    I think Dr. Mercola should listen to himself on audio only. Dude, take a breath, decide what you are trying to say and then say it. I had to turn off the pod because of the frantic speech and stammering. Help us help you. This could have been an enjoyable listen.

    I stopped listening when the ai took over. It’s ironic and sad that he destroyed his career with robots.
