Thank you. Alex Finn
Just the man I wanted to talk to
Yo yo yo yo
What up
Guess what I've got in my hands
Limitless
How'd you know
Because I installed cameras in your house
And I watch you all day
What the fuck
That is a little creepy man
How'd you know I got my limitless today
I just told you That is wild Maybe your. How'd you know I got my limitless today?
I just told you.
That is wild.
Maybe your limitless told you that I had a limitless.
I hacked your limitless, and so I just listen to everything you do and say.
Let's look.
Our vision is to free the human mind from its biological limitations. If you believe technology can augment our capabilities in ways we never imagined, we're building for you.
Interesting.
That's what we're talking about.
That's it.
I've got my...
So wait, you're still in love with it?
Yeah, I'm building apps on it.
I got a really good idea.
You're going to build your own?
I'm building my own app for it.
So what does that mean tell me more well i'm building an app that automatically every day like uh takes all my voice logs from the
limitless and uh builds like a journal entry automatically builds the to-do list uh pulls
out all the content ideas and it all gets stored on a website
where I can just go back and see all my content ideas
from every day and my journal entries from every day
and things like that.
Are you gonna, how do I use the app?
That I'm building?
I gotta put it live on the internet.
Nice.
Can I get it for free?
Yeah.
All right, I'm set.
I'm putting a little necklace in.
Oh, that's cute.
Just kind of like dangles over.
I'm also tying it into my next app that I'm building.
What's the next one?
I can't reveal all the details, but it's going to change the world.
all the details, but it's going to change the world.
You can share it here.
You can share it here. This is a safe space.
This is a safe space.
Let's just say it is going to be the best mainstream use of AI ever.
Wow. Kenny, what do you think is currently the best mainstream use of AI?
The best mainstream use? Wow, that's tough. I don't know. I think people get a ton of value out of the LLMs.
And I think people have a lot of fun
with generating art in mid-journey or whatever.
I use it practically most for thinking.
I love think mode on Grok
and I love to ask difficult questions and just sort of uh
have it prime my own thinking like i don't trust it to take me all the way yet but to get me to
think about uh different ways to approach an idea i love using ai for that do you think that's a
mainstream use though well i don't know is ai mainstream really at all right now i mean chat gpt is the fastest growing
app in history so i think that makes it somewhat mainstream but i don't really know how people are
using other than like what you joke about they do fart jokes or whatever with it
so there there really is no mainstream use not yet there i guess it depends on how you define mainstream. If you are a computer engineer or
software engineer, it's definitely mainstream to use AI to help with coding now. And I think
that's probably the most valuable in terms of ROI. Here's how I would, maybe, and this is my
definition, maybe it's not the definition, but it's my definition of how I measure things.
What is my dad doing with it?
That's how I measure mainstream use.
What is my dad doing with it?
And right now he's doing absolutely nothing.
He doesn't use it at all.
We have this technology that immediately increases your IQ by 50 points that can solve every problem on planet Earth and do anything.
But like normal ass people don't use it.
Normal ass people aren't getting the benefits of like 50 additional IQ points and being able to do whatever they want.
So to me, there is no mainstream use yet.
It's the fastest growing app,
but it's the fastest growing app amongst the internet native, right? So something to think
about. So interesting sort of a use case that could be mainstream that I've been doing a bit
recently is I put on voice mode when I'm cooking, right? Or when I'm getting prepared to cook.
And if I'm not quite sure exactly what I
want to make, I can tell it what's in the fridge. I ask it, uh, you know, what temperature and for
how long is the best way to cook the different meats that I have? Uh, things like that are an
interesting use case. Yeah, that's cool. I'm, I'm taking it to, uh, I'm taking taking I'm going to build a
I'm building an app
that all our parents and uncles and aunts will be using
that's my goal
that's what I want
I want to make it happen
so what's the front door?
like how do you get people
that really don't care about AI
to start using it?
well they don't even know it's AI.
It's just a supremely useful app
that takes almost no effort
to use.
And it's integrated into things
people do every day.
All right.
He's not giving us the
pure details just here. I can't. It's a $10 billion idea. I can't give it away. Someone will steal it.
Alex, weren't you the one who was something like,
nah, people aren't going to steal your ideas. Just throw them out into the world.
You just have to build better than them. If they want to try and take it, that's okay.
This one is so good, though, that if I say it out loud, people will go to investors,
raise $100 million, and hire 400 people to have it out tomorrow.
Ani, he's talking about you, right? Your people?
Yep.
There you go. I knew it.
Alex, how long does this pendant take to update?
It says a required pendant firmware update is available.
Please keep the pendant near your phone.
I'm plugged in.
It shouldn't take too long.
It shouldn't take too long at all.
That'd be good.
Does it need to be like...
Alright, I don't know. We'll see. I'll get back to it.
Why'd you buy it, Wolf? What are you
planning on using your Limitless for?
I'm going to use it to record
my conversations with alex so
that i can figure out what this 10 million dollar idea is and then build it that's actually why i
bought a penny you're not gonna get it out of me he's gonna slip up it's gonna be you know late
one night he'll have a couple of non-alcoholic drinks in him and the next thing you know he's
spilling the beans uh i don't know we'll see
we'll see we'll see what ends up happening i'm just a good salesman i just sold them on he doesn't
even know what it does i'm that's how good i am at sales i just convince people to buy shit like
that what's the key to being good at sales what's the key to being good at sales is uh to be charismatic is that it you're yeah just be likable if you're likable people just
just be likable so what's the secret to be charismatic what's the secret of being charismatic
to being likable yeah let's just practice it
that makes no sense wait how do you practice 100 makes it how do you get good at playing
basketball yeah but like with basketball you know what the goal is there's a hoop and a ball and you
need to get the hoop and the ball but when you say be charismatic that's very open-ended what do you
mean you don't know what the goal of being charismatic is it's relating to people and
communicating with people yeah but you, Penny, there is books like
How to Make Friends and Influence People.
