1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: It might get canceled for what I'm about to say.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Oh says you will show you're not that part of it.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: But what I'm about to say, but I don't care.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: It's time that somebody actually said it. Okay, for real. Careful,

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: if you're standing, sit down, If you're sitting, stand up.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: If you're on the freeway driving right now, slam on

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: your brakes, if you're in traffic stopped, hit the accelerator,

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: press on the gas. All right, here it is. Here's

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say. That's crazy, so crazy that

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: it might get me canceled. I think the world is

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: actually getting better. Oh that's a good thing. Sorry about that,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Sorry about that crazy talk. Right, don't tell the angry

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Karen's that I said that not everything is all bad.

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: I say that because a new law has just been

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: passed in Illinois that I think is a great thing.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: It's definitely something different and it might be coming here soon.

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: But a Illinois school children will now be given five

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: mental health days off every year from school. It's love that. Yeah,

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: I would totally abuse that as a kid five feet

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: days off? Do you understand what a mental health day is?

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: And no, I do? Doing whatever you want, right, No,

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I would mental health live by what because I'd say

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: to my mom, oh I need a mental health day off. No,

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: probably five of them, so that's fine, just fine for free.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: So you can just determine it as a mental health day. Yeah,

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I want to take them into healthday today. Everybody in

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: the world should be able to take mental health days

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: from time to time because everybody needs it because the

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: world is a stressful place. It is offices, a lot

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: of workplaces will do it, but it's not mandatory, right,

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: and I think it should be mandatory for people to

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: be able to go, I need a day off because

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm at my max. Yeah right. I also feel like

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: culprit they can kind of look down on you if

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: you take one. It's ridiculous. They just like work us

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: to death. But I did read something like back in

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: the day, like not too long a it, probably five

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: years ago, that is said people should take a mental

39
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: health day every six weeks. Really absolutely agree with that. Yeah,

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: And it's aside from vacations and all of that. So

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that too. I completely agree with that

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I agree with that, And that's why

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I say the world might be getting a better place,

44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: because you also see all those things about how we

45
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: work our fingers to the bone. If you work at

46
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: a job as you're doing stuff with your fingers, I

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: guess or that's just a figure of speech. I'm not sure.

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: I take things too literally sometimes, but we work hard, right,

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: way too hard. Five day work week. People work on

50
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: the weekends eight hours a day. You have to be

51
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: there for eight hours a day a lot of times.

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: And then they do these studies where they go, you

53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: know what, people work better for two hours a day

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: from home once a week. More productive, way more productive.

55
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: But people won't do it because they're just basing everything

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: based on these old guidelines. Right. And the same with school.

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: A new law in Illinois was passed that children will

58
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: be given five mental health days off a year. Lawmakers

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: say that the bill will help students cope with anxiety

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: and depression. And because look, no matter who you are,

61
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: everybody deals with anxiety to a certain extent. Look at

62
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: the world, right, the world is an anxious place. People

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: run around this little ball of anxiety all the time,

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: worried about something. We're all worried about something. Everybody needs

65
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: a mental health day, and it's nice that people are

66
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: finally realizing that, especially in school, right because you discredit

67
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: the way that kids feel a lot because they're kids,

68
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and it's like, dude, come on, got your phone taken away?

69
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: That's your big problem. That's your big problem. You know

70
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: how much money I owed in taxes. Your problem is

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: you can't get on TikTok. Shut up. But for them,

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: in their world, that's the biggest thing. So that's a

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: big deal, right, pretty But yeah, I mean I love that.

74
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: I love they're giving them five days a year. That's

75
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot. But here's what I'm thinking. I'm like, well,

76
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the parent know that they're taking this day, right, Yeah,

77
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: so because I can't just like not and go to

78
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: school if their parents thinks are going to school and

79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: then just like who knows what they're doing? Yeah, like

80
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: like doing graffiti and they're like no, I'm laughing right

81
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: now because on paper, this sounds like an amazing idea,

82
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: especially as far as I'm concerned, because like I preached

83
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: mental health stuff all the time, and I'm like, this

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: sounds like a great idea. Also, I'm thinking of me

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: when I was that age. Yeah, oh man, I would

86
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: have used this thing, just what I would have done. Yeah,

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: because I just don't understand whether like your parent calls

88
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: in you sick or calls you in as a mental

89
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: health they. Yeah. Yeah, Like I'm kind of a bad

90
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: mom when it comes to certain things, like I don't

91
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: read all the pamphlets for the school and stuff, so

92
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: I might miss things, you know, But I don't think

93
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: there's like a certain amount of like sick days that

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: you have allocated. It's just like you take as many

95
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: sick days as you need, you know. But then but

96
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: then again, I'm like, yeah, I think I got close

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: one time in there, Like if you miss more days

98
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: than you're going to be like kicked out. Yeah, miss days.

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: I just went to school. Oh wow, you're so good.

100
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: It's like that's the weird thing. Alex is the most

101
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: respectful disrespectful person I've ever met, literal honestly, Like she

102
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: is so respectful of rule because I'm not. I'm just

103
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: straight up disrespectful. If I'm just if I'm being disrespectful,

104
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm just disrespectful all over the place. Like at work, right,

105
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even show up even though I have to

106
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: be there, I just won't show up. Right, Alex will

107
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: still show up, but then just not be there mentally again.

108
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: But I'm here. I'm being respectful. Also, no, yeah, it

109
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: was a rebel. That was actually my high school mascot.

110
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: All right, so kind of a rebel. It makes sense.

Speaker 1: Text in four one oh six. One. Do you think

112
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
