3:15

Law Smith
3:36

3:38
Yeah, I guess so. We'll see.
Law Smith
3:41
Well, I've got my nicotine gum in I'll go for you. I don't smoke I don't do any. I don't have any nicotine habit. But I was like I heard nicotine gum gums good friend just getting nicotine is gum. I think I'm tripping over my words because of this that and you're a bit dumb today. I'm hyped up nicotine gum. I'm a little hyped up Yeah, for things not related to the show just hyped up. Oh, I had some meetings had a call right before this. A lot of big meeting big meetings. I'm a big important businessman. I'm an oil man. What? I drink your milk. I drink it a lot. That's my Daniel Day Lewis. Thank you. Why don't you
4:26
that's a good segue actually.
Law Smith
4:28
Why did I do no impression no that's the same fail noise bubble uses Oh really? Yeah. So Bubba the love sponge for those uninitiated out of the Tampa Bay area if you're in the Tampa Bay area you know him as like pretty much a shock jock radio legend even not in Tampa man. No, he's been in a lot of markets. Don't get me wrong, but I'm saying like primarily, everybody knows him here. Whether they listen to him or not. He was a on the biggest station forever growing up here. I'm 36 you're 37 No, yeah, yeah. And so pretty much since I could remember radio I've, I've kind of made him synonymous with that. So not to fanboy out because they're gonna rip us a new one and I've yet still fanboy. I have yet to listen to the whole thing I listen to listen to the whole thing. I listen to three minutes sounds like I got it. And once said, once you texted you hit me. You slapped me, right as I was listening to it. And I was like, Oh, we should just go over this on air. And just go over all the hates.
5:27
Yeah, that was your idea.
Law Smith
5:28
We had. It was your idea. Was it? Yeah. Well, yeah. So I said three weeks is you suck me
5:34
about. I don't even know how to find the best way to do this. So we had
5:37
Ana Pumas. It's playing
5:39
right now. Joe is based
2
Speaker 2
5:40
out of Tampa, Florida. And they got these two guys, these two dudes on here. Won't be fun. We break this down. Yeah, so I was like,
1
Speaker 1
5:49
who is fun? It's fun to be like pot, right? Even if you get roasted. I don't even give a shit.
Law Smith
5:58
We're dead on the inside. Don't get me wrong, though. Good. Yeah, a bit of controversy within this show. Well, within their their world will so as
3
Speaker 3
6:07
I can't let it play in the background. Yeah, they they launched into us. Before we
Law Smith
6:13
break. I want to get you down a bit. Talking.
6:16
segment that on. It's just which I think we have.
3
Speaker 3
6:19
We have not really gone through this and like marked it out to the point where it's like, oh, at this point, we want to talk about this and all that.
Law Smith
6:27
Yeah, I'm just gonna go through some ads to the beginning.
3
Speaker 3
6:29
Yeah, but you can hear you know, and yeah, I don't have a good way to do that. Because the funny The funny thing is, the first thing they do is make fun of our production. Right, which is fun. Now I'm sitting here going
6:41
Am I gonna fucking deal? Yeah.
6:45
I mean, I guess you're right. This is the bubble.
Law Smith
6:48
Yeah, you gotta you gotta. You gotta geek it through a little bit. We're not but we're not. Look, we're doing this just the two of us. It's not and let's face it, you're doing the majority of the work. shit on the production side. Yeah. What so we had their, their lady mic on their fourth mic on Ana, who is you know, the, the POV of female perspective. She's a friend of mine. So I thought, I know. She came on like two months ago, six weeks ago, whatever. And they want they want to pry into her her, her relationship history. Her and I went out on a couple dates met through Bible, yada, yada, yada, right. not that interesting, honestly.
7:29
Yeah. Other than but when you do a little bit go, yeah. Other than that, when you said that to her?
Law Smith
7:34
Yeah, that's fine. That's a sloppy money. It's no good shit. It works like 10% of the time when you go out. Yeah. Well, I don't hurt her recounting of the story. I don't. I don't really think that's how it went down. But that's what's interesting about kind of perspectives like it is that thing no matter what, no matter what, I think the truth was, right. Yeah. Did I know it's wrong? Right. And same, same. It's that thing of like, she said, he said, he said it's somewhere in the middle.
