Being in our armed forces is no easy task. In this episode we talk about two aspects that are particularly chilling, and that is the amount of sexual assaults amongst soldiers and their suicide rate. 22 veterans commit suicide everyday. 1 is too many.

We all get them, you'd be even crazier than you are now if you didn't get them. But not every negative emotion is always a bad one. Sometimes it's a defense mechanism, sometimes it's very much deserved, and other times you're just a dick. Joining Amber and Ed this week is Nick Turner, The Queen of LPN Jackie Zebrowski, and my beautiful fiancé Miss Julie Rosing. Listen as they tackle such Bad Emotions as Insecurity, Cockiness, Being Judgmental, and Being Sensitive. Ok maybe they're more personality traits than emotions. What do you want from us? Also we wrap up the show we talk about our good buddy Jason Saenz, who needs some help right now. Here is a link to his GoFundMe. https://www.gofundme.com/jason-saenz-recovery-fund-aka-saenz-spinez And in honor of our bud we're being taken out by Five Man Electrical Band - Signs Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Brighter Side ad-free.Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.

But there really isn't that much good about the old white lady. If you or anyone you love is having a problem with drugs please call to get help. 1-888-633-3239.
