The hypervigilance is, for me, how it โ I think here's a couple of things that created it.
One, Brezhnev.
When Brezhnev was the leader in Russia, and so I was 10 and 77.
and there was many years where it really felt like we were going to have a nuclear war.
It just felt very intense around the world, and that scared the shit out of me.
They made you drill and get under the desk, and they were selling bomb shelters and stuff, like people had bomb shelters in their front lawns and stuff like that.
And so, yeah, it's funny.
I was talking to Drew about this, getting back to Trump, but not wanting to...
dwell on it but i said you know when he was talking about you know the march and the women and the this and the that and everyone hitting the streets and everything he said you know what do you think and i said i think it's a i like it but what i don't like is when you terrorize the kids like when they have the five-year-old girls out there going i want to keep my ovaries and she's holding a sign it's like don't freak her out because she doesn't really have a context for
for this.
You, my wife, your wife, Brian's wife, they don't fear that their ovaries are going to be taken by Trump.
But you tell that to a six year old, he's coming for you or a young black child or young Hispanic child.
Like he's coming for you.
And it's like, that'll freak a kid out.
Even if it didn't turn out that we got into a, you know, exchange nuclear bombs with Russia.
Yes.
As a young person, I was the same age.
You were, uh,
We had this freak out kind of, oh, my God, it's the my sort of there's a serial killer loose phenomenon to the adults.
Like statistically, what are the chances he's coming to our house to the 10 year old?
