Drinking habits as parents, children's books & when your toddler calls you by your first name...

33:51No, I think I'm good. I think we're good with this topic. I think we hit weather territory, as I mentioned before. People from Vancouver can comment Vancouver. Edmund, Emily. Okay. Good one. Very good one. What? I was going Daniel. Daniel? Edmund's a boy. Sorry. Edmund is kind of a boy. I definitely agree with that. All right, we've got a follow-up question for the video game topic that we were discussing. First, first, first on that before we get into it. I read some of the comments. Me too. I just responded to one and said, found a gamer. Like I'm fully ratioed in these clips. Like the - What does ratioed mean?

34:32Like someone will be like, you know. I know what ratio means, but like what do you mean? Like people are coming in and they're saying my take is completely missing the mark. And there'll be, you know, one I looked at had like 56 likes. And then we had someone getting in there defending me and it had two likes. It was like, it's sad that this guy can't appreciate video games anymore. and the comment that replied to was something along the lines of he's not saying he doesn't like video games anymore he's saying there's things he now likes more than video games and appreciates more which is exactly what i was saying i like video games there's just a lot more important things in my life than video games now it's actually very positive it's not depressing it's the opposite i've found more fulfilling things nope nope you know what i'd like to do double down on it i truly double down quadruple down guys yes well i the comment i saw was like and can a woman knock and so you're saying women can't go to the spa and i was like dude do you have critical thinking skills like but do i need to explain to you the difference between mind-numbing video games and self-care at the spa but also i saw something like like a like it should be a spa day which i liked it's like twice a year you get an eight-hour gaming session i I thought that was a fun concept.

35:58But this, like, you lost me when you tried to compare the two that aren't comparable. Yeah. So anyways, Dan. All right. This is the question. Where does drinking after work with your children present fall on this scale? Is it okay behavior? I'd like to hear your views. Okay. so i would just like to open the floor initially by saying one i don't actually have a thought to say to begin i can people have such varying varying takes and preferences on drinking so out of the gates like this is a hard one this is a hard one to go after because like on one end like i feel like we know a lot of people and have a lot of friends that just either aren't drinkers And then on the other end of the spectrum, we have friends that are love to have a good time.

36:54And so like it feels like no matter what we say here, inherently you're going to isolate someone which sucks. So why don't we say what we do? And well, no, but I also think it's important on that note to say that we've ebbed and flowed with it. Like right now, I would say we're on a scale of one to 10. The amount of alcohol we're consuming is a one. You're probably a 0.5 and I'm probably a one. Yeah, one to two. I would say I'm a one to two. Yeah, like if we go to a birthday dinner or we go to an event or something, we might drink then. But other than that, like we're just not drinking right now.

37:32Well, I was asked last night how much I'm drinking. And I said one to two drinks a week. So wherever that fits on the scale. yeah i would say if that i would say you're doing that if that yeah but then friday after the race like that's going to be a celebration day yeah and well but our kids aren't there so you don't have to wake up saturday morning yeah but here's the thing whenever we first had tate and whenever you first have rocky and i think this is a common thing like you it's the most um overwhelming like beautiful beautiful and amazing but a common thread that we had with all of our friends we were talking to is like i'll have a glass of wine at night because at the end of the day you're just like whoa like that was a lot and i don't want to say like don't do that because i know a lot of people do that and we did that so that's a very and i'm it's not going to say it's normal but i'm going to say that would be normal for us um but now to the question but now to the question yeah i think that our rule is like you have a dd yeah but that's a figure of speech in this in this regard so you take it honey honey take it away explain the rdd method yeah i think that that um our look here is when we're looking at or our you know our approach thank you very much our approach here i'm the one that had a kid why are you losing your thoughts our approach here is when you're like when you're looking after the kids one person should always be able to operate a vehicle legally because what if what if one wakes up in the middle of the night and we need to go to the hospital fever you never know yes i totally agree on that well you have to prepare for the worst case yeah i think that's totally valid but i also think like there's a pretty good parallel between like can you operate a vehicle and can you watch a kid so i think like while that's the you know the the outlier situation that's going to happen right like on a more consistent basis Like if you're, if you don't have good attention on the kid, like, you know, that's like.

