- 2:20Speaker 3: doing coupon books or kmart and they would print. Grandma
- 2:27Speaker 3: surely would create the ads for the coupon book, and
- 2:31Speaker 3: then Grandpa would print on a printing press that we had,

- 5:37Speaker 3: to succeed and be one another.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Right, if you had if you had the time travel
- 5:47Speaker 2: to go back to the moment there. What would you
- 5:50Speaker 2: change anything?
- 5:56Speaker 1: Well, I wish that the building would have led to
- 6:02Speaker 1: and I would have liked everybody.
- 6:11Speaker 2: All right, okay, Uh did you ever encounter any ghost
- 6:19Speaker 2: moments on your computer or going to meetings when you
- 6:23Speaker 2: went there?
- 6:25Speaker 3: I never heard that, but I know that did happen
- 6:28Speaker 3: that had never never experienced that.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god? Right right, I remember it happened to me.
- 6:38Speaker 2: But I don't really want to go on in this episode,
- 6:42Speaker 2: but I know it happened plenty of times. I have
- 6:48Speaker 2: to do it to another episode.
- 6:50Speaker 1: The well, the building that we're in, right.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Uh. So, how did you think your DG Solutions experience was.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Dgsons?
- 7:06Speaker 2: What was experience? Yes?
- 7:14Speaker 3: Oh, well, I mean I enjoy it, you know, it's
- 7:25Speaker 3: it's uh. I've always been in our family business, so
- 7:28Speaker 3: I have enjoyed sharing in that with our family, you know,
- 7:34Speaker 3: watching it become successful.
- 7:37Speaker 2: H Right, So how do you think they came up
- 7:47Speaker 2: with all the names changes and why they had so
- 7:50Speaker 2: many name changes?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Well, it started with Dixie Crap. It was a printing
- 7:58Speaker 3: cup in the South, and then we went through a
- 8:04Speaker 3: period where people were thinking that it and did others
- 8:12Speaker 3: that lived in the the South the word Dixie because
- 8:15Speaker 3: that was from.
- 8:18Speaker 1: When the North and South fought and time of slavery,
- 8:23Speaker 1: you know, things like that.
- 8:24Speaker 3: So they decided they would change to DG Solutions.
- 8:30Speaker 1: So then they did that.
- 8:33Speaker 3: H had DG Solutions for many years and now GG
- 8:38Speaker 3: Insight as we are more.
- 8:41Speaker 1: In the healthcare.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Helping the healthcare system like get insight patient care.
- 8:50Speaker 2: All right, what what do you think is the hardest
- 8:54Speaker 2: client you guys had to work with?
- 8:58Speaker 1: First client in US? I don't really know.
- 9:07Speaker 3: I mean every we've we've worked hard on every job
- 9:12Speaker 3: that we've had.
- 9:16Speaker 1: I think they've all uh.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Challenges, but they were good that we were able to conquer.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Okay, what's your favorite moment at DG's Solutions.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Mhm.
- 9:37Speaker 3: We used to go these have big like parties celebrations
- 9:44Speaker 3: with the company and where we would get a limo
- 9:48Speaker 3: and we well, we'd get several limos and have all
- 9:53Speaker 3: of them ride a limo down to where there was
- 9:58Speaker 3: I can't remember the name of the place that we went,
- 10:00Speaker 3: but it had all sorts of like.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Video game.
- 10:09Speaker 3: I don't know, it's like an adult kind of arcade thing.
- 10:11Speaker 3: I can't remember where it was, but.
- 10:13Speaker 1: It was fun.
- 10:15Speaker 2: What was the first computer you used at DG Solutions?
- 10:20Speaker 1: Goodness, I have.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Been a Mac computer because that's what Grandma taught me
- 10:25Speaker 3: how to work on on Photoshop and sort of.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Graphic graphic arts kind of software on the Mac.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Right old computers.
