Excited for another PTD to hang out with all my friends and Steve, and also looking forward to hearing CJ complain about housing affordability and Hopefully we can figure out if he can ever afford some Wi-Fi that they was at Richmond and he all let us know this week how expensive it is to live in. Looking forward to this week's episode he did CJ.

Speaker 1: 2:05

Cj dropped in the infographic for us. He let us know. Last, certainly not least, we have invited back mr Stratton Brown. Strat daddy, if you will introduce yourself.

Speaker 5: 2:19

Thank you guys so much for having me back on. I didn't promise shit to see. I Made no such things, not once, not ever. Black History Month is a scam. Black history should be every month. What the hell are we doing? Let's go. I'm here to win, and do not forget. If you need a virtual assistant in your business, virtual help dot. Io, I'm ready for today.

Speaker 1: 2:46

Might have been the fastest cancellation ever in PTD history. There you go in intros. We haven't even had any questions yet. All right, let's get into question number one Real estate. What was your dream house growing up? Start us off, steve.

Speaker 2: 3:03

So I lived in La Jolla for a bit in San Diego wants to UC San Diego for grad school and I would always hang out at La Jolla Beach to study. That was always the intent. It never got done. I guys always went to the beach with the best of intentions and all I would do is either nap or Check out all the amazing houses on the Hoyah Beach, and there was this one. That's just a class From top to bottom, two levels. That's the dream house. At some point we're gonna go. I don't know where I live in California, but if we ever lived in California, it'll probably be that house, so we will see.

Speaker 2: 3:37

Also, I remember I was searching and I was moving to San Diego as a bro college student, like you know what. What could I get? And there was this also magnificent, like 6,000 square foot house on the ocean for $4 million. Feel like I might have missed out on that one. I should have closed in that one with no income. Yeah, that definitely was a.

Speaker 1: 3:58

Misopportunity there, steve. All right, cj, what about you? What it? What it is your dream house?

Speaker 5: 4:05

You muted I bet I was reading the manual.

Speaker 3: 4:15

To educate Stratton on Black History Month. But nonetheless, yeah, dream house, definitely Hollywood Hills, something overlooking LA With, with nothing but vibes, as Steve would say. And yeah, definitely LA man with a beautiful house, with a beautiful view, 100%.

Speaker 1: 4:41

All right, there we go. Simple, clean answer right there. All right, rj. What are we looking for for dream house from RJ Bates? You know it says when you're looking for a dream house.

Speaker 4: 4:51

You know it says when you're growing up, and it's really weird because I never quite understood the way or the reason why I felt this way growing up. But even when I was like 16, 17 years old, I always knew I wanted to live Wherever voted opposite of whatever a guy named Chris Jefferson voted. So California, virginia, new York, those are out. So I want somewhere with Mountains, a lake and a hockey rink. That's what I want. I want a hockey rink because you know we got talking about hockey and I'm part of the disruption. I want a hockey rink inside of my house on a mountain viewing a lake and Wherever doesn't vote like Chris Jefferson.

Speaker 1: 5:38

There we go, question one. We're already into it today. We haven't even gotten through the full panel yet. All right, stratton, what about you dream house growing up?

Speaker 5: 5:47

I Didn't really have a dream house growing up, but I'd say now I want 10 acres in the heart of Salt Lake City. I want to be able to have a football field on my yard, a 10,000 square foot warehouse when I can put in a basketball court, have all my big family parties and obviously, a cigar lounge, and then have one of those Andy, for cellar garages like that. That's what I'm looking forward to, and then I could go rent that Malibu house on the beach whenever I want to go there and I have to pay, pay insane prices, because that one's really, really.

Speaker 2: 6:19

So I guess in in a matter of one week or two weeks, strand is now willing to. I knew you were fucking coming For the trap for the trap. I Was a close second. For me it would be the White House. You know, I think I could do a lot of good. You know presidential cash offers calm. I Think we could. We can fix this country. We can. We can write the ship, as Tratton would say. So I would say close second would be the White House.

Speaker 4: 6:47

Are you, are you not running with Biden this year?

Speaker 3: 6:53

He's got a little bit of formal.

Speaker 2: 6:54

VP pick. Yet I don't think he's made a formal VP. Look, it doesn't matter who wins, I'm happy to be VP. I'll run it from behind the scenes Biden train baby by entranced Chinese Chinese.

Speaker 7: 7:04

I'm surprised he's thinking. I Want to live in California.

Speaker 4: 7:11

What's that? Two people said they wanted to live in California who were the two who were the two. You and Steve.

