Welcome back to Cool Hand Dross — a candid, comical, and compassionate podcast about mental health, books, culture, and the stories we carry.

In Episode 6, host Scott Drosselmeier weaves together panic attacks at 3:37am, Star Wars, Andor’s quiet rebellion, the poem Invictus, and a true childhood story about saving his brother’s life.

For nearly two years, Scott lived with daily anxiety and predawn panic attacks. To protect his young son, he and his wife created a gentle lie: the noises in the hallway weren’t Dad, it was Chewbacca.

From there, the episode becomes a meditation on endurance, identity, fatherhood, and unseen heroism — drawing parallels between Invictus, Cassian Andor’s moral awakening, and the invisible strength of people who quietly carry the weight for others.

Resist and Multiply.