39:38Totally. You get what I'm trying to say here? I do. And here's where I say you and I take it a step further now has been water. Like you have to be fully alert and fully attentive and on when the water. There's just a lot of risk in the house. Whether you're talking about stairs or whether you're talking about them getting under the sink or whether you're talking about water or the toilet or so on and so forth. And so, yeah, we think it's very important that one person is in a state that a responsible state. And what a great analogy. Analogy isn't necessarily the word I'm looking for, but like what a great parallel.

40:20A barometer. Yeah. What a great barometer to use is like, can you legally operate a vehicle? Because if you can legally operate a vehicle, then that's a great benchmark for can you watch a kid? And if you can't legally operate a vehicle, that probably is a pretty good benchmark to how efficiently can you monitor your child. Yeah, I would agree with that. So that would be our take on it. I would love to hear y 'all's take on it. Tell us in the comments because as you can tell, one thing I think we do a really good job of is comment, bringing the comments into the conversation. Yeah, it's the most fun thing.

40:55Yeah, tudos to Jules for that. Oh, thanks. All right. pop culture 818 tequila sponsors weddings on 818 which is like really cool so basically what they would do there was no contracts no required deliverables no expectation to post but they would do 818 tequila bars they would do custom cocktail menus branded bar decor and touch points throughout many bottles used as table numbers like this is a really cute idea and it's an example of like the U.S. Open branding their own drink. But do you know what else this reminds me of? The sorority sponsorships? No. Did you see Maroon 5 pop up at weddings for, what was that song?

41:37Sugar. Sugar. And their music video was them driving around surprising brides and grooms at their weddings playing the song. Was it real or not? I don't know. In my mind, it was. I didn't see it, so no take on if it's real. Based off your face wasn't real. I mean, just like in what world could that be real? Right. Okay. Surprising them at the wedding. But didn't Kendall Jenner do this also at colleges? She definitely was sponsoring some like college parties. But essentially for the 818 wedding sponsorship, they like put a call out and you applied to it. And then they like selected brides and grooms to sponsor.

42:17I think that this is just like another phenomenal example of brands finding a way to really stand out. And in today's day and age, what that really means is how can they create a moment that is then shared organically on social media? And like the power of the sorority sponsorships is that. And now the power of these wedding sponsorships, if done the right way, is like you just see it everywhere. because the guests are there and they want to show it. They want to show, like everyone loves to show the wedding that they're at. And if the brand can create a unique experience, I grade this a 10 out of 10.

43:00Not having seen what they did. Right. Did you watch Acquired's video on talking about some of her partnerships she did? No. Me neither. I just was wondering if anybody watched it because I'm sure her insight, the way she did that was probably very thoughtful. Because then the question, gosh darn it. I guarantee you the delivery people have called me and we missed the delivery again. I want to cry. I keep missing our outdoor delivery. It's my third time I've scheduled it. If I have a missed call from them, I'm going to die. I don't yet. I have to turn my phone on. The window is now. Sorry, I have to have my phone on loud.

43:36I never do this. But you checking your phone just reminded me of this. Okay. I'm so supportive of that. I also can't believe this is a very flawed delivery situation that we just got a call. Like, you missed the call. You missed one call and they're not dropping the product off. I know. I just don't understand them not knocking on the door. Maria was like I was standing inside. Like, it... Yeah. Yeah, I know. It makes actually no sense that they're at the location. It's less efficient for them to leave. You not answering the call. Far less efficient for them to leave. I agree. Okay. So. But also with the Apple new feature on screening unknown numbers, the chance that you don't even see it is very high.

44:19I would, I do not answer an unknown number either. It's ridiculous. But today I will be answering one from 1030 to 130. All right. Let me ask you this because I, I think that the obvious caveat here or the pushback is going to be like, wait, do you really want your wedding to be sponsored? Yeah. I think people do. If it comes to like cutting, helping cut costs, making a good time for people. I think it's like everyone wins here. But let me ask you, for you and I's wedding, what would be an ideal wedding sponsor? To me, it's things that are value additive to the experience. I wouldn't want to go to a wedding and have it feel like an advertisement.

44:57I would want to go to a wedding and have there be amazing experiences that elevate the night and make it more fun. And so anything that makes the night more fun, anything that's special, I'm all for it. Anything that like feels like an ad. See, I'm getting a hard no. What do I do? Answer it. Yes. It's Metropolitan. Hello.

