terviewing people is, I don't know, 10 times harder than what I like to do every day, which is this. I don't know if you can tell, but I would do this just for fun. Literally, literally this experience is just purely fun for me. But the author interviews take more concentration and work. However, I think they're more useful. All right, here's the part that I can only say in public because I have…

Somebody says Joe Rogan is hard to beat. Let me make a statement, and I'll leave no ambiguity here whatsoever. I'm way better than Joe Rogan at interviewing people. It's not even close. Joe Rogan is a show in which, you know, you've got three hours of content, and he's great at it. You know, maybe the best ever. Maybe the best ever if you just look at his success and his audience and the impact he has. I think you could say Joe Rogan's show is the best ever of, you know, anything in that genre. But in the narrow question of just doing an interview, you don't do a three-hour interview. You can do three hours of content. Yeah, I mean, he does that great. But an interview needs to be shorter, right? So if you're just going to do one interview, 45 minutes is a lot for an interview.
A narcissist compensates with false bravado. Oh, you're talking about somebody else, not me. But you can call me a narcissist too. That would be fine. But just be specific. I'm a grandiose narcissist, not a vulnerable narcissist. Well, as far as I know. I mean, couldn't be wrong about that. But as far as I know, I'm the kind of narcissist that likes to get stuff done. And then if I get credit for that, that's great. I like it. But I need to do things that are legitimately useful for other people or I don't get anything.
So moving along. All right, I see your comment. But what was the answer then? Should I do more author interviews? One question and then I'll move on. Should I do more author interviews? Locals platform says absolutely yes, yes, yes. Away for a moment. YouTube's a little mixed. No, no, yes, no. Ah, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no. Okay. In a question like this, only the yeses matter.
Here's a little tip for you about how to judge public opinion on entertainment stuff. This is a really good tip. Learn this and you'll have something to take with you. So I'm looking at the YouTube messages, and it's a mixture of yeses and no's. So what should that tell me about whether I should do this? It's an absolute yes based on the feedback. Because it doesn't matter how many people say no. This is the key learning. It doesn't matter how many people wouldn't watch it. It has nothing to do with whether you should do it. The only thing that matters is how many would. Because there's a lot of people — if five billion people hate you but a billion people love you, you're in a pretty good position. If you've got a billion people on your side, even if the five billion hate you. So it has nothing to do with how many people don't want to watch you. Irrelevant.
All right. Yeah, so also I was on Viva Barnes yesterday. You should Google that. That was a lot of fun. If you missed me on Viva and Barnes, you're going to want to at least stay for how I addressed the first troll who had a comment, because I might have lost my composure. So if you like to watch things where people lose their composure, you want to watch that one. You might like it.
Well, the big news today is that Trump is launching a social media network called Truth Social. They're saying that so far it's opening it up

for beta users. So Trump's network will be open for beta users. There is some suggestion that later conservatives will also be able to use it, but for now apparently you have to be a beta to use it. So I said it was just all mostly Democrats. I don't know. Am I reading too much into this? Oh, oh, oh, a beta. I'm sorry, I misinterpreted this. It's the technology is the beta. It's the technology tha…
