Law Smith
4:47
what do you usually do? Do you do the Wim Hof breathing?
2
Speaker 2
4:50
Sure, but I mean, that's temporary. That's just a minute. You know, that's that'll, that'll help with the overwhelming times. You know, okay. But uh, I mean it's just life stuff that's dragging on and it's just
Law Smith
5:04
you mad Bubba hasn't called you a little bit Bubba. Do you have that? Do you
2
Speaker 2
5:08
have your email them today? Again? I'm not stopping. I'm going to until you say no, I would agree. I mean yeah, I don't care
Law Smith
5:18
Do you? I mean do you care you do
2
Speaker 2
5:21
no i mean i don't i care about getting the job or her I just don't care about being
Law Smith
5:25
rejected. So for those uninitiated you know, we went into Bubba the love sponge shock jock radio legend in Tampa forever and these you know, 13 million listeners terrestrial radio live listening, right? nationally syndicated I'm a huge following on Twitch like a million twitch followers or something.
2
Speaker 2
5:44
Yeah, they're the number one radio morning show on Twitch,
Law Smith
5:48
which I think is really cool. Because it's, it's very interactive, and I see YouTube making a move to kind of compete with that. So what's it called?
2
Speaker 2
5:59
I'm looking for the looking for. I'm looking for the audio. So I threw together all the times above. I talked about wanting to hire me, not only on the podcast that we did with him, but we went in we went in the radio to talk about we had on a human humble.
Law Smith
6:14
You know, her name is humble, which they should have a segment called PAMA, humble. Take that take that with you. Because they just pummeled it when we went in there thinking we're gonna get her shit pushed in like training day a little bit when the three guys are playing cards right? You ever had your sheet boost in?
6:34
You know didn't think it would be that bad but
Law Smith
6:35
I thought it'd be like that you know got in the mouth over the bathtub.
6:39
Yeah. pretty intense. It was good it wasn't that bad.
Law Smith
6:42
No, it was great. I thought like it when it is bad as well as it could go for us. Yeah, I mean they try to join us for a second GOT GOT add in forgot about shooting on us.
6:52
Yeah, it was a great hour and 40
Law Smith
6:55
minutes right. Um, but nicotine gum is like a popping off. It hits your like back your throat Is that how it feels for you? Oh, yeah,
7:05
after a while I just spit it out. tastes gross.
Law Smith
7:08
Oh, really? Yeah, I thought that's what makes it work. Probably this nicotine gum. Dude, I when I took three of those, I was like, Oh, no, I will. I do the dumb thing everybody does where I go. Well, I'm a badass. No. If four espresso shots doesn't do it, why not eat right?
2
Speaker 2
7:29
Of course. Yeah. But um, so so in my as we were on the podcast, Baba says I don't know how many times he's gonna hire me to come in and do video work and whatever. Now mind you. The audio that I have also has clips of Baba talking about inviting me in for a co host contest that I did. Eight years ago. When I had saved the audio bubble of me that talk about gave me an invitation
Law Smith
8:00
that I'm gonna do my mom but my mom would think ghosted, doesn't love you.
2
Speaker 2
8:05
So I threw together this little audio snippet of Bubba put me over.
8:09
Eric This next one is Eric I think Eric.
3
Speaker 3
8:13
Eric redner. Eric, we like I think, Eric I'm looking for a video guy. No man. Eric redner. Erica, you're gonna have an invitation prior to hire Eric but fucking Eric makes it happen. You know, bits and pieces and an ancillary guy you know, at first I just can't fast track you to the top like I did on it. I am hired Eric. Remind me to fucking hard not to hire Harry's I like them. And I think I hire Eric. I like them. And you know, I'm going to talk to Eric privately by maybe doing some video shit for us as I like them. What do you guys like? unfinished? I like them.
8:51
anonymously. Everybody agree on Eric.
8:53
Yeah.
8:59
having me back up.
Law Smith
9:02
So since we've been in, it's been about I don't know, it's been a couple weeks since we went in there. And then almost two and velaro every day?
