Oh God. Oh God. Oh boy. I watched him collapse. We were just starting and he just

collapsed. Imagine if that were if you like I I saw him die. I heard man Zooka was on the guest on the episode. Yeah. He really didn't want to talk to him.

Oh no. He was saying before him how much you wanted to get out of that episode.

Well, we've started. Hi. This is the three questions. I'm talking to Jason Manzookas. How are you Andy? I'm good. How are you? I'm well. Thank you.

You you are in your closet. I'm in my closet where I've spent conservatively. I would say the majority of the last year in this closet had I known that I was going to spend this much time inside of this closet. I would have changed things. I would have done things much differently. And what if you weren't podcasting from your closet. Would it would it be so neat? It would be I am a very cluttered person and then I've got a lot of stuff. But I'm very

pretty I'm pretty well organized and tidy. Yes. I can't stop. It's easy. I also to be fair. Inside of quarantine. I only wear essentially the same handful of things. Yeah. So it's not like this is getting disrupted that much. I'm like down. I wear it's like the I wear the same eight shirts pants and underwear isn't socks and I use the same. You know, probably eight dishes bowls spoons and glasses.

And so it's like that's been my whole year. See, I I'm very much the same way, although like the socks. I think I've worn socks three times. Oh, wow.

Just because you know, the barefoot boys. No, no, I just I you know, I wear like kind of like slippery shoes. See, but I wear I also wear like comfortable house shoes. I wear like like a Birkenstock clog. Uh-huh. But I wear socks with it. Oh, wow. Yeah.

I wear socks with it. I don't like my bare feet like just walking around being around outside. I don't like it. I think you may be an NPR listener. I'm a I'm on record. I'm on record is both being an NPR listener and is being like a non foot person. Even my own feet. I'm like hard past. But you know what? Hey, listen, people are out there. They're running around. They're loving those feet. So. Exactly.

They let them do it. Let them do it. People, you know, there's probably a lot of stuff. I meant to that would make people very upset. Yeah. I mean, I'm just looking around your house that I'm just seeing so much of the so much of the erotic art you have hanging on your wall.

Yeah. And a lot of it seems to be you paintings of yourself. You know what I never noticed that but they do all look a lot like you commission these you commission. It's not. I mean, I just, you know, I sort of describe what I want to and it's all the same artist. It's my neighbor. Yeah.

I love the idea that your neighbor just like looks at you through your windows with like binoculars and just paints portraits of you from your normal life. Right.

Using his own feces. That's the real thing. Oh, yeah. I forgot. Your neighbor is like super cool. Yeah.

So you are I heard this from somebody that you've been home a lot like this pandemic is really sealed you in. Yeah, because I am I shut it down. I should it like March. I think nine

last year. Yeah, I was like, you know, I'd already been like like I'll be honest pandemic is my like worst case scenario personally like if everybody has there. Some people are like I'm afraid the plane. I mean, it's going to go down.

Yeah. So an irrational fear. I'm going to be in a terrorist attack or whatever pandemic is mine. So I was clocking.

And COVID-19 even like at the end of 2019 when it was kind of you know moving around in Europe and Asia. So I was like, oh, fuck. And then we did a we did a how did this get me live in Vancouver at the end of February last year that I was like, should we cancel this show?

Yeah. But we went and just to travel internationally, like whatever was February 28 or something was sketchy. Yeah, just to be in the airport, just to be in the customs line like already an enormous amount of people were wearing masks. And I was like, oh, fuck, this is I made a mistake.

I should be at the very least wearing a mask. So I shut it down and have been pretty much with the exception of like running a few air like I basically leave the house once every couple of weeks to run.

A couple of weeks to run a few errands. Wow. Otherwise, otherwise that's it. You know, I go outside in my like in my back on my back porch. Yeah.

But I don't like I'm not and I haven't been like hanging out in the backyard with somebody with people or you know, we're all going to get together for socially distanced, you know, like blah blah blah.

I haven't done any of that. Well, now since this is sort of your, your, you know, your phobic sweet spot. Is there something about it that you're enjoying? Like is it kind of like, is it like rewarding to you in some way?
