Suicide Prevention Sat - Awareness
In this informal YouTube live broadcast, host Brooke Cheney opens with a stark statistic—two‑thirds of gun deaths are suicides—to frame the importance of mental‑health dialogue. Throughout the half‑hour session, Brooke, co‑host DJ, and a lively chat community discuss the habit of over‑thinking social interactions, the anxiety of possibly offending others, and the mental “hamster‑wheel” of rumination. They share personal anecdotes (e.g., a mis‑remembered comment, a truck driver’s solitary thoughts, a classroom coaster about self‑control) and emphasize practical coping tactics: rapid “Band‑Aid” apologies, active listening, humor as a defusing tool, and the value of group‑therapy‑style gatherings. The stream repeatedly underscores self‑awareness as the first step toward helping oneself and others, while also highlighting the broader context of suicide prevention, especially within the gun‑owner community. The conversation is peppered with roll‑calls, community shout‑outs, and light‑hearted banter, creating a supportive environment that normalizes mental‑health struggles and encourages viewers to address lingering worries rather than let them “rent space” in their heads.
Chapters
Hi everybody, it is Suicide Prevention Saturday. And why are we here? Because 2 out of every 3 gun deaths are suicides. And if we actually want to save lives, we need to talk about mental health and suicide prevention. Now really quick while I'm thinking of it, do y'all love that intro? I did not make that intro. Dan Foss made that intro for me. And so I don't think I say that often enough, but just so y'all know, because he's actually popped in a couple times. I know he watches the replay. So little kudos to him. Hope y'all are having a great Saturday night. And look at y'all here early. Barbecue is feisty. I mean fiesta or first, as far as first comment, first thumbs up apparently. So anyway, nice to have you Barbecue. Chasing Ghosts is now in with 6th, 6th, 1st. For those of you who are not looking at the chat over on the YouTube side, that's what she said. And I really just said that. Okay, happy Saturday. And then of course there's my favorite pink hand waving, Mr. Crabby Turtle. So, and poor Gun G Webs, his comments get deleted all the time, but I don't know what else he said other than thank you for hosting each week. So welcome in everybody. Mike over here on the West Coast. I clicked on the thing, but it didn't show up. Oh, but that wasn't the one. Oops, I didn't want that one either. Oh my goodness, awesome thunderstorms today and yesterday here in Harwington. We had a little baby tornado, not like what y'all have out there. And Saria, yeah, um, yeah, that— the little tornado. No, we're nowhere close to the tornado. I did not know there was a little tornado until my mother-in-law called me this morning, so no, we are all good. So no, we did not experience any of that. All right, who'd I miss? Saria and Gizzard Gary, your favorite foul territory kind of guy, and Mr. Mike White, 2A Advocacy, because, you know, everyone does that because it's fun, right? No, because it's lots of work. All right, Suicide Prevention Saturday, awareness of ourselves and of others. So see, notes and everything again, 2 weeks in a row. And look, I can count 2 weeks in a row. And no, I've not been drinking. So awareness of ourselves and of others. Ever get stuck saying something and worrying about what you said, only to finally say something about it and the person you thought you might have upset doesn't even recall the conversation? So just as the intro here when I said, "And that's what she said." Like, that was not what I meant to say. Well, it was, but my brain immediately went to worst-case scenario of, okay, I wasn't referencing a dirty joke, but usually when people say, "And that's what she said," that is what happens. So we make foibles all the time, and we may say or do something around someone else that we don't mean to, and our little brain starts sort of paying attention to it and realizing, oh my gosh, did I offend someone by saying, and that's what she said? And well, are they going to think less of me because I said that? And our little brain just gets stuck. And I don't mean to say our little brain— when we get stuck on one little tiny thing that we may or may not have done well or done wrong, and we just keep running over that in our head over and over again, We are not empowering ourselves. We are renting space in our head that doesn't necessarily need to be rented. So we have to be aware of our thoughts, and if we're aware of our thoughts, then we can notice stuff like this. Now, to be fair, there are plenty of people that get offended by plenty of things on a regular basis in today's society. However, you and I are not responsible for how someone else reacts to something that we did or said. If you were to say something super obnoxious to me and I thought it was super obnoxious— why