| 0:00.0 | Welcome. I'm Connor Beaton, and this is The Man Talk Show, Training for Men and Answers for Women. |
| 0:18.3 | And joining me today is Gabe Deem. |
| 0:23.4 | He is the founder of Reboot Nation. |
| 0:31.1 | Talks a lot about ending or rebooting your life, your brain, your sex life after porn. |
