Speaker: Do you know what it's like when you wanna go cry But you can't let out all the feelings inside So you lay in your bed under blankets and hide Do you let people know that you feel like just finding your pillow? Get stained with the tears that you cried And you're praying nobody comes in And that's why the redness is already taking your rise I wish you could hide it but there's no disguise in it Cry, let it all out If I had to be completely honest with myself I'm tired
Speaker: I'm tired. It's not a physical tired. It's a very, you know, it's in the soul. It's like I'm fucking tired. I'm tired of going through this shit. I'm tired of... tired of everything not working out. And I'm just like, I fucking tried. And it's a... I can't not lie and say, it's not a, it's not like you don't want to live kind of thing. It's more of a, if God were sitting across from me right now.
Speaker: there would be a part of me that would just want to go up to him and say, listen, I'm done. I'm done. I'm not. I can't do this anymore. I'm just, I'm fucking physically and mentally spent and I'm done. And it's a, it's a silent battle too. Um, and it's a, it's a battle kind of hide from the world and from the people we love and the people we want to love or want to love us because
Speaker: Who wants a broken person? You know, it's like, if they knew, like, if the people in your life knew how broken we were, like, would they stay? And then that raises the question of like, how do I fix this? Can you fix this? I don't know.

Speaker: what up motherfucker by the way i am terrible at social media because i'm the only one on the social media right now running all the social media and to say that my plate is not full is an understatement to say that you played it full was an understatement yeah i said that right or is full your plate would be is yeah to say it's full would be an understatement it's more than full
Speaker: I mean, like, it would still technically not be wrong to say that your plate's not full would be an understatement because your plate is full. So you don't really understating it. Oops. I'm stoned. I'm sorry. Words are hard. Words are hard. All right. Don't worry, Glick. Once the network gets more started, you'll have more social medias to deal with.
Speaker: Helping out when I'm a little less stoned and I can I can think more you can function as a human being Yeah That is it is it is Monday and you said this is that men camper man It's the mental mental men's menstrual cycle show men's mental health show And like we do every Monday his headset just died I think
Speaker: like we do every Monday to start the show. I want to check in with the guys and see how they're doing. We'll start with Jarvis since Connor's having some technical difficulties over there. How was your week, man? How was your weekend? How's everything going in your world? Yeah, pretty good. You know, just been
Speaker: trying to fucking get my college I graduated from to call me so uh I can get on the whole role of uh getting my name out there for some radio positions you know if you catch my drift but you know I gotta call them fucker I should just call this school directly tomorrow and light a fire under their ass but uh you know sometimes that's sometimes that's what you gotta do man you know they
Speaker: You can't, you can't allow them to drop the ball on you and you got to stay, you got to stay on top of it, man. Well, I get their service for like a year free and it's just like that year's going to be up before we know it. So it's like, would like to get the ball rolling. So then I can, you know, get some interviews with potential radio gigs under my belt. So then it's like, Oh, Hey, got this job. Don't need you guys anymore. Deuces.
Speaker: So the service that they offer, what is that service? Is that something to help you? So like they would help me with my cover letter, with my resume, you know, they would ship my demo out there. And then if, let's say someone out of state
Speaker: wants me, so let's say North Dakota or God forbid, bum fuck, Ohio wants me. Um, they would help me with relocating and getting that job. Nice. Which like I told my wife, I'm like, I was like, well, if they need me to relocate, is this going to be a big deal or are you going to be okay? I'm like, cause if, you know, this is a huge opportunity, if that ever did happen.
Speaker: And she's like, no, that would be fine. And I'm like, well, would you be able to tell certain people on your side of the family that this is a huge opportunity for Steven and I'm not going to fuck it up for him? Yeah. I mean, people would have to understand.
Speaker: Uh, yeah, and fortunately for you guys, you guys are young enough and you don't have kids yet. So, I mean, you don't, it would be, it would be easy for you guys to relocate and make that move. And I mean, it kind of starts somewhere too. You gotta get your foot in the door saying that, you know, say for whatever reason you get sent to fucking Utah, you know, you might be there for five years and then an opportunity comes up and back home and you can come back home and it's a better opportunity for you at the end of the day. You're making.
Speaker: You know, more money or whatever. Well, the nice thing about being in sports broadcasting is that who knows an NFL team might want me a major league baseball team. I don't think I'd ever want to do NBA. I college basketball would be, I would do that, but. I mean, it'd be worse. You could get called up to do WNBA. Yeah, that is true. And you could broadcast to all five of their fans. Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, I watched WNBA when the Minnesota Lynx were like dominant with Lindsay Whelan and all that before she left for the girls basketball head coaching job at the U of M. And I mean, it was fun for its time, but once once everything started getting political, it's just like, OK, so you're alienating your fan base because you think you're not being paid enough. But yet they just had
Speaker: one of the best female basketball players show up at the All -Star game and do I think like a three point challenge or whatever against Steph Curry. And I think Steph Curry pretty much obliterated and then mopped the floor with her. And it's like, you want to talk about a paid dispute, but yet you can't even go take your best against the NBA's best. Well, it's so.
Speaker: It all boils down to product, man. I mean, at the end of the day, but that's neither here nor there, but yeah, like I said, so is that, is that that service that they offer? Is that one year from graduation or one year from the time you sign up for courses? I think graduation. Okay. So that's nice. So it'd be next February would be the cutoff. Hopefully. Nice. So it's still going to give you a, still going to give you a, you know, quite a bit of time, but you know, like you said, time does fly fast. And I mean, that could be.
Speaker: with that degree now and you're not able to do anything because you can't get your foot in the door anywhere.
Speaker: I mean, you know, my, I, me and my wife have made plans with my, my mom, you know, to go see them in the Dakotas, you know, either in the spring or summer. So that's time consuming. Um, I also am planning on seeing Dalton and his wife, shy and K mag, um, at that same point. So it's like, yeah. And then of course,
Speaker: Me and my dad, I had promised my dad this year that we would go hang out in a little town called Emily, Minnesota, where my grandparents once upon a time had a cabin up there that we would go to all the time.
Speaker: they ended up in a nursing home. They lost the cabin. So I was like, we're going to take a trip up there. Just see what all has changed up there. And he's like, well, we're getting a hotel room too, right? And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, well, I'll pay for my room. I'm like, no, don't worry about that. I said, I'll be making money. I'll be making some good money. Better money than what I'm making now. Yeah. Well, anything's better than what you're making right now. Yeah. Tell me about it.
Speaker: No, that'll be cool. That'd be a nice trip to make. I mean, you know, just get a bedroom or get a, get a, or, you know, where the three of you guys are going to go. Or was it going to be like a father son type thing? No, three of us would go. Oh yeah. They say it was like a father son thing. Just get a room with two beds in it. Why do you get two different rooms? Don't make it weird, dad.
Speaker: No, dad, I don't want to get one bed with you. It'll be all right. It's a good thing my dad doesn't listen to this podcast. Save some money. It's all good. Nah, you know, that'd be cool, man. You know, we're trying to, we started talking about our summer plans and stuff too. So, you know, it's, it's right around the corner at the end of the day. You know, hopefully, hopefully before long, you'll be able to, you know, obviously, I mean, you know,
Speaker: You got to start from the bottom with these radio stations might be an intern. Well, yeah, definitely. And they don't do unpaid internships anymore. Even when you're an intern, you're paid. You might have to start doing overnight. Might have to give that host a little handy J every now and then. Hey, you got to start somewhere. Yeah, you're doing the overnights and you're talking up music or whatever. But you got to start somewhere. You got to get your foot in the door and then slowly start to
Speaker: to work your way up and move up to hopefully get to where you want to be. Well, like even they said, when they were hearing my commercials and all that, they're like, OK, this is what we've heard. You're OK at doing the weather. We're not going to have you do the news. And your strongest suit is sports. And so I was like, so you're telling me you want me to be a sports broadcaster? And they're like, yeah.
Speaker: And I was like, there you go. You got it. You nailed it. I threw you the fastball. You hit it. You did a Glick. You called your shot. It went over the thing. The Ohio baseball team, MLB team won the World Series for the first time ever. And we're happy.
Speaker: First and foremost, the Reds have won the World Series multiple times. All right. Oh, that's right. The Reds. Why should I just remembered Pete Rose? I don't know if the Indians have ever won a World Series. I think the Indians have won a World Series. Yeah. Well, they're not the Indians anymore. They're the Guardians. Come on now. Come on. Guardians. My bad. You know what? And now there's talk about a Major League remake just because they changed the name and I'm like, that's going to be so shit.
Speaker: I will however say they are doing it. They were just doing an overhaul at the stadium. And I'm not mad at the new paint scheme because the paint and the chairs and the aisle ways and all that stuff now match the color scheme. And it looks good. What's going on Wally? Chief Wahoo for life. Wahoo, Wahoo.
Speaker: I mean, uh, I'm a borderline, like I'm a red fan, but I root for the Indians as well. I like the Indians. The only time that I'm not rooting for the Indians is when, uh, we have the battle of Ohio and then I root for the reds. But you know, the crazy thing about it is in all honesty, we could have a Cleveland, Cincinnati world series and that would be bad. Cause, uh,
Speaker: The Indians are the any and now right or ale I can't once in the American League on the other I think yeah, I think the Indians are in the National League and the Reds are in the American League I Can't remember The best thing they could ever do Is hire Bob Euchre
Speaker: Cause like when I watched the, Oh, fuck Mark's here. Yeah. Mark asked me, he's like, so the Indians are, Indians are the American league and the Reds are in the national league. So we had to reverse what's going on. Mark. Mark asked me about, cause I told him, I'm like, well, I seen that skin of a rink or whatever movie. And he's like, yeah, how'd you like it? And I'm like, definitely interesting. Definitely interesting. He's like, so does that mean you don't like it? And I'm like,
Speaker: It's just not my type of horror, right? You know, it was it was a little slow. Yeah, all the guys in the chat. Hopefully you guys had a good week had a good weekend. If you if you if you care to answer how y 'all doing, I like to check in on the guys. We lost Connor. He's dealing with some technical difficulties, so when he comes back. Well, we'll check in on him.
Speaker: I will say for myself personally little stressed a lot of stress a lot of stress a lot of stress stress right now so But we'll get through it. We'll get through it. I say we'll get through it like Everybody involved. We'll get through it. Everything will be fine. Just just pretty stressed out right now about some things going on but
Speaker: Uh, so, um, so I'm dealing with that. And with that, you know, with that being said tonight, tonight I wanted to talk a little bit about stress just in general. Um, you know, obviously I think most of us kind of get an idea of what stress is, you know, the, the, the clinical terms or whatever is, uh, you know, like a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation and or situations or a compiling.
Speaker: of situations, which is like what's going on in my world. I've got like nine different things that I'm stressing the hell out of right now. Um, not that many, but, you know, but, um, still, still stressing over, over a lot of things. Um, yeah. Nice. My pressure walked all washed all weekend. And then Blake, I came home and we got home today and I jumped on and played a few rounds.
Speaker: And then I was killing zombies before the show. And my son came and got on his Xbox. It was just like, would you like to still play out here? Would you like to play on your other one? I said, gosh, get on your account, bro. Completely kicked me out of my game. And I was kicking ass and taking names. And that's what I do for stress reliever. I take, I play video games. Um, you know, speaking again, you got your football jersey on bro. What are you talking about?
Speaker: Cuz you wiped out my game. That's what I'm talking about you Okay Giant oversized, Michigan Jersey on but um So, you know and
Speaker: And the experts, you know, they say stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address the challenges and threats of our lives. And everybody, let's be honest, I don't care who you are or what you say. We all have stressful moments. We all deal with stress and we all experience stress at some point in our lives.
Speaker: Exactly. Yeah. 100%. Chris, it's just how you handle it. Sometimes you can work out. Sometimes it can work out or make it worse. You don't find your happy place and, uh, is what he does to try and relax from stress. Yeah, exactly. Um, yeah, I got a lot of things going on with work, uh, work situation and whatnot. Um, some personal stuff going on as well that I'm dealing with.
Speaker: So my level of stress, personally, is kind of the meter's full. The meter is kind of that red, flashing, warning, warning, warning, warning. So I do want to get back in the gym and all that and start working out and whatnot. But I also don't want to like,
Speaker: I don't want my stress to impact the other people around me. Yeah, I didn't even see you run earlier. I was on there. I was on there for a little bit when we first got home today, because I took the day off. I had to take care of some things. So I took the day off. And then when we got home from PA, I jumped on for a little bit. And then I wanted to take a nap.
Speaker: Yeah, at some points. And you've seen, and you've experienced that side of me before. So you know what that's like. But while we're waiting on the guys to get back, I think Jarvis might be eating, which is fine. Take your time and eat, Jarvis. Don't worry. I think Connor's trying to figure out his headphone mic situation.
Speaker: You know, while they're doing that, some of the things that, um, basically some of the ways stress is going to make you feel you're good, buddy. If you're eating, don't worry. I'm full. I'm done. Good. Uh, you know, obviously angry and patient wound up this guy all day. Uh, what's going on, Jamie? Well, I'm welcome. Um,
Speaker: You know, or overwhelmed 100 % again, check. We're going to do a little checklist for Glick right now. Under loved check. I do feel funny. I love personally, uh, anxious, nervous, or afraid. Check, check, check. If you see me right now, my legs are going about a million miles an hour. I've been fidgeting like the last like five or six days on my, my, my fidget level has been like at times a million. So.
Speaker: I'm sure you guys could probably see my laptop moving. I'm trying to not shake my desk too much, but, uh, so I've been super, I've been super anxious for about the last week and a half or so, uh, more so than normal. I'm already at like a, I'm already at a high level of anxiousness most days anyways, just because I'm an anxious person. I have anxiety or whatever. Um,
Speaker: Uh, your thoughts are racing or you can't switch it off. That's why I want to go back to the gym because, and I keep saying that and I say it every week and I haven't done it yet, but I need to, because that's again, like Chris said, um, you know, finding your happy place. The gym's always been for me someplace that I can go and shut my fucking brain off and not worry about all the problems and troubles that I'm dealing with at the moment and take that nice.
Speaker: hour, hour and a half or however long I'm in the gym, just kind of relax, just kind of not think about anything. And, and, and, you know, the, the aggravations and the frustrations I can just take out in the gym, um, unable to enjoy yourself. I'm not really feeling that right now. You know, I can still have a good time. I can still have fun. You know, I enjoy getting to spend time with Nikki, you know, even though we were NPA for some issues, we still got to spend time together and go out to dinner and
Speaker: take her son out for his birthday. We got to surprise him. So that was really cool. Um, cause his birthday's this week and still able to, you know, but, um, but I have been in that situation before where I was so stressed out that just wanted to run my head through, through a freaking wall. Um, depression. We talked about this a couple of weeks back, you know, feeling depressed or whatever that depression monster starts to creep in. Yes. I've talked to the IM.
Speaker: battling that right now. And some days are, some days are good. And then just random times days, it's just kind of gets the best of me. Uh, I don't ever sit in life. I'm still interested in, you know, I'm speaking about me personally here right now. Um, but it's just in general when stress, you just, I'm not necessarily, it doesn't mean you want to unalive yourself. You just have no interest in anything anymore. You just don't want to do anything because you're so fucking stressed out.
Speaker: and aggravated and just bothered with everything that you just tuned out, man. You flipped the switch and you're 100 % uninterested. I mean, it could be the other side of the coin too. And then like you've watched, sometimes you're gonna feel like you lost your sense of humor.