Dale Carnegie.
Yeah, I'm saying skill.
Like you can read Dale Carnegie.
And he does kind of teach you like how to do that.
Yeah, I think that's my point.
I was hoping that Alex would teach us how to do it
because I don't think that it comes naturally to everyone to understand even necessarily what it means to be charismatic.
They may look at someone and be like, oh, that person is charismatic because they're surrounded
by friends or whatever, but they don't know the difference necessarily between themselves and that
person and how do they get better at the things that that person is good at, right? I don't think
that that comes naturally to everyone. So yeah, that book, Dale Carnegie, how to win friends
and influence people. I've read it. I love it. Uh, I took a lot away from it, but I want to hear
Alex's take. You just got to practice, uh, relating to people and understanding how people communicate
and understand how people think. You know, I, I, uh, was a very shy, uncharismatic person for most of my life up until I turned 24.
And then I took my first tech sales job.
So I was a developer.
And then I took like a tech consulting job, which is a mixture of development and sales.
And my life depended on relate, like relating to people and gaining charisma right if
I if I didn't sell shit then I lose my job and my career is ruined and over and so I had to very
quickly learn how to communicate with nerds developers learn how to communicate with
executives learn how to communicate with sales people learn how to communicate with a whole
bunch of different personas and get them to do things I
need right I had to convince them that you know if it's a potential client how to buy shit if it's
people internally at the company I work for get me information whatever it is and when you got a gun
to your head there's no better learning environment than that right when when you have a gun your head
that says your life's over if you don't fucking get good at this or learn this. And so for a long time, I learned those skills and
then eventually parlayed those skills into this shit. And now I do this full time. It's 100%
a practicable skill, though. 100%. It's like basketball. It's like any other skill. Charisma
and talking to people and connecting with people and uh getting people to do things
is 100 equal of a skill as shooting a basketball into i also think that if you stop doing it and
stop practicing it you get worse yeah just like any other skill 100 and if people want to um
i say understand people i think that's the other thing is going into psychology so
if you're wanting charisma the other thing is going into psychology. So if you're wanting charisma,
the other thing is understanding like the different people and different
personalities.
So if you're like,
Hey,
I'm going to practice.
I'm going to try to talk to people,
but you also have to understand like what their motive is and ask more
questions than you speak yourself.
And if you can start understanding different people's like personalities
and motives,
are they an emotional person?
Are they a data driven person?
Are they someone that's going to take time to make a decision and back away? That's all going to help you. But it's
understanding the psychology behind people, which that sounds fancy and all, but just learning
people. And Alex did a great job when he used to do all of his big spaces, which I kind of miss.
But he would just have randos up there and he could interact with every single rando,
regardless of if they were an engineer or
they were smoking pot in their mom's basement like listening more was like the main thing
yeah you eventually you eventually uh are able to understand people um the moment you start
speaking to them you'll just know what type of archetype of a person they are.
You know, what will push them, what will push their buttons,
what will make them happy, what will make them feel good.
We just had an interview with a person and I made a joke that I knew in the
back of my head, they weren't going to like the joke,
but I made the joke anyway, because I knew what type of person they were.
And I knew what, you know know if i made this joke to i feel like penny he'd laugh and and it'd be like a really good time i knew this joke to this person who'd piss
them off and i said it anyway um so it is when you you eventually get to the point where you learn um
you look you learn about people and their archetype you just know the moment you start
speaking like okay i know who's this type of person i know what's going to push their buttons You learn about people and their archetypes. You just know the moment you start speaking.
I'm like, okay, I know who's this type of person.
I know what's going to push their buttons.
I know what's going to make them do things.
You have this joke, bro.
What was the joke?
I'm not going to say it.
So Alex works on his charisma by purposely telling jokes that he thinks are going to piss people off.
Good job, Alex. his charisma by purposely telling jokes that he thinks are going to piss people off good job alex
i'm i'm a little bit of a chaos agent and sometimes i like pissing people off they don't
call him the rizzler for nothing he's got that charisma down in there you know i'm saying
alex what actually i would pay to have you do a podcast with the Rizzler. I'm just curious what that would be like.
That's the fat kid, right?
I've never consumed any of his content.
I just people post pictures and say, this is the Rizzler.
I don't even know how he got famous.
I believe they call it big boned, but sure.
Yeah, something along those lines.
Danielle, what's your thoughts on the charisma conversation?
And he got famous because he has riz, Alex.
Is he? Is that why? Okay.
Well, I think Alex, I mean, I was attracted to Alex charisma. I used to sit there and listen to him talk to people. And also like Sarah, who's also on here, used to be great because they could just interact the hell out of people. But I think the other thing is being with charisma, that is also do not come off as a salesperson. The moment someone thinks that you're a salesperson is the moment that you lose them because now you've got an ulterior motive to,
you don't really care about, you're not asking me questions because you want to know, you're
asking me questions because you're trying to think like, how can I make a sale? And that's like,
that is something that people can see through real quickly.
But Danielle, don't you think Alex personifies someone who looks like a salesman?
Like when he starts talking about creator buddy, he's almost like a meme of a salesman.
