And now it's time for the Radcast with Ryan Alford.

 

00:09

I might do that as my intro when I come home from work. Yeah, that'd be my ringtone. Oh my God, you hit the front of my car and she's deadpan, serious. How creative of her. Yeah. That's a creative way to get out of shit. I guess. Facebook's really taking us to the chin this week. They've had a whistleblower talk about how Instagram's terrible for girls. No shit. Yeah, yeah. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that? No shit. I think everything's planned out. Your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Exactly. Unless you're maybe trying to take some stuff down.

 

00:40

They're everywhere. Hmm.

 

00:47

This part of ending is starting again

 

00:53

You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Rad, Radcast. Rad, rad, radcast. It is Friday, October 8th, 2021, as we blow through October in a hurry. What's up, Sean? Welcome to the show. Thank you, what's going on? How are you? How was your week?

 

01:21

It's been a great week. Yeah. Really good week. Busy. A lot of new people, new clients, new energy. We got some caviar in this morning from a new client. Oh, wow. New potential client. OK. They're courting us. Hey. They're sending you. They're sending us goods. They make caviar. They are actually Kolikoff caviar. Kolikoff. Beautiful. Yes. And they make it. It's like the best caviar in the US.

 

01:45

And no, they're in freaking LA. Oh. Yeah. So. Did you have some? I have not. It's in the refrigerator for happy hour today. OK. Little beers and caviar. OK. I feel like I need to go get some champagne or something. Yeah, I was going to say, is beer and caviar? Is that like how you're supposed to? Or is it supposed to be champagne and caviar? So Budweiser and caviar? Yeah. I don't think it's going to happen. But no, it's been a great week.

 

02:12

How about you? Did you have a good week? Yeah, yeah, it's been busy. Yeah? Yeah. Bunch of sketches. Any highlights of the week? We have a new sketch coming out this weekend and then we're filming, getting ready for another sketch this weekend. Nice. Which is awesome, yeah. That's cool. And then after that, I plan on taking a couple days and going surfing.

 

02:30

Nice. Where are you going? Wilmington. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Okay. Gonna go there. It'd have been a good week for surfing maybe. I mean, I don't know. My sand's the lightning. Yeah. But it's been rainy all week here. Yeah, no, they've had some surf down there, so. Yeah, that's cool. We've had a good week on the podcast.

 

02:49

Tyler Rich episode released this week. He had a number one song on the country music charts. Congratulations. Better than you're used to. And so, happened to, we recorded them like four weeks ago, and Tyler was awesome. And then his song goes number one the week we released the podcast. So, I think it is. Yeah.

 

03:09

And he's our good luck charm. I think our numbers went through the roof. Okay. Something more people want to listen to it. Yeah. But his people were awesome. I can't give them enough credit. They shared a lot of the content that all works together. People, when you come on the show and you share the content, we share the content, it boosts all the numbers. Everybody wins folks. You know, there's a method to the madness. Yeah. The people that you bring on, do you ever have someone that you just don't click with and it's just like.

 

03:36

There's definitely better, there's more energy or more, I don't know the right word. I don't, there's not been anyone that has gone south. I think I'm, look I've done this for, even before the Radcast, I've done podcasts and interviewing for eight years. I'm not saying I'm pro, but I'm.

 

03:57

I know how to do this, I know how to keep it topical. And no matter even if they're like someone I'm jiving with, nearly everything they're saying, I feel like I can keep it on the up and up and keep it interesting. So I don't know, I can't think of a one that went awkward. So we do these in one take. That's one of these podcasts I hear about all this editing they do, but Nick Weaver, our producer, one take production, everything's crisp, clear, everything. And

 

04:25

And even with the guests, unless we've had a technical issue or something, we're like one take. Yeah, it's not edited around to make it look like, it's all fluid, all the conversations are fluid. Yeah, yeah. That's what I try to do is, I try to make it a conversation less than an interview, even though naturally I'm asking the questions, I'm guiding it, but I don't know, it's been good. The next week, Dr. Mike Baez releasing, Dr. Mike. Anyone that watches Dr. Phil.

