00:02:00.760
Nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it. That was delicious. Okay, you guys. So
0.95
00:02:09.720
Joshua is working on coming in. So don't worry. We still have a show. We are the most prepared
00:02:16.580
podcast ever, and it's not even close. Okay. So I did want to start because I was thinking
00:02:25.980
for all of the people out there that don't quite know how to pet your dog,
00:02:32.460
I've seen a lot of you making mistakes. I actually have friends that can tell you,
00:02:36.860
I've actually had the nerve to critique the way Dave Portnoy was petting Miss Peaches when he
00:02:44.640
first got her. I was like, why is he petting her like that? I know why. He did not see this micro
00:02:51.820
lesson. Here's a micro lesson on hypnosis. Not the entire body of hypnosis, but just one specific
00:03:01.600
part. I'm going to demonstrate on my dog, Snickers. And one of the most important parts of hypnosis
00:03:09.680
is observation, meaning that you want to look at the subject, in this case the dog,
00:03:18.020
to see what you're doing and how they're reacting. Is this something the dog likes?
00:03:25.540
Surprisingly, yes. How about this? How about that? Is a dog like that? Well, if this were some other
00:03:34.240
dog that would be really annoying it turns out that this dog loves this more than just about
00:03:39.960
anything see that sleepy eyed look it's like oh yeah i could have some more of that so you can
00:03:49.920
actually practice on your dog doing different things and then watching their expression now
0.99
00:03:57.020
she's not doing a good job today because she's acting like she likes everything i do
00:04:01.080
But usually you can find little micro-differences in our breathing or our muscle tone or positioning, our eyes are closing all sleepy like that.
00:04:17.420
You've got to watch what you're doing and how it affects your subject.
00:04:27.180
That goes for some dating advice too, you guys, right, Owen?
00:04:31.080
yeah it didn't go so well when i went on that date and you know started patting my date's head
00:04:38.800
marcel and i could have helped you out with that
00:04:48.600
listen scott gave us some great dating advice you guys and um a lot of it not all of it but a lot of
00:04:57.400
it still lives on locals.com scottadams.locals.com where we hope you guys come over and subscribe
00:05:03.240
it's a good time over there and the locals right now they're chatting out there the we call them
00:05:08.900
the beloveds like scott said we are all the beloveds um and we are also all scott's debris
00:05:14.660
but anyway come to locals we want to see you over there um you can send pictures in the chat the
00:05:20.700
whole kit and caboodle so you guys today um when joshua gets here we have a fun lesson set up he's
00:05:27.340
working on coming in um but in the meantime don't worry because we have stories um this is just one
00:05:35.580
of those things i think scott might have laughed at it's just the irony of which this was fed to
00:05:42.240
me in stories today so i want to show you this clip and it kind of goes into what we're talking
00:05:48.140
about and um owen i'm going to actually come to you first after this clip to get your take okay
00:06:00.780
Women cheat in ways that are, like, the soft place to land,
1.00
00:06:06.060
And culturally, by the way, women get away with cheating
1.00
00:06:12.460
If a man cheats on his wife, he's a piece of garbage
1.00
00:06:16.860
If a woman cheats on her husband, it's, you know,
1.00
00:06:40.000
Do you think there's some truth to that though?
00:06:51.040
to tell people's stories, I will tell you that, you know, most people, if you really
00:06:59.700
listen to their story, there's some element to it where they're a sympathetic character.
00:07:06.440
I mean, I'm skeptical anytime someone tells me the story of their life and they're the
00:07:11.360
I prefer when someone tells me the story of their life and they have heroic moments and
00:07:15.200
they have weak moments and then, you know, that gives a credibility to the story.
00:07:21.040
um so ironically enough the man's name he's a divorce attorney his name is james sexton
00:07:29.600
and that was the trigonometry podcast but before we fully talk about that
00:07:34.320
here's the funny thing the next clip that was fed to me was this
00:07:45.120
so i was like okay that was pretty funny and that was posted by one of my favorite accounts
00:07:52.600
clown world at clown world so owen what do you think about what uh james sexton said there on
00:08:01.240
trigonometry well i do i mean i definitely think there's a double standard of of sorts
00:08:06.280
with when men cheat versus women um and i think it probably just has to do with the stereotype of
00:08:13.660
you know men kind of being the ones that take accountability and are responsible for their
00:08:19.420
actions and I think a lot of women in general this isn't universal of course there's exceptions but
0.75
00:08:24.460
you know as a stereotype I think it's that a lot of women don't feel like they're accountable or
0.96
00:08:28.380
don't want to be accountable for what they do and so there's always some reason or some
00:08:33.180
justification and you know women want to understand how you're feeling and all that stuff and men just
00:08:39.040
don't do that. And, and so people kind of assume that men want to cheat, which men, many men don't,
00:08:46.000
but certainly some do. I think the, as I recall, the statistics are kind of maybe even in terms
00:08:52.560
of the number of men and women that cheat. But, you know, I, I think it's, you know, I, I don't
00:09:00.900
know. I mean, I think, you know, I've certainly never cheated on anybody. I've always been just
00:09:04.740
the type of person that would have one person at a time, essentially. So I can't really put myself
00:09:09.900
in the mindset of a man who cheats. But I think certainly probably in both cases, there would be
00:09:18.520
some underlying reason, at least in the majority of cases. I mean, I'm sure there's some guys that
00:09:22.940
are just by their nature cheaters. Just horned dogs. Yeah. But I think in many cases, it's
0.98
00:09:31.340
probably that there's some problem with the relationship. There's probably something going
00:09:34.400
on in the marriage or in the whatever relationship they have that isn't fulfilling some need. And
00:09:40.000
again, I don't say that to justify it. It's just, that's true. And I think, you know,
00:09:46.420
what he's pointing out is that in many cases, the social circles around women might be jumping
00:09:50.760
right to that justification as opposed to with a man where they say, oh, you know, you violated
00:09:57.500
your, you know, vows and all that. So I think what he's saying is probably true, especially
00:10:03.300
just in terms of how people around that person in their social circle and family and all the rest
00:10:07.860
would react to it um but in terms of what's actually going on i think it's a lot more equal
00:10:14.260
to me at least that's how i look at it so i mean there's a lot of you know talk about this stuff
00:10:19.920
now especially with uh swalwell and well i'll just leave it at swalwell we know everybody else
00:10:24.980
um marcella what's your opinion i always feel like well the men are cheating with someone and
00:10:31.300
they're women. So, you know, I feel like maybe it goes both ways. Not everybody's cheating with
00:10:38.380
the same sex partner. Some are, you never know. But what do you think? Do you think women get a
00:10:44.860
pass on this way easier than men will? Well, as Rush Limbaugh would tell you, you know, obviously
00:10:52.040
he um he's no longer here with us but he would call them the fem nazis so the idea changed after
00:11:02.000
you know women's liberation movement and all of that i think it's caused this different filter
00:11:08.380
where men are you know uh bad for cheating but women when they do cheat oh sorry for them uh
00:11:18.800
what did the men do that that she went out of the marriage and cheated um there was a time in
00:11:25.680
america where men cheating was like sort of ignored under jfk and before that um the press
00:11:36.640
didn't cover it you know but now it's used like as we saw we talked about yesterday in order to
00:11:43.040
blackmail in order to, as BJ said yesterday, in order to get a
00:11:47.480
politician out of office, you use that against them. And I think
00:11:51.920
they're using it against female and male politicians. But overall,
0.98
00:11:58.100
I think it's just the filter that we look through it. I think
00:12:01.280
cheating is wrong overall. But it's gonna happen because it's
00:12:06.500
biological. I personally think that there is certain people that
00:12:11.300
are biologically like more certain to have that and want that you know so and I think Scott pointed
00:12:21.080
out that you know he his argument was that you know if you if you think you're the person that
00:12:25.600
would never cheat it's probably just that you never had the opportunity I don't fully agree
00:12:30.880
with that I don't think I would be in that situation but I have to admit that you know
00:12:34.900
I've never been in the situation where like some woman was hitting on me and I had to resist it or
00:12:39.940
something like that. You were like, no, no. Yeah. So, you know, it's kind of hard to know how I
1.00
00:12:45.580
would behave if I were in Swalwell's position where, you know, he potentially has a lot of
00:12:49.460
power and influence and, um, that, you know, there may be a lot of opportunities or, you know,
00:12:55.800
whatever. So, and again, I'm not excusing anything that he did. I think he's a complete slime ball,
00:12:59.540
but, um, you know, I, I understand that people who are in powerful positions or are super
00:13:05.260
attractive or whatever might be in a totally different situation. So it's kind of hard for
00:13:08.700
me to put myself in their shoes and say, this is how I would behave if I were just like that.
