0:00.0	from the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in the wilds of Connecticut. This is obscure
0:12.0	season two Frankenstein. I am your host, your friend, your earlover, your literary mansplainer
0:19.0	and chief and geogenologist Michael Ian Black thrilled to be with you on this snowy December
0:31.0	day. I begin today in some physical distress. I don't know how this happened, but last night
0:42.1	no, I guess I woke up yesterday morning in pain pain. It feels like one like like I pulled
0:52.3	a terrible muscle in a place where I didn't know I had a muscle, which is sort of the top
0:57.2	of my butt, but leading around to my back. And I was I was I was I was holding firewood
1:04.7	around. Maybe that's what did it, but it has it has resulted in many utterances and swears
1:12.8	and groans as I've been hobbling around the house low these past two days. It's like I have
1:19.0	a like just a big stitch up in my all up in my left side. And you know, it is uncomfortable.

2:05.2	the woods. Say we're with the dogs and we're hiking in the woods and she trips on a rock and
2:11.1	doesn't fall, but almost falls, right? We're not even almost falls, but like, you know, does that
2:15.7	thing where you trip on a rock and then you recover? And then she'll say, did you see that?
2:21.0	I could have fallen down and fractured my skull. I could have been paralyzed for the rest of my
2:27.7	life. Did you see that? And I'll say, yeah, I saw that, but that didn't happen. And then she'll
2:33.6	get mad at me because I'm not showing proper sympathy to what might have happened if she had fallen
