Music & Art: The Mental Health Boosters

WEBVTT

00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:04.950
I don't know about you, but I believe and think

00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:08.269
that the internet should be a safer place. Well,

00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:10.849
what if I told you that there's a tool that can

00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:14.050
do just that? A safer internet where you don't

00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:17.510
have to monitor every single thing that your

00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:21.809
kids do or that you stumble across, whether it's

00:00:21.809 --> 00:00:26.109
a fake site or not a fake site. This tool is

00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:30.239
called BlockP. It blocks adult websites, but

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.820
also it blocks those fake websites that you might

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.399
say, hey, this domain is for sale, and hackers

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.899
try to hack all that information or try to scam

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.460
people out of the information. It also protects,

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.259
and it uses AI to protect against other malicious

00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:51.920
stuff and other garbage that people may stumble

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.719
across the web. Anyway, I thought to myself the

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.619
other day, Why is the internet not a safer place?

00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:08.200
Well, it's because there's money involved. And

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.739
some kind of certain content drives more money.

00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:17.659
Everything has to do with money. And what I like

00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:22.129
about this tool is that it uses... AI built into

00:01:22.129 --> 00:01:25.969
the tool so there's no false positives. And it's

00:01:25.969 --> 00:01:32.030
the only tool that lets you password set a Chrome

00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:38.950
extension or even an Android app settings, et

00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.609
cetera, so you can bypass it easily. Give it

00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:46.230
a try. Go to BlockP and download on Google Play

00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:54.189
or iOS or on your web browser, on whatever web

00:01:54.189 --> 00:01:59.569
browser you use, and let them know what you think

00:01:59.569 --> 00:02:01.609
of the tool. They always listen to your feedback,

00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:06.750
etc. Great company, and they have great things

00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:13.270
ahead of them, etc. Take a test one, check it

00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:16.819
out. It's free. And let me know what you think.

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:20.879
And it's called Black P. Go check him out. Welcome

of crazyfitnessguide .com. Welcome to another

00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:00.210
episode of Crazy Fitness Guide Health and Living

00:03:00.210 --> 00:03:02.289
Podcast, slash week on motivation with Crazy

00:03:02.289 --> 00:03:05.550
Fitness Guide. So today, before I get my guest

00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:08.270
out here today. I'm just going to call attention

00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:11.069
to it. You might not see my microphone that I

00:03:11.069 --> 00:03:14.069
usually have. And that's because it's laying

00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:17.370
down on its side that no longer attaches to my

00:03:17.370 --> 00:03:20.530
desk. Well, I wish I could get my money back

00:03:20.530 --> 00:03:24.590
because the stand was a piece of crap. And I

00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:29.689
don't see that lightly. So I have a new stand

00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:33.469
coming, but it's not coming until Monday. Boo.

00:03:35.669 --> 00:03:39.310
But at least I have one coming. I hope it fits

00:03:39.310 --> 00:03:44.090
near my trash can. I mean, it has a flat base

00:03:44.090 --> 00:03:47.849
on it, so it should. I don't know, my room is

00:03:47.849 --> 00:03:51.430
that small. Not that I'm complaining, just it

00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:56.849
is what it is. So I'm just using my computer

00:03:56.849 --> 00:04:00.909
microphone, so if it sounds like garbage... Well,

00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.949
you know what? I don't have to explain anything

00:04:03.949 --> 00:04:09.770
else. But it's a new computer, so it should be

00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:13.669
a little bit better than my old computer. But

00:04:13.669 --> 00:04:17.269
not by much. But anyway, today's guest, he's

00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:19.930
a friend of mine from karate, from Tiger Jones

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:23.269
Karate. I'm looking forward to having him on.

00:04:23.629 --> 00:04:25.750
His name is Garrett. We're going to be talking

00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:31.120
about how music and art is... beneficial for

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.060
your mental health. I've actually been listening

00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:38.100
to a lot of music lately. I mean, usually I listen

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:41.620
to some podcasts, but more and more lately I've

00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:44.480
been listening to a lot of music just because

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.540
I've been going through a lot of annoying ups

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:53.180
and downs. Pretty much like a domino effect the

00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:58.079
last seven weeks. And it's really, really quite

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:04.069
annoying and quite Scary at times, too. Yeah,

00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:08.430
I mean, I'm not going to go all in and out of

00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:11.670
it because it's a pretty messed up domino effect,

00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:16.350
one after the other. Boy, let's welcome Garrett

00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:21.649
out. Hey, Garrett. Hey, guys. How are you? So

00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:23.470
before we get started, can you tell us a little

00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:27.990
bit about who you are and what you do? So I am...

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:32.439
Oh, who am I? That's a good question, Jimmy.

00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:36.439
That's a really good question. But we'll save

00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.300
the deep stuff for later. My name's Garrett,

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:47.019
like Jimmy said. I do karate with him. We're

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:51.319
friends, you know, and I'm just really happy

00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:59.550
to be here today. So, I'm trying to off my top

00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:02.610
of my head. Thanks. I'm running on fumes. Cool.