Speaker 1: 7:28

See just before me laying that for a hot.

Speaker 2: 7:32

You can stay in the guest house. Rj, you can stay in the guest house.

Speaker 3: 7:42

We'll build us a little spot out back in ADU with wood paneling in there. What's a fake belts? Oh man, all right. All right, that's gonna conclude question number one great answers.

Speaker 1: 8:04

Nice to see that CJ through the manual side and decided to come in here. Throw, throw down on, throw down on RJ. We're gonna get into question number two now in the in the last year there were two altercations At an award show that were handled differently by both committees. At the Oscars, will Smith Was seen smiling and joking after slapping Chris rock. Meanwhile, killer Mike was seen in handcuffs from an undisclosed Altercation. How do you ensure your employees get treated fairly when it comes to serious escalations? Start us off, cj. Look, I mean.

Speaker 3: 8:44

Look, I mean First and foremost right, like, let's just like for a moment, assume that, like RJ took this stage and you know it'd be like one of those, like like those hockey fights that you see We'll let him keep padding on and keep it safe, and that would never happen, right, what happened with killer Mike was disgusting man. This guy swept the Grammys for the hip hop category and got hit for a misdemeanor. But I mean, look, ultimately right, like if you've got a situation where then, like, different people have to be handled in different ways, I don't think that makes sense. I think that you've got to be reasonable on how you manage everybody in your team, regardless of performance, regardless of what they're able to accomplish. So it's unfortunate that Chris Rock or Chris Rock got slapped and Will Smith was able to sit in the audience and torture him for RJ staring at me on the screen right now.

Speaker 1: 9:46

Oh man, All right, RJ rebuttal on this one. What are you doing to make sure that everybody's treated fairly on it?

Speaker 4: 9:54

Yeah, I think at the Oscars the problem was is they probably didn't have a protocol for someone you know coming on stage and slapping a presenter, so that was probably the fallout there. I think, when it comes to our businesses, we have to have actual plans in place for, like, hey, what are non-negotiables? Like there was a physical altercation inside of my office, that's obviously a non-negotiable. You know, whoever starts that or escalated, it is going to be terminated and removed from the company. So I think there's steps that have to be set in place.

Speaker 7: 10:32

These are things that realistically entrepreneurs who struggle even getting to this point of thinking about that in the future. Right, we talked about last week what are waste of time, and Steve was talking about setting up LLCs and buying domain name all of this but do we actually sit down and write?

Speaker 4: 10:50

like SOPs, for, hey, what is a non-negotiable, what is a fence that could be worthy of a termination, and how would we handle certain situations? And over the 14 years of being an entrepreneur, cassie and I have had some moments where it's like damn, never even thought that that could possibly happen and then, because of that, we didn't know how to appropriately react in the moment. So you do need to sit down and take the time to think about all the different things that can happen.

Speaker 1: 11:18

Absolutely. I'm glad to hear there's no Friday night fights anymore over at titanium, that you've outlawed that. Thank you for that. All right, stratton, what about you?

Speaker 5: 11:29

Man coming from locker rooms my entire life. There's a phrase that I like that's be whoever you can afford to be, and you hear it from NFL players. You hear it and everything else. I think the killer Mike situation was disproportionately unfair. But everybody gets treated fairly. Not everybody gets treated the same.

Speaker 5: 11:51

Obviously, the standard is the standard, but for a lot of people let's say any of you guys who are talking to like your right hand, I'm guessing you can have more direct conversations with that person that goes significantly easier than someone who just came into the company, right, because they know how you operate and they're used to it and now we're having that conversation rather than, hey, this person, everybody gets treated the same way because everything is different. Everything is so dynamic all the time. But as long as the standard is met, everybody is treated fairly. But everybody will not be treated the same. And that's how I've taken that. Because if you're the star player on the football team, even though everybody says Tom Brady got his astute, tom did whatever Tom really wanted to do and everybody still knew he was Tom, you know I get a still drastic difference. And if you touched Tom in practice you would get crucified and you would be cut and you probably never get picked up by another football team, you know. And so there's all those different dynamics that you do need to handle.

Speaker 1: 12:53

There you go. All right, starting coming with some heat on question too. All right, steve. What about you? What are your thoughts?

