Elicia, welcome to the show.

Thank you, Gordon.

Well, it's an absolute pleasure to have you here.

And the traditional first question that we ask almost

all guests is Alicia were you a weird kid? Absolutely I mean is there even any

question? Well not from me I mean is there even any question?

Well, not for me. I mean, we know each other a bit, so I kind of could tell.

Yes, I was a weird kid.

I would say that my weirdness manifested mostly in my obsession with cats. I was a cat lady from a very young age.

When I was, before I started actually going to school, my mother volunteered at the school library so she would

bring me along with her sometimes and whenever strangers would attempt to talk to me,

oh hi Alicia how are you doing? I would only meow to them? I would only answer meows. So they already knew I was weird even

before I started school. And then that just kind of evolved. I even, I had a cat club I had I invented a cat

language I always wanted to be a cat so yeah I was a weird kid yep that's pretty weird I like that a cat language

and the cat club was that like primary slash elementary school or yes it was and it was with the neighbor kids.

And all the neighbor kids I gave them a different cat name
