Speaker 3: Oh? My god? I woods delivering local and Minneapolis area
Speaker 3: and I was backing into doc and I hit something
Speaker 3: and I go, what the hell is that? And I
Speaker 3: thought they put a dumpster outside the dock cannot be
Speaker 3: backed inside of a building, but it's it's black and
Speaker 3: I hit a parked car and I got out and
Speaker 3: next thing you know, here comes a naked blonde, then
Speaker 3: a naked brunette. So that's the craziest ship I've seen
Speaker 3: out here.
Speaker 1: Wait they there were just two naked girls in the
Speaker 1: in the park car.
Speaker 3: Yes, and alcohol involved on their part.
Speaker 1: Weird, weird. Oh yeah, what now? Now? Where what's the
Speaker 1: farthest distance you've driven in one day?
Speaker 3: That was on paper walks? So I probably did twelve
Speaker 3: hundred miles. And when we had paper, Now we got
Speaker 3: computers hard. We can't lie no more.
Speaker 1: We used to lie about how long you've driven for,
Speaker 1: like for to make money or something.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you'd worked twenty hour days, twenty one, twenty two,
Speaker 3: whatever it was. And I'd leave Minneapolis, drive to La
Speaker 3: and La. I'd go to Chattanooga and I might lay
Speaker 3: down for eight hours. Back then, and that was twenty
Speaker 3: five years ago when I used to do that kind
Speaker 3: of driving.
Speaker 1: Now, what is the worst diarrhea you've ever gotten from

Speaker 3: and eat, You're gonna have diarrhea. You're gonna shoot here.
Speaker 1: Now, you must have, you must have, Like, how do
Speaker 1: you how do you do food? Because I assume you've
Speaker 1: been doing this for thirty five years, and I assume
Speaker 1: that you're not exclusively eating at Circle K's and other
Speaker 1: gas stations, because I don't think you could make would
Speaker 1: still be alive if that was how you did it?
Speaker 1: So how do you do it?

Speaker 1: Thank you again, Bailey and Duyne for taking taking us
Speaker 1: with you on your journey across America. This, this Velma
Speaker 1: and Fred tattoo is pretty funny. Uh fuck it. I'll
Speaker 1: post it in discord. Maybe I don't know, or you'll
Speaker 1: or I'll never do anything with it at all, and
Speaker 1: it will just be for me. And you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I like the I like the idea of people
Speaker 1: in their minds picturing what it looks like more than
Speaker 1: just showing it. And also, listen, if you here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, and you if you're listening
Speaker 1: to this and you really want to know what Fred
Speaker 1: fucking well, what Fred fucking Velma looks like? Buddy, It's
Speaker 1: a click away on the internet if you want to
Speaker 1: Google that if you want to have that forever etched
Speaker 1: into your Internet search history. That's the that's the only price, okay,
Speaker 1: because there's free Rule thirty four. Flintstone's hend tie a
Speaker 1: click away, which is it's funny because that's the most
Speaker 1: anachronistic thing that could exist. Is simply is Flintstone's Rule
Speaker 1: thirty four because it's it's such a comment on the
Speaker 1: future on the Internet era at just how quickly you
Speaker 1: can pull up an image of Fred fucking Velma and
Speaker 1: it's it's uh that in contrast with what the Flintstones
Speaker 1: is all about, which is uh, you know rocks. It's
Speaker 1: really beautiful. It's really a statement on something that I
Speaker 1: haven't figured out just yet. But thank you again Dwayne
Speaker 1: and Bailey for gracing us with your presence and Deak
Speaker 1: bless you all from hell. Hi, what's going on?
Speaker 4: And everybody is right? You do sound different through a phone?
Speaker 1: Why do people keep well, everybody sounds different through the phone.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people keep saying that everybody sounds
Speaker 1: different through the phone. That's why. I that's why on
Speaker 1: my Reddit all the time or like I That's what.
Speaker 4: It is people, It's the quality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's the beautiful Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead, you go ahead. Oh well, okay, so
Speaker 4: I I know again no chat, But socks on the
Speaker 4: beach did sell my name correctly. I'm an avid anti
Speaker 4: AI D E N spell. I don't really care.
