Hollywood Is In Danger (w/ Demi Adejuyigbe) | Sad Boyz 

The right's anti union sentiments are so bizarre. My dad is a far right conservative with abhorrent views on most things, but as a lineman he belongs to a powerful union and is very in favor of them. Even he, a man that easily buys into right wing talking points, doesnt see the logic in the common working man being anti union.

"When you initially got on your bullshit" and "When I began to be on my bullshit" are both gems I must incorporate into my life, thanks Sad Boyz!

Jordan mentioning Bipolar medication is so true. It took so long of throwing things at the wall until we tried Lithium. Was always worried about side effects but getting to my dosage I was truly like "Oh, this is how a person functions... Interesting." Also I feel like so many of us being like "My experience with physical and mental health was a mess until I realized my experience WAS different from the norm and went to a doctor" is a result of growing up in a culture of "Everyone deals with that. Everyone get's tired shut up."

As someone who works for a water damage mitigation team it’s difficult having to explain to people that we are in fact not allowed to put anything back

My college apartment is a mystery of things wrong. In the past year we had; ants (twice), spiders, wasps, a detached wall that had asbestos behind it, a broken toilet at one point, a door with a dollar worth of quarters gap around the whole thing (door was replaced and then wouldn’t shut if the sun was shining on the door). And in February and March our heat went out 6 times, always on the weekend and always when it snowed, they ‘fixed it’ and we got the genuinely strangest interactions we’ve ever had because of it. I go to school in Rochester New York 💀 it would be Impressive if it wasn’t so annoying and problematic. Edit: found out our pipes are covered in lead 🥲

Jarvis saying "There's so many little things wrong with me that I've just been ignoring my entire life," at 1:07:50 is very relatable and I feel called out

i love to see you guys allying with the working class and having serious conversations about it! god bless this is what a platform should be used for thank u comrades

All DIY electrical work needs to be done when the stuff you're working on is de-energized (turned off at the breaker panel). And always keep in mind that minor mistakes with electrical work can easily cause house fires/bodily harm/property damage/death. Online home repair/improvement videos are usually great, but too often people skip vitally important safety steps. Electricity travels at the speed of light, is invisible, can travel through connecting objects, and can kill at levels far lower than what powers your home, please be careful.

The conversation about what is an actual medical condition and what is just an event in your life is really interesting and I think as an AFAB person I could add more to this conversation because to all that confusion you have to add the fact that on a monthly basis your hormones change soo much and you might never realise something is up because you'll just assume it's because of the hormones OR you might think that something is wrong with you and then never think that it might be connected to your cycle. Also an important context is that A LOT of medical issues in AFAB women are ignored and brushed off as just "feminine health stuff" and never looked into, at least in my and my close friends' experiences here in Europe.

I HAVE NARCOLEPSY TOO (type 2, without cataplexy)! I finally got the doctors to give me a sleep study after two years of complaining of the exact things Demi described. I feel like, if they made sleep studies more common/more accessible, narcolepsy would be a lot more common. I was 23 when I got diagnosed and it's so relieving to at least KNOW what it is. Anyway I'm off to bed, I'm tired 😉💤

on my own health journey w/ sleep and adhd, autism, depression, and some sort of chronic illness,,, but I got started on adhd meds today! and part of getting myself there is this podcast and how you guys say like,, you deserve to feel good and functional. just because you can like... make yourself do things, it doesnt have to be that way and you deserve help and im so thankful for that. u guys have helped ke woth my own self love journey so so much.

I work for a union and really appreciate this conversation. Everyone needs to be more educated about labor issues. I would LOVE to see a general strike. Solidarity with all the writers striking!

Demi makes the rounds on podcasts! Loved his Off Book episodes.

