I think you could monetize it. I think you can monetize anything. Okay? They have these devices that will beep. Did you blow in my mind right now? This guy owned a bar or restaurant or a nightclub, and he created a fake profile of a very pretty girl and set up dates for like dozens or hundreds of men

to meet at that bar or restaurant. And it works. Like it just drove a ton of customers and they all got ghosted, but then they were there. I'm going to share some crazy things. Are you ready for a crazy story, Chris? He has over 10 million followers. And literally, all he does is...

Welcome to the Kerner office. It's Friday. Therefore, it's Holtco Bros. Nick and I are going to talk about some cool business ideas. And this is part two of last week's Holtko Bros. Sometimes we record a double episode and we split it up. So one quick note, we had a glitch in last week's episode. We included a segment that was supposed to be in this week's episode,

which was about using chat GPT inside of Google Sheets, which I'm really excited for. So you may have got a sneak peek last week, but that was a different episode. entirely. So we're going to play that whole segment again this week. You might not have heard it. Anyway, don't stop listening because you start hearing a segment that sounds familiar because all of the other segments are new. So enjoy. You're going to love this one. Please share with a friend. We'll see you next time. Have you used AI in a spreadsheet much? Like not uploading a spreadsheet to chat GPT, but oh man, it is so cool. So here's what I did. So there's this Google Sheets extension called, I think it's called GPT for Sheets. And it's Dirtcheats. And it's Dirt Cheats.

cost almost nothing. And you basically type in a formula equals GPT. And then in parentheses, you put a prompt and then you put comma and then the cell that you're referring to. And so there's just so many use cases here. I did this for my newsletter. Like, I would love the first names of as many of my newsletter subscribers as possible. Because when I email them, I could include the first names. And it'll help your deliverability because all of the carriers will see that each email is unique.

and it seems more personalized. Like people know I'm not writing them personally, but it just feels better. Right. It just shows better. And you can put in what's called fallback values to where if you can't get their first name, then you could just say like,

for Texas Next, what I do is howdy, comma, and then if I have their first name, it'll put their first name. If I don't, it'll just put partner. So it's like either way, I don't look like an idiot, right? It's also not like I get all the time in Twitter. Hey, co-founders.

Are you worried about, I'm like, it's not, anyways, keep going. So on my subscribe page, if I were to ask for their first name, then I'd lose 20 to 30% of subscribers. So I don't, it's not worth that much to me. Really? Yeah, it's just more friction. Okay.

But I still want them. And so there are services where you can append data. There's one called Norbert, where you can upload a list. And it's going to go to LinkedIn. It's going to go all over the internet and say, all right, we think, you know, this guy's email is johnsmith at gmail.com. His name is going to be John. We think it matches at this.

Right. Sometimes it'll use logic just by doing it that way. And sometimes it'll actually like connect the random, you know, Dragon Slayer at gmail.com email to a LinkedIn profile and then use their first. So Norbert and, you know, its competitors work about 30, 40, 50% of the time. But this GPT for sheets is awesome because it can do it as well. So I used it for two different things. So for perfume vending, for instance, we have.

a type form where we require their first name. But some people are idiots and they type in like a question. Like, hey, I want to know the price of it. And it says that's their first name. It's like, that's not helpful. And some people don't put it because it's not. I don't know if it's, we asked for it, but it's not like a required field, but most people put it in.

And then some people just type gibberish. And so I exported all the perfume vending leads to a Google sheet. I typed in a formula that's like, hey, most of these are first names. Some of them are all caps. Some of them have no caps. I want you to standardize them, make them all grammatically correct. if someone just writes a sentence and like there's no first name of any nationality found in that sentence, leave it blank.

