House of Maher · John Green Gets REAL: OCD, Consumption Core & Working with Hank · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

And I think that was really something that stuck with us is this how they idolize this consumption beauty. voice-verified

wasting away and these paintings they made of people and how the sunken eyes the swollen cheeks or the sunken cheeks like voice-verified

at its core is a sickness, but they've somehow, like they are today, making it this beautiful thing. voice-verified

certain populations and then the voice-verified

thinking, I was like, yeah, remember monkey packs? voice-verified

That was like two seconds because it was affecting a certain demographic of people. voice-verified

And like we acted on it. voice-verified

sort of but you know in a way yeah and like there's not much else there or like and then he talks about if tb were to come back and be really reared up in the white population can you imagine how fast unbelievable voice-verified

researchers would be on it again i think the emphasis you put at the end of the book about um a super bug and drug resistant tb and how that could spread um and be hard to treat was a really great way to end it because it left people like this isn't a problem of the past yeah voice-verified

or it's curable if only there's money now, that this is a problem of the future as well. voice-verified

I think you wrapped up that book amazingly, and it was scary of like, we dealt with COVID, and if this thing mutates, you have another pandemic on your hands. voice-verified

Slow growing, as you said. voice-verified

Yeah, voice-verified

One thing we were talking about before this episode was how you say that death is natural. voice-verified

But in this day and age, we've kind of... voice-verified

it's almost not anymore. voice-verified

And we don't think of it in that way. voice-verified

You talk to children. voice-verified

Death is natural. voice-verified