00:13:12.900
Yeah. I mean, it's definitely, you know, it's a, it's definitely a hot topic, especially,
00:13:17.240
especially right now. Um, and you know, it's been going on as the days have been existing. So
00:13:24.000
it is interesting. And I, and you know, and there are different cultures around the world where
00:13:28.540
like the woman's got to be like, you know, relinquished to the house or covered completely
1.00
00:13:33.080
because you know god forbid but those men um also typically beat the shit out of their women so
0.92
00:13:39.720
it's it's a crazy world anyway cheating not cheating it's just a thing and i think scott
0.91
00:13:46.220
used to say too that um correct me if i'm wrong did he used to say that you're did he say like
00:13:53.620
you're not meant to be with like one person your whole life i feel like that's like that was kind
00:13:58.280
of his take like it's not natural you don't have one soulmate well the soulmate yeah but i think
00:14:04.340
he was kind of like well i know he talked about how you know sometimes relationships just run
00:14:09.540
their course and probably in the context of his marriages um you know it's like he he looked back
00:14:15.820
on it positively even though it didn't last forever and then he kind of pointed out doesn't
00:14:20.040
necessarily need to last forever um so i think he definitely had some some kind of perspective like
00:14:25.080
that right yeah all right so joshua's almost with us i just got an update um so anyway you guys
00:14:33.360
resist the urge if you can work on your marriages and relationships if possible there's so much good
00:14:39.520
information youtube videos mentors you can do it be useful try to try to make a better way if you
00:14:47.440
can really just do what you want um okay i'm like why am i giving you advice i don't know i could
00:14:55.920
yeah i mean okay erica said it was okay do what you want but don't cry to me if it all goes south
0.91
00:15:03.200
how about that there cover my ass um okay so marcella you had a light story for us was it
0.93
00:15:12.120
about I'll let you pick which one because Joshua was almost with us so let's just uh oh so I have
0.95
00:15:18.220
I have well the first story is very short it's called egg coffee so I know we do the sip every
00:15:24.420
day but I don't know if you guys are sipping with an egg coffee or just a regular coffee so
00:15:30.060
egg coffee has gone viral it's basically a Vietnamese drink blending raw egg yolk sugar
00:15:38.300
condensed milk and over strong coffee for a sweet marshmallow like foam and it's like
00:15:46.980
it's gone viral on tiktok instagram of course it is the rage so i don't know why would you
00:15:57.380
have breakfast and coffee just have it all in one in one all right so here my mom's dying right now
00:16:04.120
can hear her because you guys brace yourselves for impact okay so my mom was born in italy i don't i
00:16:12.840
that's all i can tell you she was born in italy and i'm going to blame it on that and yes we used
00:16:18.520
to do this so hold on to yourself okay she would take an egg yolk put it in like a mug okay and
00:16:26.760
then you'd put about as much sugar like that you could hold in your fist in there okay a lot of
0.99
00:16:33.160
sugar. And then she would take a fork and start doing this. Okay. So this is basically the
1.00
00:16:39.080
Vietnamese coffee without the coffee like this. And it would start to grow and grow and grow and
00:16:44.320
grow and grow and then eat it. And it was a, so it was a raw yolk with all that sugar. And she said,
00:16:53.160
oh, it's, it's eggnog. And I'm like thinking, oh, and then when I got older and I saw like eggnog,
00:16:58.200
I'm like, hmm, one of these things is not like the other.
00:17:03.560
All she needs to add is condensed milk and then the coffee.
00:17:07.080
And Vietnamese iced coffee, the one that I ever had did not have the egg part of it,
00:17:12.580
but it had the condensed milk and the sugar and all that good stuff.
00:17:25.520
no i like eggs and i like coffee but they do not prolong in the same vessel
00:17:29.340
of any kind try this you guys i bet it is good because it got really really fluffy
00:17:35.780
no look who's here i don't see that hey everybody how we doing hello morning joshua

00:19:07.300
i like to do let's make sure the glare isn't so bad here okay so the lesson i'd like to share
00:19:17.000
with you today, everyone here at the Scott Adams School, is about writing. Wow, a writer wants to
00:19:22.760
talk about writing? Who could have possibly guessed that? So, I'm going to teach with you,
00:19:27.760
teach to you today, a method that I have actually trademarked because it is a unique method for
00:19:33.980
creating content. It is called the best way to say it. Some longtime listeners of the Scott Adams
00:19:42.420
School, and also Coffee with Scott Adams, will recognize some of these methods here.
00:19:49.720
So the methodology is called, as I said, the best way to say it.
00:19:54.740
Got to put a little trademark registration up there in the corner, and a little smiley
00:20:04.940
Suppose you want to communicate something in essay form, a long form thread.
00:20:11.340
in you have the opportunity to pop write an op-ed or you want to write a book short form
00:20:20.460
long form the best way to say it method will work for you to communicate with the clarity
00:20:27.340
with the specificity with the level of detail that you need and the process is going to go a bit like
00:20:34.960
this. So first of all, you're going to do what I do with my ghostwriting nonfiction book clients,
00:20:41.880
which is we actually, before we do any of the writing or build the full outline,
00:20:46.280
we start with a title and subtitle, or at least the working title for this. Your title,
00:20:53.340
be it your article, essay, white paper, that main headline of your thread, the first thing that you
00:20:59.920
see, that is what you're promising people rather than say, okay, for example, I'm going to, I'm
00:21:06.580
going to, uh, pimp my literary ride here, so to speak. My book's so good. They call you a fake.
