Hi everybody. Welcome to the Fundamentalist's podcast. Here we go.

We're looking at the camera now. Yeah, in that fantasy, it takes one video and we realize that

there's a camera involved. This is a

podcast, folks, if you're not familiar with it. My name is Elliot Morgan. This is my good friend

Peter Rollins. He is a philosopher from Northern Ireland, and I am not. And we talk about all sorts

of things on this podcast. If you're new, there's a whole back catalog that you can subscribe to

on iTunes.

Peter has a Patreon as well, patreon.com slash Peter Rollins, where you can watch this sometimes as a live stream, but you definitely posted earlier, all that fun stuff, and you do all sorts of

seminars and all sorts of talks and all sorts of brainy stuff. And I sometimes like brainy stuff, but today we are switching it up a little bit

because I'm quote unquote taking the lead on this. So the way it normally works is I say hi

and then you say something really smart and then I say a bunch of dumb stuff and then we go back

and forth. Well, we're going to start with of dumb stuff, and then we go back and forth.

Well, we're going to start with the dumb stuff, or the dumb person, I guess, isn't dumb stuff.

So here's what we're going to talk about.

A little bit about the idea or the concept of addiction.

Okay.

And then we're going to talk about hypnosis.

Okay, wow. Yes. Do you have thoughts on that?

Yeah, I'm sure. Great. Get ready. I'm just basically me leading. It just means I'm going to put a bunch of stuff on you that you have to kind of think of really quick. And yeah, so basically here's the backstory for this. So I'm doing dry January right now um and i'm i love it i think it's the

most it's great it's better i feel like i spent the holidays um just going crazy and so a lot of folks

that i've heard when they're doing dry January are very like they hate it and

they're like, I just can't wait.
