ever go pro level.
Do you think Jake could compete with you or do you think you're way better?
And Jake Paul, of course.
I think Jake could compete with me.
I think it'd actually be a great fight.
I think he's a good fighter.
I respect his technique and I think his coach Larry Wade has a good, good formula they're putting together over there.
But I definitely think that opponent-wise still the skill, I think that would be a great battle.
Yeah, are you the same weight class as him or?
I am.
Same weight class, cruiser weight.

And here's the episode.
Ladies and gentlemen, Justin Michael Lewis, aka DJ JLU in the building.
My man, how's it going?
Let's go.
Let's go.
What's going on, Sean?
How you doing?
Good, man.
And you live out here now, right?
I do.
I do.
I live out here, but I'm also bi-coastal.
I'm back and forth between the east and the west coast.
So I like to spend at least two weeks here in Vegas out in a month.
Nice.
DJing and your boxing, though.
Yeah, yeah, the boxing is taking off.
I just won states.
Going to take home Golden Gloves title this year for sure.
Damn.
So you won States.
Which state was that in?
Nevada.
Holy crap.
So you're nice, bro.
Yeah.
What's your record?
Yep.
I'm undefeated right now.
Geez.
Yeah, undefeated.
I plan on actually going out for the Olympic trial team as well.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's crazy, bro.
Yep, yep.
So do you think your reach just because you're lengthy, right?
Yeah, I'm a lengthier guy.
Long reach.
I would say I've been compared to Tommy Hearns.
I also like my build because I have more of a Floyd and a Tyson build at the same time.
So I'm quick, but I'm also able to get out of there if I need to.
Right.
So, yeah.
That's dope, dude.
What do you think about these YouTube boxers?
You think any of them are pretty good?
I think they're great.
I think they're good, but I definitely see improvement.
I think that if they're not serious about it, like how Jake and Logan are doing it, then they're just kind of going to get dumped into the amateur class and they won't ever go pro level do you think jay could compete with you or do you think you're way better in jake paul of course i think jay could compete with me i think it'd actually be a great fight i think he's a good fighter i respect his his technique and i think his coach larry wade has a good good formula they're putting together over there but i definitely think that opponent-wise skill to skill i think that would be a great battle yeah are you the same weight class as him or i am same weight class cruiser weight uh actually i wouldn't mind that fight i wouldn't mind fighting jake paul that bag wouldn't be too bad it wouldn't be too bad for the both of us.
You know, I think we both have a unique fan base that we could bring to the table.
I think his fans definitely compliment my fans, and I think we definitely could really make something happen there.
That's a great point.
Yeah, that would be crazy.
Were you DJing first or boxing first?
I was DJing first.
Okay.
So how long were you doing that?
Yeah, 18 years.
Going on my 19th year now.
Damn.
So how old were you when you started that?
12.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
Did your parents do it or how did you get influenced at such a young age to DJ?
Weird experience.
My graduation graduation party in eighth grade, my mother booked my barber who happened to be a DJ.
He came over with all the equipment.
I just kind of fell in love right from there.
Wow.
Yeah.
He let me kind of play around with the turntables in between, I guess, his sets just to kind of just learn the equipment.
And from there, I ended up going ahead and cutting grass at that time to buy my own equipment.
I went to a high school that allowed us to be on the computers during a certain break period.
And I bought my stuff right on eBay with a
prepaid Walmart
Walmart card I had bought
with my cutting the grass money.
So yeah.
Good old eBay, man.
You got some humble beginnings, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Cutting grass.
I used to cut my grass for 20 bucks.
And that was a lot back then as a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
$20 got you far, man.
I used to make that shit last for weeks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember sitting outside the Best Buy.
We had a Best Buy where I was, where I used to grow up.
And we used to wait out there for CD releases.
I don't know if you used to do that, but yeah, we used to wait outside for like the artists.
They used to come in.
I was old school.
They used to come into the Best Buy and have a CD signing.
Really?
Yeah.
And then you would sell it.
And, well, I would actually
have a ton of CDs.
Yeah, I kept every single CD.
I have thousands.
Damn.
Yeah, I have never sold any CDs.
I just, they're too precious.
Some of them are probably worth a ton, too.
That'd be interesting.
I'd say maybe in a, maybe in about 10, 15 years, maybe.
Yeah.
