Night of the first debate, which we didn't know was going to be like the most consequential night of 2024, but whatever. I was like, let's just get everybody in the thing. We'll do the old fashioned thing. You guys can live tweet it and we'll make the front page of the paper again. And I had called my friend Josh Crutchmer, who designs a one of the New York Times.

And I was like, can you just help us put this together like on short notice? He was like, absolutely love to. And so we got we got everybody prepared for that night. And I was like, the best headlines we come up with that night, we'll put them in. We'll put them in a old fashioned, you know, onion front page and we'll put it out at the end of the debate. And then that fucking the world collapsed.

They were just on the ball. They were it was like being in a room of comedy writers for that night was one of the most special nights of my life, I have to admit. And by the end of the night, we had like eight banger headlines. I think the top head was that report nuclear war sounds fucking amazing right now. It's really good. It was a good head. And that's because we all felt that way.

I think the whole country felt that way. We made this front page, put it on Instagram, Twitter, and all these other places. And it got like, I don't know, what, over 100,000 likes on Instagram in like a couple hours. It was crazy. The response was crazy. And everyone was like... Man, I just I miss print. I miss print newspapers. I just miss this physical thing.

That's when I knew this isn't just going to be like a collectible memorabilia thing. Like we're on. This is a moment like we're on to something. Jordan LaFleur, our executive editor, was like, it's like vinyl for Taylor Swift fans or something like that. But it's also like a little bit more than that. Like you get to sit with this thing.

The internet's such garbage and you just, I find myself walking by these stacks and just getting distracted for 15 minutes. You know this, I'm the most like terminally online person there is. And I pick up this thing, I'm just like reading like the dumbest little jokes from like 25 years ago on this thing. There's something magical about it.

We did an offsite, Danielle and me and Lila and Jeff and Chad, our energy from Jordan. And we went to like some place in Michigan and Scott, yep. And we just like threw the old papers around, like a bunch of archive papers around. Daniel did it all around this house. And constantly in like the downtime, you would just find yourself just like flipping through it. It's like the old days.

Because on the next page, it's not like the New York Times or the Post or something. It's just like you're going to read some morose, awful thing on the next page. The next page, there's like eight more jokes. There's something just very nice about that. I don't know if this is perfect for every media company. I don't know. I'm not going to say that.
