GME: Trigger Warnings

Trigger Warnings: Inspired by cases like Gabby Petito, this raw episode set out to explore missing persons and stats estimating thousands vanish yearly (see FBI’s NCIC for data). But talks of suicide, recent Texas floods, and personal grief flipped it into an unscripted mental health check. We debated releasing it due to sound issues, but Blue agreed it could help others, showing you can be at your strongest when weakest. Listener discretion is advised: suicide is discussed, with “kill themselves” or variations used 18 times. From Staten Island’s Graceline and Brandon to Steven Kubacki’s strange disappearance, we dig into heavy stories, clashing over words like “suicide” and baring raw pain. Tensions rise, apologies stumble, but we mend fences on-air and comfort each other off-air. It’s messy, unpolished, and shaped by loss and the shock of tragedy. This is a call to hold your people close. If you’re hurting, don’t stay silent—call 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Join us on 87.9 WKMU for a tough, real talk that finds hope in vulnerability. Everyone deserves love, especially you.
