Artificial Intelligence goes beyond ChatGPT and textual content generation. Today, it can generate lifelike videos of you. Deep fake is a bad usage of those, causing viewers to think they see one person when, in fact, they see a graphic generation of that person. But can it be used for good? We use “Mail Merge” features to customize emails, but how about increasing trust by increasing message intimacy through AI-rendered avatars? My guest in this episode is Jill Schifelbein, an innovative AI researcher, partner, and  Chief Experience Officer at Render, a start-up specializing in producing hyper-realistic avatars. The episode starts with a demonstration of Jill as an AI avatar. We discussed one of the most critical implications: would you trust the avatar less than a person? And what if you didn't know it was an avatar? If you want to watch the avatar used in this episode, watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8SS4Egjxdpw

Covering various aspects from office tools to help admin, to social media and the creative industries, there'll be something for everyone in this. Notable mentions include re-affirming elements that people often forget about that can be highly useful, like Mail Merge in Microsoft Word, Canva for graphic design which also now enables you to create videos, as well as alternatives to Microsoft Office, and Adobe Photoshop.

In this audio we will be learn about Mail & Merge in Gmail account with the help of googlespreadsheet .we will learn how to send 100 or 50 mail at the same time .

It seems like we’ve forgotten why we use mail merge. Nearly 40 years ago word processing software introduced the idea to us (I say ‘us’ but I was just an eye-twinkle). It would, quite cleverly, allow us to print off a bunch of letters all saying the same thing, but with a word or two – like a name – changed between each copy. It became commonplace for businesses. They could now print off hundreds of thousands of letters or bills or invoices quite quickly without poor Sandra having to manually update each one between printing For a customer (or donor) it felt like they were the only ones that were getting that letter. That’s hard to imagine now, isn’t it? Getting a printed letter with your details on and just assuming someone had sat down and thought of you while they were typing it. But that was the point of mail merge: To allow a sender to send pretty much the same thing to a bunch of people. While the recipient felt like it was just for them. Everyone was happy. Nowadays, we use mail merge because we can. In today's Quick Tip, Simon talks through how to use mail merge in the most effective ways in your direct mail and emails.

I had not "take the temperature" of my audience in a while so I put together a quick survey. I use Google Forms, and did some number crunching in Excel, and made a report using Mail Merge in Microsoft word so I could easily consume the data.

