Yeah... and grape and... I wonder if I ever- I'm more of a fan of, like, making my... 1:53 I want my smoothies to taste as much like a chocolate milkshake as possible. Me too. Me too. To just fool myself. Mm. Like, it's like- Ooh... ooh, this is, like, bad for you, but then low-key- Yeah... it's good for you. 2:03 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Dude, look at this. My beard is so long right now, and you can't, I guess you can't really tell, and I usually trim my- You gotta just shave it. Shave it. 2:10 Just, just give me some mustache. Yeah. I should. Um, all right. If you think Troy should have a dad stache, go ahead and leave it in the comments. Tell me if, if Troy should shave the s- everything but the stache. 2:23 We've been trying to get him on the stache game for years. He's got two kids now. It's like, it's like a, it's like a rite of passage. You can't be a dad to two kids and not have a stache. What are you talking about? 2:32 What are you thinking? Speaking of stache, somebody always tells me to get a stache. Do you know who it is, besides you? Travis. Travis. Travis. Guess what, I had- We have, again, the three of us- Guess...... 2:43 heckling you... we do. Travis, if you're listening to this, let's, let's prove Guess what I had co-... Travis in.... guess who I had coffee with this morning? Guess who I had coffee with this morning? Travis? Travis. 2:49 In Chicago? Yeah. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. What up, Travis? Did you tell him I said hi? You probably didn't. You probably didn't tell him I said hi. We, no, we talked about- You probably didn't even mention me... 2:56 we talked a lot about you. You never, you never think about me. No, we, we talked about you. We, we talked about you. I think about you every day we have to record. I think about you- Which is getting later and later... 3:04 specifically wh- [laughs] We're gonna start recording after the drop. For the first, for the first 36 weeks, we recorded Tuesdays for the upcoming Wednesday, so like eight days in advance. Eight days, yep. 3:17 [laughs] We have, we have pushed to the limit. This is being recorded... By the time you're listening to this, this is recorded, like, two days ago. We're recording Monday- Yeah, yeah... 3:27 for the, for the current Wednesday, two days in advance. Our post-prod team probably hates us, but- Yeah, sorry, guys... they're doing a great job. 3:34 Their turnaround, their turnaround, they just need to turn it around slower so that we know they can't make the deadline. If they keep doing it so fast, we'll know, "Oh, wait, we don't have to..." No, no, just kidding. 3:43 Great job to the- Yeah, yeah, yeah... to the post-prod team. Uh- Yeah... why were you in Chicago? My wife, she's a big fan of, like, murder mystery podcasts. Um- Sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds... 3:52 and one of them were... Ooh, I like them, too. Sounds, sounds, sounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey. Hold on. We should just be quiet for, like, 30 seconds. [laughs] Oh. 4:01 So yeah, she's a big fan. Um, so if y'all, if y'all are a big fan of murder mysteries, there's your, like, classic OG one, which is Crime Junkies. They're great. They're great. I'm a fan of them. 4:10 But my wife and I really like this- Yeah, they're good. They're good. Yeah, yeah... this duo called... [laughs] My wife and I really like this duo called, uh, Going West. Going West. Okay. Never heard of it. Okay. 4:22 Um, we- So did you go listen to them live? You just got really loud, and I, I'm assuming post-prod it's not gonna sound loud, so I'll just ignore it. But yeah, we were gonna go see them live. 4:29 Were going to go see them live. Well, we bought tickets. They canceled their live shows. I don't know if they weren't selling enough. I don't know if they just- Oh, shoot... didn't wanna go on tour. That's annoying. 4:40 All right. Okay. No, that's, that's- So yeah, yes, it is annoying, and our hotel was non-refundable, so we're like, screw it, might as well use it. And, um, my wife's parents, or my wife's mom... 4:49 Sorry, I dropped something. My wife's mom, uh, took the kids, so we just went out to Chicago for the night. And, uh- I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you a story about tickets, uh, in Chicago, actually. Um, this was- Ooh. 5:01 Keep going... oh, who knows, nine, nine years ago maybe, 10 years ago. I don't know. My wife and I have been married for eight years, coming up eight years, and I think it was before we were married. 