45:21Hi. Are you on your phone? Wait, sorry. One second. I can't hear him. What? Ten minutes away. Okay, great. Thank you so much. Okay, see you soon. Bye. how about that for for timing timing how about that yeah okay now i'm just gonna have to call diana h this isn't a phone time for you honey that's absurd that i can't check my phone when you're on your phone like that is and i know the listener is going to be on my side there what do you want to do hi diana the guys delivering the chairs are going to be there in about five to 10 minutes. But remember, the doorbell won't work. So if you could just be up there to see them, that would be amazing.

46:11Thank you, Diana. Okay, bye. I'm so excited that I don't have to reschedule again. That was a 2 a.m. time prediction moment. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. You're psychic. So I'm down for this. What I love about this 818 is there's no posting requirements. Like it doesn't matter, but it's a fun, it makes the experience more fun. So I'm down to go to a wedding like that. Yeah. No, I think it's really fun. Why do I think DoorDash would be a fun wedding sponsor? It would, it's not. Do you know where DoorDash is the perfect wedding sponsor? Where? Late night snacks. Late night food. Because I don't know if I've said this on the podcast before, but my favorite part of a wedding is the late night food.

46:55Burgers with fries. When they bring out the French fries. Do you know why? I mean, because you want the food, but I think it's like really humanizing. Okay, explain that. Like weddings are so like up here and like real life is so like over here and it's just like the closest thing to real life that you have. I also find the main courses in a wedding, like they often underwhelm. Like you're just kind of getting your salmon and your chicken or your short rib and it's like, nah, that's not really what anyone wants. so at our wedding I don't know if me and my friends we had a pool day on Sunday and my friends just kind of stopped by in slots and it was honestly amazing and we sat out there the whole day and hung out with them and all of them I was talking to about our wedding what we've landed on I don't even think I've told you this you have not I overheard whispers of a wedding in the background okay so it is seated you do you do get your table card and it does tell you where you're sitting because we have so many friends from so many walks of life san francisco la new york oklahoma vancouver austin that i want to do some really fun pairings okay and i want to set up some dates of some people that i think will get along really well by dates i mean couple dates right yeah like i want to put alex cost with sydney or something random i don't know okay caroline i have really good plans for her okay okay so you seat them there but then you're getting fried chicken in french fry baskets and fried pickles and like it's very informal yes but it is seated because we do need to make sure people meet each other yes i'm gonna take it a level farther talking cards okay i'm gonna get everybody a menu with a little bit of a brief on the person in front of them sponsored by duolingo exactly Exactly.

48:49No, Minted. Minted. Sponsored by Minted. Sponsored by Minted. Okay, perfect. Okay, I'm so excited. You guys know because we just talked about this on the pod, but Harrison and I are talking all about different types of education paths that are offered. Even though we don't have a school-aged kid yet, we've been thinking about this stuff since before Tate was even born. For example, how do we want our kids to learn? What environment sets them up for success? and what would work best for our family. And what's been eye-opening is realizing there are new options we didn't even realize existed until recently, like K-12 powered online schools.

49:28K-12 powered online schools are tuition-free, accredited, and offered as online public education from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. What I love about this is that the curriculum supports your child's individual interests and goals. They aren't just learning in a vacuum. They have access to extracurricular activities to connect with peers and explore new passions, all from an online setting that works for your family, whether that's at home or wherever you have access to the Internet. Plus, you're not doing this alone. K-12's dedicated teachers are specially trained in virtual instruction, providing that crucial real-time support your student needs in order to thrive.

50:07They've been leading the online education space for 25-plus years, and they now have served 3 million students. See how K-12 powered schools can help your child thrive this fall or whenever the time is right. Enroll online today at k12.com slash two parents. That's the letter K, the number 12.com slash two parents. k12.com slash two parents. I'm really, I'll tell you guys, I saw this video the other day. It was this girl making a video in her car. She's like, watch out, I'm awake. And she was like making espresso in her car. And I was thinking, watch out because I've been doing two things. Number one, I've been studying pairings of clothes because I get a lot of people don't like my outfits and I'm welcome.

50:49I'll accept that feedback. I will. They like this one today. So stop looking at me like that. I will accept feedback when it comes to clothes. I will not accept feedback when it comes to parenting. Right. Well, in some regards, I will. But another area where I'm getting really excited is the wedding. Why do you think people like this outfit? I don't know. I think the stripe like you're tall so stripes even they elongate your legs okay and it's like a fun pattern in one place okay and then what did she do with the thing that isn't the fun pattern neutralized it thank you yeah I find I find that that is a key to a good outfit is like when you have a statement piece whether it's the shirt or the shorts or the pants that you don't um you don't clash it with, like you have great pants on.

