Welcome to a milestone moment in the Blake Cunningham Delirium universe—our very first video episode! Filmed outdoors during that perfect sweet spot between summer and fall, this visual journey introduces a whole new dimension to the stream-of-consciousness experience you've come to expect, complete with a decorative skull backdrop and what Blake self-deprecatingly calls "an extremely flattering camera angle."
The birthday episode kicks off with Blake unwrapping his thoughts about Metroid Dread, a gift from his girlfriend that has been giving him the "heebie-jeebies" when played after dark. His musings on video game difficulty balance between Metroid's rewarding challenge and Demon's Souls' potential frustration offers gamers a relatable touchpoint. As fall approaches—Blake's favorite season for its "spookiness"—he connects these gaming experiences to the changing atmosphere around us.
Things take an existential turn when Blake contemplates an incoming asteroid, questioning the very nature of preparation when facing cosmic inevitability. "What are you preparing for exactly?" becomes a philosophical thread that weaves through discussions of Canadian wildfires, Instagram critics, and music recommendations. His passionate endorsement of Primus and The Claypool Lennon Delirium reveals the show's musical heart, while his improvised explanation of Schrödinger's cat as it relates to gambling decisions showcases the unique mental connections that make this podcast unlike any other.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see the skull decoration, the snuggie, and yes, those "grody fingernails" Blake mentions. And don't forget to check out Blake's music on all streaming platforms—as he puts it, it's "charged up to the max with all kinds of melodies, riffs, solos, and vocal harmonies."

