Law Smith (02:05):
we officially have, we're not

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:11):
working the one who's been not wanting
to jinx it the whole time untilmoney's in the bank. I know what
I'm saying. It's officially bythe time this comes

Law Smith (02:19):
out, it shall be deposited or, okay, yeah, we
just don't release this. I canedit it out. That's that doesn't

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:25):
change the jinx factor. Well, there's
nothing to know about Jinx, bro.Well, no, the

Law Smith (02:30):
contract signed, I've been smoking both contract
signed, it's official. Cash ison the way. Someone wanted to
buy the name of this podcast fortheir own sweat equity podcast.
Kudos to you in 2017 fortrademarking this. That

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:49):
was kind of the number, oh, some

Law Smith (02:51):
people call me cool Eric. That was the kind of
plucky kind of foresight we usedto have now.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:56):
Yeah, energy to do extra. Yeah,

Law Smith (03:01):
and you renewed it too in April, I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:04):
think, yeah, just in time. And

Law Smith (03:08):
we like to go into Apple podcasts and do a cease
and desist, because it's kind offunny with anybody that had,
well, there's always, like,every six months, probably seven
different podcasts called sweatequity show up. Yeah. I mean,
maybe every year, I don't know,yeah, yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:22):
but we'd

Law Smith (03:23):
like to go in and just give them a cease and
desist through Apple's legalpart of the podcast.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:28):
Apple podcast, quite easy, yeah, I can
actually do it in batches. Youcould do it on your

Law Smith (03:33):
phone while we're talking here, you know, on your
laptop. Yeah, okay, sure. It's10 minutes. I'm

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:39):
not gonna now, I know. Well, now we
got to figure out the next one.You

Law Smith (03:44):
get kudos for the foresight on that and renewing
it and and I'm looking at thetrademark frame that we'll have
to hand over.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:53):
But keeping the frame

Law Smith (03:56):
while you're saying, why you're saying Don't jinx it
yet is because it happened.Let's see, two days ago,
officially, and there's twoparts to the payment, half up,
half at the half, 30 days later,yeah, and so, plus the

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (04:10):
past, plus the past, the past for us.

Law Smith (04:15):
Oh, yeah. But

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (04:16):
I mean, so, you know, I think,

Law Smith (04:18):
look, I I'm maybe, maybe I'm being romantic about
it, but I think it's more, Ithink it's kind of the best
story to tell, you know, for abusiness show sure of about
literal sweat equity, like weput a lot of effort into it,
kind of worked out and got nowwe can maybe reinvest some of
that into the show studio,something, You know, yeah. So I

(04:42):
think it'll be a good thingultimately. I don't love having
to rebrand, but at the sametime, we're not gonna stop
podcasting. I don't want to haveto

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (04:51):

podcast. I have so many loginswith Eric at sweat equitypod.com

to Google password, just seewhich ones are connected. Let me
be miserable about it for asecond. We'll just start
forwarding everything to a newemail now so you have me make
sure you can go through for yougot we got 28 days now I want to
launch a rocket through it. Now,if they don't pay the second

(05:19):
half, we get money for nothing.And yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (05:23):

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:39):
be the control group? No. Everybody
else is the control group. No,no. We did he way. Funner for
me, if you just did it,entrepreneur

Law Smith (22:47):
shit, I think was one I had. I was trying to play with
the word profit, like the CNBCshow with Marcus Yeah,
lemononis,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:59):
the profiteers, something

Law Smith (23:01):
like, yeah, profiting. I couldn't figure it
out, obviously. Well, you know,how much do we want to spend
time on this bit? I mean, it'skind of the whole show at this
point. Well, we got a lot out ofit. I did look up some that I
don't know if I should put onhere. Oh, Molly, I'm gonna have
to save a few for after. What doyou mean? Well, I looked at the

(23:21):
if there's a trademark on them,some, you know, I went on the
government site.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (23:27):
What are you Oh, you're
worried that it's gonna getscooped up.

Law Smith (23:30):
I mean, why? Why put it out there? Plus, you know, I
don't want, I don't want myfeelings hurt on air for a real
one. I had, like, bajillionairesas a real name, okay? Or
gazillionaires, Brazilian airs,$100,000 millionaires, okay? I
like that phrase, greed is goodbecause I was watching Wall

(23:54):
Street, yeah? No, I was tryingto play with this. What's an old
school business term, right?Like, what would you think of JD
Rockefeller, or when you'vewatched Citizen Kane, I like old

(24:16):
school business terms sometimes,like, tycoon,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:22):
okay, coffee's for closers magnet.

Law Smith (24:26):
What is a railroad magnet

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:28):
with a magnet? Yeah.

