If We Can Ship Anything Overnight Why Can’t We Fix Cities

Watching a podcast “blow up” in the comments while the real views quietly die is a weird kind of failure, and we’ve both felt it. We talk through what happens when you lean into controversial topics, how social media algorithms reward outrage, and why engagement can be a misleading scoreboard if you care about long-term audience growth, retention, and trust.

Then we veer into the real-world stuff that shapes modern life more than we admit: wearable tech and sleep tracking (Whoop vs Apple Watch), battery life, and how Amazon Prime shipping has rewired our patience. When next-day delivery becomes the norm, even buying direct from a brand feels broken, and that ripple hits ecommerce, customer expectations, and how businesses compete.

From there, the conversation turns into a travel recap that becomes a bigger argument about cities, standards, and incentives. Portland, Oregon looks stunning and also visibly strained, with traffic choke points, tent encampments, graffiti, and trash that surprised us. We connect that to the “broken windows” approach to public order, question why domestic problems feel unsolved, and contrast it with how confidently people repeat foreign policy narratives around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. We close by getting practical again: why documenting SOPs matters right now, how AI automation can handle prospecting and follow-ups, and the never-ending iPhone vs Android debate in sales.

Metrics, Controversy, And Fake Engagement

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Sounds like totally clapped. So we had a little up and downsy on the podcast. For a while there, the views were really, really growing. And then we started to push some very controversial topics. And the podcast views died. The real views went through the roof. Yeah, they did. And the comments went up. But yeah, the comments went up, shares went up. But the thing with social media is it gives you a fake, a fake self of fake sense of this is working. Like a lot of times on social media, it's just people that want controversial crap and well it's entertainment, is what it is. Yeah, it's entertainment. It's just your sell entertainment is all. A podcast could be entertainment. You just have to be more entertaining than 30 seconds. Yeah, more entertaining than us. Well, more entertaining than me. Jonathan's pretty entertaining. So I'm charging my whoop band right now. So this podcast is brought to you by Whoop. It is. If you don't have a whoop, use a bitch. Get a whoop. And we do have a whoop community. And I think, do we have whoop affiliate links? Yeah. Yes, I have a whoop affiliate link. He does have a whoop affiliate link. One month free. No idea how to get to it. But I have one if he can't figure it out. Just go to whoop.com. So whoop, sponsor this, pay me 20 bucks next time, and I'll say whoop one more time. I do like the whoop band though.

SPEAKER_01 1:17

It's for a fitness tracker, it's probably one of the best ones. I think it is. I feel like because you know when you're trying to track your sleep with an Apple Watch? Yeah, it's way off. It's way off. It vibrates all night. Does it? Mine didn't. And then the battery life sucks.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

The battery life on this is like three or four weeks.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

Yeah, I usually get two weeks. That's because I'm smashing it in the gym, so you know it really has to work hard when it's on me.

SPEAKER_01 1:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:41

Yeah, I'm like smashing at the gym. Yeah. See the veins? The veins are popping.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

So kind of. But no, it's the if whoop by far is probably one of the best fitness trackers you can buy if you're looking for a fitness tracker. So that's us showing showing them a little love. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:57

Buy Whoop. At your local farmer's market. I think they carry me to Best Buy. Just buy it online. Don't be weird.

Amazon Prime And Instant Delivery Culture

SPEAKER_01 2:04

If you buy it online, sell them on Amazon. Yeah, you get it quicker. You do get it quicker than Best Buy, and you get it quicker than you do Whoop. So you know what's crazy about that is if a website, if like a company really wants to like sell more of their product, why is it you know a week slower to order it from the company than just Amazon? Shipping and fulfillment, Greg. Isn't that crazy? I just sat there and I was like, man, it almost took me two weeks to get my whoop band, and you got it in two days. Two days, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Two days. Jeff Bezos has taken over the world. Yeah. One shipment at a time.

unknown 2:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

You know what's crazy about Amazon? What? It is to the point now where I'm surprised if we don't have an Amazon package on our door when I get home.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

That's actually true. Or I'm surprised when I can't find what I'm looking for on Amazon without it being prime shipping. Where it's like multiple day shipping, like I'm shocked when I can't find an option that will work. That's not prime shipping.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Oh, I won't buy stuff if I can't get it next day. Isn't that crazy? Or like half the time I ordered, I needed pins. I'm out of like black and blue pins. So I thought you said D pens. I was like, why the fuck are you wearing diapers? No, no, no. Like black and blue G2s. And I ordered them like an hour ago in the office, and they should be here in the next couple hours.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

Yeah. That's what I like about Amazon. But it's very rare that I can't find something that is either prime or same day. Yeah. And if I can't find it, I'm like, I if I can't find it next day or same day with Amazon, I go to other retailers.

One-Day Work Trip To Oregon

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Yeah. Well, and and what's crazy about Amazon is now you can go there and not just get like whoop bands and stuff, but like they actually have the whoop store. Yeah. Or like for my scale, the whitting scale or whatever. Like they have a whole Whittings thing. I just bought the I bought the thing from El Gato. That came from Amazon and they have their own El Gato store where you can go search all their products. And I mean that was the same thing. I bought it in the morning, had it at two o'clock. Yeah. I think it came at like four, but it said like two to five. And I bought it. I think I was driving to work when I did it. So nine o'clock, eight o'clock in the morning, something like that. So it's pretty dope. So you just got back from a beautiful vacation in the lovely state of Oregon. Don't go. Don't go. And I grew up there.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

It's actually, you know. It's beautiful. It is. It is beautiful. The green is kind of cool. I feel like my test was my test levels were going down being in Oregon.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

It does drop. You do drop 212 nanograms on average.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

It's crazy, just it's a completely different vibe.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

Culture, like crazy about Oregon. If you would have just left Portland, you would have been like, oh, this is freaking awesome.

