In this episode there aren't as many laughs as the subject matter is very serious and I wanted to make sure that it was taken as such. Next episode we will return to the normal nutty, but this topic was inspired by the passing of Anthony Bourdain who committed suicide only a week after famed designer Kate Spade did.

We may joke around with the deathpool because it's our way of handling the passing of famous people, but it's different when it's not from a accident or natural causes. When it's something that can be prevented it puts everything into a whole new light and that is why I thought it important to cover here. In this clip I will give you not only my experience and opinion on the subject, but also hopefully some resources that could be helpful should you or someone you love ever be in need of them.

Remember that you're not alone and there are people out there who care about you and want to help you, even strangers who care! Take this message and please forward it to others, I know we've said like, share and comment before, but especially on this topic we want to see it reach as many people as possible in the hopes that it can help at least one person who might be in need.

In this episode Shaggy talks about a problem occurring all over the United States, the death of the Mall. Back in the 80s and 90s it was the place to hang out and what some would consider a second home, but now they look more like ghost towns than locations of commerce.

So what are we to do with these massive structures and huge black eyes, usually on great land with lots of space? Shaggy gives you what one answer could be.

Originally this was going to just be a quick episode about my upcoming trip on Saturday but then I realized it was way too short so I added in another episode I recorded Friday. So your two topics for this combined episode are my upcoming trip to rediscover family AND the swatting of David Hogg and how I wish we would stop calling crimes pranks.

In this On the Road Again segment Shaggy goes over a lesson for couples, or really anyone in a relationship. It's one about weighing how much a solution costs vs the cost of having a fight. Giving some examples from his own life you'll see sometimes maybe a hit to the checkbook is softer than the couch.