Speaker: Come on. You guys know me. You know, I haven't lost my sense of humor, but I have been there before, but that's just some of the most, the most, the most common signs of, of, of dealing with stress. You know, those are going to be things that you're going to, you know, if you're on the outside looking in and you see somebody that might be getting overwhelmed with stress, I mean, there's some of these things are super easy to, to, um, to catch onto and to notice and, and to see, um,
Speaker: Now that feeling been there a lot like, Hey man, we are riding the struggle bus together. My friend, we need to get together sometime and, and, uh, have a drink or something. I don't invite you over to the house sometime. We have a drink or something. Hang out, chitchat, catch up. Uh, yeah, see, I just need to get in the routine, Mark. Mark said he needs a gym partner to, to, to someone. I don't make him go. I just have to get into the routine because I'm a very routine person. I'm a creature of habit.
Speaker: I also like things to be routine, you know, my day is get up, go to work, come home, do what I need to do around the house, whatever, do the show, do this, do that. You know, if I add the gym into my routine, once I get to that, you know, once I go a few times, uh, you know, two or three times that I get that routine locked in, then I'm good. Then I'm there, you know, five days a week, six days a week, whatever the case may be. And it's locked in and it's, it's in my mind to let's go.
Speaker: You're off work. It's five o 'clock. Go to the gym, you know, whatever. It's Saturday morning. Get up, get dressed and go to the gym. You can take a shower and do all that shit that you normally do for your Saturday after you get done to the gym. Sundays are my days off. That's my days off from social media. It's my days off from, uh, anything podcast related. It's my day off from work. It's my reset day, you know? And usually if Nikki's home, it's me, her sitting around.
Speaker: laying around, watching movies, cuddling together and eating sushi, ordering 45 pounds of sushi and watching terrible movies all day or good day, not terrible movies, but good movies. It's just some of them. Sometimes we don't always pick winners at the end of the day, but that's kind of our day. That's my reset day. And that was something that I started. Um, and it, and it's been, it's been beneficial to a certain degree.
Speaker: For me, when I came back home to Ohio, I said, I need to take a day to just unplug and reset.
Speaker: Oh, definitely. I mean, trying to get into a routine when you are depressed and just don't want to fucking do anything, been there many times. I'm sure as we all have, you know, it, it sucks, especially when you're, you're wanting to do something that betters who you are on either the inside, spiritually, physically, mentally.
Speaker: And then all of a sudden you're like, fuck, you know, now I'm stressed out to the gills. It's like riding on a roller coaster, but instead of getting off that roller coaster, every time that dial turns up about a hundred times each time with the stress and it really does suck. So Chris definitely hear you there. Yeah. Like, uh, you know,
Speaker: I think after the show Saturday night, I kind of dived into some of the things I'm going through right now with you guys. I think it was after the show. Yeah. I certainly hope it was after the show. It was after the show. We didn't do a part two that night, which was probably for the best. Yeah, it was 100 % for the best.
Speaker: I mean it was still a good night you lucky bastard but I mean you know at the end of the day it's yeah it was that rockstar podcaster lifestyle you know hmm
Speaker: Look, man, some of us, some of us are ready for the lifestyle. Some of us aren't, and I was born ready for it. You know, I'm a chess setter. I'm just a limousine riding, kissed you and wheeling. I'm like from, oh, that hardcore podcast or rock star lifestyle. Part is when family is involved and your kids don't. Yes. Yes. Yeah. They don't mean to, man. They don't, they don't do, they don't do anything wrong. Like you said, you know, they're just being kids, but you know, that's, that's.
Speaker: My oldest one's part of my stress right now. Obviously, I think we all know methods and ways of dealing with stress, obviously. Like I said, take a break.
Speaker: Uh, you know, I know, I know some of the experts will specifically say, like, take a break from social media, watching news stories and stuff like that, because God, man, I haven't watched the news in years. I really haven't. I, I turned the news on for one or two reasons sports or weather.
Speaker: Yep, pretty much. It's like the only thing I watch the news for is the weather and if something else is going on I change the channel and I'll come back to it on the weather but now how many nowadays I can click a button and I can get full 10 day forecast on my phone and everything like hell I got a whole ass weather app on my phone. I mean, yeah, I mean, definitely because the news is crazy these days, man.
Speaker: you have you have weirdly become the weird reptile guy man dude you are gonna be like the tiger king but instead of tiger you're gonna be the reptile king Chris and I Chris and I basically pretty much together we met in
Speaker: in seventh grade, sixth grade, Chris, sixth or seventh grade. I can't remember. We met when I moved in or when I moved out, when I went to live with my dad and my stepmom, Chris and I met. He was the first friend I had when I moved, when I moved out with my dad and we just stayed friends all these years. We haven't seen each other in a long time. And it's funny because we now live like maybe a half hour from each other, but. Sixth grade. Sixth grade. I think we live like,
Speaker: half hour from each other and I think we've seen each other twice since I've been home. And one time he randomly hit me up out of nowhere. He's like, aren't you back home in Ohio? He's like, I got a couple blue jackets tickets if you're interested. I can't go to the game. I was like, hell yeah, man. But
Speaker: Obviously, you know, taking care of yourself, you know, getting your, not only, not only, and we say this all the time again, this is going to be one of those things that you're going to hear us repeat on this show, not communications or, but one of the, one of the key parts of, of getting your mind right. You want to get your mind right, but you got to get your body right too. You got to take care of your body as well. Whether, you know, uh, eating healthy exercise and trying to get as much sleep as you can. I don't sleep very much when.
Speaker: When my stress is elevated, when I'm dealing with mental issues, I don't sleep very well. My biggest thing is when I'm stressed out or I'm feeling some sort of way mentally, the nightmares and night terrors come back and they don't allow me to sleep very well or I'm just worthless in general and I can't freaking sleep at the end of the day. And again, word of the night.
Speaker: Take a break or phrase of the night. Take a break. Give yourself a break. We had we we have key. You have keywords or phrases every episode I feel at this point. I'm waiting for the take a break to show up under on the screen. The phrase of the night is is is. You know, take a break. Let's put it. You know what? Let's let's do it. Let's do it right now. Damn it. Now I'm going to have to get my account last going.
Speaker: Uh, hello gentlemen, the hard R, how are you doing? Poorly. I'm doing better now than I was 20 seconds ago, or I should say maybe 20, maybe 10 minutes ago. Sorry. My, my headphones died. I ran to go grab while I didn't run. I leisurely carefully walked to go grab a charging cord to charge them.
Speaker: And, uh, as I did, so, uh, I then had to run to the bathroom to go throw up. Awesome. Yeah. Narcotics are great. They're not running anywhere. You're definitely not walking anywhere. It's more of a hobble these days. Yeah. It's, it's a, it's a, like, if you cut off the leg of a turtle.
Speaker: And then you watched it, like you ever seen a dog missing a leg, try and walk? It's like, imagine that, but like a turtle trying to do it slowly. That's a hell of an analogy. You're welcome. See, the thing is, it seems like a ridiculous analogy, but you're visualizing it. You're an artist with your words, my friend. He's a poet.
Speaker: Now we're going to have to put down below no turtles were harmed in the making of this episode. You can rally baby. Um, you know, with that taking care of your body part, like I said, you know, that comes with, um, eating, trying to eat healthy. I know it's hard to eat. Literally everything, you know, life was so fast paced. Nobody really had time to sit down and eat a home cooked meal or even when you do it, usually you try to, you know, um,
Speaker: make something that's quick and easy and fast. You know, that's one of the things I got to give Nikki a lot of credit for us because she cooks it. She cooks dinner almost every night. You know, she obviously we said to exercise in plenty of sleep, blah, blah, blah, excess alcohol or nicotine. That's a word.
Speaker: Oh, shoot. That's funny. But, you know, just kind of simple stuff like that. I don't know why we're going to get vaccinated to handle stress relief, but, you know, whatever. We're not going to talk.
Speaker: Take time to unwind and then do what we do. Do what we do. Talk to somebody, talk to others. I told you guys a million times. I mean it, you know, we have the social medias. I run the social medias. If you need somebody to talk to it, and even if I don't know you, sometimes that's easy to talk to somebody that you don't know, as opposed to talking to family or friends. Take time to talk to somebody. Talk about what's going on. Talk about what's on your mind. Talk about what's got you so worked up, what you're stressing out about.
Speaker: you know, I'm always available. If you follow us on our social media and, and drop a message or something like that, I promise you, I'll respond back. Uh, it might not be in a timely manner because I do get busy, but I will promise you, I will respond back to you and, and we can check that I've done it some a few times. And, uh, you know, I've made a few new friends that way. Um, but yeah, like I said, talk to somebody, talk to somebody. This is what we do here on the show. I mean, we, we started this show and that allows us to.
Speaker: Talk about the things that are going on in our world. Talk about the things that are, that are bothering us or things that have, you know, affecting us or whatever. It's a safe environment. I ain't saying safe space because it has such a negative undertone anymore, but you know, this has kind of become our safe space, even though we're broadcasting it out to the interwebs and everybody who wants to can hear and listen to it. Um, obviously.
Speaker: Make time to unwind. Take a break. T A B motherfuckers. Not the Tom Brady. Um, if you're in, if you're, if you're a religious type of person, uh, you know, connect with your, uh, faith -based organizations or connect with your community in general, try to do things around the community.
Speaker: Uh, and recognize, and this is our biggest downfall is men. We don't always recognize when we need help. We don't always recognize when we need more than what we're doing because we're, because it's just, that's how it's in our DNA. I don't want to say that this is how we were taught or that's how we were raised. It's ingrained. It's in our DNA. That's how we're, that's, that's, that's who we are as human beings. So, you know, don't be afraid to ask, don't be afraid to get help.
Speaker: Uh, and help can come from anybody. Uh, you know, you, you don't have to necessarily go to a therapist. I mean, you can, if you want, but you don't necessarily have to. Um, you can, you can shoot. I know Connor and I have talked about things, you know, Jeff and I have talked about things. I know Jarvis and I have talked about things in, in, in private, what not necessarily always on the show. Um, and whatnot, you know, hell, there was a time, once upon a time, a couple of years back where.
Speaker: I can't tell you how many nights cause I was really going through some shit. And I can't tell you how many times that Jeff and I would be on the phone until two or three o 'clock morning where when he was going through some stuff, uh, we'd be on the phone until two or three in the morning, just talking to each other. Once our kids had gone to bed, he would call me or I would call him or something. And we would just sit there and talk for hours about nothing. I mean, we would talk about our problems, but then at the same time we, then we would just talk about nothing at all. But it was just to have that, that, that other ear on the other line.
Speaker: was nice to have at the end of the day as opposed to Connor is Really going through something. I get over there Speaking of being stressed This podcast is stressing him out I Mean yeah But you know so does mine so, you know, there's that I
Speaker: Like yesterday Dalton invited me to play Minecraft with them And I'm like my my gaming laptop can play all that but it's like it's slower than shit So I was like I'm like, okay, and he's like, how's your house going over there? I'm like, oh I'm about 25 years in haven't even started the foundation yet Because it's just so slow Why why do you not just play on the Xbox dude? Because they're they they're doing
Speaker: They got all the mods on there. And I guess the mods that they have on the PC version of it don't work on the console version, which isn't surprising. And so they dropped a nuke on the thing. And I was just like, good God guys, if you wanted to act like North Korea, all you had to do is call up Kim Jong. And so they were, yeah. So if we didn't.
Speaker: Sorry to offend anyone in North Korea that listens. I don't think we're listened to in North Korea. Something tells me that it's not the DR. We're not very big. It's not called the nonsensical nonsense over there. Yeah, we're not as big over there as we are in some other countries.
Speaker: You know, we're talking, we're talking about the, the whole stress thing Jarvis and, and, you know, I'm getting a little long winded over here. Sorry. That's what I do. I talk a lot guys, but you know, what are, what are, what are some of the things that you do? Um, you know, when, when you start getting super stressed out or, you know, what's some of the things that help you alleviate that you do personally? Um, that's a good question. What are you looking for? Oh, um, it's in the bedroom. Uh,
Speaker: God, what do I do to be unstressed? Well, I'm not piss off my wife anymore than I probably have when I am stressed. But no, what I normally try and do is I try and focus on what caused that. And then I'll watch a movie or listen to some old school music. My playlist on YouTube music seems to be getting a lot bigger every now and then. Bryant's like, how the hell?
Speaker: you're welcome yeah yeah most of us from the house of glick you know glicks house of music you're welcome yeah glicks house of music uh trademarked by the way can't be used without the express permission of glick incorporated nonsensical incorporated yeah um
Speaker: But no, the thing I've noticed with stress and mental health is that if you key on what's starting to cause it, you'll know better keys and steps on how to better control it and also not get bogged down in those situations again. So for me, video games, music, surprisingly, my wife, if I haven't pissed her off,
Speaker: Yeah, God, me trying to be serious on a podcast about talking about mental health that that was a good one. But no, I mean, it's, it's just one of those things that, you know, unwinding, like you were saying, going for walks, you know, are amazing. I always when I go for a walk, I'll put my headphones in, I'll blur my music, or I'll blur a good podcast I'm listening to at that point. And
Speaker: just go about my day, you know, um, granted I live in Minnesota, so weeds legal, but you know, most of the time you don't want to, I don't want to be firing that up or else I'll end up like my buddy, Brian, where, you know, he always keeps telling me, yeah, if I quit smoking it, you know, dude, my mind's fried. So it'd be like, Oh, now I know not to smoke it too much. We haven't, we haven't adopted Ohio's practices yet though.
Speaker: Well, you know, we, we, we kind of do things a little differently in Ohio. Memes are those videos that you see my last two brain cells and it'll be like, you know, like, like two dogs that both look like they have down syndrome. Click. Why don't you smoke weed? It's great. Well, I don't got a lot of brain. Most of my brain cells are kind of, kind of fried at this point. I really don't need any more help handicapping myself at this point.
Speaker: But no, walks are great. I mean, that's kind of like I said, exercise in general is going to help alleviate some stress factors and stuff like that. Unfortunately, keying in on what's stressing me out, in order for me to fix it, my first initial thought is still illegal in pretty much every state. So. Click, we've had this discussion.
Speaker: But no, I mean, it's easier said than done. Fire to the rain. Oh, is that why Connor's getting hosting duties? That is pretty smart. I mean, honestly, I don't think I could host another show. Some people just want to watch the world burn. I'm some people.
Speaker: Poor, poor fucking Connor on Saturday is just like, wait, I'm going to be the host from now on. And Glick's like, yeah, motherfucker, watch this podcast blow up. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll weenie, I'll ween him into the room. I'm not going to just drop it on him, but yeah, I would love to ultimately, um, let this be Connor show and him hosted me. Just sit back into a coasting co -host chair and, you know, kind of let it, you know, do the dance with him. But, um,
Speaker: You know, man, that, that exercise, man, that is, that is a key one for, for stress relief. Um, music's always been an outlet for me personally as well. I can agree with you there. Uh, you know, I've said it a million times. I'm the type of guy that sometimes I just want to go for a drive and find me a back road and, and listen to, you know, there's certain artists that I'll listen to like Jason, Al Dean or, uh, Bradley Gilbert or.
Speaker: Um, artists like, you know, other than some other like different, just different artists in general. And the great thing with the world we live in now with cell phones and technology, I mean, you know, having YouTube music, I can listen to full albums and like Jason Aldean. There's not an album that he hasn't put out that I didn't like every song on it now. And I'll fucking start with one album and work my way through all of his albums, hit a back country road and just drive up and down them roads and get lost.