00:06:03.709 --> 00:06:05.470
You know when it's Friday when you're running

00:06:05.470 --> 00:06:12.610
on fumes. Oh, yeah. I have the last nice karate

00:06:12.610 --> 00:06:16.870
class I got, man. Knee kicks in that chest does

00:06:16.870 --> 00:06:22.189
not feel good. No, no. No, no, no. No, it doesn't.

00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:25.610
What we did in our karate class last night was,

00:06:25.730 --> 00:06:29.790
well, I did a personal training session, but

00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.810
I was watching it and we did the same thing we

00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:35.310
did on Tuesday in the intermediate boxing class.

00:06:35.930 --> 00:06:39.290
I kid you not, by the time the push -ups and

00:06:39.290 --> 00:06:43.509
the squats and the reverse sit -ups came around,

00:06:43.790 --> 00:06:49.389
I was dead to the world. Like, no lie. Like,

00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:51.970
I was trying to do those push -ups and those

00:06:51.970 --> 00:06:56.689
prison squats and those reverse crunches, and

00:06:56.689 --> 00:06:59.050
I just couldn't get it straight. I couldn't.

00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:03.449
It happened every time on the buzzer. By the

00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:05.310
time I got into it, the buzzer rang, and we had

00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:08.870
to switch already. I was not keeping up. Oops.

00:07:09.490 --> 00:07:13.199
Been there till now, and holy crap. I mean, you

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.079
just saw me in Tuesday night's class. I couldn't

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:21.600
get the techniques down, and I was like, you

00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.759
know Meb from karate? Yeah. I was telling him,

00:07:26.779 --> 00:07:29.399
I was like, I keep messing this crap up, and

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.959
I can't do it. He was like, wasn't that the fun

00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.600
part? I was like, to an extent, but it gets annoying

00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.480
after a while. I was like, I have to remember

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:42.209
20 other plus things. I was like, Keith. And

00:07:42.209 --> 00:07:44.629
somebody thought the intermediate classes even

00:07:44.629 --> 00:07:51.470
are, and it's like, try the advanced. Ouch. Wow.

00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:54.589
I mean, they call it intermediate and beginner

00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:56.970
for a reason, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

00:07:57.329 --> 00:08:00.230
By the time you get to the advanced class, you're

00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:04.889
learning so much more advanced stuff that you're

00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:10.189
like, okay, so, oh, that's how that's supposed

00:08:10.189 --> 00:08:12.949
to look. Then why'd they teach it to me this

00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:20.250
way? Yeah, it's like, we're just warming you

00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.149
up and then you can make yourself look like a

00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:28.550
tall moron. I mean, no one's looking at you unless

00:08:28.550 --> 00:08:31.930
you're the one demonstrating. But other than

00:08:31.930 --> 00:08:36.929
that, I'm so glad no one else is watching. I

00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:40.070
hear that. I have days like that. I have days

00:08:40.070 --> 00:08:43.720
like that. And, you know, just, you know, in

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.480
my personal life, I have days like that. I literally

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.559
am glad that my life is not a TV show and people

00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.539
are not watching me. You know what I'm saying?

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:58.539
Like, sometimes the domino effect just has to,

00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.220
it all has to come down before it can go back

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:05.039
up, Jimmy. Yeah, I think that's where I've kind

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:10.740
of hit rock bottom. I mean, I can say, Totally

00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:16.480
rock bottom, but close to it. So I think that's

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.700
a perfect segue right into everything. So how

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:26.720
do I want to start with this? Come on, brain,

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.259
think. Damn it, brain. Yep, that's my brain on

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:35.200
Tuesday night. And last night. And every night

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.899
of this week. So how does music help with your

00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:45.700
mental health? Well, I'm going to be real with

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:49.539
you, Jimmy. When I'm feeling sad and, you know,

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:56.620
I need to feel... First of all, before anybody

00:09:56.620 --> 00:10:03.500
tells you that, you know, sometimes you need

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:05.399
to feel those feelings, you know what I'm saying?

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.820
And when you're having a bad day and stuff like

00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:12.100
that. And music can help you explore those feelings.

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.639
So would I, to answer your question, would I

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.639
listen to it? It varies on day to day. You see

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.159
music, background music when you're cleaning

00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.159
or having a bad day or whatever. It literally

00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:34.370
is you. People will come into your house or you'll

00:10:34.370 --> 00:10:36.169
get in the car and you'll say, this is what we're

00:10:36.169 --> 00:10:40.470
listening to today. I'm in a crappy mood and

00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:48.629
I just want to listen to this. It helps me with

00:10:48.629 --> 00:10:53.629
my feelings. So for instance, let's say you and

00:10:53.629 --> 00:10:56.450
a friend are in a dispute, right? And it's really

00:10:56.450 --> 00:11:00.980
weighing you down. For me, the go -to song when

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.220
I'm in a dispute with my friend is How to Save

00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:08.840
the Life by The Fray. I just listen to it. I

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:17.200
get in the groove. It literally helps me. Even

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:21.279
though it's a sad song and you're exploring those

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.500
sad feelings, nine times out of ten, you're going

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:27.340
to come out. Because you had time to think about

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:29.720
your situation. You had the time to think why

00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.399
you were mad at your friend and you had time

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:37.120
to rectify it in your head and be like, okay,

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.419
well, you know what? It's not that bad. You know,

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.399
we're just, we just have difference of opinions.

