Thrones is back baby! We got twists and turns, conflict, politickin, and most of all… We got Ghost, alive and well. RIP Rhaegal and Missandei, but as Ghost lives so do our hearts. Listen in as hosts, Nathan Carroll and Tyler Mathern are joined by first time guest, Alex Lakatos and recurring guest Nick Carannante for a complete breakdown of “The Last of the Starks.” 

Our communities define us and who we are. When our community is attacked, we stand up and fight for them. When our community is hurt, we help them heal. Our communities define so much of who we are and what we value. It’s important that we are cognisant of the impact our communities have, and we place ourselves into the best situations to help us grow and flourish. Today’s Monday Message is all about community and how we can use our communities to help build ourselves up. 

In the second part of UFR’s Relationships series, hosts, Nathan Carroll and Tyler Mathern are joined by first-time guests, Rex Bartlett and Brandon Boehnke, to talk about the art of flirting.The quartet discusses things that have worked, things that haven’t worked, and ultimately provide advice for those seeking counsel in the ways of moving from “never met” to “in a relationship.” 

The Battle of Winterfell came and went. No one of importance has died, and we are left with the shadow of the Night King. The greatest villain to walk television was defeated, and his legacy will be 8 seasons of hype, lifting his arm, and a GIF-able dance of him raising said arms. The Battle of Winterfell left us wondering what happened to the Game of Thrones we once knew and loved. 

To a certain extent, we all deal with being anxious. For some, it is a fleeting sense of worry, and for others, it is a tidal wave of overwhelming fear. Regardless of the extent you deal with anxiety, it is a problem and is worth addressing. In this episode of UFR Monday Message, we talk about the ways we deal with anxiety and our focus on self instead of an outward showing of love and empathy which can help deal with our feelings of being out of control. 

In the first part of UFR’s Relationships, hosts, Nathan Carroll and Tyler Mathern discuss what friendship looks like and how we separate the level of friends we have in our life. What makes a good friend a lifelong friend? Why do certain people maintain a connection, while we won’t hear from others for months? Why do friends in college feel different than in High School? Listen in for thoughts from our hosts, and give us your thoughts and opinions on social media. 

The calm before the storm has come and gone. All that waits now is the waging of war, and the only winner is death. We knew Episode 3 would be our battle episode, and the precursor was one last hoorah for all the characters we love whose death is sure to come. Sir Lady Brienne of Tarth, Edd, Gendry, even Tormund. So many characters we love are sure to be gone by next week, so let’s do them one last solid during today’s podcast. 

The goal is to be the best version of ourselves as possible. How do we get there? In this episode of the UFR Monday Message, host, Nathan Carroll, discusses the ways he’s found to hold yourself accountable in being the best version of yourself you can be. By setting standards for yourself and those around you, you put yourself on a path to happiness… Also, Nathan gives away money to our listeners. 

It came and it was incredible. The most anticipated 54 minutes of television ever hit us Monday night and there was plenty to discuss. Recurring guest, Nick Carannante, joins hosts, Nathan Carroll and Tyler Mathern as they discuss all episode one had to offer, possible foreshadowing for future episodes and what to ultimately expect in the next four weeks. Winter is here, and when you play the game of thrones you either win, or you die. 

At the start of every day, you make a choice. You make a decision on the type of day you are going to have. Often times, we put ourselves in a negative mindset and focus on any unforeseen problems we may face. Instead, let’s flip our mindset and embrace all the good in all our days. On today’s Monday Message we dive into using our mindset to better our life at whole.
