Starting point is 00:00:45 A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the Skinny Confidential, him and her. Aha. Welcome to the Skinny Confidential. him and her podcast. Today we have a very, very special event. It's 73 questions, but not with Lauren, with Michael Bostic, the Christian Bill lookalike himself with Mimi. Hi.
Starting point is 00:01:14 It took you, it took you that whole time to come up with that introduction. That was subpar, terrible actually. That took 20 minutes to think of and write down. Oh my God, dude. A little hungover. You're lucky we have this partition, Taylor. I honestly want to physically beat you a lot of the time that we record together. Really, really irritate me. Is your mic hot? It's on. It's on. It's on.
Starting point is 00:01:34 You're feeling good? I feel horrible. I want, is my screen ready? My screen's good. I was just telling me, I know you did this with Lauren. I did not listen to that episode at all because I wanted to come into this with a fresh perspective. I didn't want it to sway me. I'm going to after we do this, I'm going to go listen to that episode, see what you guys did.
Starting point is 00:01:52 But I can tell you, this one's probably going to be better because. I wonder if your answers will be similar. I feel like you're, Taylor and I went to this concert last night. and I feel like we're both a little bit slow today. You don't say, you're looking like a weathered old saddle. Taylor's operating and thinking like he looks every day. I feel fucking horrible right now. See?
Starting point is 00:02:09 I slept in my car. What? Yep, he slept in his car. I didn't even make it into the building. Taylor. We were getting in the Uber last night. We went and saw this vlogging Molly concert, and honestly, guys, we're all too old now to be in Mosh pits and getting beat up. I just can't handle it anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Michael got punched in the head. And my arm. Look at my arm. Look at that. Disgusting. Did someone grab you? I think so. I think there was some grabbing.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. I think some guy was sucking on the back of my arm in the Moshfit. But Taylor and I were laughing hysterically because he was so drunk. We were getting in the Uber. Shocking. Yeah, shocking. We were getting in the Uber and the driver got out, you know, like a nice guy, opened the door for us. And Taylor started yelling at him and argue with him telling him like, hey, buddy, that's our Uber.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Get away from the Uber. That's ours. And I was like, that's our driver. What was you doing, man? So embarrassing. I honestly, I don't even remember that. That's how I was definitely drunk. He was like, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:03:04 That's ours. Like, we called that. And I was like, that's our driver. Wow. It's because I, someone's once stolen my taxi before. I think that's where that came from. Do you remember that one time that you got into an Uber pool on accident and you were like an hour late to meet us?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, that's happened one time too. You know why? Because he was probably too scared of like, normal people. This is Taylor and that show. Normal people would be like, whoa, shit. There's somebody in my Uber that just pulled up. Sorry. called the wrong one. I will not be getting this. I got to cancel and get in another one.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Nope, not Taylor. He will get in it and take a ride for an hour. He'll ride it out. He'll ride it out. It makes a good story though. So how do you, how do you begin this thing? How do you do this? Do you want to just go into it? I typically just go right in. All right. First question. Wait, wait, hold on. That's how you're going to go. That's a little bit too strong. So what's the premise? The premises were doing 73 questions. The premise is I went through a bunch of 73 questions by Vogue and I picked all the best ones. I went specifically for all the ones with Zoolander for you. I feel like they're probably applicable.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Okay. And I wrote them all down and you just have to answer. That's it. See, I like to. They're short answers. Okay. They're short answers. 73 questions.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Now the audience knows. Nobody's going to be blindsided. You tell stories the same way my wife does where you just kind of like. No, don't compare me to Crow. Crow when she was giving these answers. It was like three different answers. People, see, what do you see what I'm saying? You jump to the end.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Where people on this show. Let me tell you. Let me show you how to do a story. Mimi and I, when Lauren's squawking and being annoying and complaining, we have called her, we call her crow because crows have that squawking noise. Very high-pitched. A little inside joke that we have. We talked about that on Lauren's 73 questions, so the insiders will know. She's probably listening to this and squawking about it right now, crowing, or she will listen to this.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Okay. She won't like it. Let's get into it then. All right. 73 questions. Taylor, have Google open for me. Do not. It's open.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And I want that mic. Don't. We got to have our references. Speaking of crow, too, just to a reference in the last episode, I told the story of how my grandpa ate crow. Like, figure it, like literally? Physically. Yeah, okay. So he.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Literally. Was it alive? Did he go through the feathers? No, he did not. He didn't, like, scoop it up off the ground. Well, hold on. This is, you need more contact. You're acting like everyone out there just knows how to properly eat a crow.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Like, where did he get this thing? Did he shoot it? Did he get in a store? Did he like, how does he? You're like, my grandpa's not an animal. He was eating crow the right way. Yeah. Your grandpa fully sounds like a savage animal.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, well, I don't know the reasoning behind it or why, but it was, I mean, unless it wasn't crow and he was just joking, but I'm fairly certain he wasn't some, he wasn't some, he wasn't giving you one of those sayings back in the day. You're like, hey, sometimes you got to eat some crow. No, no. He was legitimately talking about literal crow. Grandpa Crow. Is this the same grandpa that made you sit at the dinner table all night?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, that same one. Okay. Makes a lot of sense. All right. You know, we're not, the audience is probably like, what the hell's going on? Let's get in it. Okay. Did you name your first car?
Starting point is 00:06:05 No. How did you start your day today? We don't need a whole long story, but. I woke up feeling like I had a jackhammer in my head. I was so hung over from the Flogging Molly concert. I was bruised all over my body. And I woke up to look at my wife staring down at me and just telling me I was pathetic. I feel like she had like laser eyes.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Today was an off day. Usually I get up super early and get out. After, today was a bad day. It was St. Patrick's Day last night. What one person did you have on your wall in high school? This is a little out there. I bet it's something people would not guess, but it was Tupac. Really?
Starting point is 00:06:37 I had a poster of Tupac on my wall. You were a huge Tupac fan. Yeah. It's huge. Well, still, not worse. Still am. The greatest of all time. Can you sing a verse?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Well, he's a rapper, Mimi. He doesn't sing. You don't sing. No, I don't sing. Listen, I know my limits. I don't do that. I have never in my whole life. I do.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I sing in the car by myself. You do? Everybody does. Everybody does. I would love to put a camera in there and see it. What show would you make a cameo in? It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Not Narcos?
