When you record your videos, would you kindly use the voice you use when you talk about Aspen or Hattie, please? The rest of the time you are yelling and talking in a really dramatic way. And though I really like your content, the yelling, I can only listen to for so long, so I end up missing half your videos. I know you don't realize that you're doing it. I used to do that without realizing, depending on the size of the group I was talking to, other than the anxiety causing tone. I love your videos. Thank you for all of them. Um, well thank you for the, for the kind words and honestly, like that is a good piece of criticism. Okay, I, I, I don't mind criticism at all. Um, and, and that's a very constructive piece here. The problem I have is sometimes I'll be talking about a, a particular subject here, and as I'm talking about it, I just get more and more angry about it.

I'm the kind of person who I pretty much wear my emotions on my sleeve. If I'm unhappy, you know, I'm unhappy. You don't even have to talk to me. You can look at me and be like, that dude's unhappy. If I'm off, you can tell. If I'm happy, you can tell. Um, I I, I don't really hide my emotions and I probably should a little bit more, but I also, you know, in this profession, you, I, I've got a, a lot of idols, okay? Obviously, Mike Papantonio, he's the one I've worked with side by side for over 18 years now, and that's how he is. And he gets that way because he cares, right? He's yelling, not because he wants to make that Alex Jones point, but because he gets angry because he cares. Another one was Ed Schultz. Ed was the exact same way.

He could laugh and have fun with the best of 'em, but when you got on a topic that he cared passionately and deeply about, he would get mad and he would get loud. And that's just how he was. And that's, I don't wanna say that's how I was brought up, but in the political realm as a student of this, that's how I was brought up. But then I also look at people who I respect and admire and have spent a lot of time with, like Thom Hartman. Thom Hartman doesn't do that. He, he can be furious and he will keep the calmest demeanor ever. And Hartman's the smartest man in this business. I mean, hell, a lot of us today. All of us today, I will say it, all of us today are proteges of Thom Hartman. He really kickstarted all of what we all do. And it all started, by the way, with a 2003 article, talking back to talk radio. But there, there is a balance. I think there is a healthy balance. I need to figure it out for myself. Um, I, I need to be more like Tom, more like David PackMan, um, but, but unfortunately, I'm, uh, not unfortunately, because I do like it. Um, I'm, I'm almost more of a, uh, mini Ed

Schultz mini Pap, uh, than a Tom. Maybe, maybe I'll calm down as I get a little bit older. But, uh, I do apologize for the yelling now. It's something that's gonna be in my brain every time I do a video, so, all right. I will do my best to, uh, do better.
