0:03.3

It's going on now.

0:15.3

Welcome to the Story Worthy podcast.

0:19.3

Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hanna Svign.

0:32.1

Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanesfini,

0:36.2

and we're coming to you from Gasslar, Germany, in Lower Saxony. Whoa. Why are we coming from Gossler, Germany? Why? Because that was the nearest large town where my mother lived, and Gossler is where she went through chemotherapy. Oh, that's right. Your mom had cancer and went through chemo. She was in Germany at the time. Yes, exactly. So since our subject is... Cancer!

0:58.1

I decided I would add a little international flavor to our cancer topic. Because as we all know,

1:03.5

cancer has no boundaries. Am I right?

1:06.2

That is certainly true. Yeah. And yeah, if you want to hear my mother's cancer story,

1:10.5

I refer you to episode five, I think. 10, 15, and 35. Yes, no, no, no. But I told the actual story, I think, in episode five. No, but it's a super interesting story, actually, your mother and her cancer. It was very interesting. What was the name of the episode? Do you remember? Was it Milwaukee? No, no, no. That was different. No, it was hospitals. Hospitals. That's right. That's exactly right. All right. So if you want to hear Conniz's a bit of cheer, you can just look that up. That sounds like a lot of fun. But hey, here's why we're talking about cancer, because our guest tonight, Toby Huss, he brings forth a topic.

1:45.2

He says to me, Christine, my topic is cancer.

1:47.5

And I say, okay. You say bring it on. I say bring it on. What can I tell you? As Joe Slopsy, our producer pointed out, sex and cancer are pretty much number one. They're one in one A. Literally, we've had at least 10 episodes of people talking about cancer. Yeah, and then we've also had a lot of... Which just makes me a little frightened that it's so prevalent in our world today that, like, everybody's got a cancer story. Well, everybody knows somebody, for sure, who's had cancer. Or we've got a lot of popularity in the handjob in the handjob realm. Right. No, no, no, but that'll be on the sex thing. I know. If we can just combine that and have someone giving a hand job in the hand job realm right no no no but that's they'll be on the sex thing

2:19.1

if we can just combine that and have someone giving a hand job to a cancer patient that might help

2:24.1

that would probably be good ladies and gentlemen we've got a great show for you tonight toby has he's

2:53.4

and then it's like, oh, I see an actor. Something you may very well have seen today. That was the cat of a piano. And suddenly the cat, as a dramatic moment, decides to step on the synthesizer. That is very much just like my cat. Well, here's the thing with the cancer. I'll say this, Honest. I never really thought about cancer until I had it, you know?
