What's poppin' everybody? Hello and welcome to Popcorn Culture. My name is Ben Garland and I am your host.

He's my brother Jay, who will be in every episode. That's me, Jay, Jay, the, you know, the soon-to-be host of the One True Podcast.

Wait a second. What is this supposed to mean? Are you running a coup behind my back? Ben, I've been running a coup for about 119 episodes here.

That doesn't work. Yeah.

It feels like it's on the cusp. I've never felt-

We're so close. I've never felt less secure in my position in state of things than I do right now.

Right. I mean, it's a fickle thing. It's there one day. It's gone the next.

I know. It really is. It's just- I would say it's my primary fear.

That you're going to lose the host.

No, it's good to have. Well, I would say let's pretend for a second that we're talking about the host trophy and definitely not just the rest of, you know, life.

Yeah. But yeah, I mean, like that, that ongoing fear that like at any day something had happened, the disruptor could occur.

Right. You know, and it's like-

There's like this like constant nagging fear in the back of my mind that like I'm pretty close to being homeless or something.

Oh, right. Like like you're just like one decision away.

Right. Like I feel- it feels pretty inevitable that that's just just going to end up to me.

You know, like I don't know. I don't know. I'm not a bear-

Yeah, that like that's like this like completely rational fear in my mind.

I have to tell you though that like there was there was in the early days of like my my business career before before there was every even a chance of a popcorn culture podcast.

Or even like looking at supercarlin brothers as a business venture.

Yeah. And we're just like as a project that you and I were doing.

I do remember out of college definitely like, you know, paycheck to paycheck.

Just trying to like like find that like ignition moment where it was going to be like because I was so lean in to any potential opportunity that could resent itself.
