This was an event post event. Then you could do new events. Um, but no, uh, every, you know I had worries about parking. I was going to jar obviously already figured it out cause it was, it was packed.
Speaker: There was some regulars there, but that was good too. But yeah, it was packed and everybody said, thanks for having it out here. I appreciate it. And the over under was nine and we had, we beat that at five 25. Yeah, fine. No, it was great. I mean like it'd be in wrong. No. And whiskey in the jar was like, that's one of those places where like I said, it's what we used to do. Like, it's, you know, bring people to like, kind of a little out of the way off the beaten path places. Um, and, and I, if I heard it once, I heard it a dozen times. Oh dude, I, I've heard about this place. I keep meaning to get here. Awesome. It's one of my favorite bars in town. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. But yeah, thanks to the staff that, you know, Mikey and, uh, AKI just hung out for a little bit, but yeah, Mikey, Mikey outdid himself.
Speaker: Great bar time. It was great. Uh, but so next coming up, we've got Ann Arbor on the fifth, I believe. Yeah. We'll be at haymaker public house. Cool. Right on Washington. Make sure you vote before you come to the meetup. That is a trait that at that day, election day, man, uh, and then the 21st we'll be back at Umbro sweet downstairs. That pizza in eyeball pinned video games and electronic jukebox. Yeah. So, Hey, um, you know, we, Dave and I talk about all the time how we a email spreadsheets. We still haven't figured this thing out, but I think we finally did. Um, we, we don't know. We're, we're on all these different platforms. We, we, we don't automate anything. Email for those docs for that sheets for that, but box for this, right? Yeah. Yeah. You did. I send you the Dropbox link. New, but Hey, growing up business is super hard, especially when you're wasting hours moving data from emails to spreadsheets and CRM or wherever.
Speaker: That stuff should just, shouldn't that stuff just happen or that you're lifting a finger? Our friends at Zapier can help. It is the easiest way to automate work that connects all of your business software and handles work for you. So you can focus on things that matter most. No more wasting time on tasks you know, could be automated because that's what they were built to do. If you don't know what they are, checked them out. They're literally, they strip the APIs out of literally every app you use. Got them to talk. So things like a sales automation, if somebody comes in, bring, comes in from your website, fills out a contact form, it goes right into CRM, triggers all these different alerts. When someone buys something from an eCommerce site, it'll trigger a financing, shipping it. It's insane. Doesn't come with trigger warnings. It does not.

I just, I, every time I see it I'm like, is it okay?
Speaker: Zappia web 2.0 spelling. Right. So there's a silent K in a Schwab and lot and yes. Um, but you know what, you know what our events though, it's amazing. A meetup comes out and says they're gonna charge $2 per 10 day and the, the mad coders at Microsoft, I mean LinkedIn, uh, went to work and now LinkedIn events is back. Yeah. And they announced it like they'd never had it before, which was the part that made me laugh like you clowns, like we were using you exclusive until you just dropped it for no reason. And then we had to go to meetup. Right. That was the only available option because we have 8,000 members on LinkedIn and like what a thousand on meet? I lost half of our traction. Yup. Well, well eighth whatever, 87.5%. Thanks. Sales guy. Yeah, I wasn't going to do 12 and a half percent.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. Do the math. But you know, we lost literally. Yeah. It was my understanding there would be no math. I did it for, you know, if you want to be 87.5% of our, we lost, you know, and who knows who, you know. Yeah. And it's, and that's not guaranteeing that, you know, it's crossover that could have been new people that we picked up that aren't on LinkedIn. And yeah. I mean, cause we did, we use LinkedIn events for fricking everything. Um, and I played around this feature maybe cause I'm not a group owner, but I couldn't have see you in a way to associated with a group. Can, can group owners create it on the vent was never associated with the group. Like, so it was always you just created an event. Yes. You just created an event and off you went. Um, it would be better if they could do that, but yeah.
Speaker: By the way, I'm, I am going to come from the South park. I was giggling all day, last couple of days or after I'll do it. It was amazing. So killing it, they're not just killing it. They're gonna make about what, half a billion dollars on the new streaming deal. Cause they're shopping, they're shopping themselves around, which probably won't be picked up in China anytime soon. But member member member when South park central.com had all the episodes for free. I ma I remember now. Yeah. Now someone's listing anymore. No, no, no. It's been awhile. I think it's like a clip and then you've got to go to a Hulu or whatever. But if you didn't see this week, I'm totally going to spoil alert for you. Um, basically they're trashing on the impossible burger from burger King, which is so good given that we just had all the hatch Detroit and the beacon folks got my favorite part.
Speaker: My favorite part of rainy goes to burger King and he goes, it's impossible burger. No takes a bite. Goes tastes like shit. And like 10 burger King guys. I can tell it. Nobody seems to mind. So the whole Oh no, no, no. So no. So that like that was when Randy started making them. Um, cause that was right in the beginning when he went to burger King. Then he made it, decided to make them afterwards. Right. And started making them with all of the leftover weeds and all that other kind of stuff. And so yeah, there was like, he's like, Oh God, Steve's like shit. Takes another bite.
Speaker: Not that bad. Best part is the teas wearing the tee shirt, like to promote it's Tegrity burgers. It starts this thing and it's a Tegrity burger and it's tastes like shit cause you won't care cause you're going to be high. You could buy them on Etsy, which is great. Like the shirts to the burger. I wish you could buy the burgers. Oh my God. Like, so then the, the, the impossible people are like being incredible people in South park. Yeah. So like he's like, I'm a goo man. I sell, I so go, Oh yeah. I tried to play the whole, uh, like I couldn't figure out if they were going for Stephen King character. Uh, but yeah, I'm a goon man and all I do is so goo goo that can be made in the hamburgers, patties, anything. You want it, they do it every week anyway.
Speaker: If you're not watching it, you've got to catch up. It's only been like, what, three or four episodes? Three or four episodes. It's been pretty awesome. But, um, what's, so when all this madness came out with Cinemax, with Comcast, I went, you know, when we had Comcast in here and I'm like, you've got to fix my crap. This is stupid. Yep. So I got my Cinemax. Uh, but guess what? Then all of a sudden start didn't work. And I go, they, they moved they bars, they moved one in the other. But you're telling me they dropped stars altogether. They are dropping stars....
