this business i'm calling only problems because forget about crime the biggest battle is what's inside so people in life have basically the same five problems health wealth relationships happiness purpose and life everybody's got the same five problems right that's the dirty secret i saw tony robbins once he goes i've helped four million people in these seminars twenty two years and guess what people have five problems and he goes if you think woe is me if you think that it's a big burden on you you guess what in this room right now there's probably five hundred of the people who have you know the this can have the same problem as you whether it's with their their their husband or their kids or their parents or their health or whatever and so a lot of people need therapy but i guess what a lot of people go into to therapy it's two taboo it's too expensive too vulnerable they don't wanna do it people would rather sit on netflix and just watch reality tv for distraction and entertainment wait a minute is that a great idea is that a great idea i just heard yes it is you turn therapy into entertainment so it's called only problems it's only fans for therapy and here's how it works you are going to you pay a monthly subscription and you get to sit in fly on the wall style to somebody going through an actual therapy session with the problem that you have right the but with the area of your life that you're most curious by you can go listen to somebody vent about their relationships about their health problems about their career problems whatever it is they're getting real therapy but they get it subsidized so they get cheap therapy maybe free therapy because there's twenty five people anonymous people who don't know their identity you don't know you don't know the listener identity that get to listen in and they get to back channel talk a little shit in the chat you don't get to see that and they get to sit in on a therapy session therapists get more clients people get more help and other people get kind of secondhand smoke help by being in the crowd and getting to listen or they get the entertainment and they get help alright so we're here we're gonna do a fan favorite the drunk ideas episode this but this episode started when i had some business ideas that i'll admit it i knew they were bad but they weren't all bad they were bad good and bad good is a separate thing altogether bad good how do you explain bad good you know what i mean when i say that right yeah it's like the lady who sells farts in jar like when you're telling someone about it you're like that's that's a stupid it should i've ever heard and then she makes five hundred thousand dollars have you seen that lady yeah yeah this this idea is like the beef five burrito at at at taco bell it's bad good and so so so basically these are ideas that i know are not great but there's some nugget of gold in them there's some truth to them and so they need to be said and so you know i think being drunk is like air cover to saying some silly stupid things neither of us me i don't drink sam doesn't drink when's was the last time you drink like ten years ago ten eight years ago when was the drink ago oh well i i'm not like you know i don't have like my sobriety coin or whatever hell like i just like i just generally i generally don't drink it's like a i'm not a do enough problem yeah yeah you should lie and say you did no no i i didn't have to overcome this i just had get older like so and and and and the best drunk idea last time that i still think about it all the time was called the really long distance girlfriend which was a service where you just text the lady and she just becomes your kim companion but you never actually see her because she just a really long distance girlfriend and she's the best kind of girlfriend she's only supportive why because she's paid that's it she's paid to be great and so you don't have and you don't have to be great you don't have be a great boyfriend she's just a great girlfriend a but down a distance and so she's a really great girlfriend for like a lot of people and you know i should set up a call center in the ukraine because i think that idea still has legs alright so let's do we so this time last time it was just me this time we both were supposed to do this how was this for you i dude i'm good it was ideas how are you all of i've got a few but some of them are actually look like good ideas and some of them are not even that funny but i've got a couple i've got a few but i want you to start so so you only most of ideas are like bad bad ideas no i've got a couple good ones most of mine are things that already kind of exist and i'm shocked that they work and and i have what those are alright alright and so alright so pitch well we're gonna pitch each other these i don't know what yours are you don't know mine are we're gonna pitch each other of these and then ben producer ben young powerful producer ben man of god ben ben who can still dunk and we're gonna see it this weekend ben he's gonna be the judge at the end you're gonna give us the the the best and the worst ideas you know you can give us the winner and the honorable mention alright i'll go first can i go first yeah you're gonna end up going first and second and fourth and fifth probably yeah it's like a fantasy draft where i have three of the teams yeah okay so alright the first idea sam it's called hide away alright let me adam don't wanna ask you a question you need to think of the scariest things in the world maybe you're thinking about snakes maybe the public speaking the right that's we've heard those studies but public speaking is sort of silly nobody's actually afraid of public speaking and they're afraid afraid of public humiliation and there's no greater humiliation than digital humiliation i'm talking about you're in a work presentation and you try to share your screen and you still got a tab open from last night you know that's that's public humiliation but the worst one is if somebody just takes your phone and opens it up and you don't know where they're gonna go with it oh you don't know what they're gonna open and the most i think the most and like they go to your browser in the first letter they're gonna type in and starts with the p and you're like what's gonna auto what's gonna auto yeah please let me you have google pbs recently yeah and so so yeah what's the this a pork chap yeah right whatever so what hide way does is it takes the sensitive parts of it and this is our first product right we're we're really all about preventing digital humiliation but our first product our keynote product the iphone of our mix is a private camera roll so it's actually gonna combine two of my favorite ideas so one we solve the pain of somebody taking your phone or you're trying