Yeah, a couple of times, but I'm from England. Yeah, that's true. So more of a football team culture. No, no, no.
I feel called out.
Listen to the podcast on the way to meet your friends. Yes, exactly. Yes, that's why we love podcasts.
Robert, I'm really curious about what you think. I'm a millennial and I have younger cousins who are Gen Z and we spend a lot of our time on the internet. I met my spouse through Twitter, as crazy as that sounds. So this is a world where people meet their spouses, whether it's Tinder or Instagram. And then Gen Z, they spend probably a disproportionate amount of their time online.
And for some people, and I think in my generation and younger, that's where they found their connections. Would you think that's a problem or do you think that can be an alternative third space that maybe can foster that sense of trust?
I'm a complicated person, Robert. I'm sorry.
Oh, we get Bob now. We get Bob, okay. Wow, okay. I was going to say Professor Putnam. Oh, please. Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's not talk about me. No, we must talk about you. I'm an addict. But Bob, it's so funny. You mentioned the neighborhood group and the rake. So recently I joined my neighborhood WhatsApp group. And it's very nimby. I thought it was very nimbyish, but there was just like legit concerns about crime in the neighborhood and the LAPD getting out when they would come out.
And, you know, sometimes people be like, there's someone walking in the neighborhood. This is their description. They're a bit suspicious. And there was one day it got a bit loaded because it was just like, there's a black guy, he's in a hoodie or something like that, you know, very fit the description.
And it was somebody else in the group who's white said, hey, let's be careful we're not profiled. Like, it was so refreshing for me. No, because I live in a majority white neighborhood. And I'm like, I don't want to be the black person in the group being like, you shouldn't say that. And there's a white guy said, hey, guys, we should be careful. And... people figured it out amongst themselves.
Because it's also the same neighborhood group that when there is something suspicious happening, when there is a break-in and LAPD don't get there, there's the same people in the group that may say something offhand about a description that will show up to your house And make sure you're OK. And there's something about that group that's completely transformed.
Like, I would be sensitive, typically, if I read about a description. But everyone has this trust among each other to say, even if we say the wrong thing, we don't mean it in the wrong way. We want to keep our neighbourhood safe. And fundamentally, we all trust each other and look out for each other. And sometimes it's like, I need flour. Does anyone have flour?
You know, and this is something I've never been exposed to, but it's happening through WhatsApp. But I'd say the critical thing is we have a great leader. I don't want to say her name because she probably doesn't want people to know.
She messaged me and she said, she was like, she told me her history and she was like, I want to meet your husband and your kids. So we're trying to figure it out. And she's the person that goes around and she organizes neighborhood walks. But it's completely changed how I perceive not just people in my neighborhood, but how I even see how others see profiling. But it's the neighborhood.
There's something to the neighborhood group is what I'm trying to say, Bob.
Or music lesson. People learn instruments.
I don't remember that particular one. You don't remember that moment?
So Trevor, my question is this, like you've hit on something with this Trump thing. How do we guarantee in this crazy world we live in that people don't start clubs of hate? Which I think what Trump it as much.
