Sup Sigmas. Get your skibbity toilets ready and put on that sweet Ohio rizz. Go get your middle-schooler and they'll tell you how cool I am. Or that I don't know what I'm talking about. Fanum Tax.

On today's episode, we talk about mental health trends and how they lead us to believe in quick fixes. Look, Rob doesn't believe in them, but he's trying to stay open to the possibility that maybe there are some? Or maybe we just have to be cool with work and taking a quick hit, then using that to fuel the work. I don't know. You listen. Especially to Matt, cause it sounds like he falls down a well at some point. Technology, am I right?