3
Speaker 3
8:06
Yeah. And I know you're worried about the me to stuff.
Law Smith
8:10
No, I just I am I declared,
8:12
it is time for me to ask you to make out.
Law Smith
8:15
Yeah, I talked to my lawyer. I I'd rather ask maybe. Then try to feel it out. Now. You got to remember, we got this was fresh off separation. This was January 2019. So this is a long time ago. Oh, wow.
8:34
I know that thought long ago.
Law Smith
8:35
The first time we hung out was super bowl. Raya. After the Super Bowl Rams. patriots. We have met before she claims we didn't. We met when she was on our friend Johnny B's podcast. She said a local radio station. She didn't talk. I don't think I think I came on as a guest and she was not on the mic or hot on the mic at least. Okay. But I definitely met her before we met in person. Which she says we didn't I just like that. There's a this is a fun. I so what we did right before this podcast? Is I they they chewed on us yesterday morning. Yeah, there's the army podcast, which is huge twitch following huge following. one of those things where it's a huge following in this in this lane that no one brought it up to me not to trash them. But I'm just saying, usually one or two friends that were on two bears one cave, when Bert called us. I probably have 30 people. Yeah, yeah. And that was just Hey, that was just my voice. Right? What's going on?
3
Speaker 3
9:39
Yeah. This one actually has some teeth. This one has a little bit of fun stuff to it. And we're probably
Law Smith
9:46
adding a little kerosene to it. Oh, but so here's here's the background. The money's not there.
2
Speaker 2
9:51
So guess what, what are these places get like 50 bucks.
Law Smith
9:54
They're talking about running jobs and stuff.
3
Speaker 3
9:56
Yeah. So just so you guys know this is in my house. studios, my house isn't my guest bedroom, kind of. But this is not us renting something out or renting it out to other people. Although we did try to do that. I'm wondering where they're pulling all that. I guess they were just on the old website didn't make it this far. Well, Oh, you didn't make it four minutes in
Law Smith
10:17
No. Week. It's like, we're gonna go over here. I'd rather have fresh eyes.
10:22
Oh, really fresh ears. Well, then we got to do all this and
10:26
just have a constant rotation of humanity that wanted to do.
4
Speaker 4
10:29
There's not enough. There's 900 million podcasts. Yeah, I mean, just having one or two, maybe?
10:33
Well, so an extra room somewhere. So
Law Smith
10:35
we're in your guest room doing this. We were we weren't in office about a year ago. And previously before that for the
3
Speaker 3
10:44
three prior, they're starting to talk about this, this business idea they have about run podcasts through that we were doing. Yes. It's like, well, that's what we were doing. We can help them with that. But then some jackass and pay the rent.
Law Smith
10:56
To me, yeah. I let my personal problems get in the way. Hey, failure is part of entrepreneurship. That's for sure.
11:04
Got it turned down. But
Law Smith
11:05
yeah, partnership is not without failure. And you learn from failure. I let a lot of my personal shit get in the way. I've talked about it on the show. And I was depressed and just fucked up. And I still kind of getting out of it. Still mostly out of it. But it's one of those things that, uh, you know, for what it is? Hey, they thought it was a studio. Well, yeah, I guess I mean, I'm gonna try to be like, very, I'm gonna be like my mom about this and just be very optimistic. And look at you guys. Sure.
3
Speaker 3
11:34
Well, I guess we should just kind of break down what's going on. So like, basically, they found out that Ana did our podcast and
Law Smith
11:42
then they dove deeper divided by your SEO doing? Yeah, right. Yeah, we put their name in the in the headline. Yeah, isn't? Yeah. Or they were googling on it. Or that? Yeah, they're probably doing that.
3
Speaker 3
11:53
So either way. Doesn't matter. Actually the ladder? Yeah. Um, so they, they came across it. And, you know, they found out that you guys had dated?
Law Smith
12:05
Yeah, we went on in two days. Yeah.
12:07
And then they
3
Speaker 3
12:10
listened to the podcast, right. But they found out that I asked her out after that. Yeah. And then they hit us up to come on the show to try and do this against one another. And
Law Smith
12:19
the timelines don't really match because you didn't even know is like a year and a half ago. Right.