00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.740
That's all. And, or, you know, we're at different

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:50.539
stages of our life, you know? And then for instance,

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:53.539
there is literally music for every occasion.

00:11:54.430 --> 00:11:58.129
Happy, sad, indifferent. You know what I'm saying?

00:11:58.509 --> 00:12:02.830
And all that. I love being a person with mental

00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:07.610
illness. Sometimes it is a challenge, a very

00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:16.330
big challenge. But when music is involved and

00:12:16.330 --> 00:12:23.350
any type of art is involved, it... What's the

00:12:23.350 --> 00:12:30.330
right word? It helped regulate your emotions.

00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:36.549
You know what I'm saying? And when you're going

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:42.490
through the roughest time in your life, or someone

00:12:42.490 --> 00:12:45.789
passed away, or you, for instance, hit rock bottom,

00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:50.570
you know what I'm saying? It literally has the

00:12:50.570 --> 00:12:53.940
power to put you down. Or lift you up. Whichever

00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:56.019
way you want to go. You know what I'm saying?

00:12:56.100 --> 00:13:01.440
Some people get addicted to the feeling of defeat.

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.740
The feeling of sadness. The feeling of... And

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:09.720
that's when all your, like, sad music comes into

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.860
play. Because you're in a rut for a while. And

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:18.159
then you start listening to music. And are like,

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.159
well, hey. This song's actually not what I'm

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.200
used to listening to. I'm used to listening to

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.139
sad stuff. So then you realize you're slowly

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:32.279
bringing yourself out of it. It's like a therapeutic...

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:39.799
Okay, so it's very therapeutic. And to be honest

00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.860
with you, what I listen to varies is basically

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:45.559
what I'm trying to say. It varies on the day,

00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:50.600
it varies on my mood, and it varies on... my

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:55.620
headspace at that time stay with us we'll be

00:14:58.889 --> 00:15:08.720
regret it. I think for me, I can... I'm quite

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:15.220
the opposite. I do not... I don't... I don't

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:21.259
like such music. I more listen to... I listen

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:25.980
to some country. I listen to ACDC. Something

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:28.940
to... I don't say take my mind off of it, but

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:32.450
to... That's kind of... Some of those songs put

00:15:32.450 --> 00:15:36.450
me in the mood of reflection. And you might say,

00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:39.809
how does ACDC put you in reflection? Anything

00:15:39.809 --> 00:15:45.250
to take my mind off of whatever is happening.

00:15:45.769 --> 00:15:50.990
If I'm just overthinking a certain situation

00:15:50.990 --> 00:15:56.509
or whatnot, putting something on in the background

00:15:56.509 --> 00:15:59.889
gets me in the reflective state versus just...

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.740
analyzing every little nick and cranny. Like,

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:08.799
for instance, let's just say I'm going to make

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.600
this broad as possible just so that anybody that

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.539
goes live and published and whatnot won't know

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:21.600
that I'm specifically talking about somebody.

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:31.259
But let us say a few people around me I'm kind

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:35.000
of not knowing what I'm going to do with my major

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:40.279
after college, and yet here's what I'm doing

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.879
with my major and it's part of my majoring career

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.220
and everything else, but they don't see that.

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:52.799
And I'm at a point where I was like, you see

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.480
what you want to see, I don't give a crap. And

00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.820
how I came up with that answer was, I know it's

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:06.819
not necessary in the lyrics of the song, and

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:09.359
I'm going to tell you what the song is. It's

00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:13.119
called Crazy Town by Jason Aldean. But I just

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.079
like the lyrics to the song, especially because

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:24.690
at one point... Mike is talking about Nashville,

00:17:24.849 --> 00:17:29.289
Tennessee. But what's funny is that at one point

00:17:29.289 --> 00:17:41.089
in the song, his truck gets taken away from him

00:17:41.089 --> 00:17:43.549
and whatnot because he can't afford it anymore.

00:17:43.910 --> 00:17:50.539
And then something crazy happens next. He's on

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:55.440
the touring and making money and making millions.

00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.940
And I'm not saying I'm making millions because

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:02.000
I'm not making millions. But it's like, at one

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.839
point, no one's going to know what you're doing.

