| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 799, a best of episode with Haydn. |
| 0:05.9 | Not the, not the musician. |
| 0:08.4 | This episode originally aired in 2015, and I don't know if we've ever done an episode like this. |
| 0:17.1 | We've talked about bipolar one psychosis before, but we've never had a partner sit in. |
| 0:25.7 | Actually, I take that back. I think there might have been one other one that we did at a live |

| 1:26.4 | What do I need to tell you before we start rolling this one? |
| 1:34.5 | I guess just an update. Those of you that are regular listeners know that I've been really |
| 1:39.8 | kind of struggling mentally lately. I'm still doing the pelvic floor therapy and it's, I think it's |
| 1:51.0 | going well. |
| 1:52.5 | I usually know that like when I come home from therapy, whether it's talk therapy or some |
| 1:57.5 | type of somatic therapy, when I go and sleep a lot, that's usually a good sign |
