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.

[@ivy7417]

@mana256k you'd think so, but most conservatives are so fucking stupid that they apparently don't. Yknow, because they're anti union.

[@alastryona]

I can understand/help! My grandad is anti union and he had my mom under that for a while, with the reasoning being mostly "they take your money and keep the company from firing people that should be fired." It's an uninformed, and for him I'd even say malicious, view of workers rights. (My mom is now pro union, and my grandad still sucks)

[@mr.dr0bot731]

Your dad sounds like he needs a bullet.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Liex59]

My grampa started his own construction business after immigrating here from Mexico and he is vehemently anti union so that sentiment was just kinda drilled into my dad and uncles heads and by extension mine. Like I get that they exist for a positive reason but the ones around here at least are pretty shitty to everybody that's relatively new at the union

[@kells4315]

I find it’s a lot of people who say “you have to pay for it and it does nothing” because they have no idea what the union is doing and has been doing. They just legit do not know that the job security or benefits they have are BECAUSE of the union. They assume it would be there regardless

[@TinyGhosty]

"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!

[@SleepyMedia]

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."

[@liriodendronlasianthus]

Same here. Lithium has been a game changer for me.

[@reckless_herb]

omg and when that is coming from your family who does also experience it so it cements that it’s true

[@AsteroSloth]

I have to blame whoever called that shih lithium. Like I’ve no clue what I’m saying here but I’m gonna guess that the normal reaction to lithium is being like “well that doesn’t sounds like something that should be coming into my body tf”

[@hanamachii_]

​@AstronautSluthImeanSloth It's because it's literally the same thing they use in batteries, on the periodic table. Unfortunately they couldn't NOT call it lithium, since the medication genuinely uses that metal. 😅

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 🥲

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 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 😉💤

[@rainbowsoffire]

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

[@juliar6647]

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.

[@badger6882]

I really do think you have a point here. So much of my body and well-being ends up being influenced by my menstrual cycle. It’s niche and strange, but I’ve had hella spiritual experiences at certain times in the month and it’s kind of surreal to know it’s just because of hormone levels and baseline biological shifts. not really talked about really how people react to different medication, too.

[@juliar6647]

@badger6882 thank you for sharing your experience! It's crazy how little research there is on different conditions in relation to menstruation. There is some, don't get me wrong, but It's considered a fresh field of studies which is insane considering menstruation is nothing new lmao

[@Julia-gl7zu]

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

[@martinthemarine920]

i mean, they *are* the working class. maybe a little more well off than some others (which is not a bad thing) but certainly working class

[@kdc6002]

wait wdym, i thought working class is synonymous with lower/poor class?

[@slippinndippin1421]

@@kdc6002 generally yeah, but when you’re comparing yourself to people at the top we’re all fucking poor. we need unity with everyone below the truly rich to really make some change

[@zimbu_]

Depending on the definition working/middle class is often more about education and the type of job a person has, so working class people aren't necessarily poor. A welder is a tradesperson who derives their income from wage labour, so they're working class by most definitions, but an underwater welder working for an oil company can have a six digit income. These are definitions that keep changing with time and the political aims of whoever is doing the defining, for example originally "upper class" just meant "royalty and nobility".

[@earthavi]

@@kdc6002Like the previous responses pointed out, defining working class really depends on your views on labor, economic status, and the relationship between those two. For example, I primarily subscribe to the Marxian theory that there are two primary economic classes: the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production and buy others’ labor power, and the proletariat, who sell their labor power

I've had a crush on Demi since Gilmore Guys. Now hearing him talking about workers rights? 🥵 And about being a creative with a formula/math brain? 🥵🥵 (Also, nothing has convinced me I should get therapy more than how hard I related to "I just lose friends after 5 years". Yikes, it me. Yikes.)

[@irock123ab]

Did you see him dancing on a car after the election 🥵 that's when he got me

[@AsteroSloth]

Is losing friends after 5 years yk… not normal? I feel like 5 years is a normal time stamp for life changing situations that take people far from us or even ourselves from them. My best friend was only my best friend from kindergarten until 10th grade when he changed schools for the first time so idk makes sense to me lmao

[@Grace-ur4ml]

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.

[@meredithpaparone3969]

honestly, demi talking about falling asleep in the room made me realize I might truly have narcolepsy, I’ve always felt like I must just be lazy or low energy.

[@sourpatchkids351]

same! i literally failed so many of my final exams (not like i was going to get my ib diploma anyway but it still sucked ahaha) because no matter how much sleep i got, i was always EXHAUSTED and couldn’t manage to stay awake. i love taking tests and even when it came to my absolute favorite class of all time, i fell asleep within ten minutes! (it was even worse when i started college and couldn’t even stay awake during class, let alone wake up in order to get there.) all of my friends made fun of me for it but now i’m starting to think this isn’t just a normal low energy thing

[@bow_and_aero1210]

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.

[@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.