2
Speaker 2
9:16
No, I've emailed five times. Five times more or five now in a normal response
Law Smith
9:23
in a normal workplace that would be aggressive, but I'm for it. I'm for it. I think it's good. They need me to
9:29
go in there and answer emails
Law Smith
9:30
you need to be aggressive right?
9:33
Like Yeah,
Law Smith
9:34
what I liked about it is its own like little world It's its own like excuse me like Marvel Universe. It's a Baba universe you know? Yeah, her father's they need something to kind of come in and be the hamburger helper. You can come in and be that big glove. I know mascot go shake some shit. Oh, yeah.
2
Speaker 2
9:56
I mean, I will do whatever they want. I'm trying to get across here guys.
Law Smith
10:00
Now we can clip this clip out in a meta way. Hey, here's a new clip.
2
Speaker 2
10:04
video of me listening to the audio I made of us being on an audio podcast.
Law Smith
10:12
So I think you're, I was saying you're probably driving yourself nuts. Yeah.
10:21
Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
10:23
Obviously, duh. Like, it's just crazy. I mean, you heard the audio. Yeah. seemed to like me that did you put
Law Smith
10:32
a background music to that? Yeah. Did you can't pick up on what the music was. It's something from the 80s or 90s. I can't. It's like, I don't know. It was one of those overplayed songs. Oh, yeah. 290s movies put me in coach.
10:45
Yeah, from me from major league and be
10:48
in that major field? I don't know. Is it? Probably that
Law Smith
10:54
song? Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
10:56
I had nobody picked up on it. That was that song. Yeah, I had to rip it. I had to. I had to rip my God, the karaoke version from iTunes. And this was after having to rip the audio of the podcast off of Twitch.
Law Smith
11:11
How long did that take you to put together? Honestly,
2
Speaker 2
11:13
not long at all the audio editing these fast Baba, the thing that took forever was I had to let the podcast play all the way through. Because you can't just you can't download video off of Twitch. You can rip it. There's no shit. That's what I did. Oh, I'm saying like I just, I just let it play and then sent it like as though my laptop was pushing audio. Desktop through Adobe Audition. Just recording it.
1
Speaker 1
11:41
Which works you know, it shows your prowess. Yeah, it shows your tenacity. Yeah.
11:46
Not to mention, I guess blitzes email address.
Law Smith
11:49
Oh, did you? Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
11:51
Well, I mean, they have the producer of the show. Right. And he's the man's you know, need to get in good with but I had gone on. I think
Law Smith
11:58
he's a fan of mine. I don't
12:01
know. Like he's a fan of mine either. At this point.
Law Smith
12:02
I didn't know if you'd like this at all.
12:04
Honestly, it's hard to tell I think was Blitz,
Law Smith
12:07
but I didn't even know I didn't get to meet him before we went on air. And then we just heard the voice rolling over like these guys. Fucking Yes. Like, who is that? I don't know. I didn't it was just I didn't relist it, but it was definitely like sniping, snapping some shit. And I was like, I know there's another two guys in the booth.
2
Speaker 2
12:27
Right? But I mean, he wasn't that's just what he does on the show regularly anyways, wasn't like,
1
Speaker 1
12:33
for us. I didn't know you had this passion for the show. Like, oh, it's been you know, since high school dude. Like that's the gay Kathy Ireland bubble allows funds to loves basically.
Law Smith
12:48
trying to guess the 90s check. No, you love Necessary Roughness. Now, once you have you seen that movie, where she she goes to kick it. And literally they just it was almost like they just quit on the on the fucking film. They're just like, just let her take 80 steps before she kicks it. And then we're just gonna cut to the ball just going over Yeah, can go post a lot of away with a lot in the 80s and early 90s. Yeah. So So yeah, so you feel good. What do you feel your chances are now
2
Speaker 2
13:20
I can't imagine there being somebody better to hire than me going in there. I mean, that would blow my fucking mind if they hire you know, some retread that they got used to be on the show. But
Law Smith
13:31
my thing that I always hear about radios, there's a lot of nepotism. Like, yeah, actual nepotism, but there's people that are just in radio that just fucking hang out forever and then that's how you get there.
