Episode 80: The Price of the Ticket: Professor Lettie Gore on Confronting White Supremacy In this eye-opening episode of Put 'Em on the Couch, Professor Lettie Gore joins host Jason McCoy to dive deep into the ongoing fight against white supremacy and the cost of racial injustice. Drawing from her powerful work in social justice, Professor Gore exposes the brutal realities Black Americans continue to face—being "hunted and murdered" simply for existing. She reflects on what she calls the "Great White Awakening," the surge of awareness around racism and police brutality that many experienced during the pandemic. Yet, as Professor Gore points out, this awareness is far from enough, and she fears that the urgency of confronting systemic racism is fading. With a nod to James Baldwin's "The Price of the Ticket," she underscores the profound cost Black Americans pay just to survive, let alone thrive, in a society built on white supremacy. In this raw and honest conversation, Professor Gore challenges the very idea of a "Great America," asking: When was that, exactly? Throughout the episode, Professor Gore urges all listeners—especially white Americans and so-called allies—to go beyond performative allyship and take tangible, sustained action in dismantling racial injustice. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the depth of racial injustice and the moral responsibility we all share in confronting it.

Episode 66: You Know What Is WEIRD? | Put Em On The Couch Podcast Welcome to the 66th episode of Put Em On The Couch! In this engaging installment, hosts Jason McCoy and Nelson Beaulieu explore the concept of "weird" through four distinct psychological lenses, providing a comprehensive analysis of what makes something appear strange or out of the ordinary. We start with a thought-provoking clip from Gov. Tim Waltz and J.D. Vance using "weird" to critique political ideas and opponents. How does the term shape our understanding and perception of various topics? Jason and Nelson delve into four key perspectives on what defines "weird": Understanding: Does the behavior or idea challenge our comprehension, making it appear "weird" simply because it is not easily understood? Norm Violation: Does the behavior or concept violate societal or cultural norms, leading us to label it as "weird"? Moral Violations: Does the behavior breach moral or legal standards, contributing to its classification as "weird"? Statistical Uniqueness: Is the behavior statistically rare or deviates from the norm, which might make it seem "weird" in comparison to the average? The episode also explores real-world examples, including RFK's unusual fascination with roadkill and the effects of brain parasites on behavior. Insights from Dan Dennett on microorganisms that influence the brain provide an intriguing addition to our discussion. Additionally, we examine the concept of W.E.I.R.D. (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, Democratic) and its impact on social science and psychology. How does this framework influence our understanding and categorization of "weird" behaviors?

Social media can be both a blessing and a curse and today's conversation may not have happened without it. After seeing a post on Instagram from ENDEX and Joe McClatchy from Rest and Refit Outdoors, I reached out to both of the groups responsible for providing Veteran and new archer Andrew Denny with his first bow setup.Jason McCoy, cofounder of ENDEX Archery had long been using archery as a means to combat his PTSD and wanted to bless other service members with that same gift. A phone call to fellow Marine Ray Vickers and the ENDEX story began to unfold.Growing up in the south with hunting and the outdoors a part of his DNA, McCoy found himself missing the stick and string while on Active Duty and something had to change. After losing six of his team members to an IED in 2015, he tried to cope with the trauma by isolating himself and turning to alcohol. Realizing that it wasn't a healthy route, he picked up his bow again and instantly found healing and therapy there.Fast forward to 2024 and ENDEX is on mission to change lives one arrow at a time, just as we are here at HHAUSA. We are excited to partner with them and look forward to seeing more success stories come from the work they are doing. If the smile on the face of Andrew Denny on the 3D range is any indication, they are just getting started.To learn more about how you can support ENDEX Archery, visit www.endexarchery.org and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.For more information about HHAUSA, learn how you can support our mission, or attend an event, visit www.hhausa.orgTo purchases HHAUSA hats, tees and hoodies, visit www.hhasports.comHHAUSA Partner Discount CodesStealthRig 15% Off Code: Stealth15
