Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack podcast. I'm Jerry D.Sex. I'm here with my good friend and close Nick. Nick, how you doing, bud?

I'm doing okay. I'm doing fine. How are you doing? I'm okay. I'm okay. I took the weekend off. I had talked a little bit about like taking care of mental health during this time period and how I was

going to institute these moments where like Trump and the administration and the right wing

couldn't get to me like moments for me and I did that and it helped and then I got back to work

this morning and I was like oh shit it didn't stop and I got to learn that sort of back and forth if that makes sense yeah I think I subconsciously did the same. It didn't stop. And I got to learn that sort of back and forth, if that makes sense.

Yeah. I think I subconsciously did the same thing. We didn't do anything. I just pretty much sat on the

couch all weekend long to kind of disconnect, which is sometimes detrimental, right? I think the community

and the energy you can share with others and friends is important. And it can give you that recharge.

But yeah, don't forget, whatever that it can give you that recharge. But yeah,

don't forget, whatever that recharge you get in that couple days can get depleted pretty quickly

again with what we're dealing with. So it's important to have it. So you don't go wait too much

on the negative side. Yeah. So as we enter like the second week of Trump being back in the presidency

in this onslaught, like I think what I'm learning from this morning is I need to remind myself to have those

moments to replenish, find the joy, and then I need to maybe sort of ease my way back into it,

if that makes sense.

I'm not sure there's a way to ease back into anything Trump.

That's by design.

I mean, there's that it makes it really really awful um we have a whole lot to talk about today obviously um but a reminder go to patreon.com slash

my Greg podcast uh become a patron it gets you not only access to the weekend or show which by the way

like the news never

ends now. So these are going to be jam-packed shows nearly every single episode. It also

supports the show, keeps us editorially independent, which is important more than ever before.
