Kind of. Yeah. Hopefully without calling each other queer or whatever. I think there is some of that, but actually, in a way, it's less structured than that. Right. The kind of classic Buckley Vidal debate where you're brought in to do like a point counterpoint on CBS News. Yeah, that's kind of given way to more just kind of like organic relationships.

So like the gym bros that I was talking about, they were streamers also. And Hassan will go on their streams and talk about politics. But it's not in a structured like, OK, what do we think about entitlement reform? What do we think about charter schools? Like it's much more like. I don't know, dude, like, don't you think this is bullshit? You really think they're going to do what they say?

You know, it's much more vibe based.

Yeah, they are doing something. So I think the Gavin Newsom show is not the answer. The thing that struck me about the Gavin Newsom show, which he started like while I was reporting this, is not even again the content. It's the vibe. It's like he talks kind of like a McKinsey consultant, like not not like a person. And whereas Tim Walz, I think, talks like a person.

So, you know, you can talk about policy all day long. And I think that we should talk about policy all day long. And I and I agree with the piker critique that policy maybe matters more than messaging in many cases.

But I think when you have someone like Tim Walls, who doesn't always put words in the right order and doesn't always speak in complete paragraphs, that guy would do great on a three hour podcast. And so to me, the whole Monday Morning Quarterback question is not why didn't Kamala go on Rogan is why didn't Tim Walls go on Joe Rogan?

Like, that's the whole point of having that guy on your campaign, it seems to me. So I do think they're going to keep trying stuff and I think they're going to see kind of by market testing it what's working. People are clearly trying to get in position and I don't think they will make the same exact mistakes again.

The question is, are they only fighting the last war or are they going to figure out whatever the parasocial media of 2028 is going to be?
