| 0:00.0 | Hey Deservant, Listeners, I got a lot of emails about narcissism, so I thought I would answer your questions. |
| 0:05.7 | I also just now put out a call on discord in the Facebook fan page asking people to submit their questions on narcissism. |

| 1:21.4 | research on it, they'll start writing dissertations about it, |