5:12 Anyways, we lived in Chicago suburbs and, uh... I love how close you are to the camera. I can't even get that close. My camera's so far away from me right now, I have to, this is me fully extended. 5:21 Um, I got tickets to Hamilton. Mm. Just scammed out of my mind. I bought these tickets, wait for it, wait for it- From like a-... wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, Craigslist. 5:31 [laughs] I bought actual paper tickets on Craigslist. I was so- They were just printed out from their printer? I was so scammed. 5:39 I walked up to the ticket office, and they, they took my tickets, and they just, their, their hearts just sunk for me. They're like, "Oh." Dude, how much did you pay? God, they're like... Um, it was, it was a lot. 5:50 I think it was, like, I got four tickets. I got one for me and my wife, or maybe girlfriend at the time, and then, uh, her parents for my wife's birthday. Ugh. Wait, wait, how did you impress the parents?I know. I know. 6:01 Play it on Twitch or something. So what I did, what I did- Shh... I told them I got scammed, but then I just bought tickets at the, at the box office, which was way more money. 6:09 And at that point, literally two hours before the show, there was only very expensive tickets left. Yeah. So I think on the ones I got scammed, it was like 7 or 800 bucks. Ter- terrible. 6:18 But then I had to buy like $2,000 [laughs] tickets. So I was out like $3,000 for this show. I mean, it was great. I loved Hamilton. Yeah, yeah. So don't ever buy tickets on, uh, Craigslist. You live and you learn. Yeah. 6:28 You know, I think I just got scammed recently. Not that much, by the way. Um, I feel like my account was just, just give it to me. This spot, this episode, people are gonna be, "Dude, what are y'all doing?" 6:37 Um, I, I think I just got scammed, um, on the TikTok, on the TikTok shop. I'm not sure. Uh, I bought a product- Like for real?... a while ago. Yeah, kind of. 6:45 But like it redirected me to PayPal to pay them versus like through the TikTok shop, and it was my first time. I bought three things on the TikTok shop now. None of them worked out how I wish it would. Sure. 6:53 And so, yeah, yeah. And so I, uh, there was these Nike pants that I assume, and if y'all are listening, I promise I'm usually not like this, but I assume they're like knockoffs, like fake. Oh, they always are. 7:08 Because they were pretty, they were pretty cheap. Um, but they were sick pants. They were so cool. 7:12 Anyways, bought two pairs and, um, they were 29 bucks for these sweatpants, and like I feel like a Nike sweatpant is typically like 50 bucks, 60 bucks, 70 bucks, something like that. Anywho. Yeah. Um, yeah. 7:24 They're not here. It's been- Do you ever see the, uh-... it's been a while... do you ever see the, do you ever see the Dude Wipes TikTok shop upsell? It's always like a, "Oh, get, get the 12 pack of Dude Wipes. 7:33 470 wipes for freaking 9.99." You ever seen that one? No, no, no. No. I hear- Do you use them? I hear they're used. I hear they're used wipes. Oh, bro. That's why they're so cheap. Can you link me? 7:43 Yeah, people, people have already, people have already wiped, wiped their butt with them. Can you li- Yeah. Can you please link me? Um- No, I'm kidding. Um, they're just... I do use Dude Wipes. Bro, let's go there. Okay. 7:54 Yeah, let's please do. If you're a grown man, if you're a grown man and you're not using either baby wipes or a duvet, not duvet. What's it called? Bidet? [laughs] Yeah, bidet. If you're- A duvet. 8:01 If you're not wiping- If you're-... your butt with your comforter, you are not a man. [laughs] 2025, you should be using baby wipes or a bidet. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And if you're not, your booty's dirty. I'm sorry. Okay. 8:13 You're just- Okay, I- You're not, you're not cleaning, you're not cleaning yourself. So I also want to add on this topic, I don't use either, but, but, but, but- [coughs] But I know. But hold on. 8:21 I rescind, I rescind- I prefer-... my happy birthday. I prefer them. Dude, one, I just don't think that they're good for like your plumbing. I don't [laughs]... 8:28 I think they say they're like flushable- Dude, I don't even flush... but I don't really think that they're- No, I don't even flush. I just, I've been filling my toilet for years. I haven't flushed once. 8:35 [laughs] Oh, so there's, there's that aspect of it. Yeah. But I love them. Okay, now let's go into... Okay. I was just in Mil- a long weekend, dude. So Friday happened. Yeah, you said. 8:48 Saturday, we drove to Milwaukee to stay at- Oh, I'm sure I'm done traveling for the year. Th- uh, this is local. This is driving. 