I don't think I suffered at all. I knew your project suffered. But I didn't suffer. Like, it's hard working 70 or 80 hours a week, but it's still just making a radio show. I know. That's not actual suffering. I'm not saying you were like a... No, but can I say, like, for me, yeah, there was no question. I never questioned it while it was going on. I don't question it in retrospect.

I feel like that's what I wanted to do. That's what I had to do. And I feel like there are narratives of other kinds of people who make stuff where, like, that's sort of romanticized. You know, people go off and they paint or they write and they do whatever it is. They write music, you know, like, and that's seen as a kind of positive thing.

Like, I don't have a feeling about whether that's positive or negative. Like, I understand in retrospect it's not the path that most people chose or choose, but, like, I don't have a problem with the fact that I chose it. I felt like I liked it. I wanted it. I was going to do what I wanted to do, and that was what I was going to do. Like, I don't know. It was stubborn. Yeah.

Yeah, but that doesn't feel like that's about the beginning of starting the video show. That feels more like what it's like now. Do I want to keep throwing myself into this machine that I built? How do you think about that? I find that very confusing, honestly. We're about to come up on our 850th episode, and there's a part of me where I feel like I really adore the people I work with.

I feel like this last year we've made shows that are as good as anything we've ever made. And shows that have been very excited to get on the air. Like, you know, you have that feeling of like, oh, that was a really good one. Oh, I can't wait to hear people hear that. I feel like I've felt that over and over this year.

But I did this exercise like a couple months ago where I had to pick out greatest hits episodes to create a greatest hits archive. And actually, like, I had never really gone through the archive of all 800 episodes to think about which ones of these are really so good.

I think that somebody today could, like, enjoyably listen to this show from 20 years ago or 15 years ago or 25 years ago, you know. And then when I see, like, the number of episodes in a year – Some years where I was like, like over the years, like as one home, we would make 26 or 28 or 30 or 34 shows a year. So out of the 30 shows we did that year, there are eight or 10 really wonderful ones
