Entrepreneurship Uncensored Podcast

James Dooley: So, we've got a question from the SEO community that's asked us both. What is your most embarrassing story that you're able to share on the podcast about marketing or just they just said, "What is your most embarrassing story that you have?"

Craig: Oh, man. Um,

James Dooley: it's a good one that is it?

Craig: It is. I mean, I've been in a lot of embarrassing situations. Um, try to think one that I'm not going to get hell for or get anyone into trouble for. Most embarrassing story. Do

James Dooley: you want me Do you want me to do mine?

Craig: Yeah, you do yours first.

James Dooley: So, I did this actually. I said it in If anyone's ever watched, I'm sure you haven't, but if you ever did watch my wedding speech, um, I say it in there. So, just every Friday and Saturday night on the lash, have a good night out. And then on a Sunday it was like just chill time with the who I'm now married to, my wife. Um but at times she was just my misses. And um I'm chilled there and like we used to just chill, maybe watch a film and then we'd go to the the gym. Um and when I say go to the gym, we just go steam rooming for a swim in Jacuzzi as well and stuff. So we're driving to the gym and she says, "Right, whatever you do, don't get me wet. I don't want to get my hair wet." So I'm putting my hair up. Do I I'm not washing my hair tonight. I don't want to get me I won't get you out. I'm telling you I won't. So anyway gets in there, goes into the steam room. 10 minutes in steam room something like that. Gets out swimming pools there. I seen Carrie my wife just turned around swimming the swimming pool. She starts swimming away from me. Seen a air like bob back of the head. I'm going to get her here. So I goes in jumps in swimming pool starts swimming on the water to go underneath her. starts looking up and I seen her legs like she's like swimming her arms are going out her legs going out and I I cup the pony I like came went underneath cup the pony and I thought I'll pull her back towards me so I cuped underneath went to pull her back and then I'm under water so I'm like as I pulled her back as Carrie turned around it wasn't Kerry I was like you and my face just dropped and but I proper like grabbed underneath and I was like the do I do here? So I literally just like looked at her and just swam past her. I didn't know what to say and I was like and about 2 minutes later Carrie comes into the pool with a ro with all the thing. I'm like you're not going to believe what's just happened. So I start telling Carrie the story now. Luckily, the girl who's swimming back looked across seeing I was with my misses and she went like looked over, smiled a little bit and were like, "Oh,

Craig: I I get what's happening here."

James Dooley: But oh my god, that that moment I can it just felt like it was 20 seconds. It probably only been two seconds. It felt like 20 seconds where as she came up, I was like, "What have I just done?" So yeah, that's my most embarrassing story. Anyway,

Craig: I mean that's going that's going to be anything I can say. Um, this is not hugely embarrassing. Uh, I don't want to say some of the embarrassing ones because I've been in some dodgy situations, but I had a guy that I bumped into at a conference um, couple of year ago and he came up to me. He's like, "How you doing, Craig?" And I'm like, "I'm good. I'm good." And uh, I have a clue who he was. So he could obviously see that in my reaction like I'm good. How are you? Blah blah blah. And he's like, "You don't remember me, do you?" And I'm like, "Nope." And and he's like, "I'll give you a clue." Says, "You were you were on my podcast." And I'm I'm I'm looking up going, "Nah, I'm sorry, man. Don't know." See, I'll give you another clue. I've been on your podcast and I'm like, I've still no clue who you are, man. I just I was just I'm sorry I'm out, man. I don't know who I don't even know who I spoke to yesterday, let alone whatever. And I felt like a

James Dooley: Do you know that? Do you now know who he was? Did he explain

Craig: when he said who he was? I'm like,

James Dooley: ah, right. I remember. And the guy, you might even know him, guy called Richard Hill. He's a big tall guy. I always thought when I'd done the podcast with Richard that he was a small guy and his hair was a bit longer and all that but I'm like But I still had no clue that he'd been in mine and I'd been in his and I'm pretty bad for that. You know, it's not the most embarrassing, but I felt like a piece of going

Craig: you're a scatterbrain. And it also happened to me in Shanghai just there. H you know this guy Garinda Ginder, right? So Garinda comes up to me, similar story. And he says, "How you doing, Craig?" And I'm like, "Good." And it's similar vague thing. You know, I've been to India and all that speaking. I see a lot of guys that look like that. H And he's You don't remember me, do you? They're like, "No." And he's like, "I'm Garinda." And I'm like, "Yeah, good to meet you, Garinda." H I'm like, "Were you you at that Indian SEO conference a few months back?" He's like, "Nah, didn't make that one." And he says, "You don't remember me again. You don't remember me, do you? I'm like, no. They went you were on my podcast last week. I'm looking I'm going was like Ginda.

James Dooley: The best the best story about this is that for Craig who's explaining Ginda. It's called Gundep. But you made up his name who's been Ginda.

Craig: No, I'll tell you why. Can I tell you why?

James Dooley: There was a web designer that Kasra had called Gind and Gert. So we would get the two of them mixed up. Um, so Gund was the web designer and Garinda was the

Craig: podcast name.

James Dooley: I don't know. I think yours was Gundi. Gundy and you keep calling him Ginda. And then he kept coming over to me saying, why does Greg keep calling me Ginda when my name's Gundy? I'm like, I don't know. That's bang out of all. And then I'd go to you saying, but I'm going to you saying, yeah, it's called Grinda. Yeah, it's called Grind. Yeah. And he kept trying to correct you that it's Gundi. But you kept going, yeah, Grinda. That's what I'm saying. So, these are pretty embarrassing moments here. Like, I was on it last week and I I don't know if it's age or what's happening, man. I'm just like I don't know who anybody is anymore. So, yeah, that's pretty embarrassing from a

Craig: Yeah.

