(Encore episode - originally aired November 2025)Gunnar grew up in what looked like the perfect family - until addiction slowly unraveled everything. After his parents fell deeper into their own substance use, his mother disappeared without a word, leaving Gunnar to navigate a childhood suddenly marked by instability and pain.By his teens, he turned to meth and heroin, beginning a long cycle of drug court, jail stays, and surviving on the streets of downtown San Diego. But Gunnar's story didn't end there. Through grit, recovery, and a community that believed in him, he rebuilt his life from the ground up.Now three years sober, Gunnar has graduated college and applied to graduate school with a mission: to advocate for the homeless community he once belonged to and push for real policy change.This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the impact of turning lived experience into purpose.Episode sponsored by Worthy Wellness CenterWorthy Wellness Center is nestled within the charming village of Carlsbad, in North County, San Diego, less than half a mile from the tranquil local beaches.

This week on Sinica, I welcome back Evan Osnos of The New Yorker, whose marvelous new essay, “The Future, Made in China,” chronicles a tech-focused return trip to Beijing, where he lived from 2005 to 2013 — first for the Chicago Tribune, then as The New Yorker's China correspondent. Evan is the author of Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China, which won the National Book Award, as well as Wildland: The Making of America's Fury and The Haves and Have-Yachts.His essay is far more than another breathless account of China's advances in robotics and electric vehicles. It's a meditation on what China's technological ascent means for the United States, for how both societies are organized, and for the rest of us, whose futures increasingly seem to be wagered by two small circles of powerful men in Beijing and Washington. We talk about the Xiaomi Hyperfactory, “Chinamaxxing,” the export control debate, and the deeper contest Evan identifies: not democracy versus authoritarianism, but humanism versus scientism.3:04 – Walking Beijing's streets again: quieter, richer, more surveilled11:26 – The Xiaomi Hyperfactory: choreography, awe, and what's actually real18:10 – Doomed to coexist: Evan's message for the American reader24:15 – Schrödinger's China: joke or juggernaut?27:16 – The limits of knowability in an increasingly opaque system31:56 – Threat narratives vs. “Chinamaxxing”: America's two China conversations43:20 – “Thank Trump”: America's self-inflicted wounds47:29 – Revisiting the Sullivan doctrine and export controls53:10 – Mankind 2000: humanism, scientism, and rival oligarchies1:02:48 – Convergence: arriving at dystopia from opposite directions1:07:21 – Self-strengthening redux: Levenson and America's meum-verum gap1:17:53 – The other Sputnik moment: the backlash against tech oligarchyPaying It ForwardYi-Ling Liu, author of The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet — Evan admires how her work grapples with the competition between scientism and humanism across national borders.Chang Che, who writes for The New Yorker and The Guardian — watching China's technological developments up close, “creating history in real time.”RecommendationsEvan: How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University by Theo Baker — the youngest-ever Polk Award winner on how a rising generation at Silicon Valley's feeder school perceives its opportunities and obligations. Also True Grit by Charles Portis — splendid, sentence-savoring dialogue.Kaiser: Butcher's Crossing by John Williams, author of Stoner — a Western with the same sentence-level craft; for fans of Melville and Cormac McCarthy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cole Eiguren arrived at the 2026 Cheyenne Frontier Days entered in two events and left with $11,100, an all-around championship and a buckle tied to generations of family history.Most of Eiguren's Cheyenne earnings came in the tie-down roping, where he won his bracket, placed second in the semifinals and finished fourth in the finals for $10,100. He did it aboard Stoner, the 8-year-old grade red roan gelding his family bought as a colt and selected specifically for Cheyenne's walking-fresh setup.In this episode, Eiguren walks through his bracket win, the semifinals and the added urgency behind his finals run. He also explains why Stoner excels on fresh calves, what he learned after tearing his MCL at Cheyenne in 2025 and how he kept the all-around race out of his mind with one calf left to rope.The buckle itself carries even more meaning. Eiguren's grandfather won five Cheyenne buckles, including an all-around buckle that Eiguren's mother now wears. With his first child due in October, Eiguren's new buckle may one day become part of that same family tradition.

