Perustin pyöräilyvaatteita valmistavan ornotin vuonna 2013. Mielestäni parasta Shopifessa on se, että voimme harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknistä osaamista. Voimme hallinnoida yrityksen taustajärjestelmiä ja frontendiä sekä myydä verkossa. Vaivatta. Jos Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste, se olisi mielestäni itse polkupyörä. Sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meidän liiketoimintamme hoituu Shopifissa. Alloita ilmainen kokemus. Kokeilu shopify.com-sivustolla
Hey guys, Adam Ray here for the About Last Night podcast. Hope you're having a great week. Looking forward to a great weekend. Today is an ALN classic episode. That's right. We're throwing it back to the old days of the podcast. We had some bangers, some hitters, some legends come through the show. So we thought we'd dig deep and throw it back to some of those insane, hilarious, fun episodes. So enjoy the hell out of this episode. Of course, follow the podcast at ALN Podcast on Instagram and Twitter. At Adam Ray Comedy on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy. Oh, were there s people you guys reached out to for the soup that did uh respond or didn't that you w that surprised you to be honest?
There are some that uh way back when uh when I was just like, Man, just see if Taylor Swift will come on. It w almost with all those when we ask some crazy big name just to see if it would happen, it's been zero. But with Taylor Swift, uh as we had been kind of making fun of all her songs uh about how she's had horrible relationships and she was nineteen at the that point. But uh her people said she was she uh can't come on as if she'd ever been planning. Uh but they were like, But we would like to offer T. tickets to your staff to come see her at the staple center. And I was like, gee, she did not have to do that. Wow. And now uh she will be forever in the uh, you know, positive column in my life. But other people are we wa obviously way less people never even respond.
She could have gone the alternate
route. She could've been like, Fuck you and fuck KP
Or just never well, they they wouldn't know our names. They would just never respond. Maybe she did the reason. Zero response is usually how it goes. Gotcha. Yeah.
Yeah. Uh are there are there any celebrities and now especially that you're doing the show, the Joel McHale show starring with with Joel McHale. With Joel McHale. Joel uh Anthony Michael Hall. I was ho yeah. I was hoping I got that right. Uh were w are there any celebrities that are off limits for you?
Uh well, no. Uh some of them are jailed. Uh sure, sure. But Robert Blake, I'm not a fan. I don't think there's a world where the Kardashians will get permission to come on the show. They won't. Have you asked? Uh we should. I mean 'cause well they're part of the old show. Oh old network I was on, so I don't think they're gonna be big fans of that. Great though. That would
be great. It would
be
great if one of them just broke away the same way that a rogue Kardashian
You could get Rob. Let's face it, you could get Rob.
How did the hosts talk about trying to book big‑name guests like Taylor Swift?
Hey, if Rob wants to come on, is he listening? Sure. How many huge fans listeners do you have besides your immediate fan
four Kardashians? Four four uh four out of the city. Four
Kardashians is worth like sixty thousand pieces.
Yeah. The babies probably have a big Instagram following so far. What do you think about celebrities naming their babies really crazy names?
Uh, I think it's crazy. Um, I think that forever when you grew up with kids in your school that they had the hippie name. Yeah. And you're like, Oh, that's I know a guy, he's my age. And the fur when I met him years ago I was like, I'm Joel and he was like, I'm Arrow and I went, What? And he goes, Hippie Parents. And he just quit and I was like, oh, okay. Well and Rain Wilson had hippie parents, right? Yeah. Yeah. He must have, right? But Rain seems pretty reasonable after you've been here for many years. Like, yeah, people call are called Rain. Yeah. That seems like that actually probably
is a name. The only thing is, 'cause I know two Rains. Uh uh uh uh Rain Wilson and Rain Pryor.
