    Griefstrike! Jason Roeder on How to Laugh When Life Brings On the Heartbreak

    Griefstrike! Jason Roeder on How to Laugh When Life Brings On the Heartbreak

    Jason Roeder is a writer, author, and satirist. He was previously a senior editor and senior writer for The Onion where he contributed to many all-time classic Onion headlines and articles.

    In today's Inner Views episode, Jason speaks with Seph and Lex about Griefstrike!, his brand-new comedy book that teaches us to laugh at and with grief.  Jason wrote Griefstrike! during the pandemic, after his mother's passing.

    Today's conversation ranges from the profound to the practical, and many deep questions arise:

    If someone doesn't support you during your grief, what's the best way to banish them?

    Which 80s glam rock band had the best grief advice? 

    When someone close to you dies, which stuff of theirs do you keep?

    Which Disney character is the best grief counselor?

    In addition, Jason, Seph, and Lex work diligently to understand psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's 5-stage grief model. Then they uncover Ross's super-secret 6th stage of grief. 

    If you want to know this final, mind-blowing stage of grief, you MUST listen to this Inner Views with one of the best comedy writers around, Jason Roeder.

    Super Bowl Champ Freddy "The Flow" Marrero: Flow Knows Mindletics

    Super Bowl Champ Freddy "The Flow" Marrero: Flow Knows Mindletics

    Freddy "The Flow" Marrero is a legendary, cross-sport athlete for both the NFL and the NBA.
    Freddy is the first NFL football player of all time to both win a super bowl (with the Kansas City Chiefs) and also perform as a backup dancer in the half-time show (for Rihanna).
    Freddy is known for his intensely mindful style (on and off the field) and his total rejection of the idea that sports involve competition. His mastery of the brain, the mind, and human consciousness has helped him shatter records and confuse his competition (who he doesn’t believe in) for the better part of a decade.
    In this stunning, tell-all interview, Seph and Lex get to the heart of what makes Freddy “The Flow” tick, and how his dance moves for Rihanna are so totally sick and nasty.
    They also get deep into Freddy’s recently-released New York Times #1 best-seller, “Mindletics: The Athlete Inside Your Brain.”
