Every Monday night at 7 PM, Marty, often joined by his co-hosts and special guests, dives into relatable topics that touch on the human experience. From catastrophizing to coping, Marty’s show is a blend of humor, heart, and practical advice. And at the core of it all is his signature BACON acronym, a playful yet profound guide to tackling life’s ups and downs.
A Show That’s as Relatable as It Is Inspiring
In this special Encore Episode, Marty tackled the topic of catastrophizing, our tendency to imagine the worst-case scenario in every situation. Joined by his sons, Nate and Luke, the trio shared personal stories, like locking themselves out of an Airbnb or dealing with workplace frustrations, to illustrate how we often blow things out of proportion. Through humor and heartfelt discussions, they reminded listeners that most problems aren’t as catastrophic as they seem.
One of the standout moments was Marty’s retelling of the classic Chicken Little story, reimagined with characters like “Jenny Penny” and “Lamby Ham Sandwich.” It was a hilarious yet poignant reminder that running around screaming “the sky is falling” rarely solves anything. Instead, Marty encouraged listeners to take a step back, breathe, and assess the situation with a clearer head.
What'S your BACON?
When it comes to CATASTROPHIZING, Marty’s BACON isn’t just a breakfast staple; it’s a philosophy for happiness. Each letter represents a step toward finding joy and solving problems:
B: Believe in their fears (or your own). Acknowledge that feelings are valid, even if they seem exaggerated.
A: Address concerns. Dig deeper to understand the root cause of stress or anxiety.
C: Change the narrative. Shift perspectives, inject humor, or reframe the situation to see it in a new light.
O: Offer support. Sometimes, just being there for someone is the most powerful thing you can do.
N: Normalize help-seeking. Whether it’s talking to a friend, a therapist, or even calling a hotline, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
