think I feel the most alone when I'm doing nothing by myself. Now obviously I'm alone. There's no one

0:07.5

around me and I'm doing nothing but being alone, oh my gosh, I don't want to get into the cliche

0:15.1

right away about like being alone is not the same as being lonely. Okay listen, that's so far

0:20.8

fetched like there's so many like sub meanings to that. That's not what we're going with this.

This is a podcast for anyone that feels lonely. It's a hard place to be in and I enjoy it. I'm

0:43.2

the weird one here. The last podcast about being different and we just launched our weird hoodie

0:49.4

and the love has been amazing. If you don't have a weird hoodie yet, go grab one,

0:53.1

they're green, they're soft, they're amazing but I was a weird kid that enjoyed being alone and

2:09.5

night, but I don't take that time to do anything by myself anymore. I don't do things that I

2:19.7

necessarily love. I do things to decompress. I feel like that's what I need to do to decompress

2:26.0

away. I sit on the couch and I watch TV because I'm like, oh, I need to relax. I can't be working,

2:30.0
