Because I'm listening. I listen. I listen. I listen. 00:00:21:20 - 00:00:26:08 Speaker 1 I know you started the show back at the basically at the start of the pandemic. So 00:00:26:08 - 00:00:38:05 Speaker 1 what would Paul of 2024 tell Paul of podcasting your podcasting self from 2020 when you started your first episode Was the coronavirus Cardi B 00:00:38:05 - 00:00:39:20 Speaker 1 Talking coronavirus. 00:00:39:20 - 00:00:44:03 Speaker 1 What would you what would you say to yourself now. 00:00:44:05 - 00:01:05:05 Speaker 2 It's funny you brought up COVID because you know that was a SEAL, but that was the first time I actually use kind of like a snippet of how she there's certain sayings that B says that, yes, and it was going viral and they used it. And then later on, I find that, oh, I could be sued. So I said I was like, at this point, nobody knows me. 00:01:05:05 - 00:01:17:13 Speaker 1 So you know what? Yeah, you do it and ask her forgiveness, You know what I'm saying? I mean, you know, I got a feeling Cardi B as much bigger fish to fry. But you know what? Say, you know what? If she goes after, you could turn it into content. 00:01:17:20 - 00:01:20:24 Speaker 2 And that's what I was going to say. There would be some good content. 00:01:20:29 - 00:01:26:02 Speaker 1 That would be something that would be some awesome content. Yeah. Then you'd have some real shit to talk about. 00:01:26:05 - 00:01:37:23 Speaker 2 With a mixed race on Twitter because I'd make it into right now and turn it into all from receiving the letter to battling it. Yeah, yeah. 00:01:37:23 - 00:02:00:13 Speaker 2 Well, back to your question. So literally, I would tell pull out of 2022 was stressing about doing this podcast is no don't worry about that little stuff right I was I was editing to perfection like the calls the everything which took me like 3 hours. 00:02:00:13 - 00:02:14:23 Speaker 2 And this is when they call for me after they're like, it's in there because we're humans, right? We cause this is how we talk when applied for. So why, why would somebody assume, because I'm on a podcast, I should speak proper that now I know talk So 00:02:14:23 - 00:02:24:20 Speaker 2 that and also I was so worried if I'd ever have guests on my show, I was like, Who's going to want to come to to talk shit? 00:02:24:20 - 00:02:52:20 Speaker 2 Well, it's funny when people realize you have a podcast and again, everybody's experience is different.