00:21:11.860
I could have titled it something like an irreverent business guidebook for scaling your business
00:21:24.600
beyond your okay that's just snooze fest okay the snooze fest it's not bad but it's like okay
00:21:32.360
what's what what's the benefit here well the benefit of it is that you become so good at
00:21:37.980
what you do that people think it's fake and they have to come and look wow really i can get that
00:21:42.240
much attention that's amazing okay so you want to start with even if it's a working title we're
00:21:48.260
going to do this, the title of your work, which really is the promise of it. What is it that
00:21:56.120
you're actually promising people? What is the payoff that they're going to experience
00:21:59.540
from reading your thing? Then from there, once you know what you're going to be promising people,
00:22:07.420
you're going to do a brain dump. This is stream of consciousness, unfiltered, uncensored. I'm going
00:22:18.120
have to see if I can move a little bit here so people can see it. There we go. So you're going
00:22:22.500
to do a brain dump of literally everything you can say on that topic. You're going to go. There
00:22:28.600
is no censorship. There is no, oh, you know, maybe what, how do I really want to say this?
00:22:34.080
Just, just write it as fast as you possibly can. Okay. I did an interview with a newspaper in the
00:22:40.520
United Kingdom this morning and my official count of nonfiction books ghostwritten since 2011 is now
00:22:47.200
111 this is what i do people i start with a title and then i go now when i'm interviewing someone in
00:22:55.820
the ghost train situation i'm getting the brain dump from them and i'm also kind of leading the
00:23:00.960
witness a little bit by asking new questions that are more likely to get them talking and now i have
00:23:04.800
a transcript which is basically a brain dump now in your case let's say you want to start a sub stack
00:23:13.380
And your first piece, you know, oh, I think I want to write about this new law, this new rule,
00:23:18.620
or this new policy affecting my industry, my profession. So what do I say? What do I say?
00:23:27.220
Maybe you have a couple of ideas, but okay, it's going to be like, well,
00:23:30.740
I'm even bored out of my mind as I think about this idea. Well, what do people want to read
00:23:37.720
about this? What can you actually promise them? If there's changes in this industry that affect
00:23:42.260
how you need to do business, then are there loopholes you know about it? Are there specific
00:23:49.160
carve-outs that don't affect this portion of the industry? Are there severe fines that are
00:23:57.640
going to be levied against those who aren't aware of it, for example? So what is the thing worth
00:24:05.800
promising. Is it the abatement of pain or a guarantee of pleasure? Pain and pleasure
00:24:14.540
motivates behavioral change. I want a behavioral change. I want you to go from not reading my
00:24:19.880
thing to reading my thing. I want behavioral change. So I need to promise. I need to threaten
00:24:27.300
and coerce. Very bad things will happen to you if you don't read this, but also good things will
00:24:31.720
if you do. Smiley face. Okay. But that's just clickbait. Yeah. And it works. Next question.
00:24:37.640
You're going to brain dump everything you could possibly say on that topic,
00:24:40.480
but that will take weeks. There is usually top of mind, a supply of the core material that
00:24:47.720
needs to be present to fulfill this. Just write it all out. Well, there was this experience that
00:24:53.240
happened with the client. So then you write out notes for that client. Well, I also want to make
00:24:56.760
i tell people this you want to exhaust top of mind information so when you're looking at wow that's
00:25:05.400
only five pages in my google doc i thought i was going to say more than that and that took 45
00:25:09.960
minutes that wasn't so bad so now you have brain dubbed everything for your substack
00:25:15.640
your linkedin article or what have you that now is going to fulfill the promise but joshua it's all
00:25:21.560
out of order. It's messy. Part of it's a bulleted outline. It's literally all over the place.
00:25:26.880
Okay. So then from here, you're going to restructure, restructure, restructure, or really
00:25:36.800
you're going to reorder it. Now I think in terms of, of this, what makes sense for your order?
00:25:42.940
Is it chronological? With this example of this change in your industry, that very bad things
00:25:48.920
will happen to you if you don't uh obey it but there's a nice little carve out sweet loophole
00:25:53.240
that only you are uniquely aware of which you deploy on behalf of your clients wink wink
00:25:58.080
contact form below the order has to make sense so is it yesterday this new rule became law
00:26:09.760
or something that's a natural place to start and then you go from and do you could do chronological
00:26:16.880
order of literally the chronological order, the history of the thing, or maybe is there more so
00:26:22.400
a, a, a linear order and the chronological order doesn't matter. So what do I mean by linear as in
00:26:29.780
a, a line of things that will now happen that may not be in chronological order, but the structure
00:26:36.920
is going to be in linear order. So for example, you could say something like, here's what I'm
00:26:42.260
now doing for my clients since this is legal. That you should too. One, two, three, four, five.
00:26:49.100
And maybe you kind of have to do them all simultaneously, but there's a natural order
00:26:54.500
for those things. So those are two ways to restructure all your content. How do I restructure
00:26:58.880
my brain dub? Well, one easy thing to do is create a new bulleted list, either in a separate document
00:27:07.520
if you've got two monitor action or just up at the top of this,
00:27:20.040
what is the very first thing that should go very first?
00:27:23.640
Well, that goes in cut and paste or highlight it and paste,
00:27:37.520
Okay, now that's the third thing that should go.
00:27:40.820
And then so on and so forth, until you now have a properly chronologically structured,
00:27:45.840
restructured rather, or linearly reordered numbered bullet list of things.
00:27:53.380
Someone in the comments joked that you could just go pulp fiction with this.
00:27:59.320
I suppose so, but when we look at, but this person did it that way, or that person did
00:28:06.740
it that way you are not a prominent late 20th early 20th first century filmmaker that's not
00:28:14.140
the best way to say it the next thing you do now that you have this linear or chronologically
00:28:20.500
reordered bulleted numbered list of everything that fulfills this promise you want to see
00:28:27.980
is anything really important missing suppose you look at these steps and you realize
00:28:35.040
oh i totally forgot that you need to have one of the people at your company be listed as like the
00:28:42.440
compliance officer or something like that who's the contact person for this that you need to have
00:28:46.860
registered with the whatever i need to include that as well so is there anything that's obviously
00:28:51.420
missing so that way in case it wasn't top of mind in your brain dump and you forgot to write it down
00:28:56.060
anything missing you can now make sure it's no longer missing you add it this is where you could
00:29:03.440
do additional research. You could pull links. You could find the things that now need to be present
00:29:09.200
in order to have the best way to say it be the thing that is now that you have now written.
00:29:18.320
And then finally, finally, I'm going to put it over here so we can all make sure that we see it.
00:29:23.080
And then the final thing is going to be transitions.
