Welcome to the ID10T Podcast number one thousand five. Hey, if you came to Wiseguys this past weekend in Salt Lake City or Zainey's the previous weekend in Nashville, I just want to say thanks.

The shows have been so much fun because I've been nudling around with a guitar on stage, which the idea terrifies me, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to do it.

And it's been really fun. I've been doing some music in the set. A lot of people don't know that I do that. I used to do that with my buddy Mike Furman.

And I kind of wanted to see if I could, but he always played all the instruments because he is a master at everything musical. And I am not.

I'm trying to get good at it, but it's been really fun. So I've been messing around with songs on stage and then also just being able to come out and say hi to people after shows and give hugs and sign pops and stuff has been really fun.

So, you know, again, never hesitate to ask to take a picture or ask me to sign something. I don't care if it's, I mean, I'll sign anything.

Doesn't even have to be anything I'm involved with. I'm just happy to do it. And I appreciate you and thank you so much for coming out in the next shows are in in the late July.

I'll be at the Addison Improv just outside of Dallas and then the following month in rally North Carolina.

So that information will be at ID10T.com along with some ID10T shirts, grab a shirt, support the podcast and then we're going to start putting some other fun pop culture stuff on there real real soon.

But now let's talk about you, the ID10T listener and the cork board events at ID10T.com. Like Justin who writes, I'm finally going through with going to school for game design currently.

I'm working with a small team of people trying to make a game for those who struggle with issues such as depression, anger, dysmorphia, etc.

I really want to be able to make a game to help those to cope with whatever they be struggling with and help others understand those who do struggle with stuff like that.

I'm currently trying my best to get the ball rolling on this project some more. So if anyone's feeling generous, you can find me Twitch, Twitch basically. The username is Phantom Flyer 09.

Any tips, donations will help me and my team. Thank you Justin. Kristen writes, I want to write in to promote something cool some of my friends are doing. They're doing a podcast where they play Dungeons and Dragons.

They take premises from famous movies and recreate them by playing D&D 5E. It's a fun thing that they are excited about. I want to let you know and maybe you can let your listeners know absolutely, Kristen. I'm so glad you're sharing this. This is a great idea.

It's called Reboots and Dragons and you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts. That sounds fantastic. So thanks to all who send in against again events at ID10T.com.

This episode is Mark Manson who wrote an amazing book called The Settle Art of Not Giving A Fuck, which has so many people have read so many people.

I see recommend online and a lot of the self help websites and subreddits. I've recommended it to people. They've recommended it back to me. It's just a really, I mean, it's not just a gimmicky title. It is a very thorough and useful book which sort of lays out, you know, where we talk a lot about it in the podcast.

But, you know, where it is a value to place your giving a fuckedness and when you just should let things go and what we have to accept about, you know, things in life.

And so it's just, it's a phenomenal book. And I was connected to him through my friend Ryan Holiday who wrote the obstacles the way and a bunch of other books that you should also read.

And Mark has a new book called Everything Is Fucked, A Book About Hope. And I had never met Mark before. We had just had some email exchanges and he was phenomenal.

He doesn't come off like a guru and he doesn't want to be a guru. He's a guy who has lived life, made mistakes, written about it and is really kind of a practical philosopher, I guess, is the best way to describe what I think that it is he does.
