| 0:00.0 | believe in the ripple fact |
| 0:25.6 | The ripple fact I'm a lot of the What's up? Another episode Ripple Effect podcast. Wow, I already fucked up. |
| 1:10.0 | Another episode of the Ripple Effect podcast with your host, Ricardo Verendez, because |
| 1:14.5 | it just sounds better when I say it that way. |
| 1:16.3 | Today we have Christopher Ryan's, Dr. Christopher Ryan's. |
| 1:19.4 | I am so excited to have him on. |
| 1:20.9 | I've been a fan of his for so long. |
| 1:23.8 | I've had his book for a long time, Sex of Dawn, which is a really interesting book about the history of monogamy and if it's natural, if it isn't. |
| 1:34.4 | And a lot of just stuff about relationships that all the debates about what is natural, what isn't. |
| 1:41.2 | And the subtitle is how we mate, why we stray, and what it means for the modern relationship, which kind of puts in perspective what the book's about. And he also has a new book that he's in the process of writing called Civilize a Death, which is an awesome book.

| 2:26.8 | Like I said, we talk about it on the show, so I won't talk too much about it now. |
| 2:31.2 | But tangentially speaking, it's one of my favorite podcasts. |
| 2:35.2 | It's one of my go-to podcasts. It's honestly one of the few ones that I listen to almost on a regular basis. |
| 2:41.2 | So I subscribe to a lot of podcasts. So there's only a handful of them that I have the time to |
| 2:46.3 | listen to on a regular basis. So his is definitely one of them. So definitely check that out too. |
| 2:50.9 | Obviously, it's available everywhere. |
| 2:52.9 | Podcasts are available. |
| 2:55.2 | This is one of the reasons I love this show and I get to meet people that I'm a fan of. |
| 3:00.1 | And even if it makes me nervous and makes me go on long rants right in the beginning of the interview, which I did on this podcast. |
