Transcript Rocket Was Always the Protaganist [00:00:00] Brett: [00:00:03] Brett: Welcome back, Overtired listeners, it has been a minute. Um, [00:00:08] Jeff: I’m Sam Sanders. Sorry. [00:00:11] Brett: we, we have been, we have been on a little bit of a break, but I am Brett Terpstra. I am here with Jeff Severins Gunsel and Christina Warren. How you guys doing? How you holding up? [00:00:22] Jeff: I wish I was Sam Sanders and I wish he was still hosting. It’s been a minute because he’s phenomenal. It’s still a great show. Sorry. I’m good. Hi, Christina. Hi. [00:00:30] Christina: Hi, I’ve missed you guys. [00:00:32] Brett: Yeah, how long’s it been? We, we took a couple weeks off. I think two, maybe three. Um, we had a lot of, there was a lot of travel, a lot of end of summer stuff going on. And, uh, and we, and we have zero sponsors for the foreseeable future. So if we need a week off, we’re taking a week off. And, uh, [00:00:53] Jeff: Does anybody have like a, like an AA sponsor they could bring on? I’m [00:00:56] Christina: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, or, or, hey, but, but genuinely, if you have, um, a, [00:01:00] uh, you know, a product service app that you would like to get out to an audience of, uh, you know, um, nerds and, uh, and whatnot, uh, hit us up and, um, sponsor, sponsor the pod. [00:01:11] Brett: for sure. I, um, it’s, it’s kind of nice not being beholden to anybody. [00:01:17] Christina: Oh, totally. I’m just saying. [00:01:19] Brett: But yeah, I mean, and I know from experience that people will forgive this show for disappearing for like up to a year at a time, and they keep, and they stick around, they keep coming back. We had a couple years of very sporadic podcasts, and when we started back up, our downloads were about the same as they were when we left off. [00:01:44] Brett: To be fair, In the past, when we were on 5×5, our show got 30, 000 downloads a week, which is very respectable. These days, I’m not going to throw out numbers, but it is far less than that. [00:02:00] Um, it is, it is a fraction of [00:02:03] Jeff: select group of people that we allow to listen to this [00:02:05] Brett: But we have very loyal listeners who, who know us and, and if they met us on the street, they would all be very kind. [00:02:13] Jeff: I love you, Danny Glamour. [00:02:15] Mental Health Corner [00:02:15] Brett: We all love Danny Glamour. Um, uh, so anyway, we should kick off a mental health corner, find out where everybody’s at. Uh, Jeff, how you doing? [00:02:26] Jeff: I am doing pretty good. Um, I, I am doing pretty good. I have, uh, yeah, I’m doing good. I, I said that six times now, which probably means I’m not doing good. No, I think I am. Um, I, uh, I’m, I’m in the midst of, uh, preparing for a, um, Pretty whack a doodle, uh, uh, yard sale of tools. Um, that is, uh, the tools I will be selling cover a bizarre range of things from the industrial to the eccentric and, uh, [00:03:00] and much of what’s there is the result of a, what I, what I, you know, now understand was a, a manic episode. [00:03:07] Jeff: Two and a half years ago, a month long, I’ve never had anything like it. I’ve, I’m diagnosed with bipolar, um, but I, and, [00:03:16] Brett: Type one. I [00:03:17] Jeff: and type, yeah, whatever the one where people go, oh, bummer. Um, and, uh, And, and I’ve, and I now understand what manic episodes have looked like in my life and they never looked like this. And I was obsessed with this idea that I was burned out in my work. [00:03:35] Jeff: And I loved working in my workshop. I have a kind of extensive workshop. I like doing metal work. I like just like doing random commissions. I like, uh, fixing old, old things. Um, and, and I decided that’s, I’m going to figure out how to make a life. Out of this, and it’s going to be funded by flipping, uh, by flipping old tools that I, that I restore using my great judgment, whic

Transcript Overtired 335 [00:00:00] Christina: [00:00:02] Christina: Welcome back, everyone. It’s me, Christina Warren. You’re listening to Overtired. Yeah, that’s right. I’m back. We’re actually doing an Overtired episode with all three of us, which means I’m here with Brett Terpstra and Jeff Severns Gunsell. Hello, boys. How are you? [00:00:19] Jeff: Man, one of those people is me. [00:00:21] Brett: it’s been like a month since people have heard your voice. [00:00:24] Christina: I know. I know. And it’s been like a month since I’ve heard either of your voices. So, and it feels like even longer, uh, because of the various things that… I’ve been going through this summer, so [00:00:34] Mental Health Corner, Part I [00:00:34] Brett: Feels like, feels like we had a summer vacation. [00:00:37] Christina: It does, it does. And, and uh, maybe we should do like a little bit of a round robin on that. [00:00:42] Christina: Like, what did you do on your summer vacation [00:00:44] Jeff: it’s funny, my, [00:00:45] Christina: health corner? [00:00:45] Jeff: my kids go back to school on Tuesday, so it feels very [00:00:48] Christina: because uh, Labor Day, [00:00:49] Jeff: Yeah. [00:00:51] Brett: Um, yeah, let’s, let’s do that. Let’s, uh, let’s kick off a mental health corner that includes what did you do this summer? [00:01:00] Which for some of us might be the last two weeks, but, uh, uh, Jeff, do you want to start? [00:01:06] Jeff: Yeah, actually, mine is directly, it’s not exactly what did I do this summer, but for my oldest son who’s going into senior year, it was the last summer break of, you know, potentially him living in our home. And, uh. [00:01:20] Christina: Last one is a family unit. [00:01:21] Jeff: Yeah, and, and that’s, that hits in a new way or in a new context like all the time and it’s really hard for me right now, like, we are a super tight family and like loose family, but like tight, like we joke with each other, we have good shared bits, we, I think I would say that both of our sons have like a real sense of freedom to bring up any kind of topic and not worry about us freaking out and, um, And we have a dynamic between the four of us. [00:01:50] Jeff: My youngest is, um, is 14. And it’s a balance, right? Like, it’s a balance of these four personalities that have, like, developed even as, you know, we’ve developed [00:02:00] as parents, right? Like, and, and we’re at a point that we love, like, we don’t, neither, we were talking about this this morning, I see people with babies, and even though I’m, like, pre grieving my oldest son leaving, I Do not at all look at people with babies and go like, Oh, if only I could turn the clock back. [00:02:15] Jeff: Because like, I don’t want to, I loved, I loved being a parent at every single stage, being a father or dad or whatever at every single stage. But there, there’s never been a point when I didn’t love the current stage enough that I didn’t wish for another stage. I wished for when they were more snuggly, for sure. [00:02:32] Jeff: They might, like, come into our bed or something, that’d be super weird now, so it doesn’t make any sense to wish for it now, um, but uh, but yeah, like, I’m, you know, he’s looking at schools out of state, um, and that, and I get that, man, I get it, I fuckin shot off like a rocket when I almost finished high school and it was over, um, and uh, so I understand, you know, like, that’s just like a part of… [00:02:57] Jeff: In our culture, at least, like, definitely in American [00:03:00] culture, that’s a part, that’s a ritual of growing up, is you go away, way away, um, and he’s looking at that, he’s also looking at schools closer, but like, um, my actual, like, my mental health corner topic today was exactly this, it’s like, it’s like trying to get out of the trap of pre grieving something that hasn’t happened yet, even though… [00:03:21] Jeff: It’s not like it’s, there’s that thing of like, don’t, don’t wallow in something that may not happen. Like this is definitely happening. Um, and, and

Transcript More Mental Health, But With Jay Miller This Time [00:00:00] Jay: Hey all you cool cats, parakeets, llamas, and alpacas, you’re listening to Overtired. Uh, I am your overtaking host, Jay Miller, and with me are my beautiful co host Jeff Severance Gunsel, and the mad genius of the internet himself, Brett Terpstra. [00:00:19] Jeff: How did you get ahold of our demographic, uh, report? [00:00:22] Jay: Oh, I mean, you know, if you listen to one podcast, you listen to all of [00:00:25] Jeff: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. Hi, Jay. [00:00:29] Jay: Hey! [00:00:30] Jeff: And we do not have Christina here today, although we’re committed to doing this exact same guest lineup with Christina sometime down the [00:00:38] Brett: we will repeat this, um, and apologies to our regular listeners, we took, we took some unintended time off, um, life got in the way, but we also weren’t beholden to any sponsors at the time, so we gave ourselves a break, and, and literally [00:01:00] took a break, so [00:01:01] Jeff: Which was lovely for me, because I came back from a family trip to Egypt and Kenya, and then had a colonoscopy, and then had oral surgery, and then got sick. And so, it’s awesome to have a break in that context. [00:01:12] Brett: that sounds, that sounds like it was a much needed break. [00:01:15] Jay: I was jealous when you said Kenya and Egypt, and then you jumped straight into colonoscopy, and I was like, well, [00:01:22] Jeff: what? I deliberately scheduled it for the week I got back, because I’m like, I’m gonna be so out of it anyhow that I might as well just hit myself with all the stuff. Um, and I did. Yeah. Great. [00:01:34] Brett: I haven’t, I, so yesterday I had two root canals and two crowns. [00:01:39] Jeff: what, yesterday you had two root canals? What’s going on with that? [00:01:44] Brett: well, [00:01:44] Jeff: that a thing? [00:01:46] Brett: yes, apparently so, because it happened to me, um, I had, I had a filling fallout in a back molar and I, I scheduled like, it, it wasn’t hurting me, so the dentist like scheduled me a couple months [00:02:00] out, and in the meantime, decay started happening between the broken filling and the tooth next to it, so I had this like, spot of decay that covered two teeth. [00:02:10] Brett: And in order to fill it, they would have had to drill into the nerves, which is, I guess, when you do a root canal. And so I had a bunch of scans done. I even got a second opinion because that sounded excessive to me. Um, but they’re like, yep, you’re going to need two root canals and then you’ll have to crown them and it’s going to cost you about five grand. [00:02:32] Brett: And so, and then, so I went in to have it done and I had a brand new dentist that I had never seen before and he gave me a total of 13 shots of Novocaine and it didn’t take. It didn’t take. He would start drilling and I would scream. Like, it did nothing to me. And I blame a combination of hallucinogens and Vyvanse.[00:03:00] [00:03:00] Jeff: I’m serious, I’ve learned that because I’m a hard one to get to and I finally found a dentist who’s like, well, here’s what I had to do to make it work, he calls it like the, Winer esque it technique, and uh, I think the needle pretty much went through my cheek. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think the needle went through my cheek, literally I think it did, but, but it was the first time it was ever perfect on the second try. [00:03:20] Brett: I, yeah, it, it did not take, it did not stick. So yesterday I didn’t take any Vyvanse or any of my other medicinal, uh, drugs. And, um, they gave me a, uh, oral sedative that put me in like a semi conscious state. [00:03:40] Jeff: sedative. [00:03:42] Brett: Like you, they like, they grounded up and put it under my tongue and like [00:03:47] Jeff: is this dentist? [00:03:49] Brett: let it, I let it dissolve. [00:03:51] Brett: And then I went into this like very woozy trance-like state, and I was like [00:04:00] aware of what they were doing, but none of it hurt. And, and I had like memory loss when I came out of [00:04:07] Jeff: you, have you yelped this guy

Transcript The Mental Health Corner Episode [00:00:00] Jeff: Hi, everybody. I’m home. Uh, this is the Overtired podcast and I am Jeff Severns Guntzel and I’m here with my co hosts, Christina Warren and Brett Terpstra. Um, and I haven’t been here with either of you in a long time. And by here, I mean a virtual room where I can see you, but the listeners can’t. Hi. [00:00:22] Brett: Hi, welcome back. [00:00:24] Jeff: Thank you. I didn’t, [00:00:26] Jeff goes to Kenya! [00:00:26] Brett: So tell us where you’ve been. Tell us what’s been going on. [00:00:30] Jeff: Um, Yeah, I just, I’m back. I’m a week now back from a really incredible family vacation. Um, and we went to, uh, we went to Kenya. Um, initially like a, we went to Kenya, um, first of all, to stay with my friend Wanja and her partner, Mel, who have a farm in, um, just outside of Nairobi. [00:00:51] Jeff: Um, like an amazing farm. Like you walk out of their house and not only are you met by four of the best dogs in the world who it turns out keep the monkeys [00:01:00] away, okay. But also if you walk at just past their two offices made out of shipping containers, which are also amazing, you’re in an area like, uh, like basically a farm that has like banana trees and they grow mangoes and avocado and, um, like everything you can imagine, including in, in her case, she’s trying to bring back a certain type of banana that’s gone, um, like almost missing in Kenya. [00:01:22] Jeff: Um, and, and so, uh, yeah, so we went to Kenya, um, stayed with my. My two friends who are just amazing people. I met them. I met one doing, um, other work in the past and her partner Mel does this amazing work with this, um, feminist, um, action group in East Africa mostly. Um, and so it was just like, It was just great to be in a completely new place. [00:01:48] Jeff: I’ve never been to the continent of Africa. Um, and I recognized that I was only in a little piece of it. There’s an understandable sensitivity of people coming and being like, I’m in Africa, [00:02:00] um, when in fact you’re in one little part of Africa. Um, and, and so, yeah, we went, then we went to like a national park, um, where should I just talk about the trip? [00:02:10] Jeff: Is that okay? I’m not just giving an overview. [00:02:12] Christina: Yeah, I want to know all about [00:02:13] Jeff: So we went to a national park. Um, West National Park and, and there was a, like a resort there. Um, and we didn’t really know much about the resort. We especially did not know that like, okay, so you walk in, uh, to the entrance, but the entrance is actually like this, this large, um, massive, like. [00:02:33] Jeff: Ballroom type entryway. And on the other end of it is just the same size hole looking out over, um, over the national park. And, and like, so we just kind of wander up to the edge of that where there’s like a dining area and stuff and it’s all wide open. There’s no screens or windows or anything. And there’s like a watering hole that is a natural watering hole, but of course, uh, kept, um, alive through all the various seasons for the sake of tourism. [00:02:58] Jeff: But it’s, it’s, [00:03:00] we, we like, we walk up to it and. It’s like 50 yards away or less, this watering hole, and it’s completely, um, filled with, or surrounded by, let’s see, giraffe, ostriches, warthogs, God bless them, baboons, God bless them, uh, zebras, um, like everything but like hippos, rhinos, and, and lions. And, and they were all so real and huge and graceful, graceful, except for when you ever seen a giraffe try to drink? [00:03:36] Jeff: It’s very awkward, but [00:03:38] Brett: actually, it’s actually physical, physically very impressive that they even can [00:03:43] Jeff: that they even can they get they like spread their legs really awkwardly and the knees look like they’re gonna buckle. [00:03:48] Brett: that their heads don’t explode when they lower their [00:03:50] Jeff: Yeah, exactly. It takes a long time for the blood to [00:03:53] Bret

