| 0:00.0 | Okay, so do you want to lead us in? |
| 0:02.0 | Oh my god, I'm joking. |
| 0:04.0 | Oh, you're okay. |
| 0:06.0 | The Lord doesn't want me to talk about this. |
| 0:09.0 | Controversial subjects with the facts can be tense, but we are a sub-science here to make things make sense. |
| 0:15.0 | Today we're talking about Greg Warr's hyperfixation, his special interest. |
| 0:23.0 | He's going to be leading me through a conversation into his mind, into his soul. |
| 0:29.1 | And we thought it would just be a cute little chance to get to no one another, |
| 0:32.9 | but I'm sure there'll be some science and interesting stuff behind it. |
| 0:36.3 | No, wait, wait, wait, why are you laughing? |
| 0:54.1 | We just thought this would be a fun little opportunity. And then I was like, wait, what? I got to do an episode on my hyperfixation too. Zelda? Don't spoil it. Oh, sorry. Zelda or Survivor? Yeah, those are yours. You would say mine are. |
| 1:13.7 | I feel like I always talk about them on the pod. No, yours is like I was thinking about it yesterday because I was like, oh, what did you talk to your friend about? And you were like, Survivor and then Australian Survivor. And then I was like, actually like it's all you talk about. And in like an interesting way. Like, sorry, not all you talk about, but like you can become exhausted with other times. They bring up other conversations like politics. But it's like Survivor and Zelda you could talk about forever. Yeah. What's with that? It's your hyperfixation. Mine's Rosalia and what we're going to talk about today. Okay. So do you want to lead us in? Oh, my God, I'm joking. Oh, you're okay. The Lord doesn't want me to talk about this. Or it's just so excited to come out of you. That's crazy. Wait, I'm actually, is that like the most embarrassing thing to happen on a podcast? Wait, one second. No, I think you're okay. If it's really bad in the ears, we can cut it. But I've never, like, not that I've never choked, but, like, I'm a gay guy that doesn't choke, but, like, that was so weird. A gay guy that doesn't choke. Sorry, like, when I play sports with people, I notice other gay guys choke. It's called the gay guy choke. And it's like, oh, wow, they're gay guys so they don't know how to like play a sport. |
| 2:20.4 | Wow. Whereas I... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Cacac canceled. That's true. That's true. That's true. Wow. Okay, so this is an annual episode. Mitch is really trying to bury the lead because I think he's sort of like, you do this every year. You're talking about birds and bird watching. And okay, no, I will talk about this. But the reason I just sort of thought like, I think it's a, because I'm not as much of a birder as Greg. Yeah, we went birdwatching the other day and the amount of times you went, can we just go? No, like keep moving. Like I don't like, we'll get to it. But anyway, I just thought like, well, it's something you love. And if we can talk about it in that sort of perspective of like you tell me why you're so excited about it, why you love it, then it's more than just like trying to be like the science of birding. Oh yeah. |
| 2:52.4 | Like that was kind of why I was thinking like it is my hyper fixated on this and other things. |
| 2:57.7 | But this is one of them. And so I was like, okay, I feel like it's an interesting perspective to |
| 3:01.6 | look at it from because of course, anything you love, I love and I'm interested in. And hopefully |
| 3:07.0 | people watching and listening feel the same. |
| 3:11.0 | So if you are in Toronto, we will be doing our annual third annual bird watching hike in |
