The David Lee Show

Join "Coach" Bruce Trammell and Dr. Asbery for a candid discussion about the importance of wearing masks and dealing with our mental health.  As men, and as black men in particular, we face greater health challenges as it relates to our mental health.  Most of us work too hard keeping things inside.  We carry so much unnecessary weight on our backs.  This is because we fail to talk about our problems.  We have to find a way to make talking about our problems, "sexy and cool".  This podcast is an attempt at removing the stigma of talking about your problems. This podcast is about getting men to realize that it's okay to reach out and talk about their past, and about the present.  This will enable men to carve out a brighter and more healthy future.

This week Dr. Asbery and "Coach Bruce Trammell sit down with former gang member and now community activist and candidate for Senate, Dr. Josiah Israel.  Dr. Israel talks about his life as a gang member and how devastating it is to live through the aftermath of gang violence.  In addition, Dr. Asbery talks to a mother (Wanda) who had to make one of the hardest decisions of her life.  She had to let her son go...to the streets.  His decision, not hers.  Thankfully, her son found his way back.  Unfortunately, many of our kids are not so lucky.  These stories are important in that they will help parents to understand what needs to be done when dealing with our youth's infatuation with gang life, street life, and all the bad that comes with it. What a powerful show.

For this episode, Dr. Asbery links up with "Coach" Bruce Trammell to talk about the significance of fatherhood.  Research shows that a father's love is just as important to the overall health and well-being of a child as a mother’s love.  This week’s show is an attempt to deliver the message to the world that father's count.  We want to acknowledge and point out to fathers that though they bring a significantly different set of parenting skills to the table, these skills are desperately needed.  So, if you know of a father who needs a pick-me-up or some inspiration, please forward this show to him because his child, needs his love, his involvement, his insight, and his protection.  We can all agree that a mother's love can never be replaced.  However, here at the David Lee Show, we simply say, "ditto!"  A father's love can also never be replaced.

What happened to that guy that everyone thought was so cool?  He had the clothes, the car, the jewelry, and of course, the women. (plenty of them!)  Way before the show, "The Bachelor" there were men who live their lives on their own terms. These men were unforgivingly selfish and would never consider saying sorry for their lifestyles.  You had no choice in the matter.  You either accepted his life choices, or you moved on without him.  For this show, Dr. Asbery talks to a man who lived the life of a Bachelor, Mr. Bruce Trammell.  What a time we had!
