The legal industry is facing its “Netflix vs. Blockbuster” moment. AI, automation, and alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) are rapidly reshaping how legal services are delivered, and the biggest question is: Who will adapt—and who will be left behind? Roger Pilc leads a $600M+ division at Epiq, bringing experience from McKinsey, Booz Allen, CA Technologies, and Pitney Bowes. With insights from Satya Nadella's vision on AI, Clayton Christensen's The Innovator's Dilemma, and leadership lessons from Peter Drucker, Adam Grant(Author of Think Again), and Daniel Pink(Author of Drive), Roger explains how ALSPs are positioned to disrupt legal in ways law firms and Big Four consultancies cannot. In this episode, we explore how Legal Service Management mirrors IT's digital transformation, why Zach Posner at TLTF is betting on AI-driven legal platforms, and how Nicole Giantonio and the team at Epiq are investing in tech that's changing legal service delivery. Key Takeaways You Can Use Today: Legal is facing a “Simultaneous Equation Problem.” GCs must manage rising litigation, regulatory complexity, and shrinking budgets—but traditional models no longer work. AI & ALSPs Are Changing Everything. Like Netflix disrupting Blockbuster, AI-powered legal service models are creating massive efficiencies for corporate legal teams. The 30% Rule: Leadership is Talent Spotting. Echoing Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Jack Welch, Roger spends 30% of his time recruiting and developing top talent—a critical strategy for legal leaders.

And of course they would say, "yeah, yeah, yeah, I would totally do it." And he said, "Great, I've caught you in my trap." And the trap is obviously prioritization. We don't prioritize reading, so we don't read, right?Lesley Logan 0:24  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:06  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life Brad and I are going to dig in to the pragmatic convo I had with Nick Hutchison in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to this episode, you should. You should just listen to it. So listen in any order you want. Doesn't really matter to us. But go listen to Nick. He is incredible. He's amazing. He's also just like, really like, sweet, nice dude. And he, it's announced we can say, he is expecting his first kid.Brad Crowell 1:32  I didn't know that. That's exciting. Congratulations, Nick.Lesley Logan 1:35  Oh. Get on social. I know. Brad Crowell 1:37  Yeah, I'm all over that. (Inaudible)Lesley Logan 1:39  Well, he can do Dad's Club. He could do Vincent's Dad's Club. Yeah. Brad Crowell 1:39  Yeah. I'll connect the dots there, Nick. That's exciting. Lesley Logan 1:46  I love it. He didn't even ask for dad advice and I'm like you should do this thingBrad Crowell 1:50  Congratulations. You're going to get it. Lesley Logan 1:50  So today is May 30th. It is World MS Day. About this day, World Multiple Sclerosis Day, falling on May 30th, invites dialogue on the disease. Multiple sclerosis, MS, is a relapse-remitting disease with a very slow progression. MS is also known as encephalomyelitis disseminata and its symptoms include muscle weakness, double vision and mental physical problems due to lack of research studies on the disease. The exact causes behind it are generally unknown. Many scientists believe that there might be connected to the onset of the disease and genes or nerve-cell dysfunction. Furthermore, there's no permanent cure yet. The symptoms can be relieved using the right set of treatments and medication. I just want to like shout out because there's actually been a lot of talk about this. Selma Blair, I believe, did a docu-series or documentary about this. She's been very vocal about it. Christina Applegate is now in a cane. And she, I believe, has to stop acting because of it and like she had a really amazing show, even up until very recently.Brad Crowell 3:00  We just met someone in Phoenix PLT who has MS.Lesley Logan 3:05  Yeah. Jack Osbourne has it. Montel Williams and Jamie-Lynn Sigler. There's actually more. There's, I'm gonna see if there's anyone you might know. But there's Tamia Hill, David lLnder, Walter Williams, Jonathan Katz, Janice Dean, Richard Pryor, Neil Cavuto, Trevor Bayne. So there's a ton more. I'm sure there's more. The only reason I brought these people up is like, you might have like, loved them for a long time and wonder what they're doing. And the truth is, is that this is a really hard and really sad thing that we have no information on, there's not a lot of treatments or studies being done on it, and it's a real shame. So anyways, but shout out to Selma Blair for the work that she's been doing to draw attention to it. So what do we got coming up? Okay. OPC Summer Camp is like this weekend. It is this weekend, not like, it is this weekend. Brad Crowell 3:56  It is May 30th. That means we're looking at two days from now is June 1st.Lesley Logan 4:03  Yes. So Brad and I will have our blue blockers along (inaudible). We are going to have to go to bed early tomorrow night, Brad, because you have to get up super early on Saturday. We are it's all hands on deck because it is just like Zoom. Like it's seven Zooms a day, seven different links, seven different teachers each day. Different groups of people, some people have day pass, some people have bought ala carte, so we have to be on top of everything. As a camp directors that we are, and we have 13 other camp counselors and just an incredible lineup of events for you. This is the biggest thing we've ever done online and we really hope you join us because it's, it's really it's all about the Pilates practitioner. You do not have to be a teacher to join these. And if you can't join us live you get to have the replays. So buy them anyways.Brad Crowell 4:48  That's right. I think that's the key. If you can't join us live, you get to keep the replays. Lesley Logan 4:53  Yeah, so opc.me/events is how you get your tickets before we go live. Okay, after that we're actually going to head out on tour. OPC Summer Tour. We're headed to the Midwest, y'all. We're hitting cities. We just pretty much skip over all the time. And so, Chicago. I'm looking at Yale. Brad Crowell 5:13  Milwaukee. One of the Twin Cities.Lesley Logan 5:14  Milwaukee. Yes. One of the Twin Cities. Brad Crowell 5:15  We're actually looking atLesley Logan 5:18  Indy.Brad Crowell 5:19  Yeah, sure.Lesley Logan 5:19  We have something in Denver. I mean, we go to Denver all the time, but we're going to, we're going to Denver. Colorado Springs. We are looking at Indy. I think we talked to someone. Brad Crowell 5:31  We're potentially gonna be in Cincinnati. We're looking at that. Lesley Logan 5:34  Yeah. So at any rate, lots of places. I think there's like 12 cities over the two weeks.Brad Crowell 5:40  We're gonna kick it off in Vegas. So we just added a 13th. Lesley Logan 5:42  Oh, hello, Vegas. Hi, for the love, thanks for being our kickoff location and sending us off on the way. So anyways, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Our headlining sponsor is Balanced Body, that means goodies, and you know, you're gonna get certificate towards buying that piece of equipment you've always wanted. And if you use my link, you get the discount. So boom, extra credit. Okay, then another thing that's happening as we speak now, but in June, hopefully open up the doors to eLevate for 2025. And I know that sounds a little early, but the reality is, is that the mentorship is a nine-month program. There's five weekends, I like to give people plenty of time to get their schedule ready, get ready for it, plan for it, and also be able to pay for it. So it is an investment and I don't take that lightly. So if you are wanting to learn more about eLevate if you want to, if you already know you want to do it, we only take 12 people in a round, you want to go to lesleylogan.co/ew. And by the way, my name is spelled L-E-S-L-E-Y L-O-G-A-N (lesleylogan.co/ew) That means eLevate waitlist.Brad Crowell 6:45  If you missed all that and we still have spots left, just reach out to us. If you want to join us.Lesley Logan 6:51  We don't know if we have spots left because we're recording in theBrad Crowell 6:51  We're recording ahead of time.Lesley Logan 6:55  Ahead of time. Brad Crowell 6:57  But yes, let's shift over to the audience question. So this is from schonliving on Instagram, I'm building my hours towards my Pilates mat certification and I find teaching group classes is much harder than one-on-one. Any tips to overcoming the fear, insecurity, anxiety and the form of impostor syndrome that I'm experiencing from being in front of a group class?Lesley Logan 7:24  Yeah, so schonliving, let me, okay, I love this question. First of all, a lot of people even say that they prefer a class to a private and that's because in the class they like it's kind of chaotic, and they, they don't have, there's a lot going on. So no one will notice that they might be nervous and on a one-on-one people can sense it. So I love that you are so confident on your one-on-ones it's actually quite hard to do. So I would say you're winning. The second thing I would just say is if you find you have imposter syndrome and you're new at anything, so this is for anyone, if you're new at something, you should feel like an imposter. You are new at it. If you didn't feel nervous. You are an egomaniac, narcissistic person who should probably go get like, like checked out. So anyway, here's what I will say is if you haven't listened to last week's episode goes into my my answer on cueing, you are new, you are not going to have it all figured out. You are going to have been a little nervous. What I would say first of all, the thing that I always do when I step into something that makes me nervous, I could just go, it's showtime and I be it till I see it. How would you act if you already were feeling confident teaching group classes? How would you act? How would you hold yourself? Like how would you welcome people into your class? How would you? How would you greet the class? How would you start the class? What is your speech for the class? How would you end the class, right? Don't worry about Brad Crowell 7:24  Yeah, you just be it till you see it.Lesley Logan 8:43  Yeah, don't worry about what you're gonna say in the middle of class. What are the in cast that you can control that you want to say to invite people into a space that you're in control of? Okay, so that's first and foremost. Second, my teacher Jay Grimes would say bad Pilates, get used to it. Dangerous Pilates, never. I always translate that to ugly Pilates, get used to it. Dangerous Pilates, never. When you're teaching a bunch of people who have different learning styles and different abilities of paying attention, it's gonna be a hot mess. So you need to look at a class and like be able to spot danger and correct that. Anything in between danger and perfect, just let it be. Okay? It will, they need to come back and they will get better. So that'd be my other thing. And the next thing is, is that people become teachers and in weekends now, like literally in a weekend or months, maybe showing that you, you've been doing this for a year, I don't know. But something tells me probably not. My teacher would say you're not really a teacher till I've been teaching for five years. And so just teach as many people as you can.Brad Crowell 9:54  Not in a judgment way. But the reality is there's so much to process and dots to connect and you know, just understanding plus you have to, you should be feeling it in your own body, too. You know, so it just takes time, y'all. It takes time.Lesley Logan 10:09  A lot of questions and worries and concerns you have they kind of answer themselves, the more you teach. So what I would say is get some friends together that love you. And to say I need to practice teaching a class and just teach them and they in return should give you testimonials. That's what they should do. That is, but that's going to help you but your goal, of course you're gonna feel nervous. You obviously care about doing well. So that says to me, nervous energy, and impostor syndrome just shows that you care and that you're brand new at something. You would never let a client go, oh, I can't do the 100 on day one. Because (inaudible).Brad Crowell 10:14  You would laugh at them and say, of course you can't. Lesley Logan 10:49  You're new. Brad Crowell 10:50  You just started.Lesley Logan 10:51  So my dear, of course you are nervous. You're new. And so for anyone who does teach Pilates, all this stuff applies to everything you want. You got to be it till you see it. How would you act if you already knew how to do the thing? And second of all, if you're beginner, kindness and graciousness and patience with yourself.Brad Crowell 11:09  Yeah, to yourself with yourself. Exactly. Yeah, great question. Okay. Now let's talk about Nick Hutchison. Nick Hutchison is the founder of BookThinkers, a company dedicated to helping authors promote and market their books. Initially indifferent to reading, Nick's outlook transformed in his early 20s after discovering the transformative power of personal development books. Today, as he's a lifelong learner, he has penned Rise of the Reader and podcast host of BookThinkers, Life Changing Books, his work across various platforms provides valuable strategies for implementing the lessons learned from books into everyday life.Lesley Logan 11:51  Yeah, he's cool. I really, I really enjoy him. I was on his podcast, BookThinkers, by the way. Brad Crowell 11:59  He's the nicest dude. Lesley Logan 11:59  Just really nice, very thoughtful. He's very perceptive. He listens. And he integrates it, he analyzes it, and he puts it out. It's just really wonderful. Get his book, you guys, if you are reading books, so that we're talking about on the podcast, and like, I'm not retaining enough, get his book. It's so, so, so good. It's been so helpful. Based off of his book, he taught a little mini version of it to us at the BBG event we went to, and I found that I took less tasks home, because I was like, the only thing I have to do is this thing, I'm only here for this thing, this is my intention for the next few days. And I really listened to a lot of things I was like, That's a great idea, not mine, that's a great idea, not mine, I left going, I just have these three things I'm going to do when I leave, and it's only been three, it's like two. And I'm really, really happy about it, because it's just great. So go get his book. Brad Crowell 12:47  Love that. Lesley Logan 12:48  One of the things I love he said that don't assume what your audience wants. And we mentioned the four agreements.And so the four Agreements, in case you've not read the book is don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions. The other two are be honorable with your word. If you say you're gonna do it, do it. And then there's a fourth one, always do your best. He said, don't assume what they want, ask them what they want. And then they should be brought along with you. Too often, a lot of people who are in this, maybe you're not wanting to write a book, but maybe you want to create a product or on-demand course or have an event. Most people protect it, hold it preciously to themselves. And then they're like, I get it. Here it is, here's the thing I made for you. But you didn't get any feedback along the way. So they weren't part of building it with you, which means they're not invested in the thing that you're excited about. And you didn't get the feedback along the way to know that they would want blue over green. Brad Crowell 13:35  Well, you guys both used personal experiences to relay, relay this obviously, the the first launch of Agency. You know, there was a lot of emotions tied up in that flop and also a shit ton of hours to spending time to like make this thing actually come together. And then Nick laughed and said, oh, I did that. He built an entire app. And he spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars to build this app and nobody used it. And that's because we were making assumptions prior to rolling the thing out and then what you talked about with the flashcards was when you were rolling out the second reformer deck, you share the process along the way. And it got people that much more excited that much more excited. And it was it was considerably more of a powerful experience and launch for people than the first deck. Lesley Logan 14:31  Well, we were just at Pilates on tour in Phoenix. And this one girl is like, oh, I'm on the waitlist for the barrels and I'm like, oh, thank you so much. And I went to update her she's like, oh, I got the email. You're in the editing process right now. And she was so excited. So like take them on the journey because they actually get excited with you. They want to know what's going on. Like it was really cool and we hopefully by the time this comes out, it's on presale, because were obviously recording earlier, but it is part of it. And I can't recall if we've ever talked about this on here, but I'm just gonna bring it up in case you missed the episode. You know, we were at the Soho House couple days where we saw Nick in person last month. And this guy was just like how do you get people to wait for things. And it's really not about waiting for things. It's also about buying things. He was bringing up waiting, but to me how I think about how purchasing power you all listening have the purchasing power, every single one of you. You determine if something is successful or not. So you need to know that in everything that you buy, you actually give feedback based on your dollars. Okay, you've voting dollars, like you have a lot of different things you can think about with your money. And I, I shared that I bring people on the journey, I get them excited, I tell them the process behind the thing. And eight years ago, I might not have done that because I might have been like oh my God they're going to take my idea. They're going to be able to do it. Now they know how to do it. Here's the thing. And Nick and I talked about this. James Altucher says that less than 2% of people, yeah, less than 2% of people actually take action on any idea, let alone yours. And being part of the process makes them want to do it. So at any rate, I really love that he brought that up. I think it's useful not just for authors, but for anyone creating anything anywhere. What did you love that he said?Brad Crowell 16:14  I really loved when he was talking about the different reasons that people use excuses, justifications that people use why they don't read. He was talking about, I'm so busy or in a company, I've got a family, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he he always asks him, if I paid you $10,000 if you read this book in the next month would you do it? And of course, they would say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I would totally do it. And he said, great, I've caught you in my trap. And the trap is, is obviously prioritization. We don't prioritize reading so we don't read, right? And his book is pretty cool in that it gives some practical advice on how to read 20 books a year by doing 15 minutes a day, which is 1% of your day. If you, if you do that, you're going to put yourself on track to read those 20 books a year. And he basically said, listen, it's not a question of whether or not we can read the books. It's a question of whether or not we value it enough. Right? It's about picking books that solve problems and build skill sets. And so you know, you know, whether you read as an escape, like, you know, to like to step away from the crazy hectic that you have, or you read to learn. When you're picking up a book for, especially for the learning, the rest of his book helps you actually apply and retain and apply the information that you're learning from that book.Lesley Logan 17:55  Yeah, I mean, I actually do like that you said that. We had another guy who said like, what if I told you if I pay you a million dollars to lose 50 pounds overnight could you do it? And he went like 50 pounds overnight? And he said, sure you could. You could have a leg off. Right? He's like, not ideal, but you could, right? And I Brad Crowell 18:12  He did say that and I was like I heard, he did say that. That's true. Lesley Logan 18:17  There's always a way. And I think it is, you know, like really asking yourself what you're prioritizing. And I think we talked about this in the episode which is like, you know, your entertainment time? Like, how much of it are you watching? Like Netflix? What if you just took a little bit of it, like a little portion of your entertainment time and read a book? That could solve the problem.Brad Crowell 18:35  Well, I laughed when he said, Yeah, it was working for this guy who suggested that I take my drive time, my 10 hours of drive time and start listening to podcasts. And I started taking notes on the pods, then decided to implement some of the strategies on the pods. And later, that same boss was like, wait, hold on. So now you're reading books, you're taking notes on the books, and then you're actually taking that advice and implementing it into your life. And he said, Nick, that's weird. He said nobody does that. That's amazing.Lesley Logan 18:37  He was using it in his job and it was making him way better at his job. And his own boss was like, what? How do you know this? How do you do this? So like it can, if you want to differentiate yourself, like it's not about being like 10 years ahead of some people sometimes just being a little bit ahead and that knowledge is that kind of power. So yeah.Brad Crowell 19:26  It's true. Brad Crowell 19:27  All right, welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Nick Hutchison? He said, set a SMART goal for each of the books that you read. We've talked about SMART goals before. SMART stands, it's an acronym, stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals. Right? So specific, measurable, measurable meaning what's not measured can't really be managed. So set goals that are measurable, attainable. Set a realistic goal, trying to consume too much of an unrealistic goal makes you, it allows procrastination to creep in because it doesn't seem attainable. Then, relevant. You emotionally connect to the information. What does this book going to do for you? Ask yourself why am I actually reading this book and then time-bound. Give yourself an actual deadline to take actions on what you're learning in that book. Or for some of us, it might just be a timeout action to read the damn thing in the first place. Right? So he also includes writing down intentions on the inside cover of the book that you own and then reviewing it every time you read another chapter. So what are your intentions for this book, finished chapter two, go back and read your intentions. finished chapter three, read your intentions, finished chapter four. I think it's a really interesting way to stay focused on what you're trying to get out of the book. And you know, instead of just being like, I'm reading the book, I got through the book. Okay, next. I got through that book, too. I got through this book, too. No, you're actually anchoring, what you're learning against what your intentions for that book were. Pretty cool. Lesley Logan 21:08  Or I think, also, if you, like some books might have several things you can learn from them. But if you stick with one intention, you can always go back through. And like read it with a different intention. Yeah, yeah. But this way, you can actually not just take in information, you can integrate what you're learning, because you're not taking on too much information at one time.Brad Crowell 21:24  I love it. What about you? Lesley Logan 21:25  Okay, he said do a little personal edit, find a problem that you're dealing with and identify the problem and then go there and find a book that can help you solve it correctly. So he said, a lot of us won't do this. He's a warrant. If you don't fix it over the next 30 years, you'll experience that problem almost 11,000 more times. So. Brad Crowell 21:42  It's pretty insane. Lesley Logan 21:43  It's insane. But it's true. Because if you think of like, we have like 60,000, or whatever the amount of thoughts per day, and like 80% of them are like the same thought, because you haven't solved the problem. And you're just like rerunning that in your head. So I would just say, a lot of times people ask for advice on like, what books should I be reading? But yes, you could ask others for that. That could be very helpful. But if you first identify the problem, you might like the book that you pick up first better because it's about you. And we only care about solving our own problems. So there it is. Brad Crowell 22:15  Yeah, yeah. Lesley Logan 22:16  Anyways, Nick is awesome. Just you can actually follow him on Instagram and get really great book advice. You could you can also listen to his podcast BookThinkers to get really great ideas on like, what's a book that can solve a problem that you want to solve? So check him out and let us know what your favorite parts were. Share this with a friend if you've got a friend who's like saying they want to read more. That's a really good episode. Help them understand how they can do that and prioritize that reading goal.