00:29:26.800
transitions are key to make it readable to make it enjoyable now what do we mean by transitions well
00:29:37.720
here's the first thing i want to say about this okay and my brain dumped restructure uh the second
00:29:45.580
thing i want to talk about is this another third thing no one's reading that sorry even if you have
00:29:51.360
clickbait promise it's now going to feel like it was in fact clickbait sadly oh you promised all
00:29:57.680
these amazing things and then didn't actually deliver on them uh you hoser okay so you want
00:30:04.000
to ensure that there's preparation for the next thing you're about to say we've all heard the
00:30:10.000
expression tell them what you're going to tell them tell them then tell them what you told them
00:30:14.560
it's a little bit like that but in step one just as an example i'm going to illustrate this
00:30:24.480
because hypnosis technique and it's going to be a slightly slightly
00:30:33.840
slightly oversimplified but imagine you have step one here make sure it looks good okay imagine you
00:30:39.200
you have step two and imagine you have step three most people would explain this like oh no it is
00:30:46.500
it is in fact hoser not poser it is in fact hoser that's a thing people say in canada okay
00:30:51.620
i have a weird glare here okay there we go more intimate with joshua lyset so these are the three
00:30:58.880
these are the three steps it's a transition free experience step one is you're gonna do this and
00:31:03.680
then step two nobody wants to read that nobody wants to read that here's how you're gonna write
00:31:06.940
it you're gonna write it visit bet mgm casino and check out the newest exclusive the price is right

00:31:43.040
Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light.
00:31:52.540
Everyone who understands neuro-linguistic programming or hypnosis or hypnotherapy
00:32:07.420
understands what I just did. These are called nested loops. It is a way of preparing people
00:32:13.220
for the next thing, helping them understand the big picture without getting lost in the details.
00:32:17.640
so as i'm talking about step one i'm hinting at what's going to come in step two i'm hinting at
00:32:24.120
it okay i'm saying and you're going to need this later and this will become very important in just
00:32:30.000
one step or doesn't that make you wonder oh that's what comes next oh well fancy that i wasn't
00:32:39.960
expecting that who knew i want to make sure that i'm showing this here with my with my people over
00:32:46.440
on x but the point is you will then do the exact same thing with the second step you're going to
00:32:53.480
kind of prepare people for the third step that's what these loops here mean is you're sort of
00:32:58.200
talking about what's uh what's going to be happening next you're preparing them you're
00:33:02.320
hinting at it you're telegraphing it the thing is and then finally you want to explain holistically
00:33:08.760
here's what all three things in order will result in happening for you here are the benefits okay
00:33:17.400
let's say teaching the best way to say it live to scott adams fans okay very good thank you yes we
00:33:29.100
are a spontaneous people here at uh the joshua lisek experience of this of this whiteboard
00:33:33.920
inspired by the legendary great influencer scott adams so remember this nest this single loop right
00:33:40.340
here explains and now that you've done all three steps you are able to achieve the thing that i
00:33:45.520
promised you so it's not clickbait it's all bait and no hook i suppose because bait fishing hook
00:33:53.540
right it's like you put the bait on there and then you trick them and then you pull the fish
00:33:56.360
it's all bait and no hook wow i got a nice little snack it was worth it here with this
00:34:01.560
that is the process known as the best way to say it do we have any any questions or
00:34:06.440
hypotheticals joshua how would i do it like this either from uh you know the three of you here with
00:34:12.140
with me now or anyone in the anyone in the comments we can get to i love that i feel like
00:34:17.120
it's almost like if you had to think about um writing out directions for somebody to do something
00:34:26.000
and then if so i feel like i so i would write the way you're saying then i would go back
00:34:31.900
and try to imagine do or whatever the thing is that that was written so i'd be like okay so if
00:34:40.480
i do it exactly the way this was written will i get the result like when you said is anything
00:34:44.840
missing yeah it might be like you said you've got to like download this form and did it i mean
00:34:49.560
that's a huge part at that and a really good tidbit to give to somebody that might not know
00:34:56.040
you know the the ins and outs i always feel like i want to read things like you're saying that
00:35:02.200
always give me like a little bit of like behind the curtain and insider tips something that like
00:35:07.320
no duh i'm not going to just find anywhere else so i like the what's missing part the most i feel
00:35:13.800
like because um i always had this well so one of the things i do sometimes um in my other life is
00:35:23.000
help other businesses with things that they don't know that they're missing basically i call it uh
00:35:29.480
business betterment if anybody wants to use that feel free um and so it's like it's all the things
00:35:36.360
that i didn't know along the way because nobody told me and that's what is so important to offer
00:35:42.680
people it's like you know what nobody told me this i had to find out the hard way but i'm passing it
00:35:46.840
on to you and like, don't gatekeep things like that. Because if you release the gatekeeping,
00:35:52.860
I feel like then you're going to have people that are like, I'm going to him or I'm going to her
00:35:57.740
because they're not like trying to keep it all for themselves. And they're giving like the insider
00:36:02.640
tidbits. So I, I like the way you, you frame that. That wasn't a question. That was a comment.
00:36:09.600
Yes. Another, an analogy that I used. So I, this is, this is the best way to say it as a method
00:36:15.400
i teach and so good they call you a fake for for expanding it into books and then having the book
00:36:20.580
be sort of the uh the founder the foundation the cornerstone the linchpin pick your metaphor
00:36:25.960
of everything you do in your business so that your book is a basically your business operations
00:36:31.160
manual for getting results because then what you do is when you give everyone the instructions
00:36:36.880
to get the amazing result that people pay a lot of money for they read it and they go
00:36:41.460
this is literally everything i will ever need step by step with no step skipped yes that's way more
00:36:48.360
than i thought it was going to be can i hire you to assemble it for me can i hire you to just to
00:36:52.780
just do all of this for me i understand like i got all the things i read your book this is what i
00:36:57.640
want done i don't have time for that crap right you want to strategically overwhelm readers in
00:37:02.920
your sub stack or your linkedin or your thread or your book or what have you and then when they feel
0.85
00:37:08.520
the, oh man, this is going to be hard. Oh, by the way, I do this for a living for people. You can
00:37:15.320
get on my email list and learn more with this free bonus chapter that's now available to you.
00:37:19.720
There's this infographic that puts everything here in just one place. Wouldn't you like to
00:37:23.820
get this freebie? Oh, what's this? There's a free call booking link available. Oh, isn't that
00:37:29.700
convenient? Just as I was thinking, this is going to be too hard to do it myself. I learned that
00:37:33.840
the author does all of this thing for people just like me for reasonable fee oh isn't that
00:37:41.600
interesting i think i should book that but i don't have any objections now anymore i'm not
00:37:46.600
making this person compete on price because i read their book or what have you this is all
00:37:52.420
persuasion all of this and it's it's trademark not copywritten because it's an actual experience
00:37:58.480
it's a it's a unique way of doing business it's a unique way of things rather than copyrighted
00:38:02.420
but copyright trademark. I've ghostwritten some books on that too. Pick a topic, people,
00:38:07.120
and I've ghostwritten something on it. One exception is when I challenged people on this,
00:38:11.800
one exception I got one time was, have you ever written about taxidermy? I'm like,
00:38:17.140
I have not written on taxidermy. So almost everything I've written something about.
