Every now and then we take a minute to slow down and pause to think "as wonderfully vast as the internet is, are we using the things we've been taught from it correctly?" We have made HUGE strides in the world of mental health and in order to protect the integrity of that progress, we also need to shed light on the moments that the tools that were created and distributed with the intent to heal, can also and are also being used to hurt. On this week's episode, we're sharing the slippery slope of weaponized therapy speak.

Be wise with your tools - Weaponized Therapy Speak

A community for people who hate leaving the house but also want friendship. Talking about things we find fascinating or don't understand and almost certainly getting completely sidetracked along the way with well, tangents.

After the success of the Sims episode, we decided that we're just going to start doing what you want more often and what you've been asking for is a place to vent your icks. We're back again describing all of the things that make our faces scrunch up in disgust. Did we accidentally just focus on men doing these things and discover that when women do the majority of these, it's more of a yum than an ick? Maybe.

Chef boyar-dee me down - Icks

We just finished up the last leg of tour and had absolutely zero time to record a traditional episode. We've been teasing Sims content for what feels like a year so we finally used our current situation as a reason to pull the trigger and see if we could make an episode out of playing the Sims. For warning, this was recorded on a cell phone in a hotel. If you like this, we will definitely properly record next time! Thank you for being gentle on us this week while we get ourselves back together!! 

THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE TOUR!!

Dad, not now! I'm doing gay stuff - Sims Play

We've been needing it and you've been asking for it, it's a long overdue mental health check in. Tour is almost over and the roller coaster of highs and lows is about to come to a screeeeeeching halt - see what I did there, PNW? Grab a cozy drink and get your comfy pants on while we answer some of your questions in this slower paced catch up ep.

No one self adjusts me like I self adjust me - Mental Health Check In

We know you weirdos like to talk about dreams and so do we. The insane movies our subconscious projects on the back of our eyelids is the closest we get to tripping these days. Did we already cover some of these things 3.5 years ago? Maybe, but you know we forgot so we read some popular nightmares like it was the first time. Don't take any of this seriously, our resource was a mattress website.

Now her soul is in this thrift store bathroom - Dream Meanings

Patreon voted for another smergashberg mashup of stories for us to share with you! You want ho-rror stories? We got'em. You want ghost stories? Got that too. Accidentally starting a cult...didn't know you wanted that, did you? But we did...