The Sad Boyz podcast is continuously fantastic for my mental well-being, and I am immensely appreciative of what you guys do!

[@SHINeegirl501]

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)

[@joshuazeeman7553]

Hey Jarvis, sleep apnea related to mouth breathing is when your throat stops you from breathing while you're asleep for extended durations. Not enough to kill you (although it can) but it's depriving your brain of oxygen repeatedly overnight. Look into getting a CPAP! I have a deviated septum and it helped immensely with both fatigue and even grinding my teeth. Sleep study is great too

[@ATTACKofthe6STRINGS]

Bro, the “language barrier” bit. There was a storm that blew through FL that knocked a bunch of fencing down around the neighborhood. I saw my neighbor putting up some fencing, so I went to help. Russian. Spoke maybe 3 English words. I, bilingual, and neither blessed with the Russian language, spoke maybe 1. He pulled out his phone and google translated something to the tune of “just follow me”, and we basically point-spoke to each other for, I’d say, an hour or two, putting up the fencing he’d lost on the part of the property adjacent to mine. Finished up, we thanked each other, and the fence has been decent enough since. Let me tell you, those first few minutes of trying to get each other up to speed on how we were going to communicate? Genuine mini-sitcom. Not over-the-top-haha funny, but just that mundane futzing you can’t help but chuckle at.

[@randomtangle4629]

I was listening to this on Apple Podcasts but I had to come here to comment once you started talking about narcolepsy. I’m 24, and since high school I’ve been falling asleep when I definitely shouldn’t be. In class, in the movie theatre, sometimes standing up… I’m a dancer so I see a lot of live performances and feel AWFUL because I fall asleep during these beautiful shows but I just can’t help it. I’ve always attributed it to different things, and kinda joked that it could be narcolepsy. I only seriously started considering it a few months ago, but I always gaslight myself into thinking it’s not “bad enough” to pursue. Hearing your experience was so validating and empowering. You probably won’t see this but thank you so much for sharing 🙏

[@heojune-shim]

i watched this a bit ago but wanted to come back to comment this: hearing Demi's experience with narcolepsy made me horrified because it mirrored my own experiences so much, so i was looking into any sleep tests i could find- but i was also really lucky to already have an ADHD appointment on the horizon. after my appt (not surprised- definitely have ADHD) and after getting on medication i have noticed a scary huge reduction in my unavoidable dozing off at my desk at work/inability to stay awake at times no matter how much sleep i've gotten. still need to do a sleep test, but symptoms are helped now! thank you SO much for this vid, the guests you guys have, and your channel. if not for this, i wouldn't have known that i might also have narcolepsy (which i now suspect is probably caused by my chronic illness) thank you thank you!

I don't know how much I can say, but in the states there is so much struggle in the medical system. I'm glad to hear at least in the UK folks are trying. I cried at work yesterday and I only do office stuff. Hospitals are over working nurses then laying them off! And it is genuinely criminal how low doctors in training are paid. Even well paid doctors have talked about taking pay cuts so they can retain more staff but the hospital systems won't allow it. And there is more issues with quality care and safety. Everyone is genuinely upset and trying to make it better, but its hard when there is just so much weight. Thats why we need unions, we can be strong for each other.

this podcast continues to be painfully relatable when it comes to living with physical health conditions hh i have narcolepsy/hypersomnia .. it is textbook narcolepsy, but i have 'too many health problems to have narcolepsy; it's narcolepsy when you have a vanilla health record' and it's one of my most disabling conditions !! constant fatigue, sleepiness, sleep-drunkenness/sleep inertia, brain fog, etc. is so hard to manage. and omg i describe that sleep study as narcoleptic torture .. i was literally walking around in circles in my room watching the time go by so slowly and being so goddamn tired, and then they let you sleep and it's heavenly .. for like 20 minutes and you have to do it all again ... great study for results and diagnoses, but felt a bit hellish :p

[@lordknightalex]

ayyyy narcolepsy gang!!!!! i was only able to get my sleep study and diagnosis after graduating and its fucking wild how i spent so much of my early 20s like "haha yeah being always sleepy and almost falling asleep while standing up is just a silly little character quirk teehee ;P" like. why did it take until i was physically unable to stay awake long enough to properly work on my thesis to be like oh maybe something is wrong like pathologically 💀

[@kenzie4217]

Hey at least be thankful you can take medications safely.. Im pretty damn sure i have ADHD, but cant use any of these medications because I'm also an addict on top of that. And like i feel like society kinda leaves people like me in the dust. Like i cant take adderall or vyvanse or ritalin. So now society's not gonna give me any alternative. and everyone seems to either have an opinion of "oh you have adhd so it's totally ok for you to take adderall" or they have the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. Neither of which is even remotely helpful to me. Sorry if this seems like a rant. But nobody ever talks about the issue of addicts not getting the help they need for coexisting disorders

[@kenzie4217]

This obviously applies even moreso to pain patients who cant take pain meds because of a prior addiction. Theyre just kinda left to suffer

[@user-su7cv9gz7p]

Reading this made me incredibly sad. They shouldn’t be able to tell you no to getting medicated when you’re diagnosed with it. They could easily just do random checks on you to make sure you’re not using it to relapse. I’m so sorry and I can’t even become close to knowing how much you must suffer every day. Life is already hard enough.