Speaker 2: 13:00

Unfortunately, I agree with Stratton. You know I think it's you can't. You got to treat him fairly, but doesn't mean you treat him exactly the same, right? Aaron came in and like punched RJ, I'd be like. I understood your point of view. I get why you did that, right Like. It has to be contextualized. It has to be what are you bringing to the table? How long you've been with us? It's just out of character for you, right Like? If you've always been a contributing team member and you lose it one time, it's gonna be treated differently than like hey, you've been acting this way for the last four months and we've given you multiple warnings what is going on. So I think the treatment is gonna be different, but we're gonna be as fair as possible. And then, going back to you know, with Killer Mike, does anyone know exactly what he got arrested for? Does anyone know Cause?

Speaker 5: 13:48

I don't know. I, Chris, you sound like you like read about it. I just heard that he got an altercation with like a security guard.

Speaker 3: 13:57

Yeah, there was. All I heard was that it was a red, rather, was there was some sort of altercation like backstage or something like that, and there was some sort of misdemeanor that he was charged for.

Speaker 2: 14:08

but so I think we gotta get Nasser on here, we gotta get real estate duo, cause he apparently was for Killer Mike. He is for as a Killer Mike, so let's, let's get he probably knows what happened for sure.

Speaker 2: 14:18

Yeah, so let's get Nasser on the show. But before I get into that, right, I think you talk about different treatment, right? I mean, killer Mike over the weekend was on Bill Marshall and he kind of alluded that he would vote for Trump, and I think this is what happens. Right, your treatment is dependent on your political views. Unfortunately, I think there's an element of that Conspiracy theory. I know Chris is upset with me, but let's go put that out there.

Speaker 5: 14:46

Nah, in California if someone can go and break into a store and still a thousand dollars worth of shit and have nothing 950, 950.

Speaker 1: 14:53

Yeah, you gotta say under a G we have standards.

Speaker 5: 14:57

I can have people break into my homes and light them on fire and nothing can happen and all these things can happen. But then let Killer Mike have an altercation with another grown ass man and he gets a misdemeanor. But then there's like an entire homeless encampment outside of the Oscars. That's when it's really out of hand, yeah but I think the other thing too that takes it into another level.

Speaker 2: 15:17

What RJ is talking about, right Like with Chris Rock. I think there was two different things where Will Smith, there was two different things. First, they probably don't have in their SOPs. I don't know anyone who has an SOP. I'm like, hey, what happens when someone comes up and slaps the presenter, right Like, can you imagine, remember the titanium crucible? And someone just comes up and slaps RJ, like what do we do?

Speaker 4: 15:35

Yeah, I mean dude, it would be awkward because it's not like I have security guards here. What am I gonna do?

Speaker 2: 15:43

There's no SOP for that. But the other thing too is I think a lot of people were wondering was this stage right With Chris Rock and Will Smith?

Speaker 4: 15:51

Yeah, there was an element of that too, shratten, you brought this up so I just I have to pick on you a little bit. You brought up the Tom Brady topic utilizing some of the examples inside of the Patriots organization Lawyer Malloy, richard Seymour, they all got cut when they got quote unquote too old for Bill Belichick and the Patriot way. Tom Brady got the same treatment there at the end. So I mean, were they really treated Any? Was Brady really treated differently?

Speaker 5: 16:20

Yes, Because Tom was there the longest and Tom is the one who was setting the standard. And then, at the same time, it was really a bad decision on the Patriots part, because there was nothing wrong with Tom. It was more of a political thing than it was an actual output thing. If it was an actual output thing to where he couldn't meet the standard anymore he wasn't balling anymore that would be one thing. But it wasn't. It was more of a political thing. He thought, shitty ass, Jimmy G could come in and do something. He couldn't. He can't throw a damn football, All right. And so now here we are Tom got another Super Bowl, Bill Belichick can't get another job.

Speaker 4: 16:57

So I'm glad you said I will hire him.

Speaker 2: 16:59

I will hire him. He can't get another job.

Speaker 4: 17:01

You know, a couple weeks ago you disagree with me sounds like you really sat down and thought about your. You know your misunderstanding of the question and now you agree with me. I appreciate that.

Speaker 1: 17:16

Good old RJ it's. It's always good to hear from RJ. He's got great insight, great point of view. Always tries to spin things into the the beatsy light there. All right, we're gonna get into question number three, our viral video of the week. Check it out, michael.

Speaker 8: 17:32

Buble from the All-Star Game, basically saying yeah, I'm on mushrooms right now tripping balls.

Speaker 7: 17:36

My buddy told me this is just a micro dose of mushrooms and he was lying. So I'll be honest.

Speaker 4: 17:44

I thought I was in blades of glory for most of the time that I was out there, until it sort of settled down and then I realized holy.

