Life In The Ted Lane
Exploring Theater and Autism, Dismantling Vaccine Myths, and Honoring Jim Henson's Legacy
Send us a text message to say hi! We’d love to hear from you.
Ted Harris invites us into his vibrant world as he shares his transformative journey at Theater Horizon, a professional theater offering specialized programs for people with autism. Through games, performance, and community, Ted's pursuing his Broadway dreams while developing crucial social skills. His enthusiasm radiates as he describes finding a place where he can truly express himself among peers who understand his experience.
The conversation shifts to a passionate critique of how South by Southwest has evolved from championing independent artists to becoming an exclusive playground for the wealthy. Ted's advocacy for accessible creative expression reveals his deep belief that art should be available to everyone, regardless of resources or connections.
A highlight emerges when Ted explores the upcoming 70th anniversary of the Muppets in May 2025. Despite Disney's lack of celebration plans, Ted and his sister Lindsay enthusiastically brainstorm delightful ways fans could honor Jim Henson's legacy—from Muppet movie marathons to themed parties featuring "Kermit Cupcakes" and "Miss Piggy Punch." Their joy in planning these celebrations mirrors the wonderfully imaginative spirit of the Muppets themselves.
Drawing from Jim Henson's biography, Ted distills a powerful philosophy: "When in doubt, make art. When you're happy, make art. When you're sad, make art." This mantra of creative expression as a response to life's circumstances beautifully captures Ted's own approach to navigating the world.
The episode takes a meaningful turn when Ted emphatically addresses harmful misinformation, stating repeatedly that vaccines do not cause autism. His personal reflection on autism as "a blessing in disguise" celebrates neurodiversity and the unique perspectives it brings—a refreshing counterpoint to damaging narratives that often circulate.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Life of the Kedling. I'm your host, ted Harris, and with me is my co-host and sister, the boy Gene K Dix, by John McAaron and Lizzie Harris-Friel.
Speaker 3:Who's John McAaron?
Speaker 2:They're test players.
Speaker 3:Do you mean John McEnroe?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:Do you want to redo it or do you want to stick to it?
Speaker 2:No, stick to it.
Speaker 3:Alright, that's a story and he's sticking to it. I am his Billie Jean King, and this is John McEnroe. Okay.
Speaker 2:And let me remind you what we do on this podcast. This podcast is talked're talking about adventures, broadway, hollywood news, muppet news, what it's like to be autistic. So we'd like to talk about what we did this week and all that. So we talked about our experience at the Horizon.
Speaker 3:So we're going to. So our adventure headline is what Ted?
Speaker 2:My Act at the Horizon and South by Southwest by Tappy on March 15th. Yep and Muppets Subversive. And Vaccines Don't Cure Autism.
Speaker 3:No, Vaccines Don't Cause Autism.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Do you want to do that over or do you want to keep going?
Speaker 2:Keep going.
Speaker 3:All right, let's get started. Okay so what's our current adventure? Ted, Keep going Keep going.
Speaker 2:All right, let's get started, okay, so, so what's our current adventure, ted? Why don't? So? I've been taking acting classes at Theater Horizon for a while now. I've been doing that for a while, and Theater Horizon is a professional theater. In Georgetown, pennsylvania, they have a program for people with autism. In Northside, pennsylvania, they have a program for people with autism. There are two theaters I know that have programs for autism, for people with cognitive or special needs. There are the Media Theater in Delaware County and Northside. They have Theater Horizon. Basically, they're the only two theaters I know that have programs for people with autism or special needs.
Speaker 3:I don't know if the Media theater still has the State Street Miracles, but in any case Theater Horizon definitely does.
Speaker 2:So I'd like to explain how I got involved with that.
Speaker 3:Okay. So why did you want to take acting classes this spring, Ted?
Speaker 2:I took acting classes because I wanted to be a Broadway actor. I wanted to express myself and how I would express my needs and all that. So so this is a great program. We do a lot of games and all that.
Speaker 3:And it's fun, right, it's fun and it's fun and it helps you with your social skills.
Speaker 2:Social skills, behavior skills.
Speaker 3:And you get to be around other people.
Speaker 2:I get to be around people like me.
