And then send it out to people to check it out and edit it and change it and tell them it's just an unedited off the top of my head thing that isn't very good. And so please fix it up and correct it and delete things and add whatever you want. And then that makes it real easy just to spit out some average junk. which is what the show notes consist of.

And then I send them out to everyone to, you know, say the people who are on the show and say, check this out, change anything you want. And then most of the time people say, oh, this is great, just the way it is. It's so interesting. And Rhonda, sometimes you'll find some typos or something and it makes some corrections that I always appreciate. But it's like you can get away with being average.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, my first academic talk was at Oxford in England at a conference, and I was terribly anxious, and I was just certain I would blow it. It was even worse than the Harvard thing. It was a lot worse. And I did blow it. It was even worse than what I had imagined, and I couldn't sleep a wink the night before.

I was just up wandering around the Oxford campus, and owls were hooting at me sarcastically, and the whole world seemed against me. And my talk wasn't until the end of the following day, which was the end of the conference. And I was so nervous, it was just horrible. It was the most humiliating experience I've ever had, I think. But then I worked to getting over that.

And it's just like what you say, Matt. Now I'm teaching tonight. This is my second podcast today. And I'm confronting it all the time. And now the thing that I was so afraid of, I love doing. But I still get a little anxious from time to time. Before this morning's podcast, I was very anxious because I thought this guy was going to challenge me and rip me to shreds.

I don't know how I got that idea. But probably because my computer was failing and I was in a state of high anxiety. But he was just so sweet and kind, and so it was just a wonderful, wonderful experience. He's the guy who wrote F Depression and F Anxiety. And so I thought he'd be real aggressive. But he was just the kindest guy you can imagine.

I loved having you on today, Jason. I'm so grateful. It was just that much richer, our podcast, because of you. Just don't ever do it again. You got it.

Oh, yeah. No problem. It was just I loved the comradeship today and the talk and everything that we did. And we got two of our 10 questions answered. We didn't get to the first of yours, Jason. And so we'll probably, you know, use that same list for the next Ask David, should we, folks?

Yeah, because those eight additional questions, I'll leave them in the show notes, but then I'll say we'll be addressing numbers three and four and five in upcoming podcasts. But, you know, just so nice to hang out and pretend like we're experts or something. You feel like you have something you can give to somebody. Maybe you have a little understanding that they don't, that they will appreciate.

So let us know, Haraname, was this helpful to you? And also, who was our first one? That was Anonymous. Yes. Oh, anonymous. The self-defeating belief was anonymous. Oh, okay. Well, email us if you hear the show. I hope you will. And tell us what you think.
