Note to Ben Shapiro: not sure Candace Owens is a big fan of the Jews A sick little girl needs Bruins v. Rangers tickets. I mean…sort of. She recently had Covid… When life gives you Lemon, fire him because he’s a terrible interviewer How not to do an interview
Doth mine eyes betray me? Behold, yet another chapter unfoldeth! Hard on the heels of one that didst taste as sweet as nectar, I fear thou aim'st to slay me with a surfeit of sweetness. Though 'sour' the title claims, I dread still the demise by sugary chains.
I have thoughts on the ketamine topic. I don't expect you to know everything, I just have some personal experience I'd like to share. I've undergone treatment (always and only legally) a few times: two rounds of multi-day infusions for a painful nerve condition and at-home troches (lozenges) for depression (more or less once a week). It _may_ have helped with the pain, it didn't do anything for the depression. I've never done illicit drugs, so it was quite an experience. Made me super sick but the experience is otherwise beautiful. Moynihan is right that it seems to mostly have some potential with the severely suicidal. Scott Alexander wrote a lot about it and he says it _does_ alter your brain in a more long-term fashion, but my experience is more that it's just a wild ride that can interrupt whatever is going on in your head.
One area where I have strong feelings is with the nasal spray: Esketamine. It's horrible. Horrible in the sense that it's actually LESS effective than standard ketamine. But with our messed up system companies couldn't make money on that because it's a generic now and so they invented a worse drug to sell for more money.
I think some of the more recent studies are showing the early hype was overblown though. There are some showing limited positive results and maybe even (if I recall) no benefit after a short time. The results last for a few days to a week.
In the end the troches made me so sick that I had to stop. Plus, they weren't helping much, if at all.
Speaking of racist foods., there is a packaged oreo-like cookie sold in Turkey called Negro, and negro is not the word for the color black in Turkish. But, they've got a lot of weird food names over there - Lady's Thigh Balls, Your Aunt, and Noah's Ark. All delicious.
"I would not like it if I were a journalist and my work was censored," she said in an interview, smiling easily under short-cropped hair. "But unfortunately, the history of our last three years has shown us that the newspapers have led us into genuinely dangerous situations. In the three years since our revolution, some media have provoked disorientation among the people, uncertainties."
What? Already??? The new shoes are giving you super powers Matt!
I’m demanding a mea culpa from you guys for releasing more content than I have time for at the moment. The world is watching.

Appreciate the sobriety and good sense on all things Trump. And sorry for praising your sobriety.
Amplifying Don Lemon and Candace Owen's smh.
This is the real super Tuesday!!!
I’ve listened to two episodes in one day and I’m giddy 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Hmmm, Megyn Kelly? Sounds like a bloodbath coming out of her eyes, coming out of her...whatever...
I propose the term “heterodoxual.”

Matt’s Nelba Blanton/Nellie Bowles joke deserves a shout out.

Here's the Sandinista's (Capt.) Nelba Blandon quote:
"They accused us of suppressing freedom of expression. This was a lie and we could not let them publish it."

I'm begging you to stop mispronouncing Nevada that way
I still haven't recovered from yesterday!
The end of the podcast reminded me of the time I was driving through NE Arkansas and came across the poorly thought out daycare name "Hugs and Tugs."