Speaker 3:And it's fun.
Speaker 2:So let me explain how I got involved with it.
Speaker 3:How did you get involved with it, Ted?
Speaker 2:So a while back I went to a stage production of Into the Woods featuring Lizzie's friend as a cow. He played a chord to make the cow noise and basically it was a great performance. We got to see him do the cowl. It's like an old curiosity shop and all that.
Speaker 3:The set you mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and various things. There's a reenactment of famous popular fairy tales like Cinderella, blood, red Riding Hood, rapunzel, jack of the Bean Stalk, many more, I think they even covered snow white in there too.
Speaker 3:Well, they did have a lot of princesses, you know, rescue the princess stories in it, right yeah yeah, we had a wonderful time and we really enjoyed it and we saw that theater horizon is a really good place and we found out about the autism drama program, which at the time, was a playwriting class, right yep so how? How did you feel about the playwriting class?
Speaker 2:I felt it was very good. I got to explore many plays and all that wrote many plays. They do a showcase of your performance and they do a showcase by professional actors. I would like to see one day see my plays. I wrote. I performed a state for a group of people. Just like liz, I would like to see one day see my plays. I wrote I can perform to a state for a group of people, just like Lizzie would like to see her plays performed to a state for many people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that would be great.
Speaker 2:Well, you never know, maybe one day Maybe one day indeed.
Speaker 3:So what do you think autistic people and their families should know about Theater Horizon?
Speaker 2:Be prepared for anything. We'll surprise them every now and then, but nothing can hurt you. Just a little tweak every now and then and you will be required to act.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a good class, isn't it? So we're very excited and looking forward to your showcase in a few weeks, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Alright, so that was your adventure. And what is the next news?
Speaker 2:South by Southwest is going on. It's for independent artists to showcase the work for film, tech, culture and things like that. It's basically a way to express yourself and for talent and all that. But there's only one problem the fat cuts kind of moved in and all that. They've used it as a way to promote their good buddies and all that. It left a lot of independent artists out there in the cold and basically I think everyone should have the right to express themselves, whether artist or actor or playwright or writer. I think you should definitely figure out how to express yourself. I recommend you support independent film groups or independent fairs and stuff, or independent theaters.
Speaker 3:I think what happened with South by Southwest was that it started out as a festival for independent musicians and then it started becoming a thing where lots of rich people were going and the ticket prices got higher and higher, and now the only people who can afford to go are not independent artists.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't get in there unless you have the wealth of equipment at Bill Gates or anything like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's expensive, so, anyway. So that's our Hollywood news right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so what's next on the agenda, ted?
Speaker 2:Muppets will not be celebrating their 70th anniversary. What. That's one for the books.
Speaker 3:So the 70th anniversary of the Muppets is coming up in May of 2025. Right, Ted.
Speaker 2:Yep, unfortunately, disney will not be celebrating it, and all that.
Speaker 3:That's a missed opportunity, isn't it?
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 3:So what are some things that people could do to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Muppets?
Speaker 2:Disney has no plan to celebrate the Muppets' 70th anniversary, but a lot of the reluctant are to do so because Disney's handling of the Muppets, bob Iger, is focusing too much on Star Wars and Marvel and further for the Muppets.
Speaker 3:Well, ted, star Wars and Marvel make a lot of money, but they also cost a lot of money to make too.
Speaker 2:But a lot of Muppet fans are demanding they see the Muppets. We will keep it up to date as this story plays out. I recommend you take the time to watch all eight Muppet movies, including hey Cinderella. Muppet Musicians of Bremen. Muppets of the Far Prince. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. The Muppets Please Leave the Pictures and Can we pause? And some Muppets are in two. The Sesame Street movies too, with Jim Henson's Pinocchio and Carnival, with Jim Henson's Punch and Judy.
Speaker 3:So, Ted, do you want to tell everybody at home about the book that we've been listening to in the evening?
Speaker 2:Well, we've been listening to the Muppets, jim Henson's biography and how he unraveled the Muppets and all that, how he respected his puppets and all that how he respected people, how he was a great humanitarian. The Muppets are talented, they're totally original and the shows are breathtaking. Jim Henson knew the Muppets were very special for him. Once a day he told those popular Hollywood politicians I told you so.
