THE JEWISH EPISODE
A caller and I talk about growing up Jewish and also go deep into childhood anxieties that may have followed us into adulthood. This feels like the most I ever talked about myself on here maybe.Then we teleport to the streets of Perth Australia to talk to an aspiring zoologist who argues that trespassing should be legalized as well as a guy trying to be more upfront on dates. Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world, with nothing but uninhabitable forests for miles in every direction. Yet people still manage to live there, walk around, talk to each other, and eat food.Check out the full video from Perth: https://youtu.be/iyMZVKj3BssWhat is your WiFi password? I am a gecko.

BEING A GECKO IN NEW ZEALAND
This episode starts with two interviews I did on the streets of Auckland, New Zealand: the first is with a local bartender who talks to me about bad spending habits, moral quandaries, eating burgers, Kiwi life, and more.

I like talking to people in real life because I can look them in the face and tell they are real people. I sometimes think all of the callers are actors being paid to Truman Show me.Then we end with a caller who is exhausted by being the "mother figure" amongst his peers and wishes to walk the universe.Today is your birthday.
