My body then like metabolizes that as excitement.

And when I go out, I have this burst of energy rather than like a freezing and tightening up.

So I find the physical part really, really helps.

Yeah.

So this comes from Adam Mastroianni, who is an academic and a writer who I just absolutely love.

He has a fantastic newsletter called Experimental History, I think is what it's called, or Experimental Psychology.

But he's fantastic.

And he has done academic research on why conversations end and whether people want them to end when they end or whether they have ended prematurely or too late.

So I just think that's like a fascinating research field.

And then

He came up with this idea of jamming versus joking, which so resonates with me.

And the idea is that sometimes we are playing with each other in a way that builds and lets the other person have space and feel like they're in it with us and we are going together.

And that's jamming, right?

It's like when you're playing instruments together and one person plays the guitar and then there's space for the bass to come in and now there's space for the drums and we're actually all making something incredible together.

And joking is his his other side, which is joking is when you are kind of making it all about you and you are so, so invested in the joke part of it that you actually are stopping them from being able to participate as well.

So his example is like if you're a pun guy, if someone says.

Hey, it's pretty cold outside.

And you immediately respond with like, uh, colder than, uh, colder than Antarctica.

And speaking of Antarctica arc, Noah's arc, you know, you're like, what, what are you talking about?

That's just like, not something that people can respond to.