James Dooley: from that in defense to you there like you there's so many people that come at these events. There's so many people that come over to you speaking to you. It's hard to

Craig: But I'm going to flip this. I'm going to flip this because me and Casra had this very conversation the other day and he said you had a similar experience recently where the person's like what was it he said again some some guy come up to you about Scott right so yeah this is this is pretty embarrassing so I was on mist I'm at the airport going to Vegas

James Dooley: no not that one so I've heard that one

Craig: there was another one where a guy come up to you like how you doing we're at this party and all that two I had two bad ones so one of them was um went to David Lord. So goes in there. This guy is showing me all around David Lord and I had no clue who he was. He knew everything about me. He knew more about me than I knew about me. So I'm asking questions about me that I didn't even know about me. So I'm like, "How the does this guy know anything about me?" And anyway, yeah, don't worry, mate. I'll give you 50% off friends and family. Like, oh yeah, yeah, I work somewhere. I'm like 50% off friends and family. So I buzzing with that one. The worst one. I went to the gym and some girl came over to me and says, "Hi, James. How you doing? You all right?" I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. You don't know who I am, do you?" I'm like, "No." She went, "I'm your cousin." Oh, for sake.

James Dooley: I'm like, but she was like, I've not seen her since she was 15 and she was 18 and she'd grown up so much more. But I've not seen her for a few years, but like I felt this bit casually like, "She's not your cousin." I'm like, "No, she is my cousin. And like when it gets like ah yeah it's bad. The Scot one Scott one

Craig: the Scott the Scott one was pretty embarrassing though for him more than like but like so I met I'm on I'm on my stag do I'm at the airport and he says Scott have you ever been in Vegas and he went yeah last year with you we went for two weeks and I stayed in a room with you and I was like oh yeah Scott then that first night felt like he had to go overkill on being I'm not I'm not a boring bastard to try and make because everybody else must have thought hell you went for two weeks with Scott stayed in the same room as him and he forgot that he'd been to Vegas. So that's another pretty embarrassing.

James Dooley: Yeah. Star that that that stuff embarrassed me man. I'm like it's but yeah we were talking about that the other day with Cas. I'm like he's as bad as me but I do that all the time. There's no idea who I've went with where. I don't even know what lies I've told to people. I we've done the the old day,

Craig: mate. Tell you tell the story about Kazra's boss. Yeah. Old boss.

James Dooley: Um six months prior to to Doula becoming Kasra's boss. Uh we were in Shanghai 2018 and uh uh Kaja's boss and another guy Tom Livingston came to stay in my villa for a few days and we're just talking shite. We're in the pool. We're all drinking and all that stuff and big Dan Stanton was there. Big musly guy. Lovely guy, by the way. But he looks like a drug lord's henchman. He just looks like that, right? And they're like, "So, you know, I can't remember who's this guy with Duly or whatever." Dance name came up. They're like, "Yeah, that's Douly's henchman." And I like, "What?" And they're like, "What does Douly do?" I went drug lords. And like, well, really? Like, what's all this SEO That's just a front for the drug lord and all that. See, he's got his henchmen. In case there's any trouble out here, Big Dan will sort him out. Anyway, I'm just talking I've had a few beers talking Now, someone else then creates another conversation about something else. And I've completely forgot. I've told that lie. And then, you know, six months later, Casual comes up to Liverpool for that meetup. You hire him and Kasa goes back down the road to his boss going, "I'm going to work for Douly now." He's like, "Oh, no, dude. You can't can't go work for him. Why not? It's a drug lord. Craig told me. And I'm like, "Oh, shit." So, I'm like, "Oh, I forgot to tell them I was lying." And I do that regularly. Forget tell people a lie. They forget that I was only gaslighting.

Craig: I'm just worried about what other stories you told everyone about.

James Dooley: I've told so many stories. Uh, I've told you. Have we got time? Two minutes. Have I ever told you a story? I have you have heard that I don't know if it's cool to see in the podcast so we can cut it out if you don't want it going to Shanghai like what happened and all that stuff and I'm like you never believe what douly done says he came out of this nightclub that night we were all falling about in the dance floor and all that stuff everyone was and says I came out and we'll get into a tuk tuk now this is all kind of true but I kind of made up a bit of it as well so I'm getting pulled into the tuk tuk and people are all hanging off the bucket and all that and I added this bit in so I looked over and I seen douly lying in the back a tuk tuk getting sucked off his lady boy. Um and uh so the lady boy sucking them off. I says so everyone's jumped into this tuk tuk and I'm falling asleep and all that. I said while we're driving away I looked over and I seen my eyes were hazy and I says and I seen the switch. I see Duly was sucking up the lady boy. Dude, the amount of people went, "You're kidding." And and then I go on to tell

Craig: people come up to me about, "Have you had some experiences with Ladyb" But I'm like, "No, mate. Right. Are you sure?" I'm like, "Yeah, I'm absolutely sure." And now now I know where he has come from.

James Dooley: But I'm like, and they're like, "What?" And I'm like, "That must make him bisexual, right?" And they're like, "Yeah, absolutely." And I'm like, "But he's got a misses kids and all that." And they're like, "He's a dirty dog." I went, "Yeah." And I I said I told them I've even added another bit on it when I'm telling that story. I say to people now I've asked them my question mark. I'm like are you bisexual? You're like that doesn't count and it's a lady boy. And I'm like so I've told those stories and this is our first time exclusive that it may have not been true. But he throws me under the bus as well. So it.
