On this hilarious and brutally honest episode of Bald and Bloviating, Mookie Spitz ruminates on three — count 'em, three — epic bike crashes that all share one common thread: his stubborn refusal to admit he needs help. From a bloody Manhattan bike-lane disaster (that cost him $12K and a surgically rebuilt elbow) to two more wipeouts on California bike paths, Mookie serves up wild storytelling, painful lessons, and a raw look at how avoidant personalities handle crisis — badly. Packed with humor, reflection, and just enough self-roasting to make you wince and laugh out loud, this one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, "I'm fine!"... when they really, really weren't. (Spoiler alert: Includes flying bald men, broken sunglasses, a rogue taxi, his favorite death metal song, and a surprising amount of blood.)
