I think getting you to be happy again and have fun and laugh with your friends. You were yearning for that at this point for an extended period of time. It was about a year and a half where you're unhappy, felt longer.

It felt like a big achievement when it happened, but certainly with the benefit of hindsight, I know that that's where I became Dan's guide. Now, in that year and a half that we were struggling, I write a lot of bad checks and seeds of resentment will get fortified because of how I handled that stress. I wasn't good. At this point, I had interned the therapy. I didn't know how to carry myself.

Like I felt like if I felt And if I was being let down, I only had so many off ramps before I would just get angry. And I found out the pitfalls of being angry. And at this point, I started clashing a little bit with Allison. And I'm not really clashing with a container so much as being frustrated with telling them what to do and they're not doing it. And I'm holding them accountable.

Yeah, they're also in a different room. Right. So like, I'll feel it. I'm sitting in that and I'm just not great at being able to deal with that. And even though our show is about to turn a corner creatively, grow and really do some important good stuff that changes the game.

I, unbeknownst to me, open the door for more resentment that quite honestly, I'm still dealing with and trying to dig myself out of to this day. But I don't want to set up the next episode on such a bummer because when I think about what's ahead of the show on the timeline, 2016, 2017, those were such great years for our show. It felt like we were doing some really cool, big things.

It felt like we were the rock stars, the bad boys of podcasting. Podcasting all of a sudden becomes a legitimate industry. And it felt like all the moves, all the bets that we put, on ourselves, carrying over the RSS feed, moving to middays. Now that we're feeling better about the work that we're doing, these bets are starting to pay off and you kind of feel like top dog a little bit.

So it led to a really good time, Dan.
