But don't 167 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: take me to a concert if you want to watch 168 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: the dance moves, because the only dance moves you're going 169 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: to be watching. 170 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: I'm there, right. 171 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: It was funny because and like, I love CT but 172 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: I was like telling her, you know, this is when 173 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: she does her kind of her mashup of a couple 174 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: of songs, and Kylie and I are sitting there and 175 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's got to be black Dog. 176 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: It's got to be black Dog.

I was like, 183 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: highly do you know what they are? And she said 184 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't. So I said, Travis, what do you know 185 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: what they are? And he was great, whether he had 186 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: a poker face or not, but he was like, I 187 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: think it's an old one, and then one of the 188 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: new ones, and it was adorable. 189 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: I don't heard this. 190 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: He goes and the bridge leads to this and I 191 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: just looked at him and I go the fact you 192 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: just said bridge.

It's all just a learning experience. And now 200 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: we know. Now we know, we have we have our 201 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: roots in place, we know what the expectations are. We're 202 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 3: good going forward. All right. You guys are big on smells, 203 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: particularly you've talked about it. Did he smell like his 204 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: signature lieu vauton? Where you worried, you know, halfway through 205 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: the show about your smells? You know, we're we sweating 206 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: what happened there. 207 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, And I'd like to call somebody out. 208 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about, you know, judging women in 209 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: their bodies. I saw some of the comments, what's Aaron 210 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: in her soccer mom era? First of all, you're talking 211 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: about David Beckham's mom there, and Rinaldo's mom there, and 212 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: Messi's mom. 213 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: So I'd love to beat point great. 214 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: First of all, I will tell you this, and Carissa 215 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: almost made a massive mistake. She almost wore heels to 216 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: that concert. And the one thing everybody told us where sneakers. Now, 217 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: Chrisa is like Sarah, Jessica Parker, Carrie Bradshaw. She can 218 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: pull off heels and dance at them and be bopping along. 219 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: But I definitely went for comfort. I had two j 220 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: brackets for my soccer mom area era, so relax. But yeah, 221 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: it was like the tent. There's a lot of people 222 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: were bouncing around. Well Chris is really bouncing around, but no, 223 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: it's hot in there, and so I just we just 224 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: ripped our stuff off and put it over to the side. Now, 225 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: chrisal looked amazing and her sparkles and all that, and 226 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: I wish I had done a better job with that, 227 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: but I love my jackets. 228 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: But relax on the soccer mom era. 229 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Okay, you know what exactly And to your point, if 230 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: that's a soccer mom hot, fine, there was to elaborate 231 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: on that. 232 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: I we've talked about. 233 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: If you guys listen, don't Jarrett coin the phrase do 234 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: not cram for the exam. Since we talked about going 235 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: it was a concert a while ago. I thought I 236 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: had the perfect outfit. I was just gonna go white 237 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: T shirt and like these like very bedazzled jeans that 238 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: I got, and I was gonna I had to wear 239 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: a heel with them because the jeans were really long. 240 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: I didn't want to tell Aaron that I was gonna 241 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: wear a heel. I knew she was going to be mad. 242 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: She's going to be like, why are you doing that? 243 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: It's going to slow us down. Have you thought about 244 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: the walk from the parking lot, But unbeknownst to us, 245 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: there was a golf cart. 246 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: Could have worn the heel. Everything would have been fine. 247 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: However, day of so obviously we both we can fly 248 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: in at different times. But then like that next morning 249 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: before the concert, we go shopping and I'm like, I 250 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: can't wear heels you're right, I'm gonna I'm gonna regret this. 251 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: So I got different pants, tennis shoes and it all 252 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: worked out. But we're doing a day think about she 253 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: was an audible. We can pull that off. She's a 254 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: designer decorator, she can pull that off. I can't know 255 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: if I can pull it off. It was just an 256 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: audible that made more sense. But all I could think 257 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: about is if Taylor Swift can perform for three and 258 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: a half hours every night in heels, why can't I 259 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: have heels on When I'm just bopping around in a 260 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: twenty by ten tent. She's moving the whole stage and 261 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: for the last I don't know, one hundred and fifty 262 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: shows or whatever number we're on. So but I ended 263 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: up wearing tennis shoes and it was probably the right choice. 