2
Speaker 2
12:28
This is our talk. This is the sweat equity show that you are on? Yeah, podcast. Yeah. I was asked by one of the guys to do it. And it says it's number 55. And it's how to fail upwards in radio with Baba luffa sponges on a humble. They're trying to put me over. And I appreciate that. I appreciate them promoting the brand. Yeah, I don't have a problem with them. I have a problem with you.
Law Smith
12:58
I definitely didn't.
3
Speaker 3
12:59
Well, it sure doesn't seem that way. But very easily.
2
Speaker 2
13:02
Yeah. Now. Now, I will tell you this man. Does. Now it's just their most. This is their most watched video I've
13:14
seen so you can look for that. How many.
13:16
But you can sort their channel by views.
13:18
How many views Don't be modest. Donna?
Law Smith
13:21
I'm curious. So you brought it down? They basically made fun of our YouTube channel.
3
Speaker 3
13:24
Yeah, that's all good. We don't really the YouTube for the record. Everything embedded on our website through Vimeo. Yeah, audio podcast. That's what we're primarily focused.
Law Smith
13:35
So we hit about YouTube, we got the small but well here I'll extrapolate it out or if we let's look at but I can use Baba as an example. Huge twitch following like this whole other world I don't even know about I just signed in today to get in their live chat because they're talking about us this morning about me? Well, I was just like, let me check this out. We've been talking about we need to get on Twitch or check this out. Or at least look into it.
13:57
You know, set it up a while ago.
Law Smith
13:59
Look, you're doing a lot. You're spending a lot of plates. So it's not like you're not I need to carry my way. But it's that thing of like, let's check out. People don't know how big they have a huge following over here. Right? Yeah. And a lot of people would know what goes
3
Speaker 3
14:15
back to you being like, No, nobody really hit us up from this or it's like, Hey, I heard john Baba. Yeah, that's a good indicator. No, it's not so much that it's
Law Smith
14:23
quite a social butterfly. I would say no, it would
3
Speaker 3
14:26
just say audience isn't necessarily that and the audience is over here. Now. The
Law Smith
14:31
army is strong.
3
Speaker 3
14:32
They do touch on the the gay angle that we push pretty hard. Hold your hands. We think
14:41
slapping each other
3
Speaker 3
14:43
you know, that's fine. We need an end to that. That's fine.
14:48
We're not gay, but I wish
Law Smith
14:51
we'd have so much I wish I was the life would be much less heartache. fuckin play Sega and just go at
14:58
it and just banging all day. Yeah,
Law Smith
15:01
all right, Rob, you lost an NHL 93 you're a bottom. Yeah.
3
Speaker 3
15:06
For the record, the twitch followers on Bubba show did think I was the one giving it to you for the record.
Law Smith
15:11
Let's find our bottom. They don't know what kind of ass I've got. It's true. You do the old my old guys tell me that's the real? That's where the real like, if you really get like you power from the bottom.
15:22
Yeah. If you're really gay, you're taking it.
Law Smith
15:25
Yeah, but you really you really control it?
3
Speaker 3
15:27
I don't know. You can be Kane. I don't know. I don't I can't speak. It's a
Law Smith
15:31
misnomer that. Yeah. Anyway. So what are they getting to know?
3
Speaker 3
15:37
there so now they're playing an old episode of art. Oh, really? You hear the music? Oh, yeah, even. And I was as soon as they started like, I'm probably not even on this one. But I am the first one. It was like my old one dude. Like you heard the music where it's just like, and then Bubba shits on law and his skills on mic. No, like, yeah.
Law Smith
16:04
Daddy, God Almighty. This is well, yeah, my cast a little. A little low. low tone. Little chill today go. I mean, amped up. All right. I thought we're going you know, NPR style, Terry. Gross. A little chill. A little sleepy time. It's like the third time we've been times right. Dude, I got really dad mad on Friday. But I'm not even embarrassed by it. I'm just it's just we this Meebo cameras suite. But we have. We have some other guys that are using our conference, conference room. God damn. out everywhere. I do another podcast called triple option on Sunday mornings for college football,
2
Speaker 2
16:47
man. Oh, the radio and it's just not even listening to me. Everybody's doing it now. Yeah, but you're still like, this makes you look good. I actually think this makes us look like even more super studios around
4
Speaker 4
17:03
$170 an hour for a minimum of three hours. Studios. That's
17:09
it's a 400 square foot. And you could put up to 10 people there.
