LOL, This Guy Shaved His Head For This?!

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]And I thought this was hysterical because I just was able to pause it right here. So this is a whole bunch of like, you know, adult video VHS's and this one says like salsa chicks and black D's. [music] Something very interesting that happens on this channel is that despite how much disagreement you think is in the air between us, most people who start to watch more of my videos or even do a light dive end up agreeing with most of my talking points. It's happened with so many creators already. When ADHD Dave wanted to see for himself and just hear it out of the horse's mouth, so to speak, instead of just take Kevin's [music] word for it, he ended up agreeing with most of the stuff that I put out. Even Carrie said the same thing. And then when uh Josh didn't like what I said in a particular video, and then when we were supposed to have some kind of a debate, he ended up making talking points that threw reselling under the bus harder than I ever could.

[00:01:02]When Second Chance Picker did a video on me, he ended up not addressing anything that I ever said, but rather tried to make other side talking points that had nothing to do with anything that I've ever said. with Flipping Ain't Easy made his talking points and his videos also not really having anything to do with what I said. It was a lack of understanding for what I do and it was mostly emotional arguments from the way that he feels than anything else. So, up until now, not really any rebuttals. So, today I wanted to share this particular video with you guys because uh I just found it recently. Okay? Nobody tagged me. Nobody showed me anything. And then, you know, I just found this a couple of weeks ago, but I had other videos to do, so I finally came back around to this one. So, I get it. The uh the horse head is the um what the godfather or something. And then he calls it like Mason Fleece. So, we're going to watch this one together. And uh let's see what happens.

[00:02:06]Hey, what's going on, Peggars and Peggies? Welcome back to the channel.

[00:02:09]I'm Mason Flea from Pegasus Scrge.

[00:02:13]Today, in a stunning turn of events, we're going to pump up replenishables while putting down resellers. I do this from a business perspective, mainly that it generates a lot of clicks by my being outrageous, and that's good for my business. Too many resellers focus on putting out content to help people without thinking of how to line their pockets.

[00:02:32]And that's just silly, right?

[00:02:36]So, today we're going to talk numbers.

[00:02:39]The foundation for any successful business is understanding numbers. And Mason Flee understands numbers. Mason Flee understands businesses. Too many resellers don't understand them. Right.

[00:02:53]And they foolishly think that buy low, sell high works and then if they keep doing it time and again, it's going to make them money. Well, I I I get that he's trying to make fun of me, but yeah, that's spot on with uh what he said, right? Too many resellers don't actually understand business. Because if you're just, you know, doing a lot of transactions, sure, that's an element of business, but what are you actually building here? That's the key difference. So, uh, I think he shaved his head for this one, right? Is that is that what he did?

[00:03:27]>> Cuz [snorts] his hair was different in >> Sure, it will on paper, but that's not how a real business works, right?

[00:03:33]>> That's commitment.

[00:03:34]>> Only an amateur focuses on the bottom line. You'll find some huers out there and you really need to watch out for these people that think if you make a dollar at a time and you start adding that up, you're going to go somewhere.

[00:03:47]Like arithmetic is really a business model. You cannot make $1 at a time combined. Like be for real. That's so much work to just make $1 at a time if you mean that in the literal sense because your overhead will eat you alive.

[00:04:04]>> No, no, no, no, no, no. You need something more than that. You need to get rich quick.

[00:04:11]>> And I will teach you how to do that using something really cool called replenishables. It's my model. It's my name.

[00:04:21]>> You think replenishables is a get-rich quick scheme? Because that's how you're trying to paint it. You have to give me money and you'll take part in the richest. And I'm going to explain a little later on how much money you can make from replenishables.

[00:04:34]Replenishables. Just let that roll off your tongue. Sounds way cooler than selling old magazines, doesn't it?

[00:04:42]Yeah. Right. So, I think we can all agree on that. I don't know. Have you ever been to a store and then they sold out and then you ask them when will you have more or when you will restock? I think that's what a replenishable is.

[00:04:58]Like they replenish it, right? Uh when you're at a supermarket and then they say, "Let me see if I could get more from the back." That's a replenishable.

[00:05:06]So, I I I'm I'm not too sure where this is going.

