What are you doing? So right now we're 30 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.280 going to talk about a new app that I've created with my fiance. It's 31 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.879 called Lola and it's going to everything you touch turns to gold. By the 32 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.519 way, I'm six for six, yes, six or six Okay, I 33 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.359 would say that's platinum, go ahead, Yeah, pretty good me. The 34 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.280 next one's not going to fix everybody with the sixes. So I'm best known 35 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.719 for Kayak, the travel site, which I started two thousand and four and 36 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.159 took a public and then sold it a price line for two billion dollars, 37 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.400 so it was a really nice outcome. But I've also done e commerce, 38 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.840 customer service, security software, consumer travel, business, travel and podcasting and 39 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.319 my six companies, and now I'm running a little adventure studio called Boston Bench 40 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.000 Studio. And what Aventure Studio does is we come up with ideas for new 41 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.319 companies and we build them and then we raise money, We hire CEOs, 42 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.240 and there off to the races, and we've sold one company so far. 43 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.199 We have five companies under development. I'm just sitting here a little because and 44 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.879 you do all this, and have you ever had any issues with anything in 45 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:49.439 your life? Major? Like, let me see. One thing I've been 46 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.520 talking about recently is just my journey with bipolar illness. I got diagnosed at 47 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.759 age twenty five and struggled in my twenties and thirties. But I've been doing 48 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.039 really well the last ten years. Ten last years. This is amazing, 49 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.280 Like we wouldn't have admitted this fifteen twenty years ago, and now you're cool 50 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:08.560 if you have some crazy thing. I don't know, Like I've been talking 51 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.479 about my panic attacks for twenty since for thirty six years, but and people 52 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.639 say, why do you tell people you have panic attacks? Because people will 53 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.719 judge you, and people will I don't give two craps who judges me? 54 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.159 Right, But it's funny how now we're letting all the stuff out, so 55 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.039 and I think that's great. Yeah, And what I would say is smash 56 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.280 the stigma, smash the state. We want to make it safe exactly. 57 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.520 Back in January, I took over Tedex Boston and we hosted a day of 58 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.719 nonprofits at UMass Boston, and we had fifteen nonprofit leaders each tell their story, 59 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.520 and I told my story with a nonprofit. I've started five nonprofits and 60 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.000 one of them is called the Bipolar Social Club. And I cried my own 61 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.960 presentation a little bit. It was tough. When I was done with it, 62 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.800 it was the most vulnerable I'd ever been on tape. I sort of 63 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.400 collapsed and had to go home and be a recluse for a day or two 64 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.639 to get my energy back. And it's out there. It's up on YouTube 65 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.280 now and I can't take it back. But I've heard it helps people. 66 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.039 Do you want to Yeah, I've heard it. It helps people like people 67 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.520 that are real. I've been real my whole life. I don't know any 68 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.639 other way. So when I meet other people that are real, then I 69 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.120 like real people. I don't like people that are fake and phony and people 70 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.360 think, oh god, they got so much money. No this, I 71 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.240 always say, the poor person that becomes rich if they were we use the 72 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.399 word PRII we won't use, but you know what I'm saying. If the 73 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.600 guy was a PRI before he had money, he's going to be a PRI 74 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.920 after he's got money. Right, and the woman too. I don't think 75 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:45.160 money should change anybody. Money should be about something that makes life easier and 76 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.959 help others that you can help make maybe somebody else's life a little bit easier, 77 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.240 but should change who you are, right, And I don't think money 78 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.800 has changed to Paul English? Is am I right now? Not a lot? 79 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.240 I mean my best friends, of my high school friends, and there's 80 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.160 five of us and we've been playing proger since we're twelve years old. We 81 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.480 still get together, and we know the good back and ugly. We know 82 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.079 where the bodies are buried exactly, and they don't give me any credit for 83 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.720 anything. We just give each other and have the best time. So you 84 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.240 hold on to your old friends. I love them. I'm just going to 85 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.759 take a guess that you can't be a cancer or virgo, are you? 86 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.759 I'm a virgo? Okay, Virgos don't hold on the friends. Virgo's and 87 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.600 cancers to hold on to friends. Yeah, I have all my friends since 88 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.839 fourth grade amazing and I like those friends. But the new friends I made 89 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.319 right. So people always ask me how many friends did you make on the 90 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.439 ladder of success? Right? I laugh? I go no, no, 91 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.800 no, no, no, you mean how many friends did I lose? 92 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.160 Right? I really want my friends to begin with, and how many acquaintances 93 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.279 did I make? Right? So, yes, I lean on my old 94 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.199 friends because they know you, they know and they