#Mentellhealth Questions


Listen Later

The guys talk about the Super Bowl. Koz isn't a Patriots fan but rooted for them. Alema went for the Eagles because of his son being a fan for years back when a lot of BYU players were playing for the Eagles.

Alema does pre and post game for the Utah Jazz on television and they are currently on a winning streak. He talks about how much better everything is when the Jazz are winning. It makes his job easier and has even talked to business owners who say that business is better when the Jazz are winning. That is because it elevates their emotions when they are winning. For example, when the Jazz beat the Warriors by 30, fans felt like they won the game and they weren't even playing.

Koz has become a fan of teams in Houston because of what they went through this past year due to the Hurricane. But everything seemed better for a short period when the Houston Astros won the World Series.

The first #Mentellhealth question comes in from a listener. He is a sports drinker, which is when he watches his sports teams and his drinks while watching them. He also had a gambling problem but didn't have problems gambling until he was drinking a lot. Koz and Alema advise him to be very careful. That if he is a gambler in recovery that he needs to go back to a meeting.

The second #Mentellhealth question comes in from a listener that is having a hard time with her husband always helping his mom and going to her all the time. The mother-in-law lost her husband recently and is going through a hard time but it's been tough on the marriage because he isn't there for his wife. The advice that was given by Koz and Alema to her is to have the mother-in-law attend a support group that is specific to this issue of grieving after losing a loved one. Also, she has to be understanding to a point as well as the husband.

The last #Mentellhealth question for Koz and Alema comes from a father whose son is being some what bullied at school. The school hasn't done much about it and the father is tired of it. The guys gave a couple of tips for the dad like keep on talking to the school administration until it gets handled. They have a lot of problems each day so stay proactive. The other is to maybe try out a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu class. It is purely for self defense.
