0:00.0	Welcome to episode 456 with my guest, Oran J. Sofer. I'm Paul Gilmarten. This is the
0:07.6	metal illness. Happy hour. I am not a therapist and this is not meant to be a substitute for
0:13.4	professional metal counseling. And listen to this for a minute and I think that will become
0:18.2	very obvious. The website for this show is metalpod.com. Metalpod also the social media handles
0:25.4	that you can follow. Follow us at I want to read some loves. This is from the loves survey.
0:33.8	And oh, before I do that, we have a winner for the cutting board that I made. The number that I chose
0:41.3	was 339 and the closest guest was 338 by a Patreon donor named John Mitchell. A nice English
0:50.6	fellow. So I will be shipping him. I'm going to ship it up by the Queen Mary though. So he
0:57.8	should be getting that in about three months. And I'm going to ship it in the care of a couple that

1:44.8	into place to allow the mind to see the bigger picture like a puzzle. The trumpets of aha that
1:52.2	the trumpets out a moment. I suppose Epiphanie's question mark, it does not have to be mental health
1:59.4	understandings, but also in learning a new hobby task or job, even the understanding of a person
2:05.8	or oneself, the click of that connection of a logical understanding has been made and then things
2:13.2	suddenly make sense. Oh, I have goosebumps. I love that one. I love that. That is such
2:23.1	such a great feeling that reprieve of just having a minute of not telling yourself I'm an idiot.
2:32.2	This is an email I got from a person, a ye man and they write hello. I got connected to you