Speaker: And I'm doing, you know, a hundred miles an hour up and down these roads and just letting, letting my mind race or do whatever, just to clear out all the thoughts and all the craziness going on. Hell, I've said it before, you know, one time, uh, you know, not too long ago, um, a couple of years back, I was really going through a lot of stuff and I just went out for a drive. Uh, it was a Friday. I went out for a drive.
Speaker: next thing I knew I was like two and a half hours away from home. I had no idea where I was and found this little, this little in that was real cute little, little, uh, uh, in, uh, it was, uh, like a little mom and pop in and the building was just adjacent to their actual house. And, uh, I mean, in all honesty, looking back on it, if you ever seen psycho, you know, that, you know, how the hotel sits at the bottom of the hill, it was kind of like that, but.
Speaker: way, way cuter, you know, it was a real beautiful area. It was a, it was a real beautiful location. And I, and I wound up spending the night there and they had a little diner that, that, that belonged to them as well. Uh, you know, outside of the restaurant, everything was made from scratch, you know, uh, ate dinner, had dessert kind of just, I don't, I don't know how I ended up there, but I ended up there and it was what I needed because the owners, the husband and wife are an older couple.
Speaker: They were right there, so I got to meet them and chitchat with them. And they kind of were like, what brings you here? And I said, honestly, I'm just dealing with some stuff and got in my car and started driving. And I got to talk to the husband a lot, talked about war stories and him being in the military. He was an older gentleman. But at that time, it was what I needed. And it was just one of those, I mean, call it what you want to call it.
Speaker: something guided me there and something put me there that night and that was exactly what I needed the next morning I woke up and felt like a million bucks came home to do the show and man I I felt like a million dollars and and I could never tell you I'd I've been I don't know how I ended up there or anything I was just listening to music and I was like where the fuck am I at holding up on my GPS I'm like I'm still in Ohio that's a good
Speaker: Yeah, if you start hearing them, if you start hearing banjos around Glick, call help. Yeah. He's been converted. Right? No, trust me. If I hear banjos, I'm giving out as quick as we've seen enough movies. I'm not that white guy going, I wonder what that is. I should go check it out. Glick, the guy's like, hey, come over here, Glick. No, I'm done. I don't want to be with the cousin fucking. I'm good.
Speaker: Thanks for the hospitality. I'm gonna go on about my business. I'm gonna picture my way back. Yeah, I mean, you know, driving is a hell of a stress reliever unless you're just like one of those people that as soon as you get behind that wheel, you're fucking flooring it and you're pissed off just driving then. Yeah, I do have that. Welcome back, Connor. You good?
Speaker: No, fuck this man. This is the second time I threw up in 10 minutes, man. I feel a little better now, but holy shit. What'd you say? Oh, no, the dinosaurs, man. Dude, I'm fucking this shit's coming through my toes, man. And you don't have you ever seen varsity blues? No, no. We really need to reevaluate this friendship. Chris, you might have the right idea, homeboy, but you got the wrong bitch.
Speaker: You know that like leftover taste that you get in your mouth is that acid taste after you throw up and every time I burp, that's all I got. Nice. So we're talking about stress today. Everybody.
Speaker: Yeah, we were kind of talking about this, you know, you know, signs of stress, symptoms of stress. This had the other day, stress relievers. And I asked Connor, and I want to lead into this with you. Hopefully you're going to be around more than a minute or two. I'm going to try my best. I got the cold sweats, man. Yeah. You weren't around earlier. So before I ask, this is a two part question. Question A. I would like to say, how are you doing? But I think we see.
Speaker: No. How was your week? How was your weekend, man? I mean, how's I mean, I know the answer to this, but how's everything going in your world? How are you doing over there, man? So it's been a it's been an interesting day. Don't you dare bring him on yet. OK. Wave, Brian. Oh, yeah. Wave, Brian. Wave. OK, as Brian. OK. Anyway, I forgot last time Brian was on the show. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: But anyway, um, no, it's been a tell you what, up until probably Sunday. So yesterday, uh, I was actually doing really well since my surgery. I was feeling pretty good. Um,
Speaker: And the day, it was starting to get pretty and nice outside. We spent some time with the kids outside and I was on, I was using my walker and I'd sit down on my walker and we spent some, some good quality time together. It was really nice to be outside for the first time in three months. And then today came around and, uh,
Speaker: My doctor called me this morning and asked if they could reschedule my follow -up appointment I had set for tomorrow, uh, for next Tuesday. Uh, and I was like, yeah, no problem. And then I called my doctor back and I was like, Hey, you know, because I'm not going to follow up with you post surgery, like day three, what should we talk about now? Yeah. You don't need to worry about your dressings, anything like that. And I was like, well, what about this like popping and clicking in my foot?
Speaker: You know, the one that you worked on. She was like, when it pops, does it hurt? I was like, yeah, like really bad, like really, really, really bad. She was like, huh, we need to take an x -ray of that right now. We might need to go back in. I was like, I'm going to I'm going to lose my fucking mind. So for Connor can't get a fucking break pun intended.
Speaker: I give up, man. I'm telling you, I'm going to find some shady army general somewhere who's doing some test programs. So I can have Adebantium injected into my bones so that I can never break again. I'm going to be the next fucking Wolverine. Why'd you do it, Connor? It's tired of being broken. Broke on the outside or broke on the inside. Pick one, not both.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm both over here. That's what I told you. We have our very own Mr. Glass on the show, man. Yeah. If you'll notice my title for Gile, it's Italian for it's broken. Hey, yo. Hey, yo, what's it saying in for you? Fucking shit. That's my best fucking friend in the whole fucking world.
Speaker: right there just so everybody knows. I will speak it from the rooftops and I love you Chris. I really do. But but you can't that's Doc. That's that's my Jesus. You're a best friend whore. No no he's had he's had my number one spot for the last
Speaker: Uh, probably since about a year after we left each other. All the things we shared together in that, in that truck shack, all the things we did together in that truck shack. Believe me, it was nothing compared to nine months in Korea with that man. Oh God. I thought you guys were like sweater, sweater vest bros for life. Like, like you, you Snapchatting me enough when you're in Korea with you at times.
Speaker: Did you eat all your chicken nuggets already? I am super jelly, Timmy. I am super jelly. But yeah, this this man has been to the gates of hell and beyond with me. And yeah, that's my that's my fucking boy right there. Brian, what's up, man? How are you doing? I'm doing good. How are you guys doing? Well, obviously, Connor is delicate. I'm doing fucking great, Brian. I feel like I'm on the fucking world.
Speaker: Let's go. Give him another five minutes. He'll be muting up again. I'm going to come to your house and stab you in the throat. I mean, I'd give you a hug, but you might break like a wine glass. Yeah. Oh, that escalated fast. Yeah. You know them Connors with them hard hours, man. Apparently.
Speaker: to make a schedule, Timmy. I mean, you know, there's already going to be a divorce nonsensical network and we, you know, we're going to have to, you know, we have so many children in the nonsensical network that Jeff and I are going to have to go through a custody battle. But at this point, I just feel like he can just have Connor, you know. I want to walk away. We had a good run, sport. Enjoy your night. I know that I'm your favorite kid. Come on.
Speaker: But, uh, how are you doing? How was your week? How was your weekend? Uh, weekend was good. Um, just pretty much relaxed. It's some small errands and just, uh, watch a lot of movies over the whole weekend. And it felt great. Nice. A nice, relaxing weekend. How was your butt that you ate, uh, this past weekend? Yeah. I smoked a pork butt.
Speaker: I smoked the pork butt and that's going to last me all week already. I made a pulled pork fried rice. I made pulled pork mac and cheese and a little bit. I'm going to make some pulled pork tacos. Nice. You're going to be eating pulled pork for a hot minute. That was a, that was a good looking pork butt, man. That was 10 bucks. 10 bucks left for the whole damn week.
Speaker: Damn, I think we might need to take a trip to Texas, guys. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm thinking about like taking half of it and like share my coworkers be like, hey, help me finish this. Trust me. This is a conversation about me coming to visit him in Texas or him coming to visit in Ohio and breaking the smokers out because I need I need him. He's going to be like like my Obi -Wan or my Mr. Miyagi. He's going to teach me the ways of the smoke. I was about to say probably more Miyagi than Obi -Wan.
Speaker: Nah, he'd be like Obi -Wan. Obi -Wan is the family guy run off. Obi -Wan's just trying to molest Luke because it's the pervert. Yeah. To answer your question, Timmy Boy, yes, it is because he's disabled because if you don't have no disabilities in the click clan, we're married. I knew it. I knew it. You disrespectful. What is that word that I'm looking for? Cretin.
Speaker: No fucking oh, she's does it start with a D fuck? Dickhole discriminative is so that is so discriminatory Yeah, but yeah like I was very pleased with the pulled pork came out great very tender and I seasoned it more and more and more so now it's like very very flavorful and
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, and the only and the true good sign that I know that I did it right was when I when I when I unwrapped it, and then I pulled the center bone out, pulled it out with no problem. When I did that, I was like, boom, the champ is here, baby.
Speaker: So, so yeah, so I mean, um, probably on the next go round, next payday, I might do like support, like smoke some ribs. We were, we were talking about, uh, for Easter. Cause we were originally going to do one thing and now that's kind of put on hold.
Speaker: Excuse me, possibly. Uh, but Nikki says I'm about buying a ham and I was like, I think I can get with Brian and I bet I could figure out how to put that son of a bitch on the smoker and just let it just throw it on there in the morning and just let that son of a bitch go all day or whatever. So I bet I can get with Brian. She was like, Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Cause I mean, yeah, you have an offset. So you just gotta have, you just gotta make sure you, I mean,
Speaker: you can go straight firewood or you can do a combination of both charcoal and firewood or just straight charcoal, but whatever, whatever you, whatever you get your hands on. Yeah. Last year when I, cause I've only smoked a couple like pork chops and you know, they don't take very long to smoke or whatever. Um, but like Nikki said, she doesn't even like it. She loves it. Like she's not a big fan of pork chops, but she loves the pork chops that I do when I smoke them. Uh,
Speaker: And I've done a couple other things, but I do a combination of charcoal and, and, and the, the wood, the wood sow. Yeah. I mean, and the, and the, and the cool thing about it too, it was like just sitting down on the back porch, uh, you know, while it's going on, even though, yeah, it's a pellet, I don't have to keep monitoring or whatever, but just, it was nice and breezy and the, and, uh, the music was playing and everything. I'm just kind of just sitting back looking here and hearing, uh, even hearing the dog bark going crazy. Cause she's like a fucking motion detector.
Speaker: Yeah, anything that moves, she's barking like a tree will fall or a frog would jump in the pool and something. I don't know. It's always something. She's always barking. But yeah, but I mean, but just like just kicking back and then every hour, you know, spritzing it down, keeping it moist and everything. And then I'm good on pellets and everything, which I got to buy another bag pretty soon. But yeah, but it was just kind of just relaxing. Nice.
Speaker: Uh, we're right up against it. But when we come back, I want to, I want to, uh, ask who we're talking about. We're talking about stress tonight. And, uh, you know, we kind of went over some of the, you know, the, the, the symptoms, you know, symptoms and signs of people being stressed out or people dealing with stress. And then we went over some of the things that, you know, that are good stress reliever, some of the things that we can do. And I asked, I asked Steven, uh, like I said, we're right up against it that we're going to get ready and take a break. But we come back when we come back from fake, I would like to ask, uh,
Speaker: uh, Connor and Brian, you guys individually, as we, as we normally do here, it's like a little round table conversation. But when we come back, I'd like to hear what you guys do for stress relievers and, and Brian kind of hit on one of his, one of his things. Wow. Give that a little, get that little serotonin going, huh? Get a little dopamine hit. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Uh, for you, before we go to break, I do want to shout out one of our sponsors.

Speaker: No, because no, I like tasting it through my ears. You know, I used to and I used to turn away and that one actually just snuck up on me as I was talking and I used to turn away and I would mute my mic and then I got yelled at for it because they're like, like, that's your thing. Like, quit being a bitch. Yeah. So we are. We are talking stress tonight. We're talking stress and, you know, men in particular and
Speaker: Like I said, we kind of talked about some of the things that you notice when somebody's stressed out or you notice as a person when you're stressed out. We were talking about some of the things that we do to help alleviate stress. So I had asked, I had asked Jarvis, you know, a couple of things that he does that helps him relax when he's feeling stressed out. Um, Brian, I'd like to ask you the same thing, you know, uh, just what are some of the things that you did? You kind of touched on it like right before we went to break with you with this, with, with grill and in barbecuing and stuff like that. Um,
Speaker: Is there anything else that you do to help alleviate stress or help with when you're feeling super stressed out or? Uh -oh. Can't hear you. You're muted. Yeah. Nope. Nothing. Everybody's having headset difficulties tonight. Okay. I'll go to Connor. I'll go to Mr. Glass.
Speaker: So when I'm stressed out, what I like to do is I like to break a random bone in my body. So we're trying to alleviate stress. I thought Connor was going to go with a wank and a cry, but I mean, a breaking bone. No, usually I cry before the wank.
Speaker: I have to do a diagnostic. I don't know why my computer does that. It's like it's doing it more frequently now. I need to like, those are sure shit human being. I mean, I'm like, damn, man. It's like, it's just, uh, but anyway, um, other than cooking, watching movies, listening to music, uh, if it's a really nice day outside, I'll go for a drive or I'll just go to a park and go walk around.
Speaker: easy, simple stuff like that. I mean, just really like having time with myself or time with the boys. I mean, we got rodeo, we have rodeo now. So, um, just sucks that I kind of fell short, uh, thanks to bills being, uh, being a bad influence on me right now. Cause tonight performing at the rodeo was Hank Williams Jr. Oh, nice.
Speaker: Yeah. So, but I figured I was like, well, uh, I'll just go on the last, the last weekend, the Saturday, Brad Paisley's plan. So, I mean, it'd be like the sixth or seventh time I saw Brad Paisley, but you know, it's whatever. It's the rodeo. I haven't gone in nine years, so why not? So I'll be rocking the Ariats. I'll be rocking the cowboy hat, rocking my Hui t -shirt. Yes.
Speaker: We know what kind of road you're going to drive it for them. One thing we know. Oh, I'm sorry. If you, I, I mean, you know, that's a pretty pretentious thing to say, even though that you are a emasculator for driving a Chevy Equinox, which is like a AKA. Hey, that's a good ass car. I was emasculated when I had to drive a van and then I had to buy a van and then had to drive said van around. I was like,
Speaker: We only got three kids. Why are we buying a goddamn minivan? But, you know, I mean, to be fair, most of America, most of America's population families was created in a van. So there you go. Um, no, exactly. You know, you, you find the things that you enjoy, you do the things that you like, you know,
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool because at the exhibits, you get to see the kids in school, FFA or 4 -H, they're doing their deal, getting their animal being auctioned or judged or whatever. That's pretty cool to see the work that they put in. There's another area from what I remember where you could watch
Speaker: chicks hatching out of the egg. Oh, yeah, like a hatchet. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, there's a petting zoo and then other exhibits and stuff like that. I mean, I was really, really tempted to buy this one pretty badass duster, but I'm not willing to pay $1 ,400 for it.