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:07.079
And at another point, someone else is going to

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.099
figure out. It's like, oh, this is what he's

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:11.779
doing. And he's like, oh, now I understand. And

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:17.329
so I just... Types of those songs and happy songs

00:18:17.329 --> 00:18:19.750
kind of get me into a reflection mood. It's like,

00:18:19.809 --> 00:18:23.029
okay, if there's people that want to care what

00:18:23.029 --> 00:18:27.730
I'm doing right now, see how this is part of

00:18:27.730 --> 00:18:33.509
my career, that's on them, not on me. And those

00:18:33.509 --> 00:18:37.450
types of songs kind of reflect, help me reflect

00:18:37.450 --> 00:18:41.059
on, it's like, hey, you know what? I'll prove

00:18:41.059 --> 00:18:43.180
them wrong anyway. I've been proving people wrong

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:49.039
since the day I was born, pretty much. Hmm. Okay.

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:54.240
So, basically, to go off of that, um, first thing,

00:18:54.400 --> 00:19:01.279
I'm gonna show you a song that, um, uh, gets

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.980
me through a lot right now, okay? It's called,

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:06.720
um, it's a country song, it's by Luke Combs,

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:10.309
and it's called Where the Wild Things Are. Um,

00:19:10.430 --> 00:19:15.990
but yeah, no. Um, so there's a lot of music out

00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:18.910
there. Um, and a lot of people have different

00:19:18.910 --> 00:19:21.890
tastes in music. What I might like to listen

00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:23.930
to in a stressful time, you might not like to

00:19:23.930 --> 00:19:26.930
listen to in a stressful time. People have different,

00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:31.549
people are different for a reason. The universe

00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:35.049
didn't make people the same. And each person

00:19:35.049 --> 00:19:39.609
has a unique personality. A unique look on life

00:19:39.609 --> 00:19:44.509
and a unique, you know, a unique life in general.

00:19:45.069 --> 00:19:48.670
And the moment you start comparing yourself to

00:19:48.670 --> 00:19:54.789
other people and trying to be like some, trying

00:19:54.789 --> 00:19:57.630
to be a version of yourself that you're not.

00:19:58.049 --> 00:20:02.970
And the moment you realize that is the moment

00:20:02.970 --> 00:20:08.319
you realize you're being fake. I had an experience

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:15.119
not too long ago where I let my I let every decision

00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:20.759
my brother made or my cousin made reflect on

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:24.380
me because I wanted to be just like them. I looked

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:30.759
up to them as kids. And I give a little history

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.140
about myself. I was diagnosed with bipolar one

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:39.180
disorder at six years old. I was in and out of

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:43.000
hospitals 10 times since the age of 6 to 9 to

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.079
10 years old. And I was hospitalized again at

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:55.279
15 and forced into a private school called Pathways

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.680
where I did not get along with my teachers and

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:03.559
did not get the education that I should have

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:11.130
got and deserved. So there's a lot. That's just

00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:16.769
half of it. And when I got older, I started realizing

00:21:16.769 --> 00:21:18.789
that there are certain things that my brother

00:21:18.789 --> 00:21:21.170
does that I can't do because of those disabilities.

00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:25.589
I am also neurologically impaired. I have a problem

00:21:25.589 --> 00:21:30.349
with mathematics, not so much reading or stuff

00:21:30.349 --> 00:21:32.069
like that. I just don't like to read that much

00:21:32.069 --> 00:21:37.500
unless it's a good manga. Um, but, uh, yeah,

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.720
no, I literally, um, I suffer from BPD disorder,

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:47.460
borderline personality disorder. Um, so I have

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:51.400
a lot, they just over the years just kept piling

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.059
diagnoses on me. And, uh, after a while I got

00:21:56.059 --> 00:22:00.759
tired of getting diagnosed with stuff. So, um,

00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:03.950
I did what anybody else would do and latch myself

00:22:03.950 --> 00:22:06.450
onto the most normal person that I could find.

00:22:06.630 --> 00:22:11.150
And that was my brother and my cousin. And one

00:22:11.150 --> 00:22:17.049
day my brother took me out to lunch and gave

00:22:17.049 --> 00:22:20.509
me some words of wisdom. He says, Garrett, why

00:22:20.509 --> 00:22:25.369
would you like to be like everyone else in the

00:22:25.369 --> 00:22:29.089
world? When everyone else in the world that you

00:22:29.089 --> 00:22:34.069
consider so -called normal, is actually boring.

00:22:34.430 --> 00:22:40.490
And you, you're exciting. You have all these

00:22:40.490 --> 00:22:43.910
different things that, you know, you've been

00:22:43.910 --> 00:22:47.089
fighting your entire life. And that makes you

00:22:47.089 --> 00:22:51.789
Garrett. That makes you who you are. And so instead

00:22:51.789 --> 00:22:55.009
of running away from those things, why don't

00:22:55.009 --> 00:22:59.269
you embrace them? Why don't you... Why don't

00:22:59.269 --> 00:23:02.309
you make those things your own identity instead

00:23:02.309 --> 00:23:04.549
of trying to chase after other people's identities?

