Tristan regales his tales of a length problematic battle with the life on the road.

I mentioned the last episode that I had to go out of state, out of town to Indiana for a little bit of a an acting drip over acting drip and acting trip over the course of a few days.

And we're still sitting in the chair, chest held high, head held high, chest out.

You know what? Everything's held high because we walk on the world like you're a king because everything works out for you even when it doesn't.

People go, does everything really work out for you? Just keep saying you work out for you.

Truthfully, real quick, about the point of optimism, a lot of people ask me, Tristan, how do you stay so positive in such times of crisis and panic? And the phrase that I always say, that everything works out for me, I think it's twofold.

One, you can phrase it and look at it in the sense like everything works out for me, even the things that don't, they technically work out in my favor.

And you can look at that everything happens for a reason and everything sort of builds and I know everything's going to be okay.

Because it always is, isn't it? And even if it isn't, is it better to just assume that it's going to be until it's not? Instead of leaving this, well, what if it crashes and burns? What if my camera dies? You can't leave it there.

But two, you know, it's perspective and the sort of observation, the stuff that you look for.

It's like that test with, is it Tony Robbins? You know, or I don't know if he made it up.

I just saw him do it where they have somebody close their eyes and they say, hey, look around the room, find me everything that was orange.

And then people go, oh, I noticed that this this football was there and that Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Award was there.

And then you start thinking about some things like, was that really orange? Was a little bit red? I'm still going to call it because you're looking for it and you're trying to find it and you're trying to name some stuff.

And then with your eyes still closed, they go, OK, now name me everything that was purple.
