"Hey man, I don't get. I don't get these drugs free people drugs get a bad rep because they're like ruin people's lives or whatever. So does reality? Why are drugs illegal for everybody just because some of y'all can't keep your shit together? It's bullshit. It's to be like points on your license. If you keep fucking up on drugs, you can't do drugs. You got to go to the DMV and get approved for your drugs every year. Like, hey, look, you good for the mushrooms. But you fucked up at the last Coachella, no Molly for you. For the rest of the year. That seems reasonable to me. You know, these antidrug people what they want to admit is some people are better on drugs. Right? Some people, they best on drugs. You ever have a friend, get sober, and then you realize they lame as fuck. The problem is we look at drugs like, oh, they're good drugs and bad drugs. That's not true. There's just the right drugs in the wrong drugs for you. There's no good drug bad drug, okay? That's just your way to fucking judge people. I'll give you a perfect example. We all agree methods of dirty ugly nasty drug, right? Methamphetamine destroys people. Yeah. But guess what? There's a 24 hour McDonald's in Los Angeles that I love. And the night manager, the guy that worked a lot for the 7. He is always on meth. Every time I see this guy, he's on 11 son. But whenever he's in the building, all the sandwiches come out looking just like the pictures. That's art. For men. My personal drug is weak. It's not really something to cheer. It's just an activity. I learned the hard way a long time ago that, you know, it's not going to be a stoner just high all day, every day. You can't do that. You should never be high in a situation where you can't risk being confused. Okay? 'cause we can fuck you up. There is a such thing as too high. Right? And when you get too high, some people describe it as paranoia. But what it really is is that you just keep thinking when you normally would have stopped thinking. Right? Like, your normal, your normal thought process is, you ponder something, you reach a conclusion, you're finished. But when you're too high, you ponder something, you reach a conclusion, then you ponder the conclusion, and you partner that conclusion, and you partner, and then the next thing you know, you weigh the fuck out and left field from when you started, right? Last time I got way too high, I turned to my friend and I said, hey, have they ever thought about just giving pedophiles their own baby pictures? That's a victimless crime. And he's like, man, that's brilliant, but we were talking about the economy. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm fucking high. Catch Brian Simpson in season three of the stand ups, only on Netflix..

"Was our goal to make it taste delicious. So as a clinician, I'm always interested in being very, very specific about what some claims are. In fact, I have an obligation to investigate that. And understand the mechanism of action and then understand the evidence. And you mentioned turmeric and ginseng. These are extremely different mechanisms with totally different desired effects. I don't know how much rubidium I need in my time. I can't think of a essential stoichiometric pathway that requires rubidium up top of my head, but I'm sure they're out there. But you did mention antioxidant, right? And I think most people do agree that high level antioxidant is an important. Potentially, let's see how should we characterize that. It's not a therapeutic, but it potentially a way of enhancing a reducing health risks. What is the mechanism which antioxidants? What's the mechanism? How do we understand that and what's the evidence for that? So in terms of chaga, the antioxidant studies are done in medical research papers. You can go on Johns Hopkins, Sloan Kettering, cancer research center. And again, we don't make disease claims. But you know the evidence is out there in these research papers. This isn't indigenously used item by our ancestors. It's dates back 5000 years. They actually did indigenous people did use a therapeutically, didn't they? Didn't they? Correct. I know you're not making the claim of that, but what was it that they did with it? So let's see the Iceman I think it's one of the oldest preserved bodies found in the Italian Swiss border. There's a museum from up there. They found birch polypores and chaga mushroom around his neck. And I think he lived around 60 years old. So they were using it, you know, he had it on him. And you know, he actually died from an arrow moon from a rival tribe, so he didn't even die of natural causes and lived a very long life for that long ago. And so these kind of these kind of adaptogens or mushrooms really even predate some religions when they found his body and our ancestors used them for healing and in terms of that direct question, you know, there's research out there on antioxidants where they've done orac studies on this versus on chaga mushrooms versus let's say pomegranate and acai. And they've just found that chaga is by far the highest in terms of antioxidants measured. The research papers are like I said, there's hundreds of them unrespectable sites. I really like Sloan Kettering. There's bibliographies on it and people can do their research. But the chaga mushroom is loaded with nutrients, that it's getting from the birch tree essentially. And then it's pre digesting those nutrients. And then we're able to extract them from the mushroom by grinding it up kind of like a coffee and then steeping it. Because you can't cut down the birch tree and take the nutrients out of it or eat the birch tree. So, you know, it's coming from nature from a wild forest. Which is really where the magic is coming from. So that's the source. Now you can grow it and get the mycelium, which is what Paul stamets and some brands do and there are some health benefits to the mushroom roots, which is the mycelial network, and there are some health benefits to growing it. But you know, it's just really hard to replicate that story of this thing growing in a wild forest in Alaska or Siberia. And that's where it's getting its nutrients from the tree. So the antioxidant story is one of the elements of it is essentially being able to eliminate or reduce the amount of free radical formation that we have in our inside ourselves. And free radicals are dangerous because they're highly polar. They're these very polar molecules that can actually sort of tear through DNA. That's sort of the way to think about it. And so free radical reducing free radicals is the goal. And so I'm all about the antioxidant story. Is there any sort of subjective experiences associated with taking this? I know other mushroom companies claim energy and that kind of thing is that here too. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of in vitro in vivo studies they've done. You know, granted, there's hasn't been many clinical trials because that's usually around more pharma type stuff. But all the evidence is showing, and all the anecdotal evidence as well. And in vivo in vitro, evidence is showing a 25% energy boost and it's on the mitochondrial level. So it's great for athletes for sports performance. You know, they give it to mice, for example, some chaga mushroom and see how long they can swim for. And they give the others a placebo and the ones that they give the chocolate mushrooms from 25% longer. Well, that's interesting. That's really interesting. Yeah. And have they thought there are speculation on a mechanism on that? Yeah, I mean, I'm.

