Mitchell
Back in the saddle for episode thirty-four. I’m here with my lovely wife.

Scarlet
I made that noise because Mitchell almost spilled his drink.

Mitchell
Yeah. Will it be in the final cut? We won’t know. We won’t know that till the final cut comes out. Yeah, I know. It’s just a lot going on. I mean It’s it is called doing the most. And we do the most in so many wonderful ways. I’m doing the most I have yet to record the whole like how the studio gets set up, you know, because you’re always like, Oh, you should record a time lapse of that so People can see everything that I do in here to make it is this wonderful thing. And if you’re listening to this, you can go to YouTube and watch this. There’s a video recording of this show It may or may not be exciting. Who knows? Um something exciting happening outside the studio. Do you want to report on that right now

Scarlet
Oh, your son just got home.

Mitchell
Okay. Sorry. That was a I you were distracted. You were focused back for episode thirty floor.

Scarlet
He was carrying an apron.

Mitchell
Oh I was have a job.

Scarlet
Confused. I I was like, what is it?

Mitchell
He’s been make hired, if you know what I mean, right? And he’s make working, but not today.

Scarlet
I think goodness

Mitchell
Whether he’s working or not today.

Scarlet
Oh that he’s working.

Mitchell
Well yes. I mean wow.

Scarlet
But do you it’s been three years coming.

Mitchell
I wow. He’s sixteen. I mean I okay, whoa, we’re not going on this. That’s not on my notes. Not on my notes. I’m double checking the notes. Don’t involve that. Okay. Moving on. Uh olipop, raspberry sherbet. There’s no R in Sherbet. Well there is. There’s not two R’s in Sherbert. Sherbet, how do you say it? I’m not gonna say now. Oh hey, I want some rainbow.

Scarlet
Sherbert.

Mitchell
Yeah.

Scarlet
It’s Sherbet? Rainbow Sherbet?

Mitchell
Everything’s wrong. Everyone since they’re a kid calls it Sherbert. And then when you actually are an adult and you go, Well there’s no o there’s an only there’s okay there’s one R not two.

Scarlet
Are you sure Yeah

Mitchell
Well you’re gonna look it up. There’s probably like acceptable pronunciate mispronunciations are Sherbert. Sherbert and Ernie Sherbet Sherbet. Oh no. I love Sherbet.

Scarlet
Orange Sherbet Ice Cream.

Mitchell
But is it should it actually be more like Sherbet? Like Sorbet? I don’t know. But yeah, no, I mean as a kid I called it Rainbow Sherbert. Which did we ever talk about this on the show? I like like Rainbow Sherbert.

Scarlet
No, I don’t recall.

Mitchell
I I always feel like I have to do this. I love you mother, because if she’s listening Well growing up we had it was common for us in our household to have uh like rainbow sherbet or orange sherbet in the refrigerator. And in a weird way We t oh it was I swear to talk to someone about sherbet recently because it’s like the amount of milk product in a pr is what makes it sherbet, right? It’s less than ice cream.

Scarlet
Less milk, yeah.

Mitchell
And what’s sorbet?

Scarlet
No milk.

Mitchell
Right, yeah. That’s just fruit juice in like so sorbet, sherbet, ice cream or ice milk, as we were probably having as a kid, you know, the kind that didn’t really, you know, it was like whatever. So but we always had sherbet, which is kind of a I have never as an adult craved sherbet. I’ve never once been somewhere like, Yeah, I could really go for some orange sherbet. I feel like now I gotta say Sherbert, just so you know what I mean.

Scarlet
I know what you mean. Yeah.

Mitchell
Aren’t Sherbert.

Scarlet
I’m just like sad I’ve been saying it wrong my whole life.

Mitchell
Most people have. And if you’re listening to the show, you might just be finding out about this, which is It’s quite all right. Most adults will die having thought it was Sherbert. Anyway, um, so I’m gonna take a drink of this raspberry sherbet, and you can just watch me. Or tell me about What’s the latest in your life?

Scarlet
Oh well growing up my mom would often mispronounce things.

Mitchell
Oh.

Scarlet
Also not growing up, just all the time.

Mitchell
Yeah. She still does.

Scarlet
And one of the things that Would drive me crazy is yogurt. Oh. And how can you mispronounce yogurt? Right?

Mitchell
Yogurt? Oh.

Scarlet
She would say yogurt.

Mitchell
I’ve heard her say that.

Scarlet
I know.

Mitchell
Oof. Oof So just jumbling the letters.

