Why do you waste your time thinking about your reputation?

Try to meet an expectation, wondering what they're gonna say.

When everyone you've ever known, it's headed for a headstone.

I don't want to give the end away, we're gonna die one day.

That's the great car.

Sue Blanton, ladies and gentlemen, the acoustic version of her song,

Smoke Alarm, which she performed, just for me, just for this special podcast.

You're listening to the first episode of Talking Out My Ass with Dr.

Krista for Ryan. Yes, welcome. This is a work in progress as you'll soon see.

I've got different ideas for how this is gonna play out.

The backstory, as most of you'll know, but for those of you who don't, the backstory is that

I sometimes tell stories about when I was traveling, things that have happened in my life,

and I get emails from people saying, dude, I wish you should tell them one of those stories,

whatever, but I don't want to be interrupting the people I have on my podcast,

and generally speaking, I sometimes do, and people sometimes say, dude,

let your guests talk more, you're, you know, blah, blah, blah. I hear you.

So the idea is to switch that stuff over to here to this separate podcast.

People who want to hear those stories can come here and check them out.

I'm trying to monetize it. It's $0.99 an episode.

If you want to subscribe, it's 20 bucks, and that'll be at least the first year.

I don't know if I'll have more stories to tell after the first year, but, you know,

it's probably going to end up being a lifetime subscription. We'll see.