 

04:55

He came on a few weeks ago, really cool guy, really great story, and he does a lot of, you know, he does, and I give him credit, he doesn't wanna like rest on, you know, the counselor to the stars. He does not call himself that, but he's very much, like, if you remember Demi Lovato went through a lot of stuff, and she stayed at his house for a week, like, when she was going through the struggles she went through, but he opens a lot of treatment centers for,

 

05:25

you know, addiction and things like that. So he's had a story himself. He went through that when he was younger, told that whole story, super transparent, but. Is it mostly addiction or is it like mental health issues as well? Cause Demi Lovato, it wasn't like a drug addiction, right? Wasn't it more of like a mental breakdown? I think it was mainly mental. I mean, she may have been, you know, some alcohol dependency or something. I don't know all of it, so I don't want to speculate. I just know it was a lot of breakdowns with.

 

05:51

The pressures of being a young star, which I can't even relate to with how big these guys get at such a young age. So he helped her through that and then done a lot of other treatment for big names, stars, actors, rock stars, things like that. But now he's really focused on his practices and more everyday stuff. He doesn't want and prefers not to really work with celebrities anymore just because of the stigma and.

 

06:18

quite frankly, they're pretty difficult. Yeah, I can only imagine. But he was cool, really great. Look forward to that episode launching Tuesday. So be on the look on for that. And then it's coming soon, but you know, we had to kind of pull something out from an episode that's been launching in a few weeks. So a guy I think you know pretty well, and you know, he did this little thing. I mean, you may have heard of it. And now it's time for the Radcast with Ryan Alvarez.

 

06:48

Ha!

 

06:52

Bucket list Ricky Martin Buffer my friend. Yeah, that is awesome. The voice of the octagon. Yeah, he's a legend legend Cool shit, dude, like so cool. So authentic

 

07:08

Probably the best marketer we've had on the show. Yeah. I mean, talk about interchanging his products throughout the episode. Really, was he plugging a lot of stuff? He was, but he wasn't over the, he was very soft-handed, but very good. I'm like, this is what you're supposed to do. Yeah. You just plugged it in, I didn't even realize you plugged in your product.

 

07:26

Yes. But, uh, he did that nice little intro for us. We might, we might use that a few times. I think. I would use that every single time. I might do that as my intro when I come home from work. Yeah, that'd be my ringtone. I'm going to have it with a Bluetooth speaker, like every time I walk home. And so my kids are like, they don't know what it is. They don't watch UFC yet. They're too young, but. I bet he's got crazy stories. Good stories. Uh, I mean, it's such a unique time because like you have Joe Rogan, you have Bruce Buffer. I mean, the Dana White and the Furtado brothers.

 

07:56

We were alive during the explosion of the UFC, which changed the whole martial arts world, and you still have these guys that were there from the beginning.

 

08:08

You were telling me, you know, before we started recording, it was two or three years of him pretty much donating his time. Joe Rogan has the same story. So I can only, they saw it. They saw, and especially once Dana white got involved, but they could see the future of it, the rawness of it, but they saw it and coos to them for, for staying on board, you know, he's had opportunities and I asked them some tough questions and he was very direct about it. You know, has he ever thought about, you know, changing, doing things, you know, or had offers and he's like, yeah, but he's loyal and it's paid off

 

08:38

into a lot of other businesses. Yeah, Matt. Punchers Chance, he's got a liquor out, I think it was a whiskey or a bourbon. I know I'm beating that up, so I'm sorry, Bruce. But either way, it's called Punchers Chance. You Google it, you'll find it. And then he's got It's Time energy drinks coming. So I'm pretty pumped about that, seeing how the energy drink junkie I am. I'm gonna try both of them. I know.

 

09:02

So moving on to some social holidays, we have a few this week and most of them are pretty serious, so we're going to try not to make any jokes or read over them. Especially this first one, the 10th coming up on, I guess that would be Monday or Sunday, Sunday is World Mental Health Day. There's a lot of, this has become, you know, with like Simone Biles, like the gymnasts, like

 

09:32

Phelps and others have come out with a lot of you know, the athletes have made this more mainstream It's a serious thing and I think the stigma is kind of going away a bit We joke about things like this, but in all seriousness It's nothing to it's to really joke about when people have mental issues Beyond like my own limitations in life, you know, but like real truthful like Demons or depression or all those things so especially as of recently I mean life is fucking difficult

 

10:02

the last few years. It is. I can't, that's what I'm saying. It's like, you started to have this light being shined on in any way, I think before the pandemic. And then the pandemic comes and it's like, I don't know what the increase is, but it's gotta be like another 25% of people dealing with it, not more. It's creating issues within people that they never even knew were there. You know, you force people home, and for good, bad, or indifferent, no matter how I feel about that, but you lock people into their houses, you know, for 80% of the time.

