We're doing it from, we're inside my love sack. We're inside the love sack, which is inside the cozy womb of your apartment. Yeah. Now, if your apartment had a womb, it would be inside the love sack.

Yeah. Now, if you're a toot that's got banged out on my love sack, maybe this episode's not for you. Here's the thing about Chrissy D. He has a love sack, and the love sack is a real example of your life. Yeah. You want me to explain why? Of course. Yeah.

Okay, because- Should I turn off the air conditioner? No, I think we're fine because you got a nice mic that looks like a- That looks actually like a blush- A blush brush for women. Yeah, because you got early onset. Because if I come in here and I see you in makeup and a Nazi uniform, I'm calling the mental health police.

It's what it is. Wow, that'd be a fucking dream to be a transgender Nazi. Because you do weird things in here. No, you're Wei Zhongxian, but you do like the uniforms. I like the uniforms. But you do have a German genetic code, which has, once you figured that out, it explained a lot about some of your opinions. Yeah, it's just what it is. Now, this is how the love seat is a symbol of your life. it's just what it is now all right go ahead yeah explain this is how the love seat is a symbol of your life let's see okay if you could have when you're impatient the jaw's

got to come out because it's the only thing that can make you sit still yeah because you just don't have that much patient for for ff greek kid yeah especially when i'm having anxiety attacks which is what we're going to talk about today yeah yeah yeah but your love sack i lay on it hey burke comes over and he puts his body on it. Yeah. You bang toots on it. Yeah. And it's Delilah's favorite thing. So there's a lot of different elements on that love sack. Yeah. That's your whole life right there. Yeah. Yeah. And you never sit on it. I never sit on it. You prefer the car seat. Yeah. I like to sit in the car seat and it's why my neck just hurts all the time because, cuz, make no mistake, I got a couch that's the size of a front seat of a car.

And it was a bad decision. Yeah, well, thank God you like sitting in it because at least you're getting some of your money's worth because it cost you four grand. Four grand. And I've had it for a few months. And my daughter dropped water in it and stuck a nickel down one of the slots. And now I can't even charge my phone in it. Yeah, you can't charge your phone in it. It doesn't kick back.

And it's only big enough for two women or one fat guy it's just what it is right now we're shoulder to shoulder like we're sitting on a fucking economy spirit flight cuz for the first time in a long time you're a handsome kid from the profile as well yeah when your jaw when your bottom jaw pops up you're a little franks and beans because you for the first time in a long time i'm actually seeing you with two white clean socks that don't have holes in them because you're going through a lot i'm going through a lot because i'm looking at your foot i just realized that your foot is shaped like a woman's in high heels yeah it's just yeah why does your foot

because i got weird your foot is no put the other one like that foot is shaped like you're wearing a high heel like i'm wearing a high heel right now take a picture of it and the only time i don't have anxiety is when we're doing this podcast because i have such a good time it's just what it is yeah yeah because we got fucking junkies that live two blocks from your house yeah we're gonna have to unfortunately i'm reading a book and it's a little thing it's it's a book by tony morrison rest in peace tony morrison chris don't tell them what the book is i can't say it you can okay it's sheila faith weiss human genetics and politics in the third reich the nazi symbiosis and i'm just it's just a little light reading it's a little light reading it's a

little light reading and uh and should we take a picture of it and show that yeah yeah put it for the patreon but listen it's a it's a historical book but they just there's just they've given me some options how to clean out the neighborhood they just they just yeah there's just a few ideas on how to get rid of the drug addicts yeah yeah you know kids become a property owner when you're sitting down with them and he we're having cough and he goes this is my fucking view right now we need to clean this fucking place up yeah we were sitting down eating bacon we were eating egg and cheese sandwiches and i i switched out to bacon for avocado because i'm an ff and we were just sitting looking on third avenue and we just saw yeah we saw crackheads and we just saw a couple of people from another

hemisphere and i was just like you know why did i buy it i own property here so i'm gonna have to just call my councilman yeah it's it's time i was about to say that it's time to get him to have the councilman on in a text thread yeah me you and the councilman need to get the text councilman justin brandon's gotta hear from us yeah he's FF. We need to get a list from you guys of how you know you're an FF, okay? Because when you switch out bacon for avocado, that definitely means you're an FF. You're an FF bet. What are some other FF things? You're an FF if you switch out bacon for avocado.

You're an FF if you're a guy and you do the elliptical at the gym. You're an FF if you have a love sack. Yeah, if youical at the gym, you're an FF. We have a love sack. Yeah, we have a love sack. You're an FF. If you're one of those guys that is way, way, way too in shape and you got a full head of hair, you're an FF. Like the kid we walked by yesterday was an FF, and the other kid we saw was low-level scum. Yeah, low-level scum.

Now we've added a new one. You could be an FF or you could be a low-level scum ins listen ff people been asking me what it means if your friends ask it means fat fuck okay but we all know what it really means it's just 2019 and chris has an overall deal with something in corporate america yeah so i can't i gotta just be very careful because yeah make no mistake i'm trying to pay for my daughter's college. I'm just trying to keep my daughter. I just want her to go to school and not get a tattoo on her tit. And that's going to cost a couple hundred grand.

And that's going to cost a couple hundred grand to just send her to private school and make sure she doesn't get a tattoo on her tit and go to fucking take a shower in the fire hydrant. And it's just going to be a lot of money. So right now there's a corporation that's paying me a lot of money to keep my daughter in the private schools and make sure she stays as weak as possible. So, obviously,

so I just, yeah, so you guys know what FF means, but tell your friends, it just means, just means fat fuck or fucking fat. It means fat fuck. And also,

yeah, Chris also needs to couple, to have a couple dollars uh insurance money just in case his baby's mama's mom wants to go uh to uh wants to go to uh you know uh what's the cosmetic dentistry school yeah just in case yeah just in case my baby's mama's mama wants to go to devry um i'm gonna have to change it up and also let's be honest just in case just in case Barney Rubble My pops gets Gets into my account

Puts a few A few thousand on the Yanks Yeah I got to just have some Extra cash lying around Because you never know When he's going to get his Fucking

When he's going to get his Flintstone fingers in there On my buddy And then just put Put something down On the Yanks Yeah well the thing about Your relationship is

It's kind of like You're the FBI And he's He's Leonardo He's Leonardo DiCaprio And you're Tom H relationship is it's kind of like you're the FBI and he's he's Leonardo. He's Leonardo DiCaprio and you're Tom Hanks. Yeah, it's just what it is. He's always once you're always one. He's always one step ahead of you or you're one step ahead of him. So he figures out a loophole and he exploits it.

And then you got to do a new line of defense. Yeah, it's just what it is. He's like a hacker. And you're like a security company on a digital company, like a digital security company. Yeah. So I'm just trying to find the pronunciation for Wei Zhongxin so we can play it. Because really us going into this podcast without the Wei Zhongxin button is like kind of walking into a battle without without being strapped. Without weapons.

