I'm gonna be seeing how long it will take to get my boyfriend in the mood. Okay, chill. I'm gonna take off my bra. I'm gonna go change out of my workout clothes. I'll see you soon.  What do you think? Face it. Face it. Face it. Face it. No! For what? This is how you wake up in the morning with a good spray bottle. I have to shave and finish before we start filming. Why are you filming right now? Because this is the part of a good day, is to start off with team Mariah coming at you with a spray bottle. I literally... As you guys see, Bill is currently in the other room still getting ready. I had to get him with a spray bottle because you guys already know Snap hates that thing. And then it's what we use to get him out of the tree. He actually has not been in it recently because it is terrifying. But I had to start off the video a little bit strong and funny.  Today I'm gonna be seeing how long it will take to get my boyfriend in the mood. You guys love these type of videos and I had to pull through today and I want to see. I want to try to test him today. I want to see how long it will take him to get in the mood. I will do some things here and there. The first thing I'm gonna do is go out there and just a towel and throw it at him and start off the video that way. I had to go strong. I had to go hard. Maybe that will be... It's gonna be funny if he breaks loose that quick. He has no idea I'm filming this video. He thinks we're just gonna be vlogging today. He actually thinks we're filming the candy cane kissing challenge, which we actually are filming that. We're actually going to Target to get a bunch of different flavors to film that video. So we are gonna be filming that video today, but he thinks we're just gonna be vlogging to go to the store and get those candy canes. But in reality, I'm pranking him. I'm gonna go to the Muggle Squad. This is about to be the same.  If you guys are not already subscribed, make sure you go down and hit that subscribe button and join the Muggle Family because unfortunately vlogmas is almost over and I want to cry and it's so sad.  We will still be posting Monday through Friday for you guys. We're super excited to keep a consistent schedule going. But yeah, so today I'm just gonna basically see how long it will take his boyfriend to get in the mood and the first challenge is going out there but naked in my towel. So wish me luck. We're gonna test his limits. We're gonna see how long it takes and you guys already know, like I keep saying over and over again, Bill is super affectionate and loving. I think he's gonna let loose quick. Like I think he's gonna just want to be getting him right in the mood right away. Just wait for it. We're gonna see. I'm gonna literally push as hard as I can to get him in the mood. I'm gonna go so hard on this video. And that's why I'm starting up with literally wearing a towel. Also wanted to say Muggle Squad. I am so in love with my first Ira Louie bag. It's super cute and I love how little it is. Shout out to Bill. If you guys have not seen our cheap versus expensive gift video, I actually got to keep this gift because I picked the right one. And I also love this bag too because I love it for like traveling and stuff. What I said to show that. But all right guys. So I'm gonna wait till he's done getting ready and I'm gonna go when he's out of the living room to go out there. And I'm just gonna drop my towel. Oh God. Wish me luck. All right guys. I'm only showing my head up right now because I am naked right now in a towel. I heard Bill living room right now cleaning up so I'm gonna go out there right now and take off my towel and see how he reacts. Let's see. Hi babe. Babe. What do you think? Put your clothes on. You don't like it? You don't like it? The blinds are open. I know but I thought this would get you in the mood. You're in the mood?  Are you in the mood? No. I'm ready to go to Target. What? Just love about me right now.   That's all you're gonna react to. For everyone. That's all you're gonna react to? I'm butt naked. Yeah. You look good. You always look good. Here.

