From the art of the deal to keeping it real. Live from the Simply Vegas studios, it's The Power Move with John Gafford. Welcome back. Welcome back. Back again. Back again. Back again. It is The Power Move. I'm your host, John Gafford. Somehow more powerful. More powerful. Somehow. More powerful again.

Reached into the ether. I know, I did. I dug deep for that one. Greater amounts of power. I did. More movement, lots of power. To my left, as promised with his new nickname, Weekly...

I think we go with a handsome guy. Look at the thing I just got right now. Yeah, Colt Dayshift Amidon. Wildly appropriate, but you are incredibly handsome. Thanks. What? Come on. What's that service cost? I think we're going to refer to him as Dayshift for the rest of the day. Yeah, Colt Dayshift Amidon. And Chris Connell, Esquire. Counselor, how are you? How are you? Living the dream. Living the dream indeed. Well, you know what's funny, man, is lots to talk about, lots to unpack today.

And I got to tell you, I saw some weird stuff this week that I wanted to kind of talk about and unpack. Some of that was on the day shift. No, I don't want to say you really think I'm the day shift. That's where I'm at. You said he'd give you a new handle every week. Yeah, but I think that I'm at least mid swing shift. Swing shift? Swing's better than day. Yeah, it is. It is. I tell you what, I tell you what, I tell you what.

We're going to put you up on Satellite Show Bar 3 for a couple of days. We're going to see how it goes. We're going to see how the crowd reacts. All right? All right. You got to stop dancing to Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree. That is not doing you any favors at all. You got to get the crowd going, Colton. At some point, you got to blame yourself for going to the show. Song choices on you, buddy. I can't. There's only so much we can do with this.

But now, you know, it's funny we talk about Colt's second job as a daytime stripper because obviously it doesn't take a lot to notice. If you've been out lately, there's a lot of jobs available and there's a lot of people just not working, as you've seen.

And it's really interesting. And I read a very interesting article the other day in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which, you know, Pulitzer Prize winning, I believe it is here in Las Vegas. Unbiased. And it was funny. And one of the things, it was talking about why there's a labor shortage and why people aren't going back to work. And a couple of quotes from it that I thought were interesting were from UNLV professors of economics or whatever they were.

And I don't have it exactly in front of me, but I'm going to paraphrase the best of my ability because I just kind of sat there and stared at it. Like, you ever read something and you're like, did I read that? Read it three other times. Wait a second. I had to have misread that. That didn't make any sense. It said, this professor said, and the quote that I remember said, during the pandemic and now coming out of it or whatever, coming out of the unemployment, people have obviously reevaluated their relationship with money and it's just not that important to them.

Okay. You know what's funny about that, though? I think that that is actually quite accurate in a very perverse way. Do you know what I think it is? Oh, go ahead. Yeah. It's just we grew up money as a necessity for freedom. Yeah. Now, I think when people realize, again, it's kind of a weird situation that I do think that there is a perverseness to that that rings true.

People don't necessarily have the Ferrari ambitions maybe that they once did. So you watch TikTok, you watch Instagram, all these people out there balling their ass off. Yeah. Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Oh, yeah. I got to tell you, the reality of that is slim to few people have that kind of floss. Okay, but I'll get this way, right? There are a ton of jobs available out there. And it is everything. I think what's happened is...

Most Americans that had those jobs that you know are that are let's just call them jobs just their jobs Yeah, it's a job. You show up you go into drone mode and you just get it done and

They don't want those jobs anymore. And that's why, you know, the other day we go to Baskin Robbins and how many flavors Baskin Robbins? What are they famous for? Does anybody remember this? 31. 31. You know how many flavors they had at Baskin Robbins? Six. Three. Three. Did they have quarterback crunch? I'm not even joking. That's a mess. Three straight flavors at Baskin Robbins. That's all you get. That's 10x deflation. Yeah, dude, it was insane. And of course, you know, they're just like this. COVID. What are you going to do? Dude. And...

It's crazy. So I'm reading further in this article, and it's talking about workforce valuing freedom over money. They want freedom of things. And some of these apps, I'd never heard of this before. I don't know if you've heard of this. There's an app called Bacon. Have you heard of this thing yet? No. All right.

Essentially what bacon is, is it's gig work for those drone jobs. Like it's, you need warehouse help. You need some basic job you need done. You need a restaurant dishwasher, whatever you need. They just put up the shift on bacon.

And you go and you do the job and you leave. But it's exactly the point of the app. But it's your choice if you go to work or not. Like 100% in your choice what you do. Well, I mean, here's the thing. The argument on the right is that people are just kind of lazy, entitled, and they're just watching their own futures dwindle. The argument on the left is we need to pay people a gajillion dollars over market so that people feel respected and whatever. Right.

And I look at it and I go, when you look at the economics of all this, wages are set based on supply and demand, right? Sure. So they're going to move how they move. Every economics professor that I've ever met

left or right, looks at it and goes, you know, minimum wage is a big problem. If you spike it to 15, you're going to lose a lot of jobs. The aggregate net effect is a decrease in jobs. So I think a lot of people compete. No, no, no. See, I don't think so. I don't think it's a decrease in jobs. I think it's a decrease in businesses. I think you see a lot of businesses just completely sink. It's a decrease in supply of jobs. Just go under. I think what a lot of people are seeing is I think all three of us are kind of our own business, right? And I think what people realize is they're just –

in this rut day to day and all of a sudden it came to a stop. And they're like, you know what? This is kind of nice that I'm here with my kids at, you know, 3 o'clock. I think if they made it more remote on the ones that they could, it would get it. See, that's the problem, though. Some of these jobs require you to be there to move a box from point A to point B and put it on a truck so it arrives at this other location. What happens? Automation. Yeah. But we had a doctor who was like, ugh.

It's not like being there that long. It's like, you're a doctor. You think you can do this remote, which there are. But I think people saw the freedom. I mean, I think me and you, that's what was the allure to real estate was the freedom, right? And I think that's what people sit there and say, well, do I need that nice car? Maybe I can dumb down my car a little bit and have a little more freedom. I think people are starting to realize, hey, maybe the Kardashian lifestyle is...

That's not realistic. And let me have a little bit of freedom where I can hang out with my guy. I would just like to say, I just want to say one thing very clear about that, which is, Cole, if you look like a Kardashian, you'd get off day shift.

If you just made the effort. I am way better looking than you. What's the guy's name? There's a lot of people. Rob? No. Way better looking than you. There's a lot of people on the night shift, John, that aren't necessarily as handsome, but who put in the effort. Yes. It is a bad effort. It is a bad effort. You got a smile on your face? Yes. You want to be here? That's exactly right. Guess what? Have you ever seen an unfiltered picture of the Kardashians? Of course. I'm way better looking than the Kardashians. I'm not going to disagree with you, buddy. No, I'm not either. Handsome guy. I'm not either.