I can do it because I’m black. [00:00:36] Brett: Um, but yeah. Okay. Um, [00:00:41] Bryan: just popped into my head. Yeah, no, I’m good. Um, it’s, it’s Saturday after the, you know, a week in which the 4th of July is on a Tuesday is one of the weirdest weeks in existence. [00:00:55] Christina: Yes, I [00:00:56] Brett: guys have to work Monday? [00:00:58] Christina: um, I took the whole week off. [00:00:59] Brett: [00:01:00] Oh wow. [00:01:00] Bryan: Smart. We got Sonos. Sonos gave everybody Monday off, so that was great. Yeah. [00:01:07] Brett: I, um, I technically worked Monday, but I didn’t work. Um, nobody scheduled any meetings, so I just kind of like kept Slack, giving me notifications all day, but went hiking instead. Um, I do have, I have a two week vacation coming up. [00:01:27] Bryan: Ooh, [00:01:27] Brett: It’s gonna be nice. [00:01:28] Bryan: where are you going? Are you going somewhere or are you staying at home? Yeah. [00:01:32] Brett: For me, uh, for me, an ideal vacation is doing nothing. [00:01:36] Brett: Um, I, I may be headed to Chicago. I might try to make it to the, uh, Midwest barbecue that happens right before Max Stock. Um, I’m not gonna make it to Max stock itself this year, but it would be cool to go see all my, uh, all my podcaster friends that show up there and everything. [00:01:54] Bryan: Yeah, I need to get out to Chicago cause I, apparently it’s impossible to do [00:02:00] a regular podcast with Alex. Um, uh, but I would like to see them in person. [00:02:06] Christina: Yeah. [00:02:07] Brett: Yeah. What [00:02:08] Bryan: queer is on infinite hiatus, [00:02:10] Brett: oh, that sucks. [00:02:11] Bryan: but that’s partially because Alex has had like so many cat issues. [00:02:17] Brett: Okay. [00:02:18] Bryan: So it’s just been really hard. Like they just have been like dealing with sick cat and so it’s just been struggling to find a time and then Quinn has had to go back into the office. [00:02:27] Bryan: Um, and yeah. We’ll, we’ll get there. We haven’t given it up. [00:02:33] Brett: on our last road trip, uh, l and I binged, um, two-headed girl and it was, it was delightful. I feel like I got to know Alex and Maddie really well. [00:02:45] Bryan: Yeah, absolutely. [00:02:48] Mental Health Corner [00:02:48] Brett: Um, so should we do a little mental health check-in? Are you guys. Prepared to bury your souls for the, the listening public. [00:02:58] Christina: Sure. [00:02:59] Bryan: sure. [00:03:00] I’ve already bared my ass for the public, so why not? [00:03:02] Brett: I’m gonna have a glass of wine while you guys talk for a second. Go ahead. [00:03:07] Christina: Do, do you wanna start, Brian? Guess first. [00:03:09] Bryan: Um, sure. Um, my mental health is, Uh, like in that unsure Okay. Space where, so about a, about maybe a month ago, my therapist and I made a realization or I made a realization that a thing that I thought that I had like processed that was a trauma in my life, I had not processed at all and was still like, undergirding so much of like my, um, you know, like instinctual reactions. [00:03:51] Bryan: And so I’ve been doing a lot of work on like, when I get body snatched back into like trauma land, like regrounding [00:04:00] myself. Um, and it’s going mostly okay, but it’s like, it’s still trying to like, like every, every time I don’t land it effectively, it’s still feels like a big failure. [00:04:14] Brett: Sure. [00:04:14] Bryan: Now I’m paying attention to it. [00:04:16] Bryan: Um, so, you know, it’s in that space of like, uh, I mean I think we’ve got the thing to work on, but also it’s just like really exhausting.

[00:01:07] How to spend 6 drink tickets [00:01:07] Erin: Oh, I thought you’d never ask. I, um, I have a one person medal band called Genital Shame, and I, it’s not o always only me. I toured US and Canada with a full band, like less than a month ago, uh, for which I took off work and it was great. And so I played like to a backing track, uh, and afterwards, um, so I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Paris of southwest pa. Everyone knows that. And so I traveled to Morgantown where I went to college, uh, Morgantown, West Virginia. Um, and so afterwards, cuz you get drink tickets, right? Uh, Brett, you’ve played live shows. [00:01:54] Erin: I don’t know about you Christina, but one of the great things about playing live is you get drink tickets. And so [00:02:00] that’s step zero, um, to my, my fate. Uh, and [00:02:06] Brett: drink tickets did you get? [00:02:09] Erin: so you get six one qualifies. [00:02:13] Christina: That’s a lot. That’s [00:02:14] Brett: That’s so [00:02:15] Erin: generous. So one. [00:02:17] Christina: these are like full pores. Like they weren’t like watering your shit down. [00:02:22] Erin: No, no, absolutely not. One gets you a P B R or similar, two gets you pretty much everything else. For me, it’s a Nette and Coke. That’s, that’s my drink. [00:02:33] Brett: What’s Fornet? [00:02:35] Christina: That’s, [00:02:35] Erin: It’s a, [00:02:36] Christina: that’s like a whiskey. [00:02:38] Brett: Okay. [00:02:39] Erin: it’s not a French drink, it’s an Italian liquor. Um. [00:02:43] Christina: Oh yeah, I’ve had Fernet. Yeah, that’s, it comes in like a special kind of bottle or whatever. [00:02:47] Erin: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And after the show, uh, went and saw drag, um, [00:02:54] Brett: sure. [00:02:54] Erin: a drag show. So, you know, gay bars. Gay bars are great because the drinks are really [00:03:00] bad and they’re really overpriced, but they’re really cold. Like I’m looking for a, [00:03:06] Brett: You’re really selling it. [00:03:08] Erin: yeah. Um, but drag [00:03:11] Brett: have no other reason to go to a drag bar, show up for these overpriced but very cold drinks. [00:03:18] Erin: And I love the smell of bleach, which I feel like most, most gay bars feature and my absolutely not researched. Uh, take on that is probably due to like after the, during and after the AIDS crisis, um, gay bars get this, um, reputation as a sort of den of not just inequity, but also for like, like disease Yes. [00:03:47] Erin: Virus. And so if you make the senses, if the first impression is like, oh, clean, then you’re more likely to feel comfortable. That’s, I have never heard anyone say that. I do not know if that is true. [00:04:00] Um, but I love it. [00:04:00] Christina: maybe. I mean, that i

Transcript I Am Not a Linter!! [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Overtired. I am your host, Jeff Severns gunzel. I’m one of your hosts. Uh, our. Second of three hosts, Christina Warren is in New York, seeing Taylor Swift, which is, I don’t know if there’s a, if there’s a more perfect term than on brand, but if there is, then let’s just, uh, let’s just imagine that I’m saying that word. [00:00:26] Um, and then it, it’s Brett Terpstra, the two of us. Wait, so I, [00:00:29] Brett: I’m the third of three hosts, even though Christina is gone, I’m still in third place. I [00:00:33] Jeff: just, I, you know, I got excited about saying the Taylor Swift thing just to, you know, it’s, it’s not nothing to do with, uh, preference or actual rank or [00:00:43] Brett: hierarchy. [00:00:44] Since you came aboard, there has been significantly less Taylor Swift talk overall, um, which I personally don’t mind. Like it still comes up. Yeah. But, uh, but there have been episodes of this [00:01:00] podcast that have been all about Taylor Swift. Right, right. Longtime listeners will know that there’s a reason that our tagline was Taylor Swift podcast. [00:01:10] Jeff: Yeah. Completely. Yeah, it’d be good. Uh, it’d be a good bit if we just dedicated one of these where it’s you and me to Taylor Swift and we didn’t say anything. We’d have to really work. I think we’d have to do some prep work, but I think we could pull it off [00:01:23] Brett: to, to not say anything about Taylor Swift. No. [00:01:25] Jeff: To only talk about Taylor. [00:01:26] Taylor Swift. Oh. Only talk about Taylor Swift. Only talk about Taylor Swift. Why can’t I say her name? Taylor. [00:01:33] Brett: Shania. Shania. [00:01:35] Jeff: Yes. I was Shania eating it all together. I know they’re very different. So here we are. Here [00:01:40] Brett: we are. Brett. [00:01:41] Mental Health Corner [00:01:41] Brett: Um, how’s your mental health, Jeff? [00:01:44] Jeff: You know, I can talk about something that was just lovely for my overall professional mental health this last week. Um, we’re starting a new project. Uh, it’s a research and evaluation co-op that I’m part of. Um, we’re [00:02:00] starting a new project with a new client and, um, it’s basically many months of designing an evaluation and then hoping maybe we get the contract to do the evaluation. So we’ll see. Okay. Um, it’s, it’s an unusual contract for us anyway. It’s one that is with a, a client that is, um, sort of in the league that we have not previously, um, engaged with. [00:02:22] Uh, and so, um, they do everything in a much more sort of orderly, professional way than most of our clients. Like, we have to use Microsoft Teams, which otherwise I’ve never had to use. Sure. Um, and there are all these other things, like when you submit a budget, there’s a template for it, which is not something we usually have to deal with. [00:02:39] There’s just, there are protocols because this is such a large organization that, um, are unlike anything we’ve dealt with in the past and we’re super adaptable. But like, it’s, it’s very new. So, so we decided we were gonna hire a. A project manager. Um, because in the past how we’ve worked, were like little rogue evaluation groups, you know, two to five of us, [00:03:00] and we just kind of like make do with our combined skills. [00:03:04] But we realized that, um, this might be one where our combined skills and our combined personalities don’t necessarily, um, like meet the bar. And so we’re like, and I’ve always wanted to work with a project manager. I think that’s just like a fantastic idea if it’s the right person. Right. Project managers are like copy factorors sometimes. [00:03:23] They’re so obsessed with their own sort of toolbox that there’s absolute rigidity and no fluidity or flexibili

Transcript I (Git) Blame You [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, over tired. [00:00:04] Christina: You are listening to Overtired. That’s right. We are back. I’m Christina Warren, joined as always by my friends, Brett Terpstra and Jeff Severns Guntzel. Boys. How are you? It’s been a while. [00:00:15] Brett: It’s good to be back. [00:00:16] Jeffrey: Yeah, good. You’re going to hear birds. Maybe because I refuse to shut my windows for audio quality because it’s Minnesota and it’s warm, and so let’s do [00:00:26] Christina: Absolutely. [00:00:27] Brett: directional mic. It’s working [00:00:29] Jeffrey: Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. I also have a cat that has started walking across my keyboard. I, I call him the intern now because he sent an email and deleted another, so [00:00:37] Mental Health Corner: Pets Edition [00:00:37] Brett: You guys want a, a Yeti update? [00:00:39] Christina: How How’s Yeti doing? [00:00:40] Jeffrey: yeah, the old cat. How’s the old cat? [00:00:42] Brett: So like yesterday I took him, he’s getting these shots. I can’t remember what they’re called, but they are supposed to help with like mobility and aging cats and, and they work for ’em. Um, But yesterday when I was in, I mentioned some specific problems he was [00:01:00] having and they were like, oh, this combination of him aging, dropping weight, and then these like basically stool issues, um, could be a really bad sign. [00:01:12] Brett: So we would like you to make an appointment to uh, do some, do, do a consultation, do a full physical, and I paid like $400 for labs. And then we had to go in today and I was literally expecting the worst because like two cats in a row, we took Clovis in because his breast smelled bad. And they were like, oh yeah, it’s oral cancer. [00:01:35] Brett: He has two weeks to live. [00:01:37] Christina: my [00:01:37] Brett: And you know, like this was a shock. And then we took Finnegan in because his meow had changed and we were concerned about like maybe something in his lungs or something. And he’s nine months old and they’re like, He, he’s got two weeks to live. So I have this like, fear of these appointments, but we went in today and they’re like, oh my God. [00:01:58] Brett: Yeah. E even [00:02:00] Yeti’s, uh, kidney illness. Ha the scores have come down. Everything’s looking great. You guys are doing a great job. Uh, we’re gonna, we’re gonna treat a bladder infection and we’re gonna put him on some more meds for his, uh, his runny stool. But yeah, they’re like, you’re doing a great job. This, this cat’s doing great for a 19 year old cat. [00:02:21] Brett: And I was like, oh. So relieved. It [00:02:23] Jeffrey: amazing. [00:02:24] Brett: it was because I was crying last night. I was preparing myself for the end of life, right? And so, like, I kept like, breaking down and I was like crying in front of Elle, just like trying to like deal with my, like, it’s time. We all know it’s time, but it’s mortality and it gets me. [00:02:45] Brett: And then today was such a relief. I have a little more time with my boy. [00:02:49] Christina: Yeah, that’s really good. That’s really good. I know. Yeah. And I know what you mean. Like having like that fear of like going to the doctor and hearing stuff because you’ve, that that’s the only experience you’ve had and like it sets you up. It’s, [00:03:00] you [00:03:00] Brett: Every, every pet I’ve ever had has died of cancer.

Transcript Overtired 327 [00:00:00] Brett: Hey, you’re listening to Overtired. I am Brett Terpstra. I am here with Christina Warren. Jeff is off this week. Christina, how you doing? [00:00:13] Christina: I’m doing pretty good. I’m doing pretty good. Um, we’re probably gonna talk about it some, but, uh, I, the, the day started off, we’re recording this one on Monday, so we’re recording this a little bit differently than we normally do with some, uh, very big media news happening in the world. Like some, some seismic like earth shattering media news, which doesn’t directly affect me in any way at all. [00:00:33] Christina: Um, but it is very exciting for me as, as a media watcher. So, um, [00:00:39] Brett: so your choice, you want to, do you wanna kick into that before a mental health corner, or should we get mental hor Health corner squared away? [00:00:46] Christina: let’s square away mental health corner and then we can talk about all the, all the media upheavals. [00:00:50] Mental Health Corner [00:00:50] Brett: So how’s your mental health, Christina? [00:00:52] Christina: It’s doing okay. It’s doing okay. Um, I was able to convince my mother that Taylor Swift, uh, is, is not, [00:01:00] um, a, a devil worshiper. [00:01:03] Brett: That’s a win. [00:01:03] Christina: That is a win. And so I’m taking her to the concert, um, this Friday. So I’m flying into Atlanta, and then we’re gonna go to the concert, and then I’m gonna stay in Atlanta for like another week, um, or 10 days I guess, so that I can be there for my nephew’s, um, second birthday, and then I’m, I’m coming back. [00:01:22] Christina: So, [00:01:23] Brett: So what tipped the scale? What, uh, how did you convince your mother that this, the witchcraft accusations were nonsensical? [00:01:31] Christina: well I’d already kind of had a conversation with her and then I kind of let it go. Like I didn’t talk to her for a while and then I, when we were on the phone again, I was like, okay, I wanna bring this up because, you know, like, I, I haven’t done anything yet, but, but it’s, I, I can still get tickets and, and, and I, I wanna do this. [00:01:51] Christina: And she was able to, um, I think that that had dissipated, I think that, that, like, the fear on that, she was like, and you don’t think, and I was like, no, not even [00:02:00] remotely. Her fears were about like, being around all these people and potentially getting covid. And I was like, that’s fair, but you know, you can, you can wear, wear a mask or whatever. [00:02:08] Christina: And I was like, I was, I was like, she was like, well, you know, we could go another time. And like in my mind I’m like, not wanting to say like obvious, which is like, you know, next time she tours, like, you might be in a different place in your life where you might not wanna do this. So I instead, I just kind of appealed. [00:02:22] Christina: I was like, look, this is literally getting heralded. It’s like one of like the best tours of like all time, like this is like, this is like a once in a lifetime sort of event. And I was just like, I, I wanna share this with you, so. [00:02:38] Brett: So, cuz like, despite being 29, your mom’s kind of up there in years, right? [00:02:43] Christina: Right, right. [00:02:44] Brett: So you never know. You never know if she’s gonna be mobile and, and so, okay, side side note, did you know that the current season of Sex in the City, the Stars are older than the first [00:03:00] season stars of, uh, golden Girls? [00:03:03] Christina: Yes. And it fucks me up. [00:03:05] Brett: That’s so weird. [00:03:06] Brett: That’s so weird. [00:03:08] Christina: Well wait, well what it does though, is it kind of like reaffirms like, I mean, you know, they called all the golden girls and you’ve had Pi Arthur and um, um, what’s her face? Um, uh, the wo

