The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

0:03.8

Two Jews, both big and tall, no subject, too small for the good guys.

0:11.4

A mother's dream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine, it's a good guys.

0:18.2

And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys. They're not the great guys.

0:28.0

We're just so good, good, good guys. Whoa. You're engaged to the wonderful Tia. Congratulations.

0:35.5

Yes, congrats. Ben and I are two married saps with beautiful kids. We love being married. Could you enjoy a couple's night out with this game you refer to? Could you turn off for that? You could. Yeah, well, it depends today. Today, hell no. I'm in beast. I didn't even, I went to bed for like an hour last night. I'm in these games mode for at least the next week. And then, but yeah, if it's like. Scheduled. Yeah. If it's something to, actually, I don't even know. Like, I'm pretty much booked every hour of every day this year. Yeah. So what do you take? Like you said that you don't like, like, how do you keep your brain? I'm just tired of shit all the time. You do caffeine pills, right? Yeah, I'll occasionally take caffeine pills because, like, I think energy drinks just taste like battery acid. So I just like to pop the caffeine and get it done. But those I try to use sparingly because then I'm going to get addicted. And it's like, like right now, this morning, I took one because I didn't sleep last night. But if I had slept, I wouldn't take one.

1:29.1

This guy, moderation.

1:31.1

I mean, it's just part of it.

1:32.4

Because the beauty, the thing is, though, like if you're tired, this doesn't apply in every industry. but in our social media,

1:39.2

if you're trying to be the biggest creator possible,

1:40.8

you've got to put out a lot of content

1:42.1

because you've got to be in front of people

1:43.8

and you just,

1:44.5

you know,

1:44.7

at the end of the day,

1:45.3

like the fact that I am tired

1:47.1

means I'm doing something that other people wouldn't do because they would definitely just go to sleep. Why would you? And that like that being able to work even though you are tired, even though you don't want to, is the competitive advantage in our field, right? And engineering gets not, right? And Warren Buffett, what he does, oh, he shouldn't work when he's tired. Warren Buffett just needs to make two theoretical, correct investments a year. If he, like, if he was like, hey, I'm going to put $30 billion in this company and then at 2x, he could make that one decision. And if he was correct, you know, he's good, right? But that's a completely different field than what we do where, you know, if I'm not filming, we're not putting out content, you know, and people are consuming

2:20.6

so many hours of YouTube every day, so many hours of short form, like Reels, TikToks, and stuff like

2:25.1

that. And like, if you're just not producing, you're just, you just don't exist, you know.

2:29.0

But I don't mean for the Jewish father and me to come out. But you talked about how you were filming in South Africa. And then I think you just got the flu or got good and sick and you were in a hospital there for three days. Yep. Like what does that look like? Do you alert the team of like guys, I can't go on or do they go, Jimmy, we're taking you? Well, I, so we were in a a cage surrounded by lions

2:50.9

and we were going to spend

2:51.5

like a week there.
