On the Road Again (6/15/2018) - A discussion regarding suicide

In this episode there aren't as many laughs as the subject matter is very serious and I wanted to make sure that it was taken as such. Next episode we will return to the normal nutty, but this topic was inspired by the passing of Anthony Bourdain who committed suicide only a week after famed designer Kate Spade did.

We may joke around with the deathpool because it's our way of handling the passing of famous people, but it's different when it's not from a accident or natural causes. When it's something that can be prevented it puts everything into a whole new light and that is why I thought it important to cover here. In this clip I will give you not only my experience and opinion on the subject, but also hopefully some resources that could be helpful should you or someone you love ever be in need of them.

Remember that you're not alone and there are people out there who care about you and want to help you, even strangers who care! Take this message and please forward it to others, I know we've said like, share and comment before, but especially on this topic we want to see it reach as many people as possible in the hopes that it can help at least one person who might be in need.