But let's be crystal clear with how bad Zach is at the audio. I mean, what's the difference if we go into the city and do this or do it from this fucking little piece of shit blush microphone that I have? There really is no difference. Not only is Zach bad at the audio, I'm going to go so far as to say he's bad at everything. Yeah, he just hasn't figured it out. Yeah. And I don't think he's ever edited out one thing we've told him to edit out. We got it?

Let's play it. Let's see. Let's see if it works. Yeah, it's just not working. yeah how hard is that zach look that's your that's your only fucking job that's your only job let's play it one more time yeah that's the only job this is just to wash away that was to wash away the book that chris is reading yeah you know what yeah it's it's you know what's gonna happen can i finish 1776 you can finish 1776 but you know what's gonna happen cuz okay like we did last episode where i had to say listen the batteries thing that was just a joke yeah because somebody signed up for the thousand dollars yeah yeah and we got to get that kid his money back and

he wrote can i just yeah the message is pretty funny yeah and uh yeah and also somebody's eventually going to get a weijiong jin tattoo on them yeah it's gonna happen yeah that will happen and it's just going to be yeah a kid um uh i won't say it's well it's just patreon name is first pseudo penis transplant patient and he wrote us a message said um cuz he's i fucked up i got way too excited when I found 500 AA batteries and was thinking about, hey, Bert. So I signed up for the thousand dollar level and it actually charged me right away.

I can't give away a grand right now. I got a situation with the mother and he's asking, what can I do? And the truth to answer is we're the history hyenas. We don't know. You got to call Patreon. You got to call Patreon. We don't know.

Yeah. Historyhyenas.com for all our T-shirts, website. And guess what we're going to do in October. We haven't picked a date yet, but we're going to do the first live. We're going to do the first live history. I hate this podcast from New York fucking city. Yeah, we're planning it right now. We're picking a date right now. And I'm making a promo video right now. Yo, marketing, marketing.

Yeah. Yeah. Cause yeah. Cause yeah, I know my, my thighs are, are, are blindingly white. You're a little too loud. Cause I'm going through a lot and my, my, my thighs are are uh blindingly white you're a little too loud cuz that's because i'm going through a lot and my my my levels are off yeah you're going through a lot cuz and yeah we're gonna do a whole episode on harriet tubman and we will do the episode on harriet tubman but make no mistake yannis has been passing out and screaming at the top of his lungs

with anger so he suggested why don't we just do an episode on the history of anxiety because make no mistake you're suffering from it cuz i'm suffering from anxiety you suffer from anxiety i suffered from anxiety a lot it's just something smart kids suffer from yeah i think yeah because if you if you're if you're a dumb kid and and you can't get in tune in touch with yourself then i think the anxiety just it doesn't really exist um because you're just too dumb to to get there like you know but like we're you know in touch with ourselves. So we, we suffer from it. I mean, I've suffered from, you know, I used to do this whole thing on Instagram anxiety Tuesdays and I don't do it anymore because the truth is I don't suffer from the anxiety like I used to. And now I look at my anxiety as something that, you know, holds me back as opposed to something that's a part of me. I mean, cause I have the word anxiety tattooed on my forearm. I know you are a, you used to be low level scum. I still, I have low level scum tats. forearm. I know. You used to be low-level scum. I have low-level scum tats.

Yeah, you're a low-level scum type of kid who's figured it out, and you just moved up in the world, and now you got West Elm Stool. Well, because— There's nobody who's fucking low-level scum. Who's got West Elm Stools. You get fucking West Elm Stools. You graduate from low-level scum to fucking cute kid. And let me just tell you something, guys, about anxiety.

And this is for Yanni Papa. This is for our fans. It's just something that really helped me. If things are not going to matter in five months, then I don't give it more than five minutes. I mean, I used to get paralyzed by anxiety by figuring out what to wear because I'm an FF. And, you know, things that were never going to matter in five months, what airplane seat I was going to pick, it was never going to matter. So now I do not, the only thing I give more than five minutes in my life are things concerning my daughter

or my career, because those things will matter. So I do. And now with that, with just limiting to worrying about those two things, my anxiety is almost at a zero. Giannis, you have things that will matter in five months because you're making decisions with ailing parents. So I understand why you have anxiety, but I just want you to cope with it a little bit better. And I think at this point, you're going to need to talk to a therapist, even though I know Greeks, Greeks are very weird people because they have a lot of pride in that, the sense that they're like, we're not going to go see therapists.

I'm not sick. But then they will somehow – they'll fuck guys on the battlefield and somehow tell you it's not gay. So I just don't get it. Yeah, we're kind of like a walking oxymoron. Yeah. Just like how Germans say we love freedom and we like being civilized. But then they will just round people up and put them in ovens. Yeah, it's just what it is.

So we're all a little weird. Yeah, it's just all a little weird and should we talk about the hessians for a second or should we just wait till next week that's another episode that's all that episode because it's just something interesting i learned about the hessians so i can't tell them that because i like to i mean did you hear one more he said i mean i mean sorry we just that was just an eight minute delay i'm sorry if the podcast part well just pause but we just and we got a call from pat finnegan and we got it yeah that we got patreon content for our 25 members you get all those types of things that could get us sued yeah patreon.com slash bay ridge boys go there now if you want to hear the pat finnegan call we are a podcast on the run next thing you know we're going to be

doing this like we said like edward snowden from different embassies around the world yeah from different embassies around the world because cuz, from different embassies around the world because, cuz, make no mistake, we live wild, we live free, and that's how I want to live. I don't want to live in any other place and I can't be fucking wild and free. Yeah, and you can do that best in America. Yeah, America's just best. Now, cuz. America's a place where you can really live, and that was a really beautiful thing you wrote on, on, um, that you wrote on our Instagram page. What did I write?

I couldn't believe you wrote, I couldn't believe you wrote that. Like, you know, you know, the individuality is the most important thing to freedom. And, you know, America is a type of place where you can, you can, uh, judge people for individually who they are. Cause that's when you're the most free is when you're being yourself and you got to look beyond culture, ethnicity, and you can't judge people like that. You got to love or hate people for who they are, not for their culture and their religion, because that's what America is about. That's what the great experiment is about, is about truly being yourself and truly being free and totally being a complete FF. You can do that here. And that was a beautiful thing you wrote, cuz. Did I write that?

Yeah. I mean, nobody knows who wrote it. We have to stand up. We don't know. Because maybe I blacked out and fucking wrote that. Yeah. I think you blacked out and wrote it. I didn't write it. People, I don't nobody knows who wrote it. We have this thing up. We don't know. Because maybe I blacked out and fucking wrote that. Yeah, I think you blacked out and wrote it. I didn't write it. People, I don't know if I wrote it. I don't know who wrote it. Then none of us know who wrote it. And we asked the people to guess.