I hope you have everything on your shopping list and everything because it's coming quick. Guys, if you guys have not grabbed your marble merch or you guys haven't, you know, asked your parents for a marble merch, our marble merch is down in the description. And you can get it. It's on our comment. Yeah, it's down. If you look on it, if you just scroll down really quick, you'll see our merch literally in the feed. But guys, that is not what we're, you know, talking about today.  I was gonna be. Woo. You're already, look at, she's already loving up on me. It was tasty. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, chill.  Basically, it's gonna be a little less than that. She's touching me. No, it's gonna be a lot more than that. The goal of this video is to go and get as many different types of candy canes as we can. Yes.   Yes. You cannot know what I did. So you have to be turned around. And at Target the other day, we actually found a bunch of cool ones. We're gonna go there. Hopefully they have them still there. But we didn't buy them because that was for the video that we filmed. It's the cheapest expensive. Cheapest expensive Christmas video. Yes. Make sure to go watch that if you haven't. I know you guys are loving it. But we did do a chapstick challenge way back in the day, like a year and a half, two years ago. Yes. We had to throw in a little Christmasy one to a candy canes. Yeah, no. I think this will be awesome and I think you guys will love it. But now we're just gonna go to Target and... Try to find as many as we can. Let's go. Hopefully there's a lot. Babe. I cannot wait until, like, we're done filming and we can just relax and, like, cuddle and just, like, kiss each other and, like, love each other. Like, I'm so excited. Oh, you want to cuddle? Yeah. We watch our show. I can't wait to, like, lay on top of you and stuff and just, like... Oh, it's kinda like... Are you, like... Eww, Bill. What? I mean a little bit.  Oh, my God. Why? You're not in the mood? Well, do that. No, I'm not. But later... Later, you'll be. Okay.  Are you filming this?  Yeah, I just heard something. Look at his butt, guys. Oh, my God. It's so luscious. Yum. So, we just made it to the Candy Cane Al Mara. I didn't realize how many cool it was. Are you kidding me? Look at this. It's hot tamales. All right, we got hot tamales. I remember that. There's sweetarts. Oreo. Who makes an Oreo candy cane? Like, come on. And then there's all these other different flavors. Honestly, I think we're just going to grab, like, one of everything. Yeah, we should. Are we sucking on him? Like, I don't know. Okay, stop. This is going to be a pretty big target round. The people at the cash register are probably going to be looking at us. Like, we're crazy. Like, why do you need all these? All right, so we got Oreo. What is that? Asamali. What else are we getting? Oh, cheese. The one in there. Sour Patch, yes. We get jelly bean? Oh, jelly bean. Oh, my gosh. They have everything. Wait, I want to get one of these, too. I want to get one of these. This has multiple everything. It's a starter. Oh, my gosh. We already have these at the house, so we don't need to get any of those. I think that's good. I think that's good. I think that's enough, because all of these come with multiple flavors. So we'll have many tries and chances to get this done. Yes. They're different flavors. Starburst, too. Yeah, I know what I'm saying. We just got a target. It wasn't that big of a run, though. It wasn't that big of a run, but we have so many freaking candy canes. We probably have over a thousand candy canes, and we're literally only going to be using, like, 50 of them.  What? Don't say something like, careful, man. Guys, I'm the driver of the relationship, so Mariah, she drives sometimes. Besides, if we drive our Corvette, then I'm the driver. But I mostly drive. I like driving. I feel like you don't. Come on. No kissing, driving. Yeah, those are really juicy today. So we're about to make it home and get this challenge started. I'm really excited.  Are the workouts working? Yeah, they are. Dang, you are looking sexy. Mariah literally stuck it with all these. I'm sorry, but it's so sexy seeing you carry all that. Like seeing your muscles pop after carrying all that.  I can't even talk because you're making me stop it. This is the hottest thing you look at him. Okay. Okay, stop. Show him. Bill. See, when you walk like that, that's hot. Oh, my God. You're turning me on just by carrying groceries. All right, guys. Now is the time of the video where I'm going to go full fledged. I don't really know how he's feeling right now, but I know after I'm done doing what I'm about to do is I'm hoping this just totally puts him in the mood. So what I'm going to go do is I'm going to go and change in a workout clothes. Obviously, this isn't really a workout clothes material. So I'm going to change. I'm probably going to still wear this top. I'm just going to put on some shorts and then I'm going to, I have actually have a mat and I have like weights and I'm going to be like, hey babe, can you spot me? It's going to be so funny.

2020 has been a challenging year and the holidays will certainly be more intimate than we are used to. But at Produce Made Simple, we still want you to have a delicious season, which is why we're sharing seven decadent desserts we think you should try. First off, some wonderful desserts to finish off a special meal. Our maple apple pavlova is our seasonal take on a summer treat, featuring local Ontario apples. You could also make your meringue smaller to easily adapt this for individual servings. A classic trifle is a festive dessert that can be made in glasses for smaller serving sizes and it can be made ahead of time, leaving you free to enjoy your meal. Use any combination of berries that you love. Did you know that you can still find local greenhouse strawberries throughout the winter? Why not look for these to include? If you have to be apart from those you love this season, we suggest you make and deliver some delicious squares or a loaf to remind them that you care. Check out our recipes for apple cheesecake squares or a moist apple spice bread. Finally, who says dessert has to be after dinner? These recipe ideas are delicious for brunch too. If you haven't tried potato-based breads, you're in for a treat with our potato cinnamon buns. They are a great way to use up leftover potatoes.  They are an obvious win for breakfast, but serve them like a crepe with whipped cream and extra chopped fruits to make them even more of a dessert. Finally, try our super simple monkey bread. It comes together quickly and families would have fun making this together. Our recipe calls for apples, but you could also try it with pears. Happy holidays from everyone here at ProduceMadeSimple.