You consistently provide concise, actionable advice to help podcasters be successful. Interviews with interesting podcasters  and how-to content Multiple topics and specialized guests this way I can identify with other podcasters who’ve encountered the same trials & tribulations in connecting with their audience I really like the real-world examples you cite of how people have made (or are making) their podcasts successful. The high-quality production, how much you assuage my concerns about podcasting, identify speech patterns that drive me crazy, and overall the feeling that you're actually talking to me. General updates on how and with what to create, manage, and grow your podcast and audience I like your honesty and transparency most. The topics I enjoy are tips on creating content and marketing content. Honest Information about growing audience and sponsors I like the honesty, the fact you'll tell the truth and also aren't afraid to give your opinion. Specific sections, I like when you do anecdote, which is odd as I didn't when I first started listening. Just goes to show not to change your format. The interviews, also gear talk when you have it. Just listening to Dave talk with excitement about what's important to him.  I always enjoy the Because-Of-My-Podcast stories. You think about the person who is just starting out and the people who have been at it a while. (so helps me learn as a newbie, but also stretches me to research other things). Love how you use sound effects. Think it captures attention well! Expert interviews, and Last Five in Five (bring it back!) The analogies, which helps anyone at any level understand the picture you are trying to paint (even the painting with peanut butter) The interviews with industry personalities and gear/service reviews. But most of all, it's just your personality that keeps me listening. Your humor,  varied topics, pace, transitions, and awesome ideas and content. I love the end of episode bloopers. What you'd Like to Change: The same podcasters on all the time, how about some variety? For example, if the horse podcasting guy is on, I turn the show-off, sorry, but it's just not my thing. Other than that, I love everything else about the show! Email responses seemed to shorten then stop altogether after a while. Keep emailing/engaging consistently. While it doesn't bother me, I think too often you reference "old" movies, songs etc. and go with your "back in the day" quote which may not resonate with a younger audience. For example, for me, I don’t need to hear all the steps of math to get to an hourly rate for $60,000 a year.  You could just tell me you did the math and give me the bottom line number. Not this show, but your Rodeo - there is too much 'snide' comments. But hey, I was born British I think that Podcast Rodeo Show is a disservice to your expertise and kindness. but that's another show. Sometimes the sound effects get a little too morning zoo for me. All the extra sound effects you’ve been adding (more in the last year or so? Maybe 6 months?). Also, I know you’re against dates on your blog posts, but I wish you had them. Context matters & if I know it’s several years old, that might impact how I approach something. Sometimes there is so much repetition between this show, ask the podcast coach, podcasters round table, the feed, and new media show. I love all of them but fell a little disappointed when there’s too much overlap in topics.  A lot of assumed knowledge from previous episodes or technologies or podcasting I guess the only thing I worry about is I hear you on all of your other shows & know that you have a full-time job & do all of your school of podcasting stuff. I don't want you getting burned out! Take care of yourself, Dave! The only thing I could think of is the occasional repetition (Anchor sucks - it's okay to NOT make money with your show - stop checking your stats) Personally, I'm tired of "beginner" topics. I understand you make money helping people start, but I can imagine even a beginner would appreciate your expertise on more of the "improve" your podcast topics (which you do, but I want more of them). I’m not a big fan of the easy listening/jazz music you use under your commercials. It does not command authority. The occasional crass comment or innuendo is a bit annoying. I know it doesn't happen often, but when it does it makes me cringe. I get that you need to share personal stuff occasionally, as we should all do, and provided it's kept in proportion then I'm fine with it. First and foremost I want you to be a teacher, not a chat show host. For instance, when you did the 5 in 5 with the podcaster talking about atheism and I had to stop and pray for him and I was bummed that there are so many podcasts about people that are fallen away from the church.  So even the stuff I cringe at in your podcast, help me grow and give me a reason to pray.  I haven’t done my show in 5-6 years and yet, I still listen every week.  Keep up the zany antics and stellar content Dave Not the biggest fan of most podcast intros.  I would prefer you to start talking IMMEDIATELY about the show by possibly asking a few questions...the state that we will get into it further in the show. Example: What mics should you use when walking around outside and recording?  What is the difference between condenser blah blah blah?  We will get into it today!!  I’m Dave Jackson, and I thank you for being here at the SCHOOL OF PODCASTING! Now, let's talk mics.

If someone suggests something that doesn't' fit the audience or your goal. you need to ignore it - this show is not for them. You can't please everyone. Keep in mind the new listeners, and don't get bit by the "curse of knowledge" and leave them in the dark. Your audience wants you to be honest and concise. They enjoy your personality (some followed me to other shows) so let your personality out. Be willing to try new things if your audience wants them, and they fit your goals. I hope you enjoyed episode 681.  Question of the Month What was the last thing your shared (that wasn't your content)? Why did you share it?

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us about Mustache Templates. Mustache Templates are a library that allow you to input any string and output a string. Unlike the ```template``` tag for HTML5, Mustaches are not restricted to HTML snippets. Mustache isn't the only game in town but it's Bart's favorite. I found this lesson fairly confusing along the way but when I got to the very end I think I understood it all! There was a key point in his instruction when he said to think of this as being like Mail Merge where you have a form letter and then a separate file that has the info that gets plugged into the form letter. Once he said that it became much more clear to me. Hope that little hint helps you too!

#30 Kan een Poll net zo'n succes zijn als Mail Merge? Vandaag heb ik een Poll gemaakt voor Facebook gebruikers, één in tekst en één met video inclusief ondertiteling. Ik ben erg benieuwd of dit net zo succesvol kan zijn als bij de Mail Merge actie van begin januari. Tag een ondernemer voor wie dit interessant kan zijn? https://youtu.be/KSek4O5y6nw?rel=0

