John, you're under arrest.

Oh, no, don't do it.

I'm an OG Oki Storytime podcast host. I don't care. I'm making sure that you stay here for the next two minutes. All right, I'll be detained for the two more minutes before we get into this episode. Yeah, we got some ads coming up, so stick around. Think around. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

I'm not gay, but I am in love with my roommate.

That's a big subject.

There's lots of kinds of love.

That's right.

I'm sure I'm not gay, but I really love my roommate from college.

He's 19-Mell and has been my closest friend, even though we've only been roommates for two years,

Oh, okay. He's such a good guy that I'm honestly surprised. He's not taken yet. He's kind, loving, and he has two cats from his home,