2
Speaker 2
13:41
I'm really hoping because this is what I was feeling from Bubba that he's because
Law Smith
13:46
we're gonna extrapolate this out to more of a business kind of getting hired thing but go ahead I don't care it's all about me. Is that I mean this this has something to do with the the motif of the podcast that we're running Sure. This is getting hired. But you this is a unique industry. Look, this isn't like there's a LinkedIn job that's ever going to offer that's going to appear out there right? Yeah. So this you have to get a little uncouth for cocoa puffs. Yeah, you got to do some weird stuff. I say show up show up with a sandwich board wearing nothing else underneath just like diehard three in same sign I'm not there
2
Speaker 2
14:24
yet. If you remember that shit out there because we really want to do last Did you do anything for the job?
Law Smith
14:30
Well, I didn't think now you can't go die hard three because you might die now. If you remember what he says on that sign? Know what you don't remember. Oh no. Samuel Jackson's like, Ah well, it's an embalmer on there. Oh,
14:43
you don't remember Thanks for the advice. He's very present
Law Smith
14:45
joke his job. Well, look, we try we try to look they're not all dick jokes. Sometimes the ratio
2
Speaker 2
14:52
I'm really just hoping, but was doing the truck. Radio genius. I'm gonna pull this guy this new buddy. Out of nowhere, because I see some talent and I'm gonna make them stars sort of shit. That's what I'm hoping for. Wow.
Law Smith
15:06
Yeah. I mean, look, you got to have a little manager. Sure. When you're doing anything entertainment based, right,
2
Speaker 2
15:14
it's just like, you heard his wheels tourney's can't just fast track you look at it on.
Law Smith
15:19
Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
15:20
Yeah, I mean, that's tracking me where online training series man,
Law Smith
15:24
look, I'm not even looking for that. It's all about ROI at the end of the day, you can come in there and you could not only save them probably a lot of time, effort so that labor costs to me that's that's not only increasing ROI, what you could you could do by, you know, building out a studio renting that out. Probably finding different ad revenues, ad channels. You're not you're just, you're an offline online, you can do both. Yeah, that's so fuckin unusual. I know. And you're like a weird spider monkey. Like nothing. Nothing really affects you. You said he had a migraine yesterday. And I was like, Whoa, what's what's wrong with you? Yeah.
16:00
Yeah, one day yesterday.
Law Smith
16:02
Yeah, but uh, Jason rats around Yeah. But I'm saying always. That's tough job. But I'm saying like you have a weird because you're so health conscious wellness conscious. You don't get sick that often. And you know, weird spider monkey ability to not get affected. Like, I'll come in and bitch about, you know, being sore for five days in a row.
2
Speaker 2
16:22
Yeah. Do ice baths. That's true. That's true. Once a week thing, man helps big Dang. Well, I'll keep the soreness.
Law Smith
16:31
So like, if you want to get hired in something that's a little different. You got to be a little different there. There used to be guys that got hired. So when I was I was interviewed for Facebook in like 2011 in the ads department over in Austin. Austin, Massachusetts. And. And so I heard a lot of people got hired by doing ad campaigns with them on it, targeting people at Facebook to hire them. First guy did it. He got the job. And then a lot of other people did that. It didn't work out. The novelty kind of wore off. But yeah, uncouth idea, right. Yeah. A little crazy. Yeah, a little nutty. But not too nutty. It just showed that, hey, you want to hire me to do ads? Or be an ad account manager or SMB? Small, Medium Business? ad account person? I'm the I'm the person because I'm targeting you. Right. I'm using your own system for you. Yeah, I mean,
2
Speaker 2
17:27
and that goes that audio clip I threw together. It's the same thing. The same thing they need me to do. I should geo fence the Baba army.
Law Smith
17:36
We should use some of the ad tactics. We could geo fence that building and just send ads there okay with you on. All right, if you use Advil or something, because if we get, they've clicked on our site, so we've got them tracked, I think on the sweat equity pod. Oh, yeah. Gotcha. Now, baby. Well, we definitely have a pixel on our site. Yeah, for those that don't know, facebook pixel is the thing. If you're running Facebook ads, you have a website, and you're not doing a facebook pixel, you're fucking losing out. You're losing money. I'm looking at you right in the camera, you losing money by not doing that you should be doing it even if you're not running ads.
