Law Smith
2:32
Mixing over there mixing some beats like that. Was that a real mixed beat?
2
Speaker 2
2:37
Yes. Totally meant to do it. And I thought it was rad. rad is the word of the day.
Law Smith
2:42
I thought you're gonna surprise me to sound like, I'm just gonna transition into something I've been working on. Should I be working on shit? I don't know. No, I don't know. I thought you're like, Hey, this is my debut of a song I've been working on. There's no, I don't even make that song that we have. I just kind of mushed it together. Hey, that's, I mean, isn't that what being a DJ is? Yeah, come on. You're in a little bit. I can tell. That's my headphones or not. We'll get it. Yeah, there we go on the fly like that. Yeah. Hold it. You're just gonna hold it for 30 minutes. Okay, go 30 minutes. Just kidding. I'll go for an hour. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Someone's sometimes with those ox jacks. How about that? That's worse. Now. It's worse now. We're good. All right. We're good. No sound effects. Look why. Look at the producer on the fly. It's pretty good. Not bad. give a shit. Now, we had both our guests had to reschedule the day. No, we were going to record too. And so now we're just like, Hmm, what do we talk about again? Well, I'm sure there's a myriad of things that because we've had a guest on pretty consistently every episode except for the one stop gap one we just had to get in there. Yeah, I was listening to Adam curry on Joe Rogan talk about consistency of putting it out and I was like,
2
Speaker 2
4:06
okay, was that what you put in slack that the one in the topics well read one Yeah. What is the only thing any look up
Law Smith
4:12
one of the things that he created his podcast index.org I believe Yeah, basically, really cool idea. You know, how like, podcasts are starting to become recognized by kind of big media companies. Hollywood stuff so they're, you know, you see a lot of like, on the charts you see like a celebrity to start a podcast it's like number one right somehow and you're like what Russell Brand that that is all Dude, that's been dude for a while, like,
2
Speaker 2
4:43
those are that mean? Do they even have to Duke it? Again, somebody puts out a pocket like the big names they put it out and it does become very popular,
Law Smith
4:50
you know, but it's like hand picked. Like it's it fits a narrative I would say if you really want to look at it from like, macro view or Like an amalgam of looking at, who's like new podcast gets out there. And it's like, it's the placate, placating to like, Alright, we love trans people, we're gonna, we're gonna promote the newest trans, like, podcast out there and there'll be like rising charts, and then just gained steam from there. Okay, all that stuff like handpicked like, PR wise. Okay. I guess that aside, and look, we're the number one trans podcast for business, comedy podcast, right? All three of those tags can attract. We have the biggest trends audience for business slash comedy podcasts that is a fad. Absolute undeniable fact. Right. We didn't just win 2020 one's best podcast streaming entertainment studio, eastern United States of America by media innovator awards. 2020 hosted by corporate vision magazine for nothing. Yeah, right. Right. Agree. So podcasts index.org. He was talking about, you know, these are open source apps they have on there. So that's the absolute ascent. And then the podcast index idea is basically like, there is an issue with what is reporting? No, no, the donation. The donation button. The donation app does not pay pal. But it's Patreon. Yes. patreon has started started shutting down certain podcasts they don't like like YouTube. So YouTube has the the good boy clock at 10 minutes, where you you can't cuss? Right. We're talking about anything graphic. And then if you talk about anything about COVID or inoculations or any of that they'll de monetize you like, without even just even listening to it. Right with no human kind of QA. And I feel like in a suit, a certain level of video has over 100,000 views. Maybe Maybe you could put someone on that right quality control that. I know. Now we'll just use the AI. It's a I guess it's easier because they just don't What? What's their incentive? Like? The amount of stuff that's uploaded to YouTube? Like it hasn't decreased? How much per minute?
2
Speaker 2
7:21
Right? Oh, the incentive to be fair, and to be, you know, diligent with what they're monitoring is nothing.
