What if you don't want to change?

Well, hello to everyone who listens, watches us regularly, but a very, very special hello, well, first of all, to our guests, but also the group of people who tune in once every four years to The Imperfects when we have Esther Perel on.

So welcome back.

It's been a while.

Good to have you back.

Because we have Astaire on today.

And, geez, we're excited.

We're excited.

It's good to see you again, Astaire.

No need to say violently.

You can just say ill.

That's very hard to get over, very hard.

For the several people out there who don't know who Esther Perel is, what are you doing?

But also, this is huge.

Do you want to explain who this wonderful woman is?

So is a human and an AI having a relationship?

So are you on the podcast talking to the AI?

Wow.