00:38:22.500
Well, there you go. Get on it. And actually, if you want to write on taxidermy, I want to know,
00:38:29.800
this is a serious question. So maybe you could take it from this standpoint. It's a very long
00:38:34.740
story. I'll save it for the, uh, the cave one night you guys, but I have a goldfish who's in
00:38:40.500
a bag of frozen water in my freezer for about 10 years now. I want to taxidermy him. Um, or I want
00:38:50.800
to put them into like a paperweight, like an acrylic paperweight. You guys, you just, you have
00:38:55.600
no idea anyway so i do want to know can you taxidermy a goldfish he's a pretty good size
00:39:02.600
his name was jeter and um maybe you could write a story about jeter my goldfish
00:39:07.160
go ahead marcella look at look at poor joshua he's like have you have you done um i had never
00:39:16.060
asked you to have you done fantasy like uh like a like ghost written for fantasy meaning like
00:39:23.400
the lord of the rings type you know that kind of fun enough i got my start as a ghost writer
00:39:30.760
completely by accident because i i began my career as a as a literary professional as a
00:39:36.940
novelist by the way i had my own we'll slide this off here i had my own um novel series and kind of
00:39:44.400
it was it was in the adventure thriller action let's say space and uh what happened was i wrote
00:39:51.900
I wrote these novels teeny tiny book publishing experience deal etc and then people are reading
00:39:58.260
my novels and asking me if I will write their life story like it's a novel because they tried
00:40:02.140
to write their autobiography it reads like a wikipedia article nobody wants to read that
00:40:06.040
can you write it more like a memoir where there's like characters and dialogue and setting
00:40:09.860
descriptions and inciting instant and a three-act story to kind of make some sense of my life so
00:40:14.360
even I felt like my life meant something I go okay sure and I do yes and so that is the experience
00:40:21.880
of Joshua Lise becoming a nonfiction ghostwriter is people want to have the inspired by true
00:40:27.540
events version of their life story, which is way better than the real thing.
00:40:30.620
Wait, so you have all these, these, these novels that, uh, how do you, how do I get
00:40:40.800
As far as I know, there's like three copies in existence anywhere in the world now.
00:40:45.900
I mean, obviously people have, you know, people have purchased them a decade plus ago.
00:40:51.640
they exist somewhere. But I have written fiction since then. You did ask about fantasy,
00:40:58.620
so I will start there. I began, let's see, I was, I would have been 14, 15 years old when I started
00:41:05.920
writing my own sort of fantasy series saga, and I never actually finished it. I think I was
00:41:11.980
interrupted by end of my high school experience, sort of college, and I sort of did the brain dump
00:41:19.360
of all the things to say. And I didn't quite know what the method was for writing. I didn't quite
00:41:24.660
understand three-act story structures, starting at the end in mind, building your entire arc of
00:41:30.300
the protagonist around the antagonist. I didn't quite understand that. The balance of world
00:41:35.880
building versus action of the characters. All of the things that make, or rather separate good from
00:41:42.120
bad fiction, I didn't quite understand yet. I think the premise was pretty solid. And there
00:41:46.780
a few, let's say, fiction pieces that I have started since then that I thought would be an
00:41:51.960
interesting idea. But because of the business value created by a nonfiction book, where a CEO
00:41:57.720
or an entrepreneur or a founder or a management consultant can say, I literally wrote the book
00:42:01.680
on this business enterprise, hire me, dish. That's what I've been doing for more than 10 years now,
00:42:07.480
is writing those books for those founders, consultants, etc.
00:42:09.980
um joshua a couple of things one imagine the fantasy slash romance novel you could write
00:42:22.400
now compared to when you were writing things in 2012 like how much you've changed um that was just
00:42:30.500
a request. We want one, Joshua. And also, I just want to shout out to the most amazing comments
00:42:40.960
going by in the chat of how many people have some sort of pet in their freezer. It's quite amazing.
00:42:49.540
I mean, I thought I was going to be like shunned, but wow. So Joshua, I wanted to ask you if you
00:42:56.820
could give us an assignment. So I was saying to you, I feel like a lot of people are stressed
00:43:03.520
out right now. And I think writing can be very meditative. Um, you can use it as an escape,
00:43:09.900
whether it's for like 15 minutes, a half an hour, an hour, whatever. So could you give us an
00:43:16.280
assignment of, you know, how we can just sit down and just start to write and like, just to not,
00:43:23.780
like we don't want to be burdened by like picking a title or a topic. Maybe you could even give us
00:43:28.860
a topic and everybody can write about the same thing. Oh, okay. Can we do this? You give us a
00:43:35.780
topic. Okay. Everybody listen class project for extra credit. Okay. Joshua. Yes. Everyone write
00:43:42.740
this down. Joshua is going to give us a topic. We're going to all set a timer. Let's just do
00:43:48.360
10 minutes. Okay. 10 minutes. That's doable for everybody can carve out 10 minutes.
00:43:53.120
And Joshua is going to give us instructions on how to begin this process and quickly write for
00:43:59.120
10 minutes. And then if you're so inclined, I think it would be so interesting for us to post
00:44:04.880
what we wrote. If you can, um, I'll make a link with Joshua and all of us. If you want to share
00:44:11.800
and post what you wrote, how interesting it would be to see all the different variations that come
00:44:17.900
from a topic, maybe Joshua gives us an actual title, because that's the kind of the hardest
00:44:22.820
part. So let's, let's just see how that could go. So what do you think, Joshua?
00:44:28.260
Sure. I, because I sort of work in the experts niche of book publishing, where, you know,
00:44:34.880
like looking on my shelf, I have books by physicians, clinicians, surgeons, lawyers,
00:44:39.920
attorneys, accountants, you know, people who have multiple letters behind their last name
00:44:43.980
for one various degree's professional certification
00:44:48.920
Consulting hypnotists also have that, by the way.
00:45:03.460
And a number of you are something like best kept secret
00:45:07.000
of your niche, your space, your industry, your thing.
00:45:10.000
You have a decade, two, three even of results achieved, but you have like 45 followers on X.
00:45:21.820
Okay, now you have a nice website and it looks pretty and whatnot, but like, is there inbound?
00:45:27.200
Is there that opportunity mill working on your behalf?
00:45:32.460
And we have all heard the expression of thought leadership, okay?
00:45:37.700
There is a quote that I don't recall who said it,
00:45:48.420
So what I'm going to recommend as the assignment here
00:45:51.020
is to become a thought leader in one simple step.
00:45:55.220
And that is to follow the best way to say it method
00:46:13.740
And I would like to assign you the breaking news subject.
00:46:24.780
So in my case, in the ghostwriting and publishing space,
00:46:31.720
pointing out that 90% of the ghostwriting profession
0.98
00:46:41.840
They don't like knowing that it was generative AI.