[00:05:10]>> Be sure to stay around to the end of the video where I'm going to give you a get-richquick replenishable that has made me, Mason Flee, mad money.

[00:05:20]Today, we are going to drill into the numbers that really matter. I think we all can agree, right, that reselling is an entry-level job that anyone can do.

[00:05:30]Just look around at the people trying to do it. If that doesn't prove my point, there are >> no it's it's an entry level because you start from just a couple of personal items that you own from home.

[00:05:43]Where else can you start in that fashion? That's really what it is.

[00:05:48]>> Are 8 billion people in the world. That means there are 8 billion people competing for the same business. The roughly $300 billion secondhand trade.

[00:06:01]What about all the people that counts in like all of the poorer countries that don't have access to anything? How does that make any sense? Like eight Okay, I get it. He's He's trying to make a I I wonder when he's going to get into something that bites 300 billion divided by 8 billion means each person can earn $37.50.

[00:06:24]And that's before expenses. So, what's the bottom line? 25 bucks, right? Yeah.

[00:06:29]You know, because things like site fees, packing materials, mileage, and the rest are all costs, right? And that's not even counting where you subsidize that $25 by owning a house and putting stuff in it. Houses should be empty. That's really what it comes down to. You should just have vast empty houses. You shouldn't have stuff in them, right? I think we can all agree with that. So you have to go fulltime to make >> Is this a sick justification for filling your house to the brim because his house is filled to the brim?

[00:07:02]>> $25. It it's it's kind of like saying that like because his house is a hoarder house that where you know you got stuff in the staircases and and and the hallways that the extreme opposite it means that you have to have you know an empty house that looks like it's not even staged. That is that what he's trying to say >> in a year and you're still going out and hunting stuff everywhere to be able to resell. That doesn't sound very good, does it?

[00:07:36]And that's not even enough for a subscription to my plan. Try being a reseller, going to the bank to get a loan for a 45minute call with me and showing them your bottom line.

[00:07:47]>> I don't have a subscription.

[00:07:50][sighs and gasps] >> You'd better start picking up cans and bottles to be able to afford my course.

[00:07:56]Wow.

[00:07:57]Whoa.

[00:08:01]Wow. And as you can see by that graphic, collecting cans and bottles is much more lucrative than reselling. But we kind of knew that already, right? But that's not I don't get where this insult is going now. I is he saying that can't collecting or he's saying that I said that or what's happening?

[00:08:23]>> The endgame, it's just a path on your journey. The endgame is replenishables such as seat covers. I give you a little uh facts right over here. There are 1.6 6 billion with a B cars, not to mention 34 million boats, 100,000 planes, lots of trains, subways, bicycles, >> motorcycles, tricycles, even unicycles, right?

[00:08:58]And what do all these things have in common? Right? They all have seats.

[00:09:04]Multiple seats in fact on most of them.

[00:09:06]So that's over six billion seats that need covering. Let that sink in. Six billion seats.

[00:09:16]I'm not following this joke at all. Like I'm trying to get it. And I thought this video was going to be a lot worse. I thought this was going to be a lot more gotcha stuff. But you just compared like a car seat and a plane seat and a train seat to a bike seat as if like there's a universal cover that could take care of all of them. That's a lot of seats, right? But that's not counting the 60 billion chairs and couches and davenports and love seats, recliners, bar stools and other such things that are out there as well. What do each and every one of them need?

[00:09:57]>> Bar stools, >> right? A seat cover.

[00:10:02]>> How do you cover that?

[00:10:03]>> You see where I'm going with this?

[00:10:05]Right. [laughter] This one single replacement seat covers.

[00:10:10]>> You showed a chase lounge billion sales opportunities at $30 per seat cover. If you do the math, 66 billion times $30, you're at 1 trill980 billion.

[00:10:31]That's a lot of zeros. And that's just selling one cover for each item that needs one. How hard can that be, right?

[00:10:39]You've been into that bar with the bar stools are all ripped up. They need your seat cover, right?

[00:10:47]And best of all, these are wear items. I don't know. Is that his barcar and champagne spilled on them? They need to be replaced. And when they do, they come to you because you're branded. They trust you. They buy from you again and again. So every single year, every single year, let me repeat, every single year, you can get nearly two trillion dollars in seat covers alone.