Transcript Fire the Stage Manager! [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Christina: You are listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren, and I am joined as always by Brett. Uh, by Brett Terpstra. I was gonna say Brett Severns. Guntzel. Uh, would be, which would be funny. Now [00:00:15] Jeffrey: Big news. [00:00:16] Christina: News. Your two favorite podcast host got married? No, uh, by Jeff Severns. Guntzel and Bre Terpstra. [00:00:23] Christina: How are you guys doing? [00:00:24] Brett: So well tired, but good. [00:00:27] Jeffrey: I, uh, I tore my meniscus at, um, at a bookstore, [00:00:35] Brett: What, uh, what, what bookstore [00:00:37] Jeffrey: uh, I [00:00:38] Jeffrey: was [00:00:38] Brett: a bookstore over the Jungle Gym? [00:00:40] Jeffrey: no. Every bookstore I realize is ableist because you can’t get down to that bottom shelf if. You know, if you have any trouble like squatting or bending over or eye problems, whatever. So I was, I was at Dreary Lane Books in Grand Moray, Minnesota, which is right on Lake Superior. [00:00:57] Jeffrey: It’s an amazing, tiny, [00:01:00] independent bookstore. And it is a great example of how good curation can make a small bookstore feel big. And I like to go there. We go there every spring break, uh, to Grand Mare. And I like to go to that bookstore and look at every book, um, just scan every shelf. And I was squatting down to scan the bottom shelf and something July 4th like happened in my left knee and I tipped over. [00:01:26] Christina: Oh no. [00:01:29] Jeffrey: And then a couple days later when I’m home, it swelled up super bad. And I went to, by the way, orthopedic Urgent Care. Right. That’s a thing. And. And that is amazing. And if you go to the rich suburbs, uh, nobody’s there. And so you get right in. So anyway, how am I doing? I’m actually doing good, but my knee hurts and I, I, uh, it’s been pointed out that it’s a, it’s the nerdiest thing ever to tear it at a bookstore. [00:01:55] Christina: Well, [00:01:56] Brett: the show notes, what was the name of that book? [00:01:58] Jeffrey: Uh, Drury [00:02:00] Lane. D r u r y. Like the muffin man. Yep, exactly. [00:02:05] Brett: Yeah, I, I, I figured it’s, I love independent bookstores, so, we’ll, we’ll put ’em in the show notes. Maybe, maybe someone will be like, Hey, I want to go to the place where Jeff, uh, Torres Meniscus, [00:02:16] Jeffrey: Yeah. Yeah. [00:02:17] Brett: if you, have you guys ever been to literati in Chicago? [00:02:22] Jeffrey: God, I lived in Chicago, but no, when, how long has it been [00:02:24] Brett: I have no idea. A while, but I don’t know, at least five years, maybe 20 for all I know. But great bookstore, So quick note from the editor. The bookstore I’m talking about here is actually in Ann Arbor, and I visited on the same trip as I went to Chicago and I mix up my locations. But the reason Jeff had never heard of it is because it’s in Michigan. [00:02:47] Christina: no. The one, the ones that I know, and I know Seattle has some, but I’m gonna be honest with you, Seattle’s a city kind of sucks and. [00:02:53] Brett: has, [00:02:54] Christina: Portland has Powells. I, yeah, [00:02:56] Jeffrey: they have [00:02:56] Christina: say, I was gonna say, Portland has Powells and then in New York it’s Strand [00:03:00] and, and that’s just like the best, um, like [00:03:04] Jeffrey: I was just getting into this wit

I’m in a weird situation where, um, I’m trying to decide if I wanna talk about this or not. I don’t think my mom listens to this podcast. [00:01:26] Brett: I, I explicitly tell my mother not to listen to this podcast. [00:01:30] Christina: Yeah, I’m pretty sure my mom does not listen to this podcast, so I feel like I can. Okay. I need some advice from you on this. All right. My mom saw an Instagram repost of a viral TikTok, saw some other things where people have posted imagery from Taylor Swift’s concerts, like the current one. And she called me very upset, telling me that, um, she’d hoped I hadn’t already bought tickets [00:02:00] for us in Atlanta because, um, she’s concerned that, that Taylor Swift is, is promoting, um, uh, satanism and, uh, and, and, and, and, and, and like witching, like, like Wiccan shit. [00:02:13] Christina: Like, like, like, like that stuff. Because apparently there is like a moment of the show that has some like kind of illusions to. Like, I guess 17th century, 18th century, like witchcraft sort of stuff. And some woman on TikTok, uh, is, is convinced that, that it’s, it’s all a sign and, and talking about all these things. [00:02:38] Christina: And, um, I tried to like convince her otherwise, but I haven’t really talked to her since that happened. And, um, you have more experience with this than I do. [00:02:51] Brett: Yeah. [00:02:52] Christina: How does one convince their parents that someone is not a satanist? [00:02:56] Brett: it depends on how reasonable their parents are [00:02:59] Christina: Okay.[00:03:00] [00:03:00] Brett: as far as I know. Your mom’s a pretty reasonable [00:03:02] Christina: She’s incredibly reasonable. Yeah. But I also like, don’t want her to be uncomfortable, but like, I, I also, this is like, just this is not true. [00:03:09] Brett: right. Well, so like

Yeah, I was gonna say, we’re already recording. So, and honestly, I don’t even want you to edit this out because this is just, this is, this is what happens when Brett isn’t here. [00:00:10] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:15] Christina: You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren. Joined, joined by, uh, Jeff Severns Guntzel, former M MSNBC star, Jeff Severns Guntzel. Uh, gonna have that linked in in the show [00:00:26] Jeffrey: They gave Chris Hayes my spot. [00:00:28] Christina: I mean, honestly, you were robbed. Um, uh, because I, I, I really, I would’ve rather watched you with your indignant, um, like consternation at the prop wish guy. [00:00:41] Jeff’s Punk Rock to Iraq Origin Story [00:00:41] Jeffrey: I sent my co-hosts a video from 2003 in the lead up to the Iraq War. And I had been working with an anti-war organization and had been traveling back and forth to Iraq before that, before we knew there would ever even be any kind of war. Couldn’t even imagine. Um, and I [00:01:00] got to go on TV to be a person who has gone back and forth to Iraq and this was an MSNBC appearance that was so incredibly unsatisfying as those things I’m sure always are for anybody who truly cares about what they’re saying. [00:01:16] Jeffrey: It isn’t just doing it cuz it’s their job, you know, which is another kind of fun. Um, but you know, the thing that I, uh, we’ll, we’ll link to this, but as I look at that younger, younger me that like baby baby me, um, the two things I noticed that I still relate to is this sort of brooding. Stare a little bit down, but not all the way down. [00:01:41] Jeffrey: And then I’m sw, I’m swiveling back and forth in my chair. [00:01:47] Christina: That. [00:01:47] Jeffrey: it was so that, that stuff was so hard for me because the, you know, TV and radio wanted to talk about the politics of it and the [00:02:00] optics of it and all of that stuff. And like as someone who had been traveling back and forth to Iraq, primarily from 1998 to 2001, but then still worked for an organization that sent people to Iraq. [00:02:11] Jeffrey: Like, it was like, you couldn’t, this wasn’t a good sound bite, but like, I don’t want this war cuz I don’t want my friends to die. You know, like, [00:02:23] Christina: But you, but you were actually focused, you were actually concerned about the people on the ground, which is the part that people claim to care about, but it’s the thing that gets the least amount of attention. Like, you’ll have your one-off stories, you know, profiling this or that thing, and people will read it and like, oh, this is terrible, and move on. [00:02:37] Christina: But they, but, but, but it’s, it’s always framed in like the larger geopolitical terms, which on the one hand makes sense because I think if you had to focus on those smaller things, a, it would just be impossible to watch and, and impossible

[00:00:51] Brett: Yeah. Why was that? [00:00:52] Jeff: I don’t know. Because you’re trying to be discreet, I assume, but instead you’re.

I’m Christina Warren, and I’m joined by my great friends, Brett Terpstra and Jeff Severns Guntzel, and, um, I’m back. I, I was, I was in Los Angeles and then Sandy, Utah. So, um, I’m, I’m back and I’m glad to be [00:00:25] Jeffrey: Sandy, Utah. [00:00:30] Christina: It [00:00:31] Brett: Who doesn’t love you? [00:00:33] Christina: I mean, look, it is beautiful. Like even the airport, which is, you know, uh, recently been, been like, basically they raised it and, and, um, it looks great. Like you see the mountains and it’s a beautiful place. But the problem with going to a conference in Sandy is there’s like nothing out there. [00:00:48] Christina: It’s, it’s just like Baron like, [00:00:51] Brett: that actually the name of a city? I just thought you meant Sandy, like Utah [00:00:55] Christina: no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry, sorry. No, no. To be clear, that, [00:01:00] that that was not an adjective, that was actually the name of, of, of the, of the town I was in. Yeah. [00:01:07] Brett: Sandy, Utah. [00:01:08] Jeffrey: San [00:01:09] Brett: What’s the big mountain bike destination in Utah?

Uh, and, and if I’d been there for like, to go skiing or something, then that, that might maybe would’ve been different. I was there for Dev Day Salt Lake City, uh, which again took place in Sandy. Um, and, uh, I think is because it was close to where some businesses were. [00:01:55] Christina: But, um, my only other experience with Utah has been in Park [00:02:00] City, uh, for Sundance. And so this was not Sundance, let’s just say that. [00:02:05] Brett: Sure. Yeah. When I was a Mormon. kidding.

Hello, Brett. [00:00:17] Brett: Hello, Jeff. Um, I had a dream. Last night that we had already recorded, or like I, we did, we did the recording in my dream. Uh, so I have already spent in dream time. I have already spent an hour talking to you, um, in, in which almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong. There were crashes and restarts and like we started, and I forgot to say who was doing the intro. [00:00:43] Brett: So there’s this whole like, garbled thing at the beginning and then I swore I swore right away because I recently read that. Uh, and it doesn’t matter for us cause we don’t monetize on YouTube. But on YouTube, if you drop the F-bomb in the first 15 seconds [00:01:00] of your video, according to the new profanity rules, you get demonetized. [00:01:06] Jeff: Wow. [00:01:07] Brett: And you can, you can use the FBO after that. Um, as long as it’s not, I can’t remember how they phrase it, but like, it was like, don’t do it too much. Um, and don’t put it in your screenshots, your, like your thumbnail image. Um, there’s all these new profanity rules, but they’re actually laxer than what they had before. [00:01:27] Brett: Now, now you can say the FBO and still get partially monetized. Anyway, like that was on my mind. So in the dream [00:01:35] Jeff: Yeah. [00:01:36] Brett: dream, I was intentionally not swearing. [00:01:39] Jeff: That’s amazing, [00:01:40] Brett: Yeah. [00:01:42] Jeff: Well, it’s too bad we can’t access that file somehow. [00:01:44] Brett: I know. We could save a lot of time. [00:01:46] Jeff: We could, [00:01:47] Brett: Have a real, really trippy episode. It was, it got weird. It got weird. [00:01:53] Jeff: Well, let’s see what happens in, uh, in real life. [00:01:56] Mental Health Corner [00:01:56] Brett: Yeah. So, uh, so we’re gonna [00:02:00] reinstate after a couple weeks off, uh, the mental health corner. Would you like, would you like to kick off the, the season? We should start season four soon. Um, [00:02:12] Jeff: Season three was like five episodes. [00:02:14] Brett: was it, I thought it was like 20, it was 20 episodes. We’re on, this [00:02:18] Jeff: Really? Oh yeah. It’s three 20. Oh my God. See, this’ll, this ties into my mental health check-in [00:02:23] Brett: All right. Go for it. [00:02:25] Jeff: Um, I don’t know. I think it’s just that I’m trying to do too much, but my sense of space and time is really messed up. Like it wasn’t good to begin with, but I’ll be in a conversation. [00:02:39] Jeff: It was just in a conversation with my wife actually. I was like, well, we talked about that on Friday. She’s like, eh, it was Monday. I was like, oh, Uhhuh. Okay. Got it. And that’s not just being like a stupid sitcom husband. It’s like . It’s like, [00:02:51] Brett: mean that’s, that’s a common ADHD symptom, like time dilation and, yeah. [00:02:58] Jeff: But it’s, it, it’s been really, [00:03:00] really hard the last couple weeks. I mean, um, and I think it is, I’m trying to do too much. I’m doing a lot in the house. I’m doing a lot at work. Um, there’s a lot of sort of, at work, especially, I’m wrapping up a five year project, which is gonna take a few months, but it’s like, there’s just a lot of feelings around that.

Transcript ot320 [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Brett: Hi, this is Brett Terpstra. You know me. Um, this is episode two of our very special series. What was it? A very special episode. Isn’t that like Hallmark channel? Um, um, I am here again with Jeff Severances Council and Christina Warren. And we are going to, we’re we’re gonna offer, we’re gonna ask some, um, Hopefully open-ended questions that will lead to some really fun discussions. [00:00:34] On Mastodon [00:00:34] Brett: The last episode went great. I think, uh, this was, this was Jeff’s brainchild. I’m, I’m very impressed with how it’s going so far. Um, before we roll into the new interview questions, I did have one topic, um, especially for Christina, but I’m curious about Jeff’s input on this as well. Um, Mastodon, uh, I. I didn’t run away from Twitter when [00:01:00] Elon just completely royally fucked it. Um, I have, I have 13,000 followers there. I have a good community. I feel, um, I feel heard there and, and that’s hard for me to leave behind. But the fact is it has become truly a, a wasteland. Um, and all of the sudden, like I set up a Macedon instance. Maybe a year ago. Um, and all of a sudden I started getting enough followers that I started following back. That my timeline got interesting to the, to the point where I check Macedon before Twitter. Now Twitter has become kind of a, a secondary, I’ll just see what’s there, where that used to be, what Macedon was. I’d check it like maybe every three or four days and respond to queries there. But I hit like this critical mass. I, I’m up to almost 2000 followers and I follow about. [00:02:00] Maybe 350 people. And that was like a magic number. All of a sudden, Macedon got really interesting for me. Um, I, I was getting more interaction from a post there than I have on Twitter for a long time, and I was finding more interesting articles and more links and more funny jokes. And like Macedon suddenly became a thing for me. Uh, like this just happened in the last couple weeks. Um, ivory came out and, and th there’s honestly a great ecosystem of apps, Mona Ice cubes, like, uh, toot, uh, there’re just, there are so many good Mastodon apps. It feels like the early days of Twitter, uh, when Twitter was a little more. Before the invention of the hashtag, you guys remember that, like that era when Twitter was still figuring out what it was. And I feel like that’s where we’re at with Macedon. So I’m curious, [00:03:00] uh, how, what your guys’ current perspective on Macedon is, uh, how your, your follower accounts are going. Um, is it, is it replacing Twitter for you? [00:03:13] Christina: Yeah. So for me it’s getting there. I’m, I’m still in this weird place and I’m actually, so, and this is what’s frustrating because Twitter may or may not be shutting down the, or changing the terms of the developer api, which will make this difficult. But I’m still in this weird place where like, I kind of have to use both because I have a master, really large audience on Macedon, uh, relatively speaking, like I’ve got almost 13,000 followers now. So I have more than 10% of my Twitter followers are now on Macedon. And I find that the engagement is a lot better. I think a, because frankly it’s, it’s a smaller audience, so more people, even though I have like. Fewer followers because like the pool of Macedon users is smaller. Like more people see y