Law Smith
7:29
So it's like, just take it off? Well, we put SEO expert Dan Kurtz on recently, and I think he thought I was going conspiracy style and some of this, but I do have an issue when one entity controls the organic search so heavily, and then a big branch of them like YouTube, which is the number two search engine. That's crazy. When they starting to them, when they start really figured out going, what speech is fair. And when you really like 99% of people would be like, that shouldn't have been demonetised just for talking about it. Even if you don't agree with it, right? I think, yeah. That that's scary. And that really leads back to advertisers, right? Because that's what it's all about money. Basically, all this stuff where they're talking about, like YouTube and Facebook are shutting it down. It's really because they just don't want the heat. They don't want to lose the they don't want to lose advertising money. And so they're going I say heat, I don't mean advertising money. I mean, the public pressures, right, right. Right, right. The what bad PR what's the what's, what's the cost benefit of putting up with that shit, we can just easily just kill it. Exactly, whatever. But so like, they're taking almost the old primetime TV model of advertising of like, well, you can only say this stuff here. And we're going to advertise tide, you know, right on this clean stuff. Oh, weird. And then so it's like, you placating to the the big level advertisers. Yeah, they got their way. And they all cut that cord felt so good. And then a year ago, we had Sam Tripoli. Oh, maybe we'll call him. Call him up. Just see if we can get him on the horn. Bert kreischer is who that happens in he's in Serbia right now filming filming the machine. Well, if you see his stories, you know, he's, he's not in Serbia. Well, no, he's very much there. on set with Mark Hamill as his dad in the film. Do you know that? No. Yeah, that's cool. Maybe we'll call it the avant. You know, it's one of those things where I was pitching it and it's gonna be so embarrassing when they don't pick up or go Who is this? Right, right. This number? Remember, we're friends. You gave it to me. Theo did do me a huge side when I took out a chick and she said one of her favorite comics was the avant. And then I go Oh, he's buddy of mine and I texted him and he got right back to me with a picture of him in the back with a little tea lights you can tell is like the comedy called back you know those kind of little small camera it's your fake phone number of the avant worked it into glad I sent that photo which is calculated. I wish I was smart enough for my input. Easily but I'm saying like, it's one of the gifts anybody you have to be a fucking psycho. Yeah, to like, yeah, go on. Social go. Ooh, Does she love the most? Oh, yeah, that's gonna make a fake phone number. growth. So the the thing with all that the podcast index is really interesting, because he basically Adam curry, who used to be an MTV vj, I think one of the first ones and then he was one of the first podcasters ever. He's talking about keeping this free speech. So basically, by trying to pull a lot of people together, almost as a co op, a digital Co Op of sorts. It'll remain in the free speech will be free. So like, like they've made a deal where they've created a hosting network so that they're like getting ahead of it. Right. Okay, because he's like, okay, I can see the next level, I can see the next thing that what they'll do, because Apple podcasts is just a directory. Spotify is a directory, right? They're not hosting it. They're hosting it at it, right. So you have stuff like Lipson, or a treasure trove of 30. Other big time, right podcast hosts. And so what they're doing is they're like, we're trying to go one step ahead. So if they try to kill you off, let's say Lipson just goes, Hey, we don't like your content, they start going the way Patreon. And then though, yeah, we're out immediately. And that's like, well, but that this would be the backup, or maybe we migrate to this eventually. Right?
2
Speaker 2
11:52
I mean, you know, that's why so that's the main thing is a podcast hosting site. Yeah, it's done by we say hosting, we mean, like, you can, your file gets uploaded, right? you're uploading your file, and then it sits there and lives there. And then as it if it was on Apple podcasts, Apple podcast would pull that RSS feed from right over toasted.
Law Smith
12:12
And then the other part that was interesting was he said, I think, like, there's half of all the podcasts out there aren't listed on Apple podcasts, which is the leading way people find podcasts. They just didn't monetize on it early enough. So you know, now they're having a subscription model, a premium subscription model with with Apple podcasts. Forecasts index is doing that. No, no, I'll just separate. Yeah, I'm just saying like Apple podcast now is like they're really late on the game of like, making money off podcast. Yes. They'll make anything All right. Yeah. Other than like, it is weird. cross sell. Oh, will you like this podcast? Why don't you buy some Apple Music subscription? Yeah. So yeah. So you know, it was one of those things. I think he gave like, the directory formula to Apple about podcasting. Adam curry. Like that's how like Genesis he is. Anyway, this is welcome to sweat equity, where we report back what's on Rogan's podcast. It was it dude,
13:15
I haven't listened to Rogan, since he moved to Spotify.
