How do corporate nicknames affect businesses?
I think it means, Jack, on your Tinder profile, you're supposed to say, I'm five foot 10 on earth, but I'm six foot up in space.
That's true. And if the other person swiping is a science nerd, they'll be very turned on by that remark.
I think we just made a few happy couples, Jack. Yetis, you look fantastic over there. Jack-O-Lantern, you're looking great over there, man.
Please don't make this a thing.
Besties, if you are waiting on a line right now, leave us a comment about the line wait economy.
Should we be paying people to wait on line? I've never done it. I'm actually thinking about getting paid to wait in line. As long as we know where to draw the line, Jack. And as long as you remember to bring a book. Leave a comment and remember to give us five stars, a rating and review. That helps grow the show. And Jack and I will see you tomorrow.
And before we go, a happy birthday to Yeti Allie Harrington in Smyrna, Georgia, and a happy National Athletic Training Month to all the wonderful hard-working athletic trainers out there. Thank you, Allie. And a shout-out to the boring business owner, Kevin Erickson, who runs a blanket business, a wool blanket business, called Arcturus. And Ashley Day's also got a boring business to share.
She's running a bookkeeping company and she's crushing it. And Kyle McQueen's sisters, they got a boring business that sounds amazing. They send packages, care packages to the military. And a special shout out to Dylan Steinfeld, a Yeti who picked Duke in his bracket to win it all. And if you want to get a shout out on this show for yourself or anyone else, just fill out the form.
We've got a link in this episode description. And you can get your voice on the pod. Celebrate the wins. Nick and I will see you tomorrow. Can't wait. This is Jack, I own stock of Amazon. And neither of us pick Duke in our brackets.
