Dave SmithGuest
Francis FosterHostListen, we thought the last conversation we had from completely different perspectives was really special, actually.
And that's, you know, sure, we'll take some credit, but I thought there was credit to your approach.

That show that we did last year stood out to me as one of my favorites of the year.

And I thought there was a little bit of a thing going into it where none of us were exactly sure.
this way, but we weren't exactly sure.

um and i don't know it's really i really do value you know obviously when we make these things we put them out it's kind of not up to us what that was anymore everyone's got an opinion on it and that's fine uh but i think to all three of us we were like yeah that was cool that was cool that we were able to do it in the way we did i saw you know it's so funny after it man because you have the reaction that kind of we all had and then you see the way other people take it first i saw people You never try to, obviously, you guys might do a show where there's a million views on it and there's 5,000 comments.

The comments don't reflect the majority of what the people who watched it think necessarily.
And

And you're like, guys, just to be clear, None of the three of us think any of this happened like literally no one none of the three of us think anyone got destroyed nobody really thinks that like it was um and and also I Don't know.

I guess it's just it was kind of crazy to me to see people be angry at you for just being Cordial with me which at least from what I know your show has kind of been your calling card The entire time like that's what you do.
That is what we do, but a lot of people most people, I would say, just want their opinion reflected back at them.