Speaker: I bought one probably close to 20 years ago at the PBR. It's all black. I love it. I fucking love it. Yeah. I mean, but this, but this one, it was like, it was kind of like, it was like a weathered, like kind of like a shark shark color. Yeah. It was sweet, but I was like, damn, 1400. Ooh. I was like, I don't even pay that much on anything. So I got, I got mine at the PBR, like I said, about 20 years ago. And I think I dropped about five, five or $600 on it.
Speaker: Even then I was like, oh, that's going to hurt. But I really want. Yeah, we got we got a new guy that transferred from from our from our Tampa branch. So he's like learning the Texas ways and everything. So he was like, yeah, whenever you go to the road, I'll go. I'll meet up with you and everything. So it was pretty. So, you know, it's cool. Show him around. I told him I was like, bring cash because
Speaker: I went through $200 easily just on, just on food and drink alone. That was the name of the stripper bar. Now we, uh, at one of the farms I used to look at. Also, despite what Jeff tells you, Brian, that's not the way that you pet the animals when you go to the petting zoo. So stop it. You're going to end up on a list.
Speaker: Well, I was just watching him how he does it. Oh, I saw your name on that list when I said to write mine. Don't ever take advice from Jeff, Brian. I mean, all I heard was, why, why? Oh, I love it. Oh, I love it. So, but, um, but yeah, but I mean, but, uh, yeah, so I just told him, I was like, bring cash. I was like, we just have to pay for like a Parker drive and then pay to get in.
Speaker: Um, but other than that, it's just like, you know, you got the carnival food, you got the big old food court with a lot of other barbecue, uh, barbecue spots. And, uh, there's like this one, I think hopefully they're there every year, but I don't know. I haven't been in nine years. So hopefully they do have it. But basically it's like, you could get fried alligator on a stick or fried alligator at two Fay. And I'm all about that Cajun cooking.
Speaker: the hell is F2F
Speaker: No, no, no, no, no. I'm trying to explain it right. I'm trying to use the correct verbiage so that you simple minded nimco poops can understand. I ain't no simple minded. I've never been down to New Orleans. I mean, I've had cajun food. Trust me. I love me some cajun food. I've just never had that.
Speaker: Yeah. So basically it's like, it's like a rue. And if you have shrimp etouffee, they serve it over white rice. If you have cage, if you have crawfish etouffee, they serve it over dirty rice. But basically it's like a little sauce rue that they make French style. And it's just drizzled over rice and whatever you have. And there you go. Voila. Right.
Speaker: Yeah, but fried out fried alligator on a stick. It's just awesome. Right alligators delicious alligator itself is delicious. Oh, this is what can I ask you? I mean, at least Shane dropping the hard ER in your name anymore. You know, but alligator much like like tuna or shark or whatever. It has to be cooked just right because you can very easily over or under cooking and it tastes like straight ass. So, um,
Speaker: that's something simple with a fancy name at the end of the day
Speaker: Connor, outside of breaking the same bone over and over again, we're stress relief. What do you find that helps you alleviate stress? Or if you're going through a stressful situation or anything like that, what generally helps you kind of get out of that funk? I find something to occupy my mind.
Speaker: to you
Speaker: And it had been a fucking stressful week after my foot surgery and everything like that. And, uh, I got to go out there and just spend like four fucking hours cleaning this gun. I didn't have to spend that long, but did. Cause it was, it helped me slow down and think about something else and occupy my mind. And I do that shit all the time, whether it's I I'm going to go panic clean something because I'm pissed off and I need something to distract me or.
Speaker: back when I was healthy, I'd go to the fucking, I'd go to the mats and I'd go do some kickboxing or I'd go to jujitsu or, you know, go lift weights. Uh, just something to, to change, take it off my mind so that when I can come back and think about it, I can think about it logically instead of from an emotional standpoint. What up juice. So what you're saying and basically what Brian was saying or masturbation.
Speaker: the fifth
Speaker: It's a great way for Monday to end. See, that's that's what that's why you always nut into the toilet, man. No clean up and you don't feel any remorse. Them kids drowned. You got to get it in your beard. Oh, God. Jesus, really, really moisturizes and helps with the growth. Actually, it doesn't like dressed up when it dries. Well, now we know why Glick's beard change colors.
Speaker: I've been saying it for years. I've been saying it for years Jarvis Didn't mean to take your saying there Connor So, you know like what oh Jesus oh Hell no, what? My phone cradle just so my my ring light slash phone cradle
Speaker: My ring light is broken and it barely works half the time. But now my phone cradle, it literally just snapped. I don't have any problems in my life right now. Let's add one more phone breaking it. Evidently not Glick approved mother tested.
Speaker: Yeah, not right. Apparently not. It's not Sasquatch tested. You two Jarvis, don't think I didn't see your fucking little, your little wookie meme that you sent me about a red rocket or. Dude, you got to show that it was great. Oh, God.
Speaker: I'll save it for Wednesday night. I'll put it in there. It's like glue, not if you rub it in properly. No, no. Exactly. I can't have nice things. Yes, I can't have nice things. But what if it's like you haven't wanked in a while and does it? It can't always come out like glue. I mean, I will. I will. I'll do that shit goes a mile.
Speaker: Yeah, I will. I will give my ring light and phone holder a lot of credit because it has, I have had it for about five years. This is called men caring for men wanking, not for a long time and blowing holes in the toilet.
Speaker: You know, you guys joke, you guys joke and we joke about it. But in all honesty, like Brian said, you get that serotonin, that dopamine hit, uh, and they, and they say for both, and I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there for both men and women masturbation is a very healthy thing. And it's good for your mental state. It is a, it is. And we're talking about stress tonight and it 100 % is an absolute major stress reliever. Not great for keeping a clean toilet though.
Speaker: the the
Speaker: But, uh, no, I mean, it is, it is, it is a very healthy stress reliever. It is a very healthy way to, you know, uh, kind of get that, get that boost of, uh, it's medical. That's my fucking doc right there. God damn right. It is feature dick in the 110 degree heat. It's a, it's a, it's a nice little boost. And if you're having problems sleeping, it'll help with your sleep. It'll help you get to sleep and whatnot. Um,
Speaker: See, I keep telling my wife that, and she tells me not to touch her, so. Yeah, I love you, Doc. You're the best. Damn. One of the biggest problems with stress and the reason that it does affect us the way it affects us, obviously, you know, it affects the body, but it activates your sympathetic nervous system.
Speaker: and stimulating the release of stress hormones throughout the body. So I mean, that's one of the big things why it affects you the way it does and just wears, it takes so much out of you physically because, you know, all those, I don't know what you want to call them. It's a rush. You know, hormones or whatever are just flooding your body.
Speaker: Uh, and it has a lot to do with like, with, and I guess it, and this is the expert. So, you know, don't, don't beat me up for this. It's that fight or flight mentality into our bodies. You know, whether we want to stand and fight it and deal with the stress and deal with the stress appropriately. Uh, and I know I'm not, I think it's safe to say that.
Speaker: I'm not the only one guilty in this panel who does not handle stress properly. And we've probably done things that we shouldn't do when we're handling or dealing with stress. Because you either, you either want to fight it and find something constructive to do, whether take a walk or go do something that you enjoy or take a drive or whatever, or you go into that flight mode and you let it eat at you. Who's I mean,
Speaker: I think I'd be, it's a safe bet that I could make that. And I'll ask each one of you guys, have you ever been at that moment where you were so stressed out that you just sat like a, like a bump on a log and didn't do shit about it at some point? Not all the time, but at some point it's called bourbon.
Speaker: the the the the
Speaker: the the the the
Speaker: words are fucking hard. God, I'm trying to do it. It has. He always adds S's on the end of everything. So he'll be talking and he'll be like, and that's why I appreciate you. Katie's Katie's. But the show is funny, Brian. I think you would like it. I think you would enjoy a little bit. God damn sure better. Jarvis watches the he's Canadian. He has to watch it. Yeah.
Speaker: See told you. It's on Hulu. Give me a fucking break. I know. Oh, it's all good, eh? Oh, OK, Brian. I can't resist. No, the no, of course you can, you fucker. That is a great fucking killer sometimes. It's not like I don't get the fucking Canadian treatment on Wednesdays or Saturdays from fucking Glick fucking drunk
Speaker: Oh, there you go. You get it from everybody. Yeah, first and foremost, don't put that evil on me when everybody does it. All right. She put that you are. Bobby, don't you put that evil on us, Ricky? Don't you stab yourself. Yeah, Jesus, Canadian to aboot it about fucking nerds. Aboot it all down there, Shorzy.
Speaker: But that's you and C .L .A. Connor's got that look like call me short as you one more time, fucker. Fuck you, shorty. I don't know every time I see Connor, I just picture him with a top hat with some wax with the curls on his beard and be like, welcome to the necklace.
Speaker: Connor, you posted that beard for a little montage in our chat. And I almost did the same thing. And it was going to be a picture for me without a beard, to me with a beard. I'd be like, it just happened overnight. I don't know what happened. That wank a beard product. Julia called me a fucking nerd for saying that.
Speaker: Why is she not in the chat? Tell her to get back in the chat. So she's actually she's been watching on her television. Oh, nice. I love when she puts us on her whole her whole ass fucking TV. So for her to comment, she got to like have it on her TV and go through her phone at the same time. She's kind of done. I love being able to make sure I've been trying to convince like a couple of my like I was trying to convince Nikki at one point in time to put the show on at the bar and I got a couple other friends that
Speaker: working bars or working environments where they have TVs and I'm like just just throw us up on the big TV and see how long until somebody says something you know I put I put the show on uh in Planet Fitness one time because they I found out that there's a there's like a jukebox after whatever and uh if you signed up you got X amount of credits for free and
Speaker: Well, you could play songs from your Spotify playlist. So I went to our Spotify and I put the show up and it was playing throughout playing the fitness on all the speakers. Um, and every time I would go there until I ran out of the free credits, I would put the show on and when I walked in and they would just let it, cause you know, everybody's got earbuds in and nobody really pays that much attention, but
Speaker: A few who were did not become viewers. Well, you'd be surprised how many how many people listen to the show in the area. And just recently, with the start of this show, I've gotten some some messages from people not necessarily in town, but in the area surrounding counties and whatnot that have commented about about the Monday night shows and stuff like that, because they've they've discovered or whatever.
Speaker: I mean, hell, we've had people that listen to one show and didn't know that I did other shows and they listened to one show and now they're listening to all shows. So I mean, it's, uh, that's super cool. The TV and phone, we're getting the double treatment. But, uh, Brian, what are you, what are you posting here, man? Click on the third link. Click on the third link. It's like, I can't help it. Oh,
Speaker: Yeah, click on the third leg. I can't help it, but it's like. I mean, Connor has a mustache royalty right here. Yeah, no, Connor does. Connor, look up to you. This is this is this is all for Connor. I have no idea what just happened. I don't know what happened. You left me, buddy. That's what I want.
Speaker: you know, talking about, you know, like this stress stuff, you know, you know, the the unfortunate and the downside thing is that there's really not a quick fix for stress or cure, quote unquote, it's going to happen in your day to day life at the end of the day, whether it be work related, relationship related,
Speaker: that decision related what what what else is like a good stress reliever is like a hop on a motorcycle or scooter and go cruising that's fun to do and then to the ultimate stress reliever skydiving
Speaker: My favorite stress relief is going shooting, going on the range and shooting is my fucking, it's just the best stress release that you have. Go boom. And you disappear. And also to like have like a bunch of glass bottles, go to your dearest recycling center and throw it in the glass bin and hearing it shatter is awesome. You know, you say that and you're a hundred percent, you're a hundred percent honest because I remember
Speaker: You know, I work in property management. I work in building maintenance and whatnot like that years ago. Uh, and I actually, well, no, I really can't do that now just because the way it's set up. But when I worked, when I worked for OSU med center, when I worked for the, the Ohio State University med center, the medical center, we used to store up all of our fluorescent bulbs. Now we.
Speaker: You don't have a lot of fluorescent balls in a lot of buildings these days because everybody's making the switch over to LED or their strips or they're renovating and updating and upgrading to LEDs. But we used to store all of ours until we had this massive fucking area and then
Speaker: me and the guys, that's what we would do. We would go out to the big dumpster and we would just shut these fluorescent lights in there. And it was such a massive stress reliever. And now they have these, what they call rampage rooms at the end of the day, where you can go in or rage rooms or whatever you want to call them. Yeah, I'm with you, Alyssa.
Speaker: If I go skydiving, you know how high my stress level will go. Dude, if you go skydiving with me, it will be a fun time. But here's the thing, Chris. I'm going to talk so much mad shit to you. Yeah, and that's why I said the nice thing about me going skydiving with you is because I can literally pick you up and throw you out of a fucking plane. I know that you're not going to die. Are you coming with me?
Speaker: We're going to hug it out. We're going to fall out together. 15 ,000 feet and then I might say, oh yeah, 5 ,000. Let me pull my, let me pull the shoot. Brian's going to go, come on, bro. Let's, let's, let's hug it out. But all the feelings that have just hugged it out. Yeah, we're going to be falling like 170 miles an hour with our combined weight. That's going to be awesome. Don't worry guys. We're almost to the ground, but you know what? We don't need to pull that shoot just yet. Who needs, who needs to jump out of the plane with a shoot, dude?
Speaker: I mean, I just, I just want to see Glick's like with a little stream going all over there. We're like, Oh, he went himself. Yeah. You know what? You're not wrong. A hundred percent. I agree with you. I agree with you, Timmy. Shooting is great, but there ain't no fucking rhyme or reason to jump out of a perfectly good plane or helicopter. I'll go skydiving with you. I'll go skydiving with you, Brian. You can jump out of the plane while it's moving. When it hits the ground, I'll jump out.
Speaker: that's not how it works
Speaker: I mean, yeah, I mean like I mean like Crystal Ghost skydiving with me. I'll be like, alright, ready and like I'll have my I have my tandem instructor on my back.
Speaker: Glick will have his on his back and then like the back door would just open and be like, all right, guys, we're just going to walk. Oh, the back door is going to open. Yeah, we're. We get up the plane and he starts taking his clothes off. I'm like, whoa, wait, what is going on? He was like, oh, you want to open that back door for me? Yeah, the store and the cargo door, the plane is going to open up and then I'm just going to walk off the plane and be like, come on, Chris, I'll see you on the ground.
Speaker: How the story ends is, well, Glick, did you jump? Yeah, a little bit at first. You want to talk about my stress going through the roof yet, trying to put me on a plane or an helicopter.
Speaker: or something like that, or, you know, anything that's, that's more than two stories off the ground. I'm shitting bricks. Like I was, so like one of my, my, my, my buildings are both seven stories. And I was on a patio on the seventh floor and I looked and I kind of glanced over the edge and I started getting queasy. There's a giant wall. There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, almost six, there's just almost a six foot wall that separates me from falling over. But I still got queasy because granted.
Speaker: great view of nationwide arena district in Columbus, beautiful view. But, you know, I don't do heights very well guys. And then the good news is if you do go skydiving, even if you don't even jump up, jump out of the plane, if you even just go up and think to yourself on your way up, I'm about to jump out of a fucking plane. The good news is you will not have thought, good morning. Mama's going to come get you guys.
Speaker: You will not have thought about your everyday stressors that entire time. You'll forget about. No, no, no. I mean, like, like when everyday stress. Yeah. I'm not thinking about that, but that new level of stress, which is like, you know, I said earlier, you don't even have to jump out of the plane. Just go.