to show them a photo but you're scrolling through your camera roll of all your photos which is ridiculous of ridiculous invasion of privacy and one of my favorite ideas that something i've always wanted growing up was in a movie you see those secret you know rich people have a have a room in their house with the secret book yes so they you know they pull the fourth book on this on the second shelf and a and a secret door emerges so it's that it's a secret book case it's a murphy door for your for your phone it is hide way and so what is it it's basically a camera and a camera roll that is private and kept separate from your main camera and camera roll so you open up the app it's disguised to look like a harmless app it looks like an amazon kindle app it's like a book books shelf but only when you tap the third seventh and eighth cookbook books does it flip over and it's a camera and then that that camera roll is for your eyes only hide away that's the idea it could be a calculator app it could be a a book book reading app it's gotta be something that looks harmless at even a if your parent looked over your shoulder and saw oh my son is just browsing their latest books he's just doing some quick calculations they don't know that you're actually going to your secret camera roll alright what do you think alright let me let me elaborate a little bit on this so do me a favor and alright you're on a computer go to search photo vault app okay photo app and you the is the first result at apple no no the first result i see is private photo vault pick safe and it's literally the icon is incredible yeah you youtube guy put the icon of this on the screen it's a manila folder but photoshopped onto it is a giant key lock and the key is just going directly through the middle of the manila folder which is incredible so this app it it it's been reviewed eight hundred and seven thousand times mh and it's eighty six in the app store this app has been around for a while and i've looked into a fair bit the founder his name is william sid well sid he's based out of vegas i can't find much information about this company but haven't yeah he he as i shouldn't he's done a good job but i believe he's one of the only employees because i can't find anything on linkedin and an app that's been reviewed eight hundred thousand times i mean it must have been downloading tens of millions of times and they have a premium version and the premium version they like it it does the premium versions like fifty bucks a year and it doesn't and it stores photos and stores documents and stores all this shit but what it does is like it makes your it makes the app look like a game and you have to do photo id and then type in like three different passwords in order to get to just the photo vault password it's pretty interesting in this app i've not seen a lot of people online talk about it but it's kind of a juggernaut man it's been around forever i have to imagine that pictures is one of those most popular category in the app store and this has been ranked eighty six or it is eighty six now and i bet you this has been ranked like that for a long long long time it's crazy the amount of reviews this is this is incredible so you know so if you go to the google play store it'll tell you the download range right apple doesn't do that but on google play this has been downloaded at least ten million times says ten million plus so that means it's above ten but less than fifty million that's that range and and that's just on google play let alone and we i mean you know how i feel about android so yeah we know you know i'm already i'm already thinking if google play if if google play at ten million you just you know what my boys on apple are doing and but i don't know why so this a guy in the youtube comments is always like dude sean always sean always got a comment about android he just does a laughing emoji so i decided to make that my thing but i don't really have anything against it but for the record i do alright the the key feature of this that i didn't have in my pitch d password so sometimes a nosy you person wants into your private photo yes dummy password that will show you just a random set of safe images and they think they got in this guy thought it everything bro this is amazing dude it's fascinating so let's just if we assume that google has ten million which would mean that apple probably has five times that right so fifty million so he's probably has fifty to sixty million downloads ever if you okay yeah well if p well if google is ten million right you said it's at least why would apple be ten why would happen to be five times one it's more google users it's more android users well then maybe my math fucked up so let's just say it's equal let's just say let's just say that it's forty million you don't have to bleep that he did that with two g's fucked up yeah two g's in fact if your kids are in the car turn the volume up that was fine what he just did so yeah that was good like fuck this shi don't it's good so like if he has twenty or thirty million downloads do you think it's i i don't really remember like app conversion rates is it crazy to think that he would have a three percent conversion it's it crazy to think that you'd have one million paying premium users not crazy not crazy so it's forty dollars which means this guy has probably gross in the lifetime forty million bucks from his premium version let's just put it this way at the bottom of the page the copyright two thousand eleven two thousand twenty says it's from legendary software labs llc and i just got a call from the state of delaware and they said there's never been a better better named company that company name was perfectly appropriate we've reviewed it we we we stamp the double stamp and that was correct this is a legendary software and my drunk idea is validated alright you're up alright i found something that it seems like it came out of a a a drunken like bar hang out one night so do me a favor go to santa's club dot com santa's club oh god is this are we going to n f ns s nsf w here no it's safe it it it that it could go either the way but no that the way it's actually everything safe for work now we're working it from home bro like the that that that thing needs to be gone alright talk here what have you seen not not safe for life no on reddit reddit it i go to these forums it'll some of the stuff are tagged not safe for life and it's hilarious it's it's it's a pretty like it'll be like someone popping as it and it says not not safe for life okay so on say at this club there we go thank you so santa's club it was started in two thousand twenty this guy named will evo size started it and each year about fifteen thousand people come to his site and they spent around seventy five