Mental Health Matters - In So many ways!

In this Saturday‑night live stream, host Brooke Cheney (referred to as SPEAKER A) leads a conversational, community‑focused discussion on mental health. The core theme is becoming aware of one’s thoughts and feelings and using that awareness to ask helpful questions. The host shares personal anecdotes about physical suffering (her own shingles, a friend’s hand surgery, a viewer’s car accident) and emotional pain, illustrating techniques such as focused attention on the source of pain, gratitude practice, and the Stoic mindset of “embrace the suck.” The chat is lively, with co‑host DJ and numerous regular viewers receiving shout‑outs, jokes, and schedule reminders for related streams (gun‑focused shows, “Hillbilly” programming, “Maximum Magnum Mondays,” etc.). Practical resources are highlighted, notably the national suicide‑prevention helpline 988 and Connecticut’s local 211 line, plus an upcoming free Use‑of‑Force seminar. Philosophical quotes from Marcus Aurelius and the Latin phrase amor fati are introduced to reinforce the idea that suffering is optional. The stream blends mental‑health education, community building, humor, and promotion of other creator content, ending with a reminder to stay grateful and to use the tools discussed when life gets difficult.
Chapters
Good thing this thing is muted. I forgot I had another window open. I'm like, why am I hearing an echo? Hello everybody, it is Suicide Friends Saturday. No, I'm sorry, it's Mental Health Matters, um, because we can't say the S-word anymore because YouTube will turn us off. So, uh, thank you all for popping in, uh, Saturday night, 9 PM Eastern, every night as much as possible since 2018, joining you from Facebook, YouTube. Once in a while we pop this up on LinkedIn. But anyway, wherever you're joining us from, thank you for popping in tonight. Mental Health Matters. I like the new name because it says so many things all at the same time, right? Mental health is important as far as matters, as it's important, or mental health matters as we are trying to take care of our mental health and find ways to make it good, make it better, all of those things. So tonight's topic: being aware of what we are feeling and thinking, and being aware enough to ask ourselves questions that will actually help us. So for those of you over on the Facebook side, uh, Mike Ballinger has been following me since almost the beginning of this, pretty close to. I would say he's the most loyal, long-lasting fan. I appreciate all you guys that are new here, relatively speaking, but he had surgery the other day and he's had complications from the surgery, and he's been in pain and suffering, and it's not lovely. And because we had just— I just had 2 weeks of shingles and all that fun stuff, we had something in common here where suffering sucks, right? And suffering is part of life, and we know that stuff as well. And it's one of those things where when things are not going well. These are the times when it is hardest for us to be resourceful because, as I've used the analogy before, when we're walking through the living room and we stub our toe on the coffee table, there are lots of words that go through our mouths or our brains or our body, because depending on how hard you hit that sucker. And for me, I don't feel I'm being overly resourceful as I figure out what my worst potty-mouth words that I could possibly say are. But when we are suffering, one of the hardest things to do is to try to get ourselves out of the suffering mentality. Mike was talking to me about earlier today about how it's so hard when we can't do the stuff that we're used to doing. And I agree with him completely. Simple things like buttoning a shirt or heck, even putting a shirt on, things like that, being able to cut up your own food. Like I said, he had surgery on his hand. For me, when I was sick, it was definitely more a matter of I can't get up, I can't do much, I'm just sitting here. And it's very easy when we are in that mode, when we're having challenges, DJ is going to do the callout in a little bit. So I don't know if Tara's here or not because I am trying to ignore the chat while I stay on target, at least for the first 5 or 10 minutes of this. And like, Tara got into that horrible car accident or motorcycle accident, and the road to recovery can be painful. And while we're doing these things, we have to think about, well, what's good about this? For those of you who just joined us, um, If you look at the thumbnail for this, that is what the thumbnail is, is what's good about this. And I know being sick for almost a full 2 weeks, I really had to work on, well, what's good about this? And I was like, well, I got to slow down. I get to think on things. I got to remember how important it is to not just go, go, go, go, go all the time. Now that I'm better, I know that I almost missed the quiet time that I had, and my husband and I and our family were trying to figure out how do I get back to that quiet time of not running around like craziness all the time. So no matter where