| 0:00.0 | Hey man. Hi, my little fresh turkey sandwich. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. |
| 0:11.4 | Today's episode is about a man with schizophrenia who's created a kind of schizophrenia simulator, so people that aren't schizophrenic can experience what his world is like. |
| 0:22.4 | I am interested in schizophrenia simulator. I have not personally had schizophrenia, so I'd be |
| 0:30.9 | interested. Is it something that we are positive about? Like this is a good thing that he's doing? |
| 0:36.6 | Yeah, I think it's a really good thing. |
| 0:38.0 | It's, it's, uh, it's sort of an insight into a mental health condition that I think a lot of |
| 0:43.0 | us, uh, don't understand. So I think it's really great. Yeah, well, as we've seen recently, |

| 1:30.2 | feeling like for instance i have no idea what fucked up stuff is happening inside your ears |
| 1:38.6 | you know between your ears at any moment and it's such a leap of empathy to sort of see you as a human being |
| 1:45.1 | and that's just in my personal life and I'm sure you feel the same way |
| 1:50.1 | and so like I think this is a really great thing that he's doing |
| 1:54.5 | hey before you go I had one other question often when I call you every |
