And we're back. Welcome back to season two of your favorite podcast. De-influenced. You know what I'm going to start with this? I found, uh, did she herselfs, did Alex Earle herself send these cans? No, we actually bought those cans. Oh, we did? Okay.

Why don't you open them next to the microphone for a little ASMR? ASMR. You know what? I felt like she's been, uh, I mean this like in a trending sense. She's been real hot lately. I don't mean like, you know, you know, But she is hot. It's okay.

But I'm going to try this because I've been seeing it all over the internet. Well, before you do, can I, can I introduce you first? Yeah. So this is Danny Austin and I am here with my husband, Jordan Ramirez, and we are back for season two of De-influenced and this season is about to get wild. We have the craziest episodes planned for you guys, starting with today where honestly Jordan is just completely unfiltered. It's a little too much.

I'm kind of scared. I'm in my loose canon era. That's what he says. His loose canon era. Okay, so did you like the drink? You know, I'd give it like a six out of ten. I can tell it has a lot of caffeine because I'm already like, my heart is already kind of. You took one.

I'm very sensitive to substances though. That's why I don't do drugs. And the moral side of it. The moral side of it too. So a girl in our team, Nikki, had a whole amino lean the other day before one of her workouts. And she literally, she said that she felt like her brain was going to explode. Yeah. Like she, I think it has like 300 milligrams of caffeine, which is, I could be wrong.

Maybe it's 200. But like to live a lifestyle like Alex Earle, I mean, she's an Ibiza right now. It makes a lot of sense. I'm like, that girl goes out every single night. She's pounding her own amino weights. But I will say, I really like them. I think they taste good. Yeah, no, they taste good.

I drink half. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not a big pre-workout guy. Girl, gal. Girlie. Curly. Curly. Curly. Oh man, we're catching up.

I'm really happy with this new format. We just kind of talk about things. I think that we kind of got... The first episode of the first season was. It was like structured and it was like we were trying to fit in this. We had to find our rhythm. That's so funny. I'm looking at this season as more structured and you're looking at this season as less structured.

Oh yeah. I just see a bunch of things I would want to talk about. It's just, it's honestly a mentality. It's a mentality. Because my biggest thing is I feel like podcasts are built off of segments and I want segments. So I want there to be like building blocks to each like sections.

And Jordan's like, let's just talk. But I like to be organized because I like, I feel like it helps the rhythm of the conversation when you have like, okay, we start with this. So we have a segment that we're going to be doing later on today. What's we called? It's called Danny. It's Danny's genius idea. It's called things that make you go. And she came to me in the bedroom and she said, babe, I have a genius idea for a segment.

And I go, what is it? And she was like, what if we did like a segment that was like things that. make you go, hmm, and she just like stared at me and I was like, okay. Yeah, I mean, that's great. But here's what's funny is we'll talk about something and then afterwards we'll give the type of, it could be, hmm, or it could be, hmm, or it could be, hmm. Yeah, I get it. So many different hmms. Before we jump into the podcast, can we just ask you, how have you been doing? You've had a couple weeks off, some bye weeks. How are we doing in life? Well, I'm feeling pretty sexy these days. Yeah, you went to Sports Illustrated?

You know, it's funny because... I'm totally teasing, but yeah, I went to Sports Illustrated. It was a swim event. They were launching their magazine because they only launched one each year. Right. So they were launching with all the swimsuit cover models. And they went, all the models went from New York to Florida to celebrate.

Unfortunately, Martha Stewart did not make it. But Megan Fox was there. Wow. Which was crazy. Was she nice? She, so this is also like, well, we'll get into it, but basically a lot of times that celebrities show up to an event, they literally just show up to take to walk the red carpet and then they leave. That's what she did. That's so rude.

I know. So nobody like really saw her. Wow. Did you see her on the red carpet though? No. Because she like, so we all walked the red carpet and then we went inside. We had, you know, dinner and everything. And then while like, like she got the red carpet to herself.

Wow. She had her a moment. You know what's funny about, funny about this podcast. is like sometimes like we haven't really talked about your experience at Sports Illustrated because I was like hey let's save it for the podcast just tell me about it then yeah so it's fresh how how was it so I got invited by electric picks and so the way that that worked out was there is a model brooks nader who I think about three years ago she was on the cover of sports illustrated and they were shooting her cover and they didn't like the earrings that she was supposed to be wearing

for the cover. So she brought out her own and they were electric picks earrings. And electric picks for those of y'all that don't know, it's like the only gold jewelry I pretty much wear it's like super affordable. I've done a collection with them. MJ is the founder, CEO. She's like so amazing. She's so generous. We've just like stayed in touch. And so I was more so like wanting to go to, you know, support my girl. But then I also like kind of did like a little bit more research about, are you looking at this pen? I'm from my phone, honestly. Then I started doing like a little bit more research. This is super distracting.

I'm so sorry. Keep going. I found it. Okay, thank you. I started doing more research about Sports Illustrated and like started looking at their Instagram and stuff that they're putting out because, you know, I'm sure Sports Illustrated like when I was little was probably not the most wholesome magazine. No, it was like there's like two things that young boys are like not allowed to look at.

It's like Victoria Secrets catalogs. Yeah. that your mom gets and Sports Illustrated some suit of this. So when you went, I mean, we can talk about this if you want, but there was a little bit of a moral dilemma that I had. That you had specifically. But so I started looking at their Instagram, started looking up what they were putting out, their content.

And, you know, at the time, they hadn't announced any models or anything. But I was like, this is pretty cool. Like they had a pregnant girl on their Instagram. They had lots of diversity, lots of, like, body, you know, different sizes, different body types. So I was like, oh, I like this. And you know me like, like, I'm a lot. going to hold like I think every brand deserves a chance to kind of evolve to figure things out um you know

I'm not saying that I love every decision of every brand that I've ever supported that's really hard to do because we live in a broken world and people are going to make decisions that I don't agree with but overall like I thought you know I love MJ I wanted to support electric picks and it seemed like a place where I felt like a lot of females were going to be just supporting other females and so I was like yeah let's go and I also had two really good girlfriends that were going that are also like, you know, Laura Beaverland and Lauren Kisems, Maddie Messer. Good gals. Good gals.

So I was like, you know, if anything like goes crazy, like I'll just go hang out with them, you know. And like Lauren Kaysen is like pregnant. So I'm pretty sure like we'll be okay. And we're staying at a beautiful hotel. Like what could really go wrong? And I have to say nothing went wrong. I like I literally, I've been to so many blogger events in, you know, L.A., New York, even Dallas where you walk in and you just feel so intimidated.

Like some of these girls are not so friendly. I think girls feel competitive with each other. But I think that this was the most confident room I've ever walked into. And when you hang out with a lot of confident females, there's a lot less cattyness because everyone is so confident and like sure of themselves that no one's like trying to compete. Everyone's very inclusive. Everyone's so kind. And like, I mean, it was the craziest experience because there were two girls in particular.

