  • Hello and welcome to Overthink.

  • The podcast where your two favorite philosophy professors, we hope,

  • I am Dr. David Peña Guzman.

  • Is it an equinox?

  • Anyway, sorry, go ahead.

  • So you're in the Castro?

  • Yeah, I'm in the Castro at the center of this circle that is a Venn diagram.

  • that a lot of other people know about because this guy smells horribly.

  • Everybody kind of scurries away when he arrives to work out next to them.

  • Better or worse than that one guy in grad school.
