00:00:00.000I have been asked, what does adulting, what does this sort of thing have to do with the religion of loss of truth?
00:00:07.680And the answer to me is that religion is about bettering ourselves, in addition to, of course, worshiping the gods and demonstrating our fealty to our ancestors and to the holy powers.
00:00:23.640But also, it is about making ourselves better people.
00:00:27.480I even saw the Muppers sticker, although at the time I was too timid to display it, which said, Jesus loves you, but Odin wants you to grow up.
00:00:40.340So along that line, Matt agreed to initiate this series with me so that I could share a little bit of the life advice that I've accumulated over the many decades of my travels here through Midgard and try to pass a little bit of that on to you and hopefully take some feedback from you, answer your questions.
00:01:08.660And I will again remind you that I think of the show as a cumulative experience.
00:01:17.780The topics that we've talked about in the past, we've talked about debt management and finances and some other stuff along that line, health and medicine and working out and those sorts of things.
00:01:32.660And so if you have questions, if you had been watching the show at some point and thought, dang it, I wish I had asked Alan this question back when he was doing this broadcast originally, feel free to type that in and email it to our illustrious host, Nick.
00:01:50.860See, he's behind the scenes back there and running the show and making sure that everything goes as it should, Matt's technical difficulties notwithstanding.