Oh, absolutely.
And he comes up, but the thing is he owns it.
So that's the other thing is like, if Alex was like, nah, I'm not a salesman.
I'm not, I'm just here just to make your life better.
We all know that's bullshit. But Alex is out there like, nah, it'm not a salesman. I'm just here just to make your life better. We all know that's bullshit.
But Alex is out there like, nah, it's like how I describe fighter pilots.
Like fighter pilots are so incredibly freaking cocky.
But I love that.
I want whoever's in that seat driving that, flying that multi, multi-million dollar aircraft
to be cocky as hell.
Alex is cocky as hell because he knows he's got a good product and he's pushing it out
there.
And instead, if he was like, oh, you know, I've got this product, it might work.
How many people would actually follow him and like, um, it would actually engage with him because if he didn't have belief in himself and his product and he wasn't cocky and he wasn't
openly like, Hey, look, I'm a sales guy, but he's like, I'm in a sales guy. I got an amazing product.
You can either buy it and it can help your life
or you can just be stuck on the sidelines.
Like he doesn't care if you don't buy it.
Like that's the best part is that he doesn't,
he wants to help you.
But if you're going to, you know, flip him the bird
and not buy his product and tell him it's shit,
he's okay with that.
You just hurt yourself.
Yeah, I mean, that's another key to sales is like,
yeah, I pitch Creator Buddy a lot and i tell people to buy and i put it on the stages of the spaces i speak on like this one right here
that big orange logo uh but if you're like there's a lot of people try to sell shit and get you to do
shit but they like have to it because they're too scared to like pimp their shit or sell it or like represent it.
And so you do it kind of halfway and it comes off as inauthentic and it leads to less people
buying your product. Right. So if you got to go, there's no half measures. If you're going to do
something to do with all your hearts, I go all the way in. Yeah, I think I have an awesome product
and I think people should buy it. And so I go all the way in and tell people about it. If I were to halfway do it and try to sneaky sell it or sneaky talk about it, then it comes
off as inauthentic and kind of turns people off.
I think the most attractive, the most attractive feature in a human being is authenticity.
I think it's the thing people are attracted to most.
I think if you're a hot ass dude and you're kind of a phony and
then there's another dude who's like mid, but he's really authentic. I think the chick goes
for the mid dude who's really authentic rather than the hot ass dude who's phony and vice versa.
So, you know, I think you go, it's something you can a hundred percent control is authenticity
and how authentic you are. So yeah, I fucking sell my shit but uh i'm confident in it
and also like there's i know it's gonna help people's lives so i push it hard so it is what
it is you just got to be your authentic self anything you do do like i if you talk shit to
someone's face if you do an authentic way i feel like they get less angry than if you like kind of
sneaky talk shit to their face you know isn't that Sarah became, like, your co-host for a while?
Yeah, she would talk shit.
We'd talk shit to each other, and it was like,
we knew neither of us were taking it personally,
and that's why we became friends.
Like, there's people who, they get all clammy and cranky and angry at you for, you know, they take everything personally,
and it's kind of gross, and, you know,
you don't want to have anything to do with them So yeah, that's how me and Sarah became friends
She doesn't even say shit when we do the spaces anymore
But I still do it
Just because every once in a while she'll talk shit to me
How do you and Penny meet?
I think me and Penny met
When he came up on one of my stages one time
And we started talking and he said interesting things.
I'm like, oh, this guy's saying interesting things.
That's not it, dude.
We met when you posted your first big algorithm post and you had said you'd read all 400,000 lines of code.
And I was trying to come up with some suggestions to feed Elon on how to improve the algorithm.
I'm like, I'm going to team up with this Alex guy because then I don't have to read 400 000 lines of code that's how we met was that that was the first time we ever communicated
i remember you came in a space like oh this guy's got a bunch of followers i'm gonna bring them up
and then uh and then we talked like oh he's an interesting guy the the dms around the algorithm
came before that as the way i remember it they
did i don't think i knew you at all you were just some snot monkey you know nft guy at that point
all right i guess it's how we met and i've been friends ever since and then there's annie annie
we met a couple years ago. She joined my community.
And then they just started doing a whole bunch of stuff and being really helpful.
And never asked for anything.
She just contributes value.
And then I'm like, all right, I like this person.
I want to hang around her.
And we've been friends ever since then.
Giving value.
It's big.
Absolutely. I don't regret that.
And this is literally one of the most important
relationships of my life. And it never feels true. That's another thing with like important
thing about building relationships online is like, you don't want to make them feel transactional.
Like, I have a lot of friends on here and like, I just try to ask for as little
as humanly possible. Cause I don't want anyone to feel like it's transactional. Like, Oh, you do
something for me. I do something for you. You do something for me. I do something for you.
Uh, you know, that's another key to really real authentic relationships on here as well as like
you value when you can try to ask for as little as humanly possible. And like,
that'll keep the relationship healthy. And you know, there is something about the, Hey guys, good morning.
Um, that a lot of that lends itself to being a better communicator is it's theory of mind.
If you've ever heard of that branch of, uh, cognitive psychology. And when you think of it,
it's on simple, like to be able to put yourself in another person's shoes.
But it's more than that.
It's being able to pick up on their communication, their mind, but it's different than yours and how they think about things.
I think that it improves also, of course, as we get older and we have many different life experiences and we can be able to relate to other people more.
But it's so when we talk about empathy, it's not that so like, Ani, it's not that you're suffering and I have empathy for you.
That empathetically understanding that you are a unique individual thinking different than me.