does barbecue come to mind? No, I'm just kidding. Um, I would absolutely say something to you and be like, ah dude, I can't believe you said you were first when you were really first. But anyway, that— but that's what he said earlier. But the idea is that we're supposed to be adults we're supposed to be able to understand and be able to communicate effectively. So just notice if there's something running around in your head and it's about someone else or what someone else might think or something along those lines, do your best to actually just let it go because chances are you don't really have rental space in their head. They shouldn't have rental space in your head. So And that was my short version of what I'm talking about as far as being aware of ourselves and others. I just had this conversation with someone yesterday, or maybe when I was away this week. I just got back from Wisconsin and I was in West Bend, Wisconsin, had cheese curds for the first time in my life. Those were super yummy. And we were talking about this. I was at a training counselor event for USCCA., and we were just talking about how it's like, we'll say something to someone, you're like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I just said that. And you have that conversation, you've got that thing spinning around in your head like, I'm so embarrassed. I hope I didn't offend them. And then like a week goes by and you finally get the courage to go, dude, I am so sorry I said that. And their response is like, said what? I don't remember you saying anything. I don't remember you saying that. And then you're like, why did I waste all this time worrying about whether or not I said something to someone that was taken— not even remembered, much less taken wrong. So my goal for you and for me is that when things happen in life and it doesn't seem like it's quite right, just make it right as quickly as possible. Don't let it stay up here in the attic running around in circles putting, you know, driving you insane, just take care of it. Like, barbecue does not offend me often, much, hardly ever, just only sometimes. Um, but when and if he were to, which he really hasn't— I'm just giving a hard time because he likes to give me a hard time, and I usually am very gullible when he talks to me. And, um, but it was like, I would say if he'd gone too far, right? So he would never have to worry, or in my mind, he would never have to worry about me being mad or upset with him because I don't get mad or upset at Barbecue because he doesn't do anything intentionally mean or disrespectful or any of those things, and vice versa. So as I'm talking to you about him, I'm like, hmm, I hope he's okay with this. Is he okay with this? I'm sure he would say so. DJ, I'm not looking at the comments, So if barbecue's saying anything, you'll have to let me know. But, oh, look at you, you're pushing buttons now. All right, DJ, so tell me, do you have an example of one of these things happening to you where it's like you may have said or done something that like you're like, oh goodness gracious, what do they think? And then later on find out that they didn't think about it at all.
Almost daily.
Oh no, is that bad?
Well, I don't know if that's, that's so bad. I mean, I completely, well, I completely understand the point that you're making. Some of us are just that sort of sensitive or that sort of, we care that much that we overthink. And for those of us who get deep in our own head, you know, in our own thoughts on top of all that, yeah, it's daily. As a matter of fact, you mentioned barbecue, like just even today and yesterday. I was concerned about something, some things that I said. And yeah, I mean, we both know him and we know him as the person that he is behind the personality, I do believe as well. So it might be a little bit easier for us to dismiss that as being potentially offensive to him. But other folks, I don't know them as well, or I don't know that the things that I have said might not be offensive to them. And I would almost always, Brooke, rather fall on the conservative side. And see if something that I said or did or whatever was offensive. As for the ratio, I'll pass it back to you after this. As for the ratio of those things, do people really care versus the number of times that I believe they should or do? Yeah, it's not as many as I, as it, as I think it is.
But like, are you a quick rip the Band-Aid off kind of guy, or like, will you let it ruminate for days or weeks before you finally say, oh my gosh, I said this to you, I'm so sorry, and they'll be like, what? So do you get— do you rip the Band-Aid off, be like, Brooke, I offended you, did I, when I said this? I'd be like, what? Or do you like—
is that rhetorical?
Yeah, no, no, I'm asking.
Is that rhetorical? You know me, you know me well enough to know my answer for that, so I don't know if there's a setup coming. But yeah, I spend far too much time in my head.
