This week on BBD podcast, our guest is Colleen Thompson who is a Vancouver based, very-hungover stand up comedian, writer and researcher/ex-therapist. This episode gets a little deep into existential stuff and basically the closest I got to a therapy session in a while.  We discuss living with your internal knots instead of trying to unravel them, needing and chasing some level of chaos, and bringing a stalker on a date to get rid of him. Really! Also this whole episode is basically a euphemism for jacking someone off, I'm sorry?
