So like the Sam Richards who I've worked with and I do videos covering him sometimes where he's live streaming his college courses and they do very well because people find it fascinating.

He's very worried about getting shut down.

He just got, I was supposed to, I went down and spoke to his class, which is 500 students.

And I was supposed to go down this month, but he just texted me the other day and said he has a meeting he's been summoned to by the provost.

And he doesn't think they're going to get shut down, but that threat is always looming.

And that's what they're going to use.

I told him this earlier on.

I was like, it's going to be over the potential for hurt feelings.

They probably won't even be able to point to anyone where there is actual hurt.

or anyone who really cares, because he's careful about which students he selects.

They all know what they're doing before they do it.

They understand it.

But the school can still point to... And that's one of the things the school pointed to with me, is they said,

okay well yes but the student having something like yeah we didn't expect this to go viral and yes it doesn't break any rules but when there's millions of people looking at it it could take a toll on him i was like yeah but also they're almost all positive because he changes he was reasonable in the video he to me he i think he was a very mature student a very intelligent student and it's also as well you couldn't see

Right.

Logically, it would be the same thing as if that music teacher made a song with one of the students, they post it on YouTube, just the audio, and it goes viral.

That's technically the exact, it's just a voice, but you don't like the content of the words.

Yeah, I still teach at Emerson.

I teach a filmmaking course, and that was originally my plan was to hopefully be a professor at college.

My parents were both professors.
