Pete, good to see you. Thanks for coming back. Mike, what's happening, man? You know, we were talking

offline and you were saying, you know, sometimes things get heavy and both of us were sharing

our stories of doing this independently, which you've been doing longer than I have. And I don't

know about you, but people will say, you know, when I, the other day, they're like, is that all you

do for a living? And I'm like, yeah, and I get that they don't, they can't grasp that. Like,

they think that you just sit around all day and do nothing and like, but I work all the time.

You work all the time. And this stuff gets, it gets very, very heavy. And I don't know, I, people, I don't think

they understand the stuff that we're talking about, the stuff we're reading, watching, listening,

it takes a toll on you. I mean, I probably record 20, 25 hours a week. I do all my own editing. That's another 20 hours, 25 hours. Then all the reading I have to do for it. One of the things that most people don't take into consideration is, and I think a lot of people are, I'm a different person than other people.

When I watch horrific stuff that's happening around the world, like the stuff that happened in Gaza,

especially when it was at its height, I would force myself to watch those videos.

And that's not something that, you know, I think most people should be watching.

And, you know, my wife knows how I get after I watch those videos where I have to be left alone.

And I have to, you know, I have to just deal with it.

And, you know, I watch that stuff so that I watch some of the worst stuff in the world and read

about some of the worst things that have ever happened because i have to be able to convey and

you know convey that message that this is the world we live in and warn people about it and i want to

know as much about it as possible.

And I'm not one of these. I've never been, I was never in the military, so I've never been to war.

I have seen somebody die in front of me from an accident, getting hit by a bus. I was very young when that happened.

But, you know, for the most part, I'm not dealing in death.

And when you start doing what we do, you start dealing in death.
