Starting point is 00:00:00 And now, it's terrible for girls. No shit. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that? No shit. I think everything's okay. Your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Unless your neighbor's trying to take some stuff down. They're everywhere.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. They're everywhere. You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Rad, Radcast. Rad, Rad, Radcast.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It is Friday, October 8th, 2021. As we blow through October in a hurry. What's up, Sean? Welcome to the show. Thank you. What's going on? How are you? How was your week? It's been a great week. Yeah. Really good week. Busy.
Starting point is 00:01:24 A lot of new people, new clients, new energy. We got some caviar in this morning from a new client. Oh, wow. New potential client. Okay. They're courting us. They're sending you presents. They're sending us goods.
Starting point is 00:01:37 They make caviar. They're actually Kolokoff Caviar. Kolokoff. Kolokoff. Beautiful. Yes, and they make it. It's like the best caviar in the U.S. And no, they're in freaking L.A. Kolokoff. Kolokoff. Beautiful. Yes, and they make it. It's like the best caviar in the U.S. And no, they're in freaking L.A.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Oh. Yeah. Did you have some? I have not. It's in the refrigerator for happy hour today. Okay. A little beers and caviar. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I feel like I need to go get some champagne or something. Yeah, I was going to say, is beer and caviar, is that like how you're supposed to, or is it supposed to be champagne and caviar? Some Budweiser and caviar? Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen. But no, it's been a great week. How about you? Did you have a good week?
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah, yeah, it's been busy. Yeah? Yeah. Bunch of sketches. Any highlights of the week? We have a new sketch coming out this weekend, and then we're filming, getting ready for another sketch this weekend. Nice. Which is awesome, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:26 That's cool. And then after that, I plan on taking a couple days and going surfing. Nice. Yeah. Where are you going? Wilmington. Oh, sweet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Okay. Going to go there. It'd have been a good week for surfing, maybe. I mean, I don't know. Sands the lightning. Yeah. But it's been rainy all week here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:43 No, they've had some surf down there. Yeah. That's cool we've had a good week on the podcast Tyler Rich episode released this week he had a number one song on the country music charts congratulations better than you're used to so
Starting point is 00:02:57 we recorded them like four weeks ago and Tyler was awesome and then his song goes number one the week we released the podcast so uh good luck charm i think it is yeah and oh he's our good luck charm i think our numbers went through the roof okay suddenly more people want to listen to it yeah but his people were awesome i can't give them enough credit they shared a lot of the content that all works together people when you come on the show and you share the content we share the content it boosts all the numbers everybody wins folks you know it's there's a method to the madness yeah the the people
Starting point is 00:03:30 that you bring on do you ever have someone that you just don't click with and it's just like um possibly there's definitely better there's more energy or more uh i don't know the right word i i don't there's not been anyone that it's called south i think i'm look i've done this for even before the radcast i've done podcasts and interviewing for eight years i'm not saying i'm pro but i'm i know how to do this i know how to keep it topical and no matter even if they're like someone i'm jiving with nearly everything they're saying i feel like i can keep it on the up and up and keep it interesting.
