Speaker 1: Tell me if this sounds familiar.
0:02
Speaker 2: You're listening to a podcast, attending a presentation, or watching
0:07
Speaker 2: a live stream, and after a whole bunch of chatter,
0:10
Speaker 2: the hosts finally get around to the reason for the
0:13
Speaker 2: whole shebang, saying without further ado, it happens all the
0:19
Speaker 2: time at almost every event going back to the beginning
0:23
Speaker 2: of recorded history. But what happens at the host never
0:27
Speaker 2: actually get to the main attraction.
0:30
Speaker 1: What if the whole thing were just the ado? This
0:36
Speaker 1: is that show.
0:50
Speaker 3: Whether or not you believe micro waves have their own identities,
0:56
Speaker 3: which I do. I thought it would be just, you know,
1:00
Speaker 3: just an interesting fact today that I thought i'd cover
1:04
Speaker 3: with the listeners as well as you yourself, my friend.
1:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to be included.
1:11
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wouldn't it be funny if I was, like, I
1:13
Speaker 3: didn't really want.
1:14
Speaker 1: To talk to you tonight, I'm just gonna speak directly
1:17
Speaker 1: to the listeners.
1:18
Speaker 3: So I thought this was an interesting fact. I didn't
1:22
Speaker 3: know this, or maybe maybe I heard it at some
1:25
Speaker 3: point in my life, but I don't remember.
1:28
Speaker 1: It's just about microwaves.
1:29
Speaker 3: It's about microwave, yeah, microwave ovens, which I think it's funny.
1:33
Speaker 3: When you call it a microwave oven, because nobody ever
1:35
Speaker 3: calls it a microwave oven.
1:37
Speaker 1: Not for seventy years.
1:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, even though I think my microwave has convection oven capabilities,
1:45
Speaker 3: does your microwave have that?
1:47
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like you're bragging.
1:49
Speaker 3: I am. I have a rich person's microwave in my home,
1:54
Speaker 3: which is funny because I'm not rich. It's like I
1:56
Speaker 3: took a rich person's microwave and put it in my home.
2:00
Speaker 1: To a rich person's house, and You're like, what should
2:01
Speaker 1: I take? What should I take?
2:03
Speaker 3: We were just talking about your friends and neighbors. You know,
2:06
Speaker 3: I'm just taking all my neighbors microwaves. Mm hm. But
2:10
Speaker 3: the microwave oven was invented after a guy noticed a
2:14
Speaker 3: chocolate bar melting in his pocket near radar equipment. It's
2:18
Speaker 3: one of the most major kitchen appliances that we have
2:21
Speaker 3: in modern history at least right.
2:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:24
Speaker 3: It was basically discovered because a guy hot pocketed himself.
2:28
Speaker 1: So wait, so he finds out this chocolate bar is
2:33
Speaker 1: melting in his pocket, and he's like, I can recreate
2:38
Speaker 1: this for the kitchen to use on other things. Is
2:42
Speaker 1: that what's happening.
2:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the layman's version of the beginning of the
2:47
Speaker 3: microwave oven.
2:48
Speaker 1: Do you think the first microwave was like a look
2:51
Speaker 1: like a big dirty.
2:52
Speaker 3: Pocket had lent in it. Yeah, loose change.
2:57
Speaker 1: He's like, hold on, I need to put it near
2:59
Speaker 1: my growing and to warn them it up.
3:01
Speaker 3: He was like, what am I gonna call this? Well,
3:04
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's a wave of micros and my
3:08
Speaker 3: pocket is like an oven, so it's a microwave oven.
3:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no idea. I've never heard that before.
3:14
Speaker 3: Nobody ever talks about the beginning of the microwave. That's
3:16
Speaker 3: so long ago. You know, they don't care about microwaves.
3:19
Speaker 3: Microwaves are old news people now they talk about things
3:23
Speaker 3: like AI.
3:24
Speaker 1: It's true, no one really pays attention to the microwave.
3:27
Speaker 1: It's there, it's essential, But you're not getting a lot
3:32
Speaker 1: of microwave conversations.
3:34
Speaker 3: You don't. But you know, I was recently just telling
3:36
Speaker 3: someone that probably the greatest invention of our modern age
3:42
Speaker 3: is the air fryer.
