I’m going to talk about a thing I’m ashamed of, but that I shouldn’t be ashamed of.

Um, I was talking to my therapist about the fact that I even have shame that I know I shouldn’t have about this or embarrassment or I just feel bad about it.

I’m going to get into it with you.

You guys are my, also my therapist.

Cause I love you.

Here we go.

Your daily Lex, you guys, you guys and gals and non-binary pals.

I snore, I snore, I snore, I snore.

And, uh, it’s been getting slightly worse with age.

There are many factors that can cause snoring.

There are many things that can lead to snoring, including obesity.

I weigh less than I weighed at this time a year ago.

So I don’t think it’s that, but who the hell knows?

Um, and it’s becoming problematic.

And I mean, not for me, but I am so embarrassed to be a snorer.

Um, I feel like a cliche sitcom dad, and I’m doing various things to try to be healthier and smarter about how I prep for sleep and what my days are like and how, you know, alcohol can exacerbate it.

So it’s like, Hey, does it do better if I have nothing to drink?

No, uh, maybe alcohol helps it.

So can I pound if, you know, I haven’t tried that maybe I should, but, um, I haven’t been able to, to curb it.

So I was like, well, let me try various products.

And also let me try a snoring app.

Boy, trying that snoring app was a mistake.

I have debated repeatedly.

I’m literally looking at the app right now.

Am I going to play an example of my snoring on this very podcast?

I mean, it seems like it’s an audio medium and it’s mistake not to.

Okay.

There it was.

That’s the only one I can give you.

Cause it’s like so shameful.

I don’t know how well my, my picked it up.

I’m not going to listen back, but like I’m snoring and it’s definitely, well, I’m not a doctor, but it doesn’t sound to me like a sleep apnea thing.

Uh, it doesn’t sound like I’m dying at any point.

We saw a standard comedian on the cruise and he talked about sleep apnea and how his girlfriend told him, Hey, I think you have sleep apnea.

And he was like, I don’t have sleep apnea.

She’s like, I’m gonna record you and, uh, for one hour and I want you to listen to it.

So she records me like whatever.

And then she plays it back and two minutes in, I was like, stop, stop, stop, stop playing that.

That’s horrible.

That guy’s dying.

He’s dying.

Uh, it was a funny, it’s funny.

But anyway, I don’t sound like that.

I sound like I’m snoring.

So I was like, well, I would like to fix this problem.

I do not want to be this embarrassing snoring person.

So I tried the breathe right strips that like tape down your nose.

Uh, one at a very, two times they stay on my nose.

They don’t seem to make any impact on the snoring.

Uh, I’ve tried things that go in your nose, like little nostril wideners in each case, like you can feel that you’re breathing even better, but, uh, they have not eliminated the snoring in any way.

Uh, I’m going to try the breathe right strip again and try to get it to stay on even more securely or tightly or something.

I don’t know.

Um, but it has more, and I’m also going to try propping up my pillow even higher.

To that end.

Um, I’ve also ordered an expensive device that hasn’t shipped yet.

Um, but this seems to be a thing that like 80% of people swear by as the thing that helps them stop snoring.

And I’m stalling on saying the name cause I don’t know the name and I can’t find the email in my inbox.

Um, I could Google it, but I’m just trying to find the email.

Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.

Am I doing good?

S uh, stalling?

No.

Um, but so I, I, the smart Nora, I I’ve tried to order the smart Nora snoring solution, which is ridiculously expensive, $359.

Uh, I could buy a lot of read the right strips for that price, but they don’t work.

Uh, and this one has a 45 day return guarantee.

Um, but it’s like a little, uh, I don’t even know what you call it.

A device, an egg that listens to you.

And when you snore, it like uses air or something to inflate your pillow to prop you up higher.

And then it lowers your head down again.

Cause you don’t want to have your head propped up the whole time for reasons.

I don’t know.

I don’t know why I can’t just prop up my pillow and see what that does.

But anyway, uh, I’m going to try the, whatever I just said, it was called the Nora, I’m going to try that the smart Nora when it arrives, um, which it hasn’t yet.

But man, I am ashamed of snoring, but you know what I’m not ashamed about.

I’m not ashamed.

And I know I shouldn’t be ashamed of that.

I mean, unless you think I should be ashamed of which case, okay, I am, but I’m not ashamed of the fact that I’m the kind of dad who makes albums with his kid.

That’s right, folks.

We’ve reached that time of the show where I talked to you about another song from my new album with Liam, the world wasn’t ready, uh, you’ve heard for Freddie, you’ve heard cars, you’ve heard planes, the third song, and that trio of songs about modes of transportation is teleportation.

I think teleportations lyrics are funny.

That’s a song that amuses me greatly.

And, uh, I think Liam wrote really cool music for it.

Uh, and I find the way he sings the chorus hilarious on his own.

Uh, cause he’s like boundless.

Sten nations.

I like the way he spreads out that word.

He also sings in the song lyrics like that’s why I’m excited.

And when he sings, that’s why I’m excited.

I invented teleportation when he sings the words.

That’s why I’m excited.

The first time he sounds incredibly not excited to me, which I also find very funny, but anyway, here’s a clip from the song teleportation.

You can find the world wasn’t ready wherever you listen to music.

Uh, but not wherever you get your podcast.

Cause it’s not a podcast.

Anyway, happy rest of your Monday.

And, uh, man, oh man, if you have a snoring cure, I’m all ears.

Uh, uh, see what I did there.

Sten nations, limitless exploration.

That’s why I’m excited.

I invented teleportation.

There are no more traffic jams for me.

There’s no where I can go.

I just took a trip to the Oval Office and then I had a great meal in Tokyo.

I sent myself to Paris, France.

So I could see the Eiffel tower.

Then I saw the pyramids and the great wall too.

And I did it all inside of an hour.

Your daily let X anyway, thanks for listening.

Talk to you soon.

Lex.