We are here outside um, outsidefor a good time outside, and we
(00:22):
have a very flattering cameraangle going and we got the mic
covered in hair and dust and wehave this skull thing behind me.
Now I I'm just excited to tosay see myself on this screen,
(00:47):
because this is a big step goingforward and it's really going
to add a new dimension to theshow and I have a lot to talk
about today and I have a lot totalk about today.
Actually, seeing myself makesthis much worse, because I can
(01:19):
see just the dread in my eyes.
Speaking of dread, I recentlyit was my birthday.
This is the birthday episode,happy birthday.
But it's not just my birthday,it's everyone's birthday.
And you get one lemon.
You get a lemon for yourbirthday.
So, oh, that's an unflattering,this is kind of a pruney Lemon
(01:47):
Lemon.
Oh, that's an unflattering,this is kind of pruney Lemon.
Oh, wow, this is a game changer.
So I got Metroid Dread for mybirthday as a gift from my GF.
Metroid oh, it's like, it'slike rotting um as a gift from
(02:13):
my GF.
So, metroid Dread I it's.
I know it's a little too, too.
It's a few years too late, butI'm really enjoying it.
Listen to the breeze.
This is nice.
(02:33):
It's nice weather right now.
It's like in between summer andfall and it's going to be a
good fall.
Fall is my favorite seasonbecause it's spooky season, and
it will be a great season toplay Metroid Dread, because
(02:57):
Metroid Dread, honestly it'skind of a spooky game.
It honestly spooked me out alittle bit, like, I'm not gonna
lie, it kind of gave me theheebie-jeebies when I played it
at night.
Um, yeah, and it's a good game.
I like it.
It's challenging enough, it'sgood and challenging and it's,
(03:19):
um, it's challenging enough.
Um, it's challenging enough.
Like some games, like I tried.
I recently got Demon's Souls Ithink it's called Demon's Souls
and it's challenging, but it'slike, it's almost like just too
(03:41):
hard, to the point where it'snot rewarding and fun as well.
So I had a whole bunch of newsarticles pulled up on my cell
phone, but now it's being usedin the recording process process
(04:03):
, um, and so I can't do it.
But there was something about anasteroid coming, and here's my,
here's my take on the wholeasteroid thing.
(04:28):
It's like if you, if you knew,just give up, like I, I don't
know what is the?
Um, what is the point?
If it's like, oh, theasteroid's coming, I have to
what?
What are you preparing for?
I guess, like it just listenthat see, that's mother nature
agreeing with me.
Because, um, what do you like?
(04:49):
What are you, uh, preparing forexactly?
You know, it's like a tornadothing, I, I like it's not quite,
I guess, a tornado you candrive, you can drive to a
northern state or I don't knowwhatever, wherever that this is
(05:10):
coming, wherever, whateverprovidence you happen to be
residing in, and, um, I don'tknow, like, what are you exactly
preparing for?
Because it's like it'sinevitable in all shapes and
(05:34):
fashions, because, like, it is anice breeze.
The breeze is nice because Ihave like bo right now, and the
breeze, well, I don't know.
I don't know if it'spenetrating the snuggie, but it
(05:55):
could.
If it was cold enough, I'm surewhich I don't know it might get
colder today.
But guess what, guess what?
It probably won't be any coldertoday.
So I'm not actually trying tocover my face, but I don't want
(06:27):
anybody to get too excited.
So, yeah, an asteroid is coming, probably later today.
I would look out for it, butdon't try to stop the inevitable
.
That's just, I don't know, awaste of time.
(06:49):
But also, is it really a wasteof time?
Because it's um, it gives yousomething to to look forward to
in your uh, life, your verymeaningful life, um, uh.
Next, I'm trying not to say um,but I, but by saying that I just
said yeah, oh man, there's likesnot coming out of my nose on
(07:16):
this microphone, so we'redefinitely going to sell this as
an artifact someday, with anautograph.
Next on the list list, not thatlist, but on the list of.
(07:46):
Got to talk about it.
It's the elephant in the room.
My instagram haters, if you're,if you've been hating on my
instagram, I am going to roastyou and school you and and take
you to the graveyard.
I mean, that's not a threat,but I'm going to annihilate you
(08:10):
in the comment sections with a,with a type of like a, not an
insult, because that might beconsidered slander but like I'm
not gonna be, I'm gonna schoolyou, I'm gonna take you back to
(08:33):
school and way down inside,honey, you need a little led
zeppelin.
This is still a music show.
It's a music comedy show, um,and people like it.
(08:54):
I mean, this show is gettingnumbers in in all kinds of
countries and and places likeplaces that, like, literally,
you wouldn't even understand the?
Um, you wouldn't evenunderstand the.
There would be a languagebarrier.
(09:15):
I guess there would have to belike some kind of language
barrier, because there's no wayyou understand my just dumb
rambling of nothingness unless,I don't know, maybe they do that
in other other, other, otherother countries where it's like
(09:35):
they um, they just listen, liketo get through work, they listen
to stuff that they can'tunderstand, like at their job.
Maybe it makes the day gofaster because it's like, well,
every second of this isunintelligible.
So maybe it explains themeaningless, meaningly
(09:56):
meaningliness of my job.
Meaninglessness, meaninglessness, meaning less claypool.
Let's talk next.
Oh, next on the agenda here.
Let's talk about less claypoolfrom bands such as oysterhead,
(10:21):
um, primus, claypool, lennonDelirium.
I'm just now hearing aboutthese things.
The Claypool Lennon Delirium isa side project.
I'm not actually readinganything, is it?
Oh, it's coming.
(10:44):
The at is coming.
I can smell the sulfur andmagma oozing from the asteroid
(11:09):
and it is coming right towardsus.
It's hurtling towards us in afashion I always say that on
here in in a way that otherasteroids would not do, that.
(11:31):
Um, what was I talking?
Oh, primus, everybody should belistening to primus.
Um, uh, you should be listeningto Primus, probably every day.
Every other day will also do.
And the Claypool LennonDelirium.
(11:54):
You gotta be doing that everyday, you gotta be every morning.
Blood and Rockets Movement One,amethyst Realm the other songs
the first album by them is okay.
There's like a Crickets song onthe album.
(12:15):
It's good, it's acceptable andyou know, do it.
Listen to it Breakfast, dinnerand lunch.
At the end of the night, rightbefore you go to bed, play
Metroid Dread and listen to theClaypool Lennon Delirium, the um
(12:53):
satisfaction.
Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
That is the path in steps to agreater and better.
Better life is to listen to thethings I just told you to
listen to now and play MetroidDread.
This is not an ad for MetroidDread, but I wish it was.
(13:19):
It's the end of summer.
You know what that means backto school season and cool season
is over with.
You know what that means Backto school season and cool season

