0:00.0	Welcome to episode 459 with my guest Nick H. I'm Paul Gilmarton. This is the metal illness
0:09.7	happy hour. It's a place for honesty about all the battles in our heads past and present.
0:15.5	From medically diagnosed conditions past traumas, sexual dysfunction, everyday compulsive
0:23.6	negative thinking. I'm not a therapist and this is not meant to be a substitute for professional
0:29.3	metal counseling. It is meant to be a substitute for going out and bowling and just having a good
0:34.8	time and eating some finger sandwiches. Where did that come from? A couple of notes before
0:45.6	we get to the interview, actually a couple of surveys and then the interview with Nick.
0:49.9	This episode interestingly enough, when I picked it to to err this week, it didn't it wasn't even
1:00.5	intentional that when I recorded this with Nick a few months ago, this was on the heels of the last
1:08.4	rash of wildfires in California. And a lot of what we talk about is how he is a social worker

1:48.0	for free. Something also interesting I noticed recording with Nick. I don't know if it's interesting
1:56.4	as much as annoying, but there are so many planes flying overhead and I wonder if when we recorded it
2:05.0	that were those were planes that were trying to put the fires out. And then we have a nice
2:13.6	neighbor's horn going off. So enjoy that. Let's get to a couple of surveys. This is from the love
2:21.6	survey filled up by a woman who calls herself pale blue moon. She writes, I love sitting with a hot
2:26.4	cup of coffee on a fall morning bundled up under a throw on my couch inside with the room temperature
2:34.1	chilly watching the sun come up. If I could ever get up early enough to watch the sun come up,
2:42.5	I bet that is awesome. That sounds so good. I love when it's cold outside or it's raining inside
