May 22, 2024 Are you using SMS in your marketing? SMS is "code" for text messaging. It stands for short message service. And in today's podcast, my guest, Ari Memar, is going to give us a basic tutorial in how we can be using texting in our farm marketing strategy. Turns out there is a LOT of money to be made when we leverage this tool, because the open rates are ridiculously high. But it can also be used for customer support and onboarding. Ari is the founder of FarmHand, a virtual assistant for small farms. And one of the tools it offers its customers is weekly texting. Ari shares how Farmhand uses this feature to guide new clients to buy and help his farmer clients make money. This conversation made me want to go out and buy a texting app!! (He recommends Twillio and Text Magic by the way). Podcast Guest: Who is Ari Memar? As a hobby farmer in Sebastopol, CA, Ari Memar knows farming is more than just a job–it's a way of life. As stewards of our nature and local community, small farms are critical to our local community and food system but often overmatched by the resources available — technology, equipment, sales & marketing teams, back office staff — to larger farms. So, in partnership with local family farmers,, Ari founded Farmhand to equip farmers with the technology and services they need to win back local share of the food dollar, and support a thriving local food system.

In episode 71 of the We Hack Purple Podcast Host Tanya Janca speaks to the Ariel Shin from Twillio! Ariel does product security, and as you might imagine, Tanya had at least 100 questions for her. We discussed threat modelling, influence, persuasion and other communication skills needed to be an effective #AppSec person (or any security professional, for that matter). The conversation got really interesting as we dove into how to communicate with an executive, versus an engineer, versus a non-tech person, and how we can communicate and advocate for security (effectively) in the process. She talked about breaking down an argument into multiple pieces, to ensure you get the message across the best possible way. If you are someone who has struggled with convincing the rest of IT to patch or fix bugs, she breaks down how to do this in a way Tanya plans to adopt from now on. Take a listen at the links below! Ariel's Bio: Ariel Shin is a product security team lead at Twilio. Ariel started her career as a penetration tester, specializing in web and mobile security, before moving into the product security space. Ariel enjoys building relationships with developers through secure code reviews, threat modeling, security training, and vulnerability management.

This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: This episode is sponsored by our friends at Logicworks. Getting to the cloud is challenging enough for many places, especially maintaining security, resiliency, cost control, agility, etc, etc, etc. Things break, configurations drift, technology advances, and organizations, frankly, need to evolve. How can you get to the cloud faster and ensure you have the right team in place to maintain success over time? Day 2 matters. Work with a partner who gets it - Logicworks combines the cloud expertise and platform automation to customize solutions to meet your unique requirements. Get started by chatting with a cloud specialist today at snark.cloud/logicworks. That's snark.cloud/logicworksCorey: Cloud native just means you've got more components or microservices than anyone (even a mythical 10x engineer) can keep track of.

Visit OpsLevel.com to learn how easy it is to build and manage your service catalog. Connect to your git provider and you're off to the races with service import, repo ownership, tech docs, and more. Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. My guest today is Emily Ruppe, who's a solutions engineer over at Jeli.io, but her entire career has generally focused around incident management. So, I sort of view her as being my eternal nemesis, just because I like to cause problems by and large and then I make incidents for other people to wind up solving. Emily, thank you for joining me and agreeing to suffer my slings and arrows here.Emily: Yeah. Hey, I like causing problems too. I am a solutions engineer, but sometimes we like to call ourselves problems engineers. So.Corey: Yeah, I'm a problems architect is generally how I tend to view it. But doing the work, ah, one wonders. So, you are a Jeli, where as of this recording, you've been for a year now. And before that, you spent some time over at Twilio slash SendGrid—spoiler, it's kind of the same company, given the way acquisitions tend to work and all. And—Emily: Now, it is.Corey: Yeah. Oh, yeah. You were there during the acquisition.Emily: Mm-hm. Yes, they acquired me and that's why they bought SendGrid.Corey: Indeed. It's a good reason to acquire a company. That one person I want to bring in. Absolutely. So, you started with email and then effectively continued in that general direction, given the Twilio now has eaten that business whole. And that's where I started my career.The one thing I've learned about email systems is that they love to cause problems because it's either completely invisible and no one knows, or suddenly an email didn't go through and everyone's screaming at you. And there's no upside, only down. So, let me ask the obvious question I suspect I know the answer to here. What made you decide to get into incident management?Emily: [laugh]. Well, I joined SendGrid actually, I've, I love mess. I run towards problems. I'm someone who really enjoys that. My ADHD, I hyperfocus, incidents are like that perfect environment of just, like, all of the problems are laying themselves out right in front of you, the distraction is the focus. It's kind of a wonderful place where I really enjoy the flow of that.But I've started in customer support. I've been in technical support and customer—I used to work at the Apple Store, I worked at the Genius Bar for a long time, moved into technical support over the phone, and whenever things broke really bad, I really enjoyed that process and kind of getting involved in incidents. And I came, I was one of two weekend support people at SendGrid, came in during a time of change and growth. And everyone knows that growth, usually exponential growth, usually happens very smoothly and nothing breaks during that time. So… no, there was a lot of incidents.And because I was on the weekend, one of the only people on the weekend, I kind of had to very quickly find my way and learn when do I escalate this. How do I make the determination that this is something that is an incident? And you know, is this worth paging engineers that are on their weekend? And getting involved in incidents and being kind of a core communication between our customers and engineers.Corey: For those who might not have been involved in sufficiently scaled-out environments, that sounds counterintuitive, but one of the things that you learn—very often the hard way—has been that as you continue down the path of building a site out and scaling it, it stops being an issue relatively quickly of, “Is the site up or down?” And instead becomes a question of, “How up is it?” So, it's it doesn't sound obvious until you've lived it, but declaring what is an incident versus what isn't an incident is incredibly nuanced and it's not the sort of thing that lends itself to casual solutions. Because every time a customer gets an error, we should open an incident on that. Well, I've worked at companies that throw dozens of 500 errors every second at their scale. You will never hire enough people to solve that if you do an incident process on even 10% of them.Emily: Yeah. So, I mean, it actually became something that when you join Twilio, they have you create a project using Twilio's API to earn your track jacket, essentially. It's kind of like an onboarding thing. And as they absorbed SendGrid, we all did that onboarding process. And mine was a number for support people to text and it would ask them six questions and if they answered yes to more than two of them, it would text back, “Okay, maybe you should escalate this.”And the questions were pretty simple of, “Can emails be sent?” [laugh]. Can customers log into their website? Are you able to view this particular part of the website? Because it is—with email in particular, at SendGrid in particular—the bulk of it is the email API. So, like, the site being up or down was the easiest type of incident, the easiest thing to flex on because that's so much easier to see.Being able to determine, like, what percentage or what level, like, how many emails are not processing? Are they getting stuck or is this, like, the correct amount of things that should be bouncing because of IP reput—there's, like, a thousand different things. We had kind of this visualization of this mail pipeline that was just a mess of all of these different pipes kind of connected together. And mail could get stuck in a lot of different places, so it was a lot of spending time trying to find that and segwayed into project management. I was a QA for a little while doing QA work.Became a project manager and learned a lot about imposing process because you're supposed to and that sometimes imposing process on teams that are working well can actually destroy them [laugh]. So, I learned a lot of interesting things about process the hard way. And during all of that time that I was doing project management, I kind of accidentally started owning the incident response process because a lot of people left, I had been a part of the incident analysis group as well, and so I kind of became the sole owner of that. And when Twilio purchase SendGrid, I found out they were creating an incident commander team and I just reached out and said, “Here's all of SendGrids incident response stuff. We just created a new Slackbot, I just retrained the entire team on how to talk to each other and recognize when something might be an incident. Please don't rewrite all of this to be Twillio's response process.”And Terry, the person who was putting together that team said, “Excellent. You're going to be [laugh] welcome to Twilio Incident Command. This is your problem and it's a lot worse than you thought because here's all the rest of it.” So yeah, it was really interesting experience coming into technically the same company, but an entirely different company and finding out—like, really trying to learn and understand all of the differences, and you know, the different problems, the different organizational history, the, like, fascia that has been built up between some of these parts of the organization to understand why things are the way that they are within process. It's very interesting.And I kind of get to do it now as my job. I get to learn about the full organizational subtext of [laugh] all of these different companies to understand how incident response works, how incident analysis works, and maybe some of the whys. Like, what are the places where there was a very bad incident, so we put in very specific, very strange process pieces in order to navigate that, or teams that are difficult to work with, so we've built up interesting process around them. So yeah.Corey: It feels like that can almost become ossified if you're not careful because you wind up with a release process that's two thousand steps long, and each one of them is there to wind up avoiding a specific type of failure that had happened previously. And this gets into a world where, in so many cases, there needs to be a level of dynamism to how you wind up going about your work. It feels almost like companies have this idealized vision of the future where if they can distill every task that happens within the company down to a series of inputs and responses—scripts almost—you can either wind up replacing your staff with a bunch of folks who just work from a runbook and cost way less money or computers in the ultimate sense of things. But that's been teased for generations now and I have a very hard time seeing a path where you're ever going to be able to replace the contextually informed level of human judgment that, honestly, has fixed every incident I've ever seen.Emily: Yeah. The problem comes down to in my opinion, the fact that humans wrote this code, people with specific context and specific understanding of how the thing needs to work in a specific way and the shortcomings and limitations they have for the libraries they're using or the different things are trying to integrate in, a human being is who's writing the code. Code is not being written by computers, it's being written by people who have understanding and subtext. And so, when you have that code written and then maybe that person leaves or that person joins a different team and they focus and priorities on something else, there is still human subtests that exists within the services that have been written. We have it call in this specific way and timeout in this specific amount of time because when we were writing it, there was this ancient service that we had to integrate with.Like, there's always just these little pieces of we had to do things because we were people trying to make connections with lines of code. We're trying to connect a bunch of things to do some sort of task, and we have a human understanding of how to get from A to B, and probably if A computer wrote this code, it would work in an entirely different way, so in order to debug a problem, the humans usually need some sort of context, like, why did we do this the way that we did this? And I think it's a really interesting thing that we're finding that it is very hard to replace humans around computers, even though intellectually we think, like, this is all computers. But it's not. It's people convincing computers to do things that maybe they shouldn't necessarily be doing. Sometimes they're things that computers shouldn't be doing, maybe, but a lot of the times, it's kind of a miracle [laugh] that any of these things continue to work on it on a given basis. And I think that it's very interesting when we, I think, we think that we can take people out of it.Corey: The problem I keep running into though, the more I think about this and the more I see it out there is I don't think that it necessarily did incident management any favors when it was originally cast as the idea of blamelessness and blameless postmortems. Just because it seems an awful lot to me like the people who are the most advocate champions of approaching things from a blameless perspective and having a blameless culture are the people who would otherwise have been blamed themselves. So, it really kind of feels on some broader level, like, “Oh, was this entire movement really just about being self-serving so that people don't themselves get in trouble?” Because if you're not going to blame no one, you're going to blame me instead. I think that, on some level, set up a framing that was not usually helpful for folks with only a limited understanding of what the incident lifecycle looks like.Emily: Mmm. Yeah, I think we've evolved, right? I think, from the blameless, I think there was good intentions there, but I think that we actually missed the really big part of that boat that a lot of folks glossed over because then, as it is now, it's a little bit harder to sell. When we're talking about being blameless, we have to talk about circumventing blame in order to get people to talk candidly about their experiences. And really, it's less about blaming someone and what they've done because we as humans blame—there's a great Brené Brown talk that she gives, I think it's a TED talk about blame and how we as humans cannot physically avoid blaming, placing blame on things.It's about understanding where that's coming from, and working through it that is actually