One is a deadly disease. Two, 189 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: you just got to get tired, sick and tired of 190 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: being sick and tired. It wears you out right, It 191 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: will wear you out. 192 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: To continue a habit over and over and over again. 193 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: And see, I had a sex addiction, and little girl, 194 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: there's only so much sex you can have, for God's sake. 195 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 2: But here's the thing about the medication. It took my 196 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: therapist five years for me to come to that decision 197 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: because I thought it would take my edge.

I still got it, but I needed to 252 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: come down from those Broadway shows. When you can get 253 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: a standing ovation, you think you you think somebody wants 254 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: it to end.

I never thought I'd run around 269 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: quoting the Constitution. MM, but I understand this, and it 270 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: is my motto. We all have a right to the 271 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: pursuit of happiness. I wanted to be happy. I was 272 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: depressed for many years and didn't even know it. They 273 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: didn't have words like bipolar shit. I went on opera 274 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: a long time ago, told them sixty million people out 275 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: my pole. 276 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: I lie, I'm tripolar in these streets. 277 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: Okay, new shit, trip all the new shit. There's another 278 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: poll over there. But listen, you have to be in 279 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: it to win it. I gave up many times in 280 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: my career, but I didn't quit. You hear me, I 281 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: didn't quite. I tell these kids, you must dream the 282 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: dream and focus only on that so that you can 283 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: be well with your soul. You know what. 284 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that because Okay, so I too 285 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 4: was trying to figure out and here's you know. The 286 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: disclosure is, yes, I mean I've been in and out 287 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 4: of not in and out of. I mean I've you know, 288 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 4: I've had a therapist. I guess you can say in 289 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: and out. I've been doing therapy for like thirty years. 290 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 4: But you know, the thing is, when the pandemic came, really, 291 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 4: you know again like I don't feel like I feel 292 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: like a person shouldn't have to be at rock bottom 293 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 4: to make the change. So that's why I'm really glad 294 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 4: the pandemic happened because it wasn't a rock bottom moment, 295 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 4: But that was definitely a somewhat of a paradigm shift 296 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 4: for me and taken mental health seriously and all those things. 297 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: But you mentioned something, and I noticed that probably the 298 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 4: time that I might be liable to get in an argument, 299 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 4: I mean not a fight, not like pugilism or anything. 300 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 4: But there's a moment after I get off stage where 301 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: I can't describe the feeling. And you you said that, 302 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, so I'm not I've you know, 303 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 4: I just thought like, well mereor sometimes you're just in 304 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 4: an asshole after the thirty minutes after show. It's almost 305 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 4: like after a Root show, I purposely look for a 306 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: place to just sit silent and literally come down. 307 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: And I can't explain it. And the thing is is 308 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: like right after a show. 309 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 4: That's when people were pulling for you and oh, Mair, 310 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 4: let's talk to rite and I can't explain. And the 311 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 4: thing is, it's like, because these people aren't entertainers, it's 312 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 4: hard to really explain to them the process I go through, 313 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: which is kind of why. It's almost like an ad 314 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: that feeling of when you're done a show, and that 315 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 4: how you feel is such a description less addiction that 316 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 4: I can't describe that. I figured out that for the 317 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 4: at least the last thirty years, I've been doing DJ 318 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 4: gigs after the Root show because I love music and 319 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: because I love DJ, but basically I need to slowly 320 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 4: come down off that high normalcy. So usually after show 321 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: I will DJ for three hours so that way I 322 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 4: don't have to talk to people. I'm playing music and 323 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: I come down. But and sometimes when I'm not DJing, 324 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 4: I wonder what that is. And I thought I was 325 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 4: the only person going through that because again, if you 326 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: I feel weird in talking about the mental health space 327 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: thing and have my occupation because I always feel like 328 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 4: people look at me like, eh, here's the world Steiny's violin, like, 329 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 4: if people are in a certain profession, they might not 330 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 4: they might feel unworthy of having problems or whatnot. 331 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: Like people might not. 332 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 6: At this point, the world knows entertainers have trauma. Right, 333 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 6: I'm just let me interject here, yes, yes, please please, yeah. 334 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 6: First of all, we are not normal creatures. Yeah, right, 335 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 6: we are artists. We are different, Are we better? Are 336 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 6: worse than anyone? 337 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: No, we just are who we are and we form 338 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 3: who we form. 339 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: The artistry. It's like Lena Simone said, an artist's duty. 340 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: Is to. 341 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 3: Speak to the times. 342 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: Needa Simone didn't hide her pain. Needa Simone laid it 343 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 2: on the piano. We have to learn where to put 344 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: that quest. You have to put that somewhere. You have 345 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: to compartmentalize that you expressed it beautifully. It's called a 346 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: glory train.
