Eric, how are you? I'm good. Good to see you. We got the most feared woman in the country, the terrorist hunter, Mimi Schmidt. Mimi, how are you?

I'm doing great. How are you doing today?

Great, great. Glad to have you on. And we've got the Zen master. Breathe in the mailing, Breathe out the marketing. Mike Zano. Mike, how are things?

There we go. Going well, going well. I just worked 48 hours at the fire station, so I'm excited to be here relaxing on the couch, talking with you guys.

All right, good. Good for you. I'm sure you're tired. I love it when you call me Big Papa. Tate Litchfield. Tate, how are you?

I'm really good. Happy to be on here.

And if you haven't checked out lots yet, just go to landgeek.com lots. Look over Tate's shoulder. And speaking of looking over someone's shoulder, last but not least, we got Scott Todd from scotttod. Net. Landmodo. Scott, how many more websites should we talk about?

No, I think we're good.

Okay.

All right, we can start rattling off. I'm like, I don't know. I just need to give one link and then have them all pointed at the same place.

Exactly, exactly. But today's podcast is sponsored by Flight School and Flight School Live. Learn more. Just go to Land Geek Calm Training and learn how you are going to start your own land investing business in real time, doing deals in real time with your land geek Sherpa, taking you up that mountain of land investing. All right, so today's topic, because we are now fully into summer kids are swimming camps, heat, sleeping in, all that good stuff, I thought we would talk about our summer reading list. But before we talk about our summer reading list, I think we should talk a little bit about Student Spotlight, Larry Overstreet. I spoke to Larry this morning, and it just turns out that he was able to give us one of the biggest compliments that we can get on the roundtable. He said after listening to the Roundtable podcast about how you guys handle a seller that gets multiple offers, even though after they accepted your offer, then they got a higher offer. I dealt with it in textbook style. So the seller he offered, I want to say, like 5,000 for the parcel. He got an offer for a higher offer, accepted it from Larry, and then Calls him back, says, I got another offer from another company, not from our group, by the way, for 8,000. Larry said, okay, I get it. If I were you, I would take that offer. No problem. That being said, it is my experience that that person is way overpaying, and they are going to discover that they're way overpaying. And during due diligence, they're going to come up with a bunch of reasons why they're overpaying and come about to where we are right now. I'm not going to play any games with you. This is the number. So if you want to take my. My deal first, like you said you would, not a problem. But I told no hard feelings if you want to go with the other group, he's like, let me sleep on it. Give me 24 hours. Comes back, he's like, I'm gonna go with you, Larry. Beautiful. Worked perfectly. So, see? Actually works. Listening to the Roundtable podcast, reading Eric Peterson.

I think that's pretty great. Someone is out there actually listening to us and putting some of those principles into practice. That's great.

It was great. You know how he ended the call with me?

Let freedom ring.

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Mimi, Larry's doing great, isn't he?

He is making such great progress. I'm really proud of him. I'm really enjoying working with him.

Yeah, it's great. He's got 16 parcels now in inventory.

Yep. And delegating and automating, freeing up his time to expand his business.

Yeah, because you can always make more money, but you can't get more time. And so he's actually developing a real business as opposed to another job for himself and getting out of solo economic dependency. I haven't mentioned solo economic dependency in a while. I thought I'd throw it out there. You should just do a podcast on the definition of solo economic dependency. If you're not working, you're not making any money.

Why?

We all do this. Right? Right, Zen master.

Correct. So I had to unmute myself. Yeah. No, no.

And I always like to pick on Mike because he's actually the only one in the group still with a job. I mean, look, you're saving lives. It's very. It's very noble. It's fine.

No offense taken. I love it.

Look, you. You literally can't outsource somebody else going into a burning building.

No, no, can't do that.

Nice, though, wouldn't it?

The city has outsourced it to us.

The city has outsourced it to you. Look, someone's got to do it.

They left it to the professionals.

They leave it to the professionals. Exactly. All right, well, since we're picking on Mike, why don't we start with Mike? Your summer reading list. What are you reading, Mike?