#18 Kijk mee hoe ik Mail Merge gebruik Hey, hallo en welkom bij 'wat heb ik vandaag gedaan om mijn bedrijf verder te laten groeien?' Voor de kerst heb ik het al gehad over de Mail Merge die we hebben voorbereid en ik vond het, nou ja, week twee vond ik het een mooie tijd om die te gaan verzenden. Dus ik neem jullie graag mee in hoe ik dat doe. En daarbij ga ik jullie mijn scherm delen en dan kunnen jullie meekijken.  We hebben een korte sales-letter opgesteld, waarin we de medeleden van de ondernemersvereniging Heesch vragen wat ze er van mijn nieuwe product vinden en ik zou hun daar graag een aantal vragen over willen stellen. En ik vraag hun om eigenlijk letterlijk een goedkeuring of ze het goedvinden dat ik ze een keer bel en daar wat opties voor verstuur. Dus ja, ik ga nu switchen naar mijn scherm en dan kunnen jullie mij klein rechts onderin weer zien zoals jullie gewend zijn. Hier hebben we de voorbeeldbrief die in mijn Google Docs staat. ik ga daarvoor naar Word, die had ik al klaarstaan. Lege document.  Ik plak daar die tekst in. Nou, dit vind ik natuurlijk alles behalve mooi. Maar dat gaan we even aanpassen. Ik pak daarvoor ook een nieuwe e-mail, pak mijn handtekening, zodat het er vertrouwd uitziet zoals ik normaal ook relaties zou mailen. En die plakken we hier onderin. Ja, met opmaak behouden. Dit ziet er een beetje rommelig uit. De afstand is allemaal een wat te groot. Passen we even aan aan nul punten. Ho, nul. En met vriendelijke groet maken we dan alvast bedankt van. En dan halen we dit weg. Nou, moet natuurlijk allemaal dezelfde kleur hebben. Dus dan kopiëren we de opmaak, passen we die aan. Het is namelijk zo dat Word uiteindelijk via Outlook gaat versturen, dus die voornaam is waar we uit de lijst... en die ga ik jullie dalijk laten zien, maar die zal ik uiteraard niet alleen voor AVG-redenen, maar ook gewoon privacyredenen blurren, zodat jullie geen adresgegevens van deze leden te zien krijgen. Nou, qua opmaak vind ik dit zo prima. Even korte spelcheck, d'r zullen geen fouten inzitten, hoop ik maar, nee, ok. Dan heb hebben we hierboven bij verzendlijsten, kun je kiezen voor afdruk samenvoegen starten en dan kies ik meestal voor de stapsgewijze wizard afdruk samenvoegen. Kun je ook gebruiken voor brieven, voor enveloppen, etiketten, noem het maar op. In dit geval gebruiken we 'm voor e-mail. Kies ik volgende. We willen het huidige document gebruiken wat ik net heb gemaakt. Volgende. We gaan daarvoor een bestaande lijst gebruiken die ik hier klaar heb staan. En dat zijn er dus 117, min de titel, zijn er 116. Ik heb daar huidige klanten uitgefilterd. Zou niet zo netjes zijn om die ook op deze manier aan te schrijven. En dan bladeren, dan kies ik die lijst. Ga ik ook naar mijn Google Drive toe, Marketing M - IT, Mail Merge, deze. Dan willen we inderdaad blad één, tabel één hebben. Ook dit zal ik dalijk wegblurren. We kiezen hier gewoon iedereen. Ik wil iedereen die in die lijst zit aanschrijven. Ok.  Dan gaan we naar de volgende stap. En dan willen we een begroetingsregel of een adres. Maakt niet heel veel uit. Oh nee, dat willen we allemaal niet. Ja, kan ook. Nee, ik kies even gewoon Adresblok en dan zetten we dit allemaal uit. Pakken we alleen de naam, de voornaam en dan Ok. Die komt dan hierboven want, ja, ik weet niet of je het gezien hebt, maar ik stond achter Hoi en voor de komma. En daarmee krijgen we hier het adresblok, zodat ik iedereen met z'n voornaam kan aanspreken. We gaan volgende, gaan we naar het voorbeeld. Kijk en nou zien we hier Hoi Arno. Hoi Henny. En hierboven kan ik door de geadresseerden heen bladeren naar wie die dalijk de mail gaat versturen. Floris, Hans, Gijs, nou, et cetera, et cetera, het ziet er allemaal goed uit. Ga ik naar volgende. En dan kan ik nu kiezen voor elektronische post en nou ja, dit heb ik lang niet gedaan, dus ik ben erg benieuwd wat hier nou gaat gebeuren. Oh ja, onderwerpregel, die moeten we nog wel even één verzinnen.  Nog eentje. OVH-lid vraagt jouw hulp. Zou ik dat nou wel doen? Nou ja, meestal mailt de ondernemersvereniging Heesch wel onder OVH. OVH-lid vraagt jouw hulp. En we gaan het gewoon proberen en we zien wel hoeveel reacties er binnenkomen. Niet geschoten is altijd mis.  En huppatee, alle namen zie ik links bovenin voorbij komen. En dan ben ik dalijk zeer benieuwd of ik iets van 116 verzonden mails heb staan. Laat 'm maar even rammelen. Kijk, dit is natuurlijk wel even, terwijl die bezig is leuk om over te hebben, want ik had deze mensen toch ook makkelijk aan m'n active campaign of iets dergelijks toe kunnen voegen. Alleen die mensen die hebben natuurlijk niet geopt-in om door mij benaderd te worden. Dus dit is als net zoals gewoon een ouderwetse brief sturen via de post, stuur ik ze nu gewoon persoonlijk een e-mail met de lijst die we met hulp van onze partner hebben verzameld en gemaakt. Dank je wel, Martijn. Even een shout-out.  Ja, dit, ja en gezien eerdere campagnes die we geprobeerd hebben en nogmaals, ik vind campagne echt een fout woord voor Facebook-campagnes. Maar zo noemen ze ze bij Facebook nou eenmaal. Die ja niet het gewenste rendement op hebben geleverd, waardoor we het letterlijk over een andere boeg gooien en dit gaan proberen. Ik zie dat 'ie klaar is dus ik ga even kijken in mijn e-mail en dan mijn verzonden items of ik daar nu... kijk, wat leuk! Nou, dit zal ik dalijk natuurlijk helemaal d'r uit blurren om even te kijken hoeveel mailtjes hij verstuurd heeft. Nou, dat is dan nog precies 10 uur ook. Lekker handig, lijkt het weer alsof het een automatisch iets is. Dat was het dus niet, hier het bewijs. Hoeveel heb ik geselecteerd? Nee, dat zijn er iets teveel. Hij laat niet zien hoeveel items ik selecteer. Goed, volgens mij zijn ze dit wel allemaal.  Dus ja, dat is gewoon letterlijk wat we vandaag gedaan hebben om ons bedrijf verder te laten groeien. Ik hoop op reacties. En dat mensen, als je kijkt: alvast bedankt! Doe mee, help me. Als ik jou kan helpen, laat het me vooral weten, dan zal ik het zeker daar waar ik kan je helpen. En ja, voor nu bedankt en tot morgen!

