I'm I'm going welcome back.

I'm so excited.

I'm sitting here with Tony.

And I'm excited to just hop into some pop culture tea, pick your brain.

First, I wanted to introduce the audience to you, let them get to know you a little bit, like where you're from, what your show is about,

stuff like that. Of course. So I'm Tony, Tony Brandt TV. I'm a YouTuber and podcaster. I have been

doing this full time for almost three years now, which is crazy, like right after graduating

college. I'm now based in Atlanta. I moved to Atlanta almost two years ago.

Time is like flying. It's just so weird. I'm like, these last five years have just drifted away.

I'm like, but yeah. So that's what I do. I'd like to discuss pop culture. I do video essays,

deep dives, mainly about things like affecting our society and how it impacts us as a whole

and how each person, how we're developing in this newfound world, which is crazy.

Like I said, the last five years have just been a whirlwind, as we can, you know, in simple terms

to explain.

But yeah, I just recently launched a new podcast called The Decision Podcast, and it's all about how one choice can impact your entire life.

The story that blew up on there was a woman that was diagnosed with HIV from a man.

She was dating and just talking about some of the decisions you make with who you're around and what you choose to do.

And I just, the whole premise of the podcast is just to teach people that we aren't, I guess, like, it's so easy to define people from the experience that they went through or labels that they may have had, but that label doesn't define them. And I mainly came about it because as someone that talks about pop culture, I have always been very sensitive towards the fact that, yes, we're talking about people and their real lives. It's not just like everyone thinks it's just like a big reality show. Like, no, these are people's real lives. I'm always sensitive towards it, though I'm still giving that information. And through that, I noticed how judgmental people can be. I'm like, you guys don't know these people. so I was like I want to make a podcast where you can understand a little bit more in depth of a person and what they are going through. And it's not just like, oh, this one situation is defining them. So yeah, that's a little bit about me. I'm 24 and about the shows that I have. I love that. Yeah, we talk a lot about mental health on here. And I have, I'm going to pull the T so people like write in and I'm always giving, I'm 34 and I have

changed my mind in my career and just like so many things, so many times. I've been a million

different people in my lifetime and I talk a lot about that like throughout my 20s and that's

so in alignment with I feel like the conversations I have.

I think it's really important, especially for women to hear because society really wants to put us all in this one box, whether it be caretaker, housekeeper, whatever they want us to do.