Starting point is 00:04:08 So I don't know. I can't think of one that went awkward. And we do these in one take. That's some of these podcasts. I hear about all this editing they do, but Nick Weaver, our producer, one-take production, everything's crisp, clear, everything. And even with the guests i mean like unless we've had like an a uh technical issue or something we're like one take yeah so
Starting point is 00:04:33 it's not edited around to make it look like it's all fluid yeah conversations yeah yeah that's what i try to do is i try to make it a conversation less than an interview even though naturally i'm asking the questions i'm guiding it but no it's been good the uh next week dr mike bayers releasing is dr mike anyone that watches uh dr phil um he's he came on a few weeks ago really cool guy really great story and um he does a lot of uh you know he doesn't and i give him credit he doesn't want to like rest on you know the uh the counselor to the stars he he does not call himself that but he's very much like if you remember demi lovato went through a lot of stuff and she stayed at his house for a week like when she's going through the struggles she went through but
Starting point is 00:05:22 he opens a lot of uh treatment centers for uh you know addiction and things like that so he's had a story himself he went through that when he was younger told that whole story super transparent but is it mostly addiction or is it like mental health issues as well because demi lovato wasn't it wasn't like a drug addiction right wasn't it more of like a mental breakdown i think it was mainly mental i mean she may it may have been you know some alcohol dependency or something i don't know all of it mental breakdown? I think it was mainly mental. It may have been some alcohol dependency or something. I don't know all of it, so I don't want to speculate. I just know it was a lot of breakdowns with the pressures of being a young star,
Starting point is 00:05:53 which I can't even relate to with how big these guys get at such a young age. So he helped her through that and then done a lot of other treatment for big names, stars, actors, rock stars, things like that. But now he's really focused on his practices and more everyday stuff. You know, he doesn't want and prefers not to really work with celebrities anymore just because of the stigma. And quite frankly, they're pretty difficult. Yeah, I can only imagine. But he was cool.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Really great. Look forward to that episode launching Tuesday. So be on the lookout for that. And then it's coming soon, but we had to kind of pull something out from an episode that's be launching in a few weeks. A guy I think you know pretty well. He did this little thing. I mean, you may have heard of it.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And now it's time for the Radcast with Ryan Alford. Bucket list. Ricky Martin. Bruce Buffer, my friends. Yeah, that is awesome. The voice of the octagon. Yeah, he's a legend. Legend.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Cool guy. Cool as shit, dude. Like, so cool cool so authentic uh probably the best marketer we've had on the show yeah i mean talk about interchanging his products throughout the episode really was he plugging a lot he was but he wasn't over the he was very soft-handed but very good i'm like this is what you're supposed to do yeah like you know you just plugged it in i didn't even realize you plugged in your product yes but uh he did that nice little intro for us we might we might use that a few times i think i would use that every single time i might do that as my intro when i come home from work yeah that'd be my ringtone i'm gonna have it
Starting point is 00:07:38 with the bluetooth speaker like every time i walk home and so my kids are like they don't know what it is they don't watch ufc yet they're too young but I bet he's got crazy stories good stories uh I mean it's such a unique time because like you have Joe Rogan you have Bruce Buffer I mean the Dana White and the Furtado brothers we were alive during the you know the explosion of the UFC which changed the whole martial arts world and you still have these guys that were there from the beginning. And you were telling me, you know, before we started recording, it was two or three years of him pretty much donating his time. Joe Rogan has the same story.
Starting point is 00:08:16 So I can only imagine. They saw it. They saw, and especially once Dana White got involved, but they could see the future of it, the rawness of it. But they saw it it and kudos to them for for staying on board you know he's had opportunities and i asked him some tough questions and he was very direct about it you know has he ever thought about you know changing doing things you know or had offers he's like yeah but he's loyal and it's paid off for him
Starting point is 00:08:37 because he's he's pivoted into a lot of other businesses yeah punching punchers chance he's got a liquor out i think it was was a whiskey or a bourbon. I know I'm beating that up, so I'm sorry, Bruce. But either way, it's called Puncher's Chance. You Google it, you'll find it. And then he's got It's Time energy drinks coming. So I'm pretty pumped about that, seeing how the energy drink junkie I am. I'm going to try both of them.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I know. So moving on to some social holidays. We have a few this week. And most of them are pretty serious, so we're going to try not to make any jokes. Just read over them. Read over them. Especially this first one, the 10th, coming up on, I guess that would be Monday or Sunday? Sunday is World Mental Health Day.
Starting point is 00:09:25 There's a lot of – this has become, you know, with like Simone Biles, like the gymnasts, like even Phelps and others have come out with a lot of – you know, the athletes have made this more mainstream. It's a serious thing, and I think the stigma is kind of going away a bit. We joke about things like this. But in all seriousness, it a bit uh we joke about things like this but in all seriousness it's nothing to it's to really joke about when people have mental issues beyond like my own limitations in life you know but like real truthful like demons or depression or all those things so
Starting point is 00:09:58 especially as of recently i mean life is fucking difficult the last few years. It is. That's what I'm saying. It's like you started to have this light being shined on in any way, I think, before the pandemic. And then the pandemic comes and it's like, I don't know what the increase is, but it's got to be like another 25% of people dealing with it, not more. It's creating issues within people that never even knew were there. You force people home, and for good, bad, or indifferent, no matter how I feel about that, but you lock people home and for good bad or different no
Starting point is 00:10:25 matter how i feel about that but you lock people into their houses you know for 80 of the time and if they already had any sort of mental condition it just it has to exacerbate it oh yeah and then you start you know drinking at night and yeah you're you know you're stuck around the same people all day every day you don't get any space or freedom. I mean, that would drive me nuts. Yeah. So the 10th is World Mental Health Day. If you have struggles out there, you need to find some help. The 11th, Monday, is National Coming Out Day.