[00:11:22]It's a lot of money. Okay. Um, so we've gone on for like about almost seven minutes of sarcasm with no with no punch, right? So, I I get it. You know, you want to do like a lot of hyperbole, but then eventually, [laughter] like, we're got to get to the punch, right?

[00:11:41]Where's the punch part right now?

[00:11:44]Imagine two or three similar products.

[00:11:46]You can get close to $10 trillion without ever touching inventory.

[00:11:58]And that's without even trying to expand the market, right? So, is is the the buzz cut fake or or he cut his hair afterwards? [laughter] And Dave, you cut your hair for this.

[00:12:12][laughter] But someone like me, someone truly in business always sees opportunity.

[00:12:20]Always. What about if you can convince people of one truth? Wait, so if you think you're a business owner and you don't see opportunities in things, this is exactly why you're a hoarder is because you see opportunity in everything. If everything has value, then you're not going to get rid of any because why would you get rid of things that are valuable? But if you think everything is valuable, that's how people hold on to what other people think is trash. Now, of course, you know, to each his own. Everybody has their opinions on stuff, but you are clearly in an area where uh you are collecting at a rate that far surpasses your ability to turn over. Have you ever ridden public transportation, a taxi or a plane?

[00:13:06]>> What are they full of? Germs. Right.

[00:13:12]>> Okay.

[00:13:12]>> So, all you need to do is convince people they need portable seat covers.

[00:13:17]That's right. They bring their own seat covers with them. Hence, portable, right? That's it. 8 billion more sales right there. And remember, they're going to get lost. They're going to get warrant and so on. So, if you just sell each person one seat cover a year at $30 per, that's a another $240 billion each year.

[00:13:47]And that's not accounting for making them fashionable. These people love fashion, right? That's what you have to do. So, you sell red ones around Valentine's Day, red, white, and blue ones around July 4th, and so on. And suddenly people are buying multiple seat covers because they have to stay fashionable. They have to stay trendy.

[00:14:07]And that's all money in your pocket, right? And if you get lucky and get a big YouTube influencer in on the grift, have to push your seat covers.

[00:14:16]Cha-ching. Your take is even higher than that $240 billion. I'd say that $240 billion. Okay. So [clears throat] comedy needs to have like at least 10% truth into it. This is just like incredibly far-fetched to the point where I I'm not sure where this is going. Like, are you guys as lost as I am now? Like, I I'm I'm waiting for either the punchline or the bite or or something to happen and it's not happening so far because right now he's trying to uh make a an elitist approach, right? Like like I'm trying to say that I make trillions of dollars while you guys are, you know, homeless people collecting cans or or something like that. things that I' I've never said before, right? And uh I I get the angle so far, but we're really dragging this out. Like when are we gonna get to like what's the point that you're trying to make?

[00:15:09]>> Is a low estimate to be honest with you.

[00:15:12]You can make billions and billions more recurring seasonal colorcoordinated global dominating replenishables.

[00:15:28]And from seat covers alone, just one skew, you're talking2 trillion dollar a year.

[00:15:38]So let's compare.

[00:15:39]>> Why wasn't that updated to two trillion?

[00:15:41]>> We have to run all over God's green earth to find the goods. You make $25.

[00:15:49]Replenishables, where it all goes straight to FBA. You never touch a product. You make $2 trillion a year.

[00:15:58]>> Okay, I'm no mathematician, but one number has a lot of zeros and the other can't even get you dinner for two at a nice joint like Burger King. Right.

[00:16:09]>> I think you could get dinner for two for $25 at Burger King.

[00:16:14]>> Right >> now, let's talk about reselling. It's the sandbox too many people get trapped in. Don't let the sandbox become the sand trap. Clever, eh?

[00:16:27]>> Yeah, you know that should be on a t-shirt. You know, a black t-shirt like cool kids wear. Luckily, it will be.

[00:16:33]When I get sick of earning $2 trillion a year from S covers, I'm going to get it into easy money of fast fashion. And luckily, I'm going to have a program that you can pay for to teach you how to do that as well. But I'm getting ahead of myself now. Reselling is entry level and you do not want to be an entry level. No Siri Bob, let me give you an example because I bring receipts and that's what it's all about. You come to the NBA, you make the league minimum.