This week on Sinica, a rare treat: an in-person recording from Beijing with two dear friends who happen to be two of the very best in the business on technology and China — Samm Sacks and Paul Triolo, fresh off the exhibition floor of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. We dig into Xi Jinping's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive statement on AI to date, the launch of the World AI Cooperation Organization, Moonshot's release of Kimi K3, the Trump administration's reported push to shut Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. market, the coming age of agents, the untranslatable problem of ānquán, and what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue in September.8:51 – The view from the floor: heat, humidity, robot boxing grandmas, WeChat-gated free water, and the "AI+" vibe — why WAIC 2026 felt less like an AI conference than a sector-by-sector snapshot of China's entire economy being supercharged with AI, with attendance swelling to some 200,000 tickets16:32 – Why Xi showed up: what the leader's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive AI statement to date signal, and why domestic drivers matter as much as geopolitics18:01 – Chapter and verse: which phrases from the speech will be put to work in the system — "secure and orderly development" and the governance of agents, and Xi's strikingly extensive language on AI safety after China was frozen out of the Paris process22:26 – The ānquán problem: one word meaning both "safety" and "security," the three buckets of AI risk, and how China's safety community has moved from bias and deepfakes toward CBRN and loss-of-control concerns — Black Mirror versus Star Trek28:14 – Shanghai's baby: how WAIC's ownership structure differs from the CAC-run World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Chen Jining's very visible host duties, and whether the center of gravity in AI policy is shifting to the Yangtze River Delta30:05 – WAICO: what the new World AI Cooperation Organization with its 29 founding members is actually for, Xi's concrete deliverables for the Global South — 5,000 AI training slots, regional cooperation centers, the MAZU early-warning system — and healthy skepticism about follow-through34:39 – Kimi K3: what's technically significant in Moonshot's big new model, why it's the fourth arguably frontier-class Chinese release in a single month, the two-way traffic in distillation accusations, and what it all says about the state of the frontier gap four years into export controls40:33 – Washington reacts: the reported menu of options for shutting Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. — entity listings, a draft executive order, supply-chain security authorities — and why none of the tools actually fit the problem49:36 – Strange bedfellows: David Sacks versus the "closed lab duopoly," the FUD strategy, why some 80% of Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies reportedly run on Chinese open models, and how gating U.S. frontier models while Chinese weights flow freely supercharges the AI sovereignty argument worldwide54:55 – The model is infrastructure, the agent is the product: the ByteDance–ZTE agentic phone, the CAC's new initiative on agent trust and interoperability, and why agents fused into operating systems upend both super-app walled gardens and China's data protection regime1:02:27 – An exegesis of kěkòng: the many meanings of "controllable," the long history of ānquán kěkòng in Chinese tech policy, and the unanswered question of who — CAC, NDRC, or somebody new — actually owns AI safety in either system1:08:54 – The road to September: what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue, why Mythos tops the Chinese grievance list, the securitization feedback loop that starves trust-and-safety advocates of resources on both sides, and why recursive self-improvement makes this feel like a last, best chancePaying It ForwardPaul nominates Tony Peng, whose Substack RecodeChinaAI offers sharp, well-written analysis of the application side of China's AI industry — part of an impressive new generation of independent China tech writers. Samm gives a shout-out to Professor Zhu Yue of Tongji University Law School, published in Science and doing pioneering work at the intersection of disability law and AI law.RecommendationsSamm: The Land and Its People by David Sedaris — laugh-out-loud funny, especially the "Enough is Enough" chapter; Transcription by Ben Lerner, a perfect