Keep forgetting. Is it recording? Yeah, we're going,
well, this is the smooth jazz,cool beats,
Eric Readinger (00:14):
the same one in the last check. You can't even
trace it better.
Law Smith (00:24):
Yeah, we couldn't get him to say the number one comedy
business podcast in the
Eric Readinger (00:28):
world. We can. I just didn't do that. Yeah,
prompting, we
Law Smith (00:33):
had this sounds like a gym class hero, white guy.
Cover band. Keep it rapper.
Eric Readinger (00:39):
You had to make it about race. I never even
thought about the color of thisperson's skin. They're not real
Law Smith (00:45):
because maybe, well, it has
Eric Readinger (00:47):
to be like silver, like whatever computers
are made out of.
Law Smith (00:51):
Oh, you think they're you think the race is silver?
Eric Readinger (00:56):
Whoa, what would it you say it is Chrome white.
Law Smith (00:59):
He's a white guy. It's a white guy voice.
Eric Readinger (01:03):
I'm talking about him being a robot. Well,
speaking
Law Smith (01:06):
of robots, Okay, before we get into that, Zup

Eric Readinger (01:48):
I mean, if it's do I'm not going to pick it
apart. Actually, it should giveit 100 I'm not going to pick
sponsors apart. It should. Itshould you read my mind, though
I
Law Smith (01:57):
feel the same way, but at the same time you're
giving it a few inputs. Who areyou speaking to? What? What's
the audience? What? What shouldwe mention? And then you can put
in, you can put in certainkeywords you want in this
article,
Eric Readinger (02:10):
right? Okay, so if that's my fault,
Law Smith (02:13):
so if I wanted to do my bad blog post about Eric's a
soy boy, he doesn't believe inrace or color, I put, you know,
no color blindness. I put norace. I put stuff like
Eric Readinger (02:25):
that. No, I didn't say any of that. I said,
if they had a race, it would berobots. I know
Law Smith (02:30):
I was making it a completely different scenario,
not even talking about what wewere just talking
Eric Readinger (02:34):
about. Oh, my bad again. And
Law Smith (02:38):
something I've been sending over your way is the
incogni data removal. That linkis in the episode description.
That is the shiznit. Like, howmany things, how many data
broker websites you're on? Like,white pages.com, fast people
search.com. Those are kind ofthe more popular ones. People
may have touched those at somepoint, but it's got me off 181
(03:03):
different data brokers. Good foryou. That's crazy, dude. That
sucks. How much your informationis out there. Yeah.
Eric Readinger (03:10):
So cats out of the bag. But
Law Smith (03:13):
I know what. You know I told you on this show, like a
year ago or whatever I was like,I'm gonna slowly see if I can
just diminish, reduce the amountof that private info that's out
there. You know what sucks islike, when you buy a house,
people can, like, just look up
Eric Readinger (03:29):
all your shit. Does seem wrong? That's that's
really funny. Why is it forhouses and not cars? What I
mean, I don't I should be ableto look up your license plate
and be like, that's where youlive. Why? If I go to anyone.
You see why that's a problem. I
Law Smith (03:42):
can Zillow. I can Zillow what they paid for it,
and now have it confirmed,because it'll say their name
when they purchase, right? Yeah,it's kind of crazy. Other
sponsors, flow desk, emailmarketing, that's what I like to
use. Squarespace, call rail,LinkedIn premium, two months
free in the LinkedIn premium, ifyou want to send some cool guy
in mails to some people now Iinject mine in a while and Boo,
(04:06):
I have some that are like, nolie, 15 messages in a row. I
just let it
Eric Readinger (04:15):
run. Let's see how long this Happy New Year,
Valentine's Day. I knock themall out. Whole year of
celebrations from this guy.
Law Smith (04:21):
If I'm feeling sassy, I'm like, You should fire
whoever's doing this for you andhire me to do it for you. Right?
Sometimes that opens up aconversation.
Eric Readinger (04:29):
That's because that's what they want. Well, it
they have.
Law Smith (04:34):
They have to be, it's got to be cutting they if
someone's talk shit to you andyou're that person, you know how
clueless a lot of like peoplethat run their own business, and
they go, I could do my ownmarketing. It's like I got this.
Eric Readinger (04:46):
I'm just saying that's exactly what they want
you to do. Yeah, engage.
Law Smith (04:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, I know. And then I and then, if
they don't take bite on that asa real conversation, I ghost
them. So, mean, uh. Speaking ofrobots and technology, that AI
robot in China from February 21this was not a good thing to see
(05:11):
after taking an edible. Ifyou're listening, you may have
seen this already, but if you'rewatching the video,
Eric Readinger (05:21):
the robot gets crazy, right? Oh, there it is.
So then it just targets this.
Law Smith (05:26):
Break this down a little bit. So this robot, this
AI robot, this is what we're allkind of scared of, right? It
mimics, it mimics a guy inPhilly That's mad, like, right
body. It doesn't seem like aChinese guy would beef like
this. I mean, the lunch itthrows, oh, it threw a punch. I
thought it was just a shoulder.Oh,
Eric Readinger (05:48):
I don't know. It throws us something. I
literally, I thought
Law Smith (05:52):
this AI robot, by the way, no head on it. It has, like
a small, almost like, it's gotlike an oil can. It's, it
Eric Readinger (06:01):
looks like the bad guys in Super Mario Brothers
movie. Remember the originalone? That's gonna be a tough
little turtle heads. Or howabout, uh, Beetlejuice, yeah,
there you go. But
Law Smith (06:11):
instead of my head, it's like a black can of paint,
almost, yeah, but, and it'swearing, like a fleece, like,
Eric Readinger (06:19):
I have that same sweatshirt, like a hoodie,
Law Smith (06:22):
Old Navy, kind of like tech vest,
Eric Readinger (06:25):
right? Well, that makes the, you know,
Armageddon fun, but it
Law Smith (06:29):
has, like, some frills on the side. So it's
like, it's supposed to be havinga good time, and what it does,
it got drunk, bro, it happens.But that's what's wild to me, is
like it mimic, first off, doChinese people beef like that? I
don't know, absolutely. Do youthink so they do it like we all
do it? Is that a universal race?Of course. So I've look, in my
(06:50):
20s, I've been that robot. Imean, about
Eric Readinger (06:53):
Taiwan, that's why don't bring up.
Law Smith (06:57):
So they're at a it's a big Chinese parade, if you're
listening, there's a dragon guy,you know, one of those mascot
dragon people. They have, like,required at all their parades,
right? Like when they have fivepeople in a horse costume, it's
a dragon instead. And then what
Eric Readinger (07:12):
I will say, the the cops are wearing those fun
hats. What like the Russianswear, you know, the big furry
ones. George Costanza wore oneand a Seinfeld episode for the
whole time because it kept hiswhole body warm. Yeah,
Law Smith (07:27):
you forget it's chilly in a lot of parts
Eric Readinger (07:29):
of China. No, it's China.
Law Smith (07:32):
Oh, not Chile. Oh, what about it? Speaking of
Chile, to Chile. Uh, do you seeChilean?
Eric Readinger (07:43):
What? Chilean
Law Smith (07:45):
dudes? There's four dudes. It's Chilean.
Eric Readinger (07:48):
Chilean, right, right, same. I'm very worldly.
Word I'm very
Law Smith (07:55):
worldly. I've been drinking for a while, since we
since we delayed this. I waslike, I'm gonna have some some
booze. Did you this is secondbottle? Yeah,
Eric Readinger (08:04):
oh, I didn't drink a whole bottle. Oh, I was
gonna say, let's get this going.No,
Law Smith (08:07):
I finished. I polished off my other poor osos
vodka. Um, but what
Eric Readinger (08:14):
does it say with uh nanion ends, yeah, there's
Law Smith (08:18):
four guys that got caught. They were the guys
sneaking into all these NFLplayers houses to rob them. Oh,
you know how they got caughttaking a selfie of themselves
with all this shit, brilliant,and they put it on like,
Telegram or WhatsApp orsomething like that, to brag.
