Coffee over Suicide

FRIDAY 7/19/19

Where do you even begin with someone as prolific as Greg Behrendt? The answer for me was to pick a spot and just let it unfold. The resulting conversation is as winding and varied as his career. We talk about our experiences with being bipolar, learning from disappointments and what you can learn about yourself from success. Of course we also touch on comedy, music and the omnipresent impact of his best seller "He's just not that into you".

Today on the show I talk to Dr. Joanne Lefebvre Connolly about growing up in Canada versus living in Florida, the mental health perils of working in veterinary medicine and the growing practice of humane, in-home euthanasia for domestic animals. We also discuss the societal and moral implications of applying this practice to people, going vegan and communing with nature. All of this and SO MUCH MORE!

FRIDAY!

Musician Chris Mercer of the band Sliver returns for a fiery conversation about the growing lack of empathy from Denverites who seem to prioritize magic mushrooms over the lives of the homeless. We talk about the very personal stakes he has in bringing awareness to youth homelessness in particular, the mental illness factors involved and the real dangers of toxic masculinity.
