- 0:00Speaker 1: I was.
- 0:00Speaker 2: I was watching ste Van Jones says something I had
- 0:07Speaker 2: to agree with.
- 0:08Speaker 1: What why, you know, I was so shocked to hear this.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Van Jones said something I had to agree with. He
- 0:13Speaker 2: said that it's difficult to talk about where the violence
- 0:19Speaker 2: and steming from when you pardon January sixth, who perpetrated violence,
- 0:23Speaker 2: when you tried to vacate the sendate of the sentences
- 0:26Speaker 2: of the Oathkeepers and the Proud Boys who were who
- 0:30Speaker 2: were violated trying to overthrow the government. And if you
- 0:34Speaker 2: if you support the oathkeeper keepers and you an elected officials,
- 0:39Speaker 2: you already violated Joe, because you're supposed to take protect
- 0:41Speaker 2: the country from enemies foreign and domestic.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And.
- 0:47Speaker 3: There's no question that they're criminals because just about all
- 0:49Speaker 3: of the ones that he parted and went back to
- 0:51Speaker 3: jail got rearrested.
- 0:53Speaker 2: They were they had the most serious violent charges.
- 0:56Speaker 1: So he's not just letting them go.
- 0:58Speaker 2: There were some people obviously that were just you know, trespassing,
- 1:02Speaker 2: you know, but these people were the most violent. They
- 1:04Speaker 2: were the worst of the worst, and that's why he
- 1:07Speaker 2: didn't pardon them. He's vacating their senses. So there's a difference.
- 1:11Speaker 2: So I think that that it says a lot about
- 1:16Speaker 2: who foments vile you. You made jokes about a husband,
- 1:19Speaker 2: a eighty seven year old man getting beat with a
- 1:21Speaker 2: tyrannt man in the head. You made jokes about Rob Reiner.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 1:26Speaker 2: And incidentally, I could I could never imagine killing my mother.
- 1:31Speaker 2: I know she could imagine killing me though. I know
- 1:32Speaker 2: that's what she took. A couple ted, but and you know,
- 1:37Speaker 2: adding insult to injury. Not only did they murder their pay,
- 1:41Speaker 2: did he murder his parents? And hainus fashion. He's trying
- 1:44Speaker 2: to use their money to defend himself. You better, man,
- 1:46Speaker 2: I wish you would.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Well. He said something like he feels like he got
- 1:50Speaker 1: the short end of the stick.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I'm like, nobody didn't get the end of it. Shut up,
- 1:54Speaker 3: I tell what he said. He's like, I lost everything.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and no, they really lost everything exactly, they really
- 2:01Speaker 2: lost everything. Oh, man, how you're gonna be a mass
- 2:04Speaker 2: murderer Anfield?
- 2:05Speaker 1: You killed your.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Mama, Man, your mama and your dad. There's not many
- 2:09Speaker 2: places you can go after that. I don't feel sorry
- 2:11Speaker 2: for you at all.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Well, there's one place you can go.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Wat Yeah, he was hearing voice. But one of them
- 2:18Speaker 2: should have told you to sit down. It is it's weird.
- 2:23Speaker 2: People are doing weird stuff and they just revel in,
- 2:28Speaker 2: Like did you see Sean Hannity talking about violent rhetoric?
- 2:31Speaker 2: Did you just leave Catholicism because you said the Pope
- 2:35Speaker 2: said with The Pope got into a Twitter beef with
- 2:38Speaker 2: the President of the United States of America for saying,
- 2:40Speaker 2: blessed are the peacekeepers peacemakers right, blessed are the peacemakers right?
- 2:45Speaker 2: He was against the war and Sean Handy was so
- 2:48Speaker 2: incense he left Catholicism.
- 2:51Speaker 1: JD.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Vance, who was supposed to be a Catholic, told the
- 2:53Speaker 2: priests that the Pope to stay with matters, that the
- 2:56Speaker 2: Pope is supposed to be involved in my What's more,
- 2:59Speaker 2: intech go to the Pope's duties then deciding how precious
- 3:03Speaker 2: life is, a weighing on on the on the on
- 3:06Speaker 2: the sanctity of life. So these people, their religious beliefs
- 3:11Speaker 2: are hilarious to me until they're tested, and then all
- 3:13Speaker 2: of a sudden they don't matter. Pete Heximan has got
- 3:15Speaker 2: the cross of a of a of a white Natalists
- 3:18Speaker 2: on his hip.