how we grow. And I think that we're starting to kind of shift into this more blame-aware culture. But I think the hard pill to swallow about blamelessness is that we actually need to talk about the way that this stuff makes us feel as people. Like feelings, like emotions [laugh]. Talk about emotions during a technical incident review is not really an easy thing to get some tech executives to swallow.Or even engineers. There's a lot of engineers who are just kind of like, “Why do you care about how I felt about this problem?” But in reality, you can't measure emotions as easily as you can measure Mean Time to Resolution. But Mean Time to Resolution is impacted really heavily by, like, were we freaking out? Did we feel like we had absolutely no idea what we were trying to solve, or did we understand this problem, and we were confident that we could solve it; we just couldn't find the specific place where this bug was happening. All of that is really interesting and important context about how we work together and how our processes work for us, but it's hard because we have to talk about our feelings.Corey: I think that you're onto something here because I look back at the key outages that really define my perspective on things over the course of my career, and most of the early ones were beset by a sense of panic of am I going to get fired for this? Because at the time, I was firmly convinced that well, root cause is me. I am the person that did the thing that blew up production. And while I am certainly not blameless in some of those things, I was never setting out with an intent to wind up tiering things down. So, it was not that I was a bad actor subverting internal controls because, in many companies, you don't need that level of rigor.This was a combination of factors that made it easy or possible to wind up tiering things down when I did not mean to. So, there were absolutely systemic issues there. But I still remember that rising tide of panic. Like, should I be focused on getting the site backup or updating my resume? Which of these is going to be the better longer-term outcome? And now that I've been in this industry long enough and I've seen enough of these, it's, you almost don't feel the blood pressure rise anymore when you wind up having something gets panicky. But it takes time and nuance to get there.Emily: Yeah. Well, and it's also, in order to best understand how you got in that situation, like, were you willing to tell people that you were absolutely panicked? Would you have felt comfortable, like, if someone was saying like, “Okay, so what happened? How did—walk me through what you were experiencing?” Would you have said like, “I was scared out of my goddamn mind?”Were you absolutely panicking or did you feel like you had some, like, grasping at some straws? Like, where were you? Because uncovering that for the person who is experiencing that in the issue, in the incident can help understand, what resources did they feel like they knew where to go to. Or where did they go to? Like, what resource did they decide in the middle of this panicked haze to grasp for? Is that something that we should start using as, “Hey, if it's your first time on call, this is a great thing to pull into,” because that's where instinctively you went?Like, there's so much that we can learn from the people who are experiencing [laugh] this massive amount of panic during the incident. But sometimes we will, if we're being quote-unquote, “Blameless,” gloss over your entire, like, your involvement in that entirely. Because we don't want to blame Corey for this thing happening. Instead, we'll say, “An engineer made a decision and that's fine. We'll move past that.” But there's so much wealth of information there.Corey: Well, I wound up in postmortems later when I ran teams, I said, “Okay, so an engineer made a mistake.” It's like, “Well, hang on. There's always more to it than that”—Emily: Uh-huh.Corey: —“Because we don't hire malicious people and the people we have are competent for their role.” So, that goes a bit beyond that. We will never get into a scenario people do not make mistakes in a variety of different ways. So, that's not a helpful framing, it's a question of what—if they made a mistake, sure, what was it that brought them to that place because that's where it gets really interesting. The problem is when you're trying to figure out in a business context why a customer is super upset—if they're a major partner, for example—and there's a sense of, “All right, we're looking for a sacrificial lamb or someone that we can blame for this because we tend to think in relatively straight lines.”And in those scenarios, often, a nuanced understanding of the systemic failure modes within your organization that might wind up being useful in the mid to long-term are not helpful for the crisis there. So, trying to stuff too much into a given incident response might be a symptom there. I'm thinking of one or two incidents in the course of my later career that really had that stink to them, for lack of a better term. What's your take on the idea?Emily: I've been in a lot of incidents where it's the desire to be able to point and say a person made this mistake is high, it's definitely something that the, “organization”—and I put the organization in quotes there—and say technical leadership, or maybe PR or the comms team said like, “We're going to say, like, a person made this mistake,” when in reality, I mean, nine times out of ten, calling it a mistake is hindsight, right? Usually people—sometimes we know that we make a mistake and it's the recovery from that, that is response. But a lot of times we are making an informed decision, you know? An engineer has the information that they have available to them at the time and they're making an informed decision, and oh, no [laugh], it does not go as we planned, things in the system that we didn't fully understand are coexisting, it's a perfect storm of these events in order to lead to impact to this important customer.For me, I've been customer-facing for a very long time and I feel like from my observation, customers tend to—like if you say, like, “This person did something wrong,” versus, “We learned more about how the system works together and we understand how these kind of different pieces and mechanisms within our system are not necessarily single points of failure, but points at which they interact that we didn't understand could cause impact before, and now we have a better understanding of how our system works and we're making some changes to some pieces,” I feel like personally, as someone who has had to say that kind of stuff to customers a thousand times, saying, “It was a person who did this thing,” it shows so much less understanding of the event and understanding of the system than actually talking through the different components and different kind of contributing factors that were wrong. So, I feel like there's a lot of growth that we as an industry can could go from blaming things on an intern to actually saying, “No, we invested time and understanding how a single person could perform these actions that would lead to this impact, and now we have a deeper understanding of our system,” is in my opinion, builds a little bit more confidence from the customer side.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by Honeycomb. I'm not going to dance around the problem. Your. Engineers. Are. Burned. Out. They're tired from pagers waking them up at 2 am for something that could have waited until after their morning coffee. They're fed up with relying on two or three different “monitoring tools” that still require them to manually trudge through logs to decipher what might be wrong. Simply put, there's a better way. Observability tools like Honeycomb show you the patterns and outliers of how users experience your code in complex and unpredictable environments so you can spend less time firefighting and more time innovating. It's great for your business, great for your engineers, and, most importantly, great for your customers. Try FREE today at honeycomb.io/screaminginthecloud. That's honeycomb.io/screaminginthecloud.Corey: I think so much of this is—I mean, it gets back to your question to me that I sort of dodged was I willing to talk about how my emotional state in these moments? And yeah, I was visibly sweating and very nervous and I've always been relatively okay with calling out the fact that I'm not in a great place at the moment, and I'm panicking. And it wasn't helped in some cases by, in those early days, the CEO of the company standing over my shoulder, coming down from the upstairs building to know what was going on, and everything had broken. And in that case, I was only coming in to do mop-up I wasn't one of the factors contributing to this, at least not by a primary or secondary degree, and it still was incredibly stress-inducing. So, from that perspective, it feels odd.But you also talk about ‘we,' in the sense of as an industry, as a culture, and the rest. I'm going to push back on that a little bit because there are still companies today in the closing days of 2022 that are extraordinarily far behind where many of us are at the companies we work for. And they're still stuck in the relative Dark Ages technically, were, “Well, are VMs okay, or should we stay on bare metal?” Is still the era that they're in, let alone cloud, let alone containerization, let alone infrastructure as code, et cetera, et cetera. I'm unconvinced that they have meaningfully progressed on the interpersonal aspects of incident management when they've been effectively frozen in amber from a technical basis.Emily: Mmm, I don't think that's fair [laugh].Corey: No. Excellent. Let's talk about that.Emily: [laugh]. I think just because an organization is still, like, maybe in DCs and using hardware and maybe hasn't advanced so thoroughly within the technical aspect of things, that doesn't necessarily mean that they haven't adopted new—Corey: Ah, very fair. Let me add one point of clarification, then, on this because what I'm talking about here is the fact there are companies who are that far behind on a technical basis, they are not necessarily one and the same, too—Emily: Correct.Corey: Because you're using older technology, that means your processes are stuck in the past, too.Emily: Right.Corey: But rather, just as there are companies that are anxious on the technology basis, there are also companies who will be 20 years behind in learnings—Emily: Yes.Corey: —compared to how the more progressive folks have already internalized some of these things ages ago. Blamelessness is still in the future for them. They haven't gotten there yet.Emily: I mean, yeah, there's still places that are doing root cause analysis, that are doing the five whys. And I think that we're doing our best [laugh]. I mean, I think it really takes—that's a cultural change. A lot of the actual change in approach of incident analysis and incident response is a cultural change. And I can speak from firsthand experience that that's really hard to do, especially from the inside it's very hard to do.So luckily, with the role that I'm in now at Jeli.io, I get to kind of support those folks who are trying to champion a change like that internally. And right now, my perspective is just trying to generate as much material for those folks to send internally, to say like, “Hey, there's a better way. Hey, there's a different approach for this that can maybe get us around these things that are difficult.” I do think that there's this tendency—and I've used this analogy before—is for us to think that our junk drawers are better than somebody else's junk drawers.I see an organization as just a junk drawer, a drawer full of weird odds and ends and spilled glue and, like, a broken box of tacks. And when you pull out somebody else's junk drawer, you're like, “This is a mess. This is an absolute mess. How can anyone live like this?” But when you pull out your own junk drawer, like, I know there are 17 rubber bands in this drawer, somehow. I am going to just completely rifle through this drawer until I find those things that I know are in here.Just a difference of knowing where our mess is, knowing where the bodies are buried, or the skeletons are in each closet, whatever analogy works best. But I think that some organizations have this thought process that—by organizations, I mean, executive leadership organizations are not an entity with an opinion, they're made up of a bunch of individuals doing [laugh] the work that they need to do—but they think that their problems are harder or more unique than at other organizations. And so, it's a lot harder to kind of help them see that, yes, there is a very unique situation, the way that your people work together with their technology is unique to every single different organization, but it's not that those problems cannot be solved in new and different ways. Just because we've always done something in this way does not mean that is the way that is serving us the best in this moment. So, we can experiment and we can make some changes.Especially with process, especially with the human aspect of things of how we talk to each other during incidents and how we communicate externally during incidents. Those aren't hard-coded. We don't have to do a bunch of code reviews and make sure it's working with existing integrations to be able to make those changes. We can experiment with that kind of stuff and I really would like to try to encourage folks to do that even though it seems scary because incidents are… [unintelligible 00:24:33] people think they're scary. They're not. They're [unintelligible 00:24:35].Corey: They seem to be. For a lot of folks, they are. Let's not be too dismissive on that.Emily: But we were both talking about panic [laugh] and the panic that we have felt during incidents. And I don't want to dismiss that and say that it's not real. But I also think that we feel that way because we're worried about how we're going to be judged for our involvement in them. We're panicking because, “Oh no, we have contributed to this in some way, and the fact that I don't know what to do, or the fact that I did something is going to reflect poorly on me, or maybe I'm going to get fired.” And I think that the panic associated with incidents also very often has to do with the environment in which you are experiencing that incident and how that is going to be accepted and discussed. Are you going to be blamed regardless of how, quote-unquote, “Blameless,” your organization is?Corey: I wish there was a better awareness of a lot of these things, but I don't think that we are at a point yet where we're there.Emily: No.Corey: How does this map what you do, day-to-day over at Jeli.io?Emily: It is what I do every single day. So, I mean, I do a ton of different things. We're a very small startup, so I'm doing a lot, but the main thing that I'm doing is working with our customers to tackle these hurdles within each of their organizations. Our customers vary from very small organizations to very, very large organizations, and working with them to find how to make movement, how to sell this internally, sell this idea of let's talk about our incidents a little bit differently, let's maybe dial back some of the hard-coded automation that we're doing around response and change that to speaking to each other, as opposed to, we need 11 emails sent automatically upon the creation of an incident that will automatically map to these three PagerDuty schedules, and a lot more of it can be us working through the issue together and then talking about it afterwards, not just in reference to the root cause, but in how we interfaced: how did it go, how did response work, as well as how did we solve the problem of the technical problem that occurred?So, I