I mean, to your point, it was a little bit of me looking around at podcasting and podcasters and seeing this kind of trend of chasing what I see as younger opinions.

Now, I understand this.

Your livelihood depends on

views and it is an attention economy and the older people are going to age out and there's a giant number of young people who are radicalized by these algorithms and it's easy to understand why this would happen but it also came across as that meme where it was like how do you do fellow kids you know these older hosts and

Where they're like, look how based and cool I am.

Like, see, I'm saying those crazy things that kids are all about.

And I don't know.

It just came across as...

It's embarrassing to me.

And I realize it was very Gen X of me to say, I don't care.

But it did feel, and saying, you know, like, get off.

It's a very almost older, like, get off my lawn.

Yeah.

It does.

I get why people reacted strongly to it.

And they're going to tell me that I'm going to be irrelevant.

And, you know, they make comparisons to how.

But I also hate this idea that popularity equals right.

There have been a lot of people historically who have been extremely popular who have also been literal murderers.

A lot of things that have been very popular were not good or right.
