Listener Mail Roundup

just remains over in his corner. The mail is piling up around him, and I'm beginning to notice some some unhealthy behavior in this secluded mechanoid. Are you talking about the droppings? Yeah, that's one thing that's happening, Yes, Yeah,

And he's resting a little bit, he is. Yeah. So we're gonna take the oil can out today, and we're gonna have a little bit of listener mail that has has built up, and and we're gonna make Arnie feel a little bit better, I think in the so and and and as a byproduct, will also be able to catch up on some some great listener mail. We just leave so many great responses on Facebook through through our email address. Most of it is wonderful, and yet we're so busy, and there's so the time is so limited.

We don't really get to respond as much as we'd like. We don't get to share as much on the podcast as we would like. So today's the day we are going to cover this listener mail and let's bring on over Arnie. Hey there, Arnie, what have you got for us? Uh? What have you got for us today? You got some good ones that you've been building up? All right? Fair enough? This first one comes to us from Facebook, and it

comes from listener Justin. Justin says, Hey, Robert and Julie just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your Aura Boris podcast today. However, I'm extremely disappointed that a couple of fantasy nerds like you, or at least Robert seems to be, didn't mention Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. If you haven't heard it, there are four teen books, about five hundred thousand pages each. So these books are a significant investment in time, but I couldn't recommend them more.

The Aura Boris plays a strong role, being both the symbol of the Wheel of Time, which drives this fantasy world through repeating ages and the symbol of the main magic users throughout the novels. Again, the series is a major investment of your time, but the payoff is well worth it. If you guys haven't read them yet, I would highly recommend it. Thanks for the great podcast. You have no idea how much it helps my commute and the more mundane parts of my day justin so, yeah, yeah, yeah,

The Wheel of Time. It's a book series I've I've long been aware of, but as time goes by, I feel like I have I'm I'm ever against the idea of engaging and yet another um long and or unfinished fantasy series. I didn't you feel like that. You've got so much stuff in the way of books or even um like television series or movies that are stacking up there. Yeah, it's like, I know it's great. I hear it's great, but I don't know that I have time in this

lifetime for it. We'll see, maybe I'll maybe I'll catch a prison sentence at some point and then I can throw myself at Wheel of Time. Are you not wishing that upon yourself? I'm not wishing it, and myself. It's it's a consolation prize. It's like out somehow I wound up in prison. But at least there's wheel of time. Well okay, alright, so I don't I hope that you

have some other way of obtaining time. But the r bars in case you guys out there did not catch that one that was about the uh snake biting its tail episode, and that was we covered the symbolic aspects of that. Yeah, I was. That's one of those episodes where briefly into the research, we didn't think there was enough there to constitute a full episode, where like, maybe there's just not enough here. This is more of a

a blog post. But then we then we we doubled down, we research some more, and we started finding all these crazy scientific or or philosophical aspects of the subject matter. Yeah, and even a robotic aspect of it as well. Yeah, alright, let's hear from Francis. She posted this on Facebook, says, I loved this episode. Though when I tried explaining the mother having her nephews to some friends that would get together, they thought I had been doped into some urban legend.

Where can I get my hands on more evidence? So I can score my told just so moment. Well, Francis, thank you for for letting us know about that. Um. It is not an urban legend, but it has all the elements of it. Right. You have this mother who had three sons, two of which had been tested to see if they might be a good donor uh for her, and found that genetically they did not match. And so it was found that she actually absorbed her twin, which means that the twins cellular material was passed on to

two of her sons. So all right, there's a study by Margot cresscoll and is called disputed Maternity leading to identification of tetra comedic camerism. So anybody else out there who pulled this went off at a cocktail party, and you need some bad up. That is the name of the study. There you go printed out pass around because everybody wants to read a ten page paper at a cocktail It's an instant conversation starter. And if you're looking to you know, score some romance, no better way. Yeah,

and don't let anybody skip down to the summary. That's just yeah. I also wanted to mention I mentioned this in our last episode, the episode of micro Climira was suggested by listener Shawna, and I wanted to thank her again because I don't think that I mentioned this in the actual episode, and she is the reason why we can all sit back and think about these dastartly things going on in a southernly whether or not maybe one of the siblings cells are dwelling within us. So thank you, Shawna. Cool.

