He defends Gary Vaynerchuk somewhat while mocking his motivational-speaker act, comparing him to psychic hustlers like the Long Island Medium, and brings in his mother's Beanie Baby investment (including the Princess Diana bear) as an example of wasted money.
- Tim suggests watching Gary Vaynerchuk or picking a motivational speaker to fill you with nothing.
- If you think the Long Island Medium is talking to your dead daughter, you deserve to get your money stolen.
- Paying $300 to sit in a Long Island restaurant while a woman pretends to channel your dead daughter is a transactional con.
- Tim's mother bought Beanie Babies at McDonald's and tried to retire on collecting them.
- After 9/11 it seems weird to be playing with Beanie Babies—nobody really cares.
- The commemorative Princess Diana Beanie Baby was the most popular one his mother had.
- What Gary Vaynerchuk can't tell people is that most of them will never actually enjoy their jobs.
- The world isn't set up for you to wake up on Monday excited—that's not going to happen.