Thank you to that portion ofthe show.
Next deal of business.
Next deal of business.
(15:11):
I don't want to have to talkabout it, but, but Wait, I had
some Genius Thing to say.
Now my stomach is rumbling.
(15:32):
I don't know what to do withtoday.
Do I go get fast food orsomething?
Is that a good use of my time?
Do I cook a home cooked mealfor myself?
Is that a good use of my time,because I'm just going to eat it
all and go to fall asleep?
Do I actually work on musictoday?
(15:56):
Do I actually do what I've beensetting out to do this entire
time?
Do I go for the kill?
Do I take things seriously?
Do I make another episode ofthe show?
(16:18):
No, this is literally the mostmentally draining thing I've
ever done.
I have to sit here and talk andlook at myself.
It's, it's terrible.
It's probably the worst thinganyone could do to themselves,
and I got this extremelyflattering camera angle going on
(16:41):
.
But I wanted the first one tobe the best one and to not be
the worst one, and that issomething to take into account.
Next deal of business, can wetalk about these Canadian
(17:07):
wildfires?
What's what is up with that?
They just be doing this, theyjust be doing that, and they,
they start the fires all thetime, like there's been like
four or five different firesthat Canada has endured, to like
(17:37):
us as Americans, and I don'tknow why we're all just letting
it slide.
I mean, I don't know, theremight be other geopolitical
things going into it, or maybeit really is just some kind of
(18:00):
wild accident that they're juststarting fires over there all
day long.
I don't know.
I mean, what are the odds?
They just start fires rightbefore the new iPhone comes out.
(18:27):
Iphone 17 puts out wildfires.
Samsung Galaxy S37.
Take pictures of the smog in 4K.
I think a storm is a brewing.
(18:51):
If it started raining while Iwas doing this, that would be
probably the most legendarything to happen in the history
of my show.
It's going good, guys, it'sgoing good.
The show is straddling along,we're almost there.
(19:16):
Just just don't click off.
If you're watching this onYouTube, kudos, kudos to you,
okay, because I wouldn't.
I wouldn't watch content likethis, but I mean the, the skull
in the background.
I mean that would keep meinterested for at least 30
(19:37):
seconds, but other than that, Idon't know.
I don't know, I wouldn't beable to watch this.
I wouldn't be able to watchsomething like this, honestly.
So kudos to you.
You're a real one, you're areal champ and you're a true
(19:59):
soldier and it's nice to haveyou around.
Honestly, it's nice to have youaround.
I'm just trying to think.
I'm not trying to block yourview of Mr I don't know Dennis.
(20:27):
I like Dennis.
I feel like that's like anominous desert name.
Looking at that skull thingmakes me want to play Red Dead
Redemption 2 very badly, and itshould.
This is not an ad for Red DeadRedemption 2.
But this skull thing is really.
(20:53):
It's like it's just right there, I mean like it's.
It's in my peripheral.
I can't.
I actually I can't see it outof my, out of my right eye.
This is my left eye, this is myright eye, but I can see it in
the viewfinder, as they wouldsay in the business.
(21:15):
Here's the thing.
All right, this is the thingeverybody is talking about this
week.
Last week it was the thing.
You know what I'm talking about.
This week.
It was the.
The thing.
You know what I'm talking aboutthis week.
(21:36):
It's the other thing that's, um,I don't know.
It's like a uh, a uh, a popstar named Taylor Swift is
getting married to Travis Barker.
(21:58):
It's a head scratcher.
I can see the.
Okay, now I can see the meteor.
Yeah, I won't show meteor.
It's.
Yeah, I won't show you.
I'm not trying to scare anybodyat home, but I can see the
(22:18):
meteor now, Like it is in myimmediate view, like I can see
the meteor hurling towards usand it's kind of, it's nice.
You know, like sometimes themoon is like red or orange
because of like oxidation orsomething like that.
(22:40):
I used, I used to care aboutscience.
I really did, until it becamelike this thing.
It's like okay, like you seesomething, uh, one year and the
next year, it's like theyactually disproved this.
It's like okay, so it just noneof it is is of any.
(23:00):
You know, good use of your time.
It's all just like.
I don't know.
It's all really justspeculation, like, like most
things.
It's like, you know, it's almostlike a gamble.
Um, you know, I went gamblingthis weekend On my birthday, and
(23:25):
I am addicted to gambling.
Uh, wait, can I even say thaton this, Whatever I'm not
addicted to gambling, do notgamble.
I even say that on this,whatever I'm not addicted to
gambling, do not gamble is badfor you, it I actually I it's
like it's like lukewarm, likeit's, it's what you make it like
.
Yeah, I want to go back rightnow and I'm convinced I would
(23:48):
like win a substantial amount ifI did go back.
But if I here's the thing,here's, here's some real science
.
Okay, the Schroedner's catthing.
Okay, it's like.
Okay, it's like, here's theSchroedner's cat thing and I and
I'm not butchering this, Iactually know everything about
(24:10):
this.
So the Schrodinger's cat thingis like the cat's in the box.
That kills it.
It has a 50% chance of beingdead or alive, and when it's in
the box, it's in a quantum stateof being both dead and alive,
(24:30):
of being both dead and alive.
So the casino, a slot machineand scratch-off actually work
the exact same way, where, ifyou don't play, if you play, you
have a 1% chance of winning orwhatever winning anything
(24:50):
substantial, but if you don'tplay, you have a guaranteed zero
percent chance of not winninganything.
Um, and if you have a, uh,where?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
is I going?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
with this if you gotta block the win, if you, but
also if you don't play, thenyou have a.
You are both winning and losingat the same time.
So it's always better to playand get the outcome, because if
(25:35):
you don't play, you have a 0%chance Of getting the outcome,
and that's basically Quantumphysics In it's entirety Is just
like If you don't, if you turnaround, you have 100% chance of
(26:03):
facing the north, but if youdon't turn around, you have a 0%
chance of facing south.
Both directions, then you or ifyou face, if you faced west,
you're facing both directionsSimultaneously and you're in a
state of Quantum superposition.
And that's why it's all A bigwaste of time, because Go
(26:31):
outside and just Play in thedirt.
Literally take, go outside,take your shoes off and jab your
toes into the dirt until yourtoenails are full of, until your
toenails are pressurizedbecause there's so much dirt in
between your nails, and thenyou'll actually you'll feel
(26:56):
something for once, instead ofwalking around telling people
that do not care about quantumphysics and your google stadia,
because nobody actually givesany.
I haven't sworn this wholeepisode Now.
I really want to, but I won'tbecause the first video episode
(27:21):
is extremely flattering.
Is this a little bit moreflattering?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you want me to do?
Be some kind of performativeweirdo?
Is that what you want me to do?
Be some kind of Performativeweirdo?
Is that what you want?
Want me to say Cool beans?
Do you want me to be that guy,person, guy, that's like cool
(27:45):
beans, just going with the flow.
Man, hell, no, I just swore Iruined the episode, just swore
on the episode well.
I think that's good for thefirst video episode.
(28:08):
I had all this other stuff, allthese other news stories about
I don't know the asteroid's, theonly one I remember.
I don't know what else is goingon.
There's like something aboutsome states, maybe it was like
(28:29):
Virginia's like doing thischemical castration thing.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's actuallyprobably not appropriate for
the show.
This is like a PBS program.

