What's up, guys?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.

More of a chill topic stream today.

And I love talking about, I mean, we talk about this off camera all the time, just like what the heck's going on with modern media and Hollywood and also some nostalgia for days which we know were better.

So looking forward to getting into it.

Well, I guess.

I mean, I saw that tweet and I really related to the author of the post because he's speaking as an elder millennial.

I'm 35.

I'm kind of smack dab in the middle of the millennial generation.

And I do like the America of my childhood feels very different from the America of today culturally.

And it's not completely lost.

I don't want to be like super doom.

And I feel like on some level, I have to admit, everyone probably feels that way.

Like my grandma felt that way about how she grew up.

So, but, but I do feel like there was sort of a different level of cultural change and evolution that was really evident in media and in Hollywood, uh,

post maybe we were trying to locate the year before we started the show maybe like around 2013 14 15 somewhere kind of in that range things started to feel just just different and the the diversity you saw on screen you know pre woke times was something that just kind of organically happened it didn't feel like force it didn't feel like there was an agenda didn't feel preachy it just felt like hey we're making uh we're making american stories and

We're putting out things that we believe the audience will respond to.

We're appealing to human universals and just kind of reflecting what our culture is, what our values are, what our struggles are.

And of course, nothing was perfect.

And that's not to say that race relations were totally utopian pre that time.
