Buckle up for a conversation that goes everywhere and nowhere all at once. We’re sitting down with Professor Christopher Robinson to talk about everything from the psychology of childhood resilience and growing up in a children’s home to the literal trials of the Oregon Trail.
​We’re diving into "debauchery," why everyone seems to be "flicking each other off" as a love language, and the strange mystery of the "Snuggie-wearing" AT hiker. Whether we’re discussing the "buttery" tones of a voice, the deep history of Disney animations, or why the holidays can be a total mind-fuck, this episode is "human as f***."
​Grab a Fresca (mixed with vodka, obviously), and join us for some spiritual alchemy, accidental "cock-blocking" by 19th-century literature, and a look at why life is really just about dealing with the "bad shit" that happens to everyone.
​In this episode:
​The "Christopher Robin" origin story.
​Growing up in a children's home vs. an orphanage.
​The "Billion Seconds" book project and traveling historical trails.
​Surviving an "unpaid sabbatical" and gluing Walmart shoes back together.
​The etiquette of being a good (or terrible) guest.
​Why Mickey Mouse’s first words were "Hot Dogs."
