AI Self-Finishing To-Do List, Podcast Kayfabe & War With Kara Swisher

26:32I was just super into it. Did you let out a small female gasp? Yeah. If you would have saw me standing up, my heel kind of popped up. You know, it was like when you kiss a girl and she's in her heels and pops up. What's that called, by the way? That thing's amazing. What a thing that is. He just happened to have a fan there that was blowing my hair. It was a romantic time. You know, we got romantic real fast. But it was really fascinating because he actually said something that kind of changed my perspective. I was like, Brett, like software is way easier. Just like, why not do that? He's like, actually, I think software is harder.

27:09When I was building Vetteri, we basically had to code stuff and invent stuff. But with physics and hardware, I'm just working within the laws of physics. And I know what the laws are. And if I can get creative and create solutions within these laws, I already know that people are going to buy this thing. So that part's actually way easier to me than creating software where it's basically a blank canvas and I can make anything I want. With this, it has really strict constraints. And it changed my opinion on things. It was super fascinating. You have to go down there and check it out. Yeah, that sounds pretty sick.

27:42I'm surprised it's that far ahead. Because I know Boston Dynamics and even Tesla with its Tesla robot. Boston Dynamics has been going for, I don't know, 10 plus years. And they have this weird dog robot that can do parkour or something. They have a crazy looking robot. But I don't think it's that functional yet. It's not like replacing warehouse work yet. in a real way. Well, he explained that to me. So everyone knows Boston Dynamics. You've seen viral videos of Ehrlich Bachman kicking the deer, the robot deer, and it comes back at him. He said that, I was like, Brett, who's your competition? Boston Dynamics?

28:24And he was like, no, because they are a research company. And so their DNA is not to build stuff that people want to buy. It's just to push the envelope. And it's almost like a nonprofit in a way. I think now it's owned by like Kia or Hyundai or something like that. uh so eventually we'll become more like capitalistic but he's like they were just making stuff and pushing the envelope and then companies like us who want to build stuff for commercial uses uh like there's not that many use cases there's not many other companies doing something just like this and so that was how we explained the difference between boston dynamics and him there's a uh video that's amazing that you should watch it's the amazon warehouse like amazon warehouse robots and i don't know if you've seen this but they're basically like they almost look like you know back in the day in pe you would get this like it's not a skateboard because it's a square it's like it's like a square version of a skateboard that you can like sit on like a knee board i think they called it yeah so something that looks like that basically it's a flat like square with four wheels on it and i don't know if you've seen these videos of the amazon warehouse but there's thousands of these and what they do is they drive around so an order comes in and they're like all right cool this this person over here needs to pack an order or they're packing the next 10 orders.

29:35Those 10 orders need these bins. So they go, they drive, they pick up, they go under the rack with the bins. They pick it up and it's like elevated like two inches off the ground. And then they drive this huge rack of bins to the human. So the human doesn't have to move. They're sitting in their chair and they just pick the items, put them in a box and then the robot takes it away. And all these robots, they don't crash into each other because they're all like synced to one brain basically. One brain is driving all of them at once. And so they never bump into each other and they all just go and they lift these huge racks and bring them to the person because otherwise if you've ever been to a warehouse like normally it's like you get a ticket you get an order i've done this i packed thousands of orders myself like you're like all right i gotta go get something from bin 308 it's down in the far left corner then i gotta walk to bin 102 because they ordered these two items and then i'm gonna try to do maybe two or three orders however many i can carry with my little uh tray here back to my pack my packing station at the end and then i'll pack all those orders and so it's so much faster just due to these automations and you could definitely tell how all kind of like industrial and manufacturing work is going to get automated just it's just a matter of when and the companies that do that are going to be very big companies you uh recently bought a cadillac and cadillac has really great or they're supposed to have great self-driving have you been using it no you don't you don't use the self-driving i don't think ours even i don't think ours even has anything like self-driving oh really man i uh we just got a Tesla and I before that I was using my friend's Tesla the self-driving stuff is awesome man it totally has changed me and so like I'm seeing like some of these like now I'm a believer before I was you know kind of archaic I'm a believer on a lot of these things now I had to use it for a week to actually understand I'm shocked you don't have that though yeah it didn't come with my car for whatever reason but um yeah I I had a terrible Tesla experience but I don't know I think I I rented like a four-year-old Tesla.

