Welcome to the Rift session, everybody.

Was there an echo?

Did it echo in the room?

I will.

Maybe it echoed in the room.

So here's what I want to do tonight.

I don't want to start because every time I start, you know, we get sidetracked on stuff.

We get too far.

Yeah, and then like Juan didn't even get to talk last time so hey i talked plenty i just didn't i didn't bring my troubles to the table

well you you're going to start tonight um but i do want to comment on a thing that I read from a comedian who has hundreds of thousands

of followers.

Whoa.

But I think something's fishy about it.

I think that there's I think there's comedians out there who are sort of gaming the system. I think

they've bought followers somehow, or they've got bots, or they've got some sort of way of

inflating the numbers, because this guy is, nobody knows who he is. I mean, he's not in any way, shape, or form. He hasn't been in any

movies. He hasn't been on television. He doesn't have notoriety on any podcast. He doesn't

have a podcast. And so I get it that it's possible to build a following outside of the normal

channels.

But if you're going to have hundreds of thousands of followers,

you need to do something in the comedy world,

especially since it's over 500,000 followers.
