terms of like fraud, sometimes they deserve to win because they're just, it's a good operation. I can't hate it for, I mean, I fell for it. They make you fall in love with the dream, right? It's the same thing Vegas does, but it's legal in Vegas. It's like, they're fuck boys. They may. Well, okay.

[00:22:43] So I do want to talk about that. I didn't, I didn't mean to say that. Our sponsors, uh, we're good. Are we okay? Well, yeah, we, we need to, uh, speaking of scams. I was a victim of a really crazy employment scam. It was wild. I'm still in court for it. Oh, dude, dude, tell, dude, tell. But while he does that, I'm going to talk about another. Playa employment scam had to be a call center.

[00:23:10] Toast was, Toast was on there talking to people like, yeah, this is toast. What are you wearing? I got butter. No, he was on there. It's like, how would you like to make a billion dollars? All you have to do is work for this company that doesn't exist. You fill out like 18. It's Habibu! Habibu! Um, so you remember our, our foray into Hustlers University, right?

[00:23:40] That was a scam. Not really. No, not really. It is, it is, but it's a scam in the sense. You learned a lot from it. Okay, but I was, I was gonna, it's, it's ironic. Oh yeah, touch me there. Oh, what are you, what are you wearing? Yeah, I was gonna say, I turned that into a Amish. Oh yeah, what are you wearing?

[00:24:09] Um, okay, so here's the thing about Hustlers University, which is now known as the real world, which is, this is funny, because I still get emails from those guys saying like, I'm enjoying the real world and make money on TikTok. Yeah. TikTok. TikTok. Oh, here's the, okay. So it, it, it is a scam in the sense that they use really aggressive marketing. Notice I don't say illegal, at least not in the United States. They use very aggressive, which these are common, right?

[00:24:39] These are the things where it's like, you know, sale one day only, yet they run this sale 60 times a fucking year. Or like $49 a year. There's only so many spots. They're filling up fast. So many spots. And then, and then my favorite one was, and this is actually really funny. I appreciated this because I thought as I'm leaving, I'm like, this is actually kind of entertaining and funny. Because when you quit the weird, like when you cancel your membership. They talk shit to you so hard in emails.

[00:25:07] You have to, you have to go like six, you have to go through like six videos of them just shaming you into staying. And it's, it's so funny. Like if, if, if you have really low self-esteem, you will stay in there forever. Because literally one of them. You're canceling your payment. Fine. Enjoy being a brokey. Enjoy being a brokey for the rest of your life.

[00:25:31] Toast said, basically, there's a guy in Vancouver who hired me to do advertising sales for basically an ad retargeting product where an ad follows users around on other sites. They visit his scam is that he hires. So that's actually a legitimate business, but it might. Dude. No, he, he, he. Oh, does he hire us to do it for free? And then bam. I'm assuming. Well, see, that's wrong. See, that's fraud. Yeah. So that's employment fraud.

[00:26:00] Well, that's why he said he's still in court for it. Oh, yeah. Are you in trouble or do you mean you're in court like suing the guy? I, well, I assume he's probably part of a class action or the Canadian. I don't know if Canadians have class action. I don't know how their civil courts work, but I imagine it would be the equivalent. But here's the thing about the real world. So. I simultaneously condemn and defend this platform. Oh, he's got it. Oh, no, Haley.

[00:26:30] All right. We'll go see those comments. Finish your point. OK. Yeah. We'll go back to the comments in a second. So it's a scam in the sense that they're really overselling you. Like they're promising you that you're going to get rich. But the fact of the matter is there are things you can learn in there where if if you have nothing else going for you and you have all the time in the world and you're reasonably intelligent, yeah, you'll probably make some money. If you already have a job.

[00:26:58] You're not going to have enough time to devote to that to make any significant amount of money. However, a lot of the content creation that we use in the podcast network. They help grow this channel. I learned in Hustlers University. So. I consider it money well spent, honestly, because I learned a con in there about content

[00:27:25] and I was already a video editor, but they really, really. They did kind of crack the code on that. And I learned a lot about affiliate marketing, even though I didn't make any money off of it. I learned a lot about it. So and make any money then. Yeah. But I mean, the skills translate because I mean, like now we have now we have legit affiliate sponsors like we have them there and they're our friends. All right. Comments now.

[00:27:53] Part of our part of world broadcasts. Haley, I know who she is, but maybe our other viewers part of our film. I fell for a scam where someone gave me a faulty e-check for sixteen hundred dollars for them to make art out of one of my Instagram photos. I don't know. And they asked for it back. They they they gave you an e-check and then asked for it back. And that's a I don't know. That's really a scam. I knew it. I knew it.

[00:28:21] He's he's he's he's he sued the guy. Oh, I had to get the police involved in everything. And they threatened my life and my family's life to seven. Dang. Yeah. Basically, when it sounds too good to be true, it is like it is. The one exception is the RSA Media Podcast Pantheon, where we help you create a podcast and ask for no money. That's actually true. Just just like mutual advertising. Like and honestly, that's these.

[00:28:50] And we're very and we're very, very transparent and clear about it. But thanks for the love. So, yeah. Toast is. Oh, you organize. So you're a post. You're a you're a damn labor organizer. You communist fuck. I just yes, you absolutely sue that motherfucker. Unfortunately, you'll probably never get paid.

[00:29:16] That's the that's the shit part that people never talk about when you sue somebody is the fact that. Oh, my God. Is the fact that they have to have money to pay you, even if you get a judgment. Like if they don't have shit. I'm not a communist. I'm not a communist. I'm not a communist. I'm not a communist. Hey, capitalism. Cover Henry Winkler and B's. I'm sorry.

[00:29:47] Oh, gosh. So, yeah. I deserve this. And see, here's the thing. Like, I still every now and again watch Take Confidential on Rumble. And I'm still entertained. Oh, see, here's the thing. Two business parts. Yeah. Go ahead. No, you're good. He had two business partners who are the ones getting nailed for this now. Oh, that sucks. So basically, he got away scot-free and they're the ones having to pay. Well, that sucks.

[00:30:16] The court has about twenty three thousand dollars being held in escrow while the case plays out. How many how many employees were there that are on this lawsuit? If you can divulge. Hey, OK. Eighty five hundred. Nice. Nice, dude. Then you can start. That's about a full cart of groceries in Canada, isn't it? A cart. It's expensive here, too. I'm just kidding. Yeah.

[00:30:46] Oh, toast. I regret to inform you, my friend. The Breakfast Club name is taken. Charlemagne. Tiffany's. Charlemagne. The God's podcast. I learned this lately. Charlemagne. He's such a cook. A little bit. Sometimes he says smart things and I'm just like, man, like, is it? Yeah. So I'm sorry. You're not going to win that one. We'll rebrand you. You can call it the Milk Toast Club.

[00:31:17] Anyway. No, he's not made of bread like you. I mean, he's got bread. He's got a lot of bread. He's not made of breakfast like me. Oh, I thought you said bread. It's not made of breakfast. I don't understand why. I'll be honest. I don't understand why his podcast is called The Breakfast Club because it really doesn't make any sense. But hey, anyway. But now on a positive note, I want to share.

[00:31:46] Jesus, that's great, man. Balanced Breakfast. There you go. There you go. Done. We'll tweak the logo. You could just be like a balanced breakfast. Yeah. A balanced breakfast podcast or I don't know. The Balanced Breakfast Podcast. Yeah. Anyway. Balanced Breakfast. BB. There you go. So I want to share with you viewers a time.

