I swear, Gray, you don't realize how much sound there is in the world until you come to record a podcast.

Oh, I do. I do, Brady. What you think of as a quiet, isolated room that you're in turns out it's not the moment there's a microphone live in it.

Obviously, it's like that all the time, isn't it? And you just notice that when it matters, I'm presuming that the world's not conspiring against Hello Internet.

Hello Internet affects the world. Perhaps the world also tries to affect Hello Internet.

So a while back, what episode number was it? It was episode number 95 called Break Glass in case of emergency.

When we broke the glass in case of an emergency, and I got out a book called The Book of Thunks, which is a book that's just full of thought-provoking questions by a chap named in Gilbert.

And we just leafed through the pages and I asked you some of the questions and then we discussed them. Do you remember this?

I remember that we did it. I remember almost nothing from that episode. Like I can't remember any of the questions.

Now, I'm really worried about duplicating things too, so that's not going to help.

So what you're saying, Brady, is The Book of Thunks is back.

A lot of people wanted us to do more of these questions. We only got about halfway through the book. I'm not doing all the questions.

I'm just doing ones that I thought were interesting. And I got about halfway through the list of ones that I thought were interesting.

And people have said, well, you should do some more. I already enjoyed that. So I thought maybe we should do some more.

I also think this is a good episode for listeners at home to participate in. Brady asked the question.

If you're in, say, a Hello Internet Listening Party, as I just presume many of you are every time an episode comes out, you know, pause the show, get a good conversation going with your Hello Internet Listening Party partners, perhaps at a pony party.

And see what you think before hearing what Brady and I think put down the paintbrushes for just a minute and mull over that question while the painting has a little bit of hay and a drink of water.

Yeah, give that poor pony a break. Do you know what? Before the last episode, you like retroactively recorded a message for the listeners with that same idea. Make sure you pause and discuss it with your friends and things like that.

And I thought, oh, that's a good suggestion by Gray. But then when I listened to the episode, like before I even finished some of the questions, you just blur it out your answer. Like, no, that's all wrong. And so you need to answer the questions more gently now to give people time to pause and have a mull.

What had happened in that recording is it didn't occur to me until after during the editing process that it would be a good idea to maybe have the whole question read before

I'm just going to be able to interact that people might want to answer before I blur something out. So yeah, that's why I'm saying this for the listeners benefit, but also partly for my benefit to remind me because I probably blurted things out because questions were infuriating or poorly formed. That's my guess. That's probably what I would have interacted.

So the only thing was I actually omitted a lot of the questions I thought would make you most angry for those reasons, but I was thinking maybe if throwing a few of them in today just to see how you react. So maybe I shouldn't.

I will do my best to restrain myself really.