Starting point is 00:10:57 You know, I'm not being gay. I can't relate to it, but I don't judge it. I can say this, though. That would be a difficult thing to do oh yeah i mean like even as open as the society has gotten and i have friends that are gay and they've talked about this uh dr mike even talked about this um it there's still like god that gigantic speed bump of like knowing and the doubt and like all the i just i can't even relate yeah i mean because you don't the average like we have we everyone goes through struggles everyone has these things but you and i and others that aren't gay like we don't have to make a proclamation that just, like, changes your entire life.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah. Yeah, it changed your whole, probably changed a lot of your friends and how your family looks, you know, unfortunately. Yep. I don't know. So I can't relate, but I respect people for making decisions
Starting point is 00:12:01 that are difficult. And then the same day, there's three holidays on the 11th, International Day of the Girl. I'm going to just plead the fifth year or the first or the second. Whatever I'm pleading is I really don't have a fucking clue what that means. I don't know if it's celebrating girls. I don't know if it's, you know, I'm assuming it is Day of the Girl.
Starting point is 00:12:23 That seems to be. Are we supposed to dress like a girl for the day? Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Those are usually my Saturdays. Yes. Yeah, those are.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'm using Monday. That's when I wear my lipstick. You're wearing eyeshadow right now? I am for the show. Looks good. Yeah. Nick's become multi-talented. He powders my nose for me.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Also the 11th, Indigenous Peoples Day. So celebrate. I mean. I would like to apologize to everyone who. I know, like, we owe them a debt of gratitude. We owe them a lot. All Indigenous people. We do owe them a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And, you know, a sensitive topic every one of these holidays are but hey we're gonna tap if it's radical we cover it and these some of these are radical and uh so if it's one of your days and you're going through it hats off to you my friends moving on this is a little into a little lighter fare it's probably that was one of the heaviest social holidays we've had but yeah that's that's it. October's a heavy month. It is. Shit's got to lighten up. Felt the weight of the world there.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Where's fucking National Taco Day? Yeah, I don't know. So, this is trending as of literally yesterday on TikTok. I'm going to condense the story as much as i can but a guy in a lamborghini gets hit in the back by a girl driving a toyota and he gets out and he's filming it which
Starting point is 00:13:54 a lot of people do this now i think to just capture like just to cya a little bit in bad moments or whatever so he's filming it and she goes oh my god you hit the front of my car hit the back of his lamborghini smashed in and the front of her toyota smashed in and she's deadpan serious how creative of her how yeah that's a creative way to get out of shit i guess yeah uh luckily uh there was a ctv camera across the street that captured the whole thing as well but it's trending on tiktok the video that he took of her deadpanning. He kind of chuckles. I don't know how he drove a Lambo and he's chuckling about it. But I guess he was so surprised at her response.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And this was on a road, right? Yeah, like a main highway in California, I think. Not driving backwards down the highway. Yeah, driving backwards on LA Street. No, not happening. And I don't know if he was in LA but he was somewhere mainstream yeah the ctv camera right across the street and uh so she was deadpan and everybody's you know eating up the comments you know like how funny it is because she's probably stoked she's famous now yeah maybe and I'm like the whole time I'm reading about this, and I caught a little bit on TikTok,
Starting point is 00:15:07 but I'm thinking, was this all planned? Just to get 5 billion views on TikTok. That's a really cool t-shirt. For him and her. You're like, yeah, Lambo, $500,000 car maybe, and it's all jacked up. What would it be worth? But you can sell a lot of T-shirts or something.