[00:32:17] Your eggs swing far right. Johnson was swinging this way and then back. I do want to share with our viewers a time. Noise canceling. I can't hear you. I don't know. What do you not know? What you and your lady are doing for Valentine's weekend? We don't know yet. We have not made plans. Don't make any plans at Friday night.

[00:32:47] Let's get together and do something. Let's do it. I'll have to check and make sure that she can. Don't cry. Don't cry. I'm crying right now. He's probably laughing his ass off. I'm sure he is. Toast is a great friend and fan. We love toast. We love toast. With or without butter. Fuck it. I can't eat unbuttered toast. That's not a thing I can do. No, dude. And you come into Indianapolis this summer? Oh, I'm going to.

[00:33:17] I don't know, dude. Trump's going to close down the border. Let's get it. So, but anyway. Anyway. All right. I'm going to share with you guys a positive story. Yeah, toast. Yeah. Yeah, toast. Share with you guys a positive story about shopping online. Where it turns out my guess was right. You will be an American.

[00:33:48] What were you right about? So, okay. I saw another Facebook ad. So here's. This requires a little bit of backstory. But it'll make sense. So, believe it or not. You know this about me. But most people don't. It's a surprise when people find out. I'm actually a big jewelry geek. Like, I love jewelry. But I don't wear any. I thought you were going to tell me you're trans. No. No. I don't wear any jewelry, though. I don't.

[00:34:16] I don't like men's jewelry. I'm not into it. But I love jewelry. I geek out on stones and learning about them in different settings and all that shit. Like, it's borderline homosexual. But it's not quite over the line. But I do. I geek out on it. And I. These are those quiet thoughts you keep to yourself. No. I'm not very quiet about them. However. So, I'm a really big fan of a stone called alexandrite. For those of you who don't know.

[00:34:44] Alexandrite is called emerald by day, ruby by night. Because the stone actually changes colors. The chemical composition of the stone causes it to be either green and certain kinds of light. Or red and other kinds of things. My hair is suspiciously. He does have a pretty hard part, doesn't he? So, I actually have my barber cut that in. Yes.

[00:35:14] And I know that I have a lesbian haircut. I'm aware of it. But I like it. It frames my face well. Look at this thing. Look at it. Seriously. I get it. I know what I'm about. Anyway. So, I'm a big, big nerd for this stone. And it's actually a very rare stone. It's significantly rarer than diamonds. Because I'm trying to remember the... Basically, how much alexandrite is mined in a typical year? It can fill about a wine glass.

[00:35:43] And actually, I think now it's down to a half. It's a very, very rare stone. So, I see it out on Facebook. He's all about equality. I'm going to read that comment here in a second. Pay no attention to this price. I will explain why. So, I see an ad for this ring. Or one similar to it. This isn't the exact ring that I got. But very similar to this. And I see this.

[00:36:12] And I see the price. And I think to myself, there's no fucking way. Now, I will tell you. It is a lab-grown alexandrite. You can tell. But it is... It's real. It's just lab-grown. And I'm a big proponent of lab-grown diamonds for a lot of reasons. But anyway... Yeah, because it's not blood diamonds. Well, but even then... So, I'll get into why diamonds are a bit of a scam. All... Technically, all jewelry is a bit of a scam. Depending on where you buy it from.

[00:36:41] But I saw an ad for this website. And my... You know, my warnings are going off hardcore. But it's a real pretty ring. Like, especially if you like alexandrite. And that is a... I think that's a little over half a carat. It might be right at half a carat. Agreed. Agreed, Toast. Diamonds are a scam. Oh, yeah. For sure. But my point being... So, I go onto this website. And the thing is... I have a woman that I love... In my life that I love very dearly. And we are actually engaged now.

[00:37:11] And I propose to her... Again, not that exact ring. But a ring that I bought from Molly Jewelry. Now, here's the thing. I'm going to share my experience. But before I do that, I'm just going to give you guys an idea. Because it's... They got a lot of really cool stuff. And they got something for everybody. I went to Jared. Don't buy from Jared. Oh, my God. No. Unless you want to pay a lot of money. It was nice, though. Well, okay. So, here's the other thing about jewelry. Is you will get what you pay for.

[00:37:41] But you can get good deals, right? Like, for example. I don't even buy jewelry in the United States anymore. Except for our friends at Molly. Which I found. Because, honestly. Go to the Caribbean. You'll get way better deals. You'll get way better pricing. But you can see. And then our listeners. If you use our special code. Which is in the description. You get 10% off all your jewelry purchases. Now. Here's the thing. You can absolutely...

[00:38:11] Yes, Hakeem. Jared is the subway guy. Different Jared. You should not patronize either. For very different reasons. But. I'm not hating on Subway. They kicked his ass to the curb. They found out. About him. Anyway. Molly Jewelry does offer a lot of very economic options. They will tell you, however. For example. Like, most of their pricing starts at gold plated silver.

[00:38:40] Do not buy that. Buy solid gold. It's still really, really good pricing. They do offer platinum in some options. So. If you really feel like splurging. You can go with platinum. And then. Most of their. Like, diamond S stones start out at moissanite. There's nothing wrong with moissanite. Moissanite is a very, very good alternative to diamonds. But they are different. You can't upgrade to lab grown diamonds. In most cases. Depends on the jewelry piece. Anyway. Segway.

[00:39:11] So. But use our promo code. And you save 10% off your jewelry purchase. However. I would recommend to splurge. On the solid gold bands. And upgrade to lab grown diamonds. But moissanite is fine. That's a me thing. I don't really like it. But that's just me. Now. Here's the story though. So. I'm hedging on this for a few weeks. Because I want to buy an engagement ring. And I was leaning towards diamond. But I like to be weird and unique. So I thought. You know what? But it's a really beautiful. It's a really beautiful ring.

[00:39:40] I like it. I think she'll love it. I want to be different. And. It's actually less expensive. Because it's a lab grown Alexandrite 8. Here's a fun story for you. When I was on my cruise in the Caribbean. I think it was. Yeah. It was on St. Martin. We went to a jewelry store down there. Because we heard rumors. That they had a 3 carat Alexandrite ring there. And we just wanted to see it. Guess how much that ring costs. Just ballpark it. A 3 carat Alexandrite ring.

[00:40:09] On a solid gold band. With some diamond accents. $150. Way more. $1100. Way more zeros. Way more zeros. Oh. Oh. Because it was an actual Alexandrite. Yeah. It's natural Alexandrite. Like $17k. $159,000.

[00:40:39] That's how rare. And actually. Believe it or not. That was a damn good price. There was another place. There was another place. There was a tech event. Oh. It was in a vault. For sure. Like the security guy. Came out with. The guy who showed it to us. It's like. I'm telling you. There was another store. That had a 2.6 carat. That they were trying to sell. For $250. And I looked at her. And I said. There's a place down the street. That's selling a 3 for $159. Like. No. Not that I could have afforded it anyway.

[00:41:09] However. Back to the story. Segway. So I ordered the ring. And I'm already paranoid. Because. Like a good. Online consumer. I did some research. 96. 97% of the reviews were great. And people. All the good reviews that I read. Or. I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. All. The reviews that I. Saw. That had photos. Were like. Five star reviews. Of people showing it. Like there was somebody. That got a ring. Very similar to mine.

