Gray Matters Radio Episode 88: It's Not You...It's Me: How To Not Mistake Your Emotions For Your Child's

October 04, 2021 12:26 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MB

Let's face it...there is a lot going on in the world today and there are plenty of things to be anxious or upset about as a parent. But just because we are anxious or upset, doesn't mean your child has to be that way! Too many times in my office I have a parent calling me in a panic about how upset their child is about something or how worried they are...only to sit down with the child and find out that they really don't feel that way. To be effective as a parent we have to make sure that we ...

September 20, 2021 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

Near the top of the list of feedback that we received from parents were tips on how to help their kids reintegrate back into in-person classes. For this episode we discuss tips for dealing with their child's anxiety, lack of motivation, bad habits, electronics usage, atrophy of social skills, and lost time in preparing for college applicatiopns/jobs.

Gray Matters Radio Episode 85: Sports Psychology For The Locker Room Of America

June 16, 2020 22:43 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MB

After watching the ESPN Documentary The Last Dance, I found myself amazed with how Phil Jackson was able to manage to keep all of those personalities and egos in check while simultaneously winning 6 NBA Championships. It got me thinking about how sports in general has always been a lightning rod for the civil rights movement and not the Black Lives Matter movements and somehow through all of those tense moments in our history and present...teams were able to operate at a high level and work t...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 84: 2 Best Friends Have Their First "Real" Conversation About Race In America (PT 2)

June 11, 2020 00:00 - 36 minutes - 29 MB

Part of getting older is being able to realize and admit that what you have been doing isn't working and being okay with not knowing how to fix it. That is the sum of how I have felt in the past few weeks watching America tear itself apart not only among party lines but alone racial and socioeconomic lines. I will admit that I have felt guilty recently over my view that being color-blind was the best way to deal with racial in-equality because it only has led to what we are seeing on TV and ...

Part of getting older is being able to realize and admit that what you have been doing isn't working and being okay with not knowing how to fix it.

Gray Matters Radio Episode 83: Time For Politicians To Be The Parents In The Room Not The Cool Aunt & Uncles

May 19, 2020 13:38 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

Let me see a show of hands...how many people here understand epidemiology and virology? Unless your name is Dan Evans you are not raising your hands right now because its freaking complicated. Which is why we need people we trust to give us the information we need and delivered in a way we can understand so we can make decisions that are best for us, our families, and our businesses. But therein lies the problem...Americans are split down largely party lines in their views of the Covid-19 sh...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 82: Spoiler or Savior? Using Psychology To Gain Support For 3rd Party Candidates

May 14, 2020 16:29 - 1 hour - 56.3 MB

How many times have you heard people say that we need a new independent 3rd political party to run for president and to keep the Democrats and Republicans in check? How many times have we had a 3rd party candidate and they get labeled a selfish pariah that siphoned votes and handed it to the other candidate? Exactly...we say that we want a 3rd party candidate but each time they run not enough people support them, their message doesn't change a damn thing, and they just end up causing more tr...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 81: Putting The Social Distancing & Liberate Movements Into Couples Counseling

May 05, 2020 17:23 - 39 minutes - 31.8 MB

In case you didn't know it, America is pretty divided and not even a killer virus can make us get along. The latest couples spat is a brewing war between the Liberate America's Economy movement and the Social Distancing movement where apparently each side thinks the other's plans will end America as we know it. Not exactly a typical couples counseling session where parents disagree over where their kid should go to school? So what the hell do we do? Well for starters we need a different appr...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 80: The Science of Covid-19 Conspiracy Theories

April 21, 2020 22:04 - 1 hour - 71.4 MB

So who is really behind the Covid-19 pandemic? Depending on what corners of the internet you live in, your answer might range from China, USA, Bill Gates, Democrats, Deep State, New World Order...hell I even saw theories placing the blame on Unicorns. Okay...maybe not Unicorns but you get the point. So we wouldn't be Gray Matters if we didn't at least look under the hood of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories on the interwebs and try to find a way to apply a scientific methodolog...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 79: Staying Summit Strong During A Corona Virus Pandemic

April 14, 2020 21:12 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

With so much attention in the media being about NYC's death toll and President Trump's perceived lack of action in January, many parts of this country that are being affected by Corona Virus are not getting the attention that they need. That is why we are dedicating our show the next few weeks into telling the stories that the news is just not covering. For this week, we invited our Colorado Snow For Life crew, onto the show to discuss what is happening out there in Summit Country. Joining ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 78: What Will America 2.0's Economy Look Like After Corona Virus?

