My god? I woods delivering local and Minneapolis area 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:11.040 and I was backing into doc and I hit something 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.360 and I go, what the hell is that? And I 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.960 thought they put a dumpster outside the dock cannot be 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.520 backed inside of a building, but it's it's black and 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.360 I hit a parked car and I got out and 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:31.120 next thing you know, here comes a naked blonde, then 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.440 a naked brunette. So that's the craziest ship I've seen 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.000 out here. 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.360 Wait they there were just two naked girls in the 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.479 in the park car. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.000 Yes, and alcohol involved on their part. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:56.520 Weird, weird. Oh yeah, what now? Now? Where what's the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:06.520 farthest distance you've driven in one day? 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.559 That was on paper walks? So I probably did twelve 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.640 hundred miles. And when we had paper, Now we got 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.040 computers hard. We can't lie no more. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.560 We used to lie about how long you've driven for, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.000 like for to make money or something. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.240 Oh yeah, you'd worked twenty hour days, twenty one, twenty two, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:37.400 whatever it was. And I'd leave Minneapolis, drive to La 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:44.039 and La. I'd go to Chattanooga and I might lay 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.719 down for eight hours. Back then, and that was twenty 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.440 five years ago when I used to do that kind 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:49.880 of driving. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.760 Now, what is the worst diarrhea you've ever gotten from 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.359 a gas station?

I'm gonna say that Petro 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.200 trucks up used to be a good one. Now they 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.720 all went downhill. They're all going to fast food. They're 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.560 taking their restaurants out and just putting all fast food 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.720 in m H.

Is simply is Flintstone's Rule 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:51.960 thirty four because it's it's such a comment on the 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:57.120 future on the Internet era at just how quickly you 0:33:57.200 --> 0:34:01.360 can pull up an image of Fred fucking Velma and 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:06.760 it's it's uh that in contrast with what the Flintstones 0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:11.319 is all about, which is uh, you know rocks. It's 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:14.120 really beautiful. It's really a statement on something that I 0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:18.320 haven't figured out just yet.

So spelling is in another u 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.320 I like how much I feet like and I know 0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.120 it sucks and I know it. I don't know what 0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.400 it is with my brain where I'm not bad with 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.960 we're'm bad with names and stuff, but the like figuring 0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:54.800 out how to remembering how to spell your name is 0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.600 in another universe. That's like I'm not evolved enough of 0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.440 a creature to have that information, right. 0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:02.799 That's a nitpicky thing on my part. 0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.800 No, No, you're okay, I know you're okay, and I 0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:09.240 appreciate you calling it. I was gonna say, it's funny. 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:12.319 I get like people on people always say like, oh, 0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:16.560 the calls are faked or it's like the same person 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.960 calling in every time, and it's like, well, yeah, the mic, 0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:24.319 the microphone makes it look like it makes it sound 0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:25.240 like it's the same person. 0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.120 It's a totally different quality. I mean, I think that's 0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.040 why you sound like different because you're on like a 0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:32.879 I don't know what kind of mike you're using. It's 0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:36.040 like yetti or something nice, but it's like way higher 0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:38.600 quality than whatever you're calling on. So I think it's 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:43.680 just a way different quality. The same way like you'll 0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:48.480 record yourself on like a nice mic and then listen 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:53.400 to yourself on like a phone call and you're like you, well. 0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:56.800 I'm done talking about audio engineering. I want to know 0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.200 about you. Aiden what's going on? How can you call? 0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.520 It's okay if you don't have a reason, but if 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:03.520 you do, hit me no. 0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:08.239 So I called in specifically because I am starting to 0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:12.879 do a ninety day what they call a dopamine detox. Yeah, 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:17.120 basically just like take a break from all different kinds 0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:23.759 of like crazy stimulation. So like video games, alcohol, weed 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:31.800 which sucks, TV shows, literally anything that could possibly like 0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.399 give you happiness, you just got to kind of cut 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:38.120 out and then just like only do like I guess, 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:42.640 like reading and stuff that's kind of like lighter. But yeah, 0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:45.719 I'm on, Like, I'm not very far into it. I'm 0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:50.440 about on day four, but like already, like I've been 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:51.480 feeling it a lot. 