As someone who has struggled with anxiety pretty much my whole life, it is so refreshing listening to a podcast like this which talks about mental health in a very real and unstigmatised way. It's something so many people go through and it should be a normal thing to talk about without making someone feel like they are crazy or something is wrong with them. This is awesome! Please don't stop.
Didnt know of stephen prior to arrow. i would have still gave the arrow a try just because i am a comic head. However, i stayed with arrow every season because of stephen. He made the show, and if he is the lead for heels then im in. Nuff said
I just wrote about that. I have really bad attacks, and i found it quite helpful to hear someone experience something that people roll their eyes at me saying that i suffer from anxiety. Sucks for anyone to go through it but most of us do it in silence because people dont quite get how bad it affects people. Good luck to you
I met Stephen at Planet Comic Con a couple years ago. He was the nicest person ever. I was with my friends a guy and another girl and he greeted my guy friend FIRST. He Shook his hand and was so polite and when it came to us two girls he was a sweetheart. Meeting the Green Arrow was one of the best EVER. I FUCKING LOVE STEPHEN AMELL
@@ConnorMcCartney95 ok and? I finished it then commented. So you didn't know the context so i made it visible to you. It's best to not react to comments if u have no context.
Hey Michael, i don’t know If you read the comments but amazing podcast. I’ve listened to a few now and this is definitely my favorite because of how you treat and work with Stephen to discuss his lifestyle and even comfort him and give tips. Plus your funny ass commentary makes it much better. Well done my friend
My heart goes out to Stephen bc it gives you an insight on how it is for lead actors dealing with Arrow ending. His life for 8 years.... love you Stephen

