00:00Mikey's character in the movie has an interesting perspective on like the positives of Facebook, which I thought was kind
00:05of interesting.
00:06And I'm curious, like at the end of the day, do you think social media is good or bad and
00:11has becoming a dad changed your perspective on that at all?
00:14Well, the thing that that really bothers me the most about the whole thing, aside from racists getting together and
00:25exchanging ideas, I still don't understand why they're allowed to organize.
00:29I don't understand why that that is protected under the First Amendment.
00:33They're they're amassing weapons. They're talking about starting race wars.
00:36And why are they just it's the only you know, there's your white privilege.
00:40Only white people are allowed to do that. No other if any other group was doing that stuff, you know,
00:45you'd see CNN and Fox News every day.
00:47They would they would be going off on it. But like my my big thing was the the cyber bullying
00:53is beyond like heartbreaking.
00:57That like I mean, it was already bad enough that if you got bullied at school and the fact that
01:02it never ends and you know, you have these kids that have this tool and nobody's brain is fully developed
01:08and they just psychologically break a kid down to the point that they take their own life.
01:14It was just something that was just like and my thing is like how you could be running a business
01:19that that's a part of it.
01:22And like what is the corporate speak that you come up with to work your way around that so you
01:26can keep moving on to your next yacht is beyond me.