dollars it only this business only operates two months out of the year and my god basically if you go to them yes if you go to the website what you're gonna see is like your typical look at santa claus in a studio and he you get to spend fifteen minutes and you do a virtual santa sit on a their lap ask what you want for christmas type of thing for only ten or fifteen minutes and he's got like a studio probably in nevada where instead of cam girls it's just fat santa and he makes according to i read some articles about it in the first year he had fifteen thousand visits and the prices range from thirty five to seventy five dollars per visit which means he's doing around five hundred thousand to a million dollars in only two months and if you go to the website now he's got like a pre sale it's one hundred percent sold out you can't buy anymore the guy's gotta go get more santos dude this is this is genius this is hilarious this is not even a good bad idea this is simply a good good idea so i like this i think i kinda like a little bit better cameo for for santa so i'm gonna i'm gonna give you i'm gonna give you a little side dish there which is santa for cameo for santa or san cameo in fact steven he came on the pod i think did he come on the pub former duke guy built cameo he needs to just implement this new cameo of this holiday season well this is it's very clear santa santa's club they just gotta get the niece bunny the tooth fairy one are the other like characters yeah that's great that's what you gotta do ben do you guys got some holidays where you need a little character of some kind yeah like a joseph smith like a guy in a beard with like eight wives we got pioneer day yeah maybe you know a pioneer type dude that could work fucking no we're just gonna call try to walk with you guys yes we're gonna sorry we got the christian holidays we got we got eastern christmas sorry i i can't do more for you we're gonna call it fairy inc and the employees are gonna be the fairies and we're gonna have easter bunny santa tooth fairy what else is there i i forget what i don't know what else is this are we gonna have any copyright issues because that's also what we call morning brew on the down oh got them no the the this is a good business it's pretty cool so it started off as a drunken idea but it's actually cool i have this lady who i have no i think she listed to the podcast and she fret me on facebook and she dresses like elsa like from frozen and people pay her money to do a call like she like has you know she's like a disney like call this is great it's cosplay but like you know a paid little cameo call or recorded video that makes a lot of sense to me like i know that's like you know obviously copyright infringement but like if it wasn't right santa that that that's that makes sense easter bunny tooth fairy those all make sense that you should be able to do this you know and and especially if you did it on demand somebody could just rip out like hundreds of these in a studio every single day just being like oh amanda you know merry christmas your mom wanted me to tell you you've been doing great job with my blah and up see you later next video and like each one of those this forty dollars a pop you know how like on webinars i think i you'll see you'll see like business webinars and it'll be like neil patel who's on the pod and i'll be like hey everyone this is neil are we live is this thing working is this han and it's like faye like it's a recording but he but he acts like it's real and you see people in the comments like hey neil what's up and he'll say like hey derek from chicago how are you and like you know it's just it's just a recording it's all fake you yeah you know you could do this you could you obviously you could do the same thing i hate when what like that well i don't know if neil does it i think he probably does i think i have seen him do it but there's a lot of webinars that are like that and it's like a recording but what they do is they like put like replies in there and they just it's you know what i mean it's all artificial all fake but it may it make it look real on it's pretty good oh pho it in okay amazing okay so i give this a good good idea i think that's that's solid anything else on this or can i hit you with my next one hit me alright what's the name of a fast growing company that does billions of dollars and serves creators all around the world it's bigger than twitch they provide private photos and videos to their fans if you subscribe you might be considered only their fan that's right only fans now only fans is a great business model the owner of only fans sends of this podcast and they crush it they are absolutely phenomenal business but i got to thinking what other space could you do this in and so i was sitting there and i was thinking and i and you told me about a app that somebody had built called police scanner police scanner plus something like that this app that does millions of dollars a year and i just i couldn't get that out of my head i thought who would do this why would anybody wanna listen to it like a dude i let's to do it all the time if i hear a gunshot or like a loud backfire of a car i immediately opened it up and i'm like alright let's see what what what what's going on here was it real was it not and so there's a curiosity component people i think just like listening to a train wreck in a way they they they like to observe from a safe distance do you have the app called citizen citizen is just like this yeah where it's like you know i using that from when i'm in brooklyn like i'll pull it up it looks like my phone screen is chicken pops like there's red dot all over the place and i'm like there's crime everywhere you know what i'm saying like i i can't be doing that anymore so okay this business i'm calling only problems because forget about crime the biggest battle is what's inside so people in life have basically the same five problems health wealth relationships happiness purpose and life everybody's got the same five problems right that's the dirty secret i saw tony robbins once he goes i've helped four million people in these seminars twenty two years and guess what people have five problems and he goes if you think woe is me if you think that it's a big burden on you guess what in this room right now there's probably five hundred at the people who have you know the this can have the same problem as you whether it's with their their their husband or their kids or their parents or their health or whatever and so a lot of people need therapy but i guess what a lot of people aren't go to therapy it's two taboo it's too expensive too vulnerable then don't wanna do it people would rather sit on netflix and just watch reality tv for distraction entertainment wait a minute is that a great idea is that a great idea i just heard yes it is you turn therapy into entertainment so it's called only problems it's only fans for therapy and here's how it works you are going to you pay a monthly subscription and you get to sit in fly on the wall style to somebody

