Let's see if you can guess who I voted for. What? So I'm literally just going to list characteristics about me and I'm going to see if people can educate a guess. So, okay, I'm over on a poll and nobody, and we're not going to tell anybody anything. Okay. So we're going to get so political, but so not political. Okay. We're just literally listing characteristics about ourselves. What are we, what have we turned into? Ready? Okay. Ourselves? You're just pulling me into this? No, no, it could just be me. I don't want to be pulled into anything political. No, no, no. It's not political. It's just literal facts about me. Okay. It's like where I grew up, what I am, what I do for work. Okay. And I want people to get political because I think politics are so stupid. People are going to get an argument about this and I think that those type of people are so

dumb and stupid. I hate them. Okay. But they're going to. That's kind of political by you saying that. No, it's just you're taking a stance politically by saying that it's stupid. Yeah, I think politics are stupid. That's my stance on, my stance on politics are that politics are stupid. He's an independent. Okay. I'm a straight white man from Central Jersey. Yes. That's just a fact. Yeah, I would believe that. And you are as well. Yeah. Yeah. So you are pulling me into this. That's fine. I mean, most of these are, most of these are generic. Eric. Most of these have to do with me and you. Okay. Because we grew up together. It's like the same thing. I live in Jersey City now. I also live in Jersey City. I grew up playing basketball and football. Okay. I grew up playing basketball and baseball. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty much the same thing. Okay. I worked in as my first jobs, I worked in a creative field as a video editor, producer, and videographer for five years after college. You're screaming liberal. No, no idea. Which you didn't do. I did it. Yeah, I worked in business. Yeah, but my first job's a retail store and then I, you know, moved out of that and went to the corporate world, the corporate environment. I am a full-time podcaster now. That's my full-time job. Is that what we tell people? Is that how I would say? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I got recognized today. I was pumping up my tire. you're famous. No, not at me, I was like, oh, God, I'm in trouble. And he goes, you're famous.

No, not really.

It was like, I got a podcast. Yeah. And then I deflated my tire and then he pumped it up for me because I wasn't holding down the handle. And then the last one, I went to Rutgers University. Yes, and I went to University of Maryland. So whatever these people in the comments want to guess, go for it.

I think that debating on this is so dumb.

I think that

debating on this is so dumb. I think people getting in fights and losing friendships over politics

is the stupidest thing ever. Yeah, I mean, it's good to have a stance if you want to, and it's good

to be passionate about your beliefs and everything. But do I think it should change your perspective

of that person?

Like, you should still be able to have relationships.

That's the dumb part about it.

It's so stupid.

I have friends that are raging liberals, and I have friends that are hardcore Republicans,

and I have friends that don't have a political view at all,

and it should not change your opinion on anybody personally.

Yeah.

That's my take on politics.

I'm fully aligned there. I know people outside, they're like, oh, no, I don't want to, you know, associate or be friends. Like, if it's that extreme, maybe. Maybe it's because, you know, you don't know what we are. You don't know what we're thinking. We're mystery men. Here we go. Yeah.

But now people in the comments are going to be like, oh, this guy, this guy loves Biden.