3:43
Speaker 1: Technically, yeah, that's the one that's almost kind of I think,
3:47
Speaker 1: become the star of the show. Now people are paying
3:50
Speaker 1: a little more attention to the air fray, especially the
3:52
Speaker 1: newfangled air fryer, which is like a toaster an air
3:56
Speaker 1: fryer someone of a microwave or like a small oven.
3:59
Speaker 1: I guess, mm hmm.
4:01
Speaker 3: And it's still new enough where some people don't even
4:03
Speaker 3: know that it exists. I think I told you. I
4:06
Speaker 3: had this conversation with my dad at lunch one time.
4:09
Speaker 3: I was talking to him about an airfyer. It's sort
4:12
Speaker 3: of in passing, like, oh, you should take those and
4:15
Speaker 3: reheat them in the airfrre and he laughed at me,
4:18
Speaker 3: and I couldn't understand why he was laughing at me,
4:20
Speaker 3: and he thought it was I was joking. He thought
4:24
Speaker 3: the two words together was hilarious, like air frying, you know.
4:27
Speaker 3: He's like, what do you fry them in?
4:29
Speaker 1: He never heard of it.
4:31
Speaker 3: No, he had never heard of it. And it took
4:33
Speaker 3: me twenty five minutes to convince him that it was real.
4:37
Speaker 3: And the only way I was able to do that
4:39
Speaker 3: was to pull up a Google search to show him
4:42
Speaker 3: all the airfyers for sale. But there's a lot of
4:45
Speaker 3: people who I'm like, oh, do you have an airfier home.
4:47
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, no, but I've heard of them. It's
4:50
Speaker 3: like the beginning of the microwave.
4:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we were at the point where everybody
4:54
Speaker 1: had one now where everybody was kind of using them.
4:57
Speaker 1: We just upgraded to one of the ones. It's like,
5:00
Speaker 1: you know, two doors open on the front, oh, versus
5:04
Speaker 1: the one we had before, which was kind of a
5:06
Speaker 1: hand me down, which was like the pull out tray.
5:10
Speaker 3: I feel like you're kind of bragging right now.
5:12
Speaker 1: I'm I took it from a rich person's house.
5:19
Speaker 3: That sounds like that. It sounds like, yeah, you have
5:22
Speaker 3: a rich person's airfryer.
5:23
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. That's what it feels like.
5:25
Speaker 1: Because I was like, I don't know about this thing.
5:27
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be like an airfryer or toaster. I'm like,
5:30
Speaker 1: I'm a little leery of things that say they can
5:33
Speaker 1: be multiple things. But it's pretty solid.
5:37
Speaker 3: It is. I think it could take the place of
5:39
Speaker 3: the microwave in many ways.
5:41
Speaker 1: It might, and the microwave is probably getting nervous.
5:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, one day the microwave is going to die out
5:47
Speaker 3: and people are gonna have to bring it back from
5:49
Speaker 3: the dead from the door. So this is a cool
6:01
Speaker 3: new segment we've got. We're going to each bring a
6:04
Speaker 3: product back from the dead and give it new life
6:08
Speaker 3: by completely changing what it is used for, maybe the name,
6:13
Speaker 3: even what audience it's going after. For example, shad.
6:17
Speaker 1: Well, the example that was come up with on the
6:20
Speaker 1: creation of this, the Amazon Dash button dead resurrected as
6:28
Speaker 1: physical buttons used for emotional decisions, you know, panic, impulse, regret,
6:36
Speaker 1: something like that. So you bring it back, it's no
6:39
Speaker 1: longer just like, hey, you're pressing this button to order something.
6:43
Speaker 1: Now it kind of has a used for something else.
6:46
Speaker 3: And the Amazon dash button that I mean, that's probably
6:49
Speaker 3: not the best example, but you know it was it
6:52
Speaker 3: was easy light almost like the Easy button that was easy.
6:56
Speaker 3: So was this hard for you?
6:58
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, this was. This was a little little challenging
7:01
Speaker 1: for me. I think even thinking of, you know, which,
7:05
Speaker 1: what thing I wanted to bring back from the dead,
7:07
Speaker 1: and then how I wanted to do it. And I
7:10
Speaker 1: don't even know that what I've done is true to
7:14
Speaker 1: the essence of you know, the core idea here.
7:17
Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be fine.
7:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I think so. No one's the judges,
7:23
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think are going to come down
7:25
Speaker 1: on me too hard.
7:26
Speaker 3: All right, Well, hit me with it because I'm kind
7:28
Speaker 3: of excited to hear what it is.
7:30
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you remember, you know, Blockbuster video once
7:37
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, not a thing anymore. It's dead. People
7:42
Speaker 1: are like, we don't need this anymore. We have streaming.
7:46
Speaker 1: We don't need to go into a store and get
7:48
Speaker 1: a physical copy of a video to take home to watch.
7:52
Speaker 1: This is obsolete, Blockbuster dead. So here's where I say,
7:58
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a cheat. It's not. I'm
8:00
Speaker 1: not completely repurposing it. I'm bringing it back to life,
8:04
Speaker 1: but it's, you know, still a little bit the same.
8:07
Speaker 1: The naming here, I'm either thinking Blockbuster Social or Blockbuster rewind.
8:12
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Maybe and maybe you'll have a better
8:14
Speaker 1: idea for this one. So the idea here is we're
8:18
Speaker 1: kind of reinventing the video rental store. So we're bringing
8:22
Speaker 1: it back in its form, right, So what it was,
8:26
Speaker 1: the physical locations return, but instead of shelves filled with
8:31
Speaker 1: video cassettes or DVDs, we now get your digital streaming
8:36
Speaker 1: selections presented in that nostalgic browsable format, so customers can
8:42
Speaker 1: come in, you can explore the shelves like you would
8:46
Speaker 1: back in the day. And you're seeing, Okay, here's your
8:50
Speaker 1: here's what's available in on streaming, your streaming titles. You
8:53
Speaker 1: know how you have all these services, stuff's all over
8:57
Speaker 1: the place. You're like, what's even available? What can I
8:59
Speaker 1: watch here? You're getting them kind of like curated in
9:03
Speaker 1: the video store format, you know, so it's no more
9:07
Speaker 1: that endless scrolling. You just walk in and you can Okay,
9:12
Speaker 1: this makes sense to me. I've done this before, right,
9:16
Speaker 1: So you get kind of the convenience of streaming with
9:19
Speaker 1: the you know, the human connection of the video store
9:22
Speaker 1: and the discovery experience that we've lost a little bit.
9:25
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the core idea here. Get movies
9:28
Speaker 1: displayed like they used to be curated by humans. We
9:31
Speaker 1: can have like staff picks, you can have the people
9:34
Speaker 1: working in the video store recommending things to you, talk
9:37
Speaker 1: to real people, that whole thing, and it solves the
9:41
Speaker 1: you know, what do I watch? Problem? So that's the
9:44
Speaker 1: idea with what we'll call Blockbuster rewind. You know, if
9:48
Speaker 1: she's called Blockbuster Digital or streaming is something like that,
9:51
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's its own service and that's not
9:54
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, the question you might be asking,
9:57
Speaker 1: which I was asking. I'm like, well, how's this thing
9:59
Speaker 1: gonna make mon and stay in business? What I'm looking
10:03
Speaker 1: at here is like a subscription model, you know, you
10:05
Speaker 1: pay a monthly fee, get access to the store, recommendations,
10:09
Speaker 1: events like that. And I think also then you get
10:13
Speaker 1: the streamers to pay, you know, affiliate program where they're like, hey,
10:20
Speaker 1: promote my stuff, put it on the shelf, get people
10:22
Speaker 1: to watch it, we'll bump you some money. So that's
10:25
Speaker 1: kind of what's supporting this. And you could also honestly,
10:29
Speaker 1: physical media is kind of coming back, so you could
10:31
Speaker 1: also actually have real rentals here if you wanted to
10:34
Speaker 1: go that route, merch you know, private screenings, things like that,
10:38
Speaker 1: so you can also incorporate that stuff in there too.
10:40
Speaker 3: I really like this idea. A lot of things came
10:43
Speaker 3: to mind when you were saying that, not a lot
10:45
Speaker 3: of good ones, but a lot of ideas.
10:47
Speaker 1: A browsebuster, oh browsbuster. Yeah you know, it sounds like
10:52
Speaker 1: you're busting browsing a little bit.