Starting point is 00:07:05 With your new glasses? Narcos would be cool, but I feel like it's always sunny would be way cooler. Okay, here's a question for the audience. Who's your favorite? It's always sunny character. Mine? Yeah. We've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:07:17 The main character? Like, who's the best on the show? Well, Max's probably the best on the show. Well, Dennis is probably my favorite. Mac's probably the best on the show because he goes, he does all the, like, he fully commits. That's true. But the dentist system is like one of the best ever. Did you know that that's his wife who is in the dentist system with him?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Wait, you're talking to me. You're saying he fully commits? Danny DeVito fully commits for sure. Yeah, but he's not my favorite. He's funny. He's got some absurd moments. They're all good. The whole cast is good.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Caitlin Olson, Mac, Rob, McElhenney. Is that how he says his name? Yeah. Charlie Day. Okay. What is a movie that made you cry? While you think, I've got a good one for that one. I want to say it's probably the only movie that made me cry that I can remember.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Actually, two, two movies. One, Armageddon with Bruce Willis. I don't know why, but towards the end. Well, that is a sad movie. When he kills himself, or when he blows himself up, sacrifices himself, cried. And then the second one, this one, I remember I was crying so hard that I, like, my mom had to, and I was older, too. I was, well, not old, but it was star, what is it called? Stargate.
Starting point is 00:08:18 There's a part in the end when one of the characters gets blown up, and for some reason I cried. I don't know why. You have so many issues. I got to come back to that one. I don't really cry that much in movies. Favorite album of all time? Ooh. Favorite album of all time?
Starting point is 00:08:33 Probably Ride the Lightning by Metallica. If you could be a rock star, who would it be? Ooh, another good one. Maybe Axel Rose in the heyday of Guns and Roses. Maybe, obviously everyone's going to say someone like Mick Jagger, right? James Hepfield, Metallica, they've had a very long run. I like a lot of metal music. I feel like I wouldn't want the rock star life of like, you know, maybe the more
Starting point is 00:08:56 like trendy, successful ones. It's not about like the money and the life stuff. I just feel like the type of music. Probably there's probably some of like a version of some of the heavy metal bands in the 80s. What would your spirit animal be? Oh, maybe a mongous. I thought about this one. Really?
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah. Mon goose. Why? I don't know. They're just badass. They can eat the shit out of snakes and go out for them. I was thinking a coyote for you because I looked it up and you're a fire spirit. That's like your sign because coyotes can like handle a lot of fire, I guess.
Starting point is 00:09:23 But you said this is my animal sign. Like what would your spirit? animal be. Maybe a vulture. Okay. I see that for you too. Lauren said a crow. A crow? That's what she said. Because I told her to say that. Your go-to karaoke song. Maybe Down Under by Men at Work. I like that song. It's classic. Everyone can get into it. I could never imagine you doing karaoke in my entire life. Wouldn't you love to see it though? I could never imagine you not interrupting my 73 questions. But keep coming. When you're not working, what is one thing you love to do? Read.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Do you like sports? Yeah. I don't think that's true. I don't like team sports. Okay. I did him when I was a kid, played hockey. What did I do? I played soccer, hockey, football. I think I did it. But I like... Boxing? Well, that's what I'm saying. I like boxing, Muay Thai. I like individual sports where I can compete with myself. Team sports. You're not a great tennis player. No, but I never said it was. Why did you say that? I was just thinking about it. You're really not good. When have you played tennis with me? I'll beat you in tennis. I doubt it. I used to take lessons. Do you have a hidden talent? Harmonica? Many talents, harmonica. Some say I'm an amazing lover. I don't need to know that. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Be patient, slow down, for sure. You have a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:10:36 A lot of 20-year-olds get in trouble because, and we've had this conversation, you and I, where they crave the end result more than the process. And I think, like, that was me for a very, very long time. And getting ahead of myself and thinking that I needed to do everything right away, to me, 20 feels like yesterday and also forever ago. And I feel like, you know, if you really think about my career, it's really only been 10 years, 21 to 31, 32. And if you think about how much gets done in those 10 years, like if people could understand, like, how much time 10 years really is.
Starting point is 00:11:09 And if you could step back and be like, okay, I'm 20 years old or I'm graduating college and think, okay, what I do now is I look at guys, like my role models. I'm like, okay, look at that guy. He's 40. Okay, I have 10 years to get there. Oh, look at that other guy. That's 50. I have 20 years to do that. 60. And so like I try to kind of really put in perspective of like what I can do in a 10 year period.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I think people should think about it like that. That's a good reminder. Because sometimes I look at you guys and like I want that. Number one piece of advice you've ever been given. Hmm. That's hard. I've been given a lot of good advice. Probably from your dad. The dad gave me a lot of good advice. I don't know one like in what in like what aspect of life. Just like if you had to have like one tagline of the best piece of advice you've ever been given like one line that you would give to everyone. I think it's going to center around integrity, right? Like my dad was somebody that, you know, basically said no matter what, like never break your word or like sacrifice your honor because the rest of the stuff, money, fortune, fame, like all that stuff comes and goes. And it,
Starting point is 00:12:08 comes and goes really, really quick. Like, people don't realize, like, how quickly. Like, I wouldn't be surprised. I hope this doesn't happen. But tomorrow, the world can turn upside down on me in terms of my business, relationships. Like, that could happen. That's very possible. But if you keep your word and your honor and respect during all that, people are going to want to gravitate to help you. If you don't, if you sacrifice those things and take shortcuts, then when the world turns ugly on you and it gets bad, people aren't going to rally around to help you and you're going to have a much harder time in life.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So I feel like if you're a good person, if you have strong integrity, if people trust you when you're down and when you're out, people will always rally around you to help you. And if you don't, then nobody will and you're going to go through life miserable. Guys, before we get into the questions, I want to talk about something that makes me very happy. we are getting a ton of DMs from individuals online in the interwebs telling us that they have been picking up new skills on one of our favorite platforms, Skillshare. I mean, I know a lot of you guys have asked me how I do my Instagram story graphics or how I make my YouTube swipe ups and that is all because of Skillshare.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And they were able to learn how to do these really cool graphics that move. So if you're looking to improve your Instagram stories, I feel like you need to head over to Skillshare. Our producer Taylor, literally, Taylor, who's been regular occurrence on this show, has learned how to do after effects, motion graphics, YouTube stuff, audio production, all through Skillshare.