@Titor all the time... As an Army Desert Storm combat veteran myself I want to thank you for your service and sacrifice brother! Also I totally get where your coming from with the panic attacks. Most of us suffer through them in some way.
@Titor all the time... the honor is all mine. The color of our uniforms may have been different but we all our brothers always! We were only accurate because of our crack fdc group. Without them we couldn't have brought the rain. You too have another brother now!
Hello from Canada. My name is Elena and I wanted to thank you so much for hosting this wonderful program. Your openness and vulnerability during this interview is incredibly touching and poignant. I greatly appreciate your work and efforts in destigmatizing mental health. I understand why Stephen Amell has such an open dialogue with you. You have a great ability to engage with your guest and make them innately feel comfortable with you and not judged for their innermost thoughts and feelings. I am a healthcare professional (I work as a Cardiology Technologist) and I often struggle with anxiety. I have recently taken up watercolour painting and drawing. I carry a sketchbook around in my scrubs pocket so I can draw at a moment's notice if life gets overwhelming. You are the first podcast that I have subscribed to and I am really looking forward to hearing all of your insights and thoughts. I am only in the first 1/2 of the podcast, but you can actually feel the exhaustion emanating from Mr. Amell. Panic attacks are excruciatingly painful and emotionally wounding and the kindness and compassion you showed to him during this vulnerable time is an example of how we all should treat each other as human beings. Please thank Mr. Amell for being so beautifully brave and open during this interview, and many thanks to you and Ryan for bringing such substantial insight to the humanness of others. All the best, from a forever fan in British Columbia. (Instagram: @elenastokes1)
I'm so glad I found this podcast. Stephen is a huge inspiration for me and this podcast just reflects why so much more. He is an amazing human being sometimes it helps knowing that even some of the greatest deal with mental battles. This keeps me fighting. I also have always enjoyed your work Michael Rosenbaum...I love what you are doing with this podcast! Cheers and glad I have something great to listen to while working.
Good stuff. Love this podcast. People don't always realize what stress and exhaustion can do to a person. Good on Amell for being real and not being afraid to open up about it.
I was looking for this interview thanks for posting this interview. What a journey Arrow has gone through. It definitely had it's ups and downs but it has created legacy and paved the wave for other shows like The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and now Batwoman and the upcoming Superman and Lois Lane. What I love about your interviews is that you bring a relaxing environment which is the best part about your podcast.
I met Stephen at Wizard World Louisville a few years ago and I was admittedly very excited and nervous since I'm a huge fan of the show but also because it's hard meeting someone whose work you admire and I always got the feeling Stephen was a great guy (I mean he runs a charity called Fuck Cancer) that does good. Even in interviews he holds himself and conducts himself in such a positive, honest way. So I was nervous meeting him (which thankfully I don't think he picked up but my friend who was with me did and she thought it was adorable). He was so earnest and kind and he not only took time to talk to me and shook my hand but he also shook my friend's hand and talked to her even though she wasn't getting anything signed. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had meeting someone I admire.
Its good to hear this side of hollywood. Thank you Michael and Stephen for sharing this with us. It lets us know that there is a price to pay to make these stories, shows, and movies.
100% I think working out is so important for stress, anxiety, mental health. Not only for circulation and endorphins but because it’s space to just be present in your body and not in your head. It’s an important break and escape from overthinking
Michael, as a person who has chronic anxiety and has had crippling anxiety attacks I just want to say how impressed I am with you as you talked about these topics and how you reacted to the situation. You responded like a trained mental health professional and as a respectful and understanding human being. I also want to say that I'm usually not a fan of podcasts because it feels too much like people talking AT one another. Your podcasts feel like two people talking TO one another. I felt like I was sitting in a living room on a couch, being myself and being open a comfortable and I was present for this conversation. I wasn't listening in or overhearing a conversation, I was part of it without saying a word. If I were to ever become someone that other people would want to hear me talk about I would gladly be a recurring guest on your show because it doesn't feel fake or like you're pushing a product or a narrative. You don't talk to stars, you're talking to people. A++ man!
I love that he was cool with leaving this in and coming back to finish this is such an important podcast episode because it shows men that you don’t have to keep pushing until you break and that putting self care first makes such a difference. Awesome episode xx
This interview was amazing to listen to! Thank you for being vulnerable and talking through it. It helped me to get through how I was feeling. Your honesty is something I really respect. You are an inspiration to me, and I hope that you have gotten through this with stronger relationships with yourself and your family. Thank you for everything you have done
You guys are motivating me to start working out again. It is the best medicine for so many illnesses. Hats off to Rosey for doing this and showing us that stars are also just humans. Very happy to find this channel.
Damn, really powerful podcast. Thought it was great for Michael to begin opening up too instead of constantly throwing questions at Stephen which ultimately could have made him worse. Hoping Stephen gets his well deserved break away with his family, as a huge fan of him and the show I can see that he definitely needs and deserves it
I cannot tell you just how much this show in particular has helped me realise I am not a total freak. I had one panic attack about 8 years ago and my boss literally sacked me the next day because she said I was there to support her, not the other way round - this is after years of working 24/7 for her (on call anytime of the day or night) and having excellent appraisals throughout my time, getting maximum bonuses etc. I could feel I waa very anxious and I went to the GP and was on the waiting list for a year at the point i had my first panic attack. Tbe fact she sacked me just like that sent me into a horrible panic attack spiral - months of panic attacks all day long - sweating, shaking, throwing up, loss of bladder control, etc. I found out I was pregnant with twins about a couple of weeks after I had lost my job and I think because my panic attacks were so severe, the constant adrenaline surges and I lost them both. I spent the next year unable to work and unable to even leave the house or do anything - a simple dentist appt or basic thing would set off more panic attacks. I spent the following three years going to work but still having panic attacks every single day (exhausting) and the past 4 years I have been doing my best to manage them. Honestly it would be far easier if I just gave up and finished everything. But listening to others going through this and that I am not alone and not a freak. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this on youtube. I love listening to this show and youtube is for whatever reason still the easiest way for me to listen to your show wherever I am. Lovin this ep.