Speaker: I mean, I mean when when is maxed out and there's like little warning flashing lights going off because you know with everything going on But you put me on a plane. That's a whole new different stress thing and that meter explodes Back in 2012 when I mentioned it when I disclosed it with my family tragedy My co -workers were like, hey, you're coming with us. You're going skydiving. I'm like, alright cool
Speaker: I'm in and man like with everything that was going on in my mind everything that was going on mentally physically emotionally everything all rolled up in one I Had like a tsunami full of like anger hate confusion also the shit going on But the moment I got on that plane once I suited up and I got on that plane and my instructor strapped to my back by time that door opened and
Speaker: And we're already at 14 ,000 feet. And the moment he said, you ready? I'm like, yeah. And before he even said the word to jump, I just went ahead and jumped. And he was like, OK, we're doing this. And then it's like, free falling is my favorite thing in the world because it's like a spiritual baptism to me. I mean, we're both falling with his weight, my weight combined. We're going about maybe about 155 miles an hour just going down. And the thing was, it's like,
Speaker: to the
Speaker: and went up and all of a sudden just seeing everything like all of downtown, the Med Center, the Astrodome, Reliant Arena, or the Reliant Stadium, everything all around the surrounding areas. It's like, it's really nice up here. And then after that, by the time I got on the ground, all that stuff that I went through, going through all that, all washed away. And I was like, man, this is great. That's 200 bucks I've ever spent.
Speaker: The next thing they noticed was a familiar smell that, uh, both the instructor and Brian shit themselves. No, no, no, no, I didn't know it was, it was 100 % adrenaline, but it was like, it was a good, and I had adrenaline high for three days straight. All I wanted to do was go back up there. Even, even, even those, even those that were scared too, when they, when they took, when, when we got, when they all landed, they're like, Hey, let's go back up.
Speaker: Like, yeah, why not? It's 100 bucks. Let's go. All the stress, all the anger, all the hate, all the madness, just everything that I was dealing with before I got on that plane and before I jumped out of the plane is replaced with new anger, hate, and stress and frustration for wanting to kill Brian for making me get on a goddamn plane and jump out. Glick's just like, hey, instructor, what's that?
Speaker: The instructors don't worry about it. Like, like, I mean, because I mean, Glick's never been to Vegas and we were talking about it like off camera. I told him I will fly to Ohio. I will grab his ass, put him over my shoulders and I will carry him to the airport. And I am going to fucking drag his ass on the plane. I'm like, we're getting on this plane. I will choke him out. I will choke him out. We're like, we're getting on this plane.
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: We've got it. Why? I don't give a damn. I mean, you could be eight feet tall. I'm still going to talk shit and I'm still going to put you on your ass. I don't get that. We got the dude. We got the it's the Brian's, the plain dude from from the man with the Golden Gun and fucking Glick's the guy with the Golden Gun, the third nipple. Yeah. Well, I mean, let's be honest. I don't show up here at all. I'd be like, what's up, Brian? You don't realize my big baby with the track.
Speaker: Now my, I mean, they'd have to get Sasquatch sooner or later with the tranq. Yeah. And now when I wake up on the plane and Brian's like, when I was playing big fella, I just want to be like, Oh my God. Oh my God. Like shut up. You want to see a, and again, I'm not the biggest guy in the world. I understand that I'm only six foot two and I'm 300 pounds, but I'm not a small guy, but you want to see a big, a big fella.
Speaker: weep like a baby. I don't fear anything in life. My biggest fear is heights. That's the only fear I have. I don't fear any man. I don't fear any man. I don't fear any creature. The only fear we have is the spirits. But I am scared to death of heights. That is my biggest and probably one of my only fears in life is heights. You want to see a grown ass man weep like a baby. I promise you,
Speaker: the the the the the
Speaker: I mean it was like it was like my ex -girlfriend when it was like her first time to an airport first time on a plane She's petrified of heights
Speaker: And it was like doesn't have the parachute in there. No, no, no, no What was funny though when I booked the seats when I when I booked the seats when us airway us airway was around You could pick your own seats and I had her seat by the window And she's like, yeah, here's our seats. She's like, well, she goes what I got the middle and or the isle I said, no, you got windows. She's like, why the fuck you put me at the window? You know, but that's like, come on, we're gonna do this together because
Speaker: And then she's sitting there like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I'm like, just relax, breathe, relax. And then by the time you know, it's like, one made that left turn and then we stopped. And she's like, why are we stopping? I'm like, these guys get clearance from the tower. And then all of a sudden their engines started revving. And she goes, oh no, oh no, I'm like, yep. And I just went, and I was like, and then, cause I flown so much, it's like, I can't feel it. I can hear what it's about to like, boom, we're about to take off.
Speaker: the south of the
Speaker: And since I hear it, I'm like, in three, two, one, boom. And we took off, and she's like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. And I'm sitting there going like, 10, nine. And she's like, oh my God. She's like freaking out of the addiction. I was like, two, one, zero, boom. We're like, boom, lifting off.
Speaker: And she was like, oh, she's like, face is like all up in my shoulder. She, I'm losing circulation in my arm. I'm like, I'm like patting. I'm like, they're there. We're doing it. You're doing good. And then I said, like, I flipped the window shade. Hope did this. She looks out, she goes, motherfucker. I'm sorry, but I'd be that total dick that as soon as she's like, wait, what's that noise? I'd be like, oh, fuck. I forgot to tell, they forgot to tell us they forgot to feel the plane. Yeah, right.
Speaker: But by the time we got to but by the time we got to 35 ,000 feet and she saw like this like wow. Oh my god Like taking pictures and everything she got over it after that Yeah after that when we we had a land in Phoenix to switch planes and then she was she was fine after that She was like, okay where we said that I'm like right over here and it's like okay after that she was cool flying and
Speaker: Wow, oh my god, I could push my boyfriend out of here and just say that he forgot the parachute. Yeah, but I mean, but but she she was very appreciative that I was like very patient with her even though she was freaking the fuck out. Oh, Alyssa, you know damn well if if I if I skydived with you that it'd be fine.
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, I can see, I can see though, where, you know, like Brian said, I'd just be afraid at first, where, you know, if you're into that kind of thing, if that's the kind of thing you like where that, that skydiving 100 % could be a stress reliever or, you know, like you said, Brian, you weren't going through all that stuff that happened in that family tragedy and, and everything like that. Holy shit. Oh my God.
Speaker: You know, with that family tragedy, we've talked about it on here. You and I have talked about it, too. Yeah. You know, for a few moments and I mean, let's be honest, skydiving doesn't take that long before you reach the ground. But for those full moment or the few moments, all that, all all that shit that's going on in your head, it's it's gone.
Speaker: You know, you forget about it and you, yeah, I was a brand new guy. It was a spiritual baptism. Yeah. You know, you, you, you're able to just almost hit a reset button and, and, and, you know, at the end of the day, like we've been saying tonight. Right. So what I do on Sundays, man, I reset on, on Sundays, I unplug and I reset on Sunday. You know, a lot of people like, well, like just, just, uh, you know, last weekend, um,
Speaker: You know, I did my reset on Monday and Connor tried reaching out to me and I was like, I'm at the back. I was like, Oh yeah, you know, everything's good. Don't worry about it. Um, you know, I just, I unplugged today. So, you know, nothing major, you know, but, um, that's what I do. I reset and that's, that's how I get ready for the, the week ahead of me. The, the, the stress of the week. I tried to kind of put them at bay and just kind of, you know,
Speaker: chill out and relax and, and prepare for the, for the next week's, uh, quote unquote war, so to say, but it all comes down to doing something that you enjoy doing something that you like. Like I said, for me, that's just going to add a whole new level of fucking stress and anxiety that I don't need to deal with. Cause I've got enough stress and anxiety on that plane. Yeah.
Speaker: the the the the the
Speaker: Yeah, right. I was looking to see. I was looking to see if it take five minutes. I don't know. It don't take five minutes. You know what? It's actually you're going with me. Oh, God. Don't take time. Hey, settle it down there, Squirrely Dan. I need you to take a little off the top there. I got a little bit ahead of Zoom meeting. I went and got some dinner. I got to be a work force. I ain't going to be up here all night with y 'all. What the hell is happening? It's Monday night. We're not going to be up here all night. We got an hour left of the show.
Speaker: Wow, Tony D coming on a podcast with food on Monday night. It's traditional be on a podcast on our podcast on Monday night. This is Monday nights. Tony D. I got to ask you because I always ask on the panel when they came up or when they come up. Uh, how, how was your week? How was your weekend? How's things going in your world? How you, how you doing, man? I want to say I'm back on pace with something keeps popping up every other week.
Speaker: It's mainly a lot of teams still got the muscle aches. Going back to work, not taking as much time off as I can. Feels pretty much at a point, so I'm trying to keep the work schedule going. With a lot of what I gotta do this year, so just pushing myself, pacing myself. Still get tired, but I'll go to work, come home and take a little bit of that photo sleep, because I still got residual fatigue, I say. Yeah.
Speaker: Not as bad as I was two years ago. Day by day, man. Yeah. And I'm pushing myself because I got to get shit out of the way. It's been long enough. So I'm telling myself to go. I just don't want to go through what I went through at one time when I was literally sitting in line with Overpass and just fell asleep. I don't want that no more. Well, hell, I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's that fucking itself is one thing, but I mean,
Speaker: How many times did you fall asleep when we, when you were, when you were on the show with us? I mean, yeah, that's what you think about it. Three times. I was working all days, a little bit home. Yeah. I mean, we'd be right in the middle of a show, having a great time, having great conversations and next thing, and Tony would be a part of the conversations. And the next thing you know, like that, no, no warning, nothing.
Speaker: No, it just, just lights out, man. And the first time we left it up and had a good laugh and made fun, but then when it went, and then after that, it was like, let me drop Tony down until he, until he comes back to it. And then once he came back to you, bring him back up, you know, but yeah, the first time it happened, it was just like, it was weird and random. What the hell is going on? And we kind of joked and laughed about it, but then we realized the situation. It was like, all right, we can't joke and laugh about this because it's a serious situation.
Speaker: Yeah, so we're going to drop him down until he comes back to life and then we'll bring you. Clear. Yeah. We are men caring for men, men taking care of stress. I'm quite sure you all covered a few things. Medicare for men. No, I said men caring for men. I heard Medicare for men. I heard that too. No, you keep a player. I know you keep an agenda. I know you all do things, but I would like to intercede if at all possible.
Speaker: the the
Speaker: They give us the energy to do this show. You know, do this show. And for me, they give me the energy to do this show and multiple other shows throughout the week that I that I partake in or that I host or whatever the case is ever W energy. The thing about W energy, unlike the overpriced big energy that's out there, there's no jitters and there's no crash. Not only that, but W energy actually tastes good. And it's got like good stuff in it. Vitamins and all that fun jazz.
Speaker: So they're going to make sure you're energized and focused and ready to go for the day. And they're not going to leave you with jitters or a crash because, you know, you drank one and then an hour later, you're like fucking hitting the wall. And then you got to drink two and then you drink three and then you drink four and then you're fucking jittery and your heart feels like it's going to explode and you're bouncing off the wall. Like you just gave a fucking orangutan cocaine. So join us at the non -sensible network as we wage war on big energy and head on over to w .gg who's our promo code words are hard.
Speaker: You're going to get yourself a little discount, save yourself some money and you're going to thank us later because it's better than any of those other energy drinks out there. And it's tastier than coffee. We're going to play a, I got a cover here of a matchbox twenties, unwell. Just a young man and a guitar doing a little matchbox 20. We'll be back here in just a few minutes.
Speaker: Staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on my wall And all night hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on
Speaker: Feeling like I'm in it for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little on my life right now You can't tell, but stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me, I'm not crazy
Speaker: me talking to myself in public and dodging glances on the train and I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper and it makes me think there must be something wrong with me out of all the hours thinking
Speaker: I've lost my mind I'm not crazy, I'm just a little lonely Well, I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little lonely But I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And I want you

Speaker: I like that kid. He's got a he's super talented. I've listened to some of his other stuff and I was certainly surprised that I seen that song come up because I was looking for that song and I didn't know that he had covered it.
Speaker: Uh, but anyways, welcome back to men caring for men. It is Monday night, Monday night motivation, Monday night, month mental health, men care men's mental health awareness, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. A whole bunch of stuff, but they're all around men's mental health. We got a panel of guys here and we're talking stress tonight.

Some of you guys may remember Tony from Mondays before when he when he used to be here with me. We got Brian in the building, the taco enthusiast himself. What are they about? Oh, she's here. Hey, yo, yo, yo.
Speaker: and my god my my because I'm left handed Connor so calm down my left hand man for Monday nights the one and only Connor AKA Mr. Glass. Fragile. Mr. Glass. Tonight and I and of course, I'm good. You guys know me. You know, I'm good. Uh we're talking we're talking stress tonight. We're talking stress. Uh what causes stress uh stress relief? It's just just in general, you know,
Speaker: We do have a lot of stress. We put a lot on our plates and we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. And one of the biggest things when it comes to that is stress. And, you know, we've been talking about some of the things that we do to relieve stress or, you know, some of the things that cause stress in our lives and whatnot. Right before I went to break Tony, we was just about to speak his mind, if you will. And,
Speaker: The fun thing about this show, the nice thing that I like about this show on, you know, where other shows that I do, it's kind of a free for all and craziness. We have a nice little, nice, we got a nice little round table conversation that we have here. Uh, so I want to go ahead and I want to, uh, go ahead and Tony right before we went to break, you were getting ready to say something. So I want to go ahead and give you the, uh, the stage, if you will, the podium.
Speaker: I just came here to act up. I ain't gonna lie. Y 'all been all serious. Oh god. Damn right. One thing a man needs to do the release of stress is activate a fool. Did you all see that Russell Wilson got released from the Denver Broncos? Yes. He's going to Pittsburgh. What's up, Steve? What I miss? Who the fuck cares? Denver Broncos fans. Yeah, Denver Broncos fans were kind of over him.
Speaker: Mike Evans got a two -year contract extension for decent amount of money. I mean, 57 million dollars. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Russell Wilson couldn't really cook his way out of fucking doing anything with the Broncos. I don't know what the hell happened with that situation. We talked about that more than once. Other than that, did you all see Chris Mortensen die? Rest in peace, Chris Mortensen. Yeah. Let's see that.
Speaker: I'm
Speaker: Did Jarvis just compare you to? Did Jarvis just compare you to vert? I'm gonna get his ass. I'm gonna get his ass. Bring your Napoleon down to my ass back to fuck up here. I'm gonna get you a little more. Napoleon. Bro. That's so mean. Jarvis just said Tony D is my Virgil. Oh, I'm sorry, Virgil. R .I .P. Virgil. R .I .P. Virgil. Are any of you crypto enthusiasts? Oh, God. Here we go. Another pyramid scheme.
Speaker: No, I don't do the pyramids. I came around. But did you see that Shiba Inu went up 700 % a couple days ago? Yeah, my brother, my older brother was telling me about that. That is major. That is major. Yeah, isn't that what Fireman Rich gets when he watches or listens to podcasts? No, he gets, he gets shitoshis. I've never heard of that. Yeah, I never, I thought it was, I couldn't remember. I know I had a weird name. Yeah, I got on that Shiba a couple years ago and just left it there.
Speaker: Which is what most people are supposed to do, but I'm not going to do all that crazy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Be ready. Back to men's health, back to stress. There's a new disease. People are going to find a big conspiracy. I already know it. It's called Disease X. I know what they're going to call it by gender. I talked about it last year when I broadcast it. Get up with any and every health condition you have now before this winter coming up. Never heard of it. I'll be 100 % honest with you. I haven't heard of it.