Um, so I am here with Jeff Severance Gunzel and Christina Warren, and we are going to do two episodes where each of us takes a turn, asking a kind of, we’ll say, creative open-ended interview question. Uh, and the other two then answer. And I, I assume we’ll end up answering our own question too, because someone will say, well, yeah, but what about you? What do you think? Um, so we are going to forego the mental health corner this week. I feel like our answers will probably give you a good insight into our mental health. [00:00:52] Jeff: now and, and past. [00:00:54] Brett: And we have, we have some questions about apps and technologies that I think will [00:01:00] satisfy the need for a gratitude segment. Uh, so without further ado, let’s, uh, let’s get into the, the q and a time. I should before. Okay. No, let’s warm up. Let’s warm up a little. [00:01:14] Jeff: Let’s warm up a little, do some stretches or something, [00:01:17] Brett: Yeah. Yeah. Some jumping jacks, calisthenics, I think they call it some verbal calisthenics. [00:01:26] Jeff: I’m good. I, I took my son to a college tour yesterday, um, as somebody who did not go to college that was super novel. It’s the second time I’ve done that. Um, we’ll do more and, uh, it’s fun. It’s fun. Kind of one of those things that makes you feel old, but in a good way. [00:01:46] Brett: How are you, Christina? [00:01:48] Christina: Well, I’m tired. Um, although I’m like gonna be completely awake and, and happy to do this, I, um, I had like two hours of sleep. And then I had a really weird, like, lucid dream where I [00:02:00] thought that we were recording a little bit later than we were. Um, but I also watched that, uh, that Murda family, uh, murders, uh, uh, Netflix series because of the, the Alec Murda trial that, uh, ended this week, which, uh, I like belatedly kind of became obsessed with. And, um, so I had weird, like intermingling dreams about some of that stuff, but I’m fine. [00:02:27] Brett: were there murders in your dream about this podcast? [00:02:31] Christina: There were not, [00:02:32] Brett: Okay. [00:02:33] Christina: unfortunately, I, I, I did [00:02:34] Brett: Yeah. That could have been [00:02:35] Christina: not dream of kill. I mean, that would’ve been interesting for, for, for our, our conversation to focus like, yeah, I dream of killing both of you, but no, I didn’t [00:02:41] Jeff: It was strictly a lucid admin dream. [00:02:44] Christina: Yeah, it was, it was true. This is, I was gonna say, my lucid dreams are like the most boring things ever. Whereas like I look at my phone and I’m texting with people and I’m like, oh, I have 30 more minutes to sleep. Like that’s literally like [00:02:59] Brett: You [00:03:00] dream about waking up and going back to bed. All right, [00:03:02] Christina: Basically. [00:03:05] Jeff: That’s awesome. [00:03:06] Brett: quick question before we roll. I have noticed that Gen Xers love the bomb, and I think my, my theory is that Gen Xers love the F-bomb more than the surrounding generations. Um, not elder millennials. Elder millennials still love the F-bomb, but you talk to younger millennials and you talk to Gen Z. Like ones that are old enough to comfortably swear. Um, and, and it fe like I drop the F-bomb and it feels uncomfortable. It feels uncomfortable with certain types of boomer and silent generation people. There are always exceptions. There are always people who, you know, swear a lot. There have been age as old as time swearing is, but there’s something like a Gen Xer will just f this and F that and fuck you, you fucking fuck. And like, I feel like we [00:04:00] grew up on Tarantino and it just, what do you guys think? [00:04:05] Christina: I think you’re totally wrong. I think tha

Transcript I Brake for Descenders [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Christina: you are listening to Overtired where, uh, we’re a little bit less tired than usual, or at least I am. I’m Christina Warren, joined as always by my good friends. All three of us are back together again. Jeff Severns Guntzel and Brett Terpstra. Woo-hoo. Gangs back together. [00:00:22] Jeffrey: I just honked. [00:00:24] Christina: I love it. [00:00:28] Brett: Yeah. Did Jeff, did you get a chance to listen to the marching episode? [00:00:32] Jeffrey: Not yet. No. [00:00:34] Brett: It was good. It was. [00:00:35] Christina: good. Um, and, uh, his book has now, since we recorded it, is become the second most popular. A nonfiction book, uh, ever on Kickstarter, but he has set another stretch goal. Uh, so I think you have until like March 9th to back the book if you’re interested. And the, the third stretch goal is he’ll make the, the custom font option even better. [00:00:56] And the the third kind of book thing that he’s, uh, putting together will be in color rather than black and white. So if people are, are, uh, if they liked what Wood Martian had to say on our last episode, and if you’re interested in the history of keyboards, you’ve still got like another two weeks or so, I think to back that book. [00:01:13] Brett: We didn’t get into it on the show, but he, this is a designer who, um, the underlines that you see on medium, um, I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, they’re like perfectly, uh, aligned underneath and they break for descenders on, on lowercase fonts. Um, like he developed an entire system to use background images to create underlines because like the c s s underlying property sucks for it. [00:01:42] And, uh, using border bottom is inaccurate. So he like created, he, he’s so detailed. He’s, he’s, uh, a perfectionist and he wasn’t gonna be happy until the underlines were exactly the way you would find them in like, print. [00:01:58] Jeffrey: We need a, we need [00:01:59] Christina: I I did not know he did that. That’s amazing. [00:02:01] Jeffrey: we need a bumper sticker that says I break for Descenders. Also, while I have not listened to that episode yet, I actually, funnily enough, that’s the word now as of today. Um, I spent so much time on the website, uh, not just the, it’s not just this website about the book, but like blog posts and what I was just like, I just kept getting drawn in. [00:02:26] Like I was, I was so, I was already pissed. I wasn’t on that episode then. I was just, I was like, man, this is so good. [00:02:33] Brett: I’m very much looking forward to getting my hands on that book. It’s gonna be quite a ride. [00:02:38] Christina: Me too. I’m, I’m, I, I’ve never been happier that, like a random Twitter conversation, like led me to talking to him for like, we, like we talked for like two and a half hours, one Sunday, like a year ago. Because I happen to tweet about, um, sneakers being like the best hacker movie ever, which is not even the first one I’ve ever tweeted about that. [00:02:57] Like, that’s a common, um, like, [00:02:59] Jeffrey: you, you, you’ve, you’ve fished with that bait before? [00:03:02] Christina: oh, I have, well cuz it’s just, it’ll occur to me and I’m just like, man, this is a good ass movie. And

Transcript The Keyboard Episode [00:00:00] Marcin: You can [00:00:04] Brett: Hey, you’re listening to Overtired. Hi. Hi there. I’m Brett Terpstra. I am joined by Christina Warren This week Jeff is out, uh, but we have a special guest to take his place marching. Is it Witchery? [00:00:18] Marcin: And there’s beginnings of [00:00:19] Brett: Wickie Witchery. [00:00:21] Marcin: of course the fonts you can swap. And it’s, you know, my, my kind of mental model was, it’s sort of like the last movie with special effects before CGI where, you know, it’s at dead [00:00:31] Brett: Yeah. We have, I, I work, I work with a very international team, and some people have resorted to spelling their names phonetically for Amer for like American English speakers. And some people have just basically changed their name because that’s the way everybody says it. It, [00:00:48] Marcin: incredibly complicated. So, [00:00:49] Brett: uh, poor Stephan. Everyone calls him Stefan because it’s s t e f a N. [00:00:55] Christina: I see. And which is how I would say it, but it’s stuff and yeah, that’s not so much. [00:00:59] Brett: I do [00:01:00] my best. Like, first thing I ask people is like, how do you say your name? And then I do my best to remember, but a lot of times it throws me. So merchant is, he’s, he has a, a book coming out. It’s a Kickstarter right now, um, about keyboards and the history, like 150 years of the, the evolution and progression of the computer, keyboard and typewriter, keyboards and early input devices. And it is, from what I’ve seen, it’s, it’s, it’s fascinating. I’ve only read excerpts that are up on the Kickstarter page around the shift Happens site, uh, if anyone wants to check it out, that’ll be on this show notes. But yeah, we’re excited to talk. We’re, we’re excited to nerd out about keyboards and, and all of the, uh, all of the work that went into that book today. [00:01:47] Marcin: Great. [00:01:48] Brett: how you guys, how, how are you guys, how are you? [00:01:51] Christina: I’m, I’m good. I’m good. I’d love, love to hear from Merchant Martian because it’s been a busy couple of weeks, right? Because, uh, the, the Kickstarter went live what, uh, like, um, [00:02:00] last week or week before last. [00:02:01] Marcin: Yeah, a a a week and a half ago. And, and, uh, it, it’s funny, it’s, it’s went really, it’s gone really well. I, I, I’m really grateful for people’s support because the book is, um, I like the book. I hope a lot of people like the book, but it’s a little bit of a strange book. It’s not like a usual book. It’s, it’s, it’s pretty nerdy. It’s pretty deep, but it’s also very visual. And I think seeing people, um, you know, bucket and we met our goal in 102 hours. Um, it was incredibly validating, but it’s also a strength set of emotions for sure. It’s, it’s, uh, you know, the Kickstarter is kind of like, I mean, it’s going, but it’s, it’s met its goal, but that doesn’t. The book is ready. The book is still half a year away, so it’s sort of like a strange moment of half celebration, which I think you, you don’t get with maybe traditional publishing, but, uh, you sort of inherited the strange sequence of steps. And, you know, it’s always interesting because [00:03:00] like, I think every big creative projects is tricky because even if it goes really well, it’s over in a way. Like it is this sort of, it’s almost like a performance, you know, you bring something out there, people maybe like it, maybe don’t like it at probably a combination of both. And then, then there’s this strange like hollowness, right? There’s this sort of the end of the, the, this stage of performance. And so the Kickstarter was very exciting for a while, and then it started quieting down, which, you know, it would, everything would, and now it’s a little strange because I don’t know how to feel exactly.

Welcome back, Brett. We’re glad to, uh, to have you, uh, back with us again. [00:00:32] Brett: I spent six days unable to get, like, I was alternating between laying in bed and reclining on the couch, uh, just for the sake of variety, but I couldn’t, I couldn’t walk. My stomach was, I was doubled over in pain. [00:00:47] Jeffrey: Ugh. [00:00:48] Brett: It was horrifying, and I won’t go into details, but I will never eat bread, cheese. [00:00:57] Christina: Now, now breaded cheese. Cuz you, you, we we’re talking about this pre-show. Do you just mean like, like a, like, like, like, like craft? Like what? What do you [00:01:03] Brett: No, no, no, no, no. So it’s called bread cheese, also known as grilling cheese. And it’s like a, a one inch by four by four inch block of, uh, I don’t know exactly what kind of cheese it is, but it’s designed to put on like the grill or to put in a saute pan and [00:01:22] Jeffrey: Like, like halmi cheese, [00:01:24] Brett: I have no idea what that means. Um, but you heat it until it gets like a little bit gooey, like a brie consistency. [00:01:30] And then you can like season it, like chop it into like strips and put like Italian seasoning on it and grill it till it gets like a nice char on the outside. [00:01:40] Christina: Oh, okay. I’m, look, I’m looking this up now. [00:01:43] Brett: of [00:01:43] Jeffrey: it’s halmi cheese. [00:01:44] Christina: I’m looking this up now. Like it looks pretty great. I, okay. I’ve had every variety of cheese and I’m lactose intolerant. I should add, um, which, uh, but, but my attacks don’t leave me with like six day things. I, I will, I will shit my guts out, but then it’s usually like over with, um, as soon as it’s out of my, you know, like, system. [00:02:06] Um, and, and I, I love cheese, so I will deal with it, but, uh, [00:02:10] Brett: I, I could deal with that. I have the opposite problem. [00:02:14] Christina: Right, right. Yeah. And, and, and actually, I, I should, I should, um, uh, clarify. I’m not lactose intolerant. I mean, I, I think I am, but I’m, I have a milk allergy, which is different, but, um, anyway, uh, but, um, I’ve never had bread cheese, but, um, it’s intriguing to me, but I&#8217

I see you walking your dog. I don’t really see you. That’s the government you’re thinking of. Um, this is Jeff Severance and this is the Overtired podcast, and I’m here with Christina Warren. Hello, Christina. [00:00:21] Christina: Hello, Jeff. Happy New Year again. How [00:00:24] Jeffrey: I thank you. I thank you. It is still a happy new Year. See, I celebrate New Year officially on my birthday, which is January 16th, [00:00:31] Christina: Yes, which I, I, I knew that this was coming up cuz I was looking at my, um, calendar and, uh, it, it populated in my calendar and I was like, oh, I gotta remember to, to, to wish a Jeff happy birthday. Um, so ha, happy, happy birthday. [00:00:45] Jeffrey: Thank you. It’s a great thing because I have usually completely bailed on my initial idea of resolutions for the year. By my birthday and my birthday allows me a chance to declare that this is really [00:01:00] the beginning of the year and, uh, and make a, a less, um, I, I make some kind of resolution with less hubris, [00:01:07] Christina: I like [00:01:07] Jeffrey: maybe Yeah. Something I can keep too. [00:01:10] Christina: Less, less, less hubris and uh, um, keep keeping things, um, uh, more honest, which I think is good cuz that’s, I I was curious. Like I, I gave up on New Year’s resolutions, like in my teens, I think probably. Um, do you ever really like, try to have them or, or is that something that, that you like. [00:01:36] Jeffrey: I, I, I do try to have them, um, but they don’t really go anywhere. I just, what I’ve come to believe is that, It’s worth it just to have the thoughts about what is it I would like to change and then to just let ’em go and maybe it’ll, maybe it’ll, you know, take care of itself over the course of the year. My, my, uh, my wife has the most amazing, [00:02:00] um, uh, resolutions. One year it was to park better [00:02:04] Christina: Oh, I love that. [00:02:05] Jeffrey: just generally to park closer to the curb. And another year it was to watch national, uh, nationally televised events like a normal American where she watched every single thing from the Golden Globes to the Super Bowl. Um, and I’m trying to, I always try to take inspiration cause I think those are just genius resolutions, but I can never find mine. [00:02:25] Christina: see. Okay. Those are awesome. So I love that actually. And so, cuz I’m like you, like I, I like to have things that I think about and I have goals. I stopped probably when I was around like 15 or so, like actually writing out like. Resolutions because I realized I’m not doing a great job keeping these and then it would just make me feel bad. And so I was like, eh, don’t do things that make you feel bad. But I do still in my mind like, oh, these are my goals for the new year and this and that.

[00:00:30] Christina: I am in Atlanta. Yes. [00:00:32] Brett: And it’s like 12 degrees. [00:00:33] Christina: It’s like 12 degrees. [00:00:35] Brett: Our, we, when it gets this cold in Minnesota, we, we go by wind chill. Um, because that’s all that matters, how fast we will your face freeze when you step out the door. Uh, we, we have, [00:00:46] Jeff: Fuck that. How fast will you die if you step out the [00:00:50] Brett: Jeff and I have negative 30 degrees right now. [00:00:54] Jeff: It’s beautiful. [00:00:54] Brett: It’s crazy. [00:00:55] Christina: So, so, [00:00:56] Brett: warm up today. It’s gonna get up to negative 26. [00:01:00] So looking forward to that. [00:01:03] Christina: it’s only the windshield here is only five degrees. So, uh, or, or, or is is, is actually, sorry. I was gonna say is actually five degrees. So, so we’re not as bad as you. [00:01:12] Jeff: but that’s [00:01:12] Brett: frigid. Nonetheless. That is still, that’s still frostbite in about 15 minutes. [00:01:18] Jeff: What I [00:01:19] Christina: we’re not used to this, this sort of, you know, weather, [00:01:23] Brett: Yeah. Yeah, that’s what Jeff was saying. Like, we, us Midwesterners, we, we talk about like our, our, our cold and our snow and everything, but we have the infrastructure to deal [00:01:36] Jeff: the constitutions. [00:01:37] Brett: have, we have years of dealing with this. We’re, yeah, we’re, we’re used to it. This is almost expected for us, but like the rest of the country now is seeing whether that they’re not prepared [00:01:48] Jeff: It’s scary. [00:01:49] Christina: Yeah. So I left, I left Seattle on, um, what day was it? Sunday. No, Tuesday left Seattle on Tuesday and, uh, today’s Friday. And, [00:02:00] uh, it was like snowing, like right as I was leaving it to the point that our flight was delayed about half an hour because it started snowing fairly heavily and then we, they had to de-ice the, the tarmac had let us get off and whatnot. [00:02:12] Christina: But even just the, the, the light, you know, pattern of snow is just so, such a weird comparison to snow in New York where, you know, the streets are salted and people are used to it. And the way that they design the roads and stuff are usually so that like, if it snows, you’ll be able to walk on it. Okay. And, you know, I have, I’m like, I have this cobblestone type of walkway outside of my apartment complex on this like one way street, which is in no way conducive cuz this has happened before when it snowed or, or iced over. [00:02:48] Christina: Like you could fall on your ass and, and, and really hurt yourself. Oh yeah. Or. Like the University of Washington, this girl slipped on black ice and died, and they didn’t have any [00:03:00] signs up. So her parents sued the fuck out of the school, and I hope they got every single dollar in the universe because that was 100%

I don’t know how much you guys have up in the cities, but we’ve gotten about a foot now and uh, I have an electric snow blower that is not great for clearing wet snow. And, uh, so we’re at the mercy of our neighbor with like, uh, his four wheeler with a plow on it, and he comes and digs us out, but on his schedule, not ours. [00:01:37] Jeff: Right, right. [00:01:37] Brett: Um, and Elle’s car is a Sonata, and I don’t know if you’ve ever driven a sonata in [00:01:44] Jeff: Yeah, that’s a, is it a four wheel drive? Sonata? [00:01:46] Brett: yeah. Right. It’s a front wheel drive, four cylinder sonata that does not handle snow at all. Like the slightest, the slightest layer of slick on the road, and it serves fishtailing. So when it snows, she drives my Audi. [00:02:03] All Audis are all wheel drive with anti-lock brakes and they’re amazing winter vehicles. Um, like you can drive my Audi in a foot of snow and not even realize it’s slippery. Like it just handles it. Just handles it. Uh, so on days like this, she takes my car to. And I stay home without transportation. So she is currently responsible for picking up my vivance today, and I am not taken my vivance yet. [00:02:35] I am, I am at her mercy, uh, when she is able to pick up my vivance and drop it off. So I’m a little, I’m a little dead pan right now.