Today we are about to open a $10,000 NBA mystery box. No way, no way! And as always, I'll be giving away everything we open today. Anyways, good you guys. As always, it's the best time of the year. You guys are probably starting to get familiar with this parking lot. I'm at the Pristine Auction Warehouse right now. We're about to hop in and switch it up a little bit. I've done so many NFL mystery boxes, but today is an NBA mystery box. I gave them a list of all my favorite players. We'll see what insane stuff they got. And if you're not familiar, Pristine Auction has a website where they sell some of the coolest memorabilia in the world. Obviously, I love all the sports stuff. I promise you they have something amazing for your favorite team. So make sure to click the link in the top of the description to check it out. And you can use Coat MMG for $10 off your first purchase. We got Mills. Mills on cameraman duties today. Oh, hey, baby. Come on, baby. Let's go. Oh, look at the Montana. See that down in there? This is behind the scenes of the Pristine Auction Warehouse. You can see like a Kobe, a signed Kobe. It goes on forever, man. Look at how many helmets. Yeah, every single time we get an awesome mystery box, we always come to this room right here that they got set up. It's crazy the amount of stuff that's in here, man. This is like the smallest room too, and there's so much crazy stuff. This is new. This wasn't up here last time. So they absolutely choked in the playoffs. They sent me this one.  It might literally be my favorite poster. We've gotten so many cool ones, but. All right, boys, the moment of truth. I think literally this is the most boxes we have ever had. We've got one, two, three, four boxes, and you're thinking that's a lot. And then there's one, two, three, and a gigantic frame in the back. Come look at this. I'll make sure it's covered. I've worked with Pristine Auction for probably three years. I have never seen a frame that big. I don't know what we got in here today, but I'm excited. I don't know what to expect. Mills, what's your favorite immediate frame? Probably Yolkage. Yolkage? Seriously? Wow, he's hopping on the bandwagon. But you didn't have to say it. Is that a ball? What is this? That's crazy. Oh, who's the side by Chicago Bulls? DeMar DeRozan signed Bulls logo basketball. Look at this ball. Dude, I forgot how hard the NBA went, man. I'm still just doing these NFL mystery boxes. The NBA goes hard. All right, Chicago Bulls fans, you guys are in luck first, or you're just a DeMar DeRozan fans. We're definitely giving this one away. Ooh, we got more balls for sure. We got here Classic Wilson. Oh, it's a James Harden. That's so fired. James Harden gets too much disrespect. James Harden is so good. Look at that. James Harden signed basketball as well. James Harden fans, honestly, you could be a fan of so many teams. Who's he all played for? Okay, C, Rockets, Nets, Sixers. James Harden. Oh, this is the basketball box for sure. We got the next one. Mills, I'm gonna let you see it before I see it. Boys, you're seeing it before I see it. Mills is looking at me like he's a casual. He's got no idea who that is. Ooh, Jaylen Brunson.  He's a dog. Dude, Jaylen Brunson almost pulled it off for the Nakes, man. This is gonna be a really popular one. I know the boys are gonna be like, look at this one, he's got a six signature too. Ooh, no way. They slip an NBA trading card in there. It's gotta be, man, right? I'm gonna let the boys see this one first. Ooh, that's a thick boy. That's a thick boy. Oh my God. I'm not letting you see it first. I'm seeing it first. Oh my God. Wait, look at this. 2020, 2021, Panini Spectra in the zone, autographs meta, 13 of 15 graded. Dude, it's a nine and a half, but it's a Beckett 10. Oh my God. Oh my God, Kawhi Leonard the Claw. Definitely giving this way too. Sometimes with the pristine auction boxes, I'm like, damn, what do I wanna keep? What do I wanna give away? If it's Dirk Nowitzki, I'm keeping it. Oh, wait, is this a pair of shoes? This is a, oh, it's Trey Young. Always remember when they doubted you, it's got Trey Young's signature right there. No way, no way. Hero ice on it, like Ice Trey. Honestly, I didn't even know he had a signature shoe. These go hard. US 12 and a half, 12 and a half. Your size, 12, 12 and a half or 13.  These are crazy.  What are we rocking here? This is the finale of box one. I've got bubble wrap and, oh, is that D-Rose? Oh my God. Oh my God, I think that's D-Rose. Ooh, it's all his teams. Oh my God, this is so sick. No way. Oh, that's so sick. Prime MVP D-Rose, then to the Knicks, then to the Cavs, then to the T-Wills.  The amount of times I go in a guy's room and there is legitimately nothing in there, like nothing. And trust me, I go in a lot of guys' rows.  You gotta fill that wall in your house. Pristine auction's the way to do it. No way. Dude, what? Luca Donch, it's Dallas Maverick's signed floorboard. This is an old piece of a Maverick's court. Dude, the NBA could do way cooler stuff than the NFL. Are you kidding me? How's he giving a signed piece of the turf? That was box one. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight left. All right, Mills, let's see it. I wanna see this one by me. Oh, okay. I can't, I can't tell. It's like a giant poster, though. Oh, it's somebody. Oh boy, it's definitely a poster, Mills. You might've pulled some heat out of here. What are those team colors? I see some, try and look in there, Mills. I see some blue and some yellow. Do you see it? Look at it from right up here. Do you see that? Oh, there it is. That's blue and yellow. Maybe Warriors? Blue and yellow would be going to say Warriors, right? Oh my God, I think it is Warriors. No way. No way. No way they have this in you. Oh my God. Oh my God. No way. He's so young. Dude, this is crazy.  Are you kidding me? I will keep this in flawless condition. This is gonna have to go to a well-deserving young gentleman. Man, that's an OG pick. That is an OG pick. I mean, this is one of the most difficult players to get. Oh my God. All right, we'll go with this guy next. Definitely another poster. I don't have any guesses, man. We already got Curry. Now I'm all spooned. It could literally be anybody. Oh, it's covered. They got the cardboard in front of it. So I can't see it. Look at that. Who we got that's covered like this? A few moments later. All right, boys. The moment of truth. We finally got him down. I see blue. I see a little bit of gold. I have another warrior, do we? There's maybe a college? I don't know. Oh, there's no way. There's no way. What? We got the Splash Brothers. Like, we actually just got both back to back. What? That's crazy. That is so sick. Clay Thompson and Steph Curry. There's going to be some very happy Warriors fans after today. All right, we'll dive right into this box right here. Oh. Helmet? Did you just say helmet? Give me that camera. You said helmet.  They're open. Do you want me to open this? My faster than the other one you were trying to open. All right. Shots fired. I don't get paid to open boxes, man. Come on. Just try to be back. Try to be back. That was quick. Oh, my God. It's a Lajuan. Dude, wait, what jersey is this? Is this an All-Star jersey? Kimalajuan. It is. Oh, my God. These are like the super iconic All-Star jerseys. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is not just a jersey to get a signature on. That's the real deal. Look at this. This is a legit jersey. Beautiful signature. Oh, that's amazing. Let's go. The jersey box starts out with absolute heat. Wait a minute. Larry Bird? My God, are you kidding me? Look at this jersey.  Look at this thing, man. Yeah, this jersey without the signature. Here are some hot rocks. And then it's got Larry Bird's signature on it. I'm scared to go open the next one. I'm really scared. Oh, little Andrew Wiggins. Dude, there are gonna be some seriously excited Warriors fans. And look at this. This is the real deal jersey too. Oh, it's got the 2022 NBA champs on the back right there. Look at that. This is the real Nike jersey. Oh my God, if you aren't a Warriors fan, you are literally the happiest man alive. We've got the baddies slayer. There are no courtside baddies in the pristine auction warehouse today. So Jordan Poole is not going off, but look at this, man. Jordan Poole got paid and then stopped playing good basketball. Just so we're clear. Oh, it's one of the sickest unis ever. The Miami Vice Unis. Who is this? Oh, Tyler Hero. Miami Vice Tyler Hero. Dude, are you kidding me? These are literally some of the sickest unis that have ever been dropped. Look at this. I honestly think the back of these unis looks the best. Boy Wonder. Is that May 6th, 2020? That's so crazy. Oh my God. It had to be this bump. Why did Jocelyn Dale outplay Deandre Aiden? Deandre Aiden was round one pick one. Just kidding.  Ooh, they wear these unis anymore? That's fire. We're in Phoenix, baby.  Deandre Aiden. It's kind of got a fire signature too, DA. That's dope. I want the Jocelyn Dale jersey, baby. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ooh. Whoa, what am I looking at? Is that somebody's shoe? It's a torpedo. Oh my God. Who is this? Don't tell me that's Yanis. Is this the Yanis shoe? It's the Yanis shoe, but it's not going to be signed by Yanis, right? There's no way. Oh my God. Oh my God. What is going on? Man, I haven't even started on these boxes yet. What is going on? This is insane. Dude, this shoe is in pristine condition to a side of Yanis shoe. Dude, this goes hard too. Greek freak. Yanis Antenna Kumbos signature, right up on top of that. A legit All-Star Alajuan. A legit All-Star Larry Bird. Yanis signature. Steph signature. Clay signature. Luca. D-Roe. This is crazy. Let's do the posters, baby. Dude, the posters are the best. These are my favorite to open. I just know what kind of impact this has in someone's house. Like when we ship somebody a poster, I don't know who's gonna be in these either. I'm gonna give a, I'm gonna see the color first. See A color first. Wait, no way. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. What? You guys do not understand, man. Oh my God. I used to wear a Dirk Jersey to school. I practiced his turnaround fade like my whole life. Dirk Nemitz, he's the reason I started watching basketball. No way. This is so sick. And this is the exact Jersey award too. Like it was this Mavericks colorway, like the royal blue and the navy with the gray on the, oh my God. Oh, that's so sick. No way. Oh my God.  Greatest, powerful, of all time. All right, boys. Holy, I don't know how, but our one first ever NBA mystery box may literally be one of the craziest ones we've ever done. Who's up next, baby? Shaker. Ooh, this one's horizontal. What do you think? Is it gonna look something like that? I don't think it'll be direct, but I think it's gonna look something like that. I'm gonna let you and all the boys see it first. All right, you guys are gonna see this one before me. The next poster. And I'm looking at Mill's face. Mill's is a casual. Casual? Hey, Mill's is a casual, and you're doing that reaction.  No way.  There's no way. There's no way. You're wrong. That's crazy. That's so sick. Hey, Durant Phoenix Suns. I'm literally, as soon as we walked in here, I commented on that. You could be a big Durant fan, so you could be an OKC fan, a Warriors fan, a Nets fan, or you could be a Phoenix Suns fan.  All right, I'm not gonna lie. Andrew gave me a hint on this one. He said there's a theme in that whatever I'm about to open up right here is similar to Dirk. So I'm thinking about it. Dirk was German. I don't know any German players in the league right now, but there are a lot of very good Euro league players. Luka Donchich, who's on the Mavericks. Jokic. There's a lot of potential there. But when I think about it, if this is Jokic, I literally think we might be peeking. All right, Mill's, you said Jokic is your favorite player. So this is Jokic. You don't know if it's Jokic, right? Oh my God. No way.  Oh my God. Dude, what? Oh my God. There's no way. There's no way. Dude, this goes crazy. Oh my God. By the way, Robbed of the three-peat MVP. What's 100% deserved? They just, they couldn't give it to Jokic over LeBron and Jordan. And the NBA is so mad that this man is the best player in the league. Oh my God. I don't even know what to say. This is crazy. Curry, Clay, Jokic. Dirk, Yuck, like, this is so crazy. Oh, all right. I know there's going to be a massive, massive Denver Nuggets fan out there. So I'm going to have to surf through. I want to find someone who's really deserving of this one, but we're absolutely going to give away the Jokic right here. So I'm excited to see which one of the boys this can go to. Wow, Pristine Auction hooked it all, man. This is crazy. Ooh, all right, boys. This is what we call the Bundletopper. This is the final box of one of the craziest mystery box openings I've ever done. It feels like we say that every time, but Pristine Auction literally just keeps leveling up and it's so crazy. So this is awesome. I said it a few times before, but there's a link in the top description.  And everything you've seen in this mystery box opening is something that you can purchase on Pristine Auction. We have the Giganta frame. It's like three frames in one. So I don't know what, I've never gotten anything like this before. I don't know what this could be. So whatever is in here is usually shipped in an actual wooden crate. I'm thinking like Madagascar. I legitimately would try to name a player that I wish I'd have gotten, but I literally got all of them. It's a mega poster, all right. Oh! Oh, it's a mega poster, all right. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Dude. Oh. My God. Dude, wait a minute. It's got, wait, that's a 10. That's a 10 in the frame and they got a NOLA one. That's a broken. Dude, what? It's got an LED backlit display. That's what all this like, you know, battery stuff is back here. You actually plug it in and it lights up. Dude. Dude, that is unbelievable. It actually is. No way. He like, individually getting these would have made me go crazy. Especially this one. Individually getting this rookie. Oh, five. Is that what that said? That's how long he's been in the league. All right, boys. Absolutely insane finisher to this NBA mystery box opening. We pulled so much unbelievable stuff. I don't even know where to start. Played Thompson, Steph Curry, the James Harden ball, the Jaylin Brunson ball, the Tamar DeRosen ball, Trey Luca DeRose, Yana Shoe, Yokehstein poster, all the incredible and authentic jerseys. The real deal. You got the Durant. You got the Novitsky. The Novitsky stand with me. Novitsky in a large one are staying with me. Everything else is going to the boys. And that's all thanks to pristine auction. I've said it so many times with seriously pristine auction. Thank you so much for sponsoring this video, guys. Make sure you check it out. This is so unbelievable. And all of it is for sale on pristine auction and more if you didn't see your favorite team. But listen, I love you boys. Thank you for watching as always.