kind of pinch myself. I feel very lucky that I get to work with a lot of different companies to understand these human aspects and the technical aspects of how to do these experiments and make some change within organizations to help make incidents easier. That's the whole feeling, right? We were talking about the panic. It doesn't need to be as hard as it feels, sometimes. And I think that it can be easier than we let ourselves think.Corey: That's a good way of framing it. It just feels on so many levels like this is one of the hardest areas to build a company in because you're not really talking about fixing technical, broken systems out there. You're talking about solving people problems. And I have some software that solves your people problems, I'm not sure if that's ever been true.Emily: Yeah, it's not the software that's going to solve the people problems. It's building the skills. A lot of what we do is we have software that helps you immensely in the analysis process and build out a story as opposed to just building out a timeline, trying to tell, kind of, the narrative of the incident because that's what works. Like anthropologically, we've been conveying information through folklore, through tales, telling tales of things that happened in order to help teach people lessons is kind of how we've—oral history has worked for [laugh] thousands of years. And we aren't better than that just because we have technology, so it's really about helping people uncover those things by using the technology we have: pulling in Slack transcripts, and PagerDuty alerts, and Zoom transcripts, and all of this different information that we have available to us, and help people tell that story and convey that story to the folks that were involved in it, as well as other peoples in your organization who might have similar things come up in the future.And that's how we learn. That's how we teach. But that's what we learn. I feel like there's a big difference—I'm understanding, there's a big difference between being taught something and learning something because you usually have to earn that knowledge when you learn it. You can be taught something a thousand times and then you've learned that once.And so, we're trying to use those moments that we actually learn it where we earn that hard-earned information through an incident and tell those stories and convey that, and our team—the solutions team—is in there, helping people build these skills, teaching people how to talk to each other [laugh] and really find out this information during incidents, not after them.Corey: I really want to thank you for being as generous with your time as you have been. And if people want to learn more, where's the best place to find you?Emily: Oh. I was going to say Twitter, but… [laugh].Corey: Yeah, that's a big open question these days, isn't it? Assuming it's still there by the time this episode airs, it might be a few days between now and then. Where should they find you on Twitter, with a big asterisk next to it?Emily: It's at @themortalemily. Which, I started this by saying I like mess and I'm someone who loves incidents, so I'll be on Twitter [laugh].Corey: We're there to watch it all burn.Emily: Oh, I feel terrible saying that. Actually, if any Twitter engineers are listening to this, someone is found that the TLS certificate is going to expire at the end of this year. Please check Twitter for where that TLS certificate lives so that you all can renew that. Also, Jeli.io, we have a blog that a lot of us write, our solutions team, we—and honestly a lot of us, we tend to hire folks who have a lot of experience in incident response and analysis.I've never been a solutions engineer before in my life, but I've done a lot of incident response. So, we put up a lot of stuff and our goal is to build resources that are available to folks who are trying to make these changes happen, who are in those organizations where they're still doing five whys, and RCAs, and are trying to convince people to experiment and change. We have our Howie Guide, which is available for free. It's ‘How We Got Here' which is, like, a full, free incident analysis guide and a lot of cool blogs and stuff there. So, if you can't find me on Twitter, we're writing… things… there [laugh].Corey: We will, of course, put links to all of that in the [show notes 00:30:46]. Thank you so much for your time today. It's appreciated.Emily: Thank you, Corey. This was great.Corey: Emily Ruppe, solutions engineer at Jeli.io. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn, and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

Modern marketing isn't just for tech-savvy coding experts, especially if armed with the right tools to be successful. In today's episode of the MORE podcast, Ricardo is joined by the founder of creative agency Underbelly, Anthony Lagoon, to learn the tech tools and platforms he uses to be successful. The primary platform for today's discussion? Airtable. Airtable helps automate processes within the company and links several different tools together. From sales funnel requests and client touchpoints to project management and potential roadmaps, Anthony maps out timelines a month in advance with Airtable. This helps his team plan for their workload, PTO, and hiring opportunities. Airtable is much more robust than a spreadsheet. It creates automation without needing a developer. Who is Airtable for? It can be used by any business professional looking to move beyond the spreadsheet. If you get an email, it can scan it to determine the email type and then place it in the appropriate workflow. Spreadsheets store information, but Airtable is the backend that can support more facilities of your organization. If you have a website, it'll be good as a content management system to automatically publish to a website and workflow. How is Airtable different from comparable platforms? Its competitors could be a time-tracking tool or no-code software like GlideApps to create custom applications. While it can get complex, there are simple integration opportunities with Google Sheets and similar platforms. Using Airtable helped Anthony cut 3-4 other tools from his current toolkit because of the wide variety of features Airtable offers. Practical applications: Anthony wanted a SaaS, but they had a limited budget. With AirTable, they used Airtable as their background to make an Admin interface, which has been incredibly productive and allowed them to scale quickly. Twillio is a third-party texting service. Anthony's final takeaways? As a business professional, he likes to learn something new each day. By focusing on his and his employees' growth, he can plan for long-term success.

Sales and marketing have evolved significantly in the past few decades, especially in the SaaS space. In the 90s, for example, we had sales-led growth, with sellers doing cold calling and hitting the phones. In the 2000s, it was about marketing-led sales or marketing-led growth, with events, inbound leads and SDRs doing outbound prospecting. Now, according to my guest in this episode of the Modern Selling Podcast, we are moving into a new era of product-led sales. Doug Landis is a Growth Partner at Emergence Capital. In this role, he is responsible for capturing, creating and sharing go-to-market strategies and ideas with the Emergence Capital portfolio companies and the greater SaaS community. Join us in this conversation about the future of the sales force and how to better qualify your leads. What is Product-Led Growth? “I would argue in this generation and especially over the next three to five years,” says Doug, “you're going to see a tectonic shift to product-led growth, meaning the product is leading every single interaction. Instead of us doing outbound prospecting to a brand new client cold, we're actually reaching out to people who are deeply already involved and getting value out of our product.” He gives the example of Slack, Dropbox or Twillio, where people just go to their websites, enter some information and can start using the product right away, getting full value. In this scenario, people have a need and instead of having a sales conversation with a rep or requesting a demo, they can try a product for free and immediately know and understand whether it is the right fit for them, the solution they were looking for. After customers try the product, an SDR would call them and help them get more value out of it. “So now an SDR’s role is different,” Doug says, “because I'm no longer cold calling people who I think are a good fit. I'm actually looking for signals in the product based on how you're using it to call you and help you learn how to get more value out of the product and in doing so you will then become a paying customer.” This scenario implies we are moving from a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) or a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) to a Product Qualified Lead (PQL). And when working with PQLs, both sellers and marketers have a different role in the buying process. SDRs become Product Specialists, now having conversations with prospects who have tried the product, and marketers focus on leading people to a product trial, not a web form. Listen to the whole episode to learn Doug’s predictions about the future of SDRs and how their role will dramatically change. From SDRs to Product Specialists Here are some ways Doug sees the SDR and AE roles shifting: Sales conversations will focus on discovering why a free user should turn into a paying customer. It’s all about upselling opportunities and how the product could be used more broadly across the client’s organization. Using data on product usage to create more sales opportunities. Although many SaaS companies are already doing this, Doug predicts it will be more common in the next two years, as companies ask themselves, how do we get people into our product with the least amount of friction with the most amount of value? This is the future of the sales force and as sales leaders, we must think differently about the characteristics of our sellers and the metrics we use to measure sales success. “What we're looking for is more product signals versus the prototypical marketing signals, like the MQL and the SQL,” Doug says. Listen to the episode to hear how the PQL is more valuable than the MQL, and why Doug thinks the MQL actually doesn’t exist (Hint: they are just contacts until someone talks to them and validates they are a good fit). Also learn why modern sales organizations must change the way they qualify leads and the real job of an account executive.
New ESG S&P Indexes. Top tech stocks, and more! Reviewed include Twillio, Etsy, Pinterest, Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 ESG ETF, Xtrackers S&P SmallCap 600 ESG ETF, Humankind US Stock ETF, CropEnergies AG, SunPower Corporation, Renewable Energy Group, Inc., Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P., NextEra Energy, Inc., Ørsted A/S, Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Tesla, Inc., Iberdrola, S.A. PODCAST: New ESG S&P Indexes. Top Tech Stocks Transcript & Links, Episode 53, March 12, 2021 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to podcast episode 53 published on March 12, titled “New ESG S&P Indexes, Top Tech Stocks”— and presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript, links to content – including stock symbols, quotes, and bonus material – at this episode’s podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. And Google any terms that are unfamiliar to you. ------------------------------------------------------------- Appearing on fool.com Danny Vena wrote an interesting article titled 3 Top Tech Stocks That Will Make You Richer in March (and Beyond). I think these would likely fit in any ethical and sustainable portfolio. I’ll mention the three stocks followed by some brief comments from Mr. Vena. “1. Twilio (NYSE: TWLO) Many consumers have used Twilio's tools without even realizing it. The real-time messages you get from your food delivery service? The updates from your rideshare provider? The ability to reset a password within an app? How about in-app chats with customer service? If you've experienced any of those, there's a pretty good chance it was underpinned by Twilio's technology. 2. Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) While e-commerce platforms Amazon and Shopify stole the headlines last year, they were both outdone by the little engine that could: Etsy. The tailwinds that propelled digital retail also extended to retro and vintage goods, as well as handmade products. Those trends all played right into Etsy's wheelhouse. The company turned these once niche markets into a lucrative enterprise… 3. Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) It seems like it's only a matter of time before antitrust and regulatory concerns catch up with Facebook… Investors looking for exposure to social media growth without all the drama are turning to Pinterest… The platform acts as a digital repository and ‘visual discovery engine’ that allows users to find, save, and organize all their favorite things from around the internet.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- New ESG S&P Indexes Now, this could be something that many ethical and sustainable investors might like. The details are in an article 2 new ESG ETFs bring small- and mid-cap stocks into focus. It’s by Jeff Benjamin and was on investmentnews.com. Mr. Benjamin writes that: “Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 ESG ETF (MIDE), and Xtrackers S&P SmallCap 600 ESG ETF (SMLE) listed Wednesday applying sustainable investing screens to the popular indexes. These are the first ETFs to track the environmental, social and governance versions of the indexes… The new listings follow the Xtrackers S&P 500 ESG ETF (SNPE), which launched in June 2019 and has since grown to nearly $450 million. That fund gained 19.9% in 2020 and is up 3.4% this year through Feb. 23, which compares to the S&P 500 Index, which gained 16.3% last year and is up 3.3% so far this year.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 15 Biggest Renewable Energy Companies and Stocks So, here we go again with another analysis of the renewable energy sector titled 15 Biggest Renewable Energy Companies and Stocks.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This is Equity Monday, our weekly kickoff that tracks the latest big news, chats about the coming week, digs into some recent funding rounds and mulls over a larger theme or narrative from the private markets. You can follow the show on Twitter here and myself here — and don’t forget to check out last Friday’s episode.So, what was on our minds this morning?Headlines: The Twilio-Segment deal is real, happening, and is priced about where we expected. Big names in the ex-China Internet want to make encryption worse. And, how the United States government would break up Google is becoming clearer by the week.On the Twilio Segment deal, as TechCrunch and Forbes anticipated, the transaction came in around $3.2 billion, forming something of a API monster from their combined form. As we noted on the show, a lot of investors made a mint from the transaction.Airkit has raised $28 million while in stealth since 2017. What does it do? Per Forbes, it's a "low-code platform" that wants to "improve customer engagement." That's notably similar to what Segment does.Flash Express raised $200 million, as the on-demand and delivery spaces stay hot.And Razorpay raised $100 million at a valuation of $1 billion, meaning that we have just witnessed the birth of yet another fintech unicorn.And, finally, warm public markets mean that the startup and VC game will stay afoot, even if we see a pre-election dip in IPOs.We hope that you are well and warm and fully of good spirits. Back soon!