51:46Those are awesome pants. Don't clash against those pants. Like you need to pull one of those four colors. And if you're not pulling one of those four colors, you got to go white. And you got to go no pattern. I wore a black top with this in Vancouver and I came out to Harrison and I was like, something's not right. I was like, what do I do with the top? And he was like, you could consider white. So I went and got my white top and I was like, you are correct. That's great. Because what I'm working on is my colors. Because I love color and pattern and I need to lean into that, but I don't need to do it on the top and the bottom and the shoes and the purse.

52:20It doesn't all need to be like, you know, a disaster. Okay. The coolest. Oh, Dyson has created a$499 toothbrush. And the internet has some thoughts on that. What's the internet saying? Just like$499 for a toothbrush sounds a lot. So I get it. I get that. Sticker shock. Huge sticker shock. Okay. Huge sticker shock. Now here, here's the other side of the equation. All right. If we're going to talk about where we want to splurge and I'm a 99 cent toothbrush guy, but am I going to look into this? Yes. And here's why. And I've, I've, I've saw, I saw this somewhere, don't know where, but it really landed with me.

53:05if something touches your body twice a day, it's worth paying up for. So when you look at things like your mattress, when you look at things like your sheets, when you look at things like your coffee maker, those are things where you're getting, when you actually look at them on a per use basis, the numbers can make sense. So if we're going to talk about, let's say this, this um this toothbrush lasts for two years because my dyson fan has lasted for eight years at this point my blow dryer is incredible you are looking at 25 cents a goose it is kind of crazy i that that the toothbrush was shocking to me but i bought the blow dryer which i use less than i would the toothbrush i don't know how much you looked into the toothbrush alex i forgot this the craziest part there's a camera in the toothbrush and it's ai enabled and it's shooting jets of um mouthwash through your like through the cracks oh i'm probably buying it now on that um and it and it's like it's like flossing for you while you while you brush sorry yeah we didn't clarify why it's five hundred dollars so it's not a regular toothbrush it actually like does advanced cleaning and so like am i gonna get it i i don't know i'm now getting it am i gonna consider it because 500 bucks that is a ton of money am i gonna consider it yes so given given how much i'll use it um area other areas where i think it's important like i am really i'm really interested in this because for example i bought a new fall purse right i think it was around 400 I was so excited to get it.

54:54It's from Stott. It's blue. It's suede. It's like awesome, okay? But I'm not going to carry that nearly all day, every day. This toothbrush, I would use twice. And where I'm thinking about it further is like, I'm not the best at going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, but this would solve that for me a lot. And like when it comes to buying your tennis shoes, which you wear every day and like I wear every day, I don't really think twice about these things. But recognizing like that is a ton of money. That is a splurge. And it is by no means necessary. Like I, for the last 20 plus years, used the 99 cent toothbrush.

55:32But it's interesting to think about. I understand both sides of it. Me too. But it's interesting to think about where I am okay spending it versus where I would balk at the price. Yeah. That's very fascinating to me. Huh. What do you think, Jules? I would consider it if it cut my teeth brushing time down. So that's the thing that I'm looking for. But in theory, it does because you don't need to floss. Jules isn't flossing anyways, just based on that face. Flossing sucks. I hate brushing my teeth. I brush my teeth. I hate brushing my teeth. Here's what I'll go as far as saying. All right, I'm going to bring this all together.

56:11If you're Christmas gifts, if you're spending 500 bucks on Christmas gifts, this is a very good gift yeah that's how i'm gonna bring it together can somebody remind me that when christmas rolls around yes if that's your price point i get that's a very high price point for gifts if that's your price point i think it's a very good gift i okay so initially when you brought up this topic i was like that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard i'm not buying a 500 toothbrush but the two things that have really set me over the edge number one you did make me think if I'm touching it twice a day I should invest in it and number two I didn't know it had AI in there and it was going to be like flossing my teeth for me I think people are going to hate that I'm going to get it AI in your mouth like where is an AI going to be AI in your mouth I'm down for it if it's flossing my teeth stop the AI in my mouth no I'm going to get the toothbrush I think I think it's just going to give you answers when you're brushing answers for what life my cozy earth towels arrived today oh good very exciting.

