| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation |
| 0:09.7 | inspired by the ancient Stoics, something to help you live up to those four Stoic virtues |
| 0:15.1 | of courage, justice, temperance and wisdom. And then here on the weekend we take a deeper |
| 0:21.2 | dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we explore at length how |
| 0:28.7 | these Stoic ideas can be applied to our actual lives and the challenging issues of our time. |
| 0:35.9 | Here on the weekend when you have a little bit more space when things have slowed down, |
| 0:41.3 | be sure to take some time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with your journal, |
| 0:46.8 | and most importantly to prepare for what the week ahead may bring. |
| 0:51.6 | Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic podcast. There is obviously |
| 1:04.4 | this perception that stoicism is boring, that it's dour, that it's devoid of any and all emotions, |
| 1:11.2 | any sort of zest or joy for life. We've talked many times about how this isn't true, but I think |

| 1:25.2 | There's jokes, even in meditations, Marx really repeats this weird joke we don't quite get |
| 1:30.0 | about how this guy is so rich and his house is so full of stuff. He doesn't have any place to go |
| 1:35.7 | to the bathroom. So even Marx is realist who people don't seem to think as I don't think many |
| 1:40.9 | people would read as funny, actually is funny. And the Stoics love the theater, which is where they |
| 1:46.6 | would have seen comedy, not just tragedies, but also comedy. And that's why I love talking to |
| 1:53.7 | comedians. And in today's episode, in the case of today's episode, we have an interesting quirk |
| 1:58.6 | where we are talking to an Oxford-trained philosophy student and a hugely successful and very |
| 2:06.9 | funny comedian, the one and only Christina Pazinski aka Christina P. You've probably seen her |
| 2:14.4 | many specials on Netflix. You've probably seen her hugely popular podcast, which she hosts with |
| 2:20.0 | her husband, Tom Segura, your mom's house. She has her own podcast, where's my mom's at. And |