Okay, well, okay, I mean, because like I came up with this because we had that conversation and the gentleman I was talking to, we were talking about how you know, will say something like right now. I'm like, well, I said, and that's what she said. And I'm like, well, hopefully Tara is done cooking. I didn't make her spit her rice out or whatever she's cooking for dinner tonight, because usually that comment will make people laugh. However, people can get offended by it as well. And for the most part, I like around being around people who laugh more so than get offended by things like that. But at the same time, that little hamster wheel in our brains of 'Oh, did I say the wrong thing? Is that not their thing?' And I'm like, I just wonder if any of us are free of that, right? So do you have moments at least where you're like, 'I can say whatever the heck I want and I really don't care what anybody else thinks'?
Almost every day. Okay, about the same thing. Yeah, I mean, the whole thing, like the whole D, you know, DGAF kind of thing, I mean, I might front that a lot. I do front that a lot more than is that is actual. But there are very few times, I mean, only when, and I think that for most people, only when we are swelled in the largest part of our ego and have not yet stepped out of the spotlight that we think is there, do we consider that we may have not been that at all. And I don't, I guess I don't mind admitting that I'm in that spotlight, that imaginary spotlight a lot, but I'm a different kind of dude.
So, okay. All right. Well, I mean, it is one of those things, but it's like, One of the things I've definitely found when it comes to counseling or going to, whatever you call it, getting help, right? Going to group therapy, which kind of Saturday night, Susan Prince's Saturday is kind of group therapy for at least some of us. And is that finding out you're not alone, because just having that conversation with that other instructor about having that mindset of, huh, I said this thing, I don't know how you took it, and I let it take rent in my head. And the good news is, as a public figure here in Connecticut, as someone who does politics and that sort of thing in the gun community, do I worry about what people think of me? Yes and no, from time to time. But it's when I find that there's something that I've done that I fear that I've offended others. That is when I feel like, oh, such a failure. How could I? And then I go back and find out, no, that wasn't it at all. So why do I keep telling you the same thing? Because I want you to know you're not alone. I want you to know that if you're like me, I'm sorry, but we can get through this. And if you're not like me, I'm just jealous because I want the— how did you phrase it, DJ? I don't— I DGF, right? Something like that. Yeah. So it's like, I can usually often be like that, but from time to time. So my question to all you lovely fine folks that are out here in the— sorry, I'm laughing because I finally went back and looked and I'm like, she's like, no, still frozen. Didn't hear me. That's right. You could go back and listen to the replay. Tara. Oh, like, uh, words. I can use words. Um, so anyway, missed— oh, look, Jamie just joined us. All right, DJ, you are here. Everyone was listening to you, so for the love of peanut butter and jelly, would you please give the official roll call since I know you're good at that?
I'd be happy to do that. Uh, joining us this evening: Guns and Barbecue is out there, so is Chasing Ghost, the Crabby Turtle. Thank you, Marilyn. Checking in tonight. Gun Websites is out there, so is Mike Ballinger. Sorry, Fan 93. Gizzard Gary as well. Fiona Rock is out there, so is Mike White. Mark Thomas is in the room, and Jamie JH586, our recent arrival, saying howdy folks, and he's on number 6. That's your roll call.