about their health problems about the career problems whatever it is they're getting real therapy but they get it subsidized so they get cheap therapy maybe free therapy because there's twenty five people anonymous people who don't know their identity you don't know you don't know listener identity that get to listen in and they get to back channel talk a little shit in the chat you don't get to see that and they get to sit it in on a therapy session therapists get more clients people get more help and other people get kind of secondhand smoke help by being in the crowd and getting to listen they get the entertainment and they get help have you ever seen this movie honestly honestly i'm gonna just say it right now i wrote this idea down and i got i got goosebumps under this harry yeah yeah got a little little arm mountains dude have you have you seen the movie fight club of course so it there's like one of the premises of the movie is that this guy ed norton i guess he's tyler i don't know i forget his same tyler jordan and then he meets that woman that's like the love interest and what they do is it they go to terminal cancer anonymous meetings and i don't know why i forget why but they like they make them feel alive and it like make them feel happy because they think that they're all screwed up and they're like wanna go meet with people who are actually dying and it's like oddly therapeutic for them what you're describing is kind of like that where you sit and you're like oh wow this guy really is fucked up i'm straight i'm good yeah you know what i mean yeah gratitude as a service right it ain't so bad after all we say when apple bad yeah could be worse this is is crazy freak yeah and and and that's the thing the crazier your problems are the more vulnerable and open you get the more people tip little hearts in the app the bigger rev share you get as part of doing that therapy you're incentivized to be screwed up and you can just make stuff up to be honest with you but like you're definitely at your spring right why do we like your spring why do you still watch your spring reruns every morning before work because we like to watch other people have f up problems and then see them deal with it and we like fights also but that's the that's what i'm tapping into here i'm but i'm doing it through an app i'm doing it it's called only problems and honestly if you're gonna run with this you better hit sean at sean dot that's all like i need to i need to see an email from somebody tried this idea i feel like i genuinely feel like this is one of those ideas that's like no way and then it gets huge it reminds me of like the people who wanna go watch someone do surgery have you ever seen like those like setups where you where for no so for for like if you're a student like there's these medical rooms that have it's like a it's like a two way mirror almost yeah and you have like a it's like watching an execution almost like you just like sit there and you just like watch what they're doing that's what this reminds me have you ever been to this subreddit called popping no but i i was gonna bring up the addictive way that people want you like pop a black hat or a pimple or whatever there's a subreddit there's a subreddit called popping i've been on the front of it yeah you see i've been on the front page you see the scar right here yes yeah so i have a i i have a big scar my because i had like a ping pong ball size thing like growing like on my brain and i had to get surgery like in two of fourteen and get it taken out and right before i go under i go to the surgeon and i go hey man do you have your iphone on you he goes yeah i go can you save my number and take some pictures when i'm under so you can like get some like before after during picks of a surgery so i could post it on ars slash popping and he did it he he texted me and i got these like beautiful photos of like this this growth like being popped and scraped off my brain and i posted it on that subreddit and i got like eighty thousand views on my photo album and so i'm a member of our slash popping i love it and so may not have a blue check mark on twitter but you always have this yeah you put this in your bio put this on your linkedin in front forward front page yeah four from serial front pager of r slash popping dude i have it i i i i also have to find it and set it to you but you see like you know like and then he also like cut some fat from my stomach and then he like putt it into the hole and like you so you like see this whole process of like there'd be a girl move out of apartment and you hung top so you gotta fill a hole yeah you took a little fat off me and he just like putt that bad boy yet and i woke up and like my stomach was hurting was like dude i thought you're gonna take for my legs he's like no your leg was pretty muscular so we just took them off your stomach yet get a lot there and i asked so they just kinda like take but okay yeah well i have muscular legs not always a muscular stomach and one bar cr at cr is we don't mess with perfection so i couldn't touch the legs so anyway onboard with only problems good idea thank you thank you alright you or you want me to go third also let me let me i'll this is the last one i probably have well i got one more but alright the biggest this is this is a little bit of a stretch but i actually don't think it is that much of a stretch the most popular business publication in the world by digital audience what do you think it is most populous what most popular way most popular digital business publication in the world by traffic how much so there's wall street journal there's time market cap dot com twain market cap that's a good guess that probably does how much probably fifty million a month in yeah so there's wall street journal there's financial times dot com there's coin market cap there's business insider or business insider probably gets a lot i'd hypo i would say night hypo pot size the largest business publication in the world is run by basically two people and it is called slide share you ever been a slide share of i love slide chair wow that's so i thought you were gonna bring up dr report again by the way no slide share so slide share is this site that was started by i forget her name but she's an interesting founder she's like pretty outspoken on twitter and i like her a lot anyway right indian woman yeah she started it and she sold it to linkedin for like a hundred and fifty million dollars and slide share was what most