Welcome to curious with Josh Pax start the show

Welcome back to the curious podcast my name is Josh Pax and I'm your host and your name is listener and that's what you do you listen

On today's show Kim Petrus Kim is a pop star. She's a brilliant songwriter artist and she's my friend

I like having famous friends. I enjoy it

Especially people like Kim who I knew before like pre-fame

Which in theory endears me more to her and because I knew her before

Listen the reality is when people are famous and you meet them post-fame like once they've you know like they've leveled up to the big boss mode

And you'll want to and so will they it just won't be possible because while you're going to your job at H&R block

Um, I did a movie with Chris Hemsworth 10 years ago before he did Thor we had a great time

But you know he's busy being famous and I'm busy doing a very middling podcast at some

Many a few more than a dozen people like and for that I can sleep easy at night

In fact knowing that a good handful of salt of the earth people listen to this podcast well

That's my emotional ambience
