Salute to us. Okay, because 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: there was the time when the conversation around mental health 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: was so stigmatized that people couldn't be open about their 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: mental health issues, like you would have to make up 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: all types of silly stuff lying to get out of things, 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: because we couldn't just say, hey man, you know, mentally 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to do it all right, 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: whether it's anxiety, depression, grief, whatever it is, that's uh, 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, keeping you from showing up to be yourself. 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: We were afraid to just say that. But now we've 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: gotten to a beautiful point in our society where when 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: folks feel mentally exhausted, they can just say they're mentally exhausted, 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: and I, for one respected and appreciate it. To when 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: folks like Rusting Now if they are pulling out of 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: something for mental health reasons, that someone who deals with 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: their own you know, anxiety and about to depression and grief, 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: I overstand, you know why he's pulling out of his 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: European tour. So it really bothers me when folks like 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: a little Pump makes statements like this, you got mental 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: health issues.

All right, 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: how do you insult someone by calling them something that 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: so many people enjoy a right not to mention, there's 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: nothing weak about a vagina, sir. In fact, they should 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: make tires out of the same material as vagina walls. 43 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: You would never need a new tire. Okay, they would 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: be the most durable wheels on the planet. But I digress. 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: What I'm really sick of is people trying to downplay 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: with other humans are going through mentally. How do you 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: know what Russ is feeling on the inside?

You know, 50 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: your uncle Sharla agrees with that, because the craziest people 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: But I would love to know, Pump, how exactly are 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: you dealing with those mental health issues? Huh that you 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: say you're dealing with because you're probably dealing with them 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: the same way a lot of us used to by 56 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: suppressing them. Okay, by staying busy. Oh you didn't know 57 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: staying busy as a trauma response. Huh? I know, I 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: know you find relief in your work you find relief 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: that studio. Well, guess what most symptoms of PTSD reflect 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: someone who is capable of functioning in the world as 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: long as they remain stimulated, because you are afraid of 62 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: what will happen when you stop moving. For pumping anyone 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: else who wants to downplay what people are going through 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: in regard to their mental health. When you stop suppressing 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: your emotions and numbing yourself with drugs and alcohol or 66 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: you know, staying busy, watch what happens to you, Okay, 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: when you have a complete mental and emotional breakdown because 68 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: you've just been running, running and running, pushing, pushing, pushing, 69 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: not stopping to deal with anything, watch what happens. I 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: guarantee you it's just gonna be a wham. You're gonna 71 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: hit that wall. And guess what, when you hit that wall, 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the only thing you're gonna be able to do is 73 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: lean on that wall and rest. Sometimes walls are there 74 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: so we can lean on them and rest. That's why 75 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: we hit them. Okay. I just want all of us 76 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: to be more compassionate when it comes to people who 77 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: deal with mental health issues, because it's hard enough trying 78 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: to explain something that you don't fully understand. And if 79 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: you are person that doesn't fully understand it, just be quiet, okay, 80 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: because I guarantee, little Pump, at some point you are 81 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: going to be dealing with something in your head that 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: you don't quite understand. And it's not until we are 83 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: lost that we begin to understand ourselves. And Pump, when 84 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: you get lost, we will be here to help you 85 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: find your way okay, when you need it. But in 86 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: the meantime, please understand the best way to keep your 87 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: peace of mind is to not disturb the peace of 88 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: mind of others. Please give a little Pump the biggest 89 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: see hall please all right, I just don't understand it, 90 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Like I'm just why when somebody says they have to 91 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: pull out of something because of mental health issues, somebody 92 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: has to come out and say that has to come 93 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: out and call bs on it. Well, why let's open 94 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: up the full lines eight hundred five, eight five one 95 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: or five one? When people say mental health, do you 96 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: do you agree? Do you believe you? We do understand that. 97 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: You know, the conversation around mental health had been stigmatized, 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, for so long, and I hear people say 99 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: things like, oh, you know, people are just you know, 100 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: talking about this stuff so much now because it's trendy. 101 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: Are maybe because people have the confidence to speak about 102 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: it now because so many people are talking about it now. 103 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: I get it, but it but it is a It 104 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: is a line, right. And the reason I say it's 105 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: a line because you know, when somebody commits a crime, 106 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: somebody does something and they get caught, the first thing 107 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: they say is it's mental health related. And sometimes I don't, 108 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily, but it probably is. But that don't 109 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: mean that they get they don't have to deal with 110 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: the consequence of their actions, right. But sometimes I and 111 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: it's just me thinking, sometimes I think it's bullcrap. How 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: you got to go to the extreme? Though I ain't 113 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: talking about but I'm talking about stuff like rus But 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just pulling out of things. But I'm 115 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: just telling it's it's an excuse that I feel that 116 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: people use, and I feel like when people are really 117 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: going through it, people don't believe it because I feel 118 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: sometimes people use it as an excuse. So when people 119 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: are really going through it and they talk about it, 120 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: people don't believe them either. So what the hell a 121 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: you're supposed to do? When you're talking about the line. 122 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'm damned if I do, 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: damned if I don't. If I talk about it, then 124 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: you're just using as an excuse could pull out of 125 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: your tour. All you just don't want to fight, you 126 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But if I don't say anything 127 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: and I just pushed through and I don't and I 128 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: show up and I'm not my best self and I 129 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: project all this negativity on the people whose fault is 130 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: again say this is gonna sell foul. It's gonna sell foul. 131 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: But well, shut up there, No I'm not. But if 132 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: I don't want to go to work, what's the easy 133 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: exxcuse that nobody really can check. What's the reason you're 134 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: not going to work? I have mental health mental mental 135 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: health issues. But what if it's really got exactly And 136 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: you shouldn't after my point, you shouldn't have to because 137 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: some things are out of our realm of understanding. Like 138 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: it's hard enough to try to explain something that you 139 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: don't even fully understand yourself. You know, you just wake 140 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: up some days and you're like, yeah, I don't want 141 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: to show up.