I was really excited to meet. Melissa Wood, her Instagram is Melissa would. health and then Lindsay Lane. And then of course, Brooks Nader. I, so there's three, really. And I told my mom on the way there, I pulled up their Instagrams. I'm like, mom, these are the girls I want to meet. Like, I absolutely love them. I've been following them for years. They've inspired me in different ways. Every single one of them, like, came up to me and was like, Danny, I love your, like, so kind whenever I was like so nervous to talk to them. Like, I was like trying to prepare tornado so that she could walk up to them and like introduce me. And they were so sweet. And like, these girls are like hot.

Like you know what I mean? Like when you put me next to them, it's like you kind of feel like a umpalupa. False. But then I started hanging out with them. I'm like, no, like I feel even better about myself when I hang out with you. And those are the type of, it was crazy. Like I truly felt like I left that weekend feeling so confident. And any time that anybody said any like negative self talk about themselves, all like the

girls being, uh-uh, you're, you're sexy, you're beautiful. You got it going on. And it's not about the swimsuits. It's about your story. Who are you? What are you trying to do? What's your message? And I was like, I was like, dang.

Like I just felt so good about myself after. And nothing to do with like physical appearance. I can't explain it. Like it just felt like even more confident in my outfit, in myself, in my look. I don't know. It was just, it was different. So, and then it was cool. So, you know, it started out with Friday night.

There was like a little, you know, red carpet, which by the way, I've never done a red carpet before. You slayed it. Well, so I've done, this is what I've learned. I've done fake red carpet. carpets. What's a fake red carpet? I know. So these brands that we've worked with when they're like, oh, there's a red carpet. They basically like fake it. Like they hire photographers. They hire like, you know, content creators to come in and be like, you know, Danny, take a picture here. Danny, Danny. It's fake. This was like real. Like these were like real media outlets. They introduced you before you

walk the red carpet. They're like, okay. And they introduced the paparazzi. The paparazzi is like all lined up. And they're like, this is Danny Austin. D. N. I. And I. and they have your name on like a piece of paper. They show it to the paparazzi. And when you're walking the red carpet, this is something else I learned. Like you basically are like working in conjunction with the like with the photographers. Like you're working for them.

So you basically shoot for each camera lens. And they're like, Danny, can you do can you give me an over their shoulder? Danny can you give me a hand on the hip? Like you're like working with them to get the shot that they want. And like if they mess up, they're like, Danny, I got your eyes closed. Look here again. Look here again. Cinerate.

And that's why they're all yelling at you. And they know your name, Danny, Danny, Danny. It was the craziest experience, but like, so, you know, the models were the ones that were supposed to be walking. But MJ invited, like, was like, hey, you can walk the red carpet. And I was like, I don't know, like, you know, I don't necessarily, it's not going to really benefit me at all. I was like, maybe it'll help my SEO when people try to Google me and things about me.

Maybe like this will pop up instead. Like, honestly, like, that's what I'm thinking in my head. I'm like, okay, sure. And so there were like a bunch of girls that were like nervous to go. You know, and we were walking. I would be terrified. Because it's very intimidating. And then you have some girls like Nostia Luka,

you know, she's an Olympic athlete. Like she just got south there and she's working it. Like she's done this before. You know, there's some girls that are like, another red carpet. But like for some of us, we're like, wait, what are we doing? So I was like saying that I'm like trying to get other girls like,

you know, no, you go first. No, you go first. And like nobody wants to go first. So I was like, just screw it. I'll go first. So I went first. Yeah. And then I feel like whenever you get out there,

like you just have to, Like I just told myself, I was like, Danny, just fake it so you make it. Just own it. Just act like you know what you're doing. And so I just went out there and I just was given the serious face. I was given the looks. I was trying my poses. And then afterwards they were like, oh my gosh, it was like such an adrenaline rush.

Yeah. Did your mom walk the red carpet? No, she didn't want to. Oh, that would have been epic. I know. I didn't. I thought she was going to. And then she walked away like slowly.

But then it was really cute because she got in the elevator because if you weren't walking, you had to go up. And she screamed, that's my daughter. Oh, she was probably so proud. It was really sweet. And so that was a fun experience. And then we went, we had dinner, we hung out, we met all the other girls. And so then the next day is the day where we hung out by the pool where it was like panels.

They did meet and greets. They had different brands that were sponsoring dibs was a part of it, which was really cool. They did, you know, like a hair and makeup bar. Was divvy there? No, Divy wasn't there. But it was very sweet because MJ put. divvy in all of the rooms of the models. Oh, that's cool.

So all the models got divvy, which was cool. Tyler Cameron was there. Matt James was there. So there's like two of the, you know, people that I kind of knew from like, I don't know, the scene. And then I'm trying to think, oh, okay, so it was cool. So Saturday, they asked me to come back, like around 3.30 or 4 to do a interview for Sports Illustrated. They were trying to highlight, like, female entrepreneurs. And they like learned that I was an entrepreneur.

They thought I was just like an influencer, but they learned about Divi while I was there. So I guess like their editor-in-chief and their, you know, marketing girl were like, come back, we want to interview you with Brooks Nader. So I did that interview, like totally not prepared. But it was like probably one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. Do you kill it?

Yeah, I feel like I did. Like afterwards like everyone, even the cameraman were like, wait, where do I get Divi? Like they all wanted it. I was like, dang. I feel like I like really. sold it there like I really like put my heart on the line and was like just and I think too for a lot of those girls a lot of them wear hair extensions and people get divy confused like divy is great for girls

that wear hair extensions like it's it's like it's like almost like I created for them because you know I always had or I didn't always but I had those tapins for two years and I still do my like clip ins every so once in a while but um so that was a lot of fun um a lot of people I met a lot of people that day and then oh but it was funny because there was like a break between like the panels and you know meeting everyone for brunch that morning there was a break before the interview and so most people went and laid by the pool and I was like well I can't go late by the pool because I have this interview like I don't want to get all sweaty before the interview so I was like I need to go inside so I took Nikki and we went to gamble we went to play

blackjack oh oh my gosh so I actually have to say that was probably one of my favorite things that we did the entire day too did you win I won a hundred and $68. I mean, because my thing with gambling is because, like, you know me, I do not like to lose money. I like to make money, but I do not like to lose it. And my biggest thing was I started with $200. And I was like, Nikki, I will not send more than this, but I want to see how much I can make from this. I honestly could have kept going.

I think I could have. I know I could have made like, you're on a roll. I was on a roll. I could have made thousands and thousands of dollars. But I was responsible and I cut myself off. Yep. So I walked in I walked out with like 4168 no I made $268 I'm sorry I started with 200 yeah 260 I don't know honestly who cares but um no it said that was so much fun we did that for like about an hour

I heard a little birdie told me that you got kicked out of the casino though that was the night before yeah we did um so got rowdy yeah we got we got crazy um no honestly what happened was I didn't have my ID. I had my credit cards. So I was like, why am I going to need my ID? Like I, you know, and I was trying to, but I didn't have any cash. So we had to go in line at the cashier's line, you know. And the only way that you could use your credit card to get cash to gamble was if you

bought a player's card. And the players card, you basically just like get benefits, you know, you get points and stuff for like using it around the hotel. So when we got up there, though, I only had my credit card. But Nikki had our business credit card with her name on it. It was like Nikki and Danny, you know, we opened a business card. So, and she had her ID. So we put the players card on her name.