know everything. Yeah, 95 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.920 and they're not the judge in or we're just we're just we're back in our 96 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.560 little bodies as kids. But we're growing ups, right, And it's a 97 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.079 good. Virgos and cancers love their old friends because it's a feeling of safety 98 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.800 and home. Great so that's a good thing, all right. Talked to 99 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.680 me about this dating app. Here's called LOLA. It stands fine for Love 100 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.480 Language l LA. It's Lola dot com. And there's two things about it 101 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.399 that are different than any other dating app. And the reason we came up 102 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.839 with Lola was on my second date with Rachel, which is four years ago, 103 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.199 she pitched me on some ideas for dating app. I'm like, it 104 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.480 sounds interesting. I get pitched like every day for yeah, my now fiance. 105 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.519 We met four years ago and on our second date, she said, 106 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.040 I have an idea for dating app, and pitch me and we would talk 107 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.120 about it. She could go on that second date, the first date to 108 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:38.800 try to pitch you. How did you actually meet her on a dating Yeah? 109 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.480 And she would pitch me every now and because both of us were like 110 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.000 I would describe as prolific daters, we did it a lot. I mean 111 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.319 two in one night, three on the weekends. I mean really, Yeah, 112 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.680 I love meeting people. I love meeting people. So to me, 113 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.759 dating was away just to meet different people, you know, in different places. 114 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.959 Anyway, Rachel and I hit it off, and well way, first 115 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.839 of all, like, see what will say to me? In the old 116 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.600 days, like early on, if I if I sing this text, say 117 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.240 you need me, it's some point, it's amazing. Yeah, yeah, 118 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.000 I love it. How many of those did you do in one night? 119 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.680 How do you escape? Scapevals? Is that they called the escape belves. 120 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.160 I've literally had friends that like go for drinks and they'll be like the person 121 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.879 looks at the picture and they go out. They like walk by their date 122 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.079 and go out the back door of the bar. Yeah, that's not a 123 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.160 good thing. Like you get to look your picture. You can't clean your 124 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.160 picture up to a point where you don't look neat the picture. One of 125 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.079 my women friends, single woman, once was on a date, a bad 126 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.480 date, and she excused herself to go to the bathroom. When she called 127 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.959 me from the bathroom and she said, call me in five minutes and tell 128 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.839 me there's been an accident in my family. And then then we don't want 129 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.839 to bring bad comic to our family. Right, there's been an accent to 130 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.759 a friend of a friend just can't be out of her gate. So all 131 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.279 right, so go ahead, I'm sorry to interrupt. So we were talking 132 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.839 about it every now and then, and then finally last summer, I'm not 133 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.399 running this venture studio, and our job is to create apps and create companies. 134 00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.600 So I said, let me look into this dating thing. So we 135 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.600 did a last summer and we interviewed two hundred and fifty people about dating and 136 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.680 we asked them what they didn't like about dating apps. They told us ten 137 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.839 or a dozen things they hated about dating apps. There's a lot of terrible 138 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.439 things about dating apps, but the two biggest problems was one, people said, 139 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.519 it's just way too much work. You're swiping and swiping, it'sart chatting 140 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.319 with someone you think you're connecting, then they ghost you. They just sort 141 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.199 of disappear. You're talking to ten people at once, you forget who you're 142 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.399 talking to, and it just takes forever to meet someone. And then the 143 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.840 second problem that we heard from women in particular is a met a guy online. 144 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.080 He seemed cool, they go to meet him in person, big letdown. 145 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.799 Either guy was catfishing them, looks nothing like his photos he used, 146 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.799 like his college photos instead of what he looks like now, or the guy 147 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.960 was just a jerk, you know, And we want to solve both those 148 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.200 problems. Okay, So just so you know where I'm coming from, right 149 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.600 when my daughter Firus got onto a dating app. I'm like, only we 150 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.679 had people do that. She goes, no, Mom, this is the 151 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.919 news. It's the majority now right. So but to me at my generation, 152 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.279 like yeah, with all first that like you're on a what Oh my 153 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.639 god, you're such a loser, right, Like this is like can't you 154 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.120 meet a person that's the majority? That's the majority? Right? So but 155 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.039 that was my my brain going, get off that thing, like what if 156 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.120 you meet something they hurt you. Listen, let's hold that offtment. We 157 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.080 go to break I'm Sidy stumbling and listen to WBZ News Radio ten thirty. 158 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:31.440 We Break Back sponsored by floor In Decor, National Lumber, and Village Bank. 159 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:39.559 I'll ever make it through through this world with you.

