Speaker 4: Welcome home, Welcome back. It's been about a year, right
Speaker 4: since we last saw you, but.
Speaker 1: The last yeah, and I didn't know it was you.
Speaker 2: I was like, you were on my list of people
Speaker 2: I wanted me.
Speaker 1: I was like, I wanted to meet Andrew Gilliam and
Speaker 1: I'm being so for real, and you interviewed me, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were on this show, so I
Speaker 1: was It was a surprise to me that Andrew Gillam
Speaker 1: was interviewing with me, and I couldn't look for you
Speaker 1: because you were right there.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: Well listen, you'll get the chance to interview us now.
Speaker 4: You know at some point with this new kickoff of
Speaker 4: the show, tell me what drove you to this decision?
Speaker 1: Why now?
Speaker 4: Why this? You're thirteen, you know you're about to you know,
Speaker 4: you the man, You've been the man.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
Speaker 4: But but but life is about to get more hectic.
Speaker 4: Why this podcast now?
Speaker 2: The podcast now? It is a crucial time.
Speaker 1: I am not only going to combat misinformation like I
Speaker 1: just spread about being outside real misinformation and combat the
Speaker 1: worst people that I can combat.
Speaker 2: Not only that, but I am in it.
Speaker 1: To make and get people, get people in a good
Speaker 1: move because people need to laugh in this moment, and
Speaker 1: we're not. I'm not going to bore anyone I'm going
Speaker 1: to spread good information while.
Speaker 2: Being entertaining at the same time.
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: That's the nonscripted answer. Well, that's what we want. We
Speaker 2: want the unscripted answer. Noah.
Speaker 1: You know one of the things that drew all of
Speaker 1: our attention to you, I believe last summer during the
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention, you were going up to people giving
Speaker 1: it to him. You were debating people that are about
Speaker 1: five times your age, all with facts, and I was like,
Speaker 1: he is so impressive, he knows his stuff.
Speaker 2: We gotta have him on the show. Everybody agreed.
Speaker 1: So again, it is a thrill to have you back
Speaker 1: on with us and most importantly a part of the
Speaker 1: Reason Choice Media family.
Speaker 2: So we do welcome you.
Speaker 1: We look forward to listening to all of the breakdowns.
Speaker 1: But want to know where you got that from? Like
Speaker 1: you I had, it took me a while to be
Speaker 1: able to combat the worst among us factually and took
Speaker 1: a little bit of political background. You're too young to
Speaker 1: have a job, So where did you.
Speaker 2: Get that from?
Speaker 1: It's look, it's so important. I love debating people. Like
Speaker 1: if someone says he that that that thing of beans
Speaker 1: got thirty eight calories, I'm like no, And especially if
Speaker 1: they're so loud and wrong about it, I'm like no,
Speaker 1: And then I google it. And then if they find
Speaker 1: a way to try to find an excuse and back
Speaker 1: out of it, I can. I can get them back.
Speaker 1: It's like you're pivoting, So I am. I love to
Speaker 1: debate and I love to call out, like you said,
Speaker 1: the worst among us, and I do that with only facts,
Speaker 1: and then on the long way, I might crackle a
Speaker 1: joke on their head about the bankruptcy or whatever.
Speaker 2: So it's sort it's not.
Speaker 3: So Noah, tell us about the podcast. What is the format?
Speaker 3: Is it just you informing an audience or will you
Speaker 3: have guests?
Speaker 1: It's just me, and most of the time I will
Speaker 1: have guests. I actually will. In fact, we have Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams and we also have coming on, and we have
Speaker 1: a few others. It's going to be great. And most
Speaker 1: of the time I will I'll be going through the issues.