And we got a card. Nikki still has it. It's like Nikki Cronin players card, you know, hard rock Hollywood. All the IRS agents listening are like, what is this girl doing? She's just openly admitting it. Sorry. It's only $200. Okay.

So it was for the content. It's for business. So we go and sit down. And this was so crazy. So this was the night before, okay? And I start winning. I am winning literally. I'm getting like blackjack like every other hand.

Like it's crazy. You know, I'm getting 20, 21, 20, 21. And everybody at the table, like we're starting like, everybody's like, she's counting cards. Yeah, yeah. They're like, Danny, Danny. No, I'm just kidding. But the table like loved us.

We had so much fun. We were like killing it. And all of a sudden these security guards woke up. And they're like, Miss Cronin. And I'm like, what? And they're like, Miss Cronin, is this you? And they like want to see my ID to make sure that I'm Nikki, Cronin. And I'm like, was Nikki there?

Yeah. I'm like, no, that's Nikki. They're like, well, you got the card under Nikki's name and you're not Nicky. You can't be playing. Well, I was like, well, I already have all these chips. So can I just play with these chips? Like, how do you know where I got these chips from? Anyway, they told me that Nikki, you know, was like all freaking out.

I'm like, Nikki, it's finally. like we're not going to jail like it's fine if anything they'll kick us out but like you know and niki's like we got to go we got to go and i'm like so everybody at the table they like love this so much they're like if you just walk away with the chips and then come back and sit down you'll be fine you can't like right now you need to leave like there's like so many table rules you know and so um so basically i'm like niki let's just like walk away and come and she was too scared so oh so that's the end of the story you just walked away yeah we didn't know i thought you were gonna like say you went back and then they were like carrying you kicking and screaming out no they just asked

us to leave and then um never said anything again because then i had the chips right then yeah and then you cashed them in then well and then that's when i played the next day but yeah wow i have to say like oh we also smoked a fisher sweet that night okay thank you for sharing i really kind of got a depiction of what what danny was out to play that night fun day yeah fun danny No, honestly, so that we got kicked. I would say you spent the majority of the night trying to get the players card. But no, it was so much fun. And then the next day, yeah, we left.

So overall, Sports Illustrated has turned their brand around. It's not thirst traps anymore. From what I understand. I don't know everything. I literally just went to this one event. I mean, I just like never. Man, I just never knew two things. One in college, I never thought I'd be married to a coyo.

It was amazing. And then two, I never thought I would be married to a Sports Illustrated model. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. Well, while you were gone in Thirst Trap City, I was at a Christian's men's retreat, doing my diligence for the Lord. Doing the Lord's work. Doing the Lord's work.

You know, it was fun. It was at upstate New York. Have I told you about this story? You seem uninterested. No, I'm listening. I want to know. Tell me everything. See, this is why I don't like your routine because you're looking at the paper and you're saying, should we move on to the next topic? No, I'm just making sure that I covered all my points.

It's literally so Sports Illustrative. Yeah, no, you're right. No, I made notes. I made notes. See? Oh, did you cover them all before we move on? Yes, I put Melissa Woodland. Yeah, the only thing I wanted to say was Brooks Nader's name sounds like Remy Bader's name. Good. That's all I've done. It is kind of like a reverse leg.

It's Rooks. Nader and Remy Bader. Wow. You should be friends. Yeah, I know. And they're both in New York. So anyway. Okay.

Do you want to ask me how my retreat went? Please tell me about everything about this Ben's retreat. Well, there's not that much interesting. It was like a group of 18 guys, but I will tell you about this one guy I met. His name was Josh. Okay.

So Josh, and I don't want this to get all like political and weird, but he worked for a former president, not President Trump. And he was like... So you're saying you voted for Trump. So you're saying you love Trump. Oh my gosh. So he... It was a couple administrations back and also not Obama.

So you're saying you love Obama? And you're saying you vote for Obama? Oh, I get it now. So anyway, he was probably... I told him this to his face if he listens to the podcast, which he probably doesn't. He's like, yeah, my favorite podcast, D. He's not the demo.

But Josh was in the inner circle of a president. And a couple fun facts about this guy. I spent two hours. I mean, you know I love. I know which president is and you can't say which one. I mean, fine. What does it matter? I don't know.

Don't ask me. I don't want to. The CIA is going to knock on our front door. No, the CIA wouldn't knock on our front door. They would just kidnap us. I know their tactics. So anyway, he worked for a president and he had flown on Air Force One over 37 times. Wow.

He met, I'm just going to give you the interesting facts and we can move on to the next point. He had met Vladimir Putin and I asked him, oh my gosh, what's he like? And he said he's short, but also a gangster. He said he's a very, very scary man. I could see that. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So that was really interesting.

I asked him a lot about how the media worked. And he told me quite a bit. He said that they had like a really good relationship with the reporters, but he said that there definitely was like kind of pay-to-play activity, especially like in this administration. Duh. I was like, tell me something I don't know, Josh. What else was super interesting?

He said, oh, he said that the president that he worked for led him to Jesus. That's crazy. It's crazy. He said this president read his Bible every single day, and he was the one who was very influential in bringing him to Jesus. That's pretty cool. He said this president was, he was like, he was the funniest person you would have ever met. He said he would have this whole room, like, dying, laughing. Aw. It was way smarter than the media, like, portrayed him to be. Yeah. It was just interesting, like, hearing, like, a DC insider, like, talk about politics, because I was like, what is the gap between what we think that we think that we're. we know as consumers and what is like really going on.

And one of the most interesting things he said is that a lot of, he said, I'm not saying that there aren't conspiracies, but he said a lot of the things that are interpreted as conspiracy theories these days is really just incompetence on part of the government. Like the government is like really hard. It's really hard to fire people in the government. It's really difficult to find smart people to work for the government. It was really interesting. Interesting.

Did you get this as a number? Oh yeah. He comes to Dallas a lot. He really likes me. Huh. That's pretty cool. So what else did you all do? Um, so we, it was, it was on this kind of like farm. Um, we played paintball, which was, I didn't plan this. Like, they just randomly had 14 paintball guns. And, um, you don't think they're inspired by you? No. No, because the guy who owned the house, like, didn't know me and he, uh, wasn't even there. Yeah. And so he just on his own had 14 paintball guns. And so we played seven on seven paintball. That was really fun. They had this got these guys from, Maui come in. And these guys were very into the culinary arts. Also, have you said the, oh, you said the purpose of this.

Yeah, it was like a Christian men's retreat. Okay. Yeah. And so they had these like feasts. Like they were really big into like feasting. Like they were like preparing the table and like the purpose of the table. And so it was like a really cool like bonding experience over like hand cooked steaks and like, you know, like all these like cool things.

and they would like read scripture. What is the purpose of the table? I think it's like, I mean, I'm, you know, I just learned. So I can chill. It was the way that they framed it was like it was a blessing from the Lord to bring community together, to bring conversations, to bring stories together. And so it was a lot of like telling stories. Like a lot of us didn't know each other, but we were all like dads and business owners and stuff.

