Oh Joe... Nootropic isn't pronounced like that.

I tapped out after the 15 minutes off the top about their love affair with Apple and how lovely everything else is (including Linux). Also, how these "tech-savvy" individuals are unaware that "PC" stands for "personal computer". The reason Apple couldn't include specific brand names for their competition was because of the legal repercussions of a slanderous/libelous advert campaign.
Sorry I shut up.

I think it's funny/sad/ironic every time he says "OS 'ECKS'" instead of 10.

They're a class of drugs called "nootropics." The active chemicals in Alpha Brain are Choline and Huperzine A. They aren't placebo, and there's a thread in TCC about them.

I haven't taken any Alpha Brain, but I was on piracetam and choline for about 3 months earlier this year and definitely experienced results. Huperzine A is pretty popular by judging on various nootropic distributors' catalogs.

I'd still assume they're overstating the effects though, even on piracetam and pramiracetam (much more potent) I never had a full on lucid dream or experienced some revelation about my life, sure they help with motivation a little and various other subtle things but these aren't the magic genius pills he's selling them as.

Admittedly, the show is spotty in terms of quality, but it's pretty crazy how awesome and hilarious this podcast is since it's just stream of consciousness talking. No pre-production, no organized schedule, just a few dudes talking.