31:26So it just sucked for whatever reason. Well, that's my very quick story on Brett. We have, you have to go and see this guy. Like, it's so much cooler to see. It's just, it feels so much more rewarding to work on some of these products because A, it has like a very real world application. And then also like you're, it almost feels like a bunch of friends just sitting around and they're like, oh my God, we just got the need to like kick forward. Like, you know, it feels like a, do you remember those those TV shows when we were kids where it was robot wars, it was like robots. And that's basically what it was.

31:58It felt like that in real life where they were just like tinkering on these robots and like, all right, we have it set up. Let's see if we can get the foot to move. And it just seems so much more fun than looking at a computer screen and just coding all day. So it's really fascinating. You got to go down to his warehouse and see it. Yeah. I look forward to three episodes from now when you ask me, have I ever heard of Brett Edcock again? It's going to be great. Yeah. Do you know I used to sell hot dogs?

32:23we uh we're supposed to tell you to go there's a story behind all this let me just quickly tell you you're supposed to go to mfmpod.com slash webby webby is w-e-b-b-y mfmpod by the way there's not an ad there's not an ad this is war this is war there's a small small tiny war going on and we need your help so to be clear we don't care about the webbies we got nominated for a webbie on the webbies there's webbies is like an internet oscars right it's like an internet grammys but it's not basically that's a little bit much because it's not like generous it's not yeah that's what they're trying to be all right that's what they're trying to be that's generous and so you can have a website a podcast so if you go in the podcast in the biz is it the business category?

33:12What category are we in? Their website's quite challenging to work, by the way. It's hard to make work. But yeah, we're in the business podcast category. But if you go to mfmpod.com slash Webby, you're going to get redirected to the right link. So the story of this is basically HubSpot submitted our pod to this Webby Award. Normally, this isn't something that we would do because it costs money to submit. And I think there's even like a dinner in New York, which I don't really want to go to. But here's the story there's this woman named kara swisher kara swisher is this popular journalist uh she started recode i think it was called and she has got a big podcast called pivot she's just like an elite like kind of like who's who of like our little tech techie journal in silicon valley she's super well known for like i don't know 20 years 30 years who knows how long she's been doing this uh as sean would say she's kind of like she's the jake paul of journalism no no taylor lorenz is the jake falls of journalism i like i actually like her so she's she's all right but i agree by the way i she came for us she came for our neck she came for our neck so but what happened was she tweeted out i hate starting a story with she tweeted out because i i immediately think of all the mobster movies that like i just watched this mobster movies of these guys like killing each other and i'm like i'm starting a beef by saying like she tweeted you know like Like, it's just like, tweet it out.

34:38She said, let's just say she said. Here's what she said to our face. And what did she say? Do you know what she said? It was something like, she tweeted out a link to the Webby's. We didn't even know we were, me and you didn't even know we were up for Webby. But there's like four podcasts that are up for it. One is her podcast. One is our podcast. And she goes, there's no way, something like this. There's no way I'm going to lose. We can, like, for God's sake, we can't lose to a podcast called My First Million. Like, you know, just like these tech bros, these money bros. And you know what happened?

35:10The voting just swung even further in our favor when she did that. And Sam declared war instantly because Sam's just literally walking around looking for a fight. I don't know if most people know this. Like Sam's walking around just hoping to get disrespected just to unleash a cannibal bass. And so you tweeted back. I mean, you said back to her face. What did you say? I think I said, I think I said some, I think she said, there's some podcast called My First Million that we're up against and there's no way we're going to lose or something like that. And I think I said, there's some lady who has a podcast that just disrespected us or something like that.

