Welcome back to The Voice of the Broken Guys. I am one of the host, Chris.

Hello, and I am Dead Eye Two Tongues.

We are having successful podcast as a new venture between two people that just recently met each other and clicked well, and this is doing the thing.

We've got a lot of positive feedback, dude. People said that you and I mesh really well together and everything flowed and felt natural, which is weird because we won't, like, winged it. The entire thing was just on a whim.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I prefer. I don't want to go into something scripted and like feel robotic

while talking. I want it to just go. Well, today should be a real test and testament to that then. Because we are, we're really winging it today.

Yeah.

So this will be the first time that we don't have an email.

You are personally going through, today's a hard day for you.

So let's talk about that first as to why and then we'll get into the thing that you

wanted me to read.

Okay.

So back in August of last year, a good buddy of mine who I would consider a brother.

You know, he actually self-deleted. He took himself out. And one of the biggest conflicts

that I have with that, I mean, not only did I lose one of my most cherished and sacred friends, but the way that

he left was to something that I'm a massive advocate for, which is, you know, like attaining

health through fungi. You know, he took a very large amount and that was the lead into, you know, that was how we lost him.

So, you know, in today's his birthday, you know, naturally, you know, I'm going to, you know, have a lot of inner turmoil and whatnot.

You know, the eye that I'm actually wearing right now is his ashes.

You know, we traveled out to Portland and it's my way of showing him the world.

Waking up today, realizing that I have a platform, you know, where I can talk about mental health,

I felt, you know, you are an absolutely amazing person to sit down and have conversations with.