We're still in the digital phase, but I think once people want to go back, they definitely want to get a signed copy of maybe the twist album or a signed copy of you know the ross album his first album you know i got a lot of those things yeah i saw that guy from snl i forget his name um he dates all the hot girls oh man is it pete davidson or something oh pete yeah pete is pete he pulls some bro yeah so he pulls but that's not even why i brought him up so he he bought those vhs tapes did you see those the rectangular ones that we used to watch growing up yeah and he just showed off his collection it's worth millions now because he stocked up on those during Blockbusters.
Yeah.
People are collecting those for some reason.
Man, yeah.
Hey, that's that's awesome.
Yeah, I used to love VHS, actually.
Yeah, I used to like them too.
I grew up with, I caught the tail end of VHS, but CDs were big.
DVDs.
I used to go to Blockbuster and Netflix and stuff back when they did them.
Yeah.
And now it's just so easy.
You just stream online.
You don't even need anything.
That's true.
I grew up watching my dad use the cassette tapes.
Yeah.
Did you ever see those?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I used to have the cassette in the car.
Yeah, same.
My dad's car had it.
So inefficient, bro.
I don't even know if you could skip songs on that.
Yeah.
The only thing you could do is rewind it back to the beginning, and then it would click.
It would be like, click, and then it would press the play button again.
And then if you mess up anywhere, like you could pause, stop it, but then it would have to go all the way back.
So inefficient, bro.
And even the DVDs, like if it got a scratch on it, the song would just not be the same.
Yeah.
I used to like spit on the DVD and wipe it with my shirt just to try and clean it.
I had the Windex.
Oh, you did the Wind Dex?
Yeah,
even the GameCube game.
You have to blow in those.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely had to blow in that, blow in the
disc.
Yeah.
Someone's going to clip this up in the wrong way.
That's so funny.
GameCube's my favorite system, I think, of all time.
Really?
Dude, that was lit.
Marshall Cash Brothers.
Really?
Yeah.
I was too young for that.
I never played that.
Really?
When did that come out?
The Dreamcast, I think, Dreamcast was
late 90s, early 2000s.
I was born in 97.
Really?
So GameCube was like the first, I think PS2 might have been before, but I don't remember.
But GameCube, I was in like elementary school.
Wow.
I'm 93.
Okay.
Yeah, so I'm 30.
So.
So you must have caught it like right when a new system came out for me and I didn't really play that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Cause when I got my Dreamcast, I was young.
I had to have been probably about five or six years old, seven, maybe, yeah.
No, definitely about five or six.
Damn.
Who made that one?
Was it Sony?
It was, it was Dreamcast, I think.
Oh, it's its own brand?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I never heard of that.
Because now you just hear about Xbox, PlayStation, PC.
Yeah, Dreamcast was sick.
They had Sonic.
I thought the graphics at that time on Dreamcast were just out of control.
Damn.
Yeah.
I never got into Sonic, dude.
Yeah.
I got into...
You ever play Spyro?
Spyro?
Yeah, that was dope.
Dude, that was lit.
Yeah.
Crash Bandicoot was decent.
Yeah, nothing beats old consoles, man.
I feel like the games these days are just, I don't know.
It's not the same.
Crash Bandicoot is actually a great game.
Classic, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you a Zelda fan?
I played a little Zelda.
Yeah.
I know growing up, like during high school days for us,
we used to play like Saints Row online.
Yeah, I heard about.
Man, Saints Row, we used to stay on that game forever.
We used to just, that and COD.
We used to hop on COD all the time and just play all day.
Yeah.
You know, like literally, we used to wake up right before school.
We used to play like three o'clock in the morning.
Damn, you'd wake up at three just to play?
Yeah, yeah.
I was a gamer.
That's the next level, though.
So you're probably nasty.
Yeah, I was nice.
I was nice.
My gamer tag actually is Brag J Boogie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got to look up your KBR and stuff.
Yeah.
That's impressive, dude.
3 a.m.
That's commitment.
You probably could have played professional with that regimen.
Yeah, well, I am actually.
It's funny that you said that.
I'm actually going to go out for the Tekken one.
What's up?
The Tekken tournament.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Damn.
I like playing Tekken, so I'm going going to go out for that tournament.
Is that a biggest at the esports arena?
You know what?
It won't be.
It's actually going to be in the UK.
Damn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to take it serious.
I just figured that.
