S1 : EP 20 "I Don’t Wanna, But I’m Gonna" – The Dark Side of Success

In this episode, we’re getting real about the price of success. From sacrificing your time, mental health, and relationships to risking your financial stability and ethics, success doesn’t come without a cost. We dive into the hidden toll of constant hustle, the burnout, the compromises, and the creativity we often lose in the race for more. Is it worth it? Can we really “work hard, play hard,” or does that dream fall apart under the weight of everything we give up? Elliot talks about surviving the war that is high school and why his “Dreams don’t have deadlines” mentality keeps him sane through it all. Get ready for a raw, unfiltered look at the sacrifices we make to get ahead.

S1 : EP 19 There's Marriage... and Then There's Texas Marriage

Strap in for a wild ride through love, lust, and… Texas-style “freedom.” In this episode, we dive deep into everything from upside-down pineapples (yep, you read that right) to why younger folks are rushing into the big "I do." Is it love, or are they just trying to escape their parents’ basement?  

We tackle the real question: **Why does Texas seem to win at sexual freedom**—could it be all the pent-up chicken energy? 🐔 Or is it just that everything’s bigger in Texas.

Also, get ready for some hot takes on religion and how society programs us to act (even if you weren’t raised with a Bible in hand). Plus, we get into what makes a marriage work—*spoiler alert: Elliot is all about that positive outlook*—and Art gives us the real scoop on staying friends with your ex-wife.

So, buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy, hilarious, and sometimes shocking ride.

S1 : EP 18

Elliot's back from his travels to California, and in this episode, we dive into the world of public transportation. There was a time when taking the bus or train was seen as a sign of poverty, long before anyone cared about the greenhouse effect or pollution. Environmentalists didn’t exist, and public transit was stigmatized as something only lower-class people used, often leading to teasing at school.

Art talks about how he couldn’t use bikes as a mode of transportation in his neighborhood because of the risk of getting mugged. He also shares his experience of riding the bus to school at just 11 years old. Meanwhile, Elliot recounts a terrifying moment when he and Art were almost attacked by a homeless shaman in Chicago.

We also touch on Elliot’s confession that he hated learning to drive with Art due to Art’s nervous energy, and Elliot’s worst method of transportation: flying.

Take a ride with us as we discuss all things transportation and the stories that come with them!

S1 : EP 16 Soul Searching in Italy & Big Decisions**

In today’s episode, I share my vacation to Italy 🇮🇹 and how travel helps me reflect on life. I’m lucky to travel the world for work 🌎, but I also talk about how you can’t just travel with anyone — it’s all about the right people.

During my trip, I had a moment of clarity and decided to go to law school! Travel helped me finally make the leap. Elliot encourages you to try new things, even when life gets busy.

I also discuss why immigration law is so important to me — I want to help people who want to help themselves. And my new motto: “I get shit done and I still have fun!”

Plus, hear about the insane Michael Jackson impersonator we saw in Cancun and the challenges of vacation planning (but it’s worth it!).

Tune in for all this and more!

We also share a track from our own personal music project, *"Don't Feed the Birds"* by The Dirty Street Pigeons, a band formed by Art Vile and Elliot during the pandemic. As musicians ourselves, we take a moment to tell the story behind one of our songs(Edge of Mystery), giving you an inside look at the creative process. This is just the beginning of our journey through album reviews and personal song reflections. Join us, let’s talk music!

S1 : EP14 In this episode, we’re sharing the dumb ways we’ve gotten hurt—because let's face it, humans are reckless. We’ll talk about our obsession with watching skateboarding kids wipe out on YouTube (bonus points if they break bones and scream for their mom).

From Art’s forklift accident to a baseball bat to the head in junior high, we’ve had our fair share of injuries. I survived a bike crash that changed my life—broken teeth, and a friend in a coma. Plus, Elliot’s kindergarten scissors incident with his nemesis.

Elliots mom got crushed by a wave and nearly paralyzed. Elliot jumped off the couch, face-planted, and saved his face with his eyebrow bone. We’ve got scars, stitches, and never broken a bone (we’re proud of that).

Take care of your body—it's the only one you’ve got.

Join us for Episode 13 of Therapy as we dive into the highs and lows of counseling. From thinking therapy was only for “crazy” people to realizing it’s now a part of everyday life, we’ll share awkward stories – like the school counselors who pushed heavy topics when we just needed someone to listen and let’s not forget the marriage counseling disaster(Art Vile) where I was blamed for everything.

The struggle of finding the right therapist, and how therapy isn’t a cure—it’s just a toolbox. Ready for the real deal on therapy? Pull up a chair and let’s talk.

S1 : EP12 Welcome to *Truth Day*—a no-holds-barred episode where we say whatever’s on our minds. Art Vile and Elliot spitball stories, from sneaking snacks into theaters to the weirdness of losing your keys and blaming others.

We reminisce about sneaking 20 kids into drive-ins, late-night playgrounds, and Art taking Elliot to the park for fresh air. Elliot getting bitten by a stray dog? Art was furious.

We love museums, but Elliot hates history class (ironic, right?). And that 7-Eleven snack run with the kids? One penny short and the gas station owner refused to sell ice cream. Lost a little faith in humanity that day.

Fist fights protecting family, Kmart’s creepy zombie employees, and how New York refuses to let you use a bathroom (we missed a flight because of it). Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets are still top-tier, but seriously—who eats the McRib?

S1 : EP11 Today, we’re talking love—how we try to control it, how we shouldn’t, and how I learned that the hard way. Love shouldn’t feel forced.

How becoming a dad changed everything for me(Art)—my son (Elliot) taught me more about love than any relationship ever did. But let’s be real, relationships are messy.

And Valentine’s Day? A bit of history: It started as a Roman festival, then Christianized, and it included a wild ritual where boys drew girls’ names out of a box to pick a girlfriend. Honestly, I wish girls did that today—maybe they’d give ugly guys a chance.

V-Day has gone from deep meaning to overpriced dinners and chocolate. So, is it overrated or underrated? Let’s get into it.
