Transcript
I didn't know that he always went by his last name back in the day. Because I wasn't watching. I was living in her house as a child having the same last name. My friends when they came to my house, they referred to him as Dr. Pinsky. And I missed those days. I also understand if you guys watched the initial TikTok and you're like, I'm not a superfan, but I know his last name. That's fine. I'm not accusing you. I just there is a particular frequency to the superfan who asked that question in that way. Okay? It sucks. So I learned something today. Jack and I learned something today. I'm gonna admit when I'm wrong and uh, don't take personally.