Like it's a really long prompt. And then if it's like if it's all caps, just make it good. If it's like gibberish, like people just hit the keyboard, then just leave it blank. And then you drag it down, boom, good to go. What? And it costs like a fraction of a fraction of a penny per row. Dude, you blow in my mind right now because like data integrity is such a big problem, especially when you're trying to do any type of analysis.

that was a big issue with all the leads that we got for perfume vending is people would put like we let me back up here when you're asking people for information you can do it one of two ways you can leave it free text or you can give them drop downs and when we ask them where they're from these weren't drop downs it was like where are you from so some people like they just misspelled Maryland or like Michigan or South Africa like and so I had to go in manually and find these ones and sort and clean up the data. I had to do a lot of manual data cleanup, especially for large data sets.

That's incredible. Yeah. So then let's say you don't have first names. You just have an email address. Then the prompt is, hey, all I have is an email address. Can you like discern what the first name is? And if you can't, like reasonably with 70% accuracy,

just leave it blank. Then, because a lot of times it's like Smithjohn at gmail.com. His name is John. It's not Smith, right? A lot of times it's like John's 7727, 27, Oh, it's John. And sometimes it's like mixed in there. And it's really, really good for that.

And it costs almost nothing. So now what I did was I went to my newsletter. I exported every single one. I drug it down. And now I have first names for like most of my emails. But it doesn't end there. Go ahead. Go ahead.

So tell me the name of the plugin again. GPT for sheets. Okay. So GPD for sheets. And then I just go in a cell equals GPT. And then I tell it what I, Open parentheses. Open parentheses, prompt, comma, cell number. And then you drag it down. And then close parentheses. Could you do it where it's like prompt comma column, right? So it's like, I want you to find me the most common name in this column. Let's just say. Boom. And then it'll be like, John. Like, will it do that type of information? Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. You can already upload spreadsheets to chat GPT. Like you recommended a podcast. I listened to it yesterday.

by the way, very, very good. And he was talking about he exports his YouTube analytics, uploads it to Chad GPC and says, hey, like, what are some commonalities here? Like, that's cool. But this is like hyper, hyper granular, which I love. And so for all of these co-founder applications we have, you know, we've gotten 30,000 co-founder applications and like a third of them fill out a 28 minute long type form asking all kinds of questions about businesses that they started, what they've done that's impressive, what school, when are they graduating? And we look at this and we're like, what do we do? with this. Okay, we could like do control find Harvard. Like that guy might be interesting,

but that's like that gets you 1% of the way there, you know, because we don't care about Harvard. Like we want a guy that built a Chrome extension from his dorm room and like, hacked into the university servers, right? But that's in his story. That's not like, we don't have a drop down that says, did you hack into your university servers? And so we could totally make a prompt that's like, all right, here's our grading criteria. We want students that have actually done something. Maybe it was a lemonade stand, but like they have to have already started a business. We don't care what their revenue was. We want students that have an eye for entrepreneurship, that are ideas people. We want students to do you don't care about GPA, ignore, like assign zero

weight to GPA, zero weight to school, zero weight to graduation date. This is what we're looking for? Drag it down. Score them one to ten. I'm on Google Workplace Marketplace, Google Workplace, GPD for Sheets by Tilarian It's got some weird look, it's like blue background with some stars on it.

Sounds about right. Yeah, I'm installing it. But I do, if you're listening to this and you want to use this, you've got to go to Open AI, get a $20 account,

a month account if you don't already have it, and get an API key because GPT for sheets will allow you to use your own API key and it costs especially almost nothing then. Because these things are really cheap on the surface, but the longer your prompt gets, your input, and the longer of an output you're asking for,

the more it's going to cost you. So across thousands of rows, it actually can get expensive, so you want to use your own API key. Oh, so you actually need to go and get your API. No, but you'll save a lot of money if you do. All right. Keep going with your idea because I'm all over the place at this point.

No, that's it. I'm going to make a YouTube video about this. I'm going to, like, share my screen and I promise you, listeners, you will hear this in a week, two weeks, three weeks, I promise you I will come with ideas based on just using this Chrome extension. It's just the ability to clean up the data. Yeah. It's a big deal. Like right now, if I want to go in and take a look at your financials and say like, what's something that you're spending an exorbitant amount of money on, I got to go filter it through our way.