Starting point is 00:15:25 There's a lot. You might could make up for that if it was planned. I'd buy that shirt. Yeah. Why'd you hit the front of my car, dude? Brilliant. Anyway, on the lighter side. It's marketing.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Yes. A little hats off to them. So we talked before. I don't know why some of these topics seem to repeat themselves. Joey and I always end up talking about techies and nerds and you and i seem to get down the lego where these they always seem to hit yeah the week of uh a 9090 piece titanic is now the largest lego model ever released 9 000 pieces that's a lot that's a lot that's heavy very heavy yeah it's like a wingspan six feet wide i think that's incredible so uh i'm just happy that legos are still a thing i think
Starting point is 00:16:14 there should be a contest for this if i was lego this is what i would do there's like 600 bucks too by the way so if i'm lego if you're out there's a free idea how long you do like a branded event and you get 10 teams and who can put it together the fastest that'd be a good drinking game yeah well you know speaking of that I was going to buy one for my kids
Starting point is 00:16:40 and I had to put together and it involved me how many beers could I drink watching them put it together? You wake up the next morning. I'm like beer cans are all around me. I'm like, they're still working bleary eyed in the morning. Like,
Starting point is 00:16:54 how's it going kids? They're like, Oh dad, I thought you were going to help. I was helping. He's giving emotional support. I think I'd start out helping and then start drinking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I mean, a 9,000-piece Lego model, I mean, that would take days, weeks. Oh, yeah. Weeks. I mean, if you had multiple people working together. But then I don't know how you get ahead. Because always with the book, you can't really get get ahead it's like one page at a time yeah how do you get ahead like you give half the like it gets wonky if you have to stay in order so maybe they make it to where you can work in teams i don't know we'll see just as soon as i open it Why'd I spend $650 on this? I'd be like, oh.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Okay. So interesting. So this is an interesting one. So I have four boys, and two of them don't give two shits about what they wear. And they're all under the age of 12. I guess under the age of 13. We have a 12, a 10, a 9, and a 5. And two of them don't care what they wear whatsoever, and the two of them do.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And there's a new study out that shows that Gen Z, which is ages 6 to 24, pretty wide range, but their top spending priority is clothes now so it's for the first time in like 10 years eight years or something like that what was it before that oh candy i don't yeah i would think that clothes would always be like you would think but it wasn't for a while the last like eight, it hasn't been closed. It's been NFTs, bro. It's probably cell phones. Yeah, cell phones.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Well, parents probably pay for it. So a top priority of what they spend money on is now clothes. And so for half my kids, it makes sense. Even though I think my 11, soon to be he's 11. i'm like running my years together we got how many he's 10 soon to be 11. he's 10 and a half now four boys four and um so hudson cares about clothes but it's like he cares kind of after the fact. Like Hogan, who will be 10 soon, he'll have something cool on and Hudson will go, oh, that's cool. And then he'll get into it. But then when it gets down to brass tacks, he doesn't really care. It's going to change when he starts dating.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, oh, for sure. But my oldest, 12-year-old, literally would walk out of the house with pajamas on and whatever and not care. He does not care whatsoever yeah and what's funny is now they go to school where he has to wear a uniform and you know like khaki shorts or khaki pants and like a colored shirt and he's fine with it he doesn't care yeah like i see i grew up and that might be because it's all boys in your house i grew up with all like mostly sisters so every time i put something on it was that clashes that doesn't work you know so well nicole my wife like
Starting point is 00:20:12 drives her crazy that you know two of them care to a dog she wants them to be you know somewhat stylish and yeah they go out you know like with that black basketball shorts and a you know purple shirt yeah she's She drives her nuts. Go back inside and change. So we'll see. But now it's rising as their top wallet priority, Gen Z. But it's such a weird big age group. Six-year-olds and 24.