8:53 So I drove to Milwaukee, stayed in Milwaukee Friday night, no Saturday night, and then drove to Chicago, stayed in Chicago Sunday night. But regardless, I went to Milwaukee, saw my wife's brother. 9:02 He has this bidet, like top of the line, like at home bidet, where like- Supreme. Supreme... the seat is warmed. Oh yeah, the bidet. So like when you sit down, it's just comfortable. 9:10 Um, great sprayer, perfect aim, great dryer they comes with it. Does it have an air dryer on it? Yeah, dryer. Does it, yeah, it dries, it dries your butt? Warm, warm water. Oh, dude. Oh, dude. Anyways, phenomenal. 9:19 I love it every time. But my question for you about the wipes, what's the process? Are you, are you going wipe and then are you drying with like a, a piece of toilet paper? No, no, no. 9:28 Or are you going like- Check it out... all wipes all the way through and then you're getting off with a- Toilet paper... sw- [laughs] wet booty? No. 9:34 You, you do toilet paper until there's not much left, and then you're doing a nice squeaky clean with the wipe. Okay. Okay. Got it. And you only flush one wipe at a time. 9:42 If you're using more than one wipe, you gotta flush more than one. One wipe at a time. That's how you- Which- That's how, that's how you get the, the plumbers to love you. If you ever get something stuck- Yeah, yeah... 9:51 plumbers aren't gonna hate you if you do. They can tell. They can tell. [laughs] So wait, more, let's go, let's keep, let's double tap. [laughs] Uh, let's go more in on this. So okay, this makes sense. 10:02 Are you, this is not unrel- this is not related to pooping. Do you wash your hands every time you use the bathroom at your house, even if it's a pee? 10:09 Every single time, 100% of the times, or sometimes do you not wash your hands and just get back to what you're doing? No, I wash my hands every time. But that's just- Every time?... like a OCD, yeah, it's an OCD- Mm... 10:17 part of me. Yeah, I got a lo- I got, yep, I have to. I have to. I'm definitely a poop washer, but it's, it depends on, it depends on like where, where [laughs] I'm at in my day. Like am I- Sure. Sure. Sure... you know? 10:27 Like am I like really- You know what's gross?... just wanna get in and out? Go ahead, tell me. What's gross about... 10:32 So if you're listening to this and you're not a man, you may not have been to a men's restroom, like public restroom. They're grotesque. Oh, yeah. I mean, urine everywhere. 10:40 If you get close enough to go to the bathroom in a toilet, you are stepping in a puddle of urine. Mm, on pee. Yeah, yeah. That's just how it is. Yeah. Love it. 10:46 What's gross about that to me is not, I mean, that itself is gross. Mm. The fact that we all just wear our shoes in our house- Mm... that's like normal to do in America, knowing where my shoes have been. Like just- Mm. 11:01 Yeah, yeah... oh yeah, shoes are gross. You've been outside in the world. Like that's gross. But to think specifically about the fact that I've stepped in urine in a public restroom and then brought that into my house. 11:09 [gags] Yeah. I will- Oh, it makes me wanna never wear shoes in my house. But that's, you know, it's- I-... it's achievable. Some people do. A lot of people in the world do that. It, it is. But very not in America. 11:16 We, we are not, we're not shoe wearers. We're not shoe wearers in our, in our house. Um- Yeah?... 11:19 but I think it's more so, yeah, it's, I think it's more so 'cause my wife, like she loves the house clean, and she just knows that it's cleaner. We like the house clean, too. But- We need to redo our hardwood floors. 11:28 It's very deceiving. Mm. Even when our house is spotless, our hardwood floors are ugly. Like they've been ruined. They're probably 40 years old- Yeah... original floors built in 1985. Okay. Yeah, yeah. 11:39 So like even if they're spotless, we've just mopped, we've vacuumed everything, it's like it looks gross. I think it's deceiving. 11:46 I think if we redid our floors, it would be much easier to take the shoes off 'cause we would see a spotless floor, and we would want it- Yeah, yeah... to stay that way. Yeah, that's- Yeah, we gotta redo those... 11:53 so, so back to the urinals. That little pad at the bottom of the urinal, is that mainly just for like the smell? Is that just a scented pad? 11:59 'Cause when I hi- when I pee on like that little pad, it splashes back like on my legs. Do you ever, do you ever get- All right... splashed on your legs? Super frustrating. 