Hello! In this episode I talk about recently turning 28, building my PC, and I talk about normy life stuff like puppy etiquette and pulling weeds. I also realized looking back that I forgot to upload that picture of my PC over the video whenever I talk about it. I guess it will remain a mystery. Thanks for listening!

I uploaded the ENTIRE transcript to this video to ChatGPT and asked it to give me a description. It generated the following: "In this video, the speaker shares their personal experience of adjusting to life as a new parent. They discuss the difficulty they are currently facing in reaching a state of flow, and attribute this to their disrupted sleep schedule and the presence of their newborn and partner in close proximity. The speaker also mentions starting therapy next week and gives a shout-out to Whole Foods for making therapy a part of their medical insurance plan. The speaker concludes by expressing their intention to take it easy and focus on themselves, and promises to provide more details about the birth in a future episode."Pretty unbelievable^ Thank you ChatGPT haha.TIMECODES: 0:00 - Failed Podcast:)
