I don't remember half of that, but I think it's the same thing. When you go to teach someone, your mouth opens and stuff comes out. I'm always taping myself when I go to give a talk. Because that's also the pipe working. Someone else is talking through you sometimes. So the act of sharing, that's why I've always liked to share information because the feedback loop is insane.

Like me, inspiring Daisy DJ to go write. He writes the script in three days, comes back, tells me, now I'm doing that method. And it's like, wow, people come back with their version. And I love telling my kids stuff that I learned that I wish I could tell myself later. but I can't take a time machine. Closest thing is telling your kid because then they can take that information and process it.

So many times they've come back and said, wow, dad, that lesson you taught us about this has really become big in our minds. Yeah, what was that? And they tell me, I'm like, I never told you that. They say, yeah, you told us. Well, I told you maybe 10% of that. All the rest you added. Oh yeah, well, we embellished it. They turned it into something else and it's like, wow, that's so cool.

But yeah, that thing about Reliving, like that was one of my favorite ones. Yeah, my mom turning 75 and not wanting to do anything for her 75th birthday. I said, why not? She goes, the whole family's going to, if you have 10 kids, they're all going to want to do something for your 75th birthday. Nothing can top my 65th. I was like, what are we doing on your 65th? I didn't even remember even.

I'm the one who orchestrated it all. She goes, oh, you flew everyone in from all over the country. You gave me a car. got to have a journal of that. So I'm sure I have video. I go back 10 years. I see what tape I had it on, find the tape, pop the tape in, forgot about all this stuff. So I cut together a 10 minute version of it, showed it at her 75th birthday.

Just watching the old one, everybody was like, oh my God, look how young everybody was. Look how small the nieces and nephew were. She starts bawling as soon as she gets the key, the gift of the key in the video, because she realizes now what it's going to mean that she's going to get this car. And so it's like, wow, let's just play the old tapes. We don't even have to do anything anymore.

We banked so much amazing stuff that we've all forgotten that, you know, my kids just love watching their old home movies today. They hardly remember any of it, but even a VHS to them is virtual reality because compared to our memories, it is virtual reality. They're like leaning into the screen to see what's around the corner and they're remembering the place and the sounds.

And they say, oh, we left the living room. It's like, we're there. It's like, wow. I was always afraid they would see this old footage and go, ah, this is dog shit. What kind of camera was that? This is the limitations of, you know, you put up one of those files on your screen, it's like this big on your laptop now. That's how low res shit was back then. But that didn't matter.