00:23:05.009 --> 00:23:10.769
And I looked at him. And at the time, I wasn't

00:23:10.769 --> 00:23:13.349
ready to move forward with what he was talking

00:23:13.349 --> 00:23:16.369
about. But I kept it in the back of my head.

00:23:17.630 --> 00:23:26.670
And then the final thing that made me... Want

00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:31.230
to just own everything I have. Own every disability.

00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:37.410
Own every thing that I've done wrong. The thing

00:23:37.410 --> 00:23:44.009
that made me want to be me is music and art.

00:23:44.569 --> 00:23:52.869
And I love all kinds of music. You'll hear me

00:23:52.869 --> 00:23:55.029
listen to the genres that I like to listen to.

00:23:55.500 --> 00:24:01.220
When, you know, I'm in my car or I don't have

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:03.660
a car, but like when I'm in the car with people

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:06.279
and stuff like that, I'll put my headphones on.

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.880
I'll rock out to ACDC, Guns N' Roses, Metallica,

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:14.140
or I'll take a left turn and put on Billie Eilish

00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:20.680
or Britney Spears or Charlie Puth or Chloe Adams.

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:28.250
I love everything from. Little Dirk to Elton

00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:31.769
John, Elvis Presley. I have a wide music range

00:24:31.769 --> 00:24:38.630
because my dad said to me once he knew I was

00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:42.529
going to have problems and he knew that his sister

00:24:42.529 --> 00:24:44.930
had the same kind of issues I did. And what got

00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:48.930
her through those issues was music. And so every

00:24:48.930 --> 00:24:51.289
Tuesday night, here's a little story to go off

00:24:51.289 --> 00:24:54.160
on a tangent. Every Tuesday night when we were

00:24:54.160 --> 00:25:00.000
around 10 to 14 years old, my dad had a day off

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.039
of work. You know what my dad did with us, Jimmy?

00:25:02.859 --> 00:25:07.259
What? He decided that he was going to have a

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:10.200
cooking night with us and a wrestling night.

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:17.940
So we're basically cooking dinner and that is

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:22.380
the time we blare the music. So my dad, you know,

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:25.380
he would every Tuesday night he would ask us

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:27.240
what we would want for dinner. And we would say

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.380
pita pockets because that was the only thing

00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:33.880
besides burgers and dogs. And at the time, burgers

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.839
and dogs that my dad knew how to cook properly.

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:41.400
And so we would we would as we're making our

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.160
dinners, whether it was burger dogs or pita pockets,

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.589
we would blare the stereo. And I'd be in charge

00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:52.069
of the music because I always knew what the play,

00:25:52.089 --> 00:25:54.609
whatever, I could feel the mood. Do you know

00:25:54.609 --> 00:25:59.230
what an empath is, Jimmy? No. An empath is someone

00:25:59.230 --> 00:26:02.809
that can walk into a room and feel the emotions

00:26:02.809 --> 00:26:06.509
of other people's, basically other people's vibes.

00:26:07.269 --> 00:26:12.390
And know just by looking at them whether they're

00:26:12.390 --> 00:26:16.730
in a bad way or whether they're in a good way.

00:26:17.309 --> 00:26:21.130
And depending on those vibes is what that person

00:26:21.130 --> 00:26:25.349
hangs out with the most. So I could feel the

00:26:25.349 --> 00:26:30.630
vibes between my brother and my dad. And I would

00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:34.789
play music that we would all vibe with. I was

00:26:34.789 --> 00:26:40.990
a little DJ, you know? But the funny thing is,

00:26:41.049 --> 00:26:44.150
it turned into so much more after that. It turned

00:26:44.150 --> 00:26:52.309
into... It turned into martial arts because,

00:26:52.410 --> 00:26:55.490
in a way, martial arts is art. You know, you're

00:26:55.490 --> 00:26:59.089
expressing yourself with moves instead of, you

00:26:59.089 --> 00:27:04.289
know. But the funny thing is, and the real ironic

00:27:04.289 --> 00:27:08.509
thing is, I didn't think that music would play

00:27:08.509 --> 00:27:16.009
such a role in my life as it does today. I am

00:27:16.009 --> 00:27:19.490
grateful for whoever decided that music was going

00:27:19.490 --> 00:27:23.349
to be a thing in this society. But I am also

00:27:23.349 --> 00:27:27.230
grateful that I am learning how to be me. Just

00:27:27.230 --> 00:27:36.369
Garrett J. Hood through the vibes of music. Yeah.

00:27:38.009 --> 00:27:42.420
Honestly, I don't know how people... I've met

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:45.259
some people who just can't listen to music whatsoever.

