Sometimes I don't like splitting the hot take in two, you know. But I wanted to explore anxiety. I wanted to explore collective anxiety this week. And how it can induce mass hysteria and mass panic. It's just a part of the human condition. Whether it's in New Jersey right now. Seeing drones in the sky, or Ireland in the 7th century, seeing ships in the sky. The same ship, we're still human beings. I most likely will be back next week. Next week is Christmas Day. Next week is Christmas Day. And the temptation is to not put a podcast out next week you know to take the time off but at the same time this is seven years of the podcast and I'm just very grateful that this podcast is still here after seven years that it's still going strong still with a fuckload of listeners so I think I will put out a christmas day podcast i'm doing it because i know there's a lot of ye that christmas isn't crack for everybody you might want to get out of the house you might want to go for a walk you might want to treat it as just a wednesday so i'm gonna try and do a podcast for those people i might do something a bit festive-y this was not a festive-y podcast as you can tell my voice is fucked again this week by the way i've had my third my third cold of the season so my throat is a bit cunty i'll catch you next week on christmas day you glorious pricks in the meantime rub a dog genuflect to a robin tug at the pubic tug at the pubic hair of santa claus dog bless What a difference a day makes.
