Good afternoon, Michael Malis here. Let that be your welcome for the next hour. We have us with us a very special guest Sydney Watson Internet commentator co host of you are here.

That's why I got to meet you. I was the first guest on the show and Australian native people can follow you on Twitter at what Sydney L Watson and YouTube.

And YouTube.

Sydney was just in Watson.

It's in Watson.

I really go. Sorry, sorry.

It's just very creative. Just it's just my name.

Well, I hate it. I this is I got this advice from Ralph Sutton who was the head of gas digital who's a great, great person.

And he made the point and this is for young people out there see if you can get the same name across different platforms.

Because if you have it on Instagram or on Twitter, it gets confusing people and also many of these platforms allow you to change your username.

So if you have that kind of whatever it's called across the board. It's it's a good marketing technique said you're from the accent people don't might not realize you're from Australia. How long have you been in the States.

Yeah, so I moved at the middle of 2019 and it is actually funny that you bring that up because even now I get really mixed reviews on the accent it's either you sound really Aussie or where are you from? Are you Irish? I get Irish a lot.

Oh, I just sound remotely Irish.

What an insult. Good.

You think I'm from that part of the prison colony.

You joke. No way.

It's bad.

But what made you pack up your bags and move to the States?

Yeah, well effectively Australia is a little bit of a prison. I know that people joke about that a lot, but the general Aussie mentality is not something that I really identify with too much these days.

And that's not to say that Aussies aren't wonderful people they are and they're so fun and the food is great and they're awesome.

But yeah, by and large trying to work in the political space and having people be very politically ambivalent.

There was no correlation there for me and I was like I just can't do this so I packed up and I and I left because I figured at least if I'm going to try to promote freedom and these values and the value system with which I was brought up.
