Welcome to the Brandt & Sherry Oddcast sponsored by Fellowship Home Loads to order Brandt's latest book, The Men We Need, or

Distream Sherries Play. The bold and the sanctified go to Brandhandson.com.

Okay, it was school kicking in soon. A lot of younger guys, they looked at me for like a social guidance.

And so what I want to do is a little roleplay if you don't mind Sherry.

Okay, let's say we both go to the same high school, lunch period, we don't know each other.

But you come over to sit down and then I'll show like this is how you, even if you're not a polished social guy,

which I honestly wasn't. No, it wasn't in high school. It wasn't. Amazing.

Yeah, but anyway, I'll show you how to do it. So let's say we're at lunch.

Lunch, yeah. For the lunch period, Sherry comes out and I'll tell you how to start a conversation.

You got to bring something interesting to say, get their attention. And yeah, here we go.

Hey, Brandt, you're in my English class this year.

My body is in a race with itself.

Goodness.

Brandt.

No, there's nothing to fall.

No, Britt, you don't.

That's right. I have 30 trillion human cells, but I also have 38 trillion bacterial cells in my body.

And it's almost the same number of cells.

So it's always going back and forth, more human cells, more bacterial cells.

Young men in high school, listen to ants.

You get a little, do not do that for me.

And then that will open up doors for friendship.
