Psychiatrist David Reiss is the guest on this week's episode ofThe Chauncey DeVega Show. David and Chauncey first connected in a previous podcast discussion of the passing of the late great professional wrestler "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.
This is a continuation of
that great discussion and David does some great sharing and
teaching.
David is a mental health
practitioner who in addition to his private practice and consulting
has worked very closely with athletes from a range of backgrounds
including professional wrestling.
David and Chauncey have a
fun and wide ranging conversation that is not just good fun for
those folks interested in the theater and drama of professional
wrestling, but includes insight about America's broken mental
healthcare system, police brutality, concussions and sports, over
diagnosis of PTSD, and the over medication of the American public.
David also shares some great stories about the great personalities
and interesting people he encountered while working at horse racing
tracks while in medical school back in the not too distant
past.
As a bonus for this episode
of The Chauncey DeVega Show, David and Chauncey
reconnected to discuss the recent Hulk Hogan racism
imbroglio.

Chauncey DeVega Show, Chauncey also briefly shares his
thoughts on the de facto murders of Sandra Bland and Samuel Dubose,
is very angry about the killing of Mr. Cecil the Lion, and pitches
some ideas for reality TV shows while watching the horrific Dating
Naked.
Chauncey also gives an update
to the Sherlock Holmes-like mystery that he has been investigating
in his neighborhood A hint: Chauncey has actually seen one of the
people involved in the mysterious tale of "letters thrown out of
windows in the middle of the night by a person who may or may not
be a prisoner".
