Hello everybody and welcome to Part 2 of Barrett Klein.

One of my favorite guests, I love insects by the way and one of my favorite things to learn about but also just such a

fantastic guest so much fun such a great conversation two great conversations so if you didn't listen to last week's episode maybe I'd kind of recommend going back listening to that one first rather than this one you don't necessarily

have to but I'd recommend doing that and yeah I apologize for being late this

was supposed to this was supposed to be a bonus episode last week. I got sick. I've been a little bit of a funk lately anyway. Maybe I'll talk about it later. Maybe I won't.

But I got a cold.

It was just annoying, and it was just like the straw

that broke the camels back and I just collapsed.

I just couldn't deal with anything.

Podcast related.

I've just been crazy busy on the stand-up science tour and

falling behind on some of the behind the scenes administrative things of booking shows and

stuff like that that I'm just been playing catch-up on and have been overwhelmed

and I've been having a hard time getting back into work mode ever since I spent a month in Europe and fell out of all the good habits that I built, had way too much fun and was having trouble getting back into reality and everything else.

So that's why there was part of the reason why there was some of a delay here, but I'm thinking

instead next week maybe I'll do a bonus episode instead

and then since we'll have missed September's bonus episodes maybe you'll get a

couple bonus episodes for October to make up for it feeling good I just

just started working out again I'd fell I've fallen out of, and then everything else in my life seems to fall apart.

I think I'm just at the age now where I can't get away with not exercising, at least to do the things that I'm trying to do, which are time consuming and

ambitious and just require me operating at a higher level and so feels good to get back into it and hopefully