35:48Like, you know, if you listen to MFM, don't vote for us. Vote against this snobbish elitism of people who love to smell their own farts. I think that's what I said. and so that's where we're at there's a war we went from 80 chance of victory we had 80 of the votes then she came on this campaign and uh and and said we can't lose these guys started to started to go down a little bit i think right now we're about to lose the webby and you know i don't want to win the webby don't care about winning but i definitely care about losing and so i do not want to lose the Webby. So now we need your help.

36:26Go to MFMPod.com slash Webby. And yeah, you know, just just write a wrong. Are you going to write a wrong? Yeah, don't vote for us. Vote against like people who think they're better than you, which is, you know, her. And by insulting us. And if you're listening to this, she's insulting you indirectly. And so are you going to take that? What we're going to do is when we win, Sean, we're going to get like an award. I think it's an award. I'm going to keep it in the box and I'm going to put it in a bigger box and I'm going to mail it to Vox, which is who has her podcast. Right. It's like part of the...

36:57We don't... We're not putting this webby up on our wall. I'm not even going to open it. We're putting this in her face. Yeah. So we will mail this webby to her because she wanted it so badly. And she will own the webby that says My First Mail hand on it. And... That's what's going to happen. If they invite us to the event to do this, I am 100 % going to ask her to be my date, my plus one. Her plus one. I would love it. I can't go. Sam's going to take her. That's how we're going to do this. If we're allowed to have plus ones, I'm going to ask Kara if she'll accompany me, and we'll hang out. So anyway, do that.

37:32MFMPod.com slash Webby. You'll go straight to the thing, and you guys will see it. It's pretty funny. We had to take her to Petticourt. We didn't start this war, but we will finish it. Do you know this guy named Brian Davis? Brian Davis. Sounds pretty generic name. No, I don't know that name, though. He's a former Duke basketball player, you know, in the 90s. I think it was in the 90s. Oh, OK. Yeah. So something just happened. And it's pretty funny. It happened this morning, I think. And it hasn't played out yet. But it's actually it. I think it's a PR or marketing stunt that might be hilarious or it's a scam.

38:09It's one of the one of the two. But basically, you know, I'm not a sports guy. So so I might get a lot of this wrong here. But Dan Snyder owns, what's it called? The Washington Commanders, formerly the Chiefs, right? Or the Redskins. Yeah, see, I'm already butchering it. But basically, I think he has to sell it, right? Or it's for sale. This guy named Brian Davis. He's a black guy. And so it was in the news because it was saying, this guy offered to buy the team. And he said, I'm willing to give you a billion dollars in cash in the next 24 hours. And then the next seven days, I'll give you the remaining$6 billion.

38:46and I've got proof of funds and all this. And it's a big deal because he's black and so it'd be the first black owner. But I started doing some research on his company. Well, it's also a billion over. So six billion is the offer they had agreed to. He came in over the top, said, I'll give you seven billion. And people are like, is he good for this? Where is he going to get seven billion dollars? He's like, I'll give you a billion dollars within 24 hours of the deal being approved and then the rest in seven days. Yeah, so it's like a crazy thing that he's saying. And I started doing some research on his background.

39:14And so he has this company called Urban Echo Energy, which is a developer of renewable energy assets. Basically, you know, remember like LEED, LEED certified buildings? It was like, you're like green. So I don't even think he, I don't know if he makes the buildings or if he goes in there and like contracts out and like determines, yes, you guys are certified. But his company is called Urban Echo Energy. And he said that he was telling people when he was raising money for this purchase that it's worth$50 billion. And when I hear all these numbers, if you don't know anything about business, you hear this, you're like, wow, Brian, you're killing it.

