Michael Landsberg

He said, sure, let's do it.

I told him a bit about my story.

We went on the air.

I asked him, and he gave me this great answer.

He said, imagine a Canadian kid

Born in Montreal, drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, rookie of the year in the NHL, last Canadian to score 50 goals, Stanley Cup champion for the Montreal Canadiens.

And not one moment of that did I enjoy.

And I thought, wow, that's got to be like the definition of depression.

So he went through this and I realized because I'm hearing the count of my year, I'm almost out of time.

And I got to mention it because I promised him I would.

So I said 11 seconds worth.

All I said was, hey, Stefan, I'm sure a lot of people appreciate what you said.

I know there's one other person on this set who's experienced depression and that's me.

And that was it.

And the reaction to that was insane.

I'm like reading these emails.

I'm showing my wife and she goes, holy shit, how did that happen?

I wasn't trying to do anything good, but people heard that and they heard I wasn't ashamed or embarrassed.

Stefan wasn't ashamed or embarrassed.

We didn't sound weak.
