Jordan Belfort

Yeah.

One of my first trips with the guys was when James was interviewing Jordan Belfort.

If you've ever seen The Wolf of Wall Street.

His ex has

With J- Jason Balfour? Y- you know Jason Balfour, the guy on Wall Street who lives down here in Miami.

Jo- yeah, Jordan.

Jordan Belfort, yeah.

Or, uh, Jordan Belfort.

Yeah.

Yeah.

know

what Jordan Belfort is right.

We're going to rattle some cages.

Yeah.

Do you want me to just say what...

Yeah, explain who Jordan Belfort is first.

Jordan Belfort is the man who The Wolf of Wall Street is about and therefore the idol of every 15-year-old boy who hasn't yet grown up to realise that the film...

You're not supposed to like Jordan Belfort in the film.

Well, it's like, did any of you watch the second half of that film? No, I actually think they

don't.

And his whole thing is like, sell me this pen.

And it's like, he does seminars everywhere.

It, it, it, it's got like a tonal quality where it looks like something that was filmed for like late night Cinemax in the nineties, but it just happens to be a bunch of kids.

And like, You guys know the connection to Jordan Belfort, right? Like that's...

No.

Yeah.

I have no idea which one, but I did know about this one.

This one also has a wild producer story.

I mean, it's not Jordan Belfort, but you guys know about the Korean guy? No.

Okay, so now I'm bummed that I didn't remember his name.

And I think that that's another thing.

We've had this conversation many times in the podcast, especially with the movies of Scorsese, because they seem to be accused of this a lot of glorifying the mob lifestyle in Goodfellas or the lifestyle of Jordan Belfort in Wolf of Wall Street.

And you can't really watch those movies, I don't think, and come away with this idea that they're really being celebrated and glorified.

They're just very frank portrayals of these people and their lives are the lesson.

Wolf of Wall Street and here's the thing and this is like an embarrassing fact about me is like when I need to like really lock in this is not the message that of the Wolf of Wall Street is trying to convey but I think it is something that gets fallen victim to but when I really need to lock into something I'm like you should watch the Wolf of Wall Street for like Or like, or when I'm like doing cardio and I like can't like motivate myself because I'm like a competitive, I do competitive stuff.

I'm like, guess I have to throw on Jordan Belford and really like lock in here.

So that's what I do, which is like.

And like, generally in my heart, I'm like very like anti-capitalist, like super left, super, there's something that like, I can't, I like, it makes me like lock it and I'm like, time to go.
