Howdy guys,
It seems from what you have all shared over time that you are friends and / or friendly co-workers, so I guess it's good to frame this episode in that understanding. Otherwise, it might have been harder to listen along to. It seemed there was a bit tension. I might have thought it was just how it sounded via the pod, but Jenna's nervous giggle came through loud and clear which sort of underscored tension between the Bobo Boys. Hope it was just an auditory illusion and actually its nothing but happiness in ARIYNBF-land. Love the show always.
I can relate to Alison re: video games to some degree. I used to like playing as a kid, but having not played in a while, it feels as though these new intricate and immersive games have passed me by. It'd be hard to jump into a modern game and not feel lost.
Daniel seems like a tech-savvy guy, so see if he can find a way to hook you up with one of the early Zelda games, LINK TO THE PAST. You won't regret it.

Love you guys so much and look forward to Thursday mornings which is my day to clean, but I have all of you to keep me company and makes it a little bit easier.
Two things about this show I wanted to comment on: 1) VCA is not a exemplary animal hospital, at least the one in Kaneohe, Hawaii. I adopted two young kittens that got sick immediately and I needed a clinic that could take them right away. I ended up going to the clinic 3 days in a row and seeing different doctors. The illness continued but I had to opt to give the kittens IV fluids myself at home because of the cost to take them into the clinic every day. Instead of giving antibiotics right away they guessed on what else they could do for about a week, well the antibiotics ended up saving one but it was too late for the other one. I still get notices that the dead kitten is due for a visit 6 years later. 2) Not speaking baby talk to your child just means you speak to them like you would any other adult. The few words I thought would be cute to use are driving me crazy with my 3 year old, beyond that she has a large vocabulary. Think about it, if your learning a foreign language one does not learn cutesy terms, slang maybe, but usually the proper term.
Also, to the guys bitching about you sharing your grief about Oliver, they can go fuck themselves. Speaking from a mother of a 6 yr old dog baby and a 3 yr old little girl, this article makes sense to me.

Thank you for all the great shows.
I only know who Joe DeRosa is because of Anthony Cumia, so this is why I am justified in making the discussion, that’s just for the record.
This is Anthony’s tweet that got him fired (the others didn’t help, but they would have not gotten him fired without this one as the button).
“There’s a deep seeded problem with violence in the black community. Try
to address it and you’ll be exiled to racistville. But it’s real.”
And that is exactly what happened. Try to argue. Go ahead.
Dear Alison,
I’ve been listening to your podcast for years now, and I usually enjoy it very much. I have been in chronic pain for over twenty years and have been home-bound for the last five years. Your shows usually put me in a better mood, especially the Thursday shows. So when Joe DeRosa started out by saying suicide would be a “healthy” decision for someone with irreversible physical pain, I couldn’t finish listening to the episode. I understand what he meant, but it was something I really did not need to hear.
Yes, I was uncomfortable with that part of the discussion too. It seems like an irresponsible stance to put out there. I at least wish he would have qualified that statement with “severe” pain or something instead of just saying “pain.”
I’m glad he felt comfortable being real with Alison, but not knowing him as a comedian, it’s hard for me to imagine him being funny.
I hope you find some relief. I had excruciating back pain for the past 2 years. I came to believe it was never going away. Thank goodness I don’t care about accomplishing anything or I would have been more suicidal. Then it went away (mostly- but at least that told me it wasn’t a permanent feature). My suspicion is that it was fybromyalgia-like caused by poor/disturbed sleep. I don’t think DeRosa is talking about people like me. Also, keep in mind he started with “who cares what my opinion on suicide is.” And Alison was the one who used the word “healthy.”
I think what he meant was that if someone was in excruciating pain and they didn’t have any hope of relief, such as a terminal illness, that he wouldn’t judge such a person for choosing to end it in the only way available to them. He may have not described it accurately and a lot depends on where you draw the definitional lines, but personally I think holding any other view is cruel and weird to the point that I don’t think one can really mean it. I’d also start with legalizing marijuana (and everything else for people in incurable pain, it’s not like the medical system doesn’t already kill more people with pain killers than “illicit drugs” do, duh). So, I think that is what we meant, compassion dictates that for people who are truly in that category, we should allow anything to them- and we shouldn’t be so selfish as to think that suicide is all something they do to us.