Law Smith
13:18
Apparently, the numbers are very much telling like that the really, I don't know what like you gotta think about it like your dad Boehner, right. It's not like how many things you're gonna keep up with. And then it's not like you don't want to listen to it. Yes. Like, I ain't taking the extra two steps. Yeah, like it's law. What is the password your Spotify? Fuck that. I need to? I think I have a family account again. I'll just give you one of those. But we found a but it's like I heard it was such a big deal when your guests numbers wise before because of YouTube too. And now YouTube's are only clips. And when you go on there, it's like, dwindling. Yeah, basically. doesn't move tickets for comics. That's what I know. As much podcast Oh, yeah. But I bet Oh, Bill backup, like Spotify is gonna have all the video hosts on there. Oh, you're talking about spot. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, once Spotify gets more videos, gonna step in eyes it apparently that is moved to
2
Speaker 2
14:15
this is interesting. So there. So do they have an app podcast index app, like on the app store? So
Law Smith
14:21
the apps they have listed on there are all open source like OBS like open broadcast software, if you ever need to do like live stream video from desktop. It's it's developers basically creating Okay,
2
Speaker 2
14:33
so there they provide apps that you can get podcast from?
Law Smith
14:39
Yeah, just think of it that here's there's a index of a bunch of I think open source free apps for podcasters. And then they have their own hosting ability on podcast index, which I believe they call podcast 2.0. I don't know. But you'll be able to directly so if we're on there, eventually anybody's listening in wants to directly contribute to our show, like Patreon but a lot easier to just make it happen with cryptocurrency to with Bitcoin cool. Yeah. So it's all untouched from like these big IDs. I just think it's interesting how this guy sees the forest for the trees going forward it goes, Okay, the next thing that's going to happen is they're going to get all the hosting. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna Good call. I mean, you know? Yeah. So, that's like, that's like, you know, strategy on a level of like, I gotta think three, three moves ahead, at least if not six or 10. You know? 50 or Okay, sure. You're the one who round up numbers. Well, I was like threes not super impressive if you really get a 610 make it 40 numbers. What do you what do you got over there? Oh, I see no Helmer doc on that.
2
Speaker 2
15:57
Yeah, I sent you that the best. Oh, Kilmer has a documentary out that I knew. Did you actually watch the trailer for it?
Law Smith
16:04
Oh, yeah. Oh, I said don't give me a boner at the gym.
2
Speaker 2
16:07
I know. And crying at the gym. Talking. It was sad, man. Like, I didn't
Law Smith
16:13
know I knew I kept telling you I
2
Speaker 2
16:14
know that. But I didn't actually hear him speak. Like that was a little That's the difference. Yeah, is that so I guess Val Kilmer, like, was a big video guy went around, recording everything he did. But they have like all this, the voiceover of him. Like for the documentary like talking about his life and how we move and then again another thing where
Law Smith
16:39
I think he thought ahead.
2
Speaker 2
16:40
Yeah, he definitely did. I mean, like when you see how young he is at the beginning of what he was filming, you're like, holy shit, this guy had this planned out for a while or at least was just into it.
Law Smith
16:52
Or I've been watching a lot of the a&e documentaries on wrestlers. Or and they had he's gonna have so many interviews all the there's a bunch of dead wrestlers and they have all this interview, documentary style interview stuff with a lot of wrestlers to like, really cobble together. It looks like they're almost alive talking about
2
Speaker 2
17:14
Yeah. john paul and I a friend of the program in my living room right now watching always sunny, and we were talking about how like, Danny DeVito is old. They need to just stick them in front of a green screen and film them and then work around that. Oh, yeah. Or like he dies. Tupac hologram? Yeah, he dies and spends all of his money at the end on a hologram machine. And then he's like a hologram in the show. That would be great. But I'd
Law Smith
17:43
be willing to keep them it'd be kind of a tough pitch like, hey, Danny. I think you'd be it seems cool. It seems like six oh, I married Rita Wilson. Yeah, fine. I think reinforced, did they back to the status trying to think of 4 million podcasts out there 4 million podcasts out there. 600,000 that are active meaning one episode has been published within the last 60 days. So you got 7 billion people you got in the world. You got 4 million podcasts out there. But really, you got about 600,000 out there. So
18:28
only like 40,000 of them are called sweat equity.
