0:00.0	All right, Lisa, welcome to the man talk show. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. Connor,
0:11.3	thanks very much for having me. Yeah, thank you so much for agreeing to be on here. I, you know, a couple months ago, I was scrolling through Instagram, as one does these days, generally exhausted.
0:23.7	And like came across one of your videos, and it was during a period where my son had just
0:29.8	started hitting.
0:31.0	He's like three at the time.
0:32.8	And he started to get, you know, classic three-year-old, right?
0:35.8	He's a three-year-old boy.
0:37.1	They have a testosterone spike between three and five. He started to get, you know, classic three-year-old, right? It's a three-year-old boy. They have a testosterone
0:38.1	spike between three and five. He started to get pretty, pretty wild and unruly. And your
0:44.1	video was hilarious because it sounded like my son, but then it also was very counter to what
0:51.9	I see a lot of online, a lot of the parenting advice online,

1:11.9	discussing all this stuff because that's not them, that's us. Adults do that. They're not analyzing everything and it's inappropriate. It's just a, I'm interested. You said there's a testosterone spike at three to five. I'm not a doctor or anything. I've never heard that before. Yeah, boys, boys will go, I mean, I work with men
1:28.2	predominantly, so I know a lot about male biology and psychology, but young boys between
1:33.8	the ages of three and five will go through a kind of like a mini puberty where they'll have
1:38.5	this huge spike in testosterone. And it'll act somewhat similarly to what happens. It's almost like they're going
1:45.7	through a pre-puberty and they'll have a big increase in testosterone. And so a lot of their
1:52.3	behavior, you know, starts to get, they start to get a little bit more wild and reckless and
1:57.0	risk-taking and all the things that we see in young boys that go through puberty.
2:02.8	So, yeah.
