You guys read these funny, funny, doofy little fucking Andrew Tate books. Yeah. Right? Of what it is to be a masculine man. It's the saddest, sorriest thing ever. You know why it worked for those other guys online guys? They're fucking rich. Yeah. You're just a poor douche. And I would like look around and I see people just like into their studies and I'm like, Why the f*** can I do this? And I this is as a kid, I'm like I'm dumb. Like I'm stupid. I'm a stupid person. I can't do this. I remember my mom caught me once like having a book and I was like smashing it over my head. My mom was like, what are you doing? I can't do this. Like I can't sit here because I felt so fucking stupid As a 8 year old taking a book and hitting in his head

What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Genius Brain podcast. Hope you have been liking this new space.

1:07.9

This is a spot that I found. I absolutely love it. I think it looks fantastic. It looked great. It looked great. I decided to put a little effort into the edits first time in a very long time. And I think like, you know, it's weird. Like when I, you know, when I was putting out these podcast episodes early on, it was just like, just get the content out. Like I didn't really focus on the pod. And I think like I just been kind of going through this thing where, like,

1:31.9

you know, we talked about it on a previous podcast. I don't think it actually went up, but it was just,

1:35.6

um, or yet. But it's just like kind of creating like really good habits. And so I was like,

1:41.5

okay, let me just sit here and then actually give a shit. Like if I wanted to watch a podcast, what would make it interesting. And so I edited it the way that I would want to see it. Let me tell you something. That shit took a lot longer that thought I was going to do. That I remembered why I stopped doing it. Did you have the itchy anxiety? Dude, I had a get-up. I did like 20 pushups. I stopped. I got some to eat, came back, and the edit took a lot longer than it should have. If I would have sat there and just took my Adderall, I think I would have got done within like an hour and a half. Man, I get jealous of people who are on Adderall and then they get shit done. When I'm on Adorol, I just, everything gets more heightened. And so

2:18.6

the anxiety I had before is like a panic attack. Yeah. Well, it's crazy too, because I think for the

2:25.3

longest time, you know, I joked about this, but before I got diagnosed with ADHD, I don't, I don't know,

2:33.9

it feels weird to say this. I don't like getting diagnosed with shit. Right. You know what? And it's not because I'm scared. It's more a fact that I don't want to use things as a crutch. Right. Always. And I think that I have, and I think most humans have this thing to want to blame something else rather than figuring it out yourself, right? And it got to that point for me where, you know, when Tim got diagnosed with ADHD, and I'm like, oh, this motherfucker got the same habits. I do. I do. I have ADHD? And then he recommended this thing where it was during COVID, where, you know, getting in-person doctor visits were like next to none or you really couldn't. You could get diagnosed, meet a doctor online,

3:09.4

and they could talk to you and you can get diagnosed. Tim's story is pretty funny, but mine's was kind of similar where I was so adamant that I didn't have it that I was describing to the doctor. I was like, they're like, okay, so why don't you think you have it? And I was like, well, well because because from what I know about ADHD is for people who can't really focus. It's like, but me, when I really, really like something, that's all I care about. Everything is muted and I'll do that until it gets done and everything else, it doesn't matter. She goes, that is definitively ADHD. I was like, what do you mean? And then she was kind of describing what it was, describing my thing.

3:41.7

And then it's like, oh, fuck, I might have this, right?

3:44.8

And so when I got prescribed Adderall, I was really apprehensive about it.

3:50.4

But, you know, the cool thing about the stock that I was talking to was like, well, you know, seemingly from what you do, you've been able to figure out a way for you to be, you know, functioning without it, right? And you do seem to have gotten a lot of things done. And they're like, well, what would be a reason for you to want to take out a roll? I was like, oh, I don't want to take out a roll. Like, I'm pretty adamant that I don't have it. But since you've been saying that I do have these signs that I might have ADHD, I just wanna know what it feels like to be able to focus.

4:16.6

Like, focusing is hard for me. been saying that I do have these signs that I might have ADHD. I just want to know what it

4:14.4

feels like to be able to focus. Like focusing is hard for me. Yeah. Like it's a fucking task. And,
