GET READY for this week's episode. Frank King is here. Frank King isn’t just a comedian, he’s a mental health advocate who has survived the darkest places and turned them into conversations that save lives. In this episode, Frank gets radically honest about depression, suicidal thoughts, and why laughing about hard things doesn’t make them less serious, it makes them survivable. We talk about how humor became his lifeline, what people get wrong about mental health, and how to speak up when your brain is telling you to stay silent. This episode is deep, uncomfortable, hopeful, and unexpectedly funny in the way only Frank can deliver.

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Frank King, mental health comedian, speaker, and suicide prevention advocate, for one of the most important episodes of the season. Frank opens up about his lived experience with depression and suicidal ideation, sharing what it’s really like to live with a brain that can turn against you even when life looks successful from the outside. He explains how comedy became both a coping mechanism and a bridge, a way to talk about pain without pushing people away. We dive into the questions most people are afraid to ask: how do you know when thoughts become dangerous, why do so many people suffer in silence, what should you actually say to someone who’s struggling, and why “just be positive” never works. Frank breaks down the myths around mental health, the damage caused by stigma, and why checking in on people isn’t optional, it’s lifesaving. He shares practical tools, honest truths, and moments of humor that make heavy topics feel human, accessible, and real. This episode isn’t about glamorizing pain, it’s about survival, honesty, and choosing to stay when leaving feels easier. It’s about using laughter not to hide the darkness, but to shine a light inside it.

This episode discusses mental health, depression, and suicide prevention. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek professional help or local support resources. This is not just an episode, it’s a conversation that can change how you think, speak, and show up for yourself and others. Press play & Enjoy!!!!

I’ve been quiet and the internet noticed. In this raw unfiltered solo episode I’m finally breaking the silence. As we step into 2026 I address the fan allegations the questions the side eye and the whispers about why I disappeared at the beginning of the year. Where did I go why did everything shift and why do I sound move and show up differently. This episode is me telling the truth. I open up about what really happened behind the scenes the internal changes no one saw and the intentional distance I had to create to grow. This is not a rebrand for aesthetics it is an evolution rooted in clarity boundaries and self respect. I talk about outgrowing old versions of yourself letting go of people who only knew the old you and choosing silence when explaining yourself would have drained you. I also address the new style the new energy and the creative direction moving forward and why growth does not need permission or approval. This is not a comeback episode it is a confirmation. I break down why I went silent at the beginning of 2026 what that silence taught me and I respond directly to fan allegations and online assumptions. I explain what changed internally versus what people only see externally and why choosing evolution over explanation became necessary. This episode is for anyone who has been accused of changing and actually did for anyone entering a new season without feeling the need to explain themselves for anyone who has been quiet healing rebuilding or re strategizing and for anyone done shrinking for familiarity. Press play if you want an honest vulnerable solo conversation closure on the silence clarity on what is next motivation to embrace growth even when it makes people uncomfortable and a reminder that evolution does not owe anyone comfort. This episode sets the tone for 2026 new year new energy same voice just sharper xoxo Jayson K. Enjoy!!!

Earth is officially in its flop era, and this is not a joke. In this Spotify Special Episode, Jayson K steps behind the mic for a solo conversation about something bigger than trends, algorithms, or internet culture — the planet we are slowly destroying while pretending everything is fine. This episode is a raw and honest POV on climate change, environmental neglect, and why conservation can no longer be treated as a “future problem.” From collapsing ecosystems and disappearing wildlife to pollution, deforestation, and climate anxiety, Jayson breaks down why Earth is struggling and how human behavior is at the center of it all. But this episode is not just about fear or blame. It is about awareness, responsibility, and action. Jayson speaks directly to this generation about the role we play in protecting the environment, rethinking consumption, and reconnecting with the ecosystem that sustains us. He challenges performative activism, questions careless everyday habits, and explains why ignoring environmental issues is no longer neutral — it is a decision with real consequences. This conversation is meant to spark reflection and urgency. Saving the Earth is not an optional cause or a trendy topic. It is necessary for survival. What This Episode Covers:

Why Earth is “in its flop era” and how we reached this point

Climate change explained in a clear and relatable way

Environmental destruction and ecosystem collapse

The importance of conservation and sustainability

The role of humans, especially young people, in protecting the planet

Performative activism versus real environmental responsibility

How everyday choices affect the ecosystem

Why environmental awareness can no longer be ignored. This Episode Is For You If:

You care about the planet but feel overwhelmed by climate conversations

You want an honest, accessible discussion about environmental issues

You believe awareness is the first step toward change

You are part of a generation that refuses to inherit a damaged Earth

You want to start thinking and acting differently about the environment. Enjoy!

In this episode, host Jayson K dives deep into one of the most overlooked and damaging habits of the digital age: doomscrolling. What starts as “just checking your phone” quickly turns into hours of consuming bad news, comparison culture, and algorithm-driven content designed to keep you hooked. But what is this constant scrolling actually doing to us? Jayson breaks down how social media has evolved from a tool for connection into a system that subtly reshapes our emotions, attention span, and perception of reality. He speaks candidly about how doomscrolling affects mental health, productivity, relationships, and self-worth, and why so many people feel anxious, exhausted, and overstimulated without fully understanding why. This episode explores the psychology behind why negativity spreads faster than positivity online, how algorithms are built to prioritize engagement over well-being, and how the constant flood of information creates a sense of urgency, fear, and emotional burnout. Jayson also reflects on the personal cost of always being “in the know” and how the pressure to stay updated is quietly changing the way we think and live. Beyond the personal impact, this conversation looks at the bigger picture. How is doomscrolling shaping culture, social behavior, and the future of communication? What does it mean for younger generations growing up in an always-on world? And how do we begin to take control of our attention in a system designed to take it from us? This is a raw, honest, and reflective solo episode that challenges listeners to rethink their relationship with social media and the role it plays in shaping both individual lives and the world at large. What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

The psychology behind doomscrolling and how it affects the brain

Why algorithms prioritize negative and emotionally charged content

The link between doomscrolling, anxiety, and emotional burnout

How comparison culture shapes identity and self-worth

The impact of constant scrolling on focus, relationships, and daily life

Ways to become more aware of digital habits without fully disconnecting

How social media is evolving society, culture, and human behavior

Who This Episode Is For:

Anyone who feels overwhelmed by constant news and social media

People who find themselves scrolling without intention or control

Listeners interested in mental health, culture, and technology

Those trying to reclaim focus and emotional balance

Anyone questioning how social media is shaping the modern world

Press Play If You Want:

An honest breakdown of why doomscrolling feels addictive

A deeper understanding of how social media influences daily life

A thoughtful solo conversation that goes beyond surface-level takes

Insight into how digital habits affect both individuals and society

A moment to pause, reflect, and rethink how you engage online. xoxo — Jayson K
