Soy Boys Episode 4: checking in with Chris and talking about asking for help.

See below for the recipe for a plant-based southwest hash:
Ingredients:

Potatoes:
1lb/450g red potatoes
2 tbsp neutral oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin (I forgot to say this, whoops)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
to taste freshly cracked pepper

Corn/Bell Peppers:
3 corn cobs, kernels removed
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 tbsp neutral oil
1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
to taste freshly ground pepper

Salsa:
3 Roma Tomatoes chopped
1 jalapeño chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
to taste kosher salt
to taste freshly ground pepper

Southwest Aioli:
3 Tbsp plant based mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp smoked paprika
to taste kosher salt
to taste freshly cracked pepper
cilantro for garnish

Method:
1. Place oven rack center and preheat to 450°F (230°C). Add the potatoes oil, spices, salt, and pepper into a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the potatoes onto a large rimed baking sheet and spread them out evenly. Transfer to oven and roast for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, add the corn, green bell pepper, oil, spices, salt, and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture out onto a large rimed baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
3. After 15 minutes, use a spatula to release any stuck potatoes from the baking sheet and shake the pan to turn. Transfer both baking sheets into the oven and roast for 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything reaches your desired level of brownness. Remove the veggies from the oven and mix them together on a single baking sheet.
4. Add roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, salt, and pepper in a bowl, stir to combine
5. Add plant based mayo, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a bowl and whisk to combine. Add more lemon juice as necessary to achieve a consistency for drizzling.
6. To serve, transfer the roasted veggies to bowls, top with fresh salsa, drizzle with southwest aioli, and garnish with cilantro.

Please keep these going, and please keep us updated on Chris. This is just an immaculate concept and execution, and I am surprisingly invested in the story behind it as well. Thanks!

My best friend and I (both in our 70s) have spent most of our lives taking care of everyone else. We never even considered asking for help. Now that we are older and alone, both of us had times that we needed help. We were always eager to help each other. But, it took awhile for either of us to accept the help. Luckily, we have both learned that it's okay to ask, knowing that help will gladly be given.

Had a similar discussion with my therapist a while back. She told me that to avoid asking my friends for help was denying them the chance to give their friendship. That nudged my perspective a lot, and I feel much better turning to others when I'm in need. That's what friendship is, after all.

I just got appendicitis and had emergency surgery during a week when my husband and I were moving apartments, and I had a big project set up at work.

I started crying at them talking about that feeling of uselessness, and not wanting to be a bother. My entire family and all my coworkers came together to help this week, and I've been feeling so guilty. Really needed this right now.

this says so much about toxic self-reliance. Thank you both for a beautiful series.

I struggle with asking for help when I need it because so much of my personality is built around trying to help others. Then I broke my leg last year and I literally needed to lean on other people for basic things like getting food, and getting to work. It was very hard, but also forced me to confront that issue, and while it's not 'solved' I definitely have made progress. Thank you for being open and talking about this struggle yourself, it's so important to have conversations like these to help normalize these struggles and help people realize they can reach out, even if it takes some work for them to get there.

About the "feeling like a burden" that actually hit me pretty hard. I always feel so bad having people help me, or not being able to help them, like "I'm just here wasting oxygen". It's maddening because I "KNOW" I can do it myself (getting out of depression in my case) so it makes me feel guilty needing help and "putting it on others".

Also, why it's hard for me to ask for help, I asked the wrong person at the wrong time and it sent me falling down past rock bottom. So a little PTSD got tossed in there.

This is so beautiful. I struggle with mental health problems and perfectionism so it can be really hard for me to ask for help. Seeing other ppl ask for help when they need it while acknowledging how hard it can be makes me feel hopeful. Especially seeing 2 men have this conversation is really meaningful bc i see the men in my family struggle and not reach out for the same reasons discussed here. I appreciate you guys and I'm so happy you're part of the channel.

Friendship is one of the most valuable things people have in their lives, but many of us realise this when it's too late or never at all. Take care of your real friends, they are your second family❤️

Who knew a 5 minute cooking video would have my eyes water. It's so incredibly important to be able to accept help and if you cannot accept help for yourself, do it for the other person because when we refuse a gift it takes away the other person's joy of giving. So don't steal someone's joy and accept help when offered :) Great video love the series on Chris.

So, on a serious note, I'm listening to the part about feeling helpless and self-sufficiency, and as someone who's been homeless multiple times in life, and spent a lot of time panhandling, it's something I recommend everyone go out and try at least once, whether you 'need' to or not. The experience itself is eye opening.

“That’s always been my goal, to seem like I know what I’m doing when half the time I definitely don’t”. This is SO RELATABLE. I personally don’t think anybody really knows what they’re doing, we’re all just winging it 🤷🏽‍♀️
Great video ❤️

Best of luck Chris, and speedy recovery Brad
Thank you for sharing your journey with us
I used to be morbidly obese and it damaged my spine- but in 3 years, I lost all of the excess weight through calorie counting and exercise (I refuse to diet). My spine healed now and I have been maintaining my weight for 7 years so far. So, don’t give up Chris! You can do this!

I literally broke down crying at the very end. I am in graduate school far from my family and friends (still within the state) and was given the ultimatum to lose weight or keep on a dark path. I am scared and I am sad that I don't have anyone close to me, and I don't have an online presence. But Chris you hit a nerve (in a kind way), I have to ask and I have to try other ways. I am not alone in this, I just need to speak up. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Interdependence is such a crucial and beautiful part of being human, and this video did an amazing job of illustrating that. Thank you for the reminder. We all need one another 💛

This is such a great message and a perfect parallel that helped you both understand each other. I have no doubt that this video (and series) will help a lot of people. It sure helped me.
