00:00:00 Kevin
I don't know why this popped in my head, but do you guys remember playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City?
00:00:08 Kevin
I want to say it came out.
00:00:11 Kevin
I was probably a freshman in high school.
00:00:14 Kevin
I'm dating myself now, right?
00:00:15 Kevin
So Grand Theft Auto 3 was out for a while, since like '99.
00:00:20 Kevin
I want to say it was a couple years later.
00:00:22 Kevin
Vice City came out.
00:00:22 Kevin
The great late Ray Liotta.
00:00:25 Kevin
was a voice actor in it.
00:00:26 Kevin
You know, it was just a, I don't know, something about it.
00:00:28 Kevin
And maybe it was my upbringing, maybe it was my parents had small businesses, you know, had a small business and such like that, that I got into it.
00:00:37 Kevin
But something really like sparked for me by playing that game.
00:00:41 Kevin
Something that just, I don't know, there's something about it, right?
00:00:46 Kevin
Like something
00:00:47 Kevin
Something that sparked that just said, you know, Hey, you get to invest and buy into a business.
00:00:53 Kevin
And it was a side quest of that game.
00:00:55 Kevin
And then later on, they added it in their Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, right, where you actually had to complete missions, play a role in your investment into these properties.
00:01:05 Kevin
And at which point, as you completed it, it became an income generator.
00:01:10 Kevin
And I don't know why, but like...
00:01:13 Kevin
There's something in my brain that just kind of clicked today.
00:01:16 Kevin
I was doing something and it just was like, boom.
00:01:21 Kevin
I was like, you know what?
00:01:22 Kevin
I really enjoyed that.
00:01:23 Kevin
I don't know.
00:01:23 Kevin
There's just something about checking off a box, completing a mission, right?
00:01:28 Kevin
Like it's, maybe it's just a guy thing, but you know, and then all of a sudden it was like, hey, I completed this mission for my business and now my business is generating that much more money, you know, or et cetera.
00:01:40 Kevin
And, you know,
00:01:42 Kevin
It was one of those things.
00:01:43 Kevin
It just, it popped into my head and I figured I'd share it with you.
00:01:45 Kevin
Not that this was a, you know, great, awesome podcast, but you know, it's, it's, it's something and I promised you something.
00:01:54 Kevin
So there you go, gang.
00:01:56 Kevin
