thing is risk factor. Tim says half jokin with Ben on why Spotify hasn't given him 100Million like Joe, (to talk about bigfoot). I am on Tims side, but the investors are not happy with Tim's mental state, they think he will no show, or say something that will get them frequent gov' visits. I mean, he might be the best, and a rising personality - i just hope he doesn't faze out by the time he is 40 in 2025

Listening to podcasts hearing people talk before the pandemic is similar to watching something old where they don't realize how big of an impact the internet would change everything. There should be a word for it, tech-nostalgia or pandemic-ostalgia.
