| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me in crystal clear 4K HD whatever Rob Mahoney J. Kyle, man. |
| 0:25.4 | It's a new era, brothers. Welcome to the future. |
| 0:28.9 | How does that make you feel, Justin? I feel like you are maybe the most resistant to the future of anyone I know. |
| 0:35.4 | I don't know how to take that. Nor do I necessarily think that's true. I got all sorts of tech. I got iPhones. I got iPods. Sure. Earpods. I got all the pods. You sound like a grandpa, even as you're saying. JV. sounding like the Jeb Bush thing where he lists off all the Apple products that he has. But, yeah, Justin, I could watch just a breakout bit of |
| 0:56.8 | content of you, A, adjusting your camera, dealing with all, just listening to you work through |
| 1:01.4 | your tech balance in your life is pretty entertaining for me. I think people would dig it. |
| 1:06.2 | Yeah, we had about what, like a 20 minute delay for this podcast, just trying to get a camera |
| 1:10.5 | steady enough. We can't see, Justin, we just see minute delay for this podcast, just trying to get a camera steady enough. |
| 1:11.7 | We can't see Justin. We just see him going like this back and forth that I was like almost in |
| 1:16.3 | tears. I had a great time. Yeah, but now here I am in this very dark, moody lighting. So it's a new |
| 1:22.8 | era because this is, I think the last pod that's going to go up on YouTube, we're transitioning |
| 1:26.3 | officially on video to Netflix with Sunday's episode. You'd still get everything on Spotify, as per usual, |
| 1:32.8 | audio and video. But if you just want the video product, go watch Stranger Things and then watch |
| 1:38.3 | some strange guys talk about some things. Yeah, how many times do we have to mention Stranger |
| 1:42.9 | Things on this pod to pop up as a recommended video after people are done watching it? Because I think we should try to game it. A little like Hawkins breakdown. They had some basketball clips in there, right? Did they? Yeah, Dustin in season, I think, two or three. I forget. There's some basketball going on. |
| 2:01.3 | Caleb. |
| 2:01.8 | Caleb was putting it up. He was on the team guys. You're still behind. I'm okay with that. And the guy who got killed at the mall, I'm trying to, there were some basketball. A lot of great, but Billy, solid ball pressure guy, I thought. He was believable. Steve, I don't know. Steve seems like a wispy tuxedo score to me, but Rob doesn't even know what we're talking about. |
| 2:20.7 | But the stranger, the stranger, the stranger heads out there, they know, they know. I mean, Billy definitely had the haircut of a guy who would be really, like a really annoying mid-major player who became a cult hero. So I guess that's worth something. Steel percentage through the roof, though, I bet. He would definitely be a presti radar guy, I think. Yeah. Less of a help defender, more of a point of attack guy. I could see it. Yeah, for sure. For sure. All right. Why do growing businesses love working in Slack? Let's ask Christia Ari Bikes. Running things in Slack saves me so much time. |
| 2:51.4 | AI summaries save 97 minutes per week. |
| 2:54.5 | What say you? |
| 2:55.4 | Rocks from Gosney. |
| 2:56.4 | Slack helps us build community. |