And so tell me if I'm wrong, but it sounded like the purpose of this retreat. it was all about manhood and like what it means to be a man these days. Like biblically? Yeah, I would say biblically. Because sometimes I feel like nowadays nobody really knows what that means. Wow.

Okay, you're going there. I know, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, I would say like basically there was a lot of conversation about there's a lot of confusion over like the definition of roles in the house, like what it means to be a dad,

like what it means to be like a man or a husband. And so there's a lot of like, you know, confusion and culture. And so it was kind of like a recalibration of like, here's what it needs to look like for us to lead and be men within our homes or like to our spouses or to our kids. And it was really great.

Yeah. Why is that controversial? I don't know. You know, people are so like I don't like what. I don't know. You say you're loose canon, but now you're scared. Yeah, that's the one like I'm not touching.

Like I'm just like Yeah Over that conversation What to be a To live like a man Yeah no I'm not like timid to live Like I'm timid to have this conversation It's just like so charged right now

No but I think you're thinking of it It's like a tangent off of this conversation But we're not saying anything about that Oh okay okay yeah Okay so speaking of men I was on a man's podcast lately.

I was on Tray Kennedy's podcast. We were. Oh, we were. That's right. So we did Tray Kennedy's podcast. Trey, we go way back, you know, with Trey. We met Trey in Los Angeles, what year was that, 2019? Yeah.

And we, it was at like another conference put on by the same guy. The same guy. Jefferson, Bethke, he's all about these events for every book he writes. He plans an event. been around and we love it. We love it. He's amazing. He's just a really good like bringer together. Yeah, he's a connector. Connector of people. Bring him. That's a better word of saying bring her together. And we went out to L.A. We met Trey. At the time we met his girlfriend with Katie. They weren't even engaged just yet. And so it's been cool. We've like stayed in touch. I talked about on the podcast how I

get one text a year from Trey Kempby. Yeah. And it's hey Danny. Hope everything's going well. Where are the girls headed this year for the fall trip? Yeah, he like always spoofs like mommy bloggers. And so he's always looking to tackle. But I'm like, Trey, like we don't do that anymore. Like that's old news. Like, you know, you got to make.

I'm at Sports Illustrated swim week, Tray. Where are you? Hilarious. You know, I will say that that was probably my favorite podcast. I mean, we've only done two. We did the East podcast. That was fun too. That one was fun.

They're a cool couple. They're cool. Yeah. I really like him a lot. But I would say Trey and Jake, they are so funny. I mean, they're just so quick. And like I feel like our energies all match. Like it was a really fun show.

No, we had a very good time. Oh, speaking of net worth, speaking of billionaires, can I tell you a story? I haven't told you this yet. Okay. So Luke calls me, when you're gone, you're coming back on Sunday. Luke, my brother. Yeah. Married to Brooke.

I'm aware. My sister's wrong. Brooke does. Oh, oops. Gosh, Jenny told me right when we filmed this like, don't open your legs because the camera. Oh, shoot. Have you just been crotch-shotting?

Wait, J.D.'s going to edit this. Okay. These shorts have like those built-in little undies. You do look naked right now. You look like you're not wearing pants. No, there. Babe, pull it down. Jeez.

You can show me, but it's not for other people. Like you go to one Sports Illustrated event and now you're this immodest. human being trying to flash the cameras. It's unreal. This is why I didn't want you to go. I said, listen,

you're not an L.A. influencer. You're not going to start throwing your boobies around. I always do anyway, though. We're a good southern, wholesome people.

We're going to protect those values. Anyway, so Bill Gates' daughter reaches out to Luke and Brooke. This is not a, how did she get? This is not a made-up story. Does she live in Dallas?

No. She goes to, Stanford. Of course. Because it was in her email. So Luke calls me and he says, dude, I don't know what to do right now. And I go, what's wrong? And he says, Bill Gates' daughter just reached out to Brooke and I. And I go, what? And the reason that Bill Gates' daughter reached out to them is that she's starting like a resell platform, I think. And that's what Brooke does. Her Instagram is resale over retail. And she basically will like go to Goodwill bins and like find good finds and resell them. And that's like her. her whole business. And I guess Bill Gates' daughter just reached out cold and was like, she's probably trying to get other resellers. And he was like, I'm confused because like, I'm not a huge fan of the Gates family. Like they're kind of like on Twitter and stuff like that. And I was like, oh, I was like, well, you should take the call. I mean, that's super interesting. So she asked for a phone call? Yeah. They're getting on a phone call with Bill Gates' daughter.

And I was like, I don't know if she'll actually be on the phone call, but the weird thing about it for me was that she gave her Stanford.edu email. And so like, why would you, she's going to be on the phone call. No, of course, of course. She wants to start her own company. Company? And of course she will. Crazy, right?

I love this story. I wonder how old she's in college. Okay, so she's younger. That's pretty cool. Yeah, right? I love that. So you're saying we're going to be friends with the gates? I don't know.

I don't know. He's kind of caught up in that whole Epstein thing. Really? Yeah. Big time. Big time. So next subject. So I do want to get into our, do we have any more life updates?

You know. What else is going on in life with you? Let me ask you this. You got some new suits lately. Yeah. Do you like them? Yeah. I want to know where you got your suits from because I feel like.

Suit supply. You love them? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It was time. I'm aware. I'm feeling real good about my suits. So for those of the other I don't know, when I met Jordan, he was probably like 25 pounds heavier, right? I feel like you. Why you got to bring that up every podcast? Because I don't bring it off every podcast number one.

I never talk about it. Yeah. But I say that because your suits, since you lost all that weight, have never fit, right? Why do you tell me? Oh my gosh. I tell you this all the time. You, I, do you know how many times Ramsey's our sister? I've been telling him, I'm like, Ramsey, this week, please make sure that Jordan goes and gets fit for fitted for a suit.

I know. Or he needs to get his own dark suit or he needs to get a tuxedo because you rent them every time too from black tux. Black tux, yeah. And they never fit you right. Like there's always something off. I know. Gosh, you're such a good wife sometimes. You know, yeah, suit supplies great.

But I do want to ask you a question just while we're on the topic of my clothes. There's, I have these white theory pants. You've been telling me they look too tight. They were, are there's the white, they're like the tan ones. The not white ones. The cream one.

They're too tight. Babe, it's really hard for me to hear that because those are literally my favorite pants. They're too tight and they're too short. And here's the thing, if you were to take away those pants from my wardrobe, you're not just taking away the pants. You're taking away six outfit combinations that are my go-tos.

Here's the thing. Why don't you just find new pants that fit you? It'll work. I've truly just never been able to. find pants like that. Okay, let me say this. How many times have you gone and shopped for pants like that? Well, they took theory out of Northport.

What do I just do? There's no other stores. No. No, Jordan, here's the real story. Let me tell you, babe. You don't like to shop. So you wear really tight pants that are too tight for you. Thanks.

You don't want to go shopping. You don't want to find new pants that fit you better. So you just wear too tight pants. Pants that I could wear, really. I'm serious. If they ever end up on my side, I'd be like, hmm. Wow. Okay.

All right. Well, let's take a moment for an ad break. Okay. So we are going to get into our series, things that make you go, hmm. But first. But first. So their first ad read. We're super excited.

