No, Annie.

Like they're going to just be so happy to hear from me.

That's what I've been told, that they do circle back.

Really?

Yeah.

Come on.

This is what I've been told.

Did you do that test?

It's just anecdotal.

Yeah.

But Daniel says when they did do that study with the teens, the results showed that mom's voice is still in that pleasure center.

Yes.

Mom doesn't get completely kicked out of that part of the brain.

It's just now that she's a little bit quieter.

It's interesting because, like, when I heard my mom's voice when you guys played it, I felt, like, preternaturally comforted.

But it's like, I don't, these days, I don't, you know, gab on the phone that much with her about stuff.

And, you know, but just hearing the voice and the rhythms and, like, the little, like, the articulations, like, in this way that is so her, that's, like, comforting in a way that's kind of, like,

re-encountering like a primal lullaby.

Back in a second.

All right, so I'm Lulu Miller, back with... I'm in a protein bar.
