So like, I saw this world around me and, you know, I tried to, being the good politically minded person that I am, the addicted, you could call me addicted to politics in a sense,

But like, you know, I would argue, I would talk to people I disagree with.

And it's very rare that that would change their minds.

What would, of course, change people's minds is having something happen to them.

I guess my question is, was there ever like when someone would talk to you, because I'm assuming you had a lot of these conversations, someone would be like, you know, these politics that you support, these politics that you're talking about right now,

Are materially harmful to people in my life, maybe even myself.

Did that ever like like it's something in the back of your head ever like twitch?

Were you ever like or did you just sort of like you were in that ecosystem?

You were in that sphere.

You were sort of like, you know, it's that's not important.

Especially probably in front of multiple people.

Yeah, yeah.

I gotta be honest, not bad.

That's not a bad joke.

If you ever wanted to do some standup, that's like something to work with, you know?

That is what I noticed.

And I think it was even before your second child, too.

I think the most noticeable shift, though, was with your second child.

It seems like even before he was born, you started to... I found this one tweet in particular, just looking through some of your backlog, which I thought was really interesting because it was before...

you had your second child.
