I'm super excited to hang out with him. He's one of my good friends and also he means a lot. No, no, no. It's Bienvena Migo. Please welcome the homie Roberto Carvajal a.k. El Vero. De Mariscos el Vero. Bro, I'm so glad you're with us. You have such an inspirational story, bro. De Migrante Latino literally started from the bottom. Now we're here. Literally that story, bro. So thank you for being with us, Carran. I appreciate it, man. Thanks for having me. And I'm super grateful for you, bro, because when my dad, he was living in his last month, right, before passing away due to cancer and graduating to heaven, he loved after chemotherapy. He loved going to your Mariscos spot. Mariscos el Vero. And you don't understand how happy. I mean, you saw him. And he was like, "No, I don't know where he is." And he was like, "No, I don't know where he is. I don't know where he is." And he would send me to go low-key, go get your tacos. Yeah, for him, it was great. Yeah, so it was easy to love, man. He was a loveable guy. He was easy to love. He was a loveable guy. He was a loveable guy, and he was a loveable guy. He was a loveable guy, and he was a loveable guy. He was a loveable guy, and he was a loveable guy. Wow. I remember he would come in, and I would get phone calls like, "Hey, you know, there's some guy here that wants tacos in chilado, but without the in chilado." No, we'll just make it. That's not how it comes up. Just make it from him. And then I knew it was your dad. Yeah. You better make it every time you show someone. No. Just make it from him every time. He was always happy. Thank you for that love, bro. I want to get to your story, man, because there's a lot of people right now that are probably listening to have some type of dream. They don't know how to get started. Now, your business, you're to the point where you're franchising Mariscos El Wero, but it didn't start there. You literally started selling Mariscos inside a gas station. Liquor store, actually. Liquor store. What? Not even gas station. Liquor store. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, one of my favorite takerias of all time is that a redwood city in Northern California, literally inside a gas station. Wow. So you pull up, be like, hey, give me 20 on number five. It was amazing, bro. But that grind. So how did that begin, bro? How did you get your spot inside a liquor store? And then I want you to share with our listeners in case they want to start a business. You know, how did that develop into having your own actual restaurant? Now, franchising it to others. Yeah. But the liquor store part, actually, was second part of my failure. So I had already tried it before. And I tried it back in 2010. And I failed miserably at it, miserably. I just opened up a restaurant. And I gave it my all. And a year later-- [SPEAKING SPANISH] [LAUGHTER] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't be afraid. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [LAUGHTER] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [LAUGHTER] So I started there. And a year later, I had to close it. Wow. I just shut it down. It just didn't work out for me. I think the lack of experience, the lack of determination, maybe, too. Wow. Because I kind of wanted it to be successful right away. Over night success, yeah, and it didn't happen. So it didn't happen. And I just gave up and ended up selling it. Because you had a good job, bro. I had a good job. I had a job. I had a-- Well, when I opened up the liquor, I had a job. I was making 80 grand a year. I mean, 10 years ago, that was great. Yeah. They were pretty good. And it was secured money. It was secure. Like a good employer, good thing you were married at that time. Married at the time. Now you're a single dad. I had a two-year-old daughter, three-year-old daughter back in the day. So I needed the health benefits. I needed everything. And so fast forward from that restaurant to the liquor store. Here I am, trying it again, and my wife at the time was like, ah, that's local. Like, what the hell are you doing? You have a great job. You have benefits. You have everything we have a daughter. I'm like, oh, my god. Avices, the biggest haters is your own high enough. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] It's not maybe that. I think they're just used to a certain lifestyle. It's OK. You can say where? [LAUGHTER] Nobody knows her name unless you want to call her out. You're giving me trouble. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Where they don't support your dreams. But on the flip side, at least for me, my wife has encouraged and supported and really allowed me to get to this point in my career. So at that time, your wife is telling you, me, they're local. You have a good job. We got benefits. You got a daughter now. Leave that dream of having your own restaurant in the past. More good to everything. I had a great life. I had a dog. