It's so unnatural to me.
I've worked on it, yeah. I did it like three days ago. My girlfriend said I was traveling around the world. I don't even know what country we were in. She goes, I've got some things I want to talk about. Can we put some time in the calendar? Do you have 60 minutes? I've got off stage in Sweden. I put in 60 minutes into my calendar. She video calls me and she talks to me for about 45 minutes.

I don't have anything to say. And I just sit there and listen. And in between the lines, it's like things I could do better. She's not blaming me or anything, but it's hard for me. My boys would never do that. Our friendship isn't contingent on those things. So that's what I would say.

Like, I don't know if you relate to that, but.

By 2050, about 40% of the population will be senior citizens and the labor force could have halved within the next 40 years. The Bank of Korea warns that if current trends persist, the Korean economy could begin contracting in 10 years' time. And this presents a national service risk as the country relies on its conscripted military.

And this will fall by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people by 2025. Though half, oh my gosh, could fall from 250,000 troops to... 125,000 troops. Politics is the last thing I wanted to talk about. And how this sort of intertwines with everything we've talked about today. Obviously, Trump is now in power.

And as we saw in the data, and it was touched on earlier on, young men have become more right-leaning and more conservative than ever before. The left hasn't necessarily offered the best vision of masculinity to young men, as something Scott's talked about previously. I was wondering, I think this morning in the hotel, I was wondering, I was like, how are... How is the left going to get men back?

Is that possible? Because the vision of masculinity, this is something Scott's talked about, that the left portrays is not, doesn't seem to be in line with all the things we've just described that we feel intuitively as men. The things we think are important, like economic viability, being strong, you know.

Those are the people that whisper to me in the streets about these conversations. It's the 40 to 55-year-old mother who has a son, who doesn't feel like she can speak up, but says to me privately that she's worried about her kids. And actually, we had some mothers write in, all of which wanted to stay anonymous. saying this exact same thing. They've got an 18-year-old son. They're super concerned.

They've got a 16-year-old son. The son looks lost. As the stats show from the report, they're not leaving home in the same way that women, their daughters leave home, but they don't know what to do about it. So for those parents that are listening now, we can't change society. What would you recommend a parent of a young boy does?

Yeah, I've never thought about that before, but it's so true that like, as a man, you should aspire to be considered generous, right? And actually the first time someone called me generous was like such an unbelievably wonderful compliment to me because it means that people see you as someone that's giving things.