I'm gonna be straight up, 100% honest. I don't have a huge reading list because the books I'm reading are actually pretty involved. And so, you know, I thought about this, and we said about summer reading lists and whatnot. And what I'm trying to do is, like, really take action on the books I'm reading. And there's a couple of them that. So I've gone. One that I'm doing right now we talked about, and it's gonna take me a while because it's an absolutely huge book is Maps of Meaning by Jordan Peterson. And I actually bought the actual book itself. So most of the time, I'm doing. Most of the time I'm doing Audible. And, you know, this one, I like to read along with them. And look, this is diagrams in there. And it's just an incredible book about understanding the mind and just everything. So in line with that, I did listen to his 12 Rules for Life, and I am going to go through that again, because it's pretty heavy. I mean, the 12 rules for life is. It's just got some incredible stuff in there. So after Maps of Meaning with Ray Dalio. Sorry, with Jordan Peterson, I'm gonna go back to that. But I'm still. I'm still hammering through. I went through Ray Dalio's principles and back to the beginning, because that is just like. It's just like having the world's greatest, like, kind of motivator in your ear. When you listen to him talk about, you know, the different principles that he's, you know, he's basically just. It's just empowering, really. So Ray Dalio principles. Another one. Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. I'm still into that. It's kind of like real world. I'm not Game of Thrones because it doesn't have all that weird, mystical, all that, but it's still. It takes you into a different time frame. And I remember seeing somewhere that so many, like, hot billionaires had recommend this book. I'm like, why the heck would they recommend Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World? But then start listening to this book and how he. Then his, you know, his legacy passes on to his children and his grandchildren. All these different. It's just. Just incredible. I mean, some of the stuff's kind of horrific, but it's really, it's eye opening and it's another very big book. So it's not something that I'm just gonna cruise right through. So really I'm gonna be straight up that these, these are gonna take up the most my time. Now the other thing is tools for Titans I have sitting on my desk and I always pick that and rip it open and just look at somebody and just, you know, try to take action on something because there's so many cool characters in there that are real life people really achieving high level success in the chosen industry. And a lot of it can cross over to what we do or anybody does. So I look at that and say, okay, what can I employ from this person's lifestyle to mine and try to take action on it. So, you know, it's not a huge list, but it's kind of deep.

It's kind of deep, Mike. You know you got like a breezy summer reading list. I mean this is like University of Chicago summer reading. Mean, it's really, really heavy, heady stuff there, all of them. I mean you're not. I mean, holy cow.

Well, I enjoy that kind of, you know, I like the way that shifts you shift your brain when you listen to this stuff and cause you to think about things you normally wouldn't have and re examine life itself and then that. How's it play into the business? Well, because it gives you fresh perspective, right? And a higher perspective like you said. You just said you can always make more money, you can't get more time. Well, there's only one life, right? So taking a kind of a bigger look at it and seeing how your business plays into it. Because I think all of us at a certain level, it's not like we talk about taking time off from our being able to not work our business on this, but it's really. We're talking about the same thing. It's our life, right? It's in. And it's just, just because we're not the ones doing the business. But delegate automating. But still it's an integral part of how we make ourselves move forward and how we accomplish things. So it's basically all about life. So our model allows you also the ability to do things. And Mark, I gotta say, I'm always inspired by you. And you talk about your mentor who does the soccer balls and I tell Laura, it's like, you know, as we get better and better at being able to just relax more and more, we also have to look for something That's a bigger. What can we. What's important to us, you know, And I know that you talk about that, and I want to thank you for that and for. You always bring that up, especially at the boot camps. You bring up. You have a whole section you do on this, and it's really powerful. When you don't have to spend all your time working, then what, you just like, forget about the rest of the world? No. Right. There's this deeper meaning there.

Right? Right. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. No, that's a. That's a mind blowing summary list. That's like two or three summers for the reading list.

A lot of it's audible.

That's really good.

I guess we can end the podcast right, like, after that.

I mean, just one of those would be great to get ready to get through the summer. That's. Yeah.

