Pushkin Oh, Hey everyone this is Talk Easy. I'm San Frigoso and usually this is a part where I introduce

this week's guest but I'm just gonna come out and say it.

We didn't record an episode for this week,

in large part because today, if you're listening on September 9th,

is my birthday.

And it's not like I did anything wild for my birthday I went on

There's a few things I've noticed that I kind of wanted to note.

One, in the beginning interviews,

I really did not know how to shut the hell up.

I just, this is something a guest would talk and then I would talk over them and I don't know what I was thinking. You know, you know, you get better the more you do this, but that's something I noticed.

Second thing, I talk about mortality and my fear of death to a degree that I think is deeply, deeply unhealthy.

And I hope in my next year of life of being a 24 year old person that I calm the fuck down with all the fear of death.

You know, it's probably far away and at a certain point you just sound like a boring
