Confessions and Ramblings of a Functioning Psychotic

This is Pop Short #3!

Do YOU have Trump Derangement Syndrome?  Maybe you haven't heard of this asinine knock off with roots all the way back to George W. Bush!  When Democrats complained about how inept or uneducated President Bush was, someone coined the term Bush Derangement Syndrome which meant that nobody was correctly criticizing Bush, they simply had some kind of mental incapacity that made them hate every single thing that Bush did whether it was right or wrong.  Now the uninformed and inaccurate catch phrase has been repurposed for former President Donald Trump!  But can any intelligent, sane, