The scariest thing to me, more than being broke for a little bit, is living a life that you don't want to live. I think a lot of people, the main thing is they're just scared to be broke for a little bit. They're like, well, how am I going to pay my bills? What am I going to do? And it's like, I mean, we were broke for a long time. We were struggling. We would sleep in cars.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We would sleep at fans' houses. You've got to go through that stage of being broke, having no money to kind of get to where you need to be, right? Yeah.

We were there when YouTube was probably its biggest. It was like Jake Paul was his probably biggest doing daily vlogs every day, David Dobrik, and then they had the Cloud House. So FaZe Banks, I don't know if you know him, but he's like the owner of FaZe. I give a lot of credit to him. He basically tweeted out at us and just said, hey, do you guys want to move into the cloud house?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And that was like him, Alyssa Violet, Rice Gum, Summer Rae, Wolfie, who was huge at the time. So these were like the biggest YouTubers and we're like nowhere on their level. And yeah, we land in L.A., start driving and we're driving up through the Hollywood Hills. And then we pull up to this massive mansion that we see in all these people's videos and And that was just, like, completely surreal.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos

Like, I couldn't even believe it. Just walking into that house. Like, it's a completely insane house. $100 million. And we got to live there for, like, six months. Rent free. Shout out FaZe Banks. He's a fucking legend. I owe him for life. But... Yeah, that was a crazy time. It was Hollywood shit, like house parties, and you never knew who was going to pull up.

Lil Uzi would pull up to your house, or rappers, all the girls. It was pretty crazy. It was a crazy time.

#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, so we stayed in LA for a little bit. We got our own house there too after that. We had like... The first house we ever signed a lease on too, I think we had like probably 20 people living in there in like an eight bedroom. So that was like our very first house. We had one room with like three or like two, three story bunk beds. So like six guys sleeping in a movie theater room. Wow.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, it was just like, it was kind of like the LA Nelk frat house. So that worked for a bit. And were they staff, friends? Staff and friends. I mean, I live with four of my boys that I grew up with here. But yeah, we probably have like seven of my boys that are on that work for us and do different things, whether it's social media or merch or different stuff that we have going on. But yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I miss it. It was pretty surreal. I mean, to live in a house like that and just... I feel like no one really gets to experience that, you know? It was a cool time, but I think, yeah, I think LA is just different now. And now it's more of a TikTok-y scene. We don't really need to be around there too much. There's a lot of good podcast guests there too, so we still make LA trips, but...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We moved to Miami about a year ago, and I fucking love it. Talk to me about the difference between LA, Miami. I mean, California is just a little too liberal for us, I think. I don't know. I feel like if we did our whole Trump thing during the election, I feel like we would have been getting grilled everywhere we went, right? We probably would have got shot up on Melrose and shit.

It's dangerous there too. I know my boy, Stiney, he got his car robbed. It's like turning into a dump. Out in the open? He just parked it and someone just robbed his car. It's pretty dangerous there.

Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So that type of shit has been happening just all over Canada. It feels like a Babylon Bee sketch. It doesn't feel like a real politician saying something. Yeah, that's what I mean. It's just like, you need someone that's going to stand up for Canada. And I think there's some good choices. The Pierre Polivare, I think he would do a really good job at kind of giving Canada a big comeback.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And you lose three hours. Yeah, so it's a red eye within the same country. A day to get there and a day to get back. Two travel days. So yeah, I think LA is just a lot different now. It's just not quite the same as it used to be.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, like health-wise, you mean? Yeah, I think this is the best place to kind of be healthy. It's a good HQ for us because we travel so much too. Most of our work is on the road, whether it's NELC videos or podcasts. So I like coming back here because you saw how it was this morning. This is all we do when we're home. It's like two different lives. Mm-hmm.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
One's on the road, and then when we're back here, like, I really don't do shit. I wake up, I fucking work out, and then I'll just chill, keep the business moving on my phone, keep videos moving, planning, golf, and then we go on the road again and it's chaos. Was there a moment that you broke through, do you think? With Nelk? Yeah. I don't think so.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I think the secret to Nelk and why we have such a cult following is that there's never been one moment that made us. It's just been like this the whole time. There was never like a huge thing. So I think when you blow up that fast, like these like... like Hawk Tua's or whoever have you, they come and go so fast, right?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
They get so famous so quickly and people become obsessed with them and then they're just gone. I think there's also- You got to build that foundation.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I agree. I agree with that too. But I think, I mean, you know how much work this is behind the scenes and how strategic you have to be too. For us, like we've been doing this for 10 years. So like you also learn along the way. Right. So now where I am, where I am, where the stakes are the highest. And like you said, there's more responsibility. I've learned so many lessons. Don't do this.

These people. overnight 24 hours they're super famous and they have no fucking clue how this business works how to discern who to trust who to let in they have no fucking clue so they're like they're pretty much they're gonna get screwed unless they're a genius right some of them last but most of them don't
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Exactly. And I've almost got screwed by managers and shit too.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So close, bro. Decisions that would not make me be here right now, for sure. Really? Yeah, for sure. We've almost signed with like... A few different managers that maybe even like we were really close to like giving like equity away. That would have like torched us. So like one thing, too, if people are listening, like you got to be very, very careful who you trust.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You know, like having a partner is like it's like a marriage. You got to like. You got to be careful who you get into business with.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I think so. Yeah, you got to move slow. I think, yeah, you got to get a team of people around you that you can kind of trust, whether it's friends, you know, someone that you can at least bounce ideas off. Because, yeah, I would say just move slow. Don't react too quickly to things. Sit back and just kind of see how things play out sometimes.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I never give a shit about what anyone else is doing, really. Maybe I'll get some inspiration from other people, but even some people in our crew will be like, yo, this person's doing this. We should be doing this. And I'm like... dude, just relax. Like this is, this game too is a marathon. It's not a sprint.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like the entire social media business is like, it is such a mental marathon that if you get caught up in like what other people are doing or, you know, you're going to lose it. And I think the most important thing with this is you got to keep like, you got to keep your mind right too.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
That's why I personally don't get caught up in like, if I need like a month off from like doing something or like videos, I don't get caught up in that because I feel like if people look back and
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Revenue? I mean, our merch business, I don't think anyone's ever really, I feel like we were putting up like Kylie Jenner numbers at that time. In the peak of our merch business, when we were uploading Nelk every week on the road, I think our biggest was 30 million gross in about 30 minutes. 30 million in revenue. We had 350,000 people waiting on the site at the time of the drop.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like even Shopify was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. And that's revenue, right? So that's- It's top line. That's one thing I've never really talked about too much too is, and I know my old partner, Jesse, would agree too, is that the revenue sounds nice, but when you talk about profit and how much we were spending on videos, maybe people that we pranked were suing us-
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
there's there is so much when you that number sounds amazing but in terms of what me and jesse were chipped away and able to pocket and you know like steve will do it he was getting paid directly off merch so what me and jesse were even able to pocket was like nowhere even near that it's that line about uh revenue is vanity profit is sanity
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Unless Canada becomes the 51st state, right? We don't know, but...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I don't even like talking about revenue too much, to be honest. It sounds great and it's great to brag about.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Correct. yeah that that's impressive for sure like we'd look at the map of the shopify i don't know if you've ever done like a live drop and you can see all the little it shows where people are on the site from in the entire world so you just see all these little dots and like you're seeing people in like india and like it was cool it was a really cool that era of nelk was like when was that
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's weird. Cause like, I just went home for Christmas and like, it's kind of like 50, 50, like a lot of people are actually like, yo, that would be kind of sick. Because I think a lot of Canadians want to come to the States. We love traveling here and stuff like that. But then obviously there's a lot of Canadians that's like, no, what the fuck? This is our country.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
This is before that. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. I mean, that's, that's what drew them to us was the type of numbers we were putting up. I don't, I don't think, I don't know. I don't want to say it, but I don't think anyone's ever really done what we've done with merch and like a YouTube business.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
um back then yeah it was all in-house every everything was in-house so we would like we had designers on payroll we had a bunch of different people that would source stuff from china um all the marketing was done by osgod who's like our creative genius he's the goat he edits all our videos
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
every everything was done in-house which was which was even crazier so when we would do a drop there'd be like 25 people and we'd all be in our milk frat house just all everyone has their laptops open and we're all watching the numbers for wi-fi connections but at that time it was crazy because like that was the only thing we were doing you know there was no there was no happy dad there was no brand deals not even any podcast
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
There was no podcast. The only thing we were doing was pushing merch. And our fans literally helped us build this because we weren't getting paid off YouTube at all. Why? We never got paid off YouTube. We were demonetized since day one for swearing, for alcohol, for drug references. Our videos never got monetized. So that was like, that's how we built our merch business.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like we were getting views.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, we weren't getting paid. So it was kind of a blessing in disguise. We had to get smart and build a business around our audience. So we weren't lying when we were looking into the lens and telling our fans like, hey guys, if you guys buy merch, like you're keeping the- I can eat dinner tonight. Yeah, I can eat dinner. And not only that, we can continue to make these videos. So that's how-
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It was like a reoccurring thing where our fans literally kind of helped us make all these videos.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Right away, we're just getting into it?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But I think Trump's just trolling when he says that type of shit. Well, you'd know. You've spent enough time with him. I would know. And I think I've spent a lot of time with him. But the last time that I was with him, which is when we flew on his plane right before the election-
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's just building hype. Yep. Everything in this business is just building hype, right? And once you learn how to do that, I feel like you can apply it to anything. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I don't know. I'm not the best at kind of defining the way that like my mind works sometimes. But I mean, building hype. Yeah, you can't go go wrong with just literally what it is. Building hype is like, you know, say it's dropping on this date and then maybe two days later, post something else about it. Remind people two days later, post something different and engaging. Remind them again.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then the day of, you know. Posting like a bunch of times before something happens. I think sometimes it is fire just hitting them with the sneak attack drop too, because that goes crazy sometimes. But yeah, you can't go wrong with building hype and doing multiple posts, building anticipation. Mm-hmm.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I got to see like a more real side of him, kind of like a button down, literally version, like he had his jacket off, he had a few buttons off and he was just himself.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
That's very interesting.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
That's a good way of defining it. Yeah, because the pregame is the best part of the night, for sure. When all the boys are just there before the girls pull up and you're just cranking beers, just chilling. So I can definitely relate to that, actually.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Most money I've spent. I'm not like a huge... I have a few watches and I have like a car, but I think, yeah, the most money I've spent, I guess, was probably... It's not like a purchase, but probably I retired my parents in the same day about four or five years ago. So that took about $700,000. So one year at Christmas, I just... I had enough money to do it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And like one thing about me is like a lot of people said their parents never supported them. But for me, I would be like...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
nowhere without my parents i got so fucking lucky and like my mom just says too like they just had blind faith like they just believed in me and they supported me so when i kind of had enough money to do that i just did it so that took about yeah like seven hundred thousand dollars to do that yeah that's a big and then my mom got my mom got carried away she i guess she has the free spirit like me she like invested it in like a bunch of like
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
she didn't fucking retire ethereum no she put it in she put it in the fucking housing market and trudeau fucked us over the last five years so now i gotta i just told her this christmas i gotta re-retire her until she can sell those houses so when when uh trudeau gets the fuck out she'll be able to sell the two houses that she bought and then uh yeah but that's probably i like spending my money more on like memories and like taking all my friends on like a trip what about some of the trips
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Um, I mean, we just had a, yeah, like, this week for New Year's, like, we just went, like, a bunch of different places. Like, we just did, like, fun shit with everyone, like, yachts and, like, stuff like that. Or, like, we'll go to Cancun and rent a house and just, like, chill. Stuff like that.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I don't want to say everything because it's just, you know, it's boys being boys at the same time. But I don't know. The way I can explain it is almost like he was like six beers deep, but he wasn't. Like, it was just like he was just having the best time. We were just laughing, cracking jokes, just boys being boys. So I think, and he gets a kick out of it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like, I feel like spending your money on memories and, like, I love bringing my friends with me and just, like, having, like, a sick-ass time. I feel like I spend too much money on that type of shit. But in terms of, like, watches or jewelry or...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
To be honest. Cause Steve will do it. Bought me my first car. He bought me an Audi RS7. So that was like 140 grand. Shout out to Steve. He's bought like 40 people cars. So then this, the Audi just shut down. Thing was a piece of shit over like four years later. So I was able to just trade that in as the down payment and then just get this new car.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
My business manager said it was a great investment to just finance it. So. It's actually the first car I've ever bought. Thank you, business manager.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
That's my favorite thing. It's just, cause you never forget that shit too, you know? And it's like, yeah, not everyone can do that shit. So to just, I don't know, that to me is just stuff you never forget. And it just makes you so happy having a good ass time with like your boys. Nothing beats that.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I mean, if they haven't been on captured on camera, it's probably for a reason.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So I probably can't really talk about them.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, definitely. Last week. We can't talk about, um, but on, I mean, best memories. I think like probably, yeah, one of the coolest things we ever did, I think, was probably the first time we went to Abu Dhabi. I was telling you about that. That to me was like one of the craziest thing.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It was the craziest two weeks I've ever had in my life because the UFC brought us out to Abu Dhabi for Khabib's last fight during the COVID bubble, the heat of COVID. So we had to quarantine for a total of like four days to get there. Um, and then that's when we met like Dana white for the very first time in Abu Dhabi, we, we got like a whole full scale treatment there.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then one week later we went on air force one with Dana too, and met Trump for the first time in 2020. So that was like, that's probably the coolest two weeks that like really changed my life. I think that just like, every time I think back to it, I'm just like, this is a mind fuck. Like, how did this happen to me? It's just, yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
There's been so, there's so much crazy shit with Nelk and like over the last 10 years, it's just so surreal. I can't even believe it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
getting a reaction out of people so i think when he sees this whole 51st state thing and he sees people like reacting to it he's gonna kind of go with it and i think it's also kind of like a negotiation tactic too you know to really i mean the canadian leaders are all responding to it it's such an absurd thing but at the same time it's becoming so real now that all these canadian leaders are actually having to respond with it that's why you know that the troll's gone far enough
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
A lot. I've looked up to Dana White, like, my whole life, honestly. Like, me and my dad would watch UFC, like, when I was on Spike TV, when it was just, like, it was nothing, you know? I've been watching since I was probably in, like, 8th grade. So I've looked up to Dana White, and the UFC is, like, way bigger now. I don't know how long you've been following it, but...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
it wasn't the ufc that it was today like right now it's just like it's such a big brand and stuff but they had to like battle to build that so i've kind of seen the evolution of the ufc as i'm sure a lot of people have listening and like this wasn't even like legal in states like it used to not be legal in new york like i watch these guys like battle state by state never give up
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And just build it into this incredible fucking brand that it is today. And you see all these other MMA organizations now. It's never going to compete with the UFC. The UFC is fucking unmatched. So I've always looked up to Dana White for that. And just what he's been able to achieve. You can see he's not a quitter.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
From the outside, and then when I met him, you can really see, like, that guy's not a fucking quitter. How so? Well, even, like, look how he handled COVID, right? That's what blew up the UFC so much. Like, every other sport shut down, UFC was the only one that kept going. Like, Dana White was the only commissioner of a sport that was able to keep that sport going all throughout the heat of COVID.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Not only keep it going, blow it the fuck up. COVID was actually a good thing for the UFC because it was the only thing on. And that guy, yeah, just behind the scenes too, he doesn't quit. And he'll call me and give me advice whenever something's going on that he'll see. And yeah, he's, like I told you before, he is just the most loyal fucking guy you will ever meet. It's so crazy.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
For us, he'll just... I don't know. It's almost like blind loyalty too in the same way. It's just like he's always there for us no matter what. And even sometimes he just doesn't even need to be. Even if I'm sick, he'll call me and be like, yo, you good, bro? You need an IV? He's just always there for us. So having a friend like him is... It's truly like insane.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I think – I mean, he's obviously a savage, right? Like, even though I'm friends with him, like, I'll literally watch almost every Dana White, like, post-UFC press conference because the guy is just a fucking savage. Like, if a media guy goes at him, he's going to fucking ream them out. You know what to get with Dana White, right? He's himself. He speaks his mind.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So with the UFC stuff, we don't we kind of stay away from that. We let him handle the business of that. We don't even really talk UFC business with Dana ever because he talks about that shit all the fucking time when we're with him. If we're talking business, we're talking about Happy Dad. We're talking about Howlerhead.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We're talking about the podcast or we're talking about maybe new ventures that we want to do together in the future. And we've never had, like, any type of partnership, like, with Dana or the UFC besides, like, some clothing. But there's no, like... Formal agreement. There's no formal agreement.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
He's so good at trolling that these guys are actually having to respond. Take it seriously. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Unless they're going to be the governor of Canada.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like, even with Happy Dad and Howlerhead, I know Dana had offered me, like, a little piece of Howlerhead back in the day. And, like, I kind of just told him in the most respectful way, like... I'm really appreciative of this, but like, I just want to do whatever you want me to do. And I don't want to take a percentage of your company.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like, I just want to remain friends and like, let's just help you. And he was on the same page. And I think, I think you're like really respected that. Yeah. So with Happy Dad, he's fucking helped us so much. Like we'll go and do Happy Dad Howlerhead tours together and stuff. So he's kind of like the uncle of Nelk, right? He's pretty much like a Nelk boy. The big scary uncle of Nelk.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
The big scary uncle that you don't fuck around with. Yeah. No, that guy's, he's a legend. Everyone that knows him in real life knows like how great of a person he is.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I don't know how he does it, but he does it. And that's why he's Dana White. He's just a fucking...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You could just tell he's a fucking slimeball.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
slippery demeanor yeah you think hey i don't fucking trust you guy and he fooled everyone with the free weed legalization when he first ran what's that i think i think that's like when he first ran it's just because he was going to legalize weed like that's why everyone loved them okay that never came to fruition no it did it's legal in canada okay yeah so i guess he did one delivered on a promise yeah uh but yeah it's watching dana operate especially at that level especially with the additional amount of scrutiny and all the rest of the stuff that's happened is
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, that guy's like... I mean, when that guy walks into a room, obviously he just soaks up, obviously all the attention in the room. That's one thing I noticed too. One thing I noticed about him too is like, yeah, he's very, he likes to get everybody's opinion, whether you're like his most trusted advisor or someone like me or someone that is just in the room.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
wild it's very very he just likes to win too one thing about him I know what drives him and it's proving people wrong and that's kind of one thing I think me and him have in common is we both like just like shutting people up You know, like whether it's fans in the comments or for him, it's the media. Shutting people up is a good fucking feeling. You know what I mean?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
When everyone's saying something and they're all counting you out, it just drives you and you're like, I just want to shut these people up so fucking badly. I think that's one thing that that drives both of us.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You know what I mean by that or no?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You need that sometimes I feel.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Canada is not the same country that I knew when I was growing up.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Oh, yeah. It's probably when Joe said something. Fuck.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Oh, yeah. One guy. Yeah. Of course.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But once they're in the cage, it's done. Yeah. I mean, it's the UFC.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
They obviously help put people in the cage that they want to. I mean, that's obvious, but like once you're in the cage, it's up to you. You know, they're, they're not fighting for you when you're in the cage. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I still don't really understand it. I mean, we still like chirp each other about it. I don't know what he was looking for. I mean, if you ask Drew, our guy, like he said that we owed him money and we just didn't. So he's a part of the pod.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Then he was part of the pod. Bob was doing his thing, right? He was Bob's and me and Bob are great friends now. And like, I hope we will remain great friends, hopefully. He's a great guy. He's talented. He's funny So I wanted to start a podcast and I was always thinking of who to start it with and I was like Yeah, I think this Bob guy's really funny, right? So we gave him a great fucking deal.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
He's always asking people, what do you think about this? What do you think about this? What do you think about this? What do you think about this? I noticed that he does that a lot. And I think he's just like subconsciously like kind of collect. It's like a poll he does. And I've noticed that he does that a lot. He's always asking people what they think of something.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I think it was like Seven seventy five hundred or ten thousand dollars an episode thirty percent of the ads and by the way He has no YouTube channel. He's launched like four unsuccessful pods at this point like four different ones and So it's like, Bob, just show up, make some good money. Let me keep this consistent. Let me bring the structure to this. So we're doing good.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then, yeah, I think I don't know if he had bad people in his ear that were kind of telling him stuff or whatever it was. But yeah, I don't know. I think he just thought for some reason we were screwing him. And or he was missing out on money that he just wasn't missing out on and. He just freaked out. I don't know. I don't know if he was at a bad place.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. I don't know if he was at a bad place in his life or something as well, too. But yeah, we weren't cool for a while. And that was like the first time I ever really went through some like I stayed quiet for a while, which I always will. I stay quiet until someone really fucking pushes me to the edge, you know, because I don't want to.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I never got big by like attacking people online or like airing out personal shit. So that's just not even though I could get views doing it, you know. that's just not me. So I kind of just had to sit back and wait till Bob kind of forced me to a point where I had to like, just kind of own his ass a little bit. And people kind of saw right through it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And we just came with the receipts and that was it. And yeah, we weren't, then he like sued us and shit. And it was a whole thing. We, we did like a thing that we like joke about now too. We had to do, um, a mediation, um, Which is, like, that was, like, part of the clause. Like, if there's ever a disagreement, you guys have to go into mediation. So we had to get onto a Zoom call.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Divorce counseling. Divorce counseling. So we had to get on, like, our side and his side with this lady, Judge Nagel, who we, like, joke about now. And, like, he got on and his side was just, they were, like, internally arguing, like, in front of, like, all of us. It was just, like, it was a complete mess.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And the judge told us, she came into our room and told us, like, listen, I'm not going to lead a horse to water. But they have absolutely no case against you guys whatsoever. Like the judge told us that. I don't even know if she was supposed to. But that's what she told us. So to me, the whole thing was just hilarious. But we both wasted legal money for no reason. So we eventually came to...
Modern Wisdom

just agreement to drop it. And I was like, Bob, if you want to come on the pod, whenever, whenever you want, like come promote whatever you want. You can bring ads on the podcast if you want, like, just like any other guests, you know, like if Wiz Khalifa comes on and he wants to talk about his weed, go ahead. But he hasn't, he's been on the pod and he hasn't brought one single ad.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then I think that's how he does. kind of makes decisions as well.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So he's just, but he's back on the pod now. He's, he's back on like in and out. Yeah. I mean, we're cool. It was kind of just... I don't know. We'll see what happens. But he's not back on like full time. He's just kind of in and out. But yeah, it was a very... It was an interesting situation.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I don't enjoy that shit. I know everyone on the internet now, it's all about drama. Correct. And we could start drama with people too or whoever it is, but that's just not how we got big. We've never started drama with people. It's always just been about making funny shit. So for me, any opportunity we have to like, I don't know, I just don't look to that to get clout or views. That's just not me.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. Like that was, that was when I was just pushed to the edge, you know? So like, I'm all, I'm just going to stay quiet until it's to the point where I have to defend myself. Like I don't want to, but that's kind of the way that I work.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, drama. Drama's huge on the internet. All people want to see is people fight and fucking just go at each other.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like, that's my... It's like the streamers, the whole streamers, it's a lot about beef and stuff like that.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, the clip era, I feel like... The clipping error that we're in kind of changed that, right? It's so quick, it's so fast.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's the most important... I don't know why we're like that, but we just love to see negative shit about the human brain.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
dichotomy thing going on yeah he definitely he definitely loves himself there's there's no question about that but you're right yeah exactly if you're at a golf course he's talking to like the back shop guys like he's a people's person which which i find very interesting i think that's one of his his little secrets and you guys got kind of involved in politics a little bit Yeah, we did.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, that shit got crazy views, which is, I watched it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It just sucks you in. Yeah, it's just human nature, I guess. I don't know why. We like to see negative shit about each other.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It sucks, bro. I mean, you know, like Nelk's not the same without Steve. Like there's no... And you can't show him on YouTube. There's no question about it. I mean, Steve will do it was like... He was like the biggest one in Nelk. I mean, he was bigger than me at the time, too. So, yeah, it's a very weird situation. I don't quite understand it. I mean...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I guess he was banned for putting a gambling link in his URL, but I don't know. I think that was just an excuse. Something deeper going on? To be honest, yeah. I mean, he was repping Trump pretty hard at the time, and that was a different time back then, too. And then Steve is just like a lot of people... I don't know if people know, but he is one of the most naturally funny guys in his own way.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
He has very dark humor. And I personally love his dark humor too. I think it's hilarious. But I guess there's just certain shit that you just can't say on YouTube. You know what I'm saying? So... I think YouTube was seeing like some of his dark humor shit and they're like, this is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And one thing I've learned from YouTube too is they don't, YouTube doesn't like negative press about YouTubers YouTube. Cause that's going to fuck their right. Right. Like their advertisers don't like that press too. So I know we learned that, um, during COVID, um,
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
during covid we were like kind of traveling still making videos and we showed up to a college um to film something and we didn't even post any things ourselves like we just like went to the college and we were filming but other people were taking snapchats of us And through that, it gained a huge crowd.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So it looked, all the articles were YouTubers host mass gathering, YouTubers this, YouTubers that. And we got like a manual email from YouTube, which you never get. You always know when it's like automated, right? And this said like, hey, Nelk Boys, which is like Nelk Boys is not even on our channel at YouTube at all. It's like Nelk.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We, yeah, we worked with like an organization called Send the Vote. So they were like a bipartisan organization and it was just about helping people register to vote. So we kind of pushed that on our like social media and stuff because obviously NELC, you know, we kind of own that male 18 to 35 population.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
so and it was a custom email that said you guys need to watch your off off platform responsibility which basically means like we're giving you guys one last warning before you we delete you or they're like or your channel's deleted so at that time this was and we're like jesus like we're walking on eggshells so i think since i've had that experience it's kind of the at the end of the day they're just trying to make money in that youtube office right so if they're looking at steve and they're saying this guy's making a bunch of
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
crazy jokes flying close to the sun flying and probably flying in the sun he flies in the fucking sun straight through it yeah like his videos were fucking hilarious like and the jokes that he makes are fucking hilarious so he was flying in the sun for sure probably right in the fucking center and I think I think they just used the gambling thing as an excuse to be honest yeah
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then I think Steve knows probably he probably could have handled after the strategy of after getting deleted. He probably could have handled it a bit more diplomatic and strategic. But still, I think, I mean, for them to take his channel down is just like all of them is fucking crazy. And then not only that, to tell us that we can't even have him in our videos. So the editors.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Well, then now it's created this weird thing where it's like Steve also when I met when it's created this weird thing where Steve's around and he obviously wants, you know, he wants Nelk to be successful, too. And he wants Nelk to keep going. He's not the guy that's like, yo, put me in the shit. Put me in the shit. That's not him. Right. Our ultimate goal was Steve.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
When I first met him, I feel like was to just kind of like help him and make him financially successful. And our main goal was to start this, Happy Dad. So that's Steve. Steve and mine's ultimate goal is to build Happy Dad up into a billion dollar company. So Steve wants obviously Nelk to be successful. He wants us to keep pushing Happy Dad. But
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I really think that they at least need to start with letting him be in milk videos or something else. And it's weird because he'll go on other people's channels and they won't pick on those channels. But for some reason, why is it only us?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, we were told very specifically.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's fucked. Yeah. And I think it's good. You can even bring Tate on, you know, the most. Tate gets deleted on our shit too. Okay. Which is weird. Maybe you can't. Yeah. Full send podcast. Tate got deleted. But I know what you mean. Yeah. It's just your Trump one got taken down as well. Right. The first one. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But we need to, I think we need in closing that we need to like, they should let his channel come back. I think eventually it's been long enough. And then to start, they should let him be in like, or they like, they don't let him be in Bradley Martin's content. Like it's fucked. Like they got to let him be on YouTube now. Like the culture is shifting now too.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So, yeah, we were responsible for like hundreds of thousands of people registering to vote, which was pretty crazy. Like after the election, like people were coming up to me on the street and like thanking me. Like I'd be at the gym and people like people like walking up to me being like, yo, thank you. Like, thank you for what you did. Like, it was kind of like weird, you know, I don't know.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I mean, if you're the commander-in-chief...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I see it. And I kind of saw it coming too. And like, I think that's what people don't get too, is like at the end of the day, these are all companies that just want to make money. Like whether it's YouTube or Facebook meta, right? Like, I don't, I feel like it's not really a personal vendetta they have against these people.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's just like, they're sitting in a boardroom and they're trying to figure out how to make money. Right. So they're going to follow, they're going to follow the money. So now like, obviously Zuck sees what's happening with X and, He's smart too. And at the end of the day, it's a W for everyone. What was about to happen if Trump didn't win was fucking scary.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We were about to lose free speech. I think we would have lost it completely. I mean, it's hard to imagine, but thank God he won and the way that he won reflected where culturally we're at. But yeah, I think Zuck obviously... he probably sick of just getting chirped all the time too, at the same time too, right? Like Elon Musk gets to be the man and gets all this praise.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And like, everyone's always ripping on Zuck and Zuck's probably just like, fuck, I want to be the man too, like Elon. But I think it was very smart. I mean, there's no better person again to bring on than Dana. I think that was, that's so smart. Cause Dana's always going to be for the people. Um, he loves social media too.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like he gets a kick out of just like seeing, like, he's always showing us numbers and stuff too. Like we're sending like our biggest reels that do well and shit. So he understands social media and then, yeah, he's, he's for the people. He's always going to be for, uh, for free speech, like UFC is for free speech. So yeah, I think Zuck just, uh, He had no choice.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I know. I think it was just that. I think he just wanted to like, I think he just wants to be kind of cool, right? Boys club. Yeah. He wants to join the boys club. We'll see. We'll let him in. Right.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I just feel so normal. And we're just kind of doing what our heart felt like. We were obviously big Trump supporters. Yeah. So yeah, that whole election was crazy. And then Dana White shouted us out in that, um, the post election speech. Like we were the first ones to get shouted out. So that whole thing was just surreal. And I'm from Canada. So like, I'm not even, I can't even vote.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yes, yes. That older guy that's like, I think he's like the CEO or something.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But yeah, YouTube, that's interesting.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
you gotta you gotta take some blame for sure and yeah i think all canadians agree it's just it's just a totally different place how so i think canada just lost its sense of identity a little bit you know i think being a little too politically correct you know whether it's not letting people say merry christmas or we have a poppy that people wear every november remembrance day which is supposed to like support the fallen troops
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
There's no purity. They're following the money. They have no choice. I mean, the election was like a reflection of where society's at. Like, they have to be idiots not to like see like, holy shit, we got to adjust. But at the end of the day... It's a W for society.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
What? What do you mean they're enabling it?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So that's a new thing they're doing, they just said?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I mean, yeah, if you're Zuck, you got to be like, he's obviously not an idiot, but you got to be a complete tool to not see where, like he has no choice. Like it's pretty obvious, right? I mean, and they're going to have to make all those adjustments. I mean, yeah, I don't know why people don't see it. People are just going to follow the money always, right?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I mean, I really fucking like enjoy what we do, honestly. Like I really do. And like I'll go through waves of maybe there's a bad video or there's a bad moment on social media. But for the most part, like I really fucking love this shit. Like I started doing this for fun, just making videos, uploading them, not making any money. And I was making like.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I can't even vote. So like to me, for me to get shout out, shouted out in the post election speech. Yeah. My parents are like, what the fuck? Everyone's just like, this is a fucking simulation.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
all types of videos like I wanted to be a director when I was younger so I was making like short films that were serious I was making skits and then we were doing pranks I just loved creating like thinking of something filming it I would edit it myself post it and then you get that It's like entertaining. You know, you get that reaction back from people saying they loved it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's like a good feeling. So I don't think I've lost that whatsoever. You know, even our like our latest milk video was telling you like the tribe video we did. It was just fun. Like the whole process from thinking of the idea to planning it, like getting on the call with Forrest and talking about doing it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
To traveling there to filming it and then we get home sitting with the editors editing it and you know we're choosing the music we're choosing the font we're choosing just the storyline and then posting it and getting all that great feedback watching the numbers go crazy the entire process.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
is fun and i don't i mean i don't know what else i would be i would be doing i don't want to go back and work at the golf course um that's one thing i do really love it and then yeah i mean Obviously want to be like financially free. I think, you know, I don't, I don't know if we can do milk forever.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Maybe we can, like, maybe it's like we have kids and we're still doing like dad's trips or some shit and we're bringing the babies and stuff.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
There you go. There you go. Oh yeah. We're going to definitely keep going. But yeah, I mean, it would be with happy dad. Our ultimate goal is to build it into a billion dollar business. And yeah, so there's two sides to it. There's just the content and then happy dad is our main.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I love I think that's one thing that like my partner like John tells me too is like I can just switch from like a creative side to like a business side like like that like with a light switch you know. So I love like being completely creative and like making a video. And then I also love getting strategic and like helping build a business.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Well, that's what we saw this election, right? I guess, yeah, all the old news networks now are fascinated. And I had to do a bunch of interviews after that election too, and they're all fascinated with... How did the internet win this election? Why are young people so obsessed with the internet? Why do they watch podcasts? These people are old. They have no fucking clue what you and I are doing.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So it's almost like I have two hats that I get to wear and I'm constantly switching them, which I think fucks with my mind a little bit too. And then sometimes I got to babysit all these fuckers too. Like, I don't know if you know, Stiney, all like all these guys are fucked. I'm fucked too. But so there's a few different hats that I have to wear.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. Of course. It's also like, just don't make me be a buzzkill. I don't want to fucking have to rip you a new one. I don't want to have to fucking rip you a new one. The reason you're stepping in to do it is because you haven't done the thing that I asked you to do. But some people just don't learn unless you fucking rip them a new asshole. So it's like...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But it does frustrate me and it gets annoying. So now some things I just kind of let go. I'm kind of only focused on what affects Nelk. I've learned I also can't help everybody. I can tell you something once. I could tell you something twice. If you're going to keep doing it, that's going to be up to you. You know what I'm saying?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
There's not enough time in my day to babysit everyone's personal lives. I care about people that are close to me a lot too. I try to help people as much as I can, but yeah, it gets, there's only so much time in a day at the end of the day, people are going to do what they kind of want to do.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
They really don't. For us, it makes so much sense. Trump goes on Joe Rogan. Obviously, that's going to be big. But for them, they're like, why was that Joe Rogan thing so big? They're that stupid.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
A hundred percent. It comes with the territory. I would never complain about it. It just, yeah, I've, that's something kind of that I've had to deal with more recently as our business has grown as like you said, yeah, the, the stakes are higher now there's more responsibility. So back then when we're just fucking around and we were, you know, now it's the stakes are higher.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So there's a lot more on the line. There's a lot more on the line.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I don't want to sound like a bitch or like complaining. Cause like they're like what I do. I'm so fucking grateful for like my life and my job and stuff. But I mean, if there's one thing that just burns me out, maybe it's just traveling like a lot all the time. The lack of a, the lack of a routine and like structure that, that can burn me out. Like if we're traveling all the time, um,
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Back when we were probably, like, drinking a lot and partying, that was starting to burn me out a lot. Starting to lose it a little bit, maybe, but... How so? Not, like, lose it, but just... I mean, as you get older, bro, too, we were talking about it, too. Like, bro, I obviously just can't fucking... I can't drink like I used to.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like, obviously, when I'm 21, I didn't even know what a hangover was. I'm 30 now, so I get hung like a fucking... It feels like I got hit by a bus, you know? So... I think it's just... It's that, too. So when we're part... If we're, like, traveling and drinking a lot, too, that can burn me out. I love... I mean, I love having a routine, too. Like, when I'm in Miami and I'm just on my shit, like...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Bro, I feel like we all knew it was going to happen. But yeah, just to see it finally go down, it's just, it's refreshing. I mean, like you guys know, I grew up in Canada. I moved to the States about, 10 years ago when I was around 20. I'm 30 now. And it's just like the last 10 years, what's happened has just been devastating, honestly.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Just exactly what we did this morning, dialed, working out. That feels really, really good to me now. The older I get, I think the simple things just become more and more important. And just taking care of yourself, keeping your mind right. So if there's one thing, it's just that. It's just the traveling sometimes burns you out.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, maybe you just get low or you kind of question like, oh, do I want to do this? Like, what's the point of this anymore? You know, I've gone through phases like that where it's just like, yeah, you're just like, why do I need to do this? You know, what if...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But I think those are just, like, little funks that everybody has, and you kind of just gotta break out of them, and you gotta kind of, like, look at stuff from, like, an outside perspective, too. Yeah, I think... I'm so grateful to have this life and like everything I've built.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So if you think about other people's lives or what they have or what their problems are compared to yours, I find that's like a great thing I do sometimes just whenever you're complaining about something, like really take a look at what you're fucking complaining about compared to other people's problems.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So anytime I find myself in a funk, I'll kind of just think of that and be like, yo, this is my problem compared to like,
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
someone else's problem like look around me look what i've got not even material wise like i have fucking a great family i have fucking great friends i have a great life like some people don't have that so all the stuff you kind of take for granted sometimes not everyone has how much do you rely on the sort of group around you do you think you could do everything you couldn't do this on your own
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Nah, the group we have right now is like, fucking really, really solid. Like, obviously, I have Gabe, who's like, my assistant, like, he's the best, like, we've become best friends, too. And he's like, there's no one better than him in anything.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
yeah I mean Ozgod who edits all our videos Sean Haney Brett Judd there's just like a whole crew of like our whole team is just like so good and I think that's what's as we get bigger and bigger, that's what's really important. And it's like having this team, it's never a one man army for sure. And yeah, now like the crew we have, it's like, we're all great friends.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We hang out, like we work out, we party. So I was telling you teams key.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I think we probably take the knowledge that you and I have for granted, right? Hugely. It's just, yeah, it's so normal. It's so a part of our everyday lives. But yeah, especially for older people, they just have... they have no clue what's going on.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I agree. Yeah, no, we, the crew we have right now is like, we're all just, we're all just friends. So it's like, yeah, we celebrate the good times. We battle through the bad times. And yeah, there's a lot of like, it's like a friend group. So it's like you're working and you're also having fun.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So some things aren't done the most professionally, but I think that's, that's always been the magic of NELC and like what we've created. Like you never, even sometimes maybe we got a little bit too corporate and stuff too. Like that never fucking happened. That never works, I don't think. Like, for content, like, we got an office in OC for a bit.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And not that it, like, killed our content for anything. It was just, like, a waste of money for Nelk. Happy Dad completely took over that office because they needed the space anyway, but...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
for us it's way better for me like now the editing office you saw is like right over there i don't want to fucking drive to the office every day like you know this is the way that we've always done it it's like i wake up i can just go walk over there after the fucking cold tub and be like what's good how's the video looking boys and i can just go sit with them for 10 minutes and we just like boom we just did like two hours worth of work like as i was coming back to like shower
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I think that works in a business, obviously, like these businesses, obviously you need that. But I think in a creative business and obviously filming or a YouTube crew, any of that typical shit I find... It doesn't work. You got to do it your way. You got to keep it fun. You got to keep it. You got to keep good energy. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You know, the second people don't want to be there, it's not going to be good.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
It's very powerful what we have. Obviously, we both own our like, it's almost like we own our own network, right? Like we do. So we're in a good spot.

Yeah, I mean, I think last year I got a little bit comfortable maybe for a couple different reasons. But I think this year, even just after the reaction of our last video, the Nelk channel is so fucking unique, what we have. Even the videos at 5 mil or something, that's a lot of fucking views for a YouTube video. Not a lot of people are getting views like that in our genre.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Obviously, MrBeast gets crazy numbers, but... for our genre, that's awesome to me. And I had such a great time doing that. So a lot of people have been asking for us to upload more, which I want to get- Slightly tough if you're going to an uncontacted tribe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I want to get back into-

#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
trying to do a lot more nelp videos for sure and then keeping the podcast going too we um next week we're going to ufcla so we're going to do like a pod with all those with all those guys and we got a couple good guests in the works and then we got the inauguration so we'll probably we'll have a lot of you able to film at the inauguration we're trying to
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We want to try to make an inauguration video for NELC, but we'll see.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
You can't just bring everybody. It'll be me and Stiney, and then it'll be Osgod, our filmer, and then probably Gabe. Gabe will be in charge of suits.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
He's dressing you? He wants to be in charge of suits, though. Okay, but you're in charge of suits. It's not like a job we throw on him. Okay, well, we'll see. Yeah, that'll be cool. But yeah, no, this year we just want to kill it with content. Shorts, NELC, Full Sim Pod.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
The first thing we'll think of is... I guess you think of it at the same time, but what's going to make a good video, obviously, but then you have to think of a good title and thumbnail. I mean, you know how it works, but that's the main thing. So if you think of a good idea, then the next thing you think of is, okay, well, what's the title and thumbnail?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then if we can't think of that, you don't really have... A full concept, you know, what makes it is the title and thumbnail and then actually good quality content. Yeah. But title and thumbnails, everything on YouTube. Right. I mean, that's the very first thing you should kind of be thinking about. And yeah, just what's going to be digestible to like a large audience.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Our whole team likes getting views too. Like, I think that's what we want to make a video and what's going to get the most fucking hype. What's going to get the most fucking views. Like that's what really motivates like me, Salim, Stiney, everybody on our team. What's just going to like make noise.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
how much of a obligation do you have or is it can you still just i'm here having fun just doing my thing bro like i don't know if you reach a couple hundred million people a month that yeah it changes the the key to nelk has always just been as best as we can just trying to stay true to like what i think and what i think is funny like i actually like trump that's why i fucking supported him i didn't do it for any other reason you know what i'm saying
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Do you know? I don't even, I'm not a fucking huge YouTube analytics guy, honestly. I let like our guy Judd's like super into that. Like he'll be like, bro, this short had fucking 110% retention. I'm like, dude. Yeah. Like I don't really, I'm not a huge YouTube analytics guy, but yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. Yeah. For sure.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
YouTube should do more shit like that, right? It would be so good. Because they've lost like that. I don't know. Like, yeah, there's not really that much point of even having an account that much, right? Like before it was all about subscribers and, you know, you would subscribe to people. Like it kind of sucks now too. I don't know if you noticed, but it's a lot harder to gain subs now, right?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Way harder. I mean, there's no point of subscribing to someone.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
YouTube used to be all about your subscriptions.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I like the fact that- They need to add, they need to bring like a Dana White on for like, they should do something like that. They should bring someone on and like add some stuff like that.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. Yeah. I know. I mean, we're, John is pretty tight with, he helps out a lot with X and yeah, they're definitely what Elon's doing is putting pressure on every other social media network, you know? Because they have to follow suit. I've actually even noticed... YouTube is... And I want to give credit to YouTube because we shit on them a lot. But at the end of the day, YouTube is fucking great.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And they've been a lot more lenient, I've noticed. I've noticed since X, I don't think we've gotten an age restriction and like... A long-ass time. We used to upload everything. Age-restricted, age-restricted, age-restricted. Like, now, like, I noticed... Yeah, I think it was during the time of X2. Like, we would do a podcast with, like, Donald Trump Jr.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And, like, he's just going off about, like, trans and stuff like that. Like, usually that would be, like, yo, an absolute no-go. And just, like, no age restriction, no nothing. So I started to really notice, like, YouTube is... They're following suit as well. They're going to have to follow the money. Everyone's going to have to follow the money. I've noticed they've been way less picky on us.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Uh-huh. I watch it and even some people on our team are like, should we do this? Should we stream? I just think that, I don't know...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
If I didn't like him, I wouldn't have supported him. It's as simple as that. So I try to stick to that as much as I possibly can. But yeah, obviously, as you get bigger, I guess there is more responsibility. But we're so lucky with our fan base that we've always been like the quote unquote, like bad guys or like scumbags.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
streaming is a that's a big commitment you know and i think to like back in the day when we were younger and we were drinking five times a week to make a video every week i think we probably could have competed in that streaming space but the amount of work that these guys are putting in now for content i mean they're streaming what six days a week like i was like kai sanat too he's like what 21 like he's fucking yeah they're putting in a lot of work streaming's not the type of thing
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
um that you can just do it once a week like you got to be streaming 30 to whatever hours a week so i just know how content gets done on the milk side it's a little more wilder there's there's drinking involved and there's things that need to be cut out there's things that oh fuck yeah that's a whole different story yeah a live stream with milk depending on the video would be yeah we might be fucked on that honestly
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
But yeah, it's just it's it's a grind for sure. And I think if in like 2017, I think we would have been able to like destroy that space for sure. Like when we were just young and not even thinking. But I don't know. I just like the YouTube stuff. I like making more of like a finished product and like polishing our videos. And I just love the style that we do.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Or probably like...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
i'll probably mostly like think of the ideas or we just have a group chat with everyone too that we're just always spitballing shit but yeah i'll kind of i'll press play on the video and tell them like all right i look like we all like this idea everyone like it all right boom we're doing it and then we have a producer griffin um he used to do some stuff on like the eric andre show he's a beast and then gabe too gabe and brett they'll do all the flights all the logistics and
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So I just, my job now is like, I press play and I dish it off to them and they're all on top of logistics. Austin and Sean will handle any video. No, we used to do everything back in the day. I mean, I used to edit the videos myself back in the day. So I I've had a hat. I was my own assistant back in the day.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like if there was a prop that needed to get it, I would have to go to three different Halloween stores to find the costume. So I've like played all those hats that everyone's doing now. So I kind of know what needs to be done. That's why when I'm hiring them too, I'm kind of scrutinizing. I know exactly what needs to be done in each situation, but no, we have a fucking all-star team. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So when we press play on a video, it's like bang, bang, bang. There's like no fucking bullshit. That's one thing like Gabe knows too. There's no bullshit when it comes to like...
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
videos like we did a bachelor video recently with steiny as the bachelor and that was like huge budget we did like five days we did like miami nashville and cancun and it was just like completely dialed to a t so that's one thing i have no complaints about is our our video process is like 10 out of 10 that's why i'm just like yeah we got to run this shit up on milk yeah
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We have the system and it's just like such a powerful channel. People want more videos. I'm fired up. That's sick. Yeah.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So it's not like we were like Jake Paul or like Logan Paul or like David Dobrik that were more... Squeaky clean. Squeaky clean. You know what I mean? And you're waiting. What did you expect? You're waiting for them to make a mistake. Like they're perfect. And then boom, when they make a mistake, they get canceled. For us, we've just been scumbags.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Any more drops? Any other shit that people need to check out? Not really. Just watch us this year. I mean, I just talked a big game. So everyone watching, if we don't do it, come chirp me. Come fucking give me shit. Stay on our asses. I love it.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We've never been good guys. Like we've been getting arrested since 10 years ago. We've been fucking with people, messing with people. So if anything, we've gotten like, we've actually, yeah, we've improved as people. We're growing, we're maturing. So I think that's one thing that I'm, always feel blessed with too is that, yeah, Our fans just don't really give a shit.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We set such low expectations. That's the key. Set low expectations. Then you can't ever get worse. Then you can never fuck up.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Yeah. It's like, we just do prank YouTube. But all those guys were still like, like in terms of partying, I feel like we were like the first people to ever show like alcohol, even in like really YouTube. Like the first time we went to LA, I think like, yeah, no one really showed anything. But behind the scenes, they were obviously doing the same shit, right? Or worse.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like all the squeaky clean kids were the ones like- That you'd see rip and blow in the fucking Hollywood Hills bathrooms and shit. I swear to God. So I was like, so they're doing it behind the camera, but they have to put on this good boy image, which kind of fucks them.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Just things that make us Canadian and little bits of Canadian culture are just getting lost and stuff like that. There's obviously just a lot of immigration. I think immigration could have been done a little better. But yeah, I think we're going to see something in Canada really good. I'm really optimistic about it. I think you see... It's happening all over the world, right? Not just the US.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Talk to me about... Gator tail. We have a lot of the same lingo.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
I mean, yeah, the first trying to think of the first time I, Yeah, the first time it was me and Jesse at the time. We had, I believe we road tripped there from Toronto to LA. So 36 hour drive in his like shitty car. We called it the toaster. It was like a Nissan, like one of those boxy ass cars. We had like a cooler of food. Just like we packed a bunch of food, put it in the cooler.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Cause like we were dead broke at the time too. And we road tripped to VidCon. Um, and his, we would stay at fans houses along the way too. So we just post on Snapchat and say like, Hey, who wants to, we're going to be in St. Louis tonight. We need to crash somewhere. And then I would like add them on snap. I'd FaceTime the people, like make sure they weren't like a fucking psycho.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And we ended up staying at over like probably 30 fans houses throughout like our little trips and none of them were ever weird. And then his car broke down in like the middle of the desert. We got stuck there for a week and like we posted again on Snapchat and fans had to come pick us up from Palm Springs.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
and drive us to la um and then we made it to vidcon so that was like our first time kind of being around like other youtubers and seeing like people that were like really poppin successful i think that was at the time like phase like we met like all those guys um and i remember those guys came up to us too like someone phase adapt he was like really really big at the time and
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And he told us like, yo, we watch your videos like every night when we're high and shit. And like just to see like respect from other big YouTubers at the time, I think that really motivated us. So after that, for the next probably five years, we would do like we would be in Canada. I was working at a golf course. So I worked like I did events. I did the back shop and I would just save up money.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And then we would do a trip to L.A. for like three months, however long we could afford. Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. Go back to Canada. Try to keep it going. And that went on for like five years until we officially moved to L.A. Yeah. So it was like, it was a crazy time.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And every time we'd go home to Canada, things would kind of slow down a little bit, you know, cause you're living at your parents' house. Um, your parents are kind of in your ear a little bit. My parents were super supportive, but I know Jesse's parents were a little bit in his ear. Um, but yeah, when we got out to LA the very first time, full-time, it was like definitely a big game changer for us.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Did going back home to Canada feel like real life, or did LA feel like... I guess at the time, probably going back to LA felt like real life, I think. And I guess that's kind of sad in a way, right? But yeah, you kind of just outgrow it a little bit, I think. And I was so blessed to grow up in Canada. The way I grew up was just completely normal, middle-class life.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
Like just playing street hockey every day after school, running way too much Call of Duty, just normal shit, you know? So, but then you kind of just outgrow it. And I think, yeah, we'd go home and things would just kind of slow down. Everyone around you is kind of You know, they're all in university too.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
We saw the results of this election. And I think Canada is going to be following suit. I think Canada is in for a big comeback. I'm really excited about it. You're bullish on Canada? I'm bullish on Canada, yeah. I think it's going to make a big comeback. I think Trudeau is just a complete fucking loser. Like, I don't know. I don't know what's up with that guy.
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
So then when you go to your friends' houses, like their parents are asking you like, oh, like, what are your plans? Like, what are you doing? Like, are you going to go back to school? Like you're kind of everywhere you go, you're kind of hit with that question. Like, oh, are you going to school? What are you doing? What's your plan?
Modern Wisdom
#892 - Kyle Forgeard - The Rise Of NELK, Donald Trump & Global Chaos
And I think that kind of subconsciously like eats at you a little bit too.
