You made it weird with people. What's happening with those? This is teacher appreciation episode number two. I'm very excited to share this with you. I got the idea during this quarantine while education is so important and also so difficult to share a little love.

And a little bit of gratitude with the teachers that have changed my life dramatically. We started about a month ago with the first episode, which was Mr. Brown, my high school teacher. And this is Mr. we never called him that. Mark Stevick, Professor Stevick I guess if you nasty. This is Mark Stevick who's been a friend of mine for over a decade was my favorite and most influential professor during my time in college. He got me into stand up. He got me into writing and acting and creativity. He was such an inspiration to me.

I'm so excited to share this chat with you and to everybody out there that's teaching either at home with their kids or teaching a lot of kids over zoom. Thank you for what you do. And here's a little reminder. I hope that's my hope that teachers and education matters so much and really can make a difference in people's lives. So this is Mark Stevick. It's brought to us by our friends at Charlotte's Web with this crazy world. We could all use some calm gummies. So get some CBD gummies by going to

I'm also excited to announce that Hello, Bellow my life saving diaper delivery service started by our friends, Kristen Bell and Doc Shepherd. Doc's one of my favorite guests of all time on the show. They started Hello, Bellow because they understand that being a parent is super hard. And the last thing you need during some random Tuesday at the supermarket is

to realize that you have a blowout. If you're a parent, you know what that means. It's what it sounds like. You have a blowout and you don't have diapers. So Val was so happy when she found Hello, Bellow and we've been swearing by them for both of Lila's two years now. They deliver high and premium baby products at affordable prices delivered automatically to your door. Seven packs of diapers and four packs of plant-based wipes.

And even a full-size product freebie with your first order directly to your door so it can take some of the guesswork and some of the forgetfulness out of parenting. We love Hello, Bellow. They have fun patterns, 20 different fun rotating designs.

And now if you want to try it, if you are a parent or if you're about to become a parent, do yourself a favor and sign up with Hello, Bellow now. Go to Hello, Bellow.com slash weird, not only will you show your support of this podcast, but you'll get 25% off your diaper bundle order.

And our newest piece, pick is paired with our oldest piece, pick our friends that on it and the makers of alpha brain alpha brain is a new atropic. It is earth grown ingredients that help with memory, focus and concentration for the past four or five years now.

I haven't written a script, I haven't done stand up, I haven't recorded this podcast, I haven't even trusted myself to sit down without reading a book because I know I feel the difference between taking two or three alpha brain 15 minutes before I really need to use my brain and not.

It's not like coffee, it's not a stimulant, in fact you can take it before bed and it gives you some pretty far out dreams in my experience.

But anything that you do that you need your brain for, man I wish I knew about alpha brain in college, it just makes it easier, it makes your recall easier, it makes your focus just hone in and tighten up.

It is my absolute secret weapon, I have some in my car, I have some in my bag, I keep them in the pocket of my jackets, that's how serious I take my alpha brain, I need it and I love it.

And the best way that you can figure out if it works for you is just to try it.

Show your support for the show and try the new atropic that I love and swear by by going to on it, oh and NIT.com slash weird and you'll get 10% off, not just alpha brain but any of the products you see on that landing page.

So give it a try, give your noodles some help, I swear by it.

And that's it, those are the ads guys, I hope you enjoy them, please show your support as I always say and in the meantime, enjoy my chat with my dear friend Mr. Mark Stevek.