Speaker 1: I'll look at all the issues and stuff, and then
Speaker 1: along the way I'll give the facts about it. But
Speaker 1: sometimes it's going to be a solopod. Sometimes it's going
Speaker 1: to be a guest on. Now you know, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: No, I got a quick question about most folks your age,
Speaker 4: I think you probably would agree, are not as deeply
Speaker 4: rooted in politics. How do you help your generation and
Speaker 4: frankly those above your generation, because there are a lot
Speaker 4: of folks who are feeling disaffected, right, how do you
Speaker 4: help them to relate to what's happening in politics and
Speaker 4: how it relates to their everyday lives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just tell them why they should care.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think the saying oh, we need to
Speaker 1: go vote because they people going to do the roles
Speaker 1: in the bridges.
Speaker 2: They didn't really care about that.
Speaker 1: But if you're saying the the tariffs are gonna start
Speaker 1: affecting your ps five, right, they're gonna start caring and
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to the polls. There's some elections I
Speaker 1: don't pay attention. I need to start paying attention to
Speaker 1: more local stuff. But there was a something going on
Speaker 1: in Georgia state wide and they were like, Okay, but
Speaker 1: how will this affect my utility bill?
Speaker 2: And I was like, personally, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know about your utility bill, but what I
Speaker 1: can tell you is that this directly impacts your bills.
Speaker 2: And so you should go out and vote.
Speaker 1: In this election and they and they did so because
Speaker 1: it affected them directly. But saying we need to save
Speaker 1: democracy that didn't really work for Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: That did that cost them to drop out.
Speaker 1: So you got to use messaging that really that they
Speaker 1: care about, that works for them. Nice when you consider again,
Speaker 1: and I hate to make everything about your age, but no,
Speaker 1: you know you are the exception for your demographic How
Speaker 1: do you, uh, let me say this way, how did
Speaker 1: you get so interested in the political process and making
Speaker 1: sure that people got involved our vote voting really on
Speaker 1: your behalf because you can't vote yet. Yeah, well it
Speaker 1: comes from an obligation. I was not always political. I
Speaker 1: used to do roadblocks videos, I used to do lifestyle content.
Speaker 1: I just used to do you do public stuff. And
Speaker 1: so I started making endorsements because I don't really do
Speaker 1: a lot of I don't do a crazy amount of
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people tweet out charity links. I
Speaker 1: tweet out political fundraisers because it's more of a direct impact,
Speaker 1: and so if I can make that kind of direct impact,
Speaker 1: it's great, and use a platform to really promote good candidates,
Speaker 1: like mister Gillan was over here and in tight, tight,
Speaker 1: tight races and make sure that they get through the
Speaker 1: finish line. But what made you so you're at thirteen
Speaker 1: years old when we met you last year year twelve?
Speaker 2: Uh huh? What made you care about this?
Speaker 1: Like most, you know, young people, if they're talking about
Speaker 1: a fundraiser link, they're like, this is for my Christmas money, right,
Speaker 1: So it's like, girl, it's still different. So is there
Speaker 1: somebody in your family who's into political content or someone
Speaker 1: who ran for office? What made you personally want to
Speaker 1: get involved?
Speaker 2: Not necessarily.
Speaker 1: So I actually got everyone registered and active, and so
Speaker 1: I got everyone following y'all before and everyone, and so
Speaker 1: they can get into more people that are involved.
Speaker 2: And they said, you saw what.
Speaker 1: Angela Ry posted, But she was like, they just took
Speaker 1: away this and I was like, yeah, I'm the one
Speaker 1: who told you about it, and so not from that,
Speaker 1: but it really comes from it really stems from just
Speaker 1: having having the obligation to do it and and giving
Speaker 1: people the opportunity to promote their campaigns. I mainly care
Speaker 1: because it's a direct impact on me. Even I want
Speaker 1: to be able to look up when I am able
Speaker 1: to vote and have a good nominee for president. And
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a it's a great sense of
Speaker 1: obligation as well as interest. Okay, wait, no, this is
Speaker 1: my last one. I'm deferding my co host. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: push on you a little bit. Since you like to debate.
Speaker 1: You haven't obligation that came from somewhere, So I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it had to be in your home, direct family.
Speaker 2: Is there, a teacher? Is there?