He's like, yeah, you got to talk to somebody. Yeah, I'm Rogan. Come by. Cool. He like he thought I was funny. You are. Yeah, man, he was like, you got it. You gotta help you any way I can. So let me help you out here. Ontario improv is February 10th, Irvine, February 9th, Madison, February 24th, and then Bakersfield, March 5th, Philly punchline, April 8th through tenth. Wow. It's a lot. In the meantime, were you here locally regularly? Yeah, I'm usually at the start of the problem, yeah. How do we actually look at the line of the lineups at the store or the improv? Yeah. Well, it's a real privilege to talk to you, my friend. You got a lot of friends in common and stuff, so like I said, I left out loud. Oh, Mark Normans on your season three coming up. Yeah, yeah, he's funny man. He is funny. I want to see what put him on the microscope. I did him on after dark once. And it was revealing. It was funny. He squirms a lot. He squirms out from other stuff. Yeah, man, 'cause I would love to know what makes him tick. He's super smart and super funny. And looks at the world in different ways than the rest of us. But that's why he's so damn funny. Am I the only one who, every time I seen Norman, it brings me back to Brody, just the way he likes to say comedy. It's such a non secular. I feel like maybe because I've been sick, but I feel like we've had this conversation before. I don't think I've ever told anyone this is something I've always thought. Wow. Interesting. I don't know. Deja vu. Yeah, let's take care of your own tests and stuff. Yeah, thanks. They're getting better. It's the same thing every time. It's pain, I don't sleep. It's miserable. I go on antibiotics, it takes a couple of days to resolve and then I'm just washed out for 5 days. I'm sorry, wow. But you've kept me company and interested. So I've gotten away from my intestines. Again, so don't be a stranger here. Love to see rent more round and maybe if you're down in Austin, because I'm going down there regular to see those guys. Oh, are you moving down there? No. Not moving down there. I don't think. I go there like every three weeks after four weeks. Okay, I'm down there regularly. All right. I think we leave out. Let's see, BS comedian.

"I'm thinking we got to just get you on the ship. You don't have to be the captain just yet. Yeah. I think doctor Browne will be really good for him. We just had him on. I believe. Oh yeah, we did. That's right. That's right. I just had a great therapist. This is what I hate about the VA. 'cause I just had a great therapist at the VA. They pulled her away from you. Yep. Oh, that's fucked up. They always do so fucked up. That's the worst thing they could do to somebody like you. Yeah, they go, well, you know, this was only supposed to be for 9 weeks. So if you need more shit, we can reference you to this other clinic. And I'm like horrible. What can I keep this lady? No. That is the exact opposite of what you need. Because that's your life being pulled out. It's the worst. It's just the worst. You just galvanizes all the things. And when you say you have problems, is it because you have trouble forming a long-term relationship and you'd like to? Yes. Even with my friendships too. I keep everybody at a distance. Like somebody asked me some other day, somebody was open for me in New York. And she was like, so who do you hang out with in LA? I was like, oh shit. I don't think I got what anybody. You know? I mean, it's not that I'm not friends. Well, you know, just the fact that you hang out with Tom and Christina tells me that you have good judgment about who you do hang out with. But I don't hang out with them. I understand, but you're hanging with them. And so you're not one of the real problems with having had an abandoning childhood is your picker gets broken. You start picking people in. Well, I have that habit too. Sometimes I will either get close to somebody too quickly. And it's like a pendulum. I get too close too quickly. And then it's wrong, and then I don't trust my picker. And then I take my time getting close to somebody that I should be. So sometimes I get lucky and I hate the jackpot. All right, so you've been able to do that. You've been able to have. Yeah, I feel like as I get older, I get better. Okay. All right, trusting my instincts. You're right. This podcast is sponsored by better help online therapy and better help wants to tackle stigma, of course there's tons of stigmas around mental health. So strange to me that we treat conditions below the neck differently than we.

And today, Brian Simpson, comedy special, the stand up season three available right now on Netflix. Episode one of season three. Well done. Right, welcome. What's happening? I left out loud a lot during your, did I see that? Was I looking at the Netflix thing? I send you the Netflix thing as well, but we first started with David Spade cliff. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, I want to talk to Brian. I'm ready for that. That's good. But I was telling Brian that today I have diverticulitis, which is this thing I get like every 6 months. It's like having appendicitis on the left side instead of the right side. It needs a surgery, but I've been avoiding it. It's like peritonitis, localized peritonitis. And it doesn't help me. So your colon, can you show me a picture of diverticulitis? Well, I'm guessing divert divert is the root word. No, no. I don't know why the diverticulum is I think the operant part of it. Show a picture. So you can see here. Yeah, keep going. You got to blow one up for us. Give us a diagram. Yeah, yeah. No hold Jesus Christ. I hope I'm not doing that. It shows how bad it can get. Anyway, there are these little outpouching. The do you see the kind of there? Yeah, yeah, okay, so those little outpouchings along the side of the colon on the right. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, some people develop those. And we don't know why they develop they're sort of genetically programmed. And they can fill with debris and start to become abscessed and get infected and leak in the leak goes actually in your abdominal cavity so you get peritonitis. It's good, right? Why is debris such a hilarious word? Do you tell me you're the comedian? Debris is a good word. So that's me. And so I have to take all these antibiotics and it makes me weak and it's just nothing funnier than that, though, a little diverticulitis. And it's recurring. I was just thinking as I drove up here when I had colonoscopies on a regular basis. But three years ago, guy looked at me and went, you're going to have to have that surgery. It's surgery. You've got to get the surgery done. And I was like, fuck you, I'm gonna take it. Yeah, of course, he's right. Why are doctors the hardest ones to convince? Because it's kind of like you know how to push the envelope. It's like, that's why you attorneys do such shady stuff. They know right where the line is. And a doctor, you know right where the line is from a health standpoint, too. I know I'll do poorly. I do horrible after surgery. It just destroys me for weeks and weeks, weeks. I don't want to deal with that. Anesthesia destroys me. I don't want to deal with that. But this thing is driving me crazy every 6 months. I'm just laid out for 5 days. How many times do I have to do that before? I'm like, all right, enough enough. Let's talk about you. Where'd you grow up? I grew up in PG county, Maryland. Where is that? PG county. It is the, it is the part of the southernmost part of Maryland that's wrapped around D.C.. Got it. And how did comedy happen? Well, that's a whole other thing. Comedy happened because from the military. I joined the Marine Corps. And that the usual course to comedy. No, no. Military actions, hysterical. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the short sweet stories that I was a foster kid. We had multiple homes or just a one or no multiple homes. I moved at least. What is that? I look at people that are resilient like doing great like yourself. And I hear that history and I go, I don't think I'm built for that myself. It would have destroyed me. I mean, there are long term you have stuff. Things, yeah, because trust. Tries to trust. I think trust bleeds intimacy issues. A 100%. But you know it. You know, yeah, but it doesn't make it. Even you know, you can know something intellectually. Yeah, yeah. But not feeling emotion that's exactly right. And sometimes it's like no matter how close I feel to somebody. After a while, I'm just like, I need you to get the fuck away from me. Yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. And that's sort of what happens with abandonment, right? You can't get that close because the vulnerabilities to intense. Exactly. But it's a weird thing where it's like you know that the closeness is what you need and you fight to get there, but you're so used to the opposite that the closer you get, the more unfamiliar it is. It is. Yeah, it's terrifying. Yeah. And by the same token. So what people normally do is they go after people that are not available for a close relationship. Or like you said, you get in and then you end it and then you're like, this thing's too good. I get the fuck out of here. Right on the money there. Yeah. Yeah, there are the therapies designed to treat that are not that tough. I mean, they're not like difficult or anything. And they may take a while. I mean, I've done the cognitive, so when I first moved to LA, I was in a homeless shelter for a couple of years. It was for veterans only. Or something? Yeah, it was on sunset and they make you do these. They call them group sessions, but you have to do them. Depending on your level of privilege, do X amount. Where you earn it. Right. Will you earn doing less of them? I need some information. So you were in the marine for how long?.

"Have your breakfast pot to save my dinner soups. Breakfast pasta is a dinner soups. Oh, God. It's so nice to know what will be like when we're old. You know what I mean? We don't have any surprises coming in. Just a guy eating dinner soups with a little baguette. So that's what it is. Yeah, the mask has been taken off the next 60 years. How do you do that? 7 years ago. The way you be acting, I'm like, uh huh, I see. Now, Andy. I believe we have some updates, some suggestions. Oh, yes. So when we give advice on the show, two things we love. One is updates from the people who originally called in, of course. The second thing is people who have a different take on the advice we've given. You know, so maybe someone who has had first person experience with what we're talking about, maybe they have like a different angle on mental health professional, whoever's coming in with something that's surprising and useful. We get a lot. I want everyone to know, we can't play them all and I can't read them all. I listen and read them all. I need everyone to know that. You are heard. You are heard. So this first one though is an update. Do you remember Brian Simpson's episode? Brian Simpson, your fellow stand up season three on Netflix. We live and in his episode, this is from early December. A caller called in and said, they had dated a sociopath. They broke up. And she did a lot of work on herself and is now in a new relationship. And this new relationship, he checks off every box on her list. However, this is the turn. Always a turn. Turn. There's a big red flag. She gets the feeling that he's not actually like this, that he's, quote, I think I'm quoting this correctly. Using the relationship to prove he's a good guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This is my take on it. Someone in a previous relationship called out this guy for being a shit bird. And he's like, I'm gonna show them. I'm not a shit bird at all. And then he's doing he's pulling his stanza and he's doing everything opposite. There was an episode where George Costanza did everything opposite. It was on instincts. Interesting. And instead of being like a crazy sociopath, he was a decent company. And her question was, she wanted to know when should she date someone through the beginning of their mental health journey? I think she suggested maybe he goes into therapy and maybe some other stuff to fix himself and when do you not when you let them go let them go on this on their own? I forget what we said, but here is the update from the caller themselves. Hey guys, I am calling with a follow-up. I was on the Brian Simpson episode. Little good old Rachel Meister. I have apologized for my rambling message. I was so high. I've gotten help, though, so that's cool. So anyway, time went by since I sent that message and I ended up taking Naomi's advice before I even heard it. And I let him go and let him go on his journey and I'm really glad that I did. But Brian read me. He made me realize like I am scared of someone who checks all the boxes, you know? Like, I'm 26. I have learning to do. I have things to do. I have life to do. And I'm just like, I'm not as ready as I believe myself to be. So through some trial and trial and error dating after that little shindig, I'm now officially just taking a long break from dating altogether. I'm just going to come back to it when I'm more whole and feel just more steady. So anyway, thank you guys so much that piece of advice was like very invaluable. And I've been working on it with my therapist ever since. So you guys are fucking awesome and I hope Mabel is great and the cat and yeah, thanks so much. Doing the lord's work Naomi doing the lord's work. And that lord, Robin lord Taylor. Future guest on. The couple's therapy. A true dream in a delight. Okay, is there another update? No, we got two. Now we got two comments from where we reads episode. Stories that got people talking. Got people talking? She's my macintyre. She gave him something to talk about. So if you remember a woman called in and she just realized she is, I don't know about just realize, but she has come to realize that she is bisexual. Oh, right. She's married. And she doesn't know how to talk about it. She doesn't know how to tell her husband. All right. So we got a couple different suggestions from some listeners..