Speaker 1: About the socks on the beach as a chatter, and
Speaker 1: they correctly spelled your name. Okay, So you are not
Speaker 1: a I D E N.
Speaker 4: No, that's like the second wave generation of Aiden. It's
Speaker 4: like the white Wine Mom version.
Speaker 1: What are you?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm a I D an you know the O
Speaker 4: G A I D Yeah. Oh no A I D
Speaker 4: A A I D A N.
Speaker 1: Well listen, you know me, I'm gonna forget your name
Speaker 1: in about five seconds. So spelling is in another u
Speaker 1: I like how much I feet like and I know
Speaker 1: it sucks and I know it. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is with my brain where I'm not bad with
Speaker 1: we're'm bad with names and stuff, but the like figuring
Speaker 1: out how to remembering how to spell your name is
Speaker 1: in another universe. That's like I'm not evolved enough of
Speaker 1: a creature to have that information, right.
Speaker 4: That's a nitpicky thing on my part.
Speaker 1: No, No, you're okay, I know you're okay, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate you calling it. I was gonna say, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I get like people on people always say like, oh,
Speaker 1: the calls are faked or it's like the same person
Speaker 1: calling in every time, and it's like, well, yeah, the mic,
Speaker 1: the microphone makes it look like it makes it sound
Speaker 1: like it's the same person.
Speaker 4: It's a totally different quality. I mean, I think that's
Speaker 4: why you sound like different because you're on like a
Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of mike you're using. It's
Speaker 4: like yetti or something nice, but it's like way higher
Speaker 4: quality than whatever you're calling on. So I think it's
Speaker 4: just a way different quality. The same way like you'll
Speaker 4: record yourself on like a nice mic and then listen
Speaker 4: to yourself on like a phone call and you're like you, well.
Speaker 1: I'm done talking about audio engineering. I want to know
Speaker 1: about you. Aiden what's going on? How can you call?
Speaker 1: It's okay if you don't have a reason, but if
Speaker 1: you do, hit me no.
Speaker 4: So I called in specifically because I am starting to
Speaker 4: do a ninety day what they call a dopamine detox. Yeah,
Speaker 4: basically just like take a break from all different kinds
Speaker 4: of like crazy stimulation. So like video games, alcohol, weed
Speaker 4: which sucks, TV shows, literally anything that could possibly like
Speaker 4: give you happiness, you just got to kind of cut
Speaker 4: out and then just like only do like I guess,
Speaker 4: like reading and stuff that's kind of like lighter. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm on, Like, I'm not very far into it. I'm
Speaker 4: about on day four, but like already, like I've been
Speaker 4: feeling it a lot.
Speaker 1: Well, it's nice to know that my stream releases no
Speaker 1: dopamine in your brain, and so it's okay for you
Speaker 1: to see you fall into.
Speaker 4: A great So music and podcasts are fine. So I've
Speaker 4: been listening to your podcast. I was listening to your
Speaker 4: most recent one right up to this, and I was like, oh, shoot,
Speaker 4: be's streaming the night since it's one day, so that
Speaker 4: was kind of hype huh. But yeah, no, oh sorry,
Speaker 4: go ahead.
Speaker 1: Oh well, so okay, So so you're not allowed you're
Speaker 1: allowed to listen to podcasts. I assume you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to like crack addict, scroll, uh, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, facial
Speaker 1: media too.
Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah, so one thing on that actually is bizarre.
Speaker 4: So every time I've tried to do this in the past,
Speaker 4: I finally cracked it. What ended up happening like taking
Speaker 4: a break from video games or taking a break from
Speaker 4: something else. What ends up happening is your brain notices
Speaker 4: the deficiency and it tries to make up for it
Speaker 4: in other places. So that can either be social media,
Speaker 4: YouTube regardless, So higher high dopamine activities like take for instance,
Speaker 4: I take a five day sabbatical from video gaming, but
Speaker 4: I'm gonna up is by the second day. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be just accessing YouTube every other like second, just because
Speaker 4: I'm not getting the same level that I got before.
