Hi Chris. Hey Lex. I'm sorry at Lexi. I've known you for quite some time and I've also followed you for quite some time and I think it'd be really special for the

listeners to get to know you.

Okay.

I just would like to say that you preface this with I want to interview you really well and I'm sort of wondering like am I on an FBI list or something like interview me well for what am I even doing?

Like ironically I want to respond with like so what was your childhood like but when I was making notes earlier that was my first question that was yeah what was your childhood like it was really good from Delaware

which it's so funny like maybe you feel this way about Virginia, but also like you could totally not and like I would understand.

I hated it at the time and I love it now. I'm so happy that's where I started. Like I look at

Los Angeles for example and I don't know I just feel like kids aren't kids here.

They already know more.

Well, I guess that's kind of like all the youth at this point.

So I get confused if I like, I love my childhood,

but I don't know if it was because of the time.

Like we were just getting computers

It's kind of cool to learn that as it was coming out, but like there was nothing better than just like running around outside and like everything felt so vibrant

This is a funny question to ask

is I'm in like a existential crisis about just wanting

to be a kid again.

I put out a podcast episode today.

I was talking about the shooting in Texas and my manager spoke up to say a story about how he went to like visit his daughter on the last day of her school year and there was a shooting and I'm just I just started sobbing because I'm like they're kids this is when it's

supposed to be the most magical time and say you know and say you should not be a

privilege yes wow my like childhood it just it's so funny you ask that because I've just been thinking about that lately of like how nice it was to be a kid and how children these days don't have that luxury or even opportunity.

Anyways, my childhood was really great.