39:50I think this is 100 % fake. A complete, it's either a scam or a marketing ploy. I don't know which one it is. This won't go through. But the fact that we're talking about Brian Davis and there's all these articles going out there, like how cool is it that this may be the first black-owned NFL team, yada, yada, yada. It's all fake, I think. And it's happening right now. And so I'm very eager to see how this unfolds. But it's, and so I'm like, well, it's him and Christian Leitner. They, they do a lot of real estate, like development in that like Durham area. I think they've been partners for a long time.

40:26Yeah. So, and he's, I think he's had multiple attempts to buy teams, it looks like. So he's, he tried to buy like a soccer team for 33 million, tried to buy the Memphis Grizzlies for 252 million. And so, yeah, I don't really understand this, But what I thought was funny about this... It does not smell right. It does not smell like this, that they would have$7 billion to offer for this, whether it's their own or even the ability to raise that much money. But what I thought was interesting, and I started thinking about this, I'm like, what a brilliant marketing plan just to make an offer that's just absolutely ridiculous.

40:59And it makes the news just for being ridiculous. Could potentially be a great way to get your name out. Because now we're talking about this guy. No one's talked about this guy in a while. uh like i said kanya running for president yeah it's like this is like the last time that i heard about this guy i think was from that like everyone hates christian leitner documentary series um but like no one talks about this guy and i don't know what i'd be curious is what goes in to making an offer for some of these multi-billion dollar things whether it's a company a sports team piece of art a house and this can you just become that troll and just you make it in the news and And you start doing marketing just as the guy who makes offers.

41:38And I just thought, is the barrier to entry that low on making an offer? How does that work? Dude, we could do it right now. Open up Microsoft Word and let's tender an offer for$8 billion. And let's see what happens. Sam and Sean have tendered an offer for$8 billion. We're going to send you 10 in cash now. You send two back. That's how flush we are. so long as everything you know plays out in due diligence as long as we don't see anything sketchy we're in right it's contingent on due diligence including us diligencing our own finances when we find out we don't have it then we're out well because with hampton i'm like all right we need backlinks so we rank and i'm like what's a good way to get backlinks fast and i saw this and i'm like wow all these news sites are covering him that's it i just found my strategy i just have to make a ridiculous offer but i thought this was hilarious that this guy was actually like Like people were taking it seriously on Twitter.

42:33People are like people who aren't in the business world. We're taking it very seriously. And he's getting links from all these news sites saying like NFL may have its first ever black owner. But they don't think like, wait a minute. Let's go. Like, where's this money coming from? Who is this guy? Right. Yeah, that's that's crazy. I wanted to talk about this thing that I noticed happening. And then I saw an article that branded this in a really interesting way. Did we talk about this already? the podcast kayfabe do we already talk about this you mentioned it once what is it so there's a there's this concept that i heard that i like but it's doesn't need to sound as fancy as it is called kayfabe and it's basically like if you did you ever watch wrestling growing up like like the rock and stone cold yeah yeah obviously there's only one answer to that question it's hell yeah stone cold says so yeah of course so in wrestling like the whole premise of wrestling is that there's these like manufactured storylines right so manufactured alliances manufactured rivalries beefs oh he he hit his manager and he kissed his girlfriend and you know that's why we need to fight right and so the creation and and maintenance of these storylines is called kayfabe It's basically like, I don't know why it needed its own K-A-Y-F-A-B-E.

43:53And I don't know why it needed its own word. It's also could just be called like acting or storylines. But it's basically saying like, you know, let's pull up the exact definition. But it's basically the fact or convention of presenting stage performances as genuine or authentic. So it's basically take a stage performance, make it genuine or authentic. This is happening all the time on TikTok right now. And I find it very, very interesting. So if you go on TikTok, you'll often see somebody like there. It used to be this, like I'm holding up my phone and I'm talking to my phone. And let's say I'm giving advice.