indian social network of all time just powerpoint that's what slide win a slack off but make your parents proud at the same time yeah did you see a our our buddy she'll he just got engaged and he's helios i have an aunt who doesn't speak english she only knows a few words but the only words that she knows she text me all the time and it says are you married yet and you're like posted screenshots of of the of of her asking that in in perfect english are you married yet please be married please be married so slide share it's just like a it's just a website where you upload shit right you upload decks well linkedin bought it in two thousand twelve and it just sat there and then scribe do you know sc or is it sc script yeah sc they bought it and i'm almost certain looking at linkedin and looking at the website that like one and a half engineers are the only employees working on this and they were for sale a little while so so like i don't think this is entirely guessing but basically they get between a hundred to a hundred and fifty million visits a month and most of the content or about half but it could be at this point most is like marketing decks pitched pitch decks conference decks on business strategy and it makes virtually no revenue if you go there you won't see any ads and it's just this website that does a hundred to a hundred and fifty maybe two hundred million monthly visits it's this juggernaut of a website with if you look at the website it hasn't been updated in years and years and years and years here's my idea if i were a b2b company if i were salesforce or a hubspot or if i were i don't know anyone selling like software or anything that sells people to shit for people who goes to like you know these like business conference i would buy it and turn it into a b2b lead legion website and i think that you can make a ton of money off this website because here's why any website that gets a ton of traffic from user generated content once it hits a critical mass which slide share does it's like impossible to stop you know what i'm saying it just keeps going and it's almost impossible to catch up with that it's really really really hard so i think that this website is just sitting there floating along not doing anything and it could actually be a business that makes nine figures a year through ads which is like the best revenue of all time when you don't actually have to like make anything yeah you have super high value customers because it's only business people that are gonna be doing this so and who bought that didn't linkedin by them at some point or no linkedin bought in two thousand twelve and it just sat there and they did nothing with it and then they sold to me yeah and i think they paid one fifty they paid nine figures for it and then they sold it to script and if i had a bet script like linkedin was like just get us off our hands just don't fire anyone who works on it and like assume all the liability and like just it's yours just go just go away so check out this tweet i just put in the chat okay it says it's from you and it says free five hundred million dollar idea reinvent and relaunch slide share alright great great minds thinking like if there's a if there's a talented engineer designer who wants to do this i'll give you money and share my one page plan on how to attack this alright i want dude we're on the same page share i think do you wanna see my one page plan yeah you can't it doesn't exist i just wrote that out and i was like if somebody actually reaches out that's interesting for this i will come up with a one page plan of how i would do this because to me slide here is so ripe for the picking it is completely neglected it is extremely valuable as a like a potential tool it never really got replaced properly by something else it didn't didn't become obsolete and and and it's just one of those like big opportunities hiding in plain sight and i would love to basically brainstorm how to how i would attack this kind of slide share problem but the opportunity was missed linkedin if you know one of us or someone listening had a little bit of like charm and suave and was able to get connected with the linkedin people they would have given it to you it would've have been like yeah it have been free i don't know about because script isn't a big enough company where they're like oh yeah here we don't give a fuck just take it but when you're own by microsoft they're just like i imagine they're just like we can't focus on this right now yeah an undisclosed price this would have been i mean i can't imagine this was that much i i could be wrong but like it didn't make any revenue i feel like they probably got this like ten million dollars or something or less less yeah wow or less missed opportunity that is a serious missed opportunity that's not that drunk of an idea but anyway it's an idea alright i got another one let me let me let me make a i'm all up by the way i you don't wanna know how long this list is and it all came to me in one giant flood you know i i just dumped them all out of you what do you do do you just like come up with like names are you like michael scott where he just like has a name for something and you build a business or out it no joke that's part of it my thing was sort of like you have to find something relatable either something that really sucks or that's really awesome and then just use it in an unexpected way right so like yeah like the corona nut you're just smashing two things together exactly so i saw this like the hidden book case thing and i was like oh my god i freaking always wanted one of these where i the three piano keys and a door opens or i pulled the books shelf book i tilt the book out and like opens the secret door so how do i take that awesome thing and just use it in an an unexpected way and that's where that idea came from have seen have you ever seen those for guns so you i've thought about buying one of these where you can put like a shelf like you know how you have a shelf next to your front door that you put your keys on yeah you can buy some of these and you click a button and it opens a little bit on the bottom and you just grab your pistol and they're pretty sick that's pretty cool okay i like that but like my fanny pack in there maybe for when i leave my mouse like some cheese exactly but would it fit a regulation size bag of corn nuts yeah you cheese it your cheese at storage alright so speaking of work bag from a great idea here's the here's the name of this one i mean ben you might wanna get your pencil out for the top winner of the the episode instagram harness sounds look weird so like ben han it's benny han for photo opportunities okay so here's how it works it's a restaurant that's not about the food it's a restaurant about the content