topic. Hello again, Sean. Yeah, you too. I was following some of the stuff from PaloFX via

Instagram and Twitter and I felt like I was missing out big time.

You guys looked like you had fun down there.

Yeah, it was a good, good event, the first event in this world I've ever been to.

Nice. Yeah, I suppose. That was good. Yeah, that was fun. So for people that do not know, Elise, you are known. I guess you have a YouTube channel. You call yourself a raw alignment, very popular channel. I think you had something like, how many subscribers do you have like a million or something like that? Almost. A little shy. I have about like 750,000. Wow. That's a lot of people, some big, big influence.

And you, you were a proponent of veganism for quite a while.

How many years did you, did you do that for?

Yeah, I was vegan for about four and a half years.

Four and a half years. And then, you know, recently you decided that, you know, it's not for you anymore.

You decided that was no longer the the best route for you and then of course you got the typical everybody

that thinks you're crazy and so on and so forth we can talk about that but let's tell us a little bit

about your background you know and i know you i know i heard i kind of listened the one you did

with bobby rest of the other day so uh i got kind of got some of that but I think most of our listeners haven't heard that and so it'd be nice just to kind of tell us a little bit about who you are where you grew up what you did you know your kind of your kind of decision to to pursue the past you did and then we can kind of get into some of the other fun stuff I think is that anything else to else to say? No, I think that's great. I think you've got to, I was just looking at your website earlier. You've certainly got an interesting backstory. So I think, you know, let's just let's just kind of know, like, who you are, kind of where you came from, and we can get into kind of how you found yourself where you are today. And I do want to make an apology. First, I want to thank you for coming on. It's wonderful you for doing this. But I have an apology because I was frantically trying to find some kind of background that was unique for you. I thought you're such a nice, happy people. I was going to try this peaceful ocean sunset scene. I couldn't get the bank thing to save on my computer.

I scrammling to do that. That's why I was late by about a second here. So I had to use this background that was already used and I apologize. This is not a fresh background for a new guest, but it's still nice looking. This is from Ecuador, which we use with Tristan Haggard. You got a volcano instead. Still got a lot of, we've got some neat stuff there.

So anyway, without further interruption, we've got some neat stuff there.