[00:41:39] And they have pictures. And they're like. We loved it. She loved it. It's great. It was three years ago. It's still. Everything's good. They do have a warranty. By the way. All the details are on their website. And a care guide. For the love of God people. Follow the care guide. For your jewelry. Don't get mad at the people. When you fuck around. And do the wrong things. Okay. It leads to bad reviews. That reflect poorly. On the business. It's a. Fucking piece of jewelry. Take care of it. But. There were a handful. Of reviews. That gave me pause. And of course. This is after I.

[00:42:09] Ordered the damn ring. One of which. Was saying how. They hadn't even had the ring a week. And. The gold was flaking off. And I was like. The fuck. Turns out. And they tell you this in their care guide. If you buy one of their gold plated pieces of jewelry. They recommend you not wear it to work. And you have to be very careful with it. Because. Gold plating is very very thin. So.

[00:42:38] If you buy gold plated. And I'm saying don't do it. It might be. Within your budget. And it looks fine. If you take care of it. Don't wear it to work. Especially if you're around chemicals. Or washing dishes. Or anything like that. Just don't do it. It could potentially flake. It will. Dude. Like. It's a. It's a matter of time. And if it flakes. It may discolor some people. Because as you know. Silver can discolor. It discolors on most people's skin. Silver will. It just. It tarnishes.

[00:43:08] It just. It's the nature of the metal. Anyway. That being said. I get the ring. Love the ring. And I immediately reach out to them. Because I'm like. This is great. The whole experience was great. Minus my. Minute of paranoia. But they have so many great reviews. That that was quickly laid to rest. They actually delivered early. They say on their site. Most of them require 21 days. For. They do custom ones. Which. That depends on what you want. Or they told me. My. Ring was going to take 21 days. Which is reasonable.

[00:43:38] Because they're going to make it. Right. And I actually got it early. I got it about. Think about six or seven days early. And. I mean. I was just blown away. It's a. Beautiful. There's videos and photos to come. I couldn't show it off that much. Because she didn't know. I was going to give it to her yet. So. I had to be careful. But now she's got it. So now we're good. So I reached out to them. Great. You guys were. You were responsive to. My questions.

[00:44:08] And I basically talked to them about. Being a sponsor. And at first they were like. We're not saying no. But we don't really understand how. Podcasting would work with our marketing strategy. And I said. Aha. I will tell you. And I told them my whole story. And I said. What a podcast can give you. Is someone who is actually bought from you. That has an audience. And will get on their camera. And tell people. I bought from them.

[00:44:38] They're great. It gives you instant credibility. And you guys deserve it. Because your product is top notch. Your prices are fantastic. And you deserve to get the word out there. And then when they gave me the promo code. That gives you guys 10% off. That told me everything I needed to know about this company. So they're awesome. Highly recommend them. All I'm saying is splurge on some of the upgrades. Because they're worth it. But particularly if you're only going to spend extra money on one thing. Like I said. Get the solid gold band.

[00:45:07] That way you just don't have to worry about it. You're good to go. They have a great warranty. Great customer service. But like I said. They're email only. Now. After having interacted with them. I understand why they're email only. They're a very small operation. Which is how they're able to get such great pricing. But if you've ever been in business. You know. Phone calls take up. So much of your time. So I get it. That's what I mean when I say. Certain things are not a red flag.

[00:45:37] I mean. They might be a red flag. But it doesn't mean the company's bad. You have to take stock of all the information. But like I said. Our friends at Molly Jewelry. Look you up. Valentine's Day is coming up. It's a great place to get a Valentine's Day gift. Because not all of it's engagement rings. They have earrings. Pendants. Other jewelry. Just I love you rings. They do have wedding bands. All the luck. So like I said. They're great. And that's an example of. How to take in the risk online. But the other thing too. Is they are based in the United States. Which really helped.

[00:46:09] You know. Assuage my fear a bit. Because if they'd been overseas. I probably wouldn't have. Although. Fun fact. In fact. I have a source to buy. Loose gemstones. That is overseas. Ah fuck it. I'll show you. I'm not going to tell you who they are. Because they're my connection. God damn it. And we haven't worked out a sponsorship deal with them yet. But I'll show you. Because I originally wanted to make my own ring. But I got a 1.8 carat. Lab grown Alexandra. That's the other thing.

[00:46:38] When you're buying jewelry. Some of these you can tell if they're lab grown. Like. If you know you know. Neither one. Neither company. Like. Hid the fact that it's lab grown. So. Anyway. It's really hard to see. But it's a 1.8 carat. Alexandrite loose stone. Bro. I got this for so cheap. I called them. I found their site by accident. I called them. And I said. This is a scam. Right? Like. This. This is a scam.

[00:47:08] Like. There's no way. And the guy on the phone. Told me. And he did have an accent. But that doesn't immediately. Disqualify someone. But the guy on the phone. Told me exactly. What their operation is. They own their own. Gem cutting site. In Thailand. And he said. That's how we're able to do it. So cheap. You know. And. Compared to the US market. Like. He was straight up. And I said. Okay. So I'm going to buy this. If this is a scam. I'm. Fucking coming after you guys.

[00:47:38] And he said. Yeah. It's okay. He said. Yeah. We have a 30 day money back guarantee. T. And I'm like. From the day that I receive it. He said. Yes. From the day that you receive it. Because we track all of our shipments. And it turns out. They have an office in New York. I didn't know that at the time. But they're. They cut all the gems in Thailand. But they ship a lot of them over to the States. Which is how I got it. Because I got it in like four days. I was. Blown away. You don't get to know that one. But Molly Jewelry is great. Because you get the complete thing.

[00:48:09] Done with the jewelry rant. That was just another. That was an example of a positive interaction. With an online retailer. Yeah. Absolutely. As I say. We've all had the. She loved it. She loved it. By the way. She cried. Nice. To be fair. It probably wasn't just the ring. But. She still looks. She looks at it a lot. And. I recommend Alexandrite. If you really want to be unique. That's all I'm saying. Because it's a. It's a gemstone. That a lot of Americans. Still don't know about.

[00:48:39] It's just not sold here. It's everywhere in the Caribbean. But. Here. It's just not. Now that you've mentioned it. I. I remember here. At first. I was like. I've never. Excuse me. I've never heard of that. I was like. Alexandrite. I was like. That sounds. Like made up. And then I was like. No. I feel like. I've heard about it. On like a TV show. Or something. Like. Maybe. But fun fact. They call it Alexandrite. Because. They. It named after. Czar Alexander.

[00:49:08] Because at the time. The Russian flag. Was green and red. And I think. I think. It was first discovered. In Russia. Or close to Russia. Jared is the reason. You stopped eating the subway. Oh now. To be fair. I stopped eating the subway. Because they got rid of the sweet onion sauce. They have that nasty teriyaki sweet onion sauce. Nasty. You want some. You like sauce. I mean. Teriyaki sauce. Yeah. Well the teriyaki sauce. Like.

[00:49:37] I don't know why they didn't think. That their people could put teriyaki sauce. On the chicken. And then the sweet onion sauce. But like. I literally got sweet onion sauce. On every other sandwich. But the chicken teriyaki. I mean. I. If I did get the chicken teriyaki. I did. I did get that. But. It's just not the same. It's gelatinous. It's disgusting. It's. Viscous. I don't like it. Blech. Viscous. It's viscous. I feel. Yeah. I don't know about eating subway. Don't know how.