"Is, you know, does she let him go on his journey and hope he comes back, or does she stay by his side? Now I'm gonna tell you right now, I say let him go on his journey. I really believe you let somebody go on their journey because I think that because what you're asking of this person, when we say to somebody, go to therapy. We're saying, change. And the changes have to be huge, but it's a change. You're asking that person to change. And the fact is, you don't, none of us know how that change will manifest until we're in it. And I think when you're in a relationship, I wouldn't say stifling. It's just something like when you're in a relationship, you gotta be cognizant of that other person. And you have to like, you almost, I think you do end up changing in relation to them. Yeah. Because they're around because they're the person, you know? And I just think that he got to go figure himself out. Y'all can still be friends or whatever. I don't know if you wanna make him your number one. If he's gonna go on this journey, also, you can't make a man go to therapy or make any person go to therapy. I would always tell you to go to therapy, but you decided to go when you went. You know what I mean? Like I had said it, but you had to be fair though. You put the idea in my head. I don't know if I would have had that idea in my head to eventually go when I felt like I needed to. If you hadn't suggested it. And you weren't like adamant about it. Yeah, I wasn't bringing it up all the time. I was just like, maybe you wanna try this thing. Yeah, you could benefit from it. Maybe, oh, okay. Maybe it sounds maybe it's some more about me that I was psycho analyzing this lady more than this thing about the answers to her question, but it also sings I got a tinge of it just from her tone and everything that may be the idea of this person that checks all her boxes is scary to her. And she it looks like she's looking for a reason to run the other way 'cause she tells us she's had a habit of dating the opposite. And now here's someone that is perfect, according to her. And now she's looking for every little reason to be like, um, the same, this isn't for me. You know? Right. Like maybe her like she's a little too. Like maybe she's maybe it's not a red flag and she's color and she's painting it red. Hello, because I used to do I used to do that where it was like where it was like when I mess somebody that I actually respected and admired. I would convince myself that they were too good for me. You know? And it sounds like, you know, that's not her reasoning. She's saying this person was perfect, and now she's going, yeah, but I'm looking for a reason to let him go on his journey and it's like I don't know. I don't know about that because that is good advice. You should that I'm going to journey alone, but that's also not what people normally are tempted to do. Most people are like, I am not letting this go. Yeah. So the fact that you're hesitant is telling. This is an interesting take on it, Brian. Honestly, I'll let that stand. That's a possible side to this that this person is kind of like because they've been hurt doing some overthinking. But I was still saying that it's never a bad idea for anybody to go and talk this shit out. But I also just think it's like when you meet somebody and you're like, there would be so great if only they would go to therapy. That's kind of a big deal. You know what I mean? Like you're right, that's a big one. That you have to sort of figure out. Oh, and something she something she kind of glossed past is that he admitted he's a sociopath. Yeah. But that's not the surgeon. I know I knew I know. Yes. Yeah, okay. I guess here's the thing. It depends on how long you're in this relationship for. If it's the early days, I don't know if you how long you stick around, right, right? Right. If you're in it, like, you know, I went to therapy like, how far in. We had been dating for three years, right? Yeah. Two or three, two or three. When I started, right, and you already kind of invested at that point. I kind of want to see how this turns out. But I remember being afraid, remember when I was like, oh fuck, Kegel go to therapy and then he can leave me 'cause he gonna get his hair right. Like that's what I'm literally thought was gonna happen. So it's like, you gotta know somebody who go to therapy and find some shit out. Okay. And they could be like, you know what? This isn't it for me now that I've actualized or now that I've listened to myself. Yeah. So that's always a risk. But so is everything. I need everything is a risk. No, I know. It's kind of like, it just feels like, again, I think if you like him, I don't know, I was like, I think to be like, okay, well, let's see. Is he going to go to therapy? Because right now, what you said was like, you know, you want him to, you think he should, but is he even interested? Right. You know? And if he is that I would say, let him start that and it will be clear to you what you need to do. Meaning you're right. If he goes and he does start to almost kind of become more interior and just kind of like, I'm doing me right now or trying to figure things out, then no, he's not in a relationship place. But if he is doing it and able to talk to you about it or bring you into some of that stuff, then, yeah, you all can keep seeing each other. Yeah. Yeah. And certainly, this is under 6 months. I mean, can I go back to the thing about if this was just like where she was like, I think everything's great, but you know, it feels like he could use therapy. Then I would be like, oh, stick with them. But the fact that she's still has, I think that's the thing where I'm weaning towards the like, maybe let him do this on his own. If he even chooses to, exactly, you can't make nobody go and you don't want to be some person who's constantly just like, go to therapy, go to therapy, go to therapy, and it's like, at some point, it's gonna be like bitch, you got a therapy. You up here, telling everybody else to do. But I'm saying therapy. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, that could be the response. Like when you kinda get it somebody over and over, they can then kind of rebel against that or kinda go off and be like, stop telling me what to do and you know what you want. So like we all need it. Right. I wish there was a national therapy hotline like the suicide hotline where you could just call and be like, I need therapy right now. I think therapy should be part of frigging school, okay? There are things. What do we do? We take math and science like all through high school. You need to also have therapy once a week, okay? Part of the curriculum. Every student gets like 30 minutes. 'cause it's during the school day. So they can't do a full hour, okay? And they need to talk to somebody..

