00:00I was in the kitchen, and my iPhone buzzed.

00:06Don't know if you heard, but Scott Pinney

00:08passed away last night.

00:10We're trying to get a hold of his wife and parents.

00:16It didn't make any sense.

00:18Text message made no sense.

00:21He was in Kona, and he did what we did together a lot.

00:26He went for a run.

00:29From what I understand, he had a cardiac event,

00:31a heart arrhythmia.

00:33He didn't make it.

00:37We became great friends.

00:39He's always taken care of me.

00:42And I just really, I really love the guy,

00:45and I appreciate you making the best man.

00:48It means a lot to me.

00:50It was the first time somebody meaningful and significant

00:54currently in my life had just vanished.

01:05There's no right way to grieve, I don't think.

01:09I can tell you what my experience was like.

01:13And we did that by drinking a lot of gin and tonics,

01:18because that was kind of Scott's drink.

01:21You know, now, with hindsight,

01:23that's not a successful coping mechanism.

01:26But that's where I went quite a bit.

01:30It was a way to not fully experience

01:33the overwhelming pain of loss.

01:38I had mentioned to him, talking to a therapist,

01:43just because I just could tell, like, he was hurting.

01:47As we were working through this, my therapist said,

01:50would you ever consider going to see a psychiatrist, you know,

01:54that might be able to put you on an antidepressant?

01:57And I was like, I don't think I can.

01:59I was like, why don't you consider it, you know?

02:02Not realizing the implications at all.

02:05And he, like, you know, is, like, forceful with his,

02:08like, kind of just like, no, I can't do that.

02:11Based on your research, what would be potential consequences

02:15if you were to get on an SSR?

02:18I would immediately not be able to fly airplanes.
