0:13.5 | I was at work yesterday in Vancouver. The wonderful makeup artist on the job her name is Sabrina. She's awesome. |
0:20.6 | Sabrina said, oh, you have a new friend. And whenever makeup artists make jokes about pimples that I have, which they often do. |
0:29.6 | And they say something like that to humanize the pimple. For some reason, my joke back is always to call my pimples Sebastian. |
0:36.6 | I would say, oh, yeah, that's Sebastian. He's been with me for a couple of days and we've gone through a lot together and whatever. I humanize it. |
0:44.6 | So I was wondering why that was. And I thought it's one of two things. It's that I, the first time I said the joke 20, whatever years ago, I got a laugh for it. And it just got cemented as that. |

2:08.6 | Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream. Oh, dude, dude, dude, dude, Shibu. |
2:16.6 | Here's listen to the life is short. I am your recently mind blown host just in long. |
