Hello, and welcome to cool people who did cool stuff, your weekly reminder that nothing ever changes.

And by that, I mean, people keep doing good things and only good things.

And we do good things because bad things happen. It's almost like the people who do bad things are, no, they're not doing us a favor by letting us have a chance to do good things. But one good thing that's happening is that I have a guest. And my guest is Gabe. Hi, how are you? Hi, it's Gabe from the first one. You'll remember. Okay, I have a question for you.

Yeah. What does a thousand natural shocks mean? Which is by the way, the name of the podcast that Gabe does.

Yes, and my sub-sac. It's from the to be or not-to-be speech from Hamlet. Oh, shit. I feel like a, uh-huh,

okay. He says the thousand natural shocks that flush air to. And I kind of have weird, like, obsessions with different Shakespeare plays for different amounts of time.

Yeah. I will make my case because my association with to be or not to be speech,

besides the only Shakespeare I can quote like five lines of is compared to nothing else I can't

quote anything of. Because when I was in high school and I was in English, me and my best friend were

teamed up to make Hamlet videos. Oh, okay. We had to pick some scenes and make a Hamlet video.

And me and my best friend competed who got to be Hamlet by whoever memorized the speech faster. And I did not. And so I got my second pick of who I wanted to be. So I was a gay male aphelia. Yes, okay. And so I had a very tortured suicide scene. Interesting bits of lore. And we set the whole thing to the Carl Orriff like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
