And to where you are now, where you were like sitting down and talking to some of the most influential people on the face of planet Earth.

No.

I mean, I think if I planned it out like that, it would have never worked.

You would have tried too hard?

Maybe.

I don't know what I would have done.

I mean, I probably would have been more careful, which would have made it less fun, which would have made it less attractive.

You know, I think the two things that I've done that are really important is not pay attention to much online talk about me and just follow my interests and my instincts.

Like I booked the whole thing entirely on instinct.

I look at all the different suggestions that come in and all the different requests to be on the show, and I go, no, me, huh, where's that, huh?

Purely on self-interest?

100%.

I think that's the way.

What do you get per day, like ballpark people trying to get on your show?

I don't even know because I have a really good guy that filters out a lot of them.

I bet it's got to be in the hundreds.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Yeah.

But he filters out a lot of them and it gets down to, you know, like what I he knows me really well.

And so he, you know, sends me like some physicist is working on some new things, some quantum thing, this, that, the other thing, like there's a new person that's.