All right, well, Arnold, what else do you have for us? Yeah? Oh yeah, well that sounds like a good one. Let me see that one, Arnold. This one comes to us from Camilla and uh. This is a response to our episode on Staring and Camilla um works in China, which which actually Camilla was actually a really helpful for me right before my wife and I traveled to China on our adoption trip, because I got to run a couple of questions pastor about, you know, sort of cultural things

before we left. So Camilla writes in and she says, great stuff on the Staring episode. I love I loved Julie Stare down with a seven year old, mainly because I'm guilty of that myself, as you know, living in small town China, particularly small town with very few foreigners I got a lot of stairs for being not Chinese. Not only stairs, but pointing competing people nudging each other and pointing out that there's a lawa on the bus.

I'm sure I completely butchered the Mandarin. Uh well, I'm not even sure it's manner because I'm not sure what part of China she's in, But I'm sure I butchered it, she continues after After the novelty wears off, it can get quite annoying. So one day on the bus, this seven year old turns completely around and starts to stare at me. We're not talking about a subtle here. She was less than a foot away and was looking straight at for at least two minutes, which seems like a

very long time when you're being stared at. Usually I would just ignore it. They've probably never seen a foreigner before, so let them soak it up. But that persistent stairs just too innovating, So I decided to let her know how it feels. I start staring back, and almost immediately she backs down. I could see in her eyes how uncomfortable she felt. And I go out on a limb here and say that that's how most people feel like when they're being stared at very uncomfortable, like your personal

space has been invaded, even from a distance. So there you go. That's there's some some interesting insight into the experience of staring. Um. I also feel better about about staring star off with a seven year old, So thank

you Camilla, you know. And I knew from Camilla and just from general reading of prior to our travel to China, that there would be a lot of stairs, particularly when we were in Ending where there there are certainly far in a huge city seven million people, I believe, but there are fewer foreigners, and so we we did receive a lot of stairs there. And it's just sort of culturally more okay to stare at strange giant westerners with

blonde hair. Uh. And at first it was it was okay, you know, I kind of I knew why what was going on. I knew culturally what the deal was. So I'm like, all right, it's fine. I'm I'm an outsider. I look weird. I'm only fall outsider with I don't know were they blewe e eyes green green green, and then kind of blonde his hair. So yeah, so in and you know, my wife too, we both got a lot of stairs. But early on were you know, it was fine. We you know, we realized what was happening.

But as the trip progressed, I found that it kind of grated on me more and more. Not that I was like actively getting angry about it, like stopped staring at me or anything, but I just I felt more and more like I wanted to hide somewhere or go somewhere where people wouldn't be staring. Even though it's not like I didn't feel safe. I felt safe the entire time I was in China, but I I it was, it just kind of begins to irritate you more and more.

Not even irritate you, just make you feel did you feel objectifying, like sort of like us than human or no, it's just well maybe in a sense like in a in a in an unconscious sense, like you just reached the point where you just don't want to be stared at anymore, Like for for just non formulated reasons. You're just like, I just want to be me and be privately me somewhere and and not looked at as an outsider.

So when you got back to the States, though, did you were you so used to being stared at We're like, hey, what what's going on? I'm right here, guys, I don't I guess it's it was in a way it's nice to be on Marta and just be ignored. I don't know,

it's just nice to be ignored. But it was a great experience too, and to realize, to help realize what it's like for people who get stares everywhere, people who you know, how either say unnaturally tall, unnaturally short, or there's something about them, you know, maybe they're just you know, the racially the racial inversion of my situation where they you know, they find themselves, you know, surrounded by a bunch of you know, tall, pale white people and it's

and and they are the outsider. It feels weird. So so it was great experience in that it does give me more insight, I feel, into into what it's like to be the other. Yeah. But as Camilla suggested my my my wife a few different times said that she would just stare back. It's someone who's staring at and she's like, well, if they're staring at me, it gives me full license to stare at them. But I was always too awkward to do that. It's like like that,

because I know they don't. They don't actually want to be stared at, So I'm not gonna give them what I'm feeling, you know, And then you have to engage in their souls if you do that. Yeah, I don't want to make eye contact with anyone anyway. So all right. We got another email on staring. This is from Vic and he said, I enjoyed the recent podcasts in the