264 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the answer to that is, first year, not 265 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: training like I'm sure Taylor's training for these shows and heels, 266 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: And second, if you're not fully prepared for the Heisman 267 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: stiff arm that's coming from Aaron part way through the show, 268 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: that could lead to some destabilization and some potential injuries. 269 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: Interesting, Ryan, don't she's insane though? I mean, I know 270 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: like Chris has been. Yeah, you know, we watched the 271 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: concert multiple times. I've watched like, yeah, the countless, a 272 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: number of TikTok videos. Her stamina is incredible, like it's crazy. 273 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: And then you see the pictures out of her the 274 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: other night, inner heels again until four am. I'm like, 275 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: that was Aaron's text to me. Aaron's text me because 276 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: she had to leave earlier than I did, and so 277 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: I was still there and she's like, did you end 278 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: up going out? And I was like, no, I didn't 279 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: go out. I was like, I was sleeping and she's like, 280 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: and look at this one still in heels out. 281 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: It is so impossive. 282 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Two takeaways from this concert well three. Number one, I'm 283 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: so glad that you and I did this. I'm so 284 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: glad that we actually followed through. I mean, there's a 285 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: million reasons in life that you end up not doing things. 286 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we did this. Number Two, Taylor and Travis. 287 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: I don't care what anyone says. I don't want to 288 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: hear it. Don't talk to me. In fact, if you 289 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: don't like Taylor and Travis, you shouldn't be listening to 290 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: this podcast, and you shouldn't like us because we love them. 291 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: We have obviously been credited for something that we didn't 292 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: have anything to do with, but we have advocated for 293 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,599 Speaker 1: these two from the beginning and seeing it. This is 294 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: my first time seeing Travis in person watch her at 295 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: a concert, and I have these creepy pictures that I'm 296 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: going to send him, which I'm sure he doesn't need 297 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: because he has seven thousand pictures of him at her 298 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: concert that are Getty images. But there's a picture that 299 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: I took just of her on stage and like he's 300 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: like off to the side and the way that he 301 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: looks at her when he's performing. And I said to him, 302 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: I was like, you must be so proud. He's like, 303 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: you have no idea, and I just my takeaway was 304 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: how sweet it was that both of these people get 305 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,479 Speaker 1: to watch one in their respective professions with like such admiration, 306 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: with such encouragement. And I was like, what a gift 307 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: that is to have a partner be able to aaron. 308 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: You've had it with Jarrett, like seeing him do his thing. 309 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: I do that with Steve over his laptop when he's 310 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: putting together a marketing presentation. Very similar, but like to 311 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: watch your partner do something that they. 312 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely love and crush. It is very cool. 313 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: So that's my second takeaway is that they are so 314 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: adorable and in love and it's just sweet to see. 315 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: And my third and final one is she is a. 316 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: Frickin' beast or I don't know how she does it, 317 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: but I am in a like complete awe. I think 318 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that Aaron, you and I have really good work ethics. 319 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: And we'll get on a plane and. 320 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: We'll fly here, you're on location. 321 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: The second you got back, you're already like back out 322 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: traveling again. And I just think that the work ethic 323 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: of that young woman is to be admired and appreciated. 324 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, that deserves everything she has. 325 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: The Chris I talked about, you know, him admiring her 326 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: and being so there was this moment and it's well 327 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: documented because Travis obviously can't do anything at her shows 328 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: without people taking videos. So we're not telling anybody anything 329 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: they haven't seen. 330 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: Over the every angle yet every angle. 331 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: She was singing lover and she was just singing to him, 332 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: and we were kind of all standing there watching it, 333 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: and it was awesome for the romantics like Chris and 334 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: I for a guy that we cheer for.