I just thought about it actually a few weeks ago.
I was like, you know what?
I've been playing Tekken for a while, and I think I'm really good at it.
I'm good at like Mortar Kombat, those type of games.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Tekken's the biggest as far as like, I think, fighting games.
I feel that.
Those are fun to watch on YouTube.
I'll watch like the Super Smash Bros, like finals and stuff.
Yeah, and Super Smash Bros.
Even though I don't even play it, it's just like the strategy behind it, the mindset is interesting.
Yeah, that's a hard game to play for me personally.
It takes a certain player to play that game.
You got to be able to land six combos like casually.
Oh, yeah.
It's nuts.
The timing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your fingers are on like steroids.
Yeah.
Play that game.
You're like, click, click, click, click, click.
It's click, click, click.
What platform is Tekken on?
Is that its own arcade system or is it on a
was actually on the PlayStation or
yeah, PlayStation?
Okay.
I I got it.
I didn't know if it was the old school fighting games where you have the joystick and then.
Well, I mean, I used to play on Xbox a long time, you know, but PlayStation is what I like to play it on.
I like to play all fighting games now on PlayStation.
Okay.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Most people choose Xbox over PlayStation.
So when I first got my first Xbox, I used to play Dead or Alive.
And Dead or Alive was a dope game.
But to be honest with you,
PlayStation for me was always like Motor Kombat growing up.
That was before before I got the Xbox.
So my PS2, for instance, I remember playing Madden.
I mean, certain games I just never really adjusted to on Xbox.
I feel that.
Yeah.
Damn.
I didn't know we dive this much into video games, man.
This is fun.
Yeah.
Going back to the DJ stuff, I know you started, you said 14, right?
Yes.
When did you start making some decent money off it?
Yeah, actually, I'm sorry.
I started at 12.
Or 12, yeah.
Yeah, I started making decent money actually out the gate.
Really?
At 12?
Yeah, out the gate.
Because
after I got my DJ equipment, I practiced for like four months.
And then I got an internship with the radio station.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yep.
They had an internship available.
So I got an internship at 13.
I just turned 13 and I was interning there.
And then I decided to throw teen parties.
So I rented out this hall called Kayler Hall back where I'm back where I grew up in Columbia, Maryland.
And we used to pack that thing out, man.
About two, 300 kids every event.
And I was making like $3,000 to thousand dollars uh a weekend damn doing that as a teenager that's crazy money that's like making 20 g's right now yeah yeah and then what we did was we set up a stage in there so i used to have live performers it wasn't like you know it wasn't a big big setup but i had a few um a few of the live uh live performance like trust speakers and stuff.
It was it was a nice setup.
Nice, dude.
And I used to book all of the DC bands to come out.
I was actually probably the youngest promoter in my city at that time, which is, yeah, yeah.
Interesting story because back to back after that, from 13 to 15, I ended up winning Howard University's DJ battle on the AT β T stage.
And then I ended up winning at Camden Yards Baseball Stadium at the Orioles Stadium.
Best DJ in Baltimore.
Very nice, bro.
Yeah.
Wow.
And what goes into winning that?
Like, how do they judge that competition?
Yeah, yeah.
So Jason Durulo's DJ actually is
the host at that time,
Jay Murphy.
And he was the guy that was like, do you guys like this guy?
And the crowd would scream.
Based off the noise.
Based off the noise.
Got it.
Yeah.
And that's interesting to me because you can pick any song, right?
So why do you think the crowd liked you more than the other guy?
I just was a loose DJ.
I never really been a stiff DJ.
So whenever I DJ, I'd always like to combine different genres of music.
I would play like a rock record, then I mixed that with some orega.
And then I would do something different.
Like I would do like a, maybe a Britney Spears song mixed with Amigo's beat.
Like I've always done different stuff like that.
I've always done like mood designing.
That's what I used to call it where it would take you one place and then you would be like, oh, wow, I didn't, I didn't know that was coming.
Just kind of catch you off guard.
Cool.
I still DJ like that to this day.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because sometimes some DJs just do the same genre and it kind of gets repetitive and it does.
You want something new, right?
It does.
Yeah.
That's the reason why I'm able to DJ like sometimes six, seven hour sets and people are still dancing.
People are still trying to get more music because you're not stuck in the same genre the whole time.
You're actually
being transferred from one place to another based off of each song that I play.
