| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today's episode is the first chapter in a deep dive into narcissistic |
| 0:07.3 | personality disorder, psychopathic personality disorder, lack of empathy, abuse in dating relationships |
| 0:15.8 | and otherwise, and other related topics and constructs and psychology. |
| 0:22.3 | So what I am going to be doing in this episode and this series of episodes is I'm actually |
| 0:28.8 | co-opting some videos that I published on YouTube. |
| 0:34.2 | I react to Love is Blind on you. |

| 1:43.6 | Now, I can never know what's happening with these people because it's |
| 1:46.4 | just an edited reality TV show. But of reality TV shows, I find that love is blind, |
| 1:50.6 | in particular, at the very least seems to present real stuff that's happening. Sometimes, you know, |
| 1:57.5 | it seems a little manufactured or edited funny, but, you know, these are real people that are really trying to find the love of their life. |