So those are the two biggest problems we heard. 165 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.039 Way too much work takes too long to actually meet someone in real life, 166 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.960 and then somebody to meet someone's a creep, like you meet someone's a jerk, 167 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.039 and we want to fix both of them more jerks than not jerks in 168 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.200 your eyes. I have to put this app together, I will say, 169 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.519 in my humble opinion single career, yes, like sort of between serious girlfriends 170 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.440 and I'm using the apps. I think most people are pretty nice, really. 171 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.559 I mean I did meet a number of people who catfished me, would 172 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.360 send me like their modeling photos from twenty years ago, exactly what they look 173 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.519 like when I met them at Masters and Seaport or whatever. But most people 174 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.600 are nice people. I mean, we all have our stories, but can 175 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.080 these dating apps like we if we all remember we had the what was that? 176 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.799 We watched it on Lifetime original the Twindler No Tinder Swindler, Right, 177 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.919 I saw that? Yeah? Like crazy crazy? So is there any way 178 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.919 to vet these people before coming on Apple? You really can't. So this 179 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.519 is what we're doing. The first thing is when you install Lola for the 180 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.799 very first time, we say Lola is for people who want to go out 181 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.320 on dates this week, and then we say what night do you want to 182 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.519 go out, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, there's a Friday. 183 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.720 We share the next five nights. There's a little button saying not ready 184 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.639 yet. If you click that, we say Lola for people want to go 185 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.720 out on dates this week and meet in real life. If you just want 186 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.919 to chat, we highly recommend Tinder Bumble. They're great for chatting, which 187 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.720 is sort of a you know saying, the other apps aren't really about meeting 188 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.919 people, they're just about chatting endlessly. The second thing we do is, 189 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.120 let's say you what's your husband saying? Again, right, Ray? Let's 190 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.000 say you match. Let's say you say I'll go out. Well, you're 191 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.399 going up great form fiance The husband go ahead, okay good. Let's say 192 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.440 you say I'll go out on Tuesday night. That's your free night. We 193 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.320 only show you people who are ready to go out Tuesday night. So let's 194 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.840 say you match with Ray, you chat with them in the app, you 195 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.000 make plans to go out Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning, we message you 196 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.919 and we say, did you go out with Ray last night? Yes? 197 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.440 So no, how would you rate your experience one to five? I'm gona 198 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.919 tell you more about this in a second. Then we say which of these 199 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.559 positive and negative actibutes would you associate with Ray? So you're asking both parties 200 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:16.279 yes, and it takes one minute to answer these four questions. He's an 201 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.840 idiot. He didn't look like what he looked like. Let's say if you 202 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.399 rate him a one, we ask whoa what went wrong? And one of 203 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.840 the things you can click is I felt unsafe? Okay? If someone is 204 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.360 marked is unsafe by people who are like good people on the platform lifetime ban 205 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.960 So we're kicking out all the like really bad daters, like the awful people 206 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.320 are going to be as we speak. What downloading this as we speak? 207 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.519 Oh, we're downloading this as we speak. Okay. Now I have a 208 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.480 direct line to Paul if anything ever happens to my daughter. Okay, So 209 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.559 anybody's listening that's on this app, Okay, we'll take good care of her. 210 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.879 Paul's can watch over you. You're going on the the ip liss absolutely 211 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.240 and then these people pay how much a month to be on your app? 212 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.279 Right now? It's free for this year because we're just trying to build an 213 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.039 audience. We're launching in Boston. Most dating apps are around. It's just 214 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.960 going to be for Boston people right now, right now, it's just in 215 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.720 Boston. We're going to launch in New York, batam right, Boston. 216 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.639 Yeah, we're trying to make just get all the kinks out, make sure 217 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.399 it works well, people understand that they like it. We'll launch in New 218 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.440 York and the summer. We'll launch in Miami in the fall, and then 219 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.279 we'll raise around to financing and take it national. And that's the game plan. 220 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.679 Let's plan. And any of these dating software whatever Twindler, what is 221 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.720 it called Bubble or the tender Bumble, Have any of these companies been brought 222 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.759 out. Yeah, there's there's quite a lot of buyout. There's one company 223 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.279 called the Match Group, which is the old match dot com. Yeah, 224 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.759 they own I want to say, at least fifteen or twenty dating companies. 225 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.399 They're buying a lot of them up, Bumble Independent Bumble is wildly successful. 226 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.639 And then the Match Group they own Match, Tinder, Plenty of Fish, 227 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.399 the League which I'm friends with the founder Hinge. I'm friends of the founder. 228 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.320 I was an investor in Hinge, so I'm friends with one of the 229 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.000 tender founders. I have connections in the industry. I have some great advisors 230 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.879 who are telling me watch out for these landmines. So the Timlos Swindler whatever 231 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.960 came out, did that hurt? Did that hurt that app? For a 232 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.039 while. I don't think it did, which is surprising. Yeah, you 233 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.159 would have thought that that would have hurt all the app. It did it, 234 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.600 But that guy we kicked off our app because as soon as someone figures 235 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.279 them out, lifetime ban. Okay, now with these apps or your app, 236 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.759 because I know nothing about these apps, so I'm talking from the dumbest 237 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.720 part of my brain right now. Do you have a VIP section that people 238 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.480 have to pay more money to upgrade? Because I don't know, like they 239 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.159 should be a VIP section. Are you even