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I had no reason to do this. But that thing inside me said, no, I've got to try it again. I've got to try it again. So this time, I did it, but I did it a little more calculated. So I went into a liquor store, where there was a deli in the back. It was closed. And I went in there, and I just asked the guy, like, hey, are you leasing out the back? Yeah, for sandwiches, I'm like, can I sell seafood? He's all seafood. And then these guys are Egyptian. And they don't sell any of that stuff, right? So they go, yeah, because all they cared was the money, like, hey, yeah, sure. Pay the rent, we're good. And then look, it gets us. So I started doing that. So I would work from Monday through Saturday. But on Friday nights, no Thursday nights, I would get home, I'd peel shrimp, and get ready for it to sell on Friday evenings, and Saturday, and Sunday. Because during the day, you had your full-time job. Yeah, so I was working full-time. So I was working seven days a week, OK? So you started your side hustle without leaving your main job. Your main job kind of that. And again, that comes with the experience. Because before, I left the job for a restaurant, and I just failed miserably, and I ended up in debt. And just on this Saturday night. And did you feel that you having that second, or your first job, your money-maker, let's say, did that help you with your business? Like, funding, being able to fund it, right? Yeah, I mean, it wasn't a lot of funding, because it was just a liquor store. So I literally bought four pounds of shrimp, and I made it, and I just started selling this every day, right? So it wasn't a big, big investment, right? Everybody think, oh, how do you start? You start, well, I started like that. I got lucky I just started like that. But the kicker was when that started kind of taking off a little bit, OK? So I started, I started, and it started taking off. I started having problems everywhere. I started having problems at work. I started having problems at home. It just-- everything's pulling me every single which way to it. And I think at that point is where more people just give up, and just break down and say, OK, well, I got to stick with the family, or I got to stick with this. But right in that moment, when you're hitting that moment where you're breaking down, I believe that's when God has you closest to your breakthrough. I think so. And it's like, do you have faith? Yes. Because the faith in that leap and that jump is, things don't look good, but that's what faith does. It's jumping and trusting in God and in your skills that things will work out. So everything's falling apart in that moment. What helps you push through? I got fired. I got my day job. Or my day job, yeah. Blessing in disguise. Yeah, I got fired. I ended up getting fired because I wasn't paying too much attention to the job anymore. I was late because at this point, I think we're about a year in now. At this point, the business at the liquor store is taking off. So I'm busy now I'm this, and I'm literally at work, and I'm placing orders for stuff. I'm doing stuff for my business at my job. So anyways, they had enough of that. Yeah, I think that was about a year, two and a half from the liquor store. I was never home. I was seven days a week. I was from 9 a.m. to like 10 p.m. I was at the liquor store. Now, what do you have to say about that, bro, because I think a lot of dudes listening right now can relate to you saying, hey, I'm trying to give my family, my wife a better future, build our own business, but that's going to take the sacrifice of me maybe not being at home as much. But then I understand the partner's side as well and the child saying, I just want my dad. I just want my husband. I just want my wife. How looking back at it, right? I mean, you're blessed now. You're an amazing single dad. How do you think you could have maybe done things differently to where maybe you could have saved your family or kept it together? And also it's not all on you. I mean, she's got to understand it on her end too, right? Would you have done anything differently? Yeah, there's a lot. I mean, looking back, there's a lot I could have done different. But in the moment, you're just focused and focused. So when you have somebody telling you, you're never home, you never this, you kind of shut it out. And you say, I'm bothering me, I'm tired and I'm focusing on work. I'm doing this. You know, like, I don't hear some money. We're doing great. Leave me alone. And I think that's a mistake. I think a lot of guys fall into that when that's happening. So retrospect, if I were to do it over, I would say maybe more communication, kind of talk it over a little more, involve her more in what everything we're doing. I think it probably would have saved the relationship a little bit. I mean, can you get us all dirty? I mean, you've got to lose a lot more than I do, you've got to lose a lot. You've got to lose another way. Cut it. Don't get me in trouble a lot. Coming up next, Armano.