we're at, no matter what we're suffering with, the thing that would always help me when I was a kid and being bullied at home and other things was there's always someone out there that has it worse. There's always someone who has it better, and you get to decide what you're focusing on. So when we focus on our pain and our suffering, we can either feel it more or feel it less. And I know that kind of maybe sounds odd, but if you have a meditation practice, one of the things you can learn in meditation is if you are in extreme pain and you focus on where the pain is coming from— not that it hurts, but where the pain is coming from— often the pain disappears. Now, I do this with my migraines from time to time because I try not to take the drugs all the time, and it works. But you can only focus on paying attention where the pain is for so long, and then you forget about it and it's gone, and then it comes back, and you have to go back to focusing on, okay, where is the pain? And that makes it disappear. It's just like any other muscle. The more you do it, the more helpful it is. However, it doesn't work for everything. Um, yeah, for those of you on the Facebook side, uh, if you look up Michael Ballinger's, uh, thing, he's got pictures of his hand. And just imagine this being blown up like 3 times, and that's what his hand looks like. It looks painful. Thinking on where the pain is coming from probably is not going to work for that exactly, but you don't know until you try. Uh, but knowing that you have tools in your toolbox is kind of the challenge. So back to what it says in our thing: when you know the pain ain't leaving for any time soon, it hurts so bad that you can't cry, all you can do is laugh. Yes. So Chasing Ghosts, Tara and I were having a conversation, um, and forgive me, Tara, I don't remember which time this was, but we were talking about our pain or our inappropriate responses to stuff. Because the one time I remember my husband getting really mad at me was when I— my son fell down and like smashed his face into the ground. My stress response is laughter. And Tara was telling me how when she was in the ER and she was all broken, she was laughing because that is also her stress response. And, um, she's like, she's a little freaking people out. Um, and it's just like everybody deals with pain differently, uh, emotional pain, physical pain. Pain is— it doesn't matter which way it goes because we all have all of it. We generally don't want to talk about it ever because we don't want to listen to other people's pain Or we believe that nobody wants to listen to our pain because who wants to listen to somebody else whine and complain about how bad everything is? Because life is bad and hard for everyone. However, we do all have blessings as well, and some things in our lives that seem like they're the most horrible things ever could actually be good things. So being aware of what's going on in your head focusing on or realizing what you're focusing on. Like the coffee table example, right? When I've stubbed my toe on the coffee table in my dad's house when I was much younger, I just remember, ah, and it hurts so much I couldn't even say anything because it was just like, okay, there's an extreme amount of pain. If I make any noise, it's going to be a lot of noise. And holding it in, letting it pass, and then breathing. So I learned that technique at a young age because I swear we had the coffee table from H-E Double Hockey Sticks. It was very square and had very sharp corners on its legs. And for those of you who never had the joy of stubbing your toe, usually the pinky toe, and it felt like you've ripped it off your foot. Yeah, these are memorable things. So when stuff sucks is the hardest time to be resourceful. So that's when things are good and others are suffering, why it's so much easier to say, oh, just take a deep breath, you'll be fine, because you're not in that pain and suffering. However, if we keep paying attention to the things that we should do, and pay attention to the fact that we have a choice of what we're focusing on. One of my things I say often, especially on over on Facebook, is we have pain— not, sorry, pain— hate and anger are poisons that you feed yourself. And unfortunately, there's a lot of hate and anger out there currently. And unfortunately, the people who are spewing all of the hate and anger don't realize that they're really just poisoning themselves. So, Mr. DJ, if you would like— I know you're writing furiously earlier to make sure you got everybody up there. Uh, you ready? You ready? You got your list?
I am, absolutely. Right on. Tonight we are joined by G23, Patriot in the Dark, for Happy Turtles out there. So let's go to websites. Sorry, a fan 93 in the crowd. Chasing Ghosts, Gizzard Gary's out there. So is Hillbilly Up. Woods, the great— the man of the great Pacific Northwest, has joined us. Uh, Mike Ballinger is out there, so is Jamie JH586. And I wanted to, uh, tell Patriot in the Dark that yeah, Venus flytrap, I absolutely get the reference, man. And, uh, thanks for shouting that out early.