[00:17:03]Entry level is where people get their feet wet, but it's just not something that you want to do longterm because it's not beneficial. 1,272,870 a year, but you're an entry level. You need to move up the chain. I mean, wait, hold on. You think an NBA player is an entrylevel position as opposed to uh when they try to play for uh varsity teams in high school. So when you want to use that as a comparison, then playing varsity high school basketball, there's no money in it at all. That's the entry level, not when you finally get signed. That's when you've made it.

[00:17:55]H It's okay to make $1.2 million entry level for a year or two when you're living in your mom's basement, you know, eating her food. But if you want to get up and get out on your own and move up the chain, an entry-level job's not going to cut it.

[00:18:10]>> Who's agreeing that this is a good joke to like, you know, use NBA as your entry level?

[00:18:17]>> So, you need to become an assistant coach, one of whom makes north of $100,000 a year. And that's American.

[00:18:28]>> But you're still near entry level.

[00:18:31]Notice you have assistant in front of your name, right? That's not ideal. Not ideal at all. See, a go for becoming a manager. Further up the chain, always better. And you're a manager at a Dollar Tree. Heavy into replenishables, I might add. So, you're moving in the right direction. And you are earning $47,000 a year.

[00:18:58]Pretty impressive. as you're now a manager.

[00:19:00]>> I I see what he's trying to say. He's trying to say that like certain people in other fields that would be considered entrylevel position, right? But the thing is that uh that's not the entry level manager, but you're still working for someone else.

[00:19:18]Real businessmen know that you have to strive for ownership. That's where it's all at. So, you open up a Subway restaurant. You can make almost $40,000 a year.

[00:19:34]Now, you made it to the top of the pyramid. Way better off than that schlub in the NBA entry level job, right?

[00:19:43]So, to reiterate, you can make $25 reselling or $2 trillion a year in replenishables. You know, when you think of how Michael Jordan started off as a Tarheel for North Carolina and then he got picked up into the Bulls like you think his first year as a rookie in the Bulls is entry level.

[00:20:09]>> He he didn't just start he didn't just start practicing basketball at a much earlier age.

[00:20:15]>> Me $35, which I realize is almost a year and a half of earnings for a reseller.

[00:20:21]>> Wait, wait, what? one more time. So the the point that you made earlier, you you think that the rookie years of NBA is the sandbox.

[00:20:29]I'll help you make $2 trillion.

[00:20:34]Now, some people say Mason Flee, if you're making $2 trillion a year, why do you need another 35 bucks? I thought adding small amounts of money lacked momentum. And some people say the earth is flat and Chebacca is a wookie, but he lives on Endor. Does that make sense?

[00:20:52]As promised, I'm going to tell you a little inside secret. Your buddy Mason Flea comes through.

[00:20:57]>> Chebbacca is a Wookie, but he lives on and right. I'm Chinese, but I live in America. Like, I live in the United States. So, like, what is your point for you again? And this is just between us.

[00:21:10]I do appreciate you sitting through this video. Easily the most successful skew I have, bar none. Better than seat covers, better than anything else. Snake oil.

[00:21:22]That's right. Good old genuine American snake oil. And if you can find a way to pedal that, you're going to make way more money than you do with reselling or replenishables.

[00:21:38]That is the video and I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you did, please give it a big like and a thumbs up. And if you learned something, please subscribe. And as always, see you in the next one.

[00:21:51]Wait, what? What is Is that my phone vibrating? Hold on. Hold on. What? What?

[00:21:56]Wait. Paper guy wants to debate me.

[00:21:59]Wait. Paper guy. He spent 34 years auditing businesses in New York State.

[00:22:03]He He's He's been around the trade since 1981. Wh what? He's He's out of business for for for how long? [laughter] That that that paper guy. Oh, feet don't fail me now. Time for Mason Fle to flee.

[00:22:22]>> What?

[00:22:23]>> Wow. It feels good to have that t-shirt off. What's next? I'm going to wear my baseball.

[00:22:27]>> I see. I I Okay, now I get where this Mason Flea thing is coming from. Okay, so [sighs and gasps] I'm going to share something with you guys over here. Okay, so uh this is February 11th, 2026. Okay.

[00:22:42]Uh, Dawn from I don't know, Right.