I can see you and what is it? No, I'm not machine gun Kelly. The other one, I could totally see you guys dating. Oh, she's actually the hottest one. The oldest. No, no, no. Travis, Travis bag marker one. Oh, I don't know. Here's the question though. Here's the question though. Every time I see those, those girls now licking their boyfriends on TV, I'm thinking the show's over. And I, one, one word comes to mind. Thirsty.

a little thirsty and that was the pamela anderson like last cry for attention i'm gonna lick kid rock on the end of this yacht well it wasn't kid rock buddy but yeah she was looking a lot of people there's a lot of licking going on from her yeah i mean it's your last hurrah go for it girl but you know i think the point of today's show is where we lead off talking about this stuff is the is i want to talk about the side hustle i want to talk about how to get a side hustle when it's a good idea to get a side hustle how do you balance that out and how you take it and create

income from relatively of some obscure places. We do have an in-studio guest today on today's episode that's kind of interesting. This is a cat that I met not too long ago. I ran into him at one of Sean Kelly's crypto events and he came up and he's like, hey bro, I wanted to meet you. And I'm like, what's up, man? And he told me his name and we were chatting and I was like, what do you do? And he's like, get to him. And he's like, I smack people for money. I'm like,

what? He goes, yeah, I'm slapped for cash. And I look, I'm like, oh my, and as soon as you said it, like I knew who he was from like the internet videos of him smacking the absolute taste out of people's mouth for money. I can't believe Colt has volunteered. I know it's going to be so in-house later. I thought I got a slap in. No, no, no, no. He's, he's slapping. No, you go back and

Oh, really? Yeah, it's a contest. He comes first, then you go. This could be your forgery into the Olympics. This is Johnny Knoxville. Right here. It could be it. I mean, this might ruin my Olympic career. No, all I'm going to say is when you see this dude, your tune is going to totally change about wanting any pieces. Is he going to be like my size or is he going to be Chris' size? Yeah, he's closer to that. Dude, he's ginormous. He's ginormous. Anyway, he's going to come on later, and we're going to delve into that, like how you take something that is so –

And he's turned it into a decent clip of money, man. He's turned it into that. And there's two parts to that, really. I think I want to talk with him about him, which is going to be, number one, how to find something, a niche, and turn it into money. But more importantly, the importance of just attention, the importance of eyeballs. Because he did a couple things through his little career of slapping for cash or whatever that are pretty interesting, man. As I talked to him, I'm like, bro, this is an interesting story I want to have on the podcast. Is that like the –

You know, the elevator pitch. He got the best elevator pitch. I'm going to digress from there right now. So today, I'm going to digress because you just brought that up. And dude, holy crap. No, this is like the best entrepreneurial advice I can give you. If you have a new product...

If you have a new product or service that you are trying to sell, if you cannot explain said service or product in under 10 seconds, you have screwed up. Apple made an entire career. Steve Jobs' whole thing was we want to be impossible to make things. We want this to be so self-explanatory and impossible to understand, right, is what we want.

I was at the Inman conference today. We've got a big deal going down there. And they have what's called Startup Alley, which is normally my favorite part of the whole convention. It's where you walk down and, you know, you've got the big booths on the inside where people are making money already and they're already killing it. And they've got the big booths, right? And, you know, I already saw your stuff. I've already seen it. There's nothing new to it. I want to go see the new stuff where I don't know anything about it.

So me and the CEO for our company are walking down Startup Alley, and these are the pitches that I'm getting, and this is a verbatim pitch I got for somebody. I said, "What does your product do?" And the guy said, "We have essentially digitized the whiteboard. We've created a front-facer consumer experience

that is integrating with, what? I'm just like- Lame in terms. He got done and I was like- Great. What? Okay. And then I went to the next guy and I was like, what did you do? And he goes, well, we have a QR code that's for open houses. And when you come in, as you register, you get to guess the final sales price of the house. And if it's exactly right, we'll pay that person $500. And well, actually he told me this, it was like 60 seconds. So I said, essentially you've gamified-

the open house process. And he was like, yes. And I was like, okay, cool. I got, I get that. And then we go to the next person and then they've got like, I still don't really know what they do. And they got, I like literally three people talking at me at one time. Jargon. Just, just, okay. No, what we've done is we've created an experience that integrates with the Oculus and overall platforms and this and that you can tour 3d. And I'm like, okay, do you integrate with like Matterport tours? They're like, no, right now it's proprietary and this and that. But okay, well, who's your customer? How do you generate revenue? Well,

well, agents are going to give us $99 a listing to help do this. I'm like, so you agents are going to give you $99 to list their property on your platform? That nobody's on. That nobody's on? That nobody's on. Okay. Good luck. I was like, I wish you guys well. Obviously, you shouldn't have talked to anybody. So again, if you have a product and you can't explain it in a way that makes sense instantly to people in less than 10 seconds, don't bother. Not only makes sense, but like-

how it's going to be monetized. People said, they asked me, what do you do? And I said, we build mortgage and real estate. We said, we build mortgage and title companies for large real estate brokers across the country and 10X their bottom line. Impossible to misunderstand what we do.

Here's what we do, who we do it for, what the result is when we do it. That's it. I mean, it's that simple. But some of these people are just, it was insane. It was insane. Yeah, people can jargon. These tech people, so I had a call today. I'm developing an app for my business, and I put out some feelers. Hey, I'm looking for...

Because I don't know the first thing about app development. To me, what I want should be pretty simple. I got two ideas. We talked about one of them. The other one's just going to be informational. Hey, download this if you're ever in a car accident. Pull up my app. Bang, you have the information. Don't talk to this person. Call the police. Here's a number. Here's some information. Just so you have it. Oh, shit, I got hit. Car accident app. Done. I think it's been done before. I just want one that's labeled for me. Sure.

I get on. I see what's more importantly you should do is you do it for yourself and then you private label to other people that don't want to do it for themselves. Yeah, that's something we're going to be working on. Slow down, Turbo. Slow down there. Slow down. So I said to this person, she calls me up, oh, she goes, oh, what's your elevator pitch for making money? I go, have you listened to two things of what I've just said? Yeah.

What are you talking about? I just told you. This is an app for marketing for my company. I don't need it to make money. I'm not trying to make money on this. Right. Yeah. It's just, you're going through your rope process. That's what happens. These people, they kind of,

self-congratulate. If you go to a WeWork right now, if you go sit around all the entrepreneurs or the startups, they have these lofty ideas that never go anywhere because they just get wrapped up in a jargon. They assume everybody thinks like they do. They speak in terms of what we call Chinese math. If I can get one out of a thousand people to do this, I'll have a million customers. That's called Chinese math in the business. It's like you can't top down certain things. You have to

That QR code. Oh, people, they're going to pop the thing. QR codes are now back. People are starting to do this. Everyone has a smartphone. Here's why it makes sense. People want to do that. Okay. Got it. Excellent. Yeah. It makes sense. Well,

You know, I found a lot of the products down there today, too. It's like, dude, did you even ask somebody if this was remotely something they would use, or did you just make it happen? Hey. There he is right there, my man. Give me a couple minutes. Slapper Cash just walked in. We're going to get you set up in about five minutes. We're ready to go. All right, hang on.

He's a lot bigger than me. Hey, Colt, you still going there? Yeah, Colt. Where we at, Colt? How we doing? How you feeling, Colt? I was a little nervous just him looking at us. Like there's no escape. He's in the escape. He's in the only one exit of this room. Shit. Go, Chris, go. Damn, bro. That dude looks like he's here to collect some money. Oh, boy. Yeah, what do you own, Colt? What did you say? Yeah, what happened there, man? What happened there? Oh, shit. But, you know, I think right now. Asking people is where you're going. And that is huge.