Speaker 1: You know, somebody at your church?
Speaker 2: Like where did this?
Speaker 1: Did you turn on the TV one day and you
Speaker 1: were like that is not true. I could debate them.
Speaker 1: I would win something. What was the spark? There's a
Speaker 1: spark that came from somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: So I met Stacy Abrams in twenty twenty two and
Speaker 1: a bunch of people I posted the picture and a
Speaker 1: bunch of people were asking me, okay why, and so
Speaker 1: every time I would tell them they had some type
Speaker 1: of rebuttal. I think you asked the question perfectly. They
Speaker 1: had some type of rebuttal, and then I had some
Speaker 1: type of rebuttal, and then I won the rebuttal. And
Speaker 1: so I can do if I can do that with
Speaker 1: everyone on a mass scale, That's why I'm so excited
Speaker 1: about the opening of the podcast to do that on
Speaker 1: a mass scale. Give that type of rebuttal, give people
Speaker 1: talking points. It's a great deal.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Now let me ask you, the podcast space is very,
Speaker 3: very crowded, and so for all the people who are
Speaker 3: listening to this episode, listening to you, what's your pitch
Speaker 3: to them? Why should they two into your podcast given
Speaker 3: the three million podcasts that exists. Give us your best pitch.
Speaker 3: This is why you should tune in to now, you
Speaker 3: know is Noah Demarasso.
Speaker 2: So I'm look at the camera. I'm gonna give my pitch.
Speaker 1: So first things first, I think I'm going to give
Speaker 1: logical information that makes sense that you didn't have beforehand,
Speaker 1: while also being entertaining. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: problem with a lot of podcasts, maybe two million, eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand of those podcasts, they I cannot get into them.
Speaker 1: A lot of podcasts are not interesting and they bore
Speaker 1: you halfway the thirty minutes. So for enable to me,
Speaker 1: for me to keep track of the podcast, they have
Speaker 1: to say something that I can pick up on. And
Speaker 1: so if you're just saying information after information, I'm like,
Speaker 1: hold up, wait, let me get my pen and write
Speaker 1: down what you're saying because it's constant. So I think
Speaker 1: I am going to provide a good logical breakdown while
Speaker 1: also entertaining you at the same time, well.
Speaker 3: More than the cable news outlets are doing this.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the fake news. Oh what you said?
Speaker 4: You hope the audience will be what?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 4: What you want? Younger folks? You want older folks? Does
Speaker 4: it matter?
Speaker 2: Well, everyone's invited.
Speaker 1: Everyone's invited my cookout. It's I'm gonna have the aunties.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have the gen Oh know.
Speaker 4: Y'all y'all heard that, right, Yeah, everybody's invited to his cookout.
Speaker 4: Y'all had some discriminatory practices around our cookout. Really, yeah,
Speaker 4: you gotta check out the episode.
Speaker 2: Go back a little bit, Lady, you're invited?
Speaker 4: Thirteen year old? Acceptable? But we'll see.
Speaker 2: Can I pull up? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Brother, Okay, all right, cool, cool.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a kids plate though I know, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't play about that.
Speaker 2: So I got you.
Speaker 1: But but for sure, So I am welcoming everyone.
Speaker 2: I'm welcoming gen Z.
Speaker 1: I think I can appeal to gen Z for obvious reasons,
Speaker 1: like when Kamala Harris them the campaign trail. They sent
Speaker 1: me to talk to a certain demographic eighteen through twenty
Speaker 1: four and they're so hard headed that only I can
Speaker 1: get to them, and so it worked greatly. And the Aunties.
Speaker 1: I'm welcoming the Aunties because they they send in such
Speaker 1: great suggestions and such great You should talk to Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams about this, And I don't know what the pot
Speaker 1: where the podcast would be production wise without the Aunties
Speaker 1: and UKs and everyone else. Everyone is welcome and everyone
Speaker 1: will have a place to a place to listen to,
Speaker 1: to be entertained at.