April 08, 2020 14:44 - 1 hour - 75.2 MB

You know you live in odd times when there is a worldwide deadly virus pandemic and most people you talk to in America are more worried about the economy then peoples lives. Its not to say people don't care about the virus, it just speaks volumes to the damage the quarantine has had on the global economy. So what will the economy look like in America 2.0? Depending on who you talk to its either going to be a economic wasteland or it will serve as a catalyst to finally address some major issu...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 77: Life From Inside The Corona Virus Hot Zone Of NYC

April 01, 2020 13:27 - 1 hour - 61 MB

We have all seen the horrific numbers and images that are coming out of New York City, which has become one of the major fronts in the battle against Corona Virus. It is absolutely sobering to watch the daily news and see images coming out of NYC that you typically would see coming out of a 3rd world war torn country. While much of the news coverage has been focused on the disease itself and the bursting at the seams hospital system, what has been missing is the psychological toll this outb...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 76: Is It Fair To Blame Trump For Hospital Supply Shortages W/Special Guest Healthcare Consultant Richard DeVine

March 24, 2020 14:27 - 1 hour - 66.5 MB

Is it fair to blame Trump for the supply shortages that our hospitals and healthcare workers are facing during this corona virus outbreak? To answer this question we invited our good friend Richard DeVine who is a 30 year veteran of the healthcare industry including being the SVP of Supply-Chain and Chief Resource Officer of Mount Carmel Healthcare System. So what did we learn from our guest? For one the supply shortage is a systemic issue that goes back to the 1980's and even if we knew 1 ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 75: Keeping You & Your Family Sane During The Quarantine

March 18, 2020 01:03 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

With the world going into lock down over #covid19, I have been asked by every one of my clients what they can do to stay sane during the quarantine as well as how they can help explain the gravity of the situation with their children without scaring them too much. It is not just my clients either...my own daughter has been struggling to deal with her fear over the #coronavirus as well as how to deal with the fact that her mom and my wife is a nurse who is putting herself in harms way every d...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 74: Concern Vs. Panic? An Important COVID-19 Update From Infectious Disease Researcher Dan Evans

March 10, 2020 12:04 - 1 hour - 53.4 MB

If you go on Facebook right now you will see posts from your friends that say you should be panicking and buying mass amounts of toilet paper or that its all a Democratic hoax to bring down Donald Trump. So what is the truth? Should we be be panicking or is it all a hoax? To get a real answer and the latest on the COVID-19 outbreak we invited our good friend infectious disease researcher & graduate student at University of Pittsburgh Dan Evans back to the show to set the record straight and ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 73: How Bernie Can Beat The Democrats

March 04, 2020 13:08 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MB

Just to get this out of the way...read this post or better yet...actually watch my show before you message me on Twitter or Facebook! Don't do the Russian trolls job's for them and just read a headline and react! Now with that disclaimer out of the way... I am still here! I thought I was going to get attacked by angry Democrats this week but I survived and lived to craft another winning message for a candidate. Super Tuesday was a game changer for the race with Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar g...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 72 PT 2: How The Democrats Can Beat Bernie Sanders

February 26, 2020 15:36 - 52 minutes - 41.8 MB

Perhaps one of the most frustrating things about the 2020 Election isn't Donald Trump Vs The Democrats, but more The Democrats Vs. The Democrats. Just watching the debates and the various campaign events it is abundantly clear the candidates do not have a clue how to appeal to anyone who is outside of their base. Too much time is spent talking at people with little forethought as to how those comments are coming across to the very people you are trying to convert. So we are taking it upon o...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 72 PT 1: How The Democrats Can Beat Bernie Sanders

Gray Matters Radio Episode 71: Which Political Party is The Most Hypocritical?