Works itself out. It's like mostcriminals this so dumb, like, if
you get in the mind of acriminal, that's like, step
(08:41):
number some, one of those threeother guys should have been
like, no, no.
Eric Readinger (08:45):
I mean, what are we? You know, movies want you to
think that criminals aremasterminds. Most of the time
they're robbing houses becausethey don't really have any other
skills.
Law Smith (08:56):
Well, back to this robot, okay, this is what people
are scared of. I'm surprised.It's not a bigger story, and
they haven't seen it a billiontimes already.
Eric Readinger (09:04):
Yeah, I mean, so parade gonna try and probably
keep this down. I bet a packed
Law Smith (09:10):
parade, there's a stage in between the stage and
the people at the gate at aparade or whatever, there's like
20 feet
Eric Readinger (09:20):
of police. What this thing is supposed to be
doing anyways? Well, it
Law Smith (09:24):
goes up and talks to it looks like it's talking to
someone that's talking shit toit. And then it goes up and
gives a short, at least ashoulder, like it's gonna do
something
Eric Readinger (09:33):
I like, how the person turned away with the
camera, like, Oh, get that.
Law Smith (09:37):
And it looks like it's talking shit to like an old
lady, yeah.
Eric Readinger (09:41):
Well, I don't think it exactly. Why will you
die? Well, that you should bedead already. You're so old.
I've
Law Smith (09:46):
been on, I've been on the record for on this show that
I'm not really worried about alot of this AI stuff. This kind
of made me a little nuts.
Eric Readinger (09:53):
I'm seeing a lot more ads for these things in
your house. No way.
Law Smith (09:57):
Dude, I saw what's it gonna. Do they had? Is it a
flashlight too? They had likethese, you
Eric Readinger (10:04):
know, AI engineers. They, they, they did
it in a simulation. But it waslike they gave this robot
autonomy in their lab, theirsimulated lab. And this thing
started immediately creating,like, software back doors and
trying to hack into other shit.And it was like, oh, boy, that
(10:26):
got quick, like it got out ofhere quick, like it immediately
started doing shady shit. Yeah,it
Law Smith (10:32):
needs a kill switch. It can't reach, fact, a physical
analog, right switch. And Ithink every
Eric Readinger (10:38):
time you switch one of these things on there,
immediately looking to cancelthat out. Well, that's
Law Smith (10:43):
such, that's what's really crazy about, is like,
what the software you put intothese things, whoever created it
is there's some nefarious kindof thing going on when they're
they're making the software forsaid robot, right? Yeah. I mean,
it's not just finding a loopholeon its own.
Eric Readinger (11:02):
Yeah, but I think that might be part of it.
Law Smith (11:04):
I think humans are born good. Maybe robots are born
bad.
Eric Readinger (11:08):
They're not really born I mean, you'd think
like you'd be able to write inand out.
Law Smith (11:16):
That's a good fire and hot dude. Anyways, settle
down.
Eric Readinger (11:21):
Matt Damon, you think you'd be able to write in
there like no matter what, humanlife comes first, and if it
makes you kill yourself, to killyourself to the robot, seems
like that's past. It doesn'tseem like that's like a
guarantee. Well, I guess what'stroubling
Law Smith (11:44):
about this video is it beefs like a Philly fan after
they lost a game. Yeah,
Eric Readinger (11:52):
you're just upset about the Super Bowl. I
I'm not
Law Smith (11:55):
a fan, but I didn't want that Super Bowl was like,
Man, this sucks, yeah, for mostof the country, yeah, a lot of
us didn't want to watch that,right? The bill, if the bills
are in it, that would be fun,but
Eric Readinger (12:09):
would have been cool. It
Law Smith (12:11):
doesn't even feel like Philly won it. That's how
like, low, low like expectationsof the Super Bowl was. It was
like, All right, so the net,this thing's been bugging me in
my crawl for about a couplemonths, and I probably thought
about it every day since I'veseen this chart. What the chart
(12:32):
this chart, I saw this online, Ithink on we have the data on
Instagram, my favorite nerd datafollow, and they showed the time
spent with parents as kids thatand how and it goes like
dramatically down how much timeyou spend now your parents. You
(12:52):
You spend a lot more time withyour parents than I would say
most people do, but probably itbummed me out to think that my
kids are going to be down inthis lower part of the
Eric Readinger (13:05):
graph. So we're talking the y axis is amount of
actual time, yeah, and theirlives spent. It's like 80% when
they're younger. And then yeah,and then the look like, I know I
What did you expect? Look,
Law Smith (13:19):
there's things that are out there that, you know,
but you're not, you haven'treally analytically thought
about it,
Eric Readinger (13:25):
you know? Yeah, just something you don't need to
really look analytically. Think
Law Smith (13:32):
maybe, I maybe it's a therapy session I need to go to,
because it's more, maybe more ofa bigger picture of things of
like, holy shit. The kids aregetting older. My kids are
getting older, and I feel likeit's slipping away, almost.
Eric Readinger (13:44):
I mean, this one's pretty I'm 40 time with
friends, with friends. Oh, wait,yeah, with friends. 40 and 50
are the lowest
Law Smith (13:58):
little bars. It makes sense that. One makes sense to
me that. I mean, that's playingout in real time right now,
Eric Readinger (14:03):
right? I was gonna say that one's pretty dead
on, yeah. I mean, look, I can't.I got a lot of plans next year.
You can
Law Smith (14:09):
see the little spike. A lot of my best friends live
within five miles of me, and Irarely see them. We have to,
like, book it in a month aheadof time. You know,
Eric Readinger (14:17):
JP pretends to not have a camera just to come
over and get my camera.
Law Smith (14:21):
Oh yeah, that's cute. Co workers. This one sucks too,
because you're like, Man, I wantto work. I was always like, I
want to work in an office wherethe people I don't hate I don't
hate everybody. You know, if Iwas working in house somewhere.
And it's like, when you see howmuch time you spend around co
workers in your life. And it'slike, right? And it's like, if
(14:44):
you don't like the people aroundyou, it's going to have a
negative effect on you big time,no matter what the job is. Yeah,
and like,
Eric Readinger (14:51):
then think about teaching you don't you got
another come back to the darkcoworkers,
Law Smith (14:58):
the internet's always you. Man, I
Eric Readinger (15:00):
know, trust me, I think about it all the time.
Yeah, and
Law Smith (15:04):
if you and I are working together, it's like the
output of five people a lot ofthe time. Yeah, hey, it's just
facts, man, spouse,
Eric Readinger (15:11):
time spent with spouse. I mean,
Law Smith (15:14):
I guess that makes sense. What about your side
piece right there? Where's thatred part in there,
Eric Readinger (15:20):
right? I mean, that one's not even time
Law Smith (15:24):
spent with what is that with
Eric Readinger (15:27):
household, children, most people.
Law Smith (15:31):
So we're looking at a medium.com, blog that we can put
in the episode description, ifyou guys are listening. But it's
one of those things where yousee how much time is the the
real commodity. I think abouttime a lot as well. Wow, am I
using this correctly, right?Yeah, and I've always had that,
like, I was a lazy high schoolkid, and then, for whatever
(15:55):
reason, kind of got it togetherand, like, which fill up
everything I could do, as much,do as many things as I could do,
kind of thing, right? Yeah,because I don't, you don't want
to go in your deathbed and go, Iwatched the office reruns like
40 times. I'm not gonna
Eric Readinger (16:11):
have any regrets, no. But I mean, like,
there's at that time you weredoing what you wanted to do,
there's a
Law Smith (16:17):
time and place for that, but at the same time, you
know, sometimes when you'relike, just farting around,
you're like, I could be doingsomething productive. Yeah,
that's probably better for meand possibly other people. Yeah,
Eric Readinger (16:27):
I guess I don't like to have regrets. Time spent
Law Smith (16:31):
alone goes dramatically up. That's why I
went, well, well, well, I don'tknow. Kind of looks a little
nice. I know.
Eric Readinger (16:39):
Look at that. Dads want to be alone. When does
that guy know? I mean, yeah,Ralphie
Law Smith (16:45):
Mays old joke is like, men want blow jobs and
silence, right?