You talk about how you feel like everything else is falling apart. You get fired from your day job. Things aren't working out at home. You get separated from your ex-wife. And then on top of that, you got your business at the liquor store. What is finally that breakthrough moment for you where you go from having your business in the back of a liquor store to having your own actual restaurant? Remember that part where I got fired from my job? The day job, yeah. Very similar to that. So where I was renting, about a year or two and a half, right after my split up and everything, business was good. My home life was crap, but business was good. So I would come home and the house was empty because she left with a baby. So I come home and I'm like, I hate it going home, right? What is that like, bro? Because I don't think we talk about this enough. We talk a lot about single moms, but we don't talk about the effect for single dads because most of the time the kids are going to go with the mom. So we don't talk about that moment where all of a sudden you come home to nobody. How would you express that moment and what helped you through that? That's one of the worst times in my life. That's a very low point. I've never considered anything doing to myself, but at a certain point when I was going through that I kind of felt like, you know what, screw this, let's just end it. I didn't think about it too much, but it did cross my mind. It popped up. Absolutely. Yeah. Because it sucks. You go from a life where you come home and my little daughter is like, oh, it's kind of like when you come home, it's great. Every time I see that, I'm like, oh my God, I miss that. And I just, I come home and there's nobody there. You know, Trasta, Cecio, that I left in the morning and still there. It was like, it was there, not even the dog, it's like, oh, my geez. You know what, all that is going on. The only thing that's keeping me up is that the business is doing great. Okay. So, so now I have, at this point I have a line out the door from the liquor store. I'm selling more than the liquor store selling. Everybody's lined up for me. For the Mariscos. Yeah. Wow. So it's doing great. So that, that's happening. I feel like, okay, you know, at least I have this. I show up. I remember the day January 6th, 2016, I think it is. So I show up there, dude, and the owner of the liquor store has this great idea that he could kick me out. Oh, no. Yeah. So, so he literally cuts my lease up and says, you know what, what? That's it. You're out. Wow. Your business is booming. They kick you out of the liquor store. Yeah. Before that, I could tell it was happening because, keep in mind, I've been there three years now. Right. And, and they start complaining about the onion smell, all they start complaining about the shrimp. I'm like, dude, I've been here three years, but now it's packed. They see the business. They saw the money. So, so since it's his liquor store and I didn't even know he couldn't, he couldn't sublease. So I had no legal grounds with the landlord at all. Oh, wow. So he just said, you're out. So I'm literally leaving and what saved me because I ended up suing him at the end and actually won. No way. Yeah. But what ended up saving me was the fact that I didn't leave and he called the cops. Why? So, so I had a police report showing that that he kicked me out. Literally. Yeah. Anyways, two days later, he has other people working there and, and trying to push the Ceviche bar, but they didn't know anything about Ceviche. That is wild. Literally try to copy. Yeah. So that a closed door turned into a trampoline for you to jump into owning your actual own restaurant. Yeah. So, so that's how it kind of pushed me to do something else. So like you said, God helps you in many ways. The while I was there, there was a customer that used to go there a lot, you own the trucking company and you would always tell me like, hey, you know, if you need help, if you need an investor with like your, your stuff is good, I want to, I want to help you. I'm like, we'll see one day. So when that happened, I ended up calling him. I remember we met at, at, at, what's the restaurant on Miguel's at a Miguel, in Corona, Mexican restaurant. Yeah. And, and, and we met there. We're sitting, we're talking and we just go back and forth and he goes, how much you need? Wow. And I gave him a number. He's, oh, you got it. Let's do it. Yeah. That's how you end up getting the Corona location. Wow. Wow. Wow. That's amazing. Have you ever seen that movie from Will Smith where he has a little boy and struggling? That one. So there's a scene where, where he finally gets it and he's coming out and he's kind of plotting himself. Yeah. That's how I felt walking away from that meeting. That was your break. The most like the best thing because I already had lost my job, my house, my, my, my family. Now I lost the only thing that was kind of keeping me up. But then this happened. I'm like, all right. Let's go. What a blessing, bro. And what message would you give to single parents, bro, sweet, especially single dads, carnal to help them get through that moment of coming home to the house being alone. Things aren't the same. But I'm not having them physically there every day. Like what would you say to them? Focus on the future, man. Focus on, on, on what you could provide later on. Well, what, who you're going to be for your daughter, for your, for your, for your son? Because while she was not there, my, my daughter, because that's what hurts the most, right? You're, you're dark. So she wasn't there. And I'm like, you know, I just wanted to give up on like, but then I'm thinking, okay, what