Summary

Full Auto Friday to round out the week!

A listener flew from San Diego to Kalispell to tell a woman she was his person. He laid it all out on a couch in my coffee shop. I walk through the two things that I think matter most going into a marriage — communication and patience.

A 30-year-old writes in paralyzed by fear. Lifting weights, jiu-jitsu, new restaurants, driving in cities — his brain goes straight to worst-case on everything. What is the difference between irrational and improbable, and why he needs to go talk to a professional who can help him rewire the path his thoughts are carving?

I answer a question on how to pick the right jiu-jitsu gym. My wife Leah's advice: look at the makeup of the mat. If it looks like society, you're in the right place. 

And I finally tell the story of being on the CBS reality show Hunted — union hours, wardrobe continuity, and pretending to play hide and seek in a warehouse in Bakersfield for eight hours a day.

Well, hello, everybody. What is up? It's going to be Q&A next week. Ooh, I almost lied to you. I was going to say that next week is going to be negligent discharge Friday. It might be. I'm going to record the podcast with my sister the day after

0:38.7

this comes out. For those of you who may have questions, this actually might as well kick it off

0:45.7

with this. So my sister, I've talked about this, I think, started her health care journey as a nurse.

0:51.7

She was a nurse on Camp Pendleton for quite some period of time than Then a nurse practitioner somewhere in there, I think before becoming a practitioner.

0:58.4

Emergency room nurse became the practitioner, ended up focusing quite a bit on hospice, which is end of life care.

1:06.4

And now has kind of gone to the other side of that a little bit.

1:11.4

She is working specifically, she will work with men, but she is specifically focusing on women around the age where menopause occurs. Pre-menopause, perimenopause, menopause. I don't know if there's a post-menopause. I mean, I know that that occurs. I don't know if they call it that. Whatever. It shows you exactly how much myself and most men know what we're talking about when it comes to that type of stuff with the lady parts and lady bits.

1:34.2

I realize most of the audience is probably men, but I bet you, a lot of you men, have significant others.

1:40.5

And I tell you what, I have been pretty shocked by the feedback my sister has gotten

1:45.5

when she has solicited for questions or commentary or advice from even just the social circle that I

am in. It's a crazy issue. Women for decades basically got screwed by the FDA and their black

box or black label warnings on a lot of the

hormones that have since been removed by the way. But this is after decades of women who