small novel about fathers, sons, memory, and technology as enabler or disabler of connection; and Didion and Babitz, on Joan Didion and Eve Babitz and the 1970s California rock scene.Paul: The Party's Interests Come First by Joseph Torigian — dense but beautifully written, and essential for understanding the current Chinese leadership.Kaiser: A fiction-only summer! Stoner by John Williams, a small life told most grandly in some of the most beautiful sentence-level writing anywhere; Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, an epistolary novel dense with distilled wisdom from a dying Iowa minister; and Wang Xiaobo's The Golden Age (黄金时代) in Yan Yan's excellent new translation — bawdy, hilarious, and super Beijing-y despite its Cultural Revolution setting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Lonely Stoner Podcast is officially on the move! For the very first mobile setup session, we're passing the mics to Hitman Rod (from Texas Loud House and The Roommates) and the newly minted 30-year-old, AJ.This episode is the perfect balance of elevated real talk and completely off-the-rails comedy. We get deep into what it takes to break generational curses, the wild financial lessons our parents unintentionally taught us, and why true character means treating the janitor with the exact same respect as the CEO.But it's not all heavy hitting, we also take a hilarious trip down memory lane. From the immunity-boosting powers of drinking straight from the garden hose to AJ's incredibly passionate Jurassic World T-Rex narrations, this is a legendary rotation you don't want to skip.In this session, we spark up conversations on:The Big 3-0: AJ reflects on entering a new decade and the absolute necessity of keeping your circle tight and surrounding yourself with like-minded people.Breaking the Cycle: Raw, honest talk on generational curses, overcoming bad credit, and finally understanding the sacrifices our parents had to make.America the "Las Vegas of the Globe": Breaking down the wild, sin-city state of the world post-pandemic.The Nostalgia Trip: Growing up in strict households, trying to hide Lil Wayne lyrics, and surviving the water hose era.Pure Chaos: Questionable British accents, the "Smart Chihuahua" defense, and why you should never let Hitman Rod narrate a nature documentary.Grab your lighter, kick back, and lock in.

In this episode, I talk with Jack Friday (a.k.a John Fram) about his new P.I. series Killer Vibes! Listen to hear all about: Building a detective unlike the classic hard-boiled heroes: How Peter Key became a lazy, bisexual, stoner private investigator whose sincerity, humor, and curiosity make him feel fresh while still honoring classic noir traditions. The art of writing humor that actually lands: Why he never writes "jokes" on purpose, how Peter's personality naturally creates comedy, and why sincerity is the secret ingredient behind the book's funniest moments. Balancing creativity with the business of publishing: From choosing genres strategically to discussing pen names, annual series deadlines, Hollywood adaptations, and why chasing trends rarely works, John offers an honest look at the publishing industry behind the scenes. Creating memorable characters and a setting that feels like one: How Austin became a character in its own right, why supporting characters like LaShirl practically wrote themselves, and how an unexpected inheritance became the perfect origin story for Peter Key. Why John Fram created the Jack Friday pen name: John shares how Peter Key's voice and the desire to write an ongoing mystery series naturally led to a new identity, allowing readers to distinguish these books from his horror novels while giving him room to build a long-running detective franchise.

¿Qué significa ser profesor hoy?A partir de Historia de una maestra, de Josefina Aldecoa, Antonio Martínez Asensio conversa con la escritora y profesora Bibiana Collado sobre los desafíos de la educación actual: la escuela pública, la inteligencia artificial, el bullying, la lectura entre los jóvenes y el papel de los docentes en una sociedad en constante transformación.Un episodio que conecta literatura y realidad para preguntarse qué ha cambiado en las aulas, qué sigue igual y por qué educar sigue siendo una de las tareas más importantes de nuestro tiempo.Además, hablamos de libros como Stoner, Adiós, Mr. Chips, El señor de las moscas o Agnes Grey, y de películas y series como La lengua de las mariposas, Merlí o Adolescencia.
