[@trykarat]

Hi this is Eric from the episode! I had so much fun doing this w the crew - just happy and grateful to be here 🙏

[@trykarat]

for context - this is me off a 6 hour flight from mexico city - bart texted me like 1-2 days before for this; i missed my first flight to return; and second one came in 4 hours late but we made it!

[@GYSMelanie5]

​@trykarat we are so happy to meet you! Can't wait for the other episodes to air! You exude positive energy and it's infectious!

[@divinelymoowah6104]

like bob ross says, happy accidents 😳☺️

[@adolfoguevara7830]

Love the energy and definitely need more of this!!!

[@stephaniec9007]

Loved this episode!!

[@eillomanu]

Never seen a first-time guest with such a commanding presence, holy moly he's good!

[@trykarat]

i appreciate that!! i grew up watching JKN so was trying my best to represent

[@kiarademoner]

I like how he came in with the energy!

[@GYSMelanie5]

Such great energy!

[@trykarat]

thank you! the guys had really good camaraderie in the room so I got to feed off of it

[@Richardarbizo]

Poor Steve. Not getting the opportunity to talk more crypto or incest😔

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Eric is the asian steve

[@aquaviii]

Crypto Corner

[@mariet8943]

“Or incest” lmfao 💀

[@apparentlyayesha]

It's actually so attractive hearing him speak so well about his field

[@fellyf89]

Wow are we actually learning who the guest is first???!!! 🤯

[@trykarat]

yea i was grateful they gave me time to explain who i was!

[@mehdikaveh9138]

You know every guest introduces themselves but the videos come out randomly so we watch some videos with that guest and then the introduction one😂😂😂😂​@@trykarat

[@darrylt8502]

He has the perfect voice for a nerdy anime character. He should lend his voice.

[@GYSMelanie5]

One thousand percent!

[@trykarat]

i am a huge weeb and have read way too much manga/ seen anime - so thank you

[@RyanSavour]

Imagine him in a live action Golden Boy 😂

[@justinnyugen7015]

somebody get him a harem

[@mov744]

If they ever remade Dexter's Laboratory he'd be perfect to voice Mandark lol 😂

[@SmokenHash]

I'm diggin this Eric guy.

[@trykarat]

awww thank you 🥹

[@looloo960]

Eric is probably the most engaging and fun guest you had on this year!! You can listen to him talk for the longest time and not even realize how much time passed😂 he’s a natural👏

[@MrFat1337]

Man this guy knows how to talk! Smart and very engaging. Awesome guest!

[@trykarat]

thank you!!

[@bethnichols2875]

Nice that Eric's getting to know you vid was first in the rotation. Thank you, Bart for bringing on such an awesome new guest. Thank you, Eric for coming on the show. Love the positive energy. And cool new haircut you are sporting there, Ryan.

[@trykarat]

Appreciate you watching 🙏 and yea Bart texted me a couple days before asking - and I was like absolutely I'd love to join haha

[@BeanColored]

Eric is so fun to listen to.

[@trykarat]

thank you!!! i used to be super self conscious about my voice so i'm happy to hear this

[@FiveSubj3x6]

Dude really?? You sound madddddddddddd coooool......! Cooler than most people I ever heard. Plus your words have meaning and context... which makes your voice 10x cooler

[@theelectricant98]

His interviews with different streamers and KZbinrs are some of the best on the platform- he is a great listener but also contributes novel ideas to the conversations and makes guests comfortable to open up

[@trykarat]

@@theelectricant98 thank you for watching 🥹

[@FabsandKodi]

Man this dude is a top tier guest. Very rare that a guest speaks this much.

[@janeyn.34]

Gotta love to see Bart and his son matching fits this ep lmao

[@Tony_940]

Awesome guest. Love the energy and the way he was able to tell his story. Jake Tran take lessons

[@Caffeinefeend]

It’s notes bro…take notes 😂😂😂 I know what you mean tho.

[@striptalkbandit]

@@Caffeinefeendur not slick jake , we know this is your alt

[@Caffeinefeend]

@@striptalkbandit I wish I was as smart as him for real lol

[@kuya5k]

jake tran AHAHAHAAAA

[@jaguy4u2]

This Eric Wei guy is fascinating and hilarious..plus the squeak in his voice is Everything like he's STILL going thru puberty 😄

[@trykarat]

😩 i've always had that little voice crack there haha. and thank you!

[@gmg7672]

I'm a 49 yo woman and I also have that squeak lol

[@NicanorMercado]

Eric's one of JKN's most engaging guests to date. He's up there with Jesus. I've never delved into finance like that but here I was listening to Eric's every word in pure interest. If he wasn't doing what he is now, I could definitely see him in movies or doing voice over work. Hahah. I can't wait for part 2!

[@trykarat]

awww- thank you for the thoughtful compliment! I honestly just never thought anyone would ever care what I had to say - so this whole podcasting thing is new for me, but I'll keep trying at it

[@NicanorMercado]

@@trykarat Hey, Eric! I'm sorry about the super late reply. KZbin always seems to pick and choose what it wants me to be notified about. Anyway, you're welcome! And, yes, please, keep at it! I meant what I said in my original comment. You make whatever it is you're speaking about engaging! It just might combat the short attention spans on the internet. Hahah.

[@drdannydude123]

this guy is cool as fuck

[@trykarat]

awww you too brother

[@amcheung10]

Eric talked so much during this video and im all for it. I always love listening to him speak 🔥

[@trykarat]

i'm so happy to hear that! it was so much fun to join the guys

[@dan0acuesta733]

Eric has a way in telling a story! Super engaging and tons of high energy, i was totally locked in for this episode 😳

[@trykarat]

thank you!! excited for more parts to drop

[@c2itutis]

Dude, this is one of the top 5 guest on JK by far

[@trykarat]

awwww - thank you!

[@iscratchmybutt]

eric is a great speaker. felt like he was giving a ted talk the whole time with his eye contact and hand gestures lol

[@trykarat]

i appreciate that! i grew up terrified of talking to people so you're hearing this after years of practice

[@KJ-ek2ze]

This is the difference between a Kat Williams/Matt Kim having emotional outbursts or speculative "theories" spewed out on fragmented sentences and a guy like Eric Wei who has actual knowledge and experience of how money changes hands and the processes involved and can explain it to you without adding superstition to it. Love and respect this guest.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Katt williams is cool

[@babyhae02]

Such a interesting guest~ can’t wait for part 2 😊

[@trykarat]

i can't either! i haven't seen this - so i'm seeing this live with you and it's always different watching yourself vs going through it in the moment

[@ash_and_drew]

I know Eric through work and it feels like my worlds just collided in one video lol

[@trykarat]

oh hi there 🥰

[@taoist32]

He’s very articulate, a very slick salesman. Can talk a good game, just like Sam Bankman. Let’s how his company does over the next several years.

[@trykarat]

you're right that storytelling is much easier than actual execution - my cofounder and i are very aware that the odds are against us, and i try to be transparent that it might not work. but we're trying our best

[@adanserrato9881]

dawg eric drop'n the mf mic💯👏🏽

[@trykarat]

thank you haha

[@Mr.poopstains]

Bros energy is so dope. Hope Eric comes on as a guest in the future!

[@KJ-ek2ze]

This guy is so likable, loved his spirit. One of the best guests. Absolute star the way he just held court.

[@Jess-fb6bh]

I love his energy!

[@trykarat]

haha i had a protein drink right before because i was sleepy so glad it worked

[@jp_4797]

[@magnusmoulton6376]

Yo this guy is awesome, he really feels like he’s right at home asking awesome genuine questions and and answers

[@dreams-cz6yh]

If you told me he's the voice of the guy in How to Train Your Dragon, I'd believe you lol

[@jugemujugemu3728]

Yo this guy sounds smart and is goodlooking

[@brianz1]

[@danielchoi7139]

Fascinatingly intelligent and he speaks concretely and plainly. Eric is actually precise and gives granular detail. Need more on Eric end of guests on JK, and less crackpots like Matt Kim

[@JAMes_02]

Never seen Ryan without a hat in JK😂. Looking good

[@ShiitakeTakes]

This guy looks like the Chinese version of Narduwar. The hair, glasses and energy 😂

[@TwrkingNinja]

from the thumbnail i tought he was a singer

[@onka3895]

I could follow along with the conversation... but I'm definitely not smart enough to "do my own thing". 😅

[@FiveSubj3x6]

Eric your more listenworthy than most people on KZbin haha

[@erickdelgado4667]

Why is nick hosting?

[@bethnichols2875]

Nick isn't hosting. Ryan is hosting. He just got a haircut.

[@extra4542]

@@bethnichols2875you don’t say 🙄

[@bethnichols2875]

@@extra4542 Were you rolling your eyes so you could get a better look around the inside of your colon? Cuz you are certainly acting like a butthole right about now. 🤨

[@bethnichols2875]

​@@extra4542 Well look at you with the unnecessary eye roll. Bet you think it makes you seem clever and superior, when the truth of the matter is, you are neither. Nice try though. 😏

Eric sounds like Graham Stephen 😂

I was trying to figure out who Eric sounds like and NGL he kinda sounds like Blippi 😩💀💀Eric is pretty cool and brilliant! I liked him 😄

Just listening to the podcast, his voice sounds almost like Jimmy O Yang lol

My guy sounds like a dude that regretted his life choice but still optimistic

[@ericsellers7112]

He sounds like a Ted talk

[@Krenisphia]

We live in a society where nerds aren't just geeky cool, but genuinely cool now.