have a VIP section? We 240 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.480 don't have that yet. But one thing we do have, and Samantha is 241 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.200 now on the list, is we have a friends of Lola. So there's 242 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.480 certain profiles that get like a gold star and when people see that, they're 243 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.360 going to say, whoa, why do you have a gold star? Okay, 244 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.159 And in the short term, you know, maybe that means this is 245 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.840 one of our premium users, and the shortter means you're like you're friends with 246 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.679 the Lola founders. There's certain people were going to highlight and show their profile 247 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.840 more often and show them to high profile people other high profile people. So 248 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.840 that's what you're doing. So basically, like all my verification badges that I 249 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.679 never paid for, that I actually earned on my own, Yeah, now 250 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.799 you can buy them. Yeah, well that's fine. A lot of the 251 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.759 apps they also make you, like even if you post photos, they make 252 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.120 you verify your photos. They make you take a photo of yourself right in 253 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.559 that moment. We do that as well. You do that, yeah, 254 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.799 because we want to make sure that they're not catfishing and sending photos of other 255 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.639 people. Catfishing meals, so catfishing means uh here. So basically, like 256 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.440 if I was on the app and I used your photo and said I was 257 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.120 you, and then you're meeting me thinking it's you, they change their photos. 258 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.279 Yeah, absolutely. And the other thing that happens a lot, and 259 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:10.240 this creeps me out, but men go on dating apps and they upload photos 260 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.360 of women and they say they're a woman. What, yeah, I know 261 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.039 that one. No, it's weird. What do you mean they say, 262 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.200 the woman? I don't know. It's weird, but it happens. And 263 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.200 so what it means is if you're a guy on one of these dating apps 264 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.759 and you're messaging with a woman and kind of falling for it. You might 265 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.039 be messaging a guy, right, what the right? That doesn't happen on 266 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.639 Lola because we do the photo verification. Oh okay, when you upload photos, 267 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.600 we then say, turn on the camera, do a selfie of yourself. 268 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.679 We analyze to make sure it's a real human. You're not holding up 269 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.879 to a photo. This different technology we can make sure you hold up to 270 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:51.759 a face and we make sure that face matches the photos you upload. Got 271 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.000 it, so we get rid of cat fishing, Sammy, you know more 272 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.039 about this stuff than I do. Okay, what do you want to know? 273 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.159 I want you to ask Paul some questions because you know why, like 274 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.720 base it off of love languages. I mean I always ask people with their 275 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.960 love languages, but like why it's not so the term love language was in 276 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.759 use way before that book came out. There's a book called Love Lingue the 277 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.119 Five Love Languages. Yeah, but love language, that phrase has been around 278 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.759 for hundreds of years, and we just think it's you know, what's the 279 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.319 chemistry between two people, Like what's important to what's important to me? And 280 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.640 it's not literally the book. We don't ask you, you know, I 281 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720 like gifts, affirmation, whatever the five are. It's more like we're going 282 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.519 to connect you to someone. And the other thing about going out this week 283 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.599 is we're telling people take a chance. Meet someone online who looks interesting. 284 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.839 Go meet them. That might be the love of your life. And maybe 285 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.599 they don't look maybe they don't exactly what you think you're looking for. Rachel 286 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.160 often tells people that issue was paying more attention. She would have filtered me 287 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.960 out and not met me. We have an age difference, and she says, 288 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.240 I don't know why I'm dating someone so old, but anyway, I 289 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:03.000 clicked it's big. It's twenty years so she's how old about thirty five? 290 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.680 In sixty? No, you're not. I am get out of here in 291 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.119 sixty. He give me a fist bum bro Okay, that's because you have 292 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.759 they would say, because you have a full head of here. Okay, 293 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.920 yeah, that's it his thing. I've got a full head of here. 294 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.599 You never look at your age, No, you don't look you know, 295 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.880 you actually look like you're in your late forties. The best? How's that 296 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.240 word? Sixty? And I'm not I got to say that in a few 297 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.319 more months. I don't know if I can handle that word. That's like, 298 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.000 oh god, Okay, so you and Rachel found each other and you're 299 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:40.160 madly in love and coming from some of my generation, we met through I 300 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.200 don't know, like we all got kind of marry young and we knew everybody 301 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.799 and everybody knew each other, and this is just a different world for me. 302 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.000 Yeah. I mean back in the day, I would meet people through 303 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:56.319 work, through friends at bars. So there's no dating apps. People don't 304 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.160 want to go out the way they used to go out in the eighties and 305 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.039 nineties anymore. They don't want to do that. And after a certain age, 306 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.839 what you're working, you're tired. It's a game of numbers. I 307 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.400 think choosing your mate, your life partner, is the most important decision you'll 308 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.559 make your entire life. That person will determine in many ways. Do you 309 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.319 feel supported love, Do you feel safe? Do you feel safe to innovate, 310 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.759 safe to try things, safe to take risks. Your partner should be 311 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.079 all that for you. Now, why would you choose amongst three people? 312 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.759 It's a game of numbers. You should meet a lot of people, and 313 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.119 maybe it's not the third person you'll meet. It might be the twenty third 314 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.079 person you'll meet, but if you meet some more people, you might just 315 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.400 slash all that thought. We're going to break come city stumbling.

