What's Pop, and everybody, hello, and welcome to popcorn culture.

My name is Ben Carlin, and I am your host here.

Here is me today's, my brother Jay, who will be in every episode?

Every episode for the rest of 2025 and beyond.

And to infinity.

And beyond.

Exactly.

What do you think it will be?

Like, how much time do you spend thinking about what your relationship with

popcorn culture might be like in the year like 2050 2050 2050 wow I mean if I gosh if we're so

that would be 25 years from now would you be hold. I'd be like over 60. Over 60. That's crazy. That is crazy. Yeah.

I mean, but it's like the, the truth of the matter for me at least was when Supercarlin

mothers first took off back like in like 20, I gonna say 20 15 yeah really because you were that

was the year you got married you were still working at the burglins center yeah it was the year you

ultimately ended up going full time all that type of stuff but like truly honestly completely in my

head I was 100% sure that this was like it was like go like I didn't, I didn't, like, I wasn't even quick to, like,

leave my day job because I was like, go and see how long you can ride the wave. Maybe you get a

couple of years out of it. It'll be an interesting story to tell, you know, your kids one day.

Right. We used to do this YouTube thing. It was kind of popular, Like, you know, like, whatever. Um, and so more than anything, though, it was almost like, don't let go of your career because like, you're going to need that as soon as this all goes away, which, I mean, I think that there's still probably, it's ebbing, but I still think there's a piece of me that's sort of like, like, should I go, like, update my resume just in case, you know, like, how often should one be doing that, you know, like just, just go and be like, I'm, I don't know, I'm not very good. Excel, Google Sheets. I'm okay with, what you would just put it there. Ben Carlin resume. It's just Excel, Google Sheets,

question mark. That's it. That's it. Hire me. Am I doing it right? I just, I mean, literally,

there's like a piece of me at this point in time that would literally have to be like, I don't know

how to describe my skills. I don't. I don't know what to say. I don't know what they are.