18:13
Yeah, well explain what's happening,
Law Smith
18:15
what the ad paid with the pixel. So the pixel you put it, put this code in your site, it's, you know, when you're on Amazon, and you're looking at stuff on Amazon, and then you're on Instagram. And suddenly that thing that you're looking at on Amazon's in your Instagram feed doesn't happen as much anymore. But for at least for me personally, but that's called retargeting ad. And if you're not even running a campaign, you should always if you have a website, you should always have those codes in there, the facebook pixel, your Google ad targeting was it called Google Tag Manager now? You should in your Google Analytics. Those are three pieces of code you always have in your site, no matter what. No If ands or buts, it doesn't matter. If you're not running ad campaigns, you're setting yourself up for audiences in the future. The hard part of your website is getting people to the site. If you run a retail store, the hard part is getting them through the threshold of that doorway. Once you got them in your restaurant, your you fuckin sneaker place, whatever, whatever you're doing. The hardest part in sales and marketing on a on a offline level is getting them through the doorway. Once you've got them through the doorway. You're gonna close on 90% of the time usually, or whatever you put your hit rate is retails gonna be a little different. You're gonna have some looky loos, but rarely do you have a restaurant where people walk in. They look at the menu and they walk out. Yeah, that happens a lot more in your bigger cities by you know, more walkable downtown's and stuff like that. But for the most part, if your destination place you got people to your office. Yeah, lawyers. I talked about this all the time with them because that's kind of a little bit of a niche of mine was working with law firms while offerings. Hey, they're calling you what Your clothes right there like 95%. My Yeah, cuz they're not shopping elsewhere. Right,
20:04
right. Yeah, nobody is enjoying that.
Law Smith
20:06
So for us, you can use that tactics that we got them to our site. Now we use that pixel and we can make funny ads. low spin. I don't know offhand the geo targeting app I'd use but I'm a little rusty in that department. I have to look it up. But there is there is one to use. I forget. But you can literally like Google Map. Yeah. Make it like a little square around the building.
20:33
Yeah. Okay. And then once you and then once all that after the podcast, we'll record something.
Law Smith
20:38
It'll be fun. No, you don't you all you need is a picture of you like this. Hire me. Okay. Just like, Ah, yeah, remember me? And just put Eric on top of it. big bowl. Yeah, that's actually cool. If I have my banner snack account still alive. We can do this plays in there. But you're quick. You can do? Yeah, you can do a 300 by 302 50 by 250. A 720. By 90. Those are pixel sizes. Ladies, gentlemen, this nicotine gum is
21:06
killing it. What? Yeah.
Law Smith
21:09
Those display ads you see everywhere when you're reading a Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and you see like the little square, and those ads are following you there. That's what we're talking about. Yes. Right. So
21:21
don't think that's all I can think about now.
Law Smith
21:23
But it's all about ROI. At the end of the day, we're coming in, you're going Hey, I'm gonna make you more money. I'm going to save you money. So your profit margin will go up, right? Bottom line? Yeah. With adding me on? Yeah.
21:36
Definitely added to at least what you were paying the person before
Law Smith
21:39
in a small business and you you're wanting to work somewhere, that's what you have to prove. You have to go, look, I'm gonna come in, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do a lot of shit. But at the end of the day, your bottom line, because that's all people care about when they own a business? What's your bottom line? My bottom line is that, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make you more money. I'm going to sometimes you can lower costs. Not everybody can do that.
22:05
But I could,
Law Smith
22:06
I bet I could, you probably can. Because you'll look at a lot of labor. And if you can get in those systems, it's hard to, it's hard to kind of come in if you're not getting hired to do processes to come in and go, right, change all that shit up.