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:55.120 Well, it's nice to know that my stream releases no 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:58.640 dopamine in your brain, and so it's okay for you 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:00.760 to see you fall into. 0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:04.799 A great So music and podcasts are fine. So I've 0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:06.640 been listening to your podcast. I was listening to your 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.040 most recent one right up to this, and I was like, oh, shoot, 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.120 be's streaming the night since it's one day, so that 0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:16.120 was kind of hype huh. But yeah, no, oh sorry, 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:16.560 go ahead. 0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.359 Oh well, so okay, So so you're not allowed you're 0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:22.320 allowed to listen to podcasts. I assume you're not allowed 0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:29.280 to like crack addict, scroll, uh, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, facial 0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:29.799 media too. 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:33.800 Yep. Yeah, so one thing on that actually is bizarre. 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.280 So every time I've tried to do this in the past, 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:39.680 I finally cracked it. What ended up happening like taking 0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.480 a break from video games or taking a break from 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.600 something else. What ends up happening is your brain notices 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.160 the deficiency and it tries to make up for it 0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:49.840 in other places. So that can either be social media, 0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:56.280 YouTube regardless, So higher high dopamine activities like take for instance, 0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:59.560 I take a five day sabbatical from video gaming, but 0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:01.959 I'm gonna up is by the second day. I'm gonna 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:05.840 be just accessing YouTube every other like second, just because 0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:08.440 I'm not getting the same level that I got before. 0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.360 Someone in the chat was talking about like legal addictions 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:16.160 or whatever, and I honestly believe that like dopamine or 0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:20.000 like over indulging in the reward system is like the biggest, 0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.719 like freaking' addiction out there. 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.359 All Right, so you're day four into this thing. You're 0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:31.440 allowed to listen to podcasts. I guess you're allowed. Well, 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:36.640 I guess you're allowed to be on twitch. Yeah, okay, 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:37.920 all right, So. 0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:41.200 Well the Twitch part was mostly just because I wanted 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:42.520 to call it in right here. 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:45.960 Okay, so I'll give you a I won't tell who, 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:49.640 I won't tell your sponsor, oh that you called me? 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:53.080 What? 0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:56.360 So of your vices, of the things that give you dopamine, 0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:04.280 which ones, like you know, got you off the most. 0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:11.400 What what we're like the biggest uh uh Devil's temptations 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:15.279 for you? Was it poorn? Was it sugar? Is it weed? 0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:17.440 What's what are your big big vices? 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:24.440 So definitely sugar and video games. That's another thing too, 0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.560 is like cutting out sugar. That has been crazy because 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:31.480 I never realized how much sugar isn't everything you consume. 0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:34.720 Fucking yeah, it's so crazy. 0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:37.440 And I mean I live on a university campus, so 0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.640 they're able to get away with like pumping so much 0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:41.960 sugar into everything you eat, because I mean, where else 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:45.400 are you're going to get food? So yeah, I know 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:49.279 it's it's wild. It is bizarre. But more than that, 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:53.000 I'd probably say sugar in video games wan anything just 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:55.719 in terms of taking up my time and just unhealthiness. 0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.120 What kind of video games? 0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:06.120 Honestly, usually I'll end up playing like, uh, Overwatch with 0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.680 some buddies, or like will end up playing like jack 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:12.360 Box or Minecraft, just like the typical like oh, do 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:13.680 it with friends type deal. 0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:16.480 Okay, I mean you know, if you're doing it with 0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:21.240 like friends, that seems like it's not, you know, horrible. 0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:24.799 Well that's what it is in the offset, and then 0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:26.759 I start to break off and do it on my 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:28.880 own and then fill the rest of my time up, 0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:30.800 so it's no longer like a group activity. 