Two simple steps. Leave us your feedback for this podcast on iTunes and number two, get the free ebook at landacademy.com, you don't even have to read it. Thanks for listening. Jack Butala: Jack Butala, with Jill DeWitt. Jill DeWit: Hey. Jack Butala: Welcome to our show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about why mail merged offers get consistent results. It's a fun week today. Fun week this week, with good shows. Jill DeWit: Yeah. It could be dry for some. I'm like, "Are you being sarcastic?" Jack Butala: No! Jill DeWit: Okay. Jack Butala: It's all good to have fun. Jill DeWit: It is. Jack Butala: But you have to learn stuff to make money. Jill DeWit: Exactly. These are good topics. Jack Butala: First, let's take a question, posted by one of our members, on Land Academy's free online community. Jill DeWit: Okay. Luke asks ... Sounds like we use the same person every time, but we have multiple Lukes in our world. Jack Butala: Yeah, and they all are very vocal. Jill DeWit: Yeah, it's like, "Okay, this is Luke. This is Luke. This is Luke." "I have several sellers that are wanting to sell properties that are in trust. How does buying from a trust work? Is there some kind of paper outlining who has the right to sign for property in a trust? Are there often multiple people who have to sign the deed when buying from a trust?" These are such good questions. Jack Butala: Yeah, they really are. We have a smart group. Jill DeWit: We do. Jack Butala: I know based on how this question is written and the punctuation, and the fact that it's pretty much perfect, which Luke did this. Jill DeWit: Me, too! It's the second Luke. Jack Butala: I know. It's the original Luke, who's just knocking it out of the park, by the way. Jill DeWit: Well, they both are. Jack Butala: He's not interested in punctuation for some reason. Jill DeWit: No. Nope. Jack Butala: This is an extremely good question. The short of it is this. There are entities that are allowed legally to own property. This happened all in the 1700s, literally. Who can own property? What can own property? Well, it used to be that not even women could own property. That's insane now. Jill DeWit: What? Jack Butala: Even the thought of that is insane. Jill DeWit: That's hilarious. Now I own a lot of property. Jack Butala: Yes, you do! Jill DeWit: I think I own more than you do right now. Jack Butala: I think you do, too. Jill DeWit: Technically, I bet I do. Jack Butala: I bet it's a 1,000, probably 1500 properties. It's a lot. Jill DeWit: It's under my company, now. You won't know it's me. Jack Butala: You have separate companies. Jill DeWit: But it's a company, yup. Jack Butala: That's awesome. You know what? I'm serious. That is so ... Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: That was a perfect rebuttal to what I just said. Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: My point is this: individuals can own property now, regardless of gender, or ... Jill DeWit: Age. Jack Butala: Age, race, anything. Yeah, I get that question a lot. "Can my minor kid own a property?" Yes. People can own property. Who else can own property? Jill DeWit: Companies. Jack Butala: Companies, corporations, LLCs. All different types of companies. Jill DeWit: Trusts. Jack Butala: Well, trust is just another entity that can own property. It throws people a lot. Jill DeWit: Churches. Jack Butala: People start trusts for a lot of reasons, usually it's to avoid taxes when they die, for conveying all kinds of assets. Not property, but just any bank accounts, all kinds of stuff. So, if the trust owns it, and you're a beneficiary of the trust. Let's say you start the trust, the trust owns a property, and you started it,