Eric Readinger (16:52):
Yeah. I mean, you know that one, that one's
looking up, that's looking good,
Law Smith (16:58):
yeah? I mean, think of all the guy activities as I
mean, pretty much older guyactivities, golf, hunting,
fishing, these are all kind ofmostly quiet and like, Yeah, you
don't have to talk to anybodyunless you want to. Oh yeah. You
know, it's not like I'm a bridgeclub
Eric Readinger (17:16):
every day at school, there's a time after I
drop my class off to lunch, andI go back to the locker room and
sit in the office and the othercoaches in there, and we don't
say a word for 25 minutes.Somebody comes in tries, oh, my
God, it's just like, we don'tneed to say nothing. We could
(17:38):
talk when, when classes go like,you know, we don't, this is the
silent time. Yeah,
Law Smith (17:42):
this is our silent time. This is meditation time,
right? Yeah? Well, you're in athing where you sit. You're in a
day to day that is inundatedwith so many kids coming up to
you, I'm sure, and just talkingall the time. Oh, yeah, and you
can't not answer them. You can'tjust Buckingham palace guard,
just like, stone walling, yeah,
Eric Readinger (18:03):
I know, you know, I got kids looking on my
Instagram. You need to clean upyour backyard. I'm like, shut
up, really, yeah. Oh, just onein particular. That's
Law Smith (18:13):
not bad. I kind of like
Eric Readinger (18:14):
it, you know. But like, check a little bit
Sure, yeah. Oh, they keep me incheck. For sure. I don't even
I'm about to explain thistomorrow. Whoa. No, I was being
a good dad, and I allowed Averyto do one of my nails. I thought
she was just gonna paint it. Ifeel like
Law Smith (18:32):
the girls half the time fuck with you when they're
doing that. Oh, for sure, you'vegot a pink pinky nail. You look
like the gays coke dealer.
Eric Readinger (18:42):
I know I told I was like, Avery. If you ever see
somebody who has just one naillike this, don't hang out with
them. Cocaine nail. So
Law Smith (18:51):
keep it on.
Eric Readinger (18:52):
I might have to. It's really on there. Yeah, boy,
yeah. She like, did a wholething. I was had my hand under a
blue light. Didn't realize whatwas happening.
Law Smith (19:03):
Yeah, I've put the ixnay on that already. Dad's not
gonna put on makeup or nailstuff.
Eric Readinger (19:09):
I mean, this is a one time deal, yeah? But I
think it's like, she went allout,
Law Smith (19:13):
sure, but I think it's like that thing of like,
they start doing it, and they'relike, made this look as stupid
as I can. I think
Eric Readinger (19:20):
she was just practicing. For her own future
nails. Just use a shitty one onme. Yeah? Oh, well, maybe show
you nail tech. They're gonna I'mgonna have to explain that
tomorrow.
Law Smith (19:33):
I'm more of a shellac guy anyway, you know what? Yeah,
you're late on your sound drops.Dog,
Eric Readinger (19:41):
that's new setup again. Oh, yeah, this
Law Smith (19:45):
is a totally new setup. 100%
Eric Readinger (19:47):
it is kind of I had to redo all the wires, yeah,
make them look all nice. May
Law Smith (19:53):
have needed that a bit. You know, we haven't
changed much in this. We mightneed to get out of this studio
and. Do another one? Yeah, I cantalk to that happy hour holidays
guys. They have a podcast studiothat they don't use a lot. Okay,
we just have to figure out howto, like, have some stuff there,
(20:13):
you know?
Eric Readinger (20:15):
Man, I know that's where it gets. That's
weird, because then it's like,Oh, I gotta, what am I gonna do?
All the computer every time,haul the expensive equipment, or
we leave it? Yeah, I love it'sour place, shit.
Law Smith (20:26):
I'd love to get a new office slash studio again, but I
think I'm a ways away from that
Eric Readinger (20:33):
on that extra cost, yeah, unless we need to
buy a whole building. Oh,
Law Smith (20:40):
my God, now you're getting me wet. Don't, don't do
the AC was working.
Eric Readinger (20:46):
Oh, how do you feel? Don't you tease me. So
Law Smith (20:52):
I went to our friend of the program, David. How far
are we into this episode? Iforgot to hit the timer. Oh, it
doesn't say it on here? No, itdoesn't have a run time. No, I
see it next to the red light,
Eric Readinger (21:08):
not telling you what it is, though. 21 Okay,
Eagle Eye, good for you. Dude,did you actually see it? Or you
can
Law Smith (21:17):
guess? I'm guessing, but I can kind of see it. I can
kind of make it out. Can't hearvery well, but I can see, like a
fucking fighter pilot. Oh, Itried to write a little bit of a
set list for the episode. I justwant I don't think I've ever, I
don't know if you've ever seenthe video. This is one of those
(21:37):
old viral videos, but I thoughtI'd just be funny, and I meant
to tee it up for you, but haveyou seen
Eric Readinger (21:44):
share it with everybody else? Now you're gonna
have to Google it. Well, I wantyou to do it.
Law Smith (21:50):
It's, it's a guy in a church, and he's like, they're
trying to pray the gay way,almost, kind of thing I got the
guy I don't like men's no more.I like women. Women. You haven't
seen that one? I think I have.It's pretty, I mean, it's pretty
legend. That was your set list.We watched. I didn't make it
(22:12):
sober. You know, here's
Eric Readinger (22:14):
something we're JP and I were talking about for
one thing, have you noticed howmany car washes are going up?
Yeah,
Law Smith (22:21):
we've talked about it. We talked about on the show,
did we Yes, God, I got a badmemory, because it's such a good
business. You don't have to have
Eric Readinger (22:27):
employees. Maybe anyways. Or maybe we were
talking about two, taking itnext level, you know, and like
making a big show out of things,or having a reason for the whole
family to enjoy. And this washis idea. But figuring out a way
to have, like, a game out of it,where your car goes through, and
(22:48):
it's like laser tag at your car,and they project targets onto
it, or you could even shoot thesoap out, or something. The idea
being is taking these normalthings and going next level. So
stick a dog in there, put a dogtotally there. New idea, what
the shooting laser is that a carwash. Yes, it is. Show me where
(23:09):
that exists. You
Law Smith (23:09):
want to have some activity while they're in the
car. That's all. That's afeature. No,
Eric Readinger (23:13):
you get out of the car, and then you're
shooting the car. Oh, okay,
Law Smith (23:18):
how, okay. How does that? You could do that anyway.
Well,
Eric Readinger (23:20):
you gotta have a good laser tag guy. Well, I know
one,
Law Smith (23:24):
no, like, like, a laser like, scope like, so it's
on the car. That's
Eric Readinger (23:29):
why we need the laser tag guy to work out the
deets you'd either need,
Law Smith (23:33):
like, Google Glasses, or no one wants to wear that
shit. Or, yeah, I look I likethe gamification. You just
reminded me, I was looking uphow many people play New York
Times games, because you'restarting to see this permeate
into other kind of lifestylebrands. Netflix has games on
there, really, yeah, and it'sthere. I think it's Xbox. I
(23:57):
think Wordle created this thingwhere they go. Oh, my God, so
many people play Wordle and payfor premium New York Times
because of it. They havecrossover, like they have to
have crossover revenue from it,I guess. I mean, there's
millions of people that play itevery morning. So you got daily
active, uh, viewers, right?Yeah. So that's the big thing.
(24:17):
If you have an app, you got it,that's your number one stat,
really, is daily active users.And then your New York Times,
those fucking once, once theystop having a boner for Trump
running for, you know,President, they, they, they
basically have gone downhillsince 2016 big time, totally,
Eric Readinger (24:36):
I totally paid attention to all of that. Well,
it's
Law Smith (24:38):
one of those things where the games, I think I see
it in other stuff. There's a lotof games being, like, thrown
into a thing that's been kind oflike, right? Never had it, yeah.
Eric Readinger (24:51):
I mean, I think LinkedIn, what as games? I play
three LinkedIn puzzles
Law Smith (24:56):
every day. Why? Because I send it to my buddy,
Brendan. We, we think we'resmarter than the other person.
