3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: welcome back to Unbreakable, mental health podcast with Jay Glazer.

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Today is about being different. I'd like to use a

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of my friends and their stories to talk about

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: the power of some of the subjects we bring up today.

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up my buddy Elliot. Louise Elliott was

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: the first veteran that walked into Unbreakable before m VP

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: merging vets and players ever started, and he got brought

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: in by one of my other coaches, Gabe actually gave

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: us a marine veteran, so I guess Ellie would be

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: the second. But man, Elliott came in every day and

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: he limpton. He hasn't injuries, and he would walk in

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: there every day and not look you in the eye,

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: kind of his head held down, never make up really

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: that much eye contact. Oh it's pretty down. So one

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: day I just said Elliott, hey, man, what's up. What's wrong?

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I gues said, what's wrong with you? And he said, well, ma'am,

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: it's on this mission we save these seven American POWs.

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: But in the process, the bad guys they had a

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: truck to try to get him back. I shopped the truck,

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: truck flipped over, hit razor wire. Razor wire hit me

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: in the leg, grabbed my leg, shoot, took me in

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: a ride. I've had fourteen surgeries. My wife has to

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: help my pants and get me out of bed. Got

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: multiple sco sclerosis now because of it. So man, yeah, man, man,

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: it sucks. And I said, back up, did you just

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,080

00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: but don't yet. But me, did you just say you

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: saved seven American POWs? Yeah, not yeah, but he said

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: yes I did. I said, Okay, from now on I

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: want you to walk around these streets and look at

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: everybody else out and go. I didn't like the rest

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I said, from now on, I want you walk around

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: these streets. Everybody you see, look right above their eyes,

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: right above it. Not what your head held down, head

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: held even higher than all of us, because we have

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: not saved seven American POWs. So man, start changing the

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: way you view yourself? And he said, what am I

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,799

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the way you view yourself? Just like that. It takes

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: a fraction of a second to choose to change the

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: way you view yourself, or to choose to make a

50

Speaker 1: change in your life. It doesn't take a week. It

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: really didn't take a dull day. It takes a fraction

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: of a second, a blip to make that choice. Next

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: day it came in, made that choice. He has been

00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: unbelievable ever since. And the people he's now saved because

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: he saved himself that day. I wonder what one saved him.