Thanks for listening. Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit: Howdy. Jack Butala: Welcome to our show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about how and why you're imagination is imperative as a real estate investor. What the heck? I thought I was supposed to be stern and ... Jill DeWit: A machine. Jack Butala: A machine and just do ... Jill DeWit: Efficient. Jack Butala: Yes. Jill DeWit: One word answers. Jack Butala: Imagination. Great show today, Jill. Let's take a question first before we get into it, posted by one of our members on SuccessPlant.com, our free online community. Jill DeWit: Okay. Ron asked, "Jack or others, on a recent podcast, you extolled the virtues of using mixed mailers, like picking more than one county for your letter campaigns, but you said that it was a level three strategy. Hope I got the terms down correct there." Jack Butala: You nailed it. Jill DeWit: "Implying that you do not recommend that in your first couple of mailers. It seems like a great strategy any time. What is the downside to picking two or three counties in your first few direct mail campaigns, assuming you are pulling a list of 1,500 or more?" Jack Butala: There's two downsides. That is an excellent question. I'm super glad you asked it. The first downside is that I want you to be super familiar on how to do a mail merge. It seems easy. There's a ton of ways to get educated about it. One of them's through us. I walk through it in chapter five in great detail, right down at the last detail on how to do a mail merge, but if you're going to take three mail merges, let's say you want to do three counties and put it into one, it's going to complicate things. If you're Mr. Mail Merge, Ron, and you're not afraid of that and you're scoffing at this saying, "Ha, I can do a mail merge in my sleep," then this doesn't apply to you. Jill DeWit: I love it. Jack Butala: Number two, any maybe more importantly, now you have three county officials instead of one set of county officials that you have to make friends with. You have three places to call when people call back. Maybe you need to talk about the planning and zoning. You need to get to know three people there. If none of this scares you, if you're just like, "Come on, man. I can do this stuff over and over, I've done it fifty times," then Ron, you are a level three strategy out of the box. Most people I just think, especially ... Here's my concern. If we complicate it upfront, you're going to get discouraged, it's going to take too much time, and you're not going to do it. I want you to have a great first experience. I want you on your first mailer to do one deal. Get it all out of your system. Make a million mistakes, do it all wrong. I don't want you to lose money. What we hear often, Jill and I hear, "Man, I did great on this and I sold it, but boy I guess if I did it this way, I could've made more." They don't usually say I lost any money, but man, next time I'm going to do this, this, and this. That is the experience I want you to have. Jill DeWit: I love it. I love it. I want it to be easy. Not easy, but I mean like Jack said, don't over complicate it. I want you to go, "All right, I did it. I got this." I invested only whatever your budget is. I doubled it, I figured it out. I had to send it back to the recorder, we got something goofed up. I learned that one. Then you can be on your way. Love it. Jack Butala: One of our three kids is incredibly intelligent. Jill DeWit: One. Only one? Jack Butala: Hint, it's a she. Our number one kid, the girl,

