From WNYC, I'm Anouche Summerodi and this is Note to Self.

Everything we do throughout the day is trapped, right?

And we know it and we're okay with it.

It's really hard to surprise me anymore.

I feel like the internet's desensitized me.

The tech show about being human.

Okay, today a question from a listener in upstate New York named Michael Grant.

Now, before I play you the voice memo that Michael sent us, I just want to say that this is producer Arionna's favorite Note to Self voicemail of all time.

Just putting that out there, yay, Michael.

And we've been saving it for a while because we couldn't find the right person to answer it.

Okay, I'll tell you who's going to answer it in a minute.

But first, here's Michael's question.

Now, just so you know, Michael has a town car business, so he spends a lot of time driving people around.

Here we go.

Hi Note to Self.

I get out of the shower and I'm getting dressed and of course my dog is over there on his Shaz.

And I'm looking at him and I'm feeling all sad that I'm about to go off to work for a couple hours.

And I'm humming to myself a song and I start singing.

My poor dog is tortured by this, but I start singing a song every time we say goodbye.

I cry a little.

Or I die a little.

You know that song every time we say goodbye.
