No, no, no. Let me whip through this. It'll take literally five seconds.
Yeah, Carlos Slim. And you're like, okay. All right, I'll talk to you later. Bye. But I am on the cover of Forbes this month, which is what I'm here to tell you.
Very busy, and very busy in the financial world. A lot of deals being made. I sure hope so. Just closed a big deal on the way over here. A lot of venture capital stuff. A lot of VC. VC. Yeah, yeah, you and your boys. That's what we call it, because we're so busy making deals, we don't have time to say the full thing. Yeah, you don't have time. ROI. What'd you say? ROI. Time is money.
Time is money. I've been saying that for years. And I love ROI, and I know what it is. And it's a big part of my portfolio. Do you know what EBITDA is? Yeah, dude. I know what EBITDA is. Jesus, Monica, what's going on? Yeah, I know what EBITDA is. Anyways, what else is going on?
I hate saying I don't know. Really? There's a real freedom in it, but I really try to be a smarty pants.
I present like a dumbass, but in reality, I'm self-conscious of that. So I want to be like, I know what that is.
And then when I do, I talk my way out of it and say like, no, actually, I'm still right. And people are like, right.
Yeah. Like a lot of times with our kids, my wife will explain something. I recently learned about kind of how rain works. OK. I just thought it fell from the sky. And then it makes sense that some of the water is evaporating. And so I said it comes from the sky. Well, it also comes from bodies of water and stuff. And I was like, yeah, well, both are right. And it's just like, who cares? Yeah.
31 and 30.
You did. You came over and picked her up. That is true.
Reverse Benjamin Button. Or straight Benjamin Button. Well, Benjamin Button is you're born old and then you're getting younger. Yeah, he's going opposite. Well, you're right. Yeah. By the way, I don't mind being wrong to you. That's a really nice compliment.
Well, it's like we've done a thousand of these and you're never once in a million. Same as you. Eight and 11, then we have a six-year-old.
As wonderful as that is, it is the opposite when the 11 and now even the 8-year-old is like, hey, can you help me do a very simple math problem? And I'm like, I cannot. I literally cannot do it. Like, I could sit here with you and try to pretend, but that's a huge bummer. But when it's history or social studies, government, any of that stuff, I am so excited to talk about it and really to show up.
You want to be valuable to them? Yes. You get older, you're increasingly less and less valuable.
Like, do you recognize the stakes of that? Before I went on Jeopardy, randomly a friend of a friend had won a couple episodes of Jeopardy. And he said to me, my best piece of advice to you is if it's early on, especially, go big on those daily doubles. The odds are you're going to know the answer, and just don't be afraid. Wow. It was against my nature, but I went all in on a couple of them.
I won the first one, and then I went to the next round on that, and then the finals was me versus Patton and Will.
Wow.
That's pretty good. That was what definitely won me that game. I tell my friends who are going on it, I'm like, go all in. I told the great Max Greenfield, I was like, you got to go all in. And afterwards, he's like, I didn't. What? He didn't do it. A little too much. It is scary. Because the thought of losing everything is very real. How many Daily Doubles are in the game?
In the first round of Jeopardy, there's one. In Double Jeopardy, there's two. But in Celebrity Jeopardy, there's three rounds. They're all Daily Doubles. Everything's a Daily Double. And I think I got at least two or three of them in that. Early on, if it's like a category that you know and it's one of the earlier questions, like a $300 question, you're probably going to know it.
If it was astrophysics for $500, I would probably not do it. Math problem is what I was thinking. Yeah. Or osmosis. The whole category is osmosis. I'm screwed. I wouldn't even know. One of the answers would probably be egg. Yeah.
