Well, hi everybody. Welcome to a brand new episode of The Fundamentalist. I'm so excited about this particular hour-ish of chats that we're going to have because it's very relevant to our current situation. I don't know if you guys know this or not, but there's been a pandemic going on for quite a while.

Things have been really shutting down and we're about to open back up.

Things are slowly, the society is sort of peeking its eye out a little bit and poking its head out and saying,

hey, I'm coming back, get ready. And with that comes a lot of anxiety and a lot of fear about

communicating with other people and how to have conflict, how to go through, how to feel like

you're in conflict when maybe you're not in conflict

because you're just dusty.

I know I've experienced this on a personal level.

I don't know if you guys know this or not.

Pete's about one of three people I talk to on a regular basis.

And I was on a hike with a buddy and I could,

I was like I can't make a conversation to save my life right now.

And it was just the most normal, docile, nice, pleasant conversation with a nice, pleasant person.

And I just have to pretend you're on a podcast.

Just pretenders a microphone in front of you.

Well, thank you so much for asking me.

I was just, and I have been having a good morning.

And yes, I would.

Yeah.

And so it's, it's an interesting topic. And it's an interesting time to be alive where we are, we're going to have to adjust, I guess. And so Pete came up with this idea for a topic. And we have another episode as well, lined up, spoiler alert, called I think money and UFOs,

which I'm pretty stoked about.

And so that's also in the pipeline.
