You and I have a friend in common.

Every stupid thing that a writer could do I've done.

I think it's really beautiful.

What a struggle, you know?

It was incredible.

It was like your head exploded, seeing what was really there.

And now here's your host, Brad Listy.

Just one person at just one time.

Everybody, here we go again. This is it. This is Other People. This is Brad Listy here in Los Angeles, California. I'm the host of the Other People podcast. It's good to be with you. Thank you for listening. I have a great show for you today. I want to also say, I guess, before we get started, that I'm sitting in my kitchen.

I'm at the dining room table.

Normally, I try to also say, I guess, before we get started, that I'm sitting in my kitchen,

I'm at the dining room table. Normally, I try to clear the house out. I try to create a little space for me to do this, but there are extenuating circumstances today. I'm trying to wedge

this into a small pocket of time. It is impossible for me to clear the house. So the house is full of people.

You might hear a wailing baby.

You might hear my daughter, Evan.