Speaker 4: Someone in the chat was talking about like legal addictions
Speaker 4: or whatever, and I honestly believe that like dopamine or
Speaker 4: like over indulging in the reward system is like the biggest,
Speaker 4: like freaking' addiction out there.
Speaker 1: All Right, so you're day four into this thing. You're
Speaker 1: allowed to listen to podcasts. I guess you're allowed. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess you're allowed to be on twitch. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So.
Speaker 4: Well the Twitch part was mostly just because I wanted
Speaker 4: to call it in right here.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'll give you a I won't tell who,
Speaker 1: I won't tell your sponsor, oh that you called me?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: So of your vices, of the things that give you dopamine,
Speaker 1: which ones, like you know, got you off the most.
Speaker 1: What what we're like the biggest uh uh Devil's temptations
Speaker 1: for you? Was it poorn? Was it sugar? Is it weed?
Speaker 1: What's what are your big big vices?
Speaker 4: So definitely sugar and video games. That's another thing too,
Speaker 4: is like cutting out sugar. That has been crazy because
Speaker 4: I never realized how much sugar isn't everything you consume.
Speaker 1: Fucking yeah, it's so crazy.
Speaker 4: And I mean I live on a university campus, so
Speaker 4: they're able to get away with like pumping so much
Speaker 4: sugar into everything you eat, because I mean, where else
Speaker 4: are you're going to get food? So yeah, I know
Speaker 4: it's it's wild. It is bizarre. But more than that,
Speaker 4: I'd probably say sugar in video games wan anything just
Speaker 4: in terms of taking up my time and just unhealthiness.
Speaker 1: What kind of video games?
Speaker 4: Honestly, usually I'll end up playing like, uh, Overwatch with
Speaker 4: some buddies, or like will end up playing like jack
Speaker 4: Box or Minecraft, just like the typical like oh, do
Speaker 4: it with friends type deal.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean you know, if you're doing it with
Speaker 1: like friends, that seems like it's not, you know, horrible.
Speaker 4: Well that's what it is in the offset, and then
Speaker 4: I start to break off and do it on my
Speaker 4: own and then fill the rest of my time up,
Speaker 4: so it's no longer like a group activity.
Speaker 1: Okay, And how many how many hours a day were
Speaker 1: you playing video games?
Speaker 4: Honestly, anytime I really got free time, So at least
Speaker 4: like two to four hours every day, okay, yeah, which
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean doesn't sound like a lot, but
Speaker 4: add that to social media and right everything.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, you know, I've been playing a lot of switch.
Speaker 1: I've been playing like all the Zelda games on there
Speaker 1: and all the Mario games. Yeah, I'm actually I'm having
Speaker 1: a great time because I used to spend my free
Speaker 1: I'm not a big like I haven't seen any of
Speaker 1: the TV shows or I haven't seen any movies. But
Speaker 1: I realized that I used to spend my free time
Speaker 1: just like scrolling TikTok or reels or YouTube or whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck, And it was kind of like trash. But
Speaker 1: at least with video games, you know, I'm I am
Speaker 1: focused on something that feels intentional. Right, you can I
Speaker 1: decide to turn on my switch and play Zelda and
Speaker 1: experience it as a thing as opposed to like, I'm
Speaker 1: on TikTok just looking at things that are upsetting, which
Speaker 1: and I found myself there. I didn't decide to be there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, exactly. I think that's also the same reason
Speaker 4: people get pissed off with multiplayer games and like feel
Speaker 4: wildly depressed, just because at the end of the day
Speaker 4: you're not getting anything out of it. With camp I
Speaker 4: games like Breath of the Wild, you feel like you're
Speaker 4: actually getting a sense of accomplishment. I know you're talking
Speaker 4: about like with that other guy who felt I think
Speaker 4: he was calling about Monica dating sim or something like that,
Speaker 4: talking about how you uh saved a village and it
Speaker 4: was like a form of like escapism, but at the
Speaker 4: same time you actually felt like you were that kind
Speaker 4: of hero aspect.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean I guess my concern is, like, Okay,
Speaker 4: what happens when you shut down that computer. I mean, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: that was awesome, but now you got to like focus
Speaker 4: in on real life. You have all these stresses and
Speaker 4: anxieties and stuff, and hey, you felt that momentary relief,
Speaker 4: but then like all that happiness you're only deriving from
Speaker 4: those sources.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's fine, It's very fine. I've thought
Speaker 1: about that, right, I guess, like I sunk a ton
Speaker 1: of time into these Elda games, and when they were over,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I didn't Oh I still have
Speaker 1: to go back into real life. But then I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, when I fucking die, you could say the
Speaker 1: same thing about that. Yeah, true, but that's I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a healthy way to look at, you know,
Speaker 1: being alive. Yeah, I mean that's you know, that's on.