Speaker 8: 17:55

Hey buble. Thank you, buddy. I wasn't the biggest buble fan I know around Christmas he shows up with the silky voice. It's obviously awesome and everybody enjoys them. I watch that press conference buble. You got a fan of me, pal. If you have one fan, hits me.

Speaker 1: 18:08

Wow, all right. What are your thoughts on this video? Start us off, rj.

Speaker 4: 18:15

Yeah, well, I mean the. The video itself is hilarious. The fact that I guess he thought a micro dose of shrooms was gonna be okay for him to be, you know, out there on that he was actually on the ice with the NHL players themselves, which is pretty hilarious. So I is our question that we're supposed to go over. What is our funniest?

Speaker 7: 18:38

Yes, yours.

Speaker 4: 18:39

Okay, so mine might take a second here, so give me some extra seconds. Okay, so I'm on a date. I'm 18 years old, I'm trying to resurrect a Relationship. Okay, I ordered a steak. The steak went down, I choked on it and literally had to get pulled out by the waiter Saying that my date had already purchased dinner. I was in the bathroom trying to throw up the state while I was choking and this went on for Three to four hours. I had to be taken to the hospital and the date ended with me throwing up steak all over the nurses desk and computers. That was one of my. Now I'll go back and it's funny, but at the time it was pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 1: 19:27

We call that a typical Texas Tuesday around here. So there you go, all right, what about you? Most embarrassing moment for for you.

Speaker 5: 19:39

Man. Most embarrassing moment you guys have had skid marks on the underwear.

Speaker 2: 19:48

That's behavior, there we go a.

Speaker 7: 19:52

Little shark.

Speaker 5: 19:56

Little shark. Right, I didn't realize was a shark, and you know, kalani does my laundry and so that was mighty embarrassing To her. I mean, I don't need to explain much more, but like I didn't think I sharded, but I sharded, and Then she saw it and oh my god, it was terrible. And I still live with her too that I got it. I got to think about that all the time when I walk.

Speaker 1: 20:20

Oh, man, that's outstanding. Good, good work, stratton. Good work. All right, steve. What about you? Funny slash. Embarrassing moment for Steve.

Speaker 2: 20:33

All right, so we live. 19 was a huge, you know, coming out party. I got to speak at max. Max was event. Thousand people there, pace Morby, jamil Damji. They fly out to support, along with the bash folks. You know. Jesse Borrell, evo, annie Bryantapolis flies out as well. And while we're out there, a good friend of ours drove up from Houston. We're gonna say Don Donna, all right, just to protect everyone's reputation, right?

Speaker 2: 21:01

he flies out he drives out to hang out with us, and you know we were concerned Whether he was able to stay at the hotel because max max was decided to Host an event and our radiously expensive hotel. That was $450 a night, right? So Someone provided some entertainment on top of the alcohol, right? So everyone but pace is drunk and a tad high, right, and we're trying to figure out how we're gonna get Don home right.

Speaker 2: 21:46

And Jamil was like, hey, let me walk you, or let me let me walk you to your hotel across the street. He's like, no, I'm good, I'm good. He's like well, I can order an Uber. He's like no, I'm good, I'm good, I'm fine. Right, because Jamil knows, he knows that this guy did not get a hotel room at this hotel. He's gonna end up crashing in Jamil's room and Wouldn't you know it, I'm too tired, can I just stay here? And he crashes Jamil's one bed hotel room, right.

Speaker 2: 22:20

So Again, we're all a little drunk, a little high, and that is one of the best memories I ever had of just me and Evo Just laughing our minds off at Jamil's unfortunate circumstance that he has to share a Hotel room with one bed with mr Don. We ended up figure out a situation because I actually had a two-bed room, so Way to sneak back into Jamil's room so he can get his iPhone charger and Actually have, you know, some footage of all this. And we're just laughing because there's a guy that's just totally pieced out, you just hanging out, sleeping comfortably in Jamil's bed, all to himself, and and you might have to sleep in the other bed in my room. It is one of the funniest memories, a memory I will never forget. Just me and Evo just laughing at Jamil. Funniest moment in my life.

Speaker 1: 23:13

This was. This was obviously prior to Steve joining team iPhone, or else he would have just graciously given up his charger to Jamil.

Speaker 2: 23:22

All right, what about before?

Speaker 1: 23:23

team iPhone yes well, what about you? Cj? Funniest, most embarrassing moment. What do you got?

