Accidentally wrote four autofiction books. Slid from narrative into monologue—not stream-of-consciousness, more like speech-speed meaning performance. Trained my voice into AI, produced a shit-ton of pieces. Had too many. Needed a place to dump them. Saw a sign that said “Beware, Vicious Dog!” Misread it. Named the podcast Danger, Vicious Dog. Didn’t fix it. Just kept going. Queer. Cosmic. Sarcastic. Cheap. Accidentally committed to the bit. Some voice and art is AI... I don't know how I feel about that... so I'm working on figuring it out... how I feel.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T20:18:09.153413+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978"},"episode":{"title":"E10: People Protect Their Ego (Not Their Truth); S8: Finale!","slug":"e10-people-protect-their-ego-not-their-truth-s8-finale","published_at":"2026-07-01T06:21:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e10-people-protect-their-ego-not-their-truth-s8-finale","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E10-People-Protect-Their-Ego-Not-Their-Truth-S8-Finale-e3lgm0p","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/122230233/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-1%2F427146154-44100-2-c949d09eff8f.m4a","summary":"Some of you are here because you follow Man With No Name , and you’ve wandered into my corner of Substack like someone who meant to attend a trauma‑informed workshop and instead found a man in a basement talking about socks, ego, and Canada Day. Welcome. I’m glad you’re here, even if you’re not sure you meant to be. Before anything else, I’m giving you a trigger warning — because many of you are used to them. But I don’t believe in trigger warnings conceptually. And the one I’m giving you is a lie. You’ll only understand what that means if you listen to the NotebookLM explainer made specifically for you. [*Not Available except on SubSmack] You have options: Listen to the NotebookLM deep‑dive explainer first. Listen to my actual episode first. Listen to neither. Listen to both. Listen in the wrong order. Listen in no order. Decide I’m not your flavor and slip quietly back into Man With No Name’s universe. All choices are valid . All choices are illusions . All choices are mirrors . For my regular listeners — my tiny, beloved, contrarian cluster… there’s probably a fuck in there too — you probably won’t want to listen to the NotebookLM explainer. It’s not for you . It’s for his audience. But because I’ve said that, you’re probably already halfway through it. You’re contrarians. You’re gremlins. You’re the kind of people who touch the “Do Not Touch” sign just to see if the sign blinks. Or is fingerprint repellent. Or maybe it is a fingerprint repellant. So you can spray your “Do Not Touch” fingerprint repellant on anything that you don’t want touched. By fingerprints. Nasty, nasty non-consent-seeking fingerprints! I hope the fingers don’t get any funny ideas. Because I will be there to swat them away if they do. I do not like anyone to force me to drink tea. Even if I tol…","meta_description":"Some of you are here because you follow Man With No Name , and you’ve wandered into my corner of Substack like someone who meant to attend a trauma‑inform…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":773,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/episodes/e10-people-protect-their-ego-not-their-truth-s8-finale/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e10-people-protect-their-ego-not-their-truth-s8-finale.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
