Hello and welcome to Dopey. The podcast about drugs, addiction and dumb shit. I'm Dave.

I'm Chris. Oh, this is so bad. Hello everybody. This week Chris is in Great

Barrington and I'm in my childhood bedroom and we can't even Skype so we're

like on the phone. My Skype connection is kept timing out and now we're used

called tapering call which is some app that I had on my phone so the free

plug for whoever makes tapering call. Why do you have that app? Did I interview

this guy named Jim Probys or something? When I remember I used to I wrote a couple

articles for that concussion company for the chronic traumatic and cephalopathy.

I'd interview people who had CTE or whose like friends or family members had CTE

and I'd write articles about it for them and so I had to interview this guy and I

wrote tape his phone calls so I could like go through it and I put direct quotes

and the article and stuff. I don't remember that at all. It was me trying to get a

research assistant job so I could beef up my resume and potentially apply to

PhD programs. I did it way too late. It wasn't research oriented. The company did

no research and they just gave me some like stupid thing that's not worth

mentioning. Well you mentioned a lot about it already. So tell me more about CTE.

It's an aggregation of the protein tau in certain areas of the brain and that's

the same protein in different areas that's associated with Alzheimer's.

Yes I'm curious what is CTE stand for? I told you chronic traumatic and cephalopathy.

What is exactly in cephalopathy? It's an aggregation of the protein tau in certain areas of the brain.

What's cow? I don't know. It's some protein that like fucks up your neurons or something.

I don't really get it. It's like being punch drunk. It's the new thing that's going on in the NFL