Today's episode? Prophecy under the microscope. No fortune cookies, no vague predictions—just bold, history-shaking, cross-centered TRUTH. The world says faith and reason can't mix. The world says belief is for the weak. The world says the Bible's just a book.We say: Watch God's Word stand the test.We walk through the evidence—prophecies foretold, fulfilled, and impossible to ignore. We highlight the messianic bulls-eye, the rise and fall of empires, the resurrection of Israel itself. And we name the real cost: ridicule, opposition, relentless attacks… but never a retreat.This is the line in the sand. Jesus is still Lord—yesterday, today, and forever.What will YOU do when tested? Will you hide, or will you stand?Buckle up, brothers and sisters. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth."Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." –Isaiah 46:9-10Episode Highlights06:30 - The God of the Bible does something that no other God, religion, philosophy, worldview, spiritual guru, psychic, fortune teller or religious text has ever successfully done in the history of the world. He predicts the future...Not after the fact, not in vague language, not in symbolic statements that can be twisted to mean anything...Instead, he predicts specific events before they happen, and then those events happen.35:39 - Even if Stoner's calculations were dramatically reduced, the conclusion would remain the exact same. The odds would still be absurdly small...Imagine winning the Powerball lottery. Now imagine doing it again and again and again and again. At some point, nobody would believe luck was responsible. They would have to assume that something else was happening.46:51 - The greatest miracle isn't that God predicted the future. The greatest miracle is that God entered history. The prophecies point to Jesus. The evidence points to Jesus. The Old Testament points to Jesus. The New Testament points to Jesus. History points to Jesus. The question isn't whether the Bible has been accurate. The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that it has. The question is whether we'll respond to the one the prophecies reveal.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

RTB's sister podcast, Novel Dialogue, spoke recently with Aaron Gwyn. He is the author of four novels: The World Beneath, Wynne's War, and, most recently, two wonderfully linked historical novels, All God's Children, which won the Oklahoma Book award, and The Cannibal Owl. In his conversation with Sean McCann of Wesleyan (A Pinnacle of Feeling: American Literature and Presidential Government and Gumshoe America: Hard-Boiled Crime Fiction and the Rise and Fall of New Deal Liberalism), we learn that Robert Lemmons is a real historical figure and so is Levi English. One way to grasp Gwyn's achievement is to consider the contrast between his durably realist work and Cormac McCarthy's 1985 Blood Meridian. Much as Aaron and Sean admire that novel, McCarthy's characters strike them as monstrous and incredible. How about Charles Portis's True Grit, asks John? Aaron loves it for its ventriloquizing power, and its truth-loving willingness to weave in unsettling back stories like Rooster Cogburn's ties to Quantrill's Rangers, an eerily modern pro-Confederate terrorist paramilitary. In NOvel Dialogue's "signature question," we learn why Aaron's favorite teacher was Robert Hill, Pink-Floyd-loving drummer and perennial inspiration (audio here). Mentioned in this episode: Richard Slotkin's notion of “the man who knows Indians” comes from Gunfighter Nation Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) Herman Melville, Moby Dick William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! Toni Morrison, Beloved Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow John Williams, Stoner (but also Butcher's Crossing –-which John loves— and Augustus, which did indeed split the National Book Award (not the Pulitzer) in 1973 with John Barth's Chimera.

Episode 423: Francis Mawson Rattenbury designed the BC Parliament Buildings, the Empress Hotel, and the building that now houses the Vancouver Art Gallery, as well as many others. He was the most celebrated architect in the province for thirty years. In 1935, he was beaten to death in his armchair in a rented house in Bournemouth, England, by his wife Alma's teenage lover, a chauffeur named George Percy Stoner. Both Alma Rattenbury and Stoner confessed. The trial at the Old Bailey gripped the English-speaking world. What happened after the trial was even more shocking than the murder.

