You're listening to an I-Heart podcast. We just want people to, you know, live their lives and be happy and be

able to enjoy it without some, you know, lunatic screaming in their face every three seconds.

We should be focusing on the issues that actually occupy a lot of the mental space in Americans' minds,

but are filled with conspiracies, and we should fill it with the truth and solutions.

As we built Midas touch, the community aspect was almost more important than us saying,

you know, here are our political beliefs and here are these political stances,

but more like, hey,

don't y'all want things to be normal?

Hi, everyone.

I'm Katie Couric, and this is next question.

It's no secret that one of the things that propel Donald Trump to victory in the last election

was right-wing media, a potent combination of conservative

cable, podcasts, and social media influencers. Now progressive voices are trying to make sure that

their footprint is as powerful and as big. The Myceles brothers have created the Midas Touch, one of the few digital networks.

Yes, they consider themselves a network to crack the code, gaining millions of followers,

and even beating Joe Rogan for the number one spot on Apple Podcasts a few months back.

So I'm really excited to talk to them about what they're doing

and how they're doing it. First of all, hello guys. Welcome to next question. Thank you so much,

an exclusive, the first time the three of you have done an in-person interview together, right?

Absolutely. Wow. I'm very, I'm very honored and very flattered.

And I wanted to ask a little bit about your life story.

You all grew up on Long Island.