As do I, when Michael decided to end videoing the podcasts, I was somewhat disappointed but understood the reasoning. Now that he may be bringing the videos back or as he mentions "trying it out", (which I guess he forgot he already did that before?), I'm excited again.
My Dad is emotional and I have seen him cry over the years but I vividly remember the first time I saw my father cry as a kid. I was around six and my dad picked up the phone and the sound that came out of him I've never heard before or since....it was so foreign that I laughed at him, thinking he was playing around. But then I saw the tears. He was wailing and utterly shocked and devastated. He had just found out his older brother had died. He was only around 30 or 40 something and healthy. We think it was a brain aneurysm and he was driving and crashed. I will never forget how horrified I felt when I was mocking my father when his world crashed around him.
Seriously, ever since I first saw by chance one of those videos of Michael with the rest of the Smallville cast I’ve been sooo impressed that I can’t get enough of him. It’s everything.... his sense of humor, his being so real, so honest, so down to earth... I just love him. It all started by watching videos of the panels, he mentioned the podcasts so I started listening and subscribed. They’re just great .... and now with that song at the end... I had to look it up and found out about Left on Laurel and now I can’t stop listening.... seriously... what is it about you Rosenbaum??? You’re incredible! I heard you liked Spanish so here it goes: Que mas te puedo decir? Me tienes totalmente cautivada! ☺️
I'm late to the party, just finding your show, working my way through your interviews. you really do a good job getting folks to open up. I really enjoyed the first two season of Arrow. Stephen and Manu were awesome. My daughter and I went through smallville then the first couple seasons of Arrow and Flash. Great memories! Your turn as Lex will forever be my favorite iteration of the character. We struggle with anxiety also, nothing fun about it that's for sure
I deal with anxiety everyday and I believe that the medication I've been taking for it for 20 years has made it exponentially worse. I still can't believe somebody like him could have an anxiety attack. No matter how bad your anxiety is do not resort to benzos. You'll be dealing with the original anxiety as well as withdrawal from the benzo.
I'm glad you recognized that there might be a problem with the medication. Find someone who can help you discuss other options. Don't give up until you've found something that you feel has actually helped you. You deserve it. Good luck.
"Somebody like him". This is why it was so important for Stephen to let this air. It shows that literally anyone can suffer from it even if they are a seemingly indestructible actor.
Crying is an emotion that everyone has a right too. Who ever said a man isn’t suppose too cry? My opinion on this matter is Bullshit. Crying isn’t just for women. Thank you Michael. It’s great too see you again. I also know that actors work very hard. I have a very special appreciation for our entertainers. And I also appreciate you.
@j p This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard "Men should only cry when a family member or pet is injured or killed." Completely emotionless. Are you serious? JP? Seriously? What happens when you win a tennis match? Something you worked hard for and you succeed? There are tears of joy! As for seeing nature or hearing music or something that fills you with dread... what about nostalgia? Reminiscing? Men can cry whenever they want. Humans are emotional beings, not robots.
@j p Weakness? Unlimited gender? What are you on about? No. Crying does not make you weak. It shows you are "vulnerable" and that shows trust. It shows openness and compassion. It seems you have a narrow view of what it means to be a man. It has been interesting to talk to you, but this conversation will now end. Your "binary" definition of what is means to be a man sounds damaging. Nothing is black and white. Goodbye.
As someone with a chronic anxiety problem, Its interesting to hear him experiencing the physical aspect of the start of a panic attack. For me, i know what is happening immediately and only worry im about to embarrass myself. I wonder if him saying "im going to walk" is the same thing as when i just want to get away and be alone. the more people start to panic as well and try to help the worse it gets. I hate becoming a spectacle. Big Fan of Stevens I will totally see his new show.
I have a lot of respect for Stephen for all what he been through. I know exactly how he felt because i've been there and done that same thing. It is not easy at all. I love him for that and wish him all the best.❤❤❤❤
Michael, you gotta watch out for those Xannie-Bars. Taking high doses for longer than a month will lead to physical addiction that, when it comes time to get off them, can actually kill you. On the other hand Opiate withdrawals as addictive as they are... The withdrawals wont actually kill you. You'll just wish you were dead... And when someone says, "I just gotta go. I just gotta go for a walk" like Stephen did at 31:10 thats called a panic attack. And panic attacks can come from depression and stress.
I think maybe talking about all the tough things that were happening to him and they day he was having already led to his panic attack. I know this was a year ago but I hope he’s better now
Radical Vlogs I agree, I’m into season 5 atm. Just started the flash cuz there have been so many crossovers that I needed to, lol. Arrow is every bit as good as I’d hoped. Amell and the cast have really done some great work and should be proud. Bravo! 😊
Hearing your podcast I found out I had a panic attack. My daughter was sick we went to the hospital. when they went to take some blood. I suddenly felt like I was going to throw up and I had cold sweats. I had to leave and catch my breath.
Michael you have to get a video of the podcast up. Or do you feel that it's more intimate with the guests to not have videos? Edit.....heard you are bringing video in future.....cool.
That feeling of not wanting to let people down... So you beat yourself up and go on like you're fine when you are completely off, and you literaly just want to shutdown... I just hope mr stephen is feeling better and better despite this pandemic... His wife is absolutely right... He owe it to himself, his kid and her. Take care of yourself sir.
I think Stephan should get best actor for his role in Arrow, I watched Arrow two times all the way through I hated that he was not in season 8 as much Arrow should be best movie ever
I have so much respect for Amell being so vulnerable and honest and willing to talk.
As someone who has struggled with anxiety pretty much my whole life, it is so refreshing listening to a podcast like this which talks about mental health in a very real and unstigmatised way. It's something so many people go through and it should be a normal thing to talk about without making someone feel like they are crazy or something is wrong with them. This is awesome! Please don't stop.
Same.
Didnt know of stephen prior to arrow. i would have still gave the arrow a try just because i am a comic head. However, i stayed with arrow every season because of stephen. He made the show, and if he is the lead for heels then im in. Nuff said