It is that time again where I'm going to be answering your questions. What is up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health.  And today I'm going to be answering Patreon questions. So for those of you who don't know, I have a Patreon and anybody who is signed up on the Patreon, you can do it for as little as a dollar a month, you get your name and the credits, and you get to ask me questions. I get so, so, so many questions and video topics from all of you in the comments. And a lot of them I've done some of them I pick, but I do want to make videos for the people who are, you know, supporting the channel and they get something in return. So if you want more of a guaranteed way to have your specific questions answered, make sure you go sign up for over on Patreon. And then at the $5 tier, I have exclusive videos up for anybody, $5 and up. Also, also real quick, follow me on Instagram. You know why? Because look at these two beautiful cats. All right. So yesterday, Tristan and I were like, okay, let's put these costumes on cats. So this is Wyatt rocking a beautiful dinosaur costume.  So follow me over on Instagram because I'm going to do something hilarious with Wyatt in a video today. So follow me on Instagram at the Rewired Soul. And I have the beautiful, amazing, camera shy Tristan right next to me to ask me the Patreon questions. So let's get started. OK, the first one is from Sherry. Hey, Sherry says, I'd love to see a video on chronic pain and people who use pain meds to control them. Aha. So Sherry, Sherry is an OG like Rewired Soldier. Like she's been around since like way back. I think like before I even had 500 subscribers. So also Sherry, I heard you're coming out to Vegas. Let's do lunch or something. You, me, Tristan, whoever else. Let's do it. Anyways, so yeah, so chronic pain patients who have to take pain meds. So those of you who don't know me, I'm a recovering drug addict. My drug of choice was prescription pain meds. I am somebody who didn't have chronic pain. Something that I always empathize with, like working in the addiction treatment field is like people who suffer from chronic pain and they got hooked on the pain meds. Like that's really, really rough. But here's the thing. So just a real quick story of mine is in my active addiction, I would do anything, anything to get high, right? So like I would take pills. Like I would, I would like snort an oxy just for a headache. All sorts of things. So I would go to any lengths to get high. So in my recovery, I go to any lengths to stay clean. So in my sobriety, I'm very fortunate. I haven't like broken any bones, any bones. But I've been in a head on collision car accident. I've been to the emergency room multiple times because I get tendonitis in my shoulders. I get excruciating pain. I even had Tristan come with me to the hospital. Like, so something I do is have people go with me to the hospital. So I don't take those pain meds. Like my last relapse started off with one Vicodin pill. Okay. Now, the question that Sherry asked though is here's the thing. Like here, especially in the United States, we're very quick to give people medications when there's so many other options. So, so, so many other options. Like if you are somebody, especially if you're struggling with addiction or if you're afraid you might get addicted, go through every other route first. Like for example, there's a great book called Full Catastrophe Living by John Kabat-Zinn. They called him like the father of Western mindfulness. He bought mindfulness over here. And one of his first tests with mindfulness was bringing it into a pain management clinic. So they with the way that the mind and the body interact, a lot of people were overcoming their pain just based on mindfulness practices. So what I would recommend is look through holistic routes like the problem is, is that usually even when I say this to people like anybody, not anybody, but a lot of people in like Western culture, the second I even mentioned that meditation might help with pain, they think I'm an idiot. But if you said that like almost anywhere else in the world, they'd be like, yeah, that sounds about right. You know, so just research holistic options. I would also say see if your insurance covers like a pain management specialist who specializes in like either addiction as well as like holistic treatments. The next one is from Richard said, something that's been on my mind a lot lately are the effects of workplace stress. I work as a case manager in a drug treatment court and the stress from the volume of clients and the lack of support from the state wears on both in wears on my both in and out of office. Yes. So Richard, Richard's also somebody who's been around forever. And yeah, so like first off, it's awesome that you're working in the field. And here's the thing, like when I first started working in addiction treatment, I needed so much support, like coming from a 12 step program and everything. Like I was calling my sponsor every day. I was calling, you know, other people in my recovery support group. My friend, Jeremiah, who passed away recently. He's somebody that I used to call because the stress is there. Like there's a lot of stress in different fields, whether it's social work or being a nurse or, you know, me. I was just, you know, a facilitator and I would help people after they left treatment. There's a lot of stress that comes along with that, right? But then like something that Richard's talking about is then you have like the workplace stress. Like you might work at like, you know, this is not to knock any other position, but I'm just saying, like you might be working at like a department store or, you know, fast food joint, like every job has their stresses. But when you compound the fact that, you know, you're dealing with like life and death situations, you're dealing with people trying to get their lives back on track. It can weigh heavily on you. So something that I personally do, and this is for anybody, anybody who has a problem bringing work home with them is mindfulness, right? Like, so something I have to think about is Tristan or my son. Like it is not fair to Tristan or my son or any of you for me to bring work here with me, right? And for me to be moody or angry or depressed or sad. Like, like it's OK for me to experience these emotions, but I can't take that out on you, if that makes sense. So one thing that really helps me out in my field, and this is for Richard or anybody else who might work in a similar field, I try to focus on the successes, OK?   