In this week’s episode of The Open Mike Podcast, we dive deep into the importance of mental health — why the conversation matters, why no one should ever feel ashamed, and how breaking the stigma can make a difference.

We also take a hard look at Charlie Kirk, the impact of his voice on society, and why our country feels more divided than ever.

Then, we switch gears and get into the NFL — breaking down Week 3 action and giving my predictions and picks for Week 4.

And of course, we wrap it all up with your favorite segment: the Open Mike Mailbag.

It’s real. It’s raw. It’s Open Mike.

In this weeks episode we talk about the growing violence in America, focusing specifically on the murder of Charlie Kirk. We examine the implications of this violence and the societal factors at play, and what needs to change or why people are not willing to change.

We also kick things off for the NFL season with a bang as we break down all the major highlights and surprises from NFL week 1. From jaw dropping plays to unexpected upsets, we dive into what went right and wrong for each team. We also look ahead to Week 2, making our predictions and discussing the key matchups to watch.

And as always we cannot forget Open Mike Mailbag.

Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions, from touchdown celebrations to tough conversations.

The new school year is here, and unfortunately so is another heartbreaking story of gun violence at a private school. We open this week with a raw conversation about protecting children and what more can be done to keep schools safe.

From there, we shift gears — talking about the upcoming NFL season, teasing a brand-new segment we’ll be running all season long, and even spinning some of the greatest NFL sports themes of all time (at least in my opinion).

Of course, we revisit the Cracker Barrel situation (because why not?), break down another round of What’s Up With That?! with the weirdest headlines we found this week, and close it out with the always-unfiltered Open Mike Mailbag.

It’s real. It’s raw. It’s the Open Mike Podcast.
