  You have arrived. Welcome to the Aspy world.
• 0:04
  Here's where we talk about anything and everything ASD in
• 0:07
  an upbeat and informative way. And now here's your man on the
• 0:11
  spectrum, your autism ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:19
  What I'm getting at is that we don't actually have problems in
• 0:21
  life. We have potential towards
• 0:23
  solutions. Guys, what's going on?
• 0:25
  It's early morning here and I'm driving to an event, kind of a,
• 0:30
  not an event, more like a I'm basically going to a facility so
• 0:36
  they can film me, playing a video game and interviewing me.
• 0:39
  I don't know. Anyway, if I take long for the
• 0:42
  ride, let's go. All right.
• 0:55
  OK, guys, so I'm at the venue. Well, actually the venue's
• 0:58
  behind me here and I'm a little bit early.
• 1:00
  It's supposed to be at 10:30 and it's now 10:15 or 10:14 and
• 1:05
  supposed to be at 10:30. For all the Americans who don't
• 1:07
  know half past quarter past the likes of British terminology to
• 1:11
  discuss time. That being said, guys, I've been
• 1:13
  suffering from this like, I don't know, tightness,
• 1:16
  narcolepsy. I think like the past couple of
• 1:18
  days, like I mean like playing Minecraft with my son and I'm
• 1:21
  sitting down and I'm like, not like I don't even know I'm
• 1:24
  asleep until he's like, daddy wake up.
• 1:26
  I'm like woman out playing Minecraft the next when I get
• 1:28
  woke up with my son. So I don't know what I know
• 1:31
  what's causing it. I don't know if there's a, a
• 1:34
  bigger issue going on. I don't know.
• 1:35
  So what I've done is I've decided to not have my
• 1:39
  electrolyte drinks after workout.
• 1:41
  At least that was causing it. Sorry guys.
• 1:43
  I, I just, I look terrible because look, I've got bags and
• 1:46
  everything. It's crazy, but I had enough
• 1:47
  sleep last night. I had like, I don't know, 7
• 1:50
  hours sleep last night, maybe six hours sleep last night,
• 1:52
  which is good, right? But I still have this like
• 1:55
  bizarre, like narcotic thing. Anyway, that being said, I'm
• 1:59
  going to go and yeah, I'm going to go and check out this
• 2:02
  building. It's an old church and it's done
• 2:05
  up to be like a recording studio, like a videography
• 2:08
  studio place. It's, it's really cool.
• 2:10
  It's really cool. So I'm going to get inside
• 2:12
  there, let you guys know how it how it gets on.
• 2:15
  And yeah, I'll update you about the narcops using in a minute
• 2:17
  because on the way here on the drive, I was like, I felt really
• 2:19
  tired. I was like, I was like fighting
• 2:21
  sleep. It was crazy.
• 2:22
  So I pulled over and and I've just kind of like rested in the
• 2:26
  car, you know, so that I'm not having the same issue driving
• 2:29
  back home. So let's go on the day I spilt
• 2:34
  water on myself. OK guys, actually a little bit
• 2:43
  dark, but this is the building. It's got like tape or something
• 2:48
  like that. Tape, community music and film.
• 2:51
  So this is the building. It's like a cool, like old
• 2:53
  church. It's really like, it's really
• 2:55
  dope. And if I remember correctly, you
• 2:56
  have to go around like the other side of the building to get in.
• 2:59
  So we'll try it. Yep.
• 3:03
  Wrong place. Monkey result.
• 3:08
  Doors open and there's a black cat.
• 3:13
  Hello, pussy cat. Hello.
• 3:17
  Oh, we take a cat right? Here we go.
• 3:21
  Tape close this place. Hey, I'm here to record some
• 3:28
  stuff with Niall. Is it?
• 3:29
  It's not a good noise. Oh man, what is that?
• 3:47
  What is that? That is not a camera.
• 3:52
  That is not a camera. That's not a camera.
• 3:53
  Guys. I use a 750D, a Canon 750D when
• 3:57
  I'm filming, but right now I'm on G7X, right?
• 4:00
  This G7X, it's bad, not this car is bad, not.
• 4:05
  I've got a. Canon 850.
• 4:07
  Oh, you have a Canon 50. OK.
• 4:09
  Oh, does it? Yeah.
• 4:10
  What? What is what even is this thing?
• 4:11
  It's an R Canon RX or whatever it's called.
• 4:13
  Or XR. What?
• 4:14
  I can't remember the model name. You know, you can start just
• 4:17
  that. So what what are we doing?
