| 0:00.0 | Everyone ever? |
| 0:01.0 | Yeah. So I didn't know that I was, that I have bipolar disorder, for sure, until I guess... Listen, I don't care about being sober. Not the point. Everyone was doing cocaine. Like, I had to become a different person in my speed. I had to grow. So do. We both did. Well, yeah, we know about you. He started to watch Eddie wash his hands. It was so weird and you go just one. That's enough. |
| 0:24.0 | Just one. And I'm like, you're being ridiculous. You're the worst gold digger of all time because all you get me for is four to death. Yeah. Maybe a new house and stuff like that I thought. |
| 0:51.1 | I thought we do a little something different, you know? |
| 0:55.0 | Every time I stream or we got the blogs going on, Amanda shows up in there a little bit and people are like, more Amanda, more Amanda. Here we go. We got more |
| 0:59.5 | Amanda. We're doing some of them. So first things, first, what's going on here? What is, what are we doing |
| 1:05.3 | exactly? First of all, welcome to the mania podcast. Okay. I'm Amanda Negrono. This is Daniel. Everyone knows who he is. I think we're calling it mania, and I hope people don't get offended by it. I don't care really. What do you care? What since when you hear about being offended? Do you remember how people got offended by like some manic, something that Beyonce said in her song? She said something about spazzing out. Well, that's not even that bad. She said something about spazzing out. And then supposedly people that have multiple sclerosis or something, we're all just going to know that age. So mania has a lot to do with bipolar disorder, which I have. And so I'm allowed to say it. All right. Oh, is that like the N word for people? Oh, my God. I mean that you're because you are one, you get to say, Mania. Here we go. What? |
| 1:46.2 | Here we go. |
| 1:47.2 | What? |
| 1:47.7 | Here we go. |
| 1:48.9 | Is that a thing? Oh, no, I'm allowed to say mania because I'm bipolar. I don't know. It just feels like it's fine. Okay. So anyway, I think like some people probably don't even know exactly what the hell bipolar is. |
| 1:59.8 | They think mania. |
| 2:00.5 | They think what like that manic, mania. |
| 2:02.9 | Yeah, same thing. |
| 2:03.6 | So. People probably don't even know exactly what the hell bipolar is. They think mania. They think what is that manic, maniac, mania. |
| 2:02.8 | Yeah, same thing. |
| 2:04.0 | So when you are in a manic episode, you're on the high, right? |
| 2:09.4 | On the high end. |
| 2:10.6 | And then sometimes you're depressed and you're on the low end. |
| 2:13.8 | That's why I think the word manic depressive is a better term for what it is. And that's what it used to be. And like the DSM in the book of all the mental disorders used to be called manic depressive. And now they change it to bipolar, which I don't think makes as much sense. It's probably they're trying to clean it up. Maybe. You know, because you think of mania and people think of like maniac. |
| 2:36.1 | Oh, you're a maniac, you know, like is it offensive. That's what I mean? |
| 2:37.6 | Like the word mania is a, you know, function of the word. I like the word. So maybe bipolar is more like a clinical thing. But people use bipolar in the wrong way. They're like, oh, the weather is bipolar today. I hate that. Who says... |
