But it's funny because I get posts on my instagram as well like I don't understand why you're always wearing your sober t-shirts and talking about how you're sober, like your fans and your viewers. And I know that some people may see that as that's fake, like you can't really want to help that many people. This little show here is, you know, I'm not getting paid for it. The messages I receive Today are, brandon, that podcast is saving me like they're not in recovery.
