Episode 154 The Scariest Interview Ever, Lookout It’s My Mommy

Thirty minutes and I didn’t cuss or get a hand print.

 

Today's Topic Looking back about Fantasy, SciFi, and Worldbuilding with my mommy.

I do not consider imagination on of the important Worldbuilding skills. I consider it an important skill for life. So as I approached this interview I was overwhelmed with fear. I have been lucky to hold on to the imagine that gripped me as a child.  I can see myself doing anything at any time.

No metaphors, I can see myself doing anything at anytime… well not that sicko

No bs, I can see little visions of me in situation play out like a movie in my head.  As I approached this interview.  I could see my mom revealing all the stupid shit I did as a kid.  And she would reveal it in vivid 4k and 4t TERROR vision.

So What!

However, I then realized even if she did.  I love being a ham.  And making people laugh at me is a great way to reduce stress in others.  So check out this episode, let me know if I look the fool or not.  Mom and I had lots of fun recording this.  I hope you have fun sitting in as we remember.
