Summary

We wanted to spend a little time talking about some simple, actionable ways to be helpful if someone you know is struggling and may be suicidal. Check the article below for more.

We kicked off with a discussion of good and evil in high fantasy shows like the current spinoffs of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Then, we looked into the internet controversy around whether Harry Styles spit gum on Chris Pine at a recent film premier, and we looked at a powerlifting incident from the past where someone really did spit gum.

Listener resources:

Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine

Bench press spitting gum incident.

Veterans charity Jen Weiderstrom is working with.

How to help prevent suicides.