2
Speaker 2
22:18
No, yeah, I don't, I don't want to walk in there with any sort of, you know, agenda where it's okay, what do you need from me? But, you know, a lot of the times with places like that, things get so locked into what how they're normally done. You know, they just kind of go to the wayside. And you've got these things that just start five steps too many, you know, or it's like, coming in there could maybe,
Law Smith
22:43
because, again, that it feels like the vibe. I don't know, I definitely don't know for sure. But the vibe that I get from the place after kind of watching them before we went on a little bit after we went on is, you know, it's a little bit insular. It's, it's a little bit cocoon from other they're not. That's the thing with a lot of small businesses, too. You can get caught and doing your own ways and not bring any outside knowledge in. And yeah, he didn't know that. There's a way to do this. Yeah. Plus there, you know, my church didn't know they could livestream a year ago, and I was like, get this meevo camera. They got it. And you're going to heaven, dude. I know. Right? Straight to have. I know, for all the terrible things I say. I told my pastors that I go, you know, I do. I'm helping you guys out because I say a lot of terrible shit. Yeah, like, No, no, we've heard your act. We know. We we? We haven't seen it. But we've heard about it. Secondhand. Doesn't. Doesn't sound great. I've been writing jokes lately. Feeling good feel feel back to normal, normal, crazy. manic.
2
Speaker 2
23:53
God. Yeah. Yeah, you're way past where I'm at, though. farts.
Law Smith
23:58
We'll get some of this. I'll let me spit in something. You can drink that out. Okay, I'll spit in your mouth. Right and baby burden. All right, do it. What's what so what are you feeling out of it? Just
2
Speaker 2
24:09
it just, you know, I'm sort of you don't know. I mean, it's just I mean, it's pretty. It's just nerve racking.
Law Smith
24:20
Yeah. When you? Are you putting all your eggs in that basket waiting around for it?
2
Speaker 2
24:24
Well, I mean, or or not necessarily. No, but this
Law Smith
24:27
is the job you want. But it's
2
Speaker 2
24:29
literally my dream job. Yeah. Like not even. This was I've said it years ago. Hmm. You know, it's not just like, oh, we're working radio. It's like, now I work for that guy. Like that guy's legit, like one of the top four or five personalities ever?
Law Smith
24:44
Yeah. Do we figure out how old he is? It's like 52 god damn Really? Yeah, guy. He's been doing it. He's been like on the air since he was probably like 18 or something.
2
Speaker 2
24:55
No, I don't think that young but not much. Not much past that. He's been running. In college for a little while, Wayne State Oh, yeah.
25:03
Fighting. I know Larry birds. Yeah.
Law Smith
25:08
Now my best friend's dad with Indiana State. Not that no matter shout out to Mr. Fogg, Dr. Funk I should said,
25:15
What?
Law Smith
25:18
So it's kind of dressed for the job you want, kind of deal a little bit. You're kind of showing the skills you got to get the job you want. Yeah, and being persistent. And you're always in that world if you know what it's like. It's like, trying to go after a chick and you're like, there's a real thin line between stalker sure in and like persistent.
2
Speaker 2
25:40
Yeah, I are not discerning about the stalker site. It's like, yeah, cuz What does it matter? Right. What do they get back? They know anyway. It's like, Okay, well, I don't have it anyways. Now. So right, cool.
1
Speaker 1
25:52
Right? Nothing. It's just your one shot at that ever. Yeah. So no one shot at my dream job ever. Doesn't happen. added on to everything else going on in my life should be a good week. You got a good guard dog golden retriever out there. He's fucking killing it. Yeah,
26:08
yeah. Because let's take me out in the woods.
Law Smith
26:12
Have you done any ice baths, you've done all these things that knock you out of your, your drudgery.
2
Speaker 2
26:18
I mean, I'm doing it once a week, I need to do one today. Last time I did.
Law Smith
26:23
But again, I I was in a meeting last night. And yesterday to yesterday, one today, it's just like, everything's about ROI. When you're you're trying to come in and add a lot of value. Like you just have to add value. And you have to come in and go. And just remind them, I keep this in mind. The bottom line, I want this gig. Because I was thinking about it. While I've been going after some business lately. It's like, I'm telling them I'm trying to remind them to my whole mindset is to make them money. As as a marketing consultant as an advisor.
