You know, and I'm, like, this, like, always, like, armchair, you know, activist over here.

Um, actually, I will say, you know, do you guys know who Rikki Schlott is?

Yes, we've had her on the show.

Oh, you have?

I love her.

Actually, she actually plays a really big part in my story because when I left NowThis, that left-wing place, and then I had one year at a, um, nonprofit, Rikki was there.

And I sat next to her.

And she's a libertarian, sort of like small-c conservative, and she wears a cross on her neck.

And I had never worked with a conservative who was my peer my whole career.

And she was awesome.

And I'm like, this girl's so smart, she's so...

um, confident in her perspective, and she stands up for what she believes in.

And she was modeling to me the type of person that I would want to be.

And, but she had conservative values, but she was so kind about it.

And, um, she actually introduced me to Barry Weiss's podcast, honestly.

And she said, you should listen to this.

You would like her.

And she could pick up from talking to me that I was not as left-wing as I had once been.

But in my mind, Barry was like a fascist.

Mm-hmm.
