Hey, welcome to Mentally Chill. It's Kristen Carney and Stevie Ryan. Hey, Stevie. Hey, Squirrel. Hey. You know what? I was thinking on my other podcast, I have to intro it kind of in an excited voice, like, hey, welcome to ask women.

With some energy. Yeah. And this, I enjoy just being like, hey. Chill mode. It's mentally chill mode.

Because wouldn't it be so strange if I was like, hi guys, welcome to mentally chill where we're mentally ill.

Yeah. It would sound a little freaky. Well, remember when we were

trying to find an opening song, there was like, I had a little jingle and it was really happy.

It was like, did it, do-d-d-d-ding-d-d-d-d-ding. We were like, you know. That actually would almost be

funny. It would be a little ironic. It would. It would almost give it more of like a crazy vibe. But that was the problem was that it was like, hey, it's super happy. And then we're like, hey, we have a really hard time getting out of bed.

Yeah. But doesn't it seem like anyone who's overly cheery that they are just messed up? Like, to me, whenever I see someone having tons of fun, I'm like, are you having fun or are you mentally ill? Or you

pretending? Because I can't ever have that much fun. Well, you know what? Someone told me the other

day, like this really cool chick that I know. She's a friend of mine, but she's super cool.

It's me. Yeah, it's Kristen. She's like, you know what just, I don't know how to explain it. There's just those people that are just super cool and you want to be their friend and they're just cool.

They're just charismatic and there's something about them that you need to be around.

She's like that and she was saying the other day that she's so happy as she gets older because when she was younger and she would go out, she would have to pretend to be having fun.

Right.

And she wasn't really having fun.

She was actually worried if she was looking cool and looking like she was having enough fun.

So to me, when someone's a little too happy, I'm like, are you doing that on purpose?

Yeah, it's like, it's an insecurity thing. It's almost like the equivalent of a dude with a small weaner driving a Corvette. Yes.

It's like you're overcompensating.

Overcompensating, yeah.

Or why do dudes with small weaners always talk about how they have big weeners?

Like, they do do that.