00:46:48.840
So I'm getting interviewed left and right by people
00:46:51.100
because I am the breaking news with that headline of
00:46:53.040
90% of your entire business is gone as a ghostwriter
00:47:05.960
five years ago, 10 years ago. Let's say they're landscapers now. They work at a nonprofit,
00:47:11.460
let's say, or they're one lady. She became a certified esthetician and they're not ghost
0.60
00:47:16.680
writing anymore. I ghostwrite still and make a living doing this and co-authoring books
00:47:21.780
because I write the things that AI is not allowed to say. So I will be in business for a while
00:47:28.080
because I go past the edge where it says, as an LLM, I'm unable to blah, blah, blah. Maybe an LLM
00:47:34.340
is not able to but a jl is right is the breaking news of your space what is it what's what's the
00:47:41.740
new regulation the new policy and this you can just simply repurpose the best way to say it
00:47:47.300
could we could we update it a little bit because there are a lot of people that are not working
00:47:53.980
haven't worked and they are not in that space so i wanted to do something i love that idea and by
00:48:00.080
the way that's something everyone who is in an industry should be writing for sure but i want
00:48:06.240
to do one where we're all writing on the same exact thing so whether it's like something generic
00:48:13.760
and we all have the same title it's like a specific title and i just want to see like
00:48:19.840
how each one of us processes this one thing so maybe i'm i can't even think of a title right now
00:48:26.320
but um just something that's like universal because there's just so many people that aren't
00:48:33.120
professionals i i could i would have a hard time doing what you're saying too because i'm in so
00:48:37.680
many different areas but um i want to think of the people that are retired that aren't working that
00:48:43.200
were homemakers they raised children like what's something we can all write about i think you're
00:48:49.920
breaking yeah i do think the breaking news can be repurposed actually for for this for this people
00:49:03.480
What goes on in your town, your city, your village?
00:49:11.720
Suppose one goes to Google, google.com slash news.
00:49:21.980
of your industry, just search it in Google News.
00:49:33.280
And the same would apply for your city or your village
00:49:43.620
And it's also a way of actually learning new things
00:49:46.680
and getting into the world of a ghostwriter a little bit,
00:49:52.080
you gotta write this, okay, now write this book
00:49:54.060
about these things that you may not personally know
00:49:56.100
or understand, so now you have this whole assignment
00:50:06.820
or those who are homemakers or stay-at-home daddy bloggers,
00:50:09.980
let's say, I believe this assignment is relevant
00:50:11.960
to them as well to actually learn what's going on.
00:50:13.860
Because as a thought leader, sometimes your job
00:50:17.840
not to know everything it's to curate the important things okay so we can do something
00:50:25.400
new about ourselves and each other well and if you have like multiple things going on maybe just pick
00:50:30.240
one of them and and just vote because again just i i think just commit to 10 minutes you could do
00:50:37.420
15 minutes like 10 or 15 minutes so you're not like you know taking away from other things you
00:50:42.060
need to do, but I think it is meditative. Um, and again, so now it's industry specific. So we'll
00:50:49.200
see that, you know, what, what your industry is. Um, and we'll get to know more about you that way.
00:50:54.820
It's a great idea. So we'll make a post Joshua or Josh, why don't you make a post include the
00:51:01.120
Scott Adams school in the link and like tag Marcella and Owen and I, and then you guys,
00:51:06.060
if you want to post and then Joshua can, you know, glance over them too. And, you know,
00:51:10.860
sure he'll have feedback or you know some kind of uh interesting take on on all of our different
00:51:17.820
positions what do you guys think are you in do it now we had some good titles why is fluffy
00:51:25.180
in the freezer why i hate gardening something about false eyelashes so yes i mean all of these
00:51:34.540
things let's do it i i love that and that way it's like a little extra credit project we get to do
00:51:39.420
together from the scott adams school and our guest professor marzella what do you think are
00:51:45.660
you going to do it yeah i may write how i prepare my coffee listen whatever i'm kind of you know
00:51:54.460
because the the other thing would be writing about being a lawyer or or like a ai maybe taking over
00:52:01.020
my job which like joshua i do some controversial cases ai does not go there so it does help that
00:52:11.980
you know but it it you know it's sort of different i mean i want to read that article marcella i want
00:52:17.500
to read the article the breaking news of of uh ai is is what what is a generative ai done to the
00:52:23.020
legal profession and what are the untouchable cases for ai i mean that sounds kind of interesting
00:52:27.500
the untouchable cases all right i mean kimberly it's not homework it's just for fun we just use
00:52:33.580
school terminology you're gonna be graded you're gonna be graded and if it's not good you have to
00:52:38.860
sit in the back of tomorrow's live stream no one will be getting graded it's just for fun
00:52:45.340
someone says no they're not doing it they would rather go to detention
00:52:48.780
oh detention might be the name of our uh nightly cave so and should we add that you cannot use ai
00:52:55.580
to write this yes it is nowhere at this procedure did i say use ai because you ai doesn't know
00:53:01.340
what's inside your brain necessarily what not yet when one's doing the brain dump it's about getting
00:53:06.540
all the things that are top of mind for you down and on and on paper and then some people will say
00:53:11.580
well i'll just then copy and paste my brain dump into ai and have it restructure it ai doesn't have
00:53:16.620
all the nuance that you do it will like organize it in a way and this is why it's so difficult to
00:53:23.180
use ai to write non-fiction is because non-fiction has to be step by step with no step skipped
00:53:29.420
and if ai because a is not embodied it hasn't actually tried to physically swing a golf club
00:53:35.580
or prepare the coffee or do whatever the thing is that you're teaching how to do
00:53:40.620
or adjust your career to the onslaught of generative ai ironically ai rewriting ai how does
00:53:46.220
that work it's very difficult i have found to straightforwardly just have prompt ai very simply
00:53:53.100
and then have it write something out here and it it's it's rather hard it's actually faster just
00:53:59.260
write the thing yourself in my opinion yeah we want you to the whole point is like the experience
00:54:05.340
of writing it to typing it handwriting it whatever you want to do if you hand write it take a picture
00:54:10.620
of it and upload it. Um, but it's just the experience of like having that quiet time
00:54:16.180
and using your brain and really like thinking about a subject for 10 to 15 minutes takes
00:54:20.900
your mind off of everything else. You could just put every, it's like putting your phone
00:54:25.060
down, you know, just take a pause, do something that you wouldn't normally do, write about
00:54:29.420
something you wouldn't normally write about. Um, really the world's your oyster. It doesn't
00:54:33.860
have to fully be your main industry. It could be any part of your life. Let's just put it
00:54:39.060
that way but just tell us you know the breaking news of that part of your life i love that joshua
00:54:44.880
i think that's good i think we'll all enjoy doing that um i'll go ahead and share that today's show
00:54:49.800
with that uh assignment i'll tag the three of you and this game kind of be the thread everyone post
00:54:54.480
your post your link to your article that you've written up uh the breaking news of your world
00:54:59.380
and some people will say well you know we we had the first the first ever uh disturbance of the
00:55:05.820
piece in my little village of 150 people well that's interesting i didn't know your village
00:55:10.100
existed all right so joshua will write out the assignment in a post on x and we can also post
00:55:16.720
it on locals for those of you not on x and so it will say i'll i'll share it to locals joshua
00:55:23.420
um so it can so you'll write the title you know uh breaking news of your world we'll call it
00:55:30.340
instead of industry. And he'll give the little parameters. And again, just 10, 15, 20 minutes,
00:55:38.120
don't make it like a project project. No one's being graded. It's just for fun. It's just to
00:55:43.920
kind of go through what Joshua taught us today. So I cannot wait to read the comments after this
00:55:49.140
show. They are off the chain today. I love it. You want to write about contrarians. Okay, do it.