Wait, wait, wait. Who's the first one? Things that make you go, hmm, is sponsored by natural cycles. So exciting. I wanted to let you all know that today. episode is brought to you by natural cycles. I've talked about natural. You can not be drinking London. I'm so sorry. I want to let you all know that today's episode is brought to you by natural cycles. I've talked about natural cycles for years, but for those of y'all who don't know about it

or have been considering using them, this is for you. Natural cycles is the company behind the only FDA cleared birth control app. It's a natural and non-invasive birth control option that allows you to go hormone-free. And if you know me, you know I cannot be unhormonal birth control. Jordan would probably agree. Period. I go a little crazy. The app is powered by a certified algorithm that learns the patterns of users' unique cycles

using body temperature and other fertility indicators to work out each daily fertility status. The app was developed by scientists and is supported by clinical evidence. take or sink your temperature in the morning using the thermometer or an aura ring, and then check your status in the app. A green day means you're not fertile and good to go. A red day means you're fertile and need to use another form of protection if preventing pregnancy. While I am currently using it to prevent pregnancy, if and when we are ready to have our third child, we will switch to the planning option.

Obviously, I have a code for y'all. You can use my code, Danny, D-A-N-I, to get 20% off. your annual subscription and free thermometer. Also, Stella loves to play with that thing. Natural Cycles is for those 18 and older, not Stella, and does not protect against STIs. Again, that's Danny, D-A-N-I for 20% off your annual subscription plus a free thermometer on Natural Cycles.com. Thank you.

And now, four things that make you go, hmm. That's good. I told you it's good. It's good. It's a good segment. It's good segment. So the first thing that you know, kind of makes this go a little, hmm, that has actually made me really lately is artificial intelligence. And I've been actually really freaked out by a specific platform, a specific thing that we've been using called Midnight. Mid Journey. Mid Journey. Yes. You guys, the freakiest thing has happened. So I guess we can talk about AI in general. But But like Jordan's a huge fan.

I'm pro. I'm pro. I get it. I get it because he's all about innovation. We all got to adapt. We got to learn. We got to, you know,

we got to change. Gotta get with it. Use AI to our, you know, benefit instead of being afraid of it. And I get it. Like, I think that's what happened with the internet.

You know, people were scared at first. And then now it's like, look, we all use it. And we've all figured out kind of how to use it. Not to say that it's not destructive. But AI to me is,

like just a different blog game. It's just too much. For example, we saw that the stock market crashed because someone using Mid Journey created a fake photo of the Pentagon basically on fire. Yeah. And then the stock market crashed.

No one knew what was real. It's wild. It took a while, I think, for them to figure out it wasn't real. Yeah, of course. Because like information. I mean, information travels fast, but like an hour with the stark market being down, Like people are like panic selling and stuff.

It's damaging. Okay. So what are your thoughts on that? I mean, don't fall for its tricks, man. We got to be smarter than machines. Okay. Here's my take.

Here's my take. Is that I think that as disinformation, are you yawning? I think that as disinformation like starts populating with AI, there's going to be like tools. that come out to say this is like an AI generated image. This is an AI generated article.

Did you hear about the college professor that flunked his whole class? So basically there was like, I think that maybe there was like one person who actually wrote the paper, but like this entire college class, I think it was at A&M. Okay. He sent out an email at like 8 a.m. in the morning. And he basically was like, everyone, I have run all of your essays through an AI like check system and I have found that like 99 of a hundred of you essentially, I'm messing at the numbers, have used chat GPT to help you write this paper in some form or fashion. So you now have a

grade of zero. If you want to rewrite this by 5 o'clock PM like we can talk essentially. That makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it. Oh my, if you're the kid? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Can you imagine you'd be like my whole futures ruin because I use this chat. GPD thing. But here's the thing. like, so like there are tools that are going to come out that are going to say this is an artificial like image. But the problem that I have is like real images like let's say you messed up and you were flipping the bird to someone in their car and they took a picture of Danny.

I'll just be like, no, it wasn't me. It was AI. See, that's the problem is that like you could just blame anything on. It's like what's happening now. Everything is like quote unquote misinformation, even the truth. Right. So everyone can kind of just like throw. Why does that not scare you?

I mean, I just feel like we're going to adapt. Like, I'm a very, like, glass half full when it comes to humanity and, like, humans. That is still not true. What do you mean? You're always scared. Yeah, but I think that, like, overall, we, like, figure it out and we adapt. Yeah, I'm hoping so. But there's, like, dark seasons where I'm like, oh, I don't know how we're going to get out of this one.

So going back to Mid Journey, this was the craziest experience. So we had to pay, like, a service to use this thing, right? Oh, yeah. Like, I pay, oh, my gosh. our credit card bill is like all AI tools right now. Yeah, I don't want to know. That makes me sick. And so we used Mid Journey to basically create photos of me.

Yeah. So, well, that was a different software. But basically Mid Journey, you can go into the platform. It's on Discord, which is like a server. I don't really understand what Discord is. But anyway, you go, you say slash imagine. Okay. And the more descriptive you are about like what you want to see,

the more intricate. So like I think we were playing with it and I was like a photorealistic rendering of Marilyn Monroe like in New York City. With aliens attacking. With aliens attacking and shot on a cannon DSLR. DSLR type of thing

with this lens and it just spit out that exact image. And so the art that Mid Journey is producing is insane. The art, right. I mean, if you want to call it that. I mean, like, artists don't call it art. They're just like, this is the devil. It's fraudulent. Yeah.

So then what is the platform you all were using to make the pictures of me? Yeah, there's like this new one called Runway. And basically what you can do is like I could send a bunch of selfies of Danny in and it's called like a model. And so like you basically give 15 to 20 images of Danny to this software and it will train the model. and like understand her face. So then I can say put Danny in New York City like on top of the Empire State building and it will have a rendering of her.

But it doesn't work that well yet. No, it's not that great, but no, like it definitely does work. It was pretty creepy. There were like three or four in there that work. That were good. But they looked more like paintings,

not photo. Yeah. See, that's the problem. It's like the technology is like kind of there, but not really. So you're pro-AI. I'm pro-AI. Chad GBT.

I think we have another segment later so I won't. botch it, but we're going to do our Google history versus like my chat GPT history, but like it has taught me so much. Yeah. Interesting. I love it. I absolutely love it. What are other ways that we can be using it? I mean, I know customer support is like a big one. So like I feel like I've gotten so much tax advice and like legal advice from chat GPT, which I know like Accountants and lawyers. It's not like. Yeah. Yeah, it's not going to replace an attorney. It's not going to place an attorney. It's not going to place an. accountant, but like it's like the small silly questions. Like I can just ask, hey, what's the law or like, what's the regulation on this? And it's taught me so much. That's cool. So. Yeah. So I mean, to me, it makes me go, hmm, you know. Something else that made me go hum about it is we actually used it for

my mother's day reel. Did I tell you? No. So it was like right when we were all like trying to figure it out. And we were like, chat, DBT, like give us an idea for a really, um, like sentimental, um, viral, mother's day reel. Uh-huh. And it was like,

re-create a picture from your past with your mom. And so we did. How many views did it get? Let me see. I mean, it did pretty well, but like we changed up a little bit. We kind of used like that kind of used it as like the basis.

