Well, looks like there's a slight change of plan.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is miserable for February 8th, 2024.

My name is Bernie Burns with me sitting right over there.

Don't you dare track her private jet usage or she will sue the crap out of you.

Miss Ashley Burns.

How are you doing?

Hey, you should see my carbon footprint.

What's up?

You make it sound so sexy.

You make it sound so unsexy.

How did you make an unsexy thing sound even more or less sexy?

I want to start off talking about trigger warnings today, okay? I know a lot of people when

they hear the word trigger warnings, they get upset and they get triggered by the word

triggered or trigger warnings. I actually believe in trigger warnings because I think we've got them

on tons of stuff. I think we've got them on movies, you know, TV series, things like that. You mean like when you're watching Game of Thrones and you look at the, like, it's like, you know, rated M up in the corner as the episode starts and it doesn't say nudity. And you're like, oh, man. I don't get concerned or triggered by trigger warnings. I do think you should put out there,

give people the freedom to determine whether or not they want to partake in something. The thing that

upsets me about it is when people who are going to be triggered by something get the warning and they

decide, I'm going to consume this anyway and get upset by it. That's the only thing that upsets

me about trigger warnings. So that being said, trigger warning for today's episode. Uh-oh. I'm going to talk about something that objectively is going to make you dumber by the time we're done with this. So you don't have to listen to this podcast today. You can just go about your day. The smart person that you woke up being, sure, you're

probably a little bit low, maybe need some coffee, something like that. I'm just, I'm warning you right now. You're going to be dumber. Okay, great. Can I leave? I don't have enough brain, I don't have enough brain cells to lose. Okay. So this is the algorithm at work here. Or maybe it's just me like opening doors that I shouldn't open but now because I have spent so much of this week