Law Smith
18:32
There are a lot and we're about to send a
2
Speaker 2
18:34
cease which we that was something we were talking about. And we didn't think to do it today. But you were you had the
Law Smith
18:41
the vision to get the IP on it. Well, I mean, well, yeah. on this on this show, which is like something we one of those things that we would talk about a lot in a long list of things we should do. You actually did it. And I was like,
2
Speaker 2
18:57
yeah, some targets here are a little thing. You were there. Yeah. Sitting in my in our studio. Yeah. There's like nine of them. Yeah, sweat equity. It's just crazy to me like that. People go through that. record an episode. You have to have a an episode recorded before it'll go on Apple podcast.
Law Smith
19:16
Well, you can make it like 30 seconds. Sure.
2
Speaker 2
19:18
But I mean, but still, you're doing something. You're making, you know, artwork for it and shit. And you never once googled it to see if it was already a thing. Do people I mean, nobody gives a shit. I know you've helped so
Law Smith
19:32
many reasons. You've consulted with so many businesses that do the same thing like local business like yeah, they don't even Google. how's this gonna look as the user looking this up? Yeah, it's gonna be confusing if I call my my muffler shop. Jiffy tube. I know. Yeah, no, it's my Jiffy tube. Yeah, that's gonna be the default ABC D liquors and you're like, it's the same reason like two clicks to follow Rogan over on Spotify. It's the same thing. Yeah, if you make it every everybody's got ADHD. So it's like, adults are fucking children now. So it's not. Exactly. So it's one of those things that
2
Speaker 2
20:12
why would you make this harder for the user? But I agree. I could see. You know, it podcasts are different. It's people's moment in the sun. They get excited about it. I know what the names gonna be. Let's get it out.
Law Smith
20:28
Don't they only back let's do business terms. super low barrier to entry. Yes. Further, right to low almost, I think. Yeah, but I mean that the market will sift that out. I think
2
Speaker 2
20:44
we're not just giving out crazy final 4 million podcast numbers.
Law Smith
20:48
Yeah. But before we thought it was a million. Right. But we didn't know the active actives. Different. That's an adjusted number.
2
Speaker 2
20:55
Yes, that's it. So yeah. When I was looking at those wet equities, it was like, okay, they haven't done once and 2019. They'll do one every two months.
Law Smith
21:04
There's a Canadian one that we can't cease and desist. I know. Yeah, maybe? I don't know. I don't know how that works. No, we definitely don't have maybe we do it depends where they have it hosted. True. That's true. Like Lipson that's out of Pittsburgh will track that down to Yeah. But on the other side, I heard I heard about this with, with people that celebrities that put sex tapes out the strategy is to give them a little something of it. Sure. And let it be pirated. Basically, as a team, and you get a lot more people that way. So like, bringing a Bert kreischer, again, the machine story. Great story, if anybody hasn't listened to it on YouTube. It's like an epic almost. And the someone like Vietnam, like ripped it, put it on YouTube of Vietnam. And these numbers, they're like crazy.
2
Speaker 2
22:04
Are you talking about like his stand up of pricer doing have that machine story? Somebody ripped it, put it on YouTube? And now they're
Law Smith
22:11
writing? Well, it's almost like allowing that to happen. So you get the residual effect of Right. Yeah. So our first instinct is to shut them down into sentence and that Yeah, but we might be gaining people who aren't actually yeah. I mean, I don't or doesn't scream. The other artwork
2
Speaker 2
22:29
seem that way. But maybe if just one person accidentally clicks on our podcast,
Law Smith
22:34
oh, worth of the 4 million out there podcasts. Only 211 are good. 2 million on Apple podcasts. So let's so cut that if we're doing kind of transitive property here. And if there's 4 million out there, the number one transitive properties podcast, we're the number one transitive, trans business comedy podcast. Yeah, that's what I meant. By a transitive property of 4 million out there and 600 active meaning one episode last 60 days, then, you know, 300,000 give or take a couple 1000 are on Apple podcasts? I think. Yeah. Well, I would love to see are active on Apple podcasts.