So good night's because we also worked here. 331 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.720 You don't want you don't want mom to show up on the date. Oh, 332 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.519 she won't. She won't even drive the bar. I used to do 333 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.160 that all the time back in the day. But the point is, like 334 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.000 I couldn't find Sammy's fast on her texts, like right, boom boom boom, 335 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.119 you sent her text like last week? So I sent her text, 336 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.680 Hi, Sam, I got a question and we're working on this is a 337 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.240 this is a twenty million dollar land by right, Like, she's not returning 338 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.000 my text right, Like I need to know that, Sam.

Say, I'm like, come to think of it, 341 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:22.839 I haven't spoke to Sam. Say, my son comes in. I haven't 342 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.839 spoke to her. Well where is she?

I'm like, Ray, 345 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.839 I know Sammy, she has a location. Just let me know she's 346 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:40.240 safe. So he goes, I'm not getting involved, So he must know 347 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.119 that she's safe, right, So but I'm still I go, you know, 348 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:45.440 I forget you, right, like if you saw that she was in 349 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.319 the library. I don't know what he thought, commentsman parks somewhere near where 350 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.559 she lives. Right.

But understand why I live 360 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.680 in a real world. I live in. If Chad didn't answer, you, 361 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.640 don't look for him every five seconds. It's not me because I'm respond 362 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.240 like that. No, because your brother a strong thirty year old guy that 363 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.400 can handle himself better than most, and I know, like no one's gonna 364 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.359 grab him. No, all the guy's gonna grab him good luck, and 365 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.720 he's he's his common sense, he's sharp, hes street, he's all that. 366 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.799 Sammy thinks. The world is made of wonderful people. There's no bad 367 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.799 there's no boogeyman. Okay, they're all good people. Right, So different 368 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.480 kids, it's to same parents. But okay, we're going to go back 369 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.400 to the app. But yes, I worry about my children. Go ahead, 370 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.960 you asked Paul the hot question. How do you plan to different each 371 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.279 differentiate this app with all the other dating apps. There's a couple of things. 372 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.319 I mean, the most important things. The city stuff was going to 373 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:23.799 be wanted. The most important thing is we want a great community of daters. 374 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.920 We wanted we want to be able to filter out the bad guys almost 375 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.039 to the point where you can go out bad woman too, and bad women. 376 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.160 Yeah, we're going to becoming very abusive. Have noticed that too? 377 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.759 Do you want them? Answer? Okay, go ahead, sorry, but 378 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.279 we want we want to hooks now. We want to filter the baddies and 379 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.279 almost where you could have dinner with anyone on Lola, male, female, 380 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.319 whatever and have a good time. Because it's a great community people. So 381 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.519 we're doing a lot to market to that. We're doing a lot to curate 382 00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.440 that, and we're doing things to filter out people that aren't good daters. 383 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.400 Okay, well, just because they're a bad data doesn't mean they're a bad 384 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.200 person. Right well, it depends how the If someone gets rated a one 385 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:07.519 star, we ask why they rated a one star. This is the other 386 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.759 thing. If you rate Let's say you got on Ray on that first Tuesday 387 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.559 night on Monday, we ask you to rate him one to five. Right, 388 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.000 I get feedback the positive native feedback includes things like the positive things like 389 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.559 yeah, but what if I'm crazy. Well, we look at how people 390 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.640 rate you, and we look at everyone you rate. If you give every 391 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:33.079 guy, if you give every guy one, the problem's not the guy, 392 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.039 it's right, it's you. The problems you. But when you rate Ray 393 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.480 and I'm sure you would have given him a five, we then show what 394 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.880 are these positive actibuis? I dated Rate in high school, married my husband 395 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.160 Joe, and I got divorced like eighteen years before he did, and then 396 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:53.559 he got divorced like three years before he came into my life. Well not 397 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.400 divorced, but was separated for three years. So I went from Jille to 398 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.480 ray Right, A way to Joe to ray Right, welcome to be in 399 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.400 a cancer But that's me. I need that. I need to know who 400 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.960 you are, like I don't know you all live in a weird alien world 401 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.559 book Well, because there's also a sense of like if if you know