I think you got to find out if people want your product. Which is why I always say, if you're going to build a new product or system, try to sell it before you build it. Because literally, I've said it before, I've got a bottle of vitamins in my office that I keep there that is 20-some odd years old because we've dumped a lot of money into something that nobody wanted. And a script from NBC. Yeah, that was it. Oh, we still haven't seen the good script. But back to the side hustle, we're finding interesting ways to make money, man, and things that you want to do.

You know, there's the Gary Vee, you know, his whole go to garage sales and find stuff to flip on the stupid thing. I mean, you know, I don't know, man. Works for some. Yeah, it works for some, but I don't dig for it. You got to have a hustler spirit for some of these things. I agree. There are some products that are good. And then there's sometimes where it's like, hey, save up money.

do what you got to do and franchise a small business or something. Or there's a path for everybody, but it's not, people listen to the rah-rah Gary V's and they listen to the, oh, what you got to do is you got to get out there and hustle. And a lot of those people, nobody wants to do business with them because they smell like MLM. Well, no, no, no. I'll give you that. But like the first place, if I was like, if I was like right now sitting here, listening to this and I'm like, crap, I got to make some extra money right now. What would I do? Right. Right.

And I was starting, let's call it starting from tap dead zero, right? That's where I was at. The first thing I would do to try to get some money coming in, some capitalized stuff as I go to Fiverr and I would go to those websites and I would look for people to do different jobs that I kind of somewhat knew how to do with a computer that have like,

Like, for example, let's say it's designing a header for Facebook pages or whatever it is. Who cares? And I'm looking for somebody that's done this 800 times. Well, that tells me there's a lot of demand for that particular job. I'm going to put up my ad. I'm going to cut this guy and I'm going to try to generate some money.

But there's a lot of things you can do on Fiverr that are virtual assistant work. Now, you're not going to be able to get in there, you know, $18, $20 an hour. But if you don't have to leave, you know, there's an offset here for the value of not having to leave your couch. Yeah, sure. And the reason I say you're not going to get $18, $20 an hour on some of that stuff is because there are people in Pakistan, there are people in Bangladesh, there are people in the Philippines that will do it for far less. Yeah, but the value of the reshoring, what they call it, that was the business model for a long time with Offshore India. Yeah.

But I have a virtual assistant in the Philippines and great English, but you can still tell that they're not native English speakers. Yeah, you can't. No, no. The one thing I'll say about VAs is you cannot do front-facing VAs. I hate that. You know, the funniest thing to me is whenever I get a phone call from a broker in town that will call me, recruiting me as though I'm a real estate agent, one of our competitors, calling to recruit me as an agent, and the person on the phone could barely speak English. It's like, bro, this...

this is what you want me to think about your company. And, you know, again, like I said, laws of business from a couple episodes ago, when your competitors make a mistake, you don't stop them. So I'm just like, carry on, my friend, carry on. Cause I have no fear of you taking any of my people with that, that kind of a move. Just no, no fear. Yeah. Sorry. Well, I was just going to say, and I think you've got to look in,

Figure out what you love, right? Like, I think people just say, well, I see someone making money. Let me go do it. If you don't have passion, your side hustle will never be your main hustle, right? Like if you don't have passion behind it, and there's also times that you don't need a side hustle, put more work into your thing, right? I love that. I love that too. I don't need a side hustle. My income is unlimited.

This is why like, I can just go put more money in my business. No, but this is like multi-level marketing with real estate agents. I mean, it's kind of rampant in our industry. Everybody loves multi-level marketing. They're always trying to get on the next level, multi-level deal, whatever it is. And I always tell people, man, if you just invested as much energy into this side thing, as you do in your main thing, the main thing would pay you way more.

Your main thing actually has a huge return. You've got to be very careful and be honest with yourself if your quote-unquote side hustle is a distraction to your main hustle. There's a reason you might be wallowing in mediocrity, and some of that might be your focus might be all over the place. To Colt's point, though, about do what you're passionate about, that's that whole Machiavellian never hire a militia to fight for your country. You've got to have people who are willing to die for their blood and sand. That's right.

That's right. You know, if you have people that are just doing it for money, they'll walk. Right. Yeah. Right. So you gotta be careful. That goes back to the first thing you were talking about. Well, which is Colt's lack of dedication. Oh, I thought you were talking about Colt's lack of dedication. I was going to say, is my, my side hustle is the best. I mean, name a better side hustle than stripping. Yeah.

I mean, name it. I can do it at night. You guys don't know about that. I do it at night at the Olympic Gardens. So there's a cost. I'm not going to mention which club, but there is a huge cost. And a lot of times the management is greasing their palms on a lot of the stuff. Oh, yeah, you got to pay everyone. They pay. Pay to play. You pay to play. And you pay more. And those managers are sometimes walking with big bucks that are undeclared or whatever. And not all the employees are always happy about it. That's why they sometimes –

That's why the IRS. Chris Conrad Squire. Chris Conrad Squire. IRS took them all down. That could be your niche. No, but they come in cycles because the next generation of greedy guy is going to be sitting there going, I can make today X on top of. That could be your total niche. Strippers that are ripped off by managers of strip clubs. I like the niche. Your write-offs, all the great write-offs you'd have sitting there all day. You know, something about...

Something about, you know, coming in there. The only time I get off is during the mid-shift, John. I know. That's a good point. I see Colt looking unimpressed. He's just got that dead stare. Was I in my cowboy outfit? What was I in that day? Oh, boy. All right. We're going to take a quick break, I guess we are, because my dude Slapper Cash is here. And, bro, he is not the kind of guy I want to keep waiting. So I'm going to get him in here as soon as possible. This guy is huge. That was fucking huge. Yeah.

Hey, it's John Gafford. If you want to catch up more and see what we're doing, you can always go to thejohngafford.com. We'll share any links that we have, things we talked about on the show, as well as links to the YouTube where you can watch us live. And if you want to catch up with me on Instagram, you can always follow me at thejohngafford. I'm here. Give me a shout. Back from break, as promised. And there he is in all of his glory, Colts.

This guy is my man. Slapper cash. He is a lot bigger than I anticipated. If you don't know Chris Connell and that you're watching this on, you got to check it out on YouTube. He makes Chris look small. Chris, what are you? Six, four. Almost dead. Two 70, two 76, two 70.

It's my man, Slapper Cash. So I ran into Mr. Royce. Are we calling you Mr. Royce? Mr. Cash. We're just calling you Slapper Cash. I don't know. The lady up front called me Tom. She called you Tom. I kind of like that name. I guess that's my real estate name. Yeah, that's your real estate name. We'll go with it. Tom and Thomas. Thomas Cash. Yeah, Thomas Cash. Tom Cash. So I run into him at a crypto event last weekend, and we started chatting, and he's telling me kind of his story about what he does. And I'm like, oh, man, I instantly remembered who you were when you said that.