2
Speaker 2
23:17
Yeah, that active term though. It's like, I'd love to see if you could filter it out that it's like how did they do 26 episodes in a calendar year or like just how free cuz like two months that's not active for a podcast, you need to be at least once a week. And even you and I struggle with that. But like, that's active legit.
Law Smith
23:37
We got to bank some up because Daddy's going on vacation comedian wedding. That's coming into the month. We got to next week. So bank him out. Yeah. But that's another thing he said like consistency with your audience is key. Yeah. When I heard that I was like,
2
Speaker 2
23:54
I guess my point is I'm trying to be optimistic about the 600,000 that are active realistically, like, that's not that's a lot. That's not really how many legit podcasts there are, you know, it's probably 200 that are always putting in
Law Smith
24:09
one episode last 60 days. That's not shit. That's I'm saying, Yeah, that's a high number, not 67% off of that. And he threw some number out of like, if you have more than X amount of listeners, it's like, like, we're, we're in a weird rarefied air, but we're so far distant from the other big dogs. Yeah. So like, there's just people that do, like, the philosophy we've had with the show is, you know, if there's 10 people listening, that's like having 10 people in a room really intimately listening while they're folding laundry. So it's worth it. I think, I think a good show starts from that, like doing stand up is like, you just have a need for it. Whether you get famous or not. You really want to do it or write any art or whatever,
2
Speaker 2
24:54
and start with making a good show. And then yeah, your numbers
Law Smith
24:58
Right, right. That's good. What else you got on there?
2
Speaker 2
25:03
What are we talking about? Oh, the Val Kilmer, Doc. But that's not really anything else to talk about. Because it's just sad. It is sad. A lot of people were dopes like you that didn't know what that he couldn't talk so good that he's sick and dope. We're gonna see if we get a hold of Sam. Well, after that we talked about that wisdom app that I sent you that thing about that seems like interesting at least clubhouse style I had about
Law Smith
25:30
Wiz Khalifa. Yes. dominatrix? I don't know what that means. We're getting had you not listen. Are you calling? Tripoli? Oh, four o'clock over there. You have to be on the road.
2
Speaker 2
25:49
Your call? So that wisdom app. What that is is not out yet. But it's a, like a network of I guess I was asked to be a top mentor for the business for the business category. Right. So what will happen is
Law Smith
26:04
this is the new trophy scam. I, hey,
2
Speaker 2
26:08
I'm going into it. Like a science experiment. I'll report back to the podcast about it. Because it is a new thing for me. You know, like, the idea being I guess I'll be having a one on one conversation with somebody who has questions.
Law Smith
26:24
Explain this. Like you've tried to explain it to your
2
Speaker 2
26:27
I am trying to do it. But you didn't feel stupid or Okay, say your mommy gives you $5. And then you want to talk to me about it. And business wise, and I'll record it. And then I guess the more people who listen to that conversation, I'll get whatever bullshit cryptocurrency they've made up for their own app, so they don't actually have to put out any money. And then that's good for gift cards or some shit. I don't remember. But right. It's
Law Smith
26:55
casino money. Yeah,
2
Speaker 2
26:56
exactly. It's all Well, I don't know, the gift cards. They have to. I mean, I'm sure they got a deal on them, but get cash out of it. Right. Yeah. Hey, Amazon gift card might as well be cash.