[00:22:44]Selections goes, "Paper boy from uh, Million-Dollar Peddlers just said he'd like to debate you on either your channel or his. He just wants it to be live." I said, "What to debate?" Uh, let me blow this up for you guys. Okay. So, I said, "Uh, what to debate? What's the topic? And if he wanted to find me, I'm easy to find. He called himself a hoarder. So, what angle do you have left?" And he goes, "Uh, she goes, I don't know. I'm just a messenger. I think debating reselling in general. Not clear. I said, "Wow." Um, he's very brave then. Yeah, I'll play nice. Have him send me a list of his claims and we'll schedule a call, Zoom or Discord.

[00:23:25]And then she says, "I think he means in a public live stream," which I mean, you know, you would record the Anyways, uh, so, uh, send me your claims and we'll see if we even have a rebuttals cuz if you guys remember, uh, I said over here, Josh G tried the same thing. I ended up just eating Doritos because everything that Josh said, I just completely agree with and it turned out to be, you know, him throwing reselling under the bus more than I ever did. And then uh he goes, "I'll let you know what he said.

[00:23:56]That's as far as my involvement because Dave is a friend. I'm not going to get a conflict." I'm like, "I don't know why he doesn't just come find me yourself."

[00:24:03]So everybody who's in my Discord, there's no gates. There's no like special things hoops that you have to jump through. If you just want to join, you just join and you just come hang out with us. That's it. Um and then he uh she says uh even though I know what you say to people isn't against the person but the activity and the claims.

[00:24:25]Exactly. This is the point. Everybody who watches my stuff after a while understands that I'm not going after the person. I'm going after the activity and the claims. Now the times where I go after certain people, yes, definitely is because they have openly [clears throat] shared what their intentions are. That's different. You know what I mean? Like those are the people where, okay, this is a bad person doing a pretty scummy thing, right? So that that that becomes a different kind of video. Uh others may not understand yet, no matter how many times you say it, right? So if you want to dig your heels in, it is what it is.

[00:25:02]So she says, uh, you know, I didn't ask why he didn't come find me himself. He just came uh to moderate the chat. I said, uh, what did I say about him? It's the comment section that made all the remarks about his wife. So, if he comes at me with some emotional argument, that's going to reflect bad on him.

[00:25:19]Anyone can do whatever they want with their lives. This is why all three guys from the Prophet playbook wanted no further interaction with me. I'll beat all three of them like 3v1. So, I said, "Here's the truth, Dod. Uh, it's exactly the quote from Thomas Soul. There's no solutions, only tradeoffs." So when I make my criticisms, it is about these tradeoffs, right? And reselling the way that he's doing it is just simply a bad trade-off because look, this was the original video that uh he put out, right? And when you look at the title, it said a hoarder house the before. So this is him saying that this is a hoarder house. This is not me saying it.

[00:26:08]I simply just say, "Yep." And this is what happens when you value everything and nothing is devalued. So then you'll want to keep everything because that's what people do. Now what's interesting is that if you look at this room and then you we go here where it says the reseller hoarder house the after which is after that he has cleaned it up, it look at it after. This is the before and then this is the after.

[00:26:41]Okay, so here's the thing. What he did in this video, I called it. Okay, basically what ended up happening is that he did go to the attic and then he started to organize things and then there was a section over here, if I could find it, that's a little neater than before. Ah, here we go. Here we go.

[00:27:00]So, this section, right? So, this section is neater than it was before.

[00:27:06]Right. So, there's a little bit more space over here. Now, in the original video, he did this saying that this is going to make his wife happy because he has stuff everywhere. It's by the hallways, it's in the stairs, and it's just in the way. He had uh a special like like uh I don't know, Four Seasons room or something. I can't really remember. And that thing was filled with clutter. After he tried to declutter it, it was still unusable. So, What I called was that even though he organized all of this stuff, the purpose of this organization is just to fill more stuff. It's not for, you know, what you think it is. So, uh, this was a recent video that they did, right, with like over 1 million items in this hall.