- 10:40Speaker 1: M hm.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Did you ever see the film that they did they
- 10:45Speaker 2: filmed next Door?
- 10:49Speaker 1: I've seen.
- 10:50Speaker 3: The only thing I've seen is like The Residents, which
- 10:53Speaker 3: is a TV show.
- 10:54Speaker 1: That it's still there. Wow. But I know they did
- 11:00Speaker 1: what Vampire Diaries and things like that.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Too, right, all right, so we're gonna spend a little
- 11:06Speaker 2: bit more time here. I mean, we talked about DG Solutions,
- 11:10Speaker 2: but I'm trying to make it to like thirty minute marks,
- 11:13Speaker 2: so the show's not too short, uh so or longer.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I just don't want it too long, but I don't
- 11:21Speaker 2: want it too short either. But anyway, uh so, do
- 11:27Speaker 2: you still have the typewriter that you wrote Red Shoes Dancing?
- 11:32Speaker 3: I do not.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I don't even remember what typewriter that was. But do
- 11:36Speaker 1: not have that? I wish I did.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Do you have the red Redbone?
- 11:41Speaker 1: Nope? I don't know what happened to that either.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so are you okay? So the success of
- 11:51Speaker 2: the Red Shoes Dancing Books, right, do you think the
- 11:55Speaker 2: books are have been really successful?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Mhmm, Well define success. I mean, you guys hadn't fun
- 12:05Speaker 1: doing it.
- 12:07Speaker 3: And it made it all the way into a actual book,
- 12:12Speaker 3: you know, So I think that is successful. Whether you've
- 12:16Speaker 3: had you know, been a New York.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Times bestselling author before, had.
- 12:27Speaker 3: You know, sold many copies, that's that's different. But as
- 12:35Speaker 3: far as taking the idea and you know, writing a
- 12:40Speaker 3: book and all work that goes into it, plus finding
- 12:44Speaker 3: somebody do the artwork and getting it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Put on on online or whatever to so, I think
- 12:51Speaker 1: that's very accessful.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Right.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Uh So who's your favorite care or in the Red
- 13:00Speaker 2: Shoe Dancing Books.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Let's see with the lady.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Yeah, how about least favorite.
- 13:19Speaker 1: The mean kids?
- 13:21Speaker 2: Oh yeah? What was it like using a typewriter compared
- 13:26Speaker 2: to a computer.
- 13:30Speaker 1: That's challenging because.
- 13:33Speaker 3: You know, if you mess up, there used to be
- 13:36Speaker 3: the correction tape you can go back and type back
- 13:40Speaker 3: over it. It was like white it's like white out
- 13:44Speaker 3: is today. But uh, a typewriter is very different than
- 13:50Speaker 3: a computer.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Right, because they didn't have they didn't have like, uh,
- 13:57Speaker 2: what is it grammar check and all that back then
- 13:59Speaker 2: on a time priorory you had to just wipe it out.
- 14:02Speaker 2: So so it's harder with.
- 14:05Speaker 1: A new piece of paper.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got that and then uh but and
- 14:12Speaker 2: then you have the MAX came along and you got
- 14:15Speaker 2: grammar check and all that.
- 14:17Speaker 1: But uh, I.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Mean, computers have come a long way, but it feels like,
- 14:22Speaker 2: you know, AI is coming to take us away. What
- 14:29Speaker 2: do you think of about the AI, mama.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it kind of scares me, but I also
- 14:36Speaker 3: see a lot of really cool stuff that they're able to.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Do with it. So I wouldn't want it to kick over.
- 14:46Speaker 3: Everything you know, are needed for, but I like certain
- 14:52Speaker 3: things that it can do I find very interesting.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that. Have you seen that Megan Fox movie.
- 14:58Speaker 2: It's a AI robot. She comes in, Uh, she's like
- 15:05Speaker 2: a housekeeper in his house and then tries to kill them.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Oh goodness, I don't think i've seen that.
