Join me for a completely spontaneous "rambling challenge" in which I attempt to talk without stopping for at least 45 minutes. I end up discussing the benefits of talking to yourself for English fluency, the ideas of "practice makes perfect" and "practice makes permanent", the best advice Tom Hiddleston ever got, what it means to "seize the day", how thinking about death is life affirming, Dr Kawashima's Brain Training, and a nostalgia trip about Super Mario Kart on the Nintendo.
