Could he sponsor me? How give you money? Just shout like why? Because I need money? Maybe I could just give you money. There's 10 bucks, there's another 10 bucks. there's a hundred bucks. Can I tell you something? Yeah, earning feels a lot better than just being given it.

How old are you ten like that? 120 At 10, you're excited. But I Promise you, when you get 15, you get 20, you'll feel better that you actually made it yourself versus some random guy gave it to you. If you get into the habit of just trying to get it quick and short without you actually earning it, you're never gonna get what the you want I did trade attention and build businesses Legacy is greater than currency like documented. The V friends booth has been popping for the last three days.

With tonight being the night of the big CNC tournament, we're showing you more of the game. Here's Gary to explain how this all started. Let's start. let's start in 2018: I Was gonna make a toy called Workplace Warriors because I got so many DMS For people that were miserable at work and they hate their boss, they hate their co-workers they hate their job.

this is up then I noticed when I would go to the bathroom in the office like every single desk had Simpsons toys Marvel Toys Disney Toys I've always been fascinated by IP and pop culture. I was like you know what? I'm gonna make some toys called Workplace Warriors to cheer people up I got busy and then covet hit so it sat on the show. then Nfts come out I'm like you know what? I'm gonna bring back that workplace Warriors Idea got to work. started thinking and then I came up with the defense concept which is strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends, friends become family I'm really a Sesame Street meets Pokemon if I'm being to the point as I can be So I launched this two years ago.

created these characters originally I drew them. Now they've been converted into this character form that you see created a TCG doing animation and trying to build a really cool non-sports car brand and I'm really enjoying it. Now back to the show. Foreign he made me a little Pudge I'm a little bit upset about that but I do fluctuate.

All right. All right here we go. this is for Chad Chad Come on Holy that's the best core Decor Back to back the best three colors I've ever seen ever. Just launched the official rules wearing our first beta tournament tonight.

52 competitors we're excited about it. Is there a character for you? that disability speaks to you the most accountable? Aunt I Think accountability is the biggest issue in our society right now. We've gotten very good at pointing fingers that it's everybody else's fault and so I think if I can make people fall in love with the countable and then I can make people fall in love with accountability and I think a lot of people can get out of Dark Places once they realize they're in control, thank you. That guy's not showing up tomorrow he went to Fisheries know a long time says you want the booth first said I'll take it but then fish came to me and said you take it you set up six tables.

We're gonna do the game. What are these for tonight? There's 52 contestants for being collected tonight and they're all getting this sandwich. Whoever wins tonight's tournament? the single most valuable defense card of all time. Let's see.

the other one we're gonna do is I'm gonna eat it. Do it. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Oh come on. I had some very dark times and when I started listening to you I got a whole different mindset of how lucky I am to just be here. period And I Needed you to tell me face what what do I need to do to keep growing my YouTube channel because I have a YouTube channel but I still haven't gotten how much effort do you put in your thumbnails, your titles, your first three seconds. There's craft to this I need to do more studies of how? yeah now go do the push-ups I Just needed you to tell me you got it brother.

thank you. Stay well on my desk. It makes me happy and then how Full Circle that is for me. Do you know that the Original The Friends was going to be called Workplace Warriors And it was to have people put these characters on their desk so you look at it and you think about I need to be appreciate with that person right now, right? So I Love that this sits on your desk.

That means a lot to me. No worries I Just know you have three point five million subscribers on YouTube That's right. Could he sponsor me sponsor you? Yeah! I Have a YouTube channel? How give you money? Just shout like why? because I need money? Maybe I could just give you money? Sure there's 10 bucks, there's another 10 bucks. there's a hundred bucks.

Thank you! Can I tell you something? Yeah, earning feels a lot better than just being given it. How old are you ten like that? 120 At 10 you're excited. But I promise you, when you get 15 you get 20, you'll feel better that you actually made it yourself versus some random guy I gave it to you. You need to go out and earn your subscribers instead of somebody just giving it to you.

If you get into the habit of just trying to get it quick and short without you actually earning it, you're never gonna get what the you want. You understand? Yes! So now you need to start thinking about how do you make videos that are actually good that people want to watch instead of hoping Mr Beast or Clicks gives you a shout out and you win a lottery ticket? Go out and earn it. My man. it will taste better.

You're gonna waste that 120 because it came easy, but if you earned it, you would have bought smart. Give me a hug. Get in here. you understand that.

Learn that lesson my dude. What's your YouTube channel? It's Gary Vaynerchuk I Know you won't remember that. Yeah, but don't worry one day you will know. Thank you.

This is serious and good luck is mine. You guys are asking I Came in here and you've got annihilated. It wasn't even close. Wow.

That means you're gonna get more into it. But how are you feeling right now? Confident or concerned? Confident? How are you feeling Double confidence I Like it rips early into the tournament. What are you feeling right now? People are strategic. It's not so simple when you got a good cards, it's about getting into Bluff First time that people are playing cards well.

Speaking of my contacts, somebody came prepared. There will be no seeing the eyes of this man. People are learning. A lot of people that lost have already realized their mistakes and they're chomping to play again.

That's a good sign for a game. Absolutely. I Think we're having a good first tournament with a lot of our original OG family members which makes me happy. I'm excited for the winner.

We've got some good players. Dalton you were the worst player even though you were the elite eight. that is true. He's very upset.

That is the face of a man who was in the elite eight and feels like he should be in the final four. Oh foreign, aware of what? Tournament winning cards and things of that nature. trophy cards, trophy cards. We're so thrilled to be able to make this for you.

braided I'm just so excited. All of you have this and I hope you hold on to it and cherish it. 52 of those remain what we're about to tell you. There was only one made up.

The biggest moment in the history of Be Friends Trading cards happen today when this card came back to us graded in a manner that we did not expect the first ever be friends and it's a CTC Black Label it's time to play Rock Paper Scissors Five minutes later oh my God what happened there in the finals. It was pretty quick when I saw that Phoenix when I saw that Phoenix I was like odds are he doesn't have over a 108. So but I tell you what? Every one of these I thought I was going to lose every single one of these coming into it. How many boxes I've collected you did you journey to this set? Yep, 107.

so and we've now really started the process of the vision we had back then of turning that card not only to be a collectible, but to be a TCG Trading Card Game Our first beta tournament today. It went extremely well. I am documenting the building of a brand from scratch, one that millions of millions and millions of people will know and so it's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm going to speak to my 85 year old self right now because he's gonna be watching this fun days.

You love the dirt. You're from the dirt I Hope you're at a flea market right now in the VR environment. Finding a three dollar item from B-flash to sell nine dollars on whatever is the eBay of the day I Know you won't change. Say to you, don't change, They don't know you You're not thinking I'm proud of you.
