Speaker 1: too many failed to receive the support they need. Charly

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: In Behavioral Health is doing something about it. They understand

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: that behavioral health is a key part of whole health,

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: tease you all now something, and this is listen. I

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: am a big god guy. I'll tell you all that

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't drive religion down anyone's throats. I don't drive

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: God down anyone's throats. But I want to talk about

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: something that Rosie and I start doing. We have these

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: three minute God talks now at night, and I started

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: doing these early. Now do you understand me? Growing up?

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: I was always punished. It was like every night I

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: got post and I got brought upstairs into this dark

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: room with by the way in this dark room. My

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: parents put this monstrous picture of a clown in my room,

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: like huge, like it in my room, Like what was

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Guess that's Fryly why I'm so fucked up.

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: But so I would hide and do these covers every night,

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: and I would be so lone and lowly, and I

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: just started talking to God. No one taught it to me.

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I just started talking to God. So if people say

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: to me, oh, you're so stupid for believing in God,

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: why am I stupid for believing in someone that I

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: was talking to when I was a scared little kid

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: made me feel better. Power and numbers for me makes

33
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: me feel better. And over time I kept those talks

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: going as I got older. To this day, I go outside,

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: I just talk to God. It's a god. It's your friend,

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer. I hope you're doing well. I love you.

37
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: It's always great to say I love you to somebody,

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: and I'll just talk about what's going on in my world,

39
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: because like at one point I thought to myself, said, man,

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I must be lonely with everybody possibly asking of things

41
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: or saying I didn't get what I wanted, So I

42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: don't believe in you anymore, or it must be your

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: fault angry at God. I want you to change it up.

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Say you know what if I did to say I

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: love you to someone every day and not feel lowly,

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: that's all I need. What do you want from a

47
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: parent or a best friend? You just want them to listen.

48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't go to your parent and say, give

49
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: me this car, give me this job, give me this money,

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: get the girl out to break up with me. You

51
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. What would do it a god? God

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: is the greatest escapegoat in the world. And you know

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I never understood why friends of mine atheists took offense

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: that I believe in God like it helps me, helps

55
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: me not feel alone. You don't believe. You don't believe.

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not pushing God on you here. And this

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: is not a religion thing. I wouldn't adventure into that.

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: That's way too much. But I'm just telling you what

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: works for Rosie and I. Now two of us go

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: outside and we talk to God as if we're talking

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: to our friend. We're like we're talking to a therapist.

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm Jewish. What could be more Jewish

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: than saving one hundred and fifty bucks an hour in therapy,

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty much dealing with it with Todd saying

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: in the one fifty, there's a lot of times you

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: go and talk to your therapist and no go, they

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: listen to you and they say, howes it make you feel? Well?

68
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: I end up listening and talking this out on my own.

69
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: But I just never ever, ever felt fully alone by

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: these talks. Start them as a scared little kid under

71
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: those those sheets and those blankets, and I continue them

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. And I constantly talk.

73
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: And my thing too, is like God's given us rainbows

74
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: on the speech. I'm overlooking right now and you know

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: straight feeling we feel all the time when you see childbirth,

76
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: when good things do happen to you, even in grief,

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the bond we have, so I send myself if I

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: want to consider God my best friend, and God's fably

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: going through a lot too. Some just start talking to

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: God like a friend, not asking for anything. Hey God,

81
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I got it. If I didn't be successful, that's on me.

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I got it. All I'm asking for you is to

83
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: just be there for me, not let me feel alone,

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and when I fall down, pick me up, brush me off.

85
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's keep walking this walk together. So I've tried this

86
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: with Rosie and now at home she loves it. Maybe

87
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: you guys can start doing the same thing as well.

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: There's no perfect way. This wasn't taught in schools. Just hey,

89
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: go outside like you're talking to one of your best

90
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: friends and show some love back. It's always great. I

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: find to start the day and end your day by

92
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: saying I love you to someone, and this certainly finishes

93
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: my day in a much plewer way. Let's keep walking

94
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: and walk together.