Law Smith
27:08
That's a scary principle, too. But yeah, I I'm with you not? I'm not the right. I mean, I'll take that half of all the households in the United States have amazon prime only half kind of blows my mind. It's only half. That's half the population, I think. Oh, so it was like I messed that up. Yeah. But that makes more sense. But yeah, I mean, well, they dictate kind of the labor market now. Which is crazy. Yeah. So wisdom Apple, check that out. So when so I've been getting a bunch of these emails, too. Oh, wait, I sent you one, like two months ago, but I was like, I was like, I'll take that always take the bait on something like this, that I see a trend of this happening. Plus you played it the ego, my mentor, kind of video. Video Producer expert, right. Like, did I write that on LinkedIn? Sure, sure. I mean, I'm not like production, like you or a friend of the program. deeming or Campania pictures currently in the living room, john Paulson, they want to talk Obama. You know, I don't have they've clearly just scraped LinkedIn. and was like, Yeah, all right. Now, it's interesting, because I find the psych ops of the whole, the whole idea interesting. So okay, we're gonna play to a bunch of people that you know, are mid level management, whatever, have X amount of experience, per their LinkedIn, then we're going to ask them to fill out this form, about the subject matter, right? Get our own market research, which, by the way, is fucking with the one I filled out. It was long, it was like, No, but I copied and pasted it all and then put on my own blog or whatever, so at least I get some value out of it. Sure. And then like, Alright, then we're gonna go cool. You know, we'll let you know. When you have something great. But in the email, it's like you're an expert. Get Paid $200 an hour to consult. Yep. Then you just gave them all your nanny. You just gave them all that permanent? Yeah, I was thinking about that. But you're this thing your brain pissy?
2
Speaker 2
29:22
This thing I was talking about. I didn't have to do anything. But give them my email and all that. So thankfully, I haven't given them any of my
Law Smith
29:29
they haven't called good goop. They haven't called you yet. No. Yeah, that, that you only brain pussy. Like, goop better, whatever it worked. But it's that thing of like, oh, okay, now they can just build a knowledge base off of all, like, what they're going to do is they're going to call you because at another one that was like, let's set up a console call and I go, okay, whatever. It's 15 minutes. I'll do it. You know, while I'm on lunch, taking a walk. Something Oh, and I totally recognize how did they call? Oh, really? And I was like, Hey, you call and they're like, Oh, yeah, sorry. And then they tried to call, or I kept missing each other whatever, sucker online, and then didn't hear from Wow. That means to me that means someone is in a call center rolling calls. Yeah. Oh, I
2
Speaker 2
30:20
mean, I could see this wisdom app being like, obviously producing free content for like, that's the obvious, you know, give there. So it's not like it's totally benevolent. But it'll be interesting. I'm kind of weird that wisdom app was not taken. Well, they may have paid for it, but
Law Smith
30:40
or their wisdom, knowledge ap.org or whatever, know, things wisdom, or they may pay for it. But out of existence, that's that thing of like, basically, the word we just got is, this is like the similar scam of like, you want an award. Hmm. And then what's the upsells waiting for it in that email when you sent when you for the
2
Speaker 2
31:05
there's an upsell? I mean, just like the pyromark Global Excellence Award, there's there's an upsell, but I'm the only time we ever talk about getting an award is when we get an award and we don't have to pay any money for it.
Law Smith
31:17
Right? No, we're going to leverage this. Sure. Oh, we're gonna put it out there for sure. Like 2024 we'll be talking about luxlive Global magazine. Oh, excellent. I want to find all these phony awards if anybody's listening out there knows any like they get hit out because they're a nominee for some award they never ever heard of know signed up for I want to hear about it because I want to interest into it. I want I want best management consultant in Tampa. Two years in a row. But the second year, my agency wasn't even active. Just know how to consult, do your own thing. I was like, can now buy this trophy for $100. And you know what? I even know it's a scam like that because it costs $1 to make right? And I'm still like, you still kind of want it. So when people walked in your office you'd be like yeah, what a psychological mind fog. You just go that your local trophy shop and get it made for 20 bucks, but I know we spent a whole Saturday at the trophy shop. Perfect 300 game. pitching a no hitter should get a fake value. Stolen Valor dribble champion for dented Stanley Cup. Yeah, yeah, you shouldn't. I mean, the boat parade yesterday, missed out was fun. Oh, you know, it's it's that thing where it was the middle of Adana, Monday. Oh, all right. You have a job. Oh, yeah. And you know, how I would be I even if I went and I had a flexible job, you'd be doing work on your IP, so like, anxious, I couldn't even get out of my own head. I mean, I'd be like, I got to just
2
Speaker 2
32:58
anybody listening who's never been to a championship celebration boot parade. It is an amazing sight to see how they I mean, now if I went over hundreds of votes hammer, yeah, sure. Yeah. But it like, Dude, that nobody's I didn't see one person get injured. I didn't see anybody get arrested. Like the fact that that many people had that many boats out there. And basically other than the Stanley Cup getting dented,
Law Smith
33:27
I think because it was on a Monday, honestly. Yeah. For sure. Like people party, but you have to get on Sunday before that.