12:07 Yes, if you're wearing shorts, if you're wearing shorts- Yes. You, you, it hits your leg... and you go pee in a urinal, if you're getting splashed, you're getting splashed. Dude. I told that to my wife once. 12:13 She's like, "That's gross." I'm like, "No, it's every single-Man in the world Drives me nuts Gets splashed in the leg. So your legs are also dirty. [laughs] Yep, yep, yep. It, it drives... 12:23 Okay, are you poop shy in public? Uh... If you're in a, if you're in a, if you gotta go use number two, we'll say that, and somebody's in a, in a stall right there, are you able to just go comfortably? 12:35 Or is it like, "Ah, I want them to leave"? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, no, I'm, I'm just gonna go. You're, you're- I mean, depends on how bad I need to go. I usually try not to go in public because it, it's gross. Yeah. 12:43 Yeah. But, like, if I have to go, I'm gonna go. So Cl- What I, I wanna, I wanna question that as well 'cause it's gross. Would you argue that they clean their toilets more often than you clean yours? 12:51 Like, let's say a restaurant. I don't... I, even if- Would you? Even if they don't... No, they probably, they probably do because I've worked at restaurants and I know- Yeah... there's, like, a whole, like- Yeah, yeah... 13:00 daily in some cases. But the number of people whose butt has, has touched that is- Yeah... far greater than my own ass. [laughs] You would hope. In just the 24-hour period. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 13:11 So I'm like, how many butts, how many butts am I stacking- Yeah... on top of- Yeah... to take a dump right now in this toilet? [laughs] How many butt stacks are there? 13:18 So are you a toilet paper on top of the seat kinda guy? [laughs] Yeah, 100%, 100%. Every time? If I'm, if I'm sitting down, yeah. Yeah, in public. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. 13:28 I, I- I'm also putting a wad of toilet paper in the water- So the splash-... so there's no splash... you're that guy? Oh. So there's no splash. 100%. Man. Zero splash. I- Very methodical... 13:38 I think, uh, for me it depends on the toilet. Like, when I go to the gym, it's like, all right, I'll, I'll go toilet paper on top 'cause that's just kinda nasty. Uh- Sure... 13:44 but, like, let's say you go to, like, a five... Is a five-star restaurant? Is that even... Yeah, like, a nice restaurant or a five-star hotel. [laughs] Oh, man. Like a nice- A Michelin star. [laughs] Yeah. 13:52 [laughs] How many times, how many times have you taken a dump in a Michelin star restaurant? Not often, but if I look at it and it's, like, a single use, just one, not, like, a public space- Mm... 14:00 it's just you in the bathroom and it looks really clean- Mm... I'm not going toilet paper on top. I'm like, "They know what they're doing." All right. Switching gears. 14:06 I put a tweet out today about my investment strategy and it went viral. It's still going viral. It's going bonkers viral right now, and it's about... A- all I said was, it was a screenshot of my Robinhood account. 14:17 There was, like, $7,700 in it, just, like, you know, my, my play money with stocks and stuff. And I said, "Which politician should I copy to turn this into $70,000?" [laughs] And it's so many... 14:28 A- actually it was a genuine question, but I also was like, oh, this is gonna get, this is gonna get a lot of engagement- Yeah... 'cause everyone thinks they're right and everyone tags themself- Yeah... 14:35 and everyone says, "DM me," and everyone reposts all the stuff. And then a lot of people wanna follow along because they're like, "Ooh, that's a good question. I'm gonna..." 14:41 So anyways, what do you think about these, these apps? There's apps like Autopilot is one of them. 14:46 There's a few very similar to Autopilot where you, you sign up for an account, you open an investment account, and it basically, 14:53 y- you tell it which, not just politicians, but, like, people, investors, to copycat and it'll make the same trades- Mm... 15:01 as these prominent, like Nancy Pelosi, very common, uh, politician who investors, successful investors in many cases, have just copycat her trades. Which is, like, a whole ethical thing I don't even wanna get into. 15:11 But what do you think about investing with that type of app where you're like, "All right. I'm gonna just do exactly what Nancy Pelosi does for the next three years and see what happens"? I mean, 15:21 I think it's a good idea, right? Cool. I think it's, I think it's- Now, is that financial advice 'cause I, I think I'm gonna do it. [laughs] Does... None, none of this is... [laughs] Get 'em. No, I don't know. 15:30 Uh, because I don't use any of