Speaker 1: You can't you cannot refute that.
Speaker 3: But I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have shame over the time I've
Speaker 1: spent playing video games. I probably, you know, hundreds and
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of hours into Super Smash, Bros. Melee,
Speaker 1: and you know, at least a few hundred hours to
Speaker 1: switch so far, I just like, you know, don't have
Speaker 1: any shame. I was just what were you gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you?
Speaker 4: No, I was agreeing, like Super Smash's bomb. But yeah, no,
Speaker 4: I'm not by all means, I'm not discounting that at all.
Speaker 4: I'm on the same page like all of the time
Speaker 4: that I've spent video gaming totally. But I've also like
Speaker 4: especially into like the past few years I've suffered with
Speaker 4: like CD and depression more than anything, and and also ADHD,
Speaker 4: so trying to get to the bottom of those things
Speaker 4: and understanding like, Okay, what can I control about my
Speaker 4: life to improve it. In the past, I've tried cutting
Speaker 4: out video games and dope for me, and like I said,
Speaker 4: what I ended up doing was just filling it with
Speaker 4: something else, and then I'd rationalize my way back into it,
Speaker 4: so I'd be like, oh, I'll just play a game
Speaker 4: with my friend, and then it would just fall back in,
Speaker 4: because I don't think people realize how easy it is
Speaker 4: when you're like addicted to something like this to be like, oh, well,
Speaker 4: I need to message somebody on Instagram or Snapchat and
Speaker 4: because I mean it's a form of communication, and then
Speaker 4: I'll leave it alone and not be a dicta yea yeah.
Speaker 4: But in terms of like physical symptoms since I started
Speaker 4: doing it, they're a lot stronger than I expected, like
Speaker 4: and not just like subjectively, like the first couple of days,
Speaker 4: I felt exhausted for no reason at all, but it
Speaker 4: felt like it wasn't boredom. It was just like I
Speaker 4: was felt purely like drained a little bit. I'm coming
Speaker 4: out of that, like with a vengeance, so I'm feeling
Speaker 4: a lot better today. But that and it felt like
Speaker 4: I had cravings, Like I kept on thinking of ways
Speaker 4: that I could like get dopamine. There's also this really
Speaker 4: bizarre like muscle memory thing where I kept on like
Speaker 4: going to like Safari on my iPhone and like typing
Speaker 4: in YouTube or the news, only to find out like, hey,
Speaker 4: I blocked them on those like passages, those like it's
Speaker 4: really bizarre to coming to terms with the fact that's
Speaker 4: like how ingrained it is in you without even really oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, no, no, no, you you you. That's
Speaker 1: one of the scary things is when you realize that
Speaker 1: you're like you've programmed yourself to do all that shit.
Speaker 1: No for sure, go ahead, no you go ahead.
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen a social dilemma on Netflix?
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of cheesy that like dramatizations
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 4: I agree that the dramatizations, but I think what they
Speaker 4: addressed was like the best it's been addressed so far,
Speaker 4: just with the idea of like it's not personal, it's
Speaker 4: not like execs on like Instagram or TikTok or video
Speaker 4: game makers are malicious if they want you to like
Speaker 4: suffer anything or like throw away your life to them.
