You know, we made a kind of a promise to each other that if we were going to do, it was called the Julianna Bill Show, and it ran for eight seasons on E! And we said, we're going to use this show for good and not evil. You know, so many of these shows are poisonous, and it's just putting out the wrong thing.

You know, and over the course of the eight seasons, we were able to tackle infertility before anyone was talking about infertility. We were able to talk about Julianna's cancer battle with breast cancer. which raised so much awareness, all of our mission trips to Haiti and the different philanthropic things we did.

So we really used the show as a positive platform, and it was a show you could watch with your kids. And that was something we were proud of. So that was kind of what we did. We were the executive producers of the show. We controlled all the content. And our lives aren't filled with drama. That's just not how we live. We're Midwest people, normal. I'm a regular Chicago guy. Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you, I love the History Channel. I've always been a fan of the History Channel. In the early days, I used to binge watch modern marvels and all their amazing programming. And when this opportunity came along, I knew I wanted to do it. It took me all about 10 seconds to say, where do I need to be? There's so many great episodes this season. The evolution of credit cards.

There was a gentleman who was out to dinner and back in the early days, you had to pay cash or you wrote a check. And this guy was out to dinner with clients. He forgot his checkbook. He didn't have enough cash on him. He was horribly embarrassed. He had to go to the men's room and call his wife and she had to bring him a checkbook.

And he left and he said, I'm never going to let that happen again. And through that embarrassing moment, he created Diners Club Card. And now it's a $6 trillion industry, the credit card business. So I love how innovation really comes from necessity. Nike's another great one. I'm a huge fan of Nike. But the co-founder of Nike, along with Phil Knight, was in this kitchen one day.

His wife was making waffles. And that was how he came up with the sole of the Nike shoe, from a waffle iron. He made the first shoe on a waffle iron. So it's really educational. I watch it with my 11-year-old son. He loves it. He would watch it even if I wasn't on the show. It's a great way to give people the vitamin without them knowing they're taking the vitamin.

Well, the one theme is everyone has failures, right? All these people have failed at something along the way. And we don't learn much from success. We learn a hell of a lot from failure. Again, and that's my theme. The young people coming up today have this absolute fear of failure, right? It's something that they have to overcome. Otherwise, they're not going to grow.

You're going to really stunt your growth. And I look back on my career and I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I don't make them twice. That's a real failure when you make them twice.

Everything Elon Musk is doing, no question. The guy's changing the world. I mean, what he's got going on, the way his brain is wired, he's her modern day Einstein. It's unbelievable what he's going to do with these self-driving taxis and the Tesla, even down to the chip that he's putting in these people's brains.