10:54
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, well you know, but I was thinking
10:58
Speaker 3: if you could come up with a really cool like
11:00
Speaker 3: way to display them, like maybe they're like the VHS tapes,
11:04
Speaker 3: but then there's like a digital screen on them so
11:07
Speaker 3: that you can actually see something, you know, like a
11:10
Speaker 3: new way to see it.
11:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe even watch a see a trailer on that
11:14
Speaker 1: or like some kind of you know, little snippet.
11:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little snippet or like something, but in that
11:20
Speaker 3: sort of form factor. So the other thing I was
11:22
Speaker 3: thinking too, is like it is a really cool idea
11:25
Speaker 3: because really what you're going in there for is sort
11:28
Speaker 3: of that experience of being there, and to your point,
11:32
Speaker 3: there's people behind the desk who can like give you
11:36
Speaker 3: suggestions and things like that, because that's what's missing, right, Yeah,
11:40
Speaker 3: when you're just endlessly scrolling through options. I was also thinking,
11:44
Speaker 3: you know, like you were saying, how do you stay
11:46
Speaker 3: in business or how do you make money? Maybe there
11:49
Speaker 3: is a sort of kickback where if you you can
11:53
Speaker 3: get a deal or like a like an incentive to
11:57
Speaker 3: stream through a specific stream, because like, hey, this is
12:02
Speaker 3: available on Netflix and Hulu and WA's you McCall, and
12:04
Speaker 3: you could choose one of those and then if Browsebuster
12:07
Speaker 3: or whatever the hell it's called, we get like a
12:09
Speaker 3: percentage of that and you would subscribe to that, so
12:12
Speaker 3: you'd get like a discount on it, you know, or
12:15
Speaker 3: maybe like a one off type of thing where it's
12:18
Speaker 3: a little cheaper than a monthly for that stream but
12:21
Speaker 3: you can get that movie, you know whatever, So there'd
12:24
Speaker 3: be ways to make money there.
12:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it could work and be fun.
12:29
Speaker 3: It would be I mean, like you said, there's a
12:32
Speaker 3: lot of there's a lot of that coming back anyway,
12:34
Speaker 3: the physical media, but I think just the streaming portion
12:37
Speaker 3: of it, it would be fun to go out and
12:39
Speaker 3: they're like, if you want to go and see what
12:42
Speaker 3: what's available? Yeah, we could just do that on like
12:44
Speaker 3: Netflix though, right, Yeah, but I wanted to ask Joey
12:48
Speaker 3: what his favorite movie this week is. He's always got
12:50
Speaker 3: good recommendations for me, you know what I mean.
12:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can have the top ten displayed and it's
12:55
Speaker 1: like experiential, which we know, you know, young people are
12:59
Speaker 1: into that.
12:59
Speaker 3: Now, experiential marketing. I like that idea a lot.
13:03
Speaker 1: Actually, what are you resurrecting?
13:07
Speaker 3: What I'm going to be resurrecting. I want to give
13:09
Speaker 3: you a little background on it. Okay, it's not the
13:12
Speaker 3: most important part of the story here, but I think
13:15
Speaker 3: it does help give context. So we're all connected to
13:21
Speaker 3: these devices. We all have these devices now, phones and stuff,
13:25
Speaker 3: listening to music. Let's go back a little bit, and
13:28
Speaker 3: if you remember the iPod shuffle I do. It ran
13:32
Speaker 3: from two thousand and five to about twenty seventeen, which
13:35
Speaker 3: had a really long run. I mean different little iterations,
13:38
Speaker 3: but it lasted four generations, and it started at ninety
13:44
Speaker 3: nine dollars, but it eventually dropped down to forty nine
13:47
Speaker 3: dollars for this little, tiny version of the iPod that
13:51
Speaker 3: didn't have a screen, right, you were just at the
13:53
Speaker 3: mercy of what it played next, and it sold as
13:57
Speaker 3: part of that family, that iPod family, about two and
14:00
Speaker 3: twenty million units by two thousand and nine, so it
14:04
Speaker 3: was it was a huge part. And that's what I
14:07
Speaker 3: would resurrect is the iPod shuffle. But the new name
14:10
Speaker 3: for my iPod shuffle is called the Life Shuffle. So
14:15
Speaker 3: this new iPod shuffle called the Life Shuffle, would have
14:18
Speaker 3: a new purpose. Instead of songs, it would play basically
14:23
Speaker 3: random instructions for your day, so it would give you
14:26
Speaker 3: life advice essentially for people who are indecisive. It's like
14:32
Speaker 3: the classic magic eight ball, so it's just giving you
14:35
Speaker 3: a little push towards making a decision, could be an
14:39
Speaker 3: answer to something you were looking for. It could be
14:42
Speaker 3: something random and not even related to what you're asking it.
