You are listening to The Bad Already podcast. Happy Friday. My name is Brian Hartley. I'm one of the producers on our show.

And if you missed Tuesday's episode, we're doing something a little different right now. We are doing some more bite sized episodes.

So that's why this one is so short. We're trying to get through a bunch of different topics, different conversations, and just hit a bunch of wide ranging conversations for you guys to listen to.

Today, Erwin and Aaron are going to be talking about fatigue, about the tiredness, about the lethargy that we're feeling during these times, during the all the isolations, the lockdowns, the quarantines, and how you can break out of that, how you can break that cycle.

It's a really great conversation. It's short. It's sweet. And I think you're going to love it. Hope you guys enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend. Let's jump into it.

You were listening to The Bad Already podcast. My name is Aaron McManus, and I'm here with my dad.

And I'm Erwin McManus, so we're going to do a little appetizer. It's not going to be a full meal.

This is not a full meal. This is snacks. All right. Or derives. Market snacks. Market snacks.

This is Taco Tuesday roasted. They're done. They're part of that Robin Hood, that Robert and Hood cult.

You missed that. I said this is Taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday. This is baby battle ready. This is the mini, this is the mini version.

So what are we going to talk about? What are we going to talk about? I don't know. We just got here. We just got here. Small things. What can we talk about?

I think I know what I want to talk about. And I know we weigh too much, you know, invested in conversations about COVID and quarantine and everything like that.

Oh, no. When we were in New York for those three days, and I turned on news, and I was amazed. There was probably more conversation about apathy, lethargy, exhaustion, fatigue than there was COVID.

And they would actually talk about as if it was just expected everyday culture. Hey, I know you're dealing with coach fatigue or you're dealing with, you know, what's that syndrome? They talk about that that kind of began with yuppies.

Yuppies? Yeah, yeah. Were your exhausted chronic fatigue syndrome? That's it. Chronic fatigue syndrome.

Yuppie. Yuppie. Sorry. That's that's language before your time. It's like people who smoke weed all the time. No, Yuppie is very young, urban professionals young, young people.

Well, now they're old. Now they're my age. But there was there was kind of an explosion. What was called chronic fatigue syndrome. Okay, you just you're getting out of that one. Okay, chronic fatigue syndrome.

And the reason I wanted to talk about this is that what can happen is that you can almost move into a psychological frequency where you're used to not doing anything and used to not do anything.

And at first you want to do something. But after a while, your psychological makeup adjusts to the paralysis. It adjusts to the slow pace. It adjusts to the lethargy.

And I think that we need a shot right now of it's time to get up and do something. And what you think is sick is actually just you being psychologically exhausted.

So I think a lot of people feel sick. They feel like they have the flu. They feel like they have a cold. They feel like they have COVID. They feel like they have something but actually what's going on is that their body has has actually reduced itself to such a low level of energy.

That getting up and doing something is exhausting and almost debilitating.