So, uh, my, uh, my best attempt at getting tickets for Atlanta where I had tickets in [00:01:00] my cart, I hit, I hit checkout, I checked out, and then because my dad’s phone was off, he did not get a code that I needed to check out. Um, yeah, so that happened. [00:01:12] Christina: I was able to successfully get some tickets for the Seattle show using someone else’s Capital One credit card, because [00:01:20] Brett: What’s in their wallet? [00:01:22] Christina: even though my, my, my dad was like, I will have my phone next to me. I was like, I do not trust you. [00:01:29] Jeff: A bond has been broken. I have a, I have a question for you, Christina. How, how well do you grasp this current, um, lawsuit situation around Live Nation and whatever else? [00:01:41] Christina: Well, okay. I don’t know really how much of a case there is for it, to be completely honest. Like, I feel like the DOJ. Video J should have been investigating Ticketmaster for years. And, and honestly, I consider it a massive failure of the Obama administration that they allowed, um, Ticketmaster and Live Nation to merge in 2011 to begin with. [00:01:58] Christina: Right. Like [00:02:00] every, it is sort of funny to see all these Democrats like decrying this, and I’m like, okay, let’s not forget whose congress, whose senate and whose presidency this was under. [00:02:08] Brett: Obama was not great for monopoly uh, issues. [00:02:13] Christina: no, but I’m also, but, but I’m just saying like this, this was 2011. This was not like when, this was not an era when, uh, Democrats, um, did not have, uh, a say and, and it wasn’t like we were split down the middle. Like we are right now. Right? So, um, let’s just be honest about that situation. So I, I think that this is a merger that anybody with, with common sense knows never should have happened. [00:02:40] Christina: Uh, but I don’t know how much of how strong the DOJ case here is. And, and how much of this is just politicians bloviating. I am glad that because so many politicians clearly could not get Taylor Swift tickets, that they’re angry about this. Um, and, and maybe that will change some things. Um, but I [00:03:00] don’t know the, the big egregious aspect of the wholesale to me as we’ve gotten more information, like, look, I’m mad about like my own like bad luck in this. [00:03:08] Christina: Um, I did get tickets to two shows. I will be buying tickets from my mom and I cuz my mom really wants to go. And now she’s like, oh, it just wasn’t meant to

She’s getting [00:00:37] Brett 1: Let, let me read you, uh, Christina’s last message in our, in our group chat says, start without me. I’ve gotta get tickets for my mom. [00:00:48] Jeff 1: Hmm. Been there. I’ve never been there. [00:00:52] Brett 1: I’ve never been there. [00:00:53] Jeff 1: That’s not true. I bought my mom and I tickets for a Parliament Funkadelic show in Chicago about five or 10 years ago. My first, my first concert was my mom and her boyfriend took me to the Met Center here in Minnesota, in Bloomington, and, uh, where the Mall of America now stands. [00:01:14] And we went and saw, uh, the, the Parliament. And I was like five years old. [00:01:18] Brett 1: You got the pee funk? [00:01:20] Jeff 1: I got no memories, but the band lives in me. [00:01:24] Brett 1: wait. You were young enough that you have no memories, but you bought the tickets. [00:01:27] Jeff 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on now. Focus. I bought the tickets.

Yeah. I’m super scattered today. Like you started talking and I just immediately, just immediately left the room. I’m sorry. It’s not personal. It’s not at all [00:01:54] Jeff 1: familiar with this response. One time I was, I was upset that my partner had forgotten something that I had told her. And, and I said, I, I mean, it was important. I told, you know, I told you. And, and, and she goes, but you say so much And I was like, oh man. Touche. You won that round. [00:02:18] Brett 1: right before this episode, I had a therapy appointment and it struck me that my therapist remembers stuff we’ve talked about. Like I don’t, I don’t remember te telling my therapist all kinds of things and he is like, well, a couple weeks ago you mentioned this person and, and your relationship and this regard. [00:02:38] And I was like, really? We talked about that? Holy shit. Um, But I also appreciate about my therapist that I can change the topic whenever I get bored and he’ll just track with me. He’s like, okay, we’re talking about this now. Which is like having a conversation with an ADHD person who’s perfectly willing to jump when you jump.

Transcript A Special Episode with Bryan and Quinn [00:00:00] Brett: [00:00:03] Hey listeners, you are in for a weird episode of Overtired this week. Um, both Christina and Jeff have had to take the week off for differing reasons. Uh, so it’s me, Brett Terpstra, and I am here with two special guests from the technically Queer podcast. We have Brian Guffy and Quinn Pollock. How are you doing? [00:00:29] Bryan: Amazing. Absolutely amazing. [00:00:32] Quinn: Pretty well considering. Brian gave me one minute notice and I’m just vibing. I’m pretty good, pretty [00:00:38] Brett: I’m super psyched that you were available with one minute notice. [00:00:43] Bryan: Quinn’s pretty talented, as you say. Quinn, you have adhd, so you’re always ready to talk. [00:00:47] Quinn: always prepared to talk. The brain is going a thousand miles an hour. What will come out? Mostly something put together, you know, hopefully. [00:00:55] Brett: And Brian, you have ADHD too, right? [00:00:58] Bryan: Oh yeah, [00:01:00] absolutely. Yeah, [00:01:00] Brett: So this is, this is a very adhd. It usually is, but we have, we have replaced our two usual regular ADHD cohost with two new ADHD cohosts, um, [00:01:15] Bryan: and honestly, like what you’re probably getting is double Christina and less Jeff in this when you think about the energy, honestly. Um, Jeff is, Jeff is an orchestrator like nobody else. [00:01:27] Brett: kidding. [00:01:28] Bryan: Uh, he’s amazing. [00:01:30] Quinn: If there’s one thing I’m not, it’s an orchestrator, [00:01:33] Brett: Same. That’s, that’s three non orchestrators trying to put together an episode here. Um, but, uh, but I would love it if you two who know each other way better than I do, if you two kind of want to interview slash introduce each other to the Overtired audience. [00:01:54] Bryan: Yeah, absolutely. Um, Quinn. I’ve been on this show before, so I’ll start by interviewing [00:02:00] you. [00:02:00] Quinn: I was gonna recommend that, That was my [00:02:02] Bryan: yeah. Excellent. Okay, Quinn, so can you tell me, uh, a little bit about yourself? Where are you from? What do you do? Um, yeah, and like, what is, and then some, something fun about yourself. We’re doing icebreakers on technically queer. [00:02:16] Oh, no. What’s your, what? What is, what are your mental illnesses? That’s my [00:02:20] Quinn: What are my mental illnesses? Okay. I love that. Um, okay, so my name’s Quinn already been spoken. I’m actually a Canadian. I come from America’s hat, um, AK Canada, ak, um, the Place Without a Roof. Um, I joke there’s a long joke that no one understands about that. [00:02:36] Where America’s on fire, we don’t have a roof. That’s the connection. But yeah, I’m from Canada. I grew up in Ontario, Toronto, the the one city people know, and now I live in beautiful British Columbia, aka Vancouver. That’s the city. Uh, what do I do? I’m a programmer. Um, I program for my job. I work at, uh, yet to be unnamed company. [00:02:57] Uh, it’s one of the ones, it’s very important, if you google [00:03:00] my name, it’s the first thing that shows up. So I pretend like no one will know if I don’t say it, but it’s literally the first thing that will show up if you Google my name. So it’s, it’s not a secret. [00:03:10] Brett: right.

Transcript Ye Old Mental Imbalance [00:00:00] intro-outro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Christina: You’re listening to Overtired No Longer your Taylor Swift podcast, but a, a, a mental health podcast about the shit that keeps us up at night. I’m Christina Warren. I’m joined as always by my friends, Jeff Severance, Gunzel and Brett Terpstra. Hey guys, how are you? [00:00:21] Jeff: Good [00:00:22] Brett: good. I’m not. I’m not tired. Are you tired? [00:00:25] Christina: Oh, I’m exhausted, Jeff. No, [00:00:28] Jeff: I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m undecided. [00:00:30] Brett: What’s going on with you, Christina? [00:00:32] Christina: well, it’s seven o’clock in the morning and I went to bed at four, so that’s, that’s my, yeah. [00:00:40] Brett: I stayed up late last night because I got obsessed with a show that I’ve already seen, but you guys ever watch Arrow? [00:00:47] Jeff: Mm-hmm. [00:00:48] Christina: Yes. Not in a long time. [00:00:51] Brett: Yeah, it’s like 10 years old. Uh, it, I, I started watching The Flash with Al and like immediately there’s a crossover episode where characters from the Arrow come on, and it gave me this like, longing for watching Arrow, and it’s just such a great, like, revenge story. And I got, and everyone in it is hot. [00:01:12] Like everyone from like the main characters to the detective, to the, like the CFO company, like everyone’s hot. It’s, it’s, it’s a visually appealing show with a great revenge plot, and it’s way better than the flash. [00:01:30] Jeff: Wow. I’ve never seen either of those. [00:01:33] Christina: Uh, they’re from, they’re, they’re from Greg Vigilante who, uh, created brothers and sisters and, um, Couple of other things, but, uh, but who I, of course, always will remember because he was like the showrunner and one of the lead writers on Dawson’s Creek. So, uh, he also created Everwood. So, yeah. So, uh, but, but you know, it makes sense that like the longest running, most enduring kind of franchise thing of the CW is, is from like a Dawson’s Creek alum. [00:01:58] Um, so, so Brett, Brett, appreciate that. You’re, you’re enjoying and rewatching stuff like from like the absolute deepest bowels of Teen tv, Vdo [00:02:10] Brett: thank you for that perspective. I never would’ve known that without Christina. [00:02:15] Jeff: I tend to, I tend to re-watch things when I don’t feel like there’s something new for me to get. Uh, [00:02:23] Brett: that’s where I’m at right now. All, all of the shows, all the new shows we’ve been watching have ended and we’re in that, like, lull between seasons and we’re like, we’re watching a lot of Big Bang Theory and, and, and older shows and just finding out like, wow, we just started Dickinson, which I didn’t, I had never heard of on Apple [00:02:44] Christina: Oh yeah, it’s pretty good. Yeah, with [00:02:46] Brett: it is, it is pretty good. [00:02:48] Then there’s like three seasons of it already completed, so it’s a new, it’s a new show to. [00:02:54] Christina: yeah. No, she’s amazing because I believe that she, somehow, her agents must be just phenomenal because she was able to get the Dickinson deal and do, um, Hawkeye on Disney Plus, and they were like two at one point, one of, I think it was season three and Hawkeye, they were like airing at the same time. [00:03:13] And usually how the streaming things work is, it’s not quite as restric

Just get ready, start stretching. [00:00:35] Um, it’s good to see you all. I haven’t seen you. I guess it was only a week I took off, but it feels like longer for some reason. [00:00:41] Brett: Yeah. We miss you. [00:00:43] Jeffrey: Thank you. Glad [00:00:44] Brett: Yeah. You, you’ve had, uh, you’ve had some tooth trauma. What’s going on with your mouth? [00:00:49] Jeffrey: Mm, everybody loves to hear people’s dental problems. Uh, so I went into the, I had this horrible pain and I had it for a little while and I went into the dentist cause I was about to leave town, so some friends and I, we rented a little island with a cabin on it. And, uh, and I was gonna be living on an island in northern Minnesota for like four days, but I had all this tooth pain. [00:01:10] So I went in just to see if there was anything to be done or take a look at it. And they were like, Oh, this tooth is is like dying. It’s, and they, it’s called resorption. And the idea is basically that my, my body has targeted that tooth, uh, and is sort of, Sending all of its negative dark energy to the tooth, and the tooth was just like decaying from the inside. [00:01:32] It was just a really bizarre thing. I’ve never heard of it. And they’re like, This has to get pulled. And so just yesterday I went and got it pulled. I have very long roots. I’ve had this problem since I was a kid. When I get my teeth pulled, I already know what they’re gonna say before they say it, which is like, okay, this is gonna take a little extra time. [00:01:50] Right? And I may have to take this off in not two pieces, but four to six pieces, which is what happened yesterday. I was in the dentist chair for three hours. I was in it so long that other staff were coming in to say goodnight to the dentist [00:02:06] Christina: Oh my God. [00:02:08] Jeffrey: And there were definitely points where he. Exactly. Sure he was gonna be able to get everything out. [00:02:15] Um, but he remained, uh, comfortably confident, unlike some dentists who are just, I think, ridiculously confident. Um, and we got that. We got that thing out and now I have this like, massive hole and I hate, it’s a gap between my teeth. It was a big molar. And, uh, and I also now can say that pretty soon, six of my eight molars will be either crowns or in this case an implant. [00:02:41] So I’m, I’m not gonna em off one by one. [00:02:43] Brett: Wow. My, uh, my dentist looks for any, excuse not to use Novocaine. She’s always. [00:02:50] Jeffrey: I remember [00:02:51] Brett: always like, No, this will be e I barely have to drill it all. [00:02:54] Jeffrey: Oh [00:02:54] Brett: just gonna just, just, just hold on. It won’t take long. And I always end up crying bec

Transcript This One’s Not About Taylor Swift. That’s Next Week. [00:00:00] Brett: Hey everybody, this is Brett Terpstra. I’ve been up since 2:00 AM um, just working to make Overtired as tired as possible. I am here as always, with Christina Warren, Jeff Severances. Gunzel has the week off. Christina, this is gonna be a weird episode. [00:00:21] Christina: It is gonna be weird episode, but I have to say, I’m super excited for Jeff to be on, um, next episode because You and Jeff both will have homework you will have to do, which is to listen to Taylor Swift’s midnights. But you’ve been up since 2:00 AM for a reason. I’ve, I went to bed late because Taylor Swift’s new album about the things that keep her up at night. [00:00:41] That’s like, literally like what, what the, what the album kind of is about. Uh. [00:00:46] Brett: obligated. You felt maybe you should stay up all night and listen to the things that keep Taylor up at night. [00:00:51] Christina: Right. But also, I mean, I, I did go to bed at like 2:00 AM but like, um, two or three. But, um, the thing is, is that [00:01:00] this is like the Overtired Taylor album, and since we are a Taylor Swift podcast, it does almost feel fitting that it is just like you and I like for this. Like, I, like I said, I can’t wait for Jeff to join us for like a full, like, deep dive and, um, and, and, and get into it all, especially since he’s even less of a fan than you are. [00:01:19] But, um, we are a Taylor Swift podcast and it’s a Taylor Swift pop album, [00:01:24] Brett: I wanna add some clarity here. Um, uh, we have moved away from being a Taylor Swift podcast because, uh, we have become a mental health podcast. And then I believe in the tagline it says, Anne Taylor Swift for some fucking reason. Um, so yes, she’s still gonna come up, but I refuse to call it the Taylor Swift podcast anymore. [00:01:49] The joke, the joke got old for me. [00:01:51] Christina: Well, that’s fine. But, but, [00:01:53] Brett: But we are a pop culture. I mean, we are absolutely a pop culture podcast, so, [00:01:57] Christina: we are, but also we have to go back to the old [00:02:00] tagline, at least for one week, because she released an album Brett, about shit that keeps her up at night. [00:02:04] Brett: All right. That’ll be the, the episode will be titled Something to do with Taylor Swift. We will make a huge week long Taylor Swift extravaganza next week. [00:02:16] Christina: Excellent. Excellent. But it’s, it’s so, so, so you’re, you’re tired for real reasons. Um, I’m, And you’re in your grouchy and, um, I’m a [00:02:29] Brett: Yeah, I might be. Um, [00:02:33] Christina: Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. Um, and. [00:02:36] Brett: a God Taylor Swift podcast. God damn. [00:02:39] Christina: I’m tired of this joke. It’s been eight years. Christina. I’m fucking tired of this joke, Christina. No. Um, but, uh, yeah, so, um, how are you doing? [00:02:53] Mental Health Corner [00:02:53] Brett: I am, like I said up since two. I might, I’m like mania. I might be starting a little [00:03:00] manic episode. Um, should we, can we segue mental [00:03:04] Christina: No, let’s just, I was just gonna say, let’s just go into the mental health corner. [00:03:08] Brett: so I think I talked last week. If I didn’t, I was just talking to my therapist and. Didn’t talk about it here, but, um, I’m really curious as to whether what I have considered stable in the past with my bipolar, uh, whether it’s actually been just like low grade depression, uh, because like I get so bored and unmotivated when I am what I’ve a

