The Snarky Empath

I've been having migraines off and on for three days now, and with it some rare accompanying anxiety. But I really wanted people to see the unvarnished reality of mental health snags given the state of the world these days. Here, I share my anxiety and feelings about the state of things these days in politics. Not exactly looking or feeling my best or most put-together post exercise, I wanted to share the brutal truth about the state of Republican politics, and why anyone with half a brain would be wise to think about the risks involved in this unusual movement and mania.

On this quick video I address yesterday's events that took place with the attempt on former President Trump's life, and the sociopolitical aftermath that will likely ensue, and what my concerns are for the country in these polarized times.

Here, first I talk about political absolutism, and the risks involved in single issue voting. But really, I'm here to talk about how I keep my good mood up and my mind positive and resilient to the harshness of the times. Just a basic level of activity and mindfulness can help you, just like it does for me, in keeping your mind right and your attitude and hope up, especially when there's so much negativity and awfulness around us all the time. I truly think the world would be such a better place if we were all just a little bit kinder and good to one another, to be friends instead of always antagonizing and challenging one another.

Since we can't always change others or the outside world, the one thing I know I can change is myself through a healthy regimen of endurance exercise, sensible strength training, and cultivating a relaxed attitude and a keen sense of humor! Here, I talk about my fitness program, not just for better health, but to keep my mind agile and feeling good, and to keep my mood more even keel. How much of people's nastiness towards each other and bad attitudes is because some people just don't feel good or feel right? We let other people's bad attitudes sometimes affect us too much, letting those people live rent free in our head.

I just think that a bare minimum of activity and preventative exercise is essential to not only keep yourself strong against antagonistic people, but to cultivate a resilient and relaxed attitude that will guard yourself against the stress and rigors of life in often difficult and busy times. Anyway, enjoy your weekend friends! I hope you are doing well!

Hello folks! I just wanted to check in on you guys after the podcast and say hi, and talk a little bit about the last podcast show entitled, "The Politics of Love v Hate, or at Least, Normal v Abnormal." The After-Party is our new series we'll be doing every week after the full length podcast episode airs to talk more personally about various things, like what went wrong and right with the last episode, and more specifically, to add context to the episode, what our mindset was, and to clarify and elaborate on things, and to add some personal fun behind the scenes details about what we were really trying to get at.

At the end of the day, I treat the regular podcast show differently than I do these shorter videos. Here, we're much more casual and laid back, whereas the podcast episodes are intended for worldwide distribution and radio quality, where this is more of a way to just say hi and connect with you all, our friends, to elaborate about the show kind of like a director's commentary. We really want to make friends and get to know you, and we sincerely want you to see that we're just down to earth regular people, and that all of us regular people deserve the same happiness, success, and consideration as all the big fancy YouTube channels, podcasts, syndicated radio shows, and celebrities.

We're here to keep it real, straight talk only, that's what this all about! Please subscribe to the channel on the Bryar Patch Media YouTube channel, and please please please like the videos and please watch all the way through to help the algorithm so we can grow into the big awesome thing we know this can be! When we get bigger and better we can do more good for you and this world! We want to leave the world in a better state than when we found it, and keep humor and heart at the forefront of robust and joyful living! Thanks and please enjoy!

After the Supreme Court's democracy busting controversial ruling, essentially making Presidents of the United States Kings, then Biden's not so great debate performance and the aftermath that followed, we thought we should tackle this subject once and for all so we can get it off our chest and then move on to better things and greener pastures! Here, we'll talk about the politics of hate v love, or at least, normal v abnormal. Because we're living in strange times indeed! But we'll get through it together!

The media at large is playing right into MAGA's hands, going on and on about Biden's old age rather than Trump's craziness, extremism, AND old age! Because it's an election year, we thought that we should put in our two cents about the state of politics today, and how it has made life and our country temporarily weird and difficult for so many average people lately. Here, we try to educate those who might not be into politics that much, and we try to be both informative and entertaining, detailing just what we think is the most important things to be thinking about right now, both politically and mental-health and life wise.

At the end of the day, we want this channel to be both educational and fun, always coming from the point of view of sticking up and advocating for regular people living regular lives, just like us! Unfortunately, the world can sometimes be this super real drag, and so we want all of you guys to understand the state of things, how to prepare for it, and how to not let this stuff keep you upset and stressed out all of the time.

Life should be enjoyed and good things should be savored. But sometimes, we have to eat our intellectual broccoli before we can have our dessert. But we here at Bryar Patch Media, we try to make all subjects fun. Here, we're tackling the politics of our times, in a fun and funny way, so let get into it!

We've been hammered lately by technical difficulties and existential realities, dealing with everything from cancer diagnoses to financial hardship to mental health setbacks. So your friendship and support means everything to us! We're trying so hard to make this show both informative, compassionate, and helpful, advocating for good mental health and robust living for regular people, and ways to make a better life when you're limited by a regular working class life. We talk a lot about all the things we feel most real working class and struggling people are dealing with these days. But every once in a while we like to let go of the world's irregularities to explore our guilty pleasure and obsession; the paranormal, cryptids, UFOs/UAPs, extra terrestrials, and all strange and unexplained phenomenon!

On this special episode we just wanted to have a bit of fun and let go of our worries and frustrations for a while and open up about what we believe when it comes to all things unexplained. We'll talk about what we believe in and to what extent and why, plus our thoughts about the hit TV show on the History channel The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, and whether the existence of portals could be a real thing?! Are we possibly being visited by extra terrestrial craft or beings through these "portals," serving as some kind of cosmological doorway or airport for craft to get here from the far reaches of outer space?

We'll go into all of it, examining our own criteria of proof, and what the most probable case that can be made for ghosts, paranormal entities, crypids, and all things that go bump in the night! As the times get stranger, we start to see that perhaps it's not so weird after all to believe that there's some greater cosmological perspective at play, expanding humankind's understanding of our world and universe. Might we finally be at our technological and humanitarian crossroads to uncovering the secrets to the cosmos?

We'll talk about believers versus nonbelievers and why some nonbelievers seem to not believe just to save face, and why it's important to be scientifically literate and rational, but to also remain openminded when it comes to the truest nature of life and the dynamics of the universe. In what sometimes feels like existentially perilous times, we find it is especially important to be kind and classy, to maximize good cheer and positivity, and to keep an open mind when it comes to things that aren't well explained. So let's get into it!

Every week I'm going to try to put out a post podcast "After Party" video and audio, talking about that week's podcast. This will allow you to get to know us better, and hopefully for us to connect with and get to know you better too! Also, to critique our performance and to perhaps clarify something we said or elaborate on something in order to make something more clear. The Bryar Patch After Party will be released as a podcast audio that you can stream on Spotify and almost everywhere, as well as a YouTube video on our Bryar Patch Media YouTube channel. Thanks for getting caught up in the Bryar Patch on https://youtube.com/@bryarpatchmedia
