Tommo: Hey, guys. Just me today. Welcome to I Can't Shut Up!, the podcast where I just talk. I just returned to San Francisco after being with my family for a while. I'm so grateful that you guys were ok with me taking a break to clear my head and grieve properly. I know I didn't give a lot of details on what happened, and I will still be pretty vague on exactly what happened. But my sister died at the beginning of March. It was unexpected, and my family is devastated.

Tommo: It just feels like a curse, almost, ya know? That my mum died and now we lost my sister too. And I really don't want to lose anyone else in my life. And I have a whole slew of siblings. If I lost anyone else, I think that it would really break me.

Tommo: I spent a lot of time outside when I was in England, up north, trying to keep myself moving. Thing is, I even had a terrifying Grindr hookup at one point. It went really badly, and I had to politely leave when he tried to get me to put on a chef hat and spank me with a wooden spoon. Yes, it did happen, Paul! Stop fucking laughing out there!

Tommo: I push everyone away, don't I? It's why I live in this fucking box.