Hello, it's just Gal here today! And I'm chatting to Sara Bell - the founder and CEO of RIISE, and a climate change advocate who believes we can no longer rely on incremental change and need to use every creative fibre of our beings to transition faster to a cleaner lifestyle. Sara is passionate about changing the narrative about solving climate change so people get excited about building a low-carbon future. She has spent four years legally challenging fossil fuel subsidies in the European Court as CEO of a groundbreaking energy tech company in London. She won, marking a massive career high. Sadly the win was temporary as the UK government and EU Commission unlawfully reintroduced the scheme.  In this episode, you will see how profitability, sustainability, power and consumerism all collide, but can also be used as such a force. You will learn a lot about climate change just like I did, and not only that, but Sara will also chat us through what is it really that we want as individuals?  What is it that is going to make us care more, and take more action? What is it that's going to make it not so scary to think of climate change? What's going to make it approachable and relatable? Because at the end of the day, Sara says, humans crave newness.  But newness is the opposite of slowing down our buying habits. So what is the solution?  Let's get into it.  – Sara is currently reading The Wizard of the Kremlin by Giuliano Da Empoli - an Italian and French political essayist and novelist. She is also watching Ginny & Georgia - an American comedy-drama television series created by Sarah Lampert.  Read about the fossil fuel court case Sara led as the former CEO of Tempus Energy:  Capacity Market: Sara Bell on what happens next UK Parliament: https://committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence/4384/html/ – Find Sara Bell on LinkedIn.

Is it actually? Yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:00:10Okay, gotcha. The first question from Twitter from Nick Camerota.Aella 0:00:14It's about banging, right?Dwarkesh Patel 0:00:16It's right.Aella 0:00:17Smashing. As one might do in the dirty.Dwarkesh Patel 0:00:21I don't see it here, but he was basically asking, there's meditators who are experts, have all kinds of like special tips. He was talking about how they know how to hold their breath or close their eyes in aAella 0:00:31particular way.Dwarkesh Patel 0:00:32What do escorts know about sex that the mediocre new doesn't know?Aella 0:00:38Well, I don't know because like escorts don't necessarily have more sex. They just have sex with different people. Like if you're in a community relationship, you're probably like becoming an expert at your partner. So it's like, I guess like you're an expert at like very quickly figuring out so like what a new partner likes. So it's really dependent. It's like super dependent on like reading the person. But one is like, don't assume what they like. Because like for a while, it was like all guys like their balls fondled gently, right? You'd think this is a universal malpreference.Dwarkesh Patel 0:01:11It's not. Well, it's changed or it just never was?Aella 0:01:14Well, some people are just like, get the f**k off my balls. And you're like, okay. But also like, I don't know, I like learning how to ride dick. I didn't really know how to ride dick properly before being an escort. And when I first started escort, it was terrible. I was like, like clumping kind of like in a really unattractive fashion. Maybe something about like, like enthusiasm of b*****b is better than technique or something like more important than technique. Like you don't have to be the best b*****b giver at all. But if you're just like, you know, really going to town.Dwarkesh Patel 0:01:44Yeah, it's not like dancing as well, where they say you don't have to be a dancer, just like have fun.Aella 0:01:48Yeah, not there. Yeah, a lot of it's just having fun, right? Like really, like letting loose as much as you can. These are not like really excellent, like, go get them, hit them techniques. Like probably Cosmopolitan has published all those already.Dwarkesh Patel 0:02:02But the 10 things that drive your man crazy. Okay, I'm curious. There's been a lot of innovation in how movies and TV shows are shot and what kinds of plots and tropes they've used. I'm wondering over the next few decades, are you expecting what kinds of like innovations in erotic content are you expecting?Aella 0:02:22It'd be great if there were more funding for erotic content. Like if we had more money, like that would be excellent. But obviously AI. Like ignoring the funding issues. But AI clearly. Like I know that a lot of the models right now are not allowing not safe for work stuff. Do you want to like a normal pillow?Dwarkesh Patel 0:02:41Yeah, let me get her up. Leaning in like Sheryl Sandberg. Sheryl Sandberg?Aella 0:02:47Oh, she's the CEO of Facebook.Dwarkesh Patel 0:02:50Yeah, I've heard a book about leaning in. Like when you lean in. That's an escorting technique.Aella 0:02:54Well, I mean, it's just a generic seduction technique. Leaning in? Yeah. Like when I'm on it, like, usually when I'm as an escort, you meet a guy beforehand. And you're supposed to signal that you're really interested in him and leaning in.Dwarkesh Patel 0:03:08Oh, yeah. Yeah. By the way, do you? This is something I'm curious about. I watched your YouTube video about tips to have more seductive behavior. Are you always doing that or is that just in very specific scenarios when you're online? But like when you go to a meetup or something?Aella 0:03:22I think there's like degrees of it. Like some of it's not just seduction. Some of it's just like normal social behavior. Like I don't think I'm doing anything right now. I'm checking. I think this is how I would normally be with like friends.Dwarkesh Patel 0:03:35Right.Aella 0:03:36But I think there's like some, like there's a spectrum and obviously I turn it all the way up when I'm trying to be very seductive. But sometimes if I'm like enjoying the experience of being attractive, like trying to play into that for any reason, like pure fun, then I'll do it a little bit.Dwarkesh Patel 0:03:50Usually not to that degree, though. OK. Another question I was wondering about is TikTok. Are we going to have porn that's TikTok-ified where we'll have like one minute shorts, you just scroll through.Aella 0:04:02They've tried.Dwarkesh Patel 0:04:03They've really tried. Why has it not worked? Well, you can't get on app stores.Aella 0:04:08So there's not like what kind of money like your sort of market is limited, your marketDwarkesh Patel 0:04:13cap. You can just have a website, though, right?Aella 0:04:16Yeah, you can. But it really reduces the total amount of conversion for like when you're advertisingDwarkesh Patel 0:04:22it.Aella 0:04:23And they've tried it a couple of times, but they just didn't have enough people uploadingDwarkesh Patel 0:04:27things.Aella 0:04:28There are some other competitors like Sunroom right now is doing the thing that they're trying to get on the app store. But it's not porn. Like they can be optimized to be sexy, but like really right now, like the markets are not aligned such that like a porn TikTok. I mean, it's possible that if you did it really, really well, but I don't know. A lot of porn is shot this way, too.Dwarkesh Patel 0:04:49So if you want to take like pre-existing porn, it like never really looks good. I guess it depends on position as well, right? Like there's some positions where a vertical would work.Aella 0:04:58Yeah. It's like a TikTok for like only for like cowgirl standing. They have it, by the way. I don't remember if I said that, but there are products that are trying to replicateDwarkesh Patel 0:05:09TikTok for porn.Aella 0:05:10They're just not very good.Dwarkesh Patel 0:05:11Yeah, and another thing is you had to learn user behavior, but people are probably doing, you know, doing their porn and incognito. So you can't, you can't like learn their preferences that TikTok learns. Okay. People with your genetics, like your psychology, they probably existed like a hundred years ago or 200 years ago. But what would you have been doing if you were born in 1860? Because there was no OnlyFans back then, but would you have become a trad wife or what would happen?Aella 0:05:35Yeah, I probably would have been insufferable. Like I was raised Christian and so I got to see what my psychology does in like a very trad religious atmosphere and it took it very seriously. It kind of went just to the opposite extreme. I was like, ah, if I'm in this religion, like let's actually live the religion. Like we can't just like half believe in it. Like let's actually think it through, take it to the logical conclusion and live that. Yeah. And so I was like, I was maybe even a little bit more conservative than the people around me and took it very seriously.Dwarkesh Patel 0:06:03Do you think if you grew up in a left wing polycule, you would have become a super trad by the time you grew up?Aella 0:06:09I doubt it. I might have become like even like a hardcore polycule, I don't know. But my guess is like I'm probably actually suited to being a polycule. Like I am more like, even when I was Christian, I was like sexually deviant and like obsessed with sex and like just I just suffered immense guilt over it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:06:28Yeah. What are you the Christian men you were growing up with? Did they not jerk off? Like what did they do?Aella 0:06:32Well, all of the messaging when I was growing up was for men. It's like they have like men meetups about not jerking off and s**t. Like you're not supposed to masturbate as a Christian man.Dwarkesh Patel 0:06:42But did they actually not?Aella 0:06:44A lot of them would. Well, I don't know. I never like did a survey. My impression is they probably had a lower masturbation rate than most people and feltDwarkesh Patel 0:06:52worse about it when they did it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm Christian. Do you think that, so you've done these really interesting enlightenment surveys and interviews. Do you think there's people who are just naturally enlightened because they're just so stoic and happy all the time, but they just don't have the spiritual vocabulary to describe their experiences as in these sorts of like, you know, boo-hoo ways? Is it possible that the guy who's just like super stoic is like actually just enlightened?Aella 0:07:16Well, it there's different like it depends what you mean by enlightened. Like stoic and happy is like one sort of conception of enlightenment, but there's lots of differentDwarkesh Patel 0:07:23ones.Aella 0:07:24There are probably people who like I interviewed one person who seemed like they didn't do anything. They just sort of like are that way all the time. It didn't seem like it was like a thing that occurred to them with any. So yeah, probably. I mean, like, I don't think that there's any like special soul like quality about it. I think like you could probably study the science of enlightenment or whatever kind of enlightenment you're talking about. Like obviously, it's replicable with brain states. And obviously, if you are enlightened, and we went to brain surgery, we could like undoDwarkesh Patel 0:07:48that.Aella 0:07:49So in that case, like it doesn't seem impossible to me that somebody could just be born with that like naturally very close to already there.Dwarkesh Patel 0:07:56Yeah, yeah. Did you meet anybody who you felt was enlightened in the strong sense in the Buddhist sense of like, this person has no thoughts? And no, like you could set him on fire and he would not suffer.Aella 0:08:06Is that the I'm terrible at Buddhism?Dwarkesh Patel 0:08:08No, but like in that sense of like, this guy's almost a god.Aella 0:08:12I've definitely met people who report not having like an internal monologue.Dwarkesh Patel 0:08:16Hmm. I don't believe them. Like they were answering questions. Yeah.Aella 0:08:20Like I've had experience times where I have no internal monologue before, but like the like responses still come out or something interesting.Dwarkesh Patel 0:08:28Like there's no distance between you and what comes out.Aella 0:08:31Well, are you having an internal monologue right now? Yes. Like as you're talking, like, are there words coming in your head that aren't what you'reDwarkesh Patel 0:08:37saying? Yeah, I just I'm not self aware enough right now to observe them. But if I was, I'm pretty sure I would, because I'm thinking about what I'm gonna ask you next or how I'm like, they just yeah, you're saying, yeah, I'm not exactly sure how toAella 0:08:48interpret it. Like there's a way where my guess is the words just like kind of emerge without there being any sort of like word process that happens beforehand. Which seems like a plausible state to me, seems like not an insane thing that human brains can do. Human brains can do insane s**t, right? Like, like your internal felt sense can be so radically different, just just literally evidenced by drugs, like you just take an insane drug, your mental state can change. So we know that it's possible for the brain to be in a state where this is the case.Dwarkesh Patel 0:09:15When you escort, do you charge extra to men who you find less attractive?Aella 0:09:19No, not at all. Uh, no, it feels like counter sort of my psychology. Like in my, my psychology around escorting is that it's like a job, and it doesn't have to do with my personal desires whatsoever. So if I were like charging, I don't really enjoy the same way. It's like, I don't know.Dwarkesh Patel 0:09:39Right, right. It's like, it's like completely independent, which is necessary for me, like, I think IAella 0:09:46have to be completely independent in some way of like my actual preferences in order to do it. Like if I were actually checking in with like, what do I want in this moment? I'd probably be like, I don't want to be here, I don't want to be f*****g a stranger. So I guess like, I just can't let that in at all.Dwarkesh Patel 0:10:00Yeah, how about both bulk discounting?Aella 0:10:03Both discounting?Dwarkesh Patel 0:10:04Discounting, like if somebody gets like a, like a lot, four straight sessions or somethingAella 0:10:08that that seems like more reasonable. That's like a business choice. I don't, I never did that.Dwarkesh Patel 0:10:13But like, I think that could do that. When I tell her how it on the podcast, we're talking about how the people who are top in any field often are smarter, because they have to think about how to get top in their field, somebody like a top YouTube creator, they've actually done a lot of analysis of how to get to the top of, you know, the leaderboards there. Yeah, are the top X-Squads and cam girls, are they noticeably smarter?Aella 0:10:35My guess is yes. Like, like, for example, the OnlyFans, I did very, very well on OnlyFans. I think that was because probably I'm like, smarter than the average. But it was surprising to me, like, especially like camming. Like, I was a cam girl and then for a long time, and this is like really, really competitive. It's competitive because you can see what other girls are doing at all times. So you know exactly what the techniques are, and the techniques proliferate much faster. And there's also stuff like branding and seduction and it's really high intensity, high pressureDwarkesh Patel 0:11:03environment.Aella 0:11:04Again, because like with camming, the site I was using, MyFreeCams, your ranking is determined by your average earnings per hour of live streaming over the past 60 days. And your rankings affect how many more people come into your room. So every time you're streaming, it's like really high pressure, because if you don't do well for an hour, this is gonna make it harder for you in the future. So it's really stressful. Anyway, so I went from that to escorting and escorting what other people are doing are not visible, or techniques are not viewable at all. And they and I think as a result of this, like low pressure, like, private slow thing, there was no ecosystem for like escort like tech strategies to really have like a highly competitive atmosphere. So I just brought all of my techniques from camming in regards to marketing, and I think I just blew it out of the water. Interesting. It was like I was shocked at how terrible the cop I was like this is what the landscape is like, like I could beat.Dwarkesh Patel 0:11:54How do you figure out what the competition is like?Aella 0:11:56You just talk to people? You can look at other escort websites.Dwarkesh Patel 0:11:58Oh, yeah, sure.Aella 0:11:59And you don't exactly know how much they're earning. I did a survey where I asked about earnings.Dwarkesh Patel 0:12:05But it's hard to know. What has building an escort profile? What does that talk to you about building a dating profile? Like, what advice would you give to somebody on building a Tinder or Bumble profile basedAella 0:12:15on I mean, the incentives are different. If you're building an escort profile, the thing that you want is money. Yeah, like that's what you're optimizing for on an escort or sorry, dating profile, you're optimizing for compatibility. So like with escorting, like you're trying to like, make find the kind of messaging that is appealing to the maximum number of people, which maybe is what men do when they're on a dating profile. But for me, I'm trying to alienate the correct people as as a dater. Like I don't want the people coming to me who aren't going to enjoy me actually. Like if I like did the same kind of escort advertising as I did dating, like I would just get a billion men and then like not want them because like, no, it's not I'm not like presenting my my real self like the kinds of things that are actually definitive about like what's going to make us a good match or not. So it's really all about like, sorry, dating profiles or advertising is all about likeDwarkesh Patel 0:13:04D selection.Aella 0:13:05Like how are we not going to get along here that like the deal breakers, you put them up front like. So in my dating profiles, I'm always like I'm poly, sex worker, like weird, right?Dwarkesh Patel 0:13:15That sort of thing. Yeah, narrow casting versus broadcasting. At what age do you feel like you could have consented to sex work? Is like 18 too young, too high?Aella 0:13:25Me personally, could have consented probably 15. I don't know. Like I think like if I had if I were in like the right kind of culture and at 15, like this were available to me and I took it, I think in hindsight, I've been like, yeah,Dwarkesh Patel 0:13:38that seems like a.Aella 0:13:40Right decision that I made that I'm willing to take responsibility for.Dwarkesh Patel 0:13:43Yeah, personally, how about the difference between I guess escorting a cam girl is that when you're putting video out there, it stays there forever, escorting it