like the museum of ice cream baby people roll in their it's like the of ice cream but it's seated and it is like basically people go to restaurants they order food and they order like oh we got a fish bowl drink or we're drinking beer out of up shoe and like oh we got the huge like donuts at the end and they take pictures and it becomes content or like they use sparkle instead of birthday candles now i started a restaurant i know all the problems about restaurants you got all this food waste she got high labor cost you got all you don't actually you're not running this like a restaurant so here's how it works it's like benny honest you go there's like i don't know thirty tables you sit down every table see it's like eight people and you go as a group and you're going for an experience you're not going for the food and two things happen so basically food is gonna come out that and each one is photo worthy food either because it's gross it's funny looking it's huge it's so indulge it's right it's like you know a giant pile of sour gummy worms it's oh it's a it's the the mega green doughnut how were we ever gonna eat this oh look it's so funny to watch me try that sort of thing oh the we this guy's is gonna come out and you know we have to drink this giant beer can that's like you know thirty six ounces or whatever i don't know what a big beer can three hundred sixty ounces let's say and so that's the that's the idea it's all photo worthy food it's brought out like casa at a studio we're gonna call the the food porn cafe instagram han is the name but if you'd like to launch a competitor bring it on there's a drone camera that just flies right above the the table and it's just recording the whole thing and it's just gonna the it just dumps it in a a google drive folder and there's a guy in india one guy who's editing everybody's photos all night everybody's content all night and at the end you're gonna get the three or four best reaction shots because the food gets revealed you know like like when you you know it's like it's like when you get a picture on roller coaster exactly it's the exactly but we're using outsource labor they're the drone is capturing everything and and and in the food and it feels like a party there's a dj you know like those new york brunch for cool people this is that for fat people so instead of being cool and having to like know how to dance and stand up on the table and drink champagne at nine in the morning you sit and food comes out that's crazy and you get eat it and you get to make a big mess and it's gonna you react sessions on your and your attempts are all all photo and video recorded hundred dollars a person plus tips eight people per table i'm thinking you know twenty maybe thirty tables you know two or three turns per night and we're talking a million dollar a month easy on this food cost is way down because it's not even real food you're just doing like giant popcorn and silly stuff you're no no proteins you don't have to worry about that there's no food waste because it's you're just bringing out one thing for the table to react lighting each person your your five pound burger doesn't need taste good exactly it's like ben han there's like a harvard business school case study on how amazing ben han is and one of the reasons is like they because they put there's no kitchen space they use the whole restaurant for like for for dining because the the chef is at the the the stove is the table basically and they have like higher labor costs because they've skilled chefs but they have way lower like you know they use a real estate better and like their food waste way down because i have limited venue so it's you kinda do all that smart stuff have you ever what do you think i'm in i i'm into it have you ever heard the background of benny hana the guy rocky i think is his name yeah so he's basically we wrote about it and it was one of them our most traffic of trafficked articles for a long time he's basically you know he's an immigrant came here with nothing and then you know who his son is is steve the the dj oh no way i did not know that yeah and this guy rocky i think he i i forget the article but it was like one of those like most interesting man alive stories where like he had been involved in like porn and then benny han were like got big and then went bankrupt then he bought it back and it went big again and then he was like this international man of mystery it like it's a really interesting story and people love that company and it's still crushing i went i we just go to team dinners there i fucking love benny h but dude i'm into this bring it up dude when we're in like a car and it's like oh we're gonna be i'm like i think there's a benny han around here down don't know there but i'm just like i'm just waiting for that to latch somebody to be like that'd be fun never i never get support on it i'm always tossing a little benny han you know test flare out there back you know i guess we could do big groups stuff honestly they got get tables and i'm like no one ever bites i don't know why i i'm like i've been i'm owed for twelve on this thing how is that meme guy you brought up on instagram during the pandemic who started that cookie business that just made the most ridiculous cookies you remember like i think it's mike how's he doing he's grand i checked him nominated i don't know he's i think they're doing fine i i'm am not sure i ordered cookies honestly they were not great something that i'm sort of like what's the fuss but that's kind of how a lot of these food craze are like the expectations get way out of whack and what about museum of ice cream so the museum of ice cream they started a little bit before the pandemic and you and i like or a bunch of a lot of people made fun of them because they raised like fifty million dollars at a two hundred fifty million dollar valuation and basically i don't even think they serve ice cream there it's just like a ball pit and like funny ice cream stuff and you pay like twenty bucks and you go to take pictures right yeah you've never been to it no but it's like a haunted house you walk from room to room at each room has its own like kind of crazy thing and sometimes you get to eat a little bit but most of the time it's just photos with like a cool cool room it's instagram content in manhattan i walked by one recently and the line was around the block and i've gone by it a few times and there's always a long line to go in i think they they have to be killing it right i thought so but then the s one closed so i don't know what happened but well s nsf closed right so but the manhattan one the manhattan one is just i mean that's really when it's like s just like shut down for maintenance so they fit down for like four years you that these supervisor