- 3:19Speaker 1: He's a he's a mess.
- 3:21Speaker 2: And you know, whenever a white person tell me how
- 3:23Speaker 2: much they love Jesus, I know instantly they hate it.
- 3:25Speaker 1: At the same time.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
- 3:35Speaker 3: So, as you know, May is mental health awareness month.
- 3:39Speaker 3: So I'm happy to have on the phone today Chris Matthews,
- 3:41Speaker 3: who is a mental health expert. Hey, Chris, Hey, how
- 3:45Speaker 3: you doing. I'm doing pretty good. What about yourself?
- 3:48Speaker 4: I'm doing spectacular. Thanks for having me.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Oh no, thank you for being here. I think this
- 3:52Speaker 3: is such a great conversation to have. I know that
- 3:54Speaker 3: you are a licensed marriage and family therapist along with
- 3:57Speaker 3: you know you deal with addiction and and other things.
- 4:01Speaker 3: I know you've written a ton of books, you have
- 4:03Speaker 3: online courses all of that, And really, what I want
- 4:06Speaker 3: to get down to, the nitty gritty, is what is
- 4:08Speaker 3: going on in our relationships today. I know a lot
- 4:12Speaker 3: of times we come into relationships individually with some type
- 4:16Speaker 3: of baggage and then we connect with other people and
- 4:19Speaker 3: now we have excess baggage. But what specifically is going
- 4:22Speaker 3: on with us today? Because I think there's been like
- 4:24Speaker 3: a seismic shift in our relationship status.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Yeah, so a lot of what's going on, and people
- 4:30Speaker 4: are afraid to be alone, and there's a lack of
- 4:33Speaker 4: self love. And that's a lot of what I'm doing
- 4:36Speaker 4: counseling making sure that you have two partners who love themselves.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Relationships are a hundred and a hundred. You bring all
- 4:43Speaker 4: of you into that relationship and the partner that brings
- 4:45Speaker 4: all of them. That includes the good, the bad, and ugly.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Oh, we don't like the ugly, but I know it's necessary. Well,
- 4:53Speaker 3: let me ask you this, Chris, because I think a
- 4:54Speaker 3: lot of times you may not know that you have
- 4:58Speaker 3: issues and I don't think they can come out, and
- 5:00Speaker 3: so you connect with someone else and maybe there's an
- 5:03Speaker 3: argument or maybe a situation that you feel is uncomfortable
- 5:06Speaker 3: for you, and then you realize you have all of
- 5:08Speaker 3: this baggage.
- 5:09Speaker 1: What do you do at that point?
- 5:10Speaker 3: And what is the telltale sign initially for yourself to know,
- 5:13Speaker 3: you know what, It might be me.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It might not be him, or it might not be her.
- 5:17Speaker 1: It might be me.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. So the telltale sign is
- 5:21Speaker 4: going to be your family and voids. We're all going
- 5:24Speaker 4: to be a combination of our past experiences, our genetics,
- 5:27Speaker 4: our DNA, and those experienceships that occurred in our family.
- 5:30Speaker 4: So what I do in counseling, even with individuals, I
- 5:34Speaker 4: make sure I go back through that lineage and we
- 5:37Speaker 4: use certain tools such as a genigram to understand where
- 5:40Speaker 4: those traumas were beyond the relationship prior to the relationship
- 5:45Speaker 4: when you were a child, and that's going to be
- 5:46Speaker 4: the origin of the group for a lot of the
- 5:48Speaker 4: issues that couples have in adulthood.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Well, now this is going to be a tough one,
- 5:52Speaker 3: so buckle up and get ready for this one. Now,
- 5:55Speaker 3: how do you find because of course we already know
- 5:58Speaker 3: there's no use of beating hors in terms of you know,
- 6:01Speaker 3: black people don't like therapy, right, We've heard that forever.