Transcript High Content/Low Energy [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Christina: You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren, joined as always by my good friends. Jeffrey Severance, Gunzel and Brett Terpstra Boys. How are ya? [00:00:15] Brett: So good. [00:00:16] Jeff: Hello. [00:00:16] Christina: Hi. So we are recording this a little bit later than we usually do in the week, uh, ironically, because we’ve all had kind of things going on and, um, all of us are, if this is gonna maybe be a little bit of kind of a low energy show, but not low content, uh, just because we are all tired, [00:00:37] Brett: same amount of content, just slower [00:00:40] Jeff: No, I think we got a new, that’s a new like tagline. High content, low energy. [00:00:44] Christina: Okay. I don’t hate that. I don’t hate that at all. [00:00:47] Jeff: I can see the shirt. [00:00:49] Brett: like that’s a drink. White Russian, high content, low energy. [00:00:56] Jeff: Oh man, I used to, I was never a heavy drinker, but when I was in a band and playing a lot, playing shows a lot, I realized that if I had a white Russian and two green belt beers, which for non Minnesotans is just pick your piss beer. But we’re loyal to it. If I had that combination of drink, I would go into the show without having to stretch cuz that’d just be a little looser. [00:01:20] generally. And by the time the show was over, I was no longer drunk and, or it buzzed or whatever. And I really, I got like science, it was a scientific thing, a white Russian, and two grain belt premiums. And I’d go into the show, a barrel of laughs, and come out pretty sober and ready to go to sleep. [00:01:39] Brett: Yeah, my first time in a bar I was like, I think 17. Maybe 18. And I didn’t, I didn’t know any drinks to order. Like I had no experience with this. And white Russian was the only drink I had ever heard of and that was the night I discovered there’s also a black Russian, [00:02:01] Jeff: Oh yeah, [00:02:02] Brett: in a black Russian, but I liked it better. [00:02:05] Jeff: They make canned white Russians. I mean, they like make a lot of canned cocktails, but there’s the mental health check in right there Mental Health Corner [00:02:17] Brett: So should we roll into a, a mental health corner? Are we, are we high enough energy to do that? [00:02:22] Christina: Totally do that. [00:02:23] Brett: Okay. Who wants to start [00:02:25] Jeff: Uh, I can start. [00:02:26] Brett: to it please. [00:02:28] Jeff: Um, my family had a medical emergency over the last week and I spent some time in the, um, In the hospital in like the nicest hospital room. It was amazing. They had a we, [00:02:39] Christina: Oh my God. [00:02:39] Jeff: if you wanted an Xbox or a PlayStation, you could get that instead. Um, and they had like a blue-ray player and a giant TV that was really high quality. [00:02:50] There were actually three TVs in the room. It was the craziest thing ever saw. Um, I know when I, when my mom was my mom, Was in a coma in the ICU for a couple weeks, two years ago, maybe three years ago, and I, the entire time she was there for two weeks, I couldn’t get a folding chair, but this hospital room had a couch that turned into a bed, a recliner, two regular chairs. [00:03:13] It was like, Oh, like wow. It’s just like such a crapshoot. It’s amazing.

Transcript Brett Terpstra Time Machine [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Brett: Hey, people, people listening to podcasts. This is, uh, this is Brett Terpstra. You’re listening to Overtired. I am here as always with my esteemed cohost, Christina Warren and Jeff Severance. Gunzel. Uh, how you guys doing? [00:00:20] Jeffrey: Good [00:00:21] Christina: Oh, good. I’m tired. But other than that, I’m good. [00:00:25] Brett: You just, you just woke up. [00:00:27] Christina: I did just wake up, which is like bad of me, but I just, it’s been a, I’ve had an incredibly like, busy like long week and next week is gonna be even worse. And I just, it was completely, and I feel guilty saying this because we’ll talk about it cuz you were the one who actually got sick. [00:00:42] But I’ve just been like, I’m like, I’m so dead to the world. [00:00:46] Jeffrey: Yeah, you described your couple of weeks coming up at some point, maybe even on the episode last week, and it sounds. Something you’ll be happy to be through [00:00:55] Christina: Yes, 100%. [00:00:56] Brett: a. R for sure. I, uh, I can tell I’ve recovered from Covid because I have been up since 1:00 AM. Um, not manic. I was sleeping really well there for a little bit. Uh, I was sleeping till like 8:00 AM which is insane for me. Um, but yeah, this morning I woke up at one and just like tossed and turned until 6:00 AM and then just got up. [00:01:20] But yeah, I’m tired. So I, I went to Minneapolis as previously discussed. Uh, had some great dinners, saw some great people, uh, got home, uh, couple days later, Got very tired. and uh, my girlfriend was like, You should test. And so I tested and sure enough I had covid. Um, I know I did not have covid going to the cities cuz I had tested and I pretty much isolate by default. [00:01:53] Um, the only person I had seen for a week before I left was, was l and she, she was not sick. Um, I think if I had to guess, I got it from the tow truck driver that I spent 20 minutes in a, in an enclosed cab with on the way to the cities. Um, [00:02:15] Jeffrey: And those tow truck drivers, I could just tell you from experience, they can talk. [00:02:19] Brett: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he, he had stories about his, like, ex step son-in-law was suing him. He was on the, he was on the phone with his lawyer when I got into the cab, and then he, then he had to explain the whole situation. So I checked with everyone that I visited. No one else has tested positive, so I don’t think I spread it anywhere. [00:02:45] Um, No one else has had any symptoms at all, so it’s just me. I did get l sick. Um, so l and I have had covid this week. Uh, I am fully recovered at this point, and I think l may have another day left before she’s back to a hundred. But yeah, after, after two and a half years, I finally decided to see what this whole Covid thing was. [00:03:09] Christina: And, uh, what, what’s the consensus from your perspective? [00:03:13] Brett: Like, I enjoyed the days off. I, I love sick days because I don’t feel obligated to do anything. I get to just be and like, just deal with the sickness. I can just watch TV all day and it doesn’t matter. And that’s kind of, that’s freeing. So I don’t hate sick days. Um, and honestly, like aside from being super drained with a lot of like phlegm, it wasn’t the worst thing in the world and it only lasted two days. [00:03:46] Christina: Had you guys, I don’t remember, like had you had like the, the newest booster yet, or [00:03:50] Jeffrey: I have, [00:03:51] Brett: I have had, I have two, two vaccines in one booster. I had, I had not gotten the second booster yet. Um, and now I have to wait three weeks before I can get it. But I do think that vaccination was why m

Transcript Episode 300! [00:00:00] Intro: Tired. So tired, Overtired. [00:00:04] Christina: You are listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren and I’m back, and I’m joined by my good friends, Brett Terpstra and Jeff Severance. Gunzel. Guys, I’m back. [00:00:15] Jeff: Welcome back, [00:00:16] Christina: Three’s back together. No, this is actually exciting. We haven’t, the three of us haven’t recorded in a few weeks and I’ve, I’ve missed you guys. I’ve missed the pod. [00:00:23] Jeff: Yeah. We’ve missed you [00:00:24] Brett: Yeah. Here’s what I figured out. This podcast got like significantly better when Jeff joined us, Um, and not just because now one of us can disappear and the show can go on, but because like Jeff is like a foil. Between like Christina’s tendency to info dump and my tendency to just ramble and like Jeff can like ask the questions that actually get deeper into a topic. [00:00:50] And he does it with a very, like a calm approach that really tempers the two of us. And I love the dynamic and I have heard now every combination, just like me and Christina, Jeff and Christina, me and Jeff, and uh, it’s never been as good as it has been with the three of us. [00:01:08] Jeff: Yeah, I [00:01:09] Christina: Yeah, no, I totally, I I’m with you. Uh, yeah. Think the three of us balance each out. Well, actually, here’s what it is. Jeff balances me and Brett out, and then like, I balance Jeff and, uh, Brett and, and Brett, uh, balances, uh, Christina and, and [00:01:25] Brett: We all have our quirks that need tempering. [00:01:27] Christina: Right? That’s what I’m saying. Like we all like fit into like, [00:01:30] Jeff: Yeah, I was gonna say I’m not, I’m not typically described as a balancing [00:01:34] Brett: You. Okay. So your interview skills though, like the way that you ask such thoughtful questions leads to, especially when we have guests, but even when it’s just the three of us, or even like that episode you and I did where you, you interviewed me, like the questions, you, I’ve been on a ton of podcasts and I’ve been interviewed by a ton of people and it’s always been basically the same questions. [00:01:58] And uh, like they always approach me as like some productivity guru, uh, that I don’t, that I don’t really believe is a thing. Um, [00:02:07] Jeff: hurt people. [00:02:09] Brett: yeah, they’re all fake. Like nobody has the answers. Don’t, don’t look to me. But you asked questions that actually were fun to talk about and really, I felt actually revealed something about like the way I work and what I do that was. [00:02:24] Jeff: Cool. Well, it’s fun to do. I like you people. We should do a podcast. [00:02:28] Christina: should do a podcast. [00:02:29] Jeff: You know what? Let’s start with episode 300. [00:02:33] Christina: Season three, baby. [00:02:33] Brett: Oh my God. Season three we’re just, so we went to season two. We, there was a, my, a small jump in episode numbers. We took a, a long hiatus. It took us five years to get 79 episodes out. [00:02:48] Christina: Mm-hmm. [00:02:48] Brett: Um, and [00:02:50] Christina: know what? I’m proud of us for actually not giving up. [00:02:52] Jeff: Yeah. That’s awesome. [00:02:54] Christina: podcasts, once they’d lost the consistency of weekly and then biweekly and then monthly and then bi month. I think that at a certain point they’d be like, Yeah, you know what? This is never coming back. [00:03:03] But we, [00:03:04] Brett: we just, we kept

Eric is in a band called KLAS local. Is it 42 or Eric: 42. Brett: What does the 42 refer Eric: It’s just the uh, the lead of the band wanted a name that sounded like a labor union. So he just jeffrey_merged: What was the band thinking? Fellers union, uh, back from the nineties, there was another band Brett: Street sweepers. No. jeffrey_merged: That’s a great name.

Brett: That is the hardest part jeffrey_merged: thing in the world. That’s like, it’s amazing. Any band survives naming itself? Brett: so I had a band in high school that was called Moom man auto, which isn’t a horrible name, but it, it came about because we had spent weeks. [00:02:00] Arguing over what we should call our band. And eventually we had a chemistry book and the authors of the book were Moom man and Otto, and we’re like, fuck it. We’re that’s, that’s our name? jeffrey_merged: like an academic paper reference. Brett: with two man with two ends. And we kept that.

Um, and I just sat there in a bar stool and fell asleep and it was a pleasant nap. I, I can’t complain. I like, I like got speed.

Transcript Why Brett Builds What He Builds Jeffrey: [00:00:00] Hello everybody. And welcome to another episode of Overtired. It’s me, Jeff. I’m here with Brett we’re alone. Christina could not be here this week. She’s traveling. Uh, she’s in Chicago. I believe so. Brett, it’s just you and me. How do you feel about that? Brett: I’m I’m, you know, I love you. I always, I miss Christina, miss Christina, I feel like the three of us have a, a really good thing going, but you know, the beauty of having three co-hosts is if one person needs a week off, the show can go on Jeffrey: That’s true. The show must go on. You could say that probably. Um, and, and in, in this case, the show is going on, despite the fact that your face is completely, uh, uh, ripped up and bloodied. What, what happened to you? Brett: So I, I was on my hands and knees working on my Sonology. Um, had, I had just, I had just unwrapped [00:01:00] a 16 terabyte, hard drive and. What I meant to do was sit up and what happened was I went forward and I don’t know exactly. All I know is like, instead of coming eye to eye with the Sonology on the networking shelf, I suddenly was seeing stars. And I had plowed my face into the carpet. I have like a throw rug down around this. And, and I just face first into the throw rug, took a chunk outta my nose, scraped up my forehead, ripped up my elbow. It was, and then I sat up and I’m, I had no idea what had happened. Like, it was very confusing to me. And I looked down and there’s like blood all over my hand. And I wa like in a days, wandered upstairs and I was like, oh my God, what happened? And like, well, I kind of just faceplanted into the carpet for no apparent reason. So she [00:02:00] wants me to go to the doctor now. Which I, I will do out of respect. Uh, if Jeffrey: Uh, out of concern for the why or out of concern Brett: the why? Jeffrey: a rug destroyed Brett: No, no. Out of the why, like why did you go down instead of up when, when, when you sent the signal to stand up, why did you instead ke forward? Jeffrey: Is it one of those things where you were, you were seated and in order to get up, you had to kind of lean forward to get a little momentum to get up, and then you just didn’t do the other steps, Brett: I, I just, I skip some steps. Jeffrey: bad program, Brett: Yeah. Yeah. Jeffrey: I’m sorry. Well, I support as, as a, as a co-host and I know I speak for Christina as well. We support you, uh, at going into the doctor. We agree with L uh, maybe it was like a blood pressure thing. Right? Who Brett: could be, yeah. Could be medication related. I have a lot of meds that affect my balance and woo. And. Jeffrey: Wow. Um, I really wish [00:03:00] Sonology was a sponsor. So somehow we could wrap this up into a sponsor read, and then maybe go to like Z doc. Um, I mean, I really feel like we’re living into a possible sponsor situation here. Brett: Bunch of bunch of corporate tie-ins for this one, Jeffrey: We’re gonna have to get everybody on the fifth floor on that. Um, let’s see if they can, they can work on it up there in sales. Um, well I’m glad you’re okay. That’s crazy. Oh, I see your cat. So we’re gonna do a little more, Brett. It is the 19th birthday of the everlasting cat. Yeti, who has just, I wouldn’t say marched into the screen. Brett: I said to knock on wood, cuz you went and jinx it. Jeffrey: What happened? Everlasting? Brett: said everlasting cat. I, I guarantee you. He is not everlasting. The day will. Jeffrey: Oh man. Oka

Transcript The Many Returns of Bryan Guffey Tired. So tired Overtired. Jeff: Hello people. This is Jeff Severns gunzel this is the Overtired podcast. We have a special guest today. First. I want to introduce my cohosts. Christina Warren. Hello, Christina Christina: Hello. Jeff: and Brett Terpstra. Hello, Brett. Brett: Oh, hi, Jeff: Brett has a beard. He’s thinking of shaving, but we won’t get into that Um, unless he actually starts to shave it in on the episode. Brett: That’s terrible radio. Jeff: and our very special guest Brian Guffy, uh, is here, been here many times before. Hello, Brian. Welcome back. Bryan: Hello. Hello. Glad to be here. Very excited and very caffeinated. Christina: Yay. Jeff: good. Christina: That is very. Jeff: What type of caffeinated? Like too much coffee or too much red bull. Bryan: Starbucks cold brew. Brett: Man. I got this stuff from this company called wandering bear. They ship you like winery in a box except it’s coffee. So I have this like tap in my fridge that I can just pour out a full glass of cold brew. Anytime I want to. It’s dangerous. And I’m on a subscription plan. It just constantly refills itself. It’s like magic. Jeff: Wandering bear. That could be my street name. Bryan: honestly, I feel you Brett: I feel like that given, given your heterosexuality that might give the wrong impression to some people. Bryan: haven’t been wandering enough lately. So that’s my problem is I would be like stagnant bear. Jeff: so listen, I know you’ve been on a bunch of times, but do you want to give a little introduction to Brian Guffy before we start talking about things? Bryan: Sure I can do a real quick thing. Um, so let’s see. I host, uh, the podcast’s unsolicited fatties talkback and, um that’s with Deshaun Harrison, Mikey Mercedes, and Caleb Luna and Jordan Underwood, where we just talk about, basically we take advice, columns designed for fat people or about fat people and reinterpret them from a fat liberation lens. And then I do this other really fun podcast called, um, technically queer, which is four trans people with ADHD and other mental health, uh, challenges, trying to make a podcast and get it out on a regular basis. And to tell you how successful we are. We have four episodes out we’ve recorded another five that we have just forgotten to release. Christina: So there’s like your lost episodes. Bryan: Yeah, exactly. Like we’re gonna release them. We just keep forgetting to put them up and hit published. Jeff: You know, I, I actually can see how that would happen because there are times when I just enjoy the conversation and like, can forget that something’s gonna come of it. Bryan: Yeah, absolutely. And I don’t know which one of us is the most responsible. It really changes week to week. Except it’s never Alex Cox. I love Alex, but they’ll tell you, like, they’re not the one that’s gonna get the thing posted. Brett: Hi, Alex. Christina: Hi, Alex, we love you. When therapy becomes commodity Jeff: All right. So we have some topics that we’ve kind of previewed when we were all kind of talking before we started recording. And one we’ve been sort of kicking down the road and I’m, I’m actually really glad that it lands here. Um, a couple of episodes ago, before we started recording, I went on the Overtired Twitter and just said, does anybody have anything they wanna hear us talk about or follow up on? And there’s a podcast called pod therapy. And one of the hosts of pod therapy wrote in with this question, he said, what are your views on the appification of mental health? Is the examples like Headspace better help cerebral. We could probably add the sponsor, uh, that we brought on last week.