"It, I'm gonna leave you alone. I'm still gonna make fun of you. You know, I'm still gonna use you. It's a punchline and stuff like that. You know? Yeah. That's Miley Cyrus Chet Hanks like these people that use blackness as like a currency. That's who upsets me. And I was suspicious that that's what Rachel dolezal was doing at first. But then when I saw the documentary and I'm like, oh, she's still being black every day. We're trying to be, you know? Yeah. I love every day. Yo, that's admirable. 'cause now she's actually experiencing blackness, which is to have opportunities denied just ostracized in the white community and the black community. And she still won't stop. All right. Well, is this now a Rachel dolezal fan podcast? Rachel, do we love you? Do we support her journey? That could be a whole pocket. We can figure that out later though. We can also be neutral towards her. I think we have to do that, but we also don't have to be like, you know what? I admire you. Oh, I never admire Rachel, but. No. I feel very blessed her heart. That's my response, but I'm not here to be about to do this. You know? That's just like, okay, okay. All right, why don't we do a voicemail? Okay. This one, all right, I'm going to tell you this. This is going to cut off and then there's the person wrote in. The rest of it. Okay, I've told you all. There is a three minute limit on voicemails, okay? And if you can't keep it to three, you got to just stop. Stop. Maybe jot down a couple bullet points and call back, okay? Yeah, you need to outline. You'd have to outline it. Know where you're going. All right. All right, guys. Hey guys, okay, this is crazy. This is literally my third voicemail, and now I understand how people are like, I lost a couple of voicemails. Okay, I am going to get it all in to this one. Okay. It's not like that. I have had a very bad history of relationships for context. My last relationship with like three years with a Friends with benefits we fell in love, he admitted he was a sociopath and at the end, I was like, it's okay. There's still people who will love you out there ridiculous. I was like in the pits of just like lack of boundaries and lack of self love. So I have done a lot of work on myself previously to not kind of, but like really respect myself and love myself and be like, what are boundaries? What is a healthy relationship? So I had been crafting a list of who I think would be the perfect partner, usually I throw myself into relationships and people are like, you mean what's wrong with you? You need to get out of that. But this guy, I met him and he just kind of checked off almost everything and it was like, it was mind-blowing to me. I was like, you can not be a real person. This is amazing. You're genuinely a good guy. You're so kind. You're so nice. You're almost everything on my list. The one red flag that came up where I was like, oh, this might be a big deal is key he has these like, we only hung out for two weeks. And what I noticed is he would say things that shows me he have these like lack of boundaries that I used to have like he started to say things that made me think he's using the relationship to prove he's not a bad guy. He's not unlovable. And it looked like him being overly generous. Even if it burned him out or put him in uncomfortable positions and it was like he knew that he wanted a serious relationship and he said that he wanted it with me. You know, I would say things like, oh, I feel so comfortable around you. This feels like we've known each other for a long time. We also went to the same school together and didn't know it. There was a lot of little things that just drew us together. But he would say things like, oh, I feel like our souls have known each other for eternity. You know, it was just like you could very much tell he wanted a relationship to cover up something. So I was like, oh, you remind me of me. You should probably go to therapy. And he was like, okay, therapy scares me. I was like, I hear ya. Because he had a bad experience with his past relationships, like he also went through some traumatic shit. And I just see a lot of like my past self in him. So I was like, you're beautiful, you're lovely. Your heart just wants to love. And I love that you chose me to do it, but I think that you should clear reasons at first and he also told me he repressed his emotions. He doesn't know how to handle them, et cetera. So I want to know, when you see someone and you're like, they could benefit from therapy. What are when do you date someone through the beginning of their mental health journey? Okay. Okay. When you wrote it, what do you date someone through the beginning of their mental health journey, and when do you let them go through it on their own? And then I mean, there's a compliment at the end. I love this podcast so much and I've taken the deepest dive the past few months. Thank you guys so much for doing what you do and being who you are. Always love to keep in those comments. You love to keep it a compliment. But wait, let's go back home because no, I got to get a question again, okay? At the very end I should hear the bottom. Yeah, she dated she has dated sociopaths. When do you date someone through the beginning of their mental health journey? When do you let them go through on their own? Man, that would be there was a lot. There was a lot of questions that she wasn't asking. Did I want to answer, first of all, she said a mouthful, but why do you have a list? That's the weirdest part to me where you like, she said he checked everything on my list. It was like, is it how someone makes you feel like the only thing on the list that you matter? I mean, why do you have what is the list? That's what I need to know. Is it trust me? You're gonna get there in your therapy. You're gonna write a list at some point, okay? You got a band as fast, the love you want. You gotta write down, okay, what are my, I guess for me less than what a person has to be and more so the deal breakers, right? Like learning, what are the things? Yeah, girls, deal breakers. But you know, she said that she said red, she said the one red flag and then she didn't name no red flags. I choose. She was like, there was one red flag. He was telling me that he feels like our souls belong together and I was like, okay, well, we're getting there. This is what I got from it. Was that the red flag was that it felt like he was, he was trying too hard. Like it wasn't, you know, like when you're around someone and seems like they are like whatever they're doing. They're being nice to you and it's not natural and they're just doing it to cover something up. They're doing it to like she said this person it seemed like they were trying to prove like someone in a past relationship had told them like you're a piece of shit. And the guys like now trying to prove like I'm not a piece of shit or just like, you know what someone is like trying to just make you too close too soon. Too. Our souls know each other. It's like, we just had our second lunch. It sounds like maybe that. Like him trying to just like make them closer than they were. We both order tater tots. Our souls are in 21. Exactly, like that kind of vibe and you're like, okay, I need you to calm down. So, okay. Yeah, look at that. As soon as I can. So I'm wondering what she basically was she saying is like, he's a good guy, but she can see this, right? That he's kind of trying a little too hard or moving them a little fast..

"And some of you, and then I tried a few years back when I was living in a homeless shelter when I first moved to LA. It was a four veterans. It was a veteran. I racked veteran homeless shelter. And they make you use all of your VA benefits and medical stuff. And so I tried to go to therapy then. And I think I made it through three sessions with the First Lady and then she gave me homework. That's a no, no. I'm not. No, I'm not going home with Stan Tron's and now you evaluate me and it's just stressful. It's something I gotta think about, you know? And then the second lady, I remember her, I remember the, 'cause I used to catch the bus out there in the bus made me like, you know, 14 or 15 minutes late. And. That's it, in LA. Yeah. And this was all the way to west LA too. From my from little Armenia to west LA. Okay, that's okay, so you're taking what the two that all the way straight across? No, not all the way. You take the two, two, I forget the station. Take the two to a train station and take a train to another place and then take another bus. To the VA. You know, isn't this that sort of thing? You gotta leave two hours early just to make sure that kind of thing, and I was 15 minutes late and I'll never forget that we were in the middle of some deep shit and she was like really empathetic and concerned and that sort of thing. And then when the clock hit the time it was over, she just switched up. Just got real cold and like, well it's 2 o'clock and you know just from now on be on time. I was like, well, 'cause I feel you, but at the same time,.

