Jonah, I'm on a lot of drugs.

And he didn't get the practice in college that I did, so.

Hi, I'm Ben Sass.

And I'm Chris Steyerwald.

And this is not dead yet.

We're all dying, but only some of us have been brought face to face with that reality.

However long, each of us have to do it, though, we all want to live a good life.

One with meaning, love, and joy.

And our guests are here to help us do exactly that. And Ben's ass, it's been a minute

since I wrapped at you. And this is an episode that we recorded before. So I want to start,

we're going to hear from Jonah Goldberg. and he's a very dear friend of mine,

and I know of yours. Me too. And when we recorded the episode, you were new to heavy

doses of pharmacological bliss, and I ended up steamrolling the conversation a little bit.

And Jonah and I fall into a very easy rhythm because we podcast together all the time and we talk

frequently and all the big master's jackets, yellow every color i i have i have it all

but so i think this episode lacks a sassy and an appropriately sassy an element so i'm going to

start by asking you this question how are you doing thank you brother uh it is good to be with you i i, how are you doing? Thank you, brother.

It is good to be with you.

I think we are going to give people a little bit of whiplash on this episode

because I think the main body of this episode,

I was higher than a kite on opioids.

And right now, I'm like half as high, but mostly on meth. So life is a little different.
