Dana Gets Panic Attacks From Thinking Too Hard About Space | The Yak 3-9-26

Dana reveals that he suffers from panic attacks and takes anxiety medication specifically because thinking about the vastness and incomprehensibility of space triggers extreme existential dread. He actively tries to avoid the topic to prevent these episodes.

Dana states, 'Terrifying. I try not to. I No joke, I had to go on medicine because I thought about it too much.' He elaborates, 'It freaks me out. I try to try not to think about it... it makes you feel like nothing's real and that makes me feel like I go crazy.'

Brandon Walker is championing a social media campaign to encourage younger generations to resume social drinking, specifically beer. He distinguishes between 'sober' individuals (reformed drinkers) and 'chumps' (those who simply choose not to drink), targeting the latter to revitalize the beer industry.

Brandon explains, 'I'm trying to get the generation that's not drinking to drink.' He clarifies, 'I'm talking to the the the dudes these days who aren't boozing... the young impressionable ones.'

The hosts react with astonishment and concern to images of bodybuilder Nick Walker, questioning the practicality and comfort of such an extreme physique. They discuss the assumed steroid use and the short lifespan often associated with professional bodybuilding.

Comments include, 'I didn't know people could be built like that,' and 'It seems painful to be in that body. There's no way he could ever be comfortable.' They also discuss the high rate of young deaths among bodybuilders and the use of 'stuff that hurts you in the long run.'

Brandon Walker presents a controversial dating analogy, suggesting that if one has 'all the money in the world' (like Joe Burrow), they should opt for a 'new car' (a younger, childless partner) rather than a 'used car' (an older partner with children), implying a preference for partners without prior 'baggage.'

Brandon states, 'If you have all the money in the world and you're going to a new car dealership, you could buy the best new car ever. You don't want a car that's had a kid. You don't have to buy even the nicest used car out there.'

A host describes the immediate and intense impact of moving into an apartment directly next to a Chicago L train station. Despite not noticing it during the initial viewing, the constant, loud rumbling every 15 minutes has disrupted sleep for both him and his fiancée, and terrified their cats.

He states, 'I am closer to the train station than I am to my sink.' He adds, 'Every 15 minutes... I wake up. It's loud as [__].' His fiancée was 'trying to smother herself with a pillow,' and his cats are either hiding or 'hissing.'