And then I was like, bro, I got to get you on because we're going to talk about side hustles and how to turn interesting things into decent clips of money, man. And you've done quite well with this. So walk me through it, bro. Where do you start out? Tell me about you. Where are you from? Start at the beginning. Take me back to the beginning, my friend. I'm from Lansing, Michigan. Lansing, Michigan. Yeah. The Sunshine State. No, no. I don't know about that, man. It's pretty boring back there. Pretty boring. Just...

back home there's really not a lot of things to do and we just would create great stuff and film it you know what's funny man i used to drive through lansing once a week yeah i did back mock me if you will mr chris we are going to talk about hooters which i was the direct i was the director of those restaurants in michigan okay and i lived in roy i lived in royal oak in detroit and i had to drive to muskegon and grand rapids once a week are you from there no man i'm from florida like

That was the first place. What the fuck were you doing in Michigan? No, they moved me to Michigan. And I was like, bro, you're going to get, like, I literally called my boss after the first winter and I said, let me tell you a story about a guy named John. He said, what's up? And I'm like, I'm moving back to Orlando, Atlanta in two weeks. He goes, you're quitting? I said, that all depends on you. He called me back like an hour later and goes, all right, dude, Orlando. I'm like, sold to the man in black.

That was it. So you're from Lansing. You start filming yourself doing goofy things on the YouTube there. And how does that progress to this, man? Well...

i started it just just for comedy we were doing a lot of comedy back then and yeah i just thought it was funny to slap people and by slap i i don't i think that's an understatement how many people have you just absolutely shadow realm just sent to the shadow realm when you've slapped them how many people does that happen oh it's it's somewhere like 67 people

And really, where do you find these people? Because I am telling you, it is, I don't know how much money you'd have to pay me to do that. Well, I stopped doing the slap videos for a while. And then I came out, I was in Las Vegas for probably about two years. And out here, well, if you live in the city part, everybody's asking you for money. Everywhere you go, like, hey, man, can I get some change? One day I was just having a really bad day. Watch out.

And I remember that I used to slap people and it felt good. I was like, hey, I'll tell you what. I'll give you 20 bucks. No, it wasn't 100. It was 20. I was like, I'll give you... We're in the city. Keep in mind. This is downtown. You're where I live. This is where Colt lives. Yeah, we're like a naked city. Yeah, that's my neighborhood. People don't know where that is. That's by the stratosphere. Yeah. So I told the guy, give him 20 bucks. And he's like, all right, well...

yeah, let's do it. And I didn't, my camera guy at the time, I had a buddy of mine. We just bought a camera and I made him my camera guy. He was sleeping. It was, this was like 2 AM. I woke up and like, I found somebody to slap. He's like, what? I'm like, yeah, he's right here. Brought him into the high rise. The guy's just, he's like, all right, let's do it. I slapped him. And that video actually went viral and it made me want to do

Once you see success in anything, you know, you're like, oh shit. Well, we got, yeah, we talk, we talk about that all the time here, which is attention is the key for anything. And if you can get attention, that's a good thing. Anyway, you get it. Yeah. So it was like my first, uh, my first, uh, real success of, you know,

Views I guess you could call it. How many views that video again? I don't got 600,000 only 600,000 probably more now Yeah that that back then it wasn't like Facebook Yeah, there wasn't like Facebook videos how you can write you can you can pick on millions of yes It was just it was strictly just to YouTube and they had to find it there and that was it Yeah back then it was get world star you had all these different these different Places you could go viral you had YouTube. That was pretty much it. I

Now there's Instagram, there's TikTok, there's Facebook, there's Snapchat. You know, it's evolved for sure. So that video does 600,000 views. Yeah, 600,000 views back then would probably be like a 10 million view video today. Oh, dude, for sure. You know? So what was the monetization like then? Because obviously at 600,000 views, you're like, okay, I got to figure out how to monetize this thing. I got to start trying to figure out how to make some money here. Yeah, so if you don't have an account set up or something that,

people will steal your videos and put it on their channel so their channel gets bigger so that's what they did they stole my videos the only thing that it helped me do was grow my brand yeah so it was like for free but it grew my brand

So as the brand starts to take off, how long from that first video did you smack the taste out of somebody's mouth? Did that guy live? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they've all lived. He lived. Teeth. How many teeth are knocked out? Have you knocked a tooth out? That's a good question. What's the lightest?

Injury, someone said. The lightest, not the hardest. Colt's actually thinking about this. A lot of our subscribers listen. This guy is massive. I am 6'2", 190 pounds, and he's two of me. You are massive. You know what you haven't talked about, Colt?

is why you're still in the day shift yeah my next question was maybe he's a poet though why are you talking about what olympic sport do you think you could be a power lifter i believe that i did power lifting for six years so you did this so you see you were an athlete in powerlifting so as someone that could have competed there do you think that just from looking at them there's any sport on the planet that colt could possibly go to the olympics and do water polo uh

That's too hard. Equestrian. The horse does everything. You just have to hold on to the horse, right? Or secondly, the quick walk. Speed walking. Power walking. Right? Are you with me on this? It's never going to happen. It's never going to happen. Look who's got my back. I finally found someone who's got my back. And you want to tell me he's not wrong? I always go for the underdogs. Yeah, he always goes for the underdogs. Thanks, buddy. I'm with you. Detroit Lions fan. Ah.

No. Okay, God. That's too much to live with. That's too much to live with. It would be. I was going to say, if you want to be really well for an underdog right now. I know. Detroit Lions. So we get 600,000 views. We get 600,000 views. We start to grow a band. People are ripping off your videos. How do you get it? When you first start monetizing, what were you doing for like a living at this point? Back then, I was actually... I'm a businessman. So back then, I was running a clothing store. Oh, nice. Yeah, I was running... I was selling clothes. So I was selling clothes to...

I was selling high-end clothes, so I'd go down to L.A. I would go in the district and just see what kind of deals I could get. A lot of times if something's wrong with the shirt or a suit, they'll give it to you discount because they can't sell it. Right. You know, they can't sell it where they're selling it because something's wrong with it, and the customer sees that, it makes their brand worth less. So it gets kicked back on to the street where all these street vendors will sell it.

But everybody's trying to save money. So I'd go and buy clothes for dirt cheap, bring them back to Vegas and just resell them. Sell them there. So like, when did you, when did you start your first business? Your business guy? When'd you start? First business. I was selling things when I was a kid, man. Yeah. Second grade. They'd shut the pop machines down. I went to the store.

Grabbed some 12-packs, brought them back to school, started selling pop and candy. Dude, I'm telling you, that is consistent. Everybody I know that's successful as an entrepreneur was hustling as a kid, something. Oh, yeah. Had that kid hustle. My parents never gave us money, so they were always...

Figure out. Yeah, figure a way. Yeah, we would go out. We would take an inflatable raft out at the golf course and like dive with scuba masks. And this is in Florida too. So there's a water mosque and gator tissues at these things and grab the golf balls and then just hang around the greens and sell them to the golfers. That was my house. It was good.

