And I was like, oh, I can't do this anymore.
I have to figure out ways to, I don't, I can't like access real life stuff to get there.
It works, but it takes a toll on me personally.
And that's when I realized that I don't think what I do should be making my life worse.
I mean, I loved my upbringing.
Had a great, great parents.
Really, really lucky upbringing.
Watched, I was always, like I said, Emily and I hosted a podcast called The Indoor Kids for many years about video games.
I was certainly an indoor kid.
A lot of movies, a lot of video games.
I mean, there was a time in my life where I watched a movie every single day.
I'd go to the video store, I'd get seven movies, watch each one, take them back, get seven more.
That was really what I really, really loved.
Like when I think back on like, and also having a, we have a big family that's very close.
So my dad has four sisters, they all have kids.
My mom has a sister and a brother, they all have kids.
They didn't all live in Karachi.
But every Friday, all of us would go out to dinner.
So it was like 15, 20 people every single Friday.
So those were the things I really loved as a kid.
