Yeah, it's billboards, radio ads, TV ads. The billboards were really mocking me and seeing them everywhere, seeing them on Santa Monica Boulevard near the 405. It sort of led me on my spiral where I felt like Gyllenhaal in Zodiac, where it's just like this thing is sort of taking over my life to a degree that it really shouldn't. Es gibt diesen wunderschönen Teil, den Shaq Teil hat.

Er spielt Basketball, trägt eine Kappe und eine Schuhe und es sieht so aus, als würde er Zivilität lieben. Ich meine, es heißt Perseveranz. Er spielt Basketball, als ob er seinen Doktorenabschluss in Basketball bekommen hätte, was er tatsächlich machte.

The reach for these campaigns is so impressive. And I reached out to a friend of mine that worked in advertising actually for Viacom for a long time. He did, you know, TV ad sales. The way he kind of broke it down for me is that like, you know, we talk about the Alex ad running during March Madness. Well, those spots for March Madness could be hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And so he kind of gave me a wide range of what they could be. Like, you know, it's something like late at night could be in the tens of thousands of dollars to a March Madness spot that could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Because the foundation doesn't have some huge operating budget to go out and buy ad times, I was trying to figure out how they're getting these ads auf Billboards oder auf TV.

And I think part of it that frustrated me was that while I understand the messages and it's important to teach people about perseverance or honesty or being truthful or whatever. We are a pro-perseverance podcast. Yes. For the record. It's important. And I'm not saying it isn't. But shouldn't that be going to a foundation that's trying to help people? Get people clean water.