- 15:12Speaker 2: It's it's a good movie. It's on Netflix if you
- 15:14Speaker 2: ever want to watch it. It's really good. Meg and
- 15:16Speaker 2: Fox probably your best movie. And she's single now.
- 15:22Speaker 1: So.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That's that's interesting. Uh. Yeah, today I'm using my old
- 15:29Speaker 2: mic because my new mic is hooked up to my
- 15:31Speaker 2: new computer, So that's a little bit different. But yeah,
- 15:37Speaker 2: I mean I usually like my newer mic because I
- 15:40Speaker 2: have I done a podcast on my new I don't know.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Uh but anyway, uh so, so you think AI robots
- 15:49Speaker 2: are going to take over the world.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Well, they seem to do a lot of stuff and
- 15:55Speaker 3: then but now you know, they got like real walkings
- 15:58Speaker 3: to better doing things.
- 16:01Speaker 1: So, I don't know, very weird.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very weird. It's it scares me too. I'm like,
- 16:07Speaker 2: are they going to have a robot that take over
- 16:10Speaker 2: my podcast next? So, I mean, it won't be FJ
- 16:15Speaker 2: after midnight podcast tring, these six will be AI robots.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Right, a robot after midnight?
- 16:22Speaker 2: I mean you got like Joe Rogan, uh ai, you
- 16:26Speaker 2: know we listened to the other day and then uh
- 16:30Speaker 2: the regular Joe Rogan, which the regular Joe Rogan's pretty good.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Sound like you know, the real answers that would have
- 16:44Speaker 3: been given. I didn't think are the real person. That
- 16:46Speaker 3: didn't sound like it to me.
- 16:47Speaker 2: That didn't Yeah, that did not sound like Donald Trump.
- 16:51Speaker 2: It was like a robot. All right, mama, it's been
- 16:55Speaker 2: a good episode. Now Here, we're about to close away
- 16:58Speaker 2: this episode because we're about at that time, so still
- 17:05Speaker 2: a pretty short episode. But I just don't have that
- 17:09Speaker 2: much content. So I don't know if it's because I
- 17:13Speaker 2: speak so fast, I need to speak slower or what.
- 17:17Speaker 2: But anyway, do you want to say anything before we
- 17:20Speaker 2: close away this to say?
- 17:24Speaker 1: Oh?
- 17:24Speaker 2: Yeah, do you want to say any Oh? Go ahead?
- 17:30Speaker 2: Are you still there? Do you want to say anything
- 17:34Speaker 2: before we close away this episode?
- 17:36Speaker 3: Well, I am thankful for you getting giving me this
- 17:41Speaker 3: opportunity to be a guest after midnight.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's actually after midnight today. It's not phenomenal advice.
- 17:53Speaker 2: It's actually after midnight season twenty six. If I have
- 17:55Speaker 2: a season twenty six.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, season twenty.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Six, but I only have two guests ors so far,
- 18:02Speaker 2: so I have to get eighteen more. I got along way.
- 18:09Speaker 1: All the people out there for you.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Baby, Well it's hard for season twenty six, so we'll see.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I was actually looking at my script though before you
- 18:18Speaker 2: came on today, and I had a couple ideas maybe
- 18:22Speaker 2: do a couple episodes by myself, like I had some
- 18:28Speaker 2: but I have to look up some for some information.
- 18:31Speaker 2: So I have to go to the library again. Yeah,
- 18:34Speaker 2: because I don't have the information or google it, so
- 18:37Speaker 2: I'll probably end up doing that. So I may not
- 18:42Speaker 2: have that many guest stars in season twenty six. I
- 18:44Speaker 2: don't really know what I'm doing yet, but anyway, Uh,
- 18:50Speaker 2: but I don't know when this episode will be out.
- 18:52Speaker 2: It may be out next week if I edit everything,
- 18:58Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, it should be out next published. Yeah,
- 19:03Speaker 2: it'll be just private like all my other podcast uh
