She just brought it up on our bike ride and I did think it was sweet. Yes, it was the sweetest thing. She got me a card. She had it for like a year, which is so sweet. And she was holding it. The card itself says something like, congrats on your new pad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it has a frog on a lily pad. And she added the lily. She added lily before pad. Yeah, yeah. And it's very cute. And she was explaining it to me on the bike ride. She's like, you know, because her middle name is Lily. I'm like, uh-huh, I know. I say her name several times a week, Lily.
You do indeed. And then Padman is like pads or lily pads. Yeah, she also added man to the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very cute. Very, very sweet girl. Today we have returning doppelganger.

practice, qualifying, and sprints all in one place. Watch every race live only on Apple TV. How are you? I had a hunch you would wear a sweater, so I did too. Good to see you. I haven't seen you guys since. Oh, we can talk about it. I don't want to waste it. But you didn't have a hedge when I was here last. Oh, God, no. We didn't have anything. It was April of 2018, which is crazy. Because don't you feel like we interviewed him much deeper into the show? I think I've only been here once. And we were joking about how it was smart of you to put down the hedges early. Because it was going to be a while. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was a while. I'll bet. You were like, I had the idea. that we would just start the hedges right at the top.
And save, you know, $700. That's another thing. I could have gotten the 10 gallons, the 15, or the 30 gallons. I remember you saying that. You were like, you know what? I'm going to get the smaller ones. ROI. Wow, April, that means two months in. Wait, what year was it? 2018, which is when we started. That's when we started. Which means it was only three months in. Wow. But I think I've registered that whole thing as like, you were going off to do a TV show about podcasting. That's what you were promoting. Was I promoting that? Yes. So the fact that there was already a show being made about podcasting. But it was right at the top of things. It was based on startup. There was a podcast about a guy who was starting up a business and the business happened to be podcasts.
Yes. It's based on a real story. It's the story of Gimlet or one of those. Exactly. Right? Yeah. I can't believe I just remembered. It's a very good memory. Podcasting was sort of new. Yeah. But you were at the forefront. I mean, Marc Maron was before you, right? And Chris Hardwick. Anna Faris. Yep. Anna Faris. And of course, Rogan. There were already some titans. But you really took off. A lot has happened since I saw you. Yeah. A lot has happened. Look at this place. It's so fancy. I know. It was upstairs. There was no curtain on the bathroom door. Do you remember that? Yeah, we didn't have a door. We didn't have a door. It wasn't even the structure. Everyone had to look away if someone peed. That's right. Or step out. We stepped out if we were being respectful.
Okay, so do you have the same fascination as I do with watching us age? Like sincerely. You mean you and me? You and I specifically. I'm monitoring you more than anyone else in the world. I know, but you're really fit. So it's hard on me because I go, wow, that's what I would look like if I was ripped. And I see you sometimes and you're really looking good.
