It's funny to see a financial KZbinr not understand that someone else who also does KZbin, just does it to enjoy it. I think Michael broke Graham's brain by telling him he doesn't care about how much it is, as long as he's enjoying it. That's so much more valuable than a number in a bank account.

Most higher-level jobs have graduation of a university as a requirement, so be wary of making the same decision for yourself.

[@raddaks2039]

I'd say keep in mind that not all higher-level jobs require a degree. Don't assume that a college degree is always a good idea, or is a good idea for you.

I watched Michael’s video and i FLIPPED OUT when i saw Graham out of nowhere just say “hey”

[@alexpedraza6573]

Same! 2 of my all time favorite KZbinr

[@scoremoore4280]

Me too.

[@lordmusea]

Graham: “If you just suffered for a year and out out content monthly, you’d be set for life with money.” Michael: “Then what would I do? Also, I don’t want to suffer.” Graham: ::surprises Pikachu face::

[@ImClairek261]

I could not careless about how much money Michael has. Since he himself does not care. He makes videos because he likes it.

[@mcmaschio]

My perfect sunday does not involve partying but listening to my favourite podcasts 💯 thanks guys 🔥💯

[@HaydenHillTV]

🥸🤓

[@KevinCosPlays]

The last minutes of the podcast i really enjoyed because i know how much Michael LOOOOOVES to hear shitty robot ideas from other people

[@suvin1]

1:25:24 that terrible shadow of fear that went past Graham when Michael said he's gonna fit a fu@king gun at the end of his boxing glove 😝

[@jloading6621]

Michael again! Can tell this episode is going to be good!

[@b14ker14]

Ya but for some reason I got serious douche vibes of of Graham. 4 or so comments he made are just lame and annoying

[@HaydenEccles]

Michael Reeves is such an entertaining guest, and I love the contrast between him & Graham. Homie is not money-motivated in the slightest.

[@linusjklett]

It’s crazy how he is so happy that he ‘only’ paid 200$ AND also waited 4h lol

[@localdez3230]

I waited that long in the emergency room after my 150 lb dog bit me on the neck/face and I was actively bleeding all over the lobby 😅 America is a hell scape

[@ridhwankazi9503]

micheal is the few left trully genuine content creators left

[@checkle1]

I always tell kids who want to grow up to be marine biologists "we do it because we love it". And if those kids are in high school or college, I say "we do it because we love it, because it sure as hell isn't for the money".

[@TheTrippyCity]

59:07 I love the idea of Michael being like an anime character, having a whole technical inner monologue of his fight plan.

[@YEABREAD]

I love Michael's outlook on money & how he doesn't care about KZbin for money. He just does it because he enjoys it & I think that's great

[@GiDS222]

Michael is awesome fr, so awesome seeing this pop up on the feed! Big ups for making this happen you guys! also, maybe...Graham, you should become Michael's financial advisor for like 3-6 months on the side and then show him the results and make content out of it

[@arsenalism9047]

Michael could have jumped back at them as a senior software engineer since he knows most stuff. He could do all of the tasks and then take some days off. This would show them that Michael is essential. If I was in his place, I would show my worthiness by my absence.

[@joeb5779]

I’m here for Michael. That is all. Thank you

[@clarisrichter7966]

It's so sad to see companies still putting paper above ability. Even in the tech industry where it's less prevalent, it's still an issue at older corporations.

[@imsuchwaste2606]

Micheal is just flowing through life

[@chrisblank5277]

I volunteer to play the role of "package thief" in Michael's pepper-spray and taser fake package video

[@letshearit8993]

Michael is one of the most interesting people on the platform. Love his content and love the crossover!

[@hemansingrutty1071]

This is some Quality content right there.

[@choffos]

I love that a first impression of micheal's videos can make you think he was a straight a student in highschool. And then he proceeds to say he hid a sleeping bag in a closet at school to sleep through the day

[@rhadnom]

Well I did anticipate it after seeing Michael in the podcast room in the video. It was crazy

[@EVRNDR]

I've been in Tucson for almost three years and I applaud Michael for not taking the Raytheon job solely for not wanting to live here. It's not the worst place to be, but when you've lived in Maui and California, I can absolutely understand the lack of appeal.

