I'm still working and painfully aware of what day it is.... a weekday and not a weekend!

Of course I know what day it is. It's the day before my birthday. What else matters?

i knew it what day it was because some video game updates came out today

Same

you know whats fucked up? I always know what day it is until Thursday. Then I'm like it must be Tuesday or Friday and then its all over and I give up trying until Monday.

Great audio.

Oh, I know the day.

I’m doing what Chemda was doing with Xerxes for KATG week, only for physicians and not on ZOOM but on MS Teams.

Had my first online Seminar about heart disease and Covid on 04/22.

And with my Seminar I mean a Seminar I organized for physicians with a cardiologist as a speaker and I also had an active part.

It went great, but I was extreme stressed before.

There is so much that can go wrong.

Suspected differences between KATG Week meetings and my Seminars.

Ours is less fun, but waaaaay more sciency.
I have to deal with the compliance department and my supervisor, who of course was also in the meeting.

We had less attendance than 400.
Way less. We had 30.

Attending my Seminar will give them certificates.

Way less weed in my Seminar, unfortunately.


Next one ist on 04/29.

Wish me luck.

now that shows are wrapping up their seasons, there is nothing left in my life to mark time. i legitimately did not know what day it was when i answered. it may as well always be Tuesday or the Fourth of July.

edit: new music Friday still happens so sometimes i know it’s Friday, but sometimes i don’t discover that until Sunday.

What's the name of the app that Chemda is using to talk and play with her nephew?

I only know it's Friday because the new episode of Rupaul's Drag Race is one of my few pleasures. I couldn't tell you the date if you had a gun to my head.

"Hey, you're mourning the death of your wife only a couple of months ago and also trying to raise a 3 year old as a solo parent and also there's a pandemic so all the usual support structures for both raising a 3 year old solo and mourning the very recent death of your wife are compromised as fuck ...

... but now it's time to try and be engaging and fun on a comedy talk show ...

... oh and hey ... you can't be in the room where it's infinitely easier to pick up on comedy vibes, you have to do it over Skype."

Eugene is a fucking BOSS.

I know the day of the week and 80% of the time the day of the month, but I couldn't knit that together into an accurate sense of the passage of time until I reinstalled my period tracking app on my new phone.

So... did Fiona Apple buy ad time on KATG?

Apple only, damn :(

I dont think we can believe any of the shit from that "Secret Service" email. It's easy to make that kind of stuff up. Guy with an agenda could easily just say anything.

I agree with Apia, great audio!! So cool to hear from Eugene, and Keith and Chemda's interviewing skills really shone because there were a couple of tricky moments.

Is it going to be easier to get people like Eugene as guests because of COVID?

It is, apparently; A podcaster friend of mine has been cranking out episodes with good guests.

Chemda and Keith did a great job keeping Eugene engaged. As funny as a man can be, with a wife dead of cancer.
