Sit baby, what's the big deal? Feel what you want to feel? Say what you want to say? You're gonna die one day

For example, I could kiss you just because I want to

What's different if you turn away? I'm gonna die one day

Why do you waste your time?

Welcome to another edition of tangentially speaking with Dr. Christopher Ryan, that's me

Although I feel like a fraud every time I call myself doctor

I'm not a guy to come to if you've got something stuck in your throat

Definitely not me, or spots on your genitals

Don't tell me about it, I'm not that kind of doctor

Anyway, the opening song was by Carcy Blanton

It's called Smoke Alarm, it's a great little song

My guest this week is an old friend of mine named Richard Schwyd

Who is one of the more fascinating people

I'm lucky enough to know

Not just because he's a pal, but he's an author of how many books?

Eight, I think

Eight, thanks, that sums it up for you

You write a certain number of books, you know, I've written one

That's pretty easy to remember, but you get the eight I guess