Law Smith (24:32):
Moguls, good, but it's kind of used. Big wigs, fat
cats, big shots, okay? Mavens,no, guys, if you're wondering
what the creative process islike, rocket through it. This is
the part where I'm throwing justwords that are fun that I didn't

(24:54):
finish as a name, yeah. Butsometimes you go, you can ping
pong off of that. Oh, here'sone.

Unknown (25:01):
Might be looking at me like that. Here's one good point
to me.

Law Smith (25:04):
There's, there's got to be a podcast called this.
I've been smoking dope tosubreddit, both of our favorite
subreddits, talk to me like I'mfive, okay, because or explain
to me like I'm

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:18):
five. That's what punished me. Like
I'm five,

Law Smith (25:20):
no, but we have to ask everybody to explain
everything to us like we'refive,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:24):
and we dress like five year olds and
have giant lollipops in ourhands. Oh,

Law Smith (25:28):
okay, well, I didn't know it was gonna get Fogle
weird, but yeah, we

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:33):
throw a fit.

Law Smith (25:34):
I was trying to do a bit about, you know, the
celebrity or, you know, thepedophile Hunter shows on
YouTube. We need a celebritypedophile Hunter Show on NBC,
where they go after, like KevinSpacey, Oh, I
thought the celebrity was doingthe hunting No. And then that,
well, that'd be cool to be cool.And then I was single, your
ghost hunting show, StevenSeagal, and they could just go

(25:55):
pedophiles. They
could just go after Dame Jane,God, I can't talk today, Dame
Judy Dench, and like the ghostshow that

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:03):
you're telling me, they don't find it.
Wait, what do you mean? What arethe who's

Law Smith (26:07):
there's, oh, maybe it was a different ghost show, or
someone else told me about it.Those ghost shows were all the
same. Or they're like, there's,there's spirits in this
building, and then they neverfind anything. But they made
plenty of

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:18):
shit, dude. Okay,
you know what? I mean, I'vewatched way more than you would
believe. There's

Law Smith (26:22):
ghost hunting shows, and sometimes they don't find it
Sure, yeah, they could just goafter. I was trying to think of
who's the most belovedcelebrity, I was like, Dame Judy
ditch probably what that's deadthat? No, that would be the
celebrity pedophile Hunter. Isshe dead? I don't know. Ruth
Bader Ginsburg's dead. You

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:40):
were talking about ghosts.

Law Smith (26:41):
I was trying to make it. I botched this pitch so bad
I want to launch a rocketthrough

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:48):
it. Celebrity time. It actually made
sense this episode. Celebritypedophile
Hunter rockets.
Celebrity pedophile I mean, Ithought you need to go back to
that's a joke. Idea of that's ajoke on stage. Not Jane, no, it
needs to be an old badasscelebrity pedophile likewood at

(27:10):
90 Stephen skull, that's what Isaid. Hunting. Did you hear me
say that earlier?

Unknown (27:15):
No, no, you

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:16):
didn't hear me say that? Okay, stop. I
did for real,

Law Smith (27:20):
because I was like, you're an idiot.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:22):
You don't know how to talk. That's,
that's first one. I

Law Smith (27:24):
said, that's the monolog in my head. Yeah, but
I'm tripping over words. Man,it's a CBD. I'm so high on CBD,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:32):
That's so creepy.

Law Smith (27:33):
I thought, you like, explain to me, like, I'm five,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:37):
don't you? I do subreddit, um, and

Law Smith (27:40):
we got the all subreddit going right right
there. Well,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:44):
yeah, I feel like I don't even know if
I'm still subscribed to it. Ifeel like I saw like I kept
being like people asking like,stupid questions. Explain to me
how do taxes work? Well, thatone, just don't post that one
publicly, like Google.

Law Smith (28:02):
I like actually seeing those, because how many
people want the answer to that?And you're like, wow, okay,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (28:08):
it's okay. Think of something
stupider. I don't know. How aredog babies made? Explain it,
like, up five. Oh, tell me,right? I don't know. Tell me.
Well, I told you I unsubscribedfrom the subreddit, so I don't
know either, but I'm just sayingthere's a lot of stupid shit out
there. And

Law Smith (28:24):
I don't I this one I thought might be good, kind of
funny, but it is kind of slangfor right now, try hard. I don't
even know if you know that one,but the kids will call you a try
hard if you like, show effort insomething. And I'm like, I like
that? Yeah? I try hard, yes,you're not him, and then try

(28:45):
hard, like hard penis,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (28:49):
yes, thank you. But the you're not
him, podcast, you're

Law Smith (28:53):
not him. Oh, he is him.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (28:55):
I am him. No, I said it right,
yeah, you're not him. He GotGame? No, that's the thing kids
say. I know when they think likethey're, like, trying to put
kids in their place, they

Law Smith (29:06):
say they're not. Am they say it on SportsCenter.
Well, there

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (29:09):
you go. Um, I've watched Sports
Center, and so it's

Law Smith (29:13):
gotten better when they when they had scam in the
morning, and I'm like, it saysscam with a colon in the middle,
because all they did was reportNew York and like, la shit. It
was like, Who? No one cares thatyou have an LA studio,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (29:29):
right? Not one size of an airplane
hangar.

