0:00.0	I'm just gonna look over here and start thinking about the character. I'm not gonna put anything on it.
0:03.3	I'm not gonna put anything on it. I'm not gonna weigh till the temperature in the room where I've
0:07.1	eaten or the dishes are out of the sink. I'm just gonna start daydreaming. We all daydream. It's the same
0:12.6	shit.
0:19.9	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger. Today we're talking with my friend Brian Callan.
0:24.4	Look, if you've seen a funny movie in the past decade and a half, you've seen and probably
0:28.6	loved Brian Callan. We'll discuss growing up all over the world and feeling like an outsider and

1:17.9	think maybe should work based on a bunch of books that they read, which is valid in some way.
1:22.2	But if you tested it, it doesn't work. Let it go. That's right. You got to be responsive to the
1:26.2	evidence. There's got to be measurable results. And so I've always been skeptical of all the
1:31.9	psychology, but I have to tell you, when you're married and you're trying to raise kids, I have a
1:36.1	very different culture than my wife. She's like very Germanic and Swedish and I'm very stubborn