🤣
Why is him greeting the guy first significant
@@DaBearz-wt7xp Probably a cultural thing to acknowledge the doods first.
Respect to Amell for going forward on the podcast. And awesome as ever Rosenbaum!
@@ConnorMcCartney95 What are you trying to accomplish with this comment?
@@ConnorMcCartney95 i meant with him having a panic attack and allowing the podcast to go on. Most people just close it off, like Joe Rogan.
@@ConnorMcCartney95 ok and? I finished it then commented. So you didn't know the context so i made it visible to you. It's best to not react to comments if u have no context.
Thanks to michael and above all to stephen for being so open about his state of mind after 8 seasons of arrow.
I am so happy you posted this. I am such a huge fan of both of you. Panic attacks are no joke. This story is truly inspiring.
This episode touched the heart man. You help a lot of people that need it. You are Superman to a lot of us.

I really like the structure of conversation. Really relaxing to listen to and really informative. So cool that you spotlighted panic attacks
@Titor all the time... As an Army Desert Storm combat veteran myself I want to thank you for your service and sacrifice brother! Also I totally get where your coming from with the panic attacks. Most of us suffer through them in some way.
@Titor all the time... I was with the 2nd Batallion/ 29th FA. After that I spent the rest of my tour in Baumholder Germany.

Rosenbaum, Welling and Amell should do a buddy pic.
DC Gang
Add Justin Hartley, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padelecki 😊😊
add Jensen and Jared. They're all friends :)
Nah they need to do a buddy movie, for example a road trip together and film it all.
I cried listening to this.Thanks Rosey and Stephan. It really gave me a new perspective on things. Helped me when I really needed it.
Good stuff. Love this podcast. People don't always realize what stress and exhaustion can do to a person. Good on Amell for being real and not being afraid to open up about it.

Dude, get lost!
Love to see that celebs can come to this podcast and be themselves and talk freely.
What a sweetheart! Anyone who is a real human being understands that you have immense pressure on you at all times. Thanks for a raw, genuine podcast.

