Joe Rogan said he'd never, ever had a dog shouted out on the program. Sassy is a first.

He had a great skiing concussion story. I suggested that all MFA programs include a solid shot to the head.

Finishing up Cain’s “One Kick” with the title character dealing with a concussion. Still, after reading a different book dealing much with the odd effects of head trauma my favorite side-effect is Anton’s Syndrome/blindsight. Rule 34 hasn’t, to my knowledge, negated that disability yet.

I can't believe it's been three years since your first appearance on JRE. Another reminder that I've totally lost track of time.

Wait. Did I spell remorse wrong? Did I forget a "photo of the fu" of? That's how exhausted I am. The essence of Burnt Tongue is to make such mistakes intentionally to suggest fatigue and stress.

How the typo tables have turned...

I would also like to retroactively blame the cause of my past typos on fatigue and not a reliance on autocorrect and or illiteracy.

Yeah. And Fu dogs ought to be Foo Dogs. I am a douche. Shout out to Eden in Chicago who taught me I'm a douche.

Well Shishi works also, but was there more than one? Typically these statues come in pairs.

Yes, there were two, but I opted for a close-up of the one. Rogan said they still hadn't resolved the studio in Burbank so I assume the werewolf is still there.

You should ask Chelsea Cain about her purchase of 300-pound hand-carved teak chairs shaped like giant crabs.

Does she lurk on here or should I go bother her on substack and ask her about her crabs? You know asking a lady about her crabs doesn't seem like a very polite thing to do.

Hey Chelsea, Chuck told me you had crabs. Can I see a picture of them? Don't worry, I work in the medical field so I promise to abide by HIPPA and not share the pictures.

Looking forward to listen to it!

Nice point about sexualisation as a way to negate. It made me also think that infantalisation is also a way to negate. We don't see motherhood as frightening or powerful if we regard it as cute and cuddly. We don't see men beating up other men as horrifying if we think of them as angry little boys who never grew up. Lots to think about today when writing.

One of the catalyzing elements of the French Revolution was a flood of smutty comic books printed in Switzerland. The books showed the French royal family sexually engaged with clergy and animals. As propaganda created for illiterate people, it undermined any awe or respect the lower classes had for the monarchy. These days those smutty little books are worth a fortune.

You're responsible for inciting chaos and fainting with a single essay. I don't think cancel culture can touch you. Besides all of your fans are the ride or die types.

Chuck if you talk to Joe again tell him I have an idea for his podcast and I need a way to get through to him that I know he will actually see it. I was not able to talk to him at his recent show in Nashville that I attended as the crowd was to large but I would have given anything to party with him at Kid Rock’s!

Yes, Billy. I'm phoning Joe right this minute.

Tell him that he needs to get a wireless mouse to take over for Jaime after he brings up something they are searching for that way he doesn’t have to communicate constantly with Jaime and get frustrated when he doesn’t click on what he wants him too.

My friend David Cohen said: "It’s only cancel culture when it comes from the Cancelle region of France; otherwise it’s just sparkling consequences".