But then I had to go do a group and I would just I would just channel my energy like it's not about me anymore. I need to help people. So my main suggestion is focus on the positive, not the negative. Next suggestion is here's the thing. I worked at a place similar, Richard, and always remember that you're in control. I used to complain to Tristan all the time about a place I used to work and like I would just reminder like I would remind her to remind myself and be like, I'm in control. I can leave this place if I'm not happy with how it's being run. I can leave this place when I want to. Yeah, I might take a pay cut, but I am in control. OK, nobody is holding me hostage at that job. And that's for all of you out there.  If anybody finds them, like say it in the comments, but they're all like support lines and things like that for people who work in this industry and you're getting like really stressed out. So I actually did some research. Tristan and I did some research before this video and we didn't come up with anything. So like, but I know they exist. My mom's given them to people. You know, we've come across them before. So if anybody has those, link them down in the comments and then I'll update the description. OK, so this one's from Domina. It's similar to Richards, but in a different setting. OK, so could you give me some strategies to support people who are caring for someone with a mental health issue? For example, what to do if you're worried to leave your partner by themselves, how to deal with self injury with someone you love, how to take care of your mental health when you are taking care of your partner. That's an in depth question. I can make a whole video on that. I have some videos on this. It's tough. It's tough. I made a video a while back about Shane Dawson being a fixer. So one of the things that we have to look at first is codependency, right? We have to see, like, you know, are we reliant on trying to fix these people? And, you know, is it something that's unhealthy? But I definitely understand. So a great example is like my mom, right?  And it came to a point where, like, she couldn't help me unless I was willing to help myself. And she was about to let me be homeless on the street. Like, she was at a point where she knew it was possible that I was going to die, you know, but she gave me an ultimatum to get help. But my mom knew that she couldn't fix me, right? So that's my suggestion to you is to realize that you do not have the power to fix anybody. I don't have the power to fix anybody. No matter how big this YouTube channel gets, I never ever had the power to fix anybody. And that is kind of similar to, like, Richard's question. Like, that's something that helps keep me keeps my sanity in the mental health field. Like it's a balance between doing the best I can every single day while also realizing that I can't fix anybody. All right. So I do have a book and shameless plug, but it's like $3. It's called Caught in the Crossfire, and it's it answers a lot of your questions about how to maintain your mental health when somebody else is struggling with addiction. Or you can also use it for mental health. I put intervention strategies in there. I put motivational interviewing, which is something that all of you need to learn. Like, after this video, go Google motivational interviewing questions. Like, it will help you a lot. I need to do an entire video on this. But when it comes to like, she mentioned self-harm, right? Yeah. So self-harming, that's something I don't have enough videos on. Like self-harm does not always mean a person is suicidal, but it is very dangerous and it is possible to hurt yourself really bad. And in cases like that, you have to set boundaries with the person and be like, listen, like, this isn't OK. We're going to call like here in the States, we have 5150, right? So like you call people, get put on a 72 hour hold and all of that. So like my mom and I did a video a while back about like helping suicidal clients and like, I highly recommend a lot of you watch that. Like at the end of the day, like whether this person gets mad or angry or whatever, like we have to call people who are more skilled and qualified than we are. OK? OK, I want to lighten it up. Let's lighten it up. Well, lighten it up for me. I guess that's for everyone. Erin's question is you mentioned a fascination with cults and serial killers. Which one of which one of each do you find the most interesting? That is interesting. That is interesting. And that's one of the reasons my Tristan and I made a beautiful couple. They're both interested in that stuff, like cults and serial killers. It's something that I've been fascinated with just since I was a kid. It's the same reason why I'm fascinated with mental health. Like I'm always just trying to understand why people think the way they think, right? Like why do people do? Why do we do? Like that's why I love like behavioral therapy and like behavioral sciences. Like what drives us to do these things, right? So when you see somebody like a serial killer, I remember one of my favorite movies. I don't know if any of you saw this. If