2
Speaker 2
26:59
Yeah, I mean, for the idea for us would be we take all this stuff, and we put it at the BRM shirt, you and I have a new studio, start running it out again, we get that going, boom, there's your I'd like to think I'd be able to pay for my own salary there. But that's just I mean, how many leads Do we have to have to turn down for podcast rentals?
Law Smith
27:22
Yeah, we were maxed out. I mean, we're also running an agency. Yeah. I mean, well, even we were you didn't even have that. That part to have to deal with. Oh, yeah, I know. I mean, you could also do that shit on the side. But it was just like so many people are on the podcast tip in terms of like, doing it for marketing material and all that, that we always talk about, man. There's so many people so I get hit up a lot. Hey, I'm going to start a podcast. I'm only doing it for business leads. Yeah, I'm like, Good, good. Fine. Good. They've got a marketing RMT fine. Great. Can you can you gab that says,
27:57
Yeah,
Law Smith
27:59
you better figure that out. And then they stopped that's where they stopped because they can't go Oh. It's gonna be great. It's not gonna be perfect. Am I just fucking started? Just go.
2
Speaker 2
28:08
Yeah, cares. Yeah. Like, there's no need that lots of people think oh, I gotta edit the I gotta get all the arms and alls and silences out so
Law Smith
28:18
we know people want
2
Speaker 2
28:20
that. Nobody's like, Oh, I can't believe you said, um, again. Right? It's a conversation. You don't say that to somebody face when they say it in real life. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Breaking the Silence is so overwhelmingly awkward. I can't just take it anything.
Law Smith
28:36
It's like, the need for real talk. Which what podcasts are it? I like those. I'm an artist. I like listening when there I'm listening to podcasts, you know, notable comedians, and they're like, their kids walk in there, like Get the fuck out of here. Well, I mean, just, you know, I just think that's that I don't like this polished shit. Like I don't like I listen to podcasts obsessively. Now, I rarely like watch TV. You know? Like, I haven't on the background just so I don't feel alone. No, but I get that. I know. I do feel like I do have the TV on a something live. I'll put on the news now a little bit. But I don't listen. I don't really watch it. It just feels like there's something going on. Because like you have been doing so many indoor cat things from my place working from home. I feel like a lot of people are like that. I think a lot of people are gravitating towards podcasts because they ran out of shit to watch. Well, I mean, the boys is great. By the way, watch Thor. I couldn't sleep last night of so jacked up on my marketing consulting prowess getting Boehner Oh, dude, I'm like I am Don Draper. I'm back to yelling that to myself. My Pinterest, man. Let's fucking crush on Pinterest to everybody. Let's do it. LinkedIn. Yeah. Oh,
29:56
give it to me. You start talking about watching something.
Law Smith
29:58
Oh, Thor Ragnarok On
30:00
one of my faves, I think it's
Law Smith
30:03
the best might be the best Marvel. I think it is the best Marvel. It's got an R 80s. We kind of like that 80 cents in there. Yeah, that's great. And guess who's Jeff Goldblum? Yeah, but guess who's a boy from the boys is? Yeah. Is Scourge. Yeah. And I was like, Who is it? I don't know. Cuz he's got a shaved head.
30:22
Yeah. And he's in that book.