44:28I could say, you know, the thing you got to do about blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, that's cool. But how can we make that seem a little more? How can we make myself seem more authoritative? Well, one thing people are doing is they're buying this mic and they're just putting it on their desk. And then they're looking to the side like they're talking to someone else. and there's no podcast there's no others there's no someone else there's no podcast they simply bought a podcast so podcast microphone sales are going up because people want on tiktok to look like a thought leader it's like a podcast is a new like talk and the way that you make the ted talk look legit you know so so why can i give this advice or say this thing so i saw these two women doing this and it's like all a joke though it's like women giving it's like they call it the alpha female.

45:14And it's like, you know, apparently there was this guy who was like, look, and he was actually being serious. He goes, look, if you're 25 and you can't afford a Lamborghini yet, you're doing it wrong. And I think it's just ridiculous how wrong you are. If you can't, you're just lazy. And so these two women now have the alpha female and they're just like giving horrible advice, you know, back and forth. And so many people have been taking them seriously and it's 100 % fake. Yeah, this is exactly what's going on. And there's a whole bunch of different versions of this. So there's um another popular thing you see on tiktok is somebody like just doing their kind of morning routine or their night routine like their skincare routine they're like kind of brushing on makeup while they're talking or they're like you know like doing the like thing where they're wiping off makeup and then they're like washing their face while recording this it's like oh so vulnerable girl next door like you know so authentic just uh and it's like no she put the camera there, clicked record, and then started doing this to make it like, look like I'm not trying.

46:13I'm just, I'm just going through my nightly routine. I'm just talking off the top of my head here, but it comes across as not like somebody kind of marketing to you or, um, sort of like presenting to you, but like you're being let in. And I find this so fascinating that people are doing this and you see this everywhere. And it's like the opposite of Instagram in a way, like for Instagram, the meta of that was like, go do the thing where you rent the private jet for 30 minutes on the runway and take the photos or like, you know, go hold the bag and take the photo and then go return it at Louis Vuitton or whatever, right?

46:50Like people would fake status doing that. And in TikTok, they fake status doing a completely different thing. Sometimes it's like with this podcast thing. Sometimes it's with like pretending to be just doing their chores and talking or whatever it is and i find this really really really interesting because it's like it's effective it's like low-key very like sneaky what's going on and um and it tells you a lot about how how people work that this actually works you know it's like reveals a lot about psychology that this that this actually works so what's an example of one uh well i just gave you two right like that yeah give me another one for example um another one would be what so another one would be like the podcaster ones what are they saying are they giving like money advice so one of the podcast ones for example so yeah some of our business advice but one of them was this girl promoting her only fans so what she was doing was she goes viral because she's on a podcast as she says like a fake she's a fake guest she's a fake guest and she goes i yeah this whatever earmuffs for the kids in the car if you're if you're there but um you know i make my man six times a day once in the morning once and she says this thing and then the comments go nuts on tiktok like like women hate it guys love it but the comment section goes nuts because she said this kind of outrageous thing and somebody was like hey anybody got a link to the full podcast maybe this was taken out of context there is no full podcast oh my it's just this girl saying something that's going to get her a bunch of like traffic on TikTok because then you click her profile and you go to her OnlyFans and you subscribe.

48:28And that's all she was trying to do is promote her OnlyFans this way. And I thought, wow, like this, like five years ago, I couldn't even like, if I told you the story, but like, what is TikTok? Why would anybody fake being on a podcast, being on a podcast is like the dorkiest thing of all time. And what is OnlyFans? But this person is probably making, I don't know, 50k a month on their OnlyVans. And this is their main marketing strategy. And that's one of the things I love and hate about marketing is that marketing is this never-ending game that's always changing. There's always a new metagame to be playing.