And nothing is the same.
Yeah.
I don't have a playlist.
I don't do any playlist DJing.
Really?
I freestyle.
So every song is brand new.
I freestyle, yeah.
Holy crap.
That's dope because I feel like most people just show up with their playlists and then just play it.
Yeah, I got really lucky, too.
I mean, I've been collecting my music since 2006
and I haven't lost any files.
Wow.
That you're so organized.
I'm actually, yeah, this is the most impressive thing
on this whole interview.
So how do you keep all that organized?
It's funny, man, because I just dump it all into like different folders.
It says new music and I'll put like a date next to it.
Yeah.
But to be honest with you, I've gotten less organized over the years, but the but the crate that has like every song anyone ever wants, it's like I'm the DJ there where you can be like, hey, can you play a song?
I'm like, yeah.
That's cool, man.
It's cool that you can't.
I have everything saved.
Yeah.
Because now you can use AI to just scan through it and, you know, figure some that would be sick, too.
Hey, AI, play like DJ J-Lou right now.
Play some DJ J-Lou from 2008.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mix like him.
Mix like DJ J-Lou in 2012.
Yeah.
And
I don't know.
You can even...
Man, that would be sick, wouldn't it?
It would.
It's coming.
It's right there.
Hey, don't take our ideas.
You could probably do it now if you throw it into ChatGBT, honestly.
Yeah, that would be crazy.
I wouldn't be surprised, dude.
But yeah, you've made it.
Wow.
So almost 20 years in the DJ space.
I feel like most DJs don't make it that long.
Yeah, because I mean, you know, you have to maintain it too.
You know, people's brands get burnt out.
Yeah.
I think for some reason,
I've been an original kind of pioneer modern day DJ for a long time.
And I'm just now finally starting to see some sort of benefits from it.
Because
DJing can be one of those things where you can kind of go down the radio, the radio path, get stuck in radio.
You can go down the tour DJ path and get stuck as an artist DJ and never build your brand.
So when I look at someone like Khaled, I respect DJ Khaled because he built his brand off of being an original pioneer business guy versus just being a DJ.
You know, he looked at it as a business and said, you know, I can form my record label.
I can do this.
And then he forms monicures and slogans around it
and really blows it up.
And I feel like my brand is one of those brands where it holds its own weight similar to Khaled.
And
at the end of the day, like I respect Khaled.
So even if it was like a situation where it's, hey, DJ J Lou, you need to sign with we the best.
I would be down to sign with we the best because I feel like
I respect what he says when he says win with us or watch us win.
Because it is, it is a, it is a, it is a comp, a competition at the end of the day.
And, and we're used to winning, and I'm used to winning.
So I think that makes makes sense.
I love that.
No, you're so right.
Because when you think about DJs, Khaled's like the first one that comes to mind, right?
Yeah, I'd say him and then Steve Aoki.
Yeah, and they did their own thing, they weren't signed to like a Tory DJ, they don't have or Steve does have a residency, but a lot of DJs go that residency route in Vegas, too.
Yeah, yeah, and the residency route, I think, modern-day times is kind of it's kind of dangerous.
The reason why is because
people are so used to getting new, the new thing.
If I see you four times a month,
am i really gaining of gaining more fans or am i kind of just burning my fans out
so i i've stayed in the game this long because i have not had the consistency wow and some people don't like having like people have been following me since day one have been following me this long because i've i've been i've been consistent inconsistently yeah that is interesting i never thought of it that way but you're right because if i am going i don't go to clubs but if i was and i saw the same guy there every week i'd be like oh i'm not going like it's the same yeah it doesn't make it special anymore for you to really now tiestos david getdas
afro jacks those are great guys those are people that i actually like have some sort of like connection to
um
i just feel like they're the way that they play is very new every time they come to vegas it's a new set so i like that but For the regular guys that I see that DJ normally, they play the same set every single time.
Oh, yeah.
So bored.
Yeah.
So for the first three, four hours, it's like, okay, I already know after he plays ludicrous, back that at, or ludicrous move, she's going to play juvenile, back that up now.
You know, it's like the same thing.
It's like, oh, here it comes.
Absolutely.
Get ready, girls.
All right, guys, we're going to do a quick outfit swap.
You got something prepared for us.
I do.
I have something special.
Stay tuned.
Yeah.
Peace.

This is his brand.
