Andrew, how's it going?

The audience development is developing. um every day i check it i'm like yo if i get like one new follower a day it feels like it's a good day so it's good it's i mean we all gotta start somewhere dude yeah yeah yeah we all gotta start somewhere that's right that's right you gotta start from zero i did i was shocked i was shocked
How did Andrew start using Instagram?
After knowing you for about maybe five or six years, knowing that you only had LinkedIn, and then one day you woke up and decided to also have Instagram, I was pretty shocked. Although I think I know the gateway drug is you were logged into the Subway Takes Instagram account.
That's right.
You saw everything Subway Takes had to offer or that Instagram had to offer, and you decided to make your own account.
Yeah. Look, I jumped headfirst in. I did, as you may recall, I did hit up you and Hasan, front of the pod, Hasan Ali Khan, on our group thread to get feedback on what my username was going to be.
That was for your domain name. That's what you were thinking about starting a website.
I was like, is this godaddy.com or like...
That was so weird. It was websites these days. I just got done recording a pod with famous comedian Ian Fidance.
I love Ian. How's he doing? I haven't seen him in like a minute. Is he doing wonderful?
He seems great. He's pretty happy. He's a positive guy. You know, he's he's I think he said he's 15 years sober, which is pretty damn good or 10. I don't remember.
10 years sober which is pretty good and he's i mean he's always had that infectious ian finance energy yeah i mean dude i remember the first time that i met him which i don't know if that was the first time you had met him when he was yeah that was the first time really okay got it when he came on um the last stop which is a deep cut for the subway takes heads know what i'm referring to but when he showed up on set and just realized wow this guy is a real um firecracker
I didn't even know who he was until then, which is my bad.
He was so funny. So how did the episode go, man?
It was great. We talked about the 90s and how that was the golden era of literally everything. 90s music, 90s vibes, 90s furniture, 90s aesthetics. 90s lifestyle. He's a 90s guy, and I'm a 90s guy, so we had a lot of fun talking about that. We talked about Thailand and how we could move there and live like kings and also probably establish a village that is 90s-themed.
Yeah, look, I think that would be a big draw. By the way, I think if you're so nostalgic for the 90s, does that just mean that you're a little washed, a little old, a little bit out of touch? Did you guys touch on that as a topic?
Of course not, because everyone knows the answer. That's rude. First of all, that's rude.
Well, I phrase it as a question.
Yeah, but you're making an assumption.
Why are the 90s considered the golden era?
Well, I mean, it was a bit of a push-pull, I'll admit.
But I did phrase it as a discussion. We did not discuss that. Okay. But we discussed Life on the Road, Delta. He's a Platinum Medallion member, which I was very jealous of. And a number of other things. It's going to be a great episode. It's a great episode.
Wait, did you not... You're not on the Platinum Medallion?
Oh, no. He's Diamond. He's Diamond. Oh. Which is insane. Shit. Yeah. But back to your earlier assessment of a 90s lover. Yeah. Here's the thing.
Okay.
Everything was more interesting in the 90s than it is today.
Okay. How do you define interesting?
I'll just use an example of like, let's just use a living room. Okay. Let's use a coffee shop.