"Then they'll try to change you. They've seen them. Oh, I've never seen anything like it. Can you be more like something I've seen before? Okay, so we know we know you as an RT story now. I think we've gotten there and drew. But here, you know, couples therapy honey. It's not. We're not here to talk about the biz, but of course I can't help it. We're here to talk to people about their relationship problems. They're, you know, romantic platonic familial honey. So we need to know where you're at, okay? Talk to us about relationships for you. You know, as a male comedian, the standards for you are not high. Okay. We're not expecting male comedians to have it together to let anyone in emotionally, you know. What has that been like for you? Is that a male comedian thing? I thought it was just me. It's a male comedian thing. Oh, wow, okay, yeah. I mean, obviously it's weird that I, 'cause I just finished real actual therapy. Right before this. Okay, interesting. I felt like you had a calmness about you. Now we know. Yeah. Well, but no, I think that I have. I just have to face the fact that I have intimacy issues. I have trouble being close. I don't have trouble getting close, but I have trouble being close. And I think what it is is I've been, you know, I trace it back to the foster child thing. Of, you know, sort of anticipating being kicked out of homes. And so avoiding closeness and so it's like, I think after years and years and years of avoiding closeness, even though I want closeness, I don't know how to be close once I get there. You know what I mean? It makes me it makes me uncomfortable and so I become one of those people and I think this is normal. I've become one of those people that at the first sign of just the first whiff of anything that's negatively happened to me in the past and I'm done with you. You know, and the people I really like, I keep it arms distance 'cause I don't want that to happen. You know, you don't want to see it. You don't want them to mess up. And in other words, if you're in my life, you are always welcome at the house. But you can't come in the house. You know? We're gonna have a stoop set. Yeah, exactly. If I really care about you, you can slide by whenever you want, but you can't come in. Okay. You know, it's that kind of thing, emotionally, I mean. Yeah, you were telling my real house. You know, but I've never said, I've never told somebody to make themselves at home. Uh huh. You know, I'm like, no, make yourself like you got someone else to live and want to go there soon. So does that mean like have you had any long-term romantic relationships or do you just kind of have hookups or just Friends? I've had dysfunctional long-term relationships. Well, I went to this, I went to this phase in my in my 20s to early 30s where I was dating, broken people. You know, it was sort of like, I think my logic was or my subconscious logic was that I would, you know, then if it was a fucked up person that needed me that they couldn't judge me for my fucked upness. You know? And maybe we could help each other or understand each other, but really what ends up happening is that you're just too fucked up people. Yeah. You know? It's like the blindly in the blind. You just it's impossible, right? And so yeah, and now I just, like I said, I just keep people at a distance. I never let it get past the interested phase. This is like, okay, that was fun. And, you know? It well, now Brian, what are we doing to work on that in therapy? You're too lovable. You're gonna keep me at a distance, but we all wanna be so close, Brian. I mean, honestly, I think I'm doing better than now because, you know, you gotta mix that also with the. Tremendous insecurity that comes from then in this business. You know, because it's also a thing of like, now that I'm on the verge of success, I feel like safer, does that make any sense? 'cause it's like and so now that I have my own base and foundation, now I feel like I can more ready to open up to someone or more ready to risk. Because what it is, right? Like love is risk. It's open up the gates. It's giving you the password. It's showing you the secret passageways. And so it's like, I think I'm more prepared for that risk. Now that I don't have to worry about starving or failing, you know, and that's what yeah, I like that love is pulling the candlestick and letting the bookcase. Right, right, it's basically going, you know, it's like, it's like, I'm an invincible warrior, but here's my weak spot. Yeah. And it's like, and I think I've met so many people that 'cause you know they say hurt people hurt people. So you dating her person and you tell them your vulnerability and then they go you ate the last donut. And then twist the knife right in your fucking Achilles heel. Oh my goodness. Yeah. When did you start to figure this stuff out? Is this relatively new? Or is this like something you've been working on for a little while? You know, it's something that I've always thought about, but I think I'm exiting that phase where because this happens, I used to notice this in my Friends and now I guess I'm acknowledging it myself, but you know sometimes you learn you get the words for something where you don't know where your problem is and then you read a book or you hear a quote or something and it has a language for it. And I think sometimes we learn those words and it's such a relief to actually be able to articulate the feeling that we think we've solved the problem because we can not because we can point at it and identify it. And so we don't actually do the work. You know, it's like we need to look like, oh, sorry, I'm bipolar. Like that. Because they know that what they did was okay. You know what I mean? Yes. It's that sort of thing. So it's like, I think I've known what's a call my issue for a longer than I've been actually working on the problem. So that's new, working on it is new. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Did you start therapy for the first time in the pandemic or before? No. Well, I mean, when I was a kid, I was going to therapy all the time when they make foster kids do that. Oh, I didn't they made you do. Yeah, but as an adult, yeah, this is the first time I've regularly gone to a therapist, 'cause I tried it before and I always quit them. Yeah, 'cause the first time I feel judged by a therapist, I'm out. Okay. 'cause I can't open up to you if you sitting over there judging me. You know what I'm saying? It's like, no matter what I tell you, if I tell you I killed a man or I drowned, drowned a lizard. I need you to keep a straight face. Right. Yeah..

