| 0:00.0 | So, Berto, I'm guessing you're not the sort of person who experiences this, but do you have any |
| 0:05.5 | social anxiety, like when you go to a party and you enter that zone where you just have to riff, |
| 0:12.5 | you know, socially? There's no script to it. There's no protocol. You just have to react as things |
| 0:18.9 | happen. Do you ever get nervous or worried or anxious about situations |
| 0:23.7 | like that? Man, why are you putting me on the spot like this? Okay, so actually, it's funny you |

| 1:28.6 | sometimes go like, you're so quiet today, Baredo, what's going on? And then I'll have to |
| 1:33.2 | pretend a little bit. Like, ah, you know, just the soccer's game, Sonics. And then from there, |
| 1:39.8 | I might get a little more in the mood. Yeah. Well, today I want to talk about social anxiety, primarily because a patron asked us to talk about it. |