SPEAKER_01 4:22

No, I couldn't. I was only there. Literally, we flew out at 5 a.m. on Alaskan Airlines direct to Portland. Flew back on United at like 10 p.m. that night because we were there training a dealer all day. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

So sometime you'll have to go and you'll have to leave Portland. Stay out of Portland and Eugene, it's completely different state. And the highways there suck.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Like everything's three lanes, and it's like no wonder you guys have traffic jams and congestion. But I don't know. Because when you're driving through Portland, you're like the highway, and then there's like ravines right on the side of the highway. So I'm like, I guess they couldn't.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

Yeah, there's rivers, mountains, hills. They can't like it's like not like Phoenix where they could just open desert everywhere and put a five-lane, ten-lane highway in, and it doesn't affect it. Like, I get it. There's building constraints, but yeah, especially Portland traffic sucks all the way from Vancouver to really Salem, it's awful now.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

Um yeah, it took us an hour to go 20 miles. I was like, it takes me five minutes to do that in Phoenix. Yeah. Like, you know, six lanes of pure freeway. Did you guys hit downtown Portland at all? I drove through it. Like there was a sign with a deer, and it said Portland in downtown.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

Yeah, that's the I know what you're talking about. That's one of their that's the older sign. Yeah. It's like right off the highway? Yeah, by the river. Yeah, I forget what it's called. By the Willamette or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

Yeah. Yeah, Willamette. Because we were way west of Portland in this little town. Yeah, we were in the Hillsborough area, and it was just Hillsboro's kind of ghetto. Yeah, it was okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Except Hillsboro, you got you're right next to Beaverton, so that's where you got Nike, Intel, like all the big corporations. So there's a little bit of stuff going on out there. And I couldn't, I was surprised at all the little strip malls they had with all the little food.

Portland Homelessness, Trash, And Traffic

SPEAKER_01 5:56

They had a bunch of every food's bigger. Strip mall food with like five restaurants, and you'd look across the street, strip mall food with the same food as a place across the street. Portland saw a lot of homeless people. Portland's got one of the highest strip club uh densities, yeah. No wonder I saw so many.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

It's like right up there with Vegas or something. I might be ahead of Vegas. I can't remember, but there was some stuff.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Yeah, right across the dealership we're working, there are two strip clubs that we were working at. And there was a lot of homeless people everywhere. Like everywhere you look by the highway, if there's a any place that they could shelter, you saw like a city, like 15 to 20 tents. No, like all under the underpasses and stuff. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, damn, I was like, and it was like 40 degrees and raining out. I was like, this sucks. Yep. And yet they're sleeping in a tent. Whole city is a homeless shelter. I saw someone have there's a like a cardboard box mansion.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

They had a fence and they had all these cardboard boxes like cut as like roofs over it, and I was just like, Oh, where I used to live in Salem, just up the street, which was a pretty nice part of Salem, but up the street in the woods, there there was like a homeless shelter that went up, and there was a guy or gal, I don't know who it was, but they had built like a cardboard, like what you're saying, like two stories and everything. It was kind of dope, and they had a garage for their car. Yeah, like a homeless car. It was sweet.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

That's crazy. Yeah, I was shocked by how many homeless people were around there, and then I was shocked by all the trash on the highway. Yes, you know, because you drive around Phoenix and there's like no trash. No, Phoenix is clean. Yeah, you go to like New York City, there's trash everywhere. You go to Portland, there was like garbage everywhere in the side of the road, in the medians. Why do you think that is? It was disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

I don't know. Because I mean, we've got a lot more people in Phoenix. Like the Phoenix Metro is 4.7 million people or something. Portland is, I want to say the metro is like 800,000. You know, in Oregon, you pay a heck of a lot more taxes. I think they're opening too many learning centers. Learning centers. Learning.

SPEAKER_01 7:51

I really don't know why. You know, especially because it was gorgeous, like it was gorgeous. Like the the trees and everything, because we don't have trees really out here, like we got cactus, but see like the big pines and everything, like it was gorgeous. And then you're looking around on the street and you're like, there's fucking trash everywhere. Yeah. You know, I don't know why there's so much trash. It was it was actually shocking because the highways were more dirty than when I was in New York last month.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

It used to not be that bad. Yeah, it was gross. Like 15 years ago when I lived there. I don't, and maybe it was because I was just a kid, maybe not 15, would have been about 18 or 20 years ago. But like maybe it was because I was a kid, but like, dude, I don't remember that. I remember being able to go to Portland, being able to go to like the Pearl District, which is kind of the Biltmore area of Portland. Super nice to walk around, clean. Um and then in 2020 was the last time I've been to the Pearl area, Pearl District. Homeless people everywhere, you know, Nordstroms and all the high-end shopping. It's all boarded up windows, trash everywhere, people pissing on the side, shitting on the side of the street, sidewalks, like they gotta get their crap together.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, dude. I was shocked by the amount of just homeless people and trash. Also, but it was gorgeous. I thought like the river area, like downtown, I think, where the river is. Like the riverfront? Like the bay. I don't know with the bay.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Is that where the NATO building is? Did you drive into that area?

SPEAKER_01 9:10

Um, we were on the interstate, but I thought it was like pretty cool. Like the downtown looked nice. I didn't drive through it, but it looked interesting from yeah, you know, the Uber.