Science of Staring. As a poker player, you can imagine that there's quite a bit of staring as a group of guys sit around a small table playing cards for hours on end, many of these guys posturing to be the alpha mail at the table. After yeah, after either having made a bet or perhaps facing a bet, players

exhibit a variety of stairs. Some stare blankly at the cards in the middle of the table, trying not to give away any tells, while others choose to stare down their opponent while their conscious minds try to determine if they're beat or being bluffed. Their unconscious emotional minds are always on the lookout for hints as well. After listening to your podcast, I tried this little experiment. I had a particularly strong hand and on the river. Once all

the cards had been dealt, I raised my opponent. He had the most chips at the table and was embracing the alpha male roll at the table that afternoon, while deciding whether to call my rays or fold, he stared at me. I was looking at the center of the table, trying not to give off any signals that might help him. But I decided that I would stare back at him, but only for a second or two, and then only very meekly. I looked into his stare, looked away, and

then back and quickly back at the center of the table. Certainly, in alpha male would not want to be bluffed out of a sizeable pot. He may have, in fact logically come to the correct conclusion that he was beat, but not wanting to back down from what may have appeared as a weaker stare from his opponent, he called. He called his hand, I suppose right. What I found most interesting was that as he was pushing his chips into the pot, he actually said, I know I'm beat, but

I just have to call. I showed him my hand and he quietly folded his cards. I may continue to use the staring tactic from time to time when facing who I perceive as the alpha male at the poker table, when I'm holding what I think is the winning cand Thanks to stuff to blow the mind for this valuable bit of science. By the way, I vote no to abbreviating the as t H. Keep up the great work.

I love it. See you listen to the podcast and it improves your gambling and your ability well and and on a more a less you know, hilarious sense, it helps you better navigate the world because you're a little more aware about what's going on. I love that he was like, I'm identifying the alpha male. I'm going to trick him into this sort of weak stare. I'm gonna take all this money. The the alpha male stare thing

is weird and is and is the worst. Like I would, I far prefer the outsider stare than the alpha mail stair. I certainly didn't get any weird alpha mair mail stare stuff going on when I was in China. As a side note, I recently saw that there was a study that said that men with wider faces appear to be more aggressive. But I wonder if that's a staring thing, Like if it's staring just seems more pronounced anyway, it's something that's uh I shall check into. All Right, we're

gonna take a quick break and we come back. We're gonna have some more listener mail here with our robot friend. All Right, we're back. Um, what else do you have for us, Arnold? I know you have a you have a lot of mail there. Do you have some some other tantalizing bits of correspondence to share? Oh, here's one.

This one comes to us from Jesse. Uh. Jesse's responding to um some of our Hell related content that has come out over the years, and we've done quite a bit of it, a lot of that's my fault, but we've we've talked about the science of Hell, we've talked about the problem of Hell from more of a philosophical sociological standpoint, and of course we did that whole series on the Seven Deadly Sins. So Hell pops up frequently.

And Uh, I also been talking about Dante. So Jesse writes in from Sitney, Australian, says, hey, guys, longtime listener, first time emailer. I really enjoyed the recent episodes in Hell and was reminded of this fantastic song by a new Jersey metal band, iced Earth. The song is about fourteen minutes long and it's full of melody, complexity, and well metal. It conveys a sense of journey and mystery, and I challenge you to listen to it without headbanging. I hope you enjoyed as much as I have now

over a decade. Include a YouTube link, but again, you can just search for iced Earth and uh hopefully find uh this this particular track. So it was interesting because uh, I love any kind of uh uh situation where a topic that we've covered uh collides with music in any shape or form Alright, so you got your your hell on? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh and I think maybe I was headbanging a little, you know, I thought I saw you your desk doing that. Yeah,

I was pretty sure I have. I've taught the toddler to a head bang a little bit. Yeah, how's that going? Pretty good? He'll do it in the car, you know. He all that the booty dancing came naturally to him, and it's like it always does, but that I had to sort of show him that this is what you do if we're playing Black Sabbath in the car, that you're supposed to move your head and he seems to catch on. See, maybe we should do an episode on the science of headbanging? What is that about? Mash pits?