those apps. I just let my, like, super rich and wealthy f- No, I don't even know this guy. 15:38 I met him, but I, I have, like, the financial advisor that does it all 'cause I don't wanna, like, pay attention to it. Do you... So you don't have, you don't have a personal investing account at all? 15:44 You just go all the way through your- I give it all-... your- I did and I- Yeah... gave it all over to- Yeah... to my boy JD. What up, JD? Um, he's got- I have a financial guy, too. 15:52 I'm thinking about, thinking about going that route. I like having control over some stuff. Like, I don't- Yeah... I don't in- I don't do all of my investing, um- Yeah. Yeah, yeah... 15:59 but I, like, you know, if, if I come into 500 or $1,000 and I'm like, "Ah, you just- Yeah... gonna throw this at, like, Nvidia or something." I mean, there's, there's times where I've gambled and I've lost. 16:08 [laughs] E- every single time I'm like, "Oh, this company looks like they're gonna do, do well." Yeah. I don't know what I'm reading. Like, I'm not looking at this drop and then that. Like, I'm, I'm just like- Sure... 16:15 it looks like they got good o- good, like, a good earnings report or something. I'm like, "Let's go with them." Which speaking of, Nvidia today- Nvidia's crazy. I'm up 50... just invested 100 billion. 16:23 Dude, they just today- Yes... invested $100 billion into OpenAI. Some of that's gonna come right back to them. That's, I think it's a- Oh... 16:29 it's an, it's a smart investment 'cause the OpenAI is gonna buy Nvidia's, you know- Yeah, exactly... chips and stuff. Yeah, yeah. But my Nvidia, dude, I, it's like, hindsight's 2020. I, I own Nvidia, um, shareholder. 16:41 The whole company, by the way, if y'all, if y'all are anywhere. I own... I'm a, I'm an Nvidia shareholder. I have a few shares. 16:47 Anyways, it's up, like, 53% since I started buying it, and I'm like, "If only I had put gobs of money in this." And obviously it's so easy to say that after a stock has gone up. Oh, of course. Yeah. 16:56 But yeah, I think Nvidia, Nvidia's a safe, uh, a safe bet. This is not financial advice. I do not know what I'm talking about. Do not buy anything based on these questions or comments. But yeah, I have some Nvidia. 17:06 I have some Tesla. Um, I bought f- uh, not, I bought some Figma at the IPO. I, I sold all of it 'cause it went back down to its IPO price more or less. 17:14 Um, I bought some Fiverr, which is an interesting stock to buy- Interesting... uh, based on my much younger protege, uh, at Beehive. He told me to buy Fiverr. 17:24 I was, I was, I was quite upset at first 'cause it, it's just went down, [laughs] but then it went- Yeah, wait, why, why Fiverr?... very far up. I was like, okay, I don't know. To be honest, I didn't even ask questions. 17:31 I said, "Where should I yeet this $1,100?" He said, "Buy Fiverr." [laughs] So I did. Interesting. [laughs] I wonder why that is. Yeah. 'Cause I, I saw- Yeah... 17:37 a Fiverr CEO come out with a statement like six months ago about essentially like- Yeah, AI only... about... AI only what? 17:44 Fiverr made a statement about AI, and he said he's, they're, they'd let go of a ton of people in exchange for AI autonomy and AI agents. Well, that, and then also he talks about the, the freelancers. 17:54 A lot of those freelancers are being replaced by AI. So he was like, "This is gonna hurt a lot of the people that provide services on our platform." 18:00 And you would think that that hurts the company 'cause they make money off- No... of transactions and stuff like that. Interesting. Younger protege, I wanna know why Fiverr. I wanna know the insider scoop over there. 18:10 Um, maybe there's gonna be some GameStop play. Um- I don't know. I have a little bit of GameStop still. Barely any. It's just fun to watch, and so I haven't sold it. Is- It's like $50. 18:18 It's like- Is that just, like, done? Is that, like- Yeah... was that whole- I, I think soI think so. Okay. Same thing with like RadioShack. RadioShack had its moment, viral social moment. 18:26 So I, I've, I deferred a half marathon last year, Summerville Half. Mm-hmm. And deferred it because I got injured. That's like right in line when I got injured. 18:34 And I ended up doing the Kiwa Half 'cause I wasn't super injured. My like neck injury came the year after that. But anyways, that's coming up in like six, seven weeks, and I finally got a reply from them. 18:44 'Cause, "Hey, I deferred this last year. Like what's the, what's the deal?" They said, "Yeah, let us know which distance you wanna do. There's a half, there's a 10K and a 5K." 18:50 Thinking about doing the half, but I only have six and a half weeks to train. Easy. Easy. I feel like it would be s- I know. Nope. It is easy. Easy. Do it. I feel like I can do it. No, you- You're an athlete. 