But I can put myself in your shoes and imagine how I would feel if I were you.
It's actually it's kind of,
it's not something everybody really has, you know, and it's, I think that, I think it's a gift
for people. And I think that's definitely part of, you know, how to win friends and influence people
as well. It's a great book. Amazing book.
it's a great book amazing book
Sarah what's up
not much I'm in my laundry room
and I'm trying to do
laundry because I haven't done it in a week
and yeah hi Alex
hi Penny I hope you guys are well
you don't have someone else doing your laundry Sarah what's up with that yeah. Hi, Alex. Hi, Penny. I hope you guys are well.
You don't have someone else doing your laundry, Sarah?
What's up with that?
I do my own laundry.
I like laundry.
Penny, does someone else do your laundry?
Yeah, who does your laundry, Penny?
I wish. I would pay
anything to have someone
do my laundry. I think I may sign up
for a laundry service but uh yeah
no i just would they're washing your unmentionables penny do you want strangers touching your panties
yes if i don't have to and someone else will i gotta know i got nothing to hide
what do you think i got like shit stains in my pants or something. Go ahead. Clean my underwear for me.
You're not going to find anything unexpected there.
There's some loose chains in the pockets.
Welcome to this.
I'm sorry, you guys.
That's always been my motto.
If you leave it in your pocket and I do laundry, it now becomes mine.
In fact, I'm not kidding.
I'll take a picture of it. I have a money jar in my laundry room where I have taken money from every person in my home
whose laundry I've ever done it for. It's probably got $500 in there. Not kidding.
My little brother did my laundry when I was like, just graduated high school,
got a job and started making money. I was paying him to do my laundry for me and he did he waited like 15 years to tell me that he took hundreds of dollars
out of my pockets when he was doing my laundry never clued me into that I always just like paid
him the separate amount and uh yeah unfortunate you know what I do though with my laundry money
that I get for doing laundry is at the end of the year in December,
I give it, I divide it three ways and I give it to my kids, which is basically my husband's money.
And I just give it to my kids. I divide it three ways, but I'm not kidding. But like last year,
I think, I think there was like $1,200. So I divided $1,200 between my kids three ways.
Damn, I need to start a laundry service and just collect money out of other people's pockets.
Oh, geez.
Imagine that.
Imagine the people that do have laundry service.
Imagine how much money they find.
Yeah.
How come all I ever find is Kleenexes that end up all over the clothes in my dryer
that doesn't work on my house yeah now that my kids are grown and gone i no longer find pens
crayons markers so that's always been a bonus or you know i don't have to pick up socks that can
basically have so much dna on them they can walk down to the laundry room themselves.
So it's a real bonus.
Moving up in life.
All right, Sarah, I want to get your thoughts.
Alex gave us his theory on how to be a good salesman is to be likable, have a lot of charisma.
What's your thoughts behind that?
How do you get people to like you?
I get any more. I don't care because I'm not trying to sell anything I'm not trying to
I'm not trying to build anything so I don't care anymore but when I was you know when I was younger
and I actually cared he's right likeability is and relatability is key If people walk in and you have resting asshole face, nobody likes you. And they'll never get over that quick first impression of you that in somewhere and you're instantly likable,
I think that that will always set the standard. Part two is you have to be a bit of a chameleon.
You have to know your audience. If you don't know the audience that you're speaking with,
or you're not adaptable to whatever situation you're in, then you're not going to be good. That's what charisma is,
is being adaptable, being able to walk into any room, no matter who is in there, and somehow
present yourself as likable, as relatable. So always know, read the room. I see so many times
where people cannot read a room. They can't change or shift when the tone changes.
And speaking of resting asshole face,
I'm just looking at your PFP right now.
Total resting asshole face.
It's good points.
A lot of good things.
AI, getting people to like you. These are things I like to talk about. What's up, honey?
I was about to say the chameleon thing. You're adjustable because you can understand what makes other people tick. You know what I mean?
It's in other words, it's not how I see you. It's how I see you think and what is important to you. I think that's a key indicator of a good salesman
because you have to find the person's X factor. You have to find their bullet points. You have
to find what they value and why they value it and then match what you can do for them
to what's most important to them. I'm reminded of a situation when my husband and I, we were furniture shopping.
And, you know, we were shopping around.
We wanted to find the right furniture for the dogs to really chew up.
So, you know, we went to several furniture stores and they're on commission.
And we walked into one and I just, I told the guy exactly what I wanted.
I told the guy exactly what I wanted.
This is what I want.
Do you have this?
And we did this tour of the store and showing me this, showing me that.
None of those things were what I had asked for.
And I actually did like something that was at that store, but I ended up walking out because he took me on a world tour while simultaneously not listening to me with what exactly I wanted. And we ended up buying
it at a buying the same piece of furniture at a competing store, because I said, this is what I
want. It's this color. It's this. Do you have that or something similar? And the guy just walked me
right over. And I said, right then I'll take it. And he was like, oh, cool. Anything
else you want? I was like, I maybe I need a coffee table. And he was like, what kind? Described it,
brought me over, showed me two. I took one too. It's also knowing what people want. And if people
are decisive and they tell you what they want upfront, deliver it.. And then they are happy and then they'll think of you
because now I'll just always go back to that place.
Yeah, when you're selling something tangible,
I think it's a lot easier like selling a couch, you know.
You can see it, you can feel it, you know.
But if it's an intangible, like let's say, you know,
if you create an AI assistant for social media, people have, you have to know what they want.
So why are you growing?
You know, what is, what are your goals here?
You know, how, like, what is it that, why are you here?