Law Smith
17:13
Shout out over there. Oh, is that?
17:15
What the reading? I'm guessing? Why are you squirming?
2
Speaker 2
17:18
in the face with the episode you ran? Is it because you feel like that these guys are gonna get grilled? Is it that you? You want to go out with him again is not a don't. Honor don't appear on these people podcast and don't think we're not gonna find it. That's fair. And so anything you do publicly on the same type of forum and stage that we pay that we're going to talk about? Yeah, okay, I
4
Speaker 4
17:48
think schedule is completely open. If they have nothing filled, it looks like
Law Smith
17:53
Yeah.
17:55
Because Bubba Clem is gonna come in at 100 an hour and
Law Smith
17:59
we will do this burger with the long you're the major partner will be the junior partner. Again, I'm a fan.
3
Speaker 3
18:09
This is all stuff that's irrelevant. That's from old information that we don't even need to comment and you can hop ahead or whatever. No, I can't actually because our production quality.
Law Smith
18:19
So we got to just
18:20
win it all. Just let it we'll just talk man. Okay,
18:25
well, listen,
2
Speaker 2
18:27
we know. I'm glad you can jam in something with radio because you didn't jam in nothing with ensemble.
18:32
Yo. Face law,
Law Smith
18:34
jackass. I asked. I asked first I never just jam on it. Can I jam it in? No. You know what a good me to thing is are these
2
Speaker 2
18:42
guys to get it to put it in podcast and all day? No, I have other jobs and taking a lunch break or swiping right on some part of the day. I didn't meet them online real life. Friend. That should be actually I should be your new left. Because everything you do is no no. No. swiping left you swipe left in life. No, nothing's up. right for us. That's actually a good show name swiping left. Yeah, I like that. No, no, it sucks. It's bad. I hate it. No. That is my inner model. Swipe and last but when she goes on a swiping,
3
Speaker 3
19:26
swipe anything that has eyeballs. And then we spend 20 minutes fixing it and then we don't do it right. This is so fucking confusing right now to hear my own voice talking over it. And I don't know how good this is going in my opinion.
Law Smith
19:37
Yeah, why can't it pump through?
19:40
pump through the Transformers jump
Law Smith
19:43
ahead. Yeah,
3
Speaker 3
19:44
because it's just not set up that way. It's a pot. It's a soundboard. It's not exactly
2
Speaker 2
19:54
the same guys. Hold on. That video was like two years ago. Three years ago. The big faced blonde. Nude
3
Speaker 3
20:02
is your the big face want blonde surfer dude? Big face You look like the straight so that's not a good thing. We can let this play in the background but I don't know how good this is gonna be. I
Law Smith
20:17
bet you're here you can give me what you heard. You know, it was a lot of big face. Look be around little kids. And that's all you need to get roasted ever.
20:29
Yeah, just have a big face.
Law Smith
20:31
Yeah, it's not all my features are all squinch together have a big head. Maybe start about you
3
Speaker 3
20:37
know, he's definitely a surfer dude. Yeah, I don't have a big look. So, basically, you know, we we get shit on for a while. But it's it's Baba like I don't take it as anything besides Baba. firing from the hip. Oh, shit.
21:00
Why?
21:01
No, I'm just saying like, sure you might mean it. But I don't
3
Speaker 3
21:05
it we're doing a show from our house. YouTube following sucks don't care. Like that's not what we're getting. We're big on our get
Law Smith
21:14
on LinkedIn, bro.
3
Speaker 3
21:16
Um, you know, but it's a it's another solid 20 minutes of them going through everything. And it's some pretty cringe worthy shit.
Law Smith
21:25
It's an easy format to really you can pick apart almost anything you could find their best show. Pause it, think about it. Yeah, find or find the worst show what seems like they did. Oh, they definitely did.
