Full Episode
Dr. John Deloney, welcome to the show. My man, Chris. How are you? Thanks for the, dude, I'm fantastic. I love being back in Texas where I was born and raised, man. It's good. Are you adjusting?
I am slowly becoming native. Someone told me that I was allowed to use the word y'all because I've been here for three years now.
That's a huge, that's a huge welcome, Matt.
I get the sense. That's big, man. I get the sense that it is me being conned into saying the equivalent of the N word for texting people. Yeah. And the Texas Tribune is going to catch me hard-R-ing my way through y'all a couple of times. So I'm not falling for the sigh up. I can't quite get to that. I'm up to sidewalk and trash can, but y'all, not yet.
What's the alternative to trash can? Rubbish.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to be careful with rubbish bin here. Rubbish bin. Yeah, you don't know what that means. Crack that open. Come on, get it in you. All right. You've been waiting for this. I've been excited for this moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you'll have an unlimited amount going to the office soon. Well, I appreciate that. Orange sunrise for you. Excellent.
This is my first one. This is my live review. Cherry popper. That's outstanding. That's outstanding. Well done, man. Thank you. Well done.
Good, good. Yeah, you're now five IQ points smarter. Ten. Each sip is... I accept, man. You'll light me up like a Christmas tree. Half a standard deviation. All right. I have no idea how I didn't stumble across you and the work that you do, because it aligns so much with lots of the things that I'm very interested in, and I really appreciate the way that you... are firm but gentle and reassuring.
I think when you speak to people, a lot of the conversations around relationships and dating and mental health tend to me to either be so soft as to not have an impact or so brusque and harsh as to cause people to get defensive and for it to feel a little bit more about the host or the commentator, the advice giver, than it is about the person who has the problem.