[@henotic.essence]

I'm terribly sorry to see you in this predicament. You want to get better and want to do the work, but there are barriers to care 🥺 I hope you can get access to therapy, someone who knows a lot about ADHD to help you live as best you can even if you don't have the meds 🙏❤️ praying for you, keep strong!

[@aprilg4116]

Been a fan of demi since episode 1 of gilmore guys. So excited to see this collab! Also I have extemely unrefreshing sleep. I had a sleep study but it was normal which doesn't make any sense to me. I have severe hypersomnia and always feel incredibly tired yet wired. Feels like I haven't slept in 4 years 💀

Jordan you are 100% right!! Winter in LA is colder (indoors) because we don't have heating/insulation like houses in colder locales.

"why is Ryan Reynolds in this video" not the Sean roast lmaoooo

[@sebastianissocool]

WOW I am so stoked about Mr. Electrolemon himself!!!

[@the_Sarahnator]

Jarvis mentioning John Green: worlds colliding. I also have watched VlogBrothers for almost as long as they've been on KZbin!

[@PatrickBC]

Demi is a original sad boi for me. So fucking nice and wholesome to see him here with you guys. Love you, boyz!

[@EskiDl2]

great episode as always :)

[@shaihulud2977]

Forever my Gilmore Guy, so happy to see Demi whenever he pops up on my YT feed

[@SarahOConnor-vi3ue]

I think most people want LONGER videos but maybe im just biased. a 30-40 minute Jarvis video would be great!

I have narcolepsy and central sleep apnea. Had the exact same experience with my first sleep study (hit REM within 4 seconds with each nap) and the adderall shortage has made life hell. Currently taking provigil (again) but it doesn’t work nearly as well.

[@anngelcore]

y’all talking about it being rainy in LA meanwhile canada just had the warmest shortest winter ever; the climate rlly do be changing and it’s terrifying!!

[@briannadefalco5363]

Thank you sad boys for reminding me to take my meds even though it's my day off

[@zshinabargar]

Jordan is trying hsi best

[@shigekax]

This episode is so much more than baby gru, you're underselling it !!

[@prettyinpink1222]

OMGGGG DEMI. I haven’t seen him in a MINUTEEE ❤

[@JLynn72788]

I feel like having Jarvis as a best friend would be so great.

[@looney1023]

[@potisive]

flood insurance is always separate coverage you have to purchase.

1:05:32 i’ve gotten to the point where i take my vyvanse every day because otherwise i feel like shit and can’t get anything done. my doctor definitely means well but she’s always encouraging me to take days off (which she hilariously calls “drug holidays”) and it’s like. idk man like i GET it but my ADHD doesn’t just disappear on the weekends?? like, there are things i want to do that may not be “”important”” or “”necessary”” that i really struggle to do without my meds, and it sucks that ADHD is so often viewed as a barrier to being a productive worker/student and nothing else. man sometimes i want to take my meds and spend the day hyper focused on stardew valley because it makes the serotonin go vroom in my brain!!

[@jaleighadunlap8791]

great to meet my brother in narcolepsy, the sleep study for narcolepsy was an absolute nightmare

[@jestyr5979]

the entire west coast has had very weird weather for a year, not just california

[@ML-db8zg]

I feel really bad for any creative team on a project, because they're the first to get blame if something is "bad" (subjective), usually ignored, and crunched the most. Once big execs switch to a content mindset they shouldn't be allowed to run/oversee projects. You cannot account for creativity within financial constraints

They need to stop looking at isolated data so hard. Sometimes when I click off a youtube video it has nothing to do with how engaging it is, sometimes I get interrupted. Sometimes I have to poop

[@keyareuh_]

i did a sleep study to see if i had some sleep issue but i literally got like no sleep bc they had to constantly wake me up to fix the wires n stuff so i have no clue how it was accurate lol

[@mari98_]

i think a hard part with vfx unionization is that’s it seem as more tech adjacent than creatives adjacent, and the stem/tech field in their education curriculums often feel above and more “logical” for not engaging in fields like sociology or history, which begins people on a slippery slop in their education and careers thinking they don’t have to engage with ethical and social dilemmas that directly affect them which makes them more susceptible to union busting rhetorics

[@mmilcz833]

I feel like the best response that the bagel guy could’ve had was to do a TikTok saying something along the lines of “haha, you fell for my ploy! I wanted to promote a great restaurant because of the great bagel I had! Now they will be more popular than they ever could’ve before!” regardless of whether that actually was his intention or not. He could play it off as a joke by doing a silly voice or something. Not saying that what he did warranted any harassment of course, just that this would be such a fun way to end the situation.