Okay, sorry, I muted myself because I started coughing while you were doing all that. Um, yeah, so Patriot in the Dark was saying earlier in the chat that I was hiding from him, he couldn't find me. I figure Patriot in the Dark is the best one to play hide and seek with because I figure I got a good chance of winning. But, um, so yeah, so, uh, Tara made me cringe when she put this one up. Remember stepping on a sewing needle barefoot in a shag carpet? Oh dear, no. Um, and then a quick shout out to Jamie. Just want you to know, I think I'm sleepy because I stayed up so late and got to listen to you guys last night.. And I think I saw Gizzard out here as well. Um, but yeah, so DJ and I were just talking about that too. It's like I actually got to like check in on a bunch of folks, uh, last night, help from Mike. Um, yeah, so yeah, I don't know, Mike, when you joined us. Oh no, it says 9:01, so you're here. So you've heard everything I was talking about. All right. Um, nice to have you guys all here. Uh, Gizzard, it was fun. It was nice of you to say that I was a nice lady when you met me at SHOT last year. I appreciate that. Um, you were a nice guy too. And I'm just curious, how many beers did you get up to yesterday? Uh, for those of you have not been to Gizzard Gary's show, because he is not always here, so I don't always mention him because, you know, squirrel, because barbecue's not out there yet, so I can say that without getting 5 million squirrels in the chat. But, um, Gizzard Gary had a Friday night, uh, show, and it's moving to Motivational Mondays. No, that's not what it's called. Gizzard, by all means, uh, what is the name of your new Monday night at and what time is it, so folks can go check that out. For Jamie, J-H whatever the rest of those numbers are— just like, I'm not looking at Jamie's thing right now. Uh, Jamie has Friday night, and he talks— they talk about gun stuff. They also have a scripture for the week, and sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short. I know last night he said it was longer, and I'm not gonna lie, I might have fallen asleep in part of that. But I did wake up for the end, and that's how I got to Gizzard as well. So, and then, as you guys, if you're not new here, at the top of this hour, uh, our buddy Hillbilly has his show, and it will go on for a roughly hour and a half to 2 hours generally every night after this. And I think that's everybody out in the chat that's got something going on that I am aware of, at least. Uh, Abigail, I'm not sure. I don't I haven't looked at— I don't know what time your schedule is and that sort of thing. So anyway, those of you— okay, there you go. Thank you. Um, it's called Maximum Magnum Mondays with the Giz. Oh no, not for real. Sorry, that was just the first one that I saw. DJ, leave me alone. All right, so on Monday nights I stopped touching things. Um, sorry, DJ and I were just having, um, keyboard wars because I'd put it up, he'd take it down, and vice versa. So, uh, Foul Territory on Monday nights at 9 PM Central. And I don't know what Gizra always talks about. I do know last night we were discussing beer and, um, other things. So there's guns involved in SHOT Show, and we just talked about lots of different stuff. So I apologize, guys. Oh yeah, sorry, I did stay up too late last night. Too late last night. Yeah, it was past my bedtime. And what was even funnier about last night is someone thought I was Barbecue's girl, and that was hysterical. Oh, that was on, um, Gizzard Gary's, um, Foul Territory. That was where it was. So you fall— that was funny. Anywho, um, Uh, okay, so now I know it's 3.5 beers from last night. So that was just part of the conversation. And all right, so now I know Abigail hasn't streamed in years. Don't think they'll want to watch me play Enlisted or Ace Combat. You never know. I know I've got a 17 and 18-year-old, and they certainly watch plenty of gaming videos of all different stripes. So you never know what people are going to want to watch because, you know, I also don't know what people want to watch and here I am every Saturday anyway. So main goal for every night, every Saturday that I come on is to give you something to think about. Maybe it's a tool that you can use. Maybe it's a tool you can share with somebody else like our resources, which we haven't talked about in a while. I am like slacking hardcore. But nationally, if you are in need of help of suicide prevention, 988 is now our national helpline. It does send you generally to your local one. Uh, here in Connecticut, our local one is 211, and I don't know what it is in other states, but DJ here, he actually knows what it is in other countries in case anyone from other countries should be visiting as well. So, um, he is the font of information. Also, what else do I talk— oh, G-Webs. I, um, the show before this is, um, Gun Websites, and he and Tony Simon are talking about all things guns. You can go watch the replay from before tonight, and we were talking a little bit about legislative stuff because here in Connecticut we're in the legislative session And I had a really important link to give you all because this Wednesday I am doing a free use of force, um, free use of force seminar on Zoom. And for those of you who are not aware of use of force continuum, Wednesday night, 7 PM Eastern to 8 PM Eastern, I'm going to do a 45-minute presentation with one of my other instructors and then a 15-minute Q&A. For those of you who are not in Connecticut, the second part might be boring because it's just what some of the other Connecticut laws are, but I do keep meaning to mention it to y'all. I did put the link up in G Web's, um, stream before here, but I just don't have it on this computer right now because I was on the, on the phone when I did it. So I'll put it in the chat— not the chat, at the end of this I'll go