We're going to be. We're going to be in Jamaica next week, Mark, and I'm going to have Ray Dalio in my ears the whole time, sitting on the beach, because I'm really not a big beach guy. I'm really going to be torching underneath that tent. I like the fresh air, but this is. This is not going to be.

Oh, my gosh. I mean, you know, Ray Dalio is all about radical honesty. So at some point you're gonna look at Laura and like, I'm not having fun, Mark.

I mean, let's. Let's think about the. Let's think about the problem that Mike's gonna be facing next week. He's gonna be roughing it on a beach in Jamaica, not having fun.

Wow.

Says the guy who just got back from Hawaii.

Yeah. Back from paradise.

I'm not complaining that I didn't have fun.

He did have fun. Plenty of pictures.

Oh, yeah.

I enjoyed, like, just inundating Tate and Mark with the pictures. Ah, let's see if I can make Tate jealous on this one.

I just finally stopped responding because I was like, I thought we were friends, but apparently we're not.

Yeah, I mean, you know, comparison is the thief of happiness. And let's just say I was one of the most unhappy human beings on the planet, while Scott.

I felt the same way. I was happy that Scott was there because I was like, oh, he deserves it. And then he started sending pictures and I was like, this guy's a jerk.

Like.

It'S like, oh, look at me surfing. It's like this beautiful picture of him, you know, up on the surfboard riding the wave. You know, here's where they filmed Jurassic Park.

Yeah. Exactly.

Right now I'm on the beach. Here's what they. Right now.

Here's what I'm eating. Yeah.

You know, don't mind me.

I'm just on a boat out there, you know, doing an island where it's like. Yeah, we're not really friends anymore.

Scott, how's your office right now?

Yeah. What can't Scott Todd do? What can't he do? I mean, surfing, flying airplane. I mean, the world's most interesting man.

Now he's like, there we go, a new Nicholas fan.

And we're all, yeah, Damian Luko. Look out, man.

I haven't faced tigers and lions yet.

So.

Yet. All right, Mimi Schmidt, what do you got on your summer reading list? I guess after what Mike said, you're like Warren Peace.

No, exactly. No, I'm going a little lighter, actually. So I think Boys in the Boat is a great book for the summertime. Right. It's very water oriented. Both my kids do crew. And the beginning of that Jack Ryan series, the very first episode, the very first Jack Ryan, John Krasinski is actually on the water doing crew right outside the boathouse there in dc. But anyway, back to the Boys on the Boat is great story about motivation. And every time I get frustrated, you know, you get frustrated with your business and think about how hard you're working. There's nothing like what some what the main character in Boys in the Boat went through to achieve the success that he achieved. And it's really interesting, you learn a lot more about how things were back in the Depression. So I found that very interesting historically. Right. They tie the motivation of the team also with the Depression and World War I. It is World War I. And then another book I recommend is Virtual Freedom because all of us want to be sitting out on the beach in the summertime. Virtual Freedom by Chris yes, by Chris Becker will help you find VA's so you can spend more time with your family out enjoying the summer. It's a little dry. I'll warn you. I would audible it and listen to it at one and a half times speed.

But yes, great, great tips. All right, the technician, Eric Peterson, what do you got?

All right, so I always enjoy Mike Michalowicz and his books. Latest one, Clockwork. Reading that one now or listening to it, and that one's really great. All about getting your business to run like clockwork. So it's about systems and automation and all those types of things. But it's great so far. Atomic Habits, which I know Mark, you've recommended. It's a Great book about, you know, forming habits in your, in your life and in your, your business life. And last one would be Willpower Doesn't Work. And that's, it's kind of another one similar to Atomic Habits in the sense that it's about, you know, kind of building kind of purpose into your life and like having sacred environments, doing things with intention, you know, forming good habits, that kind of stuff. But those are the three that I'm looking at over the summer.