What's that about? There's a whole like world of metal, uh you know in face melting that it needs to be you know, research and you know how about the hair the physics of the hair? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? And what and how is the headbanging different between the long hair and the shaved head, Like those are the two extremes. You don't see a lot of headbanging in the realms, you don't. I mean, how much momentum does that hair create? Anyway? Yeah? Which is better? And is that? What are the long

term health effects? There's something there and I bet you anyway that there's a study. All right, here we have another one. Uh Wehen when we were talking about Hell, we brought up the the Buddhist Hell theme park in Singapore, And since our listeners are based all over and travel all over, inevitably we had a couple of different listeners right in about it. We heard from a Chin and we heard from young about the theme park, and they both sent us a bunch of pictures. Uh here just

a couple of quick excerpts gen Wright sentences. Hi, I'm a listener from Singapore. I recently became a huge fan of the show thanks to Neptina, my girlfriend. Recently, while I was sandwiched between sad disgruntled office workers on my way to work, I was listening to the episode called Symbols on the Brain, and being from Singapore, you're mentioning of the health theme park caught my attention immediately. That is not to say I paid no attention to the

rest of the podcast. I remember visiting of hop har Villa when I was about seven years old. Boy did it lead and leave an impression. The Ten Courts of Hell was and continues to be the main attraction the now defunct theme park. As a kid, I wrongfully assumed that I was going to see animatronic dragons at this part of the part, since the Ten Courts of Hell attraction was located inside a sixty ft long dragon. Back then, after coming out of the place, I had bed wedding

nightmares for two weeks straight. So the Ten Courts of Hell work something like that. The first Court of Hell is basically the courtroom, and it is believed that you go there When you die, they're a judge called King Quinn Young will conduct a preliminary trial based on your past deeds. The good people get to go get to pass onto the new life on the bad people will be assigned to different courts of Hell. In subsequent courts,

things get a little interesting. For example, robbers are thrown into a volcanic pit, Prostitutes are thrown into a pool of blood and drowned and ungrateful people have their hearts torn out. Drug addicts and tomb raiders, on the other hand, get tied to a red hot copper pillar and burned alive. Other forms of punishments include being thrown onto a hill of knives, sawed in half, thrown into a pot of

boiling oil, dismemberment, crushed under boulders, etcetera. In ha Parvilla itself, you will see every court of Hell in detail, complete with miniature clay figurines being tortured or for your or lack of better words, viewing pleasure. Of course, ha par Villa is way more than that. Hap Prvilla was built in the nineteen thirties by Ah boon Ha, a wealthy

businessman who loved his younger brother very much. Boon Ha grew up a firm believer of Eastern ideologies and values, while his younger brother learned always leaned always to the West. To remind his younger brother of his roots, Boon Hall built a theme park filled with Chinese mythologies, stories, and symbols. The Ten Courts of Hell is merely one of the many attractions in this theme park. There you will also

see traditional Chinese mythologies brought to life via statues. In fact, speaking of symbols, the entire park has a lot of circular motifs built right into the architecture. From the top, you will see that the park is circular, which is supposed to symbolize harmony and the importance of family, a point at which the elder brother wanted the younger brother

to remember. Ha Parvilla gained a rather unsavory reputation of the years due to the grotesque nature of his exhibits and the fact that the statues uh were never crafted very well in the first place. Still, even though not very many people bother to visit it these days, it's one of those places. It's so bad it's good. You just have to see it to believe it anyway, you guys are one of the very few podcasts I listened to. Keep up the great work. I love your show. Wow,

we got an inside tour of that. It is so I mean, that's what my appetite for it even more. Yeah, And I like how he you know, he drew out that there's a there's a lot more to it than just you know, the pictures that that makes falter through to to to Western viewers. Um. I mean, if if I ever get the chance to be in the same vicinity of it, I would obviously I would go, oh yeah, it's a new brainer. Yeah, alright, whether what other fresh

hell do you have for us? We also heard from another listener again, this one came from Young talking about the Buddhist hell and and he just wanted to mention that it was created by the founders of Tiger Bomb and uh and then when when it was when it was built in and it was originally called Tiger Bomb Gardens but was changed to his current name in night by the Tourism board says it's free to enter for anyone and there's even a subway station in front of it. Uh.