Omg I have narcolepsy and got so excited when Demi was describing his symptoms because I was like I know what this is! But also so sorry king welcome to the club ❤

I've had a crush on Demi since Gilmore Guys. Now hearing him talking about workers rights? 🥵 And about being a creative with a formula/math brain? 🥵🥵 (Also, nothing has convinced me I should get therapy more than how hard I related to "I just lose friends after 5 years". Yikes, it me. Yikes.)

I have narcolepsy! I messaged Jarvis about it a long time ago when I was diagnosed that his symptoms sounded a lot like mine. I’m really glad that he’s pursuing a sleep study.

honestly, demi talking about falling asleep in the room made me realize I might truly have narcolepsy, I’ve always felt like I must just be lazy or low energy.

1:11:21 My Pepere, who turned 70 yesterday!!, is one of the cool ones! He has always been extremely supportive of everything my brother or I have ever done. Him and Gram (his wife) were the only family members that automatically accepted me when I came out as trans, everyone else were/are against it and tried to make me "change my mind". Ever since I came out him and gram have taught themselves so much about the LGBTQ+ community. One of my favorite examples of this was when I got a call from Gram because she had heard the term 'non-binary' on the news and wanted to get a better understanding of what it meant. Another moment that sticks out is when Pepere called me on June 1st a few years ago to tell me that the month of June is Pride month!!! He was so excited to share this with me, which I found funny because he knew that the year prior I had gone to NYC for World Pride Parade lol. All my friends love him and Gram so much, they call him "our Pepere", a role he gladly accepted. I love him with all of my heart. So to all the people in the older generations who say they're stuck in their ways and can't possibly change now are total liars.

Demi was once one half of the greatest music podcast known to music podcast listeners, Punch Up The Jam. I miss him and Miel talking about songs together. Got me through many shitty night shifts

Considering child influencers have so little control over their lives and money it's gross to see. It's the same idea as child actors, but it's just the parents on a smartphone and that's so much more unsettling

“With every good thing, there are like a million bad things between it” Thank y’all for being so vulnerable. Some of us need to hear this ✊

I'm actually going through the same thing Demi was going through wrt falling asleep randomly/during important stuff. I am currently waiting on my sleep study to confirm narcolepsy (those symptoms sound very familiar) but glad to know it happens to other people because it can be very isolating.

43:45 This whole part of the conversation was really relieving to hear from bigger creators. I recently put out a video that was a bit different from the content I usually make and now over half my sub base came just from that video. My stress about how to continue forward with different content has just led to difficulty creating anything, but this took so much pressure off my back. The Sad Boyz podcast is continuously fantastic for my mental well-being, and I am immensely appreciative of what you guys do!

glad to hear you guys are pursuing getting sleep studies done! really wish sleep studies were more of a standard test any time someone complains about fatigue but for some reason general physicians don't seem to think about sleep much despite it being one of the most important processes for humans to live. also always awesome to see more narcolepsy representation, it's such a misunderstood condition so it's great to see people talk about their experiences. the good place was one of my comfort shows when i was seeking my diagnosis so it's kind of cool to know one of the writers was going though the same thing (as much as it sucks and i don't wish it on anyone haha)

Hey Jarvis, sleep apnea related to mouth breathing is when your throat stops you from breathing while you're asleep for extended durations. Not enough to kill you (although it can) but it's depriving your brain of oxygen repeatedly overnight. Look into getting a CPAP! I have a deviated septum and it helped immensely with both fatigue and even grinding my teeth. Sleep study is great too

Gatekeeping this particular bagel is so funny to me because it's not a random hole in the wall it's their sixth location in nyc lol

Bro, the “language barrier” bit. There was a storm that blew through FL that knocked a bunch of fencing down around the neighborhood. I saw my neighbor putting up some fencing, so I went to help. Russian. Spoke maybe 3 English words. I, bilingual, and neither blessed with the Russian language, spoke maybe 1. He pulled out his phone and google translated something to the tune of “just follow me”, and we basically point-spoke to each other for, I’d say, an hour or two, putting up the fencing he’d lost on the part of the property adjacent to mine. Finished up, we thanked each other, and the fence has been decent enough since. Let me tell you, those first few minutes of trying to get each other up to speed on how we were going to communicate? Genuine mini-sitcom. Not over-the-top-haha funny, but just that mundane futzing you can’t help but chuckle at.

