Welcome, everyone to the R.P. Strength podcast. I'm Nick Shaw, joined by The Man, the Myth, the Legend that is Dr. Mike Isertel. What's up, man?

Hello. Hello. How are you?

Good. I feel masculine today. I've got lumber jacks,

stuff and flannel. People can't see you on video because this is just audio, but do you have a blanket on you right now?

It's a towel. I always wear a towel in my office on my lap because otherwise ejaculate gets everywhere. I'm kidding. The keyboard is a little

bit like so I have to be comfortable when I type. And so this towel is only here to create space

between my keyboard and my abdomen because then the keyboard is pressed firmly in. It doesn't move and it's just far enough

away from my hands for me to really get a good tactile positioning because otherwise the keyboard

is too close where it keeps moving around and I fucking hate it. So that's the only reason I have a

towel down. Kind of looks like blanket from where I'm sitting. But hey, to each of their own,

you do you, sir. And it's actually literally a towel. You can't debate me on what's in my own house, Nick. I identify as a towel. Hey, man, you do you. Am I here to judge? Yeah, well, I wasn't here to ask your permission. Yeah, you don't need my approval. Um, you know what's cool about getting a little bit older. We just kind of stopped giving us as much of a fuck about what other people think. It's kind of nice. Oh my God. It's the best. Yeah. It takes a while, though. Takes a while. And there's still little bit of you. There's still little bits and pieces, of course. Oh, yeah. I was on the Dr. Mike show. I'm not speaking about myself and the third person. The real Dr. Mark. Borshowski, the real Dr. Mark.

Yeah.

And, I was on the Dr. Mike show. I'm not speaking about myself in the third person.

The real Dr.

Mike.

The real Dr. Mark.

And he asked me like how I would speak to a kid or my kid if I had a kid about like

aesthetics and stuff.

And I just kind of wanted to reemphasize I would be like kind of a well spring of insight for the kid potentially and one of those

being like hey like if you ever want to know like in your middle school having a tough time like

none of this matters at all you know what though when you're in it it's really hard to see that

that goes for a lot of things in life yeah you're You're in it. Yeah. Doesn't feel like it's irrelevant. Yes. And that is actually our topic for today. Ooh, I got a good segue though to kick it off though. So you mentioned Dr. Mike. The episode's live. It's been live for what a week and a half now, something like that. Folks, go check that out.