It must have run out of funds or something. Because when I visited it was in a state of disrepair, which might actually have helped enhance the creepy nature of the place. The area show different levels or areas of hell and how centers are public punished in various graphic and gory ways. It's an interesting place to go for anyone visiting Singapore, if not for the creepy abandoned theme

park experience, then for the educational value um. And then he includes a number of images which were all fabulous. I love how he mentioned that the rundown aspect of it made it all the more creepy because as a as an Atlanta resident, reminds me of the old What what was the ride at six Flags Plantation Mountain Plantation

one of my favorite rides. Yeah, and I understand they've redone it and it's probably they probably ruined it in the process, to my opinion, because it used to be awesome in the fact that it was falling apart and then there's this musty stench in the air, and and there was when you go through Monster Plantation or the Southern Gothic set up by the way, which is already a little weird, and there's a plantation where there are monsters, and the first part of it is happy, and then

there's like a scary part and then you're a yeah, and you're on a little boat with you know, undrinkable water around you. And the scary part isn't really scary, but the happy party is like super creepy, or was super creepy because of the beings are animatronic, they're falling apart sometimes their metal skeletons are are showing through, and there is just a creepy, uncanny experience. It's like an

old southern lady and an antebellum gown animatronic. And then you go into the scary part and there was a big old sheriff like it's very much like Dukes of hazard kind of and he's like, no, go down. It's good stuff. So there's something I would like to hear for any of our local or Atlanta based listeners or anyone who's traveled there. Let me know what it's like now, because I don't actually want to go. I just want yeah, I know, alright, um, let me see here, Arnie, do

you have something from me? Oh? Thank you? All right. We had a good amount of emails without word of version because everybody had an opinion about it. Either they didn't have a word of version or they did and they shared it with us, and it was really interesting.

This was the episode that you and Alison Ladermilk did while I was away, and I have to say it was a great episode and it was interesting for me to get to listen to stuff to blow your mind and not know what was going to happen right right, because you didn't have any sort of like, oh, I don't have an outline on this. Yeah, I didn't have an outline with those crazy kids are going to cover. So it's so it was a really cool episode. Thanks well,

thank you very much. Well this one is from Nando and Nana says, I've been a listener for a while. I was listening to the Word of Version episode and even though I do not have a word of version, I do have a word that I love saying. Because we also talked about words that we are attracted to, and that word being the word mulch, mulch. I don't go around all days saying it, but I do enjoy it a lot. It is not only fun to hear it,

but it also feels good in my mouth. We talked about that in the podcast to like there's certain sort of satisfaction of its almost like kind of Marble's mulch in your mouth. Um. I think that it's the sound that makes it so appealing to me. Anyway, love the show, Keep up the good work. Alright, And this one is from Chris says, Hey, Robert and Julie finally caught up

on all the podcasts. Just want to say that the Alison episode on word version was excellent and that she and Julie did a great joble Robert's way, my weird word aversion. Comic kaze a good word, but I thought it was pronounced differently as a kid, and when I found out the correct way, I became annoyed. To this day, I tend to cringe whenever I see it. Oh, it

haunts me. Keep up the awesome work. Sorry for using awesome when we talked about that, is that one of the words that kept landing on the list, because awesome is like the word love is far overused and when we actually encounter something or imagine something that is awe inspiring that is awesome in a in a grander sense, the word fails to don't Yeah, you're like that, I

can't use that word. That's really the appropriate word, but now it's been watered down, and I have nothing like an Angel of the Lord like steps out of a UFO and starts handing out twinkies and then splits the earth in half. Like that's an awesome sight. But you can't say it's awesome because you already said that a cup of coffee you had earlier in the day was awesome, and and now that you've had this paranormal twinkie episode, you just can't put the two in the same category.

I can definitely relate with her about the whole pronunciation thing, because there have been words in in the past where like I grew up saying I'm weird or or even like for a very brief time, like when I first read Jurassic Park, I didn't know it was pronounced a velociraptor, and I think I said velisa raptor and uh, and then it was corrected on it, and it's like, I don't know, it's like in junior high or not even quite junior high, but still the word velociraptor, I'll remember,

like that, the pain of having to be corrected on its pronunciation. Yeah, I'm still angry at detritus. I want it to be Detritus just feels like it should be. But I'm very annoyed with the word as well. UM. Got one more word of version. This is from Francis. I was so surprised to see your word of version podcast today. I had no idea there were others like me. There are. I never bring word version up and conversation because of the natural follow up question what words? And

