Tune in to this soul-stirring episode of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads," where our hosts, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, crack open a couple of cold ones with the legend himself, Bass Man. This episode touches on the realness of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, the beat of life's transitions, and the rhythmic escape that can be found in the strings of a guitar.
#### What's on Track:
- **Retail Riffs to Remote Routines**: Learn how Bass Man tuned his life from the unpredictable retail schedule to a harmonious 9 to 5 melody.
- **ADHD and the Adult**: Discover how an adult diagnosis of ADHD echoed back through Bass Man's life and his journey towards self-understanding and acceptance.
- **Hacky Sack and Physics**: Lean in as Bass Man recounts an unusual yet pivotal moment with his physics teacher that's kept him kicking to the present day.
- **Stress Strings**: Bass Man plucks out insights from his childhood, taking a hard look at how family dynamics can influence personal growth and emotional tuning.
- **Music as a Mental Metronome**: From mastering the cello to jamming with middle-aged rock stars, we dive into how music can be both a passion and a supportive practice for those with ADHD.
- **Band Name Brainstorm**: Get a kick out of the band name possibilities cooked up by the gang (thank you, name generator!).
#### Lessons Learned:
- **Organization as a Symphony**: Harmony in life begins with self-programming and maintaining a solid routine, especially crucial for those dancing to the ADHD beat.
- **Seeing Without Sight**: Sometimes, closing our eyes can help us focus and drown out the noise, whether in life's complex situations or in the middle of a music piece.
- **Vulnerability is Virtue**: Never shy away from expressing your struggles—there's strength in the shared experience of just not being okay.
- **Finding Your Rhythm**: Whether it's music or another passion entirely, it’s essential to have an outlet to strum away the stress and calm your thoughts.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.

Because the questions you're carrying deserve real answers.<br /><br />New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.<br /><br />85 Million Downloads | Gold Stevie Award | Davey Gold for Social Impact