Scarlet
Yeah.

Mitchell
Yogurt.

Scarlet
Yeah.

Mitchell
Yeah. Now have you ever looked up to see if that’s acceptable? Because every now and then someone will say that. Unacceptable. Well, you know, every now and then I will check out something and I’ll be surprised that, oh, okay, that’s totally okay. Like, this is something I’m making up totally. Because at one point You know, kids kids will not say library, what will they say?

Scarlet
Library.

Mitchell
Right. And at some point I remember think I thought I looked it up and it was acceptable to say library, right But then when I recently checked I did not find library is acceptable for library. Uh in a pronunciation. So I think I So that was one I thought I discovered at some point in my past and then discovered that I misdiscovered. Or they changed. I don’t know. You know, language does change. We don’t talk about that. Language well we you and I don’t. But it does, right? Um what’s an you know, I have sorry, this was not on the agenda, the hidden agenda. But I do not like I have a big issue with certain things that people say

Scarlet
Oh, I have one.

Mitchell
What is it?

Scarlet
Well this is a work-related one.

Mitchell
Yeah, go for it. Oh. Is it a medication?

Scarlet
Yes.

Mitchell
Does it begin with an M? Yes. And do they add extra R’s or something?

Scarlet
Metroprolol.

Mitchell
Oh my goodness, yeah.

Scarlet
Even patients. What are you doing?

Mitchell
Metroprololol.

Scarlet
It’s not that hard.

Mitchell
Metropolol.

Scarlet
I I’ll give you some like I will occasionally pick up a medication I’ve never given before and I will be like and here’s this one.

Mitchell
Yeah Yeah. I if I sometimes I’ll try to look up the trade name.

Scarlet
And I’m like, why are there so many consonants?

Mitchell
Yeah, some of them I so what someone wants to do.

Scarlet
We don’t speak Russian?

Mitchell
Speak for yourself. Uchinploha.

Scarlet
Okay.

Mitchell
Steady it’s a good idea. Except for Alex and Slava. Well, I did see uh operation Odessa. Pin that for later. Later as in never. So Um what I was gonna say though was that um well yeah, there’s some medications uh someone told me once that if you start you you start backwards. Maybe we pick this up a duke. Like so you start with the last syllable and it’s like I’d and then you add the next and you go one more syllable like and then do an eyed and then like go one more back. You know uh primide or meta you know like you work through and then by the time you get to front then you usually have the right word because it’s easier to to keep at and some of these have like five or six syllables people If you’re not in the medical field. So, you know, it’s like oh now as far as like Vizakizaloza Mab and all that we already had that, but like those Just give up hope right now, right? Just go with Skyrizzy or you know whatever the magical name is in Tivio. But um yeah, some of there is a few that um like in Pegla Flosen I worked on that one. That one took me a while. So megalotide took a while to get that one down.

Scarlet
I mean, how do you say you gonna spell it for me Okay.

Mitchell
You can.

Scarlet
Well, now I have to like C-E-F-A-Z-O-S-C-O-S-C-O-S-C-O-S-C-O-S-C-O-S-C-O-S

Mitchell
How do you s Well you can’t. How do you say that one? If you were spelling, but you got it wrong.

Scarlet
Okay, I know.

Mitchell
I’m like, I’m sitting here, I’m like, okay, uh, I feel like I actually need to write it out because I’m not a visual speller per se. I’m not being critical of that. Cep triaxone.

Scarlet
Oh no, that’s not what I was that’s the wrong one.

Mitchell
Oh I’m sorry, no no I was spelling it right. So if we were in a hearing contest, I lost. Yeah. If that exists. Um well now I’m gonna screw it up. I wanna I w always wanna go cephazolin, I believe is what people prefer. But I used to always call it cephazolin. No No no I don’t like that.

Scarlet
Stop it.

Mitchell
I switched to cephazolin.

Scarlet
Okay.

Mitchell
Now when in thou I go to the I try to find an ad on YouTube or somewhere from the manufacturer Did I say manufacture? Manufacturer? You can do manufacture or manufacturer. Right. That’s what we do. And I will look to see how they say it. That’s usually my go-to if I’m really confused. But like, yeah, cephizolin Um, yeah, sorry about the ceftrioxone mix up there. I will do sulfomethoxal trimethroprim as opposed to bactra bactrim or ceftrop. I like that one, but there’s a few that are still like Um I is so it’s it’s the it’s a medication that has like caffeine, it’s for headaches, like sac sacubitrol or I don’t know, saccubitrol. That one? Yeah I’m sorry. I know, I know I’ve seen a lot I think it’s sucky suck you bitch sub-control? Sorry, that sounds like offensive language all of a sudden. I don’t know. I don’t even know if I I’d have to see it again. I don’t even know I got the right one. But you know what I’m talking about?

