Chad. People don't even care about the guy's fucking name. Fuck Chad. His father's Sean. I mean, like, yeah, that's what we talk about for when the drug brings out who you are inside.

Like, the killing of the stabbing someone 108 times, that's you.

It's really boring after a while.

What about that?

Yeah, I stabbed her 108 times, but here's the thing. She was real naggy. Super shouty. And I was pretty high. Yeah, you were really high.

All right, you are.

You can freak out.

It's not like you're just like, yeah, fuck. 108 times. I mean, I've had like... I get anxious on weed. Yeah, but you don't go around stabby. No, I just sit there thinking everyone's going to hate me and I'm going to die. I don't think about stabbing people.

That is excessive.

I was looking up NyQuil because I was taking it. I also take a sleeping pill. I wanted to see if NyQuil. Here it goes.

I sound like I'm okay.

I'm not really. I don't think I would take ayahuasca.

What's serious bleeding?

I think I'm good. Just don't take my girlfriend's blood thinners. Does the Prozac make you kind of speedy at all? No. I have a really bad anxiety I've had my whole life. I was on Paxil for like 10 years. And then I tried to get off of it. What is Paxil? What is that one? It's like an ant. It's just another SSRI. Yeah. And I got off of it like five years ago. Just weaned off of it.

And then like six months later I had the worst panic of my life. I basically was dizzy for like three months straight. I had a panic attack at every show, just on stage, every open mic, open mic or whatever, I'd have a panic attack on stage, it was awful. And I was super dizzy. And my psychiatrist said it wasn't even withdrawal.

No, no.

Well, that was in Louisville. This was in New York. And after I went to rehab, I was like, maybe I should get a different shrink. But I had terrible dizziness, and I had to get on something else. So I got on Prozac, and it helped a little with that.

I don't have to, like, have my girlfriend, you know, bore her with having sex for too long. It helped that, you know, because it makes you... Well, actually, it keeps you from getting it up. Oh. But I don't have that problem, so it does okay.

I think it was the same thing. I just didn't want to go back on Paxil because Paxil had a lot of weight gain. So I went on Prozac and then gained the weight anyway.

Both of them honestly made me feel kind of like the same, which is just like a somewhat anxious person. The problem was when I was on Paxil... I thought I didn't need it. But the reason I thought I didn't need it is because I was on it. You know what I mean? That's the problem with people who get off antidepressants. They're like, well, I don't need it. No, but that's because it's working.