Starting point is 00:15:01 Talking too much, interrupting. Yeah. You're really bad at that. Can you do an impression? Yeah, I can do lots of impressions. I can do certain accents like this where I sound and talk with a low drawl. This one's pretty good. I can do stone cold Steve Austin and that's the bottom line. No.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I can do stuff like that. Taylor, what else can I do? I can do lots of stuff? Can you do at range? Can you go high? High? Like a high pitch? Oh, what do I don't know?
Starting point is 00:15:33 That's pretty hard. That was actually impressive. Yeah, I could do weird shit with my voice, but I have a, I have to hear, like if I hear somebody talking or see something, I can do it better. More of a method actor, what did you say? Let's not. What's your best habit? My best habit is that I force myself to read and learn constantly. And I'm not saying that makes me so smart.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I'm in the habit of constantly seeking knowledge to that, so that, you know, it could be in anything, right? I was telling you the other day, like, I am always somebody that likes to be very well-rounded. I'm never necessarily an expert at everything, but I have a little bit of base knowledge. Like one thing that impresses me with individuals is when, maybe they, I don't know, maybe they're an athlete, but all of a sudden they can start speaking on
Starting point is 00:16:19 like molecular science or something like that. You're like, wow, I wouldn't expect that. And so I like to have a broad range of knowledge. And I think that the habits that have enabled me to do that is constantly learning and reading and seeking out knowledge. I think that's an important trait, curiosity. Smart. What age will you let your daughter date? Oh, fuck, man. I was an animal when I was younger. You can ask your dad. He knows. He caught me with your sister, very young in the closet. And if karma is a real thing, I feel like my daughter is going to give me a really, really hard time. Lauren and I, his parents tried to stop us, and we just did it anyway.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like, that's what kids do, right? Yeah. I feel like. If you say yes, then they probably do it later. I'm going to take the approach, you know, like a lot of people don't know this about me, but I've never done a hard drug in my life, right? I think I've talked about it on the show. Like, I've never ever done cocaine or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:17:10 my dad was, you know, a child of the 60s and 70s. So he would, he would all tell me what those experiences were like. So I never went through life of like the curiosity of needing to do it. So I always felt like very fulfilled. I have no problem if people are doing whatever they want to do. But for me, I was like, okay, I know what that sounds like and looks like. So I didn't need to seek it out. I feel like with dating, I'll be very upfront to say, okay, this is what it's going to be like.
Starting point is 00:17:31 This is what you can do, not do. And then hopefully raise a child that can make an educated decision. But like I said, Carmen's a bitch. Who knows? Like, really hope I don't have some daughter that she's out. giving blowies out like 12 years old. You mean like how you were getting them? Yeah, I really don't like.
Starting point is 00:17:47 That really makes you uncomfortable to think about. Yeah. Okay, if you were not where you are now, what would you be doing? Hmm. That's a typical question because I don't know. I never thought I'd be where I'm at now, right? I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing. I don't know what that would be.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I think that would be commercial real estate? No, that sounds a little boring to me. I'm somebody that has to be constantly challenged, right? Like this latest venture, obviously, with this female focus podcast network is a brand new challenge for me. It's territory that hasn't necessarily been explored by a lot of people. There's not like a manual, really. I would be doing something that you probably wouldn't expect me to do it, that I probably wouldn't be expecting myself to be doing, right?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Like, of course, investing in certain typical deals and doing, you know, stuff like real estate or marketing. Like that's, but I would be finding other things to do as well. I don't know. Was that a humble brag? No, no, no. I just think I need something that's. I don't like to go into waters that have been necessarily previously explored so much. Who's your style icon?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Fuck, depends which day of the week. Style icon? Like, I don't know. Like, I go back and forth. Like, sometimes I just want to be, you know, super casual. But sometimes, like, if I go to London or if I'm in New York or guys are dressed up, like probably like a James Bond style icon, like, you know, like James Bond was old, like the Sean Connery days.
Starting point is 00:19:01 He was all buttoned up. He's an icon. I don't know, like rock stars are the 80s sometimes. I kind of go back and forth because I can't, you know, I'm not really that. and I'm not really the other thing, so. What advice would you give to your little siblings, aka me, Tara, and Jordan, and Miles?
Starting point is 00:19:16 Listen to your big brother. He knows everything. Your favorite scent? My favorite scent? My wife, she smells good all the time, even when she smells bad. Turned on. Is that too much information for you?
Starting point is 00:19:27 I think that was more so, like, asking about your perfume preference, but. Oh, maybe like a wood scent. You don't want to give it away? No, like a cedar, you know? Okay. I'm being specific about like a wood. No brand name? No, I have, well, I wear, what's a colon I wear, but Barreto?
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah. Beridu. How do you say that? Burredu? No idea. B-Y-R-E-D-O, guys. Michael does this thing though where it's like he liked the perfume and so then he went and he bought like the body lotion, the body wash, the hairspray.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I do the same thing. I found these pants from John Elliott that I like. I got them in all colors. That's my, that might be one of my worst habits actually when you, now that you ask. Shopping. If I find something I like, I'll get him in all colors. He has, I'm not exaggerating, 40 of the exact same James Purse. shirt. Yeah. If I find something I like, I kind of just get it in all the variations.