2
Speaker 2
21:38
Yeah. Listen, like he doesn't want anybody to know his identity. And I don't know that anybody should be wearing. I don't know that. wearing a mask and being a radio host just was quite
3
Speaker 3
21:47
the clown on you from wearing a mask. wearing a mask from wearing a
21:54
95 style.
Law Smith
21:57
COVID mask?
3
Speaker 3
21:59
Yeah. Well, you say it for audio quality?
Law Smith
22:03
Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's fair. We talked about that on there. Yeah, we're gonna have a
22:09
lot of stuff to answer to the army.
Law Smith
22:11
We're so we're we needed to mention we're going on their show. They're on censored uncentered show next Thursday.
22:18
Maybe 1015. This doesn't go better.
3
Speaker 3
22:22
They might hear this and say, fuck, that's good. They'll they'll do one on top of that. Yeah, that'd be insane.
Law Smith
22:28
Plus, what we just did was just join into an honest show that

3
Speaker 3
22:52
Right. I wonder what it's like for him to shit on me. Oh, that's what it Yeah, that's not that great. But
Law Smith
22:56
no, look at the same time. It's all stuff we know. Like it's not none of this stuff is like Oh fuck, I didn't know that about myself. I didn't know I mumble through that. I didn't know we had episodes. We're just kind of sound like
23:08

That's whatever.
24:24
But at the same time, I don't necessarily look good.
Law Smith
24:29
So we just need to cut a long story boring. How about this? I'll, I'll do another extrapolation. How about this. Every business every every entity, you're going to any side hustle. You're going to try to do anything that you want to do. You're going to have criticism along the way. I'm dead on the inside from stand up. You do thousands of shows. You're going to bomb a lot. You fail a lot, I think and I really hope the way He read the title of that episode wasn't to say you failed upward into a failure pit or something like you failed to a dumpster
25:09
No, no, he said i doing the brand I think
Law Smith
25:11
do you think very high? Honestly, I do think very highly of him dude in the show seriously,
3
Speaker 3
25:16
trying to suck him I can remember 10 years ago trying to explain to people why Bubba is a genius. Yeah, and his ability for stream of consciousness and keeping track of like, he has a very specific skill set that works perfectly for what he does. And I would doubt people be like, Ooh, okay, yeah, go burps and like real Mike dude, for real like the guy's legit like a legend to me. Yeah, I still say guilty. And then for what? I don't even remember that drop when Ned would they'd ever they'd hear like a Hispanic name and go look
Law Smith
25:49
I didn't know you had was another like a dude thrown a voice until like two years ago. That's how dumb I am. Yeah.
25:54
But
Law Smith
25:56
I mean, here's the bigger picture let's let's try to keep this within we love we do. And I love honor as a friend. He clearly that that ship has sailed for me,
26:07
too. Don't worry, but we're in the studio now. Yo.
26:12
So Eiffel tower that What? No, she's I'm talking about her saying
26:17
what I'm saying. I said we did it for that reason, but it worked out nice.
Law Smith
26:20
Trying to move this Nicorette gum like a dip in my mouth and bottom lip like a dick in your mouth.
26:25
Got it? Yep.
26:27
I have it. Ha ha ha.
Law Smith
26:32
What I was what I'm saying is your restaurant, right? No. If you were a restaurant, man. Wow. Good. Yes. And if you're a restaurant tour, man, right, you have a restaurant, you're gonna get a bad review. Yeah. It's, it's, I see this. If you really, if I really want to look at this in the aggressive optimistic way that I try to I try to go through life a little bit a little intense. When shit like this happens, I think it's Look, the biggest thing of all is indifference. Yeah, if this if she if they just didn't even bring us up and said they're not worth the time to even write Phil the four or five hours they do every every morning or whatever you should, by the way, four or five hours every morning. Fucking
27:19
I'm stretching, right? And we're 25 minutes,
Law Smith
27:22
stretches down like they are to get well you got foot. They got four guys in there for four mics in there. There's enough to go around what I'm saying is your restaurant or your small business. You're gonna have people shit on you. It's gonna happen. Yeah, get over it. Right. Like, it's not that big of a deal. Yeah, you do. Like, again, stand up. You fuckin it's almost self mutilation at some point. You suck so bad in the beginning of stand up, that you have to be delusional and go. Oh, that was pretty good. Right? And you're terrible. Well, not even that. Good. That sucks. But
27:59
I'll get better people
Law Smith
28:00
coming up to me. I'm 12 years in and going keep at it. And you're like, Oh, cool. The first time I fucking crushed rooms. At a certain point. You know? When you you Really? I never get off stage and I'm like, a fucking fucking downtick that room. But yeah, I will go that went pretty well. I you know, like, you can tell that's the thing with stand up. It's immediate feedback. podcasts a little different, right? So sometimes there is room for that, that monotone NPR just chill. Just real cathartic, but sometimes there's not. You're getting shit on. Yeah, I'm just saying any any kind of side hustle, anything you're trying to do. You're gonna have a negative review.