"Wow. Well, I'll say what I'll say this. I would probably say the marines, but at least most of the people in positions of power in the military Yes. Where's the ouch in show business, you can just fail your way to the top, you know? And because all you have to do is be associated with something that is successful and no one no one ever looks into it to find out if you were part of the success or was it successful in spite of you? Right. Right. Or you just walk by the day it was successful. See what I mean? Right. Like you could have been in a person, you could have been a person that was trying your damnedest to ruin Mary with children. And but then you get to go to your next gig and go. I was the executive this or that on one of the most successful TV shows. And they go, okay, we'll put you in charge of this show and then you ruin that. You know? The difference is that in Hollywood, the business people of the show business don't necessarily, they don't, they don't get churned out fast enough. They don't, you know, they. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You get in a position of power and you're pretty much stay that way unless you rape somebody or murder somebody. And even then you might not mind your job. Right, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. And so that's to me, that's my big problem with Hollywood. It's just that there's no accountability in terms of the business people interfering with the creative side of stuff. Yeah, yeah, show this is like all West Point grads that were the children of generals. Right. Right, it's almost like, man. We pulled this off. We pulled this off in spite of you being here. Yeah. And you honestly believe that you were integral to the success of the project. Right. Yeah. That's a really good way of putting it. But talking about that, you know, you talk about the foster care the military stuff, the decision to come into this business is not, it's not an easy one to make when you are black when you don't come from money. Like I'm saying this all for myself too. Where it was like, I felt like if I was going to do this, there was no choice but to succeed. And I didn't have a long time to find out. Do you know what I mean? Hey, you write about that. I started when I was 28. And yeah, it was a decision, but it was also I was captivated by the idea of getting away with it. Because, you know, we have our little pockets, our little islands of happiness, right? Between the sea of depression filled with islands of joy, right? And when I'm on those islands of joy, I'm always like, I'm so damn lucky that I get to do this. I feel like I feel like I beat the game and now I'm playing back through with the extra items, you know? The unlocked items and yeah, it's not a smart decision to make with your life. And I never advise anyone to do it. Yeah. You know, whenever something young comics or whatever hit me up and they go, hey man, you got any advice? I'm like, make sure you really wanna do this 'cause you might not make it. And ain't nothing to do with your talent. None of that is like this shit's not fair. It ain't right, you know, and the happy stories are great, but it's like, it's definitely not something I would advise you to do. It's like, it's like telling somebody to be a musician, you know? Be a DJ, you know? Yeah, it's like, you could be dead mouse in 5 years, but you might just be. You might just be right. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Well, you're right. It's a funny decision, but to be honest with you everyone in my life was pushing me to keep doing this. Oh, that's good. So I don't know. I mean, those people really believe that I would ever be successful, but they really did believe that I was funny. You know, so. It's not like talent is immaterial. Because it can get because I've been thinking about this a lot that because I came out here and then I was just like, oh, I got real cynical real quickly and I was just like talent, who gives a shit. No one cares about that, right? But then I'm like, well, in a sense, there is something where like if you are good, it could put some people on your side at the very least. They still hire their children and their friends. First, but it might in the long run talent might help win out. Well, I don't know about win out. But no, no. Well, I think if you stay around long enough, you know, but I think that's not fair. I think there's that pressure that I always felt and I don't know if you feel this Brian too, this idea of being quote undeniable. And it's like, that's a lot of fucking pressure. You know what I mean? And I feel like that is not pressure that a lot of white kids who are funny feel. You know, her kids who just want our creative or who just want to do comedy. You know, I don't know, I don't know what's happening. It's something when I first got real serious about comedy, my mother told me that, you know, in every situation, it's always black excellence versus white mediocrity. And it's not that every white person is mediocre, but it's that you can need. You're allowed to be and still and for the same opportunity you can be okay and get it. I have to be amazing. Right. And so and I've always just kept that in mind where it's like, and I don't know how to be a mate because it's not like it's not like an amazing gym, you can go to. And work on your amazing, you just have to hope that someone sees it or thinks it or whatever. Yeah, and every time I felt like I felt that I would shake my fist at the sky and curse Zach galifianakis because that quote is attributed to him, right? He was like, just be undeniable. I mean, that's the first time I heard it. Oh, okay. It's him saying it. So yeah, but that's not something that you can be. All you can do is just keep working. Right. Yeah, right? Because trust me, somebody will deny you. You know what I mean? Exactly. They will find a way. But you know what I found too was finally when I got to the point where I stopped caring about.

"Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to another episode of couples therapy. My name is Andy. And I am Naomi. We're a real-life couple. A real life couple of comedians. And on couples therapy, we answer a couple different questions from a couple different listeners. Naomi, it was just your birthday, a little while ago for the listeners. A week ago for us, just a handful of days. Yes. And you got many texts from your estranged family members. Did you know I did? I got texts from family that I haven't spoken to or heard from. It was a roller coaster. But it's so funny. What kind of a roller coaster? Emotional. Yes. What? What kind? You were there. Yeah, did it feel like a real one? Did you feel the wind in your hair? The vomit in your throat? Well, my stomach did. And it did clench. But I will say the best one was from my Nigerian grandmother. What I love, of course, is she writes in all caps, but she's 90 blessed, okay? But what she's in this last email, she was like, so good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well, and that it was love to do boy. In all caps, J EW BOI won word. Now, walk me through this. Now she meant to write Joe boo, correct? Yes. I assume so. But if that's the case, then that means I'm like, she's out here watching my comedy. You know what I'm saying? Because even though jubo. Yeah, sure. Much love to the Hebrew lad. The Hebrew ad you've shacked up with. Jubilant almost sounds like a superhero, though. For some reason I'm imagining a cape, star of David in the center of your outfit. But I was like, it's also like, oh God, drew boy also sounds bad. You know, so I was like, so I was like, I can't engage with you boy, but of course the first thing I did was screen grab it and show it to you. And you did think you did tell me it should be a T-shirt. Yes. The whole the whole time. The whole text should be a T-shirt. Yeah, that's good. All the chaos. Listeners, would you enjoy that? A T-shirt that's just a text from Naomi's 90 year old Nigerian grandmother. It was very tender. T-shirts, by the way, Naomi. Oh, baby. Good holiday present would be a couples therapy T-shirt, a Jew boo. Boo. Proper spelling. Proper spelling. Two different styles. You gotta break vibe and you