Starting point is 00:20:13 What is your favorite food? Pretzels, hot dog from Disneyland. Those are all good from the Red Wagon. Is that what it is? The Disneyland? That's a corn dog. Don't get a twosy. Remember that one day? We were sitting in traffic and we're like, let's go get a corn dog. Yeah, Lauren got so pissed off. Well, because that's not a casual detour to just detour into Disneyland. But we did it. We went in, you know what? That was like a $500 corn dog because I had to get you a ticket, me a ticket, Lauren a ticket. We had to get into Disneyland. We were to park. And then we had to get the corn. Yeah, she was pissed. We went on one ride and left. That was the most expensive corn dog I ever had. Worth it. Worth it. But it's not my favorite food. Maybe Italian. What is your favorite food?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Scantanelli? Scalinaelli. Yeah. Least favorite food. Goat cheese. I hate goat cheese. I don't if somebody told me goat cheese would add four inches to my dick and make me grow of another foot. I wouldn't do it. I hate it. Most memorable? You wouldn't eat it if that? Nope, don't care. I hate it. You kidding me? I would be fucking sucking that thing down.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Well, yeah, you need all the hub you can get. Zing! What is your nerdiest quality? I've always been like a really, really into comics and Star Wars and like sci-fi stuff and games, like, like, video games. Yeah. So I don't know if that's nerdy. I think that's pretty cool now.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I think the way that you're a nerd is like you don't like to go outside the box sometimes. Like what? Like, give me an example. Like, I just feel like sometimes Lauren are like trying to have fun and like stay at dinner a little bit later and you're like, no, let's go home. No, no, no. I gotta go to bed. No, no. Here's what happens. You guys go to the same places and have the same thing every time so it becomes routine. I don't like routine. That's why everyone's like, what's your morning routine? What's your evening routine? I have to go in and out of routine because it gets boring. So it's like you and Lauren like to do repetitive things. You both go to the same fucking restaurant all the time. Yeah. And order the same thing. We like consistency. Yeah. Okay. What was,
Starting point is 00:22:09 your most memorable moment while podcasting? Oh my God, we've had so many. So far for me, I mean, we've interviewed, I don't want to like single any get one guest out, but like for me, when we got to meet an interview Robert Green was very, very surreal for me because I'm such a fan of his work and I'm such a fan of all of his books. I like, you know, read all of them and I never would have thought three years ago doing this that I would ever, one, have the pleasure of meeting him and two, the pleasure of like sitting down and interviewing him and getting his like personal phone number to be able to ask him questions. Just like that was probably a highlight for me just because I never thought that we got there.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And obviously there's been a lot of other moments forming due media, partnering with DBA like all like signing amazing talent we've done. But like for me that personally was a highlight. Yeah. What was your first job? My first job? Well, I had like three in conjunction when I was 13 years old. my dad had me go work with the landscaping company.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And so I would drive around in the trucks with all the landscapers. And it was really humbling because we lived in a nice area. But I would show up in like full gardening outfit. And I would have to work on the homes of the guys and the girls that were a grade older than me. And they would all be out like by the pools in the summertime, like, you know, laughing and squirting each other with squirt guns, whatever the hell they were doing. And I was in the corner like in a gardening outfit with a rake, like pulling their weeds and off the side. But honestly, I remember finishing those, like, whoever, like, when you're fighting the earth as a job for anyone that's, like, when I see people doing that,
Starting point is 00:23:43 I'm like, respect. That's like some of the hardest work you do. I would come home every day covered in dirt and just flop down on the floor and pass out. That one, then I worked at McDonald's for a while, worked at a car wash for a while. But here's another side story where I found out that I could never have a job again. This is me. I could never ever have a job. Enough times past now. I don't know if I've ever told you this story. But we used to play, me and my friends, and Josh, we used to set up these home poker games, and we were like 15, 14, 15 years old. We used to play poker with, like, all the kids in the neighborhood, and he would charge an entry fee and charge these things called blinds in poker, and the house would collect the blind,
Starting point is 00:24:19 so he would make money, and we'd split it at the end. So I'd bring the people and we'd play, and then if you want any money, you'd stay. And so fast forward through that, I was working at McDonald's, and we had fake IDs at the time, because we were degenerate. but we used these fake IDs. There was the Indian casinos in Barona. Yeah, here in California.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And we would get out of school and sneak to the casinos and we'd play all the old drunk guys that were there in poker and you'd show up with $100 bill and either you left with nothing because you'd lose it or in the reverse case you'd win a lot.
Starting point is 00:24:50 So I remember the first day we went, I went there and won like 700 bucks and I was like, you know, 16 years old at the time. I remember I walked into McDonald's the next day I was like I quit, done because that's what I would make for like two weeks
Starting point is 00:25:00 of hard work. And so I did that. I was like, okay, I'm done with jobs. And then I would go play poker and they kept putting together a little bankroll. And so I'd always go and say, okay, if I show up with 100, I can only lose 100, but I could win a lot more. So if I'd lose, I'd go home, I never would cash back in. And I'd make it. And I started making thousands and thousands of dollars in my junior and senior year of high school. And I just said, okay, like, there's no going back now. Like, that was the first step towards like an entrepreneurial career. Would you suggest me to go to the casino? No, but I think like it also like required a certain, like there was something exciting about it, like, going up against grown men and, like,
Starting point is 00:25:33 gambling like that is like, I think there's some people that should do it and some people that shouldn't. I'm too tired. What is the most terrifying thing you've ever done? Hmm. Maybe skydiving if you consider that terrifying. Describe yourself. I know.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I know what it is. What? Talk to my wife before 9 a.m. That is frightening. Before she's had coffee and before she's meditated. There's a whole checklist of things that she needs to do in the morning before I'm able to talk to her or discuss anything with her. But the thing is, like, I've already been up for four hours by the time this happened. So I'm already, like, all the way turned up.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And that usually always backfires in my face when I don't let that routine kind of get through. I am so scared of her sometimes when it's early in the morning and she hasn't meditated yet. Yeah. I would rather, like, sit in the rain outside than speak to her before she's meditated. I would rather fight a Wolverine. Describe yourself in three words. I'd say intense, loyal, curious. That's a good one. That's good.
Starting point is 00:26:32 One misconception about you. I don't know. I think people think that I'm like this guy that wants to just like, you know, be running around and be in the social scene and do this. But like honestly, if I get a moment alone, like all I want, I'm a very, very independent person. It may not look like that sometimes because like I'm with people all the time and these teams. It's not really by choice though. Yeah. But I honestly, like my dream is that I would get a four out.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I'm never going to get this in the foreseeable future, but I would have like a four-hour window of time in the afternoon where I could just sit in one place by myself think and read. Like I'm a very calm, like independent person. With your dogs? Yeah. Yeah. I'd just like to just sit and relax.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And a lot of, like I don't need like constant stimulation or activity. Like I really appreciate being alone sometimes. Your biggest strength. Pardon my wife. That's a true answer. Like if you can find somebody in your life where you can partner in a very specific way, like Lorton really compliments things that I don't have. Sometimes like if I get, if I start to go down the rabbit hole and get like panicked or start to get a lot of control, she grounds me.