And, how the United States government would break up Google is becoming clearer by the week.On the Twilio Segment deal, as TechCrunch and Forbes anticipated, the transaction came in around $3.2 billion, forming something of a API monster from their combined form. As we noted on the show, a lot of investors made a mint from the transaction.Airkit has raised $28 million while in stealth since 2017. What does it do? Per Forbes, it's a "low-code platform" that wants to "improve customer engagement." That's notably similar to what Segment does.Flash Express raised $200 million, as the on-demand and delivery spaces stay hot.And Razorpay raised $100 million at a valuation of $1 billion, meaning that we have just witnessed the birth of yet another fintech unicorn.And, finally, warm public markets mean that the startup and VC game will stay afoot, even if we see a pre-election dip in IPOs.We hope that you are well and warm and fully of good spirits. Back soon!

Nidhi, a recent computer engineering graduate from the University of California at Berkeley, reflects on her time at the school; specifically about what she liked about the school and areas where she would like to see improvements. She then explains how her love for entertainment and performing pushed her to audition and make the San Francisco 49ers & Sacramento Kings' respective dance teams, breaking barriers and becoming one of the first dancers of South Asian heritage to make a professional team. Due to that, she was given the chance to travel to Mumbai and perform in the NBA India Games, which she reflects on, citing how incredible the experience was.Lastly, she outlines her job as a software engineering intern @ Twillio and how she has adapted to the change of life, fighting "imposter syndrome" and being the only woman and by far the youngest on her team.Nidhi's Instagram & TikTok : @nidhi.reddy.kFollow On Ya Mind on Instagram & TikTok : @onyamindpodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBi3gz93c5_f4qBqLqim04w/featured?view_as=subscriber

Tonight we’re joined by our friends from New Jersey – Mike Zapcic and Ming Chen from ASharedUniverse podcast studios, as well as AMC’s Comic Book Men, comic cons around the nation, and all sorts of other places. It’s always a great time when we get to hang and chat with them, so listen in as we talk about the shared pain of shutting down our podcast studios during this pandemic, movies, tv shows, our opinions about the future of comic cons, when things might start getting back to “normal”, and much, much more… Hey, this is episode 343 of the one and all the IT in the D show. We actually have guests this week. The one and only both dogs. There’s two of you can’t be the one and only Ming Chen and Mike Zapcic, you might know them from AMCs comic book men. You might know them now from the proprietors of a share universe podcast studio. Is that who you are? We’ll figure that one out or the Ming and Mike podcast. But yeah, this is going to no topics. Is it just catching up with their boys and uh, just talking about, uh, being quarantine. Dave, you may fire one live from our houses with more budget than Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon combined show. We’re broadcasting right here from our houses. Episode 343 Bob, the sales guy gave the gig. Randy, I do the Twitters is doing the Twitters and he’s with us. Find a saddle, line it in the [inaudible] dot com and give us a do a favor and give us a like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere. Fine podcasts are sold. Yeah. And this is where a, I usually dive in and start talking about our upcoming events and all that stuff we got going on. And uh, yeah, there ain’t none. There’s not a damn one. We are a, we are insanely lucky once again to be joined by two very good friends of ours. Uh, Ming Chen, Mike Zapcic, uh, AMCs comic book men. Did you send them the 40 bucks or was I supposed to cause I a I forgot. We need to get that check right. I got their Venmo. Randy quit eating. Okay. Thank you. That came up on my recommended I, I’m a YouTube junkie and I did go through my recommended videos and actually that your little commercial came up was one of my recommended. I was like, Oh crap, Dave’s got to send them a check. Fortunately, gentlemen, we are considered a nonessential business. Ah, and we gotta keep the lights on somehow. And here’s the thing. I mean, I get it, dude. That’s the, that’s the agony that we went through. I mean, it was a vetted a month ago, uh, today actually. Uh, we, you know, I think I was online chatting with Bob and Jamie and Matt, the guys that do our Northville studios, cause technically speaking, there is an exemption in our stay at home order for media companies and media production companies. And it was so, and it was like one of those things where, okay, just because we can doesn’t really necessarily mean we should. Cause I mean, God forbid something happens and somebody catches it yet. No, we’re done. Yeah, that’s what we said. Uh, I went there, Ming, what was it? Uh, actually a month ago this, this coming Friday and Ming’s taken copper wiring out of the wall. This kind of a bitch bear. Well that’s, that’s the Detroit, that’s the Detroit boy in him. He’s a, he’s finding an abandoned structure. And I’m like, what are you doing? He’s like, we’re podcasting from home. He’s like, I’m going to figure out how we’re going to do this. We’re going to freaking do, ah, bring your laptop. I’m like, I’m not leaving it here. Oh yeah. So, uh, yeah, we just now we’ve been doing this for a month and you know it’s not the same. No, no. We talked about this last week. Have you guys been watching late night? They’re like the Conans and Stalins and Kimmel’s like it’s this, this zero like we have microphones so like our budget’s higher. Like they’re literally just going with an iPhone. Right. And doing like, like a produced TV show at midnight. Like channels that it’s like the little Rascals but on network TV pretty much we’ll do it. Like I said, I mean the other day watching, you know, seeing a news program on TV, basically playing the live stream off of somebody’s Facebook page as part of the news content is, it just blew my mind the first time I saw it. I’m like, well yeah, I guess you wouldn’t want to have camera crews and reporters and all that kind of stuff. They’re there. Okay, this is what it is. Now they could have shipped them out at like a like a nice camera and some shit and told them where to plug one in. You know, and we’re going to stream here and see where to plug it in. Randy’s Randy’s been quarantined a couple of little bit longer than he, I don’t know if you saw even the little cheap logic webcams, they’re gone back ordered cause everyone’s snapped him up to do zoom in shifts. So, yeah. Yeah, I was laughing. I see a lot of celebrities are trying to live stream now and it’s frustrating as we’re watching them. We’re like, dude, just call us. Just call us, we’ll help you out. So we saw Chris Jericho, the wrestler, he did a licensee with Kevin and he was literally holding a laptop with Kevin’s face on it, like streaming dude. Wow. Chris, you have my number. Just call him. We’ll tell you how to connect you in livestream. Like, and you know, you guys have good Mike’s already. But you know, we were, we were just sitting back laughing a little bit, but I mean, I, I love that everyone’s trying, you know, they’re there, they’re there, they’re moving. Uh, they’re, they’re, they’re, they keep going. I love that little awkward though because like did you see Adam Sandler on Fallon? He’s singing the quarantine song. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, but it’s Jimmy Fallon, so he’ll pretty much do anything. Right, right. Well, no, I mean it is, it’s hard. I mean, you know, we’ve got, you know, we’ve, we’ve kept a bunch of our shows, uh, up and running, uh, that we’ve even got a couple of new ones starting this week, which is really weird. Um, but I mean the best way that I’ve come to describe it for people is like, so zoom is about as close as you’re going to get to being in studio right now. Like you can at least see each other, you can make eye contact, you can get body language and all that kind of stuff. And at a minimum we record audio just like we do as if you were sitting in the studios, just like in the studios. Yep. We got cameras there and we can turn them on and we can record. We can do video too. And Hey, if you want, we can stream it out. And all that stuff too. But I mean, so to me zoom is, like I said, I’ve been about as close as you’re going to get to being in studio at this point. Yeah. You just can’t smell each other. That’s the only sense. Hey, you can’t switch. I mean, I’m okay with, I mean if you’ve ever been in a room with Bob for an extended period of time, especially on draft beer and Coney night. So what do you, what do you guys been keeping busy? What do you guys watch? I gotta I got to tell a funny story real quick and we’ll uh, we’ll dive into the other stuff. We uh, we’ve been doing eighties movie nights for the kids. Nice. Vernors um, we’ve been, I’ve been trying to get my kids raised on eighties properly cause they haven’t seen a lot of the John Hughes movies. So, uh, Saturday night was airplane. I’m like, okay, you’re sitting down and you’re watching airplane. And uh, as soon as they go to the, my gumbo bar, see my 15 year old just looks at me and goes, really dad, this is from your podcast. This is where you’ve got it from. Like, yes, this is, it’s worse than Detroit. This is where I got it from. Hey, pay homage to the greatest movie ever, ever stolen. Um, for $600. Yeah. Right, right, right. I always say the fairly brothers, the sucker brothers to say, watch, I like had to watch the, um, the zero or thing afterwards. Just show him that it was stolen. Cause for somehow they didn’t believe me. I’m like, this is like line for line to see movies, his 50s movies. I mean they’re, they added the one liners and they’re teenagers and your other dad, of course they didn’t believe you. That’s how that works when you try to see, I think that’s a thing of comedy too, is when you keep telling people that it’s funny. It’s funny. It’s funny. It’s funny. Trust me. Like they just, they’re going to purposely, yeah, yeah, yeah. Law of diminishing returns. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. And that’s where all our wa, that’s where all our good material comes from is old movies that our kids haven’t seen yet. So they think we are, thank God God for Amazon women on the moon. Oh nice. I watched weird science with my wife and like I swear to God six times during the movie, she’s like, is that where you got that stupid line? Like rolling her eyes? Like you walk into a bar and you really have to go bar bar. Yeah. That’s why that is. Yeah. So yeah, I mean I guess, I guess that’s, that’s the question. But like I said, I mean, you know, from a podcast Detroit perspective, you know, we’ve kept, you know, a good percentage of our shows up and running and enrolling this way. Some people still wanted to take a break and cool. That’s fine. Um, but like I said, you know, we’ve got other new shows starting, like, how’s, how’s everything going with you guys? Uh, so far so good. And, uh, I’ve been hustling man because, uh, so you know, our audience, our, our podcast is, uh, know divided into thirds. There was one third, where was I going? I can’t come in. How do we do this online? Like they, they really want to keep going. The other third you kind of had to talk them into, that’s the nice thing about being at home. You can light up because I have like, I actually had literally have like three will you remember that? Like sharper image, the smoke eaters that they used to sell the big tall coat. Yeah, I’ve got three of those right here. Just to be safe. I love it. The other third, you know, we had to convince them, uh, we had to show her what I would tell her. Is it going to be the same? Uh, you know, how does it work? Um, and can I grab the download anything? Am I going to be able to figure it out without you there? And I’m like, it totally, totally accessible. They link, I send you go, I’ll go. Wait. The other, I was going to say the other third is just home masturbating. No, but I don’t know how it is for you guys. Like with me, it’s like I get into a mindset, I get to the studio, you have a couple of beers and a shot of snaps. You kind of have the intro and you kind of get, you know, you turn the head backwards and it’s over the top, you know? And like here it’s like, I’m half asleep on the chair and all of a sudden I was like, my phone feeds, I’m like, shit, it’s quarter to nine, you know? Then I’m like, I gotta like get all fired up again. And now it’s like, Hey, you don’t try to act like I’m all into it. But when in fact I kinda, you know, it’s, it’s a different thing. Do you want it from, I’m doing it from your chair that you’ve been in all day, you know, of course. And that’s part of our selling point. That’s part of the thing that, you know, we noticed with you guys when it becomes like a destination, it’s so much better than doing it from your basement. Oh yeah. Who wants that go someplace where you’re going to be jazzed to be, you know, go someplace that has this really, really cool ambience. Well, let me, you guys actually do, you’ve got ambiance. Yeah. I mean, David, not withstanding, you