| 0:06.4 | Hey guys, welcome back to We Men with Acme. I'm so excited for today's episode with |
| 0:11.8 | Dray Smith. He is just like a breath of fresh air and has really great |
| 0:17.2 | opinions that he shared with us. So I'm excited for you to hear the episode. And before we get |
| 0:22.8 | into that, there are some great questions that you guys had submitted. So I will go through them |
| 0:29.3 | and answer. Somebody asked, do you have any insight on relationship OCD? I'd be interested |

| 1:27.8 | about your own relationship or your own partner is very normal and everyone experiences them. |
| 1:33.2 | But for OCD sufferers, these thoughts can be irrational, unfounded, and detrimental to day-to-day |
| 1:40.9 | life for them. So essentially how it manifests is like obsessive questioning, research, |
| 1:49.1 | like Googling articles like is my partner right for me all the time? Comparisons, endless |
