The part that makes school difficult, especially in college, is that you have people just going to school just to get the degree who don't really know exactly what they're interested in. And they don't even have time to figure that out because they're in a business program or a communications program with no specific interest.
And it is somewhat interesting, the Silk Road and the Great Wall and Terracotta, the soldiers and stuff. But I'm just saying, when I got to college, I signed up for journalism school, right? And I didn't get to take a media class until the second semester. And I had to take everything prior to that. And I'd already spent so much time.

And you're also saying so Wikipedia is not always perfectly right. No, but it's just interesting because like I've said so much in podcasts, but that's what they isolated. And I've gotten that question before, which I understand it's the first thing on my Wikipedia page, but it makes me sound like a super hater. Have you ever seen this Instagram page called Depths of Wikipedia? Oh, it's great.

On a basic level, everybody wants media coverage, right? Everyone likes to be on camera and get exposure for whatever they're doing. And so being a journalist and being almost like a portal for exposure for people allows you to be on the front row of everything that you want to be a part of. You get to be in the front row for history as it's unfolding because everyone wants to be covered.

Who are your influences? I think the early Daily Show was so good. Sacha Baron Cohen, huge influence. I mean, that was like, the Ali G show especially. I think Louis Theroux's broadcasts on BBC were great. I was really into Hunter S. Thompson too, but not really until college.
