| 0:00.0 | Hey, Deserving listeners, I thought I would answer some emails from patrons and YouTube members. |
| 0:05.8 | This email is from patron and YouTube member, annual patron, annual middle tier patron, |
| 0:11.5 | Madi from Arizona, they say, Hi, Dr. Kirk, there is a guy in my friend group who has repeatedly |
| 0:17.2 | been clinically diagnosed as a sociopath. He has reportedly put himself through a lot of |