[00:27:56]And [snorts] I thought this was hysterical because I just was able to pause it right here. So, this is a whole bunch of like, you know, adult video VHS's. And this one says like salsa chicks and black D's. Okay. So, when you look at all the stuff here, they bought all this for I think somewhere around like $200 to $300,000. Okay. And uh if you guys like I'll do a video on this one as well because you really have to crunch the numbers of exactly how much stuff is here and the amount of work that you have to put in for the opportunity just to sell a portion of it. So when you look at all this stuff, I mean again he himself calls it a hoarder house and then people who are into all of this, you know, ephemera magazine kind of things see the value in this while the rest of us just see this as like, you know, the youth simply not worth the squeeze. Let's get back to listening to the rest of uh what he has to say. If he even gets to any uh critique or punch or or clapback at all.

[00:29:00]>> Ball cap backwards and go kabanga, dude.

[00:29:03]Apparently, uh, professionalism is a little different in the replenishables world versus the reselling world, but whatever. Uh, this paper guy had a lot of fun doing that video. I don't owe you professionalism. I do my channel however I want to do it, just like you do your channel however you want to do it, and I have no complaints about it. So, if you want to use my footage or say something about me or do a video, you're welcome to do it. But, I don't owe you professionalism, and neither you, you know, to me. So >> obviously it is a uh satire. Um >> replenishables are wonderful. Reselling is wonderful.

[00:29:41]>> So what was the point of this?

[00:29:46]I don't agree that like reselling is wonderful. I think it's a great way to get your foot in the door and start understanding stuff. start learning the ropes, how to make listings, inventory control, filing for a whole bunch of things because once you start getting serious about it and you're doing more than just a sole proprietorship, you want to you know have your uh resale certificates like all sorts of things, right? So these are stuff that like you know you know that you're going to be committed to building a business in the long haul. The purpose of my channel is to help people understand the difference between running a business and building one because most of the people who are doing this stuff, you don't actually come from business backgrounds. And earlier when he tried to make that point about, you know, how he was an auditor, etc., etc. It's not what you think it is because what kind of businesses get audited? Bad ones. And just because you audit a business doesn't mean that you understood their strategy. And when you audit the business, you audited the business of a a bad business, right? So you need to work with a good prosperous business and then see what their strategy is and how they made stuff work. So I disagree with that premise. I think you know him saying that like I used to be an auditor etc etc. I don't think you have the vantage point that you're trying to make. Actually, >> probably the best of all worlds and probably something that I should do is a hybrid. Um, both work well. Don't listen to anybody that says one way is better than the other.

[00:31:21]>> Yeah. But he just said, "Don't listen to anybody one way or the other." But then after this interaction with me, he realizes that maybe he should adopt a hybrid, meaning he's starting to come over. He's he's not digging his heels in, just reselling, right? But if I went to reselling from what I'm doing, I would be stepping backwards. I would be regressing. If you make a hybrid thing from reselling over to collecting a couple of replenishable items, you would be progressing.

[00:31:50]There's a big difference here. One of the biggest griffs, the biggest griff sell from all these reseller creators is that we are just in two separate lanes.

[00:31:59]Potato potato, you know, your world, my world, something like that. as opposed to one is an evolution of another. They they refuse to see one as an evolution of the other. Look, your items can only come in two binary forms, limited quantity and unlimited quantity. What else is there? So, limited quantity means that it's either a one-off or a small bulk that you probably cannot get more of. So when you think about the whole sourcing idea, reselling, they're not even really sourcing stuff. You are scavenging for something because that's what scavenging is. I came across something. It could be of high value, but that's all there is.

[00:32:44]It's this pile of stuff. That's all there is. And then I have to go look for other things. Sourcing is where you find a continuous source of something. So when somebody says, "Hey, I found a water source." What does the other villager say? Take us to it because we're going to go get more. You wouldn't find just a little puddle of water. And then say you found a water source. So this is the language issue. When you're in like this reseller content thing, just the word sourcing alone, you're not even really sourcing. And this is many of the points that I make. The false equivalence creates false expectations and over time you're going to be in a bad place because you were hoping for something different and this is not it.

[00:33:30]And it's all because the language is all over the place here from people who don't come from business backgrounds just you know saying things just using words very loosely. Uh the biggest problem is that it's going to burn a lot of years off of your life and you're not progressing the way that you were hoping for. And when you come back, can you blame these people? No. They're not going to take any accountability for that kind of stuff. That's why my channel exists.

