  • The Anniversary of a Lifetime

    After years of me putting up emotional barriers, subconsciously sabotaging our friendship and generally being terrible, I can officially say that my girlfriend Alex and I have just celebrated out two year anniversary! In this episode, I talk about how Alex and I have gotten to where we are, and how unsexy a story the beginning really was.

  • Whale Penises and Taking it Easy

    The title says it all. What more do you want from me? Oh… you want a proper description. Fine. This week I talk about a feeling of existential dread and numbness that’s been overtaking my life. It’s not all depressing as there is whale penis talk, but it isn’t the most upbeat episode. I just talk about pushing through the hard times and remaining optimistic for whatever’s coming next.

  • How Can I Actually Help People?

    In this episode, I ask existential questions about why I do what I do, how this podcast can help people and how I can reach more people outside of the podcast. People deal with too many mental health struggles alone and I want to help, but deciding if I’m the type of person to help or not is hard. I just want people to be happy and I want to make the world a better place.

  • How Humor Makes Life a Little Easier

    A lot of people use humor to cope with different situations, and because of that, some people have developed a range of darkness in their jokes. In this episode, I dive into why people might feel the way that they do when it comes to jokes, and reference prominent stand-up comedians and how they can find comedy in even the darkest of times.

  • Current Events: Sometimes Knowing Less is More

    Staying up to date on what’s happening in the world is important, but so is your own mental health. This week, I talk about how sometimes being up to date can be put on the back burner for a little bit if you need to focus on yourself.

  • Finding Joy in Everyday Things

    Welcome to another episode of Acceptable Madness. Thanks for tuning in as I talk about random shit and how it makes me less suicidal. This week, I talk about how I’ve been finding happiness in everyday things. I know you could tell that from the title, but that’s fine. I told you here too and that works.

  • Making Mistakes Is Okay

    This week, I talk about my long history of mistakes, mostly with people, and how I have learned from them to work on future relationships. The short and sweet lesson is, learn from your mistakes, even if that’s as cliché as cliché ‘s come.

  • Emotional Outlets and Their Importance in Mental Health

    Sorry for this episode being a few days late. I just moved into a new place and didn’t have internet until today. For this episode, I talk about how I discovered my emotional outlets, along with how important they have become in helping me truly discover who I am.

  • Avoiding Complacency Like the Plague

    Life is a real jerk. It’ll kick you, then spit on you, then kick you again, then steal yo girl and skip away while laughing like a toddler who just saw a cartoon cat get outsmarted by a mouse. It’s easy to let life get you down so that you lose ambition and become complacent with yourself, and this is how I try to avoid succumbing to it.

  • How to Balance Work and Play

    Figuring out how to exist as a barely functioning adult in society is as hard as anything you’ll ever deal with in your life. Trying to figure out how to do it effectively is even harder. And trying to figure out how to do it, and have a good work/play/family/friend/hobby/exercise balance is like defusing a bomb with a sock puppet. It’s almost impossible, and I’m pretty sure no one actually knows how to do it.

Welcome to Acceptable Madness! My name is Scott McKinney and I have no problem admitting that I struggle with depression, and you know what? That's okay. I like using my words as an emotional outlet to talk through whatever struggles I'm having. I hope that I can use my experiences and words to help you too in this judgement-free zone. Enjoy the show and I hope you leave happier than you were when you got here.