Nice.
So a New York-based artist.
I'm really big in art.
So, yeah, I support a lot of street artists.
I feel like.
Definitely.
Basquiat.
I'm a big art person.
My friend has the biggest Basquiat collection in the world.
Get out of here.
Yeah, it's nuts, dude.
Oh, my God.
I'm going to shoot a music video on there.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Yeah, I have to ask him.
It goes up like 10, 15% every year.
It's like the best investment ever.
Yeah.
Crazy story.
I don't know if he wants to be telling it actually, but
this girl had like a huge collection, but no one knew if it was real, basically.
Wow.
So he took a chance and bought it all for like super cheap.
And then he hired FBI forensic analysts to like see if they could find evidence that Bowski outpainted these with fingerprints.
Wow.
And they found it, confirmed it all.
Wow.
All the paintings were crazy.
Yeah.
And they were at like, the girl was selling them like super cheap.
Wow.
Because she didn't know if they were real.
Wow.
She didn't know.
So.
That's awesome, though.
Pretty nuts, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, it happens.
You know, his story was wild.
So, yeah.
He died super young, right?
Yeah, drugs.
Yeah.
Yeah, unfortunately.
But, yeah, that makes perfect sense, though.
You know, hey, his collection was everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Any other artists you have pieces of or you really like?
I'm a big fan of Dolly
as well.
I like Picasso.
I like some Rembrandts.
Who else?
Andy Warhol, of course.
Classic.
Definitely.
I like Larry Gagoshin's Museum.
I like his gallery.
I like Jeff Coombs.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm an art person.
There's some dope art.
Monopoly has a story in the wind, I think.
Alec Monopoly.
Yeah, yeah.
I actually almost bought one of Alex's.
Yeah.
That's dope.
Yeah.
I went into that gallery.
I think it's Eden Gallery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He had a bunch of events during Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Super Bowl was nuts, bro.
I saw you a few times.
I mean, that was the best networking.
That was my first time going to Super Bowl.
Yes.
Dude, the networking was insane.
I got like 30 podcasts that week.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, that celebrity poker game we were at was sick.
Wow.
I met so many cool people there.
Yeah.
You're big on networking, I noticed.
Absolutely.
Huge.
I've seen you at a few events.
So what got you into that?
Networking for me has always been a way for me to not only help other people, but also to increase my reach.
I feel like if I'm not able to add value to someone, then it's really no point in me to network with them.
So I really only network with people I feel like I can add value to.
And those are the people I usually already know I'm going to meet when I get there.
Everyone else in between, when I during that process of networking, I kind of just,
it's like, hey, you know, yeah, follow me on Instagram.
Yeah.
You know, take my number.
But the people that I really want to meet, I already have a game plan of how I'm add value before I even talk to them.
That's so cool.
So you go in there with a strategic plan rather than just show up and try to wing it.
Yeah.
I would say that my style comes off a little random just because I have so many different things that are posted at one time over social media through my social media.
But I would say that everything is very organized, just very, um, just kind of strategically organized in a kind of a little bit of a weird, weird way.
Yeah, that makes sense.
No, I'm just remembering how we met and yeah, that makes total sense.
Yeah.
What did you think of Russ exposing music labels recently on Andrew Schultz podcast?
I think he's right.
Yeah, I think Russ has been right for a very long time.
And I think he's one of our greatest artists right now for the modern day.
Russ is an amazing artist.
Yeah,
Russ is exposing what has needed to be exposed for a very long time.
And he's just telling the truth to people that really need to know the information.
Yeah, I actually cheer for him because he never signed to a label.
He was always the underdog.
His music's actually fire.
It's fire, man.
And I think his music has substance, right?
Because a lot of these rappers, I mean, they grew up in a totally different lifestyle.
I mean, I can't relate at all.
You know what I'm talking about?
I haven't pulled my chain out.
Oh, God
We're going to talk about, you know what I'm saying?
Pull my chain out.
Got the drip.
I saw the bracelet too on your arm.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Hey,
can we get the fire extinguisher?
I think
you could wear that in Vegas, but not LA.
No, no.
Well, actually, actually, I don't even really go out 2-2-fly anymore because of that.
I remember I used to be able to wear my chain out.
People used to look at me and be like, big old fake chain.
Now I go out, people try and touch my chain.
I'm like, oh,
no, don't do it.
