Threads Podcast: Life Unfiltered

Mike joins us for a conversation about some pretty big topics, but also many laughs along the way! We start things off with a heated match of Office Trivia, and then launch into the deep end. Talking about deep stuff with friends is very cathartic -- we hope that listening feels that way, too!

-----
You'll hear stories about real people who have dealt with depression, anxiety, addiction, self-doubt, or any other struggle they've faced on their journey through life. It doesn't matter where you are in your own story - there's something for everyone on this show!

Recently, Ben made the decision to stop going to seeing his therapist weekly. Out of care and concern for his bestie, Jason questioned whether that was the right move. This conversation came to a head when the guys sat down to record, and they inadvertently recorded this episode in addition the planned one!

David Tiesma, friend of the show and host of the Watch Your Mouth Podcast, takes over as host of Threads on this episode. We start out with a game to see who knows the other person better, Ben or Jason. Any guesses who won?? Then, David led us through a discussion in which we answered questions of varying depth. Though it was admittedly weird to turn over the reins as hosts, Ben and Jason had a great time recording this episode. 

Special thanks to David for making this happen! Check out his show, Watch Your Mouth Podcast, at https://anchor.fm/watchyourmouthpod!

Rissa Reel is a domestic abuse survivor and mental health advocate. She took an 800 mile walk across America as a way to work through her trauma and raise awareness about mental health. Jason and Ben were amazed by her maturity and outlook on life. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with Rissa!

On this episode, we gave shout outs to the people and things that have helped us become who we are today. Our shout outs stretch throughout our lives and are given to abusive parents (yes, really), women pastors, quality friends, fitness tools, and of course our wives. We wouldn't be where we are today without y'all! 

You'll also hear about WHOOP, the fitness tracker (and so much more) that we all use. Get a free WHOOP 4.0 and your first month free when you join with my link: https://join.whoop.com/#/26368E

Buckle up, this episode is a bit of a doozy! Ben and Jason catch up on life and along the way debrief some challenges they encountered in their friendship. Listen in as Ben shares how his bike was stolen, and returned! Jason shares about how things are going in his relationships as he seeks to be more calm and level headed. The guys also explore some ongoing conversations between them and their friend Mike, who Ben went to college with. 

Ben and Jason wrap things up by giving a mental health update. Ben went completely off script, which threw Jason for a loop! 

On this show we mention this scale that Mike encouraged Ben to buy -- check it out, it is amazing: https://amzn.to/39cCj1k

Sometimes you need a space to just get everything off your chest. That is what this episode was for Ben & Jason. This episode was recorded after the governing bodies of two local counties were angrily confronted by anti-maskers. We debrief some of their comments and offer our own opinions on current events.

Gear up for some seriously unfiltered conversation. We let it all out there and you're left to sort it together and make sense of it. Have fun with that ;-)

It is so great to reconnect with former guests! Listen as Megan D. catches us up on her mental health journey. In addition to focusing on her mental health, Megan has also been an ongoing source of behind the scenes encouragement to Jason and Ben as they continue to grind away at producing Threads. It was a blast having her back in studio. Her authenticity is refreshing!

If you are in the Grand Rapids area and need work done on your vehicle, be sure to take it to Ervines Auto Repair and say hi to Megan while you're there.