[00:50:07] It is there. I've never been inside a subway. That had more than one customer inside. Besides myself. Dude. The subways here. Are. Always busy. Yeah. They're always packed. People. Like literally. Will try to. Talk health. And then go and eat a whole loaf of bread. Right. Health. Well. Never mind the fact. Jared did lose all that weight. But he lost that weight from walking. This fucking subway. And then walking back. It's like. I mean. You. You can eat. You can eat healthy.

[00:50:38] At subway. It depends on what you get. The cookies are good. I actually worked at subway. When I was like. 19. And. Dude. I would eat their. Their cookies. They kept them frozen. They were just little ball does. And I. I'd like go in there and eat. Bacon in the walk in. And cookie dough balls. Agreed. Excellent cookies. They are. Very good cookies. But yeah. It. I will say. It is really good experience.

[00:51:07] When you buy a product online. And it's. It exceeds your expectations. It depends on what sandwich you get. Toast. Yeah. He says anyone who doesn't toast their sandwich is a monster. See. I'm. I'm a monster. Because I hate. I hate hard bread. I. It depends. Oh dude. It doesn't make it hard. But like. It. It just gives it that crunch that you need. It's. I don't. I don't want crunchy bread dude. I want soft. Nice. What's your. What's your go to sandwich at Subway? If you. It.

[00:51:37] It. It depends. I actually really like. You can still. You can't get it everywhere. He's a take. Dude. I'm just. I'm sorry. I don't like. I don't like fucking hard bread. If I can kill someone with a loaf of bread. I don't want to eat it. He doesn't want 12 inches of hard bread. Exactly. I want 12 inches of soft bread. So what's the sandwich? Um. Just their. Buffalo chicken. Okay. That's fair. Solid. Well. You don't do. You're not a ranch guy.

[00:52:08] So you just buffalo chicken. Well buffalo chicken. And then like. The. The toppings. And whatnot. I'd hate to bug with me. So he likes sweet chicken teriyaki. Sweet chicken teriyaki is good. It enchants the bread. No it doesn't. If. Italian herbs and cheese. And you get it toasted man. Oh. Get out of here. Oh god. No. No. And I.

[00:52:38] I. I understand I'm weird. I get it. The meat. The meatball is pretty good. Like the meatball is pretty good. But. Everybody always like tries to add stuff. And I'm just like no dude. Just. Just meatballs. And parmesan. Like literally. Maybe. Maybe. Banana peppers. Yeah. In a pinch. I used to get a Philly cheese from them. But if I want a Philly cheesesteak. There's. Four other places I can go to get a better. Philly cheesesteak. But. I don't. I don't go anywhere to get a Philly steak.

[00:53:07] I make them at home man. Because like. I mean yeah. They're so easy. Everyone always lets me down. Shut you. Chanted bread. Tell you. Don't sleep on Hakeem. Hakeem's a clever bastard. He's. He's. He's witty. Chanted bread. In the middle of a pro wrestling podcast. He goes off on this tangent about how much he hates Costco. And I laugh my ass off. It was fucking great.

[00:53:37] I heard Costco's getting rid of the $1.50. Hot dog and drink. I heard it's going up or something. Or was it Sam's Club or something. I don't eat this shit. Sam's Club I do. Their hot dogs are good. I've never had Costco's. I don't know. He said he. Toast said he went to the Costco for the first time ever. Just recently. I've never been in one. I've been in one. I don't get. If you're.

[00:54:06] If you're buying for a family. So okay. There's a. There's a. There's a scam. If you live by yourself. Don't buy a Costco membership. It is not worth it. If you have a family of eight. Abso-fucking-lutely. That's. It's just. Really though dude. Like it. Like even though it seems like cheaper. It depends. It depends on what you're buying. I don't know dude. Like I. I found that like. If you really want a good deal. You have to go to several different stores. That's true. Yeah. Like some things are going to be more expensive over here.

[00:54:36] And vice versa. What not. It's. It's so dumb. I'm just like. Can we all just have the same prices. And then like. I don't know. Like. I like their layout better. Well comrade. In some. Economic. Systems. Everyone has same price. But. What was that stuff in that field man. That was good stuff. I don't know man. What was in that field. No. Limitless. You remember that movie. When.

[00:55:06] When he gives. That dude takes that. He. You've never seen Limitless. No. I know of it. But I haven't seen it. Dude. I know about the limitless. I'm not. I'm not going to get started on it. In Soviet Russia. TV watches you. Oh gosh. So. I miss those jokes. But yeah. So basically. In Soviet Russia. Toilet flushes you. The brain pills. Yeah. They were amazing. NZT.

[00:55:34] This is the Russian space station. I almost got ran over by an 80 year old. Trying to cut the line. Where. Where are you seeing this. It's not coming up on my end. You're not on live chat. Yes I am. Oh. Oh. It's on top. Never mind. All messages. There we go. Not live chat. There you go. I changed that. It changed back. Fucking YouTube is a scam. Trying to cut one day. Hey seriously. No shit.

[00:56:04] How to not get screwed online. Expecting to get monetized so fast. Oh. Believe you me. We've been fighting for so long. Like in five years. The watch time is just. It's never where they need it to be. Because like. I swear as soon as we get to a good spot. They like. I do. Cut off a thousand watch hours. That's the thing. I do. I do think they throttle us sometimes. Oh yeah. Like. That we'll have something that will like. Blow up.

[00:56:33] And it is like blowing up. And it's getting tons of. Engagement. And then all of a sudden it just dies. It's not. I'm like. Like. They say it's. They're pushing the algorithm. But I'm like. Then why are we getting engagement? And you're not still pushing it. Why YouTube? Why? Just like the South Park Country Kitchen episode. Where all the old people are driving. I can't remember that one. But. Oh man. That's. That's. That's a good one. Dude. I need to go back through and watch like all South Park. Like. I. I.

[00:57:02] I really want to revisit the. The. Superhero arcs. That stuff is so funny. I just finished re-watching that. Dude. So good. Dude. Kenny. Kenny. Honestly. Kenny and that one weird kid were the only ones that had powers. Of course. Mint Berry Crunch. Dude. That was so funny. Dude. That's. That's great shit. And that. That blew my mind. Well it didn't blow my mind. But like. When Kenny died. Her mom's is like. How many babies is this? Or no. The.

[00:57:32] The dad asked. How many babies is this now? Oh. It's happening again. She. Every time he dies. She literally has a new baby. Right. Mint Berry Crunch. Crunch. So while we're talking about being scammed online though. Anymore though. Like the major sites. Like. It's. Almost impossible to get screwed on Amazon now. Unless you're an idiot. Like. If you just blatantly buy the wrong thing. And that. And even then. I will say this much.

[00:58:00] I've interacted with Amazon's customer service by phone a few times. And they're awesome. I literally one time. And I wasn't. I was super mad about it. Because I had just moved. And stupid me. I. I. I. Didn't change the shipping address. Like. I still had my old address on there. And I still. And I called them. And I just said. Ah. My package got delivered to my old house. Like. Is there. I was actually inquiring. As if it could go get picked up again. Or. And they just said. Oh.

[00:58:30] Where did you want it shipped to? And I told them the new address. And they said. We'll send out. We'll resend out the item. And I went. Wait a minute. You're just going to send me. Another item. Because I fucked up. Well. That's awesome. You know. They're very good. I. Someone stole a package off our porch. And literally. I don't know when they stole it. But they stole a package off the porch. It was the person who delivered it.