Speaker 3:I think that Jim Henson one of the things that we've learned from listening to the book was that Jim Henson considered himself to be much more than a puppeteer. Puppetry was one of his many skills, but he was also a very talented filmmaker and a very talented visual artist, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, he was.
Speaker 3:Yes, but if people want to celebrate the Muppets' 70th anniversary, what would be some good ways to celebrate that? Ted?
Speaker 2:Watch all the Sesame Street movies first.
Speaker 3:What if you had a Muppet party?
Speaker 2:Muppet party. What would a?
Speaker 3:Muppet party. Be like Ted.
Speaker 2:Where everybody just like Muppets and their favorite Muppet characters. That would be cool. Or maybe a stage production of Muppets through your favorite song.
Speaker 3:So if people wanted to have a, if people wanted to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Muppets, what would be some good ways to celebrate?
Speaker 2:I suggest you start with all the Sister Tree specials, followed by hey Cinderella and followed by Muppets for Our Prince and followed by Muppet Physician Bremen.
Speaker 3:What about Tales of the Tinker D?
Speaker 2:And Tales of the Tinker D.
Speaker 3:Or all the Ralph the Dog, jimmy, dean specials.
Speaker 2:Yep, and then watch all the.
Speaker 3:Salmon.
Speaker 2:Friends, salmon Friends, and then watch all the Muppet, all the Sesame Street movies, followed by Follow that Bird, followed by Elmo in Garage Land. Followed by.
Speaker 3:Those are Sesame Street movies, like you said.
Speaker 2:Yep, followed by the Muppet movie, followed by the Great Muppet Keeper, muppets Take Manhattan, followed by Muppet Christmas Carol, muppet Treasure Island, and then Muppets from Space, then with Pinocchio, and then watch the Muppets, but Muppets were wanted.
Speaker 3:What about Muppet Treasure Island? That's what I said. Did you say?
Speaker 2:Muppet Treasure Island. That's what I said.
Speaker 3:Did you say Muppet Treasure Island? I wasn't sure.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:I think that one's a good one. What about the one that we talked about? I can't remember. I think we talked about this a couple Christmases ago or last Christmas or something. We talked about that one Christmas special where Kermit just flips out and it gets real dark, real fast.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, very, very Muppets movie. Evan Otter's Joe Bag Christmas.
Speaker 3:John Denver and the Muppets of Christmas together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the Muppets Visit Walt Disney World.
Speaker 3:Is there a Muppets? Visit Walt Disney World.
Speaker 2:Yes, it is. It's on YouTube.
Speaker 3:Huh, that's interesting. You'll have to show that to me sometime. Yeah, that's interesting. You'll have to show that to me sometime yeah. So if you were going to have a Muppet party, what kind of food, what kind of snacks would you have?
Speaker 2:Well, I think everybody should dress like their favorite Muppet characters.
Speaker 3:Okay, but Senator, did that answer the question that I asked?
Speaker 2:Like Kermit Cupcakes.
Speaker 3:Kermit Cupcakes Miss Piggy Punch Kermit cupcakes Miss Piggy Punch, miss Piggy Punch. What would Miss?
Speaker 2:Piggy Punch be like Like pink lemonade.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:And Miss Piggy cupcakes. Mm-hmm. Gosset cupcakes.
Speaker 3:What about salty snacks or savory snacks?
Speaker 2:Um Statler Waldorf pretzels and chips.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, because Statler and Waldorf are real salty right.
Speaker 2:And maybe some.
Speaker 3:Oh, what if you had Waldorf salad?
Speaker 2:Waldorf salad. Yeah, ralph, the Dog Punch, it's a blues dog.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what about? What kind of electric mayhem snacks would you have?
Speaker 2:Blue and green ice cream.
Speaker 3:Blue and green ice cream.
Speaker 2:And like like a busy cupcake for Abel.
Speaker 3:Oh, maybe what if you had something like a cupcake that has Pop Rocks in it, so when you bite into it it sort of bites back?
Speaker 2:Yeah or Crazy Harry, Not exploding cupcakes because we have to respect the customer with fire and all that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what about some cheese snacks for Rizzo?