Speaker: I posted it. Um, you'll see it on my Twitter. They've been talking about a lot over the past few months. So, so what is, is it, is it, is it like, uh, is it like another COVID or is it like, uh, another, uh, uh, like a mental illness or something that it's going to be, it's going to, if this hits, they say this is going to make COVID like a walk in the park. So if this hits, you're going to see a new level of stress, anxiety, and depression, the way we had three, four years ago. And I'm not even going to play with it.
Speaker: COVID fucked people up. Whether you called it or not, you believed it or not. When's the last time you seen Vegas blacked out? Play with it if you want to. That's all I'm saying. No, I never said. ESPN didn't have nothing to talk about for a couple of days. If that doesn't hit you, I don't know what will. Well, like Brian said, I think it was, yeah, last week we were talking relationships and stuff last week here on the show. Like Brian said, you know, when COVID hit,
Speaker: And, and, and this is one of those factors that factor in distress and whatnot like that, whether you were taking a pay cut or you're losing your job or whatever the case may have been. You've seen a lot of you, you've seen, you've seen a lot of downfall or a major downfall in relationships because you would be with somebody and they were used to a lifestyle or whatever, or having that time apart, whether you guys were at work or whatever the case may be. But when COVID happened and.
Speaker: And again, when an epidemic hits, obviously, on the stress factor, if you're not working or if you're not going to work or you run the risk of losing your job or anything like that, that's going to be a huge stress element. I agree. Divorce is when breakups went up, domestic violence went up. Sexual assaults went up.
Speaker: sexual assaults went up, child deaths went up, gas went up, price of food went up, coins got short. And last but not least, McDonald's lost a steak egg and cheese with muffin and a steak egg and cheese bagel. I'm still mad about that one too. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's, it's, you know, and I haven't heard anything about this disease X, I'll be 100 % honest with you. I haven't heard anything about it, but you know, when the epidemic, you want to talk about stress. I mean, you know,
Speaker: me personally, and I and I speak for me personally, during COVID, my life didn't change at all. You know, I wasn't in fear of losing my job. I still want to work every day. I was making decent money and stuff like that. But I mean, I know, because when when we were going through COVID, Tony was on the show and Tony was with us and I watched, you know what it did to, you know, it changed Tony's life a lot. And I was actually two years after it started. Because it started 2020. Oh,
Speaker: I think 2021 I met you, and 2022 is when they hit me. It's been about two years, been two years since I first had it. And I got to be careful with allegations. This allegations actually feels different.
Speaker: I remember talking about that. Brown, we talked about it before. They talked about every possible transmission for COVID, but they never talked about what was being passed through allergens. Being there is viral. And that - Yeah, it's like, and then now they're talking about fluoride in the water. Oh, that's been happening. That's been there.
Speaker: Yeah, and then somebody else was saying, which is kind of like it's a little bit far fetched, but fine, I'll play along. But apparently like on the planes, when they let out the jet stream, it's like releasing. Manganese.
Speaker: I'll just say this, if you're a follower or if you're a dancer with conspiracy theory, I know like Connor and I, myself, we're not. We typically check out when conspiracy theories and conspiracy from this side and the other thing come up.
Speaker: Again, I mean, the conversation, we don't have to dive into them or anything like that, but it pertains to stress because if you are listening to them and you're watching them and like, you know, Brian and I have had conversations about different things and, you know, it's, I think it's gorgeous Brian Bitten and because I'll listen and, you know, he does, he knows I don't have a dog in the fight either way, but
Speaker: You know, that elevates your stress level at the end of the day. It's one of those stressors. Well, if I may, Gloop, the kicker with the pandemic, if you will, another one was the job, shutting down and not coming back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, a lot of people that people minimize anything. It was nothing about. I'm going to listen. You're talking about cats, built homes, raising families that got comfortable and all of a sudden.
Speaker: Now, you can't move. You can't afford your bills. You still got a family to support. This is why I'm door dashing to over eat drivers and all of I support them on purpose. A bunch of them are people who lost their jobs. Yeah, especially in the small towns. And I would say small is not the major metropolitan areas of your state. Yeah, I mean, I have friends.
Speaker: friends who during COVID went through that, both male and female friends and people I went to school with who went through that. And here we are, what, two years later, a year later, whatever the cage may be.
Speaker: they still haven't recovered from it 100%. And that's gonna create stress in your life because like you said, Tony, you build a house, you buy property, you got a wife and kids, and you're providing, and then all of a sudden that's yanked away from you by no control of your own. Or your bosses, or you hire your reps of anybody that you just - Yeah, I mean, yeah, like my hammer bros out in the oil field, I mean, they got furloughed.
Speaker: And luckily most of them had enough money to hold them over. But yeah, a lot of the guys that, that are working for the oil in the oil field were from small towns where you blink, you passed it up. I mean, so when they got furloughed, it sucked. However, though, luckily enough, most of them got their CDLs and they're just doing, they're being, they're working on the rigs, you know, driving, driving up and down, making their yeah. So they're like, at least that was like their saving grace that they got CDLs.
Speaker: the stuff like that's more. We got to be careful. Let's see what Elphaba says down there. But we're, I think he's got another aspect that might be with the stimulus checks. I get that. That's all of the situation. Well, and that's, and that's another thing that, I mean, um, you know, it's affected everybody. And that's a, and again, I hate to keep saying this, but we're talking about stressors and we're talking about things that, that creates stress just your normal, normal day to day life at work.
Speaker: Yes. Nobody can keep anybody. You know what I mean? Like nobody, you know, in my line of work, I'm in property management. I deal with contractors every day, every single day at work. I'm dealing with a contractor some way, shape or form. And I hear all these companies and these, and these poor guys at these companies that are sticking there and sticking around and staying around first and foremost, they're not, they're not, they're not be, they're not, um,
Speaker: What's the word I'm looking for? They're not. We don't know. Well, they're not, they're not being, they're not giving the credit. You know, these, these guys that are sticking around and, and, and, and being there for the tough times, they're not getting raises or any other benefits or, or any other perks from being there. And they can't keep anybody. I mean, every, every contractor I deal with, with every company I deal with is.
Speaker: And I hear the same story. I'm so fucking busy. I, you know, I, I haven't been home in, in, in four days. Yeah. You know, because we were so shorthand or I call it, or I call a business and I'm like, Hey, you know, I need to have you guys look at this, this, that, or the other thing for me. And they're like, Hey, we're, we're slammed solid. It's probably going to be a couple of weeks. Is that okay? If it's an emergency, we'll try to get somebody out there ASAP. But.
Speaker: short -handed. We don't have the so you know that whether it be on the employees myself who needs to get work done and needs these contractors to get it done uh if the companies that that that stress level is is going to be elevated for everybody in in the in the picture everybody in this scenario or scenario however you want to say it is is is
Speaker: that that stress levels being elevated and it's something that's out of our control because you can't find like, like elk just said down there, nobody wants to work anymore. Nobody wants to go to work. Nobody wants to, wants to, there's too many benefits out there or whatever the case may be. But at the end of the day, it creates, and then that's the stress and that stress that you're dealing with at work you're bringing home. Yes. Yes. Not properly handling or dealing with it or,
Speaker: or trying to, on the civilian side, every military side, 100 % agree with your other aspect, because I've seen it. And if people don't believe it, but trust me, the way you talk to your family, if you talk to your family like you talk at work, that's a problem. If you talk it down to people, that's good. Did you spend talking to them like it's a business? That is a factor for a lot of relationships as well.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, like a lot of, a lot of stressors too, like guys, guys having to get early retirement, guys had to take a pay cut, guys had to reduce from a five bedroom house to a three bedroom house. Still, it's still in a decent area, but it's like what they could swing and it's just like, and then their, their wife, girlfriend, like, oh, they're having an issue with it because their lavish lifestyle has interrupted now. So.
Speaker: You know what I mean? Try to live that lavish lifestyle. Try to do what you want to do. A lot of people got chill with that aspect. You got to maintain what you got before you can do what you want to do. Don't just open up. You got to cut the book off. And I know it's been a minute, bro. I apologize. But we got to talk to these motherfuckers. Because a bunch of y 'all got y 'all stresses fucked up. You don't know what's wrong with y 'all. I'll tell you what's wrong with you. Most of us are living beyond our means. I say me, myself included.
Speaker: You see how much I go out to eat. You see how much I eat when I cook. You know how much I do with my son as a parent. All of us have these factors. One of the biggest stress that people don't realize, when you make money, you're only thinking about the gross income. You don't think about the net income. You don't think about what's going to happen at the deductions. And that's where your debt of stress starts. That's where everybody making any income whatsoever. I made $35 an hour. Yeah, but you want to bring home $17. Sit your ass down.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, like other people that move like they had to move out of their little nice little apartment and then they're moving back with their mom and pops out in whatever town they're from. And then they have to work remote. That's a huge stressor. I think you guys said it forced into early retirement. I mean, Connor can speak from that firsthand. He didn't do anything.
Speaker: Yeah, from his situation, I agree. Yes. He was building a career. Am I right, Connor? He was building a career in the military. And he's talked about it on the show and he was forcing early retirement. Now he's a stay -at -home bitch. I mean... I'm kidding. You know I love you, Connor. Bye, Connor. Are you going to pull a Jeff on me, Connor? Did he leave?
Speaker: You know, I love you, but you know, you know, it was it was tough for sure. I mean, like just like you said, Chris, I mean, I was building a I was trying to build a career and something that I genuinely I loved that job. And I'm lucky that I was working with the military and somebody who
Speaker: I mean they know that happens to their people so It's set up so that if I if something like what happened to me happens there that I'm taking care of So I'm lucky in that I even though I can't do what I want to do anymore I'm taking care of some of these people got Laid off from their job. They got a severance package. That was two months worth of pay and they told me good fucking luck you know, and so I can only imagine getting a career taken away from you and I
Speaker: Having to find something else completely because it's just that career stuff career fails just gone. Yes To I can tell you how difficult it was for me to figure out the fact that What I thought I was gonna be and what I wanted to be was no longer even kind of sort of attainable anymore and It's an it's a whole identity crisis and you talk about stress. I mean I was
Speaker: trying to figure out what the fuck I was going to do with my life. I was like, yeah, okay. I get my, I get my paycheck every month and it's pointed to pay the bills, but I've got no passion. What I, what I was, what I was passionate about and where my heart was at and where my brain was at was, was all wrapped up in this one thing that got taken away from me. And now I've got to figure out something else that I can be that passionate about. And when COVID happened that happened to people and they have no,
Speaker: the the
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: Mike your boy Mike Evans got got resigned. I hope you're happy Yeah Yeah, no, I mean Sometimes and that's the other thing, you know, I'm deal. I'm dealing with that right now. I've got something that's completely out of my control I I can't do anything with it with work, but you know, I'm
Speaker: It's a hell of a comment. Put that on the screen, please. Put that on the screen, please. Thank you, Dorian. Yeah. 100%. I agree with that. 100 % agree. Uh, you know, you know, I'm dealing with something at work right now. It's 100 % out of my control out of my hands. I, and that's, you guys tease and you joke and you joke with me and you bust my balls about.
Speaker: You know, it's my show. You do everything. I don't like, I don't like not having my hands on the steering wheel. I'll be 100 % honest with you. I'm not a control freak, but when it comes, I don't like having my hand. Shut up, Tony.
Speaker: I don't like the end of the day, man. And I have no control over the situation I'm in right now. And it's fucking with me. Like it's really fucking with me. And then I'm cotton limbo. I'm like, I'm kind of in purgatory with the situation because I don't know. Do I wait it out or do I start, you know, trying to move forward and advance away from it?
Speaker: You know, I'm in that weird, that weird state, that weird state of mind. He will check the email. I got to tell you on Glitch, I saw you have a job one way or another. It's just, it's, it's a weird situation. And once everything, and I said this before.
Speaker: I don't want to talk about it right now, but once everything is finalized and once everything comes out, everything's whatever, whatever the situations goes, uh, you know, I've always been set brutally honest with you guys. I, I, uh, you know, I don't hold back on a lot of things, but once everything's finalized, once everything's figured out and situated, I will share the whole story and the whole situation. But right now I'm stressing the hell out. I'm freaking the hell out. And I don't know.
Speaker: You have to right now you have to yeah, but I but in the meantime because I'm stuck in purgatory with this situation it's like Yes, you don't think you can do it right now. It's just breathe and just take a yes go with it Just roll with the punch just breathe. That's that's what I'm doing. It's just a you know Where I'm at right now and I'm trying to make the best out of it. I actually
Speaker: So I will say this, I got moved to a new property. And I love the property. I love the property. I'm not a big fan. I was never a big fan of anything residentially related, even when I was at Orkin, especially in the field that I'm in now with building maintenance and stuff. I've never been a big fan of anything residential. However, I'm in a residential setting now. I love the property. I love the location. The tenants that I've met are incredible. It was super nice people.
Speaker: They heard about me. They did their homework on me. They were excited to meet me. They were excited for me to be in their building. I think that's where my, the situation I'm in is going to benefit me because these are not your average one run of the mill people. These are people that are, have a lot of money and have some power here and there, you know, so they were excited for me to be there in their building. They were excited to meet me and they've been great. The people I've met, they've been,
Speaker: super positive, super uplifting, and, and, and really just gave me that extra boost of confidence with right now that I really needed at the end of the day. Yeah, good. It's like one day at a time. That's why I said I'm confident. I'm going to land on my feet. Everything will be all right. But in the meantime, while I'm stuck in this area, a limbo, I'm freaking out. So, you know, my stress has been.
Speaker: up here for the last month and a half or something like that now. But it's out of my control. And I think it's the other thing that's added stress on it because I don't like not control. As Tony hits you with the finger. God, I can't wait to throw you out of a plane.
Speaker: Which which is I'm gonna segue to my next thing Tony You're not far from New Orleans. I'm not far from New Orleans when this little Wookie Sasquatch motherfucker shows up to New Orleans He wants to go swimming with the Gators, but Bro, you ain't gonna be swimming with the Gators. You're gonna be out in the glades with the fucking pythons the glaze The Glies are in Florida. I'm on a boat
Speaker: Yeah, we're going to be on the airboat, but but he wants to be. But but yeah, he wants to do a meetup in New Orleans. Who does click? That's what that's where you get married. Yeah. I wouldn't mind going to New Orleans because like New Orleans is like five and a half hours from me driving. It's about six legally for me. Maybe seven. I like the caveat, Tony, legally. I've actually driven back and made it back in.
Speaker: I mean, I want to say about four and a half, five hours. Yeah, I would have passed that. Like me, I got to play careful. I have to play careful for is like going crossing over from Texas and Louisiana, that long stretch all the way to Lafayette.
Speaker: laugh yet. But uh it's it's all like state troopers. It's it's all Louisiana state troopers. It's like I gotta play it cool. Well, I'm fine. I tend right by if for those who don't know, I've driven to Mississippi at New Orleans a few times and thank you, Michael. I passed the state line while I've been in Mississippi is yeah. It could be a couple bridges. If there's an accident, your ass is stuck.

Speaker: Yeah, I want to do an airboat trip as well. I want to do an airboat trip. He was flipping with the Gators. They're going to like. He's going to come back with like an radiator belt. I already told him, I already told him, I was like, when I went down, when I went down to Montague, which is on the southern, southern part of Louisiana, like deep southern, where everybody's talking about, yeah, we go out there on the boat down there. When they talk like that.