And most people are saying it was either me or Venetia. All I know is, all I know is that. But I think it was you. All I know is that Venetia is a strong. No, no. No, listen, all I know is Venetia is a strong, independent, smart woman. Yeah. And I appreciate everything she does for this podcast.

And it's really nice to have a woman in charge of our podcast who's very smart and has got – and has just got a great head on her shoulders. And someone that I want my daughter to aspire to be is a woman like Venetia. Right. Venetia is a classy, classy, classy woman who just, she looks at you and wants to clean you out. Not Coco. She wants to remove you from her neighborhood. Yeah, she wants to remove my neighborhood.

Yeah, it's just, yeah. She's so rude. Yeah, she looks, because Venetia is just a classy, classy Greek woman. And she's going to only be with us a couple more weeks because she's just doing this to kill time while she's in her 20s. Because is Mike Mush just a human lovesack?

Because Mikey Emojiface, like I said, when we do our first show together in New York City, which we're about to announce. Yeah, we will announce it soon. Yeah, Mike Mush is going to open the show. Emojiface is going to open the show. And then he's going like he's while you're performing. He's just going to lay on his back with his belly up behind you in case you go down so you fall on a pillow and same for me yeah no mike he is a love sack no what's gonna happen is mikey mush is gonna go up and he's gonna do really great and it's gonna have all his jokes

yeah and and he's gonna crush and then at least he could take a joke not like he burped yeah and then when me and then when me and you go up what we're going to do is whatever venue we pick we're going to make sure that they have nets that come lower down from the ceiling yeah and then just just in case just in case you know we go down we got the nets right there cuz you may go down i may go down but i'm not going to go down i'm uh i'm going to be in san antonio this weekend no san diego i mean you're just a Sandra D. Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to go San Diego. What are the bets? Do you guys want to write on our walls History Hyena's Patreon?

What are the chances Yachty P goes down in San Diego this weekend? San Diego, cuz I really hope that you booked a flight to San Antonio. And you just land and you're like, why am I here again? This place looks familiar. You'll be like, oh yeah, I was there two weeks ago. I'm supposed to be in San Diego. I'm in FM. The microphone just fell out.

Yeah, you got to put it back in. Hold on. Let's get it back in. OK, now we're back. Because first of all, before we get into. Yeah. And now I don't even know if we're recording. No, we are recording.

Just let me click this back in. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Is it working? Yeah, I think so. Let's just see. Can you open it up with your face id yeah hold on i

can't believe your face id fits the whole head in there that screen is too small yeah see now it's just saying minus 13 minutes what does that mean i don't know what it means but let's just keep going wait what does that mean i don't know it says minus 13 minus 12 what's going on are we recording backwards yeah i don't know what's happening but you want to press stop you can always press start again right or okay i think we have to start the week i think we just started it over but that's okay we're just gonna we're gonna have zach edit it out so that means this podcast will be available in three weeks no no no no what's gonna happen is this podcast will probably be available in two parts

because i i accidentally hit the wrong button edit it together yeah but he's yeah yeah okay he'll edit it together because i like to just get curled up like this i know i like to just get curled up like yeah because and i noticed that unfortunately now like i noticed and i didn't even realize i was doing it on your forehead oh my god yeah so i know i noticed that now my daughter sometimes like she'll just sit she'll just she'll just sit on on top of the tables. My daughter just sits on things like a Sphinx cat because unfortunately she watched her daddy do that. Yeah, I mean, your dad's a Sphinx cat, so her daughter's going to be a Sphinx cat. And also your daughter gave me a couple of clean, swift kicks to the head.

Yeah, she's just what it is. And then she tried to, she put the pillow over my face. She was practicing for killing one of her ex-lovers. It's just what it is. That's what Latin people do, and we shouldn't be joking about that. The weird thing about being a comedian, it's a very strange profession. We're talking about, all these

things are interconnected, because this week, we had probably the biggest tragedy that I can think of in the comedy community since I've been doing comedy. And it's all kind of, I would say, I would say this is the biggest tragedy in the comedy community. Yeah. I would say that, that other than that, or Kevin, Kevin Barnett or Brendan shop getting a special, one of those three.

Way Sean. Yeah. it was really funny though yeah it's just way sean chian we're just kidding i mean that kid will fucking hurt me so so yeah yeah we're just kidding because brendan's a good friend of the podcast so i figured we could say it and it's just a joke. Don't hurt me. He's a really. And he wants to come on his podcast. Yeah.

Well, here's the thing. Yeah. I mean. Was it worth the joke or was it not worth it? It was worth it, Kirstie. It was worth it. You're a kid who's just got pistols in your fire. Yeah.

You're a paranoid kid in the dark. Yeah. You know who you are? Yeah. Do you want to know who you are? Who am I? You're Jodie Foster at the end of silence of the lamps yeah well you're just going like this with your pistol in the back just shoot and you don't know where the fucking psychopath killer is i'm

just gonna hit buffalo bill with his dicks between his legs just popping shots in the dark because do you think our fans laughed at that one though like our true comedy fans yeah the comedy fans did but here's the deal about brennan'srennan to be honest with you i only watched about two three minutes of it because you put it on yeah and i was actually impressed with how good he was for doing it me too me too how many how many months would that be three years uh that's 36 months 36 he's been doing comedy no he's great i only made the joke because you know he was talking about on his podcast about like oh people were shitting on the special but janice and i watched it and actually were like this is fucking impressive for guys we've been doing it for

three months. Yeah, I mean, here's the thing about stand-up comedy. And I want to fuck them right in the ass. Here's the thing about stand-up comedy. You don't... Anyone can do it. Everyone's doing it now. Who's not a stand-up comedian? Yeah, who's not doing it? This is the funny thing about the modern world we live in

talking about the amenities modernity oh there we go that's another that's another telltale sign you're an ff if you say amenities and modernity you say many and on the elliptical yeah you're living in a park slope world yeah here's the thing this is actually hilarious like everyone to crack open a brew no guys everyone 11. 1120 in the morning. I know. Everyone has a podcast now to the point where your audience, just like at those alt shows, remember you used to do those alt shows? The whole audience is also comedians and artists. Right. So right now, everyone, nobody has a real job.

There are no real jobs to get in America. There's no factory jobs. There's no jobs, real jobs for dumb people anymore. Right. So you can actually get a whole group of fans that are also comedians like gary goldman's writer tips he just those are all inside tips about being a comedy writer yeah but they got him big because everyone's doing comedy everyone's doing comedy that's why i think that you know national income that that kid andrew ying yang

wants to do that's the only democratic kid that i like that's the only income that that kid andrew ying yang's wants to do that's the only democratic kid that i like that's the only thing that's possible because look brendan shob he was a fighter he was a fighter yeah but i love how like but now he's a comedian but like we're also living in this world that's like people can't distinguish reality like when i was watching the democratic national debates a couple weeks ago and andrew ying yang came on and said oh um you know we need a national base national it's not andrew ying what is it it's andrew it's yang okay yeah yeah so andrew andrew yang yes i like him too yeah i like him he's like tulsi tulsi too yeah he said well we need a base national income and you know because robots are taking over the world and it's just

what we're going to need you could hear a pin drop nobody the next one up gillibrand says if i get the first day i get into the white house i'm gonna clorox it fucking applause break right because i'm like we're just living in a t with the fucking muppets uh tim dylan said it best quote unquote the search for truth is over it's over we're just kind of living in sort of like a candy land until this thing ends until it ends unfortunately so why not have a good time and eat some muffins yeah we should eat some muffins have a good time and have a few anxiety attacks yeah because look the climate is going to fall apart it's just what it is it's just what it is is there a way i can get comfy wumpy and lay on your chest right now there's no way i can do it and i know every time i bring up climate change i know you and ridgewood has a different opinion you just go look that's not, there's no such thing as climate change.