[00:59:00] By the way. Like. They took the picture and everything. And then they took the package off the porch. Dude. But. Then. We got. A replacement. And the funny thing is. The people returned the package opened. On the porch. And I was like. I was like. You would return that? So. I. I think somebody else. Like. Either someone was trying to steal it. Or. A neighbor thought it was theirs. And I was like. Why would you think it's yours? Did you even look at the fucking label? No.

[00:59:30] People do that. People do that a lot. But. And then eBay's got. I forget exactly what they call it. But eBay's got the whole. Like. Fuck eBay. Seriously. Well. I know. I know. You got an issue with them. I'm talking about buying. I almost had $10,000 on the line with them. Yeah. I'm talking about. Just purchasing. Because they have eBay buyer protection. Which is actually. It sucks for people selling stuff. I get it. But for the consumer. It's actually really good. Because it holds the money for you. So. If you're selling something. You don't get your money. Until they get the.

[00:59:59] They like hold it in escrow for you. Which. I get it. It kind of sucks. That's fine. That's fine. That's. That what you're saying. Is fine. But it can be abused. What they did to me. Was not that. And it had nothing to do with the person receiving it. Like literally. They were on the end. Just like. They were like. What's going on? And I was like. I don't know. I was like. I'm not shipping this out. Until they clear my account. I was like. They say I'm fraudulent. Or something like this. I was like. I literally sold one thing. And then. Like literally. One thing.

[01:00:29] My entire career on eBay. Sold one thing. And then. I went to sell. Sell the second one. And then they tried to say that. Just because they were large amounts. That it was. I was going to say. Or something like that. Now I'm just like. Listen. I get it. But I was like. You've talked to me. 30 times. I've given you everything you need. Why am I still like. And my account's like. Ban from selling. Because I made money. And it's like. Oh. Yeah. And even though.

[01:00:59] The person got. The goods. Yeah. And literally. eBay. I guarantee you. They had their money. Out of that. Money. That was. You know. Purchased. Like. I bet. They had their money. Immediately. And then. I'm just sitting there. Waiting for mine. Just like. Oh. I guess this is okay. Yeah. Long story short though. Look at online reviews. There. But I will say this. As somebody who owns a business. And has been. In or around Google reviews. For a long time. If a place has nothing but.

[01:01:29] Five star reviews. I'm not saying they're lying. It's pretty likely. There are services. They're bought. Yeah. Because. Don't buy views. Don't buy likes. That's lame. No. That's lame as fuck. I. It's a point of personal pride. And there have been. Conversations with. Go ahead. I was just going to say. Because literally. Like. When somebody sees it. Like. Let's say you have like.

[01:01:58] 75 or 100,000 subscribers. And you're not getting. Like. We get more watch time. Yeah. And you're not getting commensurate views. Like. It doesn't make sense. Oh. Here's the other thing. Speaking of scamming people. Which is actually kind of an early preview. Um. Don't use AI. To make a podcast. And then try to sell it. As though you didn't use AI. A podcast. It's obvious. And it's lame. And you will not be able. To replicate it long term. Here's the thing. We're going to be unveiling. A new.

[01:02:29] Podcast. In air quotes. In March. Using AI. The difference is. We're up front about it. And I actually turned it into a joke. But it will be. It will be marked. As AI generated. The whole joke. Is that it's two AI robots. Talking about our shit. Like. That's the joke. Right. I have zero issue. With people using AI. As long as they're up front about it. To create content. And that's why they have things like.

[01:02:59] Mark this as AI generated. Actually. You'll enjoy this. The debut episode. They're doing an annotation. Like they're discussing. Our deep dive on Titanic. It actually makes this sound. Really fucking smart. That's the thing. Toast. We don't know. He's not AI. AI. What is. AI. He said. That's not AI. That's just a. Malfunctioning robot. I don't know. I don't know. But what was I saying? Alcohol. Alcohol induced.

[01:03:30] Yeah. Eric's real. This shit right here. Isn't too perfect. This is too perfect. I don't. Dude. I haven't combed my hair. Since like 1993. Shit. Wait. It is. Speaking of. Speaking of hair. This is funny. Do you remember my hair. My long ass. Skater hair. That everybody was jealous of. And I was just too lazy to cut it. Back in like 2007.

[01:04:01] Mm-mm. Okay. We weren't. We weren't. We weren't. We weren't. It was. It was the same in high school though. I hadn't changed. I just. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to see that. You want to go back in time. On down the middle. I'm re-uploading our. Old episodes of. The internet show. I did back in 2007. Weekly wrestling wrap up. And Jesus. My hair is long. Like. It's. It's fucking bad. But the thing is. I used to. That was a thing man. I used to get compliments. That was a thing man. All the time.

[01:04:29] Like people thought I did it intentionally. And I was. I was just lazy. That's all it was. I was just too lazy. I couldn't be bothered to go get my hair cut. And I find that. Hilarious. I got a big ass. Wrinkle forehead. So that's. That's why I've always had long hair. I'm insecure. Oh. What. What's your opinion of Timu? I've never used it. Me neither. But. I don't trust it. My wife.

[01:04:59] She worked at a business. She's got stuff off Timu before. And it's okay stuff. But like. See. I've used. I've used stuff on Wish. Here's the thing though. I understand. Because I did some research. And I watched a few videos. I understand how Timu works. And. You're not. It's the same thing as TikTok shop. Yeah. I mean. The thing is. You're. You're not going to get screwed. I don't trust that app. At fucking all. I refuse to use it. I will never use Timu. You're going to get what you order. It might not be the size. That it looks like.

[01:05:29] Well see. The thing is. I used. I used Wish. And I figured out how to. Engage it sometimes. This sounds super racist. But it's true. If you're. And I imagine Timu is the same way. If the person in the picture is. American looking. Order a size big. Like one size big. And you'll be fine. I'm not. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If the person in the photo is. Chinese. Order like three sizes too big. And you might get close.

[01:06:01] Using sweatshop labor prices. To collect American consumer data. To compete in the American economy. Through CCP owned shell companies. Listen here toast. Like holy shit. Dude just had a red pill moment. Well no. Not only that. This is what I really. So. Timu. I guarantee that's true though. Well Timu. Timu was owned by. I think it's owned by a few factories. That create these products. And the thing is. When they ship one. They don't have to pay import taxes on it.

[01:06:32] If you ship under a certain number. You don't have to pay import taxes on it. Or at least you pay. I think you pay lower. I don't think you don't pay any. But. And the other thing is. Now they don't have to. They don't have to guess. Like. They make a picture of it. It doesn't even have to be a fully functioning item. They make the picture. And they put it on Timu. Because it's under a certain amount. Agree Hakeem. Yeah. Just small things. I got a. I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.

[01:07:00] But my wife used to work for a business. And they were a. Timu pickup stop. You know. People could come in and pick up stuff. The shop got a small tiny cut. Off each package. But. They would get. Packages. That people would never come pick up. And. You don't. Like. They don't ask for them to be returned. Right. So like. She got things. And I actually got a shirt. And it's a. It was a Goku shirt. But it was like. Kind of weird. Nice. And it. It fit like a potato bag.

[01:07:31] Yeah. They do sometimes. Oh. It was terrible. But like. Yeah. Like. I. Because like I said. I use Wish. I got some really cool shit. And I got some stuff. What about Trump's China tariffs? They don't apply for single goods. Because that's just. That's the equivalent of like. USPS versus a shipping company. They don't apply for the whole. The whole company. Like. No. Tariff is just. Included in on like. It's the cargo.

