00:00Well, I woke up to some very devastating news today.
00:03My best friend took his own life.
00:06I've known that man since I was four years old.
00:09Almost all my good memories as a child and teenager, he was there.
00:14He was just a little guy, only about 5'3", but he was one of the most badass dudes I
00:19ever met and a phenomenal wrestler.
00:21In 7th grade, I was a tall, chubby, awkward kid, and I was at a high school basketball game,
00:26and these two 10th graders came up and started picking on me.
00:30Well, he went up to one of them and was like, hey, pick on someone your own size,
00:34which was funny because he's about 5' tall.
00:37And he double-legged takedown that kid, got on top of him, and those two boys never talk shit again.
00:43That's just the kind of friend that he was, and I got about a million of them stories I could
00:48tell.
00:49About six months ago, he sent me and Salko a message telling how proud he was of us,
00:54and he said he always knew I'd do something good with my life, and that he wanted to meet our
00:59son.
01:01Uh, he never got to meet our son.
01:04He was a damn good friend.
01:06I hope and pray my son has a friend like him one day.
01:10I wish I could help my friend.
01:12I wish my friend wasn't sad.
01:14But we live in a sad world.
01:16The mental health struggle is real.
01:18Depression is real.
01:20So be kind to people, man.
01:22You never know what they're going through.
01:24Sorry about the tears.
01:26Y'all have a good day.
01:27You