You lesbian, you lesbian boy. You lesbian boy. There's no such thing as climate change. Cause make no mistake. The climate change is just a scheme that the Chinese made up. Yeah. Yeah. Cause can Pat Finnegan, we talked to Pat Finnegan for nine minutes.

Did you understand one word he said? Uh, fucking, uh... How many times did he say the word fuck? Fucking, uh... So how many fucking suits you gonna wear? So fucking, I can't bring 14 pairs, so... I mean, he basically sounds like Sean Terry. I mean, when I'm doing Sean Terry, I'm basically doing a padded

five ball. Padded five balls. I mean, cuz, isn't it funny that he's calling me up to ask me what I'm wearing? Yeah, he was asking you what you were wearing, fucking. If you want to hear it, you gotta go to fucking, uh, you gotta go to fucking patreon.com slash Dave Ridgeworth. Let's make that, just because we could get legally sued, why don't we make that for the hundos? Want to make that for the hundos only or we gotta make it for the 25s? I think 25s

and ups. I think everyone who's going... I mean, we said some things about some guys. I know, but who but whoever's going 25 and up... They're on our side. They don't want to fucking expose us. They're in our mafia, yeah. Yeah, they don't want to expose us. Unless we get a fucking rat that wants to get in there and expose us yeah somebody voted for aoc yeah so can we just i i'm just kidding about aoc obviously i don't really know anything about politics but can we just can we just admit truly i'm somebody me and yanni obviously as you

know we fuck around but like i'm more liberal than anything i like what aoc i like the things that she says some of the things she says but can we just admit that most of these politicians don't like straight white men on the left can we just admit that like aoc doesn't like white guys i know she has a white boyfriend but that what you do sexually has nothing can we just admit that elizabeth warren they just don't like straight white males can we just admit that that they think we are the cause of it all? That doesn't mean I won't vote for them. It doesn't mean I don't believe them because I'm very secure with who I am, but I'm just saying like, can we just admit they don't like us? Is that okay to say?

We're perpetually evil right now. And we're all grouped into one and we're, we're a monolith, like, you know, and you know what? Monolith, it sounded like Mike Mush. And you know, there's a couple of two mass shootings that just happened on the same day, which is getting pretty impressive for America that two are happening in the same day. One extreme right, one extreme left. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty impressive.

We're number one. Yeah. But anyway, they say these are all white guys and, you know, doing it. And it's like, yeah, it's all white guys. But, you know, there's a reason for that. And I'll tell you why there's no black mass shooters, because they wouldn't be able to not brag about the planning of it. Because as soon as they bought their first AR-15, they would take a photo and put it on Instagram, bragging about it with money in their mouth. Wei Shanshian. That's one of the first times in the History of Agnes

podcast where we have to give Giannis a Wei Shansehan. And we have to give three in a row. Ray Sean Sheehan, way Sean Sheehan, way Sean Sheehan. Because, yeah, they pose with the gun and make a guap video. Yeah, it's just what it is. And say, hashtag about to go shoot some shit off. Yeah. And then Migos would remix it. Way Sean Sheehan. Because black guys are too flamboyant, too flashy.

White guys are like creepy and silent and weird. And they keep it quiet. They buy the body armor like black guys who get the body armor and then they'd like have an artist come and put graffiti on it or have a matching hat with it like it's just it would be too much flamboyancy before and they would get caught then they'd be driving to the mass shooting they'd have the car windows open they'd be playing rap music way too loud they'll get pulled over and then they'd be starring in another type of video way strong she is because you know what the truth is like honestly on a serious note like people like you know i saw those are all jokes i've absolutely

all jokes i saw like you know like on cnn they're like reporters are crying making tearful pleas to president trump like it's his fault and all that stuff but these mass shootings have been happening if if nothing changed after sandy hook when 20 fucking toddlers were fucking murdered in their classroom nothing is going to change do you understand nothing is going to change if not a damn thing changed after that no no okay that nothing will ever change no so that's why like we're talking about anxiety today it's like i have anxiety i take it with me because it's like we're living in a in a place right now where it's a little it's obviously very dangerous there's all these horrible things horrible things that we can see now that have probably always been happening but now they're now they're on video and we can see them

but nothing's gonna fucking change so you're just gonna have to suck it up you just suck it up and you're just gonna have to get out there and live your day i have anxiety i have depression all i do is fucking deal with it move Move on. I put it in a fucking briefcase, an emotional briefcase. I move on and I just push my daughter on a swing. So stop your fucking bitching and crying every fucking day. Understand it's not going to change. You live your life for you. The people that come into your life, into your existence, treat them with kindness, treat them with care. But other than that, nothing's going to change. That's a, that's a little message brought to you

by Steel Pipe Chrissy. And you want to know why I love doing the podcast series? Yeah. Because I can do a face dive into your love stack. Yes! Yeah. Because that was a fun face dive. Yeah, because make no mistake, can you just hold the phone a little bit? Because I have to pee.

Yeah, yeah, go pee. Yeah, so this is, yeah, go pee. Touch, yeah. Yeah. So this is, yeah, I don't even, we don't even know how much we've done because this is going to be part two of a recording. Do you think the other one got erased? It didn't get erased. You sure?

In 10 minutes. You sure that other one didn't get erased though? Because let's just do 45 minutes because I'm starting to run out of energy. No, but do you think the other one got erased seriously? No, it didn't get erased. Thank God. Because unfortunately we experienced a real tragedy like we just

mentioned in the comedy community. My old manager, David Kimowitz, who was my manager for around eight years, owner of The Stand Comedy Club and Restaurant, which just reopened in a better location

and a much bigger and beautiful club. I'd say the most beautiful club in the city, as far as just ambiance, beautiful food, drink. He was murdered in his house. So we're dealing with that. And I went to the funeral yesterday and it's been really sad. I've been crying a lot. And he was he really was a great guy. His funeral was packed. The story's in the news. You can read about it. Just Google David David Kimowitz. It's a it's a very sad story. You know, and what I've realized, you know, we'll talk a lot about this right now, but it's like the career that we do, you never, we never really take a second to stop and think about how stressful it is and how weird it is to just like deal with this stuff like this. And then you have to go on stage and be like, all right, so how are you guys doing? Like we have to engineer charisma and pretend like everything's

great all the time because our job is to cheer other people up. So we got to make sure we're getting cheered up. So you got to get around chrissy d as much as possible because the kid makes you laugh and the kids wearing my glasses right now and it's hilarious i'll take a picture of it afterwards but i gotta pee that means i got a healthy prostate right yeah got healthy prostate yeah i'm wearing yannis poppins glasses so this is me this is um i'm chris chrissy d but i have yannis's glass on so i'm thinking like him. Why do you close both the toilet loops? Because I like to put the toilet seats down. Why do you have to?