I don't want to say them. They are, for the most part, completely normal, everyday words that don't describe body parts or anything disgusting. But when I hear someone use one, it stops me completely. I have to digest what I just heard, consider the word. It takes me a while to recover. The most mild one that I'm willing to write down is purse. Even that gave me a chill, And that is the most mild of all the words that I don't say. I wish I could do the

sentence thing this was. We invited people to create their own sentences of words that we're we're reverse of um, but it would take me a long time to recover. I appreciated your sentence in the show, though some of the words, one in particular is on my list, and so it made me shiver to hear it. This whole word thing is so ridiculous. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but it's very real, and I can't seem to flip

that switch off. So in the meantime I just speak in awkward sentences to avoid saying the bad words, sometimes very awkward sentences things. For the great show, I listened intently, was really interested in learning more about this word a

version thing. Well, thanks for sharing that with us, Francis that I mean, I sort of understand that there are certain trigger words and you don't want to say it, and so there are certain words that sometimes they're just trepidacious about and I end up having some sort of word salad coming out of my mouth. So I can sort of understand from a from a limited perspective speaking which trepidacious great word? Yeah, it's a nice one. I also like, there are a lot of great words I like,

But what's your most favorite? I don't know, Like I was just thinking gargantulan is a great word, yeah, galgatha like anything like which, remembering that one stem from the other one, like any kind of word that has a kind of a rolling cadence to it. I really like, I really like coalyptiancalyptian, that's pretty good. That's mainly because it means well formed buttocks. What other word could could express such a sentiment? Reminds me cyclopean. I really like, yeah, um.

I mean there's so many, but I don't know if it's really a word aversion or just an aversion to um. Often are reluctance or inability to fully describe smells. And I've mentioned this before. I tend to dislike people saying something stinks, especially in reference to food, reference to cheeses that stink quote unquote stink. If they say a stinky cheese like that tends to get to me because I feel like that's you're describing food, you're describing something that doesn't.

I mean, stink is just such a it's a broadly applied word that doesn't actually convey any meaning. Like an. I think we should use a we should have a better vocabulary for for smells, and and if and if we're going to talk about cheeses, especially in their children around and you you know, you want to foster an idea that that all foods should at least be tried. Then maybe that cheese is not so much stinky as it is, uh, you know, aromatic or pungent. Okay, you

need a team up with the odor artist. Setil told us first of all, yeah, she's very much of the same mindset. So second, you're pinning down a usage thing. But is there one word that just chills you to the marrow? Oh? Okay, what about vomit? I tend to like vomit um. How could you love vomit? And on all the lists, I don't. I mean, I don't like vomiting and I don't like the substance of vomit. But it's a v word and uh, and it rhymes with comet. It has a very like it does have the plose

of consonants going for it. One of my favorite name fictional names is there's a Brian mcnaton's book Throne of Bones. There's a character, it's the King of the Ghoules and his name is vomcron Noxus, which so I love that name because it's taking a vomit and it's taking noxious and it's kind of twisting the words around and creating this new word rawn for chronos in it as well. Yeah, there's a sense of that as well. You know, that's sort of an ancient and godly uh statue to it.

So I tend to really like fake words and fake names in fantasy and science fiction when they're well crafted, not when they're just sort of you know, mindless dungeons and dragons, sort of word salad where you just call you know, some sort of vaguely tolken esque, uh, you know, elf name or something. But I really have a hard time thinking of any word that I dislike just for the sake of the word. Maybe if I, if I think about it, I'll share it in a future podcast

episode with Moist. It's not my go to word, and I know that it annoys enough people that I would probably not use it, Like, it's not really in my satchel of words, but it's it doesn't bother me. All right, Well, we should probably wrap up because I need to go attend to this Moist crevice. Nothing. Well, I know that you're using words you just like in a sentence, so I thought I saw you WinCE. Yeah, well maybe a little bit, but still it's not a not a strong,

not a like a you know, a visceral reaction. So I'm gonna have to think, I'm I'm just gonna have to be aware of myself listen and find that word that. In the meantime, I'll try to drop as many drop as many drop the whole list at me, you know, in one sentence, if possible, I know what I'm doing this week. All right, Well, there there you go, Arnold. Do you feel better? Yeah, you feel a little more

more balanced, a little more healthy. Well that's great. We will have to do this more often and maybe even at the end of of podcast episodes. And if for the rest of you, if you want to get in touch with us as well, you can find us online. It's Stuff to Blow your Mind dot com. That's the mother ship.
