Here's what I want you to know in your mind. You're in your car right now probably around

0:10.6

the subway. That's true. That's based on this to I'm tracking your

0:14.5

friend and most people who listen to the show are moving at this moment in the future.

0:18.9

You're moving. You're almost certainly moving. Not moving like residences.

0:24.1

No, like you're physically your body is traveling it's very transient society.

0:28.9

Yeah, so close your eyes but not so much that you'll be in danger. Close your mind's eye. Close your

0:35.8

mind's eye and I want you to know the David Pierce's dressed as a mother fucking pie. That's true.

0:41.0

Now I can tell you why he's dressed as a pirate but I suspect why. I don't know who is behind this
