Our Strange State

Is a campaign video useful during a pandemic? Should we see a hero recap video during press briefings at the White House? We go over the Trump COVID-19 press briefing where he went over his greatest hits and told a reporter she’s stupid. Standard day if you ask us. Nothing surprises us anymore. Is Trump off his rocker more than usual?

Mike explains his experience of calling supporters of Pete’s campaign in preparation for an upcoming rally…that never actually happened. Pete suspended his campaign just a few hours after Mike made almost a hundred (useless) phone calls. Hear all about Mike’s experience, as well as a little jabbing at the campaign for maybe wasting his time??? Enjoy!

COVID 19, or coronavirus. Should I worry or should I not? We don’t have all the answers to any of these questions, but we do have some great thoughts on what we would do. And, of course, wonder what Trump is thinking when he says outlandish things about the virus.

Jeremy and Katt from New View Healing Solutions join us at the table for a discussion on trauma and how it affects mental health. We discuss the purpose of mental health education, counseling, and self-awareness. We look at everything from day-to-day life, to how to cope with COVID-19 related stressors and the brave new world we find ourselves in. Join us and let us know how you’re managing your mental wellbeing. This was a really eye-opening and enjoyable podcast to create. We can’t wait to have them back to see how Mike and Jeremy’s.challenge ends.

We had an amazing conversation with Alex, the president of Oklahoma Atheists, to discuss the importance of church/state separation and her organization’s efforts to reach out to beyond the statehouse to the community at large. She let us in on some poor legislation and upcoming events. Let us know what you think about the issue!

Join Mike and Brett as we discuss what longterm solutions and life with COVID 19 will look like. What are the economic and human impacts for our shelter in place orders and will the virus rebound and be a rollercoaster for the foreseeable future? Is this something we will have to deal with for years or will there be a medical breakthrough?

Clayton joins us for a discussion about what it means to be in the service industry as a barber during a pandemic shut down. He goes into detail on what it means to be a good patron for barbers and generally sends positive vibes out during this negative time. He also goes into great depth on how medical marijuana has greatly improved his sleep schedule, weight, and quality of life. We had a great time with him and can't wait to have him back on the show.

Everywhere you look today in the United States, it seems like people are just fighting. Just hurling insults around and never taking the time to listen to the other side. Is this extremism something new? Is this the worst it’s ever been? And, more importantly, is there any hope at all of fixing it?

Join Brett and Mike as they go over their research and try to make a little sense out of Our Strange State.