just like you regret it. I guess it's not there forever. I mean, do you see a difference there or in terms of like, would you is there a different age that makes sense for both or? Oh, yeah.Aella 0:14:02I mean, it's like a little confusing. We don't really have consistent standards about like how many permanent decisions youngDwarkesh Patel 0:14:08people can make.Aella 0:14:09Like we groom young teens into paying a lot of money for college pretty early, which I consider to be like a worse decision than going into sex work. Like in regards to the permanent impact it has on your life.Dwarkesh Patel 0:14:25So I don't know.Aella 0:14:26Yeah, but yeah, I mean, in regards to like the thing is, it depends heavily on culture. Like we're in a culture where like we have a lot of incentive against doing your sex work. I'm uniquely suited to it, but a lot of women aren't. And a lot of women would like suffer actual emotional damage if they did it. And like, it's important to know that. And so if we had like a culture that like adequately informed people, if you're like, ah, like, you kind of know a little bit earlier on whether or not this is going to like destroyDwarkesh Patel 0:14:51your soul or not.Aella 0:14:54So it depends on like how much knowledge we have access to. If we had really good access to it, then I'd be like, yeah, you could probably consentDwarkesh Patel 0:14:59younger. You should actually make that a goal or you might have already had. Would you rather be $200,000 in debt at 22 or have a porn video of you out there?Aella 0:15:07I have done this. I mean, a version of this. Yes. And it was I think most people would rather have a porn video.Dwarkesh Patel 0:15:11Okay.Aella 0:15:12Yeah. But again, a lot of my response, respondents are male, which might be skimming it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:15:16Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough. So I've read this theory that if you're a medieval peasant and you encounter a beautiful church symphony for the first time, before you would be like a psychedelic experience. Do you find that plausible given your experience with psychedelics?Aella 0:15:30Have you just said? Yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:15:32Okay.Aella 0:15:33Maybe. Yeah. Like, I guess there's like a test where like, if you encountered a church service as a medieval peasant for the hundredth time, it would be like, so beautiful, but less cool. And this also seems to hold true with psychedelics, at least for me.Dwarkesh Patel 0:15:44Yeah.Aella 0:15:45I don't. I mean, what the thing is, you're just finding like a level of beauty that you had not found before that is really incredible.Dwarkesh Patel 0:15:51Yeah, which seems to be true. So yes. I guess then the question is, is it just that is the experience of listening to your first symphony the same as me putting on Spotify, except you just haven't heard it before? So surprising, or is the actual experience like getting on a psychedelic high? You know what I mean?Aella 0:16:09There's nothing like getting on a psychedelic high. Nothing. I mean, like, there's like the sense of beauty and awe is great. And I think there's that in psychedelics. But there's like a kind of like novelty in psychedelics that are just utterly on. Like I can conceive of like a beautiful thing. But like, even right now, I cannot easily conceive of being on psychedelics, despite having taken them a huge amount of time.Dwarkesh Patel 0:16:32Right. If I told you, you can press a button, and you will experience one random emotion or sensation in the whole repertoire of everything a human can experience, including on drugs, you press that button? Yes.Aella 0:16:45You do?Dwarkesh Patel 0:16:46Okay. Yeah, would you?Aella 0:16:48There's a lot of like, a lot of suffering states.Dwarkesh Patel 0:16:49Yeah.Aella 0:16:50But I guess I'm like, I optimize really hard for interesting as opposed to pleasant.Dwarkesh Patel 0:16:54Yeah. I guess that is what taking psychedelics is like. But I don't know, it's a daunting prospect. It could get pretty bad.Aella 0:17:03Are you trying to figure out if you should take them more?Dwarkesh Patel 0:17:05No, this is not even about psychedelics. It's just, are you maximizing the value of your experiences? Or I guess the volatility of your experiences?Aella 0:17:15I just like trying to feel everything that there is.Dwarkesh Patel 0:17:17Do you feel like you've done that?Aella 0:17:21Probably not. But there's a lot to feel.Dwarkesh Patel 0:17:25Is it important that you remember what it was like? Because we were just talking about how you'll forget what many of the sensations were like.Aella 0:17:31Maybe? I mean, depends on what it's for. It's nice to remember, but it's also kind of nice to forget too. There's a way where I just don't have easy access to a lot of quite intense suffering memories, which is nice right now because I can talk to you. So I don't know.Dwarkesh Patel 0:17:47When you think back to the days when you were taking a lot of psychedelics, how much do you feel like you actually uncovered the truths about your mind and the universe? And then how much are you just like, I was just tripping back then. I don't know how much of the stuff was accurate. It was good.Aella 0:18:02Well, I think that for me, the vast majority of psychedelic experience was like, in my head I have a division. Like for me, it was deconstruction as opposed to construction. I think like some people, not due to any fault of their own, I think it's like a brain chemistryDwarkesh Patel 0:18:16thing.Aella 0:18:17Like the experience they have in psychedelics is constructing beliefs. And usually you have this, when you do this, you kind of look back on the trip and you're like, well, I was believing some crazy s**t there for a while. That was kind of weird. But I never really had that because I never really believed a thing. It was more like observing my existing beliefs and then sort of taking them as object. Sort of no longer finding them to be like an absolute thing about reality, but rather like sort of a construction that I was already doing. And that I hold to all of it. I think everything that I experienced tripping was valuable in that way and led me to where I am now.Dwarkesh Patel 0:18:51What were the downsides? How is your personality change? Is there a downside you can identify in the deconstruction? It was just like so overwhelmingly worth it. I mean, the experience itself was often quite painful. And I was pretty non-functional during the time I was taking a lot and for like about a year afterwards.Aella 0:18:58So that was a downside. I would happily pay that downside several times over. But it wasn't like the most rewarding experience. I think it was like the most rewarding experience. I mean, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,Dwarkesh Patel 0:19:18you had that tweet recently about how you experienced executive dysfunction sometimes. And then there's a story about you working at 50 five hours a week at the factory when you were 19, right?Aella 0:19:29Yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:19:30So is do you think that might be because this I can elitist or executive disruption?Aella 0:19:34when I worked at the factory.Dwarkesh Patel 0:19:35But you were just working 55 hours a week anyways?Aella 0:19:37Yeah, well, I was horrible. I remember being at that factory and being really confused about the way other people were there. I was like, this is clearly not what I wanna do with my life. This is actively terrible. But other people were like, oh, I've been here 10 years and this is just fine.Dwarkesh Patel 0:19:56And I was not doing well.Aella 0:19:57I think I'm pretty, Jess would be like, we're pretty smart. But I was scoring really low in my accuracy and speed at the factory. And I think this is an example of my executive dysfunction issues. And even when I wasn't working at the factory, it was not very productive at all.Dwarkesh Patel 0:20:12What do you think is the difference between psychology between you and those people? Was it just that they enjoyed it more or they just were able to suppress the boredom? Or what do you think happened?Aella 0:20:22Yeah, I'm not sure. Part of it might be just they, maybe if I had just done it for some more years, I would have adjusted. But also, I don't know, I had been homeschooled and I think maybe school prepares you, like normal school prepares you better for a job like that. But you just have to sit and do tasks you don't want to for the entire day.Dwarkesh Patel 0:20:41So, I don't know.Aella 0:20:44I do think also just my brain's different. I seem to be extremely novelty-oriented compared to most people. And my guess is that just made me really not, and just attention, my attention is terrible.Dwarkesh Patel 0:20:56Speaking of which, if you were homeschooling your kids, or I guess if you were raising kids, what does their schooling look like? What kinds of decisions do they get to make when? Do you have some sense of how would you raise a child?Aella 0:21:08I'm not sure, I think maybe unschooling.Dwarkesh Patel 0:21:10Yeah.Aella 0:21:11I'm leaning more and more in that direction. My school wasn't great. The quality of it wasn't excellent. It also, I was forced to learn things I didn't want to, but at least it wasn't a huge part of my life. And the things that, now when I look back on my childhood, the things that feel the most valuable for me to have learned was almost entirely stuff that I did myself. On my off time, the learning that I performed by my own incentive, that's what stuck with me. That's what feels like it lasted. And so I'm like, s**t, if that's the case, I should just let my kids learn what the f**k they want, and just enable them, right? Put interesting things around them, and give them a project, if you wanna do this project, you're gonna have to learn these skills in order to do it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:21:51Well, what are some examples?Aella 0:21:53Of projects?Dwarkesh Patel 0:21:54Things you taught yourself when you were a kidAella 0:21:55that you thought were invaluable.Dwarkesh Patel 0:21:56Well, I read a huge amount,Aella 0:21:58which I think led to me being a good writer today. I just read books about things, I don't know. I learned juggling, a lot of physical comedy stuff. I did some movies, some short movies. You know, something like that.Dwarkesh Patel 0:22:15Could you juggle right now? I'm not asking you to.Aella 0:22:17I could, not super well, but a lot of random little skills, which have turned out to be much more relevantDwarkesh Patel 0:22:23to my life than before. Yeah, yeah, interesting.Aella 0:22:26But also, I remember I read psychology books. Just stuff that, in hindsight, psychology books about personality.Dwarkesh Patel 0:22:33I really liked that. I mean, it sounds like you probably didn't have a TV in your Christian fundamentalist house. Oh, we did.Aella 0:22:39We just had TV Guardian installed on it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:22:41Gotcha. So, could you just have watched TV the entire day if you wanted to, or was that not an option? I'm wondering if the voracious reader was because of all the other options were cut off, or you could have just explored?Aella 0:22:53Oh, no, I was obsessed with the reading, yeah. No, not because other options were cut off.Dwarkesh Patel 0:22:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.Aella 0:22:58I made it a vice to read in the shower, because I didn't like showering without reading.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:03It just took too long without reading.Aella 0:23:06I would read by moonlight after my parents to turn off the lights. When we were driving in the car, you'd hold up the book to read by the headlights of the person behind you.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:13Yeah, yeah, sounds like an addiction. Yeah.Aella 0:23:16I read about, for a while, I was reading about a novel a day.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:20Hmm, was it science fiction or fantasy?Aella 0:23:22Anything I could get my hands on.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:23Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you get your hands on it? Was there a library nearby?Aella 0:23:28No, well, I would just reread what I had a lot.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:30Uh-huh.Aella 0:23:31And just, I would get books as gifts for Christmas,Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:36because clearly that was my priority. Right, right, yeah. Do you think that the ratio of submissives and dominance has changed over time? If you went back 50 years, do you think there'd be more dominance than submissives, or even more so, or?Aella 0:23:50Well, my one hypothesis is tied to testosterone, and if testosterone levels have actually been decreasing over time, then this would cause people to get more submissive.Dwarkesh Patel 0:23:59Yeah.Aella 0:24:00So maybe.Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:02Berne Hovart had this interesting theory, where he was pointing out, it's possible that the decline in testosterone we've seen, that's not just the last 50 years, it's been going on for hundreds or thousands of years. So if you went back to the ancient Greeks, they just steroided up men.Aella 0:24:16Like masks. Yeah. That's such a funny idea. But if that were true, would we be seeing a decline in testosterone over the last, I don't know how many decades,Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:28enough to notice? I don't know how you would notice that. You would maybe notice that there's fewer wars, which it is the case, there's fewer wars. I mean.Aella 0:24:38How do we know that testosterone has been decreasing?Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:40Is it just? Oh yeah, we measure the blood concentration, right?Aella 0:24:42Okay, okay, yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:44I'm assuming. That's what I thought.Aella 0:24:45So it's gotta be over the last few decades, right?Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:47Yeah, yeah, but we don't know. We don't have any data before that.Aella 0:24:50Yeah, but we know the rate of change,Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:52so we could like. Yeah. Well yeah, I mean it wasn't infinite in history,Aella 0:24:57so at some point it's like.Dwarkesh Patel 0:24:58I know.Aella 0:24:59Kind of like, kind of peaked, right?Dwarkesh Patel 0:25:01Yeah.Aella 0:25:02Oh. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't. I should have the data now to look, because I did a survey for people on hormone replacement therapy. To see if people who've started testosterone report. Yeah. And I did find that. But it is a little confusing, because you don't know how much of it is like, narrative or culturally induced. Like, if you're expected to become more masculine when you take testosterone. Like, is this like, psychologically making you believe that you are more interested in being dominant? It's unclear. So I incorporated a question into my survey recently. Like, just the last minute, honestly. Asking just like, are you on HRT? If so, how long?Dwarkesh Patel 0:25:37Yeah.Aella 0:25:38So I should be able to just see if that correlatesDwarkesh Patel 0:25:40with just interest in dominance. Yeah. It would also be interesting to see, another question might be, what age are you? And when you were 20, were you more dominant than submissive?Aella 0:25:53And then- Oh, to see if it changes over time?Dwarkesh Patel 0:25:54Or you would just have, if a 60 year old was really dominant when he was 20, then you'd know that, I don't know, 60 year old. People who were born in 1980 or something. Yeah.Aella 0:26:03Oh, you mean like, if it's correlated with age?Dwarkesh Patel 0:26:05Yeah. Or just like, if people born earlier were more dominant.Aella 0:26:08I found like, a surprisingly lack of correlations with age. Interesting. I mean, yeah, I could put my laptop on my lapDwarkesh Patel 0:26:14and then look at the correlations live here, but. Do you think weird fetishes, like the weirdest stuff, is that a modern thing? Or if you went back 500 years, people would have been into that kind of s**t? Yeah, I think so.Aella 0:26:25It's just like, the really weird stuff is very rare. Like we're talking like 1%, 0.1%. Like, I mean, it's correlated with rarity. Like the weirder it is, the more rare it is.Dwarkesh Patel 0:26:34Kind of necessarily, because if people had it,Aella 0:26:36then everybody would be like, oh, this is normal. But yeah, my guess is that it's like,Dwarkesh Patel 0:26:39has something to do with like a randomAella 0:26:42early childhood neonatal thing. And like, I haven't been able to find any correlates with childhood stuff, which makes me think it's more innate. And if it's more innate, then it's more likely to have existed for a very long time.Dwarkesh Patel 0:26:53Yeah, yeah. And people who just had weirder and more different experiences in the past. Like if you're just in some sort of cult without any sort of internet or any other sort of experience with the outside world. I don't know, the volatility of your kinks might've just been more, I don't know. Is that possible?Aella 0:27:11Well, the data seems to suggest it's not really based on experience.Dwarkesh Patel 0:27:14Yeah.Aella 0:27:15Mostly, I mean, there's like some small exceptions. Interesting. But, so no, also I'm like, I'm not sure that experience was more varied in the past. Like maybe, like the internet is kind of homogenizing, but.Dwarkesh Patel 0:27:29So, since the FTX saga happened, people have discovered Caroline Ellison's blog. I don't know if you've seen this on Twitter. And now she's become, you know, every nerd's crush because of her online writing.Aella 0:27:40Oh, really? I mostly just see people dunking on her.Dwarkesh Patel 0:27:43Oh yeah, well, there's both, there's both. Do people, this probably wasn't in your kinks survey, but in just general, what is your suspicion about, do people find verbal ability and, you know, that kind of ability very attractive based on online writing or, is that a good signal you can send?Aella 0:28:02I mean, yes, like intelligence and competence is pretty attractive across the board.Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:07So if you're signaling that you're smart. You can signal that by just, I don't know, having a college degree from an impressive university, right, but.Aella 0:28:15I mean, it's like kind of better signal.Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:17Yeah, yeah.Aella 0:28:18Like people who have college degrees from impressive universities, I don't think are really that smart.Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:23Yeah.Aella 0:28:24And like probably like actually demonstrating like direct smartness is a lot more convincing.Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:30Yeah, yeah.Aella 0:28:31So it makes sense.Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:32I think her writing is funny and good. You had this really interesting post. I forgot the title of it, but it was a recent one about how the guys who are being authentic are more attractive.Aella 0:28:44Yeah. The thing that like I noticed while I was doing this, that I was attracted to,Dwarkesh Patel 0:28:49was like somebody like,Aella 0:28:50like sort of being independent of my perspective. Like a lot of time in, when I'm like talking to a guy who I can tellDwarkesh Patel 0:28:56is attracted to me and he's like, I don't know.Aella 0:28:59Like there's a way where he's like trying to orient himself to be what I want. Like very subconsciously, I think, or like subtly in body language, like mirroring, for example, like if I like sit one way and then he sits that way, I'm like, okay, this is an example of like trying to orient yourself into like the kind of person that is going to like be, make me attracted to you. Yeah. I was just like a reasonable strategy. You know, I'm not begrudging anybody this, but I think like women in general are kind of, like it's sort of like an arms race between the genders. And I think women are really attuned to this. Like women are like really good at like sussing out how much authenticity is going on. And so in this experience, when the guy was like talking to me, like some part I noticed that I was like meditating on my experience and connection with this person or these people, I noticed that some part of my brain was like, just like checking like really hard. Like, do I think this person is like masking anything at all right now?Dwarkesh Patel 0:29:54Or is he like unashamed about what he is? Sort of thing. I guess I still understand if somebody is attracted to you, they're going to maybe mirror your body language. What is the way they do that in which they're masking? And what is the way they're doing that in which they're being honest about their intentions? Is it, how does their body language change?Aella 0:30:17Like usually what you are is like quiet and flattering to somebody else. Like when I was like doing this workshop, like people were saying things to me that would typically be considered faux pas. And make people not attracted to you. Like somebody's expressing that they wanted to hurt me,Dwarkesh Patel 0:30:33for example.Aella 0:30:38But like I would prefer somebody do that or something.Dwarkesh Patel 0:30:42Say that they want to or? Yeah. Not to it.Aella 0:30:45Well, not actually hurt me. I prefer not to be hurt most of the time. But there's something like, like there's a way when somebody is like attracted to me and like doing a modified thing. It feels like, one, I don't get to actually know what's going on with them. Like I don't get to see them. I'm seeing like a machine designed to make me feel a certain way. And this is like scary because I don't know what's going on. And I don't know who you are. Like I don't know what's going to happen once you finally have like come and no longer want me anymore. And like somebody who, and it also like is like, my cynic side interprets it as like a dominance thing. Like if you actually don't need me, if your self-worth is not dependent on me whatsoever, if this is like truly an equal game, then you aren't going to need to modify yourself at all. You can just like be who you are, alienate me, like be at risk of alienating me and then f*****g alienate me and you're going to be 100% fine. And like, that's hot. That's hot because like when a guy can signal he doesn't need me, this means that he's like a higher rank than me,Dwarkesh Patel 0:31:51like equal or higher. Yeah. No, okay, so that doesn't sound like authenticity then but it sounds just like how badly do you want me? You know what I mean? Like how, yeah, how eager are you?Aella 0:32:03Well, it's like, it's kind of like a loop or something. Like it's hot to not want somebody, but it's hot because you actually have to not want them. Like it's hot to not have somebody like be trying to get something from youDwarkesh Patel 0:32:17for their purposes.Aella 0:32:19Like just don't conceal.Dwarkesh Patel 0:32:20Right.Aella 0:32:21Like, and even if the thing you're not concealing is like a desperate burning desire, if you're like, man, I just like really would want to bang you and I'm like afraid of what you think of me. And, but I'm like, I want you so bad. Like that's hotter than trying to hide the fact that you're doing it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:32:35Yeah.Aella 0:32:36Yeah. I would like, I would consider banging a guy who's just like laid it all out because like by laying it all out, you're like offering up yourself to be rejected. This means that you're like, you're going to be okay even if I reject you.Dwarkesh Patel 0:32:48And like, that's the, so nice. I wonder how universal that is. Like you go to the average girl and you're just like, I really want to just f**k your face or something. What would happen?Aella 0:32:58I mean, it would probably be polarizing. Yeah. The thing is like by being honest, like you might actually make yourself be rejected. Like the point is not like if you're doing it to be accepted, like that's defeating the purpose. Like you just like offer yourself up and they accept you or they reject you. It's like the stupid f*****g annoying Buddhist concept where like by not trying you get the thing, but you have to like actually not try. You have to actually be in touch with the negative outcome and be like, this is real. And which just happened. Like there, like I probably wouldn't f**k a lot of the guys that I talked to despite non-concealing, but like I still, when they were like open and honest, it still like put them into a frame where they could have been sexual. Whereas like before I was like, you're not even in my landscape of like a potential partner. But like by being honest, I was like, now I'm actually doing the evaluation, like actively doing it and considering you in a sexual way, which was like a big leap.Dwarkesh Patel 0:33:51Yeah, yeah. The Buddhist guy to pick up artistry.Aella 0:33:54I'm like, that's a great, that'd be a great book.Dwarkesh Patel 0:33:57What is charisma? When you notice somebody is being charismatic, like what is happening? Is that body language? Is that internal? And I guess more fundamentally, what is it that you're signaling about yourself when you're being charismatic?Aella 0:34:11I mean, like charismatic, charisma can probably refer to a lot of things, but like the concept that I'm mapping it onto is something like when they make me think that they like me in a way that feels like not needy. And you can break it down into like body language signaling or like social moves. But I think like the core of it is like, like you know when you enter a party and like there's somebody who like is like fun to be around and they really like you, or it seems like they're like welcoming or like, ah, hey, you know, they put you on the back, they make a joke and then they like,Dwarkesh Patel 0:34:43you know, flitter off and you're like, ah, that's that person. Yeah. In movies, TV shows, games, what is the most inaccurate, what do they get most wrong about sex and relationships? What is the trope that's most wrong about this?Aella 0:34:58Well, I mean, okay, I'm, I have a personal pedestal, which might be like slightly besides your question, but like the f*****g monogamy thing. Like I get, I'm down if people want to do monogamy, but it's always, it's like 100% monogamy. And cheating is like always like the worst possible thing ever and that bothers me. I just wish there was a little bit of occasionally, once in a while, there's like, you know, we call it monoplot. My, I have a friend who yelled like monoplot every time there's like a plot, lining in a story that is, could be resolved by being just likeDwarkesh Patel 0:35:32slightly less monogamous.Aella 0:35:34And I'm like, every plot's a monoplot, like you don't even have to be full poly, you just have to like have like a slight amount of flexibility, like, oh, well, then just bring me over for a threesome. Like, but that's not even on the table. I'm like, not, well, not only is it not on the table, but like, it feels like it doesn't represent the general population either. Like around 5% of people are polyamorous and probably like 15 to 30% are like, would be like open to some kind of exploration, like a little bit of looseness, which where is that in media? Nowhere, drives me crazy.Dwarkesh Patel 0:36:01But what you're saying is you take Ross's side and they were on a break. Have you seen Friends?Aella 0:36:06No.Dwarkesh Patel 0:36:07Okay, nevermind. It's a joke. The plot basically of the show, Money Seasons, was that one of the main characters thought he was on a break with his girlfriend and cheated on her or not. He had sex with somebody else. And that was just basically the plot for like three seasons.Aella 0:36:22Oh man. So you've engaged in activities,Dwarkesh Patel 0:36:26which are most likely to change a person, you know, psychedelics, you know, stuff relating to sex. How much do you think people can change? Because you're on like the spectrum of the things that are most likely to change you. You think people can fundamentally change?Aella 0:36:43No, I mean, like, it's like a weird question, but like, no. Like if I had to give a simplistic answer, like I think I'm very much the person that I was when I was a child or a teenager. I think it's like innate stuff is like really strong. Like I have a friend who was adopted, but happened to know both of his adoptive and his biological father, fathers. And so I asked like, what, like, who are you more like? Like which one impacted you more? And he says that he just has the temperament of his biological father, but like all of like the weird quirks and hangups of his adopted one. And I think like when it comes like temperament or like your base brain functioning in general, like this is like much more persistent and less open to change than most people think. Like, I think I'm basically the same as I was pre psychedelics,Dwarkesh Patel 0:37:29except with like a lot of maturity over timeAella 0:37:33being added on.Dwarkesh Patel 0:37:35So your mission to experience every single experience out there, is that, that's not geared towards changing your personality anyway. It just.Aella 0:37:43No, yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:37:44Yeah, yeah. But you're not, you say you can't remember many of these. So what is motivating it? Like it's not to remember it, it's not to change yourself. What is the-Aella 0:37:53Curiosity? I'm just very curious.Dwarkesh Patel 0:37:56I don't know what it's like. Yeah. But it's weird, right? Because when you're curious about something, you hope to understand it and then internalize it. Like if I'm curious about an idea, it would be weird if I like read the book and I forgot about it. It wouldn't feel satisfying to my curiosity.Aella 0:38:11Yeah, well, there's some, like I think a lot of the way people operate is like sometimes you read a book and you might forget the book, but the book like updates your priors. Like the book like describes some way that the world like history worked in the war. And then you sort of like, kind of update your predictions about like the kinds of things that caused war and the kinds of reactions people have. And you forget the book, but you hold the priors. I think that's still really valuable. And I think like a lot of that has happened to me. Like I may have forgotten the experience themselves specifically, but it updated my model of the world. And also like my model of how I react and what I'm capable of. Like I went through like a lot of, you know, intense pain and suffering with psychedelics. And I maybe have forgotten that, but like there's some like deep sense of safety I have now around experiencing pain and grief that like I just carry with me all the time. So like it like sort of molded. And I know that I said that people don't really change, but I mean, that was like a little bit offhanded. Like there's obviously ways people grow. Like obviously people, you're very different from yourself, you know, seven years ago or whatever.Dwarkesh Patel 0:39:08Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. I hope that's the case that you're updating your priors. Cause that would mean that all the books I don't remember, should they have like in some sense been useful to me, but I suspect that that might just be co-op on my end and it's like gone forever.Aella 0:39:23I doubt it. I mean, did you have like any sort of like, ah, that sentence when you were reading the books?Dwarkesh Patel 0:39:28Yeah.Aella 0:39:30That's probably still there.Dwarkesh Patel 0:39:32Hopefully, hopefully. You've done a bunch of internet polls, many of them in statistically significant. What advice do you have for political pollsters based on?Aella 0:39:42I don't really follow political pollsters. I don't know. I mean, advice for polls in generalDwarkesh Patel 0:39:48is just have better wording.Aella 0:39:49Like I'm really surprised. I was, I mean, again, I'm taking a side note, but like I went, I want to include some big five questionsDwarkesh Patel 0:39:56in my really big survey.Aella 0:39:58And I understand that the way that they selectDwarkesh Patel 0:40:00big five questions is just,Aella 0:40:02as far as I know, like factor analysis, you just pick the most predictive questions. So it's not like people were like, ah, this is the question, but still like the wording of the questions was terrible. Like it's so much easier to make clearer questions. And I did use the big five questions. I forget exactly what they were, but I'm just like, is this what's going on with surveys in general? Like you don't want to, you want to be careful when you have a question to have it as worded so that people take them as homogenous a meaning from it as possible. But most of the other polls I see in other surveys and other research, it's like people just sort of thought of a good question and kind of slapped it down and never really deeply dug into like studied how people respond to this question, which I think is probably my best comparative advantage is that I've had like a really massive amount of experience over many years and thousands of polls to see exactly how your wording can be misinterpreted in every possible way. And so right now I think probably my best skill is like knowing how to write something to be as like very precise as possible.Dwarkesh Patel 0:41:02Yeah. How do you come up with these polls by the way? You just have an interesting question that comes up in a discussion or?Aella 0:41:07Often it's with discussions with friends. Like we'll be talking about something and somebody brings up like a concept or a what if. And I just have like a module in my brain now that translates everything to potential Twitter polls. So like whenever something like generates a concept,Dwarkesh Patel 0:41:20I'll go put that in a poll. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the conversation so far. If you are, I would really, really appreciate it if you could share the episode with other people who you think might like it. This is still a pretty small podcast. So it's basically impossible for me to exaggerate how much it helps out when one of you shares the podcast. You know, put the episode in the group chat you have with your friends, post it on Twitter, send it to somebody who you think might like it. All of those things helps out a ton. Anyways, back to the conversation. I found it surprising you've been tweeting about your saga of learning and applying different statistical tools in Python. And I found it surprising, don't you have like a thousand nerdy reply guys who would be happy to help you out? How is this not a soft problem?Aella 0:42:16People are not good at helping you learn Python.Dwarkesh Patel 0:42:18At least not good at helping you.Aella 0:42:20At least not good at helping me learn Python. There are some people who are really good, but sometimes when I'm trying to learn Python, it's like at 3 a.m. and they're all sleeping. So I'm not saying that like everybody, I have some people who are like really excellentDwarkesh Patel 0:42:30at understanding and responding to me.Aella 0:42:31But when I'm tweeting, usually it's like, I don't wanna bother them or they're on break or something. And I have a chat where people help me, but often it's very frustrating. Because I, they just like, they're trying to explain, what I want, the way that I like to learn is, you just give me the code, give me the code that I know works. I do it, I test it, I see it, whether it works. And after that, then I go throughDwarkesh Patel 0:42:51and I try to understand the code.Aella 0:42:52But what people wanna do is they wanna explain to meDwarkesh Patel 0:42:54how it works before they do it.Aella 0:42:55Or, and it's not really their fault, but it's like there's the unfortunate thing where if somebody wants to help you do a problem, usually they have to go do a little bit of research themselves because programming is such a wide, vast landscape. Like people just don't offhandedly know the answer to your question. And so it requires a bit of work on their part. And it requires them being like, oh, maybe it's this. And then they post a bit of code. And, but you don't know, I try it and like it doesn't work. And they're like, ah, well, I'll try this other thing. And then it becomes like a collaborative problem solving process, which is like more annoying to me. I mean, it's necessary. I'm not saying it's their fault at all. It's like my fault for being annoyed. But I just want like, give me the answer. And then we can go through the whole like questions about it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:43:32Have you tried using CoPilot by the way? I haven't.Aella 0:43:34You got it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:43:35Yeah.Aella 0:43:36It's gonna solve all your problems.Dwarkesh Patel 0:43:37That's what people said. Yeah. It's like the ultimate. Okay. Autocompletor. It's like basically what you're asking for.Aella 0:43:42I was like trying to like look into it recently,Dwarkesh Patel 0:43:44but this is like the push that I need to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had heard about it too. And then my friend is just like, I'm gonna watch you install CoPilot right now. Don't say you're gonna install it. And yeah, it's been very valuable.Aella 0:43:57That's good. That's a useful anecdote.Dwarkesh Patel 0:43:59Yeah, yeah. I found your post about hanging out with elites really interesting.Aella 0:44:05Hanging out with elites, yeah. Do you, and I was wondering,Dwarkesh Patel 0:44:08is it possible that all the elites feel the same way about being there that you did? They're all like, this is kind of bizarre and boring. And I guess I'll just try to fit in. You know, is that possible? Or do you think they were actually different?Aella 0:44:22I guess it's probably a little of both. Like I wouldn't be surprised if everybody else felt it more than I thought. But also I would be surprisedDwarkesh Patel 0:44:28if everybody else felt it as much as me.Aella 0:44:30Because like when I do have like, it seems like I do have a like actually very different background than most of the people. And most of the people I asked about their backgrounds and they usually come from like much wealthier familiesDwarkesh Patel 0:44:41than I did.Aella 0:44:42Like went to school. Usually that's a big thing.Dwarkesh Patel 0:44:43They went to college. That's a huge, big, to me,Aella 0:44:47like if you're in my group or not in my group,Dwarkesh Patel 0:44:48is did you go to college? Yeah. And I feel like much more at ease with people who didn't. But when you're talking about these boring conversations, I know you were calling them. Do you think that they also thought it was boring, but that they were supposed to have those conversations? Or do you think they were actually enjoying it?Aella 0:45:01I don't know. Like recently I was at a party and I was like, okay, I'm not, I'm just staying at this party, but like, okay, let's take matters into our own hands. I'm just gonna run up to groups of peopleDwarkesh Patel 0:45:11and ask them like the weirdest question I can think of.Aella 0:45:14And then, and in my mind, I was like, okay, if I'm standing up there, standing at a party and somebody runs up to me with a weird question, I'd be like, f**k yes, let's go. Like, okay, I would like respond with a weirder question. I'd be like, let's dig into this. You know, I would be so f*****g thrilled. And so I was at this party, what I would consider to be like in the crowds of elite. It was like a little bit of a, it was like a party, less like a cocktail thing where people like be smart at each other and more like a get drunk and dance thing. But it was still like a much higher end kind of, so tickets were like really expensive. So I went around, I ran, I asked a whole bunch of people weird questions and just, like people obviously were like down to participate in like somebody trying to initiate conversation with them. But like the resulting conversations were not interesting at all.Dwarkesh Patel 0:45:57I was shocked with like how few conversationsAella 0:46:01were interesting. It was just people,Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:02it was just like, there was nothing there.Aella 0:46:05And I'm like, are you not all desperate to like cling on to something more fascinating than what's currently happening? It seemed like they weren't. I just got that impression.Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:12But do you think they were enjoying what they were doing?Aella 0:46:15That you mean just the normal conversation? Yeah. I think so. If they weren't, they would be searching for something else, right?Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:21That's not obvious to me. Like people can sometimes just be super complacent and they're just like a status quo bias. Or they're just like, I don't wanna do anything too shocking.Aella 0:46:28Yeah, but if I'm handing them shocking on a platter, I run up to them. They didn't even have to do anything. I just like walk into the, I interrupt their conversation. I'm like, here's something.Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:36What is an example?Aella 0:46:38Like, like, like, you know, like what's the most controversial opinion you have?Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:43You just walk in like Peter Thiel.Aella 0:46:44Is that what he does?Dwarkesh Patel 0:46:46Oh, well, he has this, there's a famous Peter Thiel question about what is something you believe that nobody else agrees with you on? Or very people agree with you on.Aella 0:46:53Yeah, okay. I didn't know that, but yeah. My version is like, what's the most controversial? And then usually I say either like in the circle people discussingDwarkesh Patel 0:47:01or like people at this party.Aella 0:47:02And it's shocking how many people are like, I don't have a controversial opinion on. How do you, like out of all culture, like you think that this culture is the one that's 100% right and you don't agree with all of it? Like out of all of history, you think in like 500 years, we're gonna look back and be like, ah, yes, 2022, that was the year.Dwarkesh Patel 0:47:19So in their defense, I think what could be going on is you just have a bunch of beliefs and you just haven't categorized them, indexed them in terms of controversial or not controversial. And so on the spot, it just like you gotta search through every single belief you have. Like, is that controversial? Is that controversial?Aella 0:47:37Yeah, but you can make allowances for it. Like sometimes people are like, ooh, I don't know like which one is the most, you know, I'd have to think like.Dwarkesh Patel 0:47:43I have so many.Aella 0:47:44Right, or like, well, I mean, there's some things I disagree on, but they're not sure they're controversial. Like these count. Like there's like a kind of response people give when you know that the thing, the issue is not that they don't have a controversial opinion, but rather that like it's sorting. But like I've talked to people who are like, oh, I don't really have one. And I was like, you mean you don't have any? And I would like pride, like there's nothing that you believe. And they'd be like, no, not really. And like, maybe they were lying, but like usually people are like,Dwarkesh Patel 0:48:12well, I have one, but I'm afraid to say. And like that's. No.Aella 0:48:17Anyway, I don't know. I don't understand.Dwarkesh Patel 0:48:20I wonder if you were more specific, you would get some more controversial takes.Aella 0:48:24Like what's your most controversial opinionDwarkesh Patel 0:48:25like about this thing? Yeah, yeah. What should the age of consent be? You know what I mean?Aella 0:48:29Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I do questions like that,Dwarkesh Patel 0:48:31but I like the controversial one is a good opener.Aella 0:48:34It's like it gives you a lot of information about the other person. Like it gives you a fresh about what their social group is. But I also like the game. I've started transitioning to a game where I'm like, okay, you have to say a pin you hold. And if anybody in the group disagrees with it, they hold up a hand and you get pointsDwarkesh Patel 0:48:50for the amount of people that hold up a hand. Oh, yeah.Aella 0:48:52And the person who gets the most points wins. Because people have this horrible tendency. Like I'll be like, what's the most controversial opinionDwarkesh Patel 0:48:57that you have in this group?Aella 0:48:59And then they'll say a controversial opinion for the out group. And I'll be like, but does anybody actually disagree with that here? Like, oh, like Trump wasn't as horrible as people say he is.Dwarkesh Patel 0:49:09I'm like. Yeah, no. One interesting twist on that, by the way. Tyler Cowen had a twist on that question in his application for emergent mentors. So everybody's been asking the P.J. Teal question about what do you believe? And nobody else agrees with the most controversial opinion. And so it's kind of priced in at this point. And so Tyler's question on the application was, what is, what do you believe, what is like your most conventional belief? Like what is the thing you hold strongest that most people would agree with you on? And it kind of situates you in terms of what is the, where are you overlapping with the status quo?Aella 0:49:47Like, I feel confused about this. So I would probably say something like gravity is real.Dwarkesh Patel 0:49:52No, exactly. I think he's like looking for. Oh, something like that? You being conventional in a contrarian way. Maybe you just said something weird. Like, I believe that the feeling of the waves on my skin is beautiful and feels great, you know? It just shows you're not answering it in the normal way.Aella 0:50:08Oh, he wants the non-conventional answer.Dwarkesh Patel 0:50:10Yeah, yeah.Aella 0:50:12Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that question though. Like I'm like not sure that question is like, like the best question to test for non-conventionality.Dwarkesh Patel 0:50:18Yeah, yeah. I would have thought by the way, that high-end escorts would be very familiar with elite culture. Because you watch these movies and these, you know, these escorts are going with rich CEOs at fundraiser dinners and stuff like that. I would have thought that actually the high-end escorts would be like very familiar with elite culture. Is that not the case or?Aella 0:50:38I mean, probably some are, but I'm not. I mean, like I've had a few people offer to take me to public events, but never actually happened. I've never appeared, like been hired to be aroundDwarkesh Patel 0:50:51like a man's social circle.Aella 0:50:53Usually people are very private about that.Dwarkesh Patel 0:50:55That's interesting. Because I would have thought one of the things rich men really probably want to do is signal social status. Probably even, potentially even more than have sex, right?Aella 0:51:04Maybe.Dwarkesh Patel 0:51:05To show that they have beautiful women around them.Aella 0:51:07Yeah, I think my guess is they would be seen as high risk. And I've known other escorts who have in fact been brought to events. So it's not that this doesn't happen, but like, I don't think it happens a lot,Dwarkesh Patel 0:51:17at least based on my experience. No, interesting.Aella 0:51:20It's possible that I'm not like pretty enough. It's possible that like a woman is very beautiful that she might get invited more often.Dwarkesh Patel 0:51:25But my guess is like,Aella 0:51:29like they can't trust that I know enough to be able to pass as an elite in those circles. Like I'm a weirdo sex worker who the f**k knows. Like, am I going to be doing drives in the bathroom? Am I going to be ta

Every Family Needs a Will by #InvestopediaYour Will spells out who will get your assets after you die. A will is a legal document that puts in writing your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and the care of any minor children. If you die without a will, your wishes may not be carried out. And your heirs will end up spending additional time, money, and emotional energy to settle your affairs after you're gone.Obviously no single document can resolve every issue that arises after your death, your will—officially known as a last will and testament can come pretty close. Here's what you need to know about these vital documents.FactoidsA will is a legal document that spells out your wishes regarding the care of your children, as well as the distribution of your assets after your death.Failure to prepare a will typically leaves decisions about your estate in the hands of judges or state officials and may also cause family strife.You can prepare a will yourself, but you should have the document witnessed to decrease the likelihood of successful challenges later.To be completely sure everything is in order, consider having your will prepared by a trusts and estates attorney.More About Why You Need a Will Some people think that only the very wealthy or those with complicated assets need wills. However, there are many good reasons to have a will.You can be clear about who gets your assets. You can decide who gets what and how much.You can keep your assets out of the hands of people you don't want to have them (like an estranged relative).You can identify who should care for your children. Without a will, the courts will decide.Your heirs will have a faster and easier time getting access to your assets.You can plan to save your estate money on taxes. You can also give gifts and charitable donations, which can help offset the estate tax.

This week I go deep into a great conversation with two of the best video experts I am blessed to know, Owen and Theresa Hemsath, the founders of Acceleratus Media. Owen's transparent, level-headed approach to his struggles with cancer and how it applies to the video marketing world reminds us of what truly matters as entrepreneurs. There's a lot to unpack inside, but what I love most about this episode is that you'll hear the truth about Youtube and why most entrepreneurs misuse it. Owen and Theresa teach coaches, podcasters, and speakers how to produce video content to increase their visibility and get more customers with organic Youtube videos. Whether you've started a YouTube channel or not, this conversation will help you generate leads without fancy cameras, expensive editing, or memorizing scripts. What You'll Discover In This Episode - Why you need to stop making momentum a mistress inside your business- Three objectives to solve every time you create video content- Why you need to treat Youtube more Like Netflix than just social media- How to create viral content with authenticity Time Stamps00:00 Intro to the dynamic duo 04:35 Owen breaks down his journey with cancer 09:02 Owen shares three big objectives to aim for in business 10:21 George asks Theresa & Owen about mitigating stress and anxiety14:21 Owen shares how his battle with cancer is a lot like entrepreneurship 23:58 George asks Theresa about balancing entrepreneurship through it all29:12 Owen shares how he is doing less work and making more money34:02 The power and importance of video in your branding 41:22 Why most entrepreneurs fail at youtube and how to create magnetizing content49:22 How to get rid of the perfectionist mindset and be yourself  Quotes Reactivity in entrepreneurship just prolongs the unforeseen circumstance- GB I've really learned the value of slowing down to speed up. - Owen Hamseth  Subtraction is the secret to scale every single time- GB You don't need a million views.

If you don't already follow Jess on Instagram (I would recommend that you do!), you're going to hear why we love her so much.

Would you move your data science project from a laptop to the cloud? Would you also like to have snapshots of your project saved along the way so that you can go back in time or share the state of your project with another team member? This week on the show, we have Savin Goyal from Netflix. Savin is the technical lead for machine learning infrastructure at Netflix. He joins us to talk about Metaflow, an open-source tool to simplify building, managing, and scaling data science projects.

Learn from a master of brand building, Barry Enderwick, former Netflix marketing executive and now head of Kaizen Creative Partnerships. We talked with Barry one on one about the ingredients every distributor needs to succeed, what your brand promise is (and how to keep it), what a start up can do "build their brand bank" from day one ... and much more!

At 18, Jay Olenicz decided to break a world record. Four years later, Jay and his brother embarked on the 48-day journey across the Atlantic that would earn them three Guinness World Records. After several near-death experiences and countless hours of reflection, Jay conducted a reassessment of his life. This profound experience inspired him to quit his management consulting job in Bristol, UK, and start a travel tech startup in early 2020. Jay is the CEO and Co-founder of Staze, a travel app that allows you to book last-minute “holiday” rentals for discounted prices and provides travel recommendations so that you don't have to worry about deciding where to go. What is the PROBLEM that Staze is solving? When Jay was a management consultant, he traveled and stayed at Airbnb's so often that he realized that he could get significant discounts on luxurious Airbnb accommodations if he contacted the owners last-minute and asked for a discount. He and his Co-founder, Henry, realized there was no marketplace for discounted rentals. The Problem for Travelers: The process of traveling and booking last-minute vacations is fundamentally broken. On average, it takes fours hours of research for someone to find a place to travel. Travel, in its current archaic state, is like Blockbuster 20 years ago, where you would have to choose what movie to rent out of a selection of 100s of options. Additionally, without a market for discounted rentals, most travelers will spend a lot of money unnecessarily. The Problem for Hosts: In the UK, holiday rentals are unoccupied 45% percent of the time throughout the year, which amounts to about about 50 million nights per year. But this isn't just a problem in the UK, it is a global problem. Across the world, there are 1.2 billion nights per year of holiday rentals that are unoccupied. This is a massive amount of money that is being lost. What is Staze's SOLUTION? Staze saves travelers money by giving them access to last minute holiday rental deals and they save hosts money by maximizing the utility of their properties. Like Netflix recommends shows, Staze personalizes your travel search based on your preferences. By using travel preferences (such as cost and distance) and leveraging an AI engine, they save “thinking” time for their consumers by reducing the four hours it usually takes to book a trip down to four minutes. As a result, Staze helps people travel more for less and also helps property managers to maximise their revenue. Staze's mission is to “enable people to live fun, free, and fulfilled lives through experiential exploration.” 2 Value Bombs When you're able to disconnect from the world, you're able to reconnect with yourself on a deep level. Devoid your environment of external stimuli, and you will have no choice but to go deeply within yourself. When you have a two-sided marketplace, target the acute pain points for those on both sides of the equation. In Staze's case, they increased travel demand by minimizing the cost and time it takes to travel, which incentivizes hosts to offer up more rental properties.

Good Sean. Doing well. How are you doing today? I am doing fantastic. You know how you make an hour with snow shoveling and you'd done there, or what

Marcela Avelina is inspirational, layered, and great to talk to. What else could CATALINA's youngest journalist and podcaster ask for? The singer, song writer, and actress takes time out of her crazy busy day to tell Cristina about her new Netflix teen drama Grand Army. And then she opens up about the making of her new music, including the single “Took Me Out” (which Cristina could not stop listening to for a couple of days. To be honest, the CATALINA staff was quickly addicted to the chill-out vibe coming from the speakers as well.) Look for Marcela in our new Motivational Issue (the Special 2020 Election Issue) with amazing fellow Latinas ready to rule the world. It's grand. Like Netflix's Grand Army ... and Marcela. 