Okay, so we do Wordle, send thatscore over. Send that to my
aunt, who's 80 as well, by theway,
Eric Readinger (25:10):
something she, she, she deduced
Law Smith (25:14):
what my starting word was, and then claims that I
stole it from her. You know, youhave your starter word in Wordle
Eric Readinger (25:22):
audio,
Law Smith (25:23):
you wish, okay, but it's, but I'm like, Ryan, you're
80. I can't fucking know. Okay,come on now, come on now. Those
are my start. The problem is mystarter word, it'll never be.
I've come to the conclusionit'll never be. Well, I'll never
get a one for one on it. Whywould you get it's because it's
(25:47):
kind of an obscure ish word, butit gets me tell us the word, No
way, dude, it's like, secret. Idon't have many secrets. That
was the word, but I like whereyour head's at, gamifying things
that were previously born as afeature onto it, right? Yeah, if
you can get the kids to want togo there, you know, yeah.
Eric Readinger (26:09):
I mean, just the way they're building these
fucking car washes, making themtwo stories high and stuff,
making it this big deal, big,you know.
Law Smith (26:17):
No, I told you my buddy in LA, he has like, 20 car
washes, and he and he was, hestarted doing this 20 years ago,
and he's fucking, murdering it,yeah. And I was like, You okay?
And I talked to him about twoyears ago. I'm like, You're not
worried about, like, less carsbeing available, you know, auto
driving in like, 10 years. He'slike, in 10 years, he's like,
(26:40):
hopefully I'll be able to sellit, if that, if I really see
that coming, it'll still getdirty, right? And then he's
like, and more people, he'slike, it actually helps that
there's more competition becausemore people are instead of not
doing it. You know, your biggestcompetition is just not going
(27:01):
for them.
Eric Readinger (27:02):
It's just doing it at home. Is there some kind
of crazy bird poop Armageddoncoming that we're not aware of,
that they're like, really gonnacash in? No,
Law Smith (27:13):
they get you on the they get you on a subscription
model. I did one near me thatwas 15 bucks for the first three
months, and immediately, on day89 killed
Eric Readinger (27:24):
it. Well, how much is it after that 60 Jesus?
And you
Law Smith (27:28):
know, how many people forget that stuff? I'm very good
about, like, if I sign up forsomething that I don't really
want, long term, I put an emailand schedule it.
Eric Readinger (27:39):
I know it's a one time thing. Yeah, cancel it
right then, right there. If I,you know, especially through
your phone, that's easy. My onlyfans,
Law Smith (27:45):
subs, yeah,
Eric Readinger (27:47):
we get that goes, you know, that's
perpetual, yeah. Can't just,well,
Law Smith (27:51):
I'm supporting artists, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've never actually been on thesite, but I, I love guys that
openly talk about it. I guesscomics I'm hanging out with,
but, I mean, they do really feellike they are supporting the
person I'm like, you know,you're talking to, like, either
a programmatic bot in the chator a dude of a management team
(28:13):
for
Eric Readinger (28:14):
this chick? Yeah, yeah, you're like, a
really fast typer. I mean,
Law Smith (28:19):
we've Another thing we've said on this show for a
long time, we didn't know COVIDreally shined a light on how
many the market size, just themarket size of lonely men
online. And I don't even thinkwe've, we've hit peak yet.
Eric Readinger (28:36):
Oh, it's probably gonna get lonelier.
Well, I mean, more online thereis,
Law Smith (28:42):
and I think it's like having adverse effects, and
other I hear a lot my favoritesto ask women about dating app
stories. And I'm like, how manydicks have you got sent? She's
like, all of them are like, toomany. I don't even know, like
too many. I'm like, dude,straight up. Just straight up,
just sending that all the I'venever sent one. Never, have,
(29:02):
never, will,
Eric Readinger (29:02):
no Me, neither. Why would you it's never worked.
Well, no one's
Law Smith (29:09):
that's for sure, whatever, but guys have to get a
they have to get like, a thrillout of sending that and being
like, there's something weirdthis. They got to get something
out of that. It can't be just apure numbers, boom, hour from
King of
Eric Readinger (29:23):
the Hill game. Yeah, it makes them horny
somehow. Yeah,
Law Smith (29:27):
I'll send thigh picks, no problem. But yeah, I
just think those are funnybecause I have cartoonishly big
legs.
Eric Readinger (29:34):
Everybody loves it. Everybody loves those. Um,
what were we just talking aboutthe
Law Smith (29:41):
car wash, car wash, car wash, make dude, those
things print money, and it's ifyou have the ones where you have
no employees. No,
Eric Readinger (29:51):
actually, I was thinking about the robots,
because the loneliness, it'sonly going to get worse when
they start making these thingswith boobs. Yeah. You know.
Well, yeah, it's gonna get realweird. Well,
Law Smith (30:03):
I've got a, I got a little story. I think we can end
on, okay, because it's, it's alittle sad kind of story. Or
over, I was over at a referendumthe program David Downings house
for dinner the other night. Doyou mean it sad? No, well, he
was telling me a sad story.Okay, so he, he says hello and
(30:24):
fuck you, by the way, right,right for, not for
Eric Readinger (30:28):
on his dinner. I know,
Law Smith (30:30):
dude, old gay guys, don't they don't like you not
showing up. I know, I know youneed to send them an edible
range, able. Okay,
Eric Readinger (30:40):
what does that mean? But, okay, edible
Law Smith (30:41):
arrangement okay, just like calling it edible and
arrangeable. Yeah, so he'stelling me a story. He has a
friend in hospice. Fuckingterrible man. He's, he's on,
he's on life support, right?This could be dark funny. So
Eric Readinger (31:02):
I say, I sure hope so.
Law Smith (31:04):
So he tells me the story about his friend. He's, I
think he told me he's like, sixfoot tall, you know, just a
normal kind of man. But he's nowin hospice. He weighs 87 pounds.
Oh, my God, he's on his last,this is his last kind of like
congregation with a priest, anurse, him and another person or
(31:26):
something, and they're alltalking to him. I guess they've
pulled the plug twice that itdidn't take before, so now, but
he has no motion. He can onlytalk through blinking, and he's
just gaunt in weather. Itdoesn't even look like him. It
looks like a zombie of the manhe knew before
Eric Readinger (31:45):
he hit me with that comedy. So
Law Smith (31:47):
he tells me, he goes, priest is in there. And he goes,
you know, if it's your time togo, it's your time to go, and I
need you to let me know we'regoing to ask again, if you want
to, you want to take up pull theplug, because if you'd like us
to take you off life support,you know, blink one for yes and
(32:15):
two for no. And he said heblanked once, and they took him
off, and I think he passed. AndI was like, David, whoever's
making those options should haveswitched them,
Eric Readinger (32:30):
right? I thought you were gonna say those
blinking options are fucked.
Law Smith (32:36):
Think about it, I know. And then if
Eric Readinger (32:37):
he blinks twice, they're like, look, yes, yes, he
could have been
Law Smith (32:40):
on the way to blinking twice, right? No way to
Eric Readinger (32:44):
work up the energy. Yeah, yeah, that that's
good.
Law Smith (32:49):
And I told him that in the moment, and he was like,
God damn it, you're right.
Eric Readinger (32:54):
So too late. Oh, maybe a third time he comes back
from it, and he's like, quitunplugging me. And I wasn't
Law Smith (33:00):
trying to be funny. I was just like, it my on the
spectrum Asperger's brain. Waslike, that's not a good way to
do that.
Eric Readinger (33:09):
I knew it was gonna be about the logistics
side, yeah, the option, oh
Law Smith (33:12):
yeah, I wouldn't have brought it up. Yeah, that
Eric Readinger (33:15):
is a, I mean, tough way to go. Oh,
Unknown (33:21):
boy.
Eric Readinger (33:24):
Oh, why does it keep doing that? Because
Law Smith (33:26):
you don't know how to produce. Oh,
Unknown (33:40):
I just hit the wrong button. That's all i.
I guess we gotta go with this, huh? Whatever.
