On this episode of YBTT...It's 1AM, it's a Saturday Night, I cannot sleep, and I talk. Everything I say in this podcast is genuine. Truly. And, I'll be honest...this may stay up...I may delete it. I originally recorded this thinking I was going to keep it to myself....we will see. Enjoy. _______You're Better Than That Podcast are the inner thoughts of myself, Tony Patrico, as I focus on being the best father, partner, and man that I can be.  After a social media scandal caused me to lose my employment, I hit rock bottom.  But, I didn't give up.  Panic attacks.  Crisis Centers.  Medicine.  Tears.  Thoughts.   But, I didn't give up.   I am not a monster.  I am a flawed man who is working on showing everyone who I truly am.   These are just my thoughts and...if you dig this or you just stop by to see how bad it is...Welcome.  We're here to talk.  It's cool.  If you are here because you just want to hate on me or this podcast...Welcome.  It's cool that you don't like me.  I'm sorry I ever did anything to give you that chance.  Please, keep your hate for me to yourself.  Thanks.   Even if it just helps ONE PERSON - and that one person is me - I think I'll keep doing these.   Thanks for all the love.  You guys have no idea how much it means to me.   CONTACT US: @manDadpod on TwitterEmail: mandadpod@gmail.com________If you or someone you know is in a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis, help is available.

June was Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Each week we planned on posting a special episode (SPESH EP) focusing on men's mental health topics. Last week - the last Friday in June, I didn't post anything.  Why?  I wasn't up for it.  And instead of lying to yall...I didn't post anything.   But today, (4th of July), I feel like a different person.  And it's because lately, I've really been trying to find reasons to love myself.  I know it sounds cheesy, and it is...but just listen to this episode.   Even if it just helps ONE PERSON - and that one person is me - I think I'll keep doing these.   So...with that being said...only when I have something to chat about, I will be continuing to do the You're Better Than That Series.   Thanks for all the love.  You guys have no idea how much it means to me.   CONTACT US: @manDadpod on Twitter Email: mandadpod@gmail.com If you or someone you know is in a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis, help is available.

On this episode of YBTT...it's another journey into what is going on currently in my mind. Letting go of my radio life has been a real struggle, and guess what, that's OK. Because sometimes the best results can come from letting something go. Take a listen as I unravel the thoughts that have been weighing on me and I answer some questions that folks have been asking about._______You're Better Than That Podcast are the inner thoughts of myself, Tony Patrico, as I focus on being the best father, partner, and man that I can be.  After a social media scandal caused me to lose my employment, I hit rock bottom.  But, I didn't give up.  Panic attacks.  Crisis Centers.  Medicine.  Tears.  Thoughts.   But, I didn't give up.   I am not a monster.  I am a flawed man who is working on showing everyone who I truly am.   These are just my thoughts and...if you dig this or you just stop by to see how bad it is...Welcome.  We're here to talk.  It's cool.  If you are here because you just want to hate on me or this podcast...Welcome.  It's cool that you don't like me.  I'm sorry I ever did anything to give you that chance.  Please, keep your hate for me to yourself.  Thanks.   Even if it just helps ONE PERSON - and that one person is me - I think I'll keep doing these.  Thanks for all the love.  You guys have no idea how much it means to me.   CONTACT US: @manDadpod on TwitterEmail: mandadpod@gmail.com________If you or someone you know is in a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis, help is available.
