It's embarrassing that it's been five years.

Now is the time for me to practice what I preach, to lead by example and apologize to him unequivocally.

And he was I was met with grace.

He was very, very kind and he accepted my apology.

And I'm very grateful for that.

If you are in the media, understand like we are all flawed.

And you're right, Tucker, we all do change some for the better, some for the worse.

It is okay to admit when you're wrong.

It is okay to apologize.

It doesn't make you, I don't know, a less credible person if you admit you were wrong.

And so just something to keep in mind if you happen to be in the media and you've made a mistake or you've accidentally smeared someone or you intentionally smeared someone and then realized it was wrong, just apologize and move on.

At first I felt scared after I said that in public because, you know, sometimes you're met with people who, even though they're not the ones who got smeared, they're not the ones receiving the apology.

They won't accept it and they just keep doubling down on how you're a terrible person.

And that's fine.

That's fair.

But to my surprise, a lot of people were really happy to see that because it's so rare these days, especially on social media.