thank u for talking about the writers strike and the working class! power to all the people, every industry, every workplace

learning i might be autistic saved me fr because as a trans teenager i really needed to ground myself with who i was or explaining to myself how my brain works, i cant imagine who or where i would be today note: im 20, i found out im autistic like around 2019

The “writer questions” are def appreciated, it’s nice to hear about it from a writer, especially now

I LOVE DEMI AND I'M SO EXCITED

For the preference of looking stuff up, for me it’s sorta because I prefer reading to speaking generally, I like taking things at my own pace, and I don’t want to waste someone’s time if I figure it out quickly after one step.

It’s so nice to see men talking so openly about mental health. Keep up the good work! ❤

hearing about demi's experience with narcolepsy has made me want to look into my own sleep health... because i can get 12 hours of sleep and still be exhausted. it was so cool hearing someone else have the same issue -- def going to check in with a doctor about it

feel very seen knowing Demi has narcolepsy. I have "idiopathic hypersomulance" cause I couldn't pass the criteria for narcolepsy in my sleep study. currently taking armodafonil and still feeling as eepy as ever, just can't eep :( yay for narcolepsy awareness tho

Oh boy that Baby Gronk thing. Welcome to Canadian junior hockey culture, y'all.

This is so weird seeing him with the voice he’s always been disembodied and now he’s on the creen

Yo, I was so hoping you guys would talk about this topic! Thanks guys for another great video!

The way Jarvis butchered that Nigerian name. I'm in tearssss lmao.

He's got such a great speaking voice wtf. I have never heard an American accent like that it's so so cool.

as a fan of Punch Up the Jam and Sad Boyz, this video ABSOLUTELY rocked my damn world

Here in Colorado it’s been raining like crazy too, but it’s so strange because Colorado is typically a dry place. Like the main color outside in the summer is usually yellow, so it’s really strange to have humid weather especially as a landlocked state that touches Utah and Arizona.

it is a terrible rainy sad day for me today but this has cheered me up immensely :-) thank u jarvis and jordan (and demi!!)

Demi’s such a cool dude, thanks for bringing him on!

Jarvis always talks about his old tech content, kinda makes me go back and wanna watch it, even though I normally hate tech stuff

Perfect timing, I was just getting ready to start my saturday reset amd listening to the pod while cleaning is always a blast!

very happy this comes out once a week. i am going through the podcast at a fast speed

this was fun to watch on my car ride to massachusetts, thank you jarvis and co.

ayyyy narcolepsy gang!!!!! i was only able to get my sleep study and diagnosis after graduating and its fucking wild how i spent so much of my early 20s like "haha yeah being always sleepy and almost falling asleep while standing up is just a silly little character quirk teehee ;P" like. why did it take until i was physically unable to stay awake long enough to properly work on my thesis to be like oh maybe something is wrong like pathologically 💀

"why is Ryan Reynolds in this video" not the Sean roast lmaoooo

Terrific conversation- you guys really hit the substantive content this week and I’m here for it!

Oooof the talk about being consistent about your meds and feeling like crap when you can’t just Do The Thing without help really hit bc I was talking to my therapist about that this morning

Very insightful conversation. Great guest.

Great episode! Loved learning about what is going on with the writer strike!

i love this podcast because it gets down to the nitty gritty of mental health and mental illness awareness and acceptance whilst also talking about the topical issues at hand in a thought provoking manner. also Jarvis's laugh is delightful alongside Jordan's reactions.

literally jumped for joy when i saw demi was coming on sad boyz. three of my favorite internet people together !!

