Why Satellite Internet Providers Tell us Where to Send Mail (LA 1584)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Butala:

Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill Dewitt, broadcasting from The Valley of the Sun. You like that?

Steven Butala:

I like it. Today, Jill and I talk about why satellite internet providers are continuously telling us where to send mail. This is a good thing.

Jill DeWit:

I wrote down a different reason as to why we care about this. And I'll share that when we get into the meat of the show, but I got to tell you, I was struggling, "Do I say Scottsdale? Do I say Phoenix? Where do I say we are?" And I forgot that this was always called The Valley of the Sun. Isn't that interesting?

Steven Butala:

I think there's more than one Valley of the Sun. Everybody thinks they're The Valley of the Sun.

Jill DeWit:

When you Google Valley of the Sun, though, Phoenix comes up.

Steven Butala:

Really?

Jill DeWit:

I made sure. I'm like, seriously.

Steven Butala:

Do you Google stuff, Jill?

Jill DeWit:

All the time. I Google you. I Google... I'm just kidding. Of course.

Steven Butala:

I read recently that Google, as a product, it is the single most used product for a consumer in the history of all products.

Jill DeWit:

Really? What did you say Google was supposed to be? Remember you said that-

Steven Butala:

It's misspelled. It's supposed to be G-O-O G-E-L. And it's some type of cipher God. It's some type of scientific something.

Jill DeWit:

Really G-E-L and then-

Steven Butala:

Scientific measurement or something.

Jill DeWit:

But it didn't look right. Somebody just like-

Steven Butala:

They misspelled it right from the beginning and it just stuck, which is probably kind of cool because now it's obviously an incredible brand.

Jill DeWit:

It's a verb. It's a noun. It's all kinds of things. Okay.

Steven Butala:

Before we get into it, though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land Investors.com online community. It's free and don't forget to subscribe on The Land Academy YouTube channel and comment on the shows that you like. You don't have to comment on the shows that you hate. If you comment on the shows that you like, then we do more content about stuff you like.

Jill DeWit:

That's really good. The shows you love, please just go for it.

Steven Butala:

All kidding aside, it really does help us develop an algorithm to create content that people want to hear about. Like, maybe you're not interested in hearing me rant about California.

Jill DeWit:

Or this show at all. That's so funny. I couldn't tell you the day... Since now we're off topic... We're on Clubhouse [crosstalk 00:02:32]. So, we're on Clubhouse the other day and there was that guy... I can't tell if he was trying to break into our show.

Steven Butala:

Yeah. He totally was.

Jill DeWit:

Oh, was he? Okay. Or if he was like yelling at somebody on the street.

Steven Butala:

No, no. I think he was breaking in. He broke into our show.

Jill DeWit:

And just was cussing.

Steven Butala:

This is the world now.

Jill DeWit:

That was funny. So, my team got him off there, to quote you, "Lickedy split."

Steven Butala:

I just read a thing about this whole thing about the internet culture, how it's developing. I'm old enough to know when there was no internet at all. And so...

Jill DeWit:

You're older than me.

Steven Butala:

Right. And my parents would say stuff like, "Keep your opinions to yourself." That was just the world that I grew up in. And that's just not the way it is now. Everybody's really encouraged to have an opinion and be real loud about it with filthy language and everything. That's just like a norm. That's a normal state of the internet.

Jill DeWit:

I don't get it.

Steven Butala:

I don't either.

Jill DeWit:

Anyway, let's get back to the show. Ty wrote, "Anyone else getting first mailer jitters?" Oh,