SPEAKER_00 9:18

Dude, it used to be a cool city. Yeah. Well, you guys got an Uber? Yeah. What is it with you guys in Ubers? Rent a damn car like an adult.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

Well, because we were in and out in one day. Freedom. So it was like we just Ubered to the to the dealership group and then we just Ubered back, you know, and like Do you trust Uber drivers? Yeah. Yeah. I tr I wouldn't want to drive in that shit in Portland, dude. That traffic and like was horrible. Like, no. Like there was a one, there was one, a one-lane exit to go to the airport, and it was stretched back like five miles. And the guy's like, we're not gonna wait in this line because we were I didn't realize it would take an hour to go 20 miles. So we're supposed to board at seven, we're supposed to board at seven. We didn't leave until six, and it's an hour drive to the airport, and we're like, we're gonna miss our flight.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Yeah, math ain't math.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yeah, we're gonna miss our flight, right? So the Uber driver actually picked up like 15 minutes for us because he knew, like, okay, I'm not gonna wait in this exit line. He went all the way to the front and then cut in right before the exit was. So I wouldn't have made it typical driving. Oh, yeah. Good. Yeah, I wouldn't have made it. I would have missed the flight. Yeah. And then I'd still probably be flying back today.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

You'd still be stuck in Portland. Bro, you would spend the night with the hookers.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

They did have a really nice airport though. Once you got to like the Well, they just remodeled the whole thing. Yeah, well, they're remodeling it. So when we got off the plane, I said, Man, this airport's a shithole for being Portland as a big city as it is and has a pro team. It's like this airport sucks. And then I got to like the main area where they've remodeled it, and I was like, holy shit, I was in this section.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Yeah, the front's remodeled and then the back end, they're putting in a new terminal. When did I go to Portland last? Probably a long time ago. I think it was last summer, actually. We flew in and yeah, I saw the remodel. We headed over to Ben, though. You need to go over to Central Oregon. It's all high desert. Kind of looks like this without the cactuses. Oh, really? Yeah. In Oregon? Uh-huh. Oh.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

I like the trees.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

I didn't mind the palm trees, like the pine trees.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

They still have evergreens, but they're the Douglas fir, which kind of gives you a different look than Phoenix. Yeah. But yeah, Central Oregon's dope. It's warmer in the summer.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Because it was raining and like cloudy, like the whole time we were there. And they're like, this is Oregon like eight months of the year. I don't know how you would live in that. Now I know why people are so depressed.

SPEAKER_00 11:29

Yeah, dude, seasonal depression is a real thing. I didn't understand it until I moved to Phoenix and mid-winter. I'm like, this is freaking awesome. Yeah. What is it? Like 80 degrees today. Next week's supposed to be 100. Supposed to hit 100 a couple times next week. Yeah, I'm gone next week during the day. In March. Where are you going again? Florida? Florida. So it'll be 80 and humid. Yeah. Nice. What part of Florida? Tampa. No.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Fort Lauderdale? I don't know. Somewhere in there. Fort Lauderdale. Somewhere over there. We're tra we're we're moving. We're on the move. Dude, I feel like I've traveled so much recently though.

unknown 11:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

You've been in New York, Mexico twice, then Puerto Rico, then Vegas, then New York, and then Oregon, and then Florida. The month of April, I'm not traveling anywhere though. That'll be the first month since uh like November. I haven't traveled somewhere in the month. Yeah, I don't I don't think anything's going on. I don't think we have any events either that we have to travel for.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

No, I don't think I have anything until May.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Yeah. Well, yeah, because we all go to Tampa. Back to Florida. Yeah, back to Florida. We gotta book our ship for that too.

Strait Of Hormuz And War Narratives

SPEAKER_00 12:26

Oh crap. Yep. That's not fun. No. Alright. You want to talk about the Strait of Hermuse? Hermuse? Hermuse?

SPEAKER_01 12:34

I think I don't know how to say it. Hermuse? I just think it's interesting what's going on. Tell me about it. How Iran's taking drones and attacking oil cargo. Like they're saying it's like the how Iran could get negotiations with the United States is by closing that and not letting oil go through because of the increase in oil prices.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

I mean it kind of worked because London, what are they called? London Capital or London Lloyds of London. Yeah, Lloyds of London, the big insurance carrier stopped it, and then Trump was like, we'll back the crap. And I guess some ships went through, some ships don't. Here's my issue with Iran and everything going on. So I posted a reel the other day, and I don't remember what I said. Basically, I said it wasn't our war and we're fighting somebody else's war, in my opinion. It's the right opinion. Factual. But someone came out and you know they wanted to call me out and tell me how horrible Iran is and how horrible of a person I am because Iran killed 40,000 people and blah blah blah. And I go, cool man. I'm glad you're reading that narrative. Yeah. Because here's the reality of it we don't know. And if you think you can believe the news and believe the government after the Epstein files, the moon landing, JFK, 9-11. What other crap have we been fed that we've pretty much said that's not how it worked? How'd you forget COVID? COVID. COVID was a good one. Well, because COVID never really existed. It's kind of like the boogeyman. Like if I'm thinking of the boogeyman, I can think of the boogeyman, but he doesn't come up that much in my life. It's like Santa Claus. Okay. He comes around once a year. Yeah. So it's like all of that is like, dude, like, you know, I respect your opinion, man. Maybe Iran did kill 40,000 people. And that's super sad. Not our war. Because if you're going to use that logic, then you know, why didn't we blow the hell out of South Africa recently? Why didn't we blow up, you know, all that the African countries that are at civil war right now or at war with another country, not even civil, but that crap is happening all over the world. And it's sad, but it's not a justification to go to war for the United States. Like you just talked about Portland, a complete shithole. Oh, it's a disaster. We're dropping a hundred. I mean, the missiles that we're dropping, some of them are a million dollars plus a pop. Yeah. What if we just took a million dollars, sent it to Portland, and sent in like ice? Not like immigration, but like ice they go in and clean up and shit.

unknown 14:53

Bro.

SPEAKER_00 14:53

It's my new ICE. I was trying to think of an acronym that might be.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

You know what would happen if you did that? They'd have an increase in autism centers being opened, an increase in learning centers being opened, and hospice centers being opened is what would happen.

SPEAKER_00 15:04

No, I don't believe that.

Broken Windows Theory For City Cleanup

SPEAKER_01 15:05

I do. I think they don't know how to handle their money. I think that's why it isn't. Do you know the Giuliani theory? What's that?