I think most people want LONGER videos but maybe im just biased. a 30-40 minute Jarvis video would be great!

this is the most ive related as someone who's been trying to get into the industry i just feel hopeless and depressed about it most of the time

i love Jarvis rambling about a bagel towards the end of the pod

So great seeing Demi with Sad Boyz!!

when i saw demis name on the title i gasped - really loving the guests youve been bringing on! great conversation, great episode, love yall

literally thank you so much for mentioning sense8 jarvis, literally my favorite show of all time that was done the dirtiest

I feel so validated, and resonate so much with this episode.

What an awesome guest. Can't wait to see him again in 5 years.

I feel like having Jarvis as a best friend would be so great.

They need to stop looking at isolated data so hard. Sometimes when I click off a youtube video it has nothing to do with how engaging it is, sometimes I get interrupted. Sometimes I have to poop

hey jarvis I don't usually comment on things but what you were saying about your sleeping habits reminded me of what I experience and I have TMJ! I'm undergoing treatment at the moment through the TMJ Sleep Therapy Centre. They have locations all over so maybe look into a TMJ and Sleep Apnea specialist in your area if you feel like you experience those kinds of symptoms!

I was listening to this on Apple Podcasts but I had to come here to comment once you started talking about narcolepsy. I’m 24, and since high school I’ve been falling asleep when I definitely shouldn’t be. In class, in the movie theatre, sometimes standing up… I’m a dancer so I see a lot of live performances and feel AWFUL because I fall asleep during these beautiful shows but I just can’t help it. I’ve always attributed it to different things, and kinda joked that it could be narcolepsy. I only seriously started considering it a few months ago, but I always gaslight myself into thinking it’s not “bad enough” to pursue. Hearing your experience was so validating and empowering. You probably won’t see this but thank you so much for sharing 🙏

i quit adderall about 3 months ago after being on it on and off since 4th grade and i feel amazing. like i feel the best i have in my life. i’m taking a non narcotic non stimulant adhd med called strattera i tried it in the past and even set my negative opinions aside to try it again, i feel so much more clear headed , no more mood swings and energy crashes throughout the day and i’m not depressed!!!

This podcast has made me learn two things. one, my septum issue and breathing issues due to it is not a wild thing that people don't know about. and two, that it could cut years off of my life. Thank you Jarvis this is why you're my favorite content creator

“A rising tide lifts all bones.” I’ve never heard that before but I like it.

I don't know how much I can say, but in the states there is so much struggle in the medical system. I'm glad to hear at least in the UK folks are trying. I cried at work yesterday and I only do office stuff. Hospitals are over working nurses then laying them off! And it is genuinely criminal how low doctors in training are paid. Even well paid doctors have talked about taking pay cuts so they can retain more staff but the hospital systems won't allow it. And there is more issues with quality care and safety. Everyone is genuinely upset and trying to make it better, but its hard when there is just so much weight. Thats why we need unions, we can be strong for each other.

Jordan is trying hsi best

WOW I am so stoked about Mr. Electrolemon himself!!!

i watched this a bit ago but wanted to come back to comment this: hearing Demi's experience with narcolepsy made me horrified because it mirrored my own experiences so much, so i was looking into any sleep tests i could find- but i was also really lucky to already have an ADHD appointment on the horizon. after my appt (not surprised- definitely have ADHD) and after getting on medication i have noticed a scary huge reduction in my unavoidable dozing off at my desk at work/inability to stay awake at times no matter how much sleep i've gotten. still need to do a sleep test, but symptoms are helped now! thank you SO much for this vid, the guests you guys have, and your channel. if not for this, i wouldn't have known that i might also have narcolepsy (which i now suspect is probably caused by my chronic illness) thank you thank you!