14:45
Speaker 3: It's the Life Shuffle. What do you think of that.
14:48
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a fortune teller.
14:50
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and you can't see what's next, so it's
14:53
Speaker 3: just random, right.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had an iPod shuffle. I don't know if
14:58
Speaker 1: it was like the fourth one, but for running it
15:00
Speaker 1: was the best of the iPods because it weighed nothing. Yeah,
15:05
Speaker 1: it was tiny. It clipped on and it weighed nothing.
15:09
Speaker 2: You know.
15:09
Speaker 1: The only downside was the headphones had a wire going
15:13
Speaker 1: to the iPod shuffle.
15:15
Speaker 3: I had that little clip on it, right, you had
15:17
Speaker 3: the little clip. Yeah. Yeah.
15:19
Speaker 1: But as far as things were back then, it was
15:21
Speaker 1: like it was insane how light this thing was that
15:23
Speaker 1: could have songs on it. But yeah, there's so many,
15:26
Speaker 1: you know, little decisions every day that sometimes and sometimes
15:29
Speaker 1: if you're just not in the state, it's like I
15:32
Speaker 1: just don't want to think about another thing.
15:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be like a fun game too, you
15:36
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It doesn't have to be making
15:39
Speaker 3: real life decisions for you obviously, but yeah, life Shuffle.
15:44
Speaker 1: Life Shuffle. Yeah, so you kept the shuffle name in
15:47
Speaker 1: there because it's still shuffling yeah, both these things seem good.
15:51
Speaker 1: They seem like things that could be real.
15:56
Speaker 3: Is this a real Netflix show?
15:58
Speaker 2: This? No?
16:03
Speaker 1: Okay? This one here also a new one. Haven't done
16:07
Speaker 1: this before? So pretty simple, pretty basic, what we got
16:11
Speaker 1: going here. Each person's going to provide the title and
16:15
Speaker 1: description for two Netflix shows. Pretty basic. But one of
16:20
Speaker 1: them is real and one of them is not, And
16:23
Speaker 1: the other person has to figure out which one is
16:25
Speaker 1: the real one and which one is the fake one.
16:29
Speaker 3: Hmmm, that's tough.
16:31
Speaker 1: And with all the Netflix shows and how you know,
16:34
Speaker 1: wacky they are these days might be harder than it
16:37
Speaker 1: seems might be.
16:38
Speaker 3: I don't know, it could be difficult. I have a
16:41
Speaker 3: feeling mine are obvious, but also weird obvious, you know, see.
16:48
Speaker 1: I feel like mine are obvious too, But I also
16:51
Speaker 1: when you know what the what the real one is? Yeah,
16:55
Speaker 1: you see through it? So maybe not?
16:57
Speaker 3: Maybe not.
16:58
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see what we can do here.
17:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, so these two Netflix shows are both real? Are
17:05
Speaker 3: They're both real? So you just have to decide, of course.
17:08
Speaker 3: So the first one is called Cooked with Cannabis, where
17:12
Speaker 3: chefs prepare cannabis infused dishes for celebrity judges in a
17:16
Speaker 3: reality competition series. Okay. The other is how to Stage
17:21
Speaker 3: an Intervention? A designer creates warm, inviting spaces where families
17:26
Speaker 3: can corner loved ones about their choices. So which one
17:30
Speaker 3: is fake and which one is real?
17:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that I think this is like some
17:37
Speaker 1: sort of mind game trick. In my mind, my instinct
17:41
Speaker 1: is Cooked with Cannabis is real, But then I think
17:43
Speaker 1: that's a game. So I'm gonna say that how to
17:46
Speaker 1: Stage an Intervention is real and the Cooks with Cannabis
17:50
Speaker 1: is fake?
17:50
Speaker 3: Okay? Is that your final answer?
17:52
Speaker 1: That is all right?
17:54
Speaker 3: You should have gone with your gut.
17:58
Speaker 1: I thought it was too so I like reversed, you know.
18:02
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a reverse psychology situation.
18:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cooked with Cannabis is real and How to Stage
18:08
Speaker 3: an Intervention is fake? And you know, the funny thing
18:11
Speaker 3: is is that they both seem like they could be
18:13
Speaker 3: real based on the weirdness that it goes on on Netflix, you.
18:17
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, yeah, they both have a similar odd vibe.
18:22
Speaker 1: I really talk myself out of that one. That was interesting. Yeah,
18:25
Speaker 1: I gamed myself out of that.
18:28
Speaker 3: I almost thought, is this your final answer? Might have
18:31
Speaker 3: even given it away for you.
18:32
Speaker 1: Well, I figured at that point it was wrong, but
18:35
Speaker 1: I couldn't back out, you know, I was in too deep.
18:38
Speaker 3: Just yeah, you had to go go all in on
18:40
Speaker 3: that one, all right? All right?
18:43
Speaker 1: So here's the title in description for two real Netflix shows.
18:49
Speaker 1: The first one Aftermath, After a mysterious energy surge wipes
18:55
Speaker 1: out most adults, a sarcastic team drifts through Chicago, chasing
19:00
Speaker 1: rumors that his missing brother might still be alive. Next,
19:04
Speaker 1: we have Daybreak, living his best life in post apocalyptic
19:09
Speaker 1: la A slacker strives to find the girl of his
19:13
Speaker 1: dreams while outwitting mindless ghouls and clickish gangs.
19:20
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Daybreak is real and Aftermath is fake.
19:28
Speaker 1: You would be correct. Ah, Yeah, you know what made
19:34
Speaker 1: you think that they're so similar?
19:36
Speaker 3: A little bit of a cheat?
19:38
Speaker 1: What was the tip off? You've watched Daybreak?
19:40
Speaker 3: I did see Daybreak?
19:42
Speaker 1: Oh you did?
19:42
Speaker 3: Okay, I did see day Break.
19:44
Speaker 1: Well, not a cheat, you just know because you've watched
19:47
Speaker 1: all the strange teen Netflix shows.
19:51
Speaker 3: Do you know what's really funny is it only had
19:54
Speaker 3: I think one season on Netflix and it was entertaining
19:58
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly. The kid narrates, so he's talking
20:03
Speaker 3: to the audience. But it was actually pretty good.
20:06
Speaker 1: I should have known any post apocalyptics show you've watched it.
20:10
Speaker 3: Had you not picked that second one, I might have
20:13
Speaker 3: had a hard time because that actually sounds like it
20:15
Speaker 3: could be real.
20:16
Speaker 1: It could be.
20:17
Speaker 3: But Daybreak, I actually recommend watching that and see what
20:20
Speaker 3: you picked at because this is pretty good and it
20:24
Speaker 3: helped me win that segment.
20:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, finally, all these Netflix shows you've watched have paid off.
20:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had a lot of Netflix shows that I've watched.
20:34
Speaker 3: I've met the end of the Internet inside of Netflix.
20:38
Speaker 3: I'm at the end of Netflix.
20:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've reached the edge. You can see the horizon.
20:44
Speaker 3: Could this be a segment? Well, we like to end
20:48
Speaker 3: each episode by pitching an idea for a new segment
20:51
Speaker 3: on the show. All the ones we talked about today
20:54
Speaker 3: were once a part of Could this be a segment?
20:58
Speaker 1: This is where they were birthed.
21:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that sounds kind of disgusting, but they were.
21:03
Speaker 3: They were it does thought of, they were brainstormed. If
21:09
Speaker 3: you will, So, what do you got for? Could this
21:11
Speaker 3: be a segment? What do you what do you want
21:13
Speaker 3: to make a new segment out of?
21:15
Speaker 1: So this one is dedicated specifically to you, Patrick. Oh,
21:20
Speaker 1: the name of this segment is what are you going
21:23
Speaker 1: to use that u r L for? You know, the
21:25
Speaker 1: kind of tagline of it, if you want to call it.
21:28
Speaker 1: That is, you bought the domain, now what the hell
21:32
Speaker 1: is it?
21:32
Speaker 3: Yeah?
