Smerconish EQ caller today for "Dopamine Nation"

[Crawdad]

I know there's a lot of brain rot and conspiracy-addled political talk here, so I imagine maybe one or two of you listen to Michael Smerconish, doubly so since one of you nerds called in today to talk about being addicted to EverQuest. If you don't and enjoy self flagulation/politics, he's a decent break from the wall-to-wall partisan talking heads.

Smerconish: https://www.smerconish.com/ -The interview from today will get loaded to his book club podcast later.

Anyways, he had on Dr. Anna Lempke today to talk about dopamine addiction. If you haven't and have a loved one/loved self addicted to this stuff, give it a listen.

All that to say call-in nerd "Eric", thank you for speaking the sacred words on XM radio today and causing who knows how many people to fall off the wagon (my guess is 3).

Nah just EverQuest, thought some people here would just get a kick. I know I breath out my nose a little harder whenever I hear it mentioned offline.

I get it, he's not on the correct sporting team anymore.