Speaker 2:Cheese snacks for Rizzo, so cheese snacks for Rizzo.
Speaker 3:And you'd have to. You'd also have to have something Spanish for Pepe the Prawn.
Speaker 2:So Spanish, like some house some jalapeno poppers.
Speaker 3:Jalapeno poppers Okay.
Speaker 2:Or spicy chips. Spicy chips, the prong cracker wins. You got to know when to hold them.
Speaker 3:Hey, Ted, come on back. Yeah, come back. So that would be some good ways to celebrate Do you think maybe this May we should have a Muppet celebration party.
Speaker 2:I think so. Everyone could dress like their favorite Muppet characters.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow, or you could also. I think you should also be able to dress as your favorite puppeteer in the Muppets, like, if you want to dress as Jim Henson, you can't. Or if you want to dress as Carolee Wilcox, you can.
Speaker 2:Well, one of my Facebook friends said Rick Lyon, he's a puppeteer. He dressed like both Jim Henson and Frank Goss.
Speaker 3:He had what did he wear?
Speaker 2:His costume was half Jim Henson, half Frank Goss. He had Kermit on one hand and Fozzie on the other hand when he made.
Speaker 3:Wow, so what did he have on? So what did he have on his head? What kind of hair did he have?
Speaker 2:One side was a beard and long hair, the other side was glasses and mustache and half bald. Uh-huh, his costume was half one shirt and half a business suit, half cake pads, half jeans. Mm-hmm. He had a shoe on one foot and red sneaker on the other foot.
Speaker 3:That's pretty brilliant. That is really brilliant. I've been thinking, since we've been listening to the Jim Henson biography, I need to find out if there's a Frank Oz biography, because his career has been long and interesting, hasn't it? Mm-hmm. Here are some other interesting Muppet facts that we found out while we were listening to this. Jim Oz, listen to me, I'm the one with the problem here.
Speaker 2:Hey.
Speaker 3:Frank Oz Frank Oz was his number came up for Vietnam and they thought they might never see him again. He reported to the draft board and an hour later he was back at the Henson Associates offices because he had some kind of a heart problem and they said your excuse, sir. So he got to go back. He didn't have to go to Vietnam because he had some kind of a health problem.
Speaker 2:Good for him.
Speaker 3:Good for him, Because without him we would not have Miss Piggy today.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:Then also another. Here's another story that I found very uplifting Carol Spinney, the puppeteer who performs, who Ted.
Speaker 2:Big Bird and Oscar.
Speaker 3:Yeah, big Bird and Oscar he is Carol Spinney, unfortunately has also passed away, right, yep, yeah, he, he is Carol Spinney, unfortunately has also passed away, right, yep, yeah, he performed at this at a Puppeteer Society of America conference and he was doing this really unusual performance that involved him reacting to projected images on a screen behind him, but because the lighting was messed up, it didn't work. So he basically bombed on stage and everybody was kind of like, oh that's nice, good for you, buddy. You tried and he was so upset. And then he came backstage and Jim Henson came up to him and said hey, can we talk? And they just Jim Henson said I see what you were trying to do, you just needed better resources. Why don't come to new york and play big bird?
Speaker 3:so he did right, ted yep yeah so, and also originally the children's television workshop wanted frank oz to do it, and frank oz said no way, I'm not getting in that. I'm not doing a full body costume. I did it once, I was the le choy dragon in a commercial. I'm not doing a full body costume. I did it once, I was a La Choy dragon in a commercial. I'm never doing it again. So he did not play Big Bird and the rest is history.
Speaker 2:Right Ted Yep.
Speaker 3:Yep, one of the things I'm really enjoying about that book is that it sounds like whenever Jim Henson came up against obstacles, he would make art. Like whenever things were going badly for him, he would make art when he was sad. He would make art when he was happy. He would make art. When he was on vacation, he would make art, and he was always making craft projects and art projects with his kids. He built a dollhouse for them, all that cool stuff. He was making films with them and stuff like that. So the moral of the story is make art when in doubt. Make art.
Speaker 2:When in doubt, make art.
Speaker 3:When you're not in doubt make art. When you're happy, make art out. Make art when you're happy.
