What is so incredible, Eric, about these episodes is not that they're duo episodes.

I mean, people are already probably excited as soon as they heard that magical word, duo.

But typically, when a podcast that normally features guests has a duo episode, it likely means that the guest couldn't make it.

Oh, man, we were supposed to have ABC. They couldn't

make it. Well, we'll string something together. But we're kind of different where we cancel people

just so we can have dual episodes. Like we invite people on and then just like five minutes before,

myself and Eric are talking like, you want to, you want to mix this, bro? You want to just do a

duo episode? We're like, yeah, let's do it. So we actually canceled guests to have dual episodes. It's a power play.

So what we do is we kind of, you know the saying, aim for the stars, and if you hit the moon,

you'll be ecstatic or happy or whatever it is. So what we do is we come up with the list of people who would probably say no to iron culture

and we can that that's a long list and then we send it out to all of them and when we get a yes

we line it up and then we go from the top and cancel them to make ourselves feel more powerful

i think i'll just go ahead and say it and then then we have our episode. So, sorry, Arnold.

You didn't make this one.

Appreciate you saying yes.

And we just don't need that kind of opportunity here at Iron Culture.

You know?

I got this.

Yeah, I just feel lately with some of the moves he's been making that his brand doesn't align with Iron Culture.

You know, we're kind of about asserting dominance.

And I don't know, man, ever since Terminator 3, and Terminator 3 was questionable, we just don't want that smoke on our podcast.

This is a, you know, a family-friendly podcast that is also a cult.