[01:08:01] Anything that comes to the port. Yes. To be sold here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Which. Whatever. They don't make up a lot of our GDP. So. Not really. Not really. But. I will say this. Canada and Mexico. Right. I will say this though. Because. And I. I honestly don't know how to pronounce it. So it's either Shine or Sheen. The clothing app that's owned by Timu. Same company. B-I-N. Yeah. Yeah. Is it Sheen or Shine? I thought it was Sheen. I think it's Sheen.

[01:08:31] Yeah. The fiance uses Sheen. Big fan. I'm a fan. Not gonna lie. China can have her data. I'm okay with it. The problem I have with it is they use delivery companies I've never heard of. And sometimes they'll deliver to the wrong address. Yeah. That's true. You see what Hakeem said though. They have really cool stuff for cheap.

[01:09:01] You can only get stuff like that because of the communist slave labor camps. That's true. That's true. Well but not only that. It's pretty obvious. That's like if you buy Nike. No but here's the thing. They clearly. So here's another thing. I love those Nike SBs though. Anyway what? Timo is probably the best example of this. So when you look at a service and because I see those ads for Timo all the time and it's like you know get $50 free or like get this item and it's like an item that you actually want.

[01:09:31] Like I've been tempted so many times to get their printed label and I know people that got it so I know it's a legitimate product. Is and like you're tempted if a company is trying that hard to get you to just log into their platform so they can give you free shit. They have an ulterior motive. I don't know. Are you talking about Timo again? Yeah. I don't know what it is. It's not. They have a free.

[01:09:55] It's like take 100% off three items but you have to buy three items first in order. It's still but it's still but it's still a good deal. Right. It's literally pennies of products that they're giving you. Oh no. Oh yeah. Buy three things but they got to equal $35 and we'll give you these three pogs. No no no. It was a legit. I've seen somebody. I've seen that label maker in person. It's a really good label maker. It's easily $150.

[01:10:25] Yeah exactly. Toast said most likely what they sell they sell at a loss. I guarantee it. Yeah but it's a loss leader. So that's. Those are some quality wallets. Yeah they are. Wallets. Wallets. Well that's. Someone should. Someone should make wallets that you know call them quality wallets when they're just called wallets. Wallets. Well that's a quality wallet right there son. Oh. I open it up and go.

[01:10:56] I sell quality wallets. You'd really feel the same. Quality accessories. I saw wallets and quality wallets and quality wallet accessories. Wallety wallet. Quality wallet. Quality. Does anybody. Okay this is. They're probably in danger but does anybody hunt koalas? Maybe make koala hide wallets? Call them koalas? Dude those things are evil. It's also a miracle they're not dead.

[01:11:27] Like. They're so dumb. All of them. Well it's probably because of all the inbreeding. A wallet chain. There you go. That's a wallet accessory. What the fuck is a wallet accessory? Yeah exactly dude. Like everybody had a wallet chain back in the late 90s. Yeah they did. That shit was cool. I didn't think it was cool. But like. It's a thing. Google it. Wait koala wallets are a thing. Oh koalas having herpes is a thing. I was like wait what? Koalas are sluts. Is it?

[01:11:57] Koalas have herpes. Yes. They all have herpes. I. I think yes. I think they all have herpes. They need to drink some bleach. Just kidding. Don't do that. Koalas. I don't know. Oh funny. Fun. Fun fact. There's not a. There's not a literal koala hide wallet. But there is an app. Called koala wallet. A friendly wallet for crypto and NFTs.

[01:12:27] So. Kind of. NFTs. Biggest scam ever. Yeah. NFT stands for not fucking tangible. Don't buy them. Nice. Wait. Okay. Not fucking tangible. Fuck. Okay. Now. Now I'm. Now I'm in a rabbit hole. So apparently Louis Vuitton sells something that's called a koala wallet. But I don't. Know.

[01:12:58] I don't know why it's called a koala wallet. Solar flare pants. Never heard of those. We had JNCO up here. Or down here. I don't know if they had JNCO where you were. Like they're huge pants. Liberty Spikes. Slipknot t-shirt. Dog collar wallet chain. I wasn't quite so progressive. I did. I did have some. Some pretty cool shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Big bag of jeans.

[01:13:29] Yeah. Okay. Apparently. Apparently they do not make koala hide wallets. I figured they did. But. It wasn't a brand. It was a lifestyle. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Because man. Like. You'd just be. Bending down. The wallet pops right out. Oh. So. You'd be proud of me though. Because I learned about my online. I learned something from my online. Crypto and shopping experience. So I saw another ad on Facebook.

[01:13:58] About a USB cloud miner. And at first. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I clicked on it. And I was like. Okay. This seems like. If you believe the fairy tale. It seems really cool. But this time. I researched. These kinds of products. And here's the thing. They're real. Your returns are shit. And. Basically. Every review that I found credible. Said the same thing. They're like. No. You can make money. It's just out of your hands.

[01:14:29] And you have to be. Really lucky. And it's super rare. So. They're cheap though. It was only like 32 bucks. But. I'm like. Okay. If they're selling these for 32 bucks. How long is it going to take me. To make $30. And most people said 18 months. And I'm like. 18 months to make $32. No. It's not worth it. Boo boo. No. It's boo boo. Buy us. Fuck boo. Fuck you. Well really quick. Oh go ahead. No. I was going to say.

[01:14:58] The cloud mining shit. There is another operation. And it's. It's a. It's seemingly a little more. Legit. But like. I would actually want to see. The facilities. If you have a miner. Like a. Like not a child. Crypto miner. Nor someone who physically mines. Say it's an ASIC. Like a. Applicated specific integrated circuit. You literally have to have. Certain types of power plugs. And you have to have a lot of juice.

[01:15:27] There are these warehouses. That will actually rent out their space. And electricity to you. For like. 10. 11 cents. Per kilowatt. And. Or something like that. That. And then. Basically. You are connected. And. You're in control of everything. That it's just at their warehouse. And you just pay them electricity. And I. I looked into that for mine. Before I decided to get plugs in my own house. And. Yeah. But.

[01:15:57] That's. That. It's not actually. I wouldn't say it's a scam. But. You definitely have to make sure that. You. I don't know. I'd almost want to fly out. And visit the place. Yeah. And see what it's all about. And talk to someone personally. Rather than just. Emailing back and forth on the internet. Yeah. Legitimately. But actually. Our next. Our. Our other sponsor. For future miners out there. Right. Our. Our other sponsor for this episode. Is actually a very similar story. Great. I found this service. I can't remember. I think.

[01:16:27] I think it was an ad that I saw. But I was intrigued. So I checked it out. Went to their website. It is a paid service. But honestly. For what you're getting. It's. It's really inexpensive. And if you use our. Promo code AIP. In the description. You say 5% on your first 12 months of payments. If you elect for the monthly subscription. I paid the yearly. But. You still say 5%. But. This is. AI. So. If you create content like we do. Then you understand.

[01:16:54] It takes a very long time to make good shorts. You can make shitty shorts in seconds. But. To make good shorts. It takes a very long time. Especially if you're doing it the old fashioned way. Like I was doing for years. I found wizard.ai. Which is a shorts generation. And clips generation. But I use it for shorts. As shorts generation. Piece of software that uses AI. To select your most. Potentially viral sections. And turn them into.

[01:17:24] 30 to 90 second shorts. Complete with captions. That are editable. Or removable. It auto reframes your videos for you. Which you can tweak. And very easily do so. It saves me so much time. Like honestly. I can crap out. Like. 10 to 20 shorts in an hour. It's ridiculous. Do you have any. Like. Like. So the most recent ones. That we have. Are they from. From that service. Is.