00:55:58.440
do you post in the x community erica that's why i keep missing things i do dave i do um
00:56:05.840
if you guys go to scott adams page also we repost this show every day all of our links for x are in
00:56:15.440
that uh post joshua's will also be in there um so listen you need pope jokes okay so yes we're
00:56:23.660
looking we're looking after you guys we want your brains to keep functioning and uh joshua is like
00:56:29.060
the best person to get us thinking calmly and critically which i like i like it everybody said
00:56:35.920
joshua's so calming i love when he's here i'm like exactly did i attend villanova
00:56:42.200
um okay guys any pope jokes i don't have any pope jokes does anyone have a quick pope joke

00:56:58.820
that you want to close with or discuss no we'll we'll have news tomorrow we have a lot of news
00:57:05.700
yeah we have a lot of news that's going on i have i have one what there you go uh what what do what
00:57:11.320
do catholics do when they get arguments over the catechism what they pope and seethe oh lordy
00:57:18.540
bless your soul and i laugh i'm like bless your soul
00:57:23.320
do you have any um any tips on writing uh x post is that the same as writing a book
00:57:33.280
or is there a slightly difference it is uh with the best way to say it methodology i just showed
00:57:40.800
here i do unfold this all the way out to non-fiction books it has to do with a number of
00:57:48.600
steps so for example let's say i'm going to use a golf metaphor okay so suppose you're teaching
00:57:55.880
how to put the ball straight on the green so you swing the club back swing it forwards and the ball
00:58:01.780
kind of goes where you exactly aimed for it given the undulation of the green that could probably be
00:58:06.660
an article. If it's how to go from never swinging a golf club to winning your first amateur tournament
00:58:16.600
in 12 months or less, is that an article or is that a book? That really, really, really needs
00:58:24.440
the book. If not a book plus a companion workshop course with video content that's available for
00:58:34.020
Okay, so it has to do with the scope of the thing.
00:58:36.580
If you're teaching, like, here's one little thing to do,
00:58:57.660
go. All right, you guys. Thank you so much, Joshua. I'm glad you got in here. We really
00:59:04.700
miss you. So we're glad you come on and visit with us. You're part of the family. And tomorrow
00:59:12.180
we have so much news to get to. It's insanity. So we'll be here tomorrow. Is tomorrow Friday?
00:59:18.360
No. Yes. What the heck? These weeks are flying by. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You guys,
00:59:33.420
I took Owen off the screen and then I, he's gone.
00:59:55.680
but I'll be on the what to be named cave. And we want to just say to be useful, to get out there
01:00:04.760
and touch some grass, do your writing assignment, check Joshua's Twitter handle, X handle. I will
01:00:10.820
also repost Joshua's post to locals and don't be embarrassed. Remember, don't be embarrassed or
01:00:17.640
afraid to share your writing. Like you are so not being judged. And maybe this is a really good way
01:00:23.300
for those of you that have a fear of that to, to get over it because literally no one cares. I mean,
01:00:28.740
look at us. We come on here every day, you know, we're just putting it out there. I don't care.
01:00:34.120
It's all good. So, um, we do our best. You do your best. Be useful to, um, Shelly and to Scott
01:00:40.920

0.98
01:01:23.420
No, you guys are just as insane and I'm so here for it.
0.95
01:01:35.160
Bye. So I only can stay for a minute. It says, thank God it's Friday inside of the Pope's
01:01:43.940
slippers for toes going first. Oh, love it. You love the extra visit. You guys, oh, you guys,
01:01:54.140
I see Dr. Von Hardy. Thank you for making us a thumbnail. You guys, I need thumbnails for the
01:02:01.920
show. So if you guys want to play around with AI, that could be something else that's fun and
01:02:06.960
meditative. Um, but make us little thumbnails. You know how we put one in for each show.
01:02:11.820
We need a few. Yay. Bonus. Um, yay. Okay. Who's, Oh, look at this dog. So pretty.
01:02:23.360
I mean, Darla, I could write about my frozen pet. It's really like a, it's just,
01:02:29.600
Oh my God. Behind me, you guys, wait, can you see it? Let me see.
01:02:36.860
Okay. So follow my finger. Wait, right. Okay. Right here, tucked in next to a picture of my
01:02:45.340
dad right here. It's a little tiny like mason jar with my other fish, George. That was George
01:02:52.840
Steinbrenner. So I put him in the freezer because he died young and I put him in the freezer
01:02:58.960
in a Ziploc bag. Cause I was like, I can't flush them. Okay. I just couldn't do it.
01:03:04.120
Um, Oh wait, how about I'm telling this to everybody? Hold the phone, Erica.
01:03:12.060
Oh my God. I'm like telling everybody this story and it wasn't just rumble on YouTube.
01:03:16.380
So I put him in the freezer and he got freezer burn. And I was like, Oh no. So
01:03:27.440
he's very wispy. He's like disintegrating and all that good stuff. Oh my God, look at that cat.
01:03:35.640
So I don't have a business call business betterment, but my tagline is business betterment.
01:03:42.060
Um, I don't do it as much anymore. I just don't have time, but I, I was like heavy into that.
01:03:48.520
Like people would have me come in and look at their business, um, other business owners. And
01:03:53.460
Sometimes it's really just so easy for someone else on the outside to look in and be like
01:03:59.600
Here's what I see right away. Here's what I gather from talking to people
01:04:03.480
Here's my experience on your website. Here's my experience
01:04:07.820
You know trying to get information or this is what your marketing material comes off as
01:04:12.920
Um, i'm very opinionated. So it kind of comes natural to me
01:04:18.700
Yikes. Oh, so K-Blues, I have all the resin stuff in this cabinet. I bought the epoxy,
0.97
01:04:27.720
the this, the that, the UV light thing, the molds. All right. You guys, I'm sorry. Don't
01:04:34.740
be embarrassed. I'm not sorry, but I'm just telling you. I was afraid to do the taxidermy
01:04:42.020
thing for Jeter because I don't want to mess it up. I have to figure out a way to get him
01:04:48.080
dehydrated, but I still want him to stay like a little bit plump. And I think that I found this
01:04:54.460
spray that I can spray him with. But so in order to, I need to practice first. Okay. So a couple
01:05:01.460
of years ago, we were at like an Italian festival of all things where you can throw a ping pong ball
01:05:05.840
and win a goldfish kind of a thing or some little fish. So I went up to the kid that was working
01:05:10.700
that booth and I was like, listen, I know this is really crazy, but do you have any dead fish?
