Hey, what's going on? I am Brand. Producer Sherry is here.

Admire this, Colin. I'm sick.

And I'm still here. Oh, great. Like a rock.

This is the kind of blue-collar ethic that makes this show different. I think it's the strength.

Yeah. And if at any point you

notice any mistakes or issues or have in the past just know at least the work ethic is

here work ethic is amazing we're showing up yeah I don't feel like it yeah and in fact

I'd like to blame all the mistakes on that but there have been times when you haven't

been sick but if brand was healthy you wouldn't have that. And I don't know, that's true.

I think it works.

There's got to be a name for this psychological phenomenon, but I don't know what it is. I mean, somebody can email me and let me know what it is. But the idea that whatever situation you're in now is just going to continue forever, you feel that way? whatever it is that you're stuck in, like this heartbreak you're going through right now, it's always going to be there.

Or this grieving you're going through, always going to be there.

Or that the job you have, you'll always have this job.

Or you'll always be in school.

Or you'll, like, whatever that is it's kind of extends it out

into eternity like this is where i'm stuck this is where i am like it's not true it can even be with

stuff like health like oh i'm healthy i'll always be nope nope nope um so i don't know what that phenomenon is

or what the name of it is, but there's good news,

and that is you're not stuck. And this day will pass if you're feeling down or you're going

through heartbreak or something or grief. I know it feels like this is eternal. It's not.