Scarlet
And there was one I was giving my patient the other day that was for like um essential tremors and He was I read it to him. I tried to read it to him. It was really hard for me. It was one where I was like, ooh, okay, here we go. And I was like, why am I even trying to do this? But he was a really nice guy and he was like, Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever taken that one before and I was like Let me see if this is on your home list. And I scrolled and I’m like, You this is your home medication. And it’s I’m like, it says it’s for your central tremors. And he was like, Oh, that’s my And then he says the name of it and it wasn’t far off from what I pronounced it. And I was like, come on, man.

Mitchell
Yeah, no That’s no, it’s fair. ‘Cause some d usually they’ll know but then sometimes they have they’ll be like, No, that’s just the M one. Okay, well there’s a lot of M drugs, but they even get uh confused in fairness. But yeah. So things that I hate when people say Etc. It drives me up the wall.

Scarlet
There’s no it’s espresso.

Mitchell
It’s E-T-C-E-T-E-R-A, etc. Not uh, etc. And I hear professionals saying, etcetera, it drives me insane, etcetera.

Scarlet
Ooh, I have one, irregardless.

Mitchell
Yeah, well that’s that’s mispronounced a wrong a word that doesn’t exist.

Scarlet
Yeah. I used to work I’ve heard when I hear smart people or people who I think are intelligent say that, it immediately knocks them down like Several points for me.

Mitchell
Oh yeah, no. I used to work when I worked in software, I worked with a very, very she was really smart, older than me, really smart uh engineer And she would say irregardless all the time. And I’d always just roll my eyes and I’d be like, how can you be so intelligent and have like a master’s or maybe in PhD But yet you can’t no one ever told you, hey that ruh Rebecca, that word does not exist. Uh but that’s okay. Uh you’re regardless. Um So yeah, that one. Um and then there’s a few, but yeah, etc. makes me an expresso. I’m always like, okay, whatever. Espresso. There’s no X in espresso. Okay I didn’t even start the timer now. We’re screwed. That’s okay. I will adjust it.

Scarlet
So let’s get to the agenda.

Mitchell
Low the hidden agenda, everybody. Oh man. It’s like actually it’s like this So we uh well it’s not this, so I’m gonna preface it with this. We started this with like it’s called doing the most. And I think originally when we were chatting, uh talking about names for the podcast, it was kinda like, oh, it’s kind of uh how how we deal with We’re nurses and we deal with people who are doing the most, right? Patients who are you’re just like, uh, could this guy do anymore? He’s doing the most. It was about other people, but as we began to doing the podcast, we realized that we were the people doing the most I think. That’s what we were like, oh we’re actually doing the most like and then some, right Which is not unique to us. I’m not trying to make it sound like we’re better at doing the most than others. We’re just sharing the most that we are doing with other people, right?

Scarlet
Mm-hmm.

Mitchell
‘Cause I think many people can relate. Maybe not. If you’re doing the least Send me a text message or a well not a text and you know me I guess you can do that send in a DM or whatever you have to do to get into this show if you even know what this show is Like if you’re doing the least, which now because recently I mean we talked about last episode we added the chickens. We’re still working through the chicken coop Al Coup Traz, um that’s com it doesn’t roll off the trunk the the trunk the tongue but Al Cup Traz is kinda like ‘Cause it is. I’ve designed it to keep the chick well, everything out. So it’s a reverse. It’s a reverse prison, which I don’t know what that is. But so Anyways, we are doing the most and all the stuff and the chickens. So are we gonna be clock watching this whole time? So what I was gonna say is this the other yes, so at work The title of my the working title of my episode’s called Avalanche, by the way. At work. Um a lot of people uh not a lot some people I work with, and this is not th th they’re like, Oh, you are so ADHD, you don’t even know it. They are convinced because they have ADHD that I have ADHD, right? And you are s convinced or semi-convinced or you can speak freely, I’m not upset about this.

Scarlet
I don’t know, it depends. I’ve seen worse people.

Mitchell
Right.

Scarlet
I’ve seen worse.

