Hey, this is Jim. This episode is our conversation with David Thomas Tau, co-founder of barbin.com

and until recently, CEO, when they were actually acquired a couple months ago by pillar 4,

and which is kind of an exciting thing to talk about in the strength space that someone

who is providing news on the strength world actually gets acquired by a serious media

company. I'd seen, I would have never bet that that would have happened years ago, but

it certainly did. David's somebody that I should have crossed paths with by now, but I

hadn't, Mike certainly had. Anyway, we had a great conversation with him that we really

enjoyed, not always the biggest fan of doing remote interviews, but this one was great

because he was a great guest. David's in New York City and they just had the experience

of the Canadian wildfires, blowing smoke there direction and we're in California and we

have that stuff all the time here. So, anyway, that's what's going on at the beginning

of this conversation. It starts in media race, but enjoy.

So we had them on, because we're in the valley basically, so we had them on three sides

of us and it looked like that. Yeah, so we had the power to COVID going on. They're telling

you to wear every mask in the sun and then we have like fucking ash flying from the sky

and they're telling you don't leave your house because you're going to inhale flames or

something else. Seeing the world like that literally does feel like a Harrison Ford movie

or some shit. Yeah, it's Blade Runner. Yeah, it looks insane. I was seeing those pictures

on Twitter in New York. I was like, holy shit. Yeah, Dune is a better analogy. That's

a little more like topical. I haven't seen the whole thing or the Blade Runner sequel

when they're in Vegas. Yes, the orange sky. Actually, that was a great movie. I liked it.

I loved it. And I didn't, you know, didn't like the original Blade Runner the first time