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:33.759 Okay, And how many how many hours a day were 0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:34.520 you playing video games? 0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:40.000 Honestly, anytime I really got free time, So at least 0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:43.439 like two to four hours every day, okay, yeah, which 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:45.759 I mean, I mean doesn't sound like a lot, but 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:48.760 add that to social media and right everything. 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:53.040 Just yeah, you know, I've been playing a lot of switch. 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:55.839 I've been playing like all the Zelda games on there 0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.359 and all the Mario games. Yeah, I'm actually I'm having 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:06.799 a great time because I used to spend my free 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.080 I'm not a big like I haven't seen any of 0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:13.080 the TV shows or I haven't seen any movies. But 0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:16.200 I realized that I used to spend my free time 0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:20.040 just like scrolling TikTok or reels or YouTube or whatever 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.320 the fuck, And it was kind of like trash. But 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:28.160 at least with video games, you know, I'm I am 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:33.759 focused on something that feels intentional. Right, you can I 0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:37.600 decide to turn on my switch and play Zelda and 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.319 experience it as a thing as opposed to like, I'm 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:43.919 on TikTok just looking at things that are upsetting, which 0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:47.359 and I found myself there. I didn't decide to be there. 0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:54.359 Yeah, no, exactly. I think that's also the same reason 0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.000 people get pissed off with multiplayer games and like feel 0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.520 wildly depressed, just because at the end of the day 0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:01.880 you're not getting anything out of it. With camp I 0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:06.160 games like Breath of the Wild, you feel like you're 0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.479 actually getting a sense of accomplishment. I know you're talking 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:12.120 about like with that other guy who felt I think 0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:15.080 he was calling about Monica dating sim or something like that, 0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.840 talking about how you uh saved a village and it 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:21.880 was like a form of like escapism, but at the 0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.920 same time you actually felt like you were that kind 0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:25.920 of hero aspect. 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:27.759 Yeah. 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:32.520 Yeah, but I mean I guess my concern is, like, Okay, 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:35.200 what happens when you shut down that computer. I mean, like, yeah, 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.240 that was awesome, but now you got to like focus 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:40.400 in on real life. You have all these stresses and 0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:44.280 anxieties and stuff, and hey, you felt that momentary relief, 0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:49.200 but then like all that happiness you're only deriving from 0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:50.360 those sources. 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:54.000 So you know, it's fine, It's very fine. I've thought 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:56.600 about that, right, I guess, like I sunk a ton 0:43:56.680 --> 0:43:58.879 of time into these Elda games, and when they were over, 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:02.560 I was like, oh, I didn't Oh I still have 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:04.600 to go back into real life. But then I'm like, well, 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:07.239 you know, when I fucking die, you could say the 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:12.120 same thing about that. Yeah, true, but that's I don't 0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:14.960 think that's a healthy way to look at, you know, 0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:18.680 being alive. Yeah, I mean that's you know, that's on. 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.400 You can't you cannot refute that. 0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:22.239 But I don't. 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.440 I don't. I don't have shame over the time I've 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:28.920 spent playing video games. I probably, you know, hundreds and 0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:31.560 hundreds and hundreds of hours into Super Smash, Bros. Melee, 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:34.120 and you know, at least a few hundred hours to 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:36.920 switch so far, I just like, you know, don't have 0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:38.560 any shame. I was just what were you gonna say, 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:39.239 I'm talking about you? 0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:44.560 No, I was agreeing, like Super Smash's bomb. But yeah, no, 0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:47.080 I'm not by all means, I'm not discounting that at all. 0:44:47.120 --> 0:44:49.520 I'm on the same page like all of the time 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:54.320 that I've spent video gaming totally. But I've also like 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:59.200 especially into like the past few years I've suffered with 0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:06.040 like CD and depression more than anything, and and also ADHD, 0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:07.879 so trying to get to the bottom of those things 0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:11.080 and understanding like, Okay, what can I control about my 0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:15.440 life to improve it. In the past, I've tried cutting 0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:17.839 out video games and dope for me, and like I said, 0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:21.719 what I ended up doing was just filling it with 0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.200 something else, and then I'd rationalize my way back into it, 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:27.719 so I'd be like, oh, I'll just play a game 0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.920 with my friend, and then it would just fall back in, 0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:32.920 because I don't think people realize how easy it is 0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:37.440 when you're like addicted to something like this to be like, oh, well, 0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:40.400 I need to message somebody on Instagram or Snapchat and 0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:42.799 because I mean it's a form of communication, and then 0:45:42.840 --> 0:45:49.600 I'll leave it alone and not be a dicta yea yeah. 