Starting point is 00:27:34 She makes me take a step back a lot of the time and like look at things from a different angle. And I think like having a secret weapon like that, like when you get a counterpart in a relationship, like it can be your biggest strength. I mean, look at, you know, the show and what we've done with that. So, yeah. The other day she was telling me about how the other day she was laying in bed and she said that you came in and you had a meeting with like someone important that day. and you were wearing like a full tuxedo with cowboy boots and she said that she just like ridiculed you for like 10 minutes and then you came back and it changed. That's true. And the other day I was wearing a pistachio sweater, color sweater, which I actually still think looks good and she's like, no, that's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:28:10 So like that's what I'm saying. She helps me kind of frame things out because if not I would have gone into that meeting with like. Maybe wearing a tux as a breakfast meeting isn't the best booth. It wasn't a fucking tux. She's so ridiculous. There was cowboy boots, which I do wear a lot, but it wasn't, it wasn't appropriate for this outfit or this occasion. What does family mean to you? Well, I think it means a lot of things, right?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Like, you know, they all say blood's thicker than water. It's true. But I think, like, for me, family doesn't always necessarily just need to be blood. Like, there's a lot of people that I consider family that my partner, Wes and I consider him like a brother, like a real, like Taylor, like Taylor and I've been through. He's definitely like a distant cousin, maybe. It depends. You know, he's the brother that I don't like to talk about so frequently that we, um, no, I'm just kidding, Taylor. You know, we're not blood, but we've, for the last 10 years, we've been through a lot.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah, we've been eating crow together. Yeah. I've never gone that far. And I don't want to know a lot of what he's doing and is like in the, in the private hours of the night. No one does. But like honestly like when you think about like family and brother, like I think to me, family just means people that you fully let inside your life in multiple ways. And like, you know, we have, I think it's just like anybody that you can get to that deep relationship with like a lot of times you don't even need to say anything. It's just understood. I don't know. There's a lot of things family meets me. But like that's a good way to put it. Very deeply love people that I can see the family. Explain yourself. Who is your biggest inspiration? Don't say your wife again. No, no, no, no. She's not my biggest inspiration. I'm inspired a lot by just people who have set out and live life on their own terms. Like for me, like it's not about money or fame or platform. It's really just like being able to wake up every day and say, yeah, that today was like on my terms or like that career was on my terms or that relationship was built on my terms.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I know that somewhat sounds selfish. I think it's okay for people to be selfish when it comes to living life the way they want. I think so many of us get caught up doing things because their parents think they should do it a certain way or their boyfriend or husband or whatever or society. And for me, like I really want to look like if I could look back on my life. life as an old dying man. I want to say like, okay, I did that my way. And when I, when I read about inspiring people, it's the people I'm the most inspired by are the people that like really set out to do things in a different way. And so I don't know if that's one individual. I think there's a lot of individuals that kind of compile that list for me, but just people that set out and
Starting point is 00:30:24 kind of trailblaze and set a path on their own. Talking about influences. Remember when Lauren gave that quote and then she said, Ulysses as Grant or something or was like Colonel Mustard or something. Colonel Mustard, but might as well. It didn't Colonel Mustard? No, I mean, that's Custer, Colonel Custard. Oh. There's the book, you know, by the Ulysses, and it was like somebody on our show came, and I can't remember off the top of my head right now because a little hazy came on.
Starting point is 00:30:49 A little hungover? Yeah, I'll think of it as we're going through which show that was on, but they basically gave a quote from the book of Ulysses, and Lauren's like, wow, Ulysses S. Grant said that, and it was not Ulysses S. Grant. Okay. What is your favorite cocktail? I would say I like the classics, either a margarita, old-fashioned, or like if I have it in my way, most of the time, it's like just a straight whiskey with maybe ice or no ice. Yeah, I'm very simple. I can't have a lot of sweets in my cocktails. Oh, you know what's really good, though? A Ramos gin fizz when you're hung over. You ever know what that is?
Starting point is 00:31:18 No, sounds nice. A little bit of gin, a little bit of the egg white shaking up. Ew. I think it's like... Egg whites? Rose water or orange. That sounds fruity. You shake it really hot. It tastes like a cloud. You have to make one. for me. Yeah. You always are saying that you're this like connoisseur of alcohol and you have all this stuff at your house to make these fancy cocktails, but you've never made me anything. Well, that's because you know what I was saying. Like I have to be, I have a strong knowledge base. So like there's a long period of time where I had to learn how to make proper cocktails, right? I remember that. And I actually can't ask Taylor. Yeah, there was a period in down San Diego, not at his most recent house,
Starting point is 00:31:56 but the one previously where he'd make a lot of drinks. He actually got me into it too, like simple syrups and he would go full lord everything but you have to know for me like you have to know how to make like a proper manhattan i could do that you have to know how to make a proper martini you have to know how to do margarito you have to know an old fashion a sazirac or you just have to have to have someone who knows how to make it like you like why do i have to learn when you know how to do it well that's what saying but i need to know how to make these cocktails just because i feel like you have to have a base like i don't know how to get into like all these craft drinks or have someone with you who knows how to do it Yeah, but for me it was more like learning like proper measurements and how to balance a cocktail.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Like if you could do that. Speaking of his old house, that's where I discovered your biggest secret ever. I don't know if I should air it out in the podcast. Might as well, I read. What is it? I remember you were growing a beard and like it had a red hint to it. Your beard was red. And you started to just tell people, I was like, your beard's not red anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:48 You're like, I know it just started growing darker. And then I went to your house. Oh, wow, that's embarrassing. And there was a beard dye on the counter. There was. What was it just for men? And it was like brown. Well, because what happened is like the beard hair for some reason started like turning red.