Starting point is 00:20:37 So those Gen Z-ers. I like this one, folks. So General Mills, they make cereal, but they also make a lot of other things like El Pas like taco sauce and sauces and all kinds of stuff huge package goods company and uh this was this one hit my radar but they're doing a virtual uh tailgating experience and i thought this was really cool it's actually you go to the site and it's a kitchen in the living room and it's a 360 camera that goes around and you can kind of go to stations they have recipes that come up like they'll have their products on the
Starting point is 00:21:10 counter it comes up with recipes and they have these quizzes and different things and some of these things are gimmicky i thought this was really well done so hats off to general mills and uh the team it was a nice branded experience And maybe just because I like tailgating and tacos. I don't know. Football is your sport. Oh, it is. Yeah. You love football.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I do. And I love snacking during a football game. You know, give me some wings, some chips and salsa. But I did like this experience. It was cool the way at 360, the whole thing. So give it a check out. If you go to Marketing Dive, you'll see info on that activation. But really cool.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Homegate experience is what they're calling it. It's not a tailgate. It's a homegate. Good job. Good job, gentlemen. Good job, GM. All right. So I'm going to get my punching bag out here because Facebook's really taking it to the chin this week. They've had a whistleblower
Starting point is 00:22:05 talk about how Instagram's terrible for girls, and they did a study about that. They had an outage for six hours on Monday. Yeah. For me, it's like, no shit. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that? No shit. But have you also seen the conspiracies against that where the conservative side is saying that's a planted whistleblower so what's that what that's going to do is just censor more of what media they want driven yeah you know it's like you can't you don't know what to who to trust anymore no it's like there's such there's an agenda behind everything when i look at a company like Facebook, I don't think things just happen
Starting point is 00:22:46 by chance. No. I think everything's planned out. Your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Unless you're maybe trying to take some stuff down.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Exactly. You know, or get ahead of something. I don't know. These conspiracies abound. They're everywhere. They're everywhere. They're everywhere. What is this world?
Starting point is 00:23:13 What is this world that we're living in? It's terrifying. Yes, it is. And going with that, Zuckerberg lost $6 billion this week after the sell-off of the stock from all that stuff. So it may have been planned, but he took a big loss from it. He ate some. So that's a billion dollars in stock. Tax write-off.
Starting point is 00:23:33 He's like, how can I get a – I need a tax write-off. Yes. How can I write it off? That's a big write-off. Yeah. I'm sure you can make that up. But Facebook didn't have a great week. Or maybe they did.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And then people sold the stocks off. That's how they lost all their money? Yeah, sold the stock. Why? Because they think the negative news. Oh, yeah, exactly. It's coming back. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Moving on. So Johnny Walker has a new campaign out, and they've had a Keep Walking campaign going for a long time. Pretty cool campaign. Walk this way. Yeah, Sarah Smith is part of the new campaign. And that's a terrible singing job by me, but it will suffice nonetheless. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:24:20 We'll dub it out. Yeah, dub it out. Yeah, mark that spot right there nick don't let don't let me don't let me don't don't ask me to sing the uh anyway they've got it they're trying to get a new campaign out trying to get people to go back to bars makes sense yeah i mean that's probably where they do most of their business you know i would think yeah um yeah they're hopefully bars keep staying open yeah you know until next month where they decide to shut them all down again i know it's like make up your mind already exactly
Starting point is 00:24:51 alcohol kills germs doesn't it i think so yeah yeah that's a fact very proven yeah so true so uh yeah keep walking campaign i like the campaign. I like the spot. Anything that has Aerosmith in it, I like, though. And I like Johnny Walker. Yeah, I do, too. I might take a shot after this. Literally. Yeah. I'll join you.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So Pinterest is rolling out some new products focused on commerce and creators. So are you a Pinterest user? No. I don't know. I don't. so are you a pinterest user no i don't know i don't so i actually got into pinterest when i was making like movies because then i would use that as a tone piece for wardrobe for set design colorways and that is why i got into pinterest um so i don't use it unless i'm working on a project and i need like a storyboard of
Starting point is 00:25:45 tone. Okay. I like it. That's the use for it. That's what people do. Like I'm curating ideas for a new home or, uh, you know, style and fashion, all this. So it does skew 80% women, I think, but, but I have used it for similar things. I don't use it as much anymore, but still wildly popular.
