i'm the father of the year i got hitting my house where did i put the sound first

right over here hey everybody how's it going welcome to the other people show my name is Brad Listy. I'm your host. It's good to be with you. This is the Other People podcast. Coming at you live. No, it's not live. Coming at you from Los Angeles, California. I'm standing in Los Angeles, California. I'm in my garage. I'm talking into a microphone. I stand up

when I do this if you want to try to get a visual of me. I do not sit down. I'm not moving around.

I am standing, though. I have a stand-up desk. I'm in the corner of my garage and I'm looking

into the corner. I have no view. If you've ever wondered, there's a helicopter buzzing over my house

right now. Robin Page is my guest. She has a novel out on Harper Perennial called Small,

Silent Things. And we had a great time together.

She came over not too long ago,

and we had a conversation that I'm going to share with you in just a second.

It's a crazy time to be alive.

It's a dangerous time to be alive. It's a dangerous time in some ways.

It's a lot of nutty...

I mean, not even in some ways.

It's a dangerous time to be alive.

I guess it's always dangerous to be alive.

That's kind of a stupid way to put it.

It's a dangerous time to be alive.

But you know what I mean.