Speaker 3: 23:29

I don't know that I was embarrassed the time I sharded you know it's just kind of rolled with it Old English swap in the bathroom, you know and gave a little swipe and kept it going, you know Free vaulted a little bit, you know. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't say that, uh, most embarrassing moment that I can think of. I don't easily get embarrassed, I don't know that I really even do. I think one time I was doing this event I think Steve was there, I think RJ was there, and you know like I had this moment in the bag, right, it's like a coming out moment. It's closed to the Olympics. Just completely smash this call with this seller and. And Then I got hosed by Carlos. Right, I saw the Carlos.

Speaker 3: 24:29

Respectfully yeah, I thought I shut out the Carlos Carlos did the old Trumper on me, for the old Trumper on me called down to Georgia and Got the vote changed. That was a little embarrassing, I guess I would say at the moment, but it actually worked out very much in my favor. So I don't know if that was even really embarrassing, but that's what I'd say for sure.

Speaker 2: 24:57

I mean, it was a good time. It's like you were one of the six best closers, like that competition was pretty dope.

Speaker 4: 25:02

I mean realistically, cj, you and I could both agree being hosed by Carlos Reyes is one of the best things that can happen.

Speaker 3: 25:12

I got it in my favor for sure real quick.

Speaker 4: 25:15

I want to recap what Steve said in his very At the beginning he said we live was his coming out party, and then he ended it by saying he snuck Jamil out of his hotel room to come clean the night in his Bedroom. So yeah, steve's coming out party, so Jamil to come spend the night with him.

Speaker 5: 25:40

I didn't know he was a Bears, bro. That's why you're in the Bears.

Speaker 2: 25:46

So it was actually really fortuitous with that. Well, since I had never done a gummy before, I kinda. I kind of over slept and because Jamil was in the room, they were able to wake me up in time to go out and do my presentation.

Speaker 3: 26:09

Wow, you almost missed your presentation at WeLife perhaps allegedly and this is on, this is from a single gummy, and then I'm just making sure I got like this is like like a gummy bear, I feel like you mean like couple gummies merged together into one unit. No, brother was like three milligrams he was 420. Steve, he was a 420 yeah, man, that was definitely a good round.

Speaker 1: 26:51

Speaker 4: 29:20

I mean, I've got the chiefs winning, but this whole thing about my home's becoming the greatest quarterback of all time, like bro, he would literally have to continue doing what he's doing for like another 13 years. Yeah, like it's just not going to happen. You're already starting to see the talent around him is starting to age out. They're not gonna continue to be able to re brand around him. So don't listen to CJ the two-star. Get a little. I don't think it's gonna be by two touchdowns. I think it will be a close game. Both teams deserve to be there. I think it'll be interesting to see what the 49ers do. Considering the fact that they've leaned on McCaffrey so much and the chiefs defense is so strong, are they gonna be able to move the ball in the air with Purdy?

Speaker 1: 30:16

there we go. Some insightful analysis from mr Bates there down in DFW. All right, stratton, what are your thoughts? Who's winning on Sunday?

Speaker 5: 30:28

I don't think it's gonna be the chiefs, but I do think Patrick, my home's, is gonna go down to the greatest quarterback of all time. No, quite, bro. With technology the way it is now, he's gonna have a long career and just cuz he doesn't have talent now, bro, the chiefs draft amazing. They're gonna find some more talent, develops more talent and keep it wrong. But I think the Niners are gonna win and I I love the Niners defense and how stacked they are honestly like. I love everything about it. I love Chase Young, I love the Bosa dude. Fred Warner if you're like football fans me, watch his tape is an absolute animal and is like teach tape of how to play linebacker. I love everything I mean. Deebo is a dog, mccaffrey a dog. Brock Purdy is a solid quarterback, would I say he's amazing. No, but I I'm gonna take the Niners by like three. I it's gonna go down to the wire now there's gonna win by three there we go.

Speaker 1: 31:24

An opposing 49ers fan over here in Stratton Brown. All right, steve, what about you? Who's winning on Sunday?

Speaker 2: 31:33

man, this is pretty tough cuz. Like I mostly respect Stratton, you know, right, especially when it comes to football. But like I can't imagine a person ever being more wrong on this show, so I think for sure it's gonna be the chiefs. And the reason why I do think the chiefs are gonna be a better team. But you know, football is any given Sunday right, like anybody can win, except I will say this one because there is just way too much damn money here. Right, we're talking about Taylor Swift adding 331 million dollars in value to a football team.