We did pretty well, man. The golf course didn't like it very much, but what are you going to do? So were you doing slapping before that video went viral or were you just doing other stuff and you said, let me just slap you? So before that, back when I was in Lansing, we would do slap videos, but they never took off. They never...

just my friends would watch them yeah you know and i i always thought i had something there and just i never i never understood why i wasn't getting views yeah people i guess we're living in a day and age where we want to see success right away yeah no that's dude that's true but dude you had so you took this you start making this videos you start monetizing your youtube channel yes did it eventually become enough that you could let go of the store did it become the main hustle no um

I've always just, I've always wanted to do videos and, and, uh, do comedy stuff. Um, buying and selling thing has buying and selling things has always been my number one. Yeah. Over anything. Um,

Well, that's a good point. So if the average Joe is at home right now, because we were just talking about side hustles, man, looking for ways that you can generate money, because now, obviously, you know, we've seen it. There's unemployment everywhere because nobody wants to do these menial jobs anymore. Nobody wants to do them. So what advice would you give for somebody listening to this right now that just wants to pick up a side hustle? What should they flip? What should they look for? What would you do, man, if you're starting from tap dead zero? I think I'm just a different kind of person. I'm hungry. You know, I came from

He's going to fucking eat you, Colt. He's going to eat you before this is over. I wanted to see a video because I'm the guy that stays off and stuff, so I'm not quite sure. But you hit with your arm? Where's an illegal slap, right? Like open hand slap? So I did the slap for cash stuff. I created the whole slapping foundation, I guess you could call it. And then I had some Russian guys reach out to me and talk about doing a show.

At the time, they were in Russia. I was in America. So it really wasn't working out, us coming together and creating a show. So they winded up creating a show. His name's Amirian. And he created a whole Russian slap contest. Yeah. I've seen those. And so at first, when I was doing my slap videos, I'd get a lot of hate mail and a lot of people writing me. It's terrible you do this. Like the bump fight backlash. Oh, yeah. And I created my stuff right after bump fights. Right there.

Which is also from Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. So that didn't help. And then, um, that doesn't help. You still get a lot of hate mail. I'd imagine you know, no, it's mainstream now. Yeah. Well, the Russian is like a mainstream thing. So what helped this whole slap thing is the Russians leave it or not. Cause my buddies were like, don't, don't collab with them. Don't get,

Give them any juice for their shows because their shows, they actually put a lot of money into it. Mine's kind of like we just pull up and slap the show. Edit the video. What do you have to pay somebody nowadays? Sorry to cut you off. No, you're not. I'm just wondering if we could get a slap on demand, like I can order you like a fucking Grubhub and you'll just show up and slap him is what I want to know when I need this. This is a service I think would be gold places. I'm wondering. Waivers? They have to sign waivers now, I'm sure. Oh, yeah.

Pretty stern waver. When we first started it, they didn't. Somebody said, well, when you really make it, people are going to be coming out of this. They're going to come for you. Two-year statute of limitations. Don't worry about it. Oh, well, shit. Got attorneys in the XC. There you go. So we never got this answer. What's the lightest damage you've done to somebody? Concussion? Concussion?

Well, there was for a while I was only slapping people like 30, 40%. I really wasn't hitting them hard. I'm still here, 30, 40%. Yeah. But this is where it gets at. This is the part of the story I think gets interesting. Because then, because you're doing well, you've got some monetize, you've got some fame from this thing, you're getting a couple hundred thousand views on your video. And then some wannabe internet celebrity fighters start calling you, right? Yeah. You get a phone call. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I've met a lot of people just from doing these videos. I had Logan Paul reach out to me and had me come on his show and...

He asked if he could slap me and I was like, man, I don't know, you know, I don't really want to be slapped. And he's like, just go with it. Just go with it. And I'm like, what does go with it mean? Right. Right. Just go with it. Like, I'm like, I'm thinking my stuff's not taking off that as much as I would like for it to go. You know, he's in 15, 20 million views for video videos, you know, so,

I'm like, does go with it mean a bag of cash? Does go with it? What does go with it mean? Yeah, what are we really talking about? I slap you and you just fall down. I was like, well, and then we came up with a number and he gave me, he paid me and

uh he did slap me and when he slapped me i fell forward yeah when i when i slap people they always go backwards yeah into the next universe but the shadow really shut her up behind you for some reason when you know this video where i'm getting slapped i just fall down and go frontwards yeah and a lot of reasons you took a dive yes a lot of people believe that was real and i was going to let people think that until i got back to vegas two weeks went by

and i see a podcast and somebody and he's on there saying oh yeah i knocked this uh american slap champion out and he starts running i'm like oh i gotta do a round two yeah yeah that's exactly what i said i was like round two dude oh you're not getting away with this so then i called a couple people and they got me a podcast

We started talking about what actually happened and everybody was like, was the slap real? I'm like, yeah, the slap was real, but the reaction was fake. And they're like, oh, what did he pay you? And went over everything and it got back to him. It went on, the interview actually went on E! Entertainment tonight, Hollywood. Went on all these different places that take your video, basically. Yeah. You know?

then I said well you're doing all this boxing stuff if you want a box we can find out what would really happen so there was a boxing match set up between me and Logan really no kidding no oh man and he's like well we can he's like come to LA and I'll rip your head off he said that on uh I believe he put the video on Twitter and that went viral so you're like okay I'm coming to LA yeah like two weeks later I was in LA right at his front door and we did a video and

his buddy came out and he wouldn't fight he he's not he's not here he's not here right now well it's funny because his dog actually got loose that day and ran out in the yard and he chased his dog out there and then i got oh really yeah so i seen him he's at the side of his gate in la you could see a seat part of the yard yeah so he was in there he was hiding yeah my people were who i was with one camera guy and i was with a boxing trainer

And when I seen him, I was like, you're scared. You're scared. And he was like, just looked at me and he just went right back in the house. Well, I got to tell you something though, man, because I watched, I watched a video of you on that podcast when you were talking about what happened.

And the smartest thing you said was that is indisputably true. You said, what am I going to do, dude? He smacks me and I stand there laughing at him. He's not sharing that. He's not sharing that with anybody. That's not going anywhere. I had to make the guy look good because if I didn't, I wasn't going to go anywhere. What's he going to do? Definitely. They're narcissists. So, you know, everything has to go their way. Everything's about them.

So if this guy slaps me on his network, right, and I just look at him, I'm like, ha-ha, you slap like a bitch. He's not going to put that up. No, there's no way. You ever backhand people? Always for. I don't know. Colvin? Yeah, Colvin.

He is mesmerized by this right now. No, I really am, guys. I mean, not every day you get to talk to some of the slaps people for a living. Like, I dream to slap at least one person a day. I'm like, oh, I'd love to open hands. Wait, Colt, Colt, you get to talk to your wife every day. I'm pretty sure. He gets slapped around a lot. She slaps me around. She's like backhands me. She never opened hands. Just so you're aware, every Father's Day I call, I wish his wife happy Father's Day. Every Father's Day.

i was actually married to a mexican woman you understand this you were afraid of her you know about the chunk were you afraid of her were you afraid i got the hell out of there there you go i told you if he's afraid i should be i'm okay with being afraid of him i couldn't i just couldn't handle it anymore it was torture oh they'll kill you i love your death but they'll kill you yeah it's uh they're very passionate but they're very evil cool yeah

Well, there you see. Colt's like, it wasn't me. It was the Slap for Cash guy. Can we get this guy on every day? He thinks I can be an Olympian, and he's with me against being afraid of my wife. I love this guy. Do you want me to go slap people with you? I mean, I'll go slap people. Plus one. Entourage just grew by one. I think my wrist would probably break if I slapped somebody, but.

Oh, God. Yeah, you're definitely picking them up left and right. So what's the worst damage you've done to somebody? No one's answering this question. I want no damages, guys. As your attorney, I advise you don't answer this question. Oh, yeah, maybe we shouldn't have. What's the lightest? Like, you...