- 6:05Speaker 3: But I think now the tide is shifting. We are
- 6:07Speaker 3: starting to get help. But my question is how do
- 6:10Speaker 3: you find the person who is best suited for you
- 6:14Speaker 3: in terms of therapy, because you know everybody ain't for
- 6:17Speaker 3: everybody got you.
- 6:18Speaker 4: So you're right, the tide is shifting when you think
- 6:21Speaker 4: about just the media perception now therapy, the stigma is
- 6:24Speaker 4: falling off. The way you find a good therapist is
- 6:27Speaker 4: going to be first and foremost understanding what you want
- 6:31Speaker 4: from the therapy. So as a licensed manager of family therapist,
- 6:35Speaker 4: I'm trained to look at the systemic perspective, going beyond
- 6:39Speaker 4: just that individual and seeing everything that connect and I
- 6:42Speaker 4: would say that there are a lot of great resources
- 6:44Speaker 4: out there. Psychology today is a great resource. The other
- 6:48Speaker 4: thing you want to look at in your resources in
- 6:50Speaker 4: terms of how much money you can afford your assurance
- 6:53Speaker 4: or if you are looking at an employee assistance program,
- 6:56Speaker 4: because that's one of the big barriers for a lot
- 6:58Speaker 4: of people. It's going to be those times the time,
- 7:00Speaker 4: resource and the money and overall a good fit. When
- 7:04Speaker 4: you go into a therapist's office and you have that connection,
- 7:07Speaker 4: that alliance is going to be what really moves the
- 7:10Speaker 4: needle on change. So making sure you have that alliance
- 7:13Speaker 4: and that fit is going to be huge. And you
- 7:15Speaker 4: can do that by way of first understanding what you
- 7:18Speaker 4: want from the process.
- 7:20Speaker 3: And also I would imagine understanding what you need because
- 7:22Speaker 3: you have to go in being completely transparent and honest about.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Who you are exactly right, Well.
- 7:26Speaker 3: Chris, I appreciate you so much for giving us some
- 7:29Speaker 3: tips about mental health. Like I said, I know May
- 7:31Speaker 3: is Mental Health Awareness month, but I do believe, and
- 7:33Speaker 3: I'm sure you do too, because you do this by
- 7:35Speaker 3: trade that you know. We have these issues all year long.
- 7:38Speaker 3: They don't wait until May to pop up. They actually
- 7:41Speaker 3: come even in June and July, certainly with the summer coming.
- 7:44Speaker 3: And I don't want to talk about coming season. We'll
- 7:46Speaker 3: have that conversation later.
- 7:47Speaker 1: So thank you so much.
- 7:48Speaker 3: How can people reach out to you if they're interested
- 7:50Speaker 3: in maybe some of your online courses or your books
- 7:52Speaker 3: or anything like that, how can.
- 7:53Speaker 1: They reach you?
- 7:54Speaker 5: Yeah?

- 9:27Speaker 1: former Disney Channel star made her entrance on the social
- 9:31Speaker 1: media platform Threads. In case you didn't know what threads is,
- 9:36Speaker 1: Threads is like a group chat that escaped into the
- 9:40Speaker 1: wild and started roasting everyone. It's like Twitter after it
- 9:45Speaker 1: went to therapy, but still has all the receipts. So
- 9:50Speaker 1: when she announced herself on April thirteenth by saying I'm
- 9:54Speaker 1: new here, sin like she was entering a Sister Sister
- 9:59Speaker 1: reunion party, her reception wasn't what she expected. They were like,
- 10:06Speaker 1: we don't care if you're a celebrity. We're still gonna
- 10:09Speaker 1: side on you like you ordered something that's not on
- 10:12Speaker 1: the menu. We don't lock your kind around, or we
- 10:16Speaker 1: know you are a celebrity girl, but we don't do
- 10:20Speaker 1: vib very important bulls, you know what I mean? What
- 10:26Speaker 1: did she think was going to happen? She has to

- 10:50Speaker 1: realize she got dragged for sleeping with the enemy, Maga
- 10:54Speaker 1: by association and it makes me cry. Can you even
- 10:57Speaker 1: look at him? She pulled on the wrong thread and
- 11:00Speaker 1: her celebrity blanket fell apart. And that's why the shoes
- 11:09Speaker 1: Booty of the Week award goes too, Samara Maury Housley.