turn around and there’s every liquor in the hedge. Annabelle. Well, it’s here. Let me, I’ll give you the, uh, I’ll give you the wide angle view. Hold on. Oh, please. Oh my God. Holy Christ. All right, so dare yarn. I have my, uh, my scotch shelf. I have my, uh, you know, my star Wars Tiki glasses up there. So damn impressive. I mean, I say we all go over to David’s house and podcast from down there, but the whole thing, Bob, it’s, it’s, you gotta get the hell out of your chair. And that’s why a lot of people like, what, what do I buy to do this at home? I’m like, you’re making a mistake. Come in and do it. It’s no Moss. It’s no fuss. Your good to go. No. And that’s the dynamic between Dave and I. It goes something like this. He goes, if I have 10 bottles of liquor, he’s got to have 20 and when he has 20 I’m going to have 31 I have 30 he’s got to have 40 right. So it got to the point where he comes over at my Christmas party, sees my liquor cabinet. He says, goddammit, he goes out shopping. That’s like if you want him to up more liquor, just make me happy. This is Bob’s pleaser booze is what that actually is the tense Nicolas cage and leaving Las Vegas where he’s, I’m not saying that’s never happened before, but no, I mean it might migrate. You were just saying, I mean that’s totally a thing. I mean that’s, you know like when we like, cause we do like when we do our, like, you know, podcasting talks at cons and all that kind of stuff. The first thing we always tell people is look, at the end of the day, you don’t need us. Like you, you absolutely can go out and you know, buy a Mike, do your lap, you know, plugging in your laptop, do your thing and go, you totally can. But then I always followed up with, look, you know what, like our biggest area of growth over the last three years has been exactly that. Like people that have been recording at home or they’ve been recording someplace else and then one of a couple things happen. They’re either ready for it to be easier on them, uh, or they’re ready for it to start sounding better or they’re ready to start having guests and they don’t want their guests in their living room. And so, I mean that’s the other part of it. Cause like to us, like when we, like we talked about it, when we decided it was time to leave the place that we were recording originally, you know, do we just buy the gear and put it in Bob’s house or my house or whatever else. And what we realized is like, so that that Monday night, nine o’clock became like religion as Bob always says that it was, you know, what come hell or high water Monday night, 9:00 PM your ass asses in that seat, the light, the, you know, the Mike likes getting hit and off you go and you’re, and, and you’re there. If we had put it like in his house or my house, that would have been a little me. I don’t want to do it this week. I don’t want to, you know, it’s just going to your house. It’s just coming in. Yeah, let’s, whatever. Um, but like going to the studio, it’s, it’s part of that, I think it’s, I think it’s a thing of, of people that kind of get serious about it to some degree it’s a ritual, right? And that whole thing is having those people who, who have that drive to do it and you know, God bless him, we found them. You found them. Obviously you guys are two ahead and two years ahead of Arker. So I mean, and we’re not looking to flatten the curve. We’re not we, let’s be clear. We are not, I want to widen it out. Well no, I think that, go ahead. I was going to say it kinda sucks cause Ming Ming had this sweet um, studio set up down in Asbury park. Gorgeous. That was so great. And we can’t go there. No one can go there. It sucks. And yeah, they should time that everything wasn’t matter. Go down the whole boardwalk. I know. Yeah. By the time that they opened the boardwalk, they’re going to be like, all right, get the hell out. Right. Do they have a bam Bigelow statue out there? Cause I was like the home of Asbury park, man. It’s a homo Fitbit, you know, and maybe we need to spearhead that. You know, if you want to see something done, do it yourself. I was going to say I made one out of marshmallows but the seagulls just messed it up. It’ll be like the Robocop statue in Detroit. Bob, let’s let you, we’ll get Micah [inaudible] with all the flames and shit on it like, and then we’ll just tell people, I’ll just stand there for like eight hours out of the day. They have, they have the hoodie. I can also have bumps like piss on my feet. I mean food, all the statutes in Asbury park. Anyway, so I just, since you mentioned Schatz than it is you guys, traditions are what they are made myself, I poured myself a shout at AIG from Donna whiskey in the jar. I took a trip out, I left mine at the studio. Ah, but, and the bottle of Malort that you gave me, that’s it’s probably for the best. You forgot that there warding off evil spirits. Absolutely. Trying to get a bottle there. The Lord has done, they’ve done a barrel aged Malora. I don’t know if you guys have seen it. You’re in barrels. I was like, yeah, what kind of barrel or the aging Malort in which uh, you know, should make it taste better, which is not what we want. So I’m trying to get a bottle that is very limited and there’ll be like anus, anus aged would taste much better than like anything to kill a taste and I you always ask why I quit drinking. This is it right here. Malort is the reason why. Wow. You many bottles too, which I didn’t know you have to get them at the distillery, but they do many bottles of Malora, which we need to get on that. We need to take a trip to Chicago and just load up. That’s where I get all my German crabs because they don’t carry it in Michigan. So every time I go see family in Chicago, it’s like half a trunk full of all that weird ass caraway seeds snobs and raspberry snacks. I love that stuff. I love that. Flanagan’s ragged, honest. He’s like, Oh yeah, this, I’m loving how this episode is. Hey, you remember that one time? That was great. Shut up Jamie. What are you guys watching these days? Like we’re binge in a, we just caught a Newton. I just got a new bitch this weekend. Have you caught me millions yet? Finished that awhile ago. So good. Good shit. I have not. So that’s next on my list. That’s right. You love, you love the monopoly game. Yeah. You love scams. So well it is and it’s fascinating how cause I mean, yeah, I mean, and they were right like you like that last episode cause it, you know, the, the investigation and all that stuff, all like the arrest and everything in that took place literally the week before nine 11. And that’s why like, cause I do, I like thinking back like that was a huge story. Huge story. And then it just kind of vanished and everybody collectively forgot about it because of the timing. So we started, uh, we started season one, episode one of Ozark, um, on Thursday. And right now we’re at a season three, episode six. So for as much as I would like to thank Walter White for teaching me how to cook meth, I was like fake Marty bird for teaching me how to launder money. I feel like because of it. You’re well rounded Bob. Yeah. But it’s like what? Uh, you know, it’s like those shows, it’s hilarious. He’s like, let’s do breaking bad. And uh, I think shameless is kind of funny. So let’s kind of do a, but like make it a different topic and let’s just put them together and make a show. Well, I mean that’s technology. It’s Uber, but for this, okay, so this is breaking bad, but this is totally how they make shows these days. And I mean, but I mean the writing’s brilliant. It’s like literally we’re sitting up at three 30 in the morning. I’m like Friday night while he was like, God damn it, putting another one out, go to bed at like four 35 in the morning, like all weekend and now we have to go back to work. You know, cause you know, she’s at the hospital and luckily I’m still working and it’s like are, you know, trying to get back into a normal schedules and say, dude, I thought, I thought my 10 year old had a slat of screwed up sleep patterns. Mine is so jacked up. My kids are going to bed at 600 morning. Yeah. Ah, I dunno. Are you guys on a normal schedule or what are you guys doing? I wake up at like three o’clock in the morning and I hear my, uh, my oldest screaming at, you know, his, uh, his friends he’s online gaming with. He’s like, yeah, I will end you. I’m like, from, I was going to say, so it’s Bob, it’s not that bad. I’m playing battlefield five and I’m like, I’m microphone less now. I’m not, I refused. I, I yelled one sounded a little kid about how I can buy his house and bang his mom and, uh, I, I threw away my grown at a PA. I go, yeah, that’s awesome. Yeah, no, I, a time does not exist here. I bet. Yeah. Four or five like watching the sign up, but, um, I, I think I get more done that late at night though. There’s no one to bug you. It’s great. Oh, I’m a total night all on the same way. But it is, I mean, yeah, if it weren’t for you, it’s Monday, so it’s show day. That’s like, that’s the reason why I know it’s Monday. Uh, you know, like yesterday. Okay. All the Easter memes floating around. Okay. Easter Sunday. Cool. That, that, that’s that. Yeah. They’re like mid week I’m going to be like, okay, is it, is it Wednesday? Is it Friday? Is it like where blurs day? Yeah. I swear to God, go like it’s March 97. That’s all I know. That’s, yeah. At this point in my life I’ve never gotten, I’ve never seen more memes and I’ve never seen more naked black men’s wieners than I have this week. I swear to God and to me, and that’s been going around, I was like, you better clarify that quickly, Bob. We met on a chocolate chip cookie. Oh my God. There it is. Oh my God. Zoom in on this. Oh my God. There it is. Look in the fog. Like there’s a tornado that hit. Oh my God. There it is. It’s like the where’s Waldo? Like where did, like where did that come from? Like I’m completely clueless. Like Rob hasn’t had this much sex and she was a a boy scout leader. Yeah, exactly. Oh, there’s a no, there’s a, um, there was a vice story that came out about this guy that it was hard up and he started, he did like a corn. I don’t know if it was whatever, whichever kind of porn, but you know, you ever seen the movie hall pass where the one guy helped for sure when he passes out in the jacuzzi and it’s like down to his knees. I don’t know if it’s the same guy or somebody definitely. But like apparently now someone decided to be funny to try to sneak it into every picture they could. And so like it’s like anytime you get your buddies to look at a, I guess another man’s a winner. It’s a, it’s a win in your room. Nice. Hey, so we’ve got a bath to chime in. You know Beth Mosley, she comes to our events and she said, yeah, she started shutting off the internet at night last night. Her 14 year old went into convulsions and threatened to move out. Yeah, I know when right there. Yeah. That could also get you killed in your sleep as well. So Beth, be careful. We’re at a minimum, a CPS call. I mean that’s, you know the argument, Mike, I’m like the same situation as you. My daughter’s screaming at like four in the morning or like, cause she woke up, her modernize is going to work at it cause you just woke up your mother and she’s like arguing with me that it’s okay. I’m like, I’m not telling you to get off the phone. I’m telling you not to yell. I’m like, I didn’t realize this was like, this is where we’re at is a bad phone etiquette for God sake. Phone etiquette. A four in the morning. All right. Unless you’re, you’re texting somebody, some explicit pictures and therefore adding to their buddies. There’s no screaming, right? No, but they’re gaming and they got their headsets on. They don’t realize how loud they are. You know, it’s like me and normal by my daughter got my voice. So she’s drama. I’m like literally in drama and she knows how to project your voice worse than me. Um, so it’s like, which, which is saying something. Yeah, I can’t get too mad because I’m like, yeah, that’s my, I recognize that. I came by it honestly. Yeah, it’s a, it’s okay. Bad thought. So back in the days of dialogue, um, I would have to run a phone cord from my parent’s bedroom into mine for the 2,400 baud modem and a, well my parents thought it was time to go to bed. They would unplug it from their bed and I would see like those weird characters. Oh, absolutely interrupted. And I was like, looks like I just wanted to take another 10 minutes to download that boob picture. That’s, that’s all I need it using it like concatenating like my brother, the multi-part files and NTP man. Yup. You still haven’t asked you for me collection going here. It’s, Oh, of course. Well why would I throw that out? And you know, I mean it’s, it’s vintage now. It’s, it’s our teasel. It’s, it’s like a hard drive that’s has like weighty stink lines coming off of it. I have vivid memories of my buddy’s basement. We were maybe 13 at the time and he had like a 1200 block of modem and the whole thing, it would take like a half an hour for the thing that’s just to download, but you couldn’t look at it close up because it didn’t make any sense. What if you went to the other side of the basement? It was crystal clear how you would look at a boob. It was like literally probably like 30 yards away. I’ll extend a phase where like I think I can see Bob’s dating life in high school was so weird. He would get a girl