[01:17:53] So how you can tell. Usually. If I've used wizard.ai. To create a short. Is if it's like. The two views. Like the two. If you see two people. On the screen at once. Like. What do you. Jeez. What do you call that? By. By view. I don't know. When you see. One. One. One. One shot on top of the other. Pretty clear indicator. Although I've learned to do that myself. But wizard. Does it super fast. I usually do my own captions. To be fair. But.

[01:18:22] That's because it's really easy to do in CapCut. And it's easier to customize there. But you can totally do it. Through wizard.ai. I just don't use it. Through them. But what I really like. Is the viral score. It gives you. So it tells you. On a score of one to ten. Which usually. They don't go past like. Six or five. Because if it's less than that. It's not really worth generating. But it tells you. Why that clip is going to go. Potentially go viral. And they don't make any guarantees.

[01:18:52] But here's what really impressed me. I love the platform. It's a great tool. But what really impressed me. Is after I signed up. I sent them an email. With some questions. And they offered me. A chance to. Sit in a zoom call. Because I had a lot of questions. They offered me a zoom call. With one of their. Developers. And I said. You know what? Yeah. Because I'm curious about this company. It's a younger company. They're hungry. And basically. I had some questions. About certain issues.

[01:19:21] Not issues. I'm sorry. Certain features. They may or may not have. Everything that I laid out. That I couldn't see. They either already had. And I just needed to learn. How to use it. Or they're going to be. Rolling them out this year. One of which being. Longer clips creation. Because right now. It's limited to three minutes. They said they're expanding that. To at least 15 minutes. Out of the videos. The other feature. That I kind of learned. Was awesome by accident. Is their auto translate feature. Because one of our podcasts. Had a guest.

[01:19:51] That was Japanese. And did not speak English. So. Yeah. I had to. I ended up having to use. Their translate function. Which was. Awesome. And it. It translated. Their voice. Into English. No. Captions. Captions. But still. That's fine. I mean. It saved me so much time dude. Like. It's not. It's ridiculous. It's. I don't even want to talk about. How much time. And how less of a headache. It was. I had to tweak.

[01:20:21] And it's. It's nothing wrong with the app. It's just how sentence structure. Differs between English and Japanese. I had to tweak. Certain things. To make it sound a little bit more. Colloquially. American English. But. It did translate. Accurately. I just rephrased it. To make it a little bit more. Normal sounding. But other than that. It was great. And it auto generated. The captions for me. It was. Phunomenal. Absolutely. Phunomenal. I cannot say enough. Good things about visitor.ai. And like I said. We're an affiliate. Sponsor with them.

[01:20:50] And it is. Awesome. Like. I want to go. I want to go to Japan. Me too. Toast. I want to go so bad. And the funny thing is. My wife has a friend. That's potentially. That's. Supposed to be going to Japan. Like. Lucky. I need to go back somewhere. Where they speak Spanish. So I can feel smart again. I would feel so dumb there. Nah. What'd you call. What'd you call me? The fuck'd you call me?

[01:21:21] I mean. To be fair. Don't call me that. I mean. To be fair. Especially if you go to Mexico. Japanese food. Yeah. The thing is though. If you go to Mexico. It probably was an insult actually. They insult in jest. But yeah. Japan would be a sweet trip. That would be. That would be fun. It's still a goal of mine one day. To go to the Tokyo Dome. For a Wrestle Kingdom show. So. Hakeem. We're going to get rich. And we're going to make that shit happen. That would be sick.

[01:21:51] Down the middle. Live from the Tokyo Dome. You understand Spanish. But don't speak it. On account of my Portuguese. Man. I can barely speak English. Nah. Spanish. Once you get over the hurdle. Spanish is actually not. That. It is initially. That. It is initially difficult to learn. But once you get over a certain hurdle. It becomes a lot easier. Like any language. I suppose. But. But yes. Anyway. Visitor.ai.

[01:22:21] Highly recommend them. Use our promo code in the description. Save 5% off your payments. It is great. I did not know that toast. So. Origato. Originated from the Portuguese. Abrogado. And that is actually because. Douche. I did not know that. Interesting.

[01:22:51] If. If that's the case. It's probably because. The Portuguese. Were one of the few people. Along with the Dutch. That were allowed to trade in Japan. When they were closed off. From the rest of the world. For a few centuries. So. That would make sense. Centuries. Da da da da. Da. Da da da da. It's not a bad song. Portuguese settlers. Dude. Dude. I can't stand that song.

[01:23:20] Because I had an employee. Play it all the time. In the kitchen. I was like. When I bandaged a restaurant. Ugh. I don't know. I'll be like. Listen dude. Can you play another song? Not for centuries. For centuries. Remember me. Or however that goes. So yeah. Actually. That's another example of a win. That stunning canvas behind you. Not a sponsor.

[01:23:49] But a website that I found. And turned out to be a hell of a deal. If you want canvas wall art. Canvaschamp.com. They are fucking phenomenal. Very affordable. And actually. I'll go ahead and show you. Bought a few from them. Over the years. Oh. Shit. Can't. There's a lot. Just take my word for it. There's a few. Dude. That's cool. Well the thing is. It's funny.

[01:24:19] Because once you order from them once. They keep sending you coupons and shit. So like. Some of these were effectively only like 12 bucks. AIP for president 2028. Let's go. Yeah. We'll see. His name is. His name is Bi. Actually. I have. Officially. I made an executive decision. In order to give a giant middle finger. To Robbie Williams. For stealing from us. He is now Robbie. That's fair.

[01:24:48] I just felt less evolved. Shut up. Cry baby. Hey. I like that movie. Oh. I've got a good voice. And I can sing really well. Oh. Let me cry. Do that with a British accent. Can I have some tea please? It's George. Oh. It's George. Ah. Dude. I know how we did it. No. I did.

[01:25:18] I did like better. I don't think there's going to be a better stand up. Like. Than Shane Gillis. That first stand up he did. Like. I don't think there's going to be a. Well. Not his first stand up. But the one that was most popular. I don't think there's going to be a better one. Like. How do you top that? I don't know. If anybody can do it. His Trump on the Kill Tony was amazing. That was. Yeah. That was good stuff. I was going to say. If anybody can top that. It's Shane Gillis. He can. He's. He's a funny dude. He's good. But like. Dr. Phil's is funny.

[01:25:47] But the person impersonation is not that good. But like. Just his comedy is hilarious. Yeah. The doc. Dr. Phil. I don't. I'm not trying to. Eric was raised by a couple Southerners. Southerners. Jake was. Jake was raised by a couple of them Northerners. Them Yankees. Oil. Oil. Oil. Yeah. I'm familiar with oil. I've always.

[01:26:16] I've always said that just fine. I don't have much of a. Southern draw accent. And honestly. If I. If I drink a lot. Or something like that. It comes out. But not too much. Hearing people from Alabama say. Lucas Oil Stadium is quite funny. Oil. It's the one about oil. Yeah. My. My brother. My stepbrother. He. He's from Arkansas. And he. He has. Oil. Oil. Oil. I was like. What?

[01:26:46] Y'all cook him. Y'all cook him with oil. Oil. Well. That's like people. Around here. They say. Warsh. And that drives me insane. They do. Or they say. Washington. And I'm just like. Where's the fucking R? Or. Or. Or they say. Both. Like. Both. Both. With an L. And I'm just like. Where the fuck's the L? I was like. You guys spell these things. When you're in. In. Kindergarten. Like. What the hell? How do you. Yeah. Warsh. Yeah. Exactly. It's Jones. Washington. Washington.

