My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Every week, hundreds of thousands of fans download the popular stuff they don't want you to know podcasts to get to the bottom of popular cultures biggest myths.

And now the stuff they don't want you to know book separates conspiracy fact from conspiracy theory from biological testing to our endless fascination with the Kennedy assassination.

This holiday season give the gift that explains the unexplainable the stuff they don't want you to know book available now order at stuff you should read books.com or wherever you buy your books.

Happy Tuesday, welcome to the fifth thing I'm Amy and I'm cat and today's quote is from at conscious conversation underscore underscore.

I guess I guess conscious conversation no underscores was taken and you really want that name.

And one underscore was also taken, I guess.

It is okay to disappear until you feel like you again. Very simple. I like it. It is okay to disappear until you feel like you again as a therapist when you hear that cat.

Like what, what does that mean for you?

Well, I think at first when you read that to me, I was like, I don't know if I like that, but I think you have to like kind of peel it apart of sometimes I just need to take a break. I need to like go be with myself. I need to like take some space.

Self-care. Yeah.

It could be as simple. It doesn't mean like go disappear walk yourself away from all your responsibilities.

And you feel like you again because about once a month, I would totally disappear for seven days. And then I'd be like, okay, kind of feel like me again. What I miss.

And obviously we can't do that. But it could be just stepping away and you know, like you were saying, it could be a simple act of self-care or something to take care of your self versus this idea that we have to always just force ourselves to show up no matter what.

I think that's what it.
