if you want behind the scenes content, farm blogs, all of that sort of thing, we literally built an entire subscription platform just for you guys. It is called cooper confidential.com. Go check it out. Nobody can kick us off. Nobody can tell me what I can or cannot say or post on that platform, which is very important. In the age of censorship, and we know that censorship is still alive and well considering the Tyler Olivia just got kicked off of Patreon. So needless to say, that is where you can find me if everything goes to hell.

Cooper Confidential.com. All right, all of this really started with the Reddit post that went semi-viral over the summer. We even talked about this in a live stream like eight months ago, right after it was posted. But a Gen Z user on the subreddit R slash Gen X posted this question. embarrassedarrassed Knee, 1919, said, were parties like this ever a thing? And then he posted this screen grab from a movie. I'm not exactly sure which one. Feels like it's probably some John Hughes thing. I have no idea. I'm going to have people who are older than me jumping down my throat for this. I know.

Like, damn, I know that when that post hit that subreddit he made all of those redditors feel old, but this is such a valid question coming from my generation. One person said, yep, and we'd actually talk to each other. Unlike now, where kids just sent each other those stupid tic tic-tacks and listen to WhatsApp Ricky or whatever the F he's called. But the Gen Zer who asked that question was far from the only person in that subreddit who had the same query.

Somebody else said, these were the teen adult years that I was promised as a child watching movies and TVs.