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.720 But in terms of like physical symptoms since I started 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:59.000 doing it, they're a lot stronger than I expected, like 0:45:59.560 --> 0:46:03.200 and not just like subjectively, like the first couple of days, 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:07.960 I felt exhausted for no reason at all, but it 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:10.920 felt like it wasn't boredom. It was just like I 0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:14.959 was felt purely like drained a little bit. I'm coming 0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:17.120 out of that, like with a vengeance, so I'm feeling 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:21.400 a lot better today. But that and it felt like 0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:23.920 I had cravings, Like I kept on thinking of ways 0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:27.200 that I could like get dopamine. There's also this really 0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:30.840 bizarre like muscle memory thing where I kept on like 0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:35.280 going to like Safari on my iPhone and like typing 0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:38.480 in YouTube or the news, only to find out like, hey, 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:42.520 I blocked them on those like passages, those like it's 0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:46.359 really bizarre to coming to terms with the fact that's 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:50.319 like how ingrained it is in you without even really oh. 0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.839 Yeah, oh yeah, no, no, no, you you you. That's 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.920 one of the scary things is when you realize that 0:46:57.040 --> 0:47:00.959 you're like you've programmed yourself to do all that shit. 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:07.880 No for sure, go ahead, no you go ahead. 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:11.320 Have you ever seen a social dilemma on Netflix? 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:12.040 I have. 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:14.520 I thought it was kind of cheesy that like dramatizations 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:15.040 and stuff. 0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:18.640 I agree that the dramatizations, but I think what they 0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:22.839 addressed was like the best it's been addressed so far, 0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:26.600 just with the idea of like it's not personal, it's 0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:31.759 not like execs on like Instagram or TikTok or video 0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:34.360 game makers are malicious if they want you to like 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:37.440 suffer anything or like throw away your life to them. 0:47:37.600 --> 0:47:42.120 But it's a business and fundamental goal of make profit, 0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:46.279 and you make profit by increasing engagements. I think that 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:51.880 focus without questioning the potential like fallbacks just kind of 0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:52.880 jacks the whole thing up. 0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.520 And it's also weird. I must have said this. I'm 0:47:56.520 --> 0:47:58.279 sure I've said this on a podcast one thousand times, 0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.759 but it is so crazy to look at like just 0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:04.640 a timeline of human existence and I guess all of 0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:11.960 existence and see the infinitesimal dot on the infinite timeline 0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:14.840 of existence in which this stuff has even existed, you know, 0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:19.080 and it's only gonna get exponentially crazier. Now I'm impressed 0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:24.480 with you because you did, you are do, You're a 0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:25.600 hit and everything at once. 0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:26.160 Right. 0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:27.879 A lot of people are like, I'm gonna quit sugar 0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:29.680 for ninety days or I'm gonna quit the Internet for 0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:32.480 ninety days, but you're like, I'm quitting all of everything 0:48:32.560 --> 0:48:36.359 that gives me any happiness in the world for ninety days. 0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:40.879 But that's the exact thing, is that if you leave 0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:45.600 anything up, it's simply going to be a substitute. You're 0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:49.359 just gonna fall back on something else and eventually you'll 0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:51.759 rationalize your way back into it. It has to be 0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:54.280 complete and total in my opinion. 0:48:54.360 --> 0:48:57.640 And you've and you've and you've you've tried this a 0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:00.720 few times before and it has not worked several times. 0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:03.640 Yes, I'm I'd like to think of myself as like 0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:07.360 a productivity buff. I've found try and like tried to 0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:10.000 find various ways to like deal with procrastination and that 0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.600 sort of thing. So like, I have tried this a 0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:14.440 ton of times. 