SPEAKER_00 15:10

Mayor Giuliani, back in the 90s or whenever Mayor Giuliani got elected the mayor of New York City. Yeah. So he runs on this campaign of basically saying, you know, we're gonna cut down on murder, cut down on violent crime, cut down on rapes, cut down on sexual assaults, like all the bad violent crimes. Yep. And he gets his spot as mayor, and then he starts targeting graffiti. He starts targeting vandalism and, you know, speeding tickets and just stupid stuff like that. And the people of New York are like, what the heck, dude? You're you know, going after all these petty crimes. You said you were gonna work for the murderers, and he just stayed to his plan, and all of a sudden you saw violent crime, murder rate, all of that drop. So that theory basically says if you start targeting the smaller action, the bigger actions become less of. Because think about it, like if I'm thinking about you know doing something stupid, yeah, and I know I'm gonna get rolled for tagging a building, you know, doing some graffiti tagging a building, like I might think a little bit more about beating someone's butt.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

But the problem with Portland is you know, they don't enforce anything.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

Like, I mean, you could probably I don't think I saw a cop when I was out there.

SPEAKER_00 16:12

No, you don't see many cops.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

And I don't think I saw a city. Oh, I did. When you drive into the airport, there was a cop sitting there.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

But there's graffiti everywhere in that city.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

Oh, dude, there's graffiti on the exit signs. Yep. Like you're driving down the interstate and you're trying to read the exit sign. And I asked the driver, I'm like, why is there spray paint on the graffiti signs? He's like, well, they they clean it up and then people just re-graffiti it, so they've just stopped fixing it. And I'm like, Well, how do you know where the exit is? He goes, Oh, we oh, everyone just uses GPS.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Yeah, well, everyone uses GPS, but think about this. Like, think about a neighborhood, right? You move into a neighborhood and your neighbor comes in, it's kind of a ran-down neighborhood. They call it gentrification. Yeah, it's a ran-down neighborhood, and all of a sudden, you know, someone decides to clean up their lawn and water it, make it green, edge it up, look a little cleaner. And then the guy next to him is like, dang, that looks good. So he wakes up on a Saturday, he goes and fixes his lawn, he cleans up, and then it just starts to spread throughout the neighborhood. Like, I think the same thing could potentially happen in Portland, but you would also need to get-I think he's way too fucking optimistic. Yeah, because I'm a good guy. So here's the problem with that. You also got to get rid of the homeless, you got to get rid of the open drug use, you gotta get open, you gotta get rid of the.

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Here comes now here comes the addendums to now them being able to do this is they gotta do X, Y, Z. Well, they have to because this, this, see, now we're now we're moving the target. They they've gone. I think they could do that if they did do all that, but they wouldn't. If you just gave them a million dollars and said, hey, let's go clean up the streets, right? And they clean them all up, a year later they're gonna be just as fucking dirty. Well, you're but if they get rid of the homeless, yeah, that's the dirt. They start doing, they start in like actually enforcing crime, like people breaking the laws. Yes, then yes, if you gave them a million dollars, it would probably stay cleaner. I would agree with that statement. See, move the target. Yeah, we gotta do all that. Move the fucking target.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

And then we gotta get back to principles, and we gotta get back to living a good life and having standards and having morals. Because Portland is just now we're asking for a lot from Portland, though. Standards and morals.

Oregon Nightlife And Liquor Laws

SPEAKER_01 18:04

I mean, that's dude. That city is just pushing the limit. Unmoral hell. Pushing the limit. Like I did see like a lot of strip clubs. Yeah. Like almost like every like five or ten minutes you would see. A lot of strip clubs, a lot of bars, a lot of a lot of bars. That's why I said it was a lot of like those, you know, those like little homy like restaurant bars. Like if you took like a zips and put it in a strip mall, yeah. There was like boom, boom.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

Yeah, they're all over. Yeah, the only nice thing about Oregon is if they serve liquor, they have to have an open kitchen. So in Oregon, you can pretty much walk in anywhere and get a decent burger. I do like that because in Phoenix, you know, there's there's a place just down the street, it's a beer brewery thing. And I stopped in there, this was years ago, and I'm like, I'll grab a beer and a burger or something like that. No food. So I grabbed a beer. And then I was sad because I wanted to eat. I was more hungry than I was thirsty or wanting to get a buzz that day. So then you didn't even caught a buzz? No, I just drank one. I was kind of mad. But yeah, in Oregon, if they serve alcohol or beer, I think it's liquor only. So do those liquor clubs serve alcohol?

SPEAKER_01 19:06

I think so. So then they have to have an open kitchen? I know because Salem. Imagine you're going and getting fucking tacos at the end.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

I've never been here, but I know Salem has I know this from like high school. Yeah. It's called I want to say it's called Cheetah's, and I could be completely wrong, but in Oregon you can have strip clubs that are 18 to 21, but they can't serve alcohol or something like that, I believe. No, no, I'm pretty sure the strip clubs do because there was one in like Salem, the town I lived in, like no BS. It's a small town, I think Salem itself is under 100,000 people. Yeah. It's a medium-sized town. And I had a four and a half mile drive to work, and I passed like three strip clubs in Salem. But the reason I'm saying I think they serve food is I remember one of them, it's out on South Commercial Street, always had a sign like prime rib dinner. Yeah. And Brittany and I would, I was like, there's no way in hell ever I would eat prime ribs. What kind of strip club?

SPEAKER_01 20:06

What kind of prime rib do you think you're getting?

SPEAKER_00 20:07

And I and I want to say it was like a 19, it was either 19.99 or a 29.99 special.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

Oh my god, dude. And I was just like, gross. That's crazy. I would never get food at a strip club. No. I I just I'm out on that. That's how you get mouth gonorrhea. Yeah, I'm out on that shit. But that's why I asked that question, though, because like if they serve alcohol and they're a strip club, do they have to have food?

