You look great.

Yeah, I've looked amazing.

Good to do.

Thanks.

But, you know, so I don't, I just, and again, that can change, that can, you know, I had a really horrible time of six months where I was in and out of the hospital all the time, chemotherapy, I lost my hair, you know, a lot of things happened.

But even within that, I do think I was accepting and like,

again the gifts like I mean I don't want to be boring and cliched on your podcast but you know to meet the people that you meet in the matter public hospital when you go in through these things is a gift it is amazing because you don't see them ordinarily like I meet a lot of people in my work because I interview people but I have never been that close to those people and I really feel close to them like I was in there the other day and Albert was there and you know he gave me a hug like just out of the blue just came over when Terry and I gave me a hug and I just like

I really feel very close I have an intimate relationship with some people that I have no knowledge of I don't know of their lives or what they do but god like I'm emotional thinking about it because it is really special these people's job is to get up every day and make people like me feel a bit better about some really crappy shit things that are going on in them and they go and they do that and they're lovely and they're all different and they're all doing it in their own different ways you know different personalities and that's amazing

I really do.

I mean, I love meeting strangers, you know.

I love strangers.

I just love meeting people I don't know and striking up some kind of... Finding that commonality all the time.

Because that's the thing, you know.

We talked about connection earlier.

Like, it is so true.

That's why all this stuff... And I don't want to be all pious and everything, but that's why this stuff about immigration upsets me so much, you know.

Because that's sort of... I'm going to say shared humanity.

It's not going to sound bad, but I...

That's why it upsets me because, like, I just have that real sense of us all.

I know, but it's that universality of our experiences.