(03:19):
um, it's challenging enough.
Um, it's challenging enough.
Like some games, like I tried.
I recently got Demon's Souls Ithink it's called Demon's Souls
and it's challenging, but it'slike, it's almost like just too
(03:41):
hard, to the point where it'snot rewarding and fun as well.
So I had a whole bunch of newsarticles pulled up on my cell
phone, but now it's being usedin the recording process process
(04:03):

could.
If it was cold enough, I'm surewhich I don't know it might get
colder today.
But guess what, guess what?
It probably won't be any coldertoday.
So I'm not actually trying tocover my face, but I don't want
(06:27):
anybody to get too excited.
So, yeah, an asteroid is coming, probably later today.
I would look out for it, butdon't try to stop the inevitable

That's just, I don't know, awaste of time.
(06:49):
But also, is it really a wasteof time?

Next, I'm trying not to say um,but I, but by saying that I just

an artifact someday, with anautograph.
Next on the list list, not thatlist, but on the list of.
(07:46):
Got to talk about it.
It's the elephant in the room.
My instagram haters, if you're,if you've been hating on my
instagram, I am going to roastyou and school you and and take

(08:54):
I mean, this show is gettingnumbers in in all kinds of

you wouldn't even understand the?
Um, you wouldn't evenunderstand the.
There would be a languagebarrier.
(09:15):
I guess there would have to belike some kind of language