49:03And the winners of it get really, really rich. But it's also exhausting because you got to stay up on the latest thing. And it also shows you when you have a marketing thing that's working, like juice it because it's not going to work for forever and uh the game will the game will shift so when you have it working don't take that lightly dude i remember as a kid growing up in missouri there was basically zach zach was the cool guy in my class he was my friend and he was cool because when we were 14 you could kind of see that he had abs and it was like oh man zach's got abs and zach like cuts his hair cool and he wears one of those like puka shell like necklaces that's cool oh he's got vans on too like that's so sick zach's awesome i want to be like zach and then a step above that was like blink 182 it was like oh man blink 182 like there's these guys in like southern california and all they do is skateboard and surf and eat corn dogs and play music like how cool is that and i remember being a kid and meeting someone inappropriate things and they wear hurley like what is hurley and i remember like it was basically like three inspirations of like it was like zach blink 182 and like you know tony hawk basically was like the people who i thought were cool and uh i remember even meeting someone i lived in missouri i met someone from california i'd never been like at that time i never basically been to florida and missouri i met a guy from california and i'm like do you know some 41 like are you friends with them like how's that work like you know i just thought that like this was this other world and i would if they were wearing vans and like high white socks i would like ask for a picture if they had long hair i would ask for a picture i'm like it's like i'm meeting an alien like you are famous just because you live in california my fear is for my future kids them growing up this like sphere of influence has just gotten incredibly small because instead of like the mediocre zach of the world there's now like i am now comparing myself to the thousand hot kids who i'm flipping through on the top 0.1 % zacks of every town of every town it's right now i see them yeah yeah there was a clear separation of there's zach and then there's blank 182 and i can never be a blank 182 but i could probably be a zach and that's pretty cool now i just see all these hot people on there they all can dance they're all funny their teeth is perfect in actuality they're probably 20 the same thing as like movies they're probably 25 year olds who like i think that they're only 17 uh you know like how like you'd have like totally like lindsey lohan was playing he's like dude you're like 26 and have fake boobs how are you going to be playing the 16 year old right you know what i mean like it's like that same thing and i and i'm like i've scrolled through tiktok and i'm like if you're 16 right now this is the worst thing on earth because you are comparing yourself to the 0.1 percent of the whole country not just like the big man on campus the one big man on campus you know who you kind of have a shot of becoming dude that is so that is so true that is so true that resonates so much with me i had the same thing you know sixth grade seventh grade whatever casey prisman coolest kid on coolest kid i knew like if you said what is the peak of what cool could be casey prisman like uh you know he was cool because he had the nikes he french kissed a girl once and I was like, holy shit.

52:20I remember going home and being like, wow, I'm so far behind the world right now. And that's how – but he was the cool kid. He was the only one to compare to. You're right. Now, if I go on TikTok, I'm 35 years old now. And if I go on TikTok, TikTok can make you feel very small. So can Instagram. These social networks can make you feel very small because, oh, you think you're funny? Here's somebody being fucking hilarious. You think you're cute? Here's someone gorgeous. you think you're talented watch this dance right like and that's swipe swipe swipe better than me better than me better than me happier than me more fulfilled than me richer than me whatever it is right like whatever your insecurity is the algorithm's like well i swipe to it now and i'm like someone will just be like doing a selfie i'm like wow look at their countertops like that's a huge kitchen like or like they'll be doing a thing in a car and i'm like wait does that headrest say Ferrari?

53:16How is this guy have a Ferrari? You know what I mean? It's just like it's consumerism times a thousand of what we are used to. You know what I mean? Before, it was like only if I went to the mall, I would see hot naked Abercrombie dudes where they're on the ads. Now, it's just like every single time and it's the best of the best constantly and it freaks me out. Yeah, exactly. You could feel like a tiny little amoeba compared to this universe of awesome people doing awesome things, living these awesome, perfect lives. And that's like a WMD for the ego, especially like a teenage ego. I can't even imagine that.

53:58Yeah, that's pretty scary. No, I was thinking about that because I've got friends that have 12-year-olds and they'll tell me stories about how they're sad and shit. And I'm like, yeah, I can see that. This is horrible. This is absolutely horrible because like before when I was a kid, there was just, there was like, if there's like, if Blink-182 was a 10 and I know I can never become that, but then Zach's like the four and I'm a two. So it's like, all right, I can close that gap. Maybe if I do enough sit-ups. Now it's just nine, nine, nine, nine, nine. Everyone's a nine. And I don't know how anyone can compete with that.

