We haven't heard about La Cosa Nostra in a while.

And this has been a real development in the brand for the five families were mentioned in this indictment.

And I say this very sincerely, having reported the story in a real way.

I am more impressed with the state of La Cosa Nostra today than I was two weeks ago.

You guys are up to stuff.

It's nice to say.

Shout out to you.

Please leave me alone from up here.

Hey, I'm just podcasting here.

Yeah, I think the question is always, if you waited five more minutes, would we have known about it?

Right.

Like, that's really the question.

I'm not above such things being exciting and worth refreshing my timeline for, but I think on some level, without making this too binary, I do think there is something to reporting stuff that would not be known otherwise, and more than that, reporting stuff that others don't want you to know.

And so I think, if anything, speaking to the branding problem of journalism and other like the Italian mob, a once proud profession that has fallen on some hard times until recently, one might say, I would say that we need to sort of distinguish like who gets to use that word.

I do think that journalists slash reporters slash even host.

You know, like I see all of this stuff online.

And what an old sounding ass sentence, just like I see all this stuff online.

And I'm like, this is not a host.

This is not a journalist.

This is not a reporter.