rambling of nothingness unless,I don't know, maybe they do that
in other other, other, otherother countries where it's like
(09:35):
they um, they just listen, liketo get through work, they listen
to stuff that they can'tunderstand, like at their job.
Maybe it makes the day gofaster because it's like, well,
every second of this isunintelligible.
So maybe it explains themeaningless, meaningly
(09:56):
meaningliness of my job.
Meaninglessness, meaninglessness, meaning less claypool.
Let's talk next.
Oh, next on the agenda here.
Let's talk about less claypoolfrom bands such as oysterhead,
(10:21):
um, primus, claypool, lennonDelirium.
I'm just now hearing aboutthese things.
The Claypool Lennon Delirium isa side project.
I'm not actually readinganything, is it?
Oh, it's coming.
(10:44):
The at is coming.
I can smell the sulfur andmagma oozing from the asteroid
(11:09):
and it is coming right towardsus.
It's hurtling towards us in afashion I always say that on
here in in a way that otherasteroids would not do, that.
(11:31):
Um, what was I talking?
Oh, primus, everybody should belistening to primus.
Um, uh, you should be listeningto Primus, probably every day.
Every other day will also do.
And the Claypool LennonDelirium.
(11:54):
You gotta be doing that everyday, you gotta be every morning.
Blood and Rockets Movement One,amethyst Realm the other songs
the first album by them is okay.
There's like a Crickets song onthe album.
(12:15):
It's good, it's acceptable andyou know, do it.
Listen to it Breakfast, dinnerand lunch.
At the end of the night, rightbefore you go to bed, play
Metroid Dread and listen to theClaypool Lennon Delirium, the um
(12:53):
satisfaction.
Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
That is the path in steps to agreater and better.
Better life is to listen to thethings I just told you to
listen to now and play MetroidDread.
This is not an ad for MetroidDread, but I wish it was.
(13:19):
It's the end of summer.
You know what that means backto school season and cool season
is over with.
You know what that means Backto school season and cool season
is over with.
So that only means one onething Check out Blake Cunningham

pandora and other streamingservices.

