Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 5:59
Yeah, 100 you think it was a
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 6:02
couple 100, it was a while ago. But I'm saying, you know, is there a lot? But because you're a chicken, he did every episode for a good, good while, yeah, in the off, in their old office studio, and then I but
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 6:15

former guest on the show, former multiple time guest on the show, John Jacobs, you know, he touts that, right? He's had, he's had about eight of them. And, you know, next one's free. I think, I think that's how

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 7:38

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 7:42
I mean, he had to flee to Europe.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 7:44
Maybe he might. I think he's in New York again. I don't know. He's a vagabond.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 7:49
I mean, he makes stuff happen.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 7:51
Look, I look at his his life via social media, and I'm like, Man, that I might be him. I might be wandering if I didn't have kids. Yeah? Like, I think every dad has that fantasy for about five seconds, right? Of like, oh, man, be kind of tight to live in a van or a car or on the street,
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 8:11
yeah, after you close the door to the kids, putting the kids in, you walk around to the driver's side. Oh, fantasy moments.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 8:18
Oh, I mean, as soon as my daughter's yelling about me because she's nervous about something going on. Like, we had to make a big poster for my son, so it's not even her project. And I can feel her like energy change of, like, alpha, oh no. And I had to explain, like, your brother's the lead on this. You said you would help, right? She goes, I want to be the lead. Like, legit, no, like fury. Look, with that, she's gonna be a CEO, dude, like, of psycho fortune 100 CEO. I'm in trouble. Man. It was like, I had to send her in time out. Gonna fire you, bro. I don't want to work for her, that's for sure. No, she still kind of half believes I'm the Thor of Tampa Bay, a lie I made up and said, because she upset me, I made it rain outside so we're I still got a little kid setting the
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 9:11
bar nice and low for yourself. I had to write a like, a what happens when it rains? And they're like, stop making it rain. She's
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 9:18
She does the thing where she's like, You didn't make that happen. I go, Well, no, I can make it happen. I just let the weather be. I have to improv. Oh yeah, you know, it's like singing to your kids in the car. It's kind of just your own fun inside joke, yeah, sure. Like, they kind of hate it, yeah? Oh yeah, you know. And they're like, oh my gosh, turn this down. Go. You got headphones? You know they don't work. Yeah. I'm like, Let's put on some Bonnie Taylor, Tyler, Tyler. And
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 9:52
then you do that to mispronounce it five times, and you can't move on until you find out
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 9:57
Major Dad brain, what's going on? On your world, anything interesting?
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 10:04
Oh, the podcast you were gonna upload that I did solo. I talked about being on the mind podcast with cool I
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 10:13
wouldn't, yeah, so if you're listening right now, previous episode I got in. I uploaded a little too late. I wanted to get it on Monday. It was on Thursday. Little, little behind the scenes. It's Thursday as we're recording this. So how was getting your brain Your mind penetrated? It
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 10:30
was good. It was good. Was
Speaker 3 10:32
he slow? No. Did he take
Unknown Speaker 10:35
it out? First Dental,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 10:38
raw dog, your nog. I
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 10:41
mean, I like, afterwards, I was like, now we have to get him back on so I can ask him questions about what was
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 10:46
happening. So walk us through it. We
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 10:48
got some time. Yeah, it was basically Eric, what's, what's, what's happening.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 10:52
This is Chris King, right, yes, yeah. Great guest. It was couple episodes back. If you want to hear him.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 10:58
Sorry about the audio. We don't know. Yeah, he was just like, what? What's going on? You know, I explained, I'm in a rut. Normally, I'm pretty self motivated. And, I mean, we just went through what's been going on with me for the last two years or so, as
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 11:19
we're recording his Episode You're a guest on is not up yet, right? Okay,
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 11:24
yeah. So basically it came down to figuring out why I'm not motivated, and the the end result was basically him figuring out that
Speaker 4 11:43
I don't like but basically it was like, What do I want to do? Like, you know? And I was like, I want to make people laugh for a living, yeah. So the reason why I'm not doing that is because in the past, I've seen it as something, for me, like, as something like, interesting. So, like, I just put it aside. But then he explained that
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 12:09
I'm waiting on this thing while this thing is waiting on me. I thought that was a nice little line.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 12:17
It's always great when you can turn a phrase, and you just flip it around and you sound so wise. Yeah, basketball is not shooting. You're shooting the best, huh? Whoa, dude.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 12:33
So, yeah, it was about just how I'm not I'm not doing it for the right reasons. I'm doing it because I owe the universe to do this thing, because it's like it's been there for a long time. We went back in my childhood, we talked about how, you know, I would watch comedians doing stand up like that,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 12:53
funny. Thank you. That's another part that is, yeah, vital to this. Yes, that's true. You don't have delusions of grandeur, right? Right there. That's a lot of comedy, yeah, in the beginning, at least, yeah.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 13:05
So he ended it sort of saying, like, I'm going to put the fear of God into you, because for him, he he paralleled his own life and said, You know, I had to have everything taken from me before I was, like, fully woken up to what I need to do. I was like, Man, I feel like, all that track sort of, you know, like, okay, you know, so it was good.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 13:33
Dark Night rises,
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 13:34
yeah,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 13:35
that's why that movie rips. Once
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 13:37
school gets out, man, I'm gonna get some energy, yeah,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 13:41
and agencies getting a lot of work, getting ready for you to come back into the mold, come back in there. Because, like you said a while ago, just kind of flippantly, we're just kind of doing this so we could around and do sketches and stand up and write all that, you know,
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 13:59
after ultimately, we have the same paying bills and, yeah, we have the same ideas and what
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 14:04
we should do and being aloof to our kids after
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 14:07
that, that's not true. I
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 14:09
wish I could be aloof, dad. I don't have that ability like I hear. I can't turn it off if they, if they say, I wish I could just zone out every dad.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 14:18
I know we'll be calling you aloof before you know it. Oh,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 14:21
they think I'm aloof. I put my headphones in, don't get me wrong, but I'll be like, what I can't, not but if I don't have them in, I can't, I still have to, like, I can't, just do like every dad I've ever seen in my life, and just not hear it at all.
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 14:38
I know, you know, yeah, well, I'm past that part. I'm all ready to feel like middle schooler,
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 14:44
you got that, but you had that skill. I've seen it. Yes, thank you. No, no, bad. I
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 14:51
don't talk to Avery now is like your dog. I knock, I knock on the door. It's closed, obviously. Uh. And she's like, What do you want? Yeah, that's me, not anything. But she's just like, okay, just matter of fact, right? Just like, Okay.
Law Smith Comedian Fractional CMO 15:07
Does that catch you off guard? You're
Speaker 1 15:09
like, no, like, Okay, well, yep, everything looks good here. Check light bulbs. Door looks level, okay. Well, I'll talk to you later. Yeah,
Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media 15:20
it's like, okay, no, it's good that you like that says all that was what I could do there.