And you have to kind of paint the picture for them in their own minds and kind of lead them to their answer, which is, I want this AI assist.
Well, for example, you know, I'm not shilling for creator buddy here, but I'll just shill for
creator buddy. There's been three people now that I've gotten to use Alex's tool and how I sell it
is I can use it. Anybody can use it. It's easy. So there you go. If you
want easy, quick, there you go. It doesn't take very much selling because, you know, you can turn
around and have people word of mouth it for you and make it so that it's something that they want
to talk about or that they want to tell people about. And, you know, that's, that works for me. I just tell people what works for me,
what I like about it. But if you don't believe in what you're selling, it's really hard to sell it.
Although I think Alex could probably sell snake oil back to a snake because he's good like that.
He's good at it. You know, I recall, um, I spent 20 years building a nonprofit and I
was, I would have to talk people out of their money. And if you want a hard job, you got to
find out exactly what people are really interested in and what they'll care about. I'm going to forget
this guy, Todd, rich as shit. I mean, this guy was rich AF. And he came into my clinic and said,
where are your gaps? And I said, I have so many. What are your interests? Who are you interested
in? Well, children have my heart. So, you know, we went back and forth and to me trying to find
the lever of what this guy cared about, he ended up giving me hundreds of thousands of dollars for
pediatric medicines. And he put my feet to the fire in terms of delivering on that. He ended up giving me hundreds of thousands of dollars for pediatric medicines,
and he put my feet to the fire in terms of delivering on that. He'd come and he'd look
at my books. He wanted to know I was getting a not another dime if he was not satisfied.
So yeah, finding what makes people tick, what they care about, what they value,
if you're going to sell them anything, I think that was absolutely critical in my experience.
You mentioned something there, Sarah, that actually I'll take any advice on.
So I'm actually closing on a condo today.
I'm going to drive over there in a couple hours to the bank.
And I'm going to have to outfit it, right?
I'm going to have to buy some furniture
and other stuff. What's your advice if someone decided to go through it? I think know what you
want before you go. Look at your area, look at your space, take measurements. My God, measure
your walls, measure everything. Go in there and when you hit the store, you know the measurements.
And when you hit the store, you know, the measurements.
I was not smart about that.
And I bought this, this giant dresser.
And my husband said, we're gonna have to take off the bedroom door to get this in.
And I said, no, no, no, no, no.
It'll be fine.
We had to take off the bedroom door.
And then when we got it in the room, he was like, why did you buy this thing?
It's so ridiculously big. Well,
you know, I looked at it in the furniture store and when it's in a massive store, it doesn't look
that big, but I get it into the house and I was like, God, so measure everything and know what
you want before you even go in and then tell them, this is what I want. This is the color. Show me.
That's how you do it.
I wish that I could start from scratch.
We are planning a move.
When I move, I'm not taking anything.
I'm going to start all over.
So I'm a little jealous of you, Wolf.
Yeah, I definitely kind of have to start all over for mostly because I moved to Puerto Rico.
So to basically ship down some of my stuff,
it's just more expensive to ship it than to buy it here. So we are going to be restarting. And
when you say know exactly what you want in regards to furniture, there's one of the two of us,
me and my fiance, who know exactly what we want for furniture. And it is not me, I'll tell you
that. She's been sending me an awful lot of different ideas and things. But most things don't ship here
to Puerto Rico, which is interesting as well. So you kind of got to scavenge a little.
Also bring pictures of where you're putting the furniture, because sometimes you're like,
oh, wait, what about wall, even though you got measurements, like you might forget like,
oh, there's the Oh, no, there's a window there. There's that there. Like take take pictures of
your house or even like a video before you go. And so when you're looking at it, you're like, oh, and then depending on the store, um, a lot of, like, if it's a store where they
have you walk in, walk out with the furniture, a lot of those, I mean, and I'm assuming it'd be
the same way in Puerto Rico that you can sometimes negotiate, which is really interesting. Um, if
it's not like a big box retailer. So I say sometimes the smaller stores, especially if
you're buying a substantial amount, they'll negotiate with you.
She's absolutely right because we did go to a smaller store that was local. It wasn't a chain.
And based on the amount that we spent there, they did negotiate it down. And plus we got the white glove delivery. Alex, how can AI help me with this process?
How can AI help you with the process of buying shit for your condo?
Yes.
I don't know.
Oh, I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
Take a picture of your house and then take pictures of a bunch of stuff in the store.
And then you can ask AI what looks good and what will, and they can put it in.
So some of the AI models will actually, like, you can take a picture of your room that you have and then, like, put two or three and say, like, what of this will look good in my house?
And it will figure it out.
And I've actually seen people do that.
Well, Amazon has that on their site.
Yeah.
If you buy a coffee table table it'll be like show me
what it looks like in the room and i you know you could use ai to do that too i like i like that
idea what about using grok you know the the new camera thing that grok accesses on your phone
you could show it around the condo have have it take some measurements, take it with you, see if it's going to fit in the store. Ask Grock.
Grock could work too. That could be interesting.
Any other first-time homeowner advice from the panel?
I'm open to ideas. No worries if not.
If you're painting, paint now.
Paint before you get your new furniture in there.
Yes.
And you know what?
Make improvements.
Improve your bathroom and kitchen.
Those are the areas that when you go to sell it later on, you will love the fact that you updated everything in the bathroom and the kitchen. That was the first thing that we changed when we moved in. What do you think of as like
general improvements? Like what were you looking at? Well, for the, for my kitchen, it, you know,
it was everything and it was cheap. It was just cheap. The countertops were cheap. The flooring was cheap.