NBC Universal thinks some of its cable channels like E or SyFy won't last in a streaming world… so says the wall street journal Sources tell the journal that NBC thinks the future looks like Netflix. “Consumers will increasingly choose shows directly” with little regard for traditional schedulers or gatekeepers NBC's cable boss Jeff Shell "is centralizing decision-making and dramatically slimming down the cable unit,"  “Top executives are getting squeezed out.” says the article… “and more job cuts are expected.” The company's focus is squarely on Peacock, their new streaming platform, "which had 15 million sign-ups as of last week." On that note, I'm James Brown and I good you bid night Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey, welcome to the one and only IT in the D show. This is episode 349 happy Memorial day to everybody listening. Hopefully you didn’t give him a moment of silence today to all the men and women that have made the ultimate price and certainly our freedoms appreciate it. Um, it is because of people like you that we can be the self-entitled jerk wads that we are and we need, we appreciate from our homes. I think this is what our 10th or eighth edition of a foreign team, uh, something like that. Yeah. Yeah. This is, I’m a, if you don’t know me, I’m Bob the sales guy that’s named the geek. I do. The Twitters is doing the Twitter’s. You can find us online at [inaudible] dot com do us a favor. Give us a like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere fine podcasts are sold…       except for podcast addict cause apparently just took them off. Yeah, they got, they got pulled back. Oh, they’re back now. Yeah. But, uh, and as per usual, this is usually the part of the show where we talk about our upcoming events and we ain’t gotten an a in can. In fact, I actually just canceled the, uh, the Facebook listing for the Anarbor event cause that was still on the agenda. Um, yeah, because our governor just extended our stay home, stay safe again until June 12th. Yeah, exactly. So everybody in Trevor city shout out to all my friends up there. No kidding. Travers city is packed. Well, and then they did, apparently they had, um, a couple of people that showed up, uh, positive. Um, obviously they didn’t catch it there, like I said, a couple. Um, and so they showed up. Uh, I guess they, you know, they went up and had it and just, you know, developed worse symptoms while they were there. So yay. You know, I think we all were kind of expecting those kinds of stories. Um, but yeah, I mean it’s, and it was, uh huh. Well, yeah, no, I mean we’ll see more, I’m sure. Uh, but yeah, I mean it’s, you know, things got relaxed a little bit. You can have gatherings of 10 or more, you know, or 10 or fewer. Sorry. Um, and, uh, so yeah, I was, I’ve, I’ve been surprised. Uh, I left the house a couple of times, like just run a couple errands and, uh, yeah, there’s a lot of cops out, so go figure holiday weekend. Uh, and the first time that gatherings are allowed, uh, there’s an awful lot of police on the streets. Well, everyone’s current, you know, like crazy. It’s kind of like, uh, you know, the, the Toga party just opened up. It’s like, you know, like there’s a running like Forrest Gump to get to wherever they need to get to. You know what I mean? We’ve all been cropped up in months, man. Everybody’s going stir crazy. What are you going to do? Um, yeah. I mean, I’m not gonna lie. I’m feeling it too. Yeah, no, I don’t blame you. Um, a couple of interesting things changed this weekend. So we talked last week about my Buddhist legal came back on this weekend or blasted. And so this weekend I’m watching and two things change. Uh, they started piping in cheers and chants, crowd chants, and they basically masked off the crowd the seats with, with advertising. I’m watching it and I go usually use that kind of passively watch. I’m not actively watching. It’s kind of a reading news. It’s, I’m drinking coffee, you know what I mean? It’s like kind of been my Sunday tradition for years and years and years and years and it sounds the same. And I go, wait a minute, there’s like full on chance going on and I look up and sure. Shit, empty arena. So where are they piping it in from? Is it from past games? Is it like, are they like, where are they paddle? I don’t, I don’t know. I would love to, I mean it’s going through the PA speakers. It can’t be coming like, it can’t be coming in remotely from bars. So I got an engineer pushing the cheer button when their team is doing. There was a, a, there was this part like where the ball like dismissed the net. Oh, you heard like it was bizarre. Like interesting. Yeah. It just, just to watch it and be like, wait a minute. Their chin, like when the guy’s doing a throw in and the chance to be kind of pumped up a little bit. Interesting themes down when it’s in play. No, it was uh, it was, it was pretty, you know, and it was clean. It wasn’t awkward. It wasn’t dumb. Yeah. It wasn’t, yeah. It wasn’t like a badly dubbed movie or anything. No, it wasn’t laugh tracks on Brady munch. I saw Mikey posted something earlier where apparently they’re bringing fans back into the WWE. If I read that correctly. This was my call. Like all everyone that’s backstage and crew and shit, I go, why don’t they have them every three seats apart. Gotcha. And so that’s what they’re doing. They’re bringing in anyone that was booked that wasn’t booked for the show. Um, we’re all backstage, all the ring crew, all, all the truck drivers, basically, you know, anyone, you know, sitting in three seats apart and letting them holler, um, which I’m completely fine with. Um, no, it makes sense. Here’s a weird thing. Um, somebody posted, so the wrestling events that their cup that are toying, the idea of putting ice hockey plexiglass in front of the crowd, I mean you got that fake punch spray coming in your face. So I mean the, you know, I got the guy behind me screaming. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. The people that are literally a foot behind you cause you can’t even like sit with your knees straight in front of you in those seats. Right. And then, um, another thing, uh, you know, I’m a huge of a NASCAR. I am just kidding what I saw NASCAR on and I thought it was video game MasterCard. I just kind of wanted to watch it cause it’s weird and it was actually live car racing, so I was like, that was empty arena. Um, but I’m like, okay. You know. So I’m curious like, so the pit crews, like were they all mashed up? Were they good? I didn’t want to watch it. That was enough that I just go, okay, no crowd item should, should have taken one for the team and kept watching Bob. But uh, no. So that will, I guess, speaking of cars, I mean I guess the uh, the dream cruise, um, is officially canceled, uh, officially canceled. Whether or not it’s, there’s still going to be a shit ton of cars on Woodward is, is still remains to be seen. But yeah, I got it. I got a theory that it’s going to be the, probably one of the bigger ones we’ve ever seen, but you just not going to get the people in the lawn chairs and the Boulevard people in their cars driving back and forth. Yeah. Stop the driving of the cars, but all the supplementary events and all the cities along Woodward are definitely off. Well, yeah, because all the bars and restaurants are closed and all that stuff. So yeah, I was on YouTube going around and it was some video of Karen stops, little boy’s hot rod party, like 5 million views and it’s a week old and I’ll go put it on. Apparently it was in Texas, this little kid, his birthday, he wanted a hotline for murder. He’s like 10 years old or whatever and every this hot rod loves it. All right, we’ll take a lap through your neighborhood and rev up our engines. Well, this one frumpy short hair lady gets in front of the entire recession. Stop. I said four cop cars, come screaming in, sirens blaring, and then find out what’s going on. So basically they apologize. What was she doing? Like the Tiananmen square tank guy like, yeah, so they have a, so they have a part due, um, this past weekend and literally everyone in the entire neighborhood is actually really awesome to watch. Drove across her lawn. Everyone came out of their house. There was like everyone, like everyone’s family. We went on the front lawn or like sit in the driveway and it was just like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of peoples, you know, I mean, in their own house. That’s very cool. Watch it. Yeah. And then people brought out Lamborghinis and they weren’t doing anything illegal. They’re just revving up their engines. These two videos were like 7 million people. That’s crazy. Well, and I mean, and that’s the thing. I mean like, you know, you and I, you know, we both had our birthdays, you know, during this nonsense and I don’t, you know, okay, fine. We didn’t get one bar night, you know, hanging out with the guys. Um, but like for kids that’s, you know, it’s kind of a bigger deal. Like, you know, birthdays still really matter to them and that kind of stuff. And so it does kind of suck for them. Well that’s the one thing like, uh, Gretchen’s really good friends turned 18 and she’s like, I can’t miss it. I’m like, go like, she has like two friends over this. Yeah, you can’t, how are you going to miss that? She turned 16 in June, so it’s like we got it, we’re talking today. What are we doing now? True. Well, and then the other thing that got canceled as a theater bizarre. Yeah. Well you had, you figured they had to because they got to start building that set like now and that things like year long thing. So yeah, that got canceled. And then here’s the weird one. Um, I had a ministry cam at the M tickets in July and I craft work tickets in July and Kraftwerk just said it was postpone at the Masonic but ministry, uh, I got an email saying your tickets have been reissued for April 21st, 2021 I had to do a triple take. I’m like April already passed. I go Holy shit next year. And I’m like, alright, whatever. I’ll put that on the calendar next year. Looking forward to that. I mean I thought July was far away to go to this concert. I think I bought the tickets in January. Um, dude, did you see that? I just sent it today cause it just leaked. But the episode nine, the dual, the fades concept art. Yeah. Not only the concept art but the actual storyline story got released and they’re basically saying, okay, would you rather have seen this version? And they were showing like basically it was Kyla went and got trained. It was in a clone Wars when Anaconda was in that weird force, like a alternate universe. I don’t know if you remember that one. Weird like, so it was like Tyler, when you learn how to pull souls or pull a light forces, um, Ray went more like y’all black, like return to the Jedi. Luke is a double sided double side. Um, blue, blue double ended. But like the whole story was different and I don’t know if it would’ve made it better or worse, like at the end, basically what happened was, uh, Kylo tried to kill her kill Ray by pulling all their light for us and in between he like caught himself that he like had love for her, so he gave her back, which killed him, but then it gave Ray dark side. So then like, you know, and then it was supposed to end with, um, Ray opening up a Jedi thing with the broom boy from eight. So like, it was insanely different movie. They were supposed to go to chorus, um, in chorus that was like layered, like, or enrich like they were building on top of it. They showed you that in the prequels and I’m blanking. Uh, whatever the guy from taken. Um, yeah, they were on, yeah, when they went into the bar where the guy was smoking joints and like offered [inaudible] they showed like that whole layering thing and when, uh, yeah, the assassination attempt on pad may and that was on, but they showed you all the different levels and that featured really heavily in the clone Wars cartoons too, so. Yeah. But if you, uh, if you get a chance, you know, and then they split off like pole and Finn split off, then Rose, you know what I mean? Like it was all like, it was basically two different movies. Um, I don’t know. It didn’t look like it was you could make, you could make that and I’d be fine with it. I’d watch it again, like make the remake, do me a favor. Do it. Did you, um, speaking of that, did you see the redo of the episode four, scene 38? I wanna say it was the, uh, obiwan Darth Vader when obiwan died and someone went in and like, here’s the thing, um, George Lucas, I know you’re listening. You gave us a remake, like adding like little aliens, like with eating. Yeah. Nobody, nobody needed an extra Duback. Nobody. Nobody needed that. Nobody needed, yeah. Like this with this guy, with what? No budget was like, Oh my God, that was good. Like, I don’t know what you thought. Oh dude. I mean, just, I mean, visually amazing. And that’s one of the things, I mean, you look at, well, I mean, and the other thing to keep in mind is, okay, so the special additions came out in 96 and so, you know, you’ve got 23 years since then, you know, I mean, you know, granted they were running everything on SGI machines and all that kind of stuff. I mean, they had some horsepower, but I mean, the technology has gotten so much better now. I mean, God, I mean there’s this shit you can, I mean, you can film a movie and make a movie on your phone now. Um, you know, so look any worse, no. Lay a CGI and target worse than that. No. And it won’t. God, I mean the Tarkin CGI, I still cringe over, but the lay one, I think they did a great job on, um, but yeah, no, absolutely. Uh, think you’re, the problem was they did like the rogue one Bader with the red saber. That was like, I was cool with it, but it’s like, all right, it’s been done. But everything else, man, I mean, considering it was a one man job, that kid knocked it out of the park. I’m assuming it’s a kid. If you haven’t seen an episode, uh, episode four, scene 38 visited. Um, Oh my God, it was good. So are you, uh, you waiting on anything to be delivered currently? Oh God. Mad about it though. Um, well, so it’s funny. So like, I, you know what I’m saying? I got the extra like corner piece, uh, for the bar and that kind of stuff that I’ve been setting up. Um, and so, uh, so I think it was Thursday, uh, I ordered three straight pieces too to fill in the, fill in the gaps and add some extra shelf space and all. So the three straight pieces were all in one shipment, one got delivered Thursday, the entire order still says out for delivery. So I have no idea where the hell those other two pieces are. Um, and apparently the Oak park distribution center for FedEx is just a disaster area. Like it, it’s just, it’s apparently completely chaotic. Um, people have been waiting, you know, weeks if not more than a month, uh, for things to come out of there. They’ve, you know, basically, you know, people have like gone there to try to pick up their packages and been told that they can’t, uh, but unloaded yet. So they have no idea. They know the packages on what truck, but you know, 400 other packages are there too. So you can’t be mad about it though. You know what’s going on. Oh yeah, no, dude, it’s like my, I did my shit. I’m not, when it gets here, it gets here. It’s, you know, things I’ll screw around with. But I mean that kind of dovetails with one of the other stories that a lot of the eCommerce sites are seeing a huge spike in business on quote unquote quote unquote nonessential items. Giving crap away. Yeah. I bought, um, you know, I had to buy it, I got to buy all new shorts. Right. Basically all my shorts except for like two pair or like fall off me. You know what I mean? Cited by new shorts. Um, do everywhere is getting them away for like 10, $11. Like these really nice golf, uh, Walter Hagen golf shirts I bought for like 11 bucks from dicks. Like I’m not going to not buy those. Yeah. Those are not essential. Yeah. And when they, when they get here, they get here. Who cares? Yeah. Yeah. And I got my smokey and the bandit Funko pop. Beautiful. Hey, speaking of which, did you see the uh, nice. Nice. Yeah. Oh, he’s even in the car. That’s fantastic. Um, speaking of which, you know, related, cause it’s Burt Reynolds, did you see the, uh, the Cannonball run records have been decimated over the course of the past three weeks. So in order to do it though, don’t you don’t, you have to average like 138. So they were saying some of these States, uh, they’re averaging 120, 130 miles an hour through. Um, and the previous record I believe was 29 hours, if I recall correctly. And it’s coast to coast. So I mean it’s 12, 29 hours to go, you know, 2000 odd miles. Um, and apparently the new record is just over 25 hours. Um, you know, because there’s nobody on the roads, there’s nobody around. And so now there’s this whole, you know, Oh it doesn’t really count cause it’s not normal traffic conditions and all that kind of crap. Is it just because you hit a home run because it’s windy, does it mean it ain’t a hole? Exactly. And you know, so they’re talking about how, you know, these cars are, you know, all loaded up with like Marine tanks of extra gas so they don’t have to stop. And just it was an, and one of the things in the story was that apparently they’ve been working on a reboot of course. Um, and, and we’ve talked about this a few times, like, you know, who would you want to see in the, you know, in the reboot of a Cannonball run. Uh, but yeah, no, I mean it’s, it, it was just interesting to see like, you know, the average and that kind of crap that they were getting across the country. It’s just freaking insane. Then you got to where I want you to bring a milk jug or have a stadium pal scrap. Yeah, exactly. Of course. You know, based on what I’ve seen on 94 and six 96 the past couple of weeks, that doesn’t surprise me at all that people are driving that fast. No kidding. They’re nuts. Seriously. They’re nuts. Oh my God, dude, I’ve never laughed so hard. I swear to God, I think my wife thinks there’s something chemically wrong with me sometimes she’s, sometimes there’s the drug commercials. It’s already stupid. She’s in the medical field now. He’s asked her like, do people come up to you going can I have Zoloft cause I saw commercial dancing like I go, that doesn’t work, doesn’t it? Like you’re going to prescribe what they need, not what they see on TV. We’ll share and shit. There’s a, is it called talions or something? It’s diabetes and the only reason I stopped some reading or whatever while this was going on, there’s a woman in the middle of a, like a football field, little marching band, and they’re like, side effects may include a fetal fungal infection of the parent Niamh and then on the bottom bottom they have a written description. The parody of is the area between the genitals and the anus. So you don’t have diabetes anymore, but now you got tantrums fungus, you take a pill that stops the beat as you like. That’s what of those like I want to see. I want to know what the correlation there is. Like what, what is it doing to you? What is it doing to your body chemistry that cures diabetes but gives you taint fungus. But then the ladies in a marching band on a football field, you catches up football. I can talk about it like, what the hell? Like I’m living a normal life again. I want boardroom going. Okay. There’s an advertisement to see that I had to write this type graph. Yeah. The glorious life of an advertising copywriter. That’s, that’s what that is. That’s, yeah, that’s, that’s just phenomenal. It reminds me when we went to birthing classes and they were like, they were talking about ripping the paradigm, and I used to be really loud. I’m like, Oh, it used to be, is that the Gucci kicked under the table? I’m looking for the medically accurate definition. Yeah. So speaking of, uh, the Gooch, um, and segue, uh, mr Joe, mr Joe Rogan’s getting paid. Hey dude, uh, again, goals. You know, just like when, uh, when it got announced that Gimlet got bought for $237 million, uh, yeah. So Rogan just signed a hundred million dollar deal, uh, with Spotify, which, I mean, think about it. It’s, you know, it, I get it. You know, it’s, I think Spotify is trying to, Spotify is trying to be what Sirius XM became when stern went there. Um, you know, it’s, you know, so I get it. So they basically, there’s, so there’s an article that came up and did the math, and we’ll talk about more math in a minute, but they were saying like, um, stern was making 90 million a year from Sirius XM. They’re basically said Rogan probably left 300, 400 million on the table, 500 million on the table by doing it this way, he’s going exclusive, so he’s going to lose listenership