[01:27:15] I have to force myself to do it. Because it sounds so. Warsh. A warsh rag. A warsh rag. You want to wash some clothes? Damn. Horsh. I need to wash some clothes. I got some oil on them. Yeah. It's. It's silly. It's like. How did I get scammed online? Fine. Don't say warsh. It helps. And then plus. Our certain affinity for this area of the Midwest. To add a possessive S. On to places that don't have them. Like. Kroger's. Yeah.

[01:27:45] Going to go down to Kroger's. Or Myers. Nobody says Walmarts though. I have noticed that. Walmarts. There's a line. They call it Wally World. Well. I mean. Yeah. Wally World. He says. Sorry. I got off track. You're good dude. I mean. We can't sit there. And talk about the same topic. All the time. Like. It won't be interesting. I seriously though. Speaking. Going back to scams. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. I get so annoyed though. With my business partner. Because he'll.

[01:28:16] These emails come through. That are fucking obvious scams. He's like. You're telling me there's hot chicks. Five miles away. That want me. No. Not that. But there's people that like. Obviously fake. And he wastes so much time. Like. Interacting with these fucking things. And it's like. They're bullshit dude. Just stop wasting. Stop wasting your time. Or like.

[01:28:46] Say. If you have. You. You would know this too. But like. Like on TikTok. Or. Not necessarily YouTube. But TikTok mainly. But. When you post videos on there. And whatnot. Start have a following. You'll get like. People who want to message you. And be like. Oh. I could help you take it. To the next level. And I'm like. I'm not paying for that. Right. Exactly. If it happens. It happens. If it doesn't. I'm just having fun with it. No. But. But we made a joke sponsorship. About Bank of Nigeria. Once. That was pretty funny.

[01:29:15] My go-in prince. Turned out my shitty wall. My damn Magari. Dude. Oh man. When. When. When they put in the Japanese. Sushi restaurant. Next to the city. City sushi. Yeah. Oh man. I get offered to be a brand ambassador. Every other week. Right. Toast.

[01:29:45] Toast. Have you heard the song Toast? French Toast? I think I've told them about it. I don't know. Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom. Now. If you've never heard that. Look it up. Heywood Banks. Heywood Banks. Well. I just. I just know. He was on. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Toast. Dude. That. That. That. That shit was so corny. When we were kids. But then like we grew up. I don't know about Jake. But we. I grew up singing it. It was like. Oh yeah. Dude. Oh yeah. Dude. I had. I had that album. I had that.

[01:30:15] Heywood Banks album. My mom gave it to me one year. What about. Car. Car commercials. Like. Where they have the singing. Capital city. Ford. Ford. I still. I still get kicks out of the Shane Company commercials. If you're from the area. You know. Shane Company. Now. Is it jewelry? Yeah. In the diamond business. Now you have a friend in the diamond business. Shane Company. Off 96th Street. And Hague Road. Just east of I-69. Open Monday. Through Friday till 8. Saturday and Sunday till 5.

[01:30:45] And then after high speed internet became a thing. That added. Online. At ShaneCo.com. That. Fucking thing. Played on the radio. Eight. Billion. Times a day. Hey. At least they know you want your sandwich toasted. He said it makes it. He says. They start singing and dancing. Anytime he walks into a room. He says. It makes it really difficult to order my sandwich. It's a funny.

[01:31:16] Well I think that's. Probably about time to wrap it up. Unless you can think of another scam story. No. Keep it safe. Wrap it up. I'm sure I'll think of about four tomorrow. But yeah. Oh I. I probably had 10. 15 of them going into this. But it's okay. That's. This is how it goes. Just. That's the way she goes bud. I'd say probably the best piece of advice I could give you though. There's two. One is. If it seems too good to be true.

[01:31:45] It probably is. Trust your. Watch out for the Chinese. And if. Trust your gut. If it feels fishy. It probably is. Oh and another thing. When you're searching on Google. Don't. Fucking click the top. Things that pop up. Like if there's a. X marks. X mark in it. Like. Don't click the X. It's not an X. The top of the window. Has a fucking X. That's the only X.

[01:32:15] That kills the fucking. Website. There's no X. On the website. Like. Is this making sense to you? Like. Like. I swear my mom would get caught. So many times. Because like. She would be clicking. Like. Say there was a window browser. Yeah. And then. Within the window browser. There'd be another little tiny window browser. That was fake. And it was meant for you to click on. Yeah. So that they could get you. And I was like. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't pump for that shit. Don't touch it. Put it down. Don't pump for it. And look at reviews. Just general good knowledge. But.

[01:32:45] Anyway. I digress. Continue. Well that was it. So. So don't get scammed. Be smart. And if you do get scammed. Try to get your money back. But. Sometimes you just got to take the L. Like. Trump won right? Like this. This is for science. Trump won. So I'm going to say. Eminent. What Eminem said. Be smart. Don't be a retard. Don't cancel me.

[01:33:14] Eminem said it. Not you. Oh yeah. Right. Okay. All right. Oh. Other. Other. Real quick though. Real quick though. This is just a big thing for me. If you're ever approached with any sort of opportunity. And you have to pay money. To make money. Don't fall for it. Because. I ran into this. When I was doing freelance video work. The other thing is too. To a certain extent. I'm a big proponent. Especially when you're young.

[01:33:44] And just breaking in. Yeah. Do work for free. But do work for free. On your terms. Because it's something that you want to do. Don't fall for these people. It's like. Oh yeah. Well you'll get exposure. And opportunity. It's like. No. Work for free. To hone your stills. Get something in your. Get something in your. You know. That you can showcase. Yeah. Because. People who have money. Don't fuck around. Like. Nope. They just. They don't. And people who have money.

[01:34:15] Don't require you to give them money. In order to make money. Unless it's an investment. That's laid out in a contract. Exactly. Yeah. Get a fucking contract. Contract. It's different. Oh my god. Get a fucking contract. Every time. And have it looked at. And have it looked at. Yes. If you're ever in Toronto. Watch out for the gypsies. Who drive by. Drive around. And try to give you gold jewelry. They'll put it in your hand. And then once you're wearing it. Ask you for a donation. Toast. That is actually.

[01:34:43] A really good point. When you're traveling abroad. It's a tactic. In some countries. They'll do that. Don't accept anything. Don't even engage. Because that's the bullshit. Egypt. When you go to. I hear. Yeah. When you go to the pyramids. Like yeah. Yeah. I've watched videos. It's crazy. Yeah. It's wild. Don't interact. It's kind of dangerous too. Like some of them are sketchy. I will say this though. And again. Take this with a grain of salt. Because it depends on where you run the situation. Generally speaking. Street vendors in Mexico.

[01:35:13] You're good. Like they're selling. They're selling chips and water and shit. Like. And it's cheap. Generally speaking. You're good. Especially at the border. There's a bunch of people selling a bunch of stuff. And they're. They're. They're legit. But they operate in cash too. So it's not like. Yeah. You're probably not going to get screwed right next to the border. It's probably not going to happen. Maybe. But yeah. The jewelry. If somebody gives you the jewelry. First. It's fake. Oh yeah.

[01:35:43] It's. It's going to be fake. Anyway. All right. Thank you for enjoying this episode of the Average Intelligence Podcast. Be sure to check out our friends at Molly Jewelry. Remember.