The bases and then we kind of built off of it. It's kind of a lower performing reel. Yeah. Well, it doesn't know everything. Can't replace you. The real geniuses. Right here.

Help him. Up in Danny's brain. Money can't buy this. So things that make me go, hmm, is audience capture. You remember we talked about this? I recall. Tell me about it. So audience capture, I think it's a really, this is why the podcast, I think is really

therapeutic for both of us. Yeah. Audience capture is basically when you are like an entertainer or you have any type of audience. You could be a writer. Comedian. Comedian, anything. And audience capture is when you stop being yourself because you just start becoming a sort of robotic for what the feedback loop wants. So, like, example of this would be Danny is, I started following Danny in 2019 when she was like a fashion blogger taking photos. Now she's not a fashion blogger. She's like Divi's person, so I don't like her anymore. But it would be like Danny not continuing to grow and not continuing to evolve as a human.

And just trying to be a fashion blogger because that's what people love. Because that's the box you're stuck in. Or Danny not going to Sports Illustrated, you know, event this past weekend because Danny's scared that the audience won't like it. So you're living for the audience. You're evolving for the audience. You're evolving for other people and not for yourself, which I definitely have like 100% been caught in that like loop before.

No, I think this is really interesting to like share with people who are listening is that it's probably hard to understand if you're not like in the industry or have a platform, but it is so, like, there are so many conversations that happen either between Danny and I or sitting around the table where it's less about like what we, and sometimes, sometimes. Like, I feel like we always end up going with what we're called to do, but like not even about what we're called to do or what we feel like is right for each other or our family sometimes. It's like, well, we have to factor in what like the perception of this is going to be. And so I think that this podcast has been very therapeutic to just kind of like fight that.

Because I think if you fight it, then, you know, you're able to kind of continue to kind of like go on the purpose that like God has for you. And that might be totally different than where you were before. It's like you not wanting to talk about like men in manhood. Yeah, that's different. That's not like audience capture. That's like like cultural capture. That's just like a whole society that's captured and obsessed with gender right now. No, I agree. But like it's still kind of the same thing. It's it's changing the conversation of like what you want. want to say because of feedback, like a feedback loop. So the one thing that I told myself, I was like, if I go to the Sports Illustrated thing, I'm not going to read my comments and I'm not going to read my DMs the entire time. I'm there, which you guys know, I love to be in my DMs. I love to be in my comments. And typically I can handle it. But I was like, I'm going to an event. I'm going to be away from my husband, away from my family. Like, my mental health is not going to be able to take this if people are attacking me and like making assumptions off of like something, you know. And so I just

didn't look at it. And I was like, anytime that I did anything, I was like, I'm not going to worry about the audience. I'm just going to like live and do what Danny feels is right in this moment. Like going to this event, like felt right. Like, and without people, like, assuming that I support this or I do that or I do that, like, I knew where my heart was at. I'm like, I'm going to go. Yeah. And I want to be with my girls and I want to go. And so that was like one of those things where I just felt like sometimes when you cut off the feedback, then you have more of the opportunity me and the clarity to make decisions that help you evolve. And like, that doesn't mean that every decision is going to be the right one. But like, how are we supposed to learn if we're not

sometimes making mistakes and trying new things? And like if you're caught in audience capture, like, you can't change. You can't evolve because people want you to stay exactly where you were when they found you. Right. Now, I think that like the first, I say that I'm in my loose cannon era. And it's like kind of a joke, but it's like also serious. Like I feel like the first, first six months of this year were like really kind of hard for me personally because I just felt like, you know, so much had changed the two years prior and I felt like we were in this like loop, you know, and I don't know, I just, I wanted to break free and just be more of like ourselves. And I think that this like podcast had so much to do with us being free from audience

capture. So it makes me go, hmm, what makes you? So we're learning how to transition this thing. Something that makes me go, is Taylor Swift and Matt Healy, Maddie Healy. Gag, I don't even care. Wait, what? How do you not care?

I just like, don't care. This guy is like, I don't know if he's a good influence. I don't know who he is. He's from the 1975. He drinks a whole bottle of wine on stage. He gets like drunk and mixed out with a girl on stage every night of his concert. Yeah, clear red flag.

What are we talking about? Conversation over. Hmm, I'm very confused. What is she doing? She's in her rebrand. You think that's what it is? Yeah, 100%. She probably got hurt by Joe.

You think? Yeah, because all of her friends unfollowed Joe. Yeah. So he probably did some. Well, okay, here's my... I say I don't care. Not you do.

But let me see. Like, I get facts from you. So my thinking is that Joe probably didn't do something extremely bad. Yeah. But she, because she's Taylor Swift, spun it in a way that like totally victimized herself and ruined his reputation.

Well, she's not saying what it was just yet. Okay, she's probably saving it for like a song. All we know is that Joe is like devastated. She makes more money if she doesn't say it because then everyone's going to buy her next album like knowing it's about Joe. She's all about the money. I think that she is all about the fame. Okay.

I think she is like she knows what she's good at and it's marketing. And I think that she knows exactly how to feed the beast. that is her audience. Yeah, but we just want to be fed. I know. So she's like, I'm not going to say what Joe did because the mystery of it is more powerful

for my next album. But wouldn't you think that if she was that calculated, it would be a better look for her to like not just rebound really fast and not just switch, like literally go from Joe to this. Of course, we don't know when she broke up with Joe. It could have been like,

they could have been on the rocks the past six months. You know, and they just... I think that her not sharing what happened with Joe is a strategic decision. I think her doing this Matt Healy thing is like a personal decision. Like she's actually rebounding with this guy.

But she's making it very public. Like she's going out to public places with him. Like trying to be photographed. Why? I think she's probably hurt by Joe. Wouldn't you do that? Yeah, she's trying to flaunt it. Yeah, she's flonting it.

Like that's what everyone does. She's trying to make him jealous. Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right. I would totally do that. I know and like I would have no following whatsoever to like defend myself and I would just be like if you oh my gosh I'd be crushed I would be absolutely devastated don't do that oh my gosh horrible I'm just kidding we're we're lifers um so that makes me go hmm hmm yeah should we do one more yeah you choose it are we are am i losing you no do you seem do I seem like you're losing

Yeah, do you want some uptime? No, I'm good. Do you want some aminoline? Give me one sip. Give me one hit. The stuff gives me a heart attack. I didn't really have like... Just think Alex Earle on Ibiza.

I need that energy. Just think Alex Earl and Ibiza. Oh, that was like three. Ugh. Yeah, it's pretty rough. Took that like a champ. Knows where this is manufactured. Oh, it's a trusted brand.

Yeah, sure. Have you been watching anything new on TV? No. Okay. Oh, we started our saga of watching the top 50 Korean films. Can we not talk about this? You did. I fell asleep every night.

We'll talk about it later. It's very boring. And they all have subtitles. It was amazing. When I'm exhausted, like, I don't want to be reading subtitles. Unless it's that movie parasite that was so phenomenal. It was the same director. Really?