shirts off and then like walk to the other side of the room just to make sure he was seeing what he needed to see. I was here like, no, not really. I just want to talk to him. Yeah, but gimme a minute. Why don’t you like watching scrambled Cinemax? That was a thing. If you could, if you could make out a nipple and all that mess. Wow. I thought that exactly. I thought the nipple was way closer to the elbow for some reason. I had no idea. Desperate times, Jen, ladies and gentlemen, desperate time, which I mean we’re, we’re kind of in right now. I mean, that’s, you know, you look at, uh, I mean, I know, I mean, not that it’s funny, but I know several people that are trapped in relationships that they were planning on getting out of a, and then this happened and it keeps getting extended and they’re not, um, you know, you’ve got people that, I mean, like, it’s not, you know, I’ve got my kids and all that stuff and you need it. But like, I like being trapped alone has got to be the absolute worst right now. Like that, that to me would be like the most mind numbing. Just, Oh my God, what the hell am I doing with my life experience? What if you had all the money in the world and you could do whatever the hell you wanted that would end you. You were at peace with yourself, which I don’t think there’s an American on the planet right now that can, that could probably stand a month or two that we’re going to be locked up together and locked up. Yeah. Nobody, nobody takes that time. Nobody takes that, you know, all I’ve got an hour and I’m just going to be, yup. Well that’s why I’m loving the meme that’s floating around now. That’s like, yeah. You all, you people that were sharing those memes about how you would totally, you know, spend a month in a cabin in the woods with no internet, no anything for $100,000. Yeah. No, you couldn’t even make five days to save your own grandmother kiss my ass, you know? Yeah, exactly. No, it’s the other meme that goes, yeah, I definitely have time for that. As it turns out, I do have time for that. Yeah. He knows that I’m sick. I envision, um, like the, as John Q sec and high fidelity where he goes through his comic collection and it’s like, is it alphabetical or is it chronological and no, it’s organized by when I acquired it. Right. I think that then you’re like, Oh, wow. To be honest with you, Bob, I lost most of them. It was all in big chunks because I got them after Sandy again. But, um, I, my comics are a mess right now, even in the studio, which is where the bulk of my library is. It’s, I still have to go in there for like three hours and just go through them. Oh my God. I’ve had so much free time. I managed to clean out both my email inbox and the folder I had labeled old inbox. How about the spam? How far ma’am? I just have to that one automatically or did that date back? Uh, three years. That’s a long time. Ooh. You know, like, I forgot that you lost your shit at Santen in the hurricane. Yeah. So I’m in like a new house right now. I’m like, God, no, I’m learning like all the, the uh, the quaint, charming things about my house. Like which steps squeaks now that I’m trapped in it. Yeah, exactly. It’s like, Holy crap. That’s the dumbest thing that mu, that stupid be quiet movie with, uh, with John Krasinski, what does it call it? A quiet place. Quiet place. And they like painted the spots on the, on the, on the steps. So they, they step on that spot. Like, why don’t they just carpet it with rubber, like rubber met carpet. Then it’s quiet. Like they gotta put the paint on it. So I’m in the right, like seriously. We’ve talked about it last week. That movie couldn’t have been stupid or I’m like, okay, if it’s quiet behind the waterfall, why don’t you just build like 30 waterfalls or Roger joint and then you could talk in the goddamn house. Why don’t you just live behind the waterfall? Just do that. Move in there. Why not on it? We have like 40 towers on am radio going all day. So it’s like, and you instead, you gotta got some electrical studio in your basement. But I do. David does. Ming does rant. Where are you right now? Uh, where am I in the front room? Randy’s not a hard question. I’m not hitting you with the zingers yet. Oh yeah. This is the first white cloth. Forgive them. Okay. All right. We’ll wait. Just get a gets on his face for sure. I am so Baba. I, and a lot of people are shocked by this. I had never seen the office before, so I never ever, I didn’t see it when I didn’t really watch network TV, I guess the last like 15 years. Um, so I never tuned into it when I was on NBC and then I guess when it hit streaming, I just never got a chance to, to watch it. And um, yeah, for some reason it was like three in the morning, a couple of weeks ago and I was like, Oh, I’ll check this out. Everyone says it’s funny. And I was like, Oh, they were right. Like it’s still, it’s, it’s amazing. I um, yeah, it’s better late than never. I’m, I’m kinda glad to be discovering it now where I have like, you know, a month or so to get through all of them. I’m in the same boat as you. I never watched the parks and rec, all the, all the Ron Swanson things were just way over. I didn’t know. I’m like, I don’t get it. Like, so now I just started watching. I’ve been done with the first season of parks and rec. Yeah. I’m in the same boat. Like, where’s this show been all my life? Well, 2011, a HBO just added a whole bunch of content to Hulu. Um, and I think a couple of other services that now have access to that. I believe it’s all the HBO max content that’s coming out. But I’m floored by all the people on my friends list and I’m like, Oh my God, I just started watching the Sopranos. This is the best show ever. I’m like, where have you been? Like what? What’s wrong with you that you never watched this show? Wait until they get the Deadwood. Got ya. Netflix originals that are in foreign languages. So like I watched three seasons of the protector, which is in Turkish and I’ve watched a Ragnar rock, which is in Norwegian. What the hell are those? Why are you in someone’s bedroom closet right now? Are you watching them on dress blink twice if you’re under duress? Have you seen, have you guys seen there’s a, it’s a Russian of the Russian Avengers. We’re like, there’s like, instead of the raccoon, there’s like an eight foot bear. Um, no, there’s a guy that worked at, seen it in dubbed in English. I haven’t been able to catch a copy of it, but it looks like as good as the Avengers is, but it’s like the version where all the people are like, is it called the Soviet super soldiers? No. No. Um, if I find the trailer I’ll, I’ll email or I’ll send it to me. Yeah. You guys watch community yet? No, that was another one, right? Oh man. Go on Hulu. Go on Netflix. Okay. David, did you watch it? That’s one of those ones where I think I got a couple episodes in and went mad and got distracted by other stuff. Yeah, I was not going to go all the way through. You don’t even have to stick with it for a very long, oddly enough, I trust your judgment. Everybody. Everybody in it holds their own. I think it’s amazing. I just want to see the one episode where chow goes, huh? That’s all you need. Once I find that part, there are a couple, there were like four or five of them. Wasn’t Chevy chase in it though too. Chevy Jay’s was in it and he’s, they write him, so he lampoons himself. So a spectacular Dan Harmon is a genius. Interesting. All right. Yeah. So yeah, he, you watch it and uh, he’s, he plays, uh, not a, not even a retiree, just a community college. One of the old guys at the community college who still thinks he’s relevant but he’s not, and it’s just, um, it’s amazing cause he doesn’t even realize what’s going on in real life in real life. Doesn’t realize that he’s playing short of himself, which I think is, it’s great. He’s the one that fell up. Like if you ever saw the roast of him, like he gets like visibly pissed off and it’s like, I don’t know, you don’t get the joke. Like everyone else gets roasted, pisses their pants laughing and like they had to like stop telling jokes on him because he was so like getting angry. I’m like, dude, what happened to you man? Like it, which kind of defeats the purpose I think. Yeah. Why did you agree to this Chevy? Did you not understand what a Rose did? I just thought I was going to be treated like a God. I didn’t understand. This is going to be a thing. I think it’s different if you’re like Rob Lowe or Tommy Lee where it’s like you had your Dick so big, you know, low, you could open the door to like ha ha cause it’s awesome. Or you know, you bagged every girl in Hollywood, Rob Lowe. Like ah, that’s awesome. But like Bob, I found your movie, which called guardians. That’s it. That’s it. No galaxy, nothing. Just guardians. Yeah, it looks seriously. I need to watch the whole thing. The trailer will blow your mind. How freaking awesome it is. I’m like literally the bears carrying two huge gallon guns. It’s totally, Oh, that’s cool. Randy, you’re awesome. Thanks. That’s what I do. He has his moment and it was a release in the U S on a by shelf factory. So it looks like you may be able to find it somewhere. Oh man, this looks cool. Speak on shout factory. Um, I have a store. I got to go to the, uh, before, before quarantine hit, uh, I got to go to the mystery science theater, a live show, the, the big cheesy nice. It was great. And, uh, they came into the stash, all the puppeteers Nate beagle, um, and, and, and the rest, uh, they all came in and, uh, Nate’s the only one whose name I remember off the top, but that’s okay. They need backstage. He’s, uh, he was CRO, he’s pro robot. Oh, cool. Um, I went and it was, it was fantastic, but, um, we were talking about bad movies and we were throwing stuff back and forth at each other and, uh, damn it, I should, uh, pull it up on my TV on my, uh, Amazon’s, uh, it’s a Canadian movie. That’s so Star-Spangled awesome. I’ll get it to you before the end of the show. It is awful. And there are a couple of movies that, uh, I was gonna recommend for you guys. Um, there’s actually Canadian movies. I know there are Canadian movies. I go figure, I mean, not feel, didn’t Vancouver, I get that, which looks like no place. Canadian bacon. Uh, yeah, but that’s about as close. Yeah. No, honestly, like the, the biggest thing I’ve been watching is it, cause I went back and rewatched it before the new season hit was Westworld. Um, and I’m, I’m still like Westworld season one fricking amazing season two. What are you doing? Season three, they’re getting back on track and I’m happy with it. Um, and I think there’s like, uh, I say I haven’t watched the last 19th, so there’s four. Um, but yeah, no add. I’m curious to see where they’re going to go with it like that. That’s just a phenomenal show to me. This season’s weird. Yeah, it is. But I mean it’s, it’s, it’s getting more back to season one from a, from a thematic thing and more than anything else. What, uh, what show did I binge? Where like they went back in time and it was like, actually it was 70s and year when like Westworld lost me when I didn’t know actually when the hell it was. Oh, I remember, I remember talking about that with you where like when they like, cause when they were running the dual timelines and it was okay, that’s young, old William and the man in black and all that stuff. Um, yeah you were, you were not Amir used. No I don’t, you know one thing it’d be, you know Terminator time sequence. Fine. I can deal with that. Yeah. Even though the, the, the entire premise is flawed but yeah. So you can deal with it. Yeah. Did we ever talk, we do argue about the, with you guys, I’m sure we have not. What’s your take, what’s your take on Terminator time? Like cause it’s like how do you send back your buddy to beg your mom to like save you like none of that. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Well when you find out that your buddy is your pops, you have to send them back. Well but how does that work? Cause cause you have to get to the future in order for him to be sent back. But, but how does it get to the future timeline if he’s not there already to knock her up and then be there? No, that’s, that’s the chicken and the egg, right? Yeah. Well he had to be born, let’s say in 2027 and he’s got to go back to 1992 to bang his mom. 84 though that I’m talking to that one. Okay. He’s got to go back to 84 yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Cause he was dead by 92 so got to go. He wasn’t even born yet. So it doesn’t matter. He’s, he’s buried in paupers feet. So yeah, that’s what I mean. I mean it’s like, so where like where like in the original timeline, like not even the whole loop back, but like that’s the thing and the original timeline. How does John Connor come to be John Connor comes to be because it’s predestined that he’s got of saying, Oh, so now she’s the Virgin Mary. She’s not, no, she’s not a Virgin. I saw the footage, but he’s got to send his father back and that’s how weird is that? Like your best, imagine your best friend. You’re sitting there like back in and yeah, you’re, you’re Devin in your parents’ basement and you’re like, Hey, wait a minute. And you find that diary and you’re like, Oh crap. You know, I gotta send this guy back so he can bang my mom who will lesson and not changing history from mr. I’m my own grandpa. Thank you. Future Raba yeah. Boy, bill and Ted’s thing. It’s like, Oh man, we forgot the key. It’s like, Oh, I’ll just get him later and I’ll go back in time and put them here. Just gotta remember to grab the keys? Yeah. Well, the Terminator thing, it was broke. That’s why they couldn’t send back at that time. 30,000 terminators. Why don’t you just go back to the wild, wild West? We didn’t have people with like guns. I just shoot him without arrows and he’s like, I’m metal. And he would have ended up killing, you know, killing her way back then. Right. But if you go back far enough, then Skynet wouldn’t have been developed to evolve into the system. Does God know you’ve got like internal, um, [inaudible] doesn’t need satellite crap being Mike August sends his regards. Oh man. August when we said hello, you miss you, we missed watching. We missed baseball. We miss you and everything you love. That’s what we miss. Well except politics cause this is a hijacking your jukebox. Don’t we all? I think we all did that. I know we have not hijacked and touched your machine in weeks. Dude. I literally almost said I almost bought one like a couple weeks ago. Like I like just, just to have it in my basement cause I just, I probably wouldn’t even ever like use it, but I just want to have it just so that I know I could if I wanted to. All that I made fun of. I’m online. So this he posted on Facebook and we saw it. He’s like the one guy who like you. This is the weirdest thing. We talk about like buying, like I buy my music from Amazon, like actual, you know, so I have hard copies of my music. Um, Dave, like I don’t pay for music. I’m like, I get the X, we all got to hoodwink Y let me, here’s the thing. No, let me finish. Then you can read what all you want. And I’m not rebutting. I’m giving the why because the music industry lied to me when the CD came out. The music industry promised me that music would be cheaper, albums would get cheaper, things would get better and they would last forever. What’s happened? The CDs don’t last forever. They wear out the prices of albums keep going up. Why? Because you spend 500 bajillion dollars a year trying to convince me that I need to love Amy Winehouse. I ma, I don’t. If I do, I do. If I don’t, I don’t shut up. Take that $500 million, save it and lower the cost of my music and I’m good. So, so instead of, I don’t want to pay for music, you put $20 in a jukebox priority, plays everything. So then he sometimes puts $40 in so, so I don’t get to play anything cause he wants to play all these shit first. Right now. He wants to put one of these in his basement because he thinks it’s fun to fight with other people and he’ll priority play over cause he owns the goddamn thing. I just thought it would be fun to have one Bob. That’s what’s called, it’s a Bluetooth speaker like at my house, at my parties. Everyone fights over Bluetooth supremacy. You hook it up to your Alexa. Yeah. You’re hooking up your Alexa and then we all scream at it cause there’s no voice recognition. $40 is spending is not for music. It’s the Buster balls and that’s a small price to pay. Wait, I’m still not paying for the music. I’m, I’m paying for the look on Bob’s face. See honey, hold on. It’s funny when the guy at the pool table playing Metallica and you play something stupid like Richard cheese or like fart, the 10 and a half minute version of Chuck man Gian. Yeah. Comedy is you following into an open sewer hall and choking on human waste while you die. Tragedy is me getting a paper cut on my little finger. It’s only funny when you hear some guy in the back on, there was nothing funny or you guys, I don’t know you, you don’t, the phones don’t do this no more. But the old Samsung’s you could put in a TV remote control. I still have that phone just to carry as old burner phone and turn off all the TVs and the redneck bars like dirt, like NASCAR races and like Keno and shit. The last number would pull up. Her Keenan be able would walk to take a piss and turn off all the TV people go nuts. Like literally we almost got this plate giggling like little and by us he means him ever want to win money, play poker with Bob because anyway, Hey, are you guys watching? Or I’m like, well dude, what are you talking about? I don’t know. And Bob’s over like a Japanese school girl. If you’re not laughing, there’s a really funny boy you’re going to hell for that day by the way. I’m okay. That’s that. I mean it was, it was worth every moment. It was. It absolutely was good company, man. Don’t worry about it. Exactly. It’s where all the fun people are. Some of my friends are going to be, what the hell do I want to go to heaven for? So I guess no, go ahead Bob. No, I said we’ve been, we’ve been sure sched at bars. Like I don’t get that. Like when you’re in a loud bar with music blaring, like literally we’ve been shushed and I can’t quite understand what it is that we’ve done or do to like necessity to having a grown man walk over and tell us to keep it down. Bob, this gets back to the, your daughter inherited your boy, your big booming voice, your know how to project it. That’s what that gets down to. Sometimes you forget how to not project it right now. I know when I feel like opera man’s singing it just said, yeah, forget it. It’s all over. Yeah. What part are you getting shushed at? Cause I remind me to never go there. It was Salinas dude. We’ve gotten shushed at, I think that might’ve been two owners ago though. So I think they’ve gotten used to us by now. I, uh, I had my, uh, my buddies golf outing. Um, we, uh, went to the Hamlin pub, which is, there’s like seven, eight of them and it’s just like a corner of golf bar, whatever, you know, pizza, whatever. It’s simple. And like we’re done with a golf outing and we go back there and I’m telling stories and the guy’s just me and I’m like, I’m freaked out. I’m like, Oh man, like the manager. And I go, Oh my God, was I like swearing. I’m sorry. There are kids around. He goes, Oh no, you weren’t swearing. You’re being very polite. You’re just so loud. And I’m like, what? Like that’s when you, that’s when you start cursing like what is wrong with you? You pieces go to town on him. By the way, I’m going to tell a story real quick. Today is the seventh anniversary, by the way. It’s my buddy Twillio his birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to seven. So you gotta hear this story seven years ago. It’s Toyota’s 40th birthday and we go to just, he want us to keep it simple, go to a bar by his house and we might argue, well in the meantime Tulio sister knows a, there’s a, there’s a Italian wedding hall here called pennants. There’s a couple of and Tulio sisters friends with the doc. Can you figure this out? Well, there’s a, there’s a hell of a flowchart here. They’re filming a flavor flavor opened up a flavor flavor chicken and ribs here and they were filming seasonal glove too or whatever the hell have you show. It was flavor, flavors. Love, flavor of law. Labor of love. Yeah. And Tulio sister calls me and she goes, they’re filming an episode tonight and they want the house full because they want it to look cool. Can you bring to Leo’s party? So here I am at this pool hall and I’m trying to hide the secret from him. And basically it comes, I go 10 o’clock and I’m basically telling everyone we’re leaving and he’s like, he’s like pushing me like we’re not leaving. What do we leave? I go, we’re leaving. I don’t get in. Like I go grab him by the gay ankles that we have. We’re getting out of here. So we pull up in this house, I’ll, I’ll send you guys a picture. We walk in this house and all the way in the back by like the pool table and like the little like three seat bar. There’s flavor flave back there with a, with a chocolate Stockton with barbecue sauce, put chicken wings in there. What’s up solver’s entire night goes and all he’s doing is walking around and he’s the most nicest calm. He’s like, he’s like polite, like Ming. Like when he walks around he’s like, hi, how are you? Shaking hands, just being nice. And like then all of a sudden when it’s time for him to, yeah, when the cameras, the lights come on and the camera turns on, he gets up on the table and he’s like, he’s doing his whole shtick and we’re just like, this is the most surreal night I’ve ever like. And the best thing is we got a picture of Twilio’s mother who was like, Oh your old Italian and him. They were talking for like 20 minutes. And I go, what in the living S is your mother Rose to one? Could she be possibly saying like remember that one time a nation of millions when you were the height bands that shocked you, what could she be saying? Where do you buy your clocks? They’re so fascinating. That’s I want to get one from my wall. Yeah, that clock would look great. My kitchen. Um, but like literally there’s nothing that we can’t want up in [inaudible]. That’s it. Like all of our birthday parties for the rest of our lives. Like literally that was it. Oh yeah. How can you top that dude? I think only one that ever even would and just cause there were no celebrity appearances, but what even come close would be our joint 40th where the German American club and the, the giant fat head of your head was floating around all night and was hands down the, the prop that we had wrestlers show up, the Jaeger shot girls were behind the bar and that’s still the party that people ask me when we’re doing that again, see the problem mad those days. That’s when my Christmas party in those days where I was stupid and every time I’d see somebody I acted like my dad and my uncles and you’d do a shot like, Hey Randy, good to see ya. Let’s do a shot, have a good time. The problem is 20 people would show up and I’m doing 20 shots and they’ve only had one cause he was bugs bunny one for you. One for me. Two for you. One, two for me. Three of you. One, two, three. For me they’d be like a pile of money on tables that, guess what I’m going to, is that, is that the goblet? Ah, now he’s definitely, so like I would make from the beginning. That’s no good memories. Nothing beats the story. When you guys got the package and you’re like, who the hell shipped something to the podcast? Who is awesome parties going on? This party is going on. I’ve done 20 shots, I’m passed out like 10 15 people got there like nine 30 so like this isn’t happening. So like Dave got this, it’s like when fat was a first thing and he got like my fricking big ugly mug on a fat head. So like everyone like carried on the night, like as if it was, the party was still going on with my pick my fat head. We got in everybody’s picture. So there’s, there’s literally like 60 pictures of people. Oh dude. And you’ve got like the hottest girls in the skimpiest outfits with Bob’s big giant fat hat. I mean it was a good four feet tall, three feet wide. I want to say it, but it was huge. It was holding various [inaudible] but then the worst part is like Rob Bubba who uh, you know, yeah, he, he thought it was the funniest thing he’s ever seen in his life. So he like just watching him like giggling with that thing like yeah, dude. Knowing how happy that made him is still one of the best things ever. So, I guess just to shift gears a little bit. So Ming like I know you are probably the only person that I know that has ha that is likely having a harder time with social distancing than I am. Cause you’re, I mean you’re dude, you’re at every con, you’re at every event, you are everywhere. How are you holding up man? Like I really, really feel that he is your latte game strong? I guess that’s what we want to know. Yeah. How well have you gotten making your own espressos and lattes? Surprisingly, I’m doing all right. Everyone’s like, Oh man, are you okay? Like you must be going nuts. And um, it’s uh, I mean before all the comics, before all the traveling, I, this is me sitting at a computer for like, you know, 20 hours a day and, and doing shit. So it does take me back to that. Um, you know, am I, am I going a little nuts? Yeah. I, you know, I had trips to Vegas. Here’s the city last month. This month was like Philly and st Louis and next month was going to be real busy. It was going to be like Northern Canada, um, LA Houston, and you know, it’s all gone. And you know, it sucks, but it’s, it’s everybody. Well, and, and you’ll like, you’ll appreciate this cause you were there with us. Larry, the bartender from a temple bar called me last week just to, uh, just to check up on me and make sure that I was okay to picture your bar and you’re like, all right, I’m good, Larry. I’m, I’m doing all right man. I love that guy. And I, yeah. And so, I mean, it’s, it’s things, but, um, it’s, it’s not bad sitting here for a little bit, taking a breath and, um, and you know, we, we have this, we have, uh, you know, I, I, I’ve been streaming like almost every night. It’s, it’s, that’s definitely keeping me sane. I was gonna say, and you too, and you’ve taken a dive into a couple of, like, the virtual cons that are going on and that kind of stuff I’ve seen, you know, you’ve done a couple of panels and that kind of thing. Yeah. And I, I didn’t think that would work. A lot of people were like, well, we’ll just move them online. I’m like, well how the hell is that going to work? You know, the con imparting afterwards and meeting people and, and all that. But um, uh, yeah, you know when, when times get desperate and you figure it out. So yeah, I just did one this weekend. Go