In Episode 8, Billy Donnelly tells of a recent bout with PTSD. Throughout the show, he dives into the story of his dismissal from a prior workplace (Ain't It Cool News) and the mistreatment he experienced on the way out. He explores all the feelings he went through as a result and thought that he'd been able to move on. That is until a name from the past resurfaced in the last few weeks, bringing with all sorts of negative feelings about that ordeal and re-opening the wound. He then discusses the prevalence of PTSD in our everyday lives and how easily it is to trigger memories of past trauma at a moment's notice. (The names of those involved have not been changed, because there is no need to protect the guilty.)