Why? But if you're going to pee again, you've got to lift them both up. Yeah. Because. Why are you putting them both down? What are you hiding? Are you flushed? Yeah.

Why do you do weird things that don't make sense? Because I pee sitting down. Okay. That's what it is. So I have on Giannis' glasses right now. So I just want to talk about the amenities of modernity. And I just want to talk about how Greek culture is number one, even though we're number 20 in the playbooks, number one in your hearts. I mean, we all have diners and nobody really cares about us. But I just amongst the Greeks, we're number one by a landslide. But the truth is, we're probably about the number seven or eighth most successful immigrants in the country. But, you know, we're getting bypassed by fucking Chinese. It's a landslide. But, you know, listen, I'm Greek

and I love my wife. And I just if I'm being honest with you, if I'm being totally honest with you, I love my wife, but I love putting on fishnets and playing with my dick clit a little bit more. And she's great. Everybody's great. But I just like throwing on my fishnets. So yeah. And I love my dog. My dog is my dog. Isla is my child. And I'm that guy that says my dog's my child. And I take pictures of it like it's my child. And I have a mental illness and I'm just a mentally ill person. And yeah, sometimes Chris is like, hey, can I throw your dog in electric and throw your dog in bathwater and then electrocute it? And he's very mean.

And he's just kidding, though. And the truth, truth is, there's been a couple of times where I've looked at Chrissy D's big fat butt and thought i want to get my head in that yes let me take her yeah well hold on did you hear my flow you got good flow was it a good flow because you got to hit the toilet because you got a good product i'm gonna put your glasses here because you got to take a look at my pants let me go we're gonna go check yanni's p color right now let me go let me go check yanni's p color yeah how's his p color wow yeah no you clear you got crystal clear piss because you got a good process you're Let me go check Yanni's pee color. Yeah, how's his pee color?

Wow. Yeah, no. You got crystal clear piss. Cause you got a good prostate. You're drinking enough water. I'm hydrating? You're drinking enough water. Shout out to Smithtown Water Department.

Shout out to fucking Smithtown Water Department and the boys at Workout Day. You guys are doing a good work with that water. Yeah, yeah. And our boy Tank Sinatra, who that's the podcast we debuted on, who he's probably going to do in stand-up comedy now. I mean, the kid's a fucking bodybuilder named George. That's good at memes and now he's doing stand-up.

It's just anything goes. If he could squeeze in stand-up in between his cycles. Yeah, it's just he's on Winstrel. It's what it is. Tank's good news. Go check him out on Instagram. And Tank Sinatra on Instagram. Fucking friend of the show.

Love, love, love Big Tank. Yeah, so we had that tragedy. You know, Dave was a nice guy there was that real nice guy more up to stand he was murdered um in a really freak incident i don't want to really talk about the podcast you can just go google it it's been hard that's why the podcast is uh we're doing it today on thursday that's why we're doing it on a thursday it's a little late and that's also why we're doing it from my apartment we just didn't have time to get into the studio because you know we had to go you know obviously pay our respects and deal with that uh tragedy you know um and uh it's just we weren't in

a place to really be as funny as we could be even now it's still hard but you know we dave would want us to continue i'm sure yeah i mean it's just brutal he had two little girls and it's very very sad that's the brutal part. So the whole thing is brutal, shocking and violent. And it's just rare that, you know, somebody who's been murdered that way, taken that way. You know, an unfortunate coincidence. My wife's friend from college was also brutally murdered. It was front page news in New York newspapers. And that's just strange.

And he was murdered. You know, so we both know people who were murdered he was murdered at jerry rack over his kid you can google that too she knew that kid they went to college together did they bang out or no no they didn't know who him and her my girl and my wife and him yeah no her best friend was his boy it was his girlfriend for four years okay so and the kid went to this kid's house to do some coke and then they got into a fight everyone's probably on steroids when you look at those kids and they ended up fucking um knocking them out and then cutting them up and trying to yeah it's brutal it's a brutal story it's a brutal story but that kid got a lot did he get life the kid there's two of them and i think they did i

think they did get life the two of the kids you got to get life for that yeah you got to get life and um yeah this what happened to dave is. Just Google it. But we've been dealing with that. And yeah, I've been going through a lot with anxiety. I used to suffer from anxiety a lot. I was shot. Um, when I was, uh, I got shot at point blank range when I was 20 in the leg, in the, in the leg, in the inner leg, uh, bullet lodged itself in my ass cheek. And then afterwards, that's another sign you're an FF when you got a bullet in your ass cheek. Yeah, it is. And, um And I, you know, I had panic attacks afterwards and anxiety attacks afterwards. And I was so young, I didn't know what it was. It took me a while to go to a therapist and it did help. And then I started doing 9-11 disaster relief at that time, too.

So I was dealing with those people's trauma. Right. So I was just like overwhelmed and young and stupid and having panic attacks. And I generalized anxiety disorder that I completely conquered without drugs, without anything that was gone. It's come back and forth. I've gone through a lot. My mom's got Alzheimer's. She's broken her hip. I mean, the story goes on. Alzheimer's is a slow decline. I deal with a lot. I also overthink things. I worry as it is. I have your genetic code. I'm an FF. I'm Greek. All these things. But me and Chrissy are good friends and we both suffer from anxiety. Recently, I mean, I've been a stone cold psychopath. I've had zero anxiety because I've been able to build these walls up and compartmentalize. Now with what my dad's going

through and his decline and all the things that me and my brother have to manage, it's just with the career and, you know, the career is just unstable always. You're trying to, you know, you got to think about it all day. You got to cheer people up. So it's like, there just comes a point where there's health problems all around you. And I've had health problems all around me, not even my parents, but other people in my family as well. So when that thing, it just starts to pile up. At some point you cave in and I know it's happened to a lot of you out there. We spoke about it a little on a previous episode after Providence, but we figured we were going to talk a little bit about the history of anxiety because Chrissy knows so much about it. This kid was like the leading scorer at St. Joe's and he was on the court scoring in Division three white basketball.