you get your music.
Thank you to that portion ofthe show.
Next deal of business.
Next deal of business.
(15:11):
I don't want to have to talkabout it, but, but Wait, I had
some Genius Thing to say.
Now my stomach is rumbling.
(15:32):
I don't know what to do withtoday.
Do I go get fast food orsomething?
Is that a good use of my time?
Do I cook a home cooked mealfor myself?
Is that a good use of my time,because I'm just going to eat it
all and go to fall asleep?
Do I actually work on musictoday?
(15:56):
Do I actually do what I've beensetting out to do this entire
time?
Do I go for the kill?
Do I take things seriously?
Do I make another episode ofthe show?
(16:18):
No, this is literally the mostmentally draining thing I've
ever done.
I have to sit here and talk andlook at myself.
It's, it's terrible.
It's probably the worst thinganyone could do to themselves,
and I got this extremelyflattering camera angle going on
(16:41):
.
But I wanted the first one tobe the best one and to not be
the worst one, and that issomething to take into account.
Next deal of business, can wetalk about these Canadian
(17:07):
wildfires?
What's what is up with that?
They just be doing this, theyjust be doing that, and they,
they start the fires all thetime, like there's been like
four or five different firesthat Canada has endured, to like
(17:37):
us as Americans, and I don'tknow why we're all just letting
it slide.
I mean, I don't know, theremight be other geopolitical
things going into it, or maybeit really is just some kind of
(18:00):
wild accident that they're juststarting fires over there all
day long.
I don't know.
I mean, what are the odds?
They just start fires rightbefore the new iPhone comes out.
(18:27):
Iphone 17 puts out wildfires.
Samsung Galaxy S37.
Take pictures of the smog in 4K.
I think a storm is a brewing.
(18:51):
If it started raining while Iwas doing this, that would be
probably the most legendarything to happen in the history
of my show.
It's going good, guys, it'sgoing good.
The show is straddling along,we're almost there.
(19:16):
Just just don't click off.
If you're watching this onYouTube, kudos, kudos to you,
okay, because I wouldn't.
I wouldn't watch content likethis, but I mean the, the skull
in the background.
I mean that would keep meinterested for at least 30
(19:37):
seconds, but other than that, Idon't know.
I don't know, I wouldn't beable to watch this.
I wouldn't be able to watchsomething like this, honestly.
So kudos to you.
You're a real one, you're areal champ and you're a true
(19:59):
soldier and it's nice to haveyou around.
Honestly, it's nice to have youaround.
I'm just trying to think.
I'm not trying to block yourview of Mr I don't know Dennis.
(20:27):
I like Dennis.
I feel like that's like anominous desert name.
Looking at that skull thingmakes me want to play Red Dead
Redemption 2 very badly, and itshould.
This is not an ad for Red DeadRedemption 2.
But this skull thing is really.
(20:53):
It's like it's just right there, I mean like it's.
It's in my peripheral.
I can't.
I actually I can't see it outof my, out of my right eye.
This is my left eye, this is myright eye, but I can see it in
the viewfinder, as they wouldsay in the business.
(21:15):
Here's the thing.
All right, this is the thingeverybody is talking about this
week.
Last week it was the thing.
You know what I'm talking about.
This week.
It was the.
The thing.
You know what I'm talking aboutthis week.
(21:36):
It's the other thing that's, um,I don't know.
It's like a uh, a uh, a popstar named Taylor Swift is
getting married to Travis Barker.
(21:58):
It's a head scratcher.
I can see the.
Okay, now I can see the meteor.
Yeah, I won't show meteor.
It's.
Yeah, I won't show you.
I'm not trying to scare anybodyat home, but I can see the
(22:18):
meteor now, Like it is in myimmediate view, like I can see
the meteor hurling towards usand it's kind of, it's nice.
You know, like sometimes themoon is like red or orange
because of like oxidation orsomething like that.
(22:40):
I used, I used to care aboutscience.
I really did, until it becamelike this thing.
It's like okay, like you seesomething, uh, one year and the
next year, it's like theyactually disproved this.
It's like okay, so it just noneof it is is of any.
(23:00):
You know, good use of your time.
It's all just like.
I don't know.
It's all really justspeculation, like, like most
things.
It's like, you know, it's almostlike a gamble.
Um, you know, I went gamblingthis weekend On my birthday, and
(23:25):
I am addicted to gambling.
Uh, wait, can I even say thaton this, Whatever I'm not
addicted to gambling, do notgamble.
I even say that on this,whatever I'm not addicted to
gambling, do not gamble is badfor you, it I actually I it's
like it's like lukewarm, likeit's, it's what you make it like
.
Yeah, I want to go back rightnow and I'm convinced I would
(23:48):
like win a substantial amount ifI did go back.
But if I here's the thing,here's, here's some real science
.
Okay, the Schroedner's catthing.
Okay, it's like.
Okay, it's like, here's theSchroedner's cat thing and I and
I'm not butchering this, Iactually know everything about
(24:10):
this.
So the Schrodinger's cat thingis like the cat's in the box.
That kills it.
It has a 50% chance of beingdead or alive, and when it's in
the box, it's in a quantum stateof being both dead and alive,
(24:30):
of being both dead and alive.
So the casino, a slot machineand scratch-off actually work
the exact same way, where, ifyou don't play, if you play, you
have a 1% chance of winning orwhatever winning anything
(24:50):
substantial, but if you don'tplay, you have a guaranteed zero
percent chance of not winninganything.
Um, and if you have a, uh,where?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
is I going?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
with this if you gotta block the win, if you, but
also if you don't play, thenyou have a.
You are both winning and losingat the same time.
So it's always better to playand get the outcome, because if
(25:35):
you don't play, you have a 0%chance Of getting the outcome,
and that's basically Quantumphysics In it's entirety Is just
like If you don't, if you turnaround, you have 100% chance of
(26:03):
facing the north, but if youdon't turn around, you have a 0%
chance of facing south.
Both directions, then you or ifyou face, if you faced west,
you're facing both directionsSimultaneously and you're in a
state of Quantum superposition.
And that's why it's all A bigwaste of time, because Go
(26:31):
outside and just Play in thedirt.
Literally take, go outside,take your shoes off and jab your
toes into the dirt until yourtoenails are full of, until your
toenails are pressurizedbecause there's so much dirt in
between your nails, and thenyou'll actually you'll feel
(26:56):
something for once, instead ofwalking around telling people
that do not care about quantumphysics and your google stadia,
because nobody actually givesany.
I haven't sworn this wholeepisode Now.
I really want to, but I won'tbecause the first video episode
(27:21):
is extremely flattering.
Is this a little bit moreflattering?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you want me to do?
Be some kind of performativeweirdo?
Is that what you want me to do?
Be some kind of Performativeweirdo?
Is that what you want?
Want me to say Cool beans?
Do you want me to be that guy,person, guy, that's like cool
(27:45):
beans, just going with the flow.
Man, hell, no, I just swore Iruined the episode, just swore
on the episode well.
I think that's good for thefirst video episode.
(28:08):
I had all this other stuff, allthese other news stories about
I don't know the asteroid's, theonly one I remember.
I don't know what else is goingon.
There's like something aboutsome states, maybe it was like
(28:29):
Virginia's like doing thischemical castration thing.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's actuallyprobably not appropriate for
the show.
This is like a PBS program.
This is, like you know, this isa public program.
We invite all kinds of ideasand stuff on here, unless
they're like, don't align withmy philosophy of like Having