Law Smith (00:06):
Keep forgetting. Is it recording? Yeah, we're going,
well, this is the smooth jazz,cool beats,
Eric Readinger (00:14):
the same one in the last check. You can't even
trace it better.
Law Smith (00:24):
Yeah, we couldn't get him to say the number one comedy
business podcast in the
Eric Readinger (00:28):
world. We can. I just didn't do that. Yeah,
prompting, we
Law Smith (00:33):
had this sounds like a gym class hero, white guy.
Cover band. Keep it rapper.
Eric Readinger (00:39):
You had to make it about race. I never even
thought about the color of thisperson's skin. They're not real
Law Smith (00:45):
because maybe, well, it has
Eric Readinger (00:47):
to be like silver, like whatever computers
are made out of.
Law Smith (00:51):
Oh, you think they're you think the race is silver?
Eric Readinger (00:56):
Whoa, what would it you say it is Chrome white.
Law Smith (00:59):
He's a white guy. It's a white guy voice.
Eric Readinger (01:03):
I'm talking about him being a robot. Well,
speaking
Law Smith (01:06):
of robots, Okay, before we get into that, Zup
yak.com our sponsor, go to Zupyak.com promo code sweat. You
get hooked up with 30 days free.So 37 days total, if you do free

Eric Readinger (01:48):
I mean, if it's do I'm not going to pick it
apart. Actually, it should giveit 100 I'm not going to pick
sponsors apart. It should. Itshould you read my mind, though
I
Law Smith (01:57):
feel the same way, but at the same time you're
giving it a few inputs. Who areyou speaking to? What? What's
the audience? What? What shouldwe mention? And then you can put
in, you can put in certainkeywords you want in this
article,
Eric Readinger (02:10):
right? Okay, so if that's my fault,
Law Smith (02:13):
so if I wanted to do my bad blog post about Eric's a
soy boy, he doesn't believe inrace or color, I put, you know,
no color blindness. I put norace. I put stuff like
Eric Readinger (02:25):
that. No, I didn't say any of that. I said,
if they had a race, it would berobots. I know
Law Smith (02:30):
I was making it a completely different scenario,
not even talking about what wewere just talking
Eric Readinger (02:34):
about. Oh, my bad again. And
Law Smith (02:38):
something I've been sending over your way is the
incogni data removal. That linkis in the episode description.
That is the shiznit. Like, howmany things, how many data
broker websites you're on? Like,white pages.com, fast people
search.com. Those are kind ofthe more popular ones. People
may have touched those at somepoint, but it's got me off 181
(03:03):
different data brokers. Good foryou. That's crazy, dude. That
sucks. How much your informationis out there. Yeah.
Eric Readinger (03:10):
So cats out of the bag. But
Law Smith (03:13):
I know what. You know I told you on this show, like a
year ago or whatever I was like,I'm gonna slowly see if I can
just diminish, reduce the amountof that private info that's out
there. You know what sucks islike, when you buy a house,
people can, like, just look up
Eric Readinger (03:29):
all your shit. Does seem wrong? That's that's
really funny. Why is it forhouses and not cars? What I
mean, I don't I should be ableto look up your license plate
and be like, that's where youlive. Why? If I go to anyone.
You see why that's a problem. I
Law Smith (03:42):
can Zillow. I can Zillow what they paid for it,
and now have it confirmed,because it'll say their name
when they purchase, right? Yeah,it's kind of crazy. Other
sponsors, flow desk, emailmarketing, that's what I like to
use. Squarespace, call rail,LinkedIn premium, two months
free in the LinkedIn premium, ifyou want to send some cool guy
in mails to some people now Iinject mine in a while and Boo,
(04:06):
I have some that are like, nolie, 15 messages in a row. I
just let it
Eric Readinger (04:15):
run. Let's see how long this Happy New Year,
Valentine's Day. I knock themall out. Whole year of
celebrations from this guy.
Law Smith (04:21):
If I'm feeling sassy, I'm like, You should fire
whoever's doing this for you andhire me to do it for you. Right?
Sometimes that opens up aconversation.
Eric Readinger (04:29):
That's because that's what they want. Well, it
they have.
Law Smith (04:34):
They have to be, it's got to be cutting they if
someone's talk shit to you andyou're that person, you know how
clueless a lot of like peoplethat run their own business, and
they go, I could do my ownmarketing. It's like I got this.
Eric Readinger (04:46):
I'm just saying that's exactly what they want
you to do. Yeah, engage.
Law Smith (04:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, I know. And then I and then, if
they don't take bite on that asa real conversation, I ghost
them. So, mean, uh. Speaking ofrobots and technology, that AI
robot in China from February 21this was not a good thing to see
(05:11):
after taking an edible. Ifyou're listening, you may have
seen this already, but if you'rewatching the video,
Eric Readinger (05:21):
the robot gets crazy, right? Oh, there it is.
So then it just targets this.
Law Smith (05:26):
Break this down a little bit. So this robot, this
AI robot, this is what we're allkind of scared of, right? It
mimics, it mimics a guy inPhilly That's mad, like, right
body. It doesn't seem like aChinese guy would beef like
this. I mean, the lunch itthrows, oh, it threw a punch. I
thought it was just a shoulder.Oh,
Eric Readinger (05:48):
I don't know. It throws us something. I
literally, I thought
Law Smith (05:52):
this AI robot, by the way, no head on it. It has, like
a small, almost like, it's gotlike an oil can. It's, it
Eric Readinger (06:01):
looks like the bad guys in Super Mario Brothers
movie. Remember the originalone? That's gonna be a tough
little turtle heads. Or howabout, uh, Beetlejuice, yeah,
there you go. But
Law Smith (06:11):
instead of my head, it's like a black can of paint,
almost, yeah, but, and it'swearing, like a fleece, like,
Eric Readinger (06:19):
I have that same sweatshirt, like a hoodie,
Law Smith (06:22):
Old Navy, kind of like tech vest,
Eric Readinger (06:25):
right? Well, that makes the, you know,
Armageddon fun, but it
Law Smith (06:29):
has, like, some frills on the side. So it's
like, it's supposed to be havinga good time, and what it does,
it got drunk, bro, it happens.But that's what's wild to me, is
like it mimic, first off, doChinese people beef like that? I
don't know, absolutely. Do youthink so they do it like we all
do it? Is that a universal race?Of course. So I've look, in my
(06:50):
20s, I've been that robot. Imean, about
Eric Readinger (06:53):
Taiwan, that's why don't bring up.
Law Smith (06:57):
So they're at a it's a big Chinese parade, if you're
listening, there's a dragon guy,you know, one of those mascot
dragon people. They have, like,required at all their parades,
right? Like when they have fivepeople in a horse costume, it's
a dragon instead. And then what
Eric Readinger (07:12):
I will say, the the cops are wearing those fun
hats. What like the Russianswear, you know, the big furry
ones. George Costanza wore oneand a Seinfeld episode for the
whole time because it kept hiswhole body warm. Yeah,
Law Smith (07:27):
you forget it's chilly in a lot of parts
Eric Readinger (07:29):
of China. No, it's China.
Law Smith (07:32):
Oh, not Chile. Oh, what about it? Speaking of
Chile, to Chile. Uh, do you seeChilean?
Eric Readinger (07:43):
What? Chilean
Law Smith (07:45):
dudes? There's four dudes. It's Chilean.
Eric Readinger (07:48):
Chilean, right, right, same. I'm very worldly.
Word I'm very
Law Smith (07:55):
worldly. I've been drinking for a while, since we
since we delayed this. I waslike, I'm gonna have some some
booze. Did you this is secondbottle? Yeah,
Eric Readinger (08:04):
oh, I didn't drink a whole bottle. Oh, I was
gonna say, let's get this going.No,
Law Smith (08:07):
I finished. I polished off my other poor osos
vodka. Um, but what
Eric Readinger (08:14):
does it say with uh nanion ends, yeah, there's
Law Smith (08:18):
four guys that got caught. They were the guys
sneaking into all these NFLplayers houses to rob them. Oh,
you know how they got caughttaking a selfie of themselves
with all this shit, brilliant,and they put it on like,
Telegram or WhatsApp orsomething like that, to brag.