All right, I had to make sure I unmuted myself because, you know, I don't always want to be doing a hillbilly And for those of you who don't know, a hillbilly is when you start chatting and you're on mute, because that is what he is, one of the things he is known for, other than having a lovely smile and hystericalness to him. Yes, it is peanut butter and jelly time. So, um, having hung out with Guns of Barbecue, uh, talking to him on the phone, that sort of thing, he knows that for the most part I try my best not to swear. And, um, he does love the fact that I say peanut butter and jelly instead of other expletives that I could say. So, and, uh, and also Barbecue and I have had this conversation where he could possibly use other words other than various other explicatives that start with an F. So his new, uh, since he's met me, his new, uh, explicative is fiddlesticks. So anywho, All right. So you guys tell me, what is something that you've ever said, or have you not even know what you said, but have you ever had that experiment experience where you say something, you think about it, and then you find out that the person that you were all worried about didn't care? So say yes, I've had that experience or no, because I don't give AF. There you go. Like, I don't know why I'm having a hard time with remembering simple little letters. So have you had that experience? Have you not had that experience? If you are, like I said, totally jealous if you have not. And how do we fix that? Well, being aware. Do you have something running around? If you do, how do you let it go? Well, guess what? We do not multitask. It is not something that we do. It is a big fat lie. The best we can do is switch from one tax to the next. So by being aware of the fact that our little hamster's running around in our head, we know that we can open up the cage, let the hamster out, and let them run away. And that is kind of the goal. And that is what I have for you guys tonight. Now with that, I should actually look at the comments because I asked you all a question. Um, so moments from time to time where you've got the hamster running around, cool. And I did see your thing up here. This one? Oh yes, that one. Thank you. See, and DJ is so good because he can read my mind. And, uh, so doing stuff on computer and forgot that my girlfriend was chatting with me on Discord. Hope she doesn't think I was ignoring her. Yeah, so we can totally unintentionally like blow people off, but we're not blowing people off, but they may or may not know that we're not blowing them off. The cool thing, as far as that goes, I even tell my students, which shows I'm not a really good business person, but I'm like, if you reach out to me and email me and I'll get back to you in 24 hours, just email me again. You're not bugging me. You are helping me. So I'm sure that your girl knows that from time to time you'll get sidetracked by other things. Alrighty. And hi to Chris. How are you, sir? Where are you, sir? I don't even know what's— are you still here in Connecticut with us or did you move? I don't even know. This is the weirdest thing about— so barbecue, stop giving fiddlesticks. When I was 28, either you're going to be butthurt or not. Yeah, yeah. And this is one of the things I try to teach my kids, which is I cannot actually control how you react to anything that I do. The only thing I can do is control how I react to stuff that you do. So, um, and yet I still get self-conscious from time to time. All right, sorry, I am laughing at Chasing Ghosts. Nothing but time to think. And blow everything out of proportion. It's a job hazard of truck driver. Yeah, dude. So you're on the road all the time by yourself with you, 18 wheels, and your thoughts. That's a lot of thinking time to do for sure. And yeah, I don't even know. I love my drive time, but it's not my livelihood. So that's a whole nother animal because for me, my drive time is my exception to the rule where it's just like I get to listen to whatever music I want. At whatever volume I want with the only temperature I want. So yeah, so for Tara, it's definitely one of those things where you have to be super self-aware because A, you're driving a big rig, B, you're by yourself all the time, and you're not by yourself though because we're always up here talking to ourselves, right? That voice in your head that is your thoughts, that's you talking to yourself on a regular basis. Not that you're crazy or schizophrenic or any of those things, but it's just like, what is a thought other than you talking to yourself? So that's a lot of talking to yourself. Being self-aware will definitely help as far as just like notice and be like, oh wait, I've had that thought before. Do I like that thought? Do I not like that thought? That's kind of it. All right. Yeah, no, Chris, I did think that you had left. All right, I say—
and I went ahead and I put that up there on the screen. Sorry to miss it. Comment by Chris Marcano. We'll double back maybe. Jamie out there saying, I say things sometimes I wish I hadn't said. To me, it's important how the words from my mouth might affect how someone feels. And word choice, absolutely, Jamie. I know what you're talking about there. Sometimes I, I suffer from being a little too strict with myself. Barbecue's out there, you know, at 28 he was able to make the distinction and then turn into action whether or not he got butt hurt or, you know, de-gaffed, um, so to speak, some things in, in his existence. I really have a difficult time with that. And I'm not trying to extend this, you know, this chat, but Brooke, as I hear the things that you're suggesting, I'm like, yeah, but— and then something, another observation— yeah, but— and it's not that I'm trying to make myself so exclusive because I see that Jamie out there is having, you know, he's vibing similarly to the way that I am about stuff. So it is—
go ahead. Sorry, does that read backwards or forwards for you guys?