put it in as a comment. For those of you who have not done it yet, DJ is very good about reminding y'all, but hit the like button, subscribe, all of those things. All right, so what else can you think of? Oh, what did I just see? Bubba! Bubba! Bubba is here, the ever so important Bubba Tri-Clops Ballistics. Um, and Walter! Walter's here! Oh, how exciting! Sorry, I keep itching my head. Um, but it's lovely. Lucille DM Foss has helped me out. Viejo, nice to see you. Um, and listen, yeah, so last night Viejo was one of the panelists on Jamie's show, and every time Jamie's internet was cutting out, Viejo would pop in and he would continue reading whatever verse it was that we were on. So always good to see you, Bubba. Glad to see you're not working. And Chris is here, our Atomic Punk. Very cool. I feel so special. Um, thank y'all for popping in. All right, mental health matters. I keep saying the same stuff over and over again to try to keep myself on topic, but the best thing we can do for ourselves is practice the things that we need to do when things are good. So when bad things happen, we've built that muscle a little bit to be able to look at, is the glass half empty or half full, or am I just grateful that I have water to drink? So Having your gratitude, being thankful for all of the things that we do have every day. Um, I forget which one of the streams I was listening to, it might not even been one of you guys, but we were talking about here in America we are— we eat 3 times a day, if not more, because we can. And you know, 100 years ago you'd eat once, maybe twice. And just there's so much in our lives to be thankful for. And if we build that muscle of growing that thought process of like every breath I take is a small miracle. And no, we don't have to start singing a Police song right now, but we could. And every beat of our heart is a small miracle. Just the simplicity of what our bodies do in every moment of every day and we start on that microcosm of, hmm, inhale air, the air gets separated into the molecules that my blood needs to then give life to the rest of my body. That's like micro stuff, right? And then for those of us that all of our body parts work, we have all of that. And then there's Patriot in the Dark, whose eyeballs do not work, is my understanding. And so, but he can still be thankful for all the rest of what does work. And if we start with ourselves and focus on ourselves, of how amazing each one of us are as a miracle, then it's easier to start looking out around us. But we have to start with ourselves because you and I are the only ones who can control what's going on in here. Now, we are bombarded with so much stuff, right? You turn on Facebook, you turn on YouTube, you turn on the news, there's hate, anger, frustration out there like crazy. I actually took Facebook off of my phone this week because enough is enough. And being aware of what's around us, being around, of feeding what's here with good stuff. This is why all of the shows that I mentioned before— Hillbilly at the end of— at the top of the next hour, um, Gary, uh, DM Foss, um, all of this stuff is information that's like educational. It's not hateful, it's not mean, it's none of those things. It's just having a conversation about stuff you like having conversations about. Uh, Jamie bringing the Bible to you in bits and pieces while talking about other stuff that you're having fun talking about. And the ability that we have to do all of these things— it's like Mike, Mike Ballinger, when we started talking about this in the beginning, it's just like one of the things he talked about was with as much pain as he's in, as much as he's suffering, as much as he can't do, he knows how blessed he is because he's got an amazing wife, Pam, who helps take care of him through all of this sort of stuff. So no matter where we're at, there's always something to be grateful for. And if we can focus on grabbing on to, focusing on, paying attention to all of the things we have to be grateful for, like I have an amazing co-host who's going to end the show for us not that long from now. There's always something to be thankful for. I didn't mean you had to jump on right now, but I just figured I may be in my list of gratefulness that I'd make sure I mentioned you, DJ. You got something to be grateful for to tell people about?
I always have something to be grateful for. And Woods is out there. Yeah, Woods is out there and he's a fan of Marcus Aurelius. And I knew the Stokes would have something to say about pain and This is an unattributed quote, but I like it a lot. "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." And so about this very thing, Marcus Aurelius says, "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your own estimate of it. And this you have the power to revoke at any moment." There's some clarity and some centering in some people that is absent from me in some key moments, but it's nice to know that for centuries now, it has been suggested that it's all in your head kind of thing.
Yeah, it's crazy because like when I learned about focusing on where is the pain, and I actually take the time to focus on, all right, where is the pain, it literally disappears. Um, but it takes a lot to do it because you can focus on where it's at and then it goes away, and then you start then not focusing on it and then it comes back. So again, like I said, I don't expect it to work for everything, but it's like It is pretty amazing how it can work, but we do the same things to ourselves with our emotional pain as well. Um, you know, grief, for example. Um, it's when we lose someone, we're sad because we know we're not going to have any more good new memories. And the longer it goes, we're still sad about it. But it becomes less painful. And yet sometimes it can still smack us in the head like a 2x4. So it is what it is.
