He'd just come back to it. We're talking about a whole different topic, and he's like, Big O Tires? Really, you could just own 12 Big O Tires, and that's it? And he would just come back to a new example of one of these shitty brick and mortar chains that are so easy, sweaty, cashflow business.

All right, we're gonna start the pod, but before we do, we have an announcement. We are looking to hire a new producer. This producer is gonna be the person who sits live on these podcasts, helps us edit them and make the videos and podcasts popular, helps us get guests.
And so we're hiring.

**Shaan Puri** (0:42)
We're hiring, I almost call them a band manager. It's like, you know, the band manager's job is to make sure that the band blows up, right? And so this podcast has grown a lot. It's time that we find somebody who wants to take it to the next level, booking amazing guests, helping us brainstorm great content segments and be like, guys, people love it when you do the blue collar side hustles. Let's make sure we hit those every week and, you know, keep us on our A game.
Make the audio, the video tighter, make the YouTube channel better, make it pop. We want somebody who's great at this.
Ideally, we hire somebody who's already a fan of the show and is looking to basically hang out with us a few times a week, see how we operate, loves making great content, loves getting content made, and has the, I don't know, kind of like the taste and the skills to put out a great content product, and that's what we're looking for. So if that's you, you can reach out, you can email me. It's shaan at shaanpuri.com, so S-H-A-A-N at shaanpuri.com, and I'll forward it to our team over at HubSpot that is vetting and interviewing everybody. So we're gonna hire somebody this next few weeks.

And it's a full-time position. If you're an amateur, you've never done this before, maybe you'll get noticed, but you have to be really good. We're not looking for people who are trying to take huge risks on. We're trying to find people who are the best. We've already had hundreds of people apply. So we really want the best people out there. If you've never done this before, you could still throw your resume out there and try to impress us, but make sure you do that.
If you've already been there, done that, that's awesome too.
So check it out. Email shaanshaan at shaanpuri.com. All right, let's get to the pod.

All right, you're ready? Greatest show I've ever done.

**Sam Parr** (2:29)
A lot of people have, we got a lot of good comments on the last show. People were saying, someone asked me an interesting question.
They go, your guys' cadence is really good. You guys, you talk really fast and it feels quickly. And then someone said, do you do something to one another? Cause we're, Shaan and I are remote. Do you do something to one another to let each other know that it's your turn to speak? And I was thinking, I think we just have, we just know each other well enough that we know how to do it. But there is something that we each do. At least I pay really attention to you when you do it. And I try to give you the signal, which is you open up your mouth when you want to say something and then you let it sit open for a minute. Do you know what I mean?

**Shaan Puri** (3:08)
It's the zoom hack. Cause you're like, you're like, and the little uh is without the sound is basically just set lighting up. But you know, cause on the recording, they're not going to see it. So it's a silent signal. Whereas if you were doing that in person, it'd be a little like strange.
But yeah, it definitely works. The hard one is during interviews. Cause during interviews, the guest is talking. We don't know when they're going to stop.
They're opening up like probably a bunch of like paths. You could go down like, oh, they mentioned three things. They say it was really hard. Then they said they met a guy who, who was the guy. And they said that it really changed the perspective. But how, what did it change? And so you're like, and then we don't know who's going to go. We're both pretty insatiably curious. I have a bad habit of just like talking too much in general in life. And so then it's like, we don't know which path we're going to go and we don't know who's going to decide.
