If you were going to do an introduction to the show, what would it be?

Like just something like, hello and welcome to cortex. I'm Mike Hurley, but I don't want to do that though.

You know? Yeah, it's no good. I feel like this, it's boring. but it's the easiest way to begin those shows because

those shows don't require don't have the same level of editing right so I

have to do something or I'll be talking forever and we'll never start, right?

And then I need to find a random start, but here we can just, something just happens and then that becomes the

beginning of the episode.

It's like, what is it, when you're writing a book and maybe S rests or something?

Like you start in the middle, is what they recommend for writing books.

Don't actually start where you think you want to start.

Start when the thing starts.

But that seems impossible to like to knowingly start in the middle.

Like, how do you know what the middle is if you haven't done the start?

I do this sort of with my videos sometimes

where I'm writing a video and then I realize the first four or five paragraphs I can

just ditch all of them and then that's what I think they mean by starting in the middle.

You often feel like you need to have a,

when you're writing something, like you need to have more of an introduction

than you really need to have as an introduction.

Right, so just begin and then eventually the introduction will fall out of it.

Right. You start writing and then at some point when you are going over drafts,

you realize yes, the first third or quarter of this