 

10:30

And if they already had any sort of mental condition, it just, it has to exacerbate it. Yeah, and then you start drinking at night and you're stuck around the same people all day, every day. You don't get any space or freedom. I mean, that would drive me nuts. So the 10th is World Mental Health Day. If you have struggles out there, you need to find some help. The 11th, Monday is National Coming Out Day. You know, I'm...

 

10:58

Not being gay, I can't relate to it, but I don't judge it. Like, I just, I can say this though. That would be a difficult thing to do. Oh yeah. I mean, like, even as open as the society has gotten, and I have friends that are gay and they've talked about this, Dr. Mike even talked about this, there's still like, ah, that gigantic speed bump of like, knowing.

 

11:28

and the doubt and like all the, I just, I can't even relate. Yeah. I mean, cause you don't, the average is like, we have, everyone goes through struggles, everyone has these things, but you and I and others that aren't gay, like we don't have to make a proclamation that just like changes your entire life. Yeah.

 

11:48

So yeah, they changed your whole probably change a lot of your friends and your family looks at you, you know, unfortunately. Yep. So I don't know. So I can't relate, but I respect people for, uh, making decisions that are difficult and then the same day there's three holidays on the 11th international day of the girl, I I'm going to just plead the fifth year or the first or the second, whatever I'm pleading is, uh, I really don't have a fucking clue what that means. Uh, I don't know if it's celebrating girls.

 

12:18

I don't know if it's, you know, I'm assuming it is day of the girl. That seems to be, are we supposed to dress like a girl today? Maybe. I don't know. Those are usually my Saturdays. Yes. Yeah, those are. I'm using Monday. That's when I wear my lipstick. But you bring eyeshadow. I am for the show. Looks good. Yeah. Nick's become multi-talented. He powders my nose for me. The

 

12:46

Also the 11th, Indigenous Peoples Day. So celebrate. I would like to apologize to everyone who. I know, we owe them a debt of gratitude. We owe them a lot. All Indigenous people, we do owe them a lot. And a sensitive topic, every one of these holidays are. But hey, it's this radical, we cover it. Some of these are radical. And so if it's one of your days and you're going through it, hats off to you, my friends.

 

13:16

Moving on, this is a little into a little lighter fare. It's probably that was from the heaviest, uh, social holidays we've had. But October's a heavy month. It is. Shit's got to lighten up the weight of the world there. Where's like a national taco day. Yeah. But, uh, so, uh, this is a trending as of like literally yesterday, uh, on Tik TOK, so, uh,

 

13:44

I'm going to condense the story as much as I can, but a guy in a Lamborghini gets hit in the back by a girl driving a Toyota and he gets out and he's filming it, which a lot of people do this now, I think to just capture, like just to see why a little bit in bad moments or whatever. So he's filming it and she goes, Oh my God, you hit the front of my car. Hit the back of his Lamborghini smashed in and the front of her Toyota's fast and she's dead pan serious.

 

14:13

How creative of her. That's a creative way to get out of shit. I guess. Yeah. Uh, luckily, uh, there was a CTV camera across the street that captured the whole thing as well, but it's trending on tick tock the video that he took of her dead painting and he kind of chuckles. I'm not surprised. I don't know how you need to drive a Lambo and he's, uh, chuckling about it, but I guess he was so surprised at her response. And this was on a road.

 

14:38

Right. Yeah. Like a main highway in California. I think, you know, not driving backwards down the highway. Yeah. Driving backwards and on LA street. No, not happening. And I don't know if he was in L.A., but he was somewhere mainstream. Yeah. The CTV camera right across the street. And so she was deadpan and everybody's, you know, eating up the comments, you know, like how.

 

14:58

funny it is. She's probably stoked. She's famous now. Yeah, maybe and I'm like, the whole time I'm, you know, reading about this and I caught a little bit on TikTok but like

 

15:08

I'm thinking, was this all planned? Like just to get 5 billion views on a TikTok. That's a really cool. Him and her, like, you know, you're like, yeah, Lambo $500,000 car maybe. And it's all jacked up. Like, what would it be worth? But like, you can sell a lot of t-shirts or something. There's a lot of, you might could make up for that. Yeah. It was planned. I'd buy that shirt. Yeah. Why'd you eat the front of my car, dude? Yeah. Brilliant. So anyway, on the lighter side, on the lighter side.