Speaker 2: 32:09

Right, the, the, the, the, the Swifty Nation would lose their damn minds and burn everything down, like Arrowhead Stadium will be burned to the ground. Right, if the cheese lose. So I think the whistles are gonna be a little lighter. Right, the cheese might get away with a little more holding. Right, might get away with a little more contact. After five yards, I think there's gonna be some questionable calls. So I think the cheese are a better team any given Sunday normally, but in this instance I think the, the fish eating might be a little more favorable to one team than another.

Speaker 4: 32:43

I have to say you're strattin. You know the 49ers defense probably has more talent, but I think the chiefs defense is more cohesive as a unit and has outperformed the 49ers talent all year. I mean, just take the championship games, for example. I mean the the Lions were able to move the ball pretty consistently against that 49ers D. They shouldn't have been able to do that and the teams nobody's been able to do that to the chiefs, specifically in the second half all year. I think that's gonna be the difference in this is, you know, the chiefs are able to basically what they did last year against the Eagles. You know, just shut down 49ers in the second half.

Speaker 5: 33:29

I think that the best players make plays in the biggest games and their defense is absolutely stacked and they're all gonna step up to make plays when they need to. That I don't think it's. I don't think you're underestimating them, but time and time again they're pro bowlers for a reason because they make the big plays when they need to they got a.

Speaker 3: 33:50

They got a crazy stag defense. 100% agree with that. Fred Warner is a dog, debo's a dog, the calf rees a dog, a yooksa dog. But you know who's not? Oh, brock Purdy. There we go. Brock Purdy's not a duck, all right, he's a. He's a. Get you there guy. It's the Super Bowl, it's all. The pressure is two weeks of buildup, two weeks of hype. Brock Purdy look, it's been media week. The guy doesn't look ready. All right, everybody else might be ready, but the QB's got to get you there. If we're really sitting, you're having a conversation about Patty Mahomes. Patty Mahomi, as Steve would say, right, getting getting burnt up. Getting burnt up Sunday night by Brock Purdy. Come on, man, too many weapons with the Chiefs. They got the run game right now. Like RJ said, their defense is strong. They got weapons all over, all offense. Don't see it happen.

Speaker 3: 34:53

I don't know what's the sticky stuff? Strattin, as long as, as long as he can get, get it, get his hands good then I think Kelsey steps up, though if you over the playoffs, kelsey is always gone.

Speaker 5: 35:08

He's always performed.

Speaker 4: 35:09

I don't like to hate on on Brock Purdy, though. I mean, what has he done to deserve the hate here? I mean that NFC championship game. He made a ton of plays to get them to come back. Dude, you're talking about a 17-point deficit at a halftime. Most teams do not come back. They come back to take a double-digit lead on in that game and I know there's turnovers and bad decisions by the Lions and all that but block brought. Purdy had a big part of that as well he's not a playmaker.

Speaker 3: 35:41

May as I game change. You got to be a game changer when Super Bowl.

Speaker 5: 35:44

I don't know, bro, I don't know that he still makes plays. No one is Patrick Mahomes, but Brock Purdy still out there making plays, bro.

Speaker 3: 35:52

I'm not saying, I'm saying a playmaker, game changer, man, the only thing strands getting right is saying I don't know oh man, alright, so that was a great round.

Speaker 1: 36:10

Come to find out. Apparently CJ has conversations with Steve that none of us are, you know, invited to, so we're gonna get it. We're gonna get into question number five. It is a dead heat coming into this one, so it's anybody's game today as a business, how are you adapting to new technology, such as apples, new eyewear, and do you want a pair? Go ahead and start us off. Go ahead and start us off, steve.

Speaker 2: 36:40

Yeah. So there's this newer thing coming out. I believe it's offer bolt, I think. I think it's what's going out there. It's a way to automate offers. You know joint venture deals and this and that. So I have an inside track with a developer. So I would say, absolutely, you know, we're looking for every bit of an advantage. The one thing we don't do is we don't try to innovate, in that we don't create new tools. You know. You see all these guys like, hey, I'm all on AI, I'm going to go deep dive in this. For, you know, into a cave for like four to six months, we don't innovate right. What we do is we look for the guys that will go into the cave and innovate and leverage their tools to plus our business. So, absolutely, we love using new technology.

Speaker 1: 37:26

There we go. Other people's new technology. It's like it's like OPM, it's like other people's money, just with technology. We call it OPT. All right, next up CJ, what about?