Works itself out. It's like mostcriminals this so dumb, like, if
you get in the mind of acriminal, that's like, step
(08:41):
number some, one of those threeother guys should have been
like, no, no.
Eric Readinger (08:45):
I mean, what are we? You know, movies want you to
think that criminals aremasterminds. Most of the time
they're robbing houses becausethey don't really have any other
skills.
Law Smith (08:56):
Well, back to this robot, okay, this is what people
are scared of. I'm surprised.It's not a bigger story, and
they haven't seen it a billiontimes already.
Eric Readinger (09:04):
Yeah, I mean, so parade gonna try and probably
keep this down. I bet a packed
Law Smith (09:10):
parade, there's a stage in between the stage and
the people at the gate at aparade or whatever, there's like
20 feet
Eric Readinger (09:20):
of police. What this thing is supposed to be
doing anyways? Well, it
Law Smith (09:24):
goes up and talks to it looks like it's talking to
someone that's talking shit toit. And then it goes up and
gives a short, at least ashoulder, like it's gonna do
something
Eric Readinger (09:33):
I like, how the person turned away with the
camera, like, Oh, get that.
Law Smith (09:37):
And it looks like it's talking shit to like an old
lady, yeah.
Eric Readinger (09:41):
Well, I don't think it exactly. Why will you
die? Well, that you should bedead already. You're so old.
I've
Law Smith (09:46):
been on, I've been on the record for on this show that
I'm not really worried about alot of this AI stuff. This kind
of made me a little nuts.
Eric Readinger (09:53):
I'm seeing a lot more ads for these things in
your house. No way.
Law Smith (09:57):
Dude, I saw what's it gonna. Do they had? Is it a
flashlight too? They had likethese, you
Eric Readinger (10:04):
know, AI engineers. They, they, they did
it in a simulation. But it waslike they gave this robot
autonomy in their lab, theirsimulated lab. And this thing
started immediately creating,like, software back doors and
trying to hack into other shit.And it was like, oh, boy, that
(10:26):
got quick, like it got out ofhere quick, like it immediately
started doing shady shit. Yeah,it
Law Smith (10:32):
needs a kill switch. It can't reach, fact, a physical
analog, right switch. And Ithink every
Eric Readinger (10:38):
time you switch one of these things on there,
immediately looking to cancelthat out. Well, that's
Law Smith (10:43):
such, that's what's really crazy about, is like,
what the software you put intothese things, whoever created it
is there's some nefarious kindof thing going on when they're
they're making the software forsaid robot, right? Yeah. I mean,
it's not just finding a loopholeon its own.
Eric Readinger (11:02):
Yeah, but I think that might be part of it.
Law Smith (11:04):
I think humans are born good. Maybe robots are born
bad.
Eric Readinger (11:08):
They're not really born I mean, you'd think
like you'd be able to write inand out.
Law Smith (11:16):
That's a good fire and hot dude. Anyways, settle
down.
Eric Readinger (11:21):
Matt Damon, you think you'd be able to write in
there like no matter what, humanlife comes first, and if it
makes you kill yourself, to killyourself to the robot, seems
like that's past. It doesn'tseem like that's like a
guarantee. Well, I guess what'stroubling
Law Smith (11:44):
about this video is it beefs like a Philly fan after
they lost a game. Yeah,
Eric Readinger (11:52):
you're just upset about the Super Bowl. I
I'm not
Law Smith (11:55):
a fan, but I didn't want that Super Bowl was like,
Man, this sucks, yeah, for mostof the country, yeah, a lot of
us didn't want to watch that,right? The bill, if the bills
are in it, that would be fun,but
Eric Readinger (12:09):
would have been cool. It
Law Smith (12:11):
doesn't even feel like Philly won it. That's how
like, low, low like expectationsof the Super Bowl was. It was
like, All right, so the net,this thing's been bugging me in
my crawl for about a couplemonths, and I probably thought
about it every day since I'veseen this chart. What the chart
(12:32):
this chart, I saw this online, Ithink on we have the data on
Instagram, my favorite nerd datafollow, and they showed the time
spent with parents as kids thatand how and it goes like
dramatically down how much timeyou spend now your parents. You
(12:52):
You spend a lot more time withyour parents than I would say
most people do, but probably itbummed me out to think that my
kids are going to be down inthis lower part of the
Eric Readinger (13:05):
graph. So we're talking the y axis is amount of
actual time, yeah, and theirlives spent. It's like 80% when
they're younger. And then yeah,and then the look like, I know I
What did you expect? Look,
Law Smith (13:19):
there's things that are out there that, you know,
but you're not, you haven'treally analytically thought
about it,
Eric Readinger (13:25):
you know? Yeah, just something you don't need to
really look analytically. Think
Law Smith (13:32):
maybe, I maybe it's a therapy session I need to go to,
because it's more, maybe more ofa bigger picture of things of
like, holy shit. The kids aregetting older. My kids are
getting older, and I feel likeit's slipping away, almost.
Eric Readinger (13:44):
I mean, this one's pretty I'm 40 time with
friends, with friends. Oh, wait,yeah, with friends. 40 and 50
are the lowest
Law Smith (13:58):
little bars. It makes sense that. One makes sense to
me that. I mean, that's playingout in real time right now,
Eric Readinger (14:03):
right? I was gonna say that one's pretty dead
on, yeah. I mean, look, I can't.I got a lot of plans next year.
You can
Law Smith (14:09):
see the little spike. A lot of my best friends live
within five miles of me, and Irarely see them. We have to,
like, book it in a month aheadof time. You know,
Eric Readinger (14:17):
JP pretends to not have a camera just to come
over and get my camera.
Law Smith (14:21):
Oh yeah, that's cute. Co workers. This one sucks too,
because you're like, Man, I wantto work. I was always like, I
want to work in an office wherethe people I don't hate I don't
hate everybody. You know, if Iwas working in house somewhere.
And it's like, when you see howmuch time you spend around co
workers in your life. And it'slike, right? And it's like, if
(14:44):
you don't like the people aroundyou, it's going to have a
negative effect on you big time,no matter what the job is. Yeah,
and like,
Eric Readinger (14:51):
then think about teaching you don't you got
another come back to the darkcoworkers,
Law Smith (14:58):
the internet's always you. Man, I
Eric Readinger (15:00):
know, trust me, I think about it all the time.
Yeah, and
Law Smith (15:04):
if you and I are working together, it's like the
output of five people a lot ofthe time. Yeah, hey, it's just
facts, man, spouse,
Eric Readinger (15:11):
time spent with spouse. I mean,
Law Smith (15:14):
I guess that makes sense. What about your side
piece right there? Where's thatred part in there,
Eric Readinger (15:20):
right? I mean, that one's not even time
Law Smith (15:24):
spent with what is that with
Eric Readinger (15:27):
household, children, most people.
Law Smith (15:31):
So we're looking at a medium.com, blog that we can put
in the episode description, ifyou guys are listening. But it's
one of those things where yousee how much time is the the
real commodity. I think abouttime a lot as well. Wow, am I
using this correctly, right?Yeah, and I've always had that,
like, I was a lazy high schoolkid, and then, for whatever
(15:55):
reason, kind of got it togetherand, like, which fill up
everything I could do, as much,do as many things as I could do,
kind of thing, right? Yeah,because I don't, you don't want
to go in your deathbed and go, Iwatched the office reruns like
40 times. I'm not gonna
Eric Readinger (16:11):
have any regrets, no. But I mean, like,
there's at that time you weredoing what you wanted to do,
there's a
Law Smith (16:17):
time and place for that, but at the same time, you
know, sometimes when you'relike, just farting around,
you're like, I could be doingsomething productive. Yeah,
that's probably better for meand possibly other people. Yeah,
Eric Readinger (16:27):
I guess I don't like to have regrets. Time spent
Law Smith (16:31):
alone goes dramatically up. That's why I
went, well, well, well, I don'tknow. Kind of looks a little
nice. I know.
Eric Readinger (16:39):
Look at that. Dads want to be alone. When does
that guy know? I mean, yeah,Ralphie
Law Smith (16:45):
Mays old joke is like, men want blow jobs and
silence, right?
