The audio is really bad. One of them give his important points under his breath, and then seems to laugh loudly into the microphone. So basically you switch from barely hearing anything to being deafened by his laughter.

The advice they give is basic.

It seems as if there were some golden secrets that I missed because he says something like, "The greatest thing is, I always say this, it's golden..." then he whispers it under his breath to the other guy, and they both laugh loudly. So basically the best tips are lost because of the shitty audio.

They also try to discuss the difference between "General Social Anxiety" and "Approach Anxiety," as if nobody has ever distinguished the two; when in fact this has been a subject in psychology for decades. There is General Social Anxiety Disorder, which is different from Social Phobia, which is different from General Anxiety Disorder. Probably the most efficient and effective treatment for specific anxiety (such as approach anxiety) is Systematic Desensitization, which has been confirmed successful by many research studies since the 1960's. There's a newer technique called "Flooding" which is almost as effective, and it's advantage is that it's faster (as in it can take less than a day to work).
