Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we like to do the opposite of what Big Wireless does. They charge you a lot, we charge you a little. So naturally, when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you. That's right, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month.
Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. $45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes. See details.
I talked about that in my book. You know, call me chef, damn it. And I said, man, I was so mad at her for giving me that because my dad was just hard. You know, I wish I could just be that hard person. But my mom was like, treat everybody the same. Treat everybody the same. She was bringing the homeless, you know, and feed them. We were little kids. And like, why is she bringing them?
We don't have enough food as it is. You know, why is she bringing them in? All right, guys, we got Chef Rush here today. He's in town for Shaw Show, man. Thanks for coming on. Yep, yep. Love Shaw Show. Yeah, how was it? It was my first one, actually.
Was it really? Yeah. You're a virgin. I'm a virgin. No, Shaw Show was amazing. I've been there a few years. They showed so much love. Me being in the military, doing what I do with the veterans, with the suicide awareness, with the mental health.
So it was just like the whole time I've been there, I don't even remember because I took like a thousand, 10,000 pictures and hugged people and cried with people and just amazing, man. 2222. I don't know weekends though. Okay. Yeah. That's impressive, man. Do you just bang them out as soon as you get up or you space them out throughout the day?
Space them out throughout the day doesn't work for me. That's too much time. They're too busy. I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning. I'll bang them out all at once. Get them an hour and a half. I'm good. 125 at a time. I think it was 1776. So everything has a meaning, rhyme, or reason. It's not a workout. It's about mental health. 22 vets unfortunately commit suicide a day.
And I do the rest just because of their families. The kids and the families who are unrecognized. Yeah. Yeah, mental health hits deep for me, man. I struggled with it. My father lost his life to it. So it definitely hits deep. Yeah, man. So shout out to you for doing that. That's incredible.
Yeah, it goes really deep. I have a I don't know. He's been taking care of me. I've had a big, big thing with it, which things you don't know about a year ago. Unfortunately, I lost my daughter to it. and her five and six year old brother, and she was 11. And another command sergeant major and another, her stepfather. That's insane. And you yourself dealt with it, leaving the military, right?
