And you wrote a whole book about a call to not cool, you know, sort of defining yourself in opposition to being cool.

And I just want to know, like, how do you think about what cool is now and what benefits it confers on you and also what flaws it might conceal?

Is that Dean?

let's take that diagnosis to be true.

Now that you are the cool one, does that carry any, any risks or, you know, arguments you made in the past where that the people who are cool end up being condescending, dismissive, exclusionary.

You make Dean Wormer references.

But just the last question, because I know you have to run, but what are you most idealistic about?

You probably expected this to go badly and then it went well.

That's Greg Gutfeld.
