My name is Emil Shour, and I'm joined by,   Tom: Tom Schneider,   Michael: and Michael Albaum.   Emil: And today we are going to be continuing our series on tips for finding and vetting different members of your real estate investing team. Today we will be covering the lawyer. Let's hop into it.   Michael: Tom, what is in your hand?   Tom: What?! What are you talking about?   Michael: Looks like you have a tail.   Emil: What is going on?   Michael: Is that a crop for like a horse?   Tom: It's this thing called an Orange Whip. It's it's actually pretty fun.   Emil: I hope you don't use it on your child.   Tom: No, no, no, it's a golf tool that I just kind of hold at my desk, and it has tons of wiggle waggle.   Michael: Mm hmm.   Tom: So when you swing, I'm kind of a gimmick guy like a golf gimmick guy so like is that they buy something you know, like a straight jacket that helps you whatever your swing, I'll buy it. I got this thing recently called. And I'm very pro Orange Whip it. So when you swing back, this orange ball that's has like a ton of wiggle waggle. It makes really good tempo and improves your swing. So you're not coming over the top, you got a nice inside out swing.   I'm funny with golf. I don't play like that often. But when I do, like, I just like, you know, go all out. And so like 10 months of the year, don't really play it. But then two months, like, oh, man, I need this gimmick. I think I figured out and yes,   Michael: I was gonna say I've known you for a couple years and not once have I ever heard you mentioned golf.   Tom: I mean, we must have not talked during that little month sequence that I was really into it. But as a shout out there, Orange Whip. This isn't a paid promotion. But I think if you're in a golf and you want to have good tempo, and strengthen, get an Orange Whip, I'm pro Orange Whip. So that's what's behind me.   Emil: You're gonna love this. So my brother in law started this little it's another gimmick. It's called putt cup.   Tom: I’m in, Ooh.   Emil: So a mug that has a flat brim so you can lay it on the ground and just practice your putts. You know if you'll put mugs on the ground, but it has this flat side to it. So you get a nice roll in there.   Tom: That's beautiful. At first I was thinking oh, there's a hole in the cup. So when you putt it goes in, but that doesn’t make sense.   Michael: Wouldn't be a cup anymore would it? It’d be more of a funnel.   Tom: Where does he sell it on?   Emil: Amazon. You just go look up putt cup.   Tom: I'm in.   Emil: Another gimmick for you.   Michael: Also not a paid promotion.   Tom: Yeah, another amazon.com!   Emil: Have you heard of it?   Tom: Have you heard of it?   Michael: It's a little book company.   Emil: Small boutique retailer.   Tom: Related to Amazon is this thing called fake spot. So an Amazon companies could like spam a bunch of high ratings when they have their product. But there's this thing called fake spot that you I think I posted on that Academy Slack channel that will analyze if the ratings are fake, and it gives a true ratings by looking at and getting rid of the bots. It gives you an honest take. So Orange Whip, fakespot, and Amazon. Those are my three recommendations for today.   Emil: Okay, guys, well, we could be talking about golf and Amazon all day. But people are here for our real estate knowledge, or lack thereof. So let's talk about how you find and vet, a lawyer. We’ll break it down into three parts.
