Chapter 1: What are the issues with leaf blowers?
My take is that leaf blowers need to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
100% agree. I was in Miami the other day. Yes. I literally saw a guy blowing one leaf. But where was he blowing it?
It was on the beach, on the boardwalk. He was blowing one leaf. So maybe he was trying to blow the sand.
No, no, no. I was watching him.
So he'd been blowing that leaf probably from five blocks away. It had finally got onto the beach. And his employer had said, if you don't fucking get rid of that leaf, you are done.
No, I had this thought. I said, whatever happened to Riggs?
No, see, this is the thing. Not only are leaf blowers ugly and they're noise polluting, then your neighbors hate you because in the end all you're doing is blowing the leaves onto your neighbor's lawn. So it's really bad for neighbor relations. They're really bad for your health, not only your ears. Oh, I didn't know this.
But I think the rise of cardiac problems has gone through the roof because people are not doing the physical exercise.
Oh.

Chapter 2: Why do people prefer blowing leaves instead of sucking them?
Well, my thumb hurts, so I had to convert to this. Because I used to do this. But now this hurts. So now I do this.
So how do you eat? How do I eat? With your hands. No, no, but how do you use a knife and fork?
Not like this.
But don't you use it? Your thumbs are really important digits.
Or you're just resting it. No, no, so I massage my thumb. I actually bought this thing from Japan where I massage my thumb. Back to the leaf blower conversation, though. What I've never understood, and somebody brought this up to me the other day, is why do they blow instead of suck?
Like a vacuum cleaner. But see, you still wouldn't solve the pollution problem. No, I agree. Unless you had a leaf blower the size of Texas. I'm just saying in general. But the stupidity, this is the thing, it's a metaphor for what's wrong with us as a species, is we blow shit from one side of our lawn to the other side, and then the wind is just going to blow it back.
Yeah.
And what does that solve?
Well, it's also like a snowblower. Why are we obsessed with blowing?

Chapter 3: What makes dirty white sneakers a symbol of fornication?
Oh, you take the tube.
Yeah, I live in the country.
I've done this on the tube.
What, done a podcast?
Yeah, this is technically the world's shortest podcast.
This is the world's shortest podcast. I think more podcasts.
Yeah, okay, more podcasts. She's in. Men should have to menstruate once a year.
I think men should have to menstruate every month. No, twice a month.
Twice?

Chapter 4: What is the plot of Cate's new movie Black Bag?
Well, it has to.
I know.
Yeah. But after that, it's just like, and it just comes out.
I don't mind the other stuff. It was really just the body, because it becomes very extraterrestrial.
It does. But after it's all over, like when it happened to me and I'm fortunate, I had three easy, relatively easy births. I just wanted a cheese sandwich. It was the first thing I wanted. It's like, yeah. Easy to please. I want to have another baby and a cheese sandwich.
Easy to please. In that order. All right. Certain compliments mean more coming from certain races. So an example that I gave is that if a black guy tells you you look cool, it means you really, really look very cool.
Okay, but what if it's a black guy who's dressed so badly?
It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen?

Chapter 5: How does marriage affect your perspective on relationships?
Chapter 6: What is the significance of the word 'felucca'?
Yeah, I've done it four times, well, three times.
Three and a half? Yeah.
Three and a half.
Three and a half. Yeah, I mean, I've always known that women were stronger than men. Facts. That is true. But then after you see the physical, like the pregnancy and the birth, I think it's just, you just... Are you okay with blood? I'm okay with blood, but I don't know if I'm okay with the head coming out of the vagina.
Well, it has to.
I know.
Yeah. But after that, it's just like, and it just comes out.
I don't mind the other stuff. It was really just the body, because it becomes very extraterrestrial.
