Hi, Sarah!

After all this time, we're still terrible at starting the show.

I know. I feel like I'm lucky. Are you going to go? Am I going to go? Okay, we're just going to go together.

Episode 303, I think part of the problem is that like, there's absolutely no difference between how we talk normally and what happens after we push record.

Absolutely correct. So there's like this weird wire we breaking it up with like, hey!

But welcome to the show everyone. How are you, Sarah?

I'm doing well. I just gave a nice presentation on sexual abuse and understanding sexual abuse in my class.

That was a real proud pleaser. Yeah, as that subject always is.

The only time that you, when you get nervous, you can't picture the audience in their underwear. Or naked. At least without their consent.

Oh my god! That was gutter-all! Don't think I didn't use that joke when I was presenting too.

That's a really good joke. Oh good! So what do you think? It's my like, you know, icebreaker, like warm them up with joke.

I mean, did they laugh their heads off? It's so funny. I thought, you know, yeah, I got a laugh. Pretty good? You know? Thanks.

Sarah, that's real good. Thanks, Sue. It's kind of a weirdly good transition because I want to talk so bad about the Michael Jackson documentary.

Oh my god, I haven't seen it. Sarah, Sue, tell me everything. What is your feeling?

I mean, if you haven't watched, I think it's called Leaving Neverland. Yes. I do know that. Good night, Irene. Of course, I believed all along that he was a child abuser and a pedophile.

But it is just different when you watch this four hours of just talking. People sharing their story. That is all it is. And yet I could not turn it off.

Oh my god! It was riveting in a terrible way. You have to watch it. Oh yeah. And I think it's so important. I think it's essential viewing for everyone because my sister was saying the same thing.

She knew that it was creepy and that he was weird and he was probably doing this stuff. But she really never knew how child abuse can be so seductive.

Oh, yes. It doesn't always seem painful and the child might enjoy the tension and the feeling your body is designed to feel good when someone touches you there.

And it was this is exactly what we were saying last night. Yes. Tell me what your sense is. I haven't seen it.