The appliances were like standard appliances that they stick in, you know, into homes that are just built.
And so what we did was, as we could afford it, we started replacing things with higher end.
So, for example, you know, we just had like a standard refrigerator.
And then I replaced it. and then replaced the stove and then I started replacing everything else but the bathroom we gutted.
The bathrooms and kitchens, that's where you're going to spend the money.
You should see my bathroom.
It's so funny because I don't care about closet space.
So the bathroom and the bedroom closet were side by side.
We just took out the closet and made a bigger bathroom.
Pretty awesome.
That does sound nice.
Does sound nice.
Yeah, because now we have a full his and her bathroom and we don't have to share.
I don't like sharing bathrooms, not even with my husband.
He's gross.
I'm sure he loves to hear that. He does. He knows it. I tell him you're gross and I don't want to share a bathroom with you. So the bathroom is a true his and hers. You walk in
to my side and it's all cute and pretty and feminine. And then you go in where the closet was because we have two bathroom, two doors to the bathroom.
And then you're on his side and his side.
I don't even go in.
Happy wife, happy life.
There is something to that.
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
I don't know why they don't do his and hers bathrooms in all homes because I'm telling you what, we don't have to share any portion of the
bathroom it's saved my marriage sarah it's because we want you to clean our half if you get disgusted
by my disgusting sink then you're going to maybe clean it for me i don't want my own i knew it i
don't think i knew it that was i don't think my god i knew I don't think I've been in his bathroom in probably five years.
Not even kidding.
Interesting.
He did go into my bathroom once.
And I said, what did you touch?
Because now I have to wipe it down with Clorox.
True story.
If you went into his bathroom, would you expect it to be clean?
Or is it like a hellscape
oh god you know what now i have to go check hold on penny put it on uh the grok video mode and let
it know if grok says it's clean or dirty if i don't come out call 911 alex you know where i am
all right deal i have one more for you wolf um don't make compromises like if you like something that's
probably like a couple hundred dollars more and you're like trying to be like well let me go with
the cheaper option like go with the higher end one because like you're you're gonna get more out of
it and then it's like uh you know you get you get more security with it and stuff like that so
and also like you'll feel your peace of mind when you see it whether
it's a fresher or like an appliance or anything you'll feel like okay well this is something that
i like so just go with the higher end penny what's your that's a good idea there penny what's your
single favorite thing that you've purchased for your place oh man uh that's a good question it's
probably related to my studio.
Like I love my desk set up now.
I've got good cameras and good microphones and everything else.
My bed is wonderful.
I absolutely love my bed.
Oh yeah.
Give me some, give me some bed recommendations.
What do people got?
I was looking at eight sleeps.
No, what you do, that's where you spend your money on.
You can get a cheap couch. You can get a
cheap coffee table, but don't go cheap on your bed ever, ever. My bed is probably the most
expensive piece of furniture I have in my house. Not even joking. Yeah, that's right. Sleep number
wolf. Uh, you know, I got one of those, it's a $10,000 investment dollar investment but it it regulates my body temperature it does
everything that you would expect to have a comfortable night i mean it's it goes up and
down it goes in and out i mean it does everything you know we're happy to spend forty thousand
dollars on a car that you spend like an hour or so in a day but you're on a bed for like eight
hours a day the way that i gauge whether i'm going to buy something that's high end or low end is
how often and how much I'm going to use it.
Right.
So like I wear a t-shirt every single day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
So I'm going to buy a really nice t-shirt, right?
I'm going to probably keep it for years
and the the the cost per use is gonna be low no matter what i buy so i just feel like things like
a bed things like a good t-shirt like the staples the stuff that no matter what every day you're
gonna use that stuff it's it's always worth spending a little bit more on. So does anyone have an eight sleep?
Because that's one of the things I've been looking at.
No, I have this.
Oh, I can't remember.
It's something black edition.
But the bed itself was, just the bed was $20,000, just the mattress.
And then the box spring that came with it, because they recommended the box spring, that was $4,000, just the mattress. And then the box spring that came with it, because they recommended
the box spring, that was $4,000. And I was like, and then I invest in really good sheets and really
good comforters. And my bed is, like I said, it's the most expensive thing in the house.
Sounds like the Mecca.
If somebody came in, robbed me blind, and took my bed and the dogs,
I would hunt them down.
I would hunt them down like the mafia. They would end up six feet under, well, eight feet, you know, just in case.
I love to hear it. Everybody, you all right fun fun i appreciate all the tips and advice on the bed and everything else alex let me go back to you what else is on your mind what else
you've been thinking about this week besides trader joe's besides trader joe's uh i uh i upgraded my water i drink now only mountain valley water which is 35 a case but
it's like water is the most important thing in the world so i'm not getting
different it has like minerals in it it's uh it's it's glass so the water comes in glass
anything with plastic did you get in the plastic in your balls, right?
So I get it in the glass.
It's perfectly pure.
It's got a little bit of magnesium in it.
Everyone's magnesium deficient, right?
So this solves that.
And it tastes great, it tastes spectacular.
So I'm curious about this water. Do you purchase it at
the store? Do you have it delivered? I get it at Whole Foods. I go to Whole Foods
like twice a week and I get the case of the big bottles.
You would never drink water at my house. Not with my Kirkland water.
You would never touch it. Well, like plastic bottles?
Yeah. Maybe I'll switch to Whole Foods.
You're gonna die.
Dude, I'm gonna die anyways.
Like, who cares?