This week on The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel, we had a change of plans. The sequel we originally wanted to cover, McBride: Semper Fi, was only available in a grainy, nearly unwatchable version, so for our 420th episode, we pivoted to something much more appropriate: Cheech & Chong's Next Movie.And honestly? It may have been fate.The iconic comedy duo returns for a sequel that somehow manages to be even more ridiculous, meandering, and hilarious than the original. There's no real plot, no real destination, and somehow that's exactly the point.We dig into everything, including:
Send us Fan MailA $1.76 billion compensation fund can sound like justice in one headline and like political payback in the next and that split is where we start. We talk through the emotional math behind “restitution,” why accountability feels necessary to some people, and why others see selectivity and retribution hiding inside the language. The same policy can read as repair or punishment depending on where you stand, and that uneasy gray area is the real story.Then we change gears and head to a place that should be peaceful: a golf course. We unpack what happens when a quiet solo round gets disrupted by slow play and the request to “join up.” Golf etiquette turns into social negotiation, and the game stops being about the course and becomes about managing people, pacing, and the awkward moment when someone wants advice you can't give without starting a mini conflict.From there it's a Harrisonburg car wash and a single line that says everything about modern customer service and generational communication: “Yeah, dude, but the vacuums are free.” We dig into what “free” really means in a business model, why expectations matter, and how two people can have completely different frameworks while believing they're being perfectly reasonable. We close with something harder to explain: synchronicity, a strangely timed call from a friend 3,933 miles away, and a story about a knock at the door that changes a family's trajectory, all pointing to the possibility that human connection runs on an unseen frequency.If any of this hits close to home, listen through and tell us where you land.

Isaac Stoner, CEO of MindImmune Therapeutics, a drug discovery company pioneering a new class of medicines for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.Isaac has built his career moving between the founder seat and the investor seat. He was the founding CEO of Octagon Therapeutics, the first team member at liquid biopsy company Firefly BioWorks and has evaluated life science companies for investment at Slater Technology Fund, PureTech Health, KdT and Action Potential Venture Capital. At MindImmune Therapeutics, he is chasing one of the boldest ideas in neuroscience: that Alzheimer's may in fact be an autoimmune disease that presents in the brain.In this episode Isaac explains why the amyloid hypothesis that has dominated Alzheimer's research for 30 years has run its course, and why MindImmune is taking an immunology-first approach built on brain tissue donated by Alzheimer's patients. He breaks down the three biggest risk factors for the disease, how he pitched a 30 million dollar Series A on a condition where 99.9% of drugs have failed and what it would mean to develop a therapy bigger than the GLP-1 weight loss drugs.We also get into the founder-to-investor-to-founder journey, why a brilliant scientific founder is often the wrong person to sit in the CEO seat and the hard truths every aspiring biotech founder needs to hear before striking out on their own.Timestamps[00:02:50] Why a Career Investor Keeps Getting Pulled Back Into Building[00:05:25] Shutting Down Octagon Therapeutics and the Chip It Left Behind[00:07:10] Why MindImmune Treats Alzheimer's as an Autoimmune Disease[00:08:20] Why 30 Years of the Amyloid Hypothesis Has Run Its Course[00:10:05] The Three Biggest Risk Factors for Alzheimer's and What You Can Do[00:12:15] How He Raised a $30 Million Series A on the Hardest Disease in Medicine[00:15:30] Why 99.9% of Alzheimer's Drugs Fail and What Makes This Different[00:18:35] Why a Brilliant Scientific Founder Is Often the Wrong CEO[00:22:20] Where MindImmune Goes Next: AMD, ALS and Beyond[00:28:00] Final Advice: Get Into Biotech for the Right ReasonsConnect with Isaac - https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaacstoner/Learn more about MindImmune Therapeutics - https://www.mindimmune.com/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalMedical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - https://www.bywater.co.uk/