them 402 00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.319 too much and you're not interested, then you feel like you're stuck with that 403 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.559 person in your life and maybe you don't want them in your life. What's 404 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.519 that mean? Like if you like, when you're meeting someone in dating app 405 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.559 and like you don't actually know them, say it doesn't work out, no 406 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.559 harm, no foulow, and you don't have to then deal with them. 407 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.519 But no one gets a little psycho and like likes you more, maybe chase 408 00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.640 you a little bit hotter, and you push them away and they don't like 409 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.759 that. They don't like to get I don't really go past one day if 410 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.480 I don't like you, Okay, what happens? You go in two, 411 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.079 three days and they don't like that you're blowing them off? Does that happen? 412 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.480 Paul? I usually tell someone I'm not interested, but a lot of 413 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.319 people do ghost people. But I usually say I'm not interested, And what 414 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.400 if they are still interested? And become like creepy people. I mean that 415 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.559 can happen even you meet somebody in real life. That's true. You got 416 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.960 me on that one. You got to answer. I'm glad you answered that 417 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.000 one is true. Give that. I mean, there could be someone that's 418 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.599 talking me all the time. I have no idea and never met them. 419 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.839 The generation on your app is what ages. The marketing that we're doing initially 420 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.799 in Boston is so it'd be demographics. I'm sorry. The initial demographics that 421 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:21.680 we're marketing to in Boston sort of young professionals, like late twenties and thirties. 422 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.200 However, we have everything from eighteen to I don't know about eighty, 423 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.319 but we have every age on there. The reason we're marketing initially to the 424 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.640 young professionals, it's just so that when they open an app, there'll be 425 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.519 a lot of other people their age that they can match with, which is 426 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.480 smart. Yeah. Plus they know how to use those apps much better than 427 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.240 older people do. Should be toold maybe, yeah, I know I'm tech 428 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.079 no more, but I just hear my phone. Let's I have kids. 429 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.359 I didn't know that's why I had kids that my kids had to fix all 430 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.720 my apps. So you I discovered a new reason to have kids. So 431 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.079 you can have grandkids? Why do we want those? My son and his 432 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.720 wife just had their first child. I'm so in love. I'm so happy. 433 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.000 Really, Oh my god. So do you love the grand children more 434 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.480 than you love your children? Not more, but differently. I'm really enjoying 435 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.200 him, and I'm and I love my son as a father. He's such 436 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.160 a great father. So watching the son that you raised that became us, 437 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.240 Yeah, I don't know what was more magical, this new little being entering 438 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:19.839 into the world. Are seeing my son become a father? Both of them 439 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.759 are pretty amazing. I'm sure it is. Yeah, I still want to 440 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.000 know. Right now, I'm happy. I just want a couple of years 441 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.759 not taking care of anybody. What's my frozen eggs? She frozen ages? 442 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.400 Can we put that on the dating app? I get frozen ache? No, 443 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.519 But there matchmakers they ask you that question. Apparently certain guys will not 444 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.920 date a woman of a certain age unless they know they're ex are frozen. 445 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.720 I never heard of that. Yeah, wow, Wow, that's a private 446 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.839 question. That's a personal question. But okay, hip hop with another question, 447 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:55.920 Sammy Sons, you're the dating app queen what kind of user experiences Lola 448 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.720 aim to provide? And how do you prioritize use, your feedback and satisfication? 449 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.880 Oh my god, I can't talk satisfication yet. Wow, that's a 450 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.680 good question. You dumb that down for me. I don't know how dumb 451 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.599 it down myself. No, I get it. I get it. You 452 00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:12.920 know my career. I'm an engineer, But I can understand the question since 453 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.200 I'm sitting here. What did she just ask you? She asked me about 454 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.039 the use experience, like what does app look like? What does it feel 455 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.359 like to use it? And when I think about the questions like this, 456 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.720 it's it's less about the dating features. It's more like is that fast? 457 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.559 Is it clean? Is it fun? Is it simple? Is it understandable 458 00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.359 the first time you use it? So things like that. And I'm an 459 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.759 