Speaker 4: But it's a business and fundamental goal of make profit,
Speaker 4: and you make profit by increasing engagements. I think that
Speaker 4: focus without questioning the potential like fallbacks just kind of
Speaker 4: jacks the whole thing up.
Speaker 1: And it's also weird. I must have said this. I'm
Speaker 1: sure I've said this on a podcast one thousand times,
Speaker 1: but it is so crazy to look at like just
Speaker 1: a timeline of human existence and I guess all of
Speaker 1: existence and see the infinitesimal dot on the infinite timeline
Speaker 1: of existence in which this stuff has even existed, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's only gonna get exponentially crazier. Now I'm impressed
Speaker 1: with you because you did, you are do, You're a
Speaker 1: hit and everything at once.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like, I'm gonna quit sugar
Speaker 1: for ninety days or I'm gonna quit the Internet for
Speaker 1: ninety days, but you're like, I'm quitting all of everything
Speaker 1: that gives me any happiness in the world for ninety days.
Speaker 4: But that's the exact thing, is that if you leave
Speaker 4: anything up, it's simply going to be a substitute. You're
Speaker 4: just gonna fall back on something else and eventually you'll
Speaker 4: rationalize your way back into it. It has to be
Speaker 4: complete and total in my opinion.
Speaker 1: And you've and you've and you've you've tried this a
Speaker 1: few times before and it has not worked several times.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm I'd like to think of myself as like
Speaker 4: a productivity buff. I've found try and like tried to
Speaker 4: find various ways to like deal with procrastination and that
Speaker 4: sort of thing. So like, I have tried this a
Speaker 4: ton of times.
Speaker 1: But what's the farthest you've got.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm on my own accord, Probably like a probably honestly,
Speaker 4: probably like five days.
Speaker 3: We haven't.
Speaker 1: You haven't even broken your record on this current.
Speaker 4: But I wasn't doing the same thing I was. I
Speaker 4: was allowing for substitute. This is my first go at
Speaker 4: like cold turkey, and so far it's like I don't
Speaker 4: even have like the same like I can tell there's
Speaker 4: a big difference. Rather than just substituting it. Substituting it,
Speaker 4: I felt like I was still wasting my time on something,
Speaker 4: But now it feels like I'm actually fully committed.
Speaker 1: If you weren't talking to me right now? And I guess,
Speaker 1: is this conversation giving you dopa Maine? You're talking to
Speaker 1: another person.
Speaker 4: A get go you are talking to.
Speaker 1: Do you have do you have the desire to jack
Speaker 1: off onto a donut and eat it and then play
Speaker 1: thirty rounds of Overwatch? I don't know why I said
Speaker 1: the thing about jacking off onto a donut and eating it.
Speaker 1: I guess that was that would be like a.
Speaker 3: You know, the the.
Speaker 4: And it's a metaphor. It's a metaphor, a metaphor, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 4: or would it be an analogy? I didn't take enough
Speaker 4: English for this.
Speaker 1: I don't think they would talk about this thing of class?
Speaker 1: But did do you have the desire right now to
Speaker 1: do these things?
Speaker 4: So that's like with the cravings and stuff, it's like
Speaker 4: it's so fundamentally backgrounds, Like of course you got those
Speaker 4: ingrained habits, like yes, like every single like not every
Speaker 4: single second, you're able to kind of tune it out.
Speaker 4: But take for instance, like like the amount of times
Speaker 4: that I'm just like, oh I feel anxious, let me
Speaker 4: check my phone happens way more often than I thought
Speaker 4: it did. Like I thought I checked my phone with purpose,
Speaker 4: but nah, same thing with overwash. I thought I would
Speaker 4: like rationalize and be like, hey, let me let me
Speaker 4: actually like play a game or two make myself feel good.
Speaker 4: But I'm realizing that's never the case. It's purely just
Speaker 4: like a cycle A it's a it's a like built
Speaker 4: in reaction at this point, built pacify and it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think I was projecting on you when I said
Speaker 1: the thing about jacking off on the donut, but I'm
Speaker 1: not going to talk about that anymore. All right, before
Speaker 1: we go, I want to know from you just before
Speaker 1: we go, what what what surrounding this? What you're in school,
Speaker 1: What do you like, who you are as a person?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you study?
