    Please invite Bo Burnham! You’re one of the few podcast host who would have a perfect synergy. Your comedic geniuses, your self awareness and perceptions about the world as it is would align so brilliantly. You’re both my monuments in comedy. Thank you for your content, I hope you’re satisfied with your podcast because I sure am. (sorry for mistakes, English is my second language, I’m also Canadian so that explains why I feel sorry, I guess…)

    Easy, the not wanting to be alone and the quiet thing are all about chaos. New York is a place where you literally cant be alone because you are constantly surrounded by people and noise and visual stimulus and a million other other things. That constant stimulus loop becomes addicting (and if Im not mistaken Chris has spoken about addiction issues in the past) and something you expect and something you need, and in the case of New York, theres nothing like it anywhere else so that yearning for it makes complete sense. Its like people who cant sleep without a white noise machine or music playing or whatever it is, they just need that thing there taking up space to make them feel connected to something.
