Why Bigger Deals Require Less Money

Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here.
Jill DeWit: Hi.
Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show. I'm Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWitt, broadcasting this week from sunny southern California where everyone seems to play the guitar in public. Have you noticed this?
Jack Butala: That's exactly what happens.
Jill DeWit: It's really kind of funny.
Jack Butala: That's incredibly perceptive.
Jill DeWit: I was somewhere the other day and it was just the oddest space and I'm like, I'm hearing a guitar. It was almost like in a parking lot, like a covered parking lot, I'm hearing a guitar and I don't know quite where it's coming from.
Jack Butala: There's that guy down the street who plays guitar and sings. Not often.
Jill DeWit: Is it the one that sits on the wall?
Jack Butala: No, like right down our street.
Jill DeWit: Oh.
Jack Butala: And I'm like this guy needs to go straight to Hollywood.
Jill DeWit: That guy. Oh.
Jack Butala: I don't know who he is or I don't know what the story. I'm like, this is the greatest stuff I've ever heard, ever.
Jill DeWit: Yeah. He was at our birthday party. We don't see him very often, and I don't think that's his day gig, but boy, is he good. It's just like a hobby and that guy's good.
Jack Butala: This is a funny topic. So, I saw this guy where we have a storage thing. I think the guy lives there, but he's standing outside with just shorts on. He's totally a southern California guy.
Jill DeWit: That's one way to afford living at the beach.
Jack Butala: And he's killing it. He's just ripping the heck out this guitar. He's killing it. Everybody just exudes talent in this town.
Jill DeWit: That's hilarious.
Jack Butala: Except me.
Jill DeWit: Where do you live? U-Stor-It. U-Stor-It Redondo Beach. That's where I live.
Jack Butala: That's how you get a girl. Hey, you want to go back to my storage unit?
Jill DeWit: I got one of those roll-up doors. Those are cool. Those roll-up wall doors, I got one of those.
Jack Butala: Come on back to the storage unit. I'll play you a little song. Pour you a gallon of wine.
Jill DeWit: Exactly. Out of my little mini fridge that I plugged into the ... rewiring the light at the ceiling socket. There we go.
Jack Butala: Jill, you're crazy.
Jill DeWit: The other thing I've noticed, too, about the people that live here and the guitars, when I've lived in other places and you go to a bar and they have live music and there's a guitar playing there, they're not always that good. It's hit and miss. I remember being with you in Scottsdale one time that we actually heard a guy that was really good.
Jack Butala: Yeah, I remember that.
Jill DeWit: Where we ran to our friend who owns a bar and like, "You gotta hire this guy. Have him come in," and he did. He listened to us. It was really good. But that was a one-off. You don't find that very often. But here in southern California, everyone's that good because they were probably a studio musician that retired now. They just do it for fun.
Jack Butala: It's in the water.
Jill DeWit: The talent here is up ten notches. So,