Speaker: I on the way to Montague going through Houma going through Houma you got gators chilling on people's yards like just relax it yeah I took a photo of it I took a photo and when I had Instagram at the time I took a photo of it now but meanwhile back in Houma
Speaker: that's a
Speaker: I could go out there at any given time and there might be a gator just chilling out in my backyard. I learned that Gators could fucking climb because I walked out on my back patio and I had a, and I had a, uh, the big wooden privacy fence. And I went out on my back patio one time. This is when I still smoked and, uh, I walked out there to smoke a cigarette and I walked out. I got a beer in my hand. I'm looking at my phone, you know, I'm looking at sports stuff and why my cigarette and I look up and there's a goddamn gator just staring at me.
Speaker: I'm like, bro, what are you doing? So I walked over and just mushed him off the fence. Half of my testosterone. Look at it. I just walked over, mushed him off the fence. He fell and I said, hey, hey, no, like you're not allowed over here, homie. And he just goes back over to the pond. They showed his alligator climbing a fence. I was done.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. I didn't really get time. I was done. I'm like, this is going to really happen. I'm off with a clown offense comfortably.
Speaker: yeah i mean i mean because we we have we have reza's been uh state park and somebody recorded it on and it's on youtube but it was on one of the hiking trails and this big massive 14 and a half 15 footer just walking right going from walking out of the trees crossing over the trail and into the swamp and everybody's just recording it and they're saying it is a big massive beast and i'm going
Speaker: Well, I mean, I've had my I had my encounters at Brazos Bend State Park. I've had my encounters at Huntsville State Park, Huntsville State Park. I was 15 years old fishing and all of a sudden like I was an amateur. Didn't know any better, but I had a bobber and next you know I see a little alligator head pop up right next to the bobber and I'm like reeling in it slowly. I'm like no no and it's following the bobber.
Speaker: And I said, fuck it. Took my pocket. I've clipped the line like, nope, not today. Not today. Not today. Not today, Satan. I'm like, I'm cool. I'm cool with two catfish. I'm cool. I'm good. Tony, Tony, I want to ask you something real quick. We're talking about stress. Obviously, alligators are a stressor for Tony. All the animals that I can't beat. You're right. Go ahead. I can't wait to wrestle alligators. And I said, wrestle.
Speaker: Dude, you're going to jump off that fucking fan boat into there and go get a gator. I might. Like I said, clicks coming back from New Orleans with. We'll be on the boat. He'll be he'll be having the gator belt. I'm going to have a gator belt, gator skin boots, and mama's going to have a gator skin purse. An alligator. Well, I wrestled an alligator.
Speaker: I brought the meat home and Brian's coming to Ohio and he's going to cook it. But Tony, I want to ask you, you know, we're talking about stress and stuff like that. And I asked all the other guys. And I think I think we've all had pretty, pretty much similar answers to this question. But what is it? What is it that you do? And what is it that you find that helps you alleviate stress? I'll take a nap.
Speaker: Yeah, we know you take naps. Well, the kicker is a lot of people are stressed because they don't rest themselves. You already don't diet properly. You already push yourself too hard. You don't sleep. That's what the hell is wrong with half the people out here.
Speaker: And that's absolute truth. Sleep deprivation is the big problem or the biggest cause of a lot of issues in people. I actually listened to Dick Gregory talk about that. It made total sense. Everybody is pushed every day. Whether you could deal with it or not, your body designed to live or work or exert itself a certain number of hours in a day, we're always pushing it. You gotta sleep for your body to regenerate. You also gotta be hydrated. You also gotta have a proper diet. We don't eat properly. We're not properly hydrated. Let's just be 100, okay?
Speaker: We're not. So I'll try to sleep. I try to eat. I will shit three times a day. I don't care. You got to clean the body out.
Speaker: What's up? How you doing? I'm just saying you gotta relax yourself. You gotta eat right? You got it. We don't exercise people. Let's just be 100. We said that said work. That said work with your lunch break when I come home. I'll take about an hour to a decent three hour nap will clear your head to where things won't bother you anymore. You all have got to sleep. We don't get eight hours a day.
Speaker: in the first place, even if you got to spread out the eight hours during the day, you should have a six consecutive non -disturbed sleep at least, just for your body to act right. Until then, you're going to have issues. Honor percent. Take a break. Take a break.
Speaker: You know, well, and that's the other thing. I mean, you know, we said it earlier in the show when, when, when, when we're stressed out and we're dealing with stress and stuff like that, it affects our sleep habits. Yes. You know, mental health in general is going to affect your sleep. If your tank is on empty or, or you're dealing with a lot of issues when it comes to mental health.
Speaker: It affects your sleep habits as I said for me personally when I start slipping and I start falling into this bad place or this bad zone, whatever you wanna call it. Not only am I restless and as I said at the beginning of the show, I mean, the whole show my legs have been going a million miles an hour, but
Speaker: When I'm dealing with stuff for me personally, I have the nightmares and the night terrors and it fucks up my sleep. Yes. So we're not getting, you know, we're not sleeping properly. So, you know, when you can sneak in a nap, whether it be on your lunch break, because standing there, look at it, it's your lunch break. It is your time. You can do whatever you want with it. Or if you come home and you're, I mean, I took a little short nap today because I got to be honest with you, man. And then, and with what I'm going through.
Speaker: right now personally and stuff like that. My stress is elevated and I took like a quick half hour nap tonight while Nicki was cooking dinner and she woke me up just to see if I wanted to eat. Cause she didn't want, you know, she's like, ah, I didn't know if you wanted to eat. I didn't know if you were going to be mad if you didn't eat, but she woke me up. So, but I took that little nap and it was, it was a nice little, it was a nice little refresher. I woke up feeling a little bit better. Um,
Speaker: And then I ate and I played a little bit of video games before the show. Um, but I started feeling better, but because of what I'm going through personally is what helped me to be able to deal with the idea of what we were going to talk about on tonight's show with it being stress and whatnot. Um, you know, it's, it's, and I also, this is one of the things that doing this show, I have to be better about, you know, letting, informing the guys. So.
Speaker: topic that we're going to talk about. And I didn't have one until today. I mean, until I was on my way back from PA this this morning, and then it was like, boom, this is what we're going to talk about is stress. So I mean, is that one of the only things you really do like to alleviate stress is just just kind of nap or anything? Or do you do anything else? No, not anymore. I used to go to gym.
Speaker: Watching comedies is good. Done stuff to busy myself. I've put off anything that I procrastinated. I cleaned up. I've done a lot of things. What I realized is I got to let my mind rest. We don't let our mind relax. We're always racing, trying to figure something else. I'm trying to do something else. I'm trying to find something the past time, trying to make our day be worth something. If you relax, your day is worth it. You have to allow your body to regenerate to be able to tackle shit. If you don't, you can't tackle anything properly.
Speaker: Yeah. I was watching Star Trek all weekend. I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean all weekend. I went to worst set in morning. It was a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon. It was all Saturday and Sunday. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I watched it. All the classic movies, all the next generation movies. We did talk about the wank. We did talk about it earlier. The cry wank and cry.
Speaker: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: Uh huh. Is that a better explanation or how? I can explain it. Uh let me see. Here we go. Have I been going that long? Here we go. Uh I came back before you showed this video. Hurry the **** up. That **** right? Oh, go have a crying away, Tony. He's a little guy too.
Speaker: That is a good ten footer. That is a good ten footer. 3 ,000 pounds per square inch of their bike. That is not little. That is a ten footer. Be wary. That's the one Glick's going for. Shit. They're waiting on his ass too. He might spit him out because he's too salty.
Speaker: the the the the
Speaker: the conversation like he has kind of fucking ever since Tony came in here kind of went
Speaker: the show, so
Speaker: But, you know, it's like monster truck tires on that. Yeah, I would do that. Then I'll go. Oh, you'll even get my ass out in the Everglades with that. All right. The the unfortunate thing was stress, you know, as we as we have the conversation and sorry, Tony, but you're the oldest guy in here. You're the oldest person in the panel. But
Speaker: you know, the experts say that, you know, levels of stress and that rise, they rise with age. Elevated levels of cortisol and aging are associated with higher levels of a psychosocial stress. Is it cortisol? I'm not an expert. I'm just reading off what the experts say.
Speaker: um uh psychosocial stress poor um that's a big word cognitive uh performers we're gonna do it what is Steve Harvey record record
Speaker: Cognitive performance and atrophy of memory related structures in the brain such, you know, uh, such as, uh, hippocampus. So, I mean, it is as you get older and it's not a shot at you or it's not a dig or anything. I'm just, I'm asking a legitimate question as you being the oldest guy on the panel. And I know you're in your fifties. Uh, you don't look like it, but yeah, I'm jealous of that. Uh, but as we all know, black don't crack.
Speaker: have you noticed as you've gotten older that your stress levels, whether they be more or have you noticed that the stressors affect you differently than they did when you were in your 30s or 40s?
Speaker: I've noticed my memory is low. I'm losing some of the memory I used to have. I used to be able to remember everything. I can't remember as much anymore. I knew that. I knew that. I was just reading what the experts say because I tried to bring the experts into this show. Honestly, your memory will start to drift a little bit. My focus... Shut up, Mark. My tolerance is lowering.
Speaker: I'm pretty tired of a lot of things, so that's lowering. That's probably coming with age. I'm not going to put up as much bullshit as I used to. That doesn't help at all, trust me. It doesn't. But those changes will come in. Honestly, God damn sure it will be worse. Also, some body pains, they do increase. They do increase. And this isn't even so much exercise. Agree. You start a slouch.
Speaker: I didn't realize how bad I was. I really didn't. And I look at every now and then when I go places, I see people, especially when I've been seeing my family more than anything over the past couple of years. I do see a difference. My mother told me she could see how I've kind of tilted a little bit and everything. That's why I started going to the chiropractor so much. She actually made me more aware of it. And I mean, I think I can ask Connor the question. Obviously, he has, being the youngest guy on the panel, he's probably got more body aches and pains, more pain and
Speaker: the the
Speaker: Like if it's something that's chronic where you just get tired of dealing with being in pain 24 seven, especially if it's the same body part over and over and over and over and over again, that shit is fucking, it's miserable. It becomes all you focus on. You know what I mean? So it's, it's definitely stressful as to that. That was just one more fucking thing, you know,
Speaker: Um, if you have any anxious pain that you've been ignoring until you get the relief, you will relax either. I have noticed that, um, with the back issues I've had, I'll do this after I go to chiropractor, I do sleep better because you got anxious pain, try to put up to the side of your brain. You got to knock it out and get it fixed. Then your body can relax properly. Even subconsciously, your body will keep you awake with your stress. Hmm.
Speaker: Well, like you said earlier, Tony, that lack of sleep just in general, it just, it, it, it, it, it'll, if you're already stressing over things and you're not sleeping properly, um, it elevates that level of stress as it is, you know what I mean? So, you know, you got, and then, and then, so Connor, you're, you're, you're in your twenties still, caddy's such a baby. So both of you, this motherfucker. Yeah. Wow. Six is a baby.
Speaker: The Glick saw the age of the dinosaurs Yes, he did. Yeah, when I was I was out there fighting some t -rexes He was also the first caveman
Speaker: You know, for the first time in my life, uh, you know, recently I, you know, up until, well, Mark, that is a true statement. That's a true statement.
Speaker: Yeah. That's interesting.
Speaker: but you know the same the same question you know i'm gonna ask carl what you did because team is you know what alissa kiss my fucking ass jesus great holy shit the dolphins could hear you yeah like and you went high up in the air motherfucker you're close to 32 alissa who was the crypto keeper it's the crypto
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: other, you know, the other issues in your medical and stuff like that, your body breaking down. Have you noticed as you've gotten older and I went from the oldest guy to the youngest guy on the panel, do you find yourself being stressed over things that, I don't know, let's say six years ago, you wouldn't have stressed or stressed over. Um, yes and no. I mean, the things that stress me out are just completely different.
Speaker: then when I was probably in like high school or something like that. Like I've got, I got three kids and I'm, I'm married and buying a house. And it's just, it's just different, uh, stressors. Uh, when I was 18, I mean, the only stressor that I had was the them was the military because
Speaker: I was making enough money to pay all my bills. I didn't really have any, anybody that I was with. That was my housing was taken care of. My food was taken care of. Everything was, uh, everything was chill. And now it feels like the stressors in my life maybe have grown, but they're, they're different. Different. Yeah. Yeah. As we get older and you know, and I don't mean to disrespect to Brian or Jarvis because
Speaker: your own self or okay, Connor, we get it. Well, we're kind of, well, we're kind of in the middle here because you know, Connor still being in his twenties. And again, Tony, it's not a dig or anything like that. You know, you being in your fifties, I mean, we went from the youngest to the oldest. So the spectrum, you know, we can only add to, yeah, obviously as we get older, we, we worry about things. We stress about things, you know, and like I said earlier, I don't, I,
Speaker: Sorry to repeat myself because apparently that's a bad thing to some people and we do that a lot on this show because we have the conversations But as you get older as you age and as life Quote unquote gets more difficult You know in general and I'm just saying in general Men have a tendency to carry the weight of our weight of the world on our shoulders
Speaker: You know, there's more responsibilities. There's more, uh, whatever the case may be. So that way it gets heavier and heavier. Now, yes, everybody does carry weight on their shoulders to some degree, but as men, we, we have a tendency to carry more and we have a tendency to put more on ourselves because of society, because of the societal norm and everything like that.
Speaker: It's, you know, I, you know, I had to stop saying like, this is not a taught thing. It's, it's, it's, it's just naturally ingrained in, in our DNA. Also taught. It's also taught. It is taught. It is, it is 100 % taught, but I mean, if you go back to the dawn of time, the dawn of man, quote unquote, it is in all your history books and everything you read and everything like that. It's a part of our DNA at this point in time.
Speaker: She's correct No There's different factors because I remember when I was 16 years old I got stressed out because I didn't know if I was gonna have fucking beer money for the weekend You know or stressed out because I didn't know if I was gonna you know go to a bonfire with a girl or or
Speaker: you know, meet a girl on a bonfire because we had bonfires in my neck of the woods where I was from here in Ohio, you know, like, I didn't know that's the, you know, I didn't, or, or I would get stressed out because, you know, you know, I played football and, and, and, and we watched tapes and I'm like, fuck, man, there was a hole right there. I could have picked up 20 yards, but instead I went this way and I got 10 yards. You know what I mean? Like that was the thing that stressed me out.
Speaker: or I played baseball and it was like, you know, if I would have stepped into that a little bit harder, it would have been a home run instead. It was a, it was a, it was a double. You know what I mean? Like those were the stressors. I didn't, I didn't stress about homework or schoolwork or anything like that. I'll be one of them. Well, there was a lot of banjos playing at those, uh, on fires that he went to. Okay. First and foremost, there might've been one banjo there.
Speaker: but it was a different banjo than the banjo that was playing in that Bart Reynolds movie. Deliverance. Yeah, deliverance. And I do think, I do think, agreed again, agreed again. I do think as we get older, I mean, you're talking to a guy, and I know, I know, Connor, you're a father, but you got young ones, and Tony, he's a father, he's got older children, and I'm a father, and you know, you know,
Speaker: My, my son doesn't stress about anything. He's the baby. My middle daughter, she's stressing about a math grade, but she puts a lot of, a lot of, she, she pushes herself to be better in school. You know, my oldest daughters, as far as school goes, she should be more stressed out about it. But at the end of the day, she's more worried about the drama that's going on with her and her friends. But as we get older, I agree.