Speaker 3: 37:37

you? Yeah, 100%. Shout out to Steve for an offerable. Shout out. Yeah, man, we've been like really hard on technology for the last couple of years and put together a really cool piece of software really built around AI, automation and follow up pipelines and just doing really crazy stuff with it. We've been using it for a little over eight months now and it's the absolute game changer nationwide.

Speaker 3: 38:01

Potter, you've checked it out. So, yeah, I mean, if you're not a head of technology or at the forefront of technology, you need to make sure that you're close to somebody. That is oftentimes what you see is a lot of these things and conversations. Tool strategies are kept in like quiet rooms and these high ticket masterminds and stuff like that, which is why it pays to get coaching, was why it pays to build relationships with people. I remember like paper lead is like the biggest word in the industry. Last 12 months, like five years ago, people were talking about paper lead. People were doing tons of business, you know, way before COVID with paper lead. So if you're not ahead of technology and building relationships, you're going to get left behind. Shout out to offer.

Speaker 1: 38:45

There we go. Never a plug around here on PTD. All right, RJ, what about you?

Speaker 4: 38:53

So, as a business, how are you adapting to new technology? So, like Steve said, we're not going to go out, we're not going to innovate, but you consistently show the entire industry that you're the best at what you do. The ones that do innovate will come to you. Now I don't know why CJ hasn't come to me yet. Apparently he just doesn't feel like offer bolts quite there yet.

Speaker 4: 39:21

Probably, ready for the King closer. But I got this fancy new belt. This is what happens when you're the King closer. Future number one affiliate. Re-simply King closer, RJ Bates, they come to you. You don't have to come to the technology chasing you down when you're the King closer. So this came in the mail last night. Cj bro, do better Okay.

Speaker 1: 39:58

I mean, what do you even say to that? How many belts does RJ have now? Like what is that? A 64th belt to go on the wall back there?

Speaker 4: 40:06

He's got belts sponsored by Chick-fil-A now, how many have I bought myself? I?

Speaker 1: 40:10

don't know. Four. There you go. We got an answer from Stratton Four. All right, stratton. What about you, man? What are you doing with new technology?

Speaker 5: 40:21

Man, I think new technology, if you aren't keeping up, it's going to absolutely destroy you. Now we have everybody in our companies getting used to using whatever like chat GPT, so it doubles to triples the output of your people. And then we've used now new AI voice recognition technologies to make our overseas hiring process simpler. There's all these different things that you can just apply over time, but I think with the offer bolt stuff, there's all sorts of MLS offer stuff Right now there's even AI cold calling stuff coming out that we're looking into and applying.

Speaker 5: 40:54

I think now more than ever, I do think you kind of, if you want to make the real money, I feel like you got to kind of dive into a cave or find that dude who went into the cave super early, because, like Chris said, you need to get that five years ago If you really want to make the margin that it's actually going to bring into your business. Because as soon as it's mass market, all of those let's say all the spread, is gone. As soon as everybody finds out about the spread, it's capitalism, it's gone, it's away. So if you can get into those rooms, go be the. I don't want to say go be the guy who's going to deep dive into AI. I'm with Steve. Don't go be an innovator, but find the man in the cave, become his best friend. Go buy him some cookies and then implement it into your business immediately, so you're going to make him kind of money. Get him some gummies.

Speaker 2: 41:42

You got to get him the Kroger veggie tray. That's what he wants.

Speaker 3: 41:45

That's what a veggie tray would range man Right. So look, I want Our James and Blue T's kind of go man.

Speaker 2: 41:51

I want to help RJ because he was confused. I just wanted to just go back here just a snap shot in time. Right, if you're the best, they will come to you. Cj, why haven't you come to me, like you answered your question? There you go, there you go, there you go.

Speaker 4: 42:06

Clearly CJ knows the product is not ready. That's why he's testing it out on the no, you said it.

Speaker 2: 42:14

Why do you? If you're the best, they will come to you. Now you're trying to modify. Right, I didn't know you were John Kerry. You're going to flip flop Like what are we doing here?

Speaker 3: 42:22

Well, rj, respect the boat. Yeah, respect the boat.

Speaker 4: 42:26

This is a true fact, though I mean, this is a massive problem.

Speaker 2: 42:29

Oh, is that a fake fact?

Speaker 4: 42:30

That's good All right as technology comes out with new things. There are so many people that are not in a position in their business to be trying to implement new technology without it being tested, without someone else coming along like CJ saying hey to my entire community, this is tested and it's been used in my business. Now use it. I see that as being a huge problem where newer wholesalers, newer business owners, they go out, they chase that unicorn. This is something I talk about all the time where it's like, hey, guys, pump the break.