 

15:38

Yes, a little hats off to them. So, you know, we talked before, I don't know why some of these topics seem to repeat themselves. Joey and I always end up talking about techies and nerds and you and I seem to get down the Lego. They always seem to hit the week of. A 9,090 piece Titanic is now the largest Lego model ever released. 9,000 pieces. That's a lot. That's heavy. Very heavy. Yeah, it's like...

 

16:08

A wingspan six feet wide, I think. That's incredible. I'm just happy that Legos are still a thing. I think there should be a contest for this. If I was Lego, this is what I would do. There's like 600 bucks too, by the way. So if I'm Lego, if you're out there, it's a free idea. How long, you do like a branded event and you get 10 teams. And who can put it together the fastest?

 

16:34

That'd be a good drinking game. Yeah. Well, you know, the speaking of that, I was going to buy one for my kids and I'd have put together and it involved me. How many beers could I drink watching them put it together? You wake up the next morning. I've like beer cans all around me. I'm like, they're still working bleary eyed in the morning. Like, how's it going kids? They're like, Oh dad, I thought you were going to help. I was helping.

 

17:02

giving emotional support. I think I'd start out helping and then start drinking. Yeah, I mean, a 9,000 piece Lego model, I mean, that would take.

 

17:17

days, weeks. Oh yeah, weeks. I mean, unless you, if you have multiple people working together, but then I don't know how you get ahead. Because always with the book, you can't really get ahead. It's like one page at a time. How do you get ahead? Like you give half the, like, it gets wonky if you have to stay in order. So maybe they make it to where you can work in teams. I don't know.

 

17:36

We'll see. As soon as I open it, I'll be like, huh? Ah! Ha ha ha. Why'd I spend $650 on this? I'll be like, oh. Uh oh. Ha ha ha. Okay, so interesting. So this is an interesting one. So I have four boys, and two of them don't give two shits about what they wear. And they're all under the age of 12.

 

18:03

I guess under the age of 13, we have a 12, a 10, a nine, and a five. And two of them don't care what they wear whatsoever. And the two of them do. And there's a new study out that shows that Gen Z, which is ages six to 24, pretty wide range, but their top spending priority is clothes now. So it's for the first time and like.

 

18:32

10 years, eight years, something like that. What was it before that? Oh, candy? I don't know. Yeah, I would think that clothes would always be like. You would think, but it wasn't for a while. The last eight years it hasn't been clothes. So, it's been NFTs, bro. Yeah, you could say it's probably cell phones or. Yeah, cell phone. Well, parents probably pay for it, but yeah. So, top priority of what they spend money on is now clothes. And so for half my kids it makes sense. Even though like.

 

19:01

I think my 11, soon to be, he's 11. I'm like running my years together. He's 10, soon to be 11. He's 10 and a half now. Four boys. And so Hudson cares about clothes, but it's like he cares kinda after the fact. Like Hogan, who will be 10 soon.

 

19:26

He'll have something cool on and has someone go, oh, that's cool, like, and then he'll get into it. But then when he gets down to brass tacks, he doesn't really care. It's gonna change when he starts dating. Yeah, oh, for sure. You know? But my oldest, 12 year old, literally would walk out of the house with pajamas on and whatever and not care. Yeah. Does not care whatsoever. Yeah.

 

19:46

And what's funny is now they go to school where he has to wear a uniform and you know, like khaki shorts or khaki pants and like a colored shirt and he fine with it, but he's just said care. Yeah. Like I see I grew up and that might be because it's all boys in your house. I grew up with all like mostly sisters. So every time I put something on it was that clashes that doesn't work. You know, so. Well, Nicole, my wife, like drives her crazy that, you know, two of them care to him, don't she wants them to be, you know,

 

20:16

stylish and they go out with black basketball shorts and a purple shirt. That's why she drives her nuts. Yeah, go back inside and change. So we'll see. But now it's rising is their top wallet priority. Gen Z, but it's such a weird, it's a big age group. Six year olds and 24. So, you know, those Gen Zers.

 

20:39

I like this one folks. So General Mills, they make cereal, but they also make a lot of other things like El Paso, like taco sauce and sauces and all kinds of stuff. Huge package goods company. And this was, this one hit my radar, but they're doing a virtual tailgating experience. And...

