They don't care what the world thinks about them at all. I'm gonna dress like a princess, I'm gonna dress like Spiderman. But I want mom and dad to watch me jump off the step. And I desperately want mom and dad's approval. And that's where all of the learning about what's appropriate and what's inappropriate comes from. Strictly from our parents, nothing else. Until they reach about adolescence.

And adolescents, we convert to only needing our parents' approval to only needing our friends' approval. Frustrating for the parents, but very, very important for social animals because what we're doing is acculturating outside of our families, beyond our families, into the broader tribe. And that lasts for the rest of our lives. We don't actually go back to the family.

It's all friends, which is why I have to believe, and I'm just sort of thinking about this out loud now, I have to believe that's the reason so many of us go on Instagram and wish our parents happy birthday when our parents aren't on Instagram. Right?

It's for the social approval that I'm a good kid and showing all the pictures of my dad holding me when I was a baby, like scroll through all those pictures and everybody likes that I'm a good son, and yet my dad's not on Instagram, right? And so I have to wonder if that same drive, that same weird need to want social approval for being a good son is the same, it comes from the same root.

The amount of shit that I take simply because a friend's like, you should do it. You know what it's equivalent to? Because you're in the industry, I'm going to say something that's potentially insulting to you. Please. That's what I like to do. I like to talk to guests and then insult them. But this is potentially insulting to you.

So this is potentially insulting, so I need you to work this through me, with me, right? It feels like... I can't say that it is, but it feels like that the complete explosion in the supplement industry, where nothing is evaluated by the FDA, and every influencer now has a vitamin or a supplement or a powder or a drink with all kinds of nonsense claims, maybe they're good, maybe they're bad.

We're living in the dot-com boom of supplements that you know in the dot-com boom You were like I'm investing in this in this in this in this tech company Yeah, because my neighbor told me I had to yeah, and now that's been replaced with I'm now taking these 87 pills per day because one friend told me to take these for another friend and just like the dot-com boom

You can't live in a bubble like that. It's gonna have repercussions and it's gonna be unexpected and it's gonna be pretty violent. So riddle me this, is it time for the FDA to get involved? I can no longer tell the difference between a claim on a product you're selling or a claim on something that some, literally their only qualification is they have a following on Instagram.