18:59 You think I should do the, the half? You're an athlete. I know, but- Yeah... I feel like 10K is gonna be so much easier on my body. I know how you are. See, I don't wanna injure myself. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 19:07 I don't wanna injure myself ramping up to 13 miles in, in six weeks, but I don't know. If it was three weeks, I'd be much more hesitant. 19:13 Six and a half, I feel like I can get, I can get a 7, I can get a 9, I can get an 11 in the next three weeks- Yeah... and then I can taper- Yeah, yeah... week four, five, and be done. Yeah. I mean, I would... Yeah. 19:26 My, like, my, my first thought I'd say just go do the half. Like why not? But then- I know... you're right. Like you've been dealing with- I know... some back pain, some neck pain. I know. 19:33 Like I don't know if it's worth hurting yourself over running. It's just running. Well, what I told- You know?... what I told Courtney is I'm like, "I have the deferral. 19:40 It's literally just pick your, pick your race, and they'll just sign me up for it." I'd do the half. I, I register for the half. And then day of, like worst case, I'm like, I, "No way. 19:51 No way I can do it," just go and, and either walk, run, which is fine. I can do 13 miles walk, run without blinking. 20:00 Or just, I, I feel like if I show up day of and be like, "Hey, I'm gonna do the 10K not the, not the half," like this is not a world marathon. I, I'm thi- I'm thinking they'll just be like, "Okay." 20:09 Like surely they won't- Yeah.... have an issue with it, right? Like- I don't think they should. Like, I've only done one half, and it was- Same... it wasn't like, like I could've easily just walked into the 10K instead. 20:20 Right. You know? Yeah, like I don't know. So yeah. I think that's- Surely they're not gonna be like- So-... "No, you signed up for the half." 20:24 But maybe you'll get the, maybe we'll get the, the rewards as a half, though, so you can have like a little like number sign- Or points... that says like half marathon. Or points or some... That's right. Yeah. 20:32 Have a little medal. Yeah. How- Do the 5K and get a half medal... how much is it to run the, the half? It blows my mind how much- 85... how expensive. Okay. Dude, it's 160- Yeah, 85... 20:40 for this one in November, in November. I know. And I'm like, I don't even know if I wanna spend 160 bucks to go run 13 miles. No, it's crazy. Th- I did the, the Kiwa Half last year. Was... 20:50 Kiwa's already a very expensive race because it's on a private island, and you just can't get on, and they don't want a lot of people there, so they make it super expensive. I think it was like $235 for a half. 21:00 For a half. Are you getting like new shoes with it? [laughs] Like does it come with shoes at the end? It, it's not even, it's not... No, it was like a really cool half. I would probably not do it again. 21:10 I definitely wouldn't do the full because you go out, I think, 15 miles for the full, and then you actually backtrack for the remaining, remaining nine or whatever. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. 21:19 Or, uh, I guess it'd be remaining 11. So like when I was on the half, I s- I passed marathon runners going the other way, and I'm like, I would hate a marathon that wasn't a single loop. Like you're- Yeah... 21:30 seeing the same thing again. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like for 26 miles? That sounds horrendous. So yeah, it was fun. It was a good experience. I loved the experience, but it was so expensive, and they, they do that on purpose. 21:39 They price gauge on purpose 'cause they don't have enough space for all the people that would register otherwise. So they just try to- Yeah... weed it out with price, which is like so snooty. 21:47 I'm like, "Dude, it's a race. Who cares?" Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do, uh, TikTok might be, uh, getting bought by some companies here in the US. Have you seen this? Oracle. 21:56 Yeah, they're, uh, Oracle and some other investors are buying 80% of it, uh, so 80% will be American owned, and then Byte, Byte, ByteDance. ByteDance. ByteDance? ByteDance, yeah. ByteDance will own- Byte, Byte... 22:06 20% still. Um, but I think that's- Yeah, yeah... their loophole to keeping it alive is it's, uh, uh, American owned now through Oracle and some other investors. Yeah. Which is funny. 