Now, if you go home and slap your wife tonight, I'm not going to. Oh, no. My wife was not. No, no, no. My wife would, if I got in a boxing ring, I think she's the one girl that would go. One thing I know about Cole is he doesn't hit back. No, yeah. I'm pretty sure he doesn't hit back. But she is one of those. Yeah, we had somebody crash a wedding, and she went after him. I had some guys. I'm like, yeah, that's the one girl you don't want to.

It's the small Latinas that are the craziest. You know, my wife was 5'1", 115 pounds. There you guys go. He's afraid. Yeah, Honey Badger will take on three African lions. So you now got like almost a million followers. I had Snoop Dogg share my video. 2020 was a big year for me as far as people shared my videos.

I had Nick and Nate Diaz share my videos before. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, so I got part of their fan base. Snoop Dogg shared my video. It got 9.5 million views on Instagram. Sure.

Wow. Dogfather. That's it. What's progressing now? Yeah, Andy Ruiz. That's where I got a lot of my boxing fans. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Andy Ruiz, when he was the heavyweight champ of the world, I actually lived with him for six months. Oh, wow. Yeah, he bought a bunch of houses. Yeah, he did. He bought some out here, and he bought, what, two houses here and...

He bought houses in... A couple Rolls Royces. Yeah. He went crazy. Yeah, all kinds of stuff. Yeah. I was around him around that time. Were you really? Yeah, he had a house he bought here, and he was putting all this nice stuff in it, and he just needed somebody there that he knew. And you're like, yeah, man, I'm good with that. I can make that happen. If anybody breaks in, baby. That's a good point. Yeah, you're a walking security system as it is. Yeah, but it came for your hand, like...

just uh yeah yeah Colt Colts is Charlene that's yeah it's a whole different story with this crazy name he calls he calls me the slap master the slap master so I've seen him and I've seen him a couple times in public have you tried to get a fight now with him or I'd be trying I think eventually something will happen I think deep down inside he wants to fight me so he could prove to himself that

he's the bigger guy yeah but you know and i know he's in shape i'm not worried about that because i'm around pro fighters and i got my own boxing stuff and i got a boxing match april 3rd yeah how'd you get how'd you get hooked up yeah let's talk about that how'd you get hooked up with the barstool guys how'd that happen um well before barstool it was actually uh

um, Zab Judah, six time world champion. Yeah. He's nice. I had, uh, in 2020, I wasn't having a good year. Things weren't selling. People just weren't buying stuff and spending money like they were, um, previously. The Corona virus killed the market of, you know, buying and selling stuff. People didn't need nice clothes and stuff. People didn't care about clothes and shoes and glasses, the things I was selling. So basically, uh,

Things were just slow to me, and I got offered a fight. And Zab Judah, he got a hold of me, and he's like, hey, how would you like to fight? I'm starting this thing called Celebrity Championship Boxing. I think you'd go good. I want a heavyweight. I want to make it the main event. Who'd you fight? Who'd you fight in the first half? I fought a guy off a show called Black Ink. His name is Bishop Don. Oh, yeah. Bishop Don is a bodybuilder. He's like 6'5", 270, 280. Wow.

Never fight before? I'm assuming that went your way. So, no, at the time, I was like, I had gout. I was in bed. I had gout. I wasn't making money. Oh, man. I'm like, well, how much are we talking here? Because I'm going to have to get out of bed. I'm going to have to diet. I'm going to have to train. And first he said $5,000. I'm like, dude, I'm not getting out of bed for $5,000 and having to train. The babysitter for my son a month is $5,000.

About $1,200. So then he's talking like, we're talking like 45 days away. And I'm like, dude, how am I going to get? So he came to, Zab Judah came to Vegas. He said, come meet me at Resorts, the new casino. I went up there and I met him. And he's like, I have a contract right here, $15,000. We'll give you five grand right now. Give you 10 grand after the fight. All right. Come on.

How long are the rounds? He's like, well, they're five, three minute rounds. I was like, if we can make this thing three, two minute rounds. Yeah, three, two minutes, I'm in. I'll do it. I'm in. He's like, all right. Because I knew I had a puncher's chance. Right. Yeah. People who don't know what that is, is if you hit hard. Yeah. You just got to connect once, baby. Yeah. Chinese arithmetic. We just talked about that. Don't need them all. Don't need them all. I got rid of my gout.

It wasn't easy, man. I was in the gym for hours a day. And I had power lifted before, so I had been involved in sports. Because that's kind of the build you got, dude. You got that world's strongest man kind of a thing going on. Yeah, well, when I was power lifting, dude, I got up to 500-pound bench press on video. And I was working my arms four or five times a day. Wow. My bad, four or five times a week. Wow. It wouldn't be heaviest. Like one day I'd go heavy.

Then I'd take a break, and then two days later, I'm going light. You go again. I use supplements, and I've used tons of different things to repair me faster so I could go and hit that body part again. But, yeah, I fought a bodybuilder April 3rd. It was a main event. They flew me to Atlanta, and Shaq was front row, and a bunch of other celebrities went there. It was pay-per-view. I fought the full three rounds.

And we fought three rounds, two minutes a round, six minutes. And by the end of the third round, I was definitely gassed. That's a long time. If you do five minutes of jiu-jitsu and you're not in excellent shape, you will be literally praying for death. Oh, yeah. It's exhausting. It's hard. After a minute, I've done probably close to 400 or 500 classes of jiu-jitsu. I trained with a...

Team Mika, Mika Cipelli, and then they changed their gym to Team Gracie. I've done so many classes, I don't know. I just know it's in between 400 and 500. Every time I go to get back into jiu-jitsu, my lungs just catch on fire. Did you win the fight? Oh, so the fight, I lost the decision. I felt like it was a draw.

i felt like i didn't lose it it was probably a draw or is that your first time fighting yeah like legit boxing legit boxing yeah i've been in fights before but michigan right yeah you're fighting yeah did you fight as a kid are you just somebody looking for fights man you've been to michigan well i know yeah we grew up in a place where there was nothing to do and i was a big kid i was always getting picked on because i was the bigger guy so yeah i was always fighting my dad my dad

My dad would always bully me, so he was the type of guy that he always told me, if they hit you first, you can defend yourself. Do whatever you want. But I always hit first. I'd just go home and say, he hit me first. It's easier to get out of it. That was my dad's rule. He goes, you're under no obligation to get hit first. He goes, if you feel legitimately threatened, you can go ahead and be the first person because somebody's legitimately threatening you. You're under no obligation to get hit. You go right to it and make it happen. That's true.

So you fought that to a draw. So how did you get into it? Is that the only fight so far? That's the only fight that I've had on TV. But you have Ruff and Rowdy coming up now. I do have Ruff and Rowdy, December 10th, and Charleston, West Virginia. Charleston. So did Bar still reach to you after that first fight, or how'd that work out? I don't know how they reached out. I don't know how we got a hold of each other. We just started talking. DM Portnoy or something?

I don't remember, man. So many people I talked to about different matches and stuff like that. I was supposed to do something with a jiu-jitsu thing coming up. I got a lot of things that are planned in the next year. Well, good, dude. You still slapping people? Yeah, so that's the thing. I do want to start doing slap shows where...