A Note from James:Today on The James Altucher Show, I'm excited to welcome back one of my favorite guests, David Epstein.David is the bestselling author of Range, which completely changed how I think about my own jack-of-all-trades life. In his new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, David flips the usual idea of creativity on its head. We're always told that creativity comes from total freedom: the blank page, the blank canvas, unlimited resources. But David shows that the opposite is often true. Constraints can make us more creative, more focused, and better at solving problems.We talk about why General Magic had unlimited talent and money but still fell apart, while Pixar thrived by using strict story rules. We talk about Dr. Seuss writing Green Eggs and Ham with only 50 words, Bach boxing himself into fugues, Duke Ellington working inside the limits of early recording technology, and how the periodic table came out of a textbook deadline.This conversation gave me a new way to think about my own writing, podcasting, and creative process. So if you ever feel stuck, blocked, or overwhelmed by too many options, this episode is for you.Episode Description:James talks with David Epstein about a counterintuitive idea: creativity often improves when freedom is limited. David's new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, argues that blank-slate freedom can push people toward obvious, repetitive solutions, while the right constraints force the brain to search for something new.The conversation moves across business, science, music, writing, sports, and education. David explains why General Magic had nearly unlimited resources and still failed to build a useful product, why Pixar's storytelling rules helped it create hit after hit, and why Dr. Seuss became more original by writing inside strict word limits. James connects the idea to writing, podcasting, public speaking, genre fiction, and the hero's journey.What makes the episode useful is that it gives creators and learners a practical reframe. If you're stuck, the answer may not be more freedom. It may be a better box.What You'll Learn:Why total freedom often leads to less original work.How constraints force creativity by blocking the most convenient solution.Why Pixar succeeded with storytelling rules while General Magic struggled with too much freedom.How Dr. Seuss used strict word limits to transform children's books.Why Bach, Duke Ellington, jazz, genre fiction, and the hero's journey all show the creative power of structure.How to use specific questions, projects, and “brain first, tool second” learning to improve creativity and education.Why later specialization can produce better long-term results than picking a lane too early.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Why blocking the easiest solution can spark creativity[02:49] A Note from James: David Epstein returns[04:09] Remembering in-person interviews vs. Zoom interviews[04:23] Memory, mnemonics, and what we forget over time[06:34] How Range helped James rethink being a generalist[08:23] The core idea of Inside the Box[09:07] Why the blank slate often fails[10:01] General Magic and the problem of too much freedom[12:05] Pixar as the opposite model[13:17] The three-pitches rule and small-team story development[14:21] The hero's journey as a storytelling constraint[15:25] George Lucas, Neil Gaiman, and inherited story structures[16:19] How David structured Inside the Box[17:06] The real story behind the periodic table[18:00] Why the Mendeleev dream story is probably false[19:09] Bach, Duke Ellington, and musical constraint[20:12] Bach as a “constraint zealot”[21:43] Dr. Seuss and the word-limit breakthrough[23:13] Beginner Books and the rules that changed children's literature[25:20] Practical constraints for writers, painters, and creators[25:45] Specific curiosity and idea linking[27:41] How David uses a master thought list[29:45] How specific questions powered David's earlier books[31:00] Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, and delayed specialization[33:00] Why generalists often win later[34:01] Why chess and golf are poor models for most learning[36:31] How parents can use constraints to help kids learn[37:15] The constraints-led approach to coaching[38:30] Swim coaching and letting learners find their own solution[39:15] Teaching astronomy through specific projects[40:37] The generation effect: why guessing improves learning[42:00] “Brain first, tool second” in the age of AI[43:26] Why developing brains benefit from analog difficulty[44:18] Early specialization in the UK vs. broader sampling[45:00] Why later specializers can win long-term[46:21] James on applying constraints to writing and podcasting[47:32] Jazz, grammar, and improvisation inside limits[48:01] Genre fiction and creativity within rules[49:21] Why originality became linked to total freedom[50:14] Communicating with an audience through familiar forms[51:13] Stoner, plot, and literary constraint[53:04] James suggests a constraints workbook[54:24] Writing on the subway and using life's limits[55:04] Closing thoughts on Inside the BoxAdditional Resources:David Epstein's official websiteInside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better official book pageInside the Box on AmazonRange: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World official book pageRange on AmazonDavid Epstein's Range Widely newsletter.

Hi hi! I have a mixed bag solo for you from the foot of my bed with a little bit of everything: my recent trip to Costa Rica, adult friendship anxiety, getting time away from all the usual routines of life and motherhood, screaming under a waterfall....and then straight back to loading the dishwasher and answering school emails. But seriously, this trip to Costa Rica with a group of women I didn't know so well was way outside my comfort zone, and it truly cracked me open in the best way. Plus, the acts that stood out at Hilarity for Charity, my latest Bravo thoughts, finishing out the school year with Sonny, and how I'm all of a sudden a nap person. Love you all!