And so I'm going to bring this up to the screen now. Mike Ballinger earlier in the chat put in something. I didn't know what it was, so I needed to look it up. And that's Latin. I'm not sure about the pronunciation. We'll go with amor fati, but the translation is love of fate. And there's something a little bit more colloquial, a little bit more current. Embrace the suck. That I think translates.
Yeah, embrace the suck is definitely a thing. But yeah, it's— yeah, like I said, when I was a kid getting picked on all the time, it was remembering someone always had it worse and someone always had it better. My mom and I have this conversation, and my mom was a pretty good alcoholic when I was a kid. And on Friday, Saturday nights, she'd always come home drunk. She'd come into my room and she said, I love you, and then, you know, smelling of the bar and whatnot. And then she'd go to bed. And then at some point, maybe 13, 14, I had the gall to say, you know, Mom, the only time you ever tell me that you love me is when you're drunk. And my mom, God bless her, um, her reply was, well, you can be thankful at least I'm not a mean drunk. So it's just like, it's how you look at it, because she wasn't wrong, because there were kids out there who have drunk parents who come home and beat the crap out of them on a regular basis. And so as much as I didn't enjoy the fact that she was drunk, I could appreciate the fact that she really did love me. And unfortunately, being drunk was the only time she could tell me at the time. But, you know, we grow, we learn, all that sort of thing. So, um, nothing to say on that one, DJ? You're still muted. Are you eating something?
No, actually, during the tail end of maybe getting to the third hour of G-Web's Ask Gun Questions chat earlier, they started to talk about food, and I seriously had to ditch. I had to get something in me, and I ate big tonight. So, uh, no, not still chewing. Um, rubbing, rubbing the belly right now because it's full, sort of.
Yeah. Well, um, yeah, I like Abigail's thing of I don't trust any alcohol that comes in a box, and I wish I could say I agree with her, but I've actually had some really yummy boxed wine. However, I don't think that there's any vodka that comes in a box that I'm aware of, so, um, oh, but anyway Those are my things. All right, so what else have I missed? Anything in the comments that we didn't talk about? Saria fan. All right, hold please. Stab my toe on the upstairs— I don't even know what that is— many times. Uh, said the Lord's name in vain just as many times as well. Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure I said the Lord's name in vain. I think I said something about a parental unit and what happens. Um, so yeah, it's usually like a mother moment and not a polite mother moment, uh, when I am extolling my vocabulary upon the world after stubbing one's toe. So, all right, foul territory Monday nights. Jamie, what time? Jamie, are you still here? Um, what time on Friday nights does that start? I just know that I get told that Jamie is on, and it's because I have— I'm subscribed and I'm subbed and I put the notification bell on, but I have no idea what time it is. I'm like, Jamie's on, so it's Friday. Uh, DJ, what time is that? You look like you might know.
Well, I always hesitate to say because of the time zone translation issues.
Well, just say it in your time zone and everyone else can figure it out from there.
7, but now you got to know what time zone I'm in, and, and no spoilers.
Oh, come on, share.
But I will tell you that I know what a balustrade is though. Um, on a staircase you have the railing, and then they're, uh, oh yeah, balusters are the, are the supports themselves. So the balustrade is the long line of them sort of deal.
Oh, okay. I just looked at that word and that was like, um, hors d'oeuvres apparently. I never knew how it was spelled.
So, um, and check this out, all over the place we get the kind of assistance we need. Yeah, he's in Pacific, but he knows that it's 8 Eastern. And let's see, back up. And Gary, he's, you know, he edges a little bit saying he believes Gary's like 90-plus whatever percent right. Come on now. He says that the Georgia Shooting Connection is Fridays at 7 PM Central. So I guess I got it right.
Sorry, I'm ducking to cover because I got to go get the, the power supply because I'm like, all of a sudden it got really dim in here and it's like, okay. Oh, look at Abigail. She's giving us all of it. 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central, 6 PM Mountain, and 5, 5 metric. Is that what California is in metric? Um, that's funny. All right, so, oh, and then Barbecue shows up too. I didn't even get to hear all the things we talked about before. Oh well. Horse.
Yes.
Um, Mr. Mark Thomas, yes, horse d'orves. That's kind of what hors d'oeuvres looks like when you actually look at the proper French spelling.