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.240
And I'm like, how can that be possible? And it's

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.980
like, music is everywhere. And it's like, I love

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:57.000
music. I mean, there's some days where I don't

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.700
feel like listening to music. I mean, just because,

00:27:59.779 --> 00:28:04.079
like, my brain can literally pull up a song from

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.670
something I've... heard recently and it gets

00:28:06.670 --> 00:28:09.730
stuck in my head or i may listen to the same

00:28:09.730 --> 00:28:14.069
song on replay like uh i i posted this on social

00:28:14.069 --> 00:28:19.089
media kind of as like something i it wasn't like

00:28:19.089 --> 00:28:24.269
a joke it was my my guy the song crazy town by

00:28:24.269 --> 00:28:27.230
jason aldean i consider that as kind of the theme

00:28:27.230 --> 00:28:29.809
song for crazy fitness guy because i was like

00:28:30.250 --> 00:28:32.470
I'm going to prove everybody wrong at some point.

00:28:33.130 --> 00:28:38.730
Just because I like the whole story of this song.

00:28:40.730 --> 00:28:44.529
Especially I like the live version because it

00:28:44.529 --> 00:28:50.289
just ends like kick -ass style. I don't know

00:28:50.289 --> 00:28:54.369
how to say it in any other words. The beautiful

00:28:54.369 --> 00:28:59.059
thing about music. is sometimes you don't need

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:03.079
to explain. Because right now, between me and

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.119
you, I get what you're saying. Because the theme

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.759
song to your life, to Crazy Fitness Man right

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:16.339
now, is that song, Crazy Train, right? No, not

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:19.900
Crazy. Crazy Boys and Boys. Crazy Town. Crazy

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:24.819
Town. And I'm sorry about that. And the funny

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:28.849
thing is, I... We all have theme songs to our

00:29:28.849 --> 00:29:32.829
song, to our life in different in different parts

00:29:32.829 --> 00:29:35.910
of our life. Yours is that one. Right now, mine

00:29:35.910 --> 00:29:42.410
is Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. So and the funny

00:29:42.410 --> 00:29:47.250
thing is, I get it. You know, you just just just

00:29:47.250 --> 00:29:52.630
know I get it. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:55.640
Did you know Crazy Fitness Guy is not backed

00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:00.140
by any corporate company and is just a one -person

00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:03.839
show? Well, there's this term around the podcasting

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:08.480
community called indie podcasters. I'm an independent

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.559
podcast creator, so because I'm not backed by

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:16.140
a huge big corporate company, well, if I run

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:19.900
out of money and everything else, Crazy Fitness

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:24.029
Guy would no longer exist. No website, no podcast,

00:30:24.430 --> 00:30:27.230
no nothing. If you want to help support the show

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.220
I don't know how people do not listen to music.

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:07.099
I mean, there's not like some days they don't

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:08.680
feel like listening to it. I mean, they just

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.200
don't like it, period. I'm like, music has done

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:20.380
everything. TV, commercials, radio, music. I'm

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:26.160
like, oh. Yeah. So the funny thing is, there

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.640
are people out there that don't listen to the

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:34.940
type of music we listen to. And there are people

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:40.680
out there that, because of certain, we'll just

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:47.480
say belief systems, believe that music is a sin.

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:51.799
But we'll stay away from that. But because that's

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.579
a conversation for another day. And I don't know

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:55.660
if either you or me are prepared for that right

00:31:55.660 --> 00:32:02.640
now. And but to go into a little history of what

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:08.259
I ran into in my life with music. I had one person

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:13.759
tell me that and just come up to me. I just had

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.440
this one person come up to me while I was in

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.759
college. I was jamming out to some song. and

00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.579
in my friend's car and me and my friend were

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:25.240
just sitting there with the windows open you

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.059
know all that stuff and we were jamming jamming

00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:31.000
out to this song and this lady comes up to us

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.519
and says don't you know that type of music is

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:39.140
a is a it is made by the devil and i was just

00:32:39.140 --> 00:32:42.819
like lady where'd you hear that and then she

00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:48.210
tried to educate us on um uh She basically tried

00:32:48.210 --> 00:32:52.029
to educate us and tell us that Lucifer was the

00:32:52.029 --> 00:32:55.849
angel of music before heaven fell into a war.

00:32:57.789 --> 00:33:00.329
So, I don't know. People have their different

00:33:00.329 --> 00:33:04.569
beliefs. People have their different views and

00:33:04.569 --> 00:33:07.769
stuff like that. And like I said, we could touch

00:33:07.769 --> 00:33:14.869
on that another day. But basically, for instance,

00:33:15.369 --> 00:33:19.230
Hospitals are now hiring music therapists to

00:33:19.230 --> 00:33:27.609
help people with mental illness or any kind of

00:33:27.609 --> 00:33:31.829
setback that they have. They are offering it

00:33:31.829 --> 00:33:37.390
as a program at rehab hospitals. They are offering

00:33:37.390 --> 00:33:42.549
it as a program at regular psychiatric hospitals.