It's forwards for me. It says, "Some things are better left unsaid," which I generally realize right after I have said them. True enough, you know, foot-in-mouth disease.
This is legit a coaster that's in my classroom for my students to read. So they understand who they're dealing with. So it is hard. We can be very self-conscious. It is— one of my favorite speakers is Jordan Peterson. And the reason he's one of my favorite speakers is because you can tell his pauses. He is curating every word that is coming out of his mouth. There is no "and that's what she said" moments in his life, at least not that's on stage when I've seen him live and in person or on the videos that you see. And it's very hard. Most of us are listening to reply. Very few of us actually listen to listen and then think about what was said and then reply. So there's so many different ways to deal with our communication.
The way that I phrase that is, "Are you listening or are you waiting to talk?" And I borrow that line from, you know, there's a way that it's said in the movie Pulp Fiction in a scene that I've just always really liked. And I grabbed it from that moment on. And that's not something I use every day. As I've indicated, I do with some things on the daily lately. But I also want to bring up this comment from Chris that was on your screen for just a flash there. I'm saying the ghost knows the radio only drowns out a little bit of the demons. And, you know, Chris, I can relate to that, as I'm sure you are relating to Tara on that kind of thing. And sometimes the level of distraction that we need to drown those things out is more than the people around us can stand. I will go with excessively loud music, or I will have 3 things going. I'll be working a crossword puzzle, listening to a podcast, listening to some music, and watching a cartoon. If I don't have 4 to 5 layers of distraction, sometimes those demons, as Chris put them, oh, they are some powerful little bastards, aren't they? And I find at the end that even though I've distracted myself from them, some— sometimes that's enough. The distraction is enough, you know, it passes and your calm returns. Other times I got to do it until I go to bed. And some days I go to bed because I can't stand to listen to them anymore. And no, I don't believe that either, that I have multiple personalities, or there's someone else in my head kind of thing. But the somebody else in my head is often just myself. And I'm not reflecting, I'm not able to recognize enough in myself those things until either something from the outside environment indicates it to me and let it go, or continue to carry it. And I've been using an example in several other chats where I've had the opportunity to wish people well and to ask them to do something for me. And that is to listen not only to yourself, but to someone who might be reaching out to you and you're not sure that's what they're doing. That active listening thing can be really, really difficult in our busy lives. And I don't think that most of us wish to take offense so much as there are those of us like myself who are that sensitive that we do take, we think that we've offended somebody and those apologies can't come strong enough or quickly enough or often enough sometimes.
You can just be like D-Webs.
I'm sorry, I was, I was like staring off into space as I was speaking, so I'm like, I'm having— where are we? Okay, as someone who has never offended anyone, I feel for the people who have, right? There's some, there's some humor in there, and I'm glad that he has that, as is, as is Barbecue. Barbecue's tossing out something, um, you know, to help, like the way that he distracts himself with humor, the way he helps to distract others with humor. Barbecue's really, really great at that and underrated dry and often sarcastic sense of humor in G-Webs. Wow, what an underappreciated quality that that is in him. And sometimes I know that where he is, when a line falls flat, it's just like, well, gee, I got it. Because sometimes people are just looking for there to be something amusing in the middle of something so tense. And so I also think that people, when they're nervous, sometimes try to be witty. And I'm not using either of those two gentlemen as an example for this. So in transition, I find myself that kind of nervous energy comes through, and it's just like, well, I'll add this because I don't know what else to add, and it's not funny. Well, then what the hell do you do? What you were trying to disperse with your own attempt at humor now becomes something you feel even more self-conscious about. Like, how do you shed that? I can tell you how barbecue has helped me to shed that in the past. It's the equivalent of, you know, patting or slapping on the back and be just like, uh-huh. That's all he needs to do sometimes. Uh-huh. And because we know each other well enough, it's just like, oh yeah, he's catching me in one of those things where I have spun myself out. That's happened within the last 48 hours. So thanks out there, Google Barbecue.