Yes. That movie is so good. So I've been watching something that you might actually think is interesting is, so you know Connor McGregor? Yeah. What? UFC guy. Yeah. He has his own TV show now where they follow him around and they like they follow him as he's training and getting ready for these these, I wanted to say races, these fights.

And it is wild. Oh, I bet it is. First of all, I didn't know he was like such a wild man. Like, you know how sometimes I feel like it's all a show? Because you know that those, I don't know, I can't figure it out because, you know, like when Mayweather and McGregor, like these fighters are fighting, they get paid millions and millions and millions of dollars. Yeah.

Whether they win or lose, right? But they're selling the fight. Right. Right. That's what I'm saying. So they're getting paid millions of dollars, right? Whether they win or lose. Do you win more if you win?

Win? I think you do. Like a little bit probably more. I think a little bit more. But no matter what, you're getting paid millions. Right. So they're like, you know, I always thought that they were putting on the show like, oh, I hate him and we're going to fight. And like, let me get up in his face.

But after watching the show, I was like, oh, it's kind of real, I think. Like, he, like, went too far. Well. He went to, like, jail or something for throwing chairs at this guy's bust. I think that maybe he's just addicted to the character that people like audience capture. Like, he probably is like, that's why people fell in love with them. That's what set him apart. I know that Dana White, who's the founder of UFC or president of UFC, he loved Connor because

they sold fights like never before. He did so much for UFC, I think. And if there's like hardcore UFC advocates, I might be speaking on a turn here. But I know that like Connor was like their prize possession. And so he probably just like got that feedback loop and was like, I got to keep escalating it. Same thing with like Logan Paul. Remember when he was pushing the boundaries, then he pushed it up to that Japanese forest thing? It's like you just get. caught up in the loop and trying to like yeah but i would think that the reality show would have showed a different side of him no it did like i mean he works really hard yeah and the show did show like him at home with his son and his wife and his wife is so sweet their life seems like pretty normal yeah

and he seems like he could be kind of like a little teddy bear but i'm sure when he was like producing this show he was like do not show do not make me look like a certain way because they still made him seem like pretty bad hey really like even in like the mundane I was like, oh, you do not want to mess with him. Like, he's scary. No, he's scrappy. Wasn't he like a plumber before? Mm-hmm.

That's crazy. He's a plumber. So that was really interesting. I watched that show. I watched the reality TV show about, not reality, the documentary on Anna Nicole Smith. That was really sad. Was she a gorgeous?

Model or? Model kind of like gives like Madonna vibes. Grew up in Mejia, Texas. Like population like 4,000. Long story short, she, you know, allegedly had this like really tough childhood. And then married a billionaire who's like, who was like, I think he was like 90 years old, 86 years old.

Oh my yeah. And he's like, and they apparently like really loved each other. But then she got addicted to drugs and went down a really bad path. Then her son passed away from like a drug overdose. So sad. And then she passed away from a drug overdose. And it was just like, it was really, really sad. to see like this really beautiful person that like made it out of like nothing.

But the craziest thing at the end of the story was apparently like she allegedly like said that, you know, her childhood was so hard. Her mom was very abusive, raped her, attacked her, all these things. And then all of her siblings came forth and her mom came forth and were like, none of that was true. Oh, no. She made up stories about everything. Like she apparently fabricated a lot of stories to get like attention.

Oh, no. Kind of crazy. What was she famous for? Just like being a model. Playboy, I think. Okay, that's what I thought I was like, wasn't she like that? Yeah, so I don't know because this was like the year I was born. You know, so I don't really know that I just know from watching the show.

But yeah, yeah, she like rose to fame from I think like making the cover of Playboy. Oh, and she was like the face of guest jeans. But she was just like a beautiful model. Yeah. Gosh. Yeah. So don't do drugs, people. Don't do drugs.

Just don't do them. Just don't do them. Okay, so to end this, oh, let me go. To end this podcast, I want to go into one more segment where we both de-influence something. Oh. Yeah. Okay.

But before we do, dun dun, don't, don. This episode is also brought to you by Pura. We have a collection of Pira's in our house, and it's my go-to gift for other people. I actually just recently gave it to Tornado and Tammy for Mother's Day. But truly, is there anything better than Writers'Ey? walking into a home that smells good.

We have Pira's in almost every single room of our house, and it is so necessary with two babies and two dogs that have pee all over our house. Do you see that Hazel threw up this morning? I did. I saw it like right before I had to leave it for you. I was in a rush. I'm aware. Pira is a smart fragrance diffuser where you can personalize every detail of your home

scenting experience from your phone. You can use the app to have the scent running all day on a schedule or set it to off mode when out of town. I love having it on a schedule so I never have to think about it. One of my favorite things about it is all of the amazing scents they offer. Pira partners with some of the top perfumers and luxury fragrance brands from around the world on their scents like Capri Blue, Anthropology, Nest, New York, Disney, and so many more. They are giving my listeners early access to shop their Memorial Day Sale.

You can use my code, Danny 25, for 25% off diffusers, home fragrances and home fragrance subscriptions. They recently just launched car diffusers as well if you want to check that out. Such a game changer. That's Danny 25 for 25% off home products. Thanks to Pira for sponsoring today's episode. Now to get into de-influencing, I want you to start first. What is something you want to de-influence these days?

Google Search. Oh, perfect. You know what would be fun on this segment is if I de-influence Google Search and you de-influence chat GPT. Okay, so. And we should share our history. Let's switch funds. That's a good idea.

Okay, you like it? Okay, like, don't read, I mean, use your discretion because I asked chat GPT some wild stuff. Like what? Should we read each others? You read yours, I'm going to read mine. No, I'll read yours. I'm going to summarize it better. It doesn't show you like the topic.

Let me see. Okay. Okay. Let me just read a couple. I want to talk about my own history. I will let you talk about, but let me just bring it up. Hold on. Jordan's chat, GPT history. It sucks because I literally just deleted a bunch of the best questions.

Exorcism demand on the rise. No, no, no, that was a question where I wanted to know why the Catholic Church has so many more exorcists than the Protestant Church. Why is it? So the Catholic Church has way more experience with exorcism than the Protestant Church. That makes sense. Yeah, like the history of it. everything. But there's only 150 exorcists in the United States. So really what you're saying is there's more demon possessed Protestants than Catholics. No. Demon, like if you're a Protestant,

you typically, like Protestant pastors will point you to a, like a Catholic. The thing about it, then there's more demon possessed Protestants because we're not getting enough exorcisms. No, that's what I'm, you're missing is that like a Protestant pastor will be like, hey, I don't have experience doing this. Like you need to go to this Catholic priest. Yeah. It's like a partnership, an ally. Yeah.

That's nice. Jewish rituals and reflections. Yeah. And then read the next one. Mormon initiation rituals. Yes. Let me like give me some color on this one. Please do.

