Today’s episode kicks off with a heartfelt, deeply spiritual rant about my eternal feud with Valencia—yes, the city in Spain. There is a backstory, and no, I’m not repeating it here; you’ll have to listen to the podcast to understand why Valencia and I are never, ever getting back together. But shout-out to the wonderful audiences in Spain—you were lovely, even if your geography betrayed me.

Then I launch into an update on my recovery, because I’ve been ill—did I mention I’d been ill?—and Christmas is looming like a giant, festive migraine. Especially in Norway, where December is basically someone turning the universe’s dimmer switch to “off.” Every time you go outside, it’s like stepping directly into the abyss. Very atmospheric. Very harrowing. Very “Nordic noir,” but without the murder mystery—unless you count my will to live.

I also reveal my glamorous recovery method, which is watching an obscene number of Julia Roberts movies. Truly, nothing gets you through long hours of illness like Julia smiling her way through situations that would emotionally level the rest of us.

And then, naturally, I detour into a passionate thesis on why Christian men are definitely gay—or at least deeply allergic to their own feelings. Which leads to a broader rant about men and emotional vulnerability: not that men struggle, but that they refuse to admit they’re struggling, as if feelings are some sort of contagious weakness. Cue another spiral. Cue another rant.

So yes. A fun, cheerful episode for the whole family.