about when she's 10? What about when she's 15? If I'm, if I'm out, you know, so I'm like, no, I'm going to be successful and I'm going to be a great dad to my daughter and I'm going to be there for whatever she needs. And that's kind of what pushed me to, to stay away from the bad image. Your perspective changed. Your motivation became I still need to be a great father and I want to provide for her and help her out in whatever way I can. So it's not the multi-war, say your Atlanta, even though you had a transition from being alone, all of a sudden, to living this life now. That's, that's bad. But I mean, anybody going through stuff like that, just push through it. It's not easier said than done, but of course, and a good community, you know, good community around you. I mean, to this day, like I'm, I'm, I'm home sometimes and I have old messages where, you know, my daughter would call me like, yeah, yeah, be in this puppy, like, I still kept those just to remind me, like, don't lose track, you know, you're, you're, you're focusing on work and stuff like that. Don't lose track. So to this day, I, I make it a point. I pick up my daughter every day from school, you know, I just, I'm, I'm there, everything, everything. I'm, I'm there. And you have an awesome relationship with her. Yeah. That is great. That is awesome. Yeah. [inaudible] Look what you're missing out on. [inaudible] [inaudible] Oh. [inaudible] [inaudible] What does she say? She tried to get back with you or what? Nah, nah. She moved on. We're good. We're good. We're good friends. Everybody's everybody gets along. And that's good that you guys can have that, you know, relationship and still raise your daughter. Co-parenting is huge. Not to be bitter, you know, but to be better for your kids. Yeah. And that's it. Because if you're still in competition with your ex, bro, it's only going to affect your kids. Not for your kids. You got to swallow your pride. You got to, you got to, you got to let go of a lot of stuff that bugs you. Yeah. For sure. Otherwise, it'll tear you up. Felicia is man. Thank you for opening up about that, bro. Honestly, I don't think that's spoken about enough. Yeah. You know, the single dad life and what they go through regardless of whose fault it was. You know, they still go through that carnal. Now you are franchising Mariscos el Wero. How does that happen? How can our listeners potentially sign up to have your business, which has been very successful. Yes. You know, the single dad life and what they go through, regardless of whose fault it was, you know, they still go through that carnal. Now you are franchising Mariscos el Wero. How does that happen? How can our listeners potentially sign up to have your business, which has been very successful, and how can they open up their own franchise, the Mariscos el Wero, with your recipes and all that? I don't know. I try to stay away from convincing people to do it. Yeah. Because I get a lot of people that come in and say, "I want to open up a restaurant. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that." And my first question is why? Why do you want to do that? Because it's demanding, dude. It's like insanely demanding. And then I tell them, like, look, I gave up so much for this. You know, do you really want to do that? Like, it's like, so that's when they kind of go, "Okay, so what's my other option?" You almost try to convince them not to do it. Yeah. Because then if they still want to, you know they are worthy of carrying Mariscos el Wero. Exactly. So I tell them that part, and then I give them, like, a second option. Okay, well, if you are going to do it, whether it's me, my brand or whoever, like, try to get something that's already done. It'll be easier for you. You know, you don't have to put all that legwork in the beginning. You don't have to stay away from your family for so long. It's a little bit easier. Because, you know, a franchise model, it comes in with managers and people that are going to train everybody already. That's great. So basically, you just, you know, write a check and the restaurant opens by itself. It's a pop-up band. And since it's already kind of popular, you know, you get customers right away. Versus you open up, you know, Mitchell's freakin' tacos. And... Tell us a bit. You never know how it's going to be. What's the best way to get a hold of you if people are interested in whether it is Maris Cosadouero or they want to start their own restaurant, because you don't understand how many people you meet just randomly, right? You go to Carneasada somewhere, Conos la Madalí, and Señora Cosinaví, and Rico. They really are restaurant. Everybody, right? Yeah. You should open a restaurant. You cook so good, so delicious. Like, if people just want to ask more questions about the process and the challenges, right? Where can they hit you up, bro? Where can they hit you up, bro? Or your Instagram? My Instagram. You can do my Instagram. You can do Maris Cosadou on Instagram. Maris Cosadouero, no underscore, no dada. At Maris Cosadouero. Yeah, on Instagram. Or you can do my personal one, too. It's Baja Vero. At Baja Vero. At Baja Vero. The Orlando de Baja. Let's take a look at some poquito before we