I mean, look, I use every new inbox that is slowly eroding the sanity of everybody who's listening to this.

I grew up on Long Island.

I think I'm allowed to say it too.

Where?

Oh yeah, way out by Montauk.

Back when there were potato farms.

That has changed.

Now there are nightclubs that make all the locals crazy, but yes.

Yeah, Montauk is the end of the line.

So if you take Long Island Railroad out from New York City, it will end in Montauk.

And it was a perfectly fine place to grow up.

I didn't realize how strange it was until I got older.

Well-

When you're growing up, what is around you is normal because even a reference point, but you're growing up in a location where you have a barbell of income and wealth distribution, right?

So you've got all of the, let's just say the broad Hamptons that people know, which would have like the a hundred million dollar homes on the beach and.

All these famous directors and financiers and little white shorts playing tennis.

And then you have, on the other hand, like affordable housing.

When I was growing up, like crack epidemic in certain parts.

So I didn't realize how much was missing from the middle of the whole thing.

I feel like this is the kind of question my dad would ask me.
