0:00.0	Hey, deserving listeners. As a lot of you know, we will talk about movies and TV shows,
0:04.5	and usually we try to talk about things that relate to psychology, and there isn't a movie that
0:09.4	relates more to psychology, really, than one flew over the cuckoo'sness, which we're going to talk
0:13.3	about today for a lot of reasons. Welcome to the podcast. This is the Psychology Seattle podcast,
0:19.7	and I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and a professor who are you, bro?
0:24.1	My name is Umberto Kasanya, and I sell and trade used baseball cards. Who are you, Colin?
0:29.9	My name is Colin. I'm from Texas, and I design nurse outfits for megalomaniacomaniacs.
0:37.0	For me, I was alive when this came out, but I didn't see it in the theater. I would have been four,
0:41.3	but I remember watching it at home. It must have been like a Sunday night movie or something.

1:28.8	as a young person, I was very big. I was comparatively very large. I was always one of the largest
1:35.1	people in my class, and not just kind of large, but gargantuan compared to the people around me.
1:42.0	People eventually sort of caught up to me, but in my early years, I really identified myself as
1:49.1	kind of like a tall monster like chief. Someone that was very notable for how large and
1:56.5	how domineering it was, but at the same time, not actually violent or wants to hurt anybody,
2:03.4	which is what chief was like. Colin, I know a little bit about your relationship with this movie and
2:10.4	or book. Tell us. I was cast as Billy Bibbit in the Richardson Theatre production of One Flow
