This week on The Open Mike Podcast, we get real about mental health and the importance of reaching out when life feels heavy. Mike shares a powerful encounter with a complete stranger — a father who opened up about his son’s struggles — and how that unexpected moment reminded us all that none of us are in this alone.

Then, we lighten it up with another round of “What’s Up With That? — The Florida Man Edition” because somehow Florida never disappoints.

And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without Mike’s NFL Week 7 picks, the Open Mike Mailbag, and a little bit of everything else in between — football, laughs, life, and the conversations that keep us grounded.

🎧 Tune in, talk it out, and remember — it’s always okay to ask for help.

This week we're talking life, fall weather, and my favorite holiday - Halloween!

Plus we dive into how social media and media consumption are shaping the younger generations and how much media they consume on a daily basis.

Of course we've got your favorites:

And so much more....

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.
