Decision making or neurological decision making apparatus evolved to assume that decisions were all really important.

They were about starvation and survival and reproduction.

And so now we're using that same brain to make decisions about, well, do I want the pad tire the pad see you let it out Let it go.

Hi, welcome back.

You're listening to Let It Out, a podcast hosted by me, Katie Dailbout.

This week, I'm talking to Adam Strauss. He's a comedian and an actor

in New York City, a writer, really cool dude. I met at his show, The Mushroom Cure, which we

talk about several times during this episode. It was very serendipitous because it was on my block

near my apartment apartment basically underneath my

apartment which we talk about and I went to on a whim and I related so much I ended up seeing the show

twice I saw the last show he did in New York City where we did a talk back after but we recorded

this conversation between the two times I saw his show just before Christmas and talked about some

new stuff that he's working on, a lot about mental health, not feeling good enough, OCD,

anxiety, indecision, comedy, psychedelics. It's a long one, but it's a fascinating one. And I'm really

happy I recorded this with Adam and that I met Adam and I'm excited for you guys to hear it.

Before we get to the episode, quickly, I just want to tell you a couple announcements.

Again, keeping these short because the episode itself is very long. But I'm going to be doing likes and learns again.

A couple of you asked, I just forgot the last couple episodes, so at the end of this episode,

stick around, I'll tell you one thing I'm liking, one thing I'm learning.

And last week's Valentine's Day special, thank you for all of your kind notes and feedback.

That meant so much to me. My heart was, is in a really tender spot and your support as my friends was really sweet and lovely and I appreciate it. That's that. And if you want to start a podcast, I've been getting a lot of messages about how do you start a podcast?

What microphone do you use?
