First 90 secondsGreg· Host0:00
Okay, so do you wanna lead us in?
Mitch· Host0:01
[coughs] Oh, my God, I'm choking.
Greg· Host0:04
Oh, are you okay?
Mitch· Host0:05
Yeah. The Lord doesn't want me to talk about this. Controversial subjects with the facts can be tense. But we are AsapSCIENCE here to make things make sense.
Greg· Host0:14
Today, we're talking about Gregoire's hyper-fixation, his special interest. He's gonna be leading me through a conversation into his mind, into his soul. And we thought it would just be a cute little chance to get to know one another, but I'm sure there'll be some science and interesting stuff, uh, behind it. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Why are you laughing? [laughs] Uh, we just thought this would be a fun, um, little opportunity, and then I was like, "Wait, what? I gotta do an episode on my hyper-fixation too."
Mitch· Host0:45
Zelda?
Greg· Host0:47
Don't spoil it.
Mitch· Host0:49
[laughs] Oh, sorry. [laughs] Zelda, Survivor.
Greg· Host0:52
Yeah, is that what you would say mine are?
Mitch· Host0:54
Those are yours.
Greg· Host0:54
I feel like I always- Yes ... talk about them on the pod.
Mitch· Host0:56
No, yours is, like, I was thinking about it yesterday because I was like, "Oh, what did you talk to your friend about?" And you were like, "Survivor." [laughs] "And then Australian Survivor," and then I was like, "Actually, like, it's all you talk about."
Greg· Host1:08
And Zelda.
Mitch· Host1:08
[laughs] And in, like, an interesting way, like... Sorry, not all you talk about, but, like, you can become exhausted with other times I bring up other conversations, like politics, blah, blah, blah. But it's, like, Survivor and Zelda, you could talk about forever.
Greg· Host1:18
Yeah, what's with that?
Mitch· Host1:20
It's your hyper-fixation. [laughs] Mine's Rosalia and what we're gonna talk about today.
Greg· Host1:24
[laughs] Okay, so do you wanna lead us in?
Mitch· Host1:26
[coughs] Oh, my God, I'm choking.
Greg· Host1:29
Oh, are you okay?
