The right's anti union sentiments are so bizarre. My dad is a far right conservative with abhorrent views on most things, but as a lineman he belongs to a powerful union and is very in favor of them. Even he, a man that easily buys into right wing talking points, doesnt see the logic in the common working man being anti union.

"When you initially got on your bullshit" and "When I began to be on my bullshit" are both gems I must incorporate into my life, thanks Sad Boyz!

Jordan mentioning Bipolar medication is so true. It took so long of throwing things at the wall until we tried Lithium. Was always worried about side effects but getting to my dosage I was truly like "Oh, this is how a person functions... Interesting."
Also I feel like so many of us being like "My experience with physical and mental health was a mess until I realized my experience WAS different from the norm and went to a doctor" is a result of growing up in a culture of "Everyone deals with that. Everyone get's tired shut up."

As someone who works for a water damage mitigation team it’s difficult having to explain to people that we are in fact not allowed to put anything back

Jarvis saying "There's so many little things wrong with me that I've just been ignoring my entire life, " at 1:07:50 is very relatable and I feel called out

My college apartment is a mystery of things wrong. In the past year we had; ants (twice), spiders, wasps, a detached wall that had asbestos behind it, a broken toilet at one point, a door with a dollar worth of quarters gap around the whole thing (door was replaced and then wouldn’t shut if the sun was shining on the door). And in February and March our heat went out 6 times, always on the weekend and always when it snowed, they ‘fixed it’ and we got the genuinely strangest interactions we’ve ever had because of it. I go to school in Rochester New York 💀 it would be Impressive if it wasn’t so annoying and problematic.
Edit: found out our pipes are covered in lead 🥲

i love to see you guys allying with the working class and having serious conversations about it! god bless this is what a platform should be used for thank u comrades

[juliar]

The conversation about what is an actual medical condition and what is just an event in your life is really interesting and I think as an AFAB person I could add more to this conversation because to all that confusion you have to add the fact that on a monthly basis your hormones change soo much and you might never realise something is up because you'll just assume it's because of the hormones OR you might think that something is wrong with you and then never think that it might be connected to your cycle. Also an important context is that A LOT of medical issues in AFAB women are ignored and brushed off as just "feminine health stuff" and never looked into, at least in my and my close friends' experiences here in Europe.

I HAVE NARCOLEPSY TOO (type 2, without cataplexy)! I finally got the doctors to give me a sleep study after two years of complaining of the exact things Demi described. I feel like, if they made sleep studies more common/more accessible, narcolepsy would be a lot more common. I was 23 when I got diagnosed and it's so relieving to at least KNOW what it is. Anyway I'm off to bed, I'm tired 😉💤

All DIY electrical work needs to be done when the stuff you're working on is de-energized (turned off at the breaker panel). And always keep in mind that minor mistakes with electrical work can easily cause house fires/bodily harm/property damage/death. Online home repair/improvement videos are usually great, but too often people skip vitally important safety steps. Electricity travels at the speed of light, is invisible, can travel through connecting objects, and can kill at levels far lower than what powers your home, please be careful.

I work for a union and really appreciate this conversation. Everyone needs to be more educated about labor issues. I would LOVE to see a general strike. Solidarity with all the writers striking!

I have narcolepsy! I messaged Jarvis about it a long time ago when I was diagnosed that his symptoms sounded a lot like mine. I’m really glad that he’s pursuing a sleep study.

1:11:21 My Pepere, who turned 70 yesterday!!, is one of the cool ones! He has always been extremely supportive of everything my brother or I have ever done. Him and Gram (his wife) were the only family members that automatically accepted me when I came out as trans, everyone else were/are against it and tried to make me "change my mind". Ever since I came out him and gram have taught themselves so much about the LGBTQ+ community. One of my favorite examples of this was when I got a call from Gram because she had heard the term 'non-binary' on the news and wanted to get a better understanding of what it meant. Another moment that sticks out is when Pepere called me on June 1st a few years ago to tell me that the month of June is Pride month!!! He was so excited to share this with me, which I found funny because he knew that the year prior I had gone to NYC for World Pride Parade lol. All my friends love him and Gram so much, they call him "our Pepere", a role he gladly accepted. I love him with all of my heart. So to all the people in the older generations who say they're stuck in their ways and can't possibly change now are total liars.

Demi was once one half of the greatest music podcast known to music podcast listeners, Punch Up The Jam. I miss him and Miel talking about songs together. Got me through many shitty night shifts

“With every good thing, there are like a million bad things between it”
Thank y’all for being so vulnerable. Some of us need to hear this ✊

[LordOfJonix]

I'm actually going through the same thing Demi was going through wrt falling asleep randomly/during important stuff. I am currently waiting on my sleep study to confirm narcolepsy (those symptoms sound very familiar) but glad to know it happens to other people because it can be very isolating.

43:45 This whole part of the conversation was really relieving to hear from bigger creators. I recently put out a video that was a bit different from the content I usually make and now over half my sub base came just from that video. My stress about how to continue forward with different content has just led to difficulty creating anything, but this took so much pressure off my back. The Sad Boyz podcast is continuously fantastic for my mental well-being, and I am immensely appreciative of what you guys do!

[commonlune]

Demi makes the rounds on podcasts! Loved his Off Book episodes.

[ohlookshinee]

glad to hear you guys are pursuing getting sleep studies done! really wish sleep studies were more of a standard test any time someone complains about fatigue but for some reason general physicians don't seem to think about sleep much despite it being one of the most important processes for humans to live.

also always awesome to see more narcolepsy representation, it's such a misunderstood condition so it's great to see people talk about their experiences. the good place was one of my comfort shows when i was seeking my diagnosis so it's kind of cool to know one of the writers was going though the same thing (as much as it sucks and i don't wish it on anyone haha)