Starting point is 00:33:02 And then my wife was just not having. We were making so much fun of you. As you sit there with your dyed pink hair. How dare you? It's cool. How dare. It was so red. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:33:12 It wasn't that red. It was like literal, um, Ron from Harry Potter. Fuck you, Ron Weasley. No, it wasn't. It was not that red. It was just like red specs. You were really insane. We're going to have to share that picture of me with my beard.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah. Okay. Moving on. What did you want to be when you grew up? Do you know what's funny? People always ask me this. And I think I've talked about it in this podcast. My example of like, you know, for me it was like my dad.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And I would just see him come home every day like either from like he was in real estate for a long time from construction sites or from meetings. And he used to take me to meetings very, very early on. The rule was at the time. Like, you know, if I was eight, nine or 10 or 11 or like young, I would just, he just said, listen, you can come to all these meetings. You just sit there and listen and just watch. the way people meet and watch the way people talk. It was really beneficial to me because I think it taught me very early on to watch. I was fortunate enough to sit and watch all these meetings and watch confident men and women talk business. And so for me, like I always, when I
Starting point is 00:34:10 think about what I wanted to be when I was a kid, it wasn't like an astronaut. It was like, I wanted to be a businessman. At the time, I didn't know what that looked like. But it enabled me to be in a position now like where I'm very, I learned a lot of lessons very early on watching those types of meetings. I think there's a certain cadence and watching adults speak like that and see how those meetings are conducted. And I always looked at it as like, okay, well, if that's how it's done, like, why can't I just do that? And now I do. Hmm. I always looked at your mom when I was growing up because she would wear these like amazing suits. And I'm like, I want to wear suits like her when I'm older. She still works her ass off. Yeah. Good for her. Um, good for you, mom. Yeah. Who is one person alive or
Starting point is 00:34:48 dead who you'd want to go to coffee with. You're so interested in so many different people. Oh my God, I think Arnold Schwarzenegger Well, I would love to go with Arnold I'm so smart I'm trying to think of somebody who's dead That I would really want to go with Hemingway would be rad to go with He's just lived like a crazy life writer
Starting point is 00:35:03 Julius Caesar You know who I'd really want to go with? Ganga's Khan Really? Yeah, because that guy was a straight savage That a lot of people don't know this The Mongolian Empire was the largest land empire At the time like they had the most
Starting point is 00:35:17 They took over almost all of Asia They pretty much it And they started baiting into Russia and all sorts of places. So he was, and he did it, you know, he was. What does that say about you? Well, I just. Sometimes you're a little Napoleon-esque. Well, Napoleon would be cool to go to dinner with too.
Starting point is 00:35:32 These people that are just like, did these, like, when you think about like, I mean Napoleon because you're short, but continue. I, I get, I knew you were going on. I someone acknowledge it. What is the next vacation you're taking? Oh, I don't like to run surprises. I really want to go to Charleston. Never been.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And I heard it's amazing. We have some friends over there. And so I want to go there. I don't know if that's like a vacation or just a spot. Cabo. I'm going to go to Cabo. I got to go down there. Cabo is one of the best places on the planet.
Starting point is 00:36:01 And it's so close. You could take Hawaii all day long. I don't want to go to Cabo. Funniest thing your dad has ever done. Well, he told me he's never thrown up in his entire life. I believe it. What the hell is that about? What kind of person's never thrown up in their entire life?
Starting point is 00:36:15 Your dad. That's kind of funny. Yeah, absolutely. I tell everyone about it. that. The guy, my dad's funny all the time. He's got... He's funny when he's just sitting there. He's one of those guys that's like, him and my wife have a lot in common. They're like always the loudest people in the room. Sometimes people will think they're rude because they're so loud and like unaware of like what's going on. But it's like it's always from the best intentions.
Starting point is 00:36:37 They just don't really, they just don't have, I call it like they give zero fucks in public settings. They just scream and do what they want. And I think that's, I'm attracted to that. He's like one of my top 10 favorite people. The first app you open in the morning. It's probably at this point It's like, I think it's probably like headspace That's like the first thing I tried to like We've talked about in the show I try to do to not go into email
Starting point is 00:36:57 Definitely don't go into social media Like don't do that first thing in the morning And it's so it's probably like something like Headspace or a Spotify Because I'll go and like play some relaxing music or something Best Fast Food Restaurant I think it's like McDonald's if you're being consistent
Starting point is 00:37:11 But like if you're going for taste and like What's the best probably in and out I don't know people say Shake Shack I don't think so I don't think so I think that's just East Coasters who don't have the access to in and out. They don't get it. Maybe. I've never had Shick Shaq. Oh my God. It's so good. I get it like three times a week. Kenzie, the host of the show,
Starting point is 00:37:29 I Love You So Much, just brought me Chick-fil-A. Oh yeah, Chick-fil-A. I heard that's good. Have you not had it? I've only eaten it, I want to say three times and I just kept ordering the same thing. When I was in high school, we used to always go there. What is your coffee order? Black, either iced black coffee or black coffee. What is something you always travel with? I have to have this little charger that. has like four little USB plugs in it because my wife always takes my, my charger, so I have four cords so I can plug it into one wall and get, you know, I could charge iPad, I could charge a phone, I could charge her phone, I could charge her, so like that.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Is that the one with the adapters for the different international things? And cash, in cash. I always travel with cash. You never know. Listen, part people are like, oh, that motherfucker's got cash. Now we're going to rob them. Don't do that. I will roundhouse kick you.
Starting point is 00:38:12 But. Sometimes more than I sneak a couple dollars. Yeah, I don't doubt it. But you don't want to be stuck in a situation. Like, yeah, credit card. When we're traveling, we go for it. Cash, little cash. Not a lot, but just, you know, enough. Yeah. What was the biggest moment in your career this far?
Starting point is 00:38:27 You know, I talk about this a lot. I'm like a dog chasing a car, right? Like, I always use that analogy. Like, if I caught it, I wouldn't know what to do with it. So every time I have a milestone moment, I feel like I don't, I need to do a better job at celebrating and taking a step back. I'm like, wow, that was really great. Well, like at first I thought it was like, oh, wow, we launched jet bed. Then it was like, oh, we're like getting this client. Then it was, oh, you know, like the podcast. And it was like, dear media. I think for me, I don't necessarily celebrate. I don't look at them as milestones.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I just like constantly need to feel like I'm progressing. And I should probably do a better job at celebrating. But there's been a lot of big moments. I think probably in the last year, dear media for sure. But I'm constantly like wowed and amazed by just the podcast. And not even on the success of like on a financial side, but just like the level of conversations and people we get to meet and the audience we get to connect with. I'm all extremely grateful for that.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Like I would stop everything, but I would never stop doing this show because I just think like the connection we made with the audience and the conversations that Lauren are too interesting. Do you have a pickup line? Me now? My pickup line? Listen, it's been 10 years. I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I would be the worst. I'd be like, do we, do we buy dinner and then do we do the dance or what are we doing here? Like do I go out four times, three times? I have zero game. At this point, my game is so bad. It's been. so long that I can't even remember a time, like, I can't even remember what I did used to say, if anything. It'd be terrible. I would love to see it. It would be, I mean, it would be interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I wouldn't even know what to do. I, you know, I tried to give relationship advice on the show, but dating advice, I have no dating advice. I don't know what to do. Guys, if you're listening, I don't know how to pick up a girl. You know what? I'd probably be like, hey, my ex-wife's the skinny confidential. That'd be my line. I'd be like, that's her. I did okay with her for a while, and She seemed to like it and kept me around for a while. It didn't work out, you know. On to other questions. That would be my line.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I'd probably share a couple maybe posts of her in it, you know, just something like that. I'd be like, listen, this hot chick was into it for a while and maybe you might be too. Maybe not. I bet that would be a good line. If I was a dating app, my Tinder profile would just say, the skinny confidential is X. And I feel like I'd get some swipes. Not because of me. People would go, yeah, he's got a good resume.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah. Not because of me. They just like, oh, well, she's legit. and she saw something. Like it wouldn't even, I feel like the women wouldn't even care about me. They would just mostly care about her and be like, okay, like he might have a chance because he did something like.