SPEAKER_00 20:30

I think they do. I would assume they do. And I'm only assuming that because of the prime rib dinner. Gross. Disgusting. But yeah, no, Oregon's a goofy place. You gotta get out of Portland, it's a lot better.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

I didn't have time. Next time.

SPEAKER_00 20:44

Here's the other problem with Oregon, there's nothing to do. Like, what do you do there? If you go to Central or really India.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Yeah, the Trailblazers, basketball team.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Yeah, I mean, that's kind of cool. They got the Winter Hawks, which is WHL hockey. They have women's hockey? No, Western Hockey League. We're gonna update Greg on man sports here pretty soon. Like WHL is like, what is that? No, Western Hockey League. So they got they got the Winter Hawks, that's a pretty good team. They're fun to watch. I don't really like basketball, so I don't I I've been to like one plazers game. They used to have an NL lacrosse team. They got rid of that back, gosh, 2011, 2012. They've talked about bringing like a baseball team there, but it's never freaking happened.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

They've talked about you wouldn't you couldn't play baseball there. It rains too much.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

Yeah, that's probably true.

SPEAKER_01 21:26

You'd have to have it inside because it literally rained all day nonstop.

SPEAKER_00 21:31

Does Seattle have a baseball team?

SPEAKER_01 21:33

Yeah, but they play inside.

SPEAKER_00 21:34

Is it arena?

SPEAKER_01 21:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

At least I think they play in a dome.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

Who's Seattle's baseball? Oh, the Mariners. No, Mariners is an open field. And Seattle's more rainy than Portland. They get it figured out.

SPEAKER_01 21:49

Portland sucks. Just don't go there.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

Yeah, it's not fun. Yeah. Seattle's no better. And if you cross the bridge too. And the Northwest is gorgeous too. Like that's the thing. It's like Super. Like well, and and if you were there more, what you don't realize is you're an hour and a half from Mount Hood. So you can go snowboarding, skiing, whatever during the summer, you know, mountain biking, stuff like that, or just out camping, and then you're an hour and a half away from the coast. Yeah. Now it's not like you're gonna go surfing on the Oregon coast, some people do, but it is cold. But it's still it's honestly probably some of the coolest coastal land I've seen because it's super mountain, rocky, like really cool coast coast area, like the storms that roll in are freaking badass. Yeah, just the waters. I can't believe we talked about Portland for like 15 minutes. Oh, we're about 30. Yeah, we're about 30 minutes on Portland. We're about 30. We tried to go over to Iran and then I got bored with Iran. And then I think I compared Iran to Portland. Yeah. No, I I just said I compared Iran to LA in that meme I sent you. Did you? Yeah. I get a lot of memes.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

I don't remember what it said.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

My capacity to store memes in my head is starting to die.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Bro, this was actually a really good one that I sent you. Where is it at?

Tax Tease And LA Homeless Meme

SPEAKER_00 22:55

Let's see, what other topics did we have? Will you pull up that meme? Oh, Trump teased. This was about a week ago. He teased, and I think he's been teasing this for a while. No income tax, federal income tax for people making under$150,000 a year. That's crazy. Yeah, it's just a scam. Not a scam. It's a way to get you to pay attention to something else. Yeah, what are they what's he hiding? Iran. Well, they're hiding the Epstein files. But they're using Iran to hide the Epstein files.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

Yeah, I sent it to you. In our chat with Ali, it says, While Trump is attacking Iran, this is what Los Angeles looks like, and it's a bunch of homeless people on the street. And then the comment said, Well, I appreciate your aggressive stanch, I don't think the president can legally bomb Los Angeles. Oh, yeah, I've never seen that. Because it was just the street, just all homeless people. And yeah. Yeah, dude, they got like straight tent cities.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Yeah, that's what it was. And some of them have legit nice tents. Can the president legally bomb Los Angeles? I don't think so. What's the rules for that?

SPEAKER_01 23:59

I think you need Congress. To bomb the to bomb LA? You can just flatten it, start it over. Yeah, just that, you know, that street. Probably help. Kind of like what they do with the fires. Was that like a bomb would be way quicker than the fire.

SPEAKER_00 24:11

Skid Row or whatever it's called?

SPEAKER_01 24:12

Yeah. Skid Row in LA, or is that? Yeah, that's LA. I think that's LA Skid Row. Yeah. Yeah. But that was the one I sent you. That's a funny one. I laughed when I saw it.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

I'm from the West Coast, so I'm pretty cool. I know the rappers and stuff. No, I don't. Yeah. I was trying to be cool. So yeah. West Coast will annihilate all the cities, restart them. What are we gonna do with the people? Mm-hmm. Because they keep moving to Phoenix. Dude, it's crazy. We gotta kick them out.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Phoenix is going purple very quickly.

SPEAKER_00 24:43

Yeah, it's kind of purple. I like purple though. It keeps shit kind of moderated. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

For the most part, it's pretty dang conservative here, though. Well, did you see that they vetoed the memorial plate for Charlie Kirk? Did they? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 24:55

The governor vetoed it and was like, yep, we're not gonna do that. Because I think like the proceeds or something went. Turning point? No, that wasn't a turning point, it was something else. It was like some special, some other fund, I think. Probably APAC. Yeah, I don't know who I don't know who it was. Oh, I'm just kidding. They vetoed that like quick. I was like, oh, that's interesting. So that's like the the the hit in Phoenix of the news of what's going on out here.

SPEAKER_00 25:20

I thought they were putting like a Kirk statue out in Fountain Hill somewhere. I read that right after we got assassinated. Everyone was trying to do stuff right after he got assassinated.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

And then one of the what's the girl that's like all over his wife? What's her name? Oh, Candace? Yeah. Candace Owens. And she's saying that she's been married three times. Yeah, I caught that one the other day. Did you see that? I haven't dug into it though. That's what we need to dig into.

