So when I was young, and I guess this is probably true when you were, when I was in college, it was not cool to talk about politics.

Like the only people that cared about politics were like the dorkiest of the dorky people.

And the only time I can remember ever discussing politics once in my life was when the Monica Lewinsky, Kenna star report came out.

Like no one cared.

It feels like to me in the last, really in the Trump era, uh,

Politics has become a part of culture in a way that I don't remember it being during my formative years of culture.

Do you agree with that sentiment?

And is the answer simply Trump is just a kind of this star power thing that has led this to happen?

So you would have been I was out by then.

But that makes sense.

I mean, I come from, I have, you know, I own a minor league wrestling company and I am not the first person who's compared Trump era politics to wrestling, but I see it on every level.

I mean, not just good guy, bad guy, but what you just said about a big part of wrestling is I don't dislike you because you do this, right?

I dislike you because it's my job to dislike you.

So whatever it is you do, I dislike simply because you're doing it.

And for my guy, same thing.

It's bad when you use a pipe and hit the other guy, but it's good when my guy does it because I'm the good guy.

They are the bad guy.

And I feel like that has infected 80% of our population to where people's actions are irrelevant to

to whether it's good or bad the goal is just your guy winning does that do you agree i do yeah and that's terrible because then you can just get away with anything you want to you want to do i i wonder if you think this will continue after trump i sort of have this belief it will end with him do you disagree or agree

And that's why I don't think they win after him is because they have the because I like you say, they're not fun.