0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:16.320 But what's the farthest you've got. 0:49:19.560 --> 0:49:26.080 Mm hmm on my own accord, Probably like a probably honestly, 0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:29.080 probably like five days. 0:49:31.080 --> 0:49:31.399 We haven't. 0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:34.240 You haven't even broken your record on this current. 0:49:34.360 --> 0:49:36.279 But I wasn't doing the same thing I was. I 0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:40.160 was allowing for substitute. This is my first go at 0:49:40.280 --> 0:49:43.719 like cold turkey, and so far it's like I don't 0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:46.520 even have like the same like I can tell there's 0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:50.719 a big difference. Rather than just substituting it. Substituting it, 0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:54.160 I felt like I was still wasting my time on something, 0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:56.760 But now it feels like I'm actually fully committed. 0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:03.879 If you weren't talking to me right now? And I guess, 0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:07.520 is this conversation giving you dopa Maine? You're talking to 0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:08.440 another person. 0:50:10.200 --> 0:50:11.880 A get go you are talking to. 0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:15.759 Do you have do you have the desire to jack 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:19.000 off onto a donut and eat it and then play 0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:22.080 thirty rounds of Overwatch? I don't know why I said 0:50:22.080 --> 0:50:24.080 the thing about jacking off onto a donut and eating it. 0:50:24.200 --> 0:50:26.040 I guess that was that would be like a. 0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:29.319 You know, the the. 0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:37.239 And it's a metaphor. It's a metaphor, a metaphor, yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:43.200 or would it be an analogy? I didn't take enough 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:43.880 English for this. 0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:47.480 I don't think they would talk about this thing of class? 0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:49.880 But did do you have the desire right now to 0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:50.640 do these things? 0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:54.640 So that's like with the cravings and stuff, it's like 0:50:55.920 --> 0:50:58.920 it's so fundamentally backgrounds, Like of course you got those 0:50:59.040 --> 0:51:03.000 ingrained habits, like yes, like every single like not every 0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.480 single second, you're able to kind of tune it out. 0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:09.799 But take for instance, like like the amount of times 0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:11.600 that I'm just like, oh I feel anxious, let me 0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:15.040 check my phone happens way more often than I thought 0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:17.240 it did. Like I thought I checked my phone with purpose, 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:20.319 but nah, same thing with overwash. I thought I would 0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:23.360 like rationalize and be like, hey, let me let me 0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:26.719 actually like play a game or two make myself feel good. 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:31.200 But I'm realizing that's never the case. It's purely just 0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:35.040 like a cycle A it's a it's a like built 0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:40.000 in reaction at this point, built pacify and it's crazy. 0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:44.080 I think I was projecting on you when I said 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:45.759 the thing about jacking off on the donut, but I'm 0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:49.160 not going to talk about that anymore. All right, before 0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:50.760 we go, I want to know from you just before 0:51:50.800 --> 0:51:54.480 we go, what what what surrounding this? What you're in school, 0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:56.520 What do you like, who you are as a person? 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:57.720 What do you what do you study? 0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:02.360 So I'm studying be IT and marketing management, but like 0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:05.520 I'm at like it's my sophomore year, so I still 0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:07.719 got like a lot of time to figure out where 0:52:07.760 --> 0:52:12.439 I want to go with it. Okay, but overall, yeah, 0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:17.040 it's good. I got a girl friend uh this semester, 0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:20.040 so that's pretty hype. We actually knew each other for 0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:23.520 like seven years, so I mean we knew each other 0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:25.800 for a while until but then she came back to 0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:29.399 yeah whatever, we reconnected. So that was pretty hype. 0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:30.200 That's cool. 0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:34.879 But yeah, I'm roommateing with my best friend. Overall things 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:39.960 are good aside from like you know, mental wise. 0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:42.760 Well, so you have so you're doing this for ninety days. 0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:45.600 Yeah, that's my goal. 0:52:47.000 --> 0:52:51.600 Do you tell me and like tell me tell me honestly, yep? 0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:52.799 Do you think Do you think you're going to make 0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:53.439 the ninety days? 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:54.640 I do? 0:52:56.680 --> 0:52:59.080 Okay, I think because I have the mindset now that 0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:02.440 like I'm like, of course everybody's gonna die one day, 0:53:03.000 --> 0:53:06.600 but like if I'm going to use up like three 0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:09.440 months of my life to like commit myself just to 0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:13.480 find out something, like just to like commit those three 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:16.279 months to something I've never done, rather than just like 0:53:16.360 --> 0:53:19.640 staying in a habit of something that I know probably 0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:23.400 messes with me to some extent. Like I'm like, I 0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:25.520 might as well commit and find out. 0:53:25.480 --> 0:53:33.920 You know, inspired by that. Yeah, but you know what 0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:37.239 talk is cheap? What's your name again? 