Thanks Curt

[@pinocleen]

Thanks for giving us another great podcast.

[@xender6969]

Feels like Without intro is the way to go. Very engaging. Straight to it. 👍🏻

[@williamrunner6718]

Love the content Curt!

[@TheoriesofEverything]

I’m glad man :)

[@Shnikey]

Thanks! This was one of the most compassionate, calming, and delightful interviews you’ve done. I really appreciate this one. I learned about a wonderful person in the world, Nathaniel Kahn. I hope I can find Deep Sky on PPV. It was also really nice to see YOU, Curt, interacting with another filmmaker. People forget this is YOUR CRAFT as well. Thanks for your hard work. Again, loved this one. Will definitely watch again.

Hi Nathaniel!!
My first job out of college in the early 1990's was working for a documentary filmmaker, and Nathaniel worked for her also. It was a lot of fun being in an office with Nathaniel. So weird and surprising to see him on this podcast I follow. Very cool.

[@declanpatrickmacmanus5416]

I just happened to have the same experience yesterday on another podcast. Weird and shocking but fun!

[@blakemccreery864]

Thanks Curt for your pursuit to keep on keeping on! Sorry about saying you were imitating Peterson a while back. I realize that was less foot forward than I like to be. So, thanks for having a backbone. I enjoy your videos and conversations very much.

[@ryang.5094]

Excellent great. How come there is only 10 comments in here? I’m confused why there’s it a couple thousand..

But my body is not me. It's just the vessel I use so I can experience this reality. This dust will return to the dust but I am immortal.

[@Boulos-cb2un]

But where did the stars come from? Once you have that worked out, where did that come from? Do you get where this is going…