Please don't do it.
You wear a watch these days?
You're a target.
Oh, hey, and they almost stole my Apple Watch in the Apple store, man.
I said, Jesus Christ, it's getting crazy out here.
You're a big Apple fan.
I saw you tried the new Vision Pro.
How was that?
Oh, man.
The Vision Pros are excellent.
I actually ordered a pair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't like the Oculus.
So how much better is it compared to the?
Did you try the Oculus?
Yeah, I did.
I tried everything.
Yeah, they let me do the whole thing.
I think it's spot on, man.
I think they're going to make a lot of money off the product because
when you're on the baseball field or on the sidelines of a basketball game from your living room,
you're looking at the game like as if it's real time.
That's crazy.
So you were literally watching a game.
I was watching a baseball game, yeah, in real time.
Like
on the field.
No way.
And can you move?
You can't.
Well, I'm sure they're going to have probably different viewpoints on the field.
But from the view that I was sitting at, I was like on the grass, like in the field.
No way.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Like right behind second to second plate.
And they'll probably add a pitcher point of view so you can act like you're pitching too.
Probably.
Yeah.
And I think that's going to just change the game.
I mean, I think it'll lower attendance.
For sure.
It'll definitely lower attendance.
The clarity, the game speed, everything felt like I was in real time.
I agree because when I go to games, I'd rather watch it from TV most of the times.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But now with this, it's not even close.
Oh, it puts you right on the field.
Yeah, that's super dope.
You're right on the field.
You feel like you're right in there.
And now they're going to have the multi-directional track pads so you can actually move wherever you're at.
You know what's crazy?
I already know what they're going to do.
They're going to embed cameras into the NFL guys' helmets so that when you're wearing these goggles, you're going to be able to follow the players on the field.
I already know what they're getting ready to do.
That's crazy.
I already know what they're getting ready to do because you can do it with that.
And then it'll be a real experience instead of just sitting there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's that's true, VR, right there.
Like, pay me Apple.
Pay me Apple.
I got worried because VR, I feel like people were too quick with it and it got overhyped.
But now with this Vision Pro, it's starting to seem like it's legit.
It's legit.
Because before the quality was terrible on the Oculus and I tried a few others.
There's a sandbox VR inside the Venetian.
Oh, yeah, that's nowhere close to that.
Yeah, the quality was.
But I mean, it was fun, but like you could tell it's fake.
Yeah, yeah.
But when you feel like you're actually there, that's when things start to get interesting, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This one, this one is next level.
It's 8K when you're watching.
Sam, 8K?
Yeah, it goes up to 8K.
Crap.
I didn't even know they were up there.
The immersive experience.
Wow.
Because YouTube's at 4K, I think.
360-degree view.
So, like,
say you want to be in Iceland.
You can drop yourself in Iceland, and then you can just go rotate 360 degrees as if you were in Iceland.
Dude.
And all of the sounds of nature are popping into your, it sounds like you're right there.
So teleportation is here now.
Yeah.
When you look up in the sky, you see the sky.
When you look down, you see just dirt, like if you were in Iceland.
Nothing is, you're not going to see your shoes.
Everything is immersed.
Wow.
So tourism's going to be, going to be hit from this.
I think everything is going to be hit with this.
This is like, I told the guy, I was like, hey.
When I get this, I'm not going to want to travel anymore because you can go to India, you can go to Dubai, you go.
And what's going to stop Apple from putting a viewpoint in every single city around the whole world so that you can just pop these goggles on and say, you know what, I just feel like going to Dubai today.
Bloop, right there.
Okay, I want to go here.
They already got Apple Maps, Google Maps.
Drop yourself right there.
That's actually insane.
The next thing they'll have to do is be able to transport food from the country to you.
And that's crazy.
Yeah, you really won't have to leave after that point.
Oh, man.
It's coming.
I think they mastered this.
This is the biggest hurdle, I think, to get there.
Yeah.
I think they mastered it perfectly.
That movie, Ready Player One, seems like every year we get closer and closer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even with DJs, I mean, it's going to replace us.
Wow.
I'll be honest.
Yeah.
I'll say that very confidently.
It's It's going to replace the modern day DJ
because with AI, the goggles, everything like that, you can just control your turntables from left to right with your hands.
You don't really need to bring any equipment.
You can probably Bluetooth it right to whatever it is.
It's just going to change the game.