I got to put in some formulas to show me which percentages. Like there's a million things I have to do just to get to the point where I can make the assessment, where I can do the analysis. this could clean it up for me so much faster. Anyways, that's incredible. Yeah, another use case is, I tweeted about this a month or two ago, but if you wanted to serve local businesses, sell them something,

you could use outscraper to it. Are you with me, Nick? I am. Nick. Nick. Kind of. Yes, okay. He's not with me one way.

Now he's not with me another. I know. Frischy right now, okay? Is that what you wanted me to say? Tone it down. Tone the excitement down. Okay, go ahead. I need you to act less like yourself.

Like your wife always asks you to do. Don't be yourself so much. It's annoying. Okay. No, like imagine you go to Outscraper. You say, you know what? I want to sell customer service software to nail salons. Okay.

You scrape all of the one star reviews for nail salons in the country. And then you use, you put them in Google sheets. You use GPT for sheets to say, what are like the most common repeated words in this? Dirty, late, closed, rude, right? And then you can build software around the complaints. Or conversely, show me all the five-star reviews. What are you hearing the most? Boom, boom, boom. Wow, okay, there's a correlation between number of reviews and the word delicious. How can I monetize that? Like, there's just endless ways you can use this. I'm really curious to use it right now because there are times

where I get data and I'm like, I don't know how to sort this because it's just in a funky format. And so I'll go to chat GPT and I'll say, this is the data I have. This is the format. It's in. I'm trying to do X, Y, or Z, write me a script for how to parse this data. And it'll be like, okay, do and it'll tell me whatever to write. This could eliminate just even go to chat TPT. I could just write in here and tell it what I want. Anyways, this freaking. I don't love it.

All right. What do you got? What do you got? Two options for you. Newsletters or dating. Let's do dating. Okay. So I was talking to somebody this morning that we both know.

Her name is Kelly. she is our executive assistant and she was complaining to me about her Bumble interactions and just how stupid men are just texting out of the blue, right? When you're trying to get laid, you say stupid stuff and that shows up in the DMs.

So anyways, I was thinking about it and I started doing some research. I'm going to share some crazy things, okay? Are you ready for the craziest stat you've ever heard around dating? How crazy are we talking? Kind of scared.

so crazy, you're going to hang up this call and start a business right now. I don't want to. I don't want to. Yes. Yes, I want to know. Tom, no, 30 years ago, what was the number one way that people met their spouse? Hmm, I don't know. School in person?

Through friends. Like down at the soda shop. I don't know. World War I. I don't know. Through friends. Okay. What's the number one way today that people meet their space?

Online. Online. Online. And it's cool, but there's something I think that we miss in meeting people online, and it's the social proof. Like when you met someone through your friends, it was like, oh, I know, Gary, I'm friends with him. You should go on a date with him.

It's like, oh, Lauren said I should go on a date with him. Okay, cool. I'll go on a date with them. But when you go to these online dating sites, yes, you have a lot more access. You can talk to people. You see their profile. You see all this stuff. But as far as I don't, like, there's no social.

proof. Even on LinkedIn, and you've seen where on LinkedIn, it's like people can write recommendations, right? Yep. Or like Sam Parr posted one time. He's like, hey, a friend of mine is looking for a date and he got a ton of people reaching out to him. I don't see any of that in the dating world.

I just see it as, this is me, you're putting your best foot forward, and then people are reaching out to you. And it just has created this really weird dynamic. Let me ask you, though, do you know how big the online dating industry is? Revenue per year. No idea. It's about $10 billion. It's actually $9,000.

Call it actually $9 billion. By 2031, it's projected to be at $13 billion. So as far as like an annualized growth rate, it's about 7%, which is crazy good for a general industry. So it's only growing, it's growing like crazy, and you're dealing with this problem where you don't have the same social checks to get people comfortable with dating one another. So I started thinking. And these are like just ideas. What are some ways that you could actually facilitate this connection? So you could start a business around local sports leagues that are just for singles.