Um, horsey doovers. My dad used to pull the horsey doover things.
Well, it's like if I look at the French on the menu, I have to say yes, for hors d'oeuvres I would like. I cannot look at the actual spelling and then do it. Oh yeah, and for the love of peanut butter and jelly, DJ, What did you say in Japanese when we were on G Web's stream?
Uh, something about laughing, I think. I can't remember. I used a translator. Come on, to be able to use the Japanese characters themselves. I think Foss might have known what I was saying, or Tony may have. Somebody gave an indication.
And then of course, if we're gonna go with hors d'oeuvres, we can go with horse ovaries as well.
I've never seen them on a pass tray at a cocktail party, but you know, sometimes I don't bother to ask.
Maybe I have. No, not everybody knows what caviar is, or sweetbreads, or things like that. They have weird names and they're not what you think they are. Um, this is— speaking of Japan, uh, that'll be one of those things. It'll be interesting. I'm like, I'm probably not gonna ask, but I know one of the things that everyone says you must have are the takoyaki something or other, which are octopus balls. Yeah, is that the— and it's balls of octopus meat, to be clear, right? Um, yeah, but yeah, I'm like, I might try it if I don't know what it is. I can't think about it and do it. Um, just because— no, um, but I'm sure it's yummy, but no. Um, but I'll let you all know next April. Yeah, whenever that occurs. Um, yeah, so gizzard. I never say I'm 100% certain. I'll be like, I believe that is what it is.
So Taki—
taco is octopus. All right, sorry. Escargot a couple years ago while in Wichita. Um, yeah, I've been eating, uh, snails since I was a wee child because really, as far as I can tell, it's really just garlic butter with something chewy in it, and garlic is yummy. What about you, DJ?
Uh, it's been a while. There's, there's a place in town that does them. It's one of those things, depends on, uh, it can be an excellent choice for a first date, it can be disastrous. It depends on the adventure like how much it— how, uh, adventurous a person is. And I don't know, I don't think it's like a great— it's not a great idea to try and like fool people or—
oh no, no, no, no. Yeah, they don't ask. The don't ask, don't tell thing works though too. True. There's that. You don't have to lie, just don't ask, don't tell. Um, but anyway, all right, Taco. See, I'm sure I'm saying it incorrectly. What DM Foss gave us, but to me that looks like taco. Um, but you know, we'll chat again. Sashimi I'm afraid of, uh, Saria fan, because I think that's still raw, raw fish, right? Or no? Do you know, DJ? Sashimi?
Are we on sushi or sashimi?
Sashimi. Let's again If I look at it, forget about it. But yeah, that's the raw fish, yeah?
Sashimi, you're dragging that through a broth?
Okay. I know nothing. All right, so with that, abalone and snails too. Now I'm craving sushi. All right, that's it, I'm done. I am toast. We went out over the 30 minutes even. I'm gonna have to stop telling people, yeah, I try to get on for 10 or 15 minutes, but y'all are so chatty and talkative, and I appreciate all of that. When DJ and I— DJ, what was it, a year or two ago? DJ said, what are my goals for this show? I'm like, I'm gonna be happy with double digits, because for the first couple years I'd get 5 or 6 people in here. And this evening, according to the almighty, um, StreamYard, it says there's 18 of y'all watching, so I appreciate that. And I don't know, that's what I got. Mr. DJ, are you ready? Are you prepared to take us out tonight?
I am. Tonight we were joined by G23 Patriot in the Dark, Krabby Turtle Gun Websites was out though, so sorry about that. 93 Chasing Ghosts, how you doing? Gizzard Gary's out there, so is Hillbilly Upwoods, the man of the Great Pacific Northwest, coming to join us tonight. Mike Ballinger also out there. Jamie JH586, thanks being around. Abigail Sorcha Finnegan covering all bases. We got DM Foss out there. Viejo, good to have you in, man. But the Triclops Ballistics, it's been a minute, man. You need to bring it, bring it back next week. And a friend, bring a friend as well. Everybody do that, would you please? Chris Brancato was out there, so was Mark Thomas and Guns and Barbecue, uh, coming in a little bit late but representing the squirrel early. We had him covered. Thanks for joining them tonight, everybody. Uh, please like and share this out before you leave for the evening. Um, wait a couple of seconds, refresh, and leave a comment too. We had a great crowd out there tonight, and it's Bring a Friend Saturday next Saturday. It's every Saturday. But until we see everybody then, be safe, have fun, take care of yourself and your crew, and rock!