Jared has this photo. 344 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: He's standing right behind Travis and it looks like she's 345 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: pointing to Jared and she's going to Travis and Ryan, 346 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: you said, a great texture and always finds his way. 347 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: Chrisa and Jared, they always find their way into something 348 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: like they just do. They're so good at it. The timing. 349 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was listen, I we all fall into 350 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: We don't really know what's going on behind the scenes. 351 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: We were there, we saw them. I don't believe for 352 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: a second this is an act. I'm embarrassed of all 353 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the people that said it was a PR stunt. I 354 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: don't want it to be. I will say this. I 355 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: hope to God they get married.

It is so cool to watch and even 357 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, like Chrisa just said, having a guy that 358 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: is that successful, he walks into a room, he lights 359 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: up a room. Having him support her the way he 360 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: does is such a great message for so many people. 361 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: Well said, no, seriously, it's a baby. 362 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: And I have to say to Iby Remiss that we 363 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: were there in a bunch of tracks, us as friends 364 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: were there and they couldn't have been lovelier.

Like I was 411 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: getting so emotional over and I think that's another such 412 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: a special thing about Taylor Swift that people don't give 413 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: enough credit to, just you know, the different generations and 414 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: the dads taking their daughters and stuff. To elaborate on that, Aaron, 415 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: So We're at a restaurant and Steve so Aerin and 416 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: I are on the inside of the booth and Steve 417 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: and Jared on the outside, and we saw this like 418 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: smoking hot mom and like a bunch of girls with her, 419 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: and I was like, I was like, they've got to 420 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: be here for the Tailor Swift concert. 421 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 2: Like it just it's like they have to be here. 422 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: So Steve leans back and he goes, hey, where are 423 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: you guys from the little kids? 424 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: I go, WHOA? 425 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: I was like first, and I looked up immediately at 426 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: the mom and I said, oh my god, I'm so sorry. 427 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: He doesn't mean that. 428 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: We just want to know if you're here for the 429 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert.

You know, 664 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: I did pretty well selling cars. So it actually was 665 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 5: really I enjoy talking back because I enjoyed telling young 666 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 5: people like, hey, like you know, I was in the 667 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 5: middle of it trying to figure it out too. You 668 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 5: don't you don't have to like get it right out 669 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 5: of college and go to the you know, the top 670 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 5: thing like you can. Your path can be kind of weird. 671 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 5: So it was a good It was a good learning experience, 672 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 5: no doubt. I actually took a lot from it. It 673 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 5: was cool. 674 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: That's a big thing. 675 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: It taught you, sorry ct when a kind of holding 676 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: out and having a schlap and sell cars and all that. 677 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, the big it's er It's a great question. Quite simply. 678 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 5: It just taught me to ask for stuff I wanted. 679 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 5: And because I was always like it don't rock the book, 680 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 5: I still kind of am. 681 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm like I'm not. 682 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: I'm pretty laid back, you guys, know, like I'm unless 683 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 5: I get to the point where something really pisses me off, 684 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 5: like which doesn't happen very often at all, and so 685 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 5: I'm usually just to go with the flow guy and 686 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 5: like doing that job very simply. You either asked for 687 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: what you want or you don't do you don't put money, 688 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 5: and you don't pay rent, you know. So it just 689 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 5: taught me to negotiate, to ask for things because the 690 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 5: worst people could say is no. And then from there 691 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 5: I took that lesson and like I called a guy 692 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 5: who I'd worked with before. It was a program director 693 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 5: at the Fan in New York, Eric Spitz. I just 694 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 5: called him. I said, Hey, I think I'm good enough 695 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 5: to work at your station, Like, can I audition? And 696 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 5: he said, Uh, okay, come in Friday. I'm like what. 697 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 5: So it's just like a It was just a simple lesson, 698 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 5: but it was just one that I just, I guess 699 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 5: I just never knew how to do. So it taught 700 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 5: me a very valuable skill. 701 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: But don't you also appreciate that you had to do 702 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: things like that, because now when you sit in a 703 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: booth and you call a Super Bowl, or you sit 704 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: on that desk alongside Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter or 705 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: Big Poppy and you're at the world here, he's like you, 706 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: I imagine, because it's how I feel when we've all 707 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: had the great fortune of living out our dream job 708 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: is that You're like, oh, but it didn't No one 709 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: just handed you a willy want a golden ticket.