22:16 Oracle, I believe, I haven't checked today, but in the last few days the owner of Oracle has become the richest person in the world by a heavy margin just because Oracle stock has been skyrocketing the last two weeks. 22:27 Really? Yeah. Good old Larry Ellis. What are your thoughts on that? And have you seen like 22:34 more of like the, the politics behind it of Larry Ellis and, I think it's like Larry Ellis, Michael Dell, and the Murdochs are, are looking to buy it, but have you ever seen like any of the politics behind it? 22:44 Honestly, I have no thoughts. I, I, I saw it was happening. I didn't care, and that's the full- [laughs] And then moved on... breadth of my understanding. Yeah, which is uncommon. I usually have more thoughts. 22:54 Uh, but what are your thoughts? It sounds like you already from name-dropping those three individuals know more about it than I do. Also, shout out forearms. 23:02 If you're on YouTube, you can watch me get massive forearms right now. Dude- I do this during meetings sometimes... [laughs] you know what we should do? 23:10 We should have an episode where we just have like 16 sponsors and all throughout the episode we're just like trying things out. [laughs] Oh. Oh, that's funny. Q tech. I've had this for like legit 10 years. 23:23 Uh, it's- You got hands on it?... I'm not sponsored by Q... I think so, but it goes up to 40 kilograms of force, and it's like, it's like, it's like great. Dude- It's like a stress ball... 23:32 people say that they've never seen forearms like Daniel's. They're absolutely- I know... incredible. People tell me all the time. But [laughs] Everywhere I go they're like, "Hey, where'd you get forearms like that? 23:40 Is that genes or, you know?" And you said Q Tech. [laughs] Uh, this is... Anyways, no thoughts on like the TikTok stuff. 23:46 I was actually just watching TikToks, funny enough, about the TikTok acquisition today and like the politics behind Larry Ellis and like things like that, and there's supposedly some deeper things there where- Yeah... 23:58 uh, I don't think it's worth probably chatting about here. Anyways, if y'all are interested and curious what I'm talking about- Mm-hmm... just go look it up. Um, and you know what I've been doing recently with Liam? 24:07 Go ahead. Tell us. And he loves it. He loves it. So everyone, Liam's right there, coolest dude in the world. Loves it. So I go to ChatGPT, um, if you're not aware, everybody, ChatGPT is an, it's an LLM. 24:19 You can go there, okay? [laughs] So I just type in, "Tell me a," whatever, "silly story."Or, uh, like write me a silly story and include these, you know, six people. 24:28 It'll be like kids from his daycare, Gaga, Grandpa, uh, the dog, things like that, and it'll be like make it about... Like, for example, we went to Milwaukee with them on Saturday. 24:36 I said, "Make it about going to Milwaukee today." And for breakfast, I just play the story that it makes. I, I copy and paste it into like this text-to-speech or this AI text-to-speech thing. Yep. 24:47 Um, though it sounds like a real human. And then he's just been like listening to the stories, and then I also tell it to like add some like learning things in there. 24:53 So whether it counts or says whatever, you know, blah, blah, blah. Anyways, he loves it. So if anyone here wants to entertain their three-year-old, go write stories, have ChatGPT write them stories, and play it out loud. 25:02 I do that. He loves it. He loves it. Yeah. I recently have done that, um, a few times in the last few weeks, where, you know, they'll, "Hey, tell me a story." Okay. And I just do exactly the same thing. 25:14 Um, sometimes I have a subject. You know my-- They like dinosaurs. They like trucks. They like, you know, ocean stuff. So I'm just like, "Um, write me a story in a way that a three or four-year-old would understand." 25:25 So I have a three-and-a-half-year-old and a one-and-a-half-year-old, so one-and-a-half-year-old doesn't care at all, but, you know, three-and-a-half-year-old. And I just put their names in. I put my name in. 25:32 I describe our life, and now I just have a chat where I'll just go back in, "Hey, need a new story." Boom. Takes five seconds, and there's something. And they're usually short stories. Yeah. Yeah. 25:40 Um, I can tell it to do long. You know? Anyways. Yeah. It's very- It's a great, great use of ChatGPT. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like not really screen... Like I don't let them like... 25:48 There's no reason for them to hold the phone, 'cause it's just reading off- Yeah... the text, so it's like not really screen time. Right. But yeah, it is, it's an amazing use case. Um, question for you. Take that out. 25:56 No, no, no. Keep it in. Keep it in. Ah, dude, I'm trying to get better. No, the listeners need to know. The listeners need to know that Troy asks me- Sucks at this... the same way- Um... every time. It's okay. Yeah. 26:06 It's okay. Yeah, yeah. We're learning. Dan- We're learning... Dan and I talk, Daniel and I talk in the background, and he's like, "Dude, we gotta stop saying question for you." And he's done a really good job. 26:13 Now what he says is, "Switching gears," so he's, he's switched to switching gears. Um- I do. I switch gears. [laughs] I switch gears heavy. So good at switching gears. You're so good at gear switching. 26:23 Um- I love gear switching... Everett, big boy, big boy bed or, or crib? It's like both. So we, it's like technically a crib, but we took the side off, and so it's like a convertible. So now it's just like- Okay... a bed. 26:33 Yeah. Okay. How about you? Maverick, he is... Okay, Liam's in like a big boy bed right now. One and a, one and a half. He's one and a half. Yeah, so he's, yeah, he's still in a crib. 26:40 So he's walking, running, all that stuff? Or what- Yeah. Uh, shit Running, walking. He's got maybe 30 words. 20, 30 words. Um, I don't know. Maybe more. But yeah, he says words. 26:49 Uh, but just doesn't say full sentences or anything. Loving life. Yeah. Dude- Growing-... it's so-... so fast. Never stops eating. He will literally not stop eating until we just stop feeding him. He just- Really?... 26:58 like dog. Yeah. Yeah. Is he a big boy? Just like, I mean, he's like a normal big. I just, it's, his crazy appetite. 27:03 I think it's 'cause he just started walking the last few months, and he's just like hungry all the time, 'cause he's burning all his energy. Yeah. Also, I think, I mean, he's not a small boy. Um, I'm a big person. Yeah. 27:11 And both of my kids- Yeah... are clearly my kids, so. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You think they're gonna be- Yeah... 6'5", 6'4", whatever? It's, it would not surprise me. 27:18 My- on my mom's side of the family, I'm not even the biggest. I mean, my youngest, or my, my younger brother is like 6'7", 6'8". Uh, my uncle's like 6- 6'7". 6'7". I know. I know. TikTok people- Sheesh... 27:30 do y'all know it? Come on. Do y'all, do you know the TikTok trend or no? Do I look stupid- No... right now? Oh, no. Yes. Anyways. You talking about 6'7", 4, 4.9 or whatever it is? 41. The random two numbers. 41. 41. 27:42 I don't know. Yeah. Dude. It's like such a s- it's such a such a stupid trend. 6'7". Oh. Such a stupid trend. Man. I know. I look like an idiot. Such a stupid... 27:49 Is that the, uh- You and I are so close in age but so far in generation. I know. I know. Um- Just kidding... even, even though- No, this, I do know exactly what trend you're talking about. I just don't care. 27:58 [laughs] Uh, your brother that's 6'7", he's, is he the developer? No, he's a software- No, Trevor, like the develop- Yeah. Okay. And he lives out- Yeah... he lives like in Vegas, or where does he live? Mm-hmm. 28:07 Yeah, he's in Vegas. Okay. Full-time. That's, that sun- Full-time software player. I know. I'm like I don't know if we've ever, uh, we've ever seen the sunset in, uh, in the recording, but here we are. Yeah. Yeah. Um... 28:18 [laughs] I know. Um, what are we talking about now? I don't know. We can just call, call it a day. Call it early. How do we end it? 'Cause I didn't really like... 28:25 There are some questions I have, but it, there, they're like I've asked all of these. What up, Maverick? [laughs] I know. That was- All right... that was- All right, let's, how do, how do we end this? 28:33 Um, we just talked about 6'7". You could just say, "Anyways, I gotta go help..." Just say, "Anyways, I'm gonna go help my wife with the kids," and end it that way. Is that good? That was good. Uh, yep. 28:46 I'm, all right, I'm gonna go help my wife with the kids. [laughs] Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh. No, this is good. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't cut this part out. I'm gonna do something really funny right now. 28:58 Where's the ba-ba-ba-ba video?

[laughs] I'm looking at some of the pictures that we've sent over our text. [laughs] This is funny. 29:39 Where is it? Wow, I've made so many posts about Two Dads and Tech. I did not realize that. I'm close. Oh, you're trying to go all the way back on your posts? I was. 30:01 It's not even on LinkedIn. I thought it would be. You didn't share it? [sighs] I thought I did. I know.