"If I walk across the street, a stunt double better be there." 😂😂😂 Favorite thing I've heard you say yet!
Its good to hear this side of hollywood. Thank you Michael and Stephen for sharing this with us. It lets us know that there is a price to pay to make these stories, shows, and movies.

Its very real and humbling to see a well known actor might have the same struggles you do.
This is still easily the best/realest episode to date. 10/10
It takes strength and courage to be vulnerable. Thank you to the both of you for sharing.
This interview was amazing to listen to! Thank you for being vulnerable and talking through it. It helped me to get through how I was feeling. Your honesty is something I really respect. You are an inspiration to me, and I hope that you have gotten through this with stronger relationships with yourself and your family. Thank you for everything you have done
Pretty cool that the guy came back after that...Respect!!!!!! Great episode...
So appreciate Stephen Amell, appreciate the honesty. Thank you again Michael.
You guys are motivating me to start working out again. It is the best medicine for so many illnesses. Hats off to Rosey for doing this and showing us that stars are also just humans. Very happy to find this channel.
"I'm monitoring levels. Lay off." 😂😂😂 -Every technical person on earth. Right on, Ryan!
Damn, really powerful podcast. Thought it was great for Michael to begin opening up too instead of constantly throwing questions at Stephen which ultimately could have made him worse. Hoping Stephen gets his well deserved break away with his family, as a huge fan of him and the show I can see that he definitely needs and deserves it
Michael is really good with also opening up on his pod casts. He might be running the interviews, but he really is a part of them as well.
Thanks for posting this!

Love that show. Congratulations to you all Rosenbaum for the show and Amell for being so open and have the guys to come back.
I cannot tell you just how much this show in particular has helped me realise I am not a total freak.
I had one panic attack about 8 years ago and my boss literally sacked me the next day because she said I was there to support her, not the other way round - this is after years of working 24/7 for her (on call anytime of the day or night) and having excellent appraisals throughout my time, getting maximum bonuses etc.

Excellent podcast, gentlemen. Putting that out there for the world is amazing. This could help a lot of people. Love your work - both of you.
I miss seeing the video of this podcast!
Sounds like he may be bringing that back I think he made a comment at the start somewhere.
How do we get it back?
There's no video at all or is it behind a paywall or something?
As do I, when Michael decided to end videoing the podcasts, I was somewhat disappointed but understood the reasoning. Now that he may be bringing the videos back or as he mentions "trying it out", (which I guess he forgot he already did that before?), I'm excited again.
Yeee

I deal with anxiety everyday and I believe that the medication I've been taking for it for 20 years has made it exponentially worse.
I still can't believe somebody like him could have an anxiety attack.
No matter how bad your anxiety is do not resort to benzos.
You'll be dealing with the original anxiety as well as withdrawal from the benzo.
I'm glad you recognized that there might be a problem with the medication. Find someone who can help you discuss other options. Don't give up until you've found something that you feel has actually helped you. You deserve it. Good luck.

