So I have a bunch of friends in the entertainment business who I look at and I say, like, there's no way I could possibly do what you do, which is like make myself vulnerable on on an 80-foot screen that way.

And they're like, Yeah, that's that's the hard you know, that's the hard part.

And then I always ask, like, you know, do you read your own reviews?

Like, do you read what people say about you?

And they all basically say w this exact same thing, which is they say, I tell everybody I don't, and then of course I do.

Right.

And so it's it's it's very hard to avoid that.

I I I do think don't read the comments um is a uh is generally a very good life guideline.

But by the way, I will say YouTube comments have gotten much better.

So may maybe your YouTube comments are productive now, but um I think in general don't read the comments uh is helpful.

I mean it's really hard.

I mean, you know, everybody's human.

I think it's really hard when somebody like is cursing you out or calling you, you know, saying horrible things, but you know, it's very hard for that not to stick.

I would say I'm pretty happy not not paying attention to that.

Are are you aware?

Uh are you

aware at this point of uh the concept uh the meme of retard maxing?

Well, so first of all, first of all, retard maxing is totally politically correct because retard is no longer I mean, we now have 18 other terms that apply to people who are like, you know, developmentally disabled.

And so like retard it now means it now means something completely different.