Yes. And having full blown panic attacks. I was I'll tell you what, when I was a freshman in college, I was a ninety ninety nine zero percent free throw shooter. That's good. Right. By the time my anxiety crept up in my junior and senior year, when I was at the free throw line, my free throw percentage went all the way down to 50%, which is horrifying. I used to have to bring my cell phone out to the bench with me and hide it in my warmups because I was so anxious about it was all directed towards girlfriends. I had, if they didn't text me when they got home or text me where they were, I would just panic and think that something happened to them. me when they got home or text me where they were. I would just panic and think that something happened to them. I thought they died because on nine 11, even though thank God my mother survived, we didn't hear from her for 10 hours and I just thought she was dead. So I had to deal with that. And also right. What happened right after that? So that was nine 11. And then I was dating a girl.

So it was like all opened up and then it was dating this girl. My first girlfriend, a girl, my first girlfriend, a girl I lost my virginity to, um, she was, uh, we were, uh, 17 or 18 at the time. And, um, like three weeks after nine 11, there was a rapist in her neighborhood and her mother called me. And so we were all worried about this rapist. She would walk to work where like a girl had been raped. And, uh, and, um, her mother called me hysterical crying one day saying that, you know, my daughter didn't show up at work. Is she with you? We're panicking. Where is she? And we didn't hear from her for about eight hours. And then she was just 18 years old. She had just not went to work to get her nails done and had like went to the beach and like didn't tell anybody because we were just kids. box to me and released anxiety for almost all through my twenties. And it was very, very, very difficult for me to deal with. And sometimes I look back now at my anxiety thinking like, how many nights did I ruin? How many relationships did I ruin with my anxiety? Because I was just not able, not equipped to deal with it. But then as I got into my thirties and started to live by

these principles, if it's not going to matter in five years, don't give it more than five minutes. You know, even if the worst thing happens, I can deal with it. I'll be okay. Life happens. And just getting older and growing out of it, my anxiety has subsided. Um, Giannis is now going through something where there's an actual reason to be nervous. That's the thing. When we were in our, when I was in my twenties, I can say, you know, I won't speak for Giannis cause he had different circumstances, but I could say when I was in my 20s, I can say, you know, I won't speak for Giannis because he had different circumstances, but I could say when I was in my 20s, I didn't have anything to be anxious about. I was causing it. It was all coming from within.

And that makes me upset. Now, if there are things that I have to be anxious about, then I deal that energy is there because the energy is there. And I try to use it as positively as I can, because what is anxiety? Anxiety is just something, it's the fight or flight. Anxiety only exists because when we were, you know, cavemen and we needed anxiety to run from animals because we were actually prey for other animals. We were just another animal on the, on the field. Like we were just another animal in the Serengeti. It does have an evolutionary purpose. Absolutely. We needed it. Now we needed it because we needed to run away

from animals that were going to eat us. Now anxiety is actually unnecessary energy. It doesn't serve a purpose anymore because we're not, it's something from the old part of our brain. You know, we have the new part of our brain and the old part of our brain. It's something from the deep old part of our brain where it's not a necessary thing. So all we have to do is try to find ways to make the energy that would normally be consumed by anxiety, turn it into something positive and productive. Yeah. Anxiety was only, if you can believe it or not, I mean, obviously, throughout the centuries, throughout the millenniums, throughout human history, there's been different understandings of it, but only in 1980 was uh gad which is generalized anxiety

disorder um only in 1980 did it become a diagnostic category in the dsm tell them what the dsm is the dsm it's like the bible for mental illness for mental mental illnesses. So there's the DSM and there's all different versions of it. If your mental disorder makes the DSM, then it's official. It's officially recognized as a mental disorder. Yeah. So general anxiety disorder is an actual mental disorder. And I think a lot of people in the modern world are suffering from it. And like you were saying, it's your body. You were, what you were saying before,

your body just throws things at the problem, right? But your mind can create any type of problem. Yes. The thing is this, all our bodies do all a man's body does every day, a man and a female's body. All they do every day is try to maintain homeostasis and equilibrium. That's especially for a man. Literally every waking moment of its day of a man's body from the deep, deep, deep, you know, science of it is just trying to maintain balance, trying to make sure the blood flow is going a certain way. Each chemical is at where it's supposed to be.

And when you start to have anxiety and stress, it throws the body out of balance. Then that's causes dizziness, headaches, all that stuff that we know about anxiety. A woman's body is the same, but also from its years, you know, after when it begins, you know, and the woman's body begins menstruating through menopause, it's just every day preparing for pregnancy. So that's why women have a lot more to deal with because every day, it's just the body's just thinking it's pregnant or it's preparing for pregnancy and wants to maintain balance and then a woman's body is fucking wild because it's like you know once puberty starts and once you have your first menstrual cycle it's just fucking chaos until menopause and then it's even gets even more crazy until like a few years into menopause i mean it's just wild but a man's body you know all i could

speak about is the point of view from a man's body and it know, all I could speak about is the point of view from a man's body. And it's like, all we were doing is trying to maintain balance. So when that is thrown out of whack, then all these little symptoms happen. But yes, for the most part, anxiety, depression, these are all things that start in our mind and are not, it's not real. Anxiety and depression isn't real, but it also is real because the symptom, like when you say, oh, I'm having, when I told you, Giannis, when I was like, listen, you almost passed out because of anxiety or you almost, your hands are going numb because it's in your mind. That is true. But also what's true is the physical aspects of it. Your, your, your hand is going numb. You are going to pass out. So it is, it is real. It's real. It's just that the cause isn't physical.

The cause is not, well, the cause is mental, but your cause mental, but your body is reacting the same as if it was physical. Same thing with, same thing with food allergies. I read this study that said 80% of people with food allergies actually don't have an allergy to the food. Hey Bert. But, but they actually don't have an allergy to the food when they test their blood and test their skin it doesn't flare up when that food is introduced but the person really does stop breathing and really does feel sick to their stomach so it is real to them yeah it's a general anxiety disorder and pd which is like a fear disorder specific like ag agoraphobia, which is the fear to go outside. They usually go hand in hand, GAD and PD. Um, but, uh, another example of a PD would be PTSD post-traumatic stress disorder,

which they used to just call, um, what they used to call it. They used to call it just being an FF. They used to call it, well, yeah, it's called shell shack. My dad actually spent a month in a hospital afterwards with PTSD. At the time, they called it shell shack. Now, your dad also said in the Korean War, somebody tried to cornhole him. Didn't you say that? He did.

Somebody tried to cornhole your pops. He also calls gay guys $3 bills. Yeah, it's just what it is. He says that guy's gay like a $3 bill. And he says, yeah, one night, one of the guys in the bunks when he was down there in one of the forts, down there in the south when he was training before he went to Korea, one guy tried to cornhole them. Chris Pompous almost got cornholed. And he did bang his fair share of Korean dudes.

He did. It's just what it is. Let's just be crystal clear. He did have sex with Korean prostitutes. He had sex with Korean prostitutes, raw daddy. It's what it is. And he's told me that, and it's just what it is. But your fear disorders are agoraphobia.

