It's like this moment of like exhilaration and it's terrifying and wonderful.

It's like being at the very top of a hill when you're about to tobogging down,

which always makes me laugh when people warn about, oh, you've got to watch it for the slippery slope.

And I'm like, have you ever done this? It's awesome.

Yeah. for the slippery slope. And I'm like, have you ever done this? It's awesome. John, I want you to start the intro on this one because you've got an extra special

radio voice today. I do. I do. Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast. I have your host, John Williamson.

And I am Adam Narlock. And I have a cold.

You sound like you've got a little Tom Wait's influence going on here, which I like.

You know, it's like a good balance between gravelly and about two octaves lower than it usually is. So I had a friend in high school that was a talented musician and we were all raised in the church and I found out like he smelled like cigarettes all the time and like his dad is a pastor and I was like, dude, are you smoking?

But he's like, yeah, man, I want my voice to get gravellier. It's like, oh. I've had some musician friends who will remain nameless who also tried that same experiment. Yeah, it's like a thing. Like, I need to get a good Kurt Cobain voice, and so I'm going to start smoking. It's like not, all right, kids, not a good reason to ever start a bad, deadly habit. Yeah, seriously. You sound great, John. Yeah, thank you, man. Thank you. I'm waiting for my voice to go back up to where it normally is. So we got a little outside of your voice.

We got a little something extra special today.

We do.

For those of you who have been waiting for some powerful female voices, we have who I'm

pretty sure might be one of my new favorite people on the planet.

Good grief.