wrap up the two races, Carneas. So my parents are also going to take us. My parents are for Zacatecas. Oral. I ended up learning the whole Ceviche thing in Baja, California. Right. It's a buddy of mine that has a puestasito by the beach and we used to go there forever. So just little by little, I'm like, this is my favorite place to go. And I still go to this day. I still know I think his mom still runs it. And you know, I go there and just everything that I learned, the techniques, how to cut the fish, how to marinate it, how to do this, because it's a little bit of a process. It's not just, you know, adding a bunch of sauces to it and there you go. You know, if that's the case, you could go by Cook Shrimp, our stator, brother, the shop. And what do you know why I stand by that bro? Because El Ceviche Pescado de Stées, bro, is like the most consistent and best that I've had, dude. Even Me Carnel Piolin loves it, you know, he loves it there. My whole family. Yeah. I brought you guys something. Okay. Good. I was getting to it. Did you bring something? No, but I'm saying is I've heard this and I didn't believe it until I started experiencing it. So, a few mariscos are not supposed to smell fishy. Good mariscos aren't supposed to have that extra potent like fish smell or ocean smell. You know what I'm saying? And it's true. You're Ceviche Oyamente Willem Pokito, but it's more like the Savoia and Hitamante, but it really doesn't smell like that. And that's how you know it's Calidad. Is that true? Yeah. I mean, you start fresh. You start with good product. You end with good product. You know, it's just simple, you know. But if you take something that's not good, whatever you do to it, it's not going to work. So you learn all your recitas from El Compa in Baja California in case you have the Baja California? In Tijuana. Playa Tijuana. Mariscos Colima. Oh, Playa. Sharato Mariscos Colima. Yeah, it's still there. Venga de Ibro. Well. So, yeah, that's what it is, but I mean, like anybody that wants to open up a restaurant, another thing that they need to pay attention to is can you hang on? Besides the whole, you know, you don't have time for your family and this and that, besides that, you also have the other side, which is a lot of people don't like your food and you got some critics that will tear you apart. Oh, online. Everywhere. And then yell for Google reviews, you know, Kim and Eddie love leaving reviews, you know, when they go on dates. Yeah. We just had one on the way here. A review. Yeah, I don't want that. I don't want that, right? I don't want that. Like, I had your food socks, like your drinks are horrible. Really? Everything. So, if you're willing... It's your ex, fool. Yeah. I'm sending the people. Seriously. So, when people ask, I want to open up a restaurant, I ask all those questions. Are you willing to, you know, sacrifice this, sacrifice that, but also take, you know, where you, where you, you slave over, you know, you're making a mole and it takes you half a day to make the mole and then you start selling it and people give it back like I didn't like it. Damn. I didn't do this. And all of that at the end, sometimes for free because sometimes you don't make any money. Mm. You barely break even or you're in debt the first couple of years. So, they're willing to go through all of that and still show up the next day and say, you know what, I got to do it again and go for it. But if you don't want it to do that, people don't realize that you quit your nine to five. Like when they're starting their business or starting their dream or whatever, going after it, they're quitting their nine to five to work 24/7. Exactly. That's one thing that people don't realize, you know, like the real work starts then when you decide to, you know, start that with a free. Like I said, I left an $80,000 job. I was making, selling, not even making, I was selling maybe $80 a day when I started. Wow. So you could imagine my wife like that. Yeah. No, but then that's, I guess like, you know, like, let her go because that's... No, but she's a flip, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm saying like, but I'm saying because she wasn't the right one. So that means like when you do meet the right one, she's going to be writing for each and be right there, you know, like if you haven't already found her, but you know what I mean? So... Have you found her? Yeah. I found somebody special. And they'll you like going to say each? Yeah. Yeah. She's down. Yeah. With the shrimp you sound, not the shrimp you had. Nah. Nah. It fits the woman that I'm thinking about. Cool. You've been talking. Get it. She's awesome. Yeah. They're all pretty cool. Yeah. But she's awesome. They're awesome. Yeah. Is it the one I met a long time ago? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, good. Sometimes you have to ask cause I was... Right. Well, that's not my fault. Dude, last year, Matila Patabi and got your Quando no way. So I, I'm at a radio conference, right? And I've, I know this guy, but just through social media, cause he works in a different radio market as a program director, right? Like, like a boss of a radio station. So I meet him. Keis de Quillotro. And I had met him once before at my friend Mingo's wedding in Punta Cana. But this was like 10 years ago. So I see him and he's like, "Ahh, Chewoy, Keis de Quillotro. What's up? Papa, Papa." And he's like, "Oh, see him. You know what? Miosposa. Papa, Papa, Ola." That's called La Titia. Yes. Ola La Titia. So good to see you again. She's like, "Excuse me?" And I said, "Yeah, the wedding. At Mingo's wedding." And she's like, "Oh, that's his ex." And I was like, "Boom, what you got?" So that's why I always ask like, "Yo, is it the one that I remember or not?" Like, "Yasica. Mio La Cosa?" Yeah. No, no. No, that's great, bro. But one last piece of advice before we wrap up, Karan, no matter what, our listeners trying to accomplish right now, whether it be like Kim finishing up their master's degree in business or open up their own business or, you know, or just get through this week. Maybe they're going through a difficult week. What helps you in those moments today? Like you said, it's a 24/7 job. You have multiple locations now. So they become like your children. If a manager, if an employee doesn't show up to work, you have to pull up. Everything falls on you as a business owner. What would be that advice for our listener right now, bro, to get them through those difficult moments, the breakdown before the breakthrough? Stay busy, dude. I mean, I stay busy with work. I've always been a workaholic. Like, I love to work, so I've got nothing to do. That's when I stress out. Like, my mom tells me, "Oh, you should take a vacation, you know, for three weeks, I'm like three weeks." You know? And like, in four days, I'll probably have a taco stand somewhere out there, dude. Like, I need to do something, you know? Yeah. Stay busy. Don't just sit there and... Stay busy. Focus on goals and try to push to them. Yeah, because sometimes when you just sit there and think about all the bad things that are happening to you. That's the worst. And you're just chilling at the pad or in your car. And that's what we say here on the show. Focus on your blessings and not your burdens, because if you just sit there with all your problems and burdens on repeat, that movie in your mind becomes reality. And it starts showing up in real life. So we got to continue repeating our blessings. And I'm glad that you always found a blessing even amongst the storm. In that situation was, "Hey, my daughter right now is only three to four years old. I need to be there for her when she's 10, 15, 20, et cetera." And that became your blessing, your motivation, you know? Yeah. So... I was just playing a kinsengana for like this. No, it's... No, it's... No, it's... Yeah, for sure. Let's go. Which is my glasses, bro. I appreciate you. Thank you for always being there for my family. Shout out to your brother, Eddie. The whole crew at the Chino Hills, Marisko said, "What, everybody's always been so amazing and such a blessing to us and that." Oh, before we roll out, we got to talk about Eddie's favorite cocktail. Oh, yeah. Pata de moula. Pata de moula. I heard it. It gave you some powers in the gym or something. It did. It did. I didn't even know it was meant for that. I just thought it looked really good from the Instagram. And they told me that it had some type of special power to it, right? It's a black oyster type of look at it. It's a clam. They call it "bloody clam." A bloody clam. Supposedly, it gets men ready to go if you know what I'm saying, better than Viagra. What? The Ponevian Fierme. And Eddie the Virgin, he's waiting till marriage to be intimate with his girlfriend, Kim. So tell him, "What is this? Where is it? Oh, my God." Oh, my God. - It's a little, I went to the gym. (laughing) - The gym? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) - Is your hands for the weights or? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Is it true or is it just like, it's not like a vitamin? It's got a lot of protein, a lot of vitamins, and I think it also has to do with how old you are. Because, you know, like I said, when I go down to Baja, I indulge and all that stuff to the patas, those tianas, they're all like, "Oh, yeah, you know, when I get home, boom." (speaking in foreign language) (laughing) - Oh, I'm out of sleep, leave me alone. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) - So similar to Eddie, honestly, what did you feel, bro? (speaking in foreign language) - Yeah, I'm not sure it's 'cause you guys told me but I felt a lot of energy to lift on weights, but I can't imagine if it's meant for the other stuff, you know, I actually brought you a little present, dude. - What did I say? (speaking in foreign language) - For later. (speaking in foreign language) - Can't breathe out there. (laughing) - Oh my God. - How are they hitting that gym? (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) - Bye. - Dude, it really is bloody. - Oh, they're also. - They, thank you, Edo. - Eddie, let's go, Edo. (speaking in foreign language) - Extra Potentia. - Yeah, sure. - Well, appreciate you, bro. - Thank you for hanging out with us. Anything you need to get in is for me, yeah, bro. - Yeah, thank you, bro. I appreciate it, man. That was awesome. - Let's go. - Thank you for having me. - Yeah. - Love you all.
