And in my perspective, I see a mirror over there and there's an award and I see some things behind you.
I see two cameras over your shoulder.
I see that.
There's a wooden beam over there behind you, by the way.
And there's like some green tape above there.

your perception is all this shit.
Like I couldn't see any of this stuff behind me.
And he said like, as a spy, they train you to sit in the other person's perception because if you can't do that, you're never going to be able to persuade them.
Like you have to realize that actually you sat in front of me, have a different brain.
I asked my assistant Sophie to find me a reliable security system for my new place in LA.
What she discovered is that most available options have the same issue.
They're reactive and only take action after someone has broken into your house.
SimpliSafe, who sponsors this show, has a completely different approach.
If someone's lurking near your home or office,
their AI-powered cameras detect them, then human agents who act like a remote security guard take action, speaking directly to the intruder, letting them know they're being watched on camera, and if necessary, triggering a siren or spotlight to scare them off.
Or they can call 911 for police dispatch.
This immediate response is why I went with SimpliSafe.
No one else approaches security in the same way.
They have no long-term contracts or hidden fees, so you can cancel at any time.
