I've been to 12 funerals. My roommate, my brother, and then my best friend have all died. And I'm in therapy. That's not what I'm calling about. Just freshly high? I don't know. Maybe stop having your loved ones die. Find the gypsy that cursed your family and return her talisman to her.

Return the talisman your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother stole from her, and all will be alright. You must carry your great-grandmother over a mountain. Okay, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Just move out of the town that Michael Myers is stalking. Let me guess, it's Jamie Lee Curtis again.

Oh, fuck. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. We're serious. I'm in therapy. That's not what I'm calling about. But I feel like, you know, once I start going on dates, it's a little awkward to avoid trauma dumping when people ask about my friends, my time in college, or my family. It's like, pfft.

Yeah, let's talk about something else. So I want to know if you have any advice on how and when to bridge this subject and how to do so without just jumping on someone, you know?

Thanks, I appreciate it. First of all, you've got to sympathize with this guy because at what point do you start becoming suspected of being a serial killer? If all these people are dying around you. I'm like, I'm seeing the common thread here. I'm sad now. Yeah, this is a tough one. Like literally, as soon as you get high, you have to think about this. By the way, here you go, Elders.

But it's not a question about around like setting boundaries about talking about like if you want to date Yeah, how to tell someone you're starting to date that everyone in your life died. Yeah, that's a tough one Everyone close to you died. Yeah, it's also something cuz it's like you don't be judged for it either cuz it's like yeah That's a lot. There's a lot of baggage that comes with that you would think so if you're like somebody who just wants to have a fun relationship and

You know, you don't want... Basically, you don't want them to disqualify you because you're going through this stuff. You know, and there's all these rules now of, like, where you're supposed to hold off on saying and not say. Yeah. And, like, for the first, I don't know...

I guess... I would not do the trickle death. I would not like... Slowly. Oh, he died, he died, he died, he died. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would just be all at once like, dude, my past careers have been cuckoo bananas. Yeah, actually, that's probably... That's a good point. If... I would say, if at all possible...

just kind of avoid it in the beginning dates, right? Like, try and steer the conversation away. Pretend like you're hiding a secret family, but it's actually like, you know, all these deaths. Yeah, Don Graper it a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Like, college? Oh, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How was your salad? I was a poor child. Yeah. I mean, look, if somebody asks you about, like, yeah, if somebody asks you about college,

Do you have to say that your roommate died? Can you bring up the rest of your college experience? Have questions ready to go back to them. Because if there's something that you definitely don't want to be talking about, they're going to ask you about your family, not knowing that they died. Like, what does your dad do? What does your mom do? Say, well, my dad did this. Ask them another question immediately before they get a chance to really ask a follow-up. It's a lot to share with someone, too. Yeah. And then maybe the other person might end up also sharing, and then you guys get connected over maybe something you don't want to be. Yeah.

Yeah, you might you want to treat this conversation like your like think of your think of a first date like your the stuff you want to share as has like Okay, oh is it fireworks Halloween fireworks, yeah, there's no way it's like a fucking gunshot Halloween fireworks that is weird. That's not so story, baby I've heard

Maybe there's more. They're called jack-o'-lanterns. It's either the finale or a mass shooting. Podcasting through a shooting. I don't know.

In a story, I have heard one single solitary firework go off on a Tuesday before. People be playing. But you're right. I did say that like it was, well, you know. It must be the Halloween fireworks. The classic tradition of Halloween fireworks. Oh, they're a little early this year. It looks like the Labor Day trick-or-treaters are at my door. Yes, I miss them.

Trick or treaters. Coming. Yeah, this feels like it's going to be a particularly bad episode of Chris Brothers. I am so high already. Just don't bring it up, dude. Anyway, how have you guys been?