2
Speaker 2
33:35
Yeah, there's like a level of responsibility. You have to be able to go and get drunk on a Monday. Yeah, that it was on a Sunday, there would be a lot more arrests.
Law Smith
33:44
It's all the non nine to fivers out there. And so a bit of a pro. It was interesting to watch. When you when I saw the video of you out there saying it was the exact opposite Bizarro world I was in I just like looked at an Excel chart for like three hours. Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
34:02
And then going over them. 20 minutes after that. We were in the worst lightning rainstorm I've ever seen out on a fucking boat. And then that,
Law Smith
34:12
do you get a dad Boehner for lightning thunderstorms?
34:15
I was a bit excited. I was like, they think it's cool. The lightning. I won the championship and it's awesome. Lightning
Law Smith
34:24
is talking about it on his podcast on your mom's house. Yeah, I was home in Florida posted a video. So excited about a thunderstorm with lightning in Florida. And then I realized how big of a dad Boehner dork that was. Yeah. Yeah, but a lot of dads I've asked a lot. I absolutely was like
34:44
this is nature boys and girls. Yeah, I mean, we take a step back. It's really pretty cool. Didn't lightning lightning lightning lightning lightning lightning get it
Law Smith
34:52
lightning. thought I was gonna die. Yeah, that looks like some icy shit. I mean, it was crazy Black Pearl, whatnot. Alright. This has been a good meandering episode, I feel like we dropped some knowledge, we did something if you really want to get paid, I've thrown this out here. Because we're nothing if we don't give like one pragmatic tip of some sort, if you want to get paid for some kind of review, or your knowledge jitsu reviews, we'll pay you 25 bucks for a legit review of like software of apps websites use. What was the G two reviews? Yeah. And then if you do a video on like I've done for Reich, wr ik II, I think is on there, right? You do a video when they think to give you like 50 bucks. Which is interesting, because they're looking at the setup. The whole thing is, I don't know, everybody's paying for reviews on Amazon and shit. And they're like, no straight up. We're gonna pay you for it. Yeah. And then they said every now and again, I'll send me an email write. Your review has been seen by 1000 people or something.
2
Speaker 2
35:58
Yeah, I mean, that's a legit review. You know, right. You use it all the time. So like, it's not anything crazy. Yeah, that's the sort of shit you should get paid for all. Like, I'd want to hear somebody who's using it all the time. Tell me if it's legit. You know
Law Smith
36:12
why I'm such a babbling blowhard. If anybody asked me about anything, I slightly know I'm like, Yeah, I know. Yeah. 20 minutes. I love this. This is easy. I could do this shit all day. Yeah. So anybody out there that's looking for that little bit of scratch? They might give it to you any amazon gift card honestly now? Well, I'm sure they do. But that in the class action lawsuits like the next thing I don't know how to talk about how many of those have you gotten? Like an email like your data has been leaked from 2008 to 2017. This app leaked a lot of your data. And now there's a class action lawsuit. So do the claim settlement. And then like, I did Bumble send me one and I that's it like $1.48 I got 36 bucks. That's pretty good. But I want to know the pie. I want to know whole pie. Right? I want to know. I want to know exactly. Exactly. Part of the legislative requirements. The rules. So no incentive. Alright. Let's go pro bono.
