I love everyone. Welcome back to the Balance Bond podcast, The One Fire. I have some

0:13.4

extremely exciting people with me here right now. Oh my god, they're making me laugh.

0:18.9

They're not my guest for today's episode. That would be Jerry Hirsch of because I'm addicted.net,

0:25.0

which has been a blog since 2005. She's amazing and I'm going to talk more about her in a second,

0:31.2

but I have sitting here with me two humans who have microphones on their lips because I told them

0:38.2

to talk into the microphones very closely. And they go by the name of Jane and Zyra,

0:46.0

younger, aka my parents. And they happen to be here in Los Angeles during my apartment for the

0:53.6

first time in probably a year because they all come here very often because they're not cat people

2:01.6

blonde. She takes after me because I am so balanced in my life. Oh are you a balanced person?

2:10.7

Not really. Does that mean you're calm and you're zen and you don't get frustrated about anything ever?

2:18.4

I'm a psycho all the time. I'm glad you know that. I'm so pleased when someone knows how psychotic they are

2:30.7

which is why I know I'm psychotic. I would never try to convince anyone otherwise. I'm just crazy.