said the same thing that every like tech person in san francisco said just laugh if i get them i'm out of here yeah it was like an audible sigh just like fine i'm out yeah i think yeah i'm on board with this i think it's good we did a breakdown where we talked about like the company's like cro and like fond do only stores and like all these companies it it's like what do you have do you have to take like you gotta dig a food and put it in a weird shape or a weird size or a weird color yeah or you match a weird container a weird container yeah or you mash two things that are kinda related but not entirely related like a burger in the shape of a hotdog dog or a corona or something lo taco whatever the big taco bell thing exactly or you take something that's typically side or topping and you make that the only thing like a cookie dough only place that serves it in a ice cream tin or a ice cream thing what else were i figured what they were you're like the the rain man figuring out this food trick like everybody else just saw each one of these is like oh weird that's weird and you're like i see the pack yeah see i mean what what's wrong what let's wrong at the left side of your face right now you need to go you're think it's i figured it i'm figuring no it's it's all rooted in like an eating disorder like i go to i go to food therapy in like you know i need to go to your therapy and talk about i use i pay a lady seven hundred dollars a month just to talk about food every single morning clearly there's issues there yeah so i just roll under your pillow for some reason yeah the amount of times that i've eaten a jar of gif peanut butter in one sitting is goddamn just way too high it's way too high we need a gif of you just eating a jar of gif in one city that have you done tea dude i've eaten a full jar with just a spoon multiple times it's just too addict a bit your line alright i have more let me give you i got maybe one maybe two more let's see how goes you probably don't watch the show but this show that's hot on netflix called indian match maker have you seen it of course i watch that show you watch it okay i thought this might be only entertaining to indian people because it's like no dude pretty bad you kidding me i watch it all time and in my head i'm just thinking y'all screwed up you guys are so weird like why are you kidding me look i how is the suicide rate not higher amongst you people like you know don't make me send the british back in there are you guys get get together this year what the hell man like they'll don't be this like beautiful doctor in her thirties making money she's pretty she's nice and inner her mom's like yell at her like criticizing her for not being buried it's crazy i can find this client in full have you heard of hubspot hubspot is a crm platform so it shares its data from every application every team can stay aligned no out of sync spreadsheets are doing databases hubspot grow better so my sister called me last night after she's like i finished season two and she just goes i need to ask you something hope it's not too personal i was like oh what's it gonna be and she goes when you first met when you first sony did you did you have game because on the show the indian guys have zero game and i was game like what do you mean like i guess so and she's was like no think about i guess she was like she's was like these guys they're nice guys they're smart guys they're like you know they're they're good job they're normal people they're no crazy drug habits the reason they're are still single is because they don't know how to look at talk to or touch a girl and i was like oh yeah i had that problem yeah yeah that's me too actually you're right dude i i saw someone post a picture of a painting of a naked woman from like the seventeen hundreds and and it was all indian guys commenting saying like hey baby i love you i love you for a long time text me coffee yeah that's like if if you're ever a girl who does like live streaming on like whatever twitch or like whatever periscope whatever whatever app they're all like what is why are there's so many men in like turkey the middle east and india who will just there's just flood their chat and they just keeps saying show bob's show bob's show bob's then they go do and they just say he say show bob's bobs what so you didn't have game you were you were you were so so i asked then i asked my wife i was like i was like yeah my sister asked me this i was like i don't think i did did i she's like no you didn't and i was like i was like she's like you had a different type you had like intellectual game like she's like you're gonna at telling stories or you would say interesting things and that counts but like that's scary like the basic like she she's like you didn't know how to like kinda like you know there was no smoothness to like the oh we're walking down the street like let's i just hold my hand without like us having like the first time like how do you do that smooth the first time or you know like in san francisco the streets are a little dangerous she's like you know you would always like walk on the inside of the street i'd be on the edge like right by the cars and the bombs and like you know you didn't know to just like stand on that side just like the little kind of male protective instincts a little bit of like you know pull my chair out you know well let me sit down first that's like you know there don't give me a high five when we're when we're like you know ending the day i don't say like see when we leave like gonna say something else like you know like no show and it's like i was i open the door for you she she's like yeah you would like open the door and be like scoot in like i like sw crossed and then i'll sit on this like i'll get in after you it's like you know you're supposed to go to the other side and like they open the door for me and then you go to the other side i was like oh yeah like that's so much effort like you know it's fine and and so there was a whole bunch of things like that and i remember i dated a girl once in australia and i'll always give her credit she was she kind was like an amazing girl and she taught me one thing which was she was like you know whenever you're actually been even a really neighbor's kind of in the flirting phase but she was like she was teaching me how to she was like a dancer she was teaching me how to do like she was like sam like champion or something shit like that and or sam i think sam was like is fighting yeah it's like and it's ram like rush too yeah sat sam i guess i said it's salsa and she was like okay said just like put your hand here and whatever and then she like looked at my hand i was like i put it right where you said and she's was like yeah but look at it and i looked at it him