“So, Joe Lonsdale was gonna come on the show, and we had a vendor that was working on our podcast. They do some, what's called pre-production stuff, like come up with thumbnails or their interesting tidbits on the internet. And this young gentleman reached out, like, two days before the podcast and basically said, hey, due to my moral beliefs, I do not agree with this guest that you're gonna have on your podcast, And, ah, so I'm not going to work on this podcast, but feel free to send me other podcasts to work on. And I thought about that for a minute, and I thought, man, that is everything that's wrong with our society today. That instead of when you disagree with someone, you try to dig in deeper to understand their perspective and to find mutual truth, you instead want to silence them and you want to be no part of the conversation. So needless to say, we're not continuing with that individual.”