Like the Russian thing. It's like a contest. Well, you can go again. Like the whole Russian deal. Like the whole Russian idea where you can go to each other's. Oh, so, yeah, with the Russians, they actually came to America last year. Dude. During Corona time. And we did a show. I did a show with them. Why am I just... Dude, I'm totally picturing like Ivan Drago. Oh, yeah. Is what I'm getting. Like the whole thing. They had... They brought one of their guys in to battle me. Uh-huh. And I slapped the shit out of him. And then after I slapped him, the guy went back. His buddy...

His buddy caught him, and then they gave him oxygen, brought him back. And I'm like, damn. Your cold space is just like, oh. There's no coming back, man. It's over. Then the guy slapped me, and I slapped him again. And then it went three rounds. And then he slapped me back. And the third time I slapped him, he went out. He was a tough dude, man. They had mouthpieces and everything for this event. So do you hear him like, oh.

Where do you hit when you slap someone? There's got to be a strategy. Well, there's got to be a rule, right, at that point? Well, yeah, you're not supposed to actually hit with the palm, but sometimes what happens is your hand's so big. You're talking in these competitions, these guys have 3-4 XL hands. So sometimes your hand's so big, just throwing a slap, you're going to wind up landing. Your palm is going to be on their face. It's supposed to be fingers only? Yeah.

Some guys just use fingers, but anytime I've ever been slapped, like when I got slapped in that Russian slap competition, they used a full hand on me. I got my bell ring, man. That guy, he missed my face, and he hit me in my ear. Oh, that's got to be the worst. Straight out of Fight Club. He hit me in my ear, and I shook my head like this, and my buddy was in the crowd, and I looked at him, and I'm like...

Sign now, motherfucker. How do you work yourself up to getting slapped? Like, I honestly could not be... I hate fighting. For you, Colt, just come home five minutes late. Work yourself up to get slapped. Like, honestly, are you...

Do you kind of freak out before? Or are you someone that's like, whatever, slap me? So I think everybody should actually go through this feeling in life because sometimes it feels great. Sometimes you just will never do it again. Like the guy fought in Atlanta. They want to rematch it, and they offered him to do a rematch, and he turned it down. So me, I'm continuing fighting. I like the way it feels. I like the crowd. I like the vibe of it. But before your match, you just get kind of scared sometimes.

Like a scary feeling in your, like... Sick to your stomach. Yeah. Where you want to get out of there, but you got to hype yourself up and you're like... Too far in. I look at my opponents like they did something wrong to me or my family. So I have a reason to hurt them because I'm not an actually aggressive person. But think about it, man. There's no other sport anywhere where you just stand there and take it. Yeah. Like there's no blocking. You're not defending yourself. I think I'd rather...

Box then be in a slap because you're trying to protecting yourself. There's defense in boxing. Yeah, that's I just I don't know. Well, so at least in football, you can block on punch. Yeah, something. Yeah. It's it's fun. You know, it's I don't know. It's it's I'm creating this thing. It's it's basically like instead of boxing, you use your hands and you just slap each other.

It's like a slap fight. Yeah, it's a slap. Like drunk people do, but real people. Okay, this is reminding me of every fist fight you probably have ever had. This is what this is reminding me of in a quick and easy way. I was on Worldstar once. Do you watch a lot of street fight videos? You know, I used to watch the Kimbo Slice fights back in the day. Oh, yeah. Everybody watched those back in the day. Those were okay. What? Okay. Those guys were actually okay.

okay, they were decent. They could fight, yeah. When you watch... Are you talking about like drunken Raiders fans? Is that what we're talking about? 100% of men that I've watched fight have the worst technique. It's this loopy, ugly... No. I've been in three fights and they've landed in three punches, like luckily, because people are like... And you're like... And they just go down. But no, I could not...

Most people don't want to fight. No. That's why it's attractive to watch slap fighting or boxing or MMA. It's because deep down, that is a primal fear.

In all humans. Sure. And unless you're a true psychopath, you are scared shitless before you go into rain. I don't care who you are. Yeah. Even Mike Tyson did that thing, right? We talked about that speech where he goes, and then I get to that point. I have to hype myself up, right? Maybe the Diaz's, I think they might just actually be really looking forward to it. Other than those two human beings, I think everybody else has got something to do. Yeah, the Diaz brothers look like they're into it when they go in there. They want to get it. Mike, I don't know how much, I'm sitting here thinking, how much would,

I take to let you slap me. And I'm telling you, you threw a million bucks cash, I probably would walk away from that million bucks. I'd do it for a million bucks. I don't think I would. A million? I really don't. I really don't. Okay, if I put 20 grand right here, you wouldn't let him slap me? No. If you threw a million, I don't think you'd let... It's not worth the CD. No, it's not worth the brain damage. What is the most you've ever paid anybody to slap them? What's the most you've ever paid? I think 100 bucks is going to work. What?

There are way different varying opinions of what people will do for money. That's it. $100? Can you give me these guys' numbers? I got a lot of work I need done around the house. I'll give you $3 gold. Because if somebody will let you slap them for $100, they will pretty much do anything. There's just nothing they won't do. Well, and I think that's why you get like...

How much will you pay these guys to kill somebody? I mean, maybe 200 bucks? I don't know. 200 bucks? Yeah, a counselor's like, okay, and we're not discussing this. Did I ever tell you that story that I was talking about? Yeah. This Irish friend of mine in the Czech Republic after we paid off the police. And he goes, Chris, you can tell a lot about a country by how much it takes to have somebody killed there.

- Yeah. - Like in Switzerland it's a million dollars plus the bullet in Ireland it's a pack of cigarettes and 10 quid. - Yeah, 10 quid. - It's just, it was, you know, life is meaningless in some places. - That's wild. - $100, I was expecting that. - Apparently it's like two or three thousand. - I had a guy after my video went viral with Logan and after probably about two months of just going viral with podcasts and him slapping me and just doing all this stuff,

He contacted me. He said, I'm an influencer. I want you to come to my house and I want you to slap me as hard as you can. I'm like, who is this guy? I got to look at this guy up. I looked him up. He was an influencer. He is 250,000 followers at the time. Um, it went back and forth for like three months. I was supposed to meet this guy. I never thought it was going to happen. So I knew based on what this guy looked like, he had like a street look to him with a bunch of tattoos on his face. Uh,

He was hanging out with strippers all the time. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I keep in mind, I don't know this guy. I'm going in there and I'm looking around. He's like, what's up, man? And he's the nicest guy. I'm like, what's up? I was like, why do you want me to slap you? He goes, I just want to go viral. He goes, I don't want no money because I don't want nothing. I just want you to tag me in the video. And I'm like, all right. So he's close to the wall. It took about an hour to set the room up because I knew this video was going to go viral. And I'm telling him like, this is, it's going to go viral.