got the classic O's, our bagels and the W's a minora. So how whimsical do you want to be? That's the question when you make this purchase. You got to miss a bitch t-shirts. We got all the t-shirts for your holiday needs. All the teas for your holiday needs. In the literary and our social media bios. Speaking of holiday needs, I believe there's a little something you guys are gonna need to do this kwanza. Yeah. All right, this kwanza season. What day of kwanza specific? The fourth day, ujima, which I do believe is collective. Not collective work and cooperative economics, I believe. Ujjayi cooperative economics, which honestly may work, the cooperation. Would that be called socialism? Possibly. On Wednesday, December 29th, you can watch season three of the standups on Netflix. Your girl is episode two. Okay, so if I ain't in your queue, you better add it to the cube, and I want you to watch my half hour special on Netflix. We need the numbers. We need to go viral. We need to create a cultural moment. We need to go viral. You know, we need to go back to sound like a character in an Aaron Sorkin show. We got to go viral. Studio 60. Is that here's hurricane? Yeah, the one that didn't last. Exactly. So, but I just want people to watch, you know, I feel like it was great. I was there, again, obviously, I'm biased. Because I love you. But even if I hated you, I would have to, I would have to admit watching that being like, damn, that was a gosh darn. Gosh, darn, good set of improv. I'm stand up. So I just hope that, yeah, I hope it translates. You know, and I think all the listeners of CT, they know the journey that I've been on with this and putting it together in two months in a pandemic, trying to be the best, get it together. You can not hold my makeup against me y'all. I told you what happened with my makeup, especially if you own Patreon. So I wanna hear just focus on the content, focus on the content, baby girls, okay? Because that's what I have. But yes, December 29. I think that day on Patreon will do an episode where we watch it and give a behind the scenes commentary, right? Oh yeah, the page is always getting the inside track. We're always pulling back the sit curtain of showbiz. Speaking of the stand ups Naomi. Our guest today. Now we did this is what we did. We tried to do a couple episodes. Leading up to the release of the standups on Netflix, December 29th. Is that at midnight on the night before? Probably. With some of your fellow stand ups from that. So this week we have Brian Simpson. Yes, indeed, Bryan Simpson is so lovely so funny. Recently named one of vulture's comedians, you should and will know in 2021 and quite frankly, that's the fact 'cause he about to be on Netflix. So you can and should, no. This is great. We recorded this a couple months ago because we thought the status were coming out in October. That was what was supposed to happen. Absolutely. And Brian, it's super at the actual at your actual taping afterwards. We're standing outside. He came over and introduced himself. I know. He's like a nice friend. Look, you guys are in here, but his life, you know, it's so interesting. And he's so open. And we love it. Okay? So I say, let's stop pussy footing around and get to Brian Simpson. Roll it. How you doing? What's going on? What do you feel inside? I'm feeling good, man. I'm feeling I'm feeling relieved. I have taken the week off just to decompress. And.

He's got a couple of shows tonight. Couple shows tomorrow as well. Brian how cool is it to get back into to real clubs again. Did you do the zoom shows in the outdoor stuff and all that the last year a lot of outdoor stuff. no zoom things Yeah i couldn't take their father said you're not getting the reaction to right right right right. It's almost like being judged from a distance. What i it's awesome having clinton back open like it feels a bit feel like society's. How did you work on material without bouncing it off and going because you're trying to build a new set maybe you get a tight fifteen and then you can get it the half hour and forty five but it was hard to run it and kinda hone it right. Oh yeah definitely. I talked to myself a lot. Maybe maybe a little crazy. And i was sneaking. Do you have outdoor shows and stuff and every now and then any chance. I got I would. I would try to get set in. You know. it's the same. You just gotta you just gotta do the work and then as soon as i get back because i'm a veteran so i've had it right away. I just hit the road. So is it like riding a bike or it was a little bit clunky at first life. No i wouldn't say it was like random by if it was it was like it was more like it was more. It was more like a large adam car. You know like it was. It was so melia. But you know the veteran. I imagine you're a chef right. And but you just have you ever been in the kitchen and a long tap so like i feel about how to cook i. Just don't everything's just not readily available. I can't reach for the spices. You know so that. That's what i had to get back. Must retrain gotcha a couple. More questions for brian simpson. He's cobs funny. I remember when Oj got out there. A couple of comedians are like man. I wish i hadn't done them jokes now that he's out so we with with cosby out. Did you have any cosby like chunk that you didn't work anymore. No man i i. I don't have anything anyhow shakes on copy. I feel like you know when when reality is ridiculous. The joke you know there's no work can be done. The jumping just wrote it so but we kind of had that to what the last president i mean he was every day on. Twitter just was providing so much material. And i know some people. Their whole life was responding to that and now they don't you don't have that anymore. It's kinda crazy than that job because of different presents to realize you're not actually what do you think about see to me. Comedy is our and you either like are are you. Don't but you don't cancel it and so to me. It's one thing for people saying you know you can't do a joke about this. You can do that but to me. It's really upsetting when. I see comedians policing each other and i have found. It's usually the comedians who aren't a successful that are trying to shut people up yeah comedian. That aren't funny. i. I think that Because comedy asked a low barrier to entry. i mean. it doesn't take much to start calling yourself a canadian but but the to specify you're actually funny. I don't think they try to cancel. People like patrice o'neal saying like good jokes bags come from the same place we don't know if it's gonna work or not you know right you got we should be getting. We should be given the chance to try to make something. Funny it also. I think some people don't understand you don't have a monopoly on on how you deal with trauma some some people that have been through something that stuff they need the joke so they can feel that also making get something so because some particular subject effectively doesn't give you the right to stop people talking about you know no doubt and i think your background you know the way you a foster child and then you're a member of the united states marines by the way we're on american forces radio networks so some fellow fellow leather necks might be listening right now but That someone who who's been through. All that i mean i guess you know you're you're used to adversity and dealing with it. Yeah and i'm also used to abandon situations where things upset me that i can't do anything about like that. You not real fast from the military you gotta learn how to just move passing so you don't have the power to stop it. You just gotta do it right. And i think i think a lot of kids. They you know they. They're used to like on twitter and tattle tailing And it doesn't help them with their problems solving skills. You know one thing. That happens a lot in sports. And i know it happens with comedians as well as you might start off with a couple of guys and gals and and all of a sudden. They're getting a sitcom or they're they're getting Hbo special whatever and they always say. Compare and despair you kind of like. Did you think like my time is gonna come and it did. But what's coming up in that kind of friendly competition..