I know that that exists, but I'm just throwing it out there. You could start a local newsletter. You know the newsletter economics, just for singles. You could also scrape the APIs. or integrate with the APIs of Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, that was a joke. You had to. You had to.

I had to do Tinder or Bumble and just build another site where you can link to somebody's social proof, right? It's almost like, hey, these are my letters of recommendation that you can go and look at. These are my friends and these are links to their social profiles so you can see that they're actual real people. But if I would do this and figure out a way, I don't have the answer, but there's a huge opportunity here.

If I were to do it, I would start local. I would start with finding people on. I would be local. Find people in my local market. And I would start building a network there and figure out what the best way to facilitate that social proof is and then try to roll it out. Do the same things that I would do in growing a local newsletter, but I would just grow it locally for local singles.

And then I would either do a sports league or I tend to go sports league because I think being active and physical is a really good way to have interaction. But there could be other, like you could have an improv league. You could have cooking classes. Like there's a whole other thing, but it's like just geared towards singles. What do you think?

So is your attempt to pull people off the apps into person, more in person stuff? My, my attempt is to use the apps to funnel them to in person things. So it's like, cool, go on the apps, find who you like. But maybe you don't want to go on a date with that person.

Maybe you don't want to be one-on-one with them. We're Mormon. We grew up. When you turned 16, you weren't supposed to just date one-on-one. You dated in groups. So it's like facilitate a group environment for people that maybe are uncomfortable with just going the one-on-one route and have that facilitate relationships. Could be a dating app for introverts, too.

I don't know. You don't care, do you? You really don't care. No, I'm just trying to think. I don't know enough about like, I've never owned a dating app, right? Ever. And so I'm very. I've never been on a dating app.

Right, right. Here's some thoughts that come to mind. First of all, an interesting growth hack that I saw was this guy owned a bar or restaurant or a nightclub, and he created a fake profile of a very pretty girl and set up dates for like dozens or hundreds of men to meet at that bar or restaurant. Okay. And it works. Like, it just drove a ton of customers and they all got ghosted, but then they were there. So it's pretty smart, right?

It's the thing. That's a pretty good growth factor. I think that any business built on the theory that people are coming offline more is a good business. I love that thesis and I agree with it. Like the mechanics of it, I can't wrap my mind around. I don't know. Yeah, it was just an idea that I had this morning where it's like there has to be a way to provide the same social proof and facilitate these social connections in the real world. it's fine to meet people online.

I think that's really good because you don't have this awkward of getting to know someone and what do they really think and all that stuff. You can kind of just see it up front. What if it was something like you, like let's say Nick,

you're the business owner. You're the aggregator of the people here. And you go find like in Dallas, it would be like Clyde Warren Park, which is like a nice park downtown. It's built over and overpass. It's kind of hipster. It's close to everything.

You could organize meetups for specifically targeted to people. that are on dating apps, like active on dating apps. And people could have their first date there. That way, like everyone at the event, which is at a public place, so you don't have to go rent something expensive. They're all like, they're in the shared experience. They're all on this awkward first date together.

And they might end up meeting someone there. Genius. That is the ultimate fit for them. Now, maybe somebody who's listening. And maybe somebody who's listening that is in this world. And they're like, yeah, that already exists. And we just don't know because we're not single. It's called a party.

tech this will go viral we're going to get canceled it's like tech bros discover a party but it's like when we went to s m bash or when we went to main street it's all these people who met on twitter and now they're meeting in real life and you you there are functions there that allow you to meet people in person it's the same thing right like everybody's on tinder so they may like recognize a profile picture but then there are activities that are designed to get people to interact So it's like not a party in the sense that it's a general free for all. Like, oh, cool, the punches over there and music's playing and everyone just dances. It's like, okay, you come.