Been a fan of demi since episode 1 of gilmore guys. So excited to see this collab! Also I have extemely unrefreshing sleep. I had a sleep study but it was normal which doesn't make any sense to me. I have severe hypersomnia and always feel incredibly tired yet wired. Feels like I haven't slept in 4 years 💀

this podcast continues to be painfully relatable when it comes to living with physical health conditions hh i have narcolepsy/hypersomnia .. it is textbook narcolepsy, but i have 'too many health problems to have narcolepsy; it's narcolepsy when you have a vanilla health record' and it's one of my most disabling conditions !! constant fatigue, sleepiness, sleep-drunkenness/sleep inertia, brain fog, etc. is so hard to manage. and omg i describe that sleep study as narcoleptic torture .. i was literally walking around in circles in my room watching the time go by so slowly and being so goddamn tired, and then they let you sleep and it's heavenly .. for like 20 minutes and you have to do it all again ... great study for results and diagnoses, but felt a bit hellish :p

i love how they know dipper is easily the best advertisement for the patreon

I LOVE DEMI! This collab made my morning

the entire west coast has had very weird weather for a year, not just california

Forever my Gilmore Guy, so happy to see Demi whenever he pops up on my YT feed

His letterboxd is on point. Great follow!

whoa. the title changed. whoa

Thank you sad boys for reminding me to take my meds even though it's my day off

great episode as always :)

Jordan you are 100% right!! Winter in LA is colder (indoors) because we don't have heating/insulation like houses in colder locales.

I feel like the best response that the bagel guy could’ve had was to do a TikTok saying something along the lines of “haha, you fell for my ploy! I wanted to promote a great restaurant because of the great bagel I had! Now they will be more popular than they ever could’ve before!” regardless of whether that actually was his intention or not. He could play it off as a joke by doing a silly voice or something. Not saying that what he did warranted any harassment of course, just that this would be such a fun way to end the situation.

Demi is a original sad boi for me. So fucking nice and wholesome to see him here with you guys. Love you, boyz!

flood insurance is always separate coverage you have to purchase.

Hey at least be thankful you can take medications safely.. Im pretty damn sure i have ADHD, but cant use any of these medications because I'm also an addict on top of that. And like i feel like society kinda leaves people like me in the dust. Like i cant take adderall or vyvanse or ritalin. So now society's not gonna give me any alternative. and everyone seems to either have an opinion of "oh you have adhd so it's totally ok for you to take adderall" or they have the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. Neither of which is even remotely helpful to me. Sorry if this seems like a rant. But nobody ever talks about the issue of addicts not getting the help they need for coexisting disorders

OMGGGG DEMI. I haven’t seen him in a MINUTEEE ❤

Jarvis mentioning John Green: worlds colliding. I also have watched VlogBrothers for almost as long as they've been on RU-vid!

I have narcolepsy and central sleep apnea. Had the exact same experience with my first sleep study (hit REM within 4 seconds with each nap) and the adderall shortage has made life hell. Currently taking provigil (again) but it doesn’t work nearly as well.

The number of absolutely insane sentences that were talked about in this episode is astounding and I love it. All the baby gronk stuff, “I’m 40 hours into the search for this bagel”, “he found it because someone that does bagel tours in New York recognized the wrapper.”

y’all talking about it being rainy in LA meanwhile canada just had the warmest shortest winter ever; the climate rlly do be changing and it’s terrifying!!

i did a sleep study to see if i had some sleep issue but i literally got like no sleep bc they had to constantly wake me up to fix the wires n stuff so i have no clue how it was accurate lol

This episode is so much more than baby gru, you're underselling it !!

LETS GOOOO GEOGUESSR MENTION YIPPEE ty for the kind words :]]]

Ironically I'm watching this on zero hours of sleep with work in an hour rip

Words make writers come alive. Writers who breathe stars into media. Even if all in pictures, hidden are thousands. Corporates will often fall default to banks. Directions altered to fit new standards. Writers watch as scripts are worshiped, burned. Words are symbols of revolutions. Revolutions breathe new life into old stars. Stars that shine far beyond our bickering. Without words, humanity is doomed. In short phrases, alone, we save ourselves. Writers watch the world as it echoes: hope.
