Episode 1437 Cool-Down Squeeze: A Water-Bottle Lifeline for Men in Crisis
Magic Communications production, but it's Blind Magic in Alice Springs, most importantly, and I am your presenter and host, Murray Stewart. In this episode (1437) Murray opens with a personal mission: tackling male suicide and domestic violence by talking about the many good men in our communities and the crisis facing men today.The episode covers stark statistics — including that around 80% of the world’s suicides are men — and explores the idea that men are in crisis. Murray discusses why he believes it’s important to talk men up, support our youth, and provide practical tools that can intervene in moments of crisis.Murray introduces his concept for a simple, discreet device he calls the “cool-down squeeze”: a water-bottle–sized, wireless squeeze-activated alarm designed to contact five preselected mentors through an app and location system to provide immediate human connection and de-escalation. He explains how a single squeeze would notify trusted contacts to locate and talk someone down from suicidal intent or potential violence, offering details on the intended functionality and real-world use.The discussion includes practical considerations and costs — roughly just over $100,000 to build a prototype and about $500,000 to bring the product to market — and Murray’s frank admission that, as a pensioner, he cannot fund the project himself. He names potential collaborators (for example, Live Life Alarm) and openly invites companies, developers, or social entrepreneurs to take the idea, develop it, and bring it to market.The episode is equal parts personal plea and practical pitch: Murray describes his willingness to waive legal claims and urges others to ‘steal’ the idea so it can become a tool to reduce suicide and domestic violence. Listeners can expect a heartfelt, grassroots call to action aimed at saving lives and supporting men in crisis.
