Stop Drop & Roll Through Suicidal Crisis: Frank King Returns
Show NotesIn this return interview, Frank King and Elaine dig into the hard truths behind suicide: respect for those who left, the lie of burdensomeness, and the monumental power of simply asking the question. Frank introduces a crisis tool — Stop, Drop & Roll — to interrupt suicidal impulses. They also explore the role of animals, peer connection, and compassionate confrontation in keeping people alive. This episode is raw, real, and full of tools for anyone walking in shadow.
💥 What We Talk About:
- Respect: do those who die by suicide deserve it?
- Inside vs outside perspectives on selfishness / selflessness
- How to join the conversation someone is having in their head
- Why naming “suicide” helps more than hurts
- The Stop, Drop & Roll method for crisis moments
- The healing power of pets, rescue, and connection
- Real stories of confronting someone’s despair — and saving lives
- Frank’s daily goal: “save a life a day”
Bio
Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39.
His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like.
Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations.
He’s shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson.
On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.
