I mean, I should because I'm going to ask you for some pointers afterwards, just so you know, because I have no idea who they are.

Is it audience capture?

You know, my history, and it's funny because you talked to my producer and this is where I met him. We were involved in a tech company back in the late 90s, early 2000s when, you know, everybody was making money with tech companies. And what we were pushing was something at the time called amateur content. Because there was no name. There was no YouTube. There were no podcasts, nothing.

And we developed a common sense podcast growing out of my radio show as an example to show potential investors what this would sound like, because they literally couldn't envision it without an example. Right. And I had to do these. My job was to go to these investors and sort of explain to them what the world was going to look like when we could all be broadcasters.

And I recently went and read some of the material because I was cleaning out some files. And it is amazing how we can fool ourselves into thinking that it's all going to be awesome when we can all do because I'm sitting here. Oh, you know, you're going to be your own reporter. You're going to be on the scene. You're going to be. And then when you actually get there.

and you get to see all the unintended downstream consequences that never entered into your head when you were pushing, you know, all of us being the news media and all that kind of stuff. It is fascinating, but I will say I do feel like, and I've said this to you before, that we're entering into guinea pig generation territory now.

I mean, I got two kids, and I try to tell my oldest, she was born in 2002, that the iPhone and the texting and all this stuff that seems like concrete bedrock reality to her is, is younger than she is and that she's the first generation that we're going to see what happens when this is the world you live in.

And then before you get a chance to get accustomed to that and sort of evolve around it, it's going to change again because the pace of change is speeding up to the point where, I mean, we go from MySpace to Facebook, from Facebook to iPhones, and it all happens so fast we haven't incorporated and absorbed the last big change. It's like Moore's Law. It's like Moore's law.
