Welcome to a whole new podcast episode. A podcast

all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt and

I'm not alone. I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden. Katie! Yes. Katie. Hi. What is your

relationship to or opinion of buttons for pushing? Like push buttons. I don't read what the buttons do.

I just push them. Push in the buttons. I remember watching Dexter's laboratory as a child, the cartoon.

Yes. Dexter's a genius. He's got a lab.

And then his sister, Dede, is not a genius, but she loves pushing buttons, like literal

the buttons.

And then she always explodes something.

And I really related to Diti because, like, I, too, you know, when I see a shiny

button, I want to push it.

Of course I do.

I don't want to.

I don't, I, I've learned as an adult to read instruction manuals.

But yeah, I've really got an attitude of like, you know what?

Like if I have a new device, I want to push things and find out what happens.

Gosh, what a good show.

Yeah, and I guess, I don't know, the only other thing with buttons is I like the sound they make.

You know, I'm an ASMR freak and I love it when I'll just like watch a video of someone type it on a keyboard or pushing buttons.