57:14Cozy Earth Tows arrived and our outdoor furniture is arriving. It's going to be Stripe City though. I am over striping it, but I don't care. Don't care. There's a bro tax that's happening. Gym bros are getting their own pink tax. Do you know what pink tax is? Jules explained it to me, so now I know. The example would be there's two water bottles. One's pink, one's pink with glitter. The pink with glitter one costs more. One's black, one's pink with glitter. One's black, one's pink with glitter. The one that's pink with glitter costs more, and that's the pink tax. So Babybel introduced Babybel Pro, which has five grams of protein and regular Babybel has 4.2 grams of protein.

57:51And this has a bit of an upcharge. Okay. So they're just like, they're getting the bros. Can I go? Yeah.

58:01One, I fully agree that this is happening. Okay. Okay. Protein has been unlocked as the key to the bros heart. on the upcharge what i will say from my consumer packaged goods experience is there is a lot of merit to the upcharge protein is very expensive protein is more expensive than pretty much than most other ingredients and so if something does have 20 more protein you you should expect it to cost to cost more but that's supply and demand is protein

58:42my ears ringing no no like ow is but hold on it's supply it's supply and demand so is protein an upcharge now to you guys or is it costing you more to buy protein because somebody in the protein wheelhouse over here got wind that it was on the rise and so they're like we're going to charge more for it no commodity it's it's just it's it's structure like obviously demand dynamics have a lot to do with with pricing of things so you can't take that for granted but in in the grand scheme of things it's a lot more expensive to produce than things on the other end of the spectrum like rice okay right like rice and oats which are very very cheap to produce and obviously there's varying types of proteins whether you're talking about growing chickens growing chickens breeding chickens raising chickens there's just a lot more that goes into that okay so what is the price difference what is this Babybel new protein drink cost not a drink it's the Babybel cheese oh I didn't come prepared with the new price okay wait hold on How are they adding protein into cheese?

59:59I'm guessing they're processing it differently. I don't know this. We're not in the cheese business. I don't know the food science behind it. Okay. Well, do you know what I saw on this? Making it more dense, taking out some of the water. I have no idea. Maybe it's ever so slightly larger, but I'm thinking skim milk versus whole milk has different nutrients in it. Totally. So they're just like making it slightly differently, but maybe it's bigger or maybe it's smaller, that kind of thing. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That makes sense. Maybe it's bigger. Maybe. Now, on this pink tax, I did see a mom go to the store and she bought her son and her daughter.

1:00:42Maybe they were twins, but it was a one-to-one comparable of shorts. The girls' shorts were shorter, right, which was a whole other topic in and of itself. but they cost more so it was less fabric but they cost more that's pink tax that's the pink tax so that's where it's different because there you're talking about a tax true to like due to you know the marketing and like you're talking about selling the same product but you can take advantage of yes okay that's the point yes no no but but what i'm saying where it's different than the bro tax is the bro tax actually costs more to produce that's where it's different it costs more to have more protein in in your cheese um a point for the bro tax yeah okay like if you're adding whey protein into something cut that i'm just kidding it's good it costs more so we're adding more value for the bros perfect and we're charging them more ah but for the girls we're doing the same thing taking fabric away yeah we cannot be doing that I'm really glad you came around on that because that was coming out of my mouth it was feeling mansplaining and I was like no no no it's different let me finish but it's not fair but the pink tax is not fair because it's a black water bottle and a pink water bottle and the pink one cost more exactly because they know more people are going to want it yeah exactly and I would assume this is not a statistic but I'm just guessing women are more consumers than boys.

1:02:18That is a statistic. Okay. Proven. A stat. All right. This is probably my favorite thing on the docket today. The carrier Pidge app. So it's a new app blowing up where you can send your text messages via virtual carrier pigeon. Okay. So they've got 75 ,000 users since April, and they're about to get one more today, effective immediately after this. The pigeon flies at 110 miles per hour and there's a 0.2 % chance your message literally dies or gets lost mid-flight because that's what used to happen back in the day. This is the best thing. This is the best thing ever. The founder's first text took nine hours to go from New York to a friend in Chicago.

1:03:02People are so fried on notification that friction maxing is a whole new movement. Dumb phone, social media blocking hardware, and now there's a slow messaging apps. Some things are better when they're worse. This is, I'm obsessed with this. You know where this is a really, really, really fun use case for me? What? Well, I just, I hate what's about to come out of my mouth. But like, obviously using this in Austin isn't going to work for us. Like using this in the city you live in isn't going to work. Like, hey, do you want to do dinner tonight? Yes. What I love about this is communicating with, is for communicating in friends with, in other cities.