Starting point is 00:40:57 They would care about your height, which is not the best. I'm fucking 5'10, okay? That's not that bad. What's your most used emoji? Probably the rock symbol, you know, the two like devil horns. I like that one. The best gift you've ever received.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Oh my God, I hate receiving gifts. I hate it. Don't ever get me gifts. You know that. Yeah. You know why? He's not a big gift guy. Because I feel like if somebody gives me a gift, I got to one up them.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I got to get him a better gift. And so it's this never-ending insecure cycle. I don't know what happened to me as a child. What's a really good- What's a really good gift? Hmm. I don't know. Oh, I had maybe the scrapbook that Lauren made you when you were little.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yeah, that was it. For sure. What about the Burydra book? She gave you for your wedding. Oh, that was good. She used to meet this book with all these naked pictures over. That was good. Yeah, that's the best gift.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Yeah, that was a good one. That was a good one. Don't give me gifts anyone. Don't send me anything. Nothing. I don't want it. Yeah, he just wants to be left alone. I get very uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I appreciate it when everyone do it. I want everyone in it. I appreciate it, but I just get very uncomfortable with the act of receiving a gift. Would you rather be sent in the mail? Because your birthday is next week. I don't want anything for my birthday. Me, do not tell people how old I am on this podcast. I'm 32.
Starting point is 00:42:08 He's 32. Yeah. Okay, here's a good one. Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? Oh, shit. 100 duck-sized horses. I feel like, hmm, do they have the abilities of a duck or a horse? Like, it's like...
Starting point is 00:42:28 It's like a full, like, power of a horse. See, I like these questions. These are more fun for me. These are more your sweet. I would rather fight 100 duck-sized horses because I feel like I could kick them and get them. Imagine the giant duck. Well, and because, think about it, they're on four legs, and their legs would be small. And so I could just kind of like step on them.
Starting point is 00:42:47 and squish them and like crush their little bones. Oh, it's like Picksie and Boone. Oh my God. Now I feel terrible. That is morbid to think about it. But I'm mad, but if you fight a fucking duck the size of a horse, dude. A duck is somewhat large. Like their beak would just, oh my God. I can't even fight a horse-sized horse. We know. It doesn't matter if it's over. No, I, yeah, a hundred duck-sized horses for sure. Because Taylor's right. Like, I can't even fight a normal-sized horse, nor would I want to. would be hilarious. Like, what's your first move if you fight a horse? Do you go for the neck, I guess? Punch it in the eye. No, you can't attack it from the rear
Starting point is 00:43:25 because it does the kick thing. Dude, have you ever seen like a serious, like, horse? Like a, I saw you ride a horse once and it was the most, like, uncoordinated thing I've ever seen. I know. My sister's can all ride horses. I never got that. You're not gifted. What was the last book you finished? I just reread Guy Jen, which is a book by James Clavel. He also wrote Shogun and Taipan and Noble House, that one. Good to Great by, I think, is Jim Collins. If not, like Taylor, we have to link correctly or Mimi link correctly. Whoever does that now.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Okay. There's another one called the last or the first tycoon or the last, no, it's the first tycoon and it's a, it's a biography by, about Cornelius Vanderbilt. That was really interesting. I can't remember the author. We have to link that. Yeah, those are the ones. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I try to read, I've done a post on this. I try to read a fiction, a nonfiction and a biography at the same. time because sometimes, you know, like fictions, they kind of keep me, you know, you can go to sleep to them. Biographies sometimes are hard and you have to, like really, they're big and meaty. And then nonfiction, sometimes they can be a little dry, so I need to disconnect from a little bit and then come back to it. If you could solve a mystery, what would it be? I would like to solve the mystery of why my wife is so fucking late all the time.
Starting point is 00:44:38 I've never been able to solve that or crack the case. Actually, you know what, I would just like to solve the mystery of women in general. I don't think men have ever been able to crack that case. Also, the reason it's an anomaly is she shows up super late to everything. And then she's mad at you. Yeah, and then she's mad at you. Like, we've got to hurry. Come on.
Starting point is 00:44:56 We can't be doing this. I'm thinking you were the one that showed up late. So it's definitely mind-boggling. Founcing off that, what is Lauren's worst habit? Late being not on time, for sure. It's not cute anymore. Lauren, I know you're listening. It's not cute anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Okay. We only have two more questions. The best vacation you've ever taken? The best vacation? Mm-hmm. There was a vacation that I did. People are going to think it's with Lauren. It's not.
Starting point is 00:45:24 There was a vacation I did when I was 14 years old with my dad. And he rented a car or bought a car. I don't remember what he did in Europe. And we drove all around together from Germany to Italy to France, I think through Switzerland at one point. And I was 14. And it was like a real bonding moment. father and son. It was like the first time I had ever really like drinking any alcohol
Starting point is 00:45:50 properly, but like, you know, properly drinking wine and like an actual restaurant and like learning how to not be an idiot while doing that. Just going to museums because at 14, you're not, we weren't going to clubs and party. He's like, it was very like a very cultural trip and it opened my eyes to the, to the possibilities of the world. And it got me very, very interested in history and learning and new cultures and just travel in general. And it was just like a really special moment for my dad and me to bond. So I think like that, was probably the best vacation that I ever got to take. And if I ever am fortunate enough to have a son or daughter, I would do something similar
Starting point is 00:46:23 like that where, you know, right before they're at the age where they can kind of run around on their own, you take them and just kind of show them the rest of the world. I think anybody that has the benefit of being able to travel, it doesn't have to be some extravagant trip or some luxury trip should do it because it broadens your eyes to the world around you. And I think you're doing yourself a disservice by not getting out there and seeing the rest of the world and seeing what different cultures look like and how different people live in different parts of the world. And so it's really important to do. What would your superpower be? Probably time travel.