Transcript Thought Bubbles in the Brain Matrix [00:00:00] Brett: [00:00:01] Welcome to Overtired. I am Brett Terpstra. I am here with Christina Warren and Jeff Severns Guntzel. How’s it going, Christina? [00:00:12] Christina: Pretty good. Pretty good. [00:00:14] Brett: And Jeff, how are you? [00:00:15] Jeff: I’m good. [00:00:16] Brett: I tried something new this week, instead of just saying how you guys doing and expecting the two of you to vye for dibs. I split it up. I learned that from Jeff. Uh, when, one time when we had multiple people on, I noticed that he very specifically like duck, duck, goosed people into talking. Jeff is a professional interviewer. [00:00:40] Title First, Episode Second [00:00:40] Brett: I have a lot to learn from him. Um, so I wanna start off by just saying that I really wanna title this episode, thought bubbles in the brain matrix. And I would like to tell you why. Um, so my girlfriend Elle uh, she sometimes [00:01:00] has trouble remembering words. I don’t know if related to ASD or just a personality quirk, but she can put together like pictures of the things she wants to say. [00:01:11] And she was trying to ask me about mind mapping, but she couldn’t remember the word mind mapping. And what she came up with by way of explanation was “thought bubbles in the brain matrix.” And, and I was able to put that together. I got that. I understood it. So here by explaining that I now I’ve now given us a reason to call the episode “thought bubbles in the brain matrix,” and immediately explained it to listeners who like maybe tuned in, because it was such a great title. [00:01:41] Jeff: That’s great. This happens to me all the time. It’s like, I, the way I describe it is like I reach into the word bag and I just grab the wrong fucking word. So I just say whatever comes to mind, like “heffleprint”, like what it’s like, there are times when I’ll ask for something and I’ll just say that. [00:01:58] And, and, and my [00:02:00] wife’s at the point where she can just be like, oh, you mean a spoon? Yeah, exactly. [00:02:04] Brett: Well, [00:02:04] Christina: That’s awesome. [00:02:05] Brett: It’s interesting because I, it’s probably true of everybody, but I know that between Elle and I, and this is, uh, the first time I’ve ever had such clear communication with a partner. Um, but we have very different needs in the way things are said to us. Um, and we try to accommodate each other’s need, like, I, for example, if I, if I offer an idea and your first response is here’s what’s wrong with it. [00:02:35] I hear that as like a no, instead of like, uh, that’s a good idea. Let’s see what we could do with it. I, I just hear that as a no. So I need like the first thing out of your mouth to be like, oh, that’s a great idea here’s a problem we might run into instead of jumping straight to the here’s, what’s wrong with the idea, uh, which is that’s the way Elle thinks, like she just accepts that, okay this is the idea we’re [00:03:00] working with, let’s start figuring out how to do it. [00:03:03] Jeff: Not a shocker, Brett your love language is “yes, and.” [00:03:09] Brett: Not a shocker. Yeah. Do you guys wanna do some mental health? [00:03:15] Christina: Definitely. [00:03:16] What are people for? (Mental Health Corner) [00:03:16] Jeff: Hey man, you guys wanna go in the back room and do some mental? [00:03:18] Christin

Transcript That Particular Monster [00:00:00] Christina: [00:00:02] You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren and I am joined as always by Jeff Severns Guntzel and Brett Terpstra guys. How are you? [00:00:14] Jeff: Hido hi, episode 2 95. [00:00:16] New Teeth? [00:00:16] Brett: I got new teeth. You? Nope. Okay. So our listeners, we don’t, we’re not doing video, but for the last year I had the four teeth in the bottom, right back of my mouth got pulled. So I haven’t been able to chew on the right side of my mouth for [00:00:32] Christina: Oh, wow. [00:00:33] Brett: Um, and I just got used to it. I, I got used to having all that extra space from my tongue. [00:00:38] Uh, and you, you, your, your brain just accommodates, you know, you just start chewing with one side of your mouth. So now I have to like force myself to chew, but they put these teeth in, I got this bridge, this implant, and for, for people listening, I just like pulled my cheek back and [00:00:54] Jeff: no, you did like the old comedy, like fish hook and the [00:00:56] Brett: Yep. [00:00:57] Yeah. And, and the teeth [00:01:00] they put in this implant, they put in is bigger than the teeth that were taken out. Um, I don’t know if you can see, but it comes in like almost a quarter inch further than the normal teeth [00:01:13] Jeff: oh, jeez. [00:01:14] Christina: Ooh, weird. So, okay. Now was that an accident or is that just like how they work or like. [00:01:20] Brett: I complained about it and they explained to me that because of the way, cuz there’s two, uh, like whatever, screw posts, whatever they’re called implants, I guess. Um, and the way that they have to create a bridge that spans across these two posts, it has to be in a straight line instead of curved the way a, a set of teeth normally would be. [00:01:42] Um, so I guess it’s unavoidable. I’m gonna give it a couple weeks and if it, if I can’t stop biting my tongue, like I I’m having to retrain the way I speak. Um, I’m, I, I, I tend to li [00:02:00] now if I’m not paying close attention, because my tongue is kind of like jammed towards the center of my mouth and it’s, it’s nice to be able to chew on the right side of my mouth. [00:02:10] But honestly, I, I kind of miss not having teeth there at this point. , I’m getting, uh, as the days go by, I’ve only had ’em for two days. So I feel like I’m getting more used to them every day. Uh, we’ll see. Maybe I’ll just, maybe my brain will just adjust to this. No reality. Now, [00:02:29] Christina: I think it probably eventually will. Um, they might have to do a thing where like they shave some of it down or whatever. I don’t know. [00:02:36] Brett: if that’s an option, I’m all for [00:02:38] Christina: I mean, they might be able to, I’m just, I, the reason I’m saying this is like, I know that they can shave regular teeth down, so I don’t understand why they couldn’t shave like an implant or something. [00:02:44] Brett: Yeah. We’ll see what, [00:02:47] Jeff: I went to the dentist for a crown and they gave me a 3d print of my teeth. [00:02:51] Brett: oh, geez. What are you gonna do with ’em Halloween’s coming up. [00:02:55] Christina: That is cool. [00:02:56] Jeff: Well, my fucking family’s sick of seeing them. Uh, I had it on [00:03:00] my bedside table for a while. [00:03:02] Christina: Oh [00:03:02] Brett: my family’s like my family’s like that with the gallstones I got taken [00:03:06] Christina: your wife is like, you put that in the house first. You get that off the bedside table. [00:03:12] Jeff: it’s fascinating to look at. You never see it’s like a for, for those again, for this visual episode where retired, I have a full 3d printed version of my mouth and, uh, and I can just look at it and it’s like looking at me, uh, or at least part of me. And it’s like, where I know there’s

I just had an [00:02:00] amazing step kid experience where, so my mom was married twice and the second marriage was when I was like, end of junior high, beginning of high school. Um, and I had a stepbrother and a step sister at that time. We didn’t get along any of us, but somehow after my parents, after their parents in mind divorced my former stepbrother and I. [00:02:21] Like inseparable. We started hanging out. He’s five years older than me. We started hanging out. We started taking road trips to New York to see bands. We, we started a band, we made an album. We toured together for a couple of years. Like we became completely inseparable. And in the process of that, I became close with his grandparents, which had nothing to do with my family or my step family and his mother who was like kind of vilified in our family wrongly. [00:02:47] And so I, I sort of built this whole weird, separate family. And about, um, three weeks ago, my brother who lives in Brooklyn, uh, came to town and, and said, Hey, I’m, I’m cleaning out my mom’s [00:03:00] garage. Could I get a hand? Could you help me?

Uh, glad to be back with both of you, cuz it’s been a while since we’ve, uh, done a pod together because you were gone Brett, and then we took some time off. So yeah. [00:00:33] Jeff: Yep, [00:00:33] Brett: Yeah. And, and before that we took some time off. We’ve been a little, um, scattered for a couple [00:00:40] Christina: I, [00:00:41] Jeff: summer schedule. [00:00:42] Christina: I was about, I was gonna say it is the dog days of summer. Like, I, I don’t know if this is how it is at Oracle prep, but I know that like at, at Microsoft and, and also GitHub, like basically people don’t work the entire month of August. Like, that’s just one of those, [00:00:54] Brett: that would explain. So it seemed really strange to [00:00:58] Jeff: you? A bunch of Europeans over. [00:00:59] Christina: [00:01:00] basically. [00:01:00] Brett: So, so like Oracle had a bunch of layoffs, uh, like huge number of layoffs. And I don’t even know the full extent of it, but, um, I was on vacation when the big round of layoffs happened and I got back and things were so quiet. I was wondering if I had been laid off and they just didn’t tell me, like, kinda like edged me out. [00:01:25] My band did that to me back in college. [00:01:28] Christina: Okay. [00:01:28] Jeff: know what? Sorry. Go ahead, [00:01:31] Brett: just stopped inviting me to rehearsal. [00:01:33] Christina: that’s how you found out you were out of the band? No, I was gonna say like, like genuinely, like, is everybody on your team? Okay. Like, [00:01:39] Brett: Yeah. My entire team is like, we met stretch goals like all through last year and like our team. Shows, uh, real results. And I’ve been told by, by the like second in commanded Oracle, we’ve been told we’re safe, [00:02:00] uh, which is a big, it’s a big relief. I, I need, I need to have a job right now, [00:02:04] Christina: Totally totally. Uh, no, that, that’s why I was asking before we got into any other, like jokingness stuff. I just wanted to like, make sure like, cuz cuz when I saw that and I, I, I knew we were gonna be talking and I was like, if something had happened, like I would’ve seen something, I would’ve heard something, but I, uh, I wanted to make sure that everybody on your team was, um, was okay. [00:02:23] Jeff: According to a obscure, uh, business newspaper called the wall street, something, something the layoffs primarily hit Oracle’s advertising and customer experience. As company emphasizes cloud and healthcare, it services, healthcare, it services. Well, all right. [00:02:40] Christina: I didn’t even know they did that, but, but [00:02:43] Jeff: That’s a big company. Isn’t it? [00:02:45] Brett: What’s healthcare, healthcare, like they just bought Cerner. So why are they laying off? I don’t what’s the [00:02:53] Christina: another part it’s, it’s probably another, I, it’s probably another part of like a healthcare thing who knows. I mean, I’m just thinking [00:03:00] like, you know how it is with giant companies. Like there are, I think there are two or three different health divisions at Microsoft that are in different parts of the company. [00:03:08] So who even knows. [00:03:10] Jeff: Yeah. Well, but Brett, you and your basement are unattracted. [00:03:16] Brett: Right, [00:03:16] Christina: is important though. [00:03:18] Jeff: it is important. Yeah.

Transcript Overtired 292 [00:00:00] Christina: [00:00:03] You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren, Brett Terpstra is indisposed this week. We decided to give him the week off, but person who is not indisposed and is here with me is, uh, my good pal, Jeff sovereigns. Gunzel Jeff, how are you? [00:00:18] Jeff: I’m good. Not indisposed for once. Uh I’m great. Thank you. How are you? [00:00:23] Christina: I’m good. I’m good. I got to spend, uh, time yesterday with, uh, some friends of mine who I haven’t seen in a while. Um, one is visiting from out of town and another, she lives nearby, but we just, she’s far enough away that I don’t see her that often. And so I gotta hang out with, um, her and her husband and her baby, and I got to go to a park and go on swings. [00:00:42] I hadn’t been on a swing in probably 20 years, so that was fun. That was really fun. Um, and, uh, yeah, no, I’m good. Um, so, uh, we, we actually, for, for listeners, we recorded like three days ago. So this is like, it you’re hearing it a week [00:01:00] later, but we recorded like three days ago. So, um, what’s been going on with you over the last little bit. [00:01:06] Jeff how’s how’s the COVID recovery and everything. Uh, the, the back to life after the, the road trip and everything going. [00:01:12] Jeff: COVID recovery is good. Back to life is good. We tried to put in a new like vanity and medicine cabinet and stuff in the bathroom today, and none of them really work. So we’re sitting on top of a lot of stuff that we really just need to return and replace. So that’s a little like frustrating. Um, but so otherwise since then, I don’t know. [00:01:34] I’ve just been kind of trying to get my feedback on the ground after my trip and the COVID before it. So how about you? [00:01:40] Christina: Um, I’m good. I’m I’ve been, yeah, again, I just, you know, had like work stuff and, uh, and like I said, I, I went to a park with a baby, which was really fun. So [00:01:48] Jeff: a baby. That should be a activity you can choose any day. I. [00:01:51] Christina: I agree what was funny because we were like having this conversation, we were like, why don’t they have like playgrounds for adults because playgrounds are freaking [00:02:00] fun. Like, you know, like, like big like adult slides and, and, you know, uh, seesaws and swings and, and bouncy castles. And, you know, like, there’s, you, you could have like other stuff too, where people could like, turn it into CrossFit stuff, I guess. [00:02:15] But like, you know, like there’s, you could have rules, like, okay, it’s indoors. Cause we don’t want the bugs, but like, you know, so the park we were at was act absolutely outdoors, but you know, you could, you could have rules like, okay, you can’t bring alcohol cuz we don’t want the liability issue. But like, why not just like have like more than like a David busters, but like a full on like playground type of situation. [00:02:35] Like I think that that would be, that would be for me, I would, I would much prefer that to like the normal gym. I’m not even gonna lie. [00:02:42] Jeff: What’s as you were talking, I, I had this, I was trying to kind of picture it. And one of the things that happens at a park for kids that I would actually enjoy as an adult is how kids can be hanging out at the picnic table. And then they can decide to just run off and do a thing on their own, or do a thing with one other person. [00:02:59] Then they come [00:03:00] back to the picnic table for a bit. That’s just kind of a good model for an introvert, uh, to be socially, [00:03:06] Christina: Exactly. Exactly. Like you could still, you could have like, like, like the, the picnic table of whatever, you know, and people are like, yeah, I’m gonna go to the climbing wall now, or I’m gonna go in the swings and then you come back and like, I’m gonna hang out with my friends, you know? And it’s like completely cool. [00:03:19] Jeff: Yeah. Just someone just needs someone to keep the juice boxes cold. [00:03:22] Christina: exactly. So, so I’m gonna be working on a business plan for, for my

