facebook stock is soaring it's up forty three percent in the last month sue getting rich out of it fellas did you call it did you know that facebook was gonna rebound right now facebook like i i i haven't bought ads on it recently sean but i was talking to some of my folks who worked with you on the milk row and i was talking to some of the people who worked at hubspot who are the people who worked on the hustle at hubspot facebook ads are killing it there seemed like they're working really nicely like when i was running it it was like you know we acquiring users for like three or four dollars and then nowadays is back down to like one fifty when we first started so it's kinda easy to see i guess what about you yeah i i i i bet on it so i took i don't know two hundred fifty thousand dollars like i know three or four months ago and i bought meta because i was like why is everybody down on meta and i was like they forget the number one rule you don't bet against z and like you know to anybody who's like oh but the you know the meta blah blah blah i'm like i just send them the video clip of mark zuckerberg doing mma and i'm like this is who you're trying to bet against the guy that since age eighteen has just been like dominating everything he's tried to do the guy who's created the biggest social network ever that bought all of his competitors and killed you know every everybody else who tried to compete with him including google when they try to compete with him on social and now we trains mma and before that he learned to hunt and speak chinese fluently you think this guy just get lose money because apple changed their cookie policy or whatever jed out of here with that no way and so called the broker up i say griffin bye he said buy what i said you know what to buy by z he says how do you spell that i said z u c k he said that's not to ticker her i said this griffin call suck and tell him i want some shares and so we bought some shares and i i think we're double from where bought i know where i i don't know exactly i think it's eighty i'm up eighty percent on that that sean sean and i used the same guy by i check i we both use griffin what did griffin say let me i mean i actually check the number so i don't i don't mis quote myself here did he did he say are you sure sean or as he goes yes sir i you go go and do it well he texted me the other day he goes great call on meta and i go thank you for the compliment of it because i've lost a lot of money this year and think yeah that's why i send this okay not quite double but but close we're we we will be double so we're up fifth only only fifty percent so so a little bit little bit less than i thought fifty percent still still not bad in a couple months dude sarah started working at sarah used to work at facebook in two thousand and twelve and i was like doing some math about what she would have yeah two thousand twelve she started or sorry fourteen she started working there and i was doing the math on like where she would be if she just stayed there and we were talking about it and i was like well pro you would have gotten fairly wealthy con like her job there was like how do i make like a sticker emoji that gets people in brazil to share more selfies so it's like you know you wanna like you're gonna wanna like kill yourself and this is black and lame but like they pay for your lunch and you get over your you get our oil change and like that stock back then was only forty seven dollars at its peak was three hundred and seventy two dollars i mean that's pretty sick but yeah man like facebook's killer never bet against them dude when we were going through our sale process facebook was one of the potential buyers they offered deal no this was twenty nineteen twenty twenty something like that nineteen okay so back then it was a two hundred dollars yeah so we so it's it's good that the stock is down from when we would have got acquired because it was you know stock was a a significant part of the deal but we we're the the difference if talent quality between we interviewed with we talked to youtube we talked to to twitch where ended up going to facebook to discord to a bunch of other players and facebook was so much more so much better so much more impressive i was like okay you know like if i was just going off of who what talent would we be around it's not even close like the numbers are not even like the math of of the difference of these offers is not even close but i was at optimize a lot of the things a lot of people who have i've who i've talked with uber at facebook they're sharp as hell like i remember just walking around that campus it i felt like i at the un you know what i mean like there's like like there's so many different like types of like colors and like ae ethnicities it it was like they just like cherry pick the best of all over the world and it was at that blue was at men park or i forget where it was but like walking around that campus i feel on inspired one one of the guys who would have been reporting to me there he was like yeah as my like intro like when you get there you do like a demo project or you do like an intro project i guess if you're early on as a engineer or a product manager or something like that to like just get onboard you do like a hack project and he created basically facebook marketplace in that and ended up running that perk like working on that but i was like you know his prototype was like the one of the original genesis things and another guy was like i was what did you do before that she's like oh i was at microsoft i was like okay well one boring thing to another great and he's like yeah i invented the the you know microsoft three sixty five like you know i was like we should go to the cloud and make this a subscription and nobody agreed with me and i just kept working on it for like two years and he's like i just literally had a separate machine under my desk where i was like i'm gonna build it on this machine and like i'm gonna do it here and i was like okay so my takeaway was like you guys are smart man if i come here i'm gonna have to work i'm ever work hard you know because you can't just like be lazy around these people they're great alright which one which one i'm we for now let's go jack butcher jack butcher richards t project which is called checks v four it's much art around the check mark has recently become the top trading n nlp project by volume surpassing board apes i didn't realize it was that big i think that's probably like on a this week type basis yeah that's correct no yeah yeah not all time in in terms of like active trading volume either this week or in a in a single day but what do you guys have to say to our boy jack buddy jack's getting rich love it dude so i'm biased jack's like a close family friend him and his wife are very i'm i'm very close with those folks they're are awesome and jack is more of an artist close enough that he sent you some of these n entities oof well i got that says internet on it that i you can sent me a thirty percent coupon code i got a t shirt jack to jack's pug rock man jack's more of an artist than he is a businessman and if you go to his website visualize value and you read the copy for the check mark it is that's what we like to say beautifully done good it's it's like it's it's just an net tea but it's just so tasteful it's classy it's delightful no he's done a good job man i i think it's cool i still i'm not on i'm not an n nxt guy you know corn neck tattoos n t's not for me but cool that other people have them and that's kinda how i feel about an nxt still but if i were gonna do an it'd be his yeah looks like last seven days it's done fifteen million in sales volume no and and it's the fourth ranked one in the last seven days maybe so so really impressive it's just right i i don't say it like that no i'm not okay it's nike just a sw yeah look i'm not saying it that way what is it i didn't actually is it like you get a just just color check and you click that edge or no i'm not disrespect it at all but i'm wondering i'm messy because i'm not i'm not in this world it went from eight dollars which was the price that elon was trying to charge for a blue check on twitter right so that's like the the state the political statement he's making here so it went from eight dollars which was his like opening price i think to closer to four thousand dollars per per n nxt now so incredible incredible surge and he is like i don't know he's not there yet this is sort of like comparing is a little bit of a stretch of a comparison but he's kinda like a internet banks see a little bit like he total shit that's like it's a commentary on what's going on in the world and he just the guy just hits he just hits like i have i seen him do anything that caught like that's all that dope h o hits only and he's a few people who has h joe status dude he makes hits he so he started out so jack's are good buddy if you don't know jack follow on twitter he started out he had an ad agency and then he he worked at an ad agency and then he started make his own at agency and it was going okay and then he created this course called build one sell twice which is hilarious name yeah amazing name and it's about how to product ties a service and he starts selling that course and he basically was like i remember i did a call with him and his wife one time when we first started to get a know one another and they in like a four hundred or five hundred square foot studio apartment that they lived in and they weren't like killing it and then like he had the year of his life in two thousand twenty or two thousand twenty one kills it now if you go to his website visualize value dot com the reason why i love him is you see like his background you see his courses but he also has this tab called visuals where you can like look at some of his artwork but then he has a merch store and his merch store is actually awesome he has these sweatshirt shirts that say college kinda like you know that but it says internet and like he just does things like that but are actually awesome and it like when i go to his site i'm like oh i'm like this do internet guy too but he is merch i'm inspired to be like a lot cooler like he is it's awesome he's he's badass ass i'm a big jack fan me too me too we're we're we're big fans of him alright what's up alright next up we got moon walkers it's a new shoe that's like half a roller skate i don't know if you guys had a chance
