Ep. 2 - Fragility

Ep. 2 - Fragility

Today I talk a little about the fear in posting a podcast; there was a fatal shooting involving a member of the University of Alabama men's basketball team which sparks conversation about the mental fragility of men today; I discuss some personal problems I'm having as I get older and the intrusive thoughts I have to learn to control; January was the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's tragic death, and I didn't understand how much it actually affected me; and a video I saw going viral about DJ Twitch makes me question the toxicity of the internet and how that is a direct manifestation of the fragility of man.

Why were you so impacted by the death of a celebrity stranger, and how did this change you? Let's Talk!

Ep. 1 - Five

This is it! The first episode of the Big Mad! Experience.   Today we start with a little bit about what The Big Mad! is and what I'm trying to accomplish; we introduce the relevance of the "Five"; we talk about the state of mental health for Generation X; we delve into some questions found on the internet to see if we can figure out why we're all so mad all the time; and I challenge you to build new habits. Go to Spotify to answer this episodes question: What is currently your biggest source of stress and anxiety, and how are you managing that today?  Let's Talk!

Trailer: Let's Talk

Welcome to the first taste of the "Big Mad!" Experience podcast with your host Baer. In this show I will be exploring the changing world and discussing pop-culture, news, and sports in a way to encourage men to accept mental health improvement and self-care. You're a fly on the wall of my internal dialog, so you get to see you're not meant to walk alone. I need friends, you need friends. So let's talk.  Music licensed via Audiohero is "Fresh Out of Luck" by Edward Paul Grenga et al:
