Who said what
“I'll do like, uh, the daily stoic, which is like one page. Um, I'm reading Robert green daily laws, but I feel like Robert green is kind of manipulative. So like, I'm kind of not reading that as much, but I love my daily.”

“Robert Green, they say this about his book, 48 Laws of Power. Like I think one of the like marketing schticks, which I don't know if he completely made up or is true and then he used it to like, to market his book but it was, this book is banned from prisons. It's the best. Because they don't want the prisons to like, the prisoners to be able to like, overtake prison. It's so powerful. It's so powerful that it's banned in prisons is, ah, just perfect marketing.”
