Welcome. My name is Brandt. Producer Sherry is here, too.

If you're new to the show, it will take some getting used to. We fully acknowledge that.

Some people get it right off the bat.

They tend to have an odd sense of humor. And they understand dry humor or oddball or Monty Python or that kind of stuff. Or just overall having kind of goofy friends. They have goofy

friends. They're used to it. If you're not, this may take a little while, but please work through

it. We've had ample stories of people saying,

I worked through it. I hated you. And I stuck with it. And I'm at peace with this.

That's the story of all friendships, isn't it? Still don't get you, but you know what? All right.

Okay, guys. Yeah, so you can get there too.

People feel anxious about a lot of stuff. Maybe you do too. Michelle's on Twitter. She's like, I listen to you guys. Yeah, so you can get there too. People feel anxious about a lot of stuff.

Maybe you do too.

Michelle's on Twitter.

She's like, I listened to you guys for a long time.

I feel very anxious and have for the last few months.

And I wondered if you could talk about that because, and we so appreciate this honesty,

by the way, Michelle.

She said, I've been reading the Bible, you know, to help me with it, and it doesn't seem to be helping me that much. I'm like reading and it's not fixing it.

So, yeah, that's a great question. A lot of people struggle with that. A lot of people.

Totally. And then you can berate yourself because you feel anxious. I'm not supposed to. I'm doing I'm doing the right stuff I'm doing the steps like Bob says and what about Bob

like I'm doing the work what is the deal why do I still feel this way totally fair we can't fix it