Maybe there's some speed dating. I was just going to say that. You like literally. And maybe there's like sports. I really like improv because I think it's fun to see how people think. Like maybe there's an improv thing. And you can choose the different activities that you do. But that would like facilitate and posture it.

All right. We landed on something good here. Once again, Chris and Nick are super unique. This one's good. This is a good one. Like this idea, this one. This idea.

The app idea though. Dude, no, it could be, it could like, let's say you take a restaurant and you reserve like the back room, right, for parties, like 30, 40, 50 people. And the only people that are invited or allowed to come and you could charge a fee at the door are people that will be on their first date with someone that they met on an online dating app. It has to be a first date, and they never have to have met them before. And it must be from an online dating app. And then you get them there and then you gamify it. Right. Maybe you do improv.

Maybe you do karaoke. Maybe you do speed dating. Maybe you do all three. And you can even gamify it to where it's like you go open minded and you might end up with the same person. Like you might get there. Maybe you get there. And intentionally you spend like 20 or 30 minutes with that person that you came with,

getting to know them for the first time. It's like, all right, now we're doing speed dating. And you have like two or three minutes with everyone there. And then at the end of it, it's like, all right, raise your hand if you want to stay with the same person or not for the rest of the night. And you could switch, right? Or you can even make it blind, right? Make it blind or else human psychology will get into play.

And it's like, all right, here's a piece of paper right here. If you want to stay with the same person or switch. And then like someone gets on stage and it would be really awkward, but it's like, it is what it is. or or you copy Nick Gray and you make it exclusive and like you plan the experience and anybody who comes that doesn't participate well you kick them out like you're very exclusive you're gated with who comes in but before the event you send out a list here's everybody who's attending you can go look at their profiles here like it's it's very

clear like you're going to this to try and find someone to date but you're not necessarily assigned to anybody up front but you can go and you look at you look at you look at you looking like, oh, Chris is going to be there? Oh, cool. He's an Alabama fan. Oh, all right. I went to Alabama. Oh, Nick's going to be there? Okay. I like that. It could be my sister, though. Could be my sister. You got to watch out for that. Yeah. That's true. It's not funny. It's not funny. It's an epidemic in the South, okay? But you would go and you'd have some information before you went, and then that would make the party more enjoyable because you at least know who's there. You've seen their profiles, maybe you have a list of like, these are the five people I want to talk to.

And essentially, you're just facilitating a meetup, but you're focusing on the niche of dating. And you could do this with any niche. You could facilitate meetups focusing on the niche of SMB. You could facilitate meetups focusing on the niche of disc golf players. Like, you know what I mean? Like it could be any niche. It's funny because like, you don't have to pay for a venue because they're buying their own food and drinks, right? So they reserve the room for you because they know you're going to be paying customers.

you just charge like a door charge, the 20, 30, 40 bucks at the door for this whole experience, and that's how you make money. Yeah, you don't have to control any, you don't have to control the venue, the menu, the seating, none of it. Have you seen Black Mirror? Have you ever seen that on Netflix?

No. They have an episode that's like this where it's like social proof. Everyone has like a social credit score. And so for instance, like let's say you walk out of a store and you don't hold the door open for someone. And the girl's like, rude. She'll pull out her phone and like scan your face. and leave you a bad review as a person.

And then your reviews, it like tallies up to like a score. And everyone is driven by like their score. Like what's your score? Oh, it just dropped. And like people are getting good scores all the time. But occasionally they'll get like a negative review that will drop their score that everyone can see and they like stress out over it. It kind of reminds me of that.

Like it's like a crowd sourced. Are you a good person? Yeah. And it's like there is a benefit to that and there's a downside. I just think in situations where there's really, that are really high risk is the wrong word. Leverage maybe. High stakes. High stakes.

