Uh, [00:16] and it was the most money I've ever been [00:17] offered for anything at that time. And [00:19] uh, given hindsight, I probably would [00:20] have been a bit more careful with who I [00:22] optioned it to, but it's currently in [00:24] someone's possession. And, uh, who knows [00:26] what they're up to. [00:28] >> Who is it? uh a man in uh in the UK who [00:32] uh may or may not be a crypto [00:34] millionaire. I really don't know much [00:36] about him besides he's not the best at [00:38] email, [00:39] >> but you want him to What was his What [00:41] was his intent when he came to you and [00:43] offered you money?

And [01:17] and has there does how long does he got [01:21] the option for? [01:21] >> He has it for I think uh he renewed the [01:23] option because that was in the contract. [01:25] So, he has it for I think two more [01:26] years. So, it's a great story if you're [01:29] you don't have to be a comic to [01:30] understand the story, but it was a [01:32] >> I think if you're a parent, if you're a [01:33] husband, if you're a wife, I think if [01:35] you're a human being, there's a lot in [01:36] that book that will speak to you. [01:38] >> I think it's a good series. [01:39] >> You know what? I do too. I would prefer [01:41] it daily. [01:42] >> Yes. [01:42] >> Yeah. Cuz it's over seven days. It'd be [01:44] perfect. I'm right there with you. [01:45] >> Yeah. Seven episodes. [01:46] >> I bet you have just off the top of your [01:48] head infinitely better ideas than the [01:50] guy who has the option to do whatever. [01:52] >> Just went with the money. [01:53] >> Well, I didn't know anything. Uh it was [01:54] 2020. I'd self-published it. Doug Stanho [01:57] built it up and like, you know, changed [01:58] my life. So, he got it in front of all [02:00] these people and then like, you know, uh [02:02] like uh all the cool people started [02:04] reading it and talking about it. And [02:05] then this guy hit me up and was like, [02:06] "I'll give you 50K for uh 5 years. [02:09] That's $10,000 a year and we'll have [02:12] this movie made within 18 months.

It's not being [02:44] produced. [02:45] >> Well, I don't know if he wants his name [02:46] out there based on some of the things [02:48] that uh I've recently learned about the [02:50] guy. I think he's [02:51] >> Don't say no. No, no. You are now making [02:54] it harder to mention a name. Don't say [02:57] anything defaming or anything.
