Hey, this is the moment, a Brian Koppelman, thanks for listening.

I am thrilled that Hank Green is here today, and partially because I rarely have somebody

on the show who means so much to my kids who are, you know, my grown kids.

The women I work with on Billions, the most closely, Rose and Iana, who are ones of

the writers room assistant and the others, a future director, but is also an assistant

who are 25 and incredibly, these are some of the brightest people I know and, you know,

I could be interviewing a movie star or rock star and they're like, eh, yeah, whatever.

And I say Hank Green and they're like, I have 17 questions, and which is really great

because Hank Green and his brother started the Vlog Brothers and the Vlog Brothers was

this incredible thing.

Hank, I'm sure you're here.

There's some people in my age all the time, but, you know, suddenly the answer from my

daughter, Anna, to something I would say is, well, the Vlog Brothers see it differently.

And that's really not how that happened, Dad.

I'm sure you're, you like Christopher Columbus, but let me explain what really happened

historically.

But you know, you express this stuff in a way that engaged people and treated young people

like grown-ups in all the best ways and have none of the wrong ways.

And that was immediately clear.

Since then, if you don't know, Hank, his influence on the popular culture is really great,

because the people who are taking over the culture were weaned on on him.

These rights, these terrific sci-fi novels, the newest one is a beautifully foolish endeavor.