Dating is one of them because you're trying to find your spouse like your mate for the rest of your life. Starting a business could be one of them. You want to have some type of social proof. Like you're looking for that because you're making a decision with almost no information. You want to gather as much as you can. It's such an important decision. I like it. That's a good one.

Thank you. I like ideas that like you don't have to build an app for. Right? Like you can use the apps to build something in person for low tech. We're not what our wives would call like smart, you know? No. No. They're good looking or attractive to them on most days.

Or decent providers. Good father. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Or who I would have chosen had I had it to be all over again. Or our first choice. You know, for like.

I mean, they call me fallback Chris for a reason, you know. Plan B, Chris. Oh, my gosh. All right. I got one. I got one. So there's this guy on social media called the dumpster dive king. And he has over 10 million followers.

And literally, all he does is dumpster dive. That's it. And he has a GoPro and he dives for dumpsters and he finds things. And sometimes people confront him. They're like, what are you doing here? This is private property. And he's like, no, it's not. because according to ordinance,

blah, blah, the city, I am allowed to be here. Of course. So that's like, that's good content.

The biggest reason why he's so viral is because of the payoff at the end of these videos. What's he going to find? It's a treasure hunt, right? This goes to like a previous episode,

talking about treasure hunts. Like, it is human nature's first principles. We want to know what's at the end of the rainbow. Like what's in the box? Like, we want the payoff. And the algorithms want the payoff

because it means high retention. So, I did a deep dive on the dumpster dive king and was enthralled by it because it's just a video with him voicing over it. Like he's not really talking while he's dumpster diving. Right. He's like, oh, I found these golf clubs. Oh, these are $400 golf clubs. So people love it because they're like typing like, that's not a $400 golf club.

That's a $300 golf club. Oh, it would just continue. And like everyone has an opinion on what he's finding. Everyone wants to get to the end to see what he finds. And so it's just, it's a brilliant business as far as social media is concerned. but then he took it a step further. And he sells all the stuff he finds on his own website, lost goods.com,

which is a very, very ugly website, but a very smart thing to do. And I would bet that most of his sales come from eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, the big marketplaces. And then this is just kind of like the 5, 10% of his sales. It's a good name because it's like Lost Goods. No, they're stolen from the trash goods,

but you've rebranded it to Lost Goods. You know what I mean? It is good. But I like this idea because it reminds me exactly of an idea I had three years ago. So three years ago, I was living in Houston for six months. And we lived in a neighborhood that had its own 18-hole disc golf course. And so I played disc golf with the kids and it was fine. But what we really loved was wading through the ponds and the ditches looking for lost disc golf discs.

and it's very simple. You take off your shoes and there was a creek. The neighborhood is called Cross Creek Ranch. So there was a creek that went across the neighborhood and you would just kind of waddle

through this knee-deep creek and you would feel plastic in your toes. And you reach down, you pick it up. It's like, oh, it's a disc. And some of these discs are quite valuable. They could be hundreds of dollars. Most of them are like $10 to $30.

But it's still, it's like, I just found $20. I just found $3.20 bucks. I just found $3.20 stacked on top of each other because this is like a honeyhole work. You know, the wind always carries it to this spot. And it was so fun. Like male, female, old, young.

It's your treasure hunting. And I never sold. I never sold any of them. They're still in my garage. We've lost a bunch of them. A lot of times people will write their name and number on the back of the desk in Sharpie. And so that was fun too. Because then you get to play like hero and text them like, I got your disc.

