In real seriousness, that you guys have the ability with your platform and with your audience and with your attitude, like no bullshit, you know, we're just talking like real guys.
You guys can change the way men look at mental health more than any platform out there.
You know, thanks for all that.
It's funny how it just fell into my lap.
I mean, I battled anxiety all my life, depression, really severe depression to the point where I understood why people take their own lives.
It just kind of happened like out of nowhere because...
We were doing a show.
Stefan Richer was a guest on Off the Record, and I had read that he battled depression throughout his career.
So I thought that would make an interesting question.
I'd never spoken about it at all.
Never a single word.
I just figured what difference would it make?
And people would just think, oh, yeah, Lansford, he knows a lot of people don't like him, so he wants us to feel sorry for him.
So I never mentioned it.
So I said to Stefan, step out of the green room for a second, if you would.
I'd never met him before.
I said, would it be okay if I asked you about depression?
And he said, it's painful.
I don't like to talk about it.
So I said to him, would it help if I talked about it?