1:03:43well it's perfect for our iceberg because our iceberg texts that we send exactly these are long we're like detailing out and then you sit down i sit down on sunday night and i read our icebergs and i'm like okay shannon's doing this olivia's doing this this is awesome but your friends that you're texting all day every day just being like like i just texted tony and i was like i want to get colorful true religion genes like i don't need to snail mail that yeah Yeah, set a different way. Okay. Texting for friends, communicating with friends that don't live in your same city, like I think there's a big gap in, I think that texting, texting isn't the optimal form of communication for people, for friends who live in a different city than you.

1:04:31Long story short. Correct, because you can't. It gets lost in the sauce. And doing something like this, which is like making an event. More unique, more special. That's why I love it. Thank you. Yes. Butchered the first half. You'd make it longer because you would know they're not going to reply to you for as long as it takes the pigeon to get there. If it takes nine hours to get from New York to Chicago, it's going to take nine hours for it to get back. Yeah. I am so obsessed with this. But I like the idea of friction maxing. Totally. Just like what are other things that are better when they're worse?

1:05:03I think cameras are better when they're worse. I love a grainy old school looking photo. Love both. Yeah, love both. Love both. What else is better when it's worse? You know what? Movie theater popcorn. It's just better when it's worse. So who wants to top that? That was a good one. Better when it's worse. The only thing I was coming to is like homemade. Yes, yes, Jules. Yes. Yeah, like homemade cookies versus package. You're crackers. What? Crackers. like goldfish oh there's for you what you're thinking worse for you they're better when goldfish is like the crap of crap when you look at the ingredients in there but like they're the tastiest cracker in the world this is not an anti-goldfish podcast i don't know have you looked at the ingredients on them no because i can't have well is there any real cheese in them i probably can't probably is it like they're rough does it even say contains milk or cheese?

1:06:08Probably not. Because Oreos, here's a crazy one. I can have Oreos. Yeah, they're vegan. Yeah, they should not be dairy-free and they are. You'd think there'd be some milk in there. Nope. No. No, no. Where are we at? Things that are better for you when they're worse. Well, so on this friction maxing, the biggest one's going to be the phone. The less the phone can do, the better. Bars. You're using ingredients. You're taking this a different way. no no no what what do you think i mean by that that a dive bar is better than a club but that's actually the right thing right literally what i'm saying is like someone can create a new fancy sports bar right and put all this money into it but nothing beats good old dawn's depot no that's that not it like there's no friction like i'm trying to think of the friction involved there.

1:07:06Well, that's friction maxing. Oh, she's right. Okay. Versus. Just things that are better when it's worse. You didn't ask for friction maxing. Okay, sorry. So I was at, we were at Hannah's birthday dinner and there was a girl named Ellie there who's adorable and she's really good at reading charts, birth charts. And I gave her my birth chart and she was reading it and she was like, do you have a creative side to you? Like my grandma loved to paint and do art. And I was like, yeah, I like to draw. Like I like to rap. like wrapping me music gave was like an event for me she's like you should lean into that more so i've ordered art supplies and i'm going to be doing more coloring and art uh writing letters versus sending emails but that's the app not really it's that's the digital version of the app you got to give us another one no i'm taking i'm taking the real life version here's some examples from the internet deleting saved credit card numbers from shopping apps so that you're creating friction for yourself in making the purchase and they want us to do that i get how you're creating friction there but how are you how are you making how how does that fit better than work you're not over consuming and spending okay there you go so then i then i'm annoyed that's Actually, I'm going to have to go downstairs and get the card.

1:08:28Exactly. And that at the end of the day would be better for you. Okay. And then I'm going to get out of it and I'm not going to buy it. Right. Right. Taking notes by hand in a meeting. I still do that. No, I think that's great. I think that that is probably the perfect example of it because there's more friction. It's harder to do than just typing it or recording it. But I'm sure that your memory recall is much better when you write versus when you type. That's true. So sorry. Friction maxing and things that are better when they're worse, i.e. this app, is basically saying there's too much friction with our notification.

1:09:03We have an influx of notifications. So the way we're going to stop that is we're going to use this app. There's too much overwhelm from notifications. So how do we make something harder? Old school. So that it's better. So basically do things the old way. Yeah. Okay. Got it. This is kind of the opposite of like that convenience tax that we talked about of like we can, there's so much we can pay for to make things more convenient, which also brings more overwhelm into our lives probably. So this is saying do not buy Wi-Fi on the flight. Yeah, make the flight harder for you. I'll just take a book.