It's a very disruptive piece of technology that is definitely going to...
be here for a while and just keep advancing.
Yeah, they're probably already better than certain DJs and they'll just keep getting better and better.
That's how it works.
For sure.
I mean, you could probably tell AI, hey, I want to hear a DJ set from Jazzy Jeff, Kit Capri, and Funk Flex with all their styles blended together every three songs at a 120 beats per minute through 80 to
80 beats per minute for the first 15 minutes.
They can get really intricate with it.
Yeah.
And then it'll do it.
You'll be like, oh, wow, dad, he's scratching more.
Oh, wow.
I guess we're in the Kit Capri thing.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
They're blending more.
Okay.
I see we're in the, you know, the flex thing okay oh wow they're doing mashups and scratches and back spins they're in the jazzy phase
so i think ai can handle it to the point to where if you're a good dj probably master your style and then just have ai do it for you super crazy is that why you're getting into boxing because ai can't replace that right now ai ai will never replace boxing but actually it will it will robots will yeah i've seen videos about that yeah there's one that could shoot nba threes from half court swish it every time dude i'm gonna tell you something you know you know what's going to be better than watching people beat up other people?
Beating up a robot.
It's funny, but it's true.
People would love to see a robot named whatever come up against a human and actually fight a human being.
Oh, watch up.
That's what people are going towards, bro.
I'm telling you, like, the future is here.
All the stuff that we're used to seeing is so old school that it's like, it's going to be replaced.
I could see that, man.
Yeah, they're already NBA snipers, man.
Swish it every time from half court.
So they could probably do that with boxing, too.
Yeah, they can simulate all this stuff.
If they had robot football teams, robot basketball teams, and have players play at a certain intensity level, like the video games, people would be more into that than watching people get injured, get hurt.
Yeah.
You know, I just being honest with you, which is why we're even going into going medical here.
We're going into superhuman phase where they're going to be able to enhance your growth organically by adding animal pro animals organs to the human body so that you can have, you know, better stanum, bigger muscles, you know, all these different things, better support on your ankles, just replacing your bones with animal bones.
They're already thinking about doing that stuff to create the experience of having the superhuman.
Yeah, I heard they're using 3D printers and they're also using pig organs, I think, and seeing if they can transport those into human bodies right now.
Yeah, and I'm confident they can.
Eventually, probably, right?
Yeah.
Because it's just an organ if they could figure out how to recreate it.
It's just a matter of will it sync with your body?
Because that's the problem with organ transplants.
Some of them don't really sync with your body, right?
Yeah, and I mean, I think Elon right now is doing some stuff with Neuralink, trying to figure out, you know, what's going on with that.
But I think Neuralink is going to be a disruptive piece of technology too, to be able to cure blindness, to be able to.
cure people that are paralyzed just from having a chip implanted into your brain.
Yeah, I saw that.
I think that's incredible.
Next level, dude.
Because before you couldn't cure paralysis or certain medical conditions, but now it seems like it's getting closer to being possible.
Yeah, because it's just an auto response, to be honest with you.
I think our body shuts off naturally because of pain, but with this product, I think it's just kind of telling it like, hey, you're not really hurt.
Are you going to get one?
I probably would, low-key.
I probably would get one implanted.
They just did the first human like a month ago.
Yeah, I probably would try it out.
The reason why is because I feel like, why would you risk not having it now versus paying millions of dollars of even having access to it later?
Well, knowing him, he'll find a way to mass market it.
But yeah, that does make sense.
I don't think I'd get it yet just because I want to see what happens to this first dude.
Shout out to whoever that is.
That guy's got balls being the first one.
But we'll see what happens, right?
Yeah, I mean, they've been training monkeys with it forever.
I saw that, yeah.
But it's just a matter of will that translate to humans.
That's true.
That's true.
That's a good point.
That's a really good point.
Yeah.
Dude, it's been fun, man.
Anything you want to promote or close off with?
Yeah, I would say that
everybody out there has been supporting my brand.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you to everybody that's been just, I would just say, just sending all these messages and all these different gifts over the holidays.
That's definitely appreciated.
And I just look forward to giving you guys more impactful content throughout the year into the near future.
And we'll see you on the other side.
Boom, love it.
Thanks for coming on, brother.
Thanks for watching, guys.
As always, see you tomorrow.
Thanks, Sean.