Mitchell
So and they’re like, oh, you know, and you’re just like un medicated ADHD from me. And I’m I and my response to Jim was like, well if I if I have if I have and I th I don’t even know that’s the correct way to say it, if I am a person with ADHD then b so what? Then what? ‘Cause I’m probably not gonna take medications. I more of a I try to do the I stink at this, but I try to do meditation and sometimes they I may go in phases, then I’m doing it, I’m not. I try to find other means. to deal with kind of how this is.

Scarlet
However, yesterday, right hmm.

Mitchell
I don’t know What you how much time you’ve got. Um, yesterday I was sitting there and then I was really struggling. I was having some internal turmoil struggle. For me, it’s sort of like it’s like semi-depression, sadness, anxiety, like real internal struggle because it’s like this. I currently I’m in a phase of we’re doing like says we’ve got gardening going on as well as chickens, right? And then what I do in classic me fashion, Mitchell fashion, is I am now like Like pedal of the metal, like I am full steam ahead on this gardening where I’ve got like uh heated land or heated mats. And I’m I’m building grow lights to grow once the seedlings are sprouted so they can switch them into that. I got that greenhouse thing going on the back porch. I’m uh I use my three D printer ’cause to make the stands for the this and the that I’m thinking about it. I’m watching YouTube videos about the um the stuff. I bought all this irrigation stuff for the garden and hoses and tubes and I’m like irrigating the garden and hooking up timers and trying to make the garden grow and everything and all that. And it feels like like like I am on like a front of a train. Like that is sorry, that’s just like Lying towards a cliff like I can’t stop this inside of me. This like this like full blown just like and it’s and it bothers me, but I f and this is not the first time in my life where I’ve had like this thing where I’m just suddenly like I feel like I can’t stop myself from buying and reading and learning. Like I just am just I don’t know how to describe the feeling. It is so unsettling and I can’t seem to stop. I can’t pump the brakes. I can’t seem to like stop this. It’s just like I’m just like flying towards a cliff or a brick wall or whatever it is. That’s how I feel inside And it’s unsettling. So then, right. Then I was like, okay. And yesterday I was like, well, if this is like if this is ADHD, if this is what ADHD feels like, I’m tired of this because I hate feeling I feel out of control. That’s the only way completely, entirely out of control. You’re looking at me like, what is going on? I’m trying to go leave this podcast and go somewhere. And Mitchell is unwinding this. left field hook. So I feel completely out of control. Like just massively out of control. I can’t stress that enough. Now. So I was like, oh well, if this is ADHD, I don’t want to, you know, this is too much. I don’t want to be a part of it. Or I need help. I need to get some medicine. Whatever it is. However, then I was like Let us go to the DSM five and see what ADHD is.

Scarlet
Okay.

Mitchell
So so I have I’ve pulled it up here. I’m not gonna try to like I’ll try to be quick. I’ve skimmed it, right? And I hope this is the actual text from DSM five because I couldn’t find an online version of it quickly. However, this is for ADHD. And they have like um so in other words They kind of have the they call it a neurodevelopment disorder. And you got like a persistent pattern of inattention and or hyperactivity impulsivity that interferes with functioning or develop. as characterized by one or two. So they they cr the criteria is like you have to have six or more of these certain things for more than six months. And then in one case, if you’re over the 17 or under, there’s an age component, 5 or 6. Don’t worry about the exact diagnosis here. But let me just tell you that I’ll try to quickly go over all the little groups here. Like you have the inattention group, so it’s like often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork at work during the negative. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in task or play activities Difficulty remaining focused during conversations. Lengthy reading. Nope. Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly No, I mean not more than I think anyone You’re over there looking out the window. You’re just like plucking your eyebrow how long is this gonna take. Okay Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish school work, chores, and duties at the workplace. Ah, I don’t think That’s true because usually if I have a list or tasks but maybe I mean you can disagree with any of these. Okay. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort I don’t think so. Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities. Never, because I use a system where I put stuff, is easily often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli For older adolescents and adults may include unrelated thoughts. Um I mean, I again I don’t feel like I’m That distracted. I feel like no more than the average person who just you know you think of stuff like not like oh there’s a squirrel. Okay, is often forgetful in daily activities, doing chores, running errands uh returning calls, paying bills, keeping appointments. No. No. Okay. So that’s the inattention component. Failing. Hyperactivity. Okay. Often fidgets with or taps hands or feet or squirms in seat.

Scarlet
Whistles

Mitchell
Okay. Well, they don’t have whistles on here.

Scarlet
Well, I fairly.

Mitchell
Selling this interpretation. I f I fairly kind of have some little quirky.