I don't think I would have been. 734 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 5: I think the way that I did it was good 735 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 5: for me, Like I don't. I think it helped me 736 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 5: get to be who I am today. So I embrace it. 737 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 5: I really do.

It was always like okay, oh, 748 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 5: people always had a trigger, So it was always is 749 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 5: the monthly payment important? Is it a newer used car? 750 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 5: Is it a certain feature in the car? Like they 751 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 5: always had a trigger. So it was finding out what 752 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 5: that trigger was and then kind of working off of that. 753 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 5: The crazy thing is that I don't know if it's 754 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 5: still the same. I mean this was one that I 755 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 5: last sell cars. I mean, I don't remember. 756 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 3: It's all the. 757 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: Same as a daughter of a used car salesman a visits. 758 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: It's all the same that if you can sell, you 759 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: can sell. It doesn't matter if this is nineteen eighty 760 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: six or if it's twenty twenty four. Like that's all 761 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: the same, true. 762 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 3: No doubt. 763 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 5: But Christy, you know, like the crazy thing is and 764 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 5: I tell people this and they still don't blame it 765 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 5: like you would, just the way it's structure. And maybe 766 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 5: it's not like this at every place, but you know, 767 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 5: our place had depended on you know, what kind of 768 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 5: incentives the dealer had and things like that, and you 769 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 5: get paid a lot on structure, like if you sold 770 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 5: eight cars that month, you got a bonus, you know, 771 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 5: something like that. And there would be times where I 772 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 5: would sell, you know, a fifty thousand dollars suburban and 773 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 5: I would make fifty dollars on the sale, and it 774 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 5: made no sense, like literally no sense. So it was 775 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 5: like it was just no rhyme or reason to sometimes 776 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 5: it depended and then there'd be other times you sell 777 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 5: a twenty five thousand dollars car but the dealer owned 778 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 5: it for a certain price and you'd make a good amount. 779 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 5: You made a couple grands. So it just it was 780 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 5: a you had to be like, Okay. 781 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the I'm only I'm only 782 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: interjecting because I think it's one of the hardest thing. Again, 783 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: my father worked construction, hurt his back, and then he 784 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: had to sell cars, and so I watched him growing 785 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: up like that idea and then eventually, to his credit, 786 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: like you like, he ended up owning the dealership where 787 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't become the lead announcer for Fox, 788 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: but I'm sure he would have loved that opportunity. But 789 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: when you watch the buddy, but you're dependent, sales is 790 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: the hardest thing to do because there is no guaranteed 791 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: money and you have a family to support, and it 792 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: was like the stress that comes with that. 793 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 2: But so I give so much. 794 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: I have so much respect for doing that job, and 795 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: not only doing that job, because I've watched it be 796 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: hard for my father, but also because you were willing 797 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: to do anything to support your family, and I think 798 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: that that's something that's like so commendable. Here's the one 799 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: thing that my dad talked yeah. My dad always told 800 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: me don't close after the sale. Like if I'm on 801 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: the lot and I'm like, okay, i'll take it, and 802 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: then you keep being like and there's air conditioning and 803 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: there's this, it's like, ooh. 804 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 2: They already got it. 805 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: Don't shut up, just shut off because now you might 806 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: say more and it's like they've already said they're going 807 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: to buy the car. So like so many times, and 808 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: I think about this in my own life, like if 809 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: like whatever, I get a job and I'm like, okay, but. 810 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 2: I'm gonna work really hard and I'm gonna do this. 811 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: It's like, you're shut up. We just gave you the job, 812 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: now you're ruining it. Walk away, Go sign the goddamn 813 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: paperwork before they take it back. 814 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: So don't close after the sale was big, and I. 815 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 5: Promise you will regret it and I'll keep you. 816 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
