I'm about to play you a hilarious clip from one of their

first episodes. You can find staying alive in the Sirius XM app, Pandora, or wherever you get your podcasts. What makes the turn to professional use? Right. Like, when do you go like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to give it to a patient. I'm going to give it to myself. Right. So this happened over COVID. You know, someone approached me, someone I met in that world, said, hey, I'm going to open up a psychedelic wellness center. I need a doctor just to help administer it, you know, and to make sure we're doing it in a safe way. So I joined the center, and I started doing it. I only did it part time. I was still working doing the Goldman thing. I

still had my own private practice. And then I saw how well it was working much better than I expected. For these people who came in with. with severe mental health. And they come in and they'd be like, oh my God, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I am keyed up and I have a bunch of business ideas.

And you're like, slow down, you need ketamine. Yes, exactly. Walk it into the chair. And then we, so we do, and we did it in these protocol. And I saw how people were,

I mean, you saw someone walk in and walk out in, I mean, a different person. Different person. I've heard this from my friends who've done the ketamine therapy. Now that is one drug

that I've only done once, and it was, you know, setting was like motel room. It's very different. It's a completely different truck. I did it by accident once and like almost went blind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cahole.

Is that what it's called? Like, for real? You know, when you do ketamine, you know, people snorted up their nose on a dance floor in the middle of, you know, in a club or something. Yeah. And you do too much. You go into sort of a very immersive experience. And it's a little weird, you know. Let's just say I thought it was going to be a digest thief.

Yeah. And I didn't realize what I was doing. And I ended up being like, this feels weird. Why am I seeing everything on a slant? Oh my God, I'm blind. Yeah. My one experience was like, I don't want to do Coke. No, thank you.

It's not Coke. It's ketamine. I was like, I don't want to do this again. I did it. I know I did it wrong. I feel like I did it. That was the only time I did it and I have never even thought about it again. It's very different.

It's a completely different drug when you do it in small amounts and when you do it through the IV. Completely different situation. When you do it with an IV and, you know, with an IV. with doctors and therapists seeing you before and afterwards. And you put an eye mask on, you put some nice music. We have a 12 different playlist. I have to do this. It's called synesthesia. We actually see the music.

It's really, really unusual. That's what Farrell has, right? It's a deep thing. Pharrell has that all the time. Sinitasia, some people do have that. Yeah, so people have that as like a full-blown. Or some people can like smell colors and stuff like that. I feel like I have that way.

But under the influence of these psychedelics, you do. That's what happens. It's sort of, it decouples the way the brain functions, the way the brain processes. things. It opens things up. See, and it's all about seeing things from another perspective, seeing music from another perspective, rather than just hearing it. Hell yeah. And you take that into your life and you start to see things and hear things from another perspective. So, so you, are you into fish or the dead? What are you like?

It's pretty boring. What kind of music do you guys are? I'm a pretty boring gay. I used to be more exciting. Yeah, you sound like a boring gay, mushroom doctor. You sound real work. We don't do mushrooms. I'm getting around. But if you do have any. Explore health and wellness with the good kind of Jim Bros. Staying alive with John Gaborson, Adam Pally.
