Bonjour, friends. Welcome back to the show. It is a 3.5 million subscriber Q&A episode. I ask for questions on the internet. You give them to me. Then I choose only the ones about the Gaza Strip and trans issues. And I talk about them for an hour and a half. So let's get into it. The Mr. Wyatt. What's your favorite new sleep token, Caramel or Emergence?
For the few people in the audience that don't know who Sleep Token are, they're a band. They're a band that I'm a big fan of and I've been listening to for quite a while. And they knocked Chapel Roan off the number one spot a couple of weeks ago, which was fantastic. Pretty fun to see, given that that song has actual death metal pieces in it. I have got Caramel on repeat, dude.
I adore that xylophone at the start. I think his voice is... The lyrics, they're super meaningful as well. You know, it kind of does... track a little bit i suppose he's talking about the challenges and perils of fame and increased attention and scrutiny and not really knowing how to deal with it so yeah uh if you need to listen to a new track sleep token song caramel is muy bueno

And Toronto is one of the cities that's on there. And I'm not going to say what any of the others are because that's what the announcement is supposed to be about. But chriswilliamson.live and you'll find out before anybody else. Daniel Semper Pico, how do you deal with judging yourself for judging yourself?
In your latest vlog, you talked about how you weren't kind to yourself after your Joe Rogan interview, then you seem to be judging yourself for that. Yeah, dude, it's so funny that you say that. I don't know whether this got left in the vlog, but I did a section, I spoke to Max, videographer Max, about how I was trying to be unkind to my unkindness to myself.
So how do you deal with judging yourself or judging yourself is a super smart question. And it's tough, man. You end up with this infinite regress of feeling bad and then feeling bad about feeling bad and then feeling resentful about feeling bad about feeling bad and then getting frustrated at your resentment and then getting anxious about your frustration.
And yeah, these second, third, fourth order emotions that go all the way back are Um, especially when the very thing that you need is the very thing you're complaining about, right? Uh, you weren't kind to yourself and now I'm not being kind to myself about not being kind to myself. Um, it's tough. Uh, I mentioned on the vlog, if people haven't checked it out, it's, it's pretty cool. It's
It's strange if you have a period where your confidence gets knocked, and mine certainly has over the last couple of months. Being ill, still trying to sort of hold on to the same work rate and output and mood and stuff, whilst just not really, really not having it in the tank. It can chip away your self-belief.
