There he is. I mean, the GOAT. The GOAT. Dad was an overnight cop, so always overnight radio. So it was always Dr. Demento. Yes. You remember him? And Art Bell. So I kind of grew up with the weird stories. And it just got in the Twilight Zone. We watched as kids. It was, like, required watching from Dad. The old black and whites, the classics. So that was always in there. So I'll skip 20 years.

We had a podcasting studio in L.A. on Sunset. We were doing pretty well, hosting a lot of shows, guys you knew, like when COVID hit, Kill Tony came and worked out of our studio, Jeremiah, Metzger, all the guys. Didn't make any money, but it was a cool setup. But then they locked down the city, impossibly. And we didn't really know what to do. Then they set fire to the city somehow.

And the wife and I are racing down Hollywood Boulevard being chased by people with bats and boxes of Adidas. And we were like, this is too much. And we just started packing. That's it. We got out. And I didn't know what to do. So I'd been working in showbiz. not super successfully like on the cusp, but I've been a professional host, editor, producer, writer for TV. So I was like, YouTube, easy.

I'm a natural. So I started the channel talking about science and weird stuff. And it was the hardest thing I ever did. It was like impossible to do. And I started out like following all the consultants. High energy, smash the like, be a YouTuber, top 10 list. And I did that for a little while. It's like, ah, no one's watching. This feels stupid. And then I just, I said, fuck it.