 

20:57

I thought this was really cool. It's actually, you go to the site and it's a kitchen and a living room and it's a 360 camera that goes around and you can kind of go to stations. They have recipes that come up, like they'll have their products on the counter and it comes up with recipes and they have these quizzes and different things. And some of these things are gimmicky. I thought this was really well done.

 

21:17

So hats off to General Mills and the team. It was a nice branded experience and maybe just because I like tailgating and tacos. I don't know, but football is your sport. Oh, it is. Yeah. So you love football. I do. And I love, uh, I love snacking during a football game. You know, give me some wings, some chips and salsa. Yeah. But, uh, I did like this experience. It was cool to wait three 60 the whole thing. So give it a check off, go to marketing dive.

 

21:47

but really cool home gate experience is what they're calling it. It's not a tailgate, it's a home gate. Good job. Good job, gentlemen. All right, so.

 

21:58

Let me get my punching bag out here. Uh, cause, uh, Facebook's really taking it to the chin this week. They've had a whistleblower talk about how Instagram's terrible for girls. And they did a study about that. They, and they had an outage for six hours on Monday. Yeah. For me, it's like no shit. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that shit? But have you also seen the conspiracies against that where, you know, um, the conservative side is saying that's a planted whistleblower. So what's that? What that's going to do.

 

22:28

is just censor more of what media they want driven. Yeah. You know, it's like, you can't, you don't know who to trust anymore. No. It's like there's an agenda behind everything. When I look at a company like Facebook, I don't think things just happen by chance. No.

 

22:48

I think everything's planned out. Yeah. Like your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Exactly. Unless you're, maybe we're trying to take some stuff down. Exactly. You know, or get ahead of something. I don't know. It's conspiracies abound. They're everywhere. What is this world? This is world that we're living in.

 

23:14

It's terrifying. Yes, it is. And going with that, Zuckerberg lost $6 billion this week after the sell off of the stock from all that stuff. So it might have been planned, but he took a big loss from it. He ate some. So that's B billion dollars in stock. Tax write-off. He's like, how can I get a, I need a tax write-off. Yes, how can I write it off? That's a big write-off. Not sure you can make that up.

 

23:41

But Facebook didn't have a great week, or maybe they did. And then people sold the stocks off, that's how they lost all their money? Yeah, sold the stocks. Why? Because they think that the negative news. Oh yeah, exactly. Yeah, you know, like. Yeah, it's coming back. Yeah. I don't know. Moving on, so Johnny Walker has a new campaign out, and they've had a keep walking campaign going for a long time, pretty cool campaign.

 

24:10

Walk this way. Yes, Sarah Smith is part of the new campaign. And it's a terrible singing job on me, but it will suffice and less also. Oh, we'll dump it out. Yeah, yeah. Mark that spot right there, Nick. Don't let, don't let me, don't let me, don't ask me to sing. Anyway, they've got to, they're trying to get a new campaign out, trying to get people to go back to bars. Makes sense. Yeah, I mean, that's.

 

24:37

probably where they do most of their business. I would think. Hopefully bars keep staying open until next month where they decide to shut them all down again. I know, it's like make up your mind already. Exactly, alcohol kills germs doesn't it? I think so. That's a fact. Very proven, it's so true. Keep walking campaign, I like the campaign, I like the spot, anything that has Aerosmith in it, I like though.

 

25:07

And I like Johnny Walker. Yeah, I do too. I might take a shot after this. Literally. Yeah, I'll join you. So Pinterest is rolling out some new products focused on commerce and creators. So are you a Pinterest user? I don't know, I don't. So I actually got into Pinterest when I was...

 

25:29

making movies, because then I would use that as a tone piece for wardrobe, for set design, color ways, and that is why I got into Pinterest.

 

25:41

So I don't use it unless I'm working on a project and I need like a storyboard of tone. Okay, I like it, that's the use for it. That's what people do. Like I'm curating ideas for a new home or a style and fashion, all this. So it does skew 80% women I think. But I have used it for similar things. I don't use it as much anymore. But still wildly popular and they're coming out with the ability to upload all of your product catalog from your e-commerce store.

 

26:11

so that it can be tagged and used more easily across the platform for purchases. There's a lot of competition now for social commerce. All these platforms want purchases to happen within their platforms. They get a take on it, or they get a percentage from the payment platform, or they just want people to stay on the platform longer, which is first and foremost so they can sell more ads. But they've been a little behind in their platform for sure.