engineer by training, but most of my career is managing design like a Kayka 460 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:48.039 manage a design team. And I'm obsessed with branding and with perception and with 461 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.839 how people feel about your product. And if you study and do think, 462 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.039 there's something called usability testing where you bring someone into a lab and watch them 463 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.440 use your product, and you put cameras and you watch you know how they 464 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.240 use your products. You can learn a lot about what works and what doesn't 465 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.240 work. And for example, at Kayak, we used to have this special 466 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.559 monitor that had two little cameras in it and it would lock on the person's 467 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.559 eyeballs to look at where they're looking on the screen. We'd have someone interviewing 468 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.599 that use of being tested, like me or someone on my team. In 469 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.200 the next room, we might have a dozen engineers who watching this user trying 470 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.480 to use Kayak, And on the big screen in the second room, you'd 471 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.920 see whatever page you were on a Kayak. Let's say flight search. You 472 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.559 see that the first or was trip Advisor, the first who was oh, 473 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.279 expeedier in Travelocity with the first tip, the first time Priceline. Those are 474 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.960 the original ones O G. Yeah, and then you came up. We 475 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.160 came out in O four. Because sometimes the first one doesn't do even though 476 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:51.160 it's the first one. Sometimes, like if you take technology like MySpace didn't 477 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.960 make it, but then Facebook came up and smarter than the first mover is 478 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.480 not always the best exactly. Yeah, I'm going to just tell you a 479 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.880 whole that I thought we're going to break ups to be Stumpo and you listen 480 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.640 to WBZ News Radio ten thirty. Here were sponsored by Newbrook Realty Group, 481 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:11.759 Boston Wood Smaller Insurance, World Auto Body and Tasca Drive Auto Body. Question. 482 00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.599 Hey, welcome back to city.

Okay, go ahead, next question, what are your 486 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.640 goals and aspirations for Lola in the coming years. Okay, this is gonna 487 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.799 sound funny, but I would say a year from now, you want to 488 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.160 say, take another three billion. Let's say this some technology conference, maybe 489 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:56.400 south By Southwest in Austin, Texas. If my team goes to south By 490 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.920 and they're wearing their Lola shirts, I wanted to be crowds around them. 491 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.160 I want people to love my team. I want to build a magical, 492 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.400 magical team. I have this thing with each of my companies where I've said 493 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.039 magical teams build magical products, and magical products build magical p and ls. 494 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:15.839 So my first goal with Lola is have like perfection, just this incredibly high 495 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.640 energy team has the mojo. They finish each other's sentences, they laugh at 496 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.559 each other's jokes. They just like love, love working together. The second 497 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.319 thing I want is the best product ever created in the dating industry. So 498 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.640 that seems like what you want for the legacy of Lola. It's kind of 499 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.119 you know, obviously I want to make money too, right, Well, 500 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.880 no, we want to work for free. No, we want if we 501 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:37.599 want to work. If we want to work for free, we'll just go 502 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.839 to get exercise, Like we'll go to the gym, right if we need 503 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.200 any more exercise at our reach, we don't need exercise, right, It's 504 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:48.119 just but this is your high too. But I always say that when you 505 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.599 love what you do, it's really not work, nop, Like, it's 506 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:53.960 not I love what I do.

It works seven days, right, So but 509 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.160 there's those people that, oh, God, Friday's here. Right, So 510 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:09.039 every once in a while I'll say that because I just need like a mental 511 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.440 break for like four hours seven right, then I'm right back at it. 512 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.119 But I think you've loved your whole career what you do? So is it 513 00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.680 really a job when you not? I'm the thing I enjoy every day? 514 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.720 Isn't looking at my bank account I enjoy?

But you know what, okay, you know else is also fun 517 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.920 too. Okay, fun, you can compare notes on the break. But 518 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.720 you know what else is fun is giving away money. Absolutely. I love 519 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.400 to give me money.

Like last 540 00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:00.440 week, I was in Napa Valley with a good friends. He grew up 541 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:01.079 a revere, right, he didn't grow up with any money, right, 542 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:05.000 so he's a hard working guy.