Law Smith
30:24
But he eats up all the scenes, too. He's very, he's very urban is his name. Yeah, yeah. So, um, but I was just watching that. And I was just like, Oh, that is the best. That's the best one of those. That's a side note. What else we got that thing of, I want to circle back to that jeetu to give some kind of advice other than, you know, be a stalker for the job. You. Look, if you're if you're trying to go for a job, that's a small business, you have to you have to look at it this way. You have to have the empathy of the owner, which is usually the person hiring, right? I'm talking to small business, maybe micro nano because depending on how you describe small to medium business, let's say local micro nano, let's say under 10 plays maybe under 20 employees maybe doing 100,000 2 million revenue a year let's let's declare that the small business okay. Sure. Every what people think is their small businesses wild? Yeah, Amex is like Small Business Saturday, we're all about it. And I'm like, Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. annex you fucking small business American Express feels the need to help other small businesses. We're gonna dedicate one Saturday and we're gonna call it Small Business Saturday. Fuck you acts. You don't do shit. You fucking you make worse financial things for for for a lot of businesses. They pretty much all do. Yeah. But you could there's a way you can go way back in the archives to Ed keels he'll, he'll drop some financial knowledge on you. Oh, yeah, we need to head back on. Yes. But I'm saying like, if you're trying to get hired a small business, usually the owners the hiring person, right. So they're not thinking about you. You're thinking about them? Yeah, exactly. So that's how it always goes. And you're always like, the worst is the follow up email. No, no, nothing back. The worst is sending those emails. If you're bothered, you send a handwritten thank you card. Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
32:27
Where was that advice? For three years. I can do a paper airplane over the phone. You
Law Smith
32:34
could still do it. There's still time that the handwritten thank you card goes a long goddamn way nowadays. Because think of all the shit you get in your mail. Retail me not garbage or whatever. Well, they do the thing with the fake printed handwriting address thing. They do that if you need 500 or more done, because holiday season's coming up. There is a robot arm that will imitate your handwriting. That shifts insane though it's so expensive, is it? I think it's like 20 bucks a pop or something. It's crazy. It's gotta be cheaper now. Well, I got it like three or four years. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty dope because why is that different than getting it printed on a card? It's gonna actually put ink to paper and it's not gonna fuck up because I forget how to write stuff formally. And I'm like, scratch and shit out. Throw this thing out. We're
33:31
right on time baby. Oh,
Law Smith
33:33
no. Just me All right. Well, we're closing this thing out Yeah. Got that.
33:39
No, I we just don't have the other one.
Law Smith
33:40
Well, if you're trying to get hired for a small business 20 employees or under let's let's let's call it that. You got to be sometimes you got to be a little bit different to get in. Yeah, man. I thought yeah,
33:53
I caught a quick low.
Law Smith
33:55
Yeah, man. You are a fucking spider man. You got to be on top of it is if it's the job you really want that they don't really have an opening for necessarily like what you're going for it because it's not like they're like, we have no desks. They do have an opening. They have a grunt opening. Yeah, but video
34:13
that he was doing this and they
Law Smith
34:16
have a 14 inch Swiss Army knife. Yeah, job opening. That might have not gotten hired that bad dick joke.
34:23
I wasn't.
2
Speaker 2
34:27
Yeah, that's the real reason. It's embarrassing. It's like I wouldn't write a joke like that to be
Law Smith
34:33
super bad drunk coming in there and writing some coffee.
2
Speaker 2
34:36
I wrote it but it wasn't meant to be a dick joke. Obviously, everybody has their tell me how
34:42
mine didn't Joe. I was gonna swear at pod
2
Speaker 2
34:45
cause describing different things I do. And that a could be referred to as a Swiss Army knife. But that army knife would have to be 14 inches long because of all the different things I do. That's stupid ass copy. That is being turned
Law Smith
35:00
You don't see that they brought it up on the show for anybody wondering. And you don't see that as our logo is a dick tie if I wrote it.
35:10
And it wasn't meant to be addict joke. Yeah. How's that? Not the end of it, we can find you guys wanna make it a dick joke. That is the
Law Smith
35:15
worst barbituates ever
35:17
been chewing?
Law Smith
35:19
chewing or bin shoots, and barbituates whatever. And opioids and mushrooms and all the copious amounts of quail foods that we were on writing all that copy, right?
35:32
You know that we're always complex, guys.
Law Smith
35:35
I'm just saying it's on brand with our website. Sure.
2
Speaker 2
35:41
I it's I'm very honest. It's not as though I would ever like be like, do you
Law Smith
35:46
have a hug? I've never seen it's a joke. Maybe. Maybe God. I don't know. I do. Okay. Oh, boy. Oh, really? Wow. Just throw that out there. It's always the wiring guys. That got it. Yeah. Never Never the thick thigh boys. I
36:01
squeeze it all life out of it. It looks
Law Smith
36:02
like the bush between two redwoods when it's not not to mess it? Yeah, two dicks. No, I got two huge legs and it looks like just a fucking Oh, the redwoods? I haven't shaved in a while. Um, this has been an episode. Yes.
