I tried when I was a teenager, Broine. I believed myself to be allergic. I've never fully looked into it.

Really. Yeah, that's kind of cool. It's good for you because that I was not good for you. But I like it.

Yeah, you seem like you really like it.

I like it because I have anxiety, so it helps reduce my anxiety. Okay, it attacks the Gabba receptors in your brain.

Is that a real receptor? Yeah, that's a fun name.

Yeah.

Yeah, what's it called gab gabba receptor?

Yeah? So xanax and alcohol work the same way. They like block a receptor, and that's why it uh makes you black out because the way the sometimes sometimes the way your anxiety works in your brain the same routes, the same pathways. I'm not an expert in this but the same pathways for memory control the neu chemicals responsible for anxiety. So what alcohol does is block certain receptors, so you feel less anxiety. But you your memory, your your your short termed long term memory, the way that's converted.

Uh, fucked up, that's the technical term.

Yeah?

Should I snip?

Oh? Yeah, oh well then sure, yeah.

Keep my keep my best deference. Yeah, you can always go back, I know. But that's a lot of chopping and remixing down there. I'll do one chop, but to get un chopped and then chopped again, that's a little bit too much back back, back and forth.

That's how they do down.

So are you from Oregon? Yeah, that's a wild place, is it? Wildbad country? You've seen that show? No, there's a guy named o show. Okay, I know, oh, I know you know that stuff. Oh yeah, and that was when you were a kid.

No, not much.

I thought you had it sweet tooth I do, yeah, but she didn't more like fruit.

Was she intense, No, she was stylish. And is everyone in your family mellow? No, because you're like a mellow guy.

You know, a mellow type of fellow that's laid back.

Oh so the rest of the family's wild. You were the black sheet. You had to mellow out because the rest of the family is nuts. It's a mix it's a mixy, it's a whole Wu Tang clan, truly.