Scarlet
You bite your skin.

Mitchell
Yeah.

Scarlet
You I do screw my legs in bed.

Mitchell
I can’t maybe I have restless leg, but I can’t seem to stop that. Okay. Often leaves seat in situations when remaining seated is expected. I’ve never just got up out of the blue.

Scarlet
No.

Mitchell
Especially like driving. I’ve never left the driver’s seat.

Scarlet
Okay.

Mitchell
Sorry, I just often runs about or climbs in situations where it is inappropriate. I f I feel like we’re describing Max at this point. I know. Um, no. Often unable to play or take part in leisure activities activities quietly.

Scarlet
No. I I do feel why is this this does feel catered to children, but I mean but it has an adult command.

Mitchell
And then often talks excessively.

Scarlet
No.

Mitchell
Okay.

Scarlet
I know people who talk excessively. You’re not.

Mitchell
And now we’re final final component here is impulsivity. Often blurts out answers before a question has been completed, which or just completes other people’s sentences. Often has trouble waiting their turn, waiting in a line. Often interrupts or intrudes on others, butts into conversations, games, or activities, start using other people’s things without asking. For adults may intrude into or take over what others are doing. There might be a mismanage of micromanages in your own.

Scarlet
You’re kind of a control freak.

Mitchell
And then you got several inattended or these hyperactive impulsive symptoms were present before age twelve. No. So that’s really and then some of the evidence is like there’s clear evidence that the symptoms interfere with or reduce the quality of social, school, or work functioning. So I know this is just right. So that’s kind of really like and it’s like if a few of these symptoms. I feel like I barely tick any of those boxes. Now someone could be interpretation. However, now just and this is where I’m getting it. So the people that work and I’m not taking away from them by the way, because someone might listen to this. I I really and I don’t have a issue like it’s more that they the things that people say are always like, oh here’s why we think you’re this way Because you’re really social, you are chatty, you um you’re like kind of off the wall, you’re just doing different things, you’re super detail focused. Like you get focused on things, like some of the things they’ll describe, you’re really good. Often pe they’ll say you’re smart, which I’m not saying that wasn’t in there, and I’m not saying I’m smart But like, you know, you’re smart, intelligent people tend to like whatever, XYZ. I guess what would make you what previously, and I’m not saying just because I went through this list that because there’s interpretation, I get that. What I’m really getting at is maybe I have some other problem. And I’m not implying I have to have a problem. Maybe I’m more OCD I which I was diagnosed with the following the loss of my brother, they gave me some because I was really a door locker back then. Like I was a safety fanatic after his death, like did a lot of that.

Scarlet
But yeah, I would say like O C D anxiety disorder.

Mitchell
Is that exist

Scarlet
I mean OCDA. When I went for a mental health exam, like I filled out an ex an anxiety questionnaire. Right. So For my postpartum thing. And like so something exists. I forget what the screening questionnaire was, but I’m not sure.

Mitchell
I guess I’m saying like I don’t we ’cause yesterday I was like, well this is ADHD, I’m tired of feeling this way, right? And then I looked it up today and I was like, bro Bad news for you, Mitchell. It may not be what everyone thinks and that’s okay. And there’s nothing wrong with any old way. But I guess I don’t really like so and and some might say, well you’re just These are things every adult deals with. You’re just not dealing with them. You’re for some reason something snaps in you and you are like full state. You know me. What have I always said about I may

Scarlet
Zero or eleven.

Mitchell
Right. And I don’t know why that and I’ve and this is something I’ve always been. It’s not like yesterday I was like, oh my goodness, oh this is the first time I’m it’s like I’m always that way and it’s for me sometimes like it’s my It’s not really a superpower, but it’s what allows me to dive deep into something, extract all the information that I can in the time I’m given, and become not an expert. It might seem like an expert to others But in reality I’m not like an expert expert, right? It’s like I have a whole toolbox of like I can bake bread, I can grow stuff, I can grow mushrooms, I can play music, I can record a podcast, like all these things that I can do because I use that hyper focus super laser, but I was completely Felt defeated and didn’t want to be a part of it yesterday. Of myself. So yes. So I was not feeling great yesterday. All day ’cause I was like I c I couldn’t figure out how to put the brakes on this thing called my brain.

Scarlet
So Hm

Mitchell
I know.

Scarlet
Why can’t you just stop?

Mitchell
It’s almost like whatever the next thing is. I don’t know.

Scarlet
Can you distract yourself with something else? I don’t know. I don’t I don’t understand how you function, because I guess I function like a whatever would a normal human be.

