Episode Transcript: #306 - Christopher Ryan

chris ryan how are you sir thanks for doing this man i really appreciate it good i'm sorry if we

allegedly got you too high before the show to talk well that long commercial gave me a chance

to calm down a little that's what those are good for we stumble through those commercials and sort

of like it's sort of like when you uh have a car and it's a manual and it can't start but you can

push that bitch and then pop the clutch and start and then once it's going you're okay right that's

what it's like so the commercial acts is sort of like a scaffolding for us to get our our our sea

legs under us before we uh venture out into the podcast world right so uh thanks for doing this

man your book if people don't know it's called sex at dawn and uh it was uh suggested to me by our

very good friend duncan trussell and uh i read it and i fucking loved it man it's a really really

interesting stuff you know uh i use the uh the one um one of the things that i read that was that i'd

never heard before was the origins of the word yucatan yeah that's really fascinating stuff man

yeah it was a misunderstanding and that what the what is it a mayan person i mean who would you say

with my mind yeah that what they were saying was essentially i don't understand you when they

were asking what is this place called right they were saying i don't understand you and that i don't

understand you became like in a garbled sort of a way what they described the area exactly

describing it as i don't understand you yeah yeah it's amazing because it sounds so authentic if you

say well we went camping in the yucatan it's like you know you sound like you know you're like

fucking eating organic salads and doing the right thing yeah you're out in nature but meanwhile what

you you're you're at i don't know understand you that's where you are yeah that's that's that is uh
