Ben and Zach are joined by Michael Ajeto (@dysthymikey), Pitcher List and Lookout Landing contributor and counselor extraordinaire, for a lengthy conversation that begins with 45 minutes of mental health talk (with a content warning regarding suicidal ideation and other symptoms) before meandering everywhere from our own names to the depths of our own brains. Anyway, some other highlights include:

* 0:00 - Our many names 

* 0:15 - Growing up in the Pacific Northwest

* 0:25 - On psychology, mental health and Michael's thought-provoking medium post [https://mikeyajeto.medium.com/on-feeling-and-not-feeling-542bce3a64]

* 0:40 - Ben notes our lack of a time limit as Michael explains the amygdala

* 1:08 - We finally start talking about baseball

* 1:12 - The 2001 Mariners were super cool

* 1:20 - All thirty of our remaining listeners receive a hearty thank you

* 1:22 - Certain things that are legal in Washington and Illinois...

* 1:25 - ...that might have made Michael call the cops on himself

* 1:40 - Socks before pants, and Zach's apparent difficulty drying his feet

* 1:52 - Michael explains why Friends sucks

* 2:05 - Seeing ghosts!

* 2:12 - Ranking Nirvana albums

* 2:20 - Why Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven is a Kid Cudi favorite