and my hands like you know like limp basically he's like my head was there but like a dead firm to it it was like you know it was nothing and she goes if you're gonna touch a girl touch with intent and i was like oh and i i literally never forgot that that was like fifteen years ago and in my head i'm always was like i got taught a real like lesson in like man stuff that day i like how to do like do things with girls like touch with intent and i was like i didn't even really understand what the hell she meant but like that was the first time i got taught so here's the idea basically it's swag school and it just teaches indian guys how to have a little more game so you go to it seminar seminars like toast masters or alcoholic anonymous and you go and you sit in a circle and first you just say you know my name is sean and i am awkward and then ever everybody says welcome sean and then the next guy says hey my name is p doctor bay and i am awkward ever so well thank you and it just goes around the circle and it's gonna teach you how to how to look at a girl out to touch a girl how to have some presence how to sit sit straight stand up straight how to dress how to go in for a kiss and there's just a girl there to teach you how to do it because guess what you can't learn it in a textbook so that's it swag what do you think love it have you heard do you remember art of charm our friend jordan it he's got a new thing jordan harbinger but now it it used to be called art charm do you remember that it's like a was it like a five day boot camp for men is that what was it five days to remember i don't really know i know he has the podcast and i used to read the blog so listen to this he spoke at one of my events and he talked about it and so it was him and two other guys they had like a falling out this is like before they had the falling out and their business was called art of charm and it was teaching men how to be more charming and he would also teach like he would go and talk to like navy seals and talk about like how to use charm to like you know like blend in and shit like that and so they were making if i remember correctly ten million dollars a year hosting these what did you just say they used to go teach navy seals how use charm to blend in with what like the water water like it was like you know what all this espionage trading you're doing no at no wendy did you need to look from me no that's what he did it was like like i don't fucking know like that's just when he told me he was like he they called it operators or something like special op special ops that's why need dude i wanna start a company just called fortune five hundred and so people can be like yeah work with fortune five hundred companies and like you know hey you're not lying sounds cool when you're pitching your services it's like dan v dot org that navy seals s e e l s and you could just say i train navy seals one dude so he was making like ten million dollars a year hosting these like four day boot camps and i knew a guy who went to one and he said it changed my life and this guy ended up he was just do guy who i'm friends with and he married this beautiful awesome woman and i was like making a joke him like how'd you pull that off and he's like man i went to this art charm boot camp and he just taught me how to like be more confident and like talk to women and it totally worked so long story short swag school down on d etf with with swag school alright well you validated me there okay great so i think we i have more i have so many more but i think we save it if people like this we can make this ever currently this is the second addition of drunk ideas let us know what you think in the pretty good right at least pretty good all feedback now in the youtube comments i'm replying i'm reading every single one i don't want emails i don't want twitter i only want youtube comments now are you all you're you're on onboard with this youtube training it's going to my head is going to your it's so much fun yeah like hey the videos get more views now we're out of the pathetic range or it's like three point three thousand views i'm just like oh man like you know it's like i kinda wanna it's like i need to like make a disclaimer it's like but the putt cast just bigger like you know like yeah i i need to say it all the time i'd be like well the podcast it's like yeah yeah it's mostly podcast we just started youtube but you don't have to print out your podcast that's okay no now i think a lot of episodes won't get twenty thirty forty thousand views on youtube so yeah i'm about it and the comment section it is interesting also some of these people are just really stupid there's so many stupid comment like out you see some of the stuff they post it's like what do you what what's this have to do with anything so there's a lot of students and there's so many scammers the typical scam is scammer is so annoying so there's one scammer that acts like he's us and then there's another scammer where it's like i totally agree with you and that's why he's the the the first guy this guy is pretending to be he replies every comment and his thing is my first million but he's using like emoji for the letters it's like and the m is like a yellow yeah yeah that's he's like i'm enjoying whatsapp group yeah comment in my whatsapp group and he's trying to scam me on whatsapp and then the other one is so annoying it's always the top comment on every video and like my mission in life is did like this person i hate it and it says i totally agree with what you just said in fact that's why i started following aunt linda she's taught me all i need to know about four trading and crypto trading if you're interested here's your information and then somehow they get like eighty people yet to comment and so like goes up number one and it looks legit i kinda like those the best i was skeptical at first but she really turned it around for me oh i turned two thousand into eighteen thousand thank you so much linda linda if you're reading this blah blah and it just goes on and that's all the comments and it's the top comment on every youtube video need it for any finance related channel is so annoying it's like you what the economy the way i totally agree but what the economy the way it is nowadays investing is harder than ever i'm so thankful for for you know doctor baldwin investing whatsapp group i you know it's really been a life changer me and then ever like doctor baldwin is amazing and it's like the same thing every such a good stand it's such a a scam it's a really well done scam and i can't but i can't stand it anyway yeah i'm on board at youtube that's our place now which means you're gonna have to start like where this is my jacket so you gotta like you gotta get like a jacket or something you
