Florence Given

It's the thing that makes you you.

And I'm not saying lean into it like put it on as a performance because that shit's going to stink too.

I cannot bullshit, by the way.

I cannot show up online and bullshit.

I can't come on this podcast and bullshit.

It makes me feel disgusting.

I can't even do it.

I can't sit in front of the camera and say something that I don't find to be true.

I can't do it.

It doesn't feel good.

It also defeats the point of self-expression.

You tune into my show and listen to me because you want to hear from me.

Could you imagine if I sat here and wrapped all of my words in disclaimers?

And, oh, well, this and this and this, oh, and this perspective, da, da, da, da.

No, you tune into the Florence Given Show because you want to hear from me.

And eventually I will have guests on, right?

I can't fucking wait to chat with other people.

But imagine if you listened to me and you heard me shrinking my words and shrinking my opinions by going, well, well, I guess from this person's perspective, this could be a perspective on the issue of being annoying.

And this and this and this, no, I'm just speaking and expressing myself.

That's my job.