Yeah. You know what I love about Willpower Doesn't Work is that he really, really, I think beautifully illustrates how important it is to surround yourself in the right environment. Right. So if you're trying to lose weight, but you're hanging out with people that, you know, like me, that love beer and donuts in the morning for breakfast, you're probably, no matter how great your willpower is, by nighttime it's going to be, you know, expended and you're going to fall off the wagon and, you know, eat that cupcake that you said you swore you wouldn't eat because you just don't have. It's like a muscle. So, you know, and in business, surrounding yourself in the right environment is so critical. And Jim Rohn always says you're the average of the five people you hang out with the most. And so it's so, so important. I really, that was like my big takeaway was with Willpower doesn't Work is how important is setting up that right environment to make your habits easier to execute on. For sure. All right. The big Papa Taylor.

Alrighty.

So are you just, are you just changing diapers or what's going on? What's the Daisy update? Are you even time to read?

I do read. Yeah, I set aside at least an hour a day to read. So it's kind of like my time, sit down, try to learn something or just sometimes it's just for fun and distract myself. But a book I'm reading is one you'll be familiar with. Well, I just finished it. It's called Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss. So this book, it's funny because it's been in my face for, I don't know, five years or so. And I always see it at the boot camps and Mark's always talking about how amazing this book is. And finally I decided, alright, I'm gonna give it a shot. And I was within the first chapter. I was like hooked, couldn't put it down. And I love it. It's. The author of the book is a former FBI negotiator And so he relates different cases or field studies from real life experiences to modern day negotiation tactics. So it's a fantastic read. It's a page turner. I really, really enjoyed it because it wasn't, you know, a typical business book, I would say. The other one that I really enjoyed is Delivering a Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose. And this one is by Tony Hice. I think that's how you say it.

Shea. Is it Shay? Is that how he pronounces it?

I don't know.

Yeah, the Zappos guy.

It's the Zappos guy. Yeah. It's basically, you know, he takes Zappos and it's making one point something million dollars a year, and then within five or six years, he turns it into a billion dollar company and it kind of talks about how he did it. And the main thing that he focuses on is customer service. So I really like this book and I think there's a lot of principles that we can apply to our own individual businesses from it. It's just really interesting to see how he grew this company to what it is today. And then last one is actually something that just got added to my list. I haven't read it yet. A good friend of mine, Jeff Detmer, sent it to me today. It's called Calm the F. How to control what you can and accept what you can't. So you can stop freaking out and get on with your life. I've never read it. He just got it and he's like, it's great. You got to check it out. This one's by Sarah Knight. Not sure if you've read it, Mark.

I've heard of it. Tell me how it is. Yeah, but I could definitely calm the F down.

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I think we all could. So I don't know why he sent it to me now that I'm thinking about it.

You probably were like, jeff, you're not getting enough ads out. And he's like, calm the F down.

Yeah. He's like, I'm doing fine, Tate. No, actually, he got it. And he's like, check it out. It's really good. So I'll read it and see what I think. But thanks, Jeff.

Yeah. My favorite F word book is Mark Manson, the Subtle Art of not Giving an F. Yeah.

Yeah, that is a great one.

That's a great one. But I'll be interested to see what you think of that one. All right. Those are. Those are great books. All right. Land Geek, Sherpa, the Brain, the Professor, Scott Todd.

All right, so Like, Mike, I'm gonna study this summer, right? Like, I'm gonna. I'm not just gonna consume. I'm gonna, like, study people. But the first one, and I have three. But the first one is not necessarily the study from. It's more of like a relaxation book. And I saw the documentary on the flight home, and it's based on the book Bad Blood about Elizabeth Holmes.

I read that book and it's phenomenal.

The documentary on HBO was fantastic. And I'm like, how in the heck did this crazy lady, like, perpetrate this fraud? So I want to know, like, more. It's crazy. So that. That is on the list. Bad Blood.

It's incredible. That's John Carry you, I believe the New York Times.

Yep.

Wall Street Journal, right?

What is the Washington Post? Yeah, he basically.

Wasn't he.

Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal, yeah. He basically broke it and sunk the company. I mean, multi billion dollar valuation to zero.

Yeah, 9 billion to zero. Like, wow, that was fast.

Harsh.