0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:39.320 It's Aiden. 0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:43.840 The talk is cheap, Aiden with the A which I knew. No, 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:45.680 I didn't know that I'm lying, but. 0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:48.000 Talk is cheap. 0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:49.640 Uh, you call it? 0:53:49.719 --> 0:53:51.759 Hit me in ninety days, hit me in ninety days. 0:53:51.800 --> 0:53:53.600 Let's see if you did it? I'm if you if 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:58.160 you do it successfully, I was I was about to say, 0:53:58.160 --> 0:53:59.680 if you do it successfully, I'll give it to try, 0:53:59.719 --> 0:54:01.840 but it's not true. Maybe I'll try. I'd like to 0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:03.759 try it for I should try it for like a week, 0:54:05.280 --> 0:54:07.160 even now I do, I should try for a fucking 0:54:07.560 --> 0:54:10.880 try for an hour, honestly before I can make people. 0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:13.880 Say that like one quick thing I want to address 0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:17.520 before I do. Go. Yes, So people have said, like 0:54:17.600 --> 0:54:20.080 they've gotten benefits from like a day a week is 0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:23.239 a good thing to aim for. But I mean when 0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:25.520 you look at like studies and such or not studies, 0:54:25.560 --> 0:54:28.640 but like commentary by like top scientists and doctors, they'll 0:54:28.680 --> 0:54:31.960 be like, Okay, well, dopamine detals in and of itself 0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:35.320 is like not really scientifically correct, but it does address 0:54:35.400 --> 0:54:38.480 the reward system. And I think that's because like they're 0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:42.760 not really looking at what it does. When your brains 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:47.759 neurons can like conversate with each other, they require dopamine 0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:50.279 to kind of like set off those receptors. But when 0:54:50.320 --> 0:54:53.600 you're doing a bunch of like high dopamine activities regularly, 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:57.200 what essentially happens is the brain figures that because it's 0:54:57.239 --> 0:54:59.400 getting the same level of dopamine or it's getting like 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:03.680 an non normal amount of dopaine, it like adjusts itself 0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:07.279 so that it decreases the amount of receptors so that 0:55:07.400 --> 0:55:10.480 when you're doing those high dopamine activities it feels it 0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:17.040 begins to feel normal and not fun. And so then 0:55:17.160 --> 0:55:19.600 when you're doing non high dopamine activities, you just feel 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:21.759 like shit all the time. So that that is like 0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:24.759 the concept with the whole thing. But yeah, no, I 0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:27.279 just wanted to address that real quick because I feel 0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:29.520 like people get give it a bad rep but it 0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:33.320 like has worked and has real scientific basis for it. 0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:38.160 That sounded very scientific. It's funny. I'm all, you're always like, uh, 0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.840 scrambling around trying to figure out how to fix your 0:55:40.880 --> 0:55:44.239 fucking life at least I am. And it's like, no, 0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:47.799 we did. There's science on this ship. There's actually real 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:52.359 people did, uh, like wrote books on how to make 0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:56.640 your brain not make you hate yourself. So all right, 0:55:56.640 --> 0:56:00.960 I'll read I'll read some books eaten with a what's that? 0:56:01.760 --> 0:56:01.960 Hit me? 0:56:02.080 --> 0:56:04.200 Hit me with your last thing, hit me in the face, 0:56:04.960 --> 0:56:08.319 give me some with your last thing, last bit. Sorry 0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:09.600 you talked, not me. 0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:12.600 Okay, So this is a real shot in the dark here. 0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:15.040 I just am curious if you remember it. But a 0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:17.799 couple of like a year or two ago, when you're 0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:21.399 still streaming on our PAN for Reddit, Yeah, I sent 0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:26.080 you a message threatening you with my juggling abilities and 0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:28.360 you're like, oh, no, juggling. I don't know if you 0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:31.320 would remember that, but like that really stuck out to me. 0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:35.520 Was it a private message or like it was you 0:56:35.640 --> 0:56:37.279 said you what did you say? You said, I will 0:56:37.560 --> 0:56:39.120 kill you with your my juggles? 0:56:39.760 --> 0:56:42.440 No, Like, I don't know. I was juggling on our 0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:44.600 PAN and you like always boosted all the way to 0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:49.040 like first I always was like bruh, like all the 0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:50.759 arpans people are going to watch the get go. 0:56:52.480 --> 0:56:54.640 I But I mean, so you just sent me a 0:56:54.680 --> 0:56:57.640 message saying I I will threaten you with my juggling 0:56:57.680 --> 0:56:58.719 abilities and I said, oh. 0:56:58.680 --> 0:57:00.879 No, judge, I think I will destroy with my juggle. Yeah. 0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:02.399 I don't know that was that was a weird place 0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:05.440 for me at the time. But yeah, a little little 0:57:06.360 --> 0:57:06.880 little shot in. 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:11.000 The dark right there, to think you could have, you know, 0:57:11.239 --> 0:57:16.800 been a professional juggler, but now you're you know, sitting 0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:20.200 staring at walls trying to fix your brain. Yep, you 0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:22.720 know it, and having it sounds like having a good 0:57:22.760 --> 0:57:25.480 time doing it. I'm inspired. I'm gonna do that tomorrow. 0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:27.960 Please just try it, Okay, all right, you. 0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:28.960 Take care of with the name 0:57:32.160 --> 0:57:33.200 Goes on the line.