and viewership because after the end of the year, his stuff won’t be available as full episodes on YouTube anymore. You know what? I bet. I bet he won’t YouTube what’s up? He gets to keep YouTube clips. I saw it, but not the full episodes anymore. Oh, I mean, nobody was watching him for four hours on YouTube and I’m not going to switch podcast apps for one podcast that people will, I mean, a lot, dude. I mean a lot of people said, Oh, I’m never getting satellite radio. And then all of a sudden, Oh shit, stern went there. Guests, guests, I’m getting satellite radio. Yeah. And I guess this guy, Brittany wrote this article on super cast and said, you just basically buy Rogan’s numbers. He was estimating, he makes, what, 60 million a year? I read. Well, and I, and I, you know, honestly, and that’s the thing. I mean, I get it and they’re talking like, you know, leaving money on the table and that kind of shit. But I mean, at some point in time, dude, if you’re getting a hundred million dollars, does it matter that you’re leaving maybe another hundred out there? Do you care? Do you jump to 3 billion went insane within the first 24 hours of that announcement? So, I mean, that’s, that’s the thing. I mean, it’s, you know, I don’t, I, well obviously I don’t blame them. Um, you know, and it takes away all the headaches and hassles of having to worry about ad sales and all that crap on his own or his own staff and that kind of shit. Just let them do it. Why not? Right. I know. Anyways, congratulations to Rogan. I guess it’s a big step. Yeah dude. Cheers. Even though we hate you cause you keep stealing all of our ideas. But cool. Well after this goes through, is he still a podcast? Yes, it is still a podcast. I saw that debate and it’s, and it’s one of those, you know, Oh it’s going to be openly available on, you know, via an RSS feed. And I mean in technically speaking it is, it’s just only going to one destination. I mean it’s no different than, um, so like the businesses that record with us and only distribute their stuff over their own internal RSS feeds. Is that a podcast? Cause it’s not publicly available. Yeah, it’s still a podcast. Their own staff listens to it. Who gives a shit what stern is or what, what Rogan is. It’s a talk show and we listened to it. It’s, you know what I mean? Does it matter when it’s labeled? He called, he called this shit. I’m just saying, speaking of which, Dave, I know, you know, everyone’s going stir crazy being crept up in the house. It’s become, I’m starting to get the calculator out because it’s math season. Um, and I’m starting to get, I’m starting to get wet season math season. You know, one of my favorite things to do ever is one of these memes that has bad math. And I like to correct people. I don’t correct people’s English. I correct their math. That’s what I’ve been doing this since the internet started. Um, my latest one is for only 3% of the military’s budget. We can end world hunger. So I went out and said, okay, I gotta do the math. And basically there’s a 3% of the military’s budget is about $36 billion, if I remember. And there’s what, 5.575 point 7 billion or no, I’m sorry, seven point something billion people on the backward, 7.5 billion people on the earth work. The math worked out to $3 and 77 but, okay, so, but you’re doing, you’re doing a global application. Okay. So not all, not all 7 billion people are suffering from hunger, you know, so I mean, you’ve, you’ve got to do that. So then they get $30 I’m just saying you can add two zeros, $300 it’s still about ending anything. Yeah. You know, you get to, someone gets to eat good for a little bit. They get a, they get a couple of weeks of their groceries covered. That’s, yeah. One week, you know, or whatever. I don’t care what you’re, yeah. If you’re on, let’s see, you can get, yeah, whatever. And then the other one was, um, Oh my God, you’ve been driving me nuts. Oh, if we liquidate all the billionaire or no, if we take all the billionaires money in the U S we can get healthcare and we can get all our stuff forever. Because billionaires keep all their money in cash, like Scrooge McDuck, Scrooge McDuck vault, and, and underneath mattresses in the Stevens account making 0.25% they sleep on it. That’s what they do. They sleep on it and you can just check it out of the bank. Then we can get all our stuff. People don’t, I don’t think people understand what net worth actually means. I really don’t. I mean like, you know, every building downtown is worth whatever million dollars and unless someone owns it and they’re worth that much money, so you know, so you got to liquidate and get Casper. You don’t get cash for that shit. Anyway, dude speaking to downtown, I got to shoot it to you if you haven’t seen it yet. Apparently there’s some new loft, um, uh, like studio loft thing that got built just off of Eastern market. And don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful and everything. Asking price is 1.6 million. We’re out big of a lot. Um, I mean it’s good size, but it’s one point $6 million right off each of the market every once in a while through real estate just to see what’s going on. I’m a real estate stupid right now, especially downtown. Oh yeah. And then like in the, in the West end, um, Oh my God, is it like, I think there were like $700,000 for like a two bedroom in the West end. Um, the ones in Royal Oak that started at like 300,000. Those are five right now. Yeah, I remember those. Yeah. Um, it’s just, it’s not even, it’s, it’s, it’s stupid how much, uh, how ridiculous prices got. Yeah. I don’t, I, yeah, I mean that’s one of those things where I’m like, Hey, you know what, if you’ve got it and you want to burn it more power to you, um, you know, with all the churn that’s going on in Royal Oak or those things even going to be worth that. Who knows. I’m gonna get, speaking of dumb things, did you, uh, have you seen the health director of LA, the photos of her dude? She is the unhealthiest looking person I’ve ever seen in my life. She looks like the guy from Poltergeist two. I saw the one from a man in black with a puppy or the dog, whatever. He’s like a street vendor or due to Jesus. What was it like? Like cocoon? Like what? Like one of the things that came out of there. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Here’s the, here’s where it gets funny. Somebody put this on their Facebook feed and it basically got marked as false information checked by fact checkers. So it’s like, Oh my God, they fact-checked it opinion cause someone put the health director of LA as the most unhealthy looking for it and it got marked as a false information. See why and it blanked up a photo. Like if it was like if it was something of Gore, you know what I mean? When they usually say like click to see photo. So did like, was that because somebody randomly marked it as fake or because Facebook was going through and marked it as fate like that checked by independent fact checkers. See why you could click see why I’m assuming this was some algorithm gone wrong that sent it to fact checkers in the first place. Right. But then like of course the first comment is low mile, they fact checked and opinion. I’m sorry, did you pronounce it Lamar? I totally did. He did. Uh, who you know, the uh, the singer of the theme from neverending story, uh, used to be a member of, uh, the lead singer for Casha Gugu that’s pronounced a little bow. What are you supposed to say? L M a L laughing my ass off. It was only the first, the L was capital, then it was under case. So that’s a word or apparently it’s L apostrophe Mao. It’s Lamar. It’s French. By the way. I found my new super sweet 16 show. Hold it, keep talking. I, I’m, I’m watching one of my blended shows and the whole show that we’re ripping on the show on TLC called Dave. And did Randy, have you seen this? No, it’s not my type of show at all. I find out I’ve never heard of it and I come to find out there’s like five scenes of this crap. Um, and they’re, at least they’re the children I was watching. They were making fun of this guy who, uh, do you remember He-Man? He looked like Ram man. God, the man had eaten like this, like no net. Like literally like I can’t even just like, and these are, so what they basically did is they followed like eight people who met someone online and most of them were like out of the country. I decided that when you, when you had that topic, I’m bringing in an expert. So this, this, this, this is Lauren from the new show and the network called trash pandas all about trash TV. And my name is Lauren Walker and I love rap and and so they’ve been talking about 90 day fiance for the last two weeks. Oh my God. [inaudible] and watch two episodes. I watched the one guy basically the one guy with no neck with like the 22 year old. Yeah. I don’t even know how he buys dress shirts the whole show. Well so let me, let me, let, let me paint the picture. So there’s, so for those like me who have never seen it, so what is the premise? What, what is 90 day fiance? People that have met online? Lord, correct me if I’m wrong, people that have met online that are like going to get married I guess within 90 days, right? Those 90 days. But they’re always there from so many different country. Like there was a guy from Vegas, like a 60 year old guy was some shit from the Ukraine or Russia. When I hear a fiance, I think like those mail order bride and they have like fiance, fiance visas and that kind of stuff. You know what, in the first couple of seasons they didn’t really have that. There’s more than one season. Oh yes. Yeah. Oh yes. There are so many seasons. Yeah. Well that’s the thing is that there are about seven different 90 day fiance spin-offs. We have like 90 day fiance, which is uh, Americans that bring their significant other that they met online to America on a K one visa, which means they have to be married within 90 days. Otherwise they have to return to their home country. But then we also have native fiance the other way before the 90 days just landed. There are so many other ones. And I’m sorry. Hello talk, there is pillow talk too and there’s also a 90 day Beyonce what now? And I have a Beyonce. Um, there’s so many, like there’s the one that was hilarious. So there’s a 60 year old guy from Vegas with this, like really pretty Ukraine, Russian, whatever. Yeah. They’ve been talking for, Oh my God. You know, their names are still pathetic. Um, they, they’ve been talking for seven years and she finally gives them some of the address to go meet her and it’s some old Russian guy and he’s like, I don’t speak Russian. And he’s like, the guy’s dumbfounded that he like you said this wrong apartment. But then like he went, he met her for real. Like it’s some town square like I totally, I’m fast forwarding through it, I’m not watching it. And I’m like, Oh my God. He ended up really beating her and he’s like trying to hug her and her arms are at her side like that. Like, like I’m not hugging you. Oh yeah, she’s very standoffish. They go for like a bowling dates and he’s like, if I get a strike he says, first of all he starts it off by saying that he was a competitive bowler and he’s like, if I get a strike then you have to kiss me. And he is just like getting like one pin down. He rolls a gutter ball like, so my question is, she speaks 0.0 English. How did they talk for seven years online? They do it through an app where, or like a website where they like have people that translate it and then send it for you and he has to pay for every message he sends to her. So you don’t remember back in the day on the AFT company message boards, there was a guy who posted, um, my journey of finding a Russian wife and he started off on one of these websites and it was, it was like he had to, um, like you would, you would pay, uh, to send a message, um, and there would be a translator on the other side that would translate it for them and then they would write a message, um, and it would get translated, you know, translated and then sent to you. Um, and like, you know, when you took a trip, he actually, I think, if I recall correctly, why don’t, I’m taking like four trips over there, um, and went through this entire process. And it was, it was, it was hilarious to watch how it’s so bizarre though. Lauren, how do you fall in love with like that? Like I don’t, like, I obviously I know the answer. Would you fall in love with the idea of, yeah, I mean there are so many scammers out there and there’s people out there that just really are craving love and they just want somebody to understand them and love them the way that they think that they need to be loved. And it’s like they will convince themselves that these are real people. The one, the one, the guy with no neck, he’s like, he was in love with like a 22 year old 90 pound Filipino girl who the sisters hitting him up for money. And I’m like, he’s like, I don’t know what to do. It was pretty insulting to her though. Like she ends up like leaving him and, and he, okay. So he actually gifts her like mouthwash and toothpaste, like your breath is really bad. So like flowers and candy just don’t apply in these rules apparently because they probably don’t have dentistry where she lives. Um, but Lauren, here’s the thing. Let’s say I meet you online and I, we fly in a Bora Bora and like I pull out my suitcase going, I got you a gift and it’s like purple, like, like a, like a, like a trash, like something from like, uh, one of the sex shops. Like it smells like cheap, like purple, like lovers lane, whatever. I want to try to be like trash. Like it was so bad. Like you’re seriously worse. Well the fact that he starts off telling her that he’s five, four, which is actually taller than he really is. And then it turns out he’s like four, 1130 neck. He looks like a thumb thumb walking around. But he, he like, it’s just so insulting to her. It’s like I would never, if some guy was like, Hey, I just met you for the first time, now you’re going to stay in my hotel room with me and blah blah blah. Just because we’ve been talking online for X amount of months or years. Like, no dude, you get two rooms. Exactly. Like I don’t understand any of it. Like in that one guy, um, who was clearly gay with the Russia, uh, Jeffrey and Baria see, you know the names. Oh my God, do it again. They’ve spent the last two weeks dissecting the show and here’s the, here’s the funny part I got, honestly, I assumed you started watching it because you caught like one of their episodes or something like, and Crowder was rag. I’m guy. I’m like, I wrote, here’s the best part. Like I don’t think I watched like a mid episode and like the latest one, like the Russian girls surprises him so that I want to fly to Knoxville and see what happens and like, Oh, I got my wife roped in and she’s like, Oh, come on, come on, play the next one. I’m like, these shows, what channel is this on? I’m going to have to check it out. Here’s the thing. There’s no reality. You know, the producers are writing the scripts for this. Sure. I, from what I understand, they actually like a thing where it’s like when they’re actually a scouting out for people, they say, are you dating somebody online? Do you want to go visit them and do you have something that you haven’t told them that you really should like a big secret that you need to rebuild, reveal, you know, that it’s like something that they all are going in there with some sort of situational, well she doesn’t know that I’m still married or she doesn’t know that I am not who I said I was or you. I mean it took me like five minutes to go like, Oh, it’s just people trying to scam other people out of money. Like how do you not see this? Like everyone on there really quickly. Like, okay, so the first couple of seasons it wasn’t like that. It was all people who have like seen each other on video. They’ve like had pictures, you know, they, they actually go and have like these people meet them here. Like there were actual people. Um, the first time that I remember them bringing on like a catfish I think was last year with a guy named Caesar and he had a girl that he was trying to like bring to trying to meet and he went to meet her multiple times and she would never show up just like Lorna and David would never show up. She would always have some kind of excuse and it’s like dude your hands up telling everybody that he’s sending her $800 a week. Well wasn’t the one where the kids know that the kids did like a reverse image search and he was like photo. Yep. Yolanda and Williams and that was, that was the entire thing was like she kept on saying I’m going to meet this guy. He was sending her information to like fly in to where he lives and she’s like that’s not the airport closest to where you said you live. Like he says he’s from like the UK and when she talks to him he sounds like he’s Nigerian. Like, it’s, it doesn’t, you know, it’s like, come on, there’s some like pretty big red flags that are letting you know that this person is not a real person. God, that’d be like, if you’re not, you’re a Nigerian scammer and all the jobs you can have and the one you have is like cat fishing. All of them fall forward though. It’s so, I feel so bad for people cause I mean it’s just getting their hearts just cry. It’s hard enough. Dealing with heartbreak is alone, let alone like that. Cause you have these holes, right. But by the time you probably meet this person, you’re already like, you’re on your third kid and your fourth vacation home and like, you know what I mean? Like why did your whole life together? Like you don’t see, what are you supposed to do? God, what a, what an awful, awful show and the button come on soon. Alright, so I’m gonna, I’m gonna have to check this out. Like I, so they do a show called trash pandas. It’s Tuesday nights right now. Um, so make sure you check that out. And actually Lauren, while you’re here, there was another topic we were going to talk about that we haven’t brought up yet that you, uh, you should chime in on cause you’re a bartender. Um, I dude, I love the idea that’s being floated through the legislature now about drinking districts, uh, in the state of Michigan. Uh, you know, like that’s one of the things we love. Like whenever we do the cons and stuff down in Toledo, um, I love being able to, you know, take a drink and walk to the next bar with it and that kind of stuff. Um, and they’re trying to, they’re looking at that as a way of helping the bars and restaurants get back up on their feet quickly. Uh, whenever the, you know, the doors open. Um, so I guess like, you know, what’s, what’s your take on it and how do you feel about it? Um, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I mean, there’s a lot of places where it works and everything. I think we’re a little bit worried. I don’t, I don’t, I’m trying to think like downtown works. Greektown works. Yeah. Saying like just around in general, like you know, if you go down to like new Orleans or something, you can walk down the street with a drinker like open tax but then also like to carry out stuff. You can do that. Yeah. Well they’re all walkable though. Like I’m just talking about like the areas are walkable, like Ferndale, nine mile Ferndale, nine miles from Rosedale green is the Woodward is walkable. Nothing really walking. Well, like I said, like to me, like the first thing that jumped to my mind was Hamtramck. I mean just, you know, all the bars that are so close together. And I would assume it would be situations like that where it’d be like a place where there’s a lot of ours condensed into one area. You know, I don’t think that they would just do it everywhere. Right. Oh, I guess like downtown Rochester, there’s maybe like what, six places you can have a drink. Right. Well, you know, Cass corridor, you know, we’re, you know, we’re DSE is okay, you could grab a drink at DSC and walk over to temple bar or jumbos, you know, or something like that. Well, Ferndale has a lot. Royal Oak has a lot downtown Ann Arbor. You know, like places like that. I could see it being something that’s viable, you know. But if it’s something like just a general area, it’s like I don’t, I wouldn’t be okay with people like driving around with stuff that they can possibly open up and then it comes back on me because of DRAM shop. Oh yeah, no, I, yeah, I don’t, I don’t think they’re talking about drivability. I think it’s, it’s just walking around with it. Yeah. Yeah. Those areas, there’s like, so, so many bars, you know, like why not let them walk around. I mean, you can literally just like spit and hit the bar across the street. Well that is the other related proposal though. A Senate bill nine 38 would allow like take away