Come get it. And it's just, it was very fun. So the idea. I think you could monetize it. I think you can monetize anything. They have these devices that will beat if it sees plastic or if it senses plastic of some sort in a certain vicinity. And so I think you could build a tool where you could easily find these disks and

literally monetize it by just finding and selling these discs. And then you can monetize it by selling that tool. And then you can monetizing it, you could monetize it by filming everything. And it's the same principle as the dumpster dive king. want to know, what are you reaching in the murky water for? What's coming out? There are guys doing this with golf balls. Like, there are people that have built a decently sized business on social media, posting content about finding golf balls and then selling the golf balls on their website because people want to support them. So you're starting a social media channel, but you've

thought about the ways you'd monetize it. It's not just the reviews. You'd also have a store that you'd resell this stuff. Yeah, you could monetize it by, but it's not done. So I went and bought a domain name when I had this idea, which isn't saying much because I buy all the domain name. In fact, at one point, I owned 70% of the domain names in the world. Fun fact. Actually, hold on a second. Hey, Siri, remind me to buy all the domain names.com. Okay. Okay. Okay. Anyway, the domain name I owned was waterfines.com, which is so similar to lost goods.com. Yeah. Two words. Like, and that the idea was to do this, and then

to sell everything I found on this website. And is this going to be a $10 million business? No. Could it be a seven-figure business? Yeah, I genuinely believe it could be, even without social media. But I think someone should do this. I went and I let the domain name expire and now it's like a premium domain name for 10 grand. Someone, like it's not worth 10 grand.

It's not so like I am. But like, yeah, if I wanted to buy it back, it'd be 10 grand. Waterfines. I love that idea. Fun. Get you out, doing stuff with your kids. That's awesome. Absolutely. Someone needs to do it.

Okay. Let's recap these ideas and then marry date or kill them. So we have first GPT for sheets, which is a tool that allows you to use AI in either cleaning your data or just helping you build out your spreadsheets. There is facilitating local dating events or just any niche group facilitating those types of events. and then there is water fines where you are starting a channel and posting that content and then either reselling the stuff online or monetizing from the channel that you can launch. All right, Chris, Mary, date, and kill, which ones? Now, how are we monetizing GPT for sheets? I don't think we explicitly said how we're monetizing GPT for sheets.

I think there's a lot of different applications that you have for it, but it's just like implementing it in your business. I mean, we could theoretically just charge a fee to clean someone's data with it. right we start for free say hey hey i'm launching this business i'm really good at cleaning data i use i use ai right we could just go ahead and say that can i do it for free yeah yeah is it helpful all right what would you pay for this right and then you kind of start pricing your way into it go the old the old shout out to brandon doyle method and charge basically nothing to start and just keep raising your prices until you start to get pushed back bd that's right all right brandon

Brandon Doyle rules. All right. Just, baby, very date kill. Ooh. Oh, this is tough.

It's like dependent on like the time of life that you're in. No, no, I stop horrifying. Just say it. Yeah. Mary GPT for Sheets. Date waterfines,

kill dating idea. Okay. Mary GPT for Sheets, date, facilitating local events, and kill waterfines. that makes sense i would have guessed that for you as well okay so we both said to marry gpd for sheets i think that to me that's like there's so many applications like you could start a ton of businesses

or you could just make your own business more efficient like there's a ton of reasons why did you want to date the waterfines because it's really really fun and i would love it it would be a grind to get to a meaningful amount of money but it would just be so fun and i like i'm an introvert like organizing events, like, that gives me anxiety. So it's not really a knock on the business model or idea. It's me. It's me. It's you.

I didn't like the water find because I think it'd be a grind. It would take so long to get it monetized. Like if I have something else that I'm doing that's making me money and I want to have a side hustle or whatever, I think it's a cool channel to do. And I think it's a fun thing to do with your kids. But I think for anybody listening who wants to just like start it as a business, I think it would be really, really hard. So for me, that's why I killed it.

I didn't put the dating as number one. I think it's much harder to spin up than utilizing the GPT for sheets. I think utilizing GPD for sheets you can do really quickly. The dating or facilitating niche groups, I think is really, really difficult to get spun up. Also, the dating thing,

as far as we know, this could exist, we could sound like idiots right now to half the population. As far as we know, isn't really a thing. And that just makes me nervous, right? I don't want to invent something new.

Yeah. Yeah. So let us know what you guys think. Mary date or kill. All right. That's a wrap. Bye, man. All right, what did you think?