[00:33:59]>> It all depends upon your situation. Uh depends upon what you enjoy doing. You can make money in both. Both >> depends on what you enjoy doing. That's the cell versus effective results.

[00:34:13]Because ultimately, if you have very effective results, then you make more money and you could do whatever you want with your time.

[00:34:22]That's a huge difference than doing something like this and then saying, "Oh, this is what I love to do." You you're intentionally saying like, "I'm in love with this activity, this work."

[00:34:32]as opposed to having something that generates reasonable money for you beyond your means so that you could enjoy your time doing anything else in this world that you like.

[00:34:43]>> Have pros both have cons. Just always remember that anybody that pushes really really hard for one over the other is trying to sell you something.

[00:34:53]>> Okay. So, is it possible that certain things are clearly better than something else? Is it possible that car A is clearly better than car B? Is it possible that you know uh strategy A is clearly better than strategy B? That's the idea. So you know when people say the opposite of this that you know trying to balance one is not better than the other. This is stroking their own ego trying to say that you know you're not better than me. But nobody's saying that one person is better than the other person because the difference between myself and the rest of you guys is simply I'm a dude who started first.

[00:35:33]That's it. All you have to do is look into stuff. The knowledge is already there. The book's already written.

[00:35:39]Google is available. People just have to put in the work. End of story. I put in the work and other people who come along later on just simply have to put in the work. And the only shortcuts in life is through some form of mentorship. We do this with our children. We pass down our wisdom to our kids. So the same thing happens tit for tat in commerce. So uh you know I I get like you were trying to do some satire or whatever, but like that was just one really drawn out sarcasm that like never ended up hitting. And make sure that you do remember that. I think that's the most important thing of all. I was an auditor for New York State for 34.25 two five years according to my uh pension statement I saw 20,000 25,000 businesses who knows how many uh four audits a day for 34.25 years minus vacations yada yada yada plenty of businesses I saw their inner workings I saw their numbers I talked to them I learned their strategies and one thing that I did learn But why are they being audited?

[00:36:53]Zing. You know what I mean? Why are they being audited? So, okay, how good is their strategy if they're right now being audited?

[00:37:00]>> There is no easy way to success because if I were sitting out there at somebody's audit and they had a way to make a lot of money with no risk, I they wouldn't be audited.

[00:37:12]>> Wouldn't be doing their audit the next year. I'd steal their business idea and I'd be doing that the next year. 34.25 years I ended up as an auditor, which tells you there is no get rich quick without risk out there. So do what you want to do. Do what you enjoy doing.

[00:37:30]You're going to make money. If you [clears throat] try hard and you treat it like a real business and reselling is a real This is the point that Josh made, right? When you say treat it like a business, that means it's not a business and you're just trying to treat it like one versus what I try to teach people, which is how to actually build a business.

[00:37:50]That can actually scale and compound.

[00:37:52]The reason why one is more effective than the other, is because your efforts keep resetting in reselling while your efforts with a replenishable item, you would establish the pipeline and then move on to the other one. So you would establish multiple pipelines over time and then have multiple streams of income. It's not get-rich quick, but it does compound. So therefore, doing it over time, you start making more and more money over time. While here, you're just constantly trying to chase the next sale. Business, replenishables are a real business. Make sure that you do remember that. Um don't buy into the dream that some people are are selling you. That's where they're making their money.

[00:38:36]Reselling is not a business. Reselling is just a string of transactions. Uh doing repunishables would suggest a real business. That's the difference. Just saying. And this is kind of important.

[00:38:53]Years ago, I read an article about the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

[00:38:58]Now, I'm not a high flutin. I didn't read an article about that. I read it about the guy that was the hot dog vendor out in front and this was 101 15 10 to 15 years ago. I read the article.

[00:39:11]He was paying $1 million a year, right? That's a lot of money, right? $1 million a year for the license to sell hot dogs in front of the Museum of Modern Art. I'm sure it's gone up since then. Who knows what it is now?

[00:39:28]1.5, two million? Who knows? I've eaten from those hot dogs before as a kid.

[00:39:31]>> And he was paying that much money out and making money because he kept renewing.

