Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Golden Ratio Podcast. I am Jen, Jair Mom, joined as always by Jair Dad. Hi. How's it going, Jair Dad? Pretty good. Excellent. Excellent. You ready to jump right into it? Jumping both feet, getting wet. The cocktail of the week is the cream sickle margarita. It is there in front of you for sampling. I have not yet had it. This is a clean slate.

0:30.0

It tastes test. I have tried it, but I am not going to share my thoughts until you have had it. You kind of like everything that I make, even if it sucks. That's not true. Sometimes I admit it sucks. I like it. I think it tastes like a cream sickle, but it tastes very fruity and nice. It's better in theory than in practice, but it's not bad. It's like a frozen drink with ice, and it's mixed up in a blender, and it's got tequila and triple sec like a normal margarita.

1:00.0

And then you put an orange in there. I also added some orange juice and then some heavy cream. It just kind of tasted like a blandy milkshake. It wasn't bad, but it does not taste at all like a margarita. A blandy milkshake is not so bad. It's not bad. The orange doesn't come through in this version. It definitely needs more orangey. I think it would be better if you made it with canned concentrated frozen orange juice, which tends to really punch you in the face with the orange juice.

1:30.0

Tequila milkshake. So not bad. That's not terrible. But Pinterest showed me that and I was like, will make for the cocktail of the week. That's a good dessert. Yeah. Okay, let's talk about some stuff. Let us begin with the celebration of my skills at TikTok. So good at it. You're so good at it. I'm so lucky to have you as my wife who is so good at TikTok. Well, so the news of TikTok is that the Golden Ratio

account on TikTok is now part of the creator funds. We get paid every time you watch a video. So watch our video is a thousand times and I will get four cents. It's not terrible. Yeah. Everyone does it. We'll get like 40 cents. It really has to hit in the algorithm to get some real money from that one. 40 cents. I will also add that like in the Q&A when someone was like, what really pisses you guys off? I was like, you know what pisses me off?

2:28.6

People diagnosing me with shit on the internet. So I guess who didn't read that freaking or didn't listen to the podcast. The people who follow my professional TikTok account, which is very popular. They're all a bunch of randos who I don't know. I mean, I know some of you are in there, but it's mostly a bunch of people I don't know.

2:46.8

So one guy who's like a freaking physician emailed me and is like, basically, you have medical term for one bulgi eye and you could have graves disease and you should really get your thyroid checked, which as I described in the podcast makes me sort of non functional for a few days worrying about if I have this disease that like my thyroid levels are fine. I have no other symptoms of I just have always had bulgi eyes in general.

3:15.1

And one that is bulgeier than the others. It has always been like that my entire life. We have a running disagreement about this. It's objectively true. And just objectively, just doesn't like to say anything that he thinks could be perceived as not supportive of me, which is like fine, but like objectively one of my eyes is bigger than the other. I understand that I see it more than other people except apparently not because all these TikTok people see it. And so I forwarded the message from that physician.

3:45.0

I went to my doctor and I was like, I forward this to you only because it is from a guy who says he's a physician. And she's like, that's weird that he'd comment on your appearance. And I was like, you clearly don't spend much time on the internet doctor.

3:58.0

I mean, that shows one. She's the right doctor for you to that you're right three that she's not worried about some random in the internet stealing her medical opinion.

4:09.0

So she's like, you're fine. She's like, we'll do the detailed test, whatever you come in next time. We don't worry about it. So that's fine. All right. So I'm like, OK, I have successfully dealt with this. And then I was having a really hard time falling asleep a couple nights ago. And for some reason was like, let me check the TikTok comments, which are almost universally garbage on my main account.

4:29.0

I mean, whatever. There's some that are fine. And but there's a lot of mansplaining or people going like, you don't know what you're talking about. That's not how it works when I've literally provided them sources on how it works.

4:39.0

So there's a bunch of garbage in there. Not a thing I should be checking when I'm trying to fall asleep at 2 a.m. And some very well-meaning person comes in as like, I mean this from a place of caring and love, but have you had your thyroid checked lately, which means I noticed you have one very bulky eye.

4:54.0

But that's not what it said. It's not what it said. No, I mean, I think you meant very well. Maybe he writes that to everyone. Maybe he's like the spammy guy that writes on his comments. I tripled my sales every month.

5:06.0

Well, in any case, that did not make me feel better. So I had to make an appointment with my therapist at 3 a.m. I emailed my therapist and I was like, hey, I need you to talk to me about these guys on TikTok.

5:17.0

And he said, I don't know anything about thyroids. I don't know what you're going to say about this stuff. So anyway, that's that. Don't send me health advice.

5:24.0

Not even as a joke. Not even peripheral. It's just not. It's not a thing.

5:30.0

In other social media news, we, this is a big announcement, give me a drum roll. We're starting a cameo.

5:42.0

Lots of people have asked. I was not prepared and did not rehearse that. I'm a little, I think I could have done better. But then go ahead. Do you want to do it again? No, we'll lose it in post production.

5:54.0

Yeah, a bunch of people have asked, like, some people are just like, could you please make a video for my girlfriend for her birthday?

6:00.0

And like, some of you catch me where it's like, I have you have just sent this message and I have two free minutes.

6:07.0

So if you respond to me now with what your girlfriend's name is, I will make you a video and send it to you right now. Like I like doing that stuff.
