Yay. But I figured if there was any podcast that I could do from this bed, it would be this one. Yes.

It's perfection.

Well, I didn't sleep very well last night because I'm trying to sleep tape.

Have you seen this on the, it's kind of everywhere right now?

What is it?

It's like it keeps your mouth shut, which is good because I always want to go.

Oh.

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay, I'm from Gen X. So when you say sleep tape, I think it's going to be like a cassette tape with some sleep music.

You're going to have to explain what a cassette tape is to Dylan.

Yes. I do like retro things, but I'm not in my cassette era yet. No, but this sleep tape, I think I got it. I'm kind of of the camp where I think if I get one thing, it's going to change my entire life and everything will be fixed. So I bought this because, you know, they said it snatches your jaw and you get the best night's sleep of your life. I have like insomnia. I don't know why I thought that putting a piece of duct tape on my mouth was going to, like, get me 12 hours.

And then what also confuses me about this one is there's a hole in it.

And I feel like isn't that defeat the purpose?

So I started eating these, like, hot chips last night through the hole.
