Summary

This week: Jen talks about a found alligator in Brooklyn and laments not being the one to find it, the vulnerability of talking about money goals, not feeling the need to find a purpose in life, and the “life is meaningless without kids” people are now new to self-care and preaching stuff to childfree people who already knew.

1:48.0

So let's just get on. Okay, I am so upset that I'm not the one that found the alligator in prospect park in Brooklyn. Okay.

2:00.0

I love alligators. I have said this many times. Most people don't believe me. They say Jen, but what if you saw an alligator and it started chasing you? And I say, yes, that is fun to me to picture myself trying to outrun an alligator is more interesting than anything that ever happens to me.

2:24.0

But Jenna could kill you. I know I know it could I don't want it to. But let's just say that there is some.

2:35.0

Overlord, I guess you could say God, that's the most common thing people think of.

2:42.0

God, master of the universe divine plan.

2:46.0

Fate. And on that day, whatever day I'm talking about.

3:02.0

3:23.0

And I don't even care if people are talking about me once I'm eaten by the alligator. I fully think I wouldn't know.

3:33.0

But it gives the people mourning me some kind of comic relief. They'd say this is so unfair. But they'd also say, what a way to go. This is crazy.

3:49.0

So again, no, I don't want to be torn limb from limb by an alligator.

3:55.0

But the thought that it could happen does not stop me from fantasizing that if there's going to be an alligator that's found in

4:03.0

Prospect Park, Brooklyn, which did happen last week, it doesn't stop me from fantasizing that I wish it had been me risk and all.

4:11.0

I'm a fan of reptiles. Am I one of those weirdos that has a gross tank in their home and I have an iguana and a chameleon? No.

4:21.0

I want reptiles to be where they're supposed to be and I like to go visit. I've said this before I love a swamp tour. You want to take me on an Everglades airboat ride? I'm there.
