| 0:00.0 | all right well i don't know there's no form of intro here so i'll just say welcome to the program |
| 0:09.9 | captain oh sorry sorry sorry major doctor is it doctor major or major doctor which one is it uh well |
| 0:16.9 | it's neither of those two there's not a single human being in the world that caused me a major doctor or doctor major. |
| 0:24.0 | And technically it's major select doctor, Dr. Zickick's. |
| 0:28.3 | Oh, so you're a select doctor. |
| 0:30.4 | Yeah, we're major select. |
| 0:32.6 | It's one of those weird military things where you're selected for their promotion, in my case, to major major but they haven't officially put the rank on you yet. Oh, so you're like, uh, like, you're like limbo period. Okay. It's like a president elect. Same thing, right? It's like you got, you're going to get it, but they haven't actually given it to you yet. That's so weird. Why do they do that? Uh, you know, military things. they got to make you want it, I guess why do they do that uh you know military things they got to make |
| 0:55.9 | you uh wanted i guess so but you already got it right like isn't it basically yours i already got it |

| 1:27.4 | as promised i mean i've been telling people'm like, I am super interested in bringing on listeners to the show who have expressed interest in the past on coming on. |

And we, I only ever heard your voice, like maybe two weeks ago for the first time in the great halls of the cult club, which was kind of surreal, don't you think? I was like, oh, it's so weird to like connect with all these people that listen to the show. Actually, interact back and forth for once. Yeah. God, dude, that's the thing about podcasts, which is so weird. |
| 2:03.8 | And being a, I've said this before, like being a fan of podcasts, um, you feel like |
| 2:09.5 | you know people, but obviously we've never interacted, right? |
| 2:14.0 | We have never talked to each other. |
| 2:15.4 | But, but still there's like a like this base level rapport just because if you listen to someone talk enough, |