You know, like I think the idea is good, but it feels like a dated website. Yeah, it does to me as well, so. But how do you change that, you know? Like what is an innovative way that you can keep Pinterest up to date when there's so much competition? Well, it's up to their, I don't know, tech team. You know? You know? I think they're, you know, their numbers are still high of people that use it, but it'll be interesting where they go.

 

27:10

here in the future. I feel like all these platforms are converging on one another a bit. And I don't know if like. Do you think it's marketing? Do you think it's like putting out ads and videos? I think they need to do exactly what you just said. They've got to do some real platform, like refreshing. Yeah. Like to make it more interesting. Totally. And so we'll see. I always thought that they could have pivoted a little bit more into the male side with.

 

27:37

taking what they do well and how do you position that to how a guy might use that, you know? And I don't have the exact solution to that, like I don't know, like builders, like collecting like ideas or things, I don't know. But like it just felt like they never pivoted into positioning and or tech. They're trying to hit the female demographic way. Yeah, in some ways, hey, the riches are in the niches, as they say, so I get it, but.

 

28:03

I still feel like it feels a bit dated. Yeah. So we'll see. Finally, scrolling a bit here, we're on, I thought this was interesting. So there's a $500 million estate in LA that has gone into foreclosure. And I thought this was interesting because of, it's the most expensive, largest estate in the world, or at least in the US. And.

 

28:32

I want to give you some stats from this house. Okay. Took 10 years to develop and it has amenities. A four lane bowling alley, it has tennis courts, a 10,000 bottle wine cellar. These are like just warmups here, we're really getting to the good stuff. Seven swimming pools, a full spa, a racetrack my friends, a racetrack, a 32 seat cinema.

 

28:59

a 50 car garage, that's not five, that's 50 car garage, and a full-size nightclub. And for living quarters, 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, and a 5,500 square foot master suite.

 

29:16

It sounds like the Playboy Mansion. Yeah. That like, seriously, like that. It's not that the Playboy Mansion isn't that big. No. It's like, but who lives there? Uh, I don't think anyone right now. I think it's under, it's under foreclosure. So I don't know if like, you know, some developer who developed it was hoping to sell it and never did. And like now he's foreclosed, like he took, he got like a hundred million dollar loan, like on top of like his own cash. I guess I don't know what he's hoping to sell. I don't know what he had in it. Like, who has that money to spend $500 million? And then.

 

29:46

to fill the $10,000 or 10,000 bottle wine cellar. If you can buy the house, you can fill that cellar. But apparently no one can. No one. And then the swimming pools, California is in a really bad drought.

 

30:00

Yeah. Seven swimming pools. Seven swimming pools. They're all like a hundred thousand gallons each. Yeah. The water bill for that. They could might could make some money just draining off the water, you know, watering some stuff. Bottling it. You know, there you go. Mansion water. Yes. But.

 

30:18

21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, and a 5,500 square foot master suite. We say if it's radical, we cover it, and I thought that was fucking radical. But they do have it on sale. There's a sale price of 350 million now, in the foreclosure. Imagine just being like, oh yeah, we need to cut the price off. It was out of my budget, but suddenly now it's in. Now it's in. Now if you rework some things, you might be able to get it. Yeah, I'm gonna move some things around and see if I can make it happen. You fire Nick. Yeah, if I get rid of Nick's salary.

 

30:47

And you know 12 of my own and 14 of someone else's like well, we good. Yeah That's crazy. Can you take a pay cut Sean? For you? Yeah, so as long as I can swim in the pool. You can stay in one of the 21 bedrooms. Deal. I'll work for free then. The the guest suite is 3,300 square feet. Okay. It's a little small but 5,500 for this. I'm trying to even envision

 

31:14

Actually, you can visit here, our space here, it radicals roughly 5,500 square feet. So this is the master suite. That's insane, that's the best. But you know, if you really aren't getting along as a couple, I mean, you can totally be a part in the same space, you know? Or just give her a house somewhere else. She can sleep in all the other bedrooms, the other side of LA. Go sleep in the spa.

 

31:39

That's all we have this week, my friend. Sean, any closing thoughts, any upcoming stuff for you? Yeah, well, thoughts on the world. The world is a crazy place right now. But in regards to the national holidays, very serious month. Yes, it is. But yeah, no, things are good. We've got a lot of sketches going on now. Got some films in production.