Yeah, well, I mean, to his thing about being diagnosed with a rare brain condition, it's like tragedy often brings out clarity for so many people. I remember, uh, listening to Tony Robbins and he was just talking about how there was a lady who was going to die in 3 months, and she was the happiest, kindest person that was at the place where he was at, because she's just like, hey, I only got so much time left, so I may as well do what I can to make it better for all.
So, and here's something on your screen from Mike White.
Sorry, go ahead.
Uh, things that come out of my mouth that I meant in a different way than the person took them. Absolutely. Sometimes, you know, just that extra bit like eye contact or a context that you know is mutually affirmable sort of thing will help out with those situations. But, you know, there's Mike making that comment, Jamie's made one, I've made a couple kind of thing where it's just like, wow, when we want to balance out what others perceive as the more cavalier, like, I didn't mean for those words, I didn't mean to use those so in a cavalier manner. If you can pull somebody aside— go ahead.
This is why my husband kicks me under the chair, under the table when I say something. And I'm like, what? What did I say? I don't understand. Because yeah, we don't necessarily know how we are. Wait, and this is Barbecue's thing about recognizing what actually is in our control and what is not. And when we say something, how someone else perceives it is not in our control.
But is it in our influence? But is it within our influence? Now see, I'm not— I will— I know I'm splitting that hair, but there are so many that can be split on this. And not in an attempt to extend this, you know, or go overlong on something that you think we may have covered well enough. But yeah, how did I influence that? How might I influence that? I guess that I will only be— I will respond only for those who are far too sensitive for their own good.
I mean it. But that's just it though, is like, um, Jamie, sorry, I clicked on the wrong one. Uh, I was going for this one. Yeah, so Tara's, uh, wife kicks her under the table all the time. So it's like, I will say something that I legit do not think is offensive or rude or anything like that, but others around me think that, and I'm just like— and I legit don't know. So, um, it's good, and this is why the communication bit is so important. It's like, but the first person we have to communicate with the most is ourselves. All right, sir, do you want to do another roll call since more folks have joined us?
Yeah, most recently we've been joined by Woods. He's out there, and so is Hillbilly Up. Hillbilly has a show coming up after this one. I will remind you again before the end of the program. C&T Designs and Arms is out there. And well, I guess since we might be coming to a close, I'll go ahead and I'll run through those people who were here before and were recognized as well. Guns and Barbecue, Chasing Ghosts is out there. The Crabby Turtle Gun Websites, thanks, man. Mike Ballinger, Sariafan93, Gizzard Gary, Fiona Rock, Mike White's out there, so is Mark Thomas, Jamie JH586, Chris Broncato. We got CMT coming in as we did Hillbilly Up in Woods. I hope that there are more people out there listening. If you don't feel comfortable like dropping in, saying hey in the chat, try and leave a comment later on. Anything that can increase the chances that this broadcast is heard and share it out. When you get a chance as well. That's what I got right now.
Sorry, I was scrolling back up through the stuff because Surya fans can swear in Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian and do use euphemisms in situations where I can't swear. And saying how he's got a really bad mouth when he gets mad. I found out when I was a teenager that when I get really mad, that I, I get a British accent because when I was a little kid we lived in Britain. And, uh, so I thought that was kind of funny. Oh yeah, I appreciate that there are—
ah, sorry, I've got some appreciation for this and the recognition that's being made. Now, now Brooke, you're gonna blush a little bit. Smile though, because C&T Designs and Arms is pointing out showing 17 watching now. Okay, that's a great— that's a great crew assembled, even if they're not all commenting in the text chat. Drawing 17 to a cast like this on a Saturday night is truly wonderful.
