BEST MOMENTS "I wanted to be a big podcaster, you know, maybe like Joe Rogan sort of thing, all that money, all that influence." "People will not consistently do who they're not, and I'm no exception." "I decided to zoom in on who I am, by my nature. A geek with a restless mind, enormous curiosity, and the annoying habit of asking why." "Whenever I hear from someone telling me that the show helped them or made them laugh, it makes it worthwhile." "You've compelled me to do the writing and to record the podcast for you."
