The natural runner's high. What do you call it? Ephedrine? Not ephedrine. Euphoria? What is it called? Whatever that thing is.
But you have to do it for a while. You have to run for like, I think, 45 minutes.
But it's side effects. Yeah. No, I mean, when you don't do drugs, that's the only way. Yeah. My dad plays tennis every day for like five hours. That's a good thing. Yeah. That's a great thing. He's obsessed. All he does is play tennis or watch tennis. Really? Just a tennis freak. He's a tennis freak. And he's retired, so he just plays tennis all day? Just plays tennis.
He has one of those rackets where you ... He's a real nerd about where you plug it into the computer and look at the data. Yeah.
And then he's either playing tennis or doing that or just watching tennis on TV. Wow.
Chess is my favorite sport. Really? I'm only out of breath after the first 45. Do you play chess? I used to play chess. I used to be in the chess club. Oh, no kidding. I don't play any more as well, but I love chess, yeah.
That's how I feel about video games. My comic friend played video games and I'm like, I think that's the worst drug. Because then you're just wasting your life. There's no intervention.
I was at my brother's place. I played a video game once. And I hadn't played it since GoldenEye. So I hadn't seen any of the improvements. So I started playing. They're like movies now. It's like crazy. Yeah. And I got so hooked, there was a moment where I just saw myself being addicted and just snapped out of it. It was like four hours straight, yeah.
I'm like a workaholic a bit, which obviously you are.
Yeah. No, I'm not a workaholic. When I worked at Red Lobster, I was not. When I worked at Frisch's Big Boy, I was not... Exactly. Let's get this right.
Why is it never the teacher's fault?
It's like, why don't the teachers say something interesting? It's insane. It's like, to be like, oh, no, no, they're just... It's like if an audience doesn't laugh and you're like, no, no, no. It's not that I'm not funny. It's that you have laughing deficit disorder. It's like it's throwing the ball onto something else. Be interesting.
That's amazing. So if you're too focused, you don't know when to quit. Right. And then you get fucking killed, or you run out of resources.
Right, and now, yeah, well, you know, I got really addicted to Adderall, like everyone. I'm scared of that, too. I've never tried it. I used to, when I was in, after college, I started taking it, like, recreationally. And then I went to a psychiatrist and told her I had a problem. And she was like, well, we can prescribe it for you. Oh, Jesus Christ. Then it'll no longer be a problem. Oh, my God.
I was like, okay. I was thinking more like rehab. What kind of fucking psychiatrist are you? She's probably on Adderall right now.