Starting point is 00:26:07 similar things. I don't use it as much anymore, but still wildly popular. And they're coming out with the ability to upload all of your product catalog from your e-commerce store so that it can be tagged and used more easily across the platform for purchases. There's a lot of competition now for social commerce. All these platforms want purchases to happen within their platforms. They get a take on it or they get a percentage from the payment platform, or they just want people to stay on the platform longer, which is first and foremost so they can sell more ads. But they've been a little behind in their platform for sure. Yeah, Pinterest to me feels dated.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I think the idea is good, but it feels like a dated website yeah it it does to me as well so but how do you change that you know like what is what is an innovative way that you can keep pinterest up to date when there's so much competition well it's up to their i don't know tech team you know you know i think they're you know the numbers are still high of people that use it but it'll be interesting where they go uh here in the future i feel like all these platforms are converging on one another a bit and i don't know if like do you think it's marketing do you think it's like putting out ads and i think they need to do exactly what you just
Starting point is 00:27:23 said they've got to do some real platform like refreshing yeah like to make it more interesting totally and so we'll see i always thought that they could have pivoted a little bit more into the male side with taking what they do well and how do you position that to how a guy might use that you know and i don't have the exact solution to that like i don't know like builders like collecting like ideas or i don't know but like it just felt like they never pivoted into positioning and or tech trying they're trying to hit the female demographic way yeah they didn't want in some ways hey the riches are in the niches, as they say. So I get it. But I still feel like it feels a bit dated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So we'll see. Finally, scrolling a bit here. We're on – I thought this was interesting. So there's a $500 million estate in L.A. that has gone into foreclosure. And I thought this was interesting because of because it's the most expensive largest estate in the world, or at least in the U.S. And I want to give you some of the stats from this house. It took 10 years to develop, and it has amenities, a four-lane bowling alley,
Starting point is 00:28:42 it has tennis courts, a 10,000-bottle wine cellar. These are just warm-ups here. We're really getting to the good stuff. Seven swimming pools, a full spa, a racetrack, my friends, a racetrack, a 32-seat cinema, a 50-car garage. That's not five. That's 50-car garage, and a full-size nightclub and for living quarters 21 bedrooms 42 bathrooms and a 5,500 square foot master suite it sounds like the playboy mansion
Starting point is 00:29:17 yeah that's like seriously like that it's not that the playboy mansion isn't that big no it's like but who lives there uh I don't think anyone right now. I think it's under foreclosure. So I don't know if some developer who developed it was hoping to sell it and never did. And now he's foreclosed. Yeah. He got a $100 million loan on top of his own cash, I guess. I don't know what he's hoping to sell.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I don't know what he had in it. Who has that money to spend $500 million? always hoping to sell i don't know what he had in it like who has that money to spend 500 million and then to fill the 10 000 or 10 000 bottle wine cellar if you can buy the house you can fill that cellar but apparently no one can no one and then the swimming pools california is in a really bad drought yeah seven swimming pools seven swimming pools they're all like 100 000 gallons each yeah the water bill for that they could mike could make some money just draining off the water you know watering something from stuff yeah like bottling it you know there you go mansion water
Starting point is 00:30:16 yes but uh 21 bedrooms 42 bathrooms and a 5 500 square foot master suite they you know we say if it's radical we we cover it, and I thought that was fucking radical. That's insane. But they do have it on sale. There's a sale price of $350 million now in the foreclosure. Imagine just being like, oh, yeah, we need to cut the price. It was out of my budget, but suddenly now it's in. Now it's in.
Starting point is 00:30:38 If you rework some things, you might be able to get it. Yeah, I'm going to move some things around and see if I can make it happen. You fired Nick. Yeah, figure out a dick salary. Yeah, I'm going to move some things around and see if I can make it happen. You fired Nick. Yeah, if I get rid of Nick's salary and 12 of my own and 14 of someone else's, we'll be good. Yeah. That's crazy. Could you take a pay cut, Sean?
Starting point is 00:30:57 For you? Yeah. As long as I can swim in the pool. You could stay in one of the 21 bedrooms. Deal. Deal. I'll work for free then. The guest stay in one of the 21 bedrooms. Deal. Deal. I'll work for free then. The guest suite is 3,300 square feet.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Okay. It's a little small, but... 5,500 for the... I'm trying to even envision. Actually, you can envision it here. Our space here, it radicals roughly 5,500 square feet. So this is the master suite. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That's the best. You know, if you really are getting along as a couple, I mean, you can totally be a part in the master suite. That's insane. That's the best. But, you know, like if you really are getting along as a couple, I mean, you can totally like be a part in the same space, you know. Or just give her a house somewhere else. She can sleep in one of the other bedrooms. Yeah. The other side of LA. Go sleep in the spa.
