Welcome guys and gals, the Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Beaton. And today I'm going to talk about the

importance of the loss of Anthony Bourdain. Now, I know that this has been seen everywhere.

I know that a lot of people have been really impacted by this and shocked. The day that the news came

out, I probably had a dozen or so people reach out to me

and just really expressed their loss and disbelief about what was happening.

And last night as I walked through the streets of New York, I walked past his restaurant,

Les Alas, and it was really interesting because the walls, the entire walls in the front of it,

both of his restaurants in the financial district and on Park Ave are both closed.

And the entire front of the building is just covered in notes saying, you know,

thank you and expressing their gratitude towards him. And so a lot of people have

really taken this loss hard. And for so many people, they're, you know, they're saying,

I'm not too sure why I'm so impacted by this, but I really am affected and I'm not too sure why.

And so I wanted to address this because there is a really important message behind the

loss of Anthony Bourdain. And I think that when we look at things like mental health,

when we look at depression, when we look at, you know, people that are struggling, we don't

often think about people like Anthony Bourdain. We don't often look at these people who sort of have it all.

You know, Anthony Bourdain was a man that from the outside really looked like he had it all.

He traveled, great food, lived this, you know, rock star celebrity chef life, successful businessmen,

successful celebrity talk shows, like the whole thing.

Maybe he struggled here and there's relationships, but it really points to how on the outside,

people can look okay.

You know, people in your life can look okay.