1:09:42Okay. Exactly. That's exactly it. Okay. Okay. Okay. We need to discuss. Okay. the chairs are set up. Do they not look good? We will put a photo on screen. Do not do this to me. Can you send me the photo now? Yep, I'll send it to you right now so you know what we're talking about. Okay, what's the problem? Why do you don't like them? I don't get it. Okay. I don't get it. What are you not getting? like these look just pretty like pretty standard average chairs to me like i don't think we needed to order them from where we ordered them from we need to go investigate the quality irl where i think this photo is misleading these are beautiful they will last forever and i bet that's a very luscious cushion.

1:10:38I love them. They just feel like they were three times more expensive than they needed to be. Five times more expensive than they needed to be. We need to go boots on the ground and get them. Yeah. You cannot judge off this photo. Yeah, you need to see how you like them because the difference could be in quality. You cannot skimp on, this is your toothbrush thing. We are going to use these all the time. Okay. These are well made. They look kind of cheap to me. No, they're not going to look cheap. I don't think they look cheap, but it's also like the function of it. I'm assuming those were like the thing goes up and down.

1:11:14Yeah. The cushions are wipeable. Do you know the return policy? No, but I do not like that you are going there right now. These are going to be awesome when you get there. Give them a moment to shine. This was a splurge item that I'm, as we say, if we're going to splurge, we got to make sure it's worth it. at first blush, I really don't like them. But you need to see them in person. I'm all good with that. I'm all good with that. I'm telling you, I think it could be luscious. In the interim, let's pull the return policy. Okay. We'll do that after this. Yeah. Okay. Tweet of the week. And boy, is this the tweet of the week if I've ever seen it.

1:11:52So Brian Johnson comes in and he says, wrecked sleep last night. Cafe mistakenly gave me fully caffeinated coffee versus decaf. canceled my morning dunk training as acute sleep disruption can increase injury risk by 70 to 130 and he's the longevity guy yes okay michael easter comes over the top because i know right now you're you heard that being read and you thought good lord i don't have enough hours in the day michael jordan once drank 10 beers played 36 holes of golf then hours later dropped 52 points on the Cleveland Cavs. That season, he also won the NBA championship and was named the league MVP, i.e.

1:12:33toughen the F up. Toughen up. Rub some dirt in it. I shared this in the chat and I shared it for a reason. Brian, it's not all going to be perfect. We can't be letting a cup of coffee throw us off our game. Well, it's the guy that was like, I had a glass of wine and it ruined my day for three days like guys at some point it is mental no i i'm i'm all for i'm all for healthy living i'm all for longevity but like we we need we can't forget about the power being tough and the power of of fighting through things well also just like i what i can't have us do in society which i know people are gonna do but like i can't have you think you ate a piece of pizza and it ruins your week and like your body can't have that you can't process the processed food like how are we gonna that's not it what yeah i'm saying so not what you said oh i was like oh no i'm saying like that's not the mentality the coffee ruining your day like having caffeine ruining your next we just we can't have that because then as a society we're gonna be complaining about things constantly and we're gonna have to live such perfect rigid lives that when are you ever going to have fun i i have i have this summation we're over indexing on the uh physical side and we're under indexing on the mental side that's what's happening in a lot of this longevity world and the mental side is equally if not more important than the physical side yes i think that like if yeah yeah if you gave if you gave these longevity guys two pills and they were both blank but you told them that one of them was an adderall i think they'd be like i can't sleep like they they would mentally convince themselves it was one thing not not all of them this is not not all the longevity world but this is just a very bad this is a very bad tweet well it's a bad tweet because it's such a simple thing you you had a coffee that was supposed to be decaf and then it was caffeinated and the problem with that is because there's going to be people are going to make mistakes sometimes i get a coffee that has real milk in it that actually ruins my day okay but like people are going to make mistakes sometimes you're going to get the wrong sauce and if this is the outcome if we're going to cancel our morning dunk training i'm just i worry about how we're going to handle adversity goodbye huh yeah bye bye like you can't handle adversity done well i can't even classify coffee versus deke i can't even call that adversity actually it's not adversity adversity okay that's we're gonna wrap there we love you guys thank you for listening.
