Damon, great to see you.

I think I may know you as as long as anyone in this industry.

Um, we won't say the year, but when we first met many, many years ago.

Twenty of them, Tim.

Oh, twenty of them.

Uh you were at Disney, I was at Disney.

Uh I was on the studio and I thought it was a hot shot because I was working

on future films and you were working at this division of Disney called Stage 9.

I thought it was a hotter shot, but I was actually just an internet nerd, it turns out.

So what was stage nine?

What was it like?

I mean these are very early days of digital content, digital entertainment, and what was that like at a large media company like Disney?

Do you think it's a classic too early or do you think it's a combo of too early, wrong fit, not enough investment?

You had a a a couple jumps, but really you went on to co-found and I think run what's trending, which super interesting first look into internet news, internet culture.

Again, I wouldn't say it was the birth of YouTube, but audiences were shifting.

What were you seeing in that transition?

You also saw a lot of crossover, right?

I mean, I remember back in the day it was like Shaq coming on, Snoop coming on.

It was quote unquote traditional celebrity athletes, musicians also crossing over into internet culture, maybe for the first time.

And from there you mentioned Maker, right?