home con. Yup. It was put together in less than two weeks. Uh, but it, it went off. It went off really well. They somehow got a partnership with Twitch, so you know, all the streaming stuff was pretty rock solid. Um, everybody called their friends in all their celebrity friends and so they got a lot of, um, good celebrities. So the way they made money was a, if you wanted to watch the panel stream, it was five bucks a person on Twitch or if you had a Twitch prime account, it was free. So, and then the talent, the celebrities were booking five minute one-on-one zoom sessions where people for, I think it was 50 bucks for five minutes. That’s kind of cool. Yeah. If you want a 10 minutes, you can add on another $50 and I’m dancing. I was like, yeah, like I, I imagine a couple of those might’ve gotten creepy and needed to get shut down law for five minutes. Oh, I know. I saw it as, Hey, it’s it going to take longer than men. I mean, are there some guys, you know what business is probably doing well right now? The a they’ll leave a voicemail or to leave a video greeting cameo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you know, Mark got us that thing for our grand master flash, uh, where you can like make them say whatever. It’s like, I, you know, cause I saw it being on Facebook for like Kevin Nealon to give you like to that the idiot, the, the business partner guy that came in at the end, a tiger King is on there. They’re all on there. The whole cast is on God licensing jail. Hey, Bob, uh, Patrick chimed in on the chat. He a pet Mendez. He wants to know, uh, w where’s the fat head now? So I remember it got used as a fans bring the weapon match weapon. So that was the best. It wound up in there and wound up in a wrestling ring with Sabu. Sabu got hit over the head with it. I believe there’s a speck of blood on it. It is in the Bay. It’s right now. It’s in the basement. Okay. That’s sad. But he’s a nice guy. But, uh, that’s my cameo profile right there on the low low price of 2020, 99. You can, uh, book a video message from [inaudible]. Nice. So I, I was, I think it was a con or something and they’re like, Hey, you want to jump on this? I’m like, yeah, sure. Why not? Like, no one’s gonna want me like fricking Brett farm’s on there. And, uh, you know how you could get a, um, get Debbie Gibson to sing happy birthday eating for 200 bucks. I’m like, no one’s gonna want me once. Every so often I’ll get one. And, um, I think I did one, they were going to play it out their wedding. I saw you posted about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a whole bunch of birthday ones and uh, yeah, the people have been getting them. They’re like, Oh my God, that was awesome. Like thank you so much and not your 20 bucks, you know, it’s not that bad. So, so, uh, yeah, it’s, it’s, I did it as a joke though. I’m like, no one’s gonna want this. Right. And then, you know, Hey, desperate, Augie shot us a note. He wants to know how much to get you two guys to leave his voicemail message. Hi, 22. Great. We’re doing anything for 40 bucks right now. Have Augie send a Ming his little Malort bottles. We’ll do it for, we’ll work something out aiming. So how many bars does, uh, does it say a Mike [inaudible] eats ass? Probably too many. There’s a, I think Selena’s um, a whiskey in the jar for sure. Did you write it? Whiskey? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. No, it’s there. I’ve, yeah. Spreading my legend far and wide. What’s the karaoke bar in Hamtramck that Lauren worked, worked at that plays [inaudible] took it down cause she doesn’t want anybody knowing. So Lauren grabbed my Sharpie, she’s like, Oh, I gotta go write this. And so it’s in the ladies room over there. Here’s the problem, man. When you write it in a men’s room, you’re giving those guys, you go in there false hope. I did above the glory. I’m like, I’m just saying Randy walks in there and make certain assumptions. Pretty sure a drunk Lee wrote it down over at um, over at Lafayette Coney Island too, whenever as I was throwing up in the bathroom. Oh Jesus. You know, I’m guessing next time might give you the needs to be a tee shirt. I think we’d have to figure something out like, or a bumper sticker or, or something. Um, uh, you know, getting, you know, making that a thing. I think there should be a thing. Why not next time I’m in Detroit in ducks, right. We’ll, we’ll do that. So hang on. I guess that’s a, that’s a good question. I mean, I guess what’s, you know, Ming Mike, what’s, what’s your take on the other side of all of this? Like, are our cons gonna be the same or, you know, and how long is it going to, you know, like, you know, motor city just canceled and that’s, you know, that’s, that’s 70 K people there on a Saturday, you know, get, yeah, that’s from, from what I understand. Yes. They get it. Cause they haven’t announced it. They haven’t, they didn’t announce they were working on it. It just, it’s, it’s off for now. Um, you know, then you’ve got, you know, San Diego, New York city coming up. I mean the art winner, when are you going to get 200,000 odd people comfortable being in a big room. And then the flip side of that, when are you going to get these celebrities comfortable being jammed into a crowded 70,000, a hundred, 200,000 shaking hands with everybody. I must be going to be a while. I mean, this is all dependent. They find some kind of vaccine. Then I think we’ll be, you know, of course it will be a little more comfortable, but if they, you know, if it’s like this right now, it could be a while. I, I hate to say, I don’t know if they’re going to be cons for the rest of the year. I got concert, I got two concerts in July. Uh, KMF DM in ministry and craft work and I don’t know if I’ll be able to go, don’t know if you’re gonna get your money back, ticket master and be like, Nope, you’re screwed. So the, so Ticketmaster’s cause he had, this was actually one of the topics we’re going to yak through tonight, is Ticketmaster changed their policies where it used to say if it was postponed, canceled yet ADA outta there, you know, whatever, you get a refund now it only, they’ll only refund if it’s canceled. Well, you look at all these, you know, concerts that are going on, they’ve know, they know it’s just postponed until the literally a later date. So whether or not you can make that later date, you’re not getting your money back from Ticketmaster, but it’s a thing. Yeah. That’s all the cons. Yeah. I don’t, I mean what would make anybody comfortable enough to go to a, an event with a whole bunch of people. I don’t know if they find it vaccine. Sure. If they probably saw every taste today it’s a door. It’s like a copper thing to put on your key chain. It looks like this. Okay. It’s like the pull the door, pull the door knob down and like are, and then there’s a rubber like pen thing like per touch pad or the little metal. The little paper clip on the lighter though. That’s the other one I’ve seen. Oh yeah, yeah. Like you know, because like you, I’m just looking at like when I put a word for thought. That’s right. My job, when I was a kid, I was the remote control. Your kid pushed the elevator buttons. Elevator button. Open that door for me and don’t touch me until you watch that. Are you guys getting a, I don’t know if if cons are going to be cons anyway. It’s, it’s a weird thing what we’re going to see on the other side. Well cause I’ve seen Cod crud. God crud was a thing. Oh already was for sure. Oh yeah. For years. For as long as we’ve been going 15 years getting sick that day or two after it was just a given. But now it’s like I was talking to, I was talking to Travis at a source point was in a, uh, Gary, the guy from Monroe Comic-Con did a chat with rhino, you know, Carrie, uh, with rhino and uh, and Travis was one of the guys that was in there and he, and he said, you know, this has taught them a lot that, you know, they put weight, you know, as a publishing company, they put way too much dependency, um, on cons for sales and all that kind of stuff. And it really kind of screwed them. And so as they’re shifting and pulling back into, you know, the online market for direct sales and that kind of stuff, now it’s making, you know, they’re kind of looking at stuff like we do when we go to a con where it’s more about marketing and advertising. So you know, you do, you, you don’t need eight booths as a publisher anymore. You need one. You know, cause you’re not gonna, you’re not worried about direct sales, you just pay more getting the word out and that kind of stuff. So I wonder how that’s going to, what that ripple effect means to cons, their budgets, their spacing, everything else. It’s like I said, it’s, it’s gonna be interesting to see how this comes out. Not just cons. David. I think that the comic book industry, we put all of our eggs in the diamond. Yup. So, and there is literally no new stand anymore. I mean, you know, our, our cheese at Barnes and n
I had a great conversation with the CPO of Chili Piper, Alina Vandenberghe who started her entrepreneurial journey in high school selling lipstick. She’s a true inspiration to parents everywhere because she’s balancing motherhood and running two businesses!! Alina says that entrepreneurship fits her like a glove and I totally agree because she endured challenges to reach the pinnacle of her career and create products that solve important problems. She said “I founded Chili Piper that boosts buyer engagement for cool companies like Airbnb, Twillio, Eventbrite and thousands of others. I am also co-founder at GipsyBot where we're building the first intelligent, AI-powered todo list” And you can bet there’s much more to come from Alina and Chili Piper so I recommend listening to her story on the remote work life podcast. You'll Learn: >> How she got into tech from an early age to eventually become CPO and Founder of two tech businesses >> About her career journey and how she developed an affinity to entrepreneurship >> About her life growing up in communist Romania and the drivers that spurred her to start her first business while at school >> How she escaped her corporate 9-5 career and discovered that she was an entrepreneur >> The steps she went through to figure out her natural talents and passion Connect With Alex From Remote Work Life Join the Facebook community On LinkedIn On Instagram On YouTube Please sign up and subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Google Podcast iTunes Spotify Stitcher Watch the video podcast in FULL at >> the website and say hi > 30 Guests so far including Steli Efti CEO Close.com, Nick Francis CEO, Help Scout, Sarah Park President Meet Edgar, Darcy Boles, Head Of Employee Experience, Tax Jar, Michelle Dale, CEO Virtual Miss Friday Topics include How to build a remote work life in tech or marketing, making money while working online from anywhere, finding legitimate remote work opportunities, how to build a business in tech or marketing. About the Host I’m a Hiring strategist, Digital Marketer, Mentor to marketing and tech professionals and family man and I want to share all I’ve learned about remote work over the last 10 years.

How do you build a business around tools for software engineers? Adam talks to Lee Edwards, a VC who spends a lot of time thinking about this question. "When I think about is this a good business, I think about is there value Accruing. The question is just how much. The question about is it a venture-backed business? The very, very oversimplified answer is do you believe you can get $100 million in revenue within 10 years? And those numbers are kind of fudgy. But if you can do that, you can IPO a company and it's kind of amazing that PagerDuty and Twillio each do one thing well and they're multibillion-dollar companies. " "Another interesting thing that venture capitalists talk about behind closed doors and probably never tweet about or say publicly because it makes them look bad. But you do often wonder if the founder of a dev tool company, a lot of times they're really altruistic and you know, I feel this way too, right? But venture capitalists are like, wait, don't give your stuff away for free. And it can sometimes be kind of like a conflict. I think when you're looking for an open-source founder, you need to look for someone as a VC that actually does want to make everyone money."

This episode is on the tactics to build a diversity and inclusion movement at your organization - - everything from convening the first meeting, implementing change, structuring inclusion into the organization’s DNA, what to do when issues inevitably arise, measure diversity ROI as well as growing your own abilities to check your biases and make your community stronger. And our Guest is Dom Deguzman who has done exactly this at Twillio where she led a grassroots movement to start a Diversity and Inclusion department. She also runs a Diversity and Inclusion group with Freada Kapor to support over 100 other Bay Area companies who do similar work. Produced with love by Make School and Soul Labs (www.soullabs.co).

A man who’s big on commitment and the power of listening, Dan admits coming to Twilio for one big reason - market opportunity. Twilio operates in the telecommunications industry that has been around for decades and it's fast-forwarding the space into the future. No wonder it’s his favorite among all the companies he’s worked at.
