@shawngorham The IPO is a cash transfer from retail to the institutions and insiders who got SpaceX off the ground.

@BuiltInBuffalo_ I would love it.

Seeing @KyleBrandt and @PSchrags back on the @espn schedule release show is pure magic! Listen to Peter cackle like an old lady! "I guess I just miss my friend." - Red

@Cryptoboyy_Aji The interest is not "free". The IRS takes their share. Let's say it's 30% state/federal (bracket). That's $630 net or 3.15% on $20k.

@realEstateTrent Or you just feel better having less debt or a paid off house. Sometimes it's not about math or opportunity cost if the result helps you sleep better at night.

@realEstateTrent Sometimes all we need is a shot.

@seandsweeney I used Claude to help restore the floor pan in my old car. It was a huge help.

real estate agents make $2,000 an hour and nobody questions it

heres what they actually do to sell your $400,000 house:

- list it on a website (20 minutes)
- take photos or pay someone to (1 hour)
- copy-paste a description from their last listing (15 minutes)
- schedule viewings you host yourself half the time (2-3 hours)
- forward offers to you via email (5 minutes each)
- sit in the closing meeting (1-2 hours)

12 hours of work

$24,000 commission

a brain surgeon makes $250/hour
a top lawyer makes $500/hour

your estate agent makes $2,000/hour to unlock your front door and forward your emails

"but they bring buyers"

no

the buyer found your house scrolling zillow on their toilet at 11pm

your agent didnt find them

the algorithm did

rightmove brings buyers
redfin brings buyers
zillow brings buyers

your agent brings a lockbox

"but they negotiate a higher price"

they dont

they get you the market price

then subtract 6% from it

you paid someone $24,000 to make you poorer than if youd sold it yourself

"but the paperwork is complicated"

its a PDF

a real estate attorney handles every legal document for $1,000 flat

thats the entire job your agent charges $24,000 for

forwarding a PDF you couldve downloaded yourself

the entire industry runs on one thing:

fear

youre terrified youll make a mistake on the biggest transaction of your life

and theyre trained to weaponise that in the listing appointment

"you dont want to leave money on the table"
"ive seen people lose thousands doing this alone"

fear is their only product

not expertise
not connections
not negotiation

fear

$70 billion a year in commissions built on the idea that youre too stupid to sell something you own

the average agent sells 4-5 houses per year

4 sales × $24,000 = $96,000

for 50 hours of actual work

while you spend 2,000 hours at a desk earning the same amount

next time an agent slides you a 6% contract just remember:

you own the house
the website finds the buyer
a lawyer does the paperwork

the only thing left for the agent to do is collect $24,000 for watching it happen

@RyanTalbotBills I'm loving the vibe of fresh leadership. It's more than "we'll make that one play next year". It now feels like "we are realigning all our efforts everywhere to win the Superbowl".

I spent a lot of 2025 restoring my old high school car, a 1988 Cavalier Z24. Here is a video of the work that went into it. Enjoy!

@horrormuseum I thought I was the only one who barfed after that ride (back in 1997)

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

This is 100% true for me. @JoshAllenQB has brought me more joy than I can possibly measure.

[Deanna King @CynicalMother]

Dear @JoshAllenQB , you didn't let anybody down. In fact, you've given the #billsmafia joy & hope. Our love for this team has only grown since you came to town. My heart breaks more for you. You deserved to go to the Super Bowl. As we like to say, next year is our year and Go Bills. ❤️

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

I love you @JoshAllenQB. I hope you still love us. #BillsMafia @BuffaloBills

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

@realEstateTrent Charles needed a mentor. He found one and did right by him. You had to show greatness for Charles to believe in. Both executed well. Great story!

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

@BillsOnReal Go Bills!

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

I love @PSchrags...love! No one at @espn has been able to match his energy. It seems that Peter hasn't laughed like he did on GMFB. Now, it's Peter going through the motions. I believe something will give.

[Wade Guenther @wadeguenther]

@Will_Schryver You have no idea how much DD time I have spent uncovering these things. But time was not wasted as it was learning how to value an acquisition.
