Oh, I've only listened a little bit so far. Of course, as usual, all the laughs. It's my bedtime unfortunately so I have to get these words out of my head before I don't care about them anymore or have weird dreams.

I was afraid my initial thoughts could be viewed as being mean so I asked ChatGPT to rephrase it for me without sounding judgmental. Here's ChatGPT's version of my thoughts 🤓:

"I remember when CJS last appeared on KATG and the topic of his tardiness, possibly linked to ADHD, came up. It was taken lightly, perhaps due to his charismatic lead. He even humorously mentioned his struggles with getting proper ADHD treatment. While I understand the inclination to use humor in such situations, I believe there's a deeper issue here that needs a more serious approach. Navigating the healthcare system to find competent ADHD treatment can be a daunting and often disheartening journey. I've experienced similar frustrations and know firsthand how challenging it can be to advocate for oneself.

This isn't just about CJS's personal struggle; it's about a broader issue that many face. Joking about such matters can inadvertently minimize their significance, not just to oneself but also to others who might be listening and relating. I respect Chemda's observation about the need for medication. It's evident that CJS is aware and making efforts, but this may not be apparent to all listeners.

Embracing one's needs passionately, without feeling embarrassed, is crucial. I learned the hard way, only gaining the confidence to assertively communicate with doctors about my needs after turning 40. It's okay to demand better care and to move on from healthcare professionals who don't meet your needs. I hope CJS, and anyone else in a similar situation, finds the strength to take this issue seriously and advocate for the care they deserve."

Somehow it made my paragraph a lot longer, but it didn't really touch on how I interpreted the conversation as Casey laughing it off. He mentioned that he feels embarrassed when he talks about things he's passionate about and how he can feel humiliated by being serious.

I want to give Casey a hug.

"Surpisingly, a good kisser for however old he was." - Newsy. [Begin music: https://youtu.be/naVKb1Qo6GA?si=kEATmQOYxdvhSw9h]

Taking the chance on a kiss with an older guy is always a gamble. Newsy appropriately described all the potential outcomes. I'll be that gross person in a few years. 😢

Was that worth staying up to post about? I don't know. It's not for me to decide. It's up for others to tell me how I should feel about it. JK. Goodnight fuckers.

“Honey, where’s my Windex?”

I've now listened to whole thing.

These VIP shows really are the best. The dynamic among people feels so much more free and open. I love the recommendation for everybody but Keith (and maybe Newsy although that wasn't really clear). Thats why I indulge in these long episodes (same with Last Week (with Rod &/or Karen w/wo audience)). It feels more like "spending time" with people. Which I totally can see how it confuses some people.

Wowowowow for you to choose that song to refer to mine own heavenly essence. This song (although not this version) delivered me through my junior and senior year of high school. My bff at the time put it on a CD for me of just the most saccharine 2000's techno ever.

I mean if you be sayin it's forreal to be late, I ain't that fussed about it.

And I'm glad you get to be a fly on the wall for the goofiness that I'm considering "free therapy"

Newsy has an interesting behavior around his sex adventures. He tells us about them, we are supportive and interested.
Than, he comes regularly to the conclusion that things need to change. Do they? No one says anything bad. He tries to slow down and gives it up after 2 weeks. Unclear why he tries to slow down. He seems to enjoy the adventures and his partners seem pleased, too.
I’m not sure what I should wish for you! All the sex or less sex? I just want you to be happy!

no no, Chemda is right. Lateness is selfishness when you're making it a CHOICE like that. You're deliberately living in a way where you only care about yourself and your desires, despite any type of social agreement (or professional) you made with another person.

"Why would I want to leave to be early or on time when I can just play video games"

Grow up. Because we're in a society, that's why.

I agree.
My life is so full of excitement that I always try to minimize it. I hate being late or when others are late.

Oh man. Ted Alexandro. I have some juicy Last Week information about him. Stay tuned.

The Keith vs Chemda trash talk on CHU & A during the episode title & guest guessing segments isn't just my favourite KATG thing right now, it might even be my favourite KATG thing ever.