• 4:18
  What's the what's the aim of? We're here for changing Ministry
• 4:20
  Gaming, which is a series where Men's Health and gaming combine.
• 4:23
  Yeah, and so we're going to have a chat about Men's Health and
• 4:25
  play a video game. Yeah, man, sounds good.
• 4:27
  We've got camera controllers, video games.
• 4:32
  What is what is this is a this is a this is an Xbox.
• 4:34
  It's an Xbox One. Yeah man, Xbox One.
• 4:37
  I've actually never played on the next one.
• 4:39
  I'm playing Halo three. Oh yeah.
• 4:42
  So guys, this is the setup. I'm not going to film me doing
• 4:45
  the thing because like that's the whole idea of them filming
• 4:48
  it. So I'll update you guys once
• 4:51
  we're done, once I'm back in the car and yeah, speech is here.
• 4:56
  I'm excited. I'm played Halo three in a
• 4:58
  while. So it's we good watch the flood,
• 5:00
  man. OK, we're all done.
• 5:02
  We are all done. That was really, really good.
• 5:03
  I ended up kind of doing a bit of a a, a motivational speech at
• 5:07
  the end of it. But what I'm going to do is I'm
• 5:08
  going to get some of the footage and I'm going to hopefully
• 5:12
  import it into my channel. I'm going to put on my channel
• 5:15
  and just do kind of show the stuff.
• 5:17
  Why do I like the guy from Ghostbusters, you know, the
• 5:19
  painting Vigo, the the ghocerian or whatever.
• 5:23
  Vigo. Anyway, there's my car, good old
• 5:26
  Tesla, the Tesla. And yeah, I'm going to go home
• 5:29
  and have some lunch because I am starving.
• 5:34
  Guys, what's going on? I am home.
• 5:36
  I'm too bright. Guys, I'm home.
• 5:39
  I'm back from the the the event. Sorry, my hair's absolutely nuts
• 5:44
  today. Yeah, it was good.
• 5:46
  It wasn't really an event. It was more like me sitting down
• 5:49
  in an interview about mental health, which is interesting man
• 5:52
  to get out of the bin. Dogs, dogs don't care.
• 5:56
  Randy out of the bin. He's exposing my vegan chocolate
• 6:00
  bar I had the other day. Anyway, so you made me think
• 6:03
  about mental health because of the whole topic of conversation
• 6:06
  with mental health, right. And the thing about mental
• 6:08
  health is there's two main components.
• 6:10
  Alexa, turn on the studio and there's two main components with
• 6:17
  with mental health And those those are worry and anxiety and
• 6:22
  they come from something called a problem.
• 6:24
  So when you have a problem, you have a bipractical worry, then
• 6:27
  you are worried about something which causes anxiety.
• 6:30
  Now check this out When you're worried about something, you're
• 6:33
  worried about a future event usually and that future event
• 6:37
  hasn't happened yet. So when you think about it,
• 6:39
  you're worrying now about something that hasn't happened
• 6:41
  yet. So you're worried now and you'll
• 6:42
  worry then too. But there's an even bigger
• 6:44
  picture here. So don't worry twice as kind of
• 6:46
  the model of that. The bigger picture is this.
• 6:49
  If you could not have a problem, then you wouldn't have the
• 6:53
  worry. If you didn't have the worry,
• 6:54
  you wouldn't have the anxiety. But check this out.
• 6:56
  Anxiety comes from the worry of a problem, but a problem only
• 7:02
  exists because a solution exists.
• 7:04
  I want to mean by this is if you say, hey, Oh no, my car's broken
• 7:07
  down, this is a problem, but we already know the solution.
• 7:10
  The car not to break down by taking it to a garage to fix it
• 7:14
  would be the solution, right? So already know.
• 7:17
  So if you know there's a problem, you already know
• 7:19
  there's a solution to that problem.
• 7:20
  So what I'm getting at is that we don't actually have problems
• 7:23
  in life. We have potential towards
• 7:25
  solutions. Now, if we think like this, we
• 7:27
  won't have the worry because a solution isn't something to
• 7:29
  worry about, you know what I mean?
• 7:30
  It's like it's a good thing. Then without the worry, you
• 7:32
  won't have the anxiety. And so you have your mental
• 7:35
  health by half. I know it sounds very simple and
• 7:39
  it is, but it's something that people don't really think about.
• 7:41
  And I think that the more we we talk openly about things like
• 7:44
  this, then the better mental health in general will become.
• 7:47