Law Smith (29:32):
Yeah, you show like the Santa Monica Pier. You guys
are 20 miles from

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (29:38):
that. There's a lot of tapping going
on over there. What are double

Law Smith (29:41):
clicking my mouse? Girl,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (29:45):
scrolling hard. Scroll so hard. No, I
scroll so hard. Podcast,

Law Smith (29:51):
I thought win, win, win would be funny if we did an
office podcast. Sure. Touch thebase. Touch base. It's not bad

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:05):
touch the base,

Law Smith (30:07):
or just touch base. It works. But I'm just trying to
get a show for a dick, right?8020 is a real one. I thought
would be good, because that kindof exists everywhere. It's first
thought of like kind of in thebusiness world, professional
world, but the 8020, ruleexpands way beyond that. If we

(30:28):
did just

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:28):
the tips, we just take the triangle
on the end of it and just hangit off the side, like this
triangle here, and just rotateit down, but the tips cut off.
Yeah. So that's done, yeah,

Law Smith (30:44):
I think that. I think there is a show called that.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:49):
Oh, dude, this circumcision, this
one. I used to say this,

Law Smith (30:52):
this one I need your help with. But I was trying to
go, this is a good phrase touse. You know, my favorite word
is girthy, because it's nottechnically a bad word, right?
Yep, it's fun. It's fun. I wasthinking, Okay, we need
something about progress us, youknow, either business progresses

(31:15):
or gets better, you know, thecause in the continuous
improvement kind of thing. Andthen I was like, What about
grower? Not a shower show or

Unknown (31:27):
something like shower, yeah,

Law Smith (31:29):
it'll spell, you have to put a dash between the, like,
E and W. But like, I was tryingto play with growth. Grower not
a show, because you like to talkabout a little bit of the kind
of human personal growth stuffas well. Yes, and like, I was
trying to play with, grow, showor something like that.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (31:52):
I don't hate the I could much
better visually, I think, thanit is audibly. That's

Law Smith (32:00):
why I was like, I need your kind of input or
creative help on that, becausekick that one around for a
while. See, yeah, there'ssomething funny we could do
there that would have would besticky if anybody heard the
name, you know, let's see yourmother's a cunt. Now,

Unknown (32:21):
that's not a good one. It's okay.

Law Smith (32:26):
How about EBITDA? I know you'd hate that. So fun.
Yeah, earnings, before interest,taxes, depreciation,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (32:38):
and I'll talk EBITDA. I did think
for

Law Smith (32:41):
you of a coach one, uh, huh, how about PE ratio?
It's a business term, okay, uh,this one would be a funny PP
ratio.
Well, I was going PE coach, but,oh,
profit, earnings ratio, yes,

Unknown (33:00):
I got it. Um,

Law Smith (33:02):
I was thinking that, how about this one would be kind
of funny, but you'd have, Ithink it'd be funny red. I was
thinking of Bj Upton. What doesBJs nickname stand for? Boss

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (33:14):
Man Junior.

Law Smith (33:15):
So what if we just had boss man's? What? Just call
it boss man's,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (33:22):
Okay, boss man's, because it'd be boss
men, yeah, yeah. It's

Law Smith (33:27):
kind of a funny. It's,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (33:29):
I do, like, just I like, boss
man's. It's kind of, it's kindof witty. We're the boss man,
yeah, we're the boss man. What'syour podcast called boss man's?
Yeah, we say we're the bossfans. Why? Why is it called that
we're the boss man's becausethat's what we are. Yeah? Like,
you always use it incorrectly,right? Never. And they're like,

(33:49):
you're in charge. And then somegirl will come boss man, don't
you understand? Some girl

Law Smith (33:53):
who loves reading comes up and she's like, isn't
it bossman? And you're like, whydon't you get back in the
kitchen, sweetie. It's calledthe boss man's Yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:05):
it's on the short list. Okay,

Law Smith (34:07):
wow. I'm glad I pitched that one.

Unknown (34:08):
I almost didn't. It's fun.

Law Smith (34:11):
I don't think I have any other ones that I want to
say out loud. Man, I asked chatGPT just to get a jumping off
point for some of these. Man,still, shit is not witty. I'll
tell you that, huh? It gave melike, here's a bunch of dad
jokes. What
I didn't ask for that, huh?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:33):
I mean, maybe it's a step ahead
and we're not even

Law Smith (34:37):
realizing it outside the Harry box. Hey, yo, that's
been our episode. Had to leaveon a high note. You.

(35:10):
You got time for real Scrabble.