It's going to get a lot of views. He keeps asking me, he's like, is it going to go viral? And I've told him like 10 times, it is, it might take a couple months, but it will go viral. And, uh,

I told him, like, stand away from the wall, dude. We got to pull you this way because if you fall back, you're going to hit your head on the wall. And I'm trying to tell him, you know, he's got the strippers there. Like, you can take it, baby. Oh, no, no, no. Dude, you got to see that. If you haven't seen this, you got to see it. John, can you? Oh, no. I want to see this. You've got to. We'll pull it. If you haven't seen it, dude, Google my man slap for cash because this video itself, the

Okay, forget the dude getting shadow-realmed. The reaction of the day shift strippers, these are probably people you work with, Colt. The reaction of the day shift strippers is the best part of the whole video because they thought you killed him. They really thought he was gone. Yeah, this guy's just one of them dudes. He doesn't care. Oh, man, I don't even know how to explain him. Like I said, tattoos head to toe, about six feet two. You walk in there and he...

So the girls are amping them up even harder. And I'm just looking at everyone in the room like, what is wrong with these people? And they're like, you can do it, baby. And they're like, well, you tell him he can do it.

And I'm like, all right. I was like, are you sure you want to do this, bro? Because, you know, you're a nice guy and it just makes it worse. This is not going to end well. I already know where this is going. He's like, yeah, do it, bro. I can do it. And I'm like, all right, well, check it out. I'm only going to hit you like half speed because you're a small dude. He's like, I want you to. He looks at me and he like grabs on him. He's like, I want you to hit me as hard as you can. He starts gritting his teeth together. And I'm like.

I'm like, fuck it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Hey. The thing people do for fame. Like Santa Claus. I'll deliver this, no problem. Yeah, he actually somewhat got hurt, you know, because he, I guess because of the wall or something. I don't know, but. Well, his face was bleeding. He hit the wall. Yeah.

And his strippers were like, baby, baby, baby. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Wake up. Wake up. Yeah. So the strippers were highly confident that he was just going to take it and laugh at me. And...

I was just looking at the strippers like, what is wrong with you? Well, after he got slapped, the strippers... I think the word for that is meth. That's what I'm going to go with for that video. It might have been, but I'll tell you what. After that video, them strippers, they lost all confidence because they were down on the floor, then they were looking up at me, and they were down on the floor looking up at me, and I'm like...

I told you you wanted this. You may need to find yourself a new pimp. Yeah. I told you I was going to. I am just dumbfounded. Like, again, I'm so naive, right? They didn't tell me that you were coming in or anything. So they tell me, yeah, he slaps. And I'm expecting, like, someone that's, like, 6'2", 210, right? And I'm like, yeah, maybe a million bucks that somebody slapped me. Looking at you, I'm dumbfounded. I'm literally dumbfounded. Like,

How are people letting you do this for $100 or just to go? Or no, that's the most he's paid somebody. For less. There's less. That's the ceiling. That's the top. That's what I'm trying to say. This is why I am dumbfounded. There's less here. The floor was zero. Get on YouTube and watch this. Chris Connell is sitting next to him and is a very large man. Chris Connell would look like a D-end in football. And he makes you look very small. Chris Connell looks like a puppet sitting next to him.

Like he's a ventriloquist. Someone came in here with a million bucks right now. God, man. I have to go get so drunk that I'm about to black out. Well, bro. I can talk about this all day long, but we got to wrap it up. Man, I am excited to see your fight at Rough and Rowdy. Yeah. I hope you. What night is it? What about the. . .

So we're talking about hustles, though. I don't want to get away from that. No, what? Slap for Cash has made itself a little bit of a name in the groups you were talking about, too. Oh, with the crypto stuff. Yeah, and it touched kind of that, right? That might be. How'd they reach out to you? Why don't you get involved in that crypto world real quick, if you've got a minute. Yeah, no, go ahead. Keep going. Well, I have found out in life that the people I used to pick on in school are the

actually the ones making millions amen brother so now i'm like hey man i'm sorry about putting you in that locker can you give me some tips on what's going on yeah what should i buy no you're gonna tell me yeah definitely um man um i don't know i guess just doing all these videos and being um

Getting in good with certain people and people just kind of give me heads up on stuff like, hey, I'm doing this. You want to research it? Let me know. No one's forced me into anything or tried to mislead me. No, but I can tell you it's the same thing, man, is when you hit a certain point,

with social media. And if there's two reasons to do it, man, I think, I think there's two reasons. There's a vanity metrics where you're like, Oh, look at my flex. And I have, I'm verified and I have so many followers and I have all this stuff. But then there's the reality of that, which is it brings a certain, it does bring a certain level of credibility, which just opens some financial doors for you. And people bring you, people bring you deals. It's funny, man. We were at a, we were at Hopper house on Saturday night,

for Oktoberfest. Colt showed up dressed like the Notre Dame mascot. That was not Lederhosen. I don't know where you got that outfit, but it was green. Sexy Oktoberfest. It was a sexy Oktoberfest costume. But some BMX dude was a nice dude, Ricardo...

Laguna, I think his name is, was tapping the keg that night and he rode by me on his bike and jokingly grabbed my beer and took a sip of it and tried to hand it back to me. I was like, no, no. You can have that. You can have that when I'm good. No, but he was super cool and came over and brought me another beer or whatever. And I didn't care, man, but it was funny. And he brought me another beer and I took a picture and I tagged him in the photo and he ran away. And inside of like...

And 10 seconds later, he came running back over to me like, who are you, man? Like, what's going on? And I got this land up in the east side. I want to subdivide and build four houses. And I'm like, all right, man, we can. Yeah, I got some builders. We can talk about this. This is all good. We could definitely talk about it. So I think it just brings some opportunity that you normally wouldn't have got.

I know it's open doors for me. Obviously, it's open doors for you, and I think that's awesome. So, man, I am looking forward again, like I said, to seeing your fight. I'm totally watching it. We may take a road trip. I don't know. Who knows? Yeah, come on. What night is it? December 10th. December 10th. You know what? Company Christmas party. Already playing. We'll be at Tao. Company Christmas party. But if it wasn't, my man, I'm telling you right now, if it was not my company Christmas party, I would probably come out to West Virginia to watch the fight. Yeah, it's my first time going out to West Virginia. Yeah.

I feel like you could slap people for 20 bucks there. I feel like you'd slap people for less. For a lot less. For less. I feel like a lot of people are going to be getting slapped. You're just going to line them up down a wall and run down like you're... They have a cooler full of Four Locos. That's what you do. Take a carton of cigarettes and a case of Four Loco and you'll be able to slap as many people as you want. Just line them up and smack them. My opponent, he's 6'6".

470 pounds. He's a giant. He works in the coal mine. This is just what they've told me. What do you think about this? We're going to call this the Battle of the 400 Pounders. And I'm like,

I was like, man, I don't care who you got over there. You know, because I've seen all their rough and rowdy people. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not worried about any of your guys over there. I was like, what do you guys even do over there in West Virginia? Who knows? I mean, Cole and Cousins. Yeah, Cousins. That's what it's like. Okay, look, you can't say that. We might have some listeners in West Virginia. Now you've insulted them, Cole. Yeah. Now they're going to unsubscribe right now because of what you just did. Yeah.

Yeah. Or they're going, what's wrong with that? I don't know. That's what it is. Yeah, man. Anyway, well, dude, thanks so much for coming on, bro. It was a pleasure to have you. Anytime you want to come back, you let us know, man. Happy to have you. And those of you guys, let's do it as always, man. If you like what we do, make sure you let a friend know. And if you hate us, tell two, because it doesn't matter if they're talking good or bad, as long as they're talking about you. That's right.