Eric Readinger (16:52):
Yeah. I mean, you know that one, that one's
looking up, that's looking good,
Law Smith (16:58):
yeah? I mean, think of all the guy activities as I
mean, pretty much older guyactivities, golf, hunting,
fishing, these are all kind ofmostly quiet and like, Yeah, you
don't have to talk to anybodyunless you want to. Oh yeah. You
know, it's not like I'm a bridgeclub
Eric Readinger (17:16):
every day at school, there's a time after I
drop my class off to lunch, andI go back to the locker room and
sit in the office and the othercoaches in there, and we don't
say a word for 25 minutes.Somebody comes in tries, oh, my
God, it's just like, we don'tneed to say nothing. We could
(17:38):
talk when, when classes go like,you know, we don't, this is the
silent time. Yeah,
Law Smith (17:42):
this is our silent time. This is meditation time,
right? Yeah? Well, you're in athing where you sit. You're in a
day to day that is inundatedwith so many kids coming up to
you, I'm sure, and just talkingall the time. Oh, yeah, and you
can't not answer them. You can'tjust Buckingham palace guard,
just like, stone walling, yeah,
Eric Readinger (18:03):
I know, you know, I got kids looking on my
Instagram. You need to clean upyour backyard. I'm like, shut
up, really, yeah. Oh, just onein particular. That's
Law Smith (18:13):
not bad. I kind of like
Eric Readinger (18:14):
it, you know. But like, check a little bit
Sure, yeah. Oh, they keep me incheck. For sure. I don't even
I'm about to explain thistomorrow. Whoa. No, I was being
a good dad, and I allowed Averyto do one of my nails. I thought
she was just gonna paint it. Ifeel like
Law Smith (18:32):
the girls half the time fuck with you when they're
doing that. Oh, for sure, you'vegot a pink pinky nail. You look
like the gays coke dealer.
Eric Readinger (18:42):
I know I told I was like, Avery. If you ever see
somebody who has just one naillike this, don't hang out with
them. Cocaine nail. So
Law Smith (18:51):
keep it on.
Eric Readinger (18:52):
I might have to. It's really on there. Yeah, boy,
yeah. She like, did a wholething. I was had my hand under a
blue light. Didn't realize whatwas happening.
Law Smith (19:03):
Yeah, I've put the ixnay on that already. Dad's not
gonna put on makeup or nailstuff.
Eric Readinger (19:09):
I mean, this is a one time deal, yeah? But I
think it's like, she went allout,
Law Smith (19:13):
sure, but I think it's like that thing of like,
they start doing it, and they'relike, made this look as stupid
as I can. I think
Eric Readinger (19:20):
she was just practicing. For her own future
nails. Just use a shitty one onme. Yeah? Oh, well, maybe show
you nail tech. They're gonna I'mgonna have to explain that
tomorrow.
Law Smith (19:33):
I'm more of a shellac guy anyway, you know what? Yeah,
you're late on your sound drops.Dog,
Eric Readinger (19:41):
that's new setup again. Oh, yeah, this
Law Smith (19:45):
is a totally new setup. 100%
Eric Readinger (19:47):
it is kind of I had to redo all the wires, yeah,
make them look all nice. May
Law Smith (19:53):
have needed that a bit. You know, we haven't
changed much in this. We mightneed to get out of this studio
and. Do another one? Yeah, I cantalk to that happy hour holidays
guys. They have a podcast studiothat they don't use a lot. Okay,
we just have to figure out howto, like, have some stuff there,
(20:13):
you know?
Eric Readinger (20:15):
Man, I know that's where it gets. That's
weird, because then it's like,Oh, I gotta, what am I gonna do?
All the computer every time,haul the expensive equipment, or
we leave it? Yeah, I love it'sour place, shit.
Law Smith (20:26):
I'd love to get a new office slash studio again, but I
think I'm a ways away from that
Eric Readinger (20:33):
on that extra cost, yeah, unless we need to
buy a whole building. Oh,
Law Smith (20:40):
my God, now you're getting me wet. Don't, don't do
the AC was working.
Eric Readinger (20:46):
Oh, how do you feel? Don't you tease me. So
Law Smith (20:52):
I went to our friend of the program, David. How far
are we into this episode? Iforgot to hit the timer. Oh, it
doesn't say it on here? No, itdoesn't have a run time. No, I
see it next to the red light,
Eric Readinger (21:08):
not telling you what it is, though. 21 Okay,
Eagle Eye, good for you. Dude,did you actually see it? Or you
can
Law Smith (21:17):
guess? I'm guessing, but I can kind of see it. I can
kind of make it out. Can't hearvery well, but I can see, like a
fucking fighter pilot. Oh, Itried to write a little bit of a
set list for the episode. I justwant I don't think I've ever, I
don't know if you've ever seenthe video. This is one of those
(21:37):
old viral videos, but I thoughtI'd just be funny, and I meant
to tee it up for you, but haveyou seen
Eric Readinger (21:44):
share it with everybody else? Now you're gonna
have to Google it. Well, I wantyou to do it.
Law Smith (21:50):
It's, it's a guy in a church, and he's like, they're
trying to pray the gay way,almost, kind of thing I got the
guy I don't like men's no more.I like women. Women. You haven't
seen that one? I think I have.It's pretty, I mean, it's pretty
legend. That was your set list.We watched. I didn't make it
(22:12):
sober. You know, here's
Eric Readinger (22:14):
something we're JP and I were talking about for
one thing, have you noticed howmany car washes are going up?
Yeah,
Law Smith (22:21):
we've talked about it. We talked about on the show,
did we Yes, God, I got a badmemory, because it's such a good
business. You don't have to have
Eric Readinger (22:27):
employees. Maybe anyways. Or maybe we were
talking about two, taking itnext level, you know, and like
making a big show out of things,or having a reason for the whole
family to enjoy. And this washis idea. But figuring out a way
to have, like, a game out of it,where your car goes through, and
(22:48):
it's like laser tag at your car,and they project targets onto
it, or you could even shoot thesoap out, or something. The idea
being is taking these normalthings and going next level. So
stick a dog in there, put a dogtotally there. New idea, what
the shooting laser is that a carwash. Yes, it is. Show me where
(23:09):
that exists. You
Law Smith (23:09):
want to have some activity while they're in the
car. That's all. That's afeature. No,
Eric Readinger (23:13):
you get out of the car, and then you're
shooting the car. Oh, okay,
Law Smith (23:18):
how, okay. How does that? You could do that anyway.
Well,
Eric Readinger (23:20):
you gotta have a good laser tag guy. Well, I know
one,
Law Smith (23:24):
no, like, like, a laser like, scope like, so it's
on the car. That's
Eric Readinger (23:29):
why we need the laser tag guy to work out the
deets you'd either need,
Law Smith (23:33):
like, Google Glasses, or no one wants to wear that
shit. Or, yeah, I look I likethe gamification. You just
reminded me, I was looking uphow many people play New York
Times games, because you'restarting to see this permeate
into other kind of lifestylebrands. Netflix has games on
there, really, yeah, and it'sthere. I think it's Xbox. I
(23:57):
think Wordle created this thingwhere they go. Oh, my God, so
many people play Wordle and payfor premium New York Times
because of it. They havecrossover, like they have to
have crossover revenue from it,I guess. I mean, there's
millions of people that play itevery morning. So you got daily
active, uh, viewers, right?Yeah. So that's the big thing.
(24:17):
If you have an app, you got it,that's your number one stat,
really, is daily active users.And then your New York Times,
those fucking once, once theystop having a boner for Trump
running for, you know,President, they, they, they
basically have gone downhillsince 2016 big time, totally,
Eric Readinger (24:36):
I totally paid attention to all of that. Well,
it's
Law Smith (24:38):
one of those things where the games, I think I see
it in other stuff. There's a lotof games being, like, thrown
into a thing that's been kind oflike, right? Never had it, yeah.
