10,000x the energy of anything I've ever done in my life before to just put my feet on the ground in the morning.

I could not PT.

I couldn't run.

And you're like, I could not fucking function.

I did function somehow to some level, but it was so terrifying.

I just have – for anyone listening who has been through – I just have such incredible respect for people who have dealt with it and have learned to get through something like that.

Depression.

Oh, yeah.

Or any – pick the title, right?

Whatever tough situation someone's in emotionally, I have such tremendous respect for them because I would have been years ago the guy who like just tighten up your boots and get to it.

It's not possible.

Like, you have to get help from people who care about you.

And you have to, like, you have to step back away from the problem set somehow and work through it, you know, step by step.

One of the most helpful things, and I feel so fortunate that I never really had, like, the chemical dependence thing.

It was easy for me to stop drinking.

It was around three years ago or so-ish.

No, no, right during.

Yeah.

And I mean, look, you and I have been friends for a while now.

Some of the things you and I have discussed and I hear you talk about publicly, they were just good reminders, you know?