Well, thank you all for popping in and showing up and saying hi, or not saying hi and just watching. And, uh, yeah, like, I, I'm trying to get better about telling y'all, like, thank you for showing up, because if you didn't show up, I wouldn't show up. And since this show started back in 2018, not here on YouTube but over on Facebook, it's been a lot. And, uh, I, I know that, uh, G-Webs is always such a sweetheart and saying thanks for showing up each week, which I do, and I don't think much of it. But there are times when I'm like, I don't want to do it. But because you are here, that is why I am here. So thank you all for showing up. And, uh, when DJ and I started first doing this, Guns Barbecue introduced me to DJ and G-Webs. And I think it was DJ who asked me, it's like, what do you want? What would you like to see? I'm like, I don't know, I'd like to see double digits watching. So thank you all for making my plans come true. So anyway, uh, Coop, I have no doubt that when you get mad, your sense of humor gets really rough. Uh, you watch too much of that politics stuff, dude. Uh, if anyone is here who has not been to Coop's, uh, C&T Designs, he does all sorts of watching of the crazy stuff that goes on in the gun world in the actual, courtrooms, and it's, it's pretty brutal. And, uh, let's see. COVID boss called me, woke me up, got a full ear in check. Yeah, or as far as you know, he doesn't understand you, but I suppose you'll get a job, so it's probably just fine. And Hillbilly, I did see that you said hi, and I'm just saying hi as well. And, um, What do you want to do tonight, Brooke? We'll just take over the world, Blinky. Sorry, um, I don't know. All right, so here we are. It's been our half an hour, and you know, take over the webs. Yes. Oh good, so it was that. Just, just checking. Um, Pinky and the Brain. For those of you who have not watched Pinky and the Brain, you now must go watch Pinky and the Brain so that you know what Chris and I are talking about. DJ, I'm assuming that you do know.
Yes, only because of barbecue. I mean, that, that boy's name is coming up so much. I mean, that head is like— that bald head is swelling up.
Well, I would not be here in front of all of you guys if it were not for barbecue and G-Web, so it's fair enough. Oh, absolutely. So, and then you're— you are here as my ever— a never-ending cheerleader, and the rest of you as well. But you know, I love you as my co-host. So thank you for always being here and helping me out with these things. Rock. Oh, what? I didn't hear that. What was that supposed to be?
Rock?
A little bit rock.
Okay, well, and I don't know which one he's— if I think— I would like to think that he's pointing that at me because there he made a bunch of bumpers for the, for the ANFI program, the Almost Nightly Firearms Expo program. And often, yeah, those are the roles that we were supposed to have assumed.
Am I supposed to say zoinks or zomics? I just don't— I don't even know. Oh yes, Pinky and the Brain is fun. I don't think I watched even that much of it, but it was good. Oh, there's another thing, uh, when your little hamster is going around there and it's not giving you happy things, whether it's you think someone thinks crappy of you, don't let them have rent in your head. Whether you think you've done something wrong for someone else don't let that stay in your head either. Either address it and say, hey, call that person, text that person, however you communicate with whoever that is, and get it out of your head to take care of it. Because if you did upset someone and you ask if you upset them, you have an opportunity maybe to make it right or not. They may not forgive you depending on what it was, but we're just going to go down the brain. The idea is it gets off of your shelf in your head. And regarding demons, exorcise those mother effers. There we go. Just let them go. Sprinkle them with holy water and whatever it is you need to do to get them gone. And yeah, we're just going to end here because we've got to the end of Pinky and the Brain. So Mr. DJ, play me a song. I don't know what's that line that I'm trying to think of, Mr. DJ. Is it "play me a song"? I don't even know. You know what song I'm trying to think of, yes or no?
I do, but it's not coming to me either. We'll probably have somebody out there in the text chat take care of it. And every once in a while it is nice to have somebody pick up that extra load for us and helping to remember what something might be. Tonight we were joined by Guns and Barbecue, Chasing Ghosts, Crabby Turtle, Gun Websites, Mike Ballinger— sorry if I had 93— Gizzard Gary, Fiona, Mike White, Mark Thomas, Jamie, JH586, Chris Broncato, Coop, C&T Designs and Arms, Hildily Up, and Woods with almost the last comment. That's what we got. So I hope that everybody is having a wonderful weekend. I hope that continues into the rest of it and the week ahead. Until we see everybody else again, please be safe, have fun, take care of your crew, and yourself and rock.