3
Speaker 3
28:40
Yeah, it's almost like, it's, it's not so much like, Oh, you got to get through the reviews and things will get better. It's like you need to just not care about the reviews to begin with. It's not you know, it's like, it's a difference. Because you and I, we've been through some things,
Law Smith
28:58
but clearly we care. We care about this a little bit.
3
Speaker 3
29:01
Oh, sure. But I mean, there's nothing wrong with like caring about something that matters to you, you know, but it's like, it's like you and I have a certain freedom that a lot of people don't have just because of whatever we've gone through where it's like, we go on stage. We don't give a shits coming off of there like I'll never be able to live that one down. Right like we don't even fucking remember our last open mic. You know, it's like, how that go. I don't know fine. Who gives a shit like
Law Smith
29:29
I try to treat it like an NFL cornerback that just got burned you just under the next play? Right? Like you can't you can't sit that yeah, that and that's the thing with like, you know, okay, what do we learn from this? Not all criticism is bad. Well, I mean, the reason it kind of stings a little bit is because the production shit he's talking about. Fair. Oh, well, I mean, yeah, we hate it, too. Yeah. We just been lazy about doing it again.
3
Speaker 3
29:55
Exactly. You know, we don't take it personally. That's the big thing is not taking things personally. One of them Four Agreements is don't take it personally, what
Law Smith
30:03
are the Four Agreements again,
3
Speaker 3
30:05
four agreements are fraught. The first one is, I will, the last ones always do my best. Don't make assumptions. Don't take things personally.
Law Smith
30:18
And be impeccable with your word peccable with your word, don't take anything. So don't make assumptions. Always do your best.
3
Speaker 3
30:27
So as long as you're not going around lying, Mm hmm. And then you're yourself lying to yourself. And then you come and you take things for what they are from people, and you don't try and change the story in your head going beyond that, which is that point of view, which is assumptions, you assume Oh, they must mean this. Right? And then they must mean this because they think this about me, right? where it's like, well, maybe not. But most people
Law Smith
30:53
thought about us, right there nothing about us right now. So the next segment, right, exactly. And it goes back to the stand up where it's like, people do not like you bomb on stage. Most of the time people are done thinking about that five minutes later, especially an open mic night but yeah, that's bomb after bomb after bomb. If you egregiously bomb, you go at someone doesn't work. You've talked to them afterward. I'm trying to give the exam the business example too, because like, anybody listening may want that kind of like, not advice, but parable swords, like, Look, you're going to fail and a business, especially one that's like b2c where you're dealing with anybody? dividuals Yeah, that's why I wanted to use restaurants because they have the kind of the toughest, but everybody walks in now Yelp, they have that in their back pocket. And they go, Well, I ordered my steak well done. Right. And what's their POV? Right, right? Because they may have, they may have not set it correctly.
31:47
Yeah, I mean, that and it goes back to all of it, where it's just like
31:52
you're
3
Speaker 3
31:53
so much harder on yourself most of the time. Yeah. And, and really, dude, I mean, the Four Agreements, it seems so cheesy, but it's like, if you can stick to that shit, like mentally you're gonna be way better off and I know I've shared with you how much that helped me. Yeah, just because it's very freeing. Where it's like oh, if you don't go around telling lies not like I did that before but to keep it you know conscious and then the the big change for me was don't make assumptions. Don't think
Law Smith
32:20
take things personally. You don't make scenarios right? Right. Don't try and reason is because of this. And that means they're doing this exactly. Yeah. And you're telling me Let's cool it on the word games walking in. Yeah, studio, but I don't want to walk in. I don't want to walk in and get in a chewing match with them now never work. Right. And there's no reason to do that.
