It’s the week of Christmas, but more importantly its the week after the boys went and saw The Force Awakens! This week they are joined by their good friend Jessie Ingle and his little woman Laura, Dustin’s brother Kyle (Ren), and Dustin’s white dad, Kurt. Yes Matt quickly brings the topic to the difference between Dustin’s white dad and black dad. The boys also spend some time on the goings on over the weekend, Matt’s insane idea for terminal kids, clean up the voice mail and email boxes, talk randomly about things that are going on to wrap up the year, and of corse promoting the Jerry Jonestown Massacre Presents Show featuring Huffer, Hoof, Mountain of Smoke, and The Me-Thinks on January 16th, 2016 at Caves in Arlington. Entry is only $5! That’s a steal! Finally, the entire room spends the second half of the show discussing the movie event of the year, The Force Awakens. So if you haven’t seen it, here’s your spoiler warning.

This one is pretty heavy, but it’s a show that we have been wanting to do for a little while now. A few weeks ago we had Dr. Peter Thomas, in with us to talk about his band and we ended up talking a little bit about depression and suicide amongst the music community. We told him that we wanted to get him back in, maybe around the holidays since this is a really emotional time of year, to continue the conversation and help make more people aware of the plague of depression and suicide. Well the good Dr joined us again this week and he informs about suicide stats across the country, the difference of bipolar and schizophrenia, what some of the risk factors for suicide are, some of the characteristics and signs to look for, some of the myths and misconceptions about suicide, what we should and shouldn’t do to those that we might know that are struggling with depression and suicide, and what puts musicians more at risk. Like we said, this isn’t the normal JJTM jackassery, its a really heavy episode and we hope this helps raise awareness or helps someone that might be struggling with these issues and leads them to the help they might need.
