  • According, according to a new study, the rate of depression among men in America is at an all-time high.

  • Here to comment is our very own Marcelo Hernandez.

  • Colin, great to see you, Papa.

  • You're looking good, Colin.

  • Thank you very much.

  • It's always great to see you, Marcelo. So why do you think that men are depressed?

  • Colin, to understand why men are depressed, we have to first talk about women.

  • And I understand women.

  • Yeah, I don't know if you want to start with that.

  • No, Colin.

  • Like, I grew up with only women in my house, okay?

  • It was me, my mom, and my sister.

  • And then in high school, my mom's best friend and her daughter moved in.

  • So it was just me and four women.

  • And when that happens to you, Colin, when it's just you and four women, you have no choice but to become the man of the house.

  • Wrong.

  • To become a woman.

  • I was a woman for many years, Colin.

  • A proud Latina woman.

  • And I was living a double life, you know?

  • Because at school, I was captain of the soccer team, screaming at all the players, "You better play defense today!" And then I would get home, and my mom would be like, "Marcelo, how do I look?" And I would be like, "You look amazing, Mommy.

  • As a matter of fact, do me a favor.

  • Go back into your room and walk out again.

  • I want to see you again.

  • Where are you going?

  • The White House?

  • Is my mama going to meet the president?" And how does this relate to men being depressed?

  • Because, Colin, women support each other.

  • Men don't support each other.

  • That's why they're depressed.

  • A girl can tell her best friend anything, and she'll support it no matter what.

  • A girl will tell her best friend, she'll be like, "I'm dating this guy, and he robs banks." And then her friend will be like, "At least he has a passion." And you don't think that men are as supportive?

  • No, not at all.

  • That's why I don't go to the barbershop anymore, Colin.

  • It's a negative energy in there.

  • No one is happy to see you when you go to the barbershop.

  • Every time I go, the guy's like, "Look who it is.

  • We already told you, buddy, we can't make you taller." That's why a little prince like me goes to the salon, Colin.

  • I get to the salon, Colin, and the lady's like, "Where have you been?" And I'm like, "I don't know.

  • I missed you." Okay, the salon do be sounding kind of fire.

  • It do.

  • It do, Colin.

  • It do.

  • I'm just trying to say that women have support, okay?

  • When a woman goes through a breakup, all her friends show up.

  • When a guy goes through a breakup, his boys just act like his flight got delayed.

  • You'll be like, "Yo, I was in love with her, man.

  • Out of nowhere, she left me." And my best friend will be like, "Damn.

  • That sucks, bro.

  • Just go to Chili's and wait for the next one, my boy." And you would say this is the reason men are the most depressed they've ever been in history?

  • Yes, and also a variety of other psychological and genetic issues, but they're not as funny, and I don't have stand-up on that.

  • Marcel Hernandez, everyone.

  • I'm glowing.

  • I'm getting glowing.

  • I'm glowing.