Okay, they are nine people, 544 00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:12.119 three bedroom house, nine people three bedroom houses. Yeah, but I'll tell 545 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:14.559 you something fun happen last week. I was in Napa Valley with a friend 546 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.880 of mine who's wealthy, and we're talking about tippings. We were tipping people 547 00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:22.000 a lot last week. So we're drinking wine, having a good time, 548 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.519 leaving very big tips. And I challenged him and I said, sometime in 549 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.159 the next week, let's find the most amazing wadar and tip them ten thousand 550 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.159 dollars. We haven't done it yet, but I'm going to do it. 551 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:37.320 You know who's done Ernie's Ernie Box done things like that. Ernie does always 552 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.280 does crazy. Yeah, right, But imagine when you do something that you're 553 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.840 changing somebody's life, like you're really making on the dating app. Are you 554 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.280 a good tipper? No? Most people are cheat. Yeah, we do 555 00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.000 have this problem. The first bottom it's for money or the first communion money 556 00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:58.000 and they still have it. Okay, like either you're a generous person who 557 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.119 you're not. I don't think it's something. It's like loyalty. Either you're 558 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.280 loyal or you're not. Either your generously or not. Some people just have 559 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.599 a personality flaw that they just can't be generous. They're just cheat. I 560 00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.480 have way more fun giving way money money, absolutely, and I like making 561 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.440 money. I like both ye me too, Okay, making it and giving. 562 00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:16.880 Ay, that's like there's something about like when you pay tesch to what 563 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.239 somebody wants and you give them a present and you see the reaction that they 564 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.880 notice that you paid attention and made their day. So there's two people, 565 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:29.000 Paul. I don't like gifts. I get very uncomfortable language. No, 566 00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.239 same, don't buy me giving them. And I love giving. You know, 567 00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.159 I send to my kids every Mother's Day, Christmas everything. I need 568 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.719 nothing, just for you guys to be healthy minded, live a nice life, 569 00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:45.840 be good, be happy. That's it, right, And then raygo's 570 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.760 crazy like call on Sammy, what stop? Like just stop? Then you 571 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.000 buy me the gift and I'm so uncomfortable opening it. But then I'll give 572 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:58.360 you twenty and I get excited watching you open them. But I used to 573 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.320 make my kids. I'd say, okay, we're going to go buy toys 574 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:06.199 for children that don't have right, or like I was always selling wrapping paper 575 00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:07.480 and I always got the biggest prize and I was always maybe gave it, 576 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.719 give it away, So she'd get the biggest prize, right for selling the 577 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.679 most wrapping paper, girls go cookies or whatever it was, whatever it was, 578 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:15.800 right, I mean while I'm selling them to all my guys in the 579 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.760 business. Right, And then she win the prize and said, Okay, 580 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.039 you don't need the bicycle. You're going to find something. You're going to 581 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:25.679 give that bicycle. Incredible, right, And she'd be like, first was 582 00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:29.559 like, well, why have to give the bike away? Because you're going 583 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.639 to make a difference in somebody else's life. Because truthfully, you didn't sell 584 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.280 any of that wrapping paper or the cookies. I did it, and now 585 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.159 you are going to do something for somebody else. I just did it for 586 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:43.199 you. And that's how she learns, right, And she'd give up whatever. 587 00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.679 She always got the biggest kid. Yes, that's what you gotta teach 588 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.880 your children. How to be generous, how to be kind. We do 589 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.639 have on the feedback after you've been on a date. One of the things 590 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.280 we asked for constructive feedback is you can rate someone as not nice to waiters. 591 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.400 Oh really, that's a good Yeah, that's a good question because we 592 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:07.039 all should be incredibly nice to our waiters. They work hard, and it's 593 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.599 a job no one wants anymore, right, so you walk the job. 594 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:15.840 Yeah? So okay, all right, so let's let's give me a hypothetic. 595 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.480 Sammy goes on a date on your app. Your app's could be up 596 00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:21.360 and running. When is it up and running? Now? It's up and 597 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.559 running. Now for creating an account and creating a profile. We're gonna start 598 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:30.719 matching in the next I would say two to three weeks. So the algorithm 599 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.800 kind of matches, does this? Yes, we ask you a bunch of 600 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.400 preferences. We ask you are you you know your gender, what gender you 601 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.000 want to date?

Well that would 603 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.599 be no because they're ugly people, and they're good looking people. Sorry, 604 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.440 I hate to say it. I know on Facebook everybody thinks the kids are 605 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.239 so beautiful, But there's some beautiful kids. How can we have so many 606 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:57.000 ugly people walking around America? So no, they should be a good thing. 607 00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.000 I want a good looking guy that looks like, I don't know, 608 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:02.320 raise a co looking guy, but I can't use him.

You've better find a forty year old 625 00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:09.239 thirty five twenty five, No I'm kind of like stuck here because I still 626 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.679 try to understand your world, your brain, how it works, because your 627 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.719 brain is like, did you know you're this smart?

Yeah, and act? One thing, one thing 633 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:42.000 I will say about myself positively is I'm extremely action oriented. A lot of 634 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.000 people talk about ideas and they never do it, and they never do anything. 635 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:46.800 I read one hundred books on how to be successful and don't do a 636 00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:50.719 thing.

You need both? 640 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:04.159 That case, without knowledge, you don't take the action. Without action, 641 00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.400 you don't take you know, we'll actually take the more knowledge gain, the 642 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.440 more knowledge, the more action. But they sit there and read fifty books 643 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:13.599 on how to be successful and no one's successful or they don't get successful because 644 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.320 they didn't take the action.
