Graham Stephan reveals his insecurities, money, prenup, height, and Iced Coffee Hour show

[@jisunghyun8172]

Yo here is a fan from South Korea. Kong I wanted to tell you your vocal projection and voice tone is just a magical aspect not just for pickup but also in terms of buisness. You rock. Love you(not in a pickup way). (I love girls.)

[@KongPham]

thank you for the clarification that you love girls lol but anyway much appreciated brother.

Really enjoyed this podcast Kong! Also enjoyed when you chimed in and shared something about yourself. Keep sending future episodes via email! Looking forward to more :)

[@KongPham]

Thank you!!

[@OptimumAdvantedge]

Kong you have been a major impact and turning point in my life back in 2014. If it wasn't for you 3 from SP, I'd probably be dead somewhere.

[@KongPham]

Glad you're alive and well!

[@OptimumAdvantedge]

@@KongPham it was that video of talking to 3 people within 20 seconds from each other to enter God Mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewjedi]

Omg I remember god mode!

[@Native722]

Good to see you again Kong.

[@SimoAtlas]

He's so humble and a genuine person I hope all the best for him and his family

[@KongPham]

He's even more humble and geniuine in person!

[@nost2136]

That day I went to ☆ because I didn't know that people/fans will judge me for every single thing I will do or not do. The lesson is everyone makes mistakes.

[@dvmn1]

Hey, cool. Didn’t expect this. Nice 👍

[@KongPham]

🙏

[@RampagePoker]

what a story that graham saw your fake profile lol

[@KongPham]

😂

[@JordanTran-v2t]

Now we are all curious about the washer dryer situation.

[@KongPham]

I will get to the bottom of this and report back.

[@yitroshlomo]

Kong catfished Graham! 😂😂😂

[@thegagankhaira]

Kong please show your big face more often on this channel. We all miss it man!

[@wraith9166]

Kong returning to youtube as a podcaster is what I need in 2024.

[@KongPham]

thank you

[@qasimkayla440]

Frugal Tip: Covert a minivan into a camper - I made a video on how I did it I made one video -- it did great -- but I tend to overthink about "the market" for the video. Given that in 2024, every space is so saturated. How does one fit "audience market fit" in 2024? Love you Kong

[@0The0shadow0]

I just started the vid but...avoiding Starbucks...I only enjoy it when someone else buys....for years now...I used to work there so I've had my experiences...but in those years I have yet to attain millions of dollars...

[@KongPham]

It takes about 60 years of saving $5/day :)

[@0The0shadow0]

@KongPham oh cool....45 more years to go...

[@heavyjoechipman3594]

Thanks Kong. I am a crazy, zany, humorous person who would love to take my KZbin channel to the next level. I am reaching out to you for help. I really enjoy channels like Jack Vale, Sons of Arkham, and super stupid poop. I am watching this entire conversation over coffee. God bless you Kong. ♥️😊👍

[@inuyashaspet]

For someone with so few episodes, you are really fucking good at this podcasting. In terms of pacing, voice, production, guest, etc. I don't agree with Graham's philosophy in life (death in the family. He died saving up his entire life and never enjoyed life), I can see how it works for him

[@KongPham]

thank you, I appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@alancastillo2170]

Awesome Interview Kong! Years later do you still believe in all the stuff you used to teach such as The Us mentality,high risk=low risk,Down talk,etc Do you still believe in your guys style of pickup do you think it would still work today?

[@KongPham]

This guy f***s. Yeah, almost all that stuff is universal communication skills. I use it in my daily life even outside of dating!

[@Giorgiio69]

I like today's world, where people are fed by hard work to become rich. As if money is the most important goal in life.

[@KongPham]

At least for me, it's not about money... it's about what money can get you. Not having to worry about bills, pay for experiences with my friends and family, live in a place that is great for my personal/professional life, etc.

[@neiljosephpadao7188]

Kooooong! You are back maaan! Wohoooo Good to see you brother!

[@KongPham]

YOOOOO

[@InOrlando]

I get what he means. Coffee used to be a few bucks at Starbucks, but the costs are too high now. I do it seldomly, but not on the daily.

[@onemambalifestyle248]

Hey Kong, firstly hope you do more vids now and Ive been a fan since early Simplepickup days when I was still a teen. Just wanna let you know how grateful I am to you guys that indeed had an impact to who I am today. I know you’ve received thousands of appreciation posts before but this is the first time I’m saying mine to you. Also this is an insightful vid. One hunnid 👌🏼💯

[@KongPham]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏. Hoping you kill it in 2024 and beyond!

[@onemambalifestyle248]

@@KongPham Thank you as well again to you man. Simplepickup while entertaining for most (and me) was a life changer for me and the tips and even the pranks with all that confidence knowing where you guys came from was inspiring. Having an interaction with you now is literally crazy. All the best 💯 Cheers, King Kong Dong 😂🙏🏼

[@NoahSokoloff]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO KONG IS BACK BABY

[@NoahSokoloff]

Podcast 2.0 😉

[@bloom4385]

[@AfroLatinoJG]

Can you do a podcast with Jason about Jesse? Any chances

[@KongPham]

Lol maybe one day.

[@AfroLatinoJG]

@@KongPham a podcast in general regarding the old days Pham

[@vikspod]

Kong is back! 😮 🎉

[@KongPham]

🥊

[@DanielHoward]

I agree with the Starbucks stuff but, IMO, you missed 3 things: (1) if you lower your monthly expenses by being frugal, you both save more and it costs you less money per month (so you can be unemployed for longer); it's a double bonus; (2) you don't really talk about when you have $1M+ in 40 years: do you still live the frugal lifestyle? why do you need a $1M+ for a frugal lifestyle?; people think that they'll save $1M+ and then just spend extravagantly; (3) Starbucks is small potatoes compared to the real money wasters like interest payments, huge mortgages, leased cars, hoarding (a la the TV show) in daily purchases and property destruction, pets, gadgets, timeshares, "the best education money can buy" for your kids; if you can avoid these huge money leaks, a small daily indulgence like Starbucks (if it's just that one thing) is a minor money leak.

[@blakef47]

Thanks for the video, Kong, I've been watching your videos since i was about 14/15 years old and i am now 26. I wonder how Jesse is these days? I believe if I'm not mistaken that was your counterpart for simple pickup. Cheers!

[@deathwishlv]

Bro did I see you at five guys in Vegas Saturday, am I tripping 😅

[@KongPham]

haha yeah that was me

[@TheBeziii]

Graham is the G

[@Areyudumb]

Came here just to say; Kong got a Vegeta hairline. Lol Do a different style to cover that five head. Crop cut, w/messy fringe. Google it. Nvm. I feel like you do a $5 Chinese hair cut in and out type shit.

[@KongPham]

No way dude, Vegeta is the shit.

[@kehw]

Link to the wrestlemaina shirt tho?

[@KongPham]

Got it from target a while ago 😭

[@AlexEMF]

The only reason he's always been afraid to just say it is because he's that short.

[@andrewjedi]

YESSSSS KONG IS BACK!

[@SN-yk5pi]

Kong how’s life these days?

[@KongPham]

can't complain!

How to get a taller girl if you're only 5'1 and 120 lbs? Lol.

[@alanm1usa]

Remember though, $1million in 40 years will only be worth about the equivalent of $60k in today's money. So don't think you can save on a cup of coffee a day and in 40 years you'll be able to buy the house you saw last week listed for a million dollars. If you want to check, just find a house for sale that is over 30 years old and check the price it originally sold for. Rule of thumb, property doubles about every 10 years depending on things like location. You'll probably find this happens to sales that are a minimum of 15 - 20 years apart. (As an example, I bought a shack in the middle of Tasmania [bottom of Australia], in a town that had more sheep than people in it. I paid AUD$12,000 cash [admittedly land value was about $20k at the time] and sold it about 35 years later for $185,000. It works like this: Bought for $12k. 10 years later, on average, worth $24k. 20 years later, on average, worth $48k. 30 years later, on average, worth $96k. 40 years later, on average, worth $192k.

[@KongPham]

True, we're not counting for inflation but I think the $1 million in 40 years = $60k today is very far off. Assuming a 2.5% average inflation rate, $161k in 40 years is equal to $60k today.