That's a fear to go outside, a social phobia. And there's all other types of phobias that develop from an anxiety disorder right so this was you know this only why did he think it took so long to to acknowledge this it only made it into the dsm in 1980 cuz well cuz you gotta understand as a country mean, we're just a little delayed. We're a little franks and beans as a nation. I mean, we only outlawed slavery in the 1860s. We are, yeah. We're the only country in the civilized world that doesn't have the same

type of gun safety laws that other countries have. Yeah. And it's not a fucking coincidence that we're the only one who has this amount of fucking mass murders. Yeah, and it's shooting. It's just what it is. Yeah. So we're just a little FF, so there's really no good explanation. I mean, I'm sure there's people who have reasons, and there's shooting it's just what it is yeah so we're just a little ff so there's really no good explanation i mean i'm sure there's people who have reasons and there's people listening right now going you're fucking ff it's got nothing to do people kill people

with cars they kill people with knives yeah it's mental illness whatever you say whatever it is okay fine yeah all right you know i'm not arguing with you i don't i listen it's like whatever whatever's gonna keep our kids safe i'm for it let's just try shit okay let's just try shit yeah let's just do that let's just fucking try shit cuz yeah so yeah it's just what it is yeah so they only made that split um between pd uh those specific disorders and general anxiety disorder in 1980 which was the official birth date of um general anxiety disorder as a diagnostic category yeah so that that is wild but it was actually conceived a few years earlier, but it didn't make it into the DSM, that Bible of mental illnesses,

which I know well, because I used to do social work and I worked with people who had all types of different mental illnesses. I used to always refer to the DSM and the DSM is constantly changing and constantly updating. Yeah. It's interesting because mental, it's kind of like your sexuality. It is constantly changing and constantly updating. Yes, constantly. Yeah, it's interesting because mental... It's kind of like your sexuality. It's constantly changing, constantly updating. Yeah.

Yeah. The thing about the difference between like... Because you want to unzip this love sack and get in it? No. Okay. But you know the thing, the difference between like psychiatry and being a physician is like it's constantly changing. Whereas physical things don't change. It's like if you need to put a stent in your artery, it's constantly changing. Whereas physical things don't change.

It's like, if you need to put a stent in your artery, it's like you got a clogged artery. They, you know, just keep going. Cause you're getting the love seat. I'm just actually having a little bit of anxiety.

And I've noticed that when I'm having real anxiety, if I just crawl into my love cycle a little bit, it just helps me feel better. So I'm just going to get in this. Yeah. God damn it. Why is it dark? What do you mean? I'm trying to make a video of you getting in the love sack and it's not what's going on my phone. Just, just, just, just close it. Yeah. Just close it.

Cause so you're just a little stressed out. This is true. So it's like, yeah, I'm just a little stressed out and this has been helping me. I just crawled to this love sack and it just, it's just a little, it's just what it is. When you said you crawled to love sack, I thought you were joking, but you I just crawl into this love sack and it just, it's just a little, it's just what it is. When you said you crawl into the love sack, I thought you were joking, but you actually do get into the love sack. Oh yeah. I mean, I've done, this is how I sleep.

I don't bring a blankie out. I just, I usually just get. What's inside there? Let me see it. Oh, you can crawl inside it like that. I crawl in the love sack. You ever go in there with the baby? Yeah.

We have fun in there. We crawl inside the love sack. Have you ever slept in there like that? I slept in like this last night. Chris is currently in the love stock. You're just going to have to go to patreon.com to maybe see the video or I might throw it up on the fucking on the

Instagram page because you look cute. You want a pic of it too? Yeah. Okay, because I made a video, but here's a pic of you in the love stock. Wow, that's blue steel. Now give me a fun one. Yeah. Yeah yeah i'm just yeah yeah i just sometimes i like to just vibe out here and i just when i just like to crawl in and i vibe out like that i just i just fall in i kind of just sleep like this is this wild

that is kind of well why am i I coughing? Oh, my God. Oh, God. So the first phobia meeting they had, the psychiatric community had, cuz, was in 1978 in White Plains, New York. So they were out in Westchester. Say again? Was your mom getting backed up by Dinkins then? No, no, no, no.

That was much later. Yeah, they went to law school in, like, the early 50s, I think. Wow. Class of 53, I think. Wow. Class of 53, I think was when they- I forgot, because I forgot that your mom and dad had you when they were in their 50s. No, they were in their late, my dad was late 40s,

my mom was like 43 years old. Yeah, they- Nobody says tree anymore. Have you met someone who said 43? What happened to the word tree as for three? Because a lot of New Yorkers say tree instead of three. Because you were just an accident then. I was an accident then because you were just an accident then. I was an accident

then because you were a mistake. Yeah. My mother just really, I mean, can you believe that my mom banged up Barney Rubble? Because I don't know how he got in there, but it must have happened young before your mom knew anything about the world. Yeah, my mom, this is why I think she was blind. But you know, your father's a master

manipulator. So he went in there and he was like, yeah, I'm smooth, smooth, smooth. Probably he didn't have diabetes yet. So he was a little skinny. But was he a good looking kid or just he always looked like... I can find out. My mother even said what you

because you know, your father... Because your mom was a... Because you know, your father never really was handsome. So what happened? I don't know. Because was she

with other guys before him? No. She was a Catholic girl. So she must have jerked off a few guys. I'm sorry if you're listening to this to your family. Because my parents have spoken to me in weeks. I know.

This is a Patreon, but because Catholic schoolgirls, the first girl to jerk me off on a rock in the woods was a Catholic schoolgirl. It's just what it is. Because it's almost worth it to be Catholic for how much of a freak it makes you. Case in point, you. Yeah. I'm just, yeah. Because it's like real, it freak it makes you. Case in point, you. Yeah. I'm just, yeah. Because it's like real, it makes it even naughtier and funner, right?

Yeah. It's just fucking naughty, tawny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause, okay, now I'm in a love sack and I'm comfy, wumpy. So why don't we just say goodbye for this episode? Cause I don't, I don't know.

We have, we did it. Your phone is fucking locked. I don't have a face ID. How much time have we done? We've done. We haven't really fucking talked. You haven't told the people ID. How much time have we done? We've done. We haven't really fucking talked. You haven't told the people all the fucking shit you know about anxiety. We've done 50 minutes.

I just told them. I told them five minutes. Don't give it more. Five seconds. It's not going to matter. Five months. Don't give it more than five minutes. I've told them about what I think the pathogenesis of anxiety is.

