193. We needed this, all of us.

Sometimes it’s late at night and we forget to drink the water. We also forgot to recommend the following movie: In the Heat of the Sun (1994). In a very relevant way, it has a wonderful sense of place and time, conveyed through a coming-of-age narrative set a tumultuous 1970s Beijing.

177. Joakim is in a Good Mood

This episode is obviously a companion piece to last week’s episode, but stop me if you’ve heard this story before. I’m not kidding. If you’ve already heard this story, please interrupt and tell me. I am so very afraid of repeating myself and that fear is triggered here, because I simply can’t remember. Did we already cover all of this? Have we been here before? This place looks familiar, but I’m not sure. Perhaps, to get over my fear, I should tell the same story every week for a year, each time finding a new way to tell it, each time telling it a little bit more boring and a little bit more amazing. Water of the week is Blackberry Lemon-flavored Functional Seltzer with adaptogens and nootropics from Hiyo.

Joakim is having a very hard time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Water of the week is a bottle of Perrier from the strip club on Montecito St. Would it be rude to mention that the lady who sold me this water really needed a breath mint?

173. It’s almost dry.

What happens in the mind of a small animal if you take away his home? What will the honeybee do if you separate him from the hive?