Speaker 4: 43:05

Stratton was just talking about AI cold calling. That's also something that literally, I've had multiple people reach out to me and say we could take all of your live calls that exist, rj, and we can literally make the AI cold call just like you for your students. Literally, rj Bates would be cold calling. Is that something you want? Allow someone like me to go out and do the work on that to see if it's something that could be productive, rather than chasing that unicorn before it's perfected. That's what I was talking about there with CJ.

Speaker 5: 43:36

You want to hear the biggest scam. I think that's going on right now with. Ai.

Speaker 2: 43:41

Are we ready for this? I don't know.

Speaker 5: 43:44

All the people pushing out like the AI lead system that's been out for like six years and they just decided to remarket it as oh, this is all AI and it's been the same thing for the last six years. When I used it the first time, it was like okay, at best, Nobody wants to talk about that. You want to give an example? I don't want to put the company on blast, but I've seen six different people white label the software, Put on blast.

Speaker 4: 44:11

Why? Why did your biggest scam not have anything to do with Trump or black history month? I thought we were ending the episode the way we started.

Speaker 5: 44:24

Niggas for Trump. Give me. Trump will give me death. You know what it is, you.

Speaker 3: 44:31

Pray for strad and shout out to Steve Happy birthday, rj. I will say RJ. I think I reached out to you like six months. My phone act weird sometimes, so I'm gonna. My service is crazy, you know that man.

Speaker 2: 44:52

But I'm only CJ, only CJ. Does the text get lost in the mail?

Speaker 3: 44:57

I think I hit you six months ago. I want to double check. If not, I might I might change your life. What look? This is the bolt baby. We're not gonna. We're not gonna send you plastic belts, all right. We're not gonna talk to you about Affiliating dated technology All right. What was working five years ago? We're gonna talk to you about what works in the future.

Speaker 5: 45:21

It's not that heavy dude, come on it is a yard, hey.

Speaker 2: 45:27

Right it is if you're a Hall of Famer and peaked in Pop Warner.

Speaker 1: 45:30

Oh, man, so I do after he.

Speaker 4: 45:43

After two points to stratton, stratton wins today.

Speaker 1: 45:46

All right, so we're gonna go to, we're gonna go to the strat, we're gonna take away two from RJ. There we go. We got it down, there we go.

Speaker 5: 45:56

Anybody else want to donate to the church of strat?

Speaker 1: 46:02

RJ, rj just paid it, rj just did his tithing for for this week.

Speaker 2: 46:06

So we had we had an emergency meeting last year and I think we need to have another one about stratton. So right last year was like hey, what are we doing here? What can we do to promote this? I think what we need to talk about now is how do we make sure we don't get canceled? How do you make sure we're not offending people with sensibilities Offending?

Speaker 5: 46:23

well, it's their own choice that they want to be offended. That's their choice. It's not my choice. I'm not offended, anybody.

Speaker 2: 46:31

Very introspective. I appreciate that Sure. Thank you.

Speaker 1: 46:35

There we go, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna cut it. I'm gonna cut it based off of RJ's generous donation To 1 800 strat daddy. Over there we have stratton winning his first and probably final episode. Based on the fact that you know we may not be on the air any longer, we're gonna go ahead and do outros. We had a lot of fun with you guys today. We hope that you had fun as well, stratton as our, as our winner this week. Go ahead and, you know, say bye to the people first.

I'm sorry you peaked so early, bro, but I'm telling you, back in the gym you may have a chance, steve. Oh, you don't have to wear your masks anymore, bro. It's over. It's been like four years. You don't have to wear your mask in your Tesla anymore. You can stop getting boosters. I'm still thinking of something for you, bro. And then, yeah, lightning bolts in the background but we don't fix it.

Speaker 5: 47:42

There we go All right. Next up, steve, say bye to the people I.

Speaker 1: 47:47

Think strands of staking my vision pro in my Tesla.

Speaker 2: 47:50

I think strands of staking my vision pro in my Tesla for a mask. No, I am trying to get views and followers. That's what you're seeing when you see me in my Tesla and then when stratton says that his views don't reflect us, his language also Doesn't reflect us and I am concerned for strands well-being because I think he's gonna get a hold off like killer Mike For his statements on today's show. Congratulations on your last win. I think we're gonna have you back on the show.

Speaker 1: 48:19

There was a undisclosed altercation and he's no longer here. All right, cj. Say bye to the people by people.