Starting point is 00:46:54 That's what I said. Yeah, for sure. Time travel. That's the best one. Because you could go back and I can meet all the people that I previously wanted to meet or see and I can actually go see with my eyes. And obviously you can study history and reading books, but like going back and seeing it and also going forward. I don't know if I'd be that as interested in going forward. Yeah. Which is funny because it's interesting. Because I don't think about the past ever in my own life. Like I, there's, and there's like a screensaver I keep on my computer by Seneca. And it's like two things must be there for rooted out once for all.
Starting point is 00:47:24 It's like the fear of future suffering and the recollection of past suffering since the former concerns me not yet. And the latter does not concern anymore. I probably just butcher that, but it's like that. That sounds generally, right? Yeah. So I try not to think about the past. Like I really in my own life don't think about the past at all. I think it's counterproductive.
Starting point is 00:47:43 You don't do memory lane. No, I don't do memory lane. I'm not like, remember that time. Actually, one of my biggest pet pee is when you see somebody from a long time. They're like, hey, remember when we did all that? And it's like, okay. And then I don't, I try. I do this too much. I think about the future too much. But in my, if I could time travel, I would do the reverse. I'd go to the past more. And I probably wouldn't go to the future. It might be interesting. It might be interesting. Like, oh, maybe if I like, you can like see the next Uber coming, maybe invest in it. But I think that's not bad. But I think if you know the outcome, it's not as interesting because then you're just like rigging the system. It's more interesting to go back. Would you rather fight like Mike Tyson or talk like him for the rest of your life? What do you mean? That's the easiest thing ever. Fight? Oh, fight him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Oh, fight him. Yeah. Oh, fuck that, dude. Mike Tyson? Wait, Mike Tyson is a bad man. He's a really good podcast right now, too. And he's like, you know what's funny? He's really, like, change and he doesn't want anything to do with fighting at all.
Starting point is 00:48:33 So I feel like now he wouldn't even try, like, he wouldn't want to fight me. Even if I tried, he'd probably like, talk me out of it. Fuck, man. talk like him. I would probably have to fight him. Imagine talking like him. That would be so funny. I'd probably have to fight him. I say that very hesitantly because that would not end up well for me, but I don't think I could do the talking like that forever. Would you rather be really, really hairy everywhere or be bald? We all know how much you care about your hairline.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Oh my God, I got the weirdest small shaped head ever. It sucks. My fucking head sucks. If I didn't have this hair, I would look like a freak. You would look so strange. Like some guys like really look good bald. Like you know, you look at like Jeff Bezos. Like he's good. Like you look at like the rock. Like they're good. Like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Like he's fine. Oh, but I think I would look like a freak. Now I'm staring your head. It might be time for some more Botox. Yeah. Mimi. Just wait. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:31 How old are you? Yeah. Fuck you. Okay. Things are great. So what's your answer? I don't think I could be hairy everywhere. I think like I think about like sweating everywhere.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Oh. I think I'd have to go bald and just get like a like rock a really sick toupee. You would wear a toupee? I don't know. I think I'd or maybe like a hat. I don't know. I've never had that issue. But I feel like, you know, some guys, it's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Like Bruce Willis. Like no big deal. Like iconic. For me, I don't think so. I think it'd have to. But at the same time, I don't think I could be hairy everywhere. It sounds very uncomfortable. Would you rather always get stuck in traffic?
Starting point is 00:50:04 Like literally every time you're on your way to work, it takes like an hour. Or always have really, really slow internet connection. Uh, traffic. for sure I hate when I if my if my I almost you don't you never had to deal with this when you were a kid we used to have to tell remember we used to dial in in the phone and be like and it would like take forever and then like if somebody like if grandpa got on the line it would like disconnect your connection you'd be like grandpa get the fuck out the phone I'm on the internet and then um we had to deal with that like web page is not loading and I cannot go back to those
Starting point is 00:50:34 days like now if something doesn't load immediately I always opt in for the most expensive internet because I can't stand going slow. I got to go quick. Would you rather have your most embarrassing moment captured and put on social media or face your greatest fear? Like me finding your beard cream. Well, first of all, the embarrassing moments are put on social media every day by my wife. So that's already happening. So that.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Would you rather be a foot and a half taller or, or no, would you rather be a foot and a half shorter or a foot in general? Wait, what? Why would I want to be a foot in general? Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Why? No, you know what? So I have the option of being one foot tall or, what would have matters? Or four foot?
Starting point is 00:51:25 Or let's be real. Three eight. No, I'm five, ten. I'll fucking stand on anything that anyone wants you to. So that's a no to the foot in general? I would not want to be a foot tall. Like, what the fuck am I going to do there? You'd be so small.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I don't think that's even humanly possible. No, I mean, we dress you like a baby. You'd wear onesies. No, I would not want to do that. I'd probably just have to be like four foot something. That's fine. Michael, you'd be three foot something. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:51:54 You'd be able to have really good social media presence. It's so true. You'd be like the smallest man in the world. Easily. Oh, wow. What a great trade-off. You're one foot tall, but you have all the fame and all the money. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Perfect. Your wife could carry you around in her handbag. Oh yeah. I'm sure she'd love that. Would you rather fight Mike Tyson or have to live with 10 Lawrence? What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I would rather live with 10 Lawrence. I could have a 11-some every night.
Starting point is 00:52:27 You're like sister wives. I don't want to fight Mike Tyson unless it's like the last thing in the world that I have to do. Like, fuck that. I think I should have picked more like scenario ones. You're right. But this is for people to get to know you. and they didn't know these other things before. Well, hopefully they know me a little bit more now.

So Mimi will see it, and she can help structure some shows. Maybe Lauren and I could do a version of like what-ifs one time. That'd be kind of fun. That'd be good.