February 18, 2020 12:52 - 1 hour - 70.1 MB

This is a trick question and a psychological experiment from yours truly, America's Counselor! There is no correct answer to this question because Democrats and Republicans are both equally as hypocritical albeit it in different ways. So how did we get this way and is there any turning back? Chances are if you only read the headline then you are part of the 60% of people who only read headlines and will message me angry tweets or Facebook posts telling me how biased I am or a shill for one p...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 70: Talking Toxic Masculinity In The Age Of #Metoo

February 12, 2020 13:17 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

You can't denote the irony that in a political climate where gender, race, sexuality, and economic inequality are one sides biggest issues, many people who are not part of those groups feel like they can't talk about it. Because of narrow-minded and bigoted hate groups, professionals like myself find it difficult to discuss these issues out of fear of being labeled a sexist, racist, etc. I couldn't even make a comment about a female candidate on my Twitter without being told my implicit raci...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 69: Making America Care Again With NC Congressional Candidate Christopher Schulte

February 04, 2020 22:10 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

I must admit, President Trump's Make America Great Again motto is perhaps one of the greatest campaign mottoes of all time. But something about the motto has been bugging me lately. I keep asking myself, how can we Make America Great Again when one half of the country hates the other and wants them to leave? How do you reform healthcare when half the country doesn't care if someone doesn't have insurance? How do you reform education when half the country feels they have no responsibility to e...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 68: Should We Be Worried About The Corona Virus Outbreak? With Special Guest Researcher Dan Evans

January 28, 2020 14:53 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

What does a house party and a corona virus have in common? According to infectious disease researcher and University of Pittsburgh graduate student Dan Evans, once the party has started the only thing you can do is mitigate the damage. In case you haven't been paying attention, there has been an outbreak of a new virus in China that has spread rather quickly and has sparked concerns that it might turn into a global pandemic. We are all about a great virus/plague movie but when the plot line...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 67: Who Is Lev Parnas & What Does He Know?

January 21, 2020 13:57 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

When our interview with "Lev Parnas" went in a direction that none of us could predict, it was on America's Counselor & the Armchair QB to do the heavy lifting and find out who exactly Lev Parnas is and why he takes so many damn pictures with people who have no idea who he is. What exactly do we find out about Lev? Well he has been in America for a very long time, he has a knack for owning businesses that get investigated, and is either a shrewd international influencer or perhaps one of the...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 66: Who is Qasem Soleimani & A Deep Dive Into The Iran Nuclear Deal

January 15, 2020 14:25 - 1 hour - 64 MB

What better time to continue testing out our new dedication to sticking to the facts then President Trump capping Iranian General Qasem Soleimani? For this episode of Gray Matters we bring in our foreign affairs correspondent Richard "The Professor" DeVine to help us understand who Qasem Soleimani is, how he came to power, and most importantly why The US wanted him dead. Of course we cannot have a discussion about whether killing him was justified without a deep dive into what the Iranian N...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 65: Stop Waiting & Let's Fix Healthcare Ourselves W/Special Guest Dr. Chris Mabry

January 07, 2020 22:41 - 1 hour - 57.3 MB

Its a new year but we can't seem to get away from the drama can we? Good thing our New Year's resolution was to not get distracted by the drama and instead focus on the real problems facing Americans. So keeping true to our resolution we didn't take the bait and talk about Iran but instead we focused on the biggest issue on American's minds...healthcare. Instead of waiting around for our government to figure it out we instead turn our attention to what we, healthcare professionals and patie...

December 31, 2019 15:30 - 40 minutes - 32.6 MB

Our New Years Eve special was so big we literally had to put the episode into two parts. Up first in our two part special we welcome Mike's much better and more attractive better half Jill into the studio to play "Who said it, Trump or Michael Scott" and to weigh in on the highs and lows of 2019.

