It's the chronology that I think gets so screwed up and the quantity of how much you see on the internet growing up on the internet as a kid.

Any unhealthy relationship that young people and just people in general seem to have with this is part of a larger story where we're in this dopamine casino, whether it's the dating apps which we've talked about and what that does the randomness

of that, to the pornography people are watching, to TikTok, to Instagram, to Facebook, to Twitter.

Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. Well,

Ricky, welcome back. Thank you. Your jaw seems to be in better shape. It's functioning.

You want to tell the audience? You don't tell the audience what happened last week. This seems like a

particularly difficult ailment to deal with as a podcast host. It's a little bizarre, but yeah, my jaw, like, physically locked shut.

Like, I couldn't open it more than, like, a couple centimeters and not the most comfortable

thing to have happen, but it's since unlocked a lot of muscle relaxants and electrodes shocking my jaw muscles

and the whole nine yards.

So kind of a long term weird thing.

Where do these electrodes come from?

Do you have to go into the doctor?

Yeah, if you go to the doctor

and they put them on like your temples

and your like kind of jaw muscles at the bottom

and then it like stimulates them and

makes them like like release I don't know the whole thing is really bizarre and it's um going to be

kind of a long term thing for me but fortunately I'm nipping it in the bud now and I can open my

mouth which is huge but a lot of soup for me I was half expecting you to I don't know if you'll get this reference, which every time I say that, you don't get the reference, but I was half expecting a Kanye through the wire moment for you last week. Do you get that reference? I have no idea what that means. This is amazing to me because I feel like you're going to hate this characterization, but I feel like

you're somewhat sympathetic to Kanye, but I feel like you missed his like critical, like early

amazing version of him in his first few albums. But well, okay, Ricky, glad you're better.
