Ill be the first to admit that nothing drains my sense of masculinity faster than making a TikTok.
I hate ittruly, deeply hate it.
But heres the thing: Ive come to realize that Im not alone in this feeling.
In fact, it seems to be a universal sentiment among my colleagues.
None other than the self-proclaimed narcissistic king, Tommy Smokes.
Tommy is a fascinating anomaly.
I cant say for sure, but its impressive in its own peculiar way.
For the rest of us mere mortals, the discomfort is palpable.
And I get it.
Ive felt the same way countless times.
But why is that?
Is it because we think the content is terrible?
Do we feel like imposters in a world that thrives on polished, curated personas?
These are questions Im still grappling with.
For me, the answer is simple.
Talking on a podcast feels natural, even funits conversational, unscripted, and raw.
Its cringe-inducing, emasculating, and, frankly, a little embarrassing.
But heres the catch: its also part of the job.
