We've experienced so fucking much. And there are still parts of you that just make me want to get better. And for Adam, it was the relentless commitment to his health and fitness. And I just, I couldn't help but think, God, I really got to get my life right.

Cause I, and as a dude, you're just like, whatever you're, the culture's put some dirt on it and you're fine. And like, that's how I lived for 40 years. And, and that was the wake up call. And I feel like I owe it to him. And so when I get up in the morning and you know, I'm like, okay, drag my ass to the gym. I'm like, come on, show up, keep going, man. Like do it for Adam.

It's a thing where like,

It's a thing where like,

now it puts a framing on all the times we get together because we know at some point it'll be the last one that someone is going to be there could be us and and so again we're not i mean look we're still doing the same dumb like we were at a brewery in baltimore last time like it's not we're not that sophisticated about it but i'll tell you what though we've gotten a lot smarter as we've gotten older i think we have gotten a lot better

telling one another actually how we feel which is again this is a nuts thing for if you talk to my 20 year old self like would you imagine yourself having like thoughtful conversations about like life with your with your guys and the answer would have been no of course not like we're talking about football or video games or girls

but but that's been a nice part of getting older is now there's more depth to this relationship like we have true true trust and intimacy and we have this feeling like I can I can literally tell this person everything because he's seen me at my best and my worst and like this is my boy right and that unlock gives me something that powers me up for however long it is until I see them again.

And when I think about what is missing right now, I think about all of the young men who don't have great role models and can now access any role model they want, but they are going to default to the junk food And that's not a judgment. It's the same reason I really want to pick up the Snickers, right, instead of whatever the better choice is.

There's an intellectual version of that junk food that exists, which is not nourishing. It's not actually helping you grow. And it's trying to fill a void. You have a hunger for this thing. And I think men in particular, the shadow of all of the emphasis being put on women is that so little attention has been put on our young men.

And I would love to see not attention taken away, but more attention found to be placed on talking about young men, supporting young men, because... And there have been, I was a, so I was briefly a Kiva fellow. So I volunteered for Kiva when I left Reddit the first time. So I was in Armenia working with entrepreneurs and it was amazing.