[00:39:39]There going to be people out there that are going to say, "You need to have a three star, three Michelin star French restaurant in New York City, and that's the only way to be successful." And you need when I said that, you need to, >> you know, that hot dog vendor can probably buy and sell the owner of the French restaurant. Don't look down on anybody because of their job. Entry level.

[00:40:01]>> No, I certainly wouldn't look down on the hot dog vendor. And the same thing goes for the taxi driver in NYC. Those medallions cost a lot of money. I actually have an uncle who has one of those medallions. And when he sold it for his retirement at the time, I I can't remember what year, this is many years ago, he sold it for 750,000 and New York City taxi because they're not making any more of it. Especially with, you know, the flood of like Uber and Lyft and everything else, but what you're selling with the hot dogs and the soda cans, that's a replenishable paper What are you talking about? Right. You can't just have a hot dog stand outside, a food cart outside, and then keep offering something different every single day, and then people don't know it. People see the common hot dog stand from a mile away. They already know what they're going to get. They already know the consistency. They just come over and say, "Hey, let me get two Franks, etc., etc." Right? So, that's different, right?

[00:41:04]What you're doing is a whole bunch of listings of random things constantly in trial and error mode trying to figure out what people want. They've already figured out what people want. People are used to the culture of the NYC street hot dog. You're not the only person from New I lived in New York. I lived in New York for 30 years. So, I ate from those carts. I've been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I went there uh for a school field trip twice from New York City public schools. So, I understand what those things are that you're talking about. And I know how these medallions and permits work.

[00:41:42]>> Top of the food chain doesn't matter.

[00:41:44]We're all just people. We're all just trying to make it. So, hopefully that does help you a little bit over there.

[00:41:49]Hopefully.

[00:41:50]>> This is the same argument that John from Flip Ain't Easy made, right? He goes, "Well, what if he had like, you know, five restaurants, >> four or five like burger joints here in town, right? And you're running [music] those five burger joints." That's like saying, "Well, if you're not going to scale your business to other cities and other states, [music] you're not running a business."

[00:42:09]>> It's like, "No, I'm I'm running a business." And >> it's like, you don't have five burger joints. How about that?

[00:42:18]If you even owned one burger joint, I would have said, "Yeah, that's a business." I would have just agreed with you and then that's it, [cough] [clears throat] etc., etc. Yeah, but you don't have five restaurants. Well, you know why? Why do you look No, the reason is because you look down hot dog vendors when the truth is they have permits that are very, very expensive, especially to be in front of the Metropol. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is near uh around uh uh Central Park actually. You know, that's uptown Manhattan. It's a very prime spot. Are you kidding? That thing is ultra expensive. The fact that the [snorts] reason why he renews is because if you don't, then somebody else is going to take your spot and you're done. So, yeah. Plus, do you know how much those hot dogs cost? Those hot dogs are are charged very very high. I remember uh when I went to see uh Wicked on Broadway, man, a hot dog was like $8 or something, guys. I'm not even talking about like a a really good hot dog. Like a really slim, you know, sabbread or something like that with just that's like like seven $8. It's it's very expensive those things. You'd be surprised, man.

[00:43:36]>> You got a couple of chuckles at the uh video before. I do not believe you really can make a couple of trillion dollars in replenishables. I may be wrong. I'm willing to debate it anytime.

[00:43:47]Do hit the like button if you could and we'll see you next video from the milliondoll peddlers.

[00:43:57]No hope.

[00:44:02]In early February 2026, Pegasus Lounge put up a video critical of PaperGoy's business strategy. Wasn't it self-evident though?

[00:44:15]>> 2026 on the Million-Dollar Peddlers live show, Paper challenged Pegasus to a live debate on a channel of Pegasus's choice.

[00:44:26]>> Nobody told me. [laughter] And and then and then when when uh when Dawn showed me this thing, right, like over in my Discord, I said, "Okay." I said, "Sure."

[00:44:38]And I even said, "Well, you're really brave for doing it." And then nobody ever got back to me.

[00:44:43]>> And thus was born Pegasus Scrge, the legend of Mason Flea.

[00:44:53]That's it. Is that it?

[00:44:57]Yeah, that's it, guys.

[00:45:00]Man, I thought he would end up hitting with something. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than what this is.

[00:45:09][laughter]
