I was on the same list you were, just not as one of the most influential people. I was one of the hundred people chosen to write about one of the most influential people, like Lord Trump. And for whatever reason, Time asked me to write 150 words, no more, no less, about Joe Rogan. And I did.

I've done his show once, and it went very well. And what I said about Joe... And my write-up was, I can't tell you that I enjoyed every moment of my interview with Joe Rogan, but that's only because he didn't interview me. He talked to me. And that's his secret sauce. When he gets it right, and he often does, it's a conversation.

And I'll tell you, again, I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but you can bullshit anybody for 20 minutes or an hour, maybe. probably not 90, definitely not two. And you sure as hell can't do it for three.

So you get in the third hour of a conversation with the leader of a country or a CEO of a company, you're going to get a version of, you're going to get something authentic for better or worse. And, you know, I don't, I can't listen to his podcast all the time because I don't have three hours at a time to do it. And for a long time, I kind of poo-pooed that.

But with this election and Trump's decision to go on and Harris's decision not to go on, that became apocryphal. That was amazing to watch and determinative. And I knew exactly what I wanted to say about Joe. It was all about the third hour, the hour nobody listens to, but is nevertheless quite possibly the most consequential hour in media today.

Look, I know my audience. And in this case, I know it's you. And I know that deep down, you're an eight-year-old girl who just wants to pull my finger and see what might happen.

You know, closely? No. But I've been to D.C. probably half a dozen times since the inauguration. In fact, I was there not at the inauguration, but I was there that week. And of course, I've been watching. And I've never really seen so many otherwise intelligent pundits and commentators rendered so foolish, really, not because of their take, just because it's obsolete the next day.

Whatever it is you think you might know about a thing, just go ahead and put it on a shelf because we're not going to be talking about that tomorrow.
