Guaranteed human.

So I've been getting a lot of friendly pressure from a number of different avenues to rejoin social media.

And I'm coming to both of you because both of you know me better than anybody but my wife probably.

And I'll wake up one day and be like, I want to do it. I think it'll be fun. You know, I can put out some comedy stuff, which is what I want to do. It would be a good outlet to have that. And then I'll wake up the next day and be like, not a chance in hell. Am I ever getting back on social media? and I honestly don't know which way I'm leaning.

And I'm curious what you both think. Who is friendly pressuring you?

I have some friendly pressure from your husband. Okay. I have some friendly pressure from my nephews who are not only thinking about it from, they're like, hey, you know, they're younger. They're in their 20s. They're like, hey, this is what you do as somebody in the celebrity world, quote

unquote, although I don't consider myself a celebrity.

This is what people do social media.

If we want jobs or anything nowadays, people will say, what's your following?

There's a financial aspect to being on social media.

I mean, there's a number of reasons to do it.

And then I think

of like my my mental health and anxiety and things like that. And I know that it's can also just be a nasty cesspool. And I'm like, yeah, I don't know if I want to do it. But the part of the mental health thing, because I know that you've always said that like getting off social media was like really good for your mental health.

Huge.

But it seems to me, like for me, my, the dangerous, like the bad part on my mental health is just scrolling and reading it and being addicted to it. Which I do anyway. Which I do anyway. So that's the part, because that's what I thought you meant when you would say like, oh, I took, you know, I got off social media. Oh, see that. Yeah. I mean, that I think you just would actually be good for you to face. Because I think as long as you're doing something that you believe in and you have an authentic presentation of yourself. Like, you know, in other words, if you end up going back on social media in order to try and be something that you're kind of not, do you know what I mean? Yeah, no, no, no. But if you go on and we're like, here's a series of funny videos I want to make or talking head things I want to talk about or my, you know, nerddom stuff that I'm obsessed with, it can be a really fun community, you know? Right. But you still feel pressure. Like, I never feel like I do enough. Like when I found Substack and I it was like, oh, I could just start writing essays and publishing poems and stuff like. I loved it for the three

months that I was doing it. But now I'm like, every time I think about it, I'm like, oh, I haven't written anything. I haven't published anything. It's like a job. It becomes a job because it's a, You know, so you want to make sure that it's something you want to wake up and have time and,

and get, like, energy to put into it and enjoy.

And if making videos is fun for you and like making you should just well i'd love to do like the add stuff again that we started like the minute long comedy skits to me that stuff would be super fun yeah and i think if you could find a way to incorporate that into your schedule like if i was involved was involved, I would be like, let's do once a month.

We come over to your house and shoot like five skits in a row. Right. And then you release them slow. Yeah, let's do it, dude. I think that would be fun. Danielle, you're big in the social media world and you know me. Would you, would you be a yay or a nay for me joining social media again? Um, I would probably be a nay, which originally, you know, I told you like the Finsta

and you do have a Finsta, which is how you're able to scroll everything. And I think like,

you love sending funny memes and videos and I love sending them to you. And I think like the
