The show takes a turn for the better with the addition of the one and only Leyla Lawrence as a permanent co-host, helping to add a voice of reason to a show that typically contains anything but. We cover previous episode reactions, my treatment progress and complications therein and, believe it or not, we dip a toe in Me Too.

There are many words one could use to describe me. Misanthrope. Curmudgeon. Loner. Prick. Asshole. And they’d be right. But a word not often associated with me, is friend. You, dear listeners, would likely not disagree. And you’d be right, more often than not. But not always. My first guest ever on the show is appearing, in part, to prove that. She is a commercial, film and television actress, a national voice over artist and a performer at Orlando area theme parks. Please welcome, to Almost Certainly Not: Leyla Lawrence.

Memory is a funny thing, especially when yours no longer works properly. The worst part about not remembering something is that you can't remember that you can't remember. I explore this and more, in depth, in today's episode.

The extent to which life can at once become both simpler and more confused is maddening. As is consistent lack of sleep. Additionally, the second point has a lot of influence on the first. These disparate thoughts, and more, are explored in detail.

It's always best practice to reach for the stars, but it's also possible to get burned. There can be a wide gulf between expectations, hopes, wildest dreams and reality.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Sometimes that entails resorting to a mental health treatment typically regarded in the modern age as barbaric and passe. The truth of the matter is far more complicated.

The view from the bottom is dark and lonely. But fighting is always an option. With the right kind of eyes, fighting is the only option.