I've told them that. I've told them that what I dealt with anxiety, where mine came from. I've told them. You've told them that what I dealt with anxiety Where mine came from I've told them you've told them We've called each other FF's I'm in the love sack I'm comfy wonfy Yeah and look there's a hole in your love sack What's this? No that's not a hole

That's my daughter She just sticks shit to it Yeah well cuz let me just tell them a little bit Just tell them You just go into your love sack and it's what it is and it's what it fucking is anxiety um actually the description of anxiety developed cuz in the 17th century okay yeah um robert burton is a guy is a guy's name in 1621 he wrote the anatomy

of melancholia George Washington said he would feel in 1776 he's always saying he feels melancholic because the British will whoop his ass yeah and then after 1800 anxious expressions began to be considered in themselves and the French wrote

they wrote about Angoisie began to be considered in themselves. And the French wrote, they wrote about angoisse, A-N-G-O-I-S-S-E. Angoisse, I don't know how you pronounce that. I don't know how to say any words that aren't fucking American. Angoisse, which was a species of tortured misery that bordered on anguish. And then the Germans adopted the term angst. So anxiety comes from the word angst,

which, uh, you know, obviously we know what the word angst is. We've adopted it into the English language. It's a, you know, a foreboding, a fear of some future event. And the Spanish actually had the same concept called angustia. Um, and in 1879 a british doctor distinguished worry from quote-unquote panic um a term derived from the story of the arcadian god pan who was said to make noise in the woodlands that inspired unbridled terror so it started to all come together in the 1600s and then 1700s and 1800s which is what i just said is where each country that I just mentioned started to in some way formally recognize that this was a specific problem. And then in 1866, the Frenchman Benedict Augustine Morel suggested severe anxiety was due to a dysfunction in the anatomic nervous system. And, uh, and you know all about that nervous system,

right? That just, that's involuntary, right? And then others followed his lead and set out to examine, um, if this was a problem in the brain, heart and lungs. And then from this perspective, um, Will Robinson's, uh, robot was on the blink and And sometimes that is surely so. I'm just reading from something. Yeah, I mean, this is what we all were just, what are people,

can somebody call us the Wikipedia rats? We'll just read, we'll Wikipedia sluts and we'll read the internet to you. This isn't Wikipedia. This is an interesting article. And then Sigmund Freud, who used to do blow,

who used to do a lot of blow. Are we going to go to Vienna, Austria? yeah do you have money? can we travel? yeah I got money but I'm saving for a house that I can't afford but I've saved a lot of money I don't know because it depends on how much of a

fucking FF you become or not I don't know what that means either I'm just fucking spinning the wheel with what I'm saying because I like the way you spin the wheel in your brain and whatever comes up, you just say. Yes. Because Sigmund Freud was actually the first person who considered anxiety purely physiological. Okay. All right.

So that's interesting because he was right about some stuff and he was wrong about other stuff. I think he believed women have penis envy, which I don't think so. I think they like their pusses. I think they like their pusses. And he also thought everybody wants to bang out their bums. Yeah. I think there's a little truth to that. I don't think they want to bang them out,

but I think your idea of affection and things like that, it's got to have. Certified peace. Yeah. But I didn't know her as a piece. When I knew her, she was, she was broke down.

Yeah. She was ready. You know, she was a fucking piece. She was a fucking piece back then. She really was. Yeah. Um, dude, it is signal anxiety. She was a fucking piece back then. She really was. Yeah.

Dude, signal anxiety. Sigmund Freud, he called it, he put forward the theory of signal anxiety, in which small doses of anticipatory discomfort generated a cascade of self-protective responses. That's really what... You gonna throw up? You going down? Are you going down? that's really what you're going down that's really what it is it's kind of like worrying about things that haven't happened yet it's like when you get too much in your you're not in the moment and you're looking you're anticipating what could happen that's essentially what anxiety is you're not in the moment anymore anticipatory anxiety is the worst and it's what anxiety actually is. And let me tell you this.

Here's another thing I learned. If the thought or what you're saying starts with what if, get it out of your head. If it starts with what if, get it out of your head. That's your anxiety talking. That is not what you're supposed. That's not the world you're supposed to be in. In the present, we're not saying what if. Oh, what if this happens?

What if he calls me? What if this? That's anxiety. That's anxiety taking over. So if it starts with what if, get it out of your brain. That's another thing that I learned. That's interesting. So you think that's exactly, that's essentially what it is. It's all anticipating because in the moment right now, everything's fine. So even pain, even something as something like pain in the moment, it's not crippling you the reason why you're always anticipating even if it's a millisecond it's anticipation because in this very moment you're

okay yeah it's wild like before we started to become enlightened and started to develop uh you know psych psychology and psychiatric what is what do you what would you call it psycho what would that field be called psychiatry psychoanalysis psychiatry before those started to develop and we started to look at the brain like you obviously religion used to be what people thought was going on they use religions they'd be like oh you're sinning you're thinking of sinning on something's wrong um with your morality and even all the way back to as far far as we can tell in recorded history, at least white man's recorded history, uh, into the, into the, into the old Roman times, right? In the Latin, they had, um, in the pre, uh, pre-modern Western Christian world, the Latin term was anxieties,

which obviously that's, you know, that's where all these words, angst and everything come from. And where anxiety comes from is the Latin, like most words come from the Latin anxietus, which signified unease that often took its shape within a framework of sin, redemption, and eternal judgment. So they, they, they saw it in the terms of sinning. So they didn't really believe they were probably just all the stuff that we know now, like most of the stuff, like look, God was there when we didn't understand the cosmos, you know, like God was used to explain the universe and things like that. And like physical stuff, the less we knew about medical stuff, the more it was like, oh, God's punishing you for something. Your stomach hurts because you were looking at a man's wife or some shit like that.

Right, right. And same thing with psychiatry. You're having anxiety. It's because because you're sinning so give me 12 hair myaries and you won't worry anymore so yeah so that's another thing it's like that was real to them and that helped them but in today's world it seems like that makes things potentially worse because we have more of these scientific answers like you've always said when science is at the top all these things start to move when religion's at the top like nobody really moves that. You can't argue that. When you look through history, it's periods. Whenever faith becomes the dominant, salient zeitgeist, reason declines and advancement, human progress stops. And when faith is on the decline and reason is on the ascent, progress speeds up. That's why we call those periods enlightenment, dark ages.

The dark ages was just a period where Christianity dominated. Yeah. Like you look at the Arab world when when when when when reason and think they were translating all the works of the Greeks and stuff like that. They had a period of enlightenment. It's just carrying that knowledge. It didn't matter the race of the person. The good ideas are there for anyone who wants to take them. Yeah. Culturally, if your culture prevents you from adopting those, those good ideas, then you're going to have a backwards culture. It's just what it is. You could say, oh, that was a white guy's idea or like whatever, but culture, it doesn't fucking matter. Ideas don't was a white guy's idea or like whatever but culture it doesn't fucking matter ideas don't have a race gender or fucking culture or morality they're good ideas and

bad ideas and they're universal and they're from the platonic realm and they exist whether we exist or not two plus two equals four whether we're here or not yeah it's just what it is cuz and yeah it was a good idea it was a good idea cuz and yeah, it was a good idea. It was a good idea to do this podcast. It was a good idea to crawl into the love sack. It was a bad idea for me to have a tall iced coffee because now I feel like I did three bumps of coke. Yes. Yes. All right, cuz