[@codex3693]

Michael loves to do stuff he’s interested, which allows him to make money to put back into his interests. Kevin is interested in the money game, he loves to play.

[@wolfofyoutube474]

Michael reeves was born to do these interviews I haven't been engaged like this in awhile

[@FabulousWalrus]

Great to see two legends clash! Great podcast Graham. :)

[@yencytolentino4299]

Im from the Philippines, and I just realized how bad the health sector is in terms of money in US.

[@Leo-sd3jt]

@@user-zu6fe9nk6u wait, what? I don't think I understand what you mean or how it explains people getting paid less

[@BBoPPo88]

I love seeing this part of him!! He's honestly so charming. His attitude makes him super attractive.

[@NobelNighthawk274]

I just love that Michael doesnt know shit about his finances but doesnt care and Graham cannot fathom that

[@kingblah112]

Between the minds in the room y'all could build a billion dollar company. Love that Michael is not willing to compromise drive to make more money. Always great content👍

[@bitehunter122]

Jack: “I’ll be there for you, Graham.” Jack throws Graham under the bus. 😄

[@machetekid07]

Just imagine there’s an alternate reality of Michael making videos once a year to track the psychology of how that affects his audience

[@DadFeels]

This is a very good pairing. See you in Tampa!

[@TyrellPatrick]

The legend himself! good luck to you and Michael im rooting for you both I've loved your content for over a decade keep it up and kick some butt out there Dad!

[@DadFeels]

@@TyrellPatrick 🙏

[@RPHelpingHand]

Now he looks even smarter. He was out the market before the crash. This guy seems like the luckiest guy in the world. He just coast from on thing to another and it all works out.

[@MrSnowFoxy]

His story about college reminds me a bit of my college experience. I started in 2019 going for a bachelors in comp science and the curriculum was just digital point and click adventure games with an IT skin. I made it through almost a year and then my mom passed away and that affected me a lot, tried my best to push through it because they wouldnt even give me a chance to take a month to navigate this turbulent time. fast forward to a year and a half(half way through my degree) and I ended up dropping out because I couldnt do it anymore with the depression. and 9 months later they lost their acredidation because they had super bad graduation rates and no where near the promised job placement rates, and the parent organization had be on and off under investigation for years but the info wasnt easy to find when I was enrolled. one of those investigations was for high ranking officers in the org signing students in their owned colleges into loan/grant programs without their consent and keeping the money. another time they were under investigation for potentially paying recruiters comissions on new student enrollment

[@itsnotjason]

The most hilarious part is Michael trying so hard not to swear, but then swearing anyway

[@sevilnatas]

Michael's subtext answer to every piece of advise given to him in this video: "Hmmm? Well, whatever, I'm just gonna do what I want."

[@chieludz]

I think michael is an artist when it comes to his creative works and how he utulizes his memes and humor into it and to create something ironic or something ridicolous but does it in his own way because there will probably never be a michael reeves we know,who does brainshit like this.

[@nicolemiggin8358]

When you expose yourself as money hungry and you find out it didn't actually make you free.

[@Murlocky82]

I didn't know anything about Michael before the Clash but I'm glad to have learned about him...he's hilarious and now I'm a fan......I've also been a longtime fan of Graham and of course I'm a big supporter of Channel 5 News ( All Gas No Brakes).....

[@420blazinOG]

Weird how I JUST got recommended a video of his yesterday. Didn't watch but seems like a cool guy.

[@TheIcedCoffeeHour]

Nice!!

[@virgiliod.9436]

Thank you Michael Reeves for being honest. The average people thinks he is a science and/or computer genius but he is just very ingenious at combining "asymmetrical" things and entertaining which are real talents BTW.

[@UgaBuga-mr7zr]

Thanks graham, I see this kid only 3 times on KZbin, and all 3 in your channel. Very interesting and fun guy, don’t even to mention silly inteligente