AI Bots, SOPs, And Automation

SPEAKER_00 25:42

Yeah, just some of those you dig into and then you hit like six more rabbit holes and then you don't sleep for six days, and then yeah. It's dangerous. Dude, that's where I'm at with AI right now.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

I was like on the whole flight home, I was just looking up AI stuff, AI stuff, AI stuff. Anytime I have free time, I'm looking it up right now.

SPEAKER_00 26:00

I'm messing with it. I built some bots to work for me at night.

SPEAKER_01 26:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

It's working pretty well.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

Well, because now you can have something working for you 24-7, 365, and you just have to have it plugged in.

SPEAKER_00 26:11

Well, and really for business owners, right now is the crucial time to be documenting all of your SOPs because the more you document them, the more you're gonna be able to implement AI. Yeah. Like seriously, you just get one of those little plod things that we have, talk through it with what you do, have it document the SOP, have it in writing. You might not be able to use it right away. I mean, you might be able to make an employee handbook and you know give it out to your team. But who knows in six months, like a quarter of those SOPs, you could have an AI bot doing them. Yeah. Like, especially if it's like sorting emails, finding emails. Like I even tried building an AI bot the other day on my iPhone. Honestly, like prospecting. You might need I might need to get an Android. I hate to say it. Why? Because I can't, because iMessage doesn't allow any third party to go view iMessage. Uh-huh. But if I got an Android, I could literally have an AI bot connect to my Android, view and find my messages that are stored in there, look for anything hidden that I'm freaking missing, or just simply write me text responses. Why not just get a Google phone number?

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Oh, I could run it through Google, Google Voice. Yeah, why not just get Google Voice and use it as like a business number?

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Yeah, and just text people through it. That's a good idea. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

I could try that. Because then if that account, if your number gets away.

SPEAKER_00 27:20

Well, it looks like I'm not getting any work done today, Greg. Thanks. Ha ha. That's usually how it works.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Now I'm gonna figure out a that's smart. Yeah, just use Google Voice. Because it should be able to connect with that guy if you're in Google Workspace.

SPEAKER_00 27:31

Well, Manus can connect with, and they're saying they're gonna get other other implementations or whatever through like WhatsApp and stuff, but right now Manus can connect to Telegram.

SPEAKER_01 27:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:40

And basically, excuse me, run your Telegram for you. I just I've used Telegram like once in my life.

SPEAKER_01 27:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:46

And I don't really know how to use it.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

Oh yeah, you were telling me that. You can do it that way too. You can do it both ways. But yeah, if you got a Google Voice number, I don't know why you couldn't.

SPEAKER_00 27:55

Yeah, because then it would just build directly on your desktop.

SPEAKER_01 27:58

Yeah. And then you could just Bro, imagine this for all your seminar lists, for everything. You wouldn't have to use LoopSender anymore.

unknown 28:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:06

So you'd have to worry about your Apple message getting flagged, and then you could also do cold prospecting outreach and everything.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

And then you can connect it to the CRM, have it read notes, know when your follow-up is, automatically send text follow-ups.

SPEAKER_01 28:20

Well, you could also set reminders for appointments, you could set reminders for missed appointments, you could do everything, dude.

iPhone Vs Android For Sales

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Hmm. I see where this is going. Yeah. But you have to have green text bubbles, and that means you're not a real human. Well, you are a real human. And you don't take life serious. And you like wasting money. He just said he wanted to get an Android. I said I thought about it. So he's not gonna be a real human.

SPEAKER_01 28:44

I said I thought about it, and then I talked myself out of it that quick. No, he didn't talk himself out of it. I said, why not get a Google Voice for it?

SPEAKER_00 28:50

The first thing you think when you text someone and green bubbles comes up. Fuck. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 28:58

I'm like, shit. We're uh we're texting a client and it's a group chat and it's green bubbles. I'm like, well, I know this person has an iPhone. I'm like, oh, group chat, you gotta figure out who to kick out. It's it's the client. I can't kick the client out. I can. I'm just like, God dang it, why do you have an Android? I think it should be, I think you should have to like let's just make it a law. You have to have an iPhone.

SPEAKER_00 29:19

Well, you remember when the twins surveyed our seminar? There's like 400 people there and they said who has an iPhone, who has an Android? There was like no, no, yes, 10, 10 people out of 400 had an Android. Yeah. And I know that's not the statistic in the United States. I know the statistic in the United States is iPhone has a slight majority. But why at a sales business seminar does most people have an iPhone? And even when I was selling cars, dude, when someone had an Android, we had the same, we had the same stereotype.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

It's like oh crap. I think it's just the crappy credit. I think it's the profession of sales because the integrations you can do with iPhone versus what you can do with Android.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

I think it's because high-performing individuals don't want to have to dick around with their phone all day. So they want something simple that doesn't break, and iPhone's really good at doing that. Yeah, that's true too. Because Android is a superior product. It's faster, it's got a better camera, it's got more applications, you can customize it more. Like, as far as like what you could do with an Android, outperforms iPhone. Yeah. The problem is, and it's been 10, 15 years since I've had one, but the problem is if you screw something up, they could bog down, and then you have to spend an hour trying to figure out what you did and fix it. So I think it's the simplicity of iPhone, is why a majority of business owners and sales personality. Well, I like that all my shit's connected too.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

My laptop to my iPad to my phone. Yeah, it makes it super simple. You know, and you can airdrop stuff, and like it's just especially when I'm trying to do a project on my on my iPad and I want it on my phone, and I can just airdrop it.

SPEAKER_00 30:47

I get mad when I'm on the phone with someone I'm gonna send them like a free book or something. I'm like, hey, you got an iPhone or Android? Android, shit, what's your email?