Listening again. Still the best podcast in the series.
lol, when he said, 'is it hot in here?' the first thing i do when i would have panic attacks is put ice on me and get a super cold shower.
Listening from 2022, my first was shit he got Covid 😅😅😅😅 and then check the date of this video 😅😅😅
I absolutely fucking love this podcast‼️
Both of you THANK YOU for sharing your stories and experiences. I appreciate this so much ❤️💕
Love you Steven, hope you do well in other things in your life
Loved this show, Stephen was great and I loved Ryans reply to the he only speaks 3 words. He used 5 "I'm checking Levels, Lay off" Still succulent
As someone with a chronic anxiety problem, Its interesting to hear him experiencing the physical aspect of the start of a panic attack. For me, i know what is happening immediately and only worry im about to embarrass myself. I wonder if him saying "im going to walk" is the same thing as when i just want to get away and be alone. the more people start to panic as well and try to help the worse it gets. I hate becoming a spectacle. Big Fan of Stevens I will totally see his new show.
John Talks: “IT happened towards the end of the podcast”
Me: clicks on top of it, not actually knowing what I was doing but by heart I guess 😂
I have a lot of respect for Stephen for all what he been through. I know exactly how he felt because i've been there and done that same thing. It is not easy at all. I love him for that and wish him all the best.❤❤❤❤
Stephen Amell is my Hero 💚🏹🎯💪
Just watching this now, and holy shit, this guy is fucking incredible
Michael, you gotta watch out for those Xannie-Bars. Taking high doses for longer than a month will lead to physical addiction that, when it comes time to get off them, can actually kill you.
On the other hand Opiate withdrawals as addictive as they are... The withdrawals wont actually kill you. You'll just wish you were dead...
And when someone says, "I just gotta go. I just gotta go for a walk" like Stephen did at 31:10 thats called a panic attack. And panic attacks can come from depression and stress.
This podcast is amazing, you show us the human behind our superhero’s
I love when he says he falls asleep to podcasts because I do that too but I don’t listen to podcasts I just pull up arrow on Netflix
we need to introduce stephen amell to THE BUGEZ
Great podcast.
why are all the video podcasts gone??
I love the show Smallville
I miss Arrow that show helped me a lot 😭
This is amazing
I think maybe talking about all the tough things that were happening to him and they day he was having already led to his panic attack. I know this was a year ago but I hope he’s better now
I love you Michael ❤️
Dr Tessler was my psychiatrist as a child. Great guy.
I was never interested in watching arrow, until now. Amell seems like a genuinely good guy. I’ll definitely ck it out, now 👍👏👏👏
You should definitely watch the first two seasons. Especially the second season, one if the best seasons of comic book tv.
Radical Vlogs I agree, I’m into season 5 atm. Just started the flash cuz there have been so many crossovers that I needed to, lol. Arrow is every bit as good as I’d hoped. Amell and the cast have really done some great work and should be proud. Bravo! 😊
Hearing your podcast I found out I had a panic attack. My daughter was sick we went to the hospital. when they went to take some blood. I suddenly felt like I was going to throw up and I had cold sweats. I had to leave and catch my breath.
34:57 We all know he doesn't wash his hands anyway, because he's EVIL
Good shit.
1:18:41
thanks bro
Only Michael would advise glasses on a full audio podcast
If your pod was video I would watch every episode. I never come here because I dont listen to audio only stuff but just wanted to give you feedback.
Michael you have to get a video of the podcast up. Or do you feel that it's more intimate with the guests to not have videos? Edit.....heard you are bringing video in future.....cool.
That feeling of not wanting to let people down... So you beat yourself up and go on like you're fine when you are completely off, and you literaly just want to shutdown... I just hope mr stephen is feeling better and better despite this pandemic... His wife is absolutely right... He owe it to himself, his kid and her. Take care of yourself sir.
Fucking awesome show bro! For real
You gotta interview Rachel Bloom
When is the question that Stephen answer that he said it'll be phisicly irresponsible for him to not make season 8??
55:45
@@bmvthemoviefanatic7282 thank you
He must be a producer of Arrow to call shots
You’d be surprised how a ton of actors wield power behind the scenes
Captain Amell, we love you.
Who thinks Grant should do a podcast with Michael?
Just finished watching the one that went up 2 days ago. :) SO good. Love Grant.
I think Stephan should get best actor for his role in Arrow, I watched Arrow two times all the way through I hated that he was not in season 8 as much Arrow should be best movie ever
Take that fucking break bro!!! I finally made the decision this year to finally take more than a week off from work in a long while!
I don't know much but were are the rest of the episodes????
I really miss you as lex luthor
Sounds like he wants to look how he looked on arrow season 5
man i prefer seeing them and hearing.
I soooo agree with Stephen on the death of arrow being not satisfying
I’m catching up on this podcast. Is Rob not doing it anymore??
no video?
Hahahahah stephen pointed out how wrong the scripts were and they still couldnt get it right
no video