01:05:16.080
and he's like, Oh yeah, we have lots of dead fish. And I'm like, could I just have one? I was like,
01:05:21.640
I know it sounds crazy, but I'm trying to turn one into a paperweight and he didn't care, but
01:05:26.580
he's like, yeah, lady. So he gave me like three dead fish and he put it in one of the, I'm like,
01:05:32.740
make it look like it's not dead. So he put it like in the bag or whatever it was.
01:05:36.720
So I individually put them in bricks of ice in the freezer because I'm going to practice with
01:05:41.520
them before I get to Jeter. I don't know. This is where I'm at, but Jeter has been dead for a very
01:05:47.880
long time. I'd say eight to 10 years he's probably been gone. So, oh no, it's about, oh God, no,
01:05:56.080
it's been about 12 years he's been in the freezer. Stella's right next to me sleeping. She's on
01:06:03.220
um, a chair perched in the window. So everybody who's not a vegan has dead animals in the freezer.
01:06:13.700
Good Lord. Yes. A practice run. Oh, and J it's crazy. So it's just funny. And when I opened the
01:06:25.080
freezer, I'm always like, Hey Jeter, but I had him from the day he was born. The people that
01:06:29.080
lived across the street from me had a koi pond and they had goldfish and koi and whatever.
01:06:34.740
And the day that they were born, he's like, Hey, you want to pet goldfish? I'm like, Oh,
01:06:38.940
you got to give me two. And I mean, he was like this big him. And so it was George Steinbrenner
01:06:45.500
and Jeter. And so I had them in this bowl on my kitchen counter and, um, and so she, uh, George
01:06:55.260
died, uh, maybe like a year in, he didn't make it, which, you know, goldfish, but Jeter, look at my
01:07:01.480
glasses are crooked. Jeter was going so strong. He, I had him for years and he was like very
01:07:08.260
interactive. Like we had a lot of fun. Okay. You guys, I'm going to just tell you this story. And
01:07:13.100
then, and then I'm getting off because this is just too much personal information. Will I freeze
01:07:18.280
Stella? No. Every fish matters, right? So one day after, this is after George died,
01:07:30.580
I come downstairs and Jeter's upside down. And I'm like, oh no, what is happening to him? This
01:07:36.420
is really before the internet was jamming with information. And so I put some of his little
01:07:44.380
flaky food in there. And he would try to like get himself right side up and eat. And then he'd float
01:07:49.400
upside down again. I'm like, all right, he wants to eat. Like, I don't know what's happening. So
01:07:53.760
I start Googling, Google, Google, Google. And I find somewhere a suggestion to try to feed him
01:08:02.220
peas. And that maybe because his food is dehydrated, that's what's happening. So I got a bag.
01:08:09.080
No, that's a lie. I had to test it. So I got a can of peas, can of peas, and put them in the
01:08:18.740
freezer, drained them, put them in a freezer, like in a Tupperware container. Then what I would do
01:08:23.640
is I would take one out and it would like thaw in like a second between my fingers. And I would
01:08:28.280
just like push on it. And the pea would come out of the little skin and drop it in the tank.
01:08:32.940
and he would eat the pea. And because it wasn't this dehydrated food anymore, after like two days,
01:08:39.820
he righted himself. And then he lived for like five more years and like quadrupled in size.
01:08:46.640
So he used to eat frozen peas, fresh little canned peas, nothing fresh about canned peas.
01:08:54.840
And he lived and grew and got so big. And I would like change his water with him staying in the
01:09:00.760
bowl. You know how they're like, you have to acclimate them and blah, blah, blah. He was in
01:09:03.820
a bowl that was like this. And I would just run the tap water. I would drain half the bowl while
01:09:10.580
he's in there. I'd pour the water in. So the jet of the water would like kind of stir up the bottom
01:09:15.300
and I'd pour out like the dirty water, put more water, pour it out till it was like clean and put
01:09:20.820
them right back on the counter. And he had all that like oxygen in the water and he was eating
01:09:25.640
peas and I'd give him a little bit of flake food here and there. But man, we were like happy as
01:09:32.140
little clams, the two of us. He had a nice big bowl. It was amazing. Yep. That was my story.
01:09:38.260
I can't believe I just shared that on here. How'd you like it? I did. I saved him. I fixed him with
01:09:44.840
peas. And when you think about it, that food he was eating was like little cardboard flakes and
01:09:51.680
he wouldn't have been eating that in the water, right? Why would I give him dehydrated food? It
01:09:55.780
makes no sense. Makes no sense. So, oh, you're laughing. I love that. Water. I say water. Do
01:10:06.880
I say it weird? Is it Jersey? Oh, did you guys see, I'm going to show her tomorrow, the
01:10:11.340
politician. I don't want to say, I think she's a congressperson in New Jersey. I'm not sure.
01:10:20.080
But anyway, she's amazing. I've already friended her on X and she is so good. She is so Jersey
01:10:27.960
and I'm going to get her on this show. I'm telling you, you're going to love her.
01:10:31.320
I saved him with pee water. Don't pee in the water. Oh my gosh. You like it, Mary Kay? That's
01:10:39.960
so funny. They take a drink while eating dehydrated fish flakes. I know, but it's like this paper.
01:11:20.560

01:11:41.400

01:14:31.040
which way my, um, day shakes out. And you guys, I, I purchased a little convertible car from a
01:14:39.920
friend of mine. It's like a 2014, but I always, my whole life wanted a convertible and it's like
01:14:47.040
a retractable hard top. That was the only priority. I wanted it to be a hard top that
01:14:51.960
retracts, not the soft one. And so I finally got it. I had to do a little fixing up to it because
01:14:57.740
it needs some mechanical stuff and whatever. Again, it's not like a shiny hiney, but it's so
01:15:03.480
cute. And I just want to take it for a ride today so bad. So I think I'm going to do a few errands
01:15:08.600
with it and just let the wind go by. I'm very much looking forward to it. So, um, it's a dream
01:15:15.840
come true for me. I'm very excited. Comedy show for you today. Ooh, you're going to a comedy show.
01:15:23.020
Oh, Julie, that's awesome. You guys really, you know, I was talking to Marcella yesterday and I
01:15:28.900
was just saying like how amazing, honestly, like we feel everybody is and that we really look
01:15:36.720
forward to coming on and seeing everybody and doing this. So, you know, thank you guys so much
01:15:42.200
for showing up for us and, um, you know, to keeping this group together. If we don't show up,
01:15:47.740
we can't keep it going. Right. Um, so I like, I like that we're all still together.
01:15:53.420
I love it. All right, you guys. So, um, convertibles are overrated when you get hit by a
01:16:00.320
bug on your forehead at 70 for the first time. Yes. I know we have motorcycles. I know that pain.
01:16:06.340
We have motorcycles and boats. We go boating a lot. So I've been hit in the face. I've been
01:16:12.840
hit in the face. Um, Scott Ritchie make today's special for sure. You guys are the glue.
01:16:22.860