SPEAKER_01 30:52

Yeah, it's so true though.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

Yeah, iPhone anything. Send you files, I'll send you anything through iMessage and it works. Yeah. So that's cool. Hey, we've got a FedEx truck in the back. I wonder what they're bringing me today.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

I don't think I have any FedEx stuff. You've gotten really good with the green screen and like having like things roll through it so people think it's an actual background.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

Yeah, I've got Pakistani VAs. Yeah, and they do this. This is that's cool. Yeah. This is actually Pakistan, by the way. But it looks like Phoenix.

Travel Fears, Geography, And Curiosity

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Dude, I would never want to go to Pakistan.

SPEAKER_00 31:20

I've been near Pakistan.

SPEAKER_01 31:22

Near? Yeah, but you were in the army.

SPEAKER_00 31:25

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 31:26

I would never want to go to Pakistan.

SPEAKER_00 31:27

Why?

SPEAKER_01 31:28

No, I'm out. No. They got cool mountains. I think the only place I would go to in the Middle East would be Saudi Arabia.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

What about Dubai?

SPEAKER_01 31:35

And Dubai. There's other cool places. No, just those two. Actually. Qatar? Just Dubai. No, I don't want to go to Qatar. After they had the World Cup there, no, I'm good.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

Saudi Arabia is a little bit they're a little bit more straight.

SPEAKER_01 31:48

I'd go to Egypt, does that count? I go to Cairo, but that's not the Middle East. I think it is. That's like more Africa.

SPEAKER_00 31:54

But the Middle East is like Africa, Asia.

SPEAKER_01 31:56

I don't know if that I don't know if that's the other thing. No, I think it's mostly Asia. Yeah, I don't think Kai Egypt is Asia? No. Uh the Middle East. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:04

Like Western Asia. How about Kyrgyzstan? No. I've been there. Only to Manis.

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Yeah, I would never do that. No, I'm out. I think I think Dubai is the only place I would want to go. I think it's a lot more fun than you think. The Middle East?

SPEAKER_00 32:20

Yeah, man. You wanna get blown up? It's not that bad. Okay. That's all a US narrative. You don't think really? I think so. Huh. I don't think most people are bad. I mean, you've got that dumb Canadian YouTuber that goes to like Afghanistan and Iraq. He's that little fat shit. Yeah. His channel's actually semi-interesting, but you know, you've got to be careful. But he yeah, he went to Afghanistan. He was rolling around like Cabal and all over the place. He had some little Afghan tour, and there were a couple times that he had to be careful, but he ran into the Taliban a few times and you know, gate or roadside checks and stuff, and he lived. I think he went to uh North Korea as well.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

Yeah, I just think you're playing with fire. You know, it'd be like if I was gonna go to Dubai, I want to go to Dubai right now either. But okay, but you could also go to St. Louis or Chicago. I'm not going to fucking St. Louis or Chicago. So this is reinforcing my theory. I would not go there.

SPEAKER_00 33:11

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

If I if a client was like, come hang out in St. Louis, I'd say, fuck no, I'm not going to St. Louis. See, I see as a better place.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

I'm not going to Baltimore. I don't think it's as bad. Because I was fed the narrative my entire think about this. Would you go to St. Louis? Think about this. Would you go to St. Louis? Probably. They got the arch. That seems kind of cool. Andy Frasell is there. Yeah. Okay. I'd go uh visit First Form. So think about this though. Like you You know First Form's not in St. Louis, right? It's close enough. No, it's not. You have to fly into St. Louis. It's like Salem. Do you have to fly into St. Louis? Doesn't mean that you're visiting St. Louis. I'm going to drive through it. So back to my point. Semantics. So you and Maria, more of Maria, but you a little bit. Like going into Mexico, you're questioning a lot of stuff. I wasn't questioning shit. You were scared shitless. What the fuck are you talking about? You're like, is it safe? Are we going to get ran by the cartel? And then you drive through Mexico for four hours and you're like, not a dang thing.

SPEAKER_01 34:05

Bro, I was good. I was just like, is it like cool to drive through there? And you're like, yeah, we're good. Maria was the one who was more forgot about it.

SPEAKER_00 34:11

But I mean, think about it. We were we we drove in a convoy of like eight. The cheapest car was actually probably your car. And that's a a brand new Bronco, like a nice Bronco too.$80,000 Bronco. And that was the cheapest car we drove, and everything else was uh Yukon GMCs, Denali's AT4s, some X or some Escalades. Like so we rolled through, and obviously we're grabbing attention because that's just not the you know normal car in Mexico. No. But not one time, and we pulled over at a few little gas stops, and some of them were, you know, kind of sketchy. Yeah. Not one time did I feel any danger. I didn't either in Mexico. No, but I I've been told my entire life, like, oh, Mexico is so dangerous. You gotta be careful, and I'm sure you gotta be careful. Like, there's cartel areas that you probably don't want to go hang out in. Like, unless they want to create me, I might, I might be about that lifestyle.

SPEAKER_01 34:59

I can be a cartel leader. There's also, I mean, not an active like war going on in Mexico.

SPEAKER_00 35:05

There's kind of an active war between the cartels and the government. Is that still going on though? I think so. I haven't seen shit about it. But here's the thing they don't want to hurt Americans that are giving them money.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

Yeah, I haven't seen anything about it for weeks. Buying their drugs. Or two weeks. I haven't seen anything about it for since Operation Iraqi Freedom started.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

Iraqi freedom.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

Iran freedom.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

Iran freedom.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

What do they call it? They call it like Operation Swift Fury or some nonsense. What's Operation going on an Iraq freedom? Anaconda. I have no idea. Roaring Lion or some bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't think the world is bad as we as we are set to believe. And I also think a lot of the stories you get from people who travel abroad are just dumb Americans that don't respect anybody's culture and they go down there and are just a bunch of jackasses.

