All right.

So, Robert, what made you initially want to become a journalist?

Was there a specific journalist or publication that inspired you to take that path?

just made me think about when I was in college, I took early on in college, I got approval to take a class.

I was a freshman.

Everyone else was a senior in the class, but the professor, for some reason, let me take it.

And it was a psychology of ethics class.

And I had to do this report that was like most of what I worked on in that semester.

And it was all about, you know,

the ethics of the insanity defense for mass shooters.

And it was right after the Aurora shooting, the movie theater Batman shooting.

And I think a lot of that really shaped the way that I thought about

people, which I think impacts a lot of our work.

So I don't know, it just kind of takes like one class.

I feel like sometimes it's just one, one or one assignment really to like influence you creatively.

Yeah.

It's definitely how it was for me.

Yeah.

There's several different questions that basically sum up to the same, same question from folks that they're asking, who's the oldest bastard in history?

Linear, yeah.
