It's so weird, Ed. It's so weird. He just disappeared. It's almost as though he doesn't

exist anymore because he's not on the internet. This is We Have Concerned. Hi, Jeff Kanata.

Hi, Anthony Carbony. Hello, Concerned Citizens. Jeff, are you a creature of habit? Would you say very much so? Yes, I love my routine. I

I I'm the same as somebody who with with the ADHD and the anxiety and all the other things. If I don't have a routine, I spiral. I'm like a dog. I'm like, I'm like a pet. You know what I mean? It's like, no, now is time for walkies. That sort of

the way my brain is. It's like, no, if we don't get up now. And the problem with ADHD brain is if you don't follow your routine, you've decided that you can't do anything. So like this didn't happen at one o'clock. So now I guess I'm not doing anything until tomorrow.

Man, my diagnosis continues, I guess. Do you have that two or it's like, well, or like, well, I was supposed to go to the gym at 10 and then do this at 11 and then do this at noon. But now I have a meeting from 10 30 to 11 30. So I guess I'm not doing any of them. Yes, it is not. Oh, I guess I'll do the gym at 3. I can't do the gym today because the 10 was 10 o'clock was the gym time. That's it.

So I can't do that. So I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow. I feel I swear I feel like rain man. I feel like I feel like I'm I feel like I'm Dustin Hoffman and Rainman stuck in my own brain and I can see it happening. I am both. I'm both Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. I am both Rainman and the guy going Rainman. What are you doing? I think that's Rainman's man. That's yeah, that's that's Rainman's man is what was his name. But the thing is habits.

Even for people like us who admit that we are creatures of habit, we have no idea how much habits actually influence everything we do from day to day. We're all intense creatures of habit.

This is a new study from USC right down the street. That talks about the influence of habits on our day to day lives and how intensely they actually influence us.

With the example of drinking coffee. Right. Yeah. The habit of all habits. Well, someone would say heroin. I guess that would be the habit of all habits. That would be the habit of all habits. I think I'm not as you know, not a coffee drinker never have been. Right. But I definitely I literally my mom is here this week. Stay in, stay in with the house. Say how do you want for me? I will. And she.

She this morning I said, Hey, mom can I make you some breakfast and she said I got to have my coffee first. Yes. And I was you know, I get it. I get it. I see that it's it is that habit for folks that are into coffee. Yeah. And I I was as you know, a very ritualistic coffee drinker. I am now. I'm now I think a little over two months. No caffeine. Yes. Because the the doctor was just like, Hey, give it a shot.

I was like, Nads, you remember we've had this discussion. Yes. It's my only thing. Yes. It's my only thing. So let me have it shut up. No, and I was like, and I only really have like a cup of day now. I used to drink coffee. I used to drink so much coffee. And I get that from my I get that from my mom.

Who who is very much the person who's like, I'm not doing anything this morning until we get coffee and it needs to be nice coffee. Although her idea of nice coffee is trash.

I love my mother, but she has terrible. She's trash. I love my mother, but she's trash.

It's every mother's day.

Happy mother's day. I love you, but you're trash. And listen, I don't love you despite the fact that you're trash. I find the fact that you're trash and dear.

Because you're my mom. So I got it from my mother who also is undiagnosed ADHD and caffeine is a very much a self medication thing for people with ADHD.

But I've been without it for two months, but I'll tell you what, Jeff, I still have coffee just about every day.

I still walk to the coffee shop and get a decaf latte. That's ridiculous. Yeah, with substitute milk. That means I'm getting a nothing with nothing.

Decaf coffee with oat milk. I am getting nothing.

Yeah.

And I'm paying five and a half dollars for it. I said one, one nothing I want, please.