21:33
Speaker 1: The idea here is a segment where we start with
21:37
Speaker 1: a random, bizarre or overly specific domain name and brainstorm
21:42
Speaker 1: than what it could be used for. So instead of
21:44
Speaker 1: building a business and then you know, getting your ur L,
21:48
Speaker 1: we're kind of flipping the process here. The u r
21:50
Speaker 1: L comes first, and then we're figuring out the idea
21:55
Speaker 1: of how to justify having it and what to use
21:58
Speaker 1: it for. So I was trying to come up with
22:00
Speaker 1: some examples of what this could look like. Yeah, one
22:03
Speaker 1: example was dirty Ted dancing dot com. Oh, which could
22:09
Speaker 1: be posts about terrible people named Ted, Ted Bundy, Ted Cruz.
22:15
Speaker 1: We could go in that direction. Or it could be
22:17
Speaker 1: like parody Ted talks that are negative.
22:21
Speaker 3: Okay, So you could do something like that, or like
22:23
Speaker 3: people who look like Ted Dansing.
22:26
Speaker 1: It could be yeah, Ted Danson look alikes. Yeah, that
22:29
Speaker 1: would be a good one. Another one is you know
22:32
Speaker 1: the URL is why is this wet dot com?
22:37
Speaker 3: Okay?
22:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and that could be a site where
22:41
Speaker 1: it could, you know, if we wanted to go obvious,
22:43
Speaker 1: people would post pictures of things that are wet and
22:46
Speaker 1: others could speculate how they got to that state. Or
22:50
Speaker 1: it could be a review site for all things that.
22:52
Speaker 3: Are waterproof okay, yeah, Or it.
22:55
Speaker 1: Could be a site where you just debunk ideas. You know,
22:57
Speaker 1: here's why this is stupid, here's why this is wet.
23:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a wet, wet idea, this is.
23:04
Speaker 1: A wet idea, this is soggy. Last one I had
23:08
Speaker 1: was you know, premium garbage dot net.
23:11
Speaker 3: I like the dot net there, yeah, you know, trying.
23:15
Speaker 1: To switch it up because who would ever buy a
23:17
Speaker 1: dot net? I don't know. Maybe have you ever bought
23:19
Speaker 1: a dot net?
23:20
Speaker 3: Uh no, No, I can't say I have.
23:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think so. So that could be things
23:26
Speaker 1: that are terrible you love, like Steven sigaal movies or nerds,
23:29
Speaker 1: gummy clusters, something like that. Or it could be like
23:33
Speaker 1: a site from the perspective of a raccoon talking about
23:37
Speaker 1: the best fines, you know, your best things you found
23:40
Speaker 1: in the garbage.
23:41
Speaker 3: You start talking about domains and it immediately gets my
23:44
Speaker 3: mind rolling about like I should get this domain.
23:48
Speaker 1: What have you purchased in the time that I've been
23:51
Speaker 1: talking about this segment.
23:52
Speaker 3: I've already purchased all the ones you talked about, so
23:55
Speaker 3: because they're great, And you said something about dot net
23:59
Speaker 3: and I thought to myself, Yeah, you know what, you're right.
24:02
Speaker 3: I was saying, what have I gotten? Though, I've gotten
24:04
Speaker 3: weird extensions before, like dot site.
24:07
Speaker 1: Okay, you've done the alternate extension.
24:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, like for certain things that they're very specific uses, right,
24:14
Speaker 3: like dot site, dot systems, I've done that. They actually
24:19
Speaker 3: have tons of extension u arel extensions.
24:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like anything.
24:24
Speaker 3: There's so many now, which.
24:26
Speaker 1: Is good because we're running out of dot COM's. But
24:28
Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody they're so hard to get people
24:31
Speaker 1: to not go dot com.
24:33
Speaker 3: I like that though a lot, because you know, it
24:36
Speaker 3: hits close to home for me. You know, I love
24:38
Speaker 3: I love domain names.
24:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. You collect them like baseball cards.
24:43
Speaker 3: Yeah. If only I collected baseball cards like I did domains,
24:46
Speaker 3: I'd probably be rich.
24:49
Speaker 1: If only they grew in value like baseball cards, I'd
24:54
Speaker 1: be rich enough to get one of those microwaves you know,
24:57
Speaker 1: or the air fighters that you have or the Yeah, yeah,
25:01
Speaker 1: I do like that.
25:02
Speaker 3: I think that should be a segment. I think that
25:04
Speaker 3: should move on.
25:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, next stage, All right, what's your segment that could be?
