Hello, Chad. Hi. What's happening, man? Nothing much. Nice to meet you in person. Yeah, likewise. We were already chatting about how Google is totally listening to me. Right. Confirmed, 100%. Because your Google News feed is always stuff that you're interested in, pretty much. Yep.
But I was having a conversation with my wife about purses, and she was explaining to me that certain purses, like, you can't just buy the purse. You have to develop a relationship with the store owner. I'm like, what?
I don't get that. You think if you're trying to sell stuff, you'd want to sell it right when they came in. Exactly. I don't get it.
But, like, there's a thing that certain, like, posh people really love, and it's exclusivity. Sure. They love it. I'm the only one that can get this watch. I'm the only one that can get this fucking purse or whatever it is. So anyway... All of a sudden, Google starts showing me purse things. They start showing me all this stuff about purses. I didn't look anything up about purses.
I just had a conversation with the phone set at the dinner table. That's crazy. Yeah, it happens all the time.
It's weird. It ends up in your feed. You're like, oh, my forearms are too small. Next thing you know, you've got these flexi deals and the Gorilla Grip deal thingy that spins around.
There's no doubt it happens. There's 100% no doubt it happens. Because that is the only explanation for that showing up. Because generally, it's always the same stuff. Same kind of things that I'm interested in. Stuff that I click on. UFOs. MMA. Some new car. Something. It makes sense. And I'm like, why are they showing me three different articles about purses? The fuck is going on?
You fucking creeps.