So, okay. The, um, I feel like Mormons and Jewish people do family traditions and rituals very well. Like they have really strong family bonds. Don't you agree? 100%. You went to a bunch of bar mitzvahs. Yeah, I mean, all my friends bring up are Jewish. I just feel like the family unit with like the extended family,

like the Jewish community and the Mormon community. They take care of each other. It's like a really tight-knit community. They look out for each other in a way that I feel like sometimes like the modern day church doesn't. No, totally. Like I feel like I've never met a lazy Mormon. Yeah, I mean. An ill-equipped like four days.

adulthood Mormon, have you? No, honestly. They're great mothers. They're great fathers. They're great business people. I think a lot of faith, I was talking to JD about this. A lot of Christians these days take what they learn and look inward. They're all about, you know, working on themselves and working on, you know, it's all

about self-improvement. And it's not so much about, you know, taking what you learn and like loving other people and like teaching other people and bringing other people to the church. It's more like take what you learn. reflect it on just you. Yeah. It's inward, not outward. So like basically I was asking the real project, and I'm not ready to share this yet,

it's not fully baked, but the real project was I'm trying to, so what they do very well is like, okay, when you're three in the Jewish culture, you have like a, like a, I don't know if it's a party or a ritual that like transitions you from babyhood to childhood. So at like three, you're already kind of like teaching your kids like here's like the purpose of the next chapter. At eight, both communities, like, basically acknowledge that, like, your kids can know the difference between right and wrong. So the Mormon community, I'm going to butcher this, but, like, they have, like, a ceremony at the church where it's like, hey, like,

this is your next step. They start giving responsibility and say, hey, here's how you're going to serve the church and stuff. At 13, Bar mitzvah. At 12, the Mormon church does it and, like, gives you, like, different roles within the church. And then at 18, Mormons go on mission for two years, like transition into adulthood. I think you can't like call your family. You have to write letters and stuff like that. And so it's like here's your transition into manhood or adulthood. And so I'm like, I asked chat GPT to help me.

I said, do you want to hear my prompt? Yeah. I'm getting really good at prompting. Yeah. So I said as a parent within a, trying to figure out how to phrase this. As a parent, I'm just going to say it because this is what I was trying to accomplish because like a lot of these like the only. like the only people outside of like Jewish and Mormon cultures are like the Rockefellers.

Like they have like very long lineage and historical traditions. So I said as a parent within an elite family dynasty within the with the mission statement of serve Christ and serve others, I propose. Oh, sorry, this isn't my prompt. Who is it? Well, I said basically I didn't write down what my prompt was, but my prompt was basically like as a parent with an elite, family dynasty with a mission statement of serve Christ and serve others, propose like rituals for kids like growing up through these ages. And so it spit me out like age five,

presentation of the family Bible. Isn't that so cool? That's cute. Age 12, the journey to Jerusalem, like taking your kids to Jerusalem and like teaching them about Jesus. Age 15, a summer of service where we like take our kids on mission trips. Cute, I love that. Age 16, the legacy lecture where you bring

and like your grandparents and like they teach them about like the family history and stuff like that. So I'm working on this. It's not done yet, but I'm creating like I'm getting inspiration from the Mormon church and Jewish communities to build our own for our family. It's it's crazy to hear you say that because you were someone that always hated like celebrations, initiations, graduations, presentations. I know. Presentations. But I think it's so important for our kids to like understand how they want to develop. in the world.

And like to to teach them, I think that what's most important, especially like with the way that like culture is like pushing things on us right now is I think it's important to teach our kids that like life isn't about them. And there's like a greater purpose beyond them because I think that that's like why, I think that's why we're all depressed. It's like we're looking inward. Right.

That was one thing. I had a friend growing up that was on the wealthier side and they did like a lot of vacations, a lot of trips like I think in my childhood I took like two vacations with my parents and it was like we do like one a summer like cancun you know yeah and um but they went on some pretty extravagant trips and the only way they would go on an extravagant trip with their family is if they also did like a week of like service while they were there too which is cool because then you're like also seeing beautiful places spending time together doing something really neat finding purpose but then it's like you work really hard but then you get to play it really hard too yeah and you find like purpose all over

the world because I think for me when I did my trip to Africa when I did that I'm not going to say I loved it like it was the hardest thing I've ever done and like I truly don't ever want to go back so speaking of exercise you went to Tanzania which is no I went to Zanzibar which is an island off the coast of Tanzania but yeah no Mormon extreme Mormon oh my god Muslim extremists had gone gone through the village that we were staying at the week before we got there and burnt down all the churches. So when I got there, it was really scary. They were like, you're going to stay in this Catholic convent. Like, you cannot leave these walls. It's so dangerous. Like, it was terrifying. And they didn't even have a way to communicate that to us until we got there because they didn't

have like phones or anything. Oh my gosh. So got there and I'm like, hey dad. So just say you know. He's like, where are you? What are you doing? But I feel like that was like the first time that I realized that there was, first of all, like a world, like you were saying, traveling and like, you know, showing your kids the holy land, like, all this stuff. Like, it's the first time that I realized, like, the world is so much bigger than just, like, my little bubble that I grow up in. And there is so much more purpose outside of, like, just me trying to fulfill myself in this little bubble. You almost feel, like, kind of silly whenever you go to, like, a different country like that. And you look back at, like, Dallas, Texas and, like, the little, you know, what you get worried about,

what you stress about. Yeah. You feel so stupid. So it's a really good, I think it's really good to, like, introduce, you know, things like that to your kids when they're younger. So they don't have to, like, struggle with all these stupid, you know, things their entire life. Well, especially, like, I mean, not especially our kids, but I think that, like, our kids in particular where it's like we have this, like, Instagram thing. And it's like, you know, people, I don't know where we'll be when Stella gets, like, older or anything, you know, probably totally irrelevant. But like, you know, I think that if it's very important to train our kids in particular to be like, hey, like, this isn't about you. Because like technically our industry is to make it about us.

You know, it's like, you know, to a certain extent. Yeah, I mean, we'll see. And it would be really neat if like we could ever pass this whole thing on to our kids. But who knows what they're going to want to be doing? Who knows? They'll probably be like all up in AI. Strand just type in into mid-journey It's like I'm an artist mom

Stop it mom he wouldn't get it Let me read your Google searches An AI What do you've been up to these days? Let's see Can I read them? Yeah I don't think there's anything Just kind of scare

because I had to remind myself of the plot because I read it so long ago so I like reread the plot this morning. Got it. Monday afternoon last night I was looking up like one of the startups that does lab Labgrown diamonds.

Because they, because I was thinking, like, if I ever want to get my diamond redone, I think I would do a lab grown diamond. Yeah. What's the, I wonder what the cultural climate on lab grown is. They're more sustainable. They're more sustainable. And isn't like the diamond business like pretty like cutthroat nasty? Yeah. And they don't appreciate really.

Like mining diamonds is like like bad news. Oh, and then I did nippies. Those are like nipple covers. I wasn't looking up in. Nipis are nith. Again, this SI Swim Week has just totally changed you. It's those nippies, like the ones that, the B6 ones. I was looking up Danny Austin Sports Illustrated, Googled myself.

It's the weirdest thing, but only my left armpit. You might have a problem. I know. It's only when I use native. though. I also was looking up a new Nike dunk low that launched today or yesterday that is like truly like divvy green, the darker divvy green. Can you get me some new nikes? Yeah. I accidentally play paintball on them. Why do you do that every time? No, I know this is like it's just they've never recovered after the first time I did it. Um, I looked up a life coach Katie Sandler. Really?