Speaker 2:Make art.
Speaker 3:When you're sad, make art when you're angry.
Speaker 2:Make art.
Speaker 3:Especially when you're angry, that's a good time to make art Right. So, in any case, that is the book that we're reading lately and that's our Muppet News. We challenge everyone to come up with exciting ways to celebrate the Muppets' 70th anniversary, and then you can find us on Instagram at Life in the Ted Lane and take pictures of your Muppets celebration and share them with us. What do you think, Ted?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:I think that would be a good idea, because we would love to see more celebrations of the Muppets.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we have something else to say. Autism news autism news autism news.
Speaker 3:Autism news.
Speaker 2:Vaccines do not cause autism.
Speaker 3:For everybody who might not have heard that, should we say it again.
Speaker 2:Vaccines do not cause autism.
Speaker 3:Just to make sure everybody understands Do vaccines cause autism, Ted?
Speaker 2:Vaccines do not cause autism.
Speaker 3:No, vaccines do not cause autism. Today we learned that the Centers for Disease Control apparently are going to investigate whether or not vaccines cause autism. This is stupid, hey, ted, as a use of taxpayer dollars goes, what do you think of that stupid? You're so stupid, stupid. This has been disproven in many studies, many studies. I am going to read you an article which we will link in the comments. And the reason I am reading this article is because it's very easy to find. It is fact-checked, and it is very simple to find. It is fact-checked and it is very simple. The CDC says they're going to conduct research to determine if there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism risk. Health experts have long said there is no substantial scientific evidence to connect vaccines with autism. Various factors may impact autism risk, with genetics being one of the strongest. What was one of the strongest, ted? Genetics.
Speaker 2:Genetics.
Speaker 3:What was one of the strongest, Ted.
Speaker 2:Genetics.
Speaker 3:For the people in the back what appears to be the factor that causes autism? Genetics.
Speaker 2:You can say that again.
Speaker 3:Genetics, genetics, genetics, genetics, genetics. Yeah, childhood vaccinations are generally considered safe, according to many studies for many years, and they reduce the spread of infectious diseases like measles. Following routine vaccinations helps populations develop herd immunity to protect those who can't. Yeah, the safety of childhood vaccines and so-called autism risk. Health and Human Services. Hhs officials, led by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, recently confirmed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will investigate whether vaccines cause autism. Well, you know what? They can go right ahead, because it'll be over in two seconds. You know why? Why? Because vaccines don't cause autism. Yep, did I stutter?
Speaker 3:no what did I just say, ted?
Speaker 2:vaccines do not cause autism right.
Speaker 3:The public health announcement reignited a long-standing debate over a theory lacking substantial scientific evidence. Lacking substantial scientific evidence as President Trump, excuse me as President.
Speaker 2:Trump. Trump.
Speaker 3:Okay. As President Trump said in his joint address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed. No, it hasn't. Cdc will leave no stone unturned in its mission to figure out exactly what is happening. A department statement said the American people expect high quality research and transparency, and that is what CDC is delivering. Vaccines are widely regarded as safe and effective. However, vaccine skepticism and hesitancy have contributed to low childhood vaccination rates in the United States. Vaccinations help prevent the spread of infectious diseases while protecting those who can't receive them. Most health experts agree they do not cause autism. There is no evidence linking vaccines and autism risk. Experts told Healthline there have been multitudes of reputable studies on the topic over the past 20 years and none have established a definitive link between autism and childhood vaccines. The scientific community has researched this very thoroughly and there's no evidence that childhood vaccines cause autism, said Danielle Fisher, md, a pediatrician at Providence St John's Health Center in Santa Monicaica, california.
Speaker 3:okay, so I could keep reading this, but basically all I'm saying is vaccines do not cause autism also a pediatric, gina posner md, a pediatrician at memorial care medical group in fountain valley, california, said it is incumbent upon everyone to be good community members, right, right. So once upon a time, ted, you and I were riding in the car and I was taking you somewhere and you said to me why do people think it would? Why do people think vaccines cause autism? And I said because a doctor in the United Kingdom, whose name escapes me for the moment, published an article in the Lancet, which is a medical journal in the UK, saying vaccines cause autism. But he didn't do adequate research. The study was very poorly done, uh-oh, and it was a sloppy study, and he altered the data to suit his thesis.