Merry ChristmaHannahQwanza Everyone! Well everyone but the ArmchairQB who decided to abandon us for his "Real Family" for the holiday. But have no fears, our good friends at Cave Crew Radio loaned us out Big B for the night as guest co-host....thanks guys! So what do we have in store for our listeners this Christmas Eve? We have a delightful debate about whether A Christmas Story is overrated, debating the merits of Diehard being a Christmas movie & if so should Lethal Weapon & Trading Place...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 62: Fixing Education One Classroom At A Time W/Special Guest Kevin Stoller

December 17, 2019 22:19 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MB

Why in the hell does it seem like critical thinking is in such short supply these days? Maybe it has something to do with our schools reinforcing standardized tests & memorization rather than the process in which you came to the right answer. If only schools did the opposite then we maybe our country would not be as polarized as it currently is and perhaps we could sniff out BS easier. According to our guest Kevin Stoller, Founder and CEO of Kay Through Twelve educational consultants, school...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 61: Is The Country Ready For A Gay President?

December 11, 2019 22:04 - 1 hour - 55.9 MB

With Mayor Pete becoming a legitimate candidate for president, I find it interesting that we do not hear the candidate and the media discussing whether America is ready for a gay president in the same manner they spoke about the country being ready for a black president in 2008. Why do I think this is something that needs to be talked about? In 2008 shortly before the election, 76% of people polled said that the country was ready for a black president. Up a full 16% from the same poll condu...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 60: ANTIFA, Anarchy & The Apocalypse

December 03, 2019 22:34 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

So what happened when America's Counselor sat down with an ANTIFA member and tried to get them to find common ground? He realized that despite his best efforts, the far left and far right have no interest in compromise and are hell bent on a revolution that either never work or in the unlikely event does work, will lead to nothing but lawless anarchy. So if compromise is futile what do we do? Join the revolution of course! What should a revolution look like? Is it possible to have a revolut...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 59: What The F&$k Happened To Thanksgiving?

November 27, 2019 02:10 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

What better way to celebrate the holiday where we are supposed to be thankful for what we have by leaving our own families, making employees leave their own families, to buy shit that we just don't need? I know, I am beating up on Thanksgiving but in reality what happened to it? Its like we go right from one holiday that makes money (Halloween) and skip over Thanksgiving to celebrate the mother of all money making holidays....Christmas. Where is the faith and family values crowd on this one? ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 58: NFL Thursday Night Fights A Symptom Of A Greater Problem?

November 19, 2019 20:59 - 1 hour - 50.3 MB

Another week brings another blistering WTF segment from America's Counselor. What is chaffing Mike's ass this week? The Thursday night football game last week where we saw Myles Garrett get suspended for helping Mason Rudolph up by his helmet and helping him put it back on. I mean wtf....seriously...wtf were you thinking? Michael believes that obviously something was said to Myles Garrett that enraged him...which is par for the course with all of the violence we are seeing across the globe. ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 57: A Veteran's Advice On How To Observe Veteran's Day

November 11, 2019 18:40 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

What is the proper way to celebrate Veteran's Day? It is a question that I think many of us have never really asked ourselves. On the surface we will give the answer of telling a soldier that we thank them for their service but is that really enough to honor their service and sacrifice? That is why for this very special episode of Gray Matters we invited The Professor Richard DeVine back into the studio. Richard is a Vietnam veteran who lucky for us is not short on opinions and sharing them ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 56: Okay Boomer? Okay Millennial? Okay Gen X?

November 06, 2019 00:19 - 1 hour - 52.4 MB

Join us as we dive into the "Ok Boomer" uproar from the unique perspective of a Baby Boomer, Millennial, and Generation X. Wh...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 55: Behind The Political Curtain Of The 2020 Democratic Candidates

October 29, 2019 13:43 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

We are under 100 days away from the first Democratic primary and we are starting to get a clear picture of who the legit candidates are going to be. So naturally we had to take a break from our weekly coverage of the Orange Mist to put the 2020 Democratic candidates on the couch. Joining us in the studio is our good friend Jacque Nowak from The Voice of The Radical Center Podcast. What did we see? For one Mayor Pete brought some fire to the debate and the polls numbers show contrary to popul...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 54: The Kids Aren't Alright

October 23, 2019 11:37 - 1 hour - 44.1 MB

Just imagine if we lived in a world where each successive generation committed suicide at rates higher than the previous generation until it was the #2 cause of death. Thank God we don't...oh shit that is actually reality. The CDC this week released a report indicating that suicide is the #2 cause of death for Generation Z. You read that right...the 2nd leading cause of death is suicide for people 24 years-old and younger. One would think that would get some media attention but you can take ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 53: Is The Joker Movie A Prediction About Our Future?