00:33:44.430 --> 00:33:49.470
They are also offering art therapy and that save

00:33:49.470 --> 00:33:52.369
you the trouble from asking me about art and

00:33:52.369 --> 00:33:54.410
stuff like that. I'm just going to segue into

00:33:54.410 --> 00:34:00.750
it. Is that OK? Yeah, sure. So the reason and

00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:03.569
I'm going to say music and art go hand in hand

00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:08.789
together. And and the and from my personal this

00:34:08.789 --> 00:34:11.289
is all just from my personal experience, Jimmy.

00:34:11.510 --> 00:34:16.769
So, you know. But in my personal experience,

00:34:17.369 --> 00:34:22.750
art is just another form of music. It's the flow

00:34:22.750 --> 00:34:26.630
of the brush. It's the idea that pops into your

00:34:26.630 --> 00:34:29.130
head, the small minuscule idea that pops into

00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:31.929
your head that you don't know is there. And then

00:34:31.929 --> 00:34:36.110
when you're finished your product, you get something

00:34:36.110 --> 00:34:41.760
that puts you at peace. I want to work on it

00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:43.199
a little more. I want to work on it a little

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:53.579
longer. And see, we wouldn't be anywhere if we

00:34:53.579 --> 00:35:01.500
didn't have music or art. Or for instance, people,

00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:05.519
how do I explain this? To me, music is a second

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:10.280
language and art can easily be a second language.

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:13.800
Because, for instance, let's say you get someone

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:22.119
that doesn't talk but can hear you and see you,

00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:27.460
but they just can't talk, right? They can write

00:35:27.460 --> 00:35:33.199
out what they want, right? Or they can express

00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:38.090
themselves in other ways through music. I'm going

00:35:38.090 --> 00:35:40.769
to segue into a Transformers thing real quick.

00:35:40.989 --> 00:35:46.670
But anyone else notice, besides everyone in the

00:35:46.670 --> 00:35:52.050
world, that when Sam talked to Bumblebee, Bumblebee

00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:56.329
couldn't speak normal. So he used his radio and

00:35:56.329 --> 00:36:00.230
certain lyrics in songs that he found to communicate

00:36:00.230 --> 00:36:05.949
with Sam. And I thought that was brilliant. A

00:36:05.949 --> 00:36:09.030
brilliant idea on whoever wrote Transformers.

00:36:09.409 --> 00:36:15.869
And because it touches on the fact that music

00:36:15.869 --> 00:36:20.269
is actually a language. It's not just therapeutic

00:36:20.269 --> 00:36:27.389
for people. It's not just something you listen

00:36:27.389 --> 00:36:31.170
to when you're in a bad mood. But you could be

00:36:31.170 --> 00:36:36.579
blaring... Let's see. You could be blaring Adele

00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:39.820
and be in the happiest of moods of the world.

00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:45.300
But you have set fire on the rain and on your

00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:48.559
radio. And people walk into your apartment or

00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.039
people are listening to you vibe out to this.

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.619
And you could just literally be in the happiest

00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:58.880
mood in the world. And people will get that.

00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.539
You know what I'm saying? They will catch your

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:06.280
vibe and they will... you know vibe with you

00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:11.340
but the funny thing is like i going back to the

00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:15.820
second language thing um that's it's literally

00:37:15.820 --> 00:37:19.380
either a second language or you know one of the

00:37:19.380 --> 00:37:24.019
very firsts but um music can be used for all

00:37:24.019 --> 00:37:26.659
sorts of things it can be used for plays it can

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:33.019
be used for mental health but what What I didn't

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:36.300
realize is art can be used in so many different

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:41.500
ways, too. Okay? So, let's take an architect

00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:45.320
for building buildings, okay? Well, I can give

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.780
you a real life example. Oh, yeah. Go for it.

00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:57.079
I can... I had to set the tone on this real quick.

00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:01.559
So, there's... So, growing up, I hated my...

00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:06.159
public school uh let's just say make a long story

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:10.159
short me and my school district butted heads

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:15.559
like this uh that is a whole nother issue for

00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.079
another day but uh but basically i always thought

00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.940
my school system was a prison and ironically

00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:31.460
enough in my 12th grade art class i I created

00:38:31.460 --> 00:38:34.619
a... Wait, what was I talking? I'm going to say

00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:36.659
12th grade. I forget which art class it was.

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:43.880
In 12th grade, for one of my projects, I decided

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:48.559
to make a small little replica of a school and

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:53.539
make it into a prison. Well, a lot of... Let's

00:38:53.539 --> 00:38:55.960
just say a lot of the parents who came in for...

00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:02.300
I had the art show, so I was like, I can't believe

00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:05.039
the school let you do such a thing. I was like,

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.320
that should be banned. Why? I didn't say anything

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:10.940
nasty about the school. That's my opinion on

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:15.900
how I felt. Anyway, and a lot of people thought

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:17.699
I was going to get pushback from the principal.

