This week we reconnect with past guest Riley and hear about what it's like to be newly married, get some updates on life on the homestead, and hear about his fossil and crystal hunting adventures. Riley also shares his story of being accused of a bomb threat in grade school and what it was like being interrogated by the principal. He also shares his personal mental health journey and his decision to try electro convulsive therapy to treat his depression.
