A viewer wants to know how Farron keeps his personal health (both physical and mental) in check while having to deal with this insanity.

Folks, there's no question about it. Doing this every day, having to talk about some of the worst things ever is stressful. And uh, I do have a lot of good viewers, a lot of kindhearted people who, who do worry about me because you say we get angry sometimes. And so I have a question here from, uh, YouTube Community member mi, Mr. Pick 71, who asks, how do you keep your blood pressure under control dealing with Trump and g o p idiots on a daily basis? Um, I got a little help actually. I'm starting to wonder if Mr. Pick might actually be my doctor watching videos and like, you better watch your blood pressure. Uh, I get a little bit of help from, uh, my good friend, uh, metoprolol, uh, that is the blood pressure medication that I am on because yes, I do have high blood pressure, uh, but it's not so much the stress of this.

Uh, I'm also not the healthiest guy out there. Uh, covid definitely not kind to me. I put on a ton of weight that I have done virtually nothing to lose since then. So, you know, my blood pressure has gone way up. Um, so I, I need to do more, right? I don't want to be on blood pre, uh, pressure medication. I'm, I'm still, I, I feel at least a relatively young guy. So I've actually kind made a promise. I've been talking to my wife, I'm like, listen, you know, I've got this trip coming up and uh, once I get back, I'm gonna make a plan. I'm gonna stick to this plan. I'm going to, you know, start working out. I'm gonna do these things. We're gonna stop ordering food every night. We're gonna start cooking more. Uh, 'cause we actually, that's one of our biggest issues is, you know, she ends up working forever.

I'm always constantly busy. So we're like, screw it. Let's order food. Let's just order, let's DoorDash it, you know, let's Uber eats it, whatever. Um, and then we had like a two week span where we didn't do that and I lost eight pounds, like doing nothing other than just not ordering food and cooking at home. I lost eight pounds from that. So that's like a big thing of it. But the other is I gotta get more active, uh, for my blood pressure so that I can be here for my family. 'cause it is something I do think about. It is something I'm very worried about by the way. Um, even though with the medication, my blood pressure is now down to a manageable level. So I, I do appreciate the concern. Um, but yeah, it's, it's not necessarily the stress of dealing with these idiots a lot of time.

It's fun. I think a lot of people have even commented on the fact that I'm laughing more in videos, because they're just so dumb. They really are so dumb folks. Uh, but I do appreciate the concern and trust me, it's something, I've got it on the agenda. I'm working on a plan. Like I'm the kind of guy, like I have to have a plan or else I'm not gonna do it. Um, so we'll see. And you'll see, right? You'll be watching videos and if two months from now my face still looks like this, you could be like, oh, okay. He, uh, he didn't stick to the plan. So, I'm putting it out there now and y'all will be able to judge, you know, two, three months down the road, pull up a video from like today, pull up one from December, put 'em side by side and be like,

Hmm.

I

Don't, I don't think,

I don't think his plan worked. So that's what's great about being on camera every day is like I put on weight or I lose weight. Y'all can all tell, especially if you pull up older videos. Um, so we'll all see together. How about that? That sounds fun, right? And hopefully in the future I can get off the blood pressure medication. Um, and y'all will probably see the difference in these videos.