Speaker 3:And it's not true. Vaccines don't cause autism. This guy was a jerk. Then you said why would somebody rather have measles than have autism? And my heart just about broke. Wow, you were really upset because you felt like people were saying I would rather have a disease that might kill me than have autism.
Speaker 2:It felt like a punch.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was bad and we talked about it for a long time. It was one of our good car talks.
Speaker 2:It was our good talk.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you and I have good talks in the car.
Speaker 2:Deal with the real.
Speaker 3:Deal with the real is right. So I read a book that is called Autism's False Profits P-R-O-P-H-E-T TS. Although you know anyway, autism's False Prophets is written by Paul A Offit MD, who is or at the time he was, I'm not sure what he's doing now. Paul A Offit MD is the chief of infectious diseases and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and he has won tons of awards and he donated all royalties from the sales of his book to autism research. And again, the book is called Autism's False Profits Bad Science, risky Medicine and the Search for a Cure, and we will put a link in the show notes. It might be an affiliate link so that we get a couple of pennies one way or the other, but it doesn't matter. Get it from your local library. I would recommend buying a copy and buy two copies. Keep one and give one to a friend Yep.
Speaker 3:It's the point of the book is. Autism is one thing. Autism is challenging enough. The way people feel about autism makes it worse for people who have autism. Right, right, right. And parents of autistic people will do anything for their kids, and you know, ted, you've seen me get fierce when it comes to protecting you, right.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm protecting you, right, yeah, and what happens is when people, when families of autistic people, think that there might be just the slightest chance that there's a possibility that something could make your life easier or somebody could, something could be blamed for when your autism bothers you, we will latch onto that like it's the last lifeboat on a sinking ship. But the point is, ted, you are you. I like you just the way you are.
Speaker 2:Today, you are you, that's true. That's true, that's doing a life that is. You are the you.
Speaker 3:That's Dr Seuss right, yep, yep, that's true, seuss right, yep, yep.
Speaker 2:That's true, isn't?
Speaker 3:it. It is true. What do you think about your autism, Ted?
Speaker 2:I think I have learned to deal with it, I've learned to live with it and basically I think it's a blessing in disguise or some things.
Speaker 3:Why is it a blessing in disguise?
Speaker 2:So, basically, I've learned to deal with it, I learned to live with it.
Speaker 3:You've learned to manage it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That's true.
Speaker 2:So let's review about a few things.
Speaker 3:You have a lot of friends that have autism, yep, and when you were growing up, we finally found you a special elementary school for kids with autism.
Speaker 2:Yep, it's a Timothy school and it's basically for people with special needs and all that. Mm-hmm, you know a lot of people with autism, mm-hmm, that's where a lot of them and later I was transferred to Harvard Avenue, which is another school with people with cognitive needs. Yeah, they teach a lot of art and all that and acting.
Speaker 3:And you made a lot of friends.
Speaker 2:Yep. So what kind of friends, yeah, so what kind of friends?
Speaker 3:can you tell me about what you treasure, about your friends who have autism? A pirate treasures his crew the most that's true, and you guys also all have vivid imaginations, yep, and you guys think of lots of interesting things, and it means that your imagination is wonderful and vibrant and you and your friends always had interesting things that you would talk about and think about and interesting art projects that you would do together. Right, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so that was a good time, but in any case, just to review vaccines do not cause autism, and that's all you need to know about that. Yep, that's a deed. Vaccines do not cause autism and that's all you need to know about that.
Speaker 2:Yep, that's a deed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and also vaccines save lives.
Speaker 2:Yep vaccines save lives.
Speaker 3:But this is not a podcast about vaccines. This is a podcast about life in the Ted Lane right.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:So I think we should wrap this up now. So I think we should wrap this up now.
Speaker 3:I think we should wrap this up now too. But you know what? I really wish that anyone who's listening to this would get in touch with us, and one of the things that you'll notice on the show notes is that there's a link right at the top of the show notes that says get in touch with us or send us some fan mail or something like that, and it's very simple.
