Yeah, thank you.

I get a lot of clout for that.

Yeah, I should add a line of like, was hungover for nine years or something like that, just so it's clear that that all didn't happen in the same year.

And can I do a quick 30 seconds on what it is?

Because I realized I didn't do that yet.

I wanted to explore the past, present, and future of specific topics in a way, mostly history and pop culture, in a way that kind of makes you feel like you learned something from it.

So I didn't want to replicate, there's so many great political podcasts, but I didn't want to replicate the doom and gloom thing of like, here's how shitty something is and here's why it'll continue to be shitty.

So for example, our first episode was Bill Nye.

Everybody loves Bill Nye.

he joined me to outline the space race.

So in the 80s, the space race or 60s, even, you know, how do we get to the moon was all between the US and the Soviet Union in competition.

And so much of the competition today is now privatized.

It's between billionaires, right?

So like, why did that happen?

What's the direction of it?

Are we still funding space exploration?

And how does it like help us on Earth?

So those are some of the kind of it just it's a fun, light listen that hopefully makes you feel like you learned a little something at the end.

Yeah.

If you're a little bit of a nerd, I hope you hit because it's been... And also there are things like... So we had Pete Buttigieg on to talk about... Actually, we talked about infrastructure, which is a horrible word that you should never put in the title of what's the podcast about.