3
Speaker 3
32:42
Like VR fanboys and straight up like it'd be fun to hear what Yeah,
Law Smith
32:46
but but they don't know us. Really? Yeah. But and we don't know them. Exactly. And, and ever walk into a situation like coming in hot and you shouldn't fantasy football draft and everybody's cheering each other and you try to get in that you don't know anybody there or some kind of party. You know, something like a bachelor parties. That's Sure. Yeah. All these other guys have these inside jokes. And they're chewing on each other. And you try to like, get in that. Whoops, overstep my boundary. Yeah. Yeah, you know, all of those. The thing we haven't really been doing and that we know it and we've said it on the podcast is the fourth one is always do your best. We're probably not doing it. We're not doing our best but
3
Speaker 3
33:26
you know, we'll get there. I you know, I would I disagree. I think we're doing the best of what we got to do ain't great. We know it, but we're still doing it. Yeah, we're still well that electively consistent
Law Smith
33:39
Yeah. And what we're gonna put but with a sponge in this bubble army in the headline,
3
Speaker 3
33:45
being a guest bubble you eat up most of the time on hear your voice.
Law Smith
33:50
Oh, look at this. Take this apart, right?
33:53
Nothing when they pulled it know how to do
Law Smith
33:55
another episode. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't even think about that part. I don't think it'll be a problem. We have zero views on YouTube. So I don't think we're we're gonna get pulled down. Yeah. Look, I just I think this is more about taking criticism, and just trying to take it in. Like we talked with Jocko willing it. Yeah, good. Every bad. Every bad. There's a good I mean, mind you if you go in and listen to those that podcast that Bubba did with Ana lawn I looked like complete deuces. Yeah, well, I do. For sure. I feel like I do. You do? You definitely I don't care.
34:32
And I don't care either.
Law Smith
34:34
That's I don't want to replay it.
34:36
That's the point. Is that like, Okay,
Law Smith
34:39
fine. What do she thinks we do? What do they pick out?
3
Speaker 3
34:42
That? Well, I don't she's reading messages about like me saying, hey, you want to go out and stuff and it's like, okay, and you were saying how it's like, I don't want to hear that from anybody. I don't care if they're talking about here. My friends spit game
Law Smith
34:53
and I don't either. I don't want my shit to. I don't. I don't want me
34:58
steal your good lines.
Law Smith
35:00
Yeah, like, Can I make out with you like, you're bigger? I had to there had to been something going on for me to do that. I didn't just do it like I had. I was like autistic. I we weren't there. I mean, I that's I may have not been there, apparently but I'm saying look, I love her as a friend we started talking again after she lost her gig and I was just curious what happened I love hearing radio. Just like I hear like hearing a comic gossip. I like hearing radio gossip do because it's it's all just heist. Yeah,
35:34
exactly. It it's it lets you take step back. Fun stuff.
Law Smith
35:39
And the Baba army. I think I love them too. After chatting with them on Twitch TO DIANA bub, army man jumped in. And they're like, oh, you're this is the guy she's talking about right now. It's like, there's 500 people in the chat or something like that, right? Yeah, it's fun. And I just answered their shit and try to be fun. Yeah,
35:58
yeah. And we were on the twitch. So today, we didn't say that.
Law Smith
36:01
And I love mommy word. Lemmy is their executive producer, producer with the Anna show on the show. Excuse me. Yeah. That that's the hardest part is saying on it.
36:11
I don't think I said no, once. I think I said every time
Law Smith
36:14
you're impeccable with your word, number one. You don't take anything personally. Nope. You don't make assumptions. Nope. And he always try your best. I always try my best.
Law Smith
36:24
Well, that's another sloppy episode. All right, good.
36:26
I think it went good. We'll see you guys on Thursday.