any of you saw this, let me know down in the comments below. Let me know if you saw Tristan. There was a movie with Sigourney Weaver back in the 90s called Copy Cat. Did you see it? And she was like an author or something, right? And then I think it was Louis Gossop. No, not Louis Gossop, Jr. Oh, it was the other guy, the country singer's son. And he's like in movies and stuff. Henry Connick Jr. He was like a serial killer and he was copying like people like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahle were like, I remember watching that when I was a kid and it was just like fascinating to me and it's really creepy. Like I would always ask myself, I'm like, man, is this like creepy of me to be fascinated? Do you ever wonder that? No, I'm creepy. OK, am I like in a weird way, like fascinated with serial killers? Like is it weird? But no, it's just because I really get intrigued by the way people think. I'm like, why is that, you know? But then you get the cult aspect. I talked a lot about this in my video the other day about the film theorists and confirmation bias. Like when I see how we blindly follow people and how we have this, like, like it makes sense. Like cults work. Like it makes sense even on YouTube. I will never forget whenever cults come to mind, I think of Logan Paul. Like this is terrible, but Logangers, you're a cult. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Calm down. But I'll never forget when Logan Paul did his stuff in the suicide forest, right? And then he came out with his apology video. He told the Logang, don't defend me.  Do not defend me. And the Logang was on the Internet in his comments and on Twitter.  Logang for life. We're going to defend you anyways. Like that is insanity. Like think about that. Like I never want to get to a place where I had that much power control, like that is madness. But yeah, cults are very interesting because they take a lot of advantage of people who are in vulnerable situations, people looking for a way out, you know, and all sorts of stuff. Now here's the thing. I've mentioned this in another video. But one of my favorite TV shows that blended these two things together, serial killers and cults was the following. The following was by jam because it was a cult of serial killers. What? All right, this is from Dollface. She asks, could you touch on how best is actually seek help slash treatment that she's been waiting for an appointment for months for a psychiatric nurse and practitioner? So she wants to know. Yeah. So that's a great question. And yeah, I could do an entire video on this, but I'll touch on a few points here. So the first one is the first one is find support groups. OK, like one of the best things that any of you can do with your mental health issues is find somebody who's been through it before. Like that is just the number one thing that you have to do. Find somebody who's been through trauma. Find somebody who's overcome addiction.  Find somebody who's in recovery from self-harm. Find people who have overcome the thing that you're struggling with and talk to them. All right. Like one of the reasons people connect with me is because I've been through a lot of stuff. Like that's one of the reasons some of you like connect with Tristan. Tristan has been through stuff. Like that is some of the best therapy you will ever get. But then there's also like medication. So you do need to seek psychiatric help. Now, as far as waiting list, I don't know where Dolphins is from in the United States. OK, I'm going to link this website down in the description below and this is for a plethora of stuff. OK, it's called SAMHSA. Forgot what it's like substance abuse, mental health, something association. But anyways, that is the United States website is government funded. And it is basically addiction and mental health treatment locator. But this is why you all need to know about this website, because even if you don't have insurance, OK, it will help you find treatment. It will help you find addiction, treatment, mental health treatment. They even have state funded like detox centers. Like so this website is amazing.  So you've got to check that out. But as far as like waiting list is that like that's just one of the things about, I don't know, health care in general, so like take the baby steps, but also realize, realize to like if you're having having like severe anxiety or depression, see a doctor, try not to get like Xanax or volume or like hard narcotics, but also remember like like my antidepressants. I'm on Prozac. It's prescribed by my regular doctor.  You'll be put on a hold for a 72 hour hold and you might be put on another hold after that, depending on how bad it is. But if it's that bad, you should go and see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And Tristan knows because she used to work at a psych hospital. Let's just think about that. But yeah, absolutely. If it's anything severe, if it's anything severe, do not wait. And I can do a whole nother video on this too, where people like, well, I don't want to be a bother, like go be a bother, like go, knock on their door. But yeah, they have to help you. That's another tip. I made a video a long time ago about three ways to get treatment without insurance. One of them is that SAMHSA website.  They have to take you. Like, they're not going to turn you away. Like, go in there and say, I need to get stable. Boom, get started. All right. But anyways, thank you for all those amazing, amazing questions. Let's all give a round of applause for Tristan for asking the questions. But anyways, again, if you want me to ask your question, answer your questions, not ask your questions. I'm going to answer your questions. Go ahead, sign up on Patreon. There'll be down in the description and in the pinned comment. And what it does is it helps me do something I love.