margaritas or whatever. Like you order a margarita from a bar, go pick it up, bring it home and drink it. Yeah. I think that they have like a thing where it’s like there’s tape on it. Exactly. It’s like, I like that big grenade. Like, you know, right. Big green frog. I like that. Like the Comerica park, like the $30 slushies it has like a half ounce of rum in it. Right? Yeah. The being able to bring, able to bring in a rum drink from there. Yeah. Well then not only that Maryland that’s got like, I think that’s lying to social distancing inner tubes like you have to wear. Those were amazing. And the burger King crowns in Germany I thought were fantastic. Oh, it’s literally, it’s the burger King crown, but it’s got like a six, like a three foot, it’s a six foot diameter, um, around people’s heads to try to teach them social distancing properly. It’s, it’s, absolutely, I think that’s a great idea there it goes. Making out with strangers, man. Well, you know, but that’s the thing, you know, you talk about social distancing, like we talked a little bit about, you know, things opened up this weekend or, and you know, you’ve got, you know, pictures coming in from, you know, Toronto and Texas and everywhere else where there ain’t no social distancing going on at all. And, and, you know, just, okay, now are we just waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know, is, are things going to happen? I, you know, but the other part of it is, you know, one of the things they’ve said all along is like they don’t know if this is going to act like the flu where it kind of goes away when it gets warmer. Um, you know, and so if that’s the case, maybe Texas and Georgia and those kinds of other shit here, you know, over the last couple of days it’s probably been, you know, great for killing this crap off. Um, you know, the rates. Look at the rates down in Texas and Florida. I mean, it’s like almost none. Yeah. Well, they’re flat there. It’s, it’s not. Yeah. I mean they’ve, they haven’t seen a spike the case, the case loads are flat. They haven’t seen a jump like, you know, people were expecting. But like, like I said, I mean that could be, that could be as simple as it got warmer. Who knows? Open them up. Yeah, exactly. All right, well Hey Lauren, before we cut you loose, did you guys create a Facebook page for trashcan as yet or where do people find you? Okay. fuck.com/trash pandas. Perfect. So, um, and then we’re on on Tuesday nights at 10:00 PM. Thanks so much for having me on guys. Hey, I, I as soon as he shot, I was like, I know exactly who to pull in for this conversation cause I got nothing. You know, everything about trash and trending. My um, my, my, yeah, by the way, that show is such shit, such a bag as, as soon as you said it was your new super sweet 60. And I was like, Oh mother of God. Cause I have, I’ve, I’ve listened to them talk about it while they ran the one of the first two shows around. And yeah, like my head was almost exploding listening to the plot lines and the stories they were talking through. And I was like, chief mother of God. I like how reality shows. How about plot line? Well, yeah, seriously. The only thing I thought about was the guy he ran will be here, should be around serious. Hey. So I was a loosely paying attention to the comments. Um, uh, Gary Heitman, uh, screw you, Gary. Uh, he said, Hey, you guys look awful. Uh, my, uh, my kid sister tuned in and asked me what Jersey I’m wearing. Uh, this is the, uh, the, the Tron Jersey. This is a light cycle. It’s got Flynn on the back, uh, you know, from the movie. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, um, my favorite guy that week is the guy that, uh, uh, basically said F you door dash dude. And so this ties into something we’ve talked about in the past where, you know, door dashes basically co-opting or co-opting businesses by, you know, basically saying, Hey, we deliver for this business with no permission from that business. And this guy found his own business listing when people started asking him, Oh, we see you offer delivery now yet Adriana. Um, and so he decided to have a little fun with it. Well, not just one with it, but basically, uh, well they were, uh, he charged $24 for the pizza. Um, it was being listed as 16 bucks by door dash. So he was basically buying his own pizzas to sell back to people for an $8 more profit. He’s like, screw. Um, and I don’t blame them because again, they were uh, um, you know what, what was the word? Oh, um, venture capital’s just small business loans for assholes. Yeah, we should have a bread. Yeah, exactly. A venture capital is not the hand game. And again, we love this shit too. Um, door dash lost 450 million generating 900 million in revenue last year, like you own. And you own nothing like zero. Yeah. Cause yeah, I mean the delivery. So the drivers are paid by us. Um, the food is paid for by us at a markup or, or apparently in some cases at a loss because you’re an idiot and you’re charging improperly for it. Click the fee. There’s three things in the service fee. Um, and then you’re paying the state tax driver. Um, yeah. And they’re losing that much money. Um, to be honest, it’s, it’s, uh, I don’t get it. I’ll never get it. Um, GrubHub lost money. Well, and so, and I wonder, so there was a, one of the articles, I think it was a, that Randy shout out was, uh, the CEO of Spotify or Shopify, Shopify who basically, you know, his, his proclamation was that, uh, the days of being office centric are over. Um, you know, and, and, you know, letting us people work from home forever and that kind of stuff. And I want know, you wonder with some of these business, you know, some of these companies that don’t quote unquote own anything, um, you know, how much of their money is being spent on physical office space and that kind of stuff to, you know, to have people in a central location and can they become profitable if they start with this remote worker motif. And don’t worry about leasing office space and don’t worry about, you know, having that as a cost center and all that kind of stuff. It’s, it’s an issue. I mean it’s interesting question to me. Yeah, well you do great. You’re going to get the next market bubble with the commercial real estate shitting the bed. Well though, and we did, we’ve been talking about it with we work where, you know, basically they said, you know, if we work were to ever truly fail, you know that it would just decimate, you know, entire swaths of, you know, the, the, the real estate market in different cities around the world. If that’s the next bubble then that, I mean it makes more sense than home real estate, you know. Cause if you got others. And here’s the thing, I don’t think, I think we talked about this. I think the last couple of weeks too. People are using this as an excuse to get out of shift. Like I think people are looking at like these crazy leases they’re spending on office space going and this is like their little wake up call and they’re going up bed. We’re out, you know, like, um, I don’t want to spend this crap. I’m going to get out from under this, this stupid loan I signed eight years ago, you know, absolve this debt. You know, how many people are also restructuring all these, you know, I was talking to a Hertz is going out of business. Um, you know, yeah. Enterprises in deep shit. What was it JC penny just filed for bankruptcy? Hertz was $17 billion in debt. Right? So now they’re like basically that just get 17 billion in debt. Get out of here. How do you that company that old, how do you do that? Let me, let me look that up. Cause that’s a, that’s a number. I saw it, but that’s a good question. It seems like they’re trying to get out of these crappy obligations they got themselves into, it seems like they’re not going out of business because their business is bad. They’re going out of business trying to get themselves out of some sheet of healers. I mean, it did. Entirely possible. And I mean, and you know, some of that like, you know, you’ve seen, uh, there’s been a lot of announcements that I’ve seen about, uh, you know, bars and restaurants that have just, you know, decided, Hey, you know, they’ve just shot off notes to their, you know, their their employees in the last week or so. That just said, Hey, as it turns out, no, we’re not going to reopen. Um, you know, and you wonder if some of that is, you know, is, is that as well, you know, is it, Oh, you know, we just realized, Hey, the financial obligation that we took on just, there’s no ROI there. Why, why even bother continuing? What’s according to motor one.com. Hertz is 13.4 billion are vehicle loans and 3.7 billion are corporate bonds. So that’s $17 billion in debt. Wasn’t that money revolved pretty quickly though. As they got out, they buy these cars, then they sit, they rent them for what a year, and then they sell them. They sell them. Yeah. Who knows. Very liquid. It’s not like maybe I’m wrong. Um, they, I mean, cause they’re everywhere globally. Yeah, no, for sure. Um, you know, and this, this kinda, you know, doubling back on the door dash thing. Um, Applebee’s, uh, one of our favorites is pulling some shady shit, uh, where they’ve, uh, basically launched a new brand. Uh, but it’s, it’s still just out of their Applebee’s locations called neighborhood wings. Uh, and so, yeah. And, and so people are ordering, you know, from, you know, they look up on, you know, grub hub or door dash or Rizzo neighborhood wings. Okay. You know, local plays, whatever. Cool. I’ll try to support them. Um, yeah, no, it’s, it’s Applebee’s. It’s, it’s always Applebee’s. It will always be Applebee’s. And yeah, that’s some shady shit right there. Well this is kind of like the story we talked about a few years ago where you had all these virtual restaurants where it was like this one giant industrial kitchen, big house kitchen, a bunch of virtual restaurants for takeout only. No, I’m fine with that. But don’t rebrand your trash. Like if I find out, like if you give me your food, it says Applebee’s on it. That one guy, I’m looking for the tweet and he’s like, if I wanted your trash food, I would have ordered it from you. Ordered from you. Cause yeah, I mean, and that’s the thing. I mean it’s not like, you know, and, and they try to put a spin on it that, you know, we’re trying to offer things that aren’t necessarily on our menu. Dude wings are absolutely on the Applebee’s menu. They absolutely are. And, and, and there’s no, there’s no difference in what’s being sent out under that name. So what are you doing other than trying to deceive people? I mean, why, why, why not just call it not Applebee’s? Like that’s, that’s the new name. It’s not Applebee’s. The shit ass one is chutney cheese. Yes. Called themselves pizza. I guess. Pasquale’s one of the rep animatronic rats that you see in the restaurant. Yeah and dude, I mean like let’s be real. Who in their right mind is getting Chuckie cheese pizza delivered to their house? Like pizza is like this much above that. Like frozen Jack’s pizza for 99 cents just straight up trash I’ve gotten, you know I got little kids, man, I gotta go to Turkey. We’ve all been there. It’s, you don’t go there for the pizza. You just happen to have the pizza because it’s there while you’re there. I was just thankful when they started serving beer. That’s the part about Chuck E cheese these days is the volume is so low. The workers have all had to revolt cause when we were kids remember the lights would go down. Dude that shit was so loud. Like now when you are, you don’t even know the show started. Chucky comes out and it’s like it’s gotta be on like volume. If it’s at one to 10, it’s sound like one, like kids are like, guys are like, no, I don’t care. Like literally I think they’ve all given up and they’ve got, you know, the guy in the, in the rat suit, you know, getting his balls punched every 30 seconds by saying, what a freaking hell. I’m amazed they’ll just still in business by the way, like literally amazing. So I, I do, so, you know, speaking of somebody that’s actually maybe doing something right, uh, you know, we, we, you know, mentioned Netflix and those kinds of places earlier. Um, apparently net and I don’t, I, they said it’s less than one half of 1% of all their accounts that are quote unquote inactive. Um, so apparently if you are, uh, if, if you don’t use Netflix for a year, uh, they’re going to go ahead and, you know, send you an email and say, Hey, would you like to, you know, keep your subscription active even though you haven’t used it? And if they don’t hear from you, they’re just gonna go ahead and finally cancel you. Why is this a, why is this news and B, why are they announcing it? Um, well, I mean, why did they give a shit? So to me this might’ve actually been a almost a, a PR move. Uh, where, you know, cause I mean you think like, Oh well, okay, yeah, you always announce all these numbers of subscribers, how many of them are actually active. So to me the entire point of this article might have just been to say, Hey, less than one half of 1% of our subscriber base is quote unquote inactive us just some good, Hey look what we’re doing. We’re saving people money who didn’t realize they were spending it. You know, there’s still stories of people still paying for like AOL dial up subscriptions, right? They that, you know, they paid 2399 a month for the last 18 years because they didn’t realize they were still paying for it. Dude, I’m not gonna lie man. Like Netflix needs to step their game up or something. Man, these brick and Adam Sandler movies are just, are just utter straights. And like I watched some other movies, my wife there and they call it lovebirds with the guy from Silicon Valley. So I’m, I’m spending more time on Hulu, which, and, and one of the stories, you know, that came across was that apparently they’re redesigning their home screen. Um, but I mean, I, dude, I, I, I spend more time on Hulu than I do anything else. I mean, I love their shows. I love, um, their catalog. They’ve got some really great documentaries on there. Um, honestly, one of the only times, like I’ll hop on Netflix if somebody mentioned something is on Netflix. Uh, and I’ll go check it out. But I mean, like, my default is I fire up Hulu and see what’s there. It’s hard to find stuff on Netflix. Like they give you like the six categories on the homepage that they give you, but like, you can’t browse by sub genre or anything on Netflix at all. I mean, you can, don’t, you just have to, like, you got to scroll way down. Yeah. Uh, but like you get like the top level genres, but if you want to do sub genres, you have to like do custom spectrum. Yeah. URLs on the web browser. Yeah. So wrestling’s on right now with the crowd, there’s like 25 people in the crowd, all like six, seven people beat apart and they’re just like, it’s all the talent. It’s a really awkward, it’s really, Hey, I mean they, they could do what Korea did and maybe put sex dolls in them and make it look more full video game people in there. It just CGI people in the seats, it’ll be fine. Nobody will notice. Although speaking to it, speaking to people in seats and wrestling, I got to get a, give a little shout out. I don’t know if you caught the, uh, I guess AEW is running some new promo. Um, uh, like I guess for some upcoming thing. And uh, Mikey and one of the other guys from breaking down the ring are, are prominently in the commercial, um, in the promo. You know, sitting there with, you know, with Mike, he’s got his belt over his shoulder and that kind of stuff you to right there and you know the front rows. So that was kind of cool to see him there. I thought he did a screenshot and I’m like, Oh, big deal. I’ve done that. No, he was one of like three people. It was like legit like it. Yeah, it wasn’t, yeah, it wasn’t like they were panning the crowd and he happened to be there for a 10th of a second. No, he was there know Mark always puts a picture up of native champions or me with the end of the road, you know, making us basically looking at the camera and waiving the entire show. Like like a complete idiot now. But rainy going back like Netflix, I used to always have to Google like top movies on Netflix because there’s so, it’s so hard to find anything now. They got the top 10 but the top tens I’ll trash. It’s like, Oh this, this trash. We’ll give him 2007 I’m like, is that how slim pickings are on Netflix? It says, says the guy who, you know, just devoted 20 minutes talking about 90 day fiance, what am I supposed to watch? I remember when Netflix originals were like quality shows that you would like go to Netflix to watch, but now they’re just turning out like 1600 garbage shows a year. Netflix your greenlit. See last week? Yeah. Oh that’s such trash. That ending was, it’ll never happen in a million years for a million different people. It would never end up. Not at all. Uh, kind of like, I’m like, I’m still, I’m not a, we watched her last night, you had a 93% popcorn rating. So I’m like, usually, usually if it’s over 90% good to go watch it. And it was a pile of shit. It was like literally you could have sat, I could have watched the diarrhea for an hour and it wouldn’t have been any different than this movie. It was that it was that bad. Like I don’t get like, is it like he got like his eight uncles to like rank it on whatever popcorn thing and that’s exactly right. And then people watch her like, Oh, this is what he’s trashed by that point. They’ve already been seen. So, but are you, are you waiting with bated breath for the justice league? Rerelease No. And I’m going to tell you why I gave up on DC movies. I didn’t see joke. Oh shit. Damn was good. Joker was great. Oh, Suzanne was she saying I started to watch joker and that’s actually on HBO. I got to watch that. Um, but yeah, no, dude, Suzanne was amazing. Suzanne. Yeah, she’s, Dan was really good. Was better than I thought joker was way better than I thought. Well, and Shizam like, you know me, like, dude, I, I, I, I assumed I was going to have the hardest time in the world getting past him, being Chuck. Um, and, and that took like five seconds. Like, I was like, like that didn’t bother me at all. Like I was, I was totally cool with it. See, here’s what the speakers was pissing me off about justice league. Once again, I’ve been watching super friends, cartoons, whatever I can get my hands on. Meanwhile, while at the Legion of doom and you got Lex Luther at the head of the table to his left, you’ve got bizarro Superman, whatever, that 50 foot tall Amazon woman, I forget what her name was. You got the Riddler on the right side. You got like sit and Astro. Like it just like black man. You got like the all star cast and it’s like stepping Wolf. That was that. That’s the best you can come up with. Like I, I feel like they tease that at the end of that last movie that justice Lee or that, uh, um, the Legion of doom was going to be happening but haven’t really heard anything about it. Yeah. But then you got Mark Zuckerberg playing Luther who can bring back gene Hackman. Right. It was like for every hero in super friends, the baggy or a bad guy corresponding. Yeah, there was, yeah. There was a parallel Batman and Robin had the Riddler, right? They had a couple, actually, I don’t remember. There’s Batman, Superman, Superman. Um, yeah, no. Yeah. And like they had like where their powers basically canceled each other out. Oh yeah. Cheap. With the 50 foot Amazon woman. Yeah, it was a black Falcon. Like it was just, it was good. And you could, you could make the story go a hundred different ways. You could have done, if you would have done that, like literally 808 justice league vs Legion of doom. You could have done those movies for the next 12 years. They wrote themselves. Well, and I mean honestly, I mean maybe that’s what they’re trying to build up to a lot of the Marvel universe, but I was going to say, does DC have anybody like Kevin FYGI controlling their overall scope of what the movies are supposed to be? I’m going to go with, no, they do. He’s failing horribly. Here’s, see, here’s one of my problems with what DC’s doing is you had suicide squad come out, which like basically the Harley Quinn movie is, everything else is trash. Um, then you had joker come out, which was surprisingly amazing. But they’re not related at all. Like it’s completely different joker. They’re not related. The stories are not linked. But what you’re doing then you’re doing suicide squad. Jared Leto burn fixtures just came out today, the next suicide squad release. And in the meantime, you already had a suicide squad spinoff with Ali quit. It’s like make up your app and mind’s like your kids. But that’s the thing, to Randy’s poi