SPEAKER_01 35:48

Yeah, I just wouldn't want to go there. It's not that I don't think it's necessarily like Dude, they got cool stuff. What? Like Tell me what? Like the beginning of the world. Bro, no, I'm out, dude. Like you could go see. Give me a beach. I don't I don't care to go see that shit.

SPEAKER_00 36:03

They got beaches without water. The whole dang country's a beach. So then why the fuck would I want to go there if there's no water? Falafels.

SPEAKER_01 36:11

Dude, I footbred. Yeah, I bro, you're not summary on this. That's like, dude, like you might like to see history, and that's why you want to go to Germany because it's so cool to see castles that are fucking a thousand years old. Yeah, man, that's badass. But me, I'd rather like go to the beach or like take my kids to Disney World. That sounds boring. What? What's there to do at the beach? You got two days and you're bored. No. You can go deep sea fishing, you can go fishing, you can get some sun, you can I'd rather do that. What are you gonna do with a bunch of fish that you catch? You wanna bring it all home? Eat them. Not eat them there. You're not eating you, you could go to a restaurant and buy fish. Yeah, you can catch them. Dude, I'm not saying that you stay at the beach for all two days.

SPEAKER_00 36:48

Dude, you could go down the street here and go pick strawberries.

SPEAKER_01 36:50

I'm not doing that. That's not fun. I'd rather I'd rather go like lay by the pool, relax, beach, lobster tails. I'd rather go to like Vedanta. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 37:03

I mean, it's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

But versus like, I have no interest to go to Germany or to Rome.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

Like Rome would be badass. Why? I've been to northern Italy, not southern Italy though. Well, that was when you were working, wasn't it? Yeah, it was when I was living over there. But like going to see the Coliseum, that'd be kind of cool.

SPEAKER_01 37:20

I dude, I'm unless I could go and there's not a billion people there trying to see it, and it's gonna be a billionaire disaster. Like I do not like that part. Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. I'm like, I just don't want to deal with the crowds. Like, I'm good. I'd rather just there's crowds at the beach. Then there's not. Maybe not at Vedanta. Yeah. You go to like there's no one at the beach of the California, there is. Well, I'm not going to those beaches. I'm not, first off, first you said California. That was your first. They got good beaches. I'm not fucking going to California. If you go to Orange, we went to Anaheim and I told Maria, I was like, I don't ever want to go to Disneyland again. I was like, I don't ever want to go to California.

SPEAKER_00 37:55

Orange County's kind of cool. I'm I'm out, dude. But I can't afford to live in Orange County and pay their taxes.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

Yeah, I'm out, man, on California, just even visiting it. Just like just like Oregon, just like Washington, like zero interest.

SPEAKER_00 38:09

Do you like skiing? Nope. Snowboarding? Nope. Kind of boring. Yeah, I mean. You said you like fishing.

SPEAKER_01 38:17

Yeah, I'll go fishing. Oregon's got good fishing. Well, so does Montana. I'm not going to Montana. Montana would be cool. Actually, Montana would be kind of cool. Go fly fishing or something up there.

SPEAKER_00 38:26

Yeah, Montana would be fun.

SPEAKER_01 38:27

Yeah, Montana would be good. Alaska's got good fishing. I do like Alaska. I'd I'd go to Alaska.

SPEAKER_00 38:32

Been to Alaska.

SPEAKER_01 38:33

But I wouldn't, yeah, I just, bro, going to the Middle East and shit like that just isn't like Maybe they got good fishing. I don't know. Well, how do you go fishing when you have beaches with no water? They got like little shit rivers. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, man, they got like three-eyed fish and stuff. Dude, I'm just like, yeah, I think saw I think Dubai would be the only place I'd want to go to over there. That's a Dubai.

SPEAKER_00 38:54

Nah, I think if you could go explore and you had the right person that would keep you semi-safe, I think there'd be really cool stuff. A lot of ancient stuff in the Middle East. A lot of biblical crap. Go to Jerusalem. I don't know if I do that. Go to Jordan. I don't know if I do that either. I've been to Jordan. What about Yemen? Would you go to Yemen? Isn't that in Africa? No. So today on the podcast, you're learning how much we actually know geography.

SPEAKER_01 39:23

You're learning about our geography, which is horrible. That's okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:27

What about Africa? I'd go to Africa. What part? Go to South Africa. You know South Africa, they're not liking white people right now. I'd go to South Africa. And you're worried about the Middle East. I go to like Cape Town. They're actually killing white people.

SPEAKER_01 39:42

I'd make Ali go with me. I'd have Ali take me around. He's from West Africa. That's cool. I'd go to West Africa then.

SPEAKER_00 39:48

Probably don't like him. Like Kenya. South Africa. I don't know anything about Africa.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

Yeah, I go with I'd go with Ali.

SPEAKER_00 39:55

I think Northern Africa's got some cool stuff.

SPEAKER_01 39:58

Yeah, that's where Egypt is.

SPEAKER_00 39:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

Morocco. I'd go to Morocco. Is that Africa? I don't know where that is.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

I feel like that's right off of Italy somewhere. Do I need to figure this out? I don't know. Map. This is why elementary school wasn't important. Because I've gone 37 years without understanding where crap is. And if I need to, I will Google it. Where's Morocco? What else were we talking about? Do we have anything? We have the Trump thing.

SPEAKER_01 40:22

Oh, Morocco's in Africa, dude. It's over by Spain.

SPEAKER_00 40:25

Oh yeah. They kind of all like blend together. It's kind of like America. Is that a break? Central America. South America. You know the biggest.

SPEAKER_01 40:37

Yeah, Morocco's right there in Africa, dude.

SPEAKER_00 40:39

The biggest city in America in North America?

SPEAKER_01 40:41

What?

SPEAKER_00 40:41

Los Angeles? Mexico City.

SPEAKER_01 40:44

Oh, in North America. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 40:46
