4. Cigarettes, Cancer, & Health

(25:09–27:59)

• Pushing to Extremes vs. Enjoying Life: Christina points out Tom’s penchant for self-punishment (cold plunges, body transformation, etc.), contrasting it with her own quest for crafting and garden joy. They riff on gendered differences—men needing constant challenges, women enjoying “being.”

  "It's like I perform in front of 10,000 people or I'm isolated in the house watching murder." – Christina (41:10)

(59:07–61:00)
