I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.
Well, folks, if you're going to spend money on something, it might as well be something you actually like. That's what I always say. That's where the club random merch store comes in. That's right. Get yourself a cozy hoodie. Look at this. This is really well designed. That's right, get yourself a cozy hoodie to snuggle away your sorrows or some new Club Random shirts. Look at all this shit I have. To attract a partner with similar interests and live happily ever after. I've seen crazier rom-coms, so head over to clubrandom.com and bring home some random.
I had no idea.
Oh, that's right, they don't get media.
We didn't get that at Knoxville.
Don't trust. Don't trust. I've never trusted. What are you talking about?
Oh, my gosh. It's Brad Pitt's brother. How you doing, man? That's a funny song. Good to see you. That's a funny song, by the way. It was a true story. What? Other than Brad Pitt's brother. Sounds like it was many stories.
Yeah, it was. Many days in your life. Well, that was actually about... Me and my friend Brett James wrote that song. Because when you're single, Christmas is a weird time. So I called my buddy Brett James, and he was a great songwriter. I said, what are you doing the day after Christmas? Because he had a family and everything. So we went down to my house in the Virgin Islands and stayed out all night. And literally, I woke up around 2.30 in the afternoon. And Brett was out there playing guitar, and he had this riff started. And it was that riff. And basically, that song was written about our night before. You were out all night. We were out all night. That's the riff part. That was back in the day.
It's funny you say that because this very room, I used to have a party Christmas night. Christmas day, but night. It was very popular. Everybody's doing something in the day they don't really want to do. Relatives, family, kids around. Even as a kid, I sort of had enough by the end of it. It wasn't like Halloween where you're stuffed with candy until you're bouncing off the walls from the sugar rush. You were just kind of like... So you guys were into Christmas or not? Totally, of course. Yeah, our family really was too. Yeah, we're Americans, we're into Christmas. Yeah, no, don't fucking, and of course kids, you're getting presents, of course we're fucking into Christmas. But like, when you're an adult,
I used to go when my father was alive, I used to go back to New Jersey and see my family at Christmas. Then years later and then my mother was gone. I would see my sister but not at Christmas time because neither of us really cared when we were older, we were both atheists at this point. But we had great memories of it. But I would have a party Christmas night. This was the party house, always has been. And boy, did people love it. They were so ready for- I bet they came early too.