Mitchell
Right.

Scarlet
I guess.

Mitchell
Well, you mean you don’t understand how I function like in other words the manner with the manner that I function, or you don’t understand how is it possible that I can even function

Scarlet
I don’t understand how you function in the manner in which you function.

Mitchell
I was just clear.

Scarlet
Yeah.

Mitchell
Clarify. Oh, are you getting close to your parachute?

Scarlet
I keep getting text messages.

Mitchell
Oh, not from me.

Scarlet
I know.

Mitchell
Um, so like yeah, it’s like whatever so it’s like I don’t know. I don’t know, and then I’m always like And so here I am at fifty-one and I’ve never accomplished the things that I wanted to, and I’m like, why can’t I why can’t I take this if you uh if you will, and the metaphors, uh you know, I like metaphors if why can’t I not take this lens and focus this energy and light on what I claim to wanna do? Why can’t I just do that? Like why can’t I have that kind of laser focus? Or what does that say about me? And I really think there’s a probably there is definitely a part of me the uh the reason I like um acting a lot, which you’re like, I know. Roll your eyes, everybody, it doesn’t bother me. It is because Taking time to learn to become someone else and learn all that stuff. I love this is exactly that’s my wheelhouse learning stuff, right? So whenever I used to do a role, I would be like, full steam ahead, man. Read up about the time period. Read biographies if they were available. Like read everything about the character in the play or whatever it is to become as fully immersed in everything I need to know about that thing. And I love that. So guess what I’m saying is like I don’t know um How to like turn that in like re redirect that energy. Cause I feel like it’s almost like there’s a drive that I have to always be doing, which I know that’s all that kind of go, go, go, like, you know Just I don’t know. But anyway, there’s uh how I’m doing the most. I know uh that really didn’t have a lot for you to to uh Say or add to. Other than I was just kinda it made me just again, pulling up the actual definition was like, Oh okay I’m not saying other people are wrong. I’m just saying they might be wrong about me.

Scarlet
So Yeah, and I think my understanding of ADHD has just been wrong this whole time.

Mitchell
And that’s why And people always say, oh, were you a hyperactive child? And I am always like, no, and they’re like, oh ha ha ha ha. And they think that I’m making it up, but I’m not. I was I knew the hyperactive kids. They were always like not in trouble, but because I’m from my age group, they were probably, I don’t want to say misunderstood, but that was the group of like just start them on Riddling as fast as you can and like, you know, like Yeah. And and I know we’ve come full circle actually in a lot of not full circle. We’ve come half circle. So you hate it when I see that’s the you hate it when people go Well to come full circle and you’re like, well that just means you’re right back at the same spot. You mean maybe what would you prefer I say? To come 180 to I don’t know So we’ll bring so anyways to uh what I’m saying is we’ve we’ve changed the way we look at uh this kind of stuff with children. So do you see this in Max? Do you think Sometimes I feel like the child brain is that’s just how it is. Like he’s developing and so he can be attentive. I don’t feel like he’s got Well no, I was also growing up. They just called it hyperactive kids. It was not, you know Well, and I know there’s attention deficit part of it, the AD, and then there’s the HD, which is the hyperactivity disorder, right?

Scarlet
There’s two sides of that, but I don’t think any of his teachers have really complained and about he’s no to me he’s no different than any other

Mitchell
Four year old.

Scarlet
Yeah.

Mitchell
Yeah. And he’s pretty smart. I mean, I know we’re his parents, but I he he shows uh he shows a um fair level of intelligence or is memory recall implies intelligence. So I sometimes think people sometimes I’m not saying they’re the same, but I think sharp memories Can sometimes mimic intelligence? No, I’m not here. But you know me, oh, and I’m not saying he’s not intelligent, I’m just saying he has a sharp memory, but I also think that’s part of becoming intelligent, maybe is the fact that he’s uh Do it one time and he knows it forever and you’re gonna pay for it. Which is why I can’t why which is why I do the stupid things like I have stuff that’s hidden that I can’t let him see me again because I then I have to find a new hiding spot. And then then eventually my memory’s failing and I can’t remember where I hid something and then it drives me up the wall and then eventually I’d be like, oh well, actually he’s already found the new hiding spot and he has to help me find the thing that I hid. from him so he wouldn’t find it anymore. There you go. Well, beyond that. Okay, what’s next for us? I mean we’re gonna wrap up the episode, I getcha. You feel are you getting anxious? All these text messages.