00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.480
You know what's funny? The principal actually

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:24.340
said this deserves an award. I had somebody from

00:39:24.340 --> 00:39:30.150
one of the local art... critics gave it an award

00:39:30.150 --> 00:39:35.369
for saying it's like true feelings well done

00:39:35.369 --> 00:39:39.090
and i was like crap that's my first award in

00:39:39.090 --> 00:39:47.610
the art show that's funny so um basically uh

00:39:47.610 --> 00:39:52.010
what i'm trying that that is a good example but

00:39:52.010 --> 00:39:57.800
that also kind of um segues into what I want

00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:05.619
to talk about next. So what do you call it? Before

00:40:05.619 --> 00:40:10.039
I go, to be honest with you, Jimmy, I have other

00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:13.300
things that I got to do. But what I wanted to

00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:18.860
say is there are songs about what you just described.

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:23.099
I don't know if you've ever listened to... They're

00:40:23.099 --> 00:40:26.429
drawing a blank right now. But I don't know if

00:40:26.429 --> 00:40:33.530
you ever listened to the song either Sum 41 or

00:40:33.530 --> 00:40:38.469
Good Charlotte that talk about their school years

00:40:38.469 --> 00:40:44.670
being prisons. And honestly, this will have to

00:40:44.670 --> 00:40:50.230
pick up this on another time. But I believe the

00:40:50.230 --> 00:40:53.570
current school system. The school education system

00:40:53.570 --> 00:40:59.289
needs to be changed. And I believe for people

00:40:59.289 --> 00:41:05.309
like ourselves, excuse me, it should be a choice

00:41:05.309 --> 00:41:08.190
whether you go to school or not. Because, like,

00:41:08.190 --> 00:41:13.469
for instance, let's say you're suffering, right?

00:41:13.730 --> 00:41:16.530
People are getting diagnosed with mental illness

00:41:16.530 --> 00:41:22.440
younger and younger these days. Yes, there are

00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:30.780
a lot of new programs out there that are good

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:33.699
for kids in school, but it doesn't give them

00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:38.440
the, you know, break that they need. Sometimes

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:42.980
after the school year kicks off and all that

00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:48.360
stuff, sometimes I believe, how do I put this?

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:54.059
To me, I already had enough stuff going on in

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:59.579
my head when I was a teenager with mental illness.

00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:07.679
I didn't need to be bullied and ridiculed every

00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:16.519
day for how many hours of school? Seven or eight.

00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:19.400
Yeah, for seven or eight hours of the day, I

00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.829
didn't need to be... Ridiculed by my bullies,

00:42:22.829 --> 00:42:24.909
laughed at because I didn't get something the

00:42:24.909 --> 00:42:28.289
teacher said. So there should have been an out

00:42:28.289 --> 00:42:31.849
for me. I mean, when I was in school at 16, you

00:42:31.849 --> 00:42:35.469
could drop out of high school. But no, I think

00:42:35.469 --> 00:42:39.929
there should be not a dropout option, but like,

00:42:40.030 --> 00:42:44.989
I think there should be an option where if you're

00:42:44.989 --> 00:42:49.179
overwhelmed, you get to go home. Not sick, not,

00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:53.139
you know, there has to be better options for

00:42:53.139 --> 00:42:56.119
kids with mental illness trying to survive today's

00:42:56.119 --> 00:43:05.260
school society. And there has to be. There just

00:43:05.260 --> 00:43:11.300
has to be. I mean, schools in general are making

00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:17.050
it difficult, more difficult for kids to. want

00:43:17.050 --> 00:43:23.570
to stay and finish kids like us and um unfortunately

00:43:23.570 --> 00:43:30.210
they're it's more geared to the kids with atypical

00:43:30.210 --> 00:43:32.429
minds instead of b -typical minds you know what

00:43:32.429 --> 00:43:39.030
i'm saying anyway i do have to go i am uh i am

00:43:39.030 --> 00:43:42.630

00:43:42.630 --> 00:43:44.969

out crazyfitnessguy .com. Check out the latest

00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:07.190
blog posts. Hydroflask is the best water bottle

00:45:07.190 --> 00:45:10.449
in my opinion because it keeps my water nice

00:45:10.449 --> 00:45:13.869
and cold and refreshing throughout the day. And

00:45:13.869 --> 00:45:15.670
yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout the

00:45:15.670 --> 00:45:19.269
day, so even though it stays colder for longer,

00:45:19.469 --> 00:45:25.000
I still like having... a reusable water bottle

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.739
like Hydroflex because it just sits on my desk

00:45:29.739 --> 00:45:34.920
and it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:39.599
you gotta drink water. And Hydroflex, it keeps

00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:42.980
it cold longer, which makes me want to drink

00:45:42.980 --> 00:45:45.480
more water throughout the day because, you know,

00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.860
there's nothing worse than drinking warm water.

00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:54.429
Go to Hydroflex .com. And use the link in the

00:45:54.429 --> 00:45:57.889
