Um, I wanted to I so I have it on Substack, which I've really, really been enjoying.

I had I've done a few podcasts before and they've always been fun, but they've been I wanted to kind of do something a little bit like smaller.

That was just like me talking directly to like people who wanted to hear what I had to say.

I was getting I'm sure you can kind of relate to this.

I was getting really frustrated with the algorithm and feeling like because a lot of my videos tend to be a kind of silly stuff.

Yeah.

And I was noticing like if I talked if I went too far into talking about being gay or too far into being politics, the videos would just get completely suppressed and I would still make them.

I guess I wanted to talk about those things.

Yeah.

But I was like, oh, if I can create – if I can go to, like, Substack and people can subscribe to this and then, like, it will be sent directly to them.

Totally.

Non-algorithmically.

No, that makes a lot of sense.

I was like, I think I want to just try that and see – And I think that's cute.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was the idea.

That was the idea and I thought it would be fun and it's been really fun.

Like, it's really nice to have, like –

like a group of people that listen to the show and like it's growing and they and like they're sending messages and people can email into the show and so it's been very fun and it's also very surreal to like it's kind of extension of the doing the videos and stuff but it is crazy to like talk for an hour and be like people want to hear that but like you're fucking telling me I know yeah it's like I I told people I've said before like because one time I got a comment this was like years ago obviously I've been doing this for fucking ever but like years ago I got a comment they were like yeah I've heard that story before I'm like

It's like, what do you want me to do?