25:10
Speaker 3: That's what I thought. That was kind of fun because
25:12
Speaker 3: it takes little things that we do every day and
25:16
Speaker 3: flips it around a bit. And so this is what
25:19
Speaker 3: I'm calling corporate mad libs.
25:22
Speaker 1: Okay, I love mad libs.
25:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved mad libs when I was a kid.
25:26
Speaker 3: So take real corporate language and swappinging. It could be
25:30
Speaker 3: silly words, or it could be corporate mumbo jumbo. It
25:34
Speaker 3: could be all kinds of different things. But you're basically
25:36
Speaker 3: creating a mission statement for a company. And it could
25:40
Speaker 3: be for a product. It could be for you know,
25:44
Speaker 3: a Fortune five hundred type of company. It could be
25:47
Speaker 3: for silly things like food. Like I'll give you an example,
25:51
Speaker 3: we leverage snack forward synergies to maximize emotional crunch, and
25:56
Speaker 3: that would be something for Cereal. Maybe you have a
25:58
Speaker 3: pizza chain like Little Caesars. Our pizza architecture supports a
26:03
Speaker 3: wide range of topping verticals. So you're just basically making
26:08
Speaker 3: nonsense buzzword soup. Yeah, and you could go super silly
26:12
Speaker 3: with it, just like we did in mad libs when
26:14
Speaker 3: we were kids. Or you could go you know, like
26:18
Speaker 3: really jargony. Those ones were kind of jargony with corporate slang,
26:22
Speaker 3: but you could go super silly and weird too, you
26:25
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
26:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Where I thought you were going,
26:30
Speaker 1: which would also be interesting, is I thought you were
26:32
Speaker 1: originally going to be like, take a company or brand's
26:37
Speaker 1: mission statement and you know, take out some like nouns
26:41
Speaker 1: and verbs and adjectives and stuff, and then have the
26:44
Speaker 1: other person kind of mad libit, you know, be like,
26:47
Speaker 1: all right, give me a nown, give me an adjective,
26:49
Speaker 1: give me a verb, give me a different thing, and
26:51
Speaker 1: then replace that into you know, say Walmart's mission statement
26:56
Speaker 1: or something like that.
26:57
Speaker 3: That's a good idea too. Maybe that's even better.
27:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And we could even make them like instead
27:04
Speaker 1: of doing like now an adjective, it could be like
27:07
Speaker 1: corporate buzzword John Claude Van dam movie. You know, we
27:11
Speaker 1: can make them specific to our line of thinking.
27:15
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that would be a lot of fun.
27:17
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah. It's a little interactive and it brings
27:21
Speaker 1: back madlibs.
27:23
Speaker 3: I say, taglines or you know, slogans. But it could
27:26
Speaker 3: be like the mission statement in general, you know, which
27:29
Speaker 3: is a little bit longer. But it could be a
27:31
Speaker 3: well known mission statement for like Patagonia or something, you
27:35
Speaker 3: know what I mean, and just change it up.
27:37
Speaker 1: Could be a mission statement or part of the you know,
27:39
Speaker 1: web page or something, you know, something a little longer
27:41
Speaker 1: so there's more to fill in.
27:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, you like that though.
27:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's good. I think that could be fun.
27:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, because of me again, you know mad Libs.
27:50
Speaker 1: Who does love Madlibs?
27:51
Speaker 3: It's the kid in you that just loves the ridiculousness
27:55
Speaker 3: of it.
27:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got some other new potential segments going in
28:00
Speaker 1: to our growing laundry list of you know, segments that
28:03
Speaker 1: we could do basically for the rest of our lives.
28:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, and speaking of which we should have. Could this
28:09
Speaker 3: be a segment dot com? That could literally go right
28:13
Speaker 3: to a list of all of our segments that's.
28:16
Speaker 1: Not about idea vote for your favorite or we could
28:19
Speaker 1: get could this be dot segments?
28:22
Speaker 3: Could could this be a dot segment? If they have
28:29
Speaker 3: a segment extension, we should get it. I mean I
28:33
Speaker 3: would totally get that.
28:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be a really unique extension.
28:40
Speaker 3: What if it was could this dot be a segment
28:46
Speaker 3: like the whole thing is. Oh yeah, yeah, it's very specific.
28:51
Speaker 3: I think they made that
