All right, y'all. How you doing? Welcome to the show today, Crystal Kyland friends. So we have Vosch coming on today and he's a really, really interesting Twitch streamer, YouTuber, political commentator, libertarian socialist.

I mean, it is somewhat new that we have, you know, in streamer culture, gamer culture, online culture, now debate grows on the left because for a long time, they were mostly on the right.

And so he's one of the first, one of the first of those. So really interesting stuff. He's got, he has a colossal following now. Can't wait to talk to him.

But boy, oh boy, did you drop a bomb on everybody? So seemingly out of the blue, although not, but seemingly out of the blue.

You and Saga are out at the hill. You guys made the decision to do that. So why don't you tell everybody a little bit about that.

Yeah, so you guys will be watching this on Friday or Saturday. And Friday was Saga and I's last day at the hill doing rising, which I feel a lot of emotions about.

He actually pointed out, and I hadn't, because I'm not that smart, put this together. It's almost two years to the day since he started as host.

Right now, I think our very first time we posted stuff to YouTube was like June 1st of two years ago.

So it's just kind of interesting the cycles at these things going and we're going to have more, you know, I don't want to divulge too much yet, but Saga and I are going to continue to work together.

If you go to, sorry, Crystal and Saga.

Not going to put in your email and find out what's going to be next, but I mean, the big thing is we believe in independent media, you know, and we believe in this new ecosystem and truly being out there on your own and putting your faith in the audience.

And so that was where the leap of faith really came in, but I couldn't be more proud of what we've been able to do at rising in a short period of time and the type of values.

We've been able to put forward and conversations when we've been able to have and one of the things on maybe most proud of is the fact that we have an audience, which is truly ideologically diverse across the spectrum.

There isn't a day that went by that we weren't like pissing off some portion of our audience and that's something that I actually feel really proud of.

I can't believe it's only been two years.

Yeah, Saga's been on the show because you guys grew so fucking fast.

Yeah, it really took off kind of right away.

We so when we started posting rising on YouTube, the Hill YouTube channel had 5,000 subscribers.

And it was they weren't posting anything there. It was just completely more of a button.

So we really built the channel from the ground. Thank you from the ground.

And it was lying fellow, I guess, the the you know, so I don't know that me.

The first thing I've said this many times, like the first thing that popped was an interview we did with Andrew Yang.