Speaker: were they bonfires or they were bonfires ma 'am first and foremost they were bonfires they're the ones that would end up on youtube or tick tock okay well no i mean you i mean i could be stressed out about the fucking cleveland browns and somebody else is going to go
Speaker: Why are you fucking stressed about the Cleveland Browns? Like Jeff, if Jeff was here, you'd be like, why are you stressed about football? You don't like sports. Or the fact that apparently the New York Jets have traded Zach Wilson to McDonald's for a Big Mac, a medium fry, and a medium Diet Coke. You know, tell me if I'd be stressed about that. My eye was coming up. Hurry up. Zach Wilson. I'm going to go over there. Yeah, me too.
Speaker: But, you know, as we get older, we, we, we, the stresses, the stresses are, and you can't say, well, your stress is less than my stress. Yes. You can't do that. I agree. But as we get older, we also learn how to, when we're younger, we learn how to deal with it. But as we get older, there seems to be more stress factors as we get older than when we were young at the end of the day is basically long way around it. Short story, long story short, more younger.
Speaker: It's trivial things at the end of the day, but it seems like the world's coming to an end because that's all we know. But as we get older, there's more stresses. I can look back on 16 -year -old me and go, bro, what were you worried about, man? You had the world in your palm.
Speaker: Not one, but two good jobs. You, you were, you played sports out of bad looking guy. I mean, you know, not, not a terrible looking guy. You're not the greatest looking guy, but you know, and then I'm like, and even at 18, you know, at 18, I'm still in high school. I have my own place. I have two, two jobs. I'm making really funny. You know, I'm doing all this stuff. I'm going to high school and my grades are good, but I still stressed. But I, 40, 42 year old me can go 18 year old Glick.
Speaker: I'm the **** down, bro. Yeah. You hit forty -two. Let me tell you a story. Sit down. You know, I was up back. I have a letter to me. A little bit. My soul's open. Had everything taken care of. So, I had some time. I'm Steve. Good seeing you. Brian, you know, I'll catch up with you. Go to hell. Head first. Your hands out behind your back in front of a Japanese bullet train going downhill from a volcano. Still
Speaker: Hey, just remember you got to go polish the titles later on. No, I got my whole time. Yeah. I got to get going. We got to walk the dog and then I got to make my dinner for tomorrow. I'm going to see y 'all around for real. Please y 'all. See you later. Appreciate y 'all. Yeah. I got to get going too. Yeah. I got to make my lunch for tomorrow and I got to take the dog out. Just open the door.
Speaker: the fifth
Speaker: the the the the the the the the the the
Speaker: Connor's doing a little stretch the leaf right now as we speak. Yeah, I don't have time to do that. Let's go to the bathroom. It takes you 15 seconds. What are you talking about? I don't have time. Jesus age. Christ. No, these narcotics make it impossible or not. Let me tell you, we all are horrible.
Speaker: Why are we horrible? We're not horrible. We just have the balls to say it. If you ever tried to beat off on narcotics, that shit's fucking it's like. Oh, dude, on antidepressants, it's fucking a bitch just trying to fucking not. Well, that's. Wait, what? Connor was talking about shit and you're like, it's hard enough.
Speaker: Yeah, let's talk about shitting too. Yeah. Yeah. That's what Connor was talking about. Yeah. Don't trust me. I got a Snapchat. He's definitely talking about shit. Oh, yeah. No, I also can't shit on narcotics. No, no, I believe me. You cannot. It's borderline impossible to nut if you're if you're on narcotics.
Speaker: You'll be on the toilet for a half hour if you're trying to ring out the rag over the toilet, man. Yeah, let's not have one of our topics be, hey, on narcotics, is it easier to take a shit or not? Yeah, well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's easier to not. OK, first, 100 % easier to not.
Speaker: No, not that. No. So, you know, I refuse. I don't, I don't, I don't take anti -depressions or anti anxiety pills or, uh, you know, I had surgery several years ago and, um, after the first day I stopped taking them because the way they affected my body and the way I felt because I don't take drugs. So what do you expect?
Speaker: Even your normal, you know, being put under for surgery affects me way more than it affects the normal person. Like when I had that surgery, you know, they're like, Oh, you know, he should be awake like an hour after the surgery. It was like three hours late and I woke up and I had a team of doctors like standing over me going,
Speaker: And that's what I woke up to. And I was just like, what the fuck? And they're like, well, you've been out a lot longer than you should have been. You know, okay. I was like, can you guys move? I got a piss. And that was a good thing, apparently. Apparently I wasn't going to go home until I pissed. And the fact that I woke up from anesthesia and had to piss, that was a good thing. That was a solid thing. But I was still high as fuck, you know,
Speaker: the the
Speaker: Let's be honest, it's not going to take much to hurt him at the end of the day. All you got to do is put my phone at the top of the stairs. God damn it. Why is Connor laying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs? He went up two steps. He hasn't moved in three days. As Connor said, he compared himself to a three legged turtle.
Speaker: That's correct. You were warned. I mean, Helen, Helen, calm down, Deborah, Helen. But. No, I mean. Yeah, so are we going to take sideways turns on Mondays? Yeah, we're going to take absolutely going to take turns on Monday. But I think we had a good conversation tonight, guys. I think I think we had I think we had a good conversation. I think we had, you know, we
Speaker: We talked a bit about, you know, obviously the topic with being stressed and stuff like that. And, you know, at the end of the day, the cool thing about it is we're going to have, we're going to have topics that we want to talk about, but it's going to relate to our personal lives. And, you know, for me personally, this, this, this was good for me. You know, I can't, I can't speak for.
Speaker: Connor or Steven. This is good for me because I'm super stressed out like super fucking stressed out. And then coming home today and processing things and dealing with things and whatnot with the situation. I just, I was maxed out, man. And it was like,
Speaker: I'm still kind of freaking out, but I got, I got, I got, I got hope. I'm holding on to, I'm trying to be positive. I'm, you know, cause me, I'm the type of person that I go instantly to the worst of the worst case scenario that there is. Um, but I'm trying to stay positive. I'm trying to keep that peace of mind up with the things that I'm dealing with right now and the things I'm going through me personally. Um, I'm trying to at least see that little, that little glimmer of hope, that little glimmer of positivity.
Speaker: Hold on to it and hope for the best even though Outwardly and what people hear is like Yeah, well, it's gonna be the end all be all this is gonna be my hero's human I'm gonna get fucking nuked, you know across the board at the end of the day. Yeah Well this yeah Monday nights are
Speaker: Monday nights are good. You get to come on here and be real for a little bit and just kind of fucking you'd say what you need to say. And we, we have these topics and we, we can focus what we're going through. And, and, and, uh, we have a chance to kind of focus on what, what it is. God, I had something that I was going to say in my head and it just like,
Speaker: My brain was like, here's what what you need to say. And it was like a thought. We're there. No, we're not. It's gone. Yeah. Fuck. I can't hold my dog feet a little bit because he's my friend. She would is surrounded. Mark, I promised to pee a little bit if we ever meet in person. I'll pee on your carpet if you want me to. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker: trust me, Alyssa, your boy is taking a lot of breaths. The fact that I haven't killed anybody speaks a volume. Especially on Saturday. You know, it speaks volumes. As I said, unfortunately in all 51 states or 52 states, I don't know.
Speaker: You know what? I don't know how many people you want. I don't know if we're considering Puerto Rico state yet or not. I don't know. But yeah, you know, unfortunately, it's still illegal to do the things that I do. So yes, I do take a lot of deep breaths. I do. I try to look at the good things in my life, like Nikki and the kids. And you know, even even when Nikki and I are going through it, we're struggling or whatever. She's still a positive.
Speaker: Part of my life and it's a relationship. I mean you're gonna struggle in relationship. It's not perfect You know, but I try to look at the things in my life and and I try to take a breath But you know, it's like Look Whoever you are that playing this fucking game with my life You know, I've been through it. Oh, I've seen it. You know, I've done this dance How much more are you gonna fucking try me and test me? until I freak
Speaker: I'm like the guns of the Navarone. I'm TNT motherfucker I Gotta watch pop I gotta watch pulp fiction Absolutely. Just just just just remember every once in a while. I'm talking to the guys I'm talking to I'm talking to the guys out there. I'm talking to our guys. I'm talking to our mood But this is this is solid advice for everybody
Speaker: continue the day whether you're man, woman, child, whatever the case may be. Just remember, just remember three simple words. Take a break. Take a break. CWC. Huh? CWC, cry, wank, cry. W -W -W -N -N -D. What would nonsense go nonsense, dude? Come on, Glick. God. No, I don't. I was.
Speaker: W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W.
Speaker: All of us were the Navy. Jeff. Jeff. Jeff Polish off the real champion. Oh, I wonder, I wonder who outranks who you or Jeff. Hello, hello. I can hear you, Connor. Yeah, we can hear you. I don't know what the fuck just happened.
Speaker: Actually, I know you don't ring Jeff because Jeff was over in the Navy, but I can hear you now. I'm just kidding. I don't know if he was or not, but maybe. Maybe. Jeff, Jeff. Yes, he was in the Navy. I can tell who that was too loose to be Air Force. So he's also just a raging homo, so. Oh God, here we go. Wait a minute.
Speaker: Like I always say to Steven, relationship is healthy if you don't. Yeah, exactly. You got to eat like our speed wagon once said you're going to ride the storm out. Got taken on the run. You know, I mean, that's that's that sounds a little grapey, Jarvis. No, that's our speed wagon. There's also better. Good God. Wait a minute.
Speaker: Okay Midnight Rider calm down there Glick. I love the Family Guy episode where they're on the cruise and they find out that Bob Welch died so the whole time they're on there it keeps playing sentimental lady.
Speaker: I was watching a family guy episode last night and Peter walks up to this this dude at the bar and he's like trying to make up for something and he's like, you know, I'm going to let you sleep with my with my sister or with my daughter or something like that. He's like, oh, who is it? And he points out some random chick in the fucking in the at the bar. And the dude goes, can you make sure she screams and cries? He's like, I think we can arrange that for you.
Speaker: I got to watch Family Guy again. It's been so long for the worst. Sorry, Stephen said great. I thought of episode last night. So that's what we've been watching lately to go to bed, too, because I'm out from the from the murder ships. Yeah, take time from the murder shows and watch great shows. But
Speaker: No, I I do. Connor, you said for a title of the show that we talked about men's on a living. And I think that should be that would be a great closer for you to use. For Monday nights, if you know, as as we as we always close the show out with a quote or whatever the case may be, I think and I don't want to steal it from you because.
Speaker: Really liked it and I what I titled the show As I told you I would Well, I can't remember what it was well, are you on Spotify Spofetti I am NOT Honors probably not even in the same orbit as us right now, but Let's be let's be honest
Speaker: Rocket man right now what to say? He's looking at turning the whole ass fucking Elton John As a guy by then Man I Just watched that episode where Stewie did that song
Speaker: Cause I'm a rocket man, but an honest user parallel. I don't know why, but every time Connor like walks down the steps, all I can think of is that Family Guy episode where Lois redoes the steps and Peter just keeps fucking just biffing it down each set of stairs. You've never seen me. You've never seen me walk down the fucking stairs, Steven. Shut up, you little prick.
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: the title that that I had said and Chris sent it to me. I remember it now is. It's OK, it's OK not to be OK, but it's not OK. Oh, what? What? Now we leave the show. Well, then you dumb bitch. Why do you say things like that? Not say anything and just fucking leave.
Speaker: What do you expect? I assume you wanted me to segue into it. If you didn't want me to fucking say it, then fucking be less dumb. Santa would be a good closer, a good outro for you. It would. And you just walked away. So my assumption was, hey, I'm going to save this. He's going to come back, do his outro. And my fucking God, can we just end this fucking hell? How is he ever going to be a host, Jarvis? Chris, I'm going to I'm going to come to your house and burn your beard off in your sleep.
Speaker: Could see Connor doing a lot better job of ending the fucking show right now than you. Oh Well, but I gotta I gotta I gotta do things. I gotta pay bills and I gotta do this and the other thing. Yeah Shut the fuck up you prick Yes, tell a sausage Calm down Connor. Well speaking of beards Connor since you and I have the nicest beards on the nonsensical network That conversation of doing a charity shave or not shave
Speaker: I'm not shaving this for shit. Sorry. So, so, so don't let me forget this. I'll bring it up Wednesday night. Cause tonight's not the night for it. Um, but no, I do want to, uh, we are gonna, we are gonna, uh, wrap up the show here. Um, appreciate y 'all listening. I appreciate y 'all hanging out. Thank you guys. Everybody in the chatters box. Uh, the guys on the panel, Brian was here. Tony was here. Jarvis, as always, Connor is always in myself. You guys, uh,
Speaker: You guys are eventually going to get sick of seeing me a minimal four nights a week. That was day two of working at Abercrombie Homeboy. I know. I, I 100 % ruined his spotlight moment. Shut up, Mark. Yeah. Like he was all ready for it. And then all of a sudden Glick just comes in and ruins it. Connor and I are basically a married couple at this point. I like Julia. I like her. She said, calm down, Connor.
Speaker: Oh, okay. I'll shave my ball hair. Send it to him. You have to be your beard. Yeah. You're like a jackass where they shave their balls and fucking. That's fucking. Yeah, that shit's so gross. Yeah. On his face and fucking who brought crabs to the party. Yeah. So yeah, as I say, I don't have anything else to shave my beard at the end of the day. Let me honest. I mean, they shave my armpits, but I keep them trimmed in the summer and springtime and.
Speaker: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. In the summer, springtime. Yeah, I mean, I don't shave my armpits, but I trim them down. I think that my face is maybe my balls, but it's called manscaping. I shave my balls. I got a little bit of chest hair I can shave. No less. Speaking of keeping heads. Fucking show. I'm trying to.
Speaker: Chris, tell me about the anal bleaching. I'll tell you Wednesday. That was a whole periscope show one night. Anyway, we do appreciate you guys listening. We appreciate you guys hanging out and thank you guys to the chatters box. Everybody in the chatters box. And like I said, the guys on the panel, Brian, Tony Jarvis and Connor, I appreciate you guys being here. I appreciate you guys opening up. I really do.
Speaker: Um, you know, the show wasn't going to work unless, and this is why the show took so long to come about because I had to have the right panel and I had to, I had to have the right guys here that we're going to come on here and be willing to talk about things and be willing to have the conversations that nobody wants to have. Let's be honest. Nobody wants to have the real conversations. I mean, I could read you everything the experts say, if I want to be fucking boring and lame, but it's so much better when, when you actually have guys here.
Speaker: That are sharing their stories and talking about the things they're going through it relates to the topics at the end of the day You know It's been caring for men men's mental health awareness men's mental health Matters men's mental health whatever you want to call it. This is this is what it is on Monday night So we do appreciate you guys listen. We appreciate you guys hanging out. Thank you guys for all the feedback. Thank you guys for everything

Speaker: You know, if I was Jeff and I was stuck with like syphilis and herpes and gonorrhea and weeds, that would be terrible. Being stuck with you guys, not so bad, actually. It's pretty enjoyable. You can't get rid of us, so. Yeah, I mean, pretty enjoyable. I would much rather be stuck with you guys than Jeff's issues. Fucking Jeff, by the way.