So that's on the list and look forward to reading that one. My next two are my study books. And honestly, one of them. You don't even need to get the book. You can just go. I'll give you a website you can go to if you want to follow along. I mean, you go to Wikipedia for this one, but this one, I know Mike Zaino is going to like cross one of them off his list and revert back to this one. Unless he's already read it. But I did that last summer, Scott, and it is called the 36 strategies. And so you can Google it. 36 strategies. It's basically Chinese proverbs. It's similar to the Art of War, but it's not because the Art of War is about military. This is really about different strategies. And what's cool about it is if you go to like, you can go to Wikipedia, there's a whole Wikipedia write up on it. But another guy has created a free website called the 36strategies.com. And in there he basically talks about, you know, like, what are the 36 strategies? They're grouped into six, basically buckets, superiority, confrontation, attack, confusion, gaining ground and despair. And what you can do to your, you know, to your competitor, if you will, and how you can kind of like work to chisel them away.

This is why I'm always nice, as I know, by the way, because I know he knows all this stuff.

He knows his stuff, right? Like, you know, like the one that really caught my attention was. Let's see, it was this one that Says kill with a borrowed knife. Like, wow, that's pretty powerful. So, you know, we'll learn about that piece. So that's kind of like the summer I want to digest these things. And then the other one that I want to digest is not really anything to do with business. And I think that's where some of the best business ideas come from. But it's actually a writing book, and it's called the 45 Master Characters. And the thing about the 45 Master Characters is that basically we all, as humans, we all fall within these 45 kind of archetype types. We all do, right? Like, you know, we all have, like, oh, there's the king or there's the dictator or whatever. We all fall within these archetypes. So I think that if you can kind of understand where someone falls in, you know, and you can pinpoint them, like, oh, this guy is playing the role of the king, or this guy's playing the role of this in their lives. Well, now, you know what motivates them, because there are really just 45 different.

Types of people is a terrorist hunter in there.

I'm sure she is.

Like, what motivates Mimi?

I don't know. So, you know, I'll have to report back at the end of the summer what I've discovered. But, you know, where Mimi or where all you guys fit. But essentially, I think that that's. That's kind of what I'm doing this summer is, you know, I'm trying to figure out, you know, which of you are the jokers, which of you are the jesters, the kings, the psychics, you know, how. How everybody falls into each of these individual groups.

All right, well, I'm definitely have to read that because I don't, you know, I don't want to be pigeonholed when I. When I see you.

Yeah, you don't. You don't want me sizing you up and knowing, like, where you fall, but nobody else. Like, you don't know where I fall.

Right, right. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So, all right. All great summer reading books. Okay, so I've got three, and I'm gonna give you the one that. I'm gonna give you two that I think will really, really move the needle in your life. Right. The first one is why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. And I have to tell you after reading that, like, first of all, this is not a woo woo book at all. This is a lot of science, and this is like hundreds of thousands of hours of sleep studies, but we spend a third of our lives Sleeping. And what I discovered is that I might be doing it a little bit wrong. And the consequences of not sleeping well is essentially shortening your life. And it's a really, really great book. But if you don't have time or you're not interested in why we sleep, my cliff notes on this are, go to bed in a cool environment. Turn off all electronics. About 30 minutes before you go to bed. Make sure the lights are out so there's not a lot of light going on. If you can't avoid it, put on like a blue blocker sunglass so that you're not stimulated at night. You want to sleep in a cooler environment than you probably think you should. 65 to 68, which in Phoenix means that my electric bills are through the roof, but the stakes are pretty high to not sleep at a cooler temperature. And then the third one is go to sleep and wake up seven days a week consistently around the same time, and get seven to nine hours consistently. The stakes mentally, physically, emotionally could not be higher. And it's really a fascinating read and I love it. The second one is the Second Mountain by David Brooks. The first mountain is typically, you know, when you're younger and you're going through your first mountain climb, right? Which is essentially sort of ego based, right? I want to get good grades. If I get good grades, I'm going to go to a good college, I'm going to go to a good college, I'm going to get a good job, I'm going to get a good job, I'm going to have prestige. People are going to think a lot of me, whatever this, this and this. You're going to kind of climb the hierarchy of, you know, your social life, if you will, right to the top. You're going to, you know, be on that first mountain of getting all those ego based needs. I got a nice house, I got a nice car, I've got nice clothes, all those things. And all of a sudden you wake up one day and you realize there's a lot more to life. Like you got all those things and this first mountain really didn't sort of fulfill you in any way deeply. Then you go onto the second mountain. And the second mountain is about purpose. And essentially it's not about you, about serving others. And in serving others, you start to start to really deepen your life in lots of different ways in your relationships. And it's a really interesting read. He goes through a lot of different things on that second mountain that you know, you can aspire to. Essentially, it's A really, really great read. And then so those two are like a little not. Not zano. Heady, but a little heady. Right? But the third one is the best audiobook I've ever listened to. If you've never been on Audible, you get one free book. I always recommend this to people as their one free audiobook because talk about getting bang for your buck. I want to say it's like 72 hours. It is the longest book, but it's like listening to theater. It is so well done. I would not read this book. I would only listen to it because the audiobook is that well done. It is Shantaram. It is Shantaram. If you took Slumdog Millionaire and combined it with Goodfellas, you would have Shantaram. It is a phenomenal fiction and combined with a little bit of nonfiction read. So those are my three for the summer reading list. All right. Well, I thought everyone's summer reading list was really fantastic, but we are now at that point in the podcast where we get to put Mimi on the spot and ask her for her tip of the week. Mimi, what do you got?