54:31And so I'm freaked out about that a little bit. Whenever I go through TikTok, I just, you're better than me. You're better than me. You're better than me. It's just constantly that. They need to rename the For You page to the better than you page. Yeah, or just fuck you.

54:47It's still F you, but now it's fuck you.

54:55That's amazing. That's it. That's the end of the pod. All right. Before we go, ladies and gentlemen, we got a little celebration. And I say ladies and gentlemen because I'm talking about the gentleman's agreement and the ladies understanding. We have hit 200 ,000 subscribers on YouTube. Sam and I promised that we would kiss mouth to mouth at a million. We do intend to renege on that as soon as it happens. But if you want to see us have to renege on that agreement, we will. We will do it when we get there. But Sam, 200K, that's pretty awesome. People should go and do what to get us to 300K? Yes.

55:32The reason why it got to 200K, aside from us being good at this, I think, is we started this at 110, 120, I forget. And we came up with this thing called the Gentleman's Agreement, which basically means all the content on YouTube is free, except there's one channel, which is the channel you're watching right now. It's not free. And it's called the Gentleman's Agreement because we can't be there to make sure that you pay your debt. You just have to do it. If it's a ladies understanding, ladies understanding the Gentleman's Agreement, which means you now owe us because this content is not free. And the way that you pay your debt is you have to click subscribe on YouTube.

56:06That's it. It's that easy. We're working for you, but you owe us. And so you have to pay your debt and just click subscribe. And that is the gentleman's agreement, the lady's understanding. And so far, it's been very effective. Clearly, everyone has done it. Go to YouTube, type in My First Million, click subscribe, turn on notifications. You know, the pod is much better on YouTube. You should just start listening to it. Oh, and we have to give out our premium. I don't know if you saw, but last time we did this, we did a hilarious thing where we said, use the word premium in your comment and we will give YouTube premium to one person.

56:40So let's do that now. Let's pull up, uh, let's pull up somebody here and we will give them YouTube premium. Um, right now. I, I, I think we should do this every episode. It's going to be a little costly, but, uh, but I think we got to do it. Um, all right. So I'm on the acquired one. I'm just gonna read you a couple of these. this was a premium episode gents keep it up somebody goes this show had I don't know I must say some premium insights guys great episode somebody just kept spelling the word premium over and over again simply premium content premium episode even more premium guests keep it up guys have a premium Easter I think we got to give it to this guy who wished us a premium who's that person his name is famous Astologu.

57:31So I'm going to comment on here that he should slide into our DMs. We will pay for this guy's YouTube premium. And in this episode, we'll do the same. In the comments, whoever comes up with the funniest use of premium will get free YouTube premium so you can listen ad-free and you can lock your phone and listen to this in the background. And that's it. That's the episode.

58:12All right, this episode is brought to you by Mercury. They are the finance platform of choice for over 200 ,000 companies. Shouldn't be surprised because I use it myself for not one, not two, but I have eight different Mercury accounts. I have seven for different companies that I'm a part of, and then I have my own personal account because now they have personal banking, which is a really cool feature. I highly, highly recommend it. Like I said, I use it myself. And the reason why is because the way that Mercury works is beautiful. It's very intuitive. And you could tell that it's actually made by a startup founder.

58:39It's an entrepreneur. You could tell it's made by somebody who used other banking products in the past and didn't like all the different rough edges and annoyances and decided to actually fix it himself. And really any type of entrepreneur you are, let's say you're an agency. Well, one of the things every agency has to do is be able to send invoices, easily create them, send them to customers and stay current on your balances with all your customers. Well, you can do that inside Mercury. And so I think that Mercury is great. Highly recommend you check it out. And thank you for sponsoring the show.