Yeah, but now you're gonna really die.
Now you're, like, fucking dead.
Now I'm not gonna decompose, though.
So then, you know, AI can bring me back
because I'm so full of plastic, right?
AI's gonna figure out a way how to deplastify yourself.
You think so?
Yeah, that's going to happen before
any of us die of plastic poisoning.
So, you know,
like Elon says that, you know,
AI is going to fix climate change
before we have to worry about it.
I think AI is going to fix the
plastification of humans.
Ed, what do you do with AI?
What's the AI
plan you're doing? What are you doing with it?
I don't know. I mean, I just
ask it questions
in my daily life.
What's the last question you asked AI?
Let me bring up
my phone for a second.
How will you survive another three years of trauma with AI?
Tell me.
No, I don't need AI for those type of questions.
But I've asked it.
So my last question was about Windows XP
because my son's really into taking apart old computers and doing stuff like that.
So it's pretty helpful.
Like you ask a question, like, how do I fix this?
I take a picture, send it to it, and it gives me an answer.
And it's like you can do anything with AI.
Oh, and I should send you all the old computer towers that I have
that I've never thrown away because I quote might need them
sometime even though some of these are 20 years old yeah so my wife made a post on Facebook saying
hey our son's really into fixing computers taking them apart and so if you have old computers let
us know and like we had so many people just give us all their old computers.
But he probably he's probably gotten like 20 old laptops and desktops.
Ed, how would you rate Trump's first 100 days, not based on how you think it went, but based on what your expectations were?
That's a good question.
I'd say it's actually, I mean, I guess it depends on the area, right?
When it comes to the economy, he's doing much, much worse than I expected.
When it comes to immigration, I think there's some good things he's done
and some horrific things he's done and some horrific
things he's done. You know, I don't know. I think it depends on the different things
that different, I guess, subcategories.
Overall, would you say it's gotten better than you were expecting or worse than you
were expecting?
I'd say slightly worse.
Slightly worse?
Okay.
I'm just curious.
Do you think if Kamala won, you'd be bored right now?
What would you tweet about if Kamala won?
No, yeah.
My whole plan was if Kamala won, I was just going to kind of start tweeting more about AI and technology.
So are you like disappointed or are you like pumped?
Yeah, I mean, I'd rather, I think I'd rather be tweeting about stuff that interests me like AI.
I think, you know, I would wake up in a better mood every morning, I think.
So why don't you do it?
It's hard because I want to tweet about stuff I disagree with Trump too.
And once I started tweeting AI stuff, all my political tweets start getting,
stopped getting as much engagement.
Like I was doing really, like at first all my AI stuff was doing bad,
but then it started doing really well.
And then all my political tweets so it's you get like put
in these categories on x so so you really have to pick a lane which kind of sucks so i these it
sounds like you enjoy talking about the ai and crypto stuff more yeah i would say I would definitely enjoy talking about that more. Yeah. Why don't you do what you enjoy?
Because I still feel like I have this platform.
So I want to stand up for what I believe in.
So it's not all about enjoyment, I guess.
So you're sacrificing for us.
You're sacrificing for the good of the ex-community.
Yeah.
I don't know if you'd say sacrificing, but I just feel like
It's something I should do
You'd make a lot more money
Talking about crypto and AI. I mean the advertisers want to pay for that like I get fucking
I get I'm making $20 a day now on YouTube because there's so much ad money in
Crypto or not crypto AI so like if you talk about you YouTube because there's so much ad money in crypto or not crypto AI.
So like if you talk about you probably like there's no one there's no libs on here with blue checks.
Right. So you're not getting paid to talk about politics.
You get paid more. There are. So my my paychecks have been going up on X over the course of the past.
I'd say four weeks or four pay periods or so.
So I think more liberal people are coming back.
I think probably in protest with Trump, they realize that, you know,
just posting on Blue Skies, not really doing too much because it's all liberals on there.
Right.
Is a post on Blue Sky called a skeet?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
I really don't know.
I think just post.
All right.
How does it feel posting about politics?
Do you go to sleep feeling good?
How does it feel?
I don't know. I sleep well. I don't wake up in the middle of dwelling on something.
It's just not as entertaining. I guess I should say I really want to learn more and more about
AI. I feel like I have learned a ton about it.
And, you know, I know probably more than 99% of the people out there about AI.
But I would enjoy more if my day evolved around AI because I would learn even more about it.
And I just think it's super important to be in front of it, whether it's investing or if it's just trying to predict where things are going so you're ahead of the curve.
I think you can do it, man.
I'm a believer in you, man.
I think you can do it.
I think you could be an AI guy on here.
I think you can do it.
I think you can build stuff with AI.
I think it'd be satisfying, but I don't know.
Just my two cents, as they say. I might eventually go be satisfying, but I don't know. Just my two
cents, as they say. I might
eventually go in that direction. We'll see.
All right.
Just thoughts. Back to you, Wolf.
That was
fun. I enjoyed.
Had a good time. Five stars.
Thank you for the Uber ride.
Very cool. Yeah.
We got like nine minutes left. Penny, what else is on your brain?
through every single like under the sink, I'm cleaning out my fridge, every cabinet, every drawer,
every like dry pen or broken pencil is getting thrown out. I'm even organizing all of like my
random screws and other hardware that came with things that I've purchased over the years and
putting them all in special containers. I was like looking for things that I knew I had and I couldn't find them. And it just
absolutely drove me crazy. So I've gone like fully autistic on my cleaning and organization.
And I even am considering like whether or not I want to make a AI powered app to help out with it.