So I see more and more people are having problems staying out of trouble on Facebook Marketplace. So I have a suggestion to get back in. Alright, so you have to do it from your phone. Okay. Turn off the data on your phone. Okay. But you can still get to the Internet when your data is turned off. So go open Facebook on the app and click Marketplace. It's going to give you a message that tells you that something went wrong. And there'll be a button that says, try again. Okay. Don't press it. Click back and turn your data on. Go back to Facebook and click the try again button. Okay. From that point, you should be able to get back into Marketplace. The first thing I would do is go find any ads that are in your support inbox that they've flagged. Okay? Get those. Just get rid of them on your laptop. I'd also clean out your cache, everything but your passwords before you try to go back in that way. But you should be able to get in. I'd love some feedback from folks that have tried this so far. I've gotten some mixed reviews, but good luck.

Wow, that's a great tip. That's a great tip. Well, I want to thank all the listeners. Hopefully you're getting a lot of value out of these Roundtable podcasts. Mike, what do you got?

Mark, what about napping?

Napping? If you're going to nap right, then you need to nap. You were Biphasic, which means that basically around for Most people, around 2, 3 o', clock, you feel tired. That's very natural. And so if you take a nap, don't take anything longer than an hour nap, do not nap after four in the sense that it's actually harmful. In the sense that actually sleeping longer than nine hours is actually harmful as well. There are some studies that say that those people that do nap, there is benefit to it. You will not catch up on sleep. Once you have a sleep deficit, you have a sleep deficit. There's no way to catch up on it. That's actually a myth. But napping actually can help. If you do it, but don't do it after four. And then certainly if you're having trouble going to sleep, you don't want a nap. You also don't want to have that afternoon coffee either, if you're having trouble going to sleep. And I hate to say it, Mike, for nightcap, you don't want to have alcohol as well.

I only drink whiskey.

Not great for your sleep. Certainly don't do it as a nightcap, which kind of destroys the whole idea of nightcap, but it's really bad for your sleep. All right, but I want to just ask the listeners, please do us a little favor. If you're getting value, send the podcast to a friend through the interwebs, share it with your friends, share it on social media, and please do us three little favors. You got to subscribe, rate, review the podcast, Send us a screenshot of that review to supportlandelandgeek.com we're going to send you for free our $97 passive income launch kit. Alright, well, I want to thank everyone. Are we ready to do this? 1, 2, 3, let freedom ring. Not bad.

I think I got a great question mark we should use at the. Sometimes we see if listeners listen to our roundtable here and we give them prizes. I think it should be what should you never share with Scott Todd at a dinner table? And the answer would be a knife. Can I borrow your knife? Yeah, that is about to go down.

That is.

Now the hard part will be us remembering that we asked that question.

Well, not if we write it down.

We gotta write it down.