Well, who the, [00:00:58] Brett: Old it’s [00:00:59] Jeff: are. I have [00:01:00] never gone through a whole album. [00:01:02] Brett: Old punk rock. [00:01:03] Christina: Okay. Okay. I mean, I felt like I heard some stuff. I probably would be familiar because like the punk rock of my generation, which is like, you know, like pop punk ripped that stuff off. But [00:01:14] Brett: don’t think they ever had a chart topper of any kind. [00:01:17] Christina: Oh no, I I’m not, I’m not saying that I’m saying like that stuff, like it becomes I interpolated and, and inspired and whatnot, but yeah, no, I, uh, I Nope. [00:01:27] Brett: So Jeff, you [00:01:28] Jeff: uh, when it, when it comes to, let me just say this, when it comes to the classic punk rock, I’ve always had this sort of attitude. This is true of hardcore too, where I just, I kind of reach back and I pick one or I pick two, so I’ve got black flag. Right. And, and, and I, I come forward with them when it came to hardcore, I had bad brains and I kind of moved forward in life with them, but I never really spread out in, in, uh, hardcore or in that early, especially west coast, [00:01:54] Brett: who’s your black, who’s your black flag front man of choice. [00:01:58] Jeff: Um, [00:02:00] I don’t know, I I’ll take Henry Rawlins. I liked them all. I just enjoyed it [00:02:04] Brett: same. Like, I like used to be like, oh, Chavo or bust and not man Henry Rollins. He, he was black flag. You, you can’t deny black flag with Henry Rollins. It, [00:02:15] Jeff: Well, and it was weird. Like he, you know, pictures of him all like muscled out and like squat kneeling on [00:02:21] Brett: uh, [00:02:22] Jeff: a little aggressive. Like there was the thing about black flag. And especially with him was like, there was just, there was definitely too much testosterone, but, but it was, it was a learning band for me. [00:02:33] It was a band that was a link in the chain and helped me understand how we got from one place to another. So that’s how I think of them. [00:02:40] Brett: yeah. [00:02:40] Jeff: Anyway. [00:02:41] Brett: So you got, you got the COVID Jeff. [00:02:43] Jeff: I got the COVID. Yeah, I happened to get COVID a few days before my family was supposed to leave for a meticulously planned trip to Kenya to visit, uh, a good friend of mine who has an organic farm there. [00:02:57] And then to also go to the coast of Kenya. Um, [00:03:00] and, uh, yeah, we had been planning that one for quite a while. Uh, and it was a huge disappointment and I had not gotten COVID yet. So this was my first COVID and I got it just in time to cancel like a really, really special trip. And because we booked a lot of that trip with points and because. [00:03:17] The way

Just me, Brett Terpstra and Christina Warren, Christina, how you been? [00:00:16] Christina: I’ve been good. I’ve been good. It’s been a while. [00:00:19] Brett: Yeah, we had three. We had two weeks off and we missed one week because, uh, you had already taken off and Jeff was, uh, Jeff got the COVID. Uh, and, [00:00:30] Christina: Ronna. [00:00:31] Brett: and I didn’t have time to, to fill in with anybody. And then I got a little sick and we took three weeks off. So, so welcome back. I [00:00:40] Christina: Thank you very much. And, and it feels like it’s been even longer than that because I, I think it’s been like a month since I’ve done a pod because of all the travel and stuff that I did. So I’m, I’m very grateful to be back I’m I’m sorry that Jeff can’t be with us. He’ll be with us when we record next time. [00:00:59] Um, but yeah, [00:01:00] over, over Overtired, classic OG Overtired. Overtired OG. There we go. [00:01:04] Brett: I don’t know if Jeff will ever listen to this, this episode, but as much as I love the, the classic recipe, I really, I really like Overtired with Jeff. I really like having him on. [00:01:16] Christina: I love having him on too. And, and so, so it’s weird to, for us to have like the throwback to like, what was, you know, our like typical thing for, [00:01:24] Brett: feels like we’re, it feels like we’re missing a limb. [00:01:28] Christina: kind of, kind of like, I didn’t ever know that I wanted three arms, but, but here we are. [00:01:33] Brett: so you, you did some travel where’d you head. [00:01:36] Christina: So I was in, um, uh, Denmark and then I was in Tel Aviv. So I, [00:01:41] Brett: didn’t know about that [00:01:43] Christina: Yeah, that one was right after Denmark. So I literally left Denmark and I flew to stanol and then from stanol went to Tel Aviv and then I was in Tel Aviv, um, for like four days. And so it was a quick trip. Um, but, uh, I wish that I could have been there longer, but if I sent you [00:02:00] the itinerary of stuff that I did while I was there, like in past jobs, not at tech companies, but in past jobs, I have had people complain to me and be like, we don’t know if we had enough value out of your trip, which a go fuck yourself. [00:02:17] Because, because of one of those trips, we ended up getting to Tim cook interview. So, you know, suck my Dick. Um, you more than got value. Like you, it, it’s not a question and, and, and B, but like, you know, I I’ve always do my all into work trips, but in this case, like, cuz it’s my first time doing like a, a solo trip for GitHub. [00:02:37] I was like very concentrated on like making sure that I, you know, like did enough stuff and, uh, no one, no one could argue, like, I don’t even think like the most like pedantic or like biggest asshole could like look at all the, all the, my attender and be like, yeah, Christie didn’t didn’t do enough work related things on that trip. [00:02:58] It was great though. [00:03:00] Exactly, exactly. Cause [00:03:01] Adventures in Tel Aviv [00:03:01] Brett: so what do you do when you go on a trip for GitHub? What, what’s your, what’s your gig? So there’s a mark [00:03:06] Christina: So, I mean, in this case I was doing a lot of talks and a lot of community things. So this was what my itinerary was when I was in Tel Aviv. So I got in at like two o’clock, one o’clock, two o’clock in the morning. And then at, um, 4:00 PM or I guess really I got there around. Yeah, I think I got there at four. I might have gotten there, um, a little bit earlier, a little bit l

Transcript ~/.love [00:00:00] Christina: You are listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren joined as always by Brett Terpstra and Jeff severance. Gunzel how are you guys doing [00:00:13] Brett: Oh, oh, I mean, tired. That’s appropriate [00:00:17] Christina: I, I mean, it is the name of the podcast that I came up with like seven years ago, eight years ago. Oh my God. While we were tired. [00:00:25] Brett: in an elevator. Yeah. [00:00:27] Christina: an elevator at Twitter at Twitter [00:00:30] Brett: Oh, that’s right. It wasn’t the Twitter HQ. Wasn’t it. [00:00:33] Christina: it was [00:00:34] Jeff: That’s a good origin story. [00:00:37] Brett: speaking. [00:00:38] I, I [00:00:38] have, I have some great news for you guys. Um, speaking of Twitter, this podcast has been acquired by Elon Musk. Um, which [00:00:47] Jeff: Oh, I [00:00:48] Brett: news. We no longer have to do sponsor reads. Uh, we also, we’re not [00:00:52] Jeff: have to come into the office. [00:00:54] Brett: negative about Elon or Tesla or SpaceX. Um, all jokes [00:01:00] have to be what Elon determines to be funny, but Hey, [00:01:04] Christina: okay. [00:01:05] Brett: you know, we’ll roll with it. [00:01:05] I’m obviously [00:01:07] Christina: I mean, look, this is what happens sometimes. [00:01:09] Brett: lying. [00:01:10] Christina: Clearly. I mean, because look, I will say that if Elon wanted to offer us like a shitload of money to sell out, um, I would totally do it. [00:01:19] Brett: What’s your price? [00:01:20] Jeff: for a ride space [00:01:22] Christina: I, yeah, I don’t know. I mean, I don’t [00:01:25] Jeff: without, without him a board. Sorry, go ahead, Christina. [00:01:29] Christina: No, no. It’s to say what my price would be. I mean, like for this pod, it, it would be cuz here’s the thing we could always just recreate our own thing. Like, you know what I mean? Like if, if, if, if it went to shit, so I don’t know, it wouldn’t even have to be that much. [00:01:41] Like it, it would have to be something, but, [00:01:43] Brett: would, for me, for me, it’s about 5 million, because if it was anything less than that, if anything, less than that, I could parlay that, Hey, we are a podcast that Elon offer $4 million for. So I could parlay that into other buyers. [00:02:00] If we were worth that to Elon, there’s some, there’s some legs to that 5 million though. [00:02:05] I’m I’m I I’ll sell out. It’s [00:02:08] Jeff: I’d do it for a pocket full of McDonald’s gift cards. [00:02:11] Christina: I was, I was like, I was thinking more like 50,000 and I’d be like, [00:02:15] Brett: oh my God. [00:02:16] Christina: yeah. Oh, I [00:02:17] Jeff: Mm-hmm [00:02:17] Brett: I make that in a minute. [00:02:19] Jeff: mm-hmm you know what though? How cool would it be if we only recorded the podcast from space? So every week we took a trip. and we recorded in space and that was our bit. [00:02:31] Christina: That, that [00:02:32] Brett: We record [00:02:32] Christina: cool. That’d be cool. [00:02:33] Brett: would all three of us in a space shuttle recording a podcast. Why [00:02:38] Jeff: it’s a monthly podcast. [00:02:40] Brett: Why does the ISS not have a podcast? [00:02:43] Jeff: I mean, they’ve got enough social media coming out of them. [00:02:46] Brett: I haven’t paid attention. Do they? [00:02:49] Jeff: Yeah. They’ve always got someone who’s good at working it up there. Just [00:02:52] Brett: Huh? We have a social media intern at work now and I don’t want to talk shit. So that’s all I’m gonna say.[00:03:00] [00:03:00] Jeff: literally just talked shit.

[00:00:44] Jeff: Excellent. [00:00:44] Brett: so Christina was a little bit late. She missed like a lot of our pre-show conversation cause she had things going on, but remind me where you were last week, Christine. [00:00:54] Christina: I was in Atlanta at render ATL, which is a JavaScript conference, but it was also [00:01:00] like, frankly, it was one of the cooler tech events I’ve been to because, um, you know, most tech conferences, um, it’s like a bunch of white dudes or like white people in general. Yeah. Like me being white, I was like a minority. [00:01:13] It was, it was, uh, because, uh, it is the Atlanta tech community, but it was kind of created by them and not by like the white people in the suburbs of the Atlanta tech community. So it was, it was a bunch of, of, of, um, black and people of color and people who have like different backgrounds. Um, it was a lot of young people. [00:01:29] It was really, really, it was a really great event. It was really fun. [00:01:32] Brett: Nice. [00:01:33] Jeff: awesome. [00:01:34] Victor: Atlanta has a great tech scene, man. Oh my gosh. [00:01:37] Christina: They do they do, but what was interesting like this was, it took place downtown and a lot of the conferences, like I haven’t been to a conference that was downtown since 2008. Like most of them have been in the suburbs. Like they make you get a cop or something. And this was actually like downtown, which was really great. [00:01:55] Brett: Speaking of [00:01:56] Jeff: a wonderful, wonderful city. Go ahead bro. [00:01:59] Brett: Um, [00:02:00] so max stock is under pretty severe limitations this year, uh, because of their offering, uh, distance, socially distant seating to people, uh, which means they can only sell so many tickets and technically they are sold out already. Um, I am working, uh, I’m waiting. Uh, Mike is going to get back to me. [00:02:23] He’s processing, whatever refunds are waiting right now, uh, in any tickets to become available, he’s gonna, he’s gonna let me. Uh, invite, you know, specific people. We want Victor to come. Uh, [00:02:38] Victor: I’m okay with waiting in line, like a normal human being, as opposed to, you know, some big shot, uh, wheel or whatever the hell. Uh, but I will, I will say this at the very least, this would give me an excuse to send a robot in my stead, uh, and [00:02:51] Christina: yeah, you can have you get up. I was going to say you did the telepresence thing. That’d be [00:02:55] Victor: Right. Uh, there’s a bunch of open source, like robot dogs on the market. And [00:03:00] so, you know, maybe I’ll send like a fleet of spider robots to [00:03:04] Jeff: about this one? That’s out there. It looks like a, a, it looks like a, uh, oh, what’s the scooter. You ride two wheels. [00:03:12] Brett: uh, [00:03:12] Jeff: God, Joe blue. [00:03:13] Victor: Oh yeah, yeah. [00:03:14] Jeff: like a segway holds a stick on a phone. What’s the deal. Anybody g

Transcript Overtired 287 [00:00:00] Brett: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Brett and Jeff show. Uh, formerly known as overtired, technically still overtired, but we gave Christine the week off and we did not bring in a guest. So it’s me, Brett Terpstra here with Jeff Severns Guntzel how’s it going, Jeff? [00:00:21] Jeff: Good gave Christina a week off, [00:00:24] Brett: We did. We offered [00:00:25] Jeff: up here in our corner. Offices are overtired corner offices. You know, I’ve been noticing maybe you need a little time off. It’s none of my business. [00:00:36] Brett: just give me your gun and your badge and here letting you go for the week. [00:00:43] Jeff: We missed you, Christina. [00:00:46] Brett: Yeah. Christina has shit to do, you know, as happens on occasion more often to her than to us. she lives, she lives a more, she’s more of a jet setting lifestyle than, than either [00:01:00] of us currently have to be fair to [00:01:03] Jeff: a jet city woman to quote the queen drag song. [00:01:07] Mental Health Corner [00:01:07] Brett: So, Hey, uh, that brings us to some, uh, uh, mental health corner. If you will, uh, Jeff, uh, how you doing [00:01:15] Jeff: I’m doing. Good. I’m drinking black coffee because I’m on the whole 30, [00:01:19] Brett: at the wall? I know [00:01:20] Jeff: uh, and stare at the wall? Yes, I uh, I was, I was like retaining all kinds of water because of a medication and the, and the, the advice is like, Higher potassium, lower sodium, like whatever else I’m like, oh, I used to do the whole 30 diet, like every January just to sort of, um, helped me to pull back. [00:01:43] Cause I’m, I, I don’t do moderation, um, with almost anything, but I can do like a really strict framework and, and it helps me to just sort of like reset and it also just reminds me that I can actually, I can actually make decisions that helped me. [00:02:00] Um, and that. [00:02:01] is just like a really great thing. It’s anyway, this is, I’m doing the whole 30 right now. [00:02:04] Um, and, and that means like I’m not having any dairy, so I’m drinking black coffee, which is fucking disgusting. What am I a cop? It’s not, I don’t like, I do not like black coffee, [00:02:14] Brett: man, I drank black coffee every morning. [00:02:17] Jeff: I, thought, I thought I could, I could get with it. Instead, I just nurse like the same two cups all day long, anyway, not that interesting, just to say that that’s, um, helping how I feel overall and helping my mental health. [00:02:30] I also got a re up on a steroid shot in my lower back. So I’m feeling like a brand new man, um, want to emphasize, cannot emphasize enough that steroids are not just for baseball players. Everybody should try them. Um, you can really just like change your life and it has for me in my back. Um, and yeah, and otherwise, I don’t know, like the medication balance feels right right now. [00:02:53] It’s been really nice weather out. We’ve been able to start gardening. Um, and that’s really exciting. [00:03:00] So I’m feeling pretty good, Brett, how about you? [00:03:02] Brett: I, I would like to point out and, and our listeners don’t know this yet, but that mental health corner update took you three edits. Which I feel is indicative of a mental health state. Like we had to, we had to, we had to do that three times for you to, and you said basically the same thing every time, but you kept stopping yourself and saying, Nope, can we edit this? [00:03:32] And, and our listeners are hearing the finished product. Our listeners are hearing your best. You’re they’re hearing what [00:03:39] Jeff: move. There’s warm milk on a banana peel. [00:03:44] Brett: but do you, do you feel like that’s a sign of you being okay. [00:03:50] Jeff: I think, you know what it is, it’s, it’s actually just a sign of something that I’m still getting used to, which is like, how do