Do you realize 187 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: pushing through is what has caused that person to hit 188 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: the wall? You know what I mean, They've probably been 189 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: pushing through their whole life. You know, staying busy, which 190 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: is which is a response to trauma. That's what staying 191 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: busy is a response to trauma because when you stop 192 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: for that moment, you gotta deal with all the things 193 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: you've been running from. That's why COVID was such a 194 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: eye open up for so many people, and it made 195 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: so many people start sitting down and go talk to 196 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: therapists and whatnot. Because COVID made us be still for 197 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: the first time, and a lot of us didn't like 198 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: what we saw. Yeah, no, I get it, and I 199 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: do believe people do have mental issues. But I also 200 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: feel like people use it as an excuse. I feel 201 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: like it's in an easy excuse to use because it's 202 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: something that can't be checked. It can't it can't be verified. 203 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: It's just something within yourself. And I feel like people 204 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: tend to use it. Let me ask a simple question, 205 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: who are we to say, hey, this person's lying about 206 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: what they're going through mentally, what they're going through emotionally, 207 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: How the hell do we know? And I know that 208 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: if somebody like Russ is walking away from millions of dollars, 209 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like Russ isn't hurting anybody, nobody, correct. 210 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: The only person that's gonna suffer in this situation is Russ. 211 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: He's walking away. If he's walking away from millions of 212 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: dollars for whatever reason, you already got to sold out 213 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: European tour. That lets me know clearly there's something wrong. 214 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: And I salute Russ that you know he's able to 215 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: articulate what it is that he's going through mentally, because 216 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: for so long, man, so many of us couldn't, like yo, 217 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: you be dealing with mental issues, you'd be dealing with 218 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: emotional issues, and you couldn't say, hey, man, I'm stuffering 219 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 1: from mental health issues. You got to make up some 220 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: other excuse, like you said earlier, something about lying on 221 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: your dog or something like that, some about the dog 222 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: eating kids. What do you say, what are you talking about? 223 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: What did you say it was something about the kids 224 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: and something. I don't remember what it was. All I'm 225 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: simply saying, but whatever it was, it stupid excuses like 226 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: that we used to have to make up. Oh I 227 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: would say that that you people to always say that 228 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: their kids were sick, but it would be an excuse, 229 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: or that's right, something like that. That's right. Well, let's 230 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this, Hey Alicia? 231 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Talk to a Celicia.

I'm 235 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: a mental health counselor down in Florida, and I mean 236 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: every single day I work in residential treatment down here. 237 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: And we have people that you know, our CEOs of 238 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: companies are professional athletes, you are they at home moms 239 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: or teachers. We have special education teacher in my center 240 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: right now who had a mental health breakdown. And I 241 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: cannot imagine this woman. She's been a psychotic break At 242 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: this moment, she should be teaching second graders, you know, 243 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: that's her job. That she's on leave. From and I 244 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: cannot even imagine this woman showing up to work for 245 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: five minutes without a catastrophe occurring. So people really need 246 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: to understand mental health is not a joke. It's not 247 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: an excuse. People can use it as an excuse, just 248 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: like during the pandemic, people call it off because they 249 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: said they had a fever or whatever, and you just 250 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: let it flyde because you'd rather them not come around 251 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: and bring their potential, you know, negative exposures to the 252 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: workplace if they need to do something to focus on 253 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: themselves or to get themselves in their health space. So, 254 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: you know, when he's performers, especially these artists, celebrities, a 255 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: lot of them do have anxiety that's crippling. A lot 256 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: of them do have, you know, identity issues that they 257 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: struggle with just showing up and putting out this image 258 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: that there's somebody that we all expect them to be, 259 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: and if they fall short of that, like Charloagne said, 260 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: we criticize them for that. We criticize them if they snapped, 261 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: we criticize them if they have like a bad night. 262 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: So when these people say they just need a day 263 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: off or a night off, or they've got to cancel 264 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: a tour. I feel like we all have the people 265 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: need to learn how to respect those boundaries that people 266 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: are trying to sit up.