Pen and paper, man. Look, look, I got. I mean, not to brag, but I do have a Hawaiian pen I could write with. Like, I'll write that down.

But you notice he wore a white shirt today just to show off his tan.

No, no.

Everybody, all the viewers need to get online and watch this one because Scott has got the most Amazing tan I've ever seen on a white. I mean, this is.

Listen, I. I don't know what to tell you. Like, you know, but then again, it.

Could be your fancy lights in your room.

No, it's not. It's not.

It could be.

It's real. It's real tape.

I mean, I know we've talked about you turning that room into like a production office. Maybe you have a there now.

Yeah. You don't. You don't know, man. Like, I got the high end, high end surface technology that's really doing a lot of good stuff around here.

It's just spray tan booth.

Spray tan booth.

Such a disappointment for my son, man. I gotta go to the mall. I gotta get this repaired.

What do you do? What do you do to it?

Used it.

He must have misused it.

The jury's still on. What's that?

Does it have problems with, like, the Internet and stuff?

Yeah, it's like the screens, like, not coming on.

I will tell you that in Apple's defense, because I believe in being fair. Apple is coming out with the Pad os. Have you seen that?

I haven't had time because I've got a little eye fatigue.

So they are coming out with their own iPad operating system because the iPad has always been based on the same operating system as our phones. So they're dedicating its own operating system, which does give me some hope that they're listening to this podcast and listening to my complaints and that they're gonna, like, take action on it. But, like, they.

I don't know.

It's gonna be hard for me to switch right now.

I feel like once you got the surface, like, that was it. I think Cook was like, guys, we gotta really radically change this business model. Yeah.

You know, like, I feel like I'm making technology great again.

You are. A Mika hat, by the way. Larry Overstreet just threw up.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Come up with a hat that says, like, making technology great again. And, you know, like, I don't know, I got. I always tell my kids, like, if I ever ran for, like, you ever see people that are running for, like, county commission or whatever, they gotta be the worst marketers ever, these people running for, like, you know, politics. Because.

Are you picking Deborah? What's that? Deborah's running?

I don't know. Maybe Jeff's got the marketing down. I didn't know he was running for.

Anything, but does have the marketing down. Are you kidding?

Listen. So Jeff, if you're listening to me, listen, pick one topic, man. Like, for me I always tell my kids, like, the roads around here are terrible. I would just put up signs and say, like, hey, hate to hate the commute. Todd for. Todd for traffic or whatever, right? You know, like, just pound them in, like one topic, man. So, yeah, Todd for traffic, right? You know, traffic sucks. Hashtag traffic sucks. Roads, Fix the roads. I would be out there doing Facebook lives every day. Like, look at the road here. This is ridiculous. Not on my watch. And then once I got elected, I'd be like, nowhere to be found. I don't know, just collect money.

Just Hawaii. Working on Hawaii.

Dialing in here to serve Florida, man, by the way.

So. So next week, are we gonna talk about our summer? You know, like Netflix, Hulu show list? How are we gonna do that when.

We got to read all these books?

Well, you got. You gotta make a little time. I mean, for talk about our.

You've got to dedicate a solid two hour block every single day to streaming content. It's important.

Gotcha, gotcha.

This is important. It's like reading a book. But you got to dedicate time to Netflix, otherwise you're gonna miss out. And then once you miss out on these new shows, you're never gonna get caught up again.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll never be around again.

Come on. Season four. Season four of Game of Thrones.

Oh, my gosh.

Of what show? Game of Thrones. Is it worth the commitment, Mike?

Yeah, I figured out that that show can actually cause depression after the big. I don't want to say anything, but after this big wedding thing. Depression, Depression.

How did you get past the third one? Man, I stopped on the third one. I'm like, this is the worst show ever.

Man. It messes with your emotions, I'm telling you.

I don't know.

Commitment issues. That one's too long.

Yeah, see, I like Tate's Model. Like one season, five episodes, we're done in and out.

Yeah, I like the BBC shows. Like, Luther has like three episodes, then we're into season two. Yeah. All right, all right, well, well, thanks everybody. And see everybody next week.