October 16, 2019 21:56 - 1 hour - 75.6 MB

While watching The Joker this weekend, I couldn't help but notice the not so subtle message that director Todd Phillips was trying to send about the long term effects of runaway greed and wealth disparity in our country. Perhaps even more sobering is the recent economic data showing that the income gap between the wealthiest 1% and the poorest 50% has grown to its highest level ever. So we have to ask ourselves, with our country more divided than ever, more militant than ever, and more toxi...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 52: Putting Together The Conspiracy Against President Trump

October 08, 2019 13:46 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

So with conspiracy theories now becoming part of the mainstream discussion and interpretation of what is going on in our country, who better than America's Counselor to put them together to figure out what is delusional versus what is plausible. For this weeks episode we dive into the popular conspiracy theories being floated by Trump supporters about the 2016 election and who might be trying to bring down his presidency. Deep State, CIA, FBI, Clinton's, Obama, Soros....we got it all! As alw...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 51: Have Democrats Considered The Fallout For Impeaching Trump?

October 01, 2019 23:10 - 1 hour - 46.7 MB

Lost in the debate about whether or not Trump committed impeachable offenses is the question of what the fallout will be if Trump is successfully or unsuccessfully tried for impeachment. Will there be a civil war? Will impeachment be the new political tool of the minority party? Will we continue to have the "it's okay if our candidate did it but illegal if your candidate did it". The answer is all of the above and we should all ask ourselves whether this whole impeachment inquiry worth the n...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 50: Can Ukraine Bring Down Biden & Trump At The Same Time?

September 24, 2019 12:10 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MB

We made it to 50 episodes somehow! So what does America's counselor have in store for this special episode? We start out with an epic rant from Michael after getting accused of being a sexist on Facebook, holding no punches about what he feels about the accusation and gender in America. Then of course Trump, Biden, and Ukraine get the special 50th episode treatment where Michael and Bill look at the evidence available and try to understand what Trump did, was it illegal, and how contrary to p...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 49: Is Iran Being Framed For The Saudi Arabia Oil Refinery Drone Attack?

September 17, 2019 12:05 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

Is it just me or does this Saudi Arabia oil refinery drone attack seem like a plot line from a Tom Clancy novel? On the surface it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for Iran to do this but if they didn't then who would benefit from making it look like Iran is behind it? I will give you one guess and it rhymes with Prussia. To help us understand this puzzle we invite our very own foreign policy correspondent Richard "The Professor" DeVine to weigh in and help us understand the history of t...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 48: Terrasana Leading The Medical Cannabis Revolution In Ohio W/Special Guest Emilie Ramach

September 10, 2019 16:17 - 1 hour - 60 MB

When was the last time you went to CVS and thought twice about the quality of medicine you were getting? You don't and that is exactly how it should be! In the new era of medical cannabis, dispensaries across the country are working hard to educate the public about medical cannabis and building the public's trust in their products. Nowhere do we see these efforts paying off more than in our very own backyard with Columbus's own Terrasana Medical Cannabis Dispensary. To be in this business y...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 47: MAGA With A Little Help From My Friends

September 05, 2019 23:45 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

What is the cure for curing the cancer that is tearing our country apart? How about as parents we start by making our kids put away the electronics, make real in-person friends, and get the hell outside. Part of the problem in this country is the complete lack of empathy that people have for each other. Not even a hurricane can prevent people from posting the most ugly and dehumanized comments one could imagine. That is what happens when you raise a generation of children in front of a phone...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 46: "I Am Surrounded By As#hole$"

August 28, 2019 14:17 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

Is it just me or are people really treating people like shit nowadays? It seems like every time I go out to the store now I see some customer berating a hapless employee or seeing two customers arguing over trivial things like parking spaces and where their cart is. Either I am just looking for these things or people really are more angry then they have before. Like Mayer Pete said a few weeks ago, he said our polarized and corrupted government is causing people to displace their anger and ...

Gray Matters Radio Episode 45: "Don't You Dare Hope For A Recession To Spite Trump" The Gray Matters Trump Reporter Is Tired Of This $h#t

August 20, 2019 11:49 - 1 hour - 56.6 MB