Eric Readinger (24:51):
I mean, I think LinkedIn, what as games? I play
three LinkedIn puzzles
Law Smith (24:56):
every day. Why? Because I send it to my buddy,
Brendan. We, we think we'resmarter than the other person.
Okay, so we do Wordle, send thatscore over. Send that to my
aunt, who's 80 as well, by theway,
Eric Readinger (25:10):
something she, she, she deduced
Law Smith (25:14):
what my starting word was, and then claims that I
stole it from her. You know, youhave your starter word in Wordle
Eric Readinger (25:22):
audio,
Law Smith (25:23):
you wish, okay, but it's, but I'm like, Ryan, you're
80. I can't fucking know. Okay,come on now, come on now. Those
are my start. The problem is mystarter word, it'll never be.
I've come to the conclusionit'll never be. Well, I'll never
get a one for one on it. Whywould you get it's because it's
(25:47):
kind of an obscure ish word, butit gets me tell us the word, No
way, dude, it's like, secret. Idon't have many secrets. That
was the word, but I like whereyour head's at, gamifying things
that were previously born as afeature onto it, right? Yeah, if
you can get the kids to want togo there, you know, yeah.
Eric Readinger (26:09):
I mean, just the way they're building these
fucking car washes, making themtwo stories high and stuff,
making it this big deal, big,you know.
Law Smith (26:17):
No, I told you my buddy in LA, he has like, 20 car
washes, and he and he was, hestarted doing this 20 years ago,
and he's fucking, murdering it,yeah. And I was like, You okay?
And I talked to him about twoyears ago. I'm like, You're not
worried about, like, less carsbeing available, you know, auto
driving in like, 10 years. He'slike, in 10 years, he's like,
(26:40):
hopefully I'll be able to sellit, if that, if I really see
that coming, it'll still getdirty, right? And then he's
like, and more people, he'slike, it actually helps that
there's more competition becausemore people are instead of not
doing it. You know, your biggestcompetition is just not going
(27:01):
for them.
Eric Readinger (27:02):
It's just doing it at home. Is there some kind
of crazy bird poop Armageddoncoming that we're not aware of,
that they're like, really gonnacash in? No,
Law Smith (27:13):
they get you on the they get you on a subscription
model. I did one near me thatwas 15 bucks for the first three
months, and immediately, on day89 killed
Eric Readinger (27:24):
it. Well, how much is it after that 60 Jesus?
And you
Law Smith (27:28):
know, how many people forget that stuff? I'm very good
about, like, if I sign up forsomething that I don't really
want, long term, I put an emailand schedule it.
Eric Readinger (27:39):
I know it's a one time thing. Yeah, cancel it
right then, right there. If I,you know, especially through
your phone, that's easy. My onlyfans,
Law Smith (27:45):
subs, yeah,
Eric Readinger (27:47):
we get that goes, you know, that's
perpetual, yeah. Can't just,well,
Law Smith (27:51):
I'm supporting artists, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've never actually been on thesite, but I, I love guys that
openly talk about it. I guesscomics I'm hanging out with,
but, I mean, they do really feellike they are supporting the
person I'm like, you know,you're talking to, like, either
a programmatic bot in the chator a dude of a management team
(28:13):
for
Eric Readinger (28:14):
this chick? Yeah, yeah, you're like, a
really fast typer. I mean,
Law Smith (28:19):
we've Another thing we've said on this show for a
long time, we didn't know COVIDreally shined a light on how
many the market size, just themarket size of lonely men
online. And I don't even thinkwe've, we've hit peak yet.
Eric Readinger (28:36):
Oh, it's probably gonna get lonelier.
Well, I mean, more online thereis,
Law Smith (28:42):
and I think it's like having adverse effects, and
other I hear a lot my favoritesto ask women about dating app
stories. And I'm like, how manydicks have you got sent? She's
like, all of them are like, toomany. I don't even know, like
too many. I'm like, dude,straight up. Just straight up,
just sending that all the I'venever sent one. Never, have,
(29:02):
never, will,
Eric Readinger (29:02):
no Me, neither. Why would you it's never worked.
Well, no one's
Law Smith (29:09):
that's for sure, whatever, but guys have to get a
they have to get like, a thrillout of sending that and being
like, there's something weirdthis. They got to get something
out of that. It can't be just apure numbers, boom, hour from
King of
Eric Readinger (29:23):
the Hill game. Yeah, it makes them horny
somehow. Yeah,
Law Smith (29:27):
I'll send thigh picks, no problem. But yeah, I
just think those are funnybecause I have cartoonishly big
legs.
Eric Readinger (29:34):
Everybody loves it. Everybody loves those. Um,
what were we just talking aboutthe
Law Smith (29:41):
car wash, car wash, car wash, make dude, those
things print money, and it's ifyou have the ones where you have
no employees. No,
Eric Readinger (29:51):
actually, I was thinking about the robots,
because the loneliness, it'sonly going to get worse when
they start making these thingswith boobs. Yeah. You know.
Well, yeah, it's gonna get realweird. Well,
Law Smith (30:03):
I've got a, I got a little story. I think we can end
on, okay, because it's, it's alittle sad kind of story. Or
over, I was over at a referendumthe program David Downings house
for dinner the other night. Doyou mean it sad? No, well, he
was telling me a sad story.Okay, so he, he says hello and
(30:24):
fuck you, by the way, right,right for, not for
Eric Readinger (30:28):
on his dinner. I know,
Law Smith (30:30):
dude, old gay guys, don't they don't like you not
showing up. I know, I know youneed to send them an edible
range, able. Okay,
Eric Readinger (30:40):
what does that mean? But, okay, edible
Law Smith (30:41):
arrangement okay, just like calling it edible and
arrangeable. Yeah, so he'stelling me a story. He has a
friend in hospice. Fuckingterrible man. He's, he's on,
he's on life support, right?This could be dark funny. So
Eric Readinger (31:02):
I say, I sure hope so.
Law Smith (31:04):
So he tells me the story about his friend. He's, I
think he told me he's like, sixfoot tall, you know, just a
normal kind of man. But he's nowin hospice. He weighs 87 pounds.
Oh, my God, he's on his last,this is his last kind of like
congregation with a priest, anurse, him and another person or
(31:26):
something, and they're alltalking to him. I guess they've
pulled the plug twice that itdidn't take before, so now, but
he has no motion. He can onlytalk through blinking, and he's
just gaunt in weather. Itdoesn't even look like him. It
looks like a zombie of the manhe knew before
Eric Readinger (31:45):
he hit me with that comedy. So
Law Smith (31:47):
he tells me, he goes, priest is in there. And he goes,
you know, if it's your time togo, it's your time to go, and I
need you to let me know we'regoing to ask again, if you want
to, you want to take up pull theplug, because if you'd like us
to take you off life support,you know, blink one for yes and
(32:15):
two for no. And he said heblanked once, and they took him
off, and I think he passed. AndI was like, David, whoever's
making those options should haveswitched them,
Eric Readinger (32:30):
right? I thought you were gonna say those
blinking options are fucked.
Law Smith (32:36):
Think about it, I know. And then if
Eric Readinger (32:37):
he blinks twice, they're like, look, yes, yes, he
could have been
Law Smith (32:40):
on the way to blinking twice, right? No way to
Eric Readinger (32:44):
work up the energy. Yeah, yeah, that that's
good.
Law Smith (32:49):
And I told him that in the moment, and he was like,
God damn it, you're right.
Eric Readinger (32:54):
So too late. Oh, maybe a third time he comes back
from it, and he's like, quitunplugging me. And I wasn't
Law Smith (33:00):
trying to be funny. I was just like, it my on the
spectrum Asperger's brain. Waslike, that's not a good way to
do that.
Eric Readinger (33:09):
I knew it was gonna be about the logistics
side, yeah, the option, oh
Law Smith (33:12):
yeah, I wouldn't have brought it up. Yeah, that
Eric Readinger (33:15):
is a, I mean, tough way to go. Oh,
Unknown (33:21):
boy.
Eric Readinger (33:24):
Oh, why does it keep doing that? Because
Law Smith (33:26):
you don't know how to produce. Oh,
Unknown (33:40):
I just hit the wrong button. That's all i.