Two simple steps. Leave us your feedback for this podcast on iTunes and number two, get the free ebook at landacademy.com, you don't even have to read it. Thanks for listening. Jack: It's Jack Butella for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cashflow from Land show. We show you how to buy property for half of what it's worth and resell it the very next day. Great information and instruction from Jack, that's me. Jill: And inspiration from Jill. That's me. Jack: There's some funny stuff that happened to us recently. Jill, I can't believe that an Uber driver can tell you their whole life story in 6 minutes flat. Jill: Isn't it hilarious? It's so funny. Jack: We had an Uber driver last night and she was from Germany. She got married to an American and lives here now, lives in California. She told us her whole life story. Jill: It's hilarious. Jack: What it ended up being, her whole life story, the differences the way people drive in Europe and the way that people drive in California. I have to say, I think she was right. Jill: I totally agree. The whole valet parking thing I thought was really funny, too. I'll add that. Jack: Yeah, go ahead. It's the pass left thing that'll stick with me forever. Jill: The pass left? Jack: The left lane is for passing. Jill: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jack: I'm from Detroit, that's how we learn it there too. Jill: Exactly. Jack: It's not for driving on. Jill: Exactly. Jack: If you have a white minivan and 430 people in your care and you're driving in the left lane and 45 miles an hour, this is for you. Jill: Watch out. Jack: Please don't do that. Jill: I love it. Oh my gosh. Jack: The Uber driver felt the same way. Jill: Right. That's so funny. Yeah, this was 6 minutes of a lot of laughing. It was hilarious. My favorite story was when she talked about her dad coming over. Her dad was appalled at the valet parking. Wait a minute, you mean I'm coming to your restaurant and I have to pay to leave my car to go to your restaurant? I'm like, "You know, I never really thought about it. I'm just kind of used to it." The dad was pissed off about that. Jack: He was. Jill: It was really funny. Jack: You know what my response is? I think he's probably right. Jill: I think he's right, too. Jack: Why am I paying to park if I'm coming to your place? Jill: Exactly. It was so darn funny. That was just a thing that just got to him. What was so cute too was I kind of felt bad for her, it sounds like her family came out and they visited and they're not coming back. Jack: Yeah. She said, "I think that's about it." Jill: Yeah, I guess she's got to go visit them there. For some people, that's okay. Jack: Right. Hey, in this episode, Jill and I talk about flipping houses. This is little mini episode 3 of 3. It's called Mail, Merge, Print, and Send. It's a piece of this that I don't think it's talked about enough and we don't get enough questions about it. It seems just, I guess, a mechanical piece. I'm going to try to make this as fun as possible, okay Jill? Jill: Got it. Jack: Great show. Before we start, let's take a question posted by one of our members on successplan.com, our free online community.

Great information and instruction from Jack, that's me. Jill: And inspiration from Jill. That's me. Jack: There's some funny stuff that happened to us recently. Jill, I can't believe that an Uber driver can tell you their whole life story in 6 minutes flat. Jill: Isn't it hilarious? It's so funny. Jack: We had an Uber driver last night and she was from Germany. She got married to an American and lives here now, lives in California. She told us her whole life story. Jill: It's hilarious. Jack: What it ended up being, her whole life story, the differences the way people drive in Europe and the way that people drive in California. I have to say, I think she was right. Jill: I totally agree. The whole valet parking thing I thought was really funny, too. I'll add that. Jack: Yeah, go ahead. It's the pass left thing that'll stick with me forever. Jill: The pass left? Jack: The left lane is for passing. Jill: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jack: I'm from Detroit, that's how we learn it there too. Jill: Exactly. Jack: It's not for driving on. Jill: Exactly. Jack: If you have a white minivan and 430 people in your care and you're driving in the left lane and 45 miles an hour, this is for you. Jill: Watch out. Jack: Please don't do that. Jill: I love it. Oh my gosh. Jack: The Uber driver felt the same way. Jill: Right. That's so funny. Yeah, this was 6 minutes of a lot of laughing. It was hilarious. My favorite story was when she talked about her dad coming over. Her dad was appalled at the valet parking. Wait a minute, you mean I'm coming to your restaurant and I have to pay to leave my car to go to your restaurant? I'm like, "You know, I never really thought about it. I'm just kind of used to it." The dad was pissed off about that. Jack: He was. Jill: It was really funny. Jack: You know what my response is? I think he's probably right. Jill: I think he's right, too. Jack: Why am I paying to park if I'm coming to your place? Jill: Exactly. It was so darn funny. That was just a thing that just got to him. What was so cute too was I kind of felt bad for her, it sounds like her family came out and they visited and they're not coming back. Jack: Yeah. She said, "I think that's about it." Jill: Yeah, I guess she's got to go visit them there. For some people, that's okay. Jack: Right. Hey, in this episode, Jill and I talk about flipping houses. This is little mini episode 3 of 3. It's called Mail, Merge, Print, and Send. It's a piece of this that I don't think it's talked about enough and we don't get enough questions about it. It seems just, I guess, a mechanical piece. I'm going to try to make this as fun as possible, okay Jill? Jill: Got it. Jack: Great show.