Speaker 4: So I'm studying be IT and marketing management, but like
Speaker 4: I'm at like it's my sophomore year, so I still
Speaker 4: got like a lot of time to figure out where
Speaker 4: I want to go with it. Okay, but overall, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's good. I got a girl friend uh this semester,
Speaker 4: so that's pretty hype. We actually knew each other for
Speaker 4: like seven years, so I mean we knew each other
Speaker 4: for a while until but then she came back to
Speaker 4: yeah whatever, we reconnected. So that was pretty hype.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm roommateing with my best friend. Overall things
Speaker 4: are good aside from like you know, mental wise.
Speaker 1: Well, so you have so you're doing this for ninety days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my goal.
Speaker 1: Do you tell me and like tell me tell me honestly, yep?
Speaker 1: Do you think Do you think you're going to make
Speaker 1: the ninety days?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 4: Okay, I think because I have the mindset now that
Speaker 4: like I'm like, of course everybody's gonna die one day,
Speaker 4: but like if I'm going to use up like three
Speaker 4: months of my life to like commit myself just to
Speaker 4: find out something, like just to like commit those three
Speaker 4: months to something I've never done, rather than just like
Speaker 4: staying in a habit of something that I know probably
Speaker 4: messes with me to some extent. Like I'm like, I
Speaker 4: might as well commit and find out.
Speaker 1: You know, inspired by that. Yeah, but you know what
Speaker 1: talk is cheap? What's your name again?
Speaker 4: It's Aiden.
Speaker 1: The talk is cheap, Aiden with the A which I knew. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I'm lying, but.
Speaker 4: Talk is cheap.
Speaker 3: Uh, you call it?
Speaker 1: Hit me in ninety days, hit me in ninety days.
Speaker 1: Let's see if you did it? I'm if you if
Speaker 1: you do it successfully, I was I was about to say,
Speaker 1: if you do it successfully, I'll give it to try,
Speaker 1: but it's not true. Maybe I'll try. I'd like to
Speaker 1: try it for I should try it for like a week,
Speaker 1: even now I do, I should try for a fucking
Speaker 1: try for an hour, honestly before I can make people.
Speaker 4: Say that like one quick thing I want to address
Speaker 4: before I do. Go. Yes, So people have said, like
Speaker 4: they've gotten benefits from like a day a week is
Speaker 4: a good thing to aim for. But I mean when
Speaker 4: you look at like studies and such or not studies,
Speaker 4: but like commentary by like top scientists and doctors, they'll
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, well, dopamine detals in and of itself
Speaker 4: is like not really scientifically correct, but it does address
Speaker 4: the reward system. And I think that's because like they're
Speaker 4: not really looking at what it does. When your brains
Speaker 4: neurons can like conversate with each other, they require dopamine
Speaker 4: to kind of like set off those receptors. But when
Speaker 4: you're doing a bunch of like high dopamine activities regularly,
Speaker 4: what essentially happens is the brain figures that because it's
Speaker 4: getting the same level of dopamine or it's getting like
Speaker 4: an non normal amount of dopaine, it like adjusts itself
Speaker 4: so that it decreases the amount of receptors so that
Speaker 4: when you're doing those high dopamine activities it feels it
Speaker 4: begins to feel normal and not fun. And so then
Speaker 4: when you're doing non high dopamine activities, you just feel
Speaker 4: like shit all the time. So that that is like
Speaker 4: the concept with the whole thing. But yeah, no, I
Speaker 4: just wanted to address that real quick because I feel
Speaker 4: like people get give it a bad rep but it
Speaker 4: like has worked and has real scientific basis for it.
Speaker 1: That sounded very scientific. It's funny. I'm all, you're always like, uh,
Speaker 1: scrambling around trying to figure out how to fix your
Speaker 1: fucking life at least I am. And it's like, no,
