Hands Free – Half Listening to the Other Half

Annaka Harris

Two Irishmen discuss listening to the other half.

– Did ye listen to the latest Sam Harris?
– Wait. I thought Harris was on a hiatus from podcasting?
– Like a hernia?
– No, like a break. Didn’t he go gung-ho on Substack and then stick the paw out for more money?
– He did and then he u turned.

– Ok. So what whopper of a guest was on this week?
– Annaka Harris. His wife.
– His wife? Most lads do podcasting to get away from wives…
– Touchdown.
– Ok. Let me guess – they were plugging how meditation is the key to a successful marriage and all the training you need is available at Waking-Up-Gimme-Dolla-Bills-Y’all.com
– No. She was promoting her new 11 hour documentary on whether consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe.
– And did you manage to say conscious for whole conversation?
– To be honest I was only half listening.
– Which half?
– Which half of my brain was listening or which half of the couple I was listening to?
– Fuck. I’m only 50% sure of the answer to that question.