Like would people use an app where you could just video your whole house and it cataloged
an inventory of everything that you have and where it is?
I think, uh, that's something that could be fun to build, uh, and maybe not too difficult
using, you know, some APIs that already exist.
So I'm thinking about possibly doing that, Still need to polish my game and make it ready to share with people.
But, you know, I've just been too caught up trying to catch up with normal things in my daily life right now that I neglected for the past couple of years.
Where's the game?
You building the game still?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the game is at a point now
where the engine works well, like I can do the things, but there's not really a purpose to the
game, right? So like you could log in and kill the same monster 500 times, but what's the point
of that? So I want to like create a bit of a story and like a path that people can get started on
before I share it with people. And I think it's probably like a week's worth of work to do that.
I just like, I was, it was feeling so heavy having this,
this like sort of like super disorganized house.
And I felt like it was weighing on my mind.
So I wanted to, you know, sort of deal with that
before I moved back to finishing the game.
House is in order.
We're feeling good about the order of the house.
Yeah, it's definitely getting there. It's one of those things where it gets worse before it gets
better because I literally take every single thing out of every drawer, every single thing
out of every closet, you know, whatever. And it just ends up in like the middle of the room on
tables or floors where I'm like putting every like thing together so they can get
properly organized.
But I've done, I mean, just in the past two days, like 20 hours worth of work.
So it is like, it's way better than it was.
Good, good.
That's nice, man.
That's nice.
I try to keep this place clean.
You know, they say clean house, clean mind.
So that's good.
Sarah, your hand's raised.
Sarah, jump in here.
Yeah. You know what, Penny? Last summer, the summer before, I can't remember, but
I have, you know, because I have kids, you have kids too. And, you know, all the stuff that you've
stored away for your kids over the years, Halloween costumes. And, you know, I kept a lot of, I kept
almost everything, all their little school projects, all their Mother's Day, you know I kept a lot of I kept almost everything all their little school projects
all their mother's day you know cards that they drew me I had boxes of this stuff plus I had
boxes of loose pictures you know um anybody that is not you know 18 back in the day you used to
take pictures take it take the camera roll and get those pictures developed. I probably had thousands of pictures.
And I hired these two girls in my neighborhood to come and they took them.
They took all these boxes that I had labeled with kids stuff and pictures
and they organized it all for me.
All of it.
They framed stuff.
They did this really cute little shadow box thing
with the Halloween costumes. It's amazing. It's amazing. I'll take pictures. And now instead of
having big Rubbermaid bins full of aging pictures, they put them all in these cute little photo
albums and they're all on my bookshelves in my living room. So I can just grab one and take a look-see, you know, from 25 years ago.
How much did you pay for that service, Sarah?
And like, how long did they spend doing it?
I let them take the boxes home and I'm not sure how, I mean, it was during the summer.
I think I paid them like $500 or $600.
And they just played around, looked at all my pictures and organized them.
And any materials that they needed, like the photo albums and the frames and the shadow box and everything, I bought that.
So I want to say $500 or $600.
That's not bad.
That seems well worth it.
It was well worth it.
They were just teenage girls, but they have whole services that do it.
But I think that these girls, they just, they really wanted to make money and they did such
a really good job.
One of the things that I need to work through is I have a box full of every hard drive from
every computer I've ever owned because I'm always
like afraid of losing any data. Some of them are like 20 years old. Like they don't even use the
same cables that exist now to connect to computers. I don't even think I have cables old enough to
connect them. I'm curious like what people do in terms of like, I don't know, I want to get rid of
all of those, but I want to send them to someone and pay them $500 to like put everything up on Google drive for me. I think that would be great.
If anyone knows of a service, Google it and see if you can ship it off somewhere and do that.
That's a great idea, Penny. Penny, the other thing that you could also use it for, which would be
amazing is so honestly, like when it comes to home insurance and property valuation or like what you're insuring in your house, if you're able to catalog all that and show that, then if something ever happens to like fire damage, all always get insurance. So you could take it to where now it is something that you sell to storage units companies or to the insurance people that do the storage unit companies.
So for anyone to be able to file a lawsuit or file a certain claim, they've got to have used your product or something in order to catalog what is actually in there.
And so you can leverage it to make money outside of just into your house.
And so you can leverage it to make money outside of just into your house.
It can now be a program that you sell to insurance companies that insurance companies use it when people are insuring their home.
They've got to do this scan of their house in order to if they want to claim a property value over a certain amount.
Yeah, I have like a few other cool use cases to like imagine if it kept the expiration dates and the different types of food that you
have in your emergency supply so you know when you need to replace your canned goods.
Same thing. I'll bet some people would use it in their refrigerator. What if instead of scanning
your refrigerator, you just scan the receipts of everything you buy from the store and it does
something like create shopping lists for you or tell you when there's things in your fridge that need to be thrown away.
Buy a refrigerator that does it.
I have it.
You can buy a refrigerator that catalogs everything that you have in your fridge when you bought it.
So buy that, Penny.
You got to get that.
Hey, everybody.
Sorry to cut it short.
I got a live stream here in one minute.
So I'm going to be live streaming to Axe.
I wanted to let this run as long as possible because I was loving the conversation.
I appreciate you all.
You're all my dearest friends and companions and confidants.
Don't tell anyone I told you.
You all just heard it here.
This is our safe space.
Alex, any final comment on this one?
Peace and love and tranquility to all.
Sounds like the town friar.
Penny, anything else for you
peace and love thanks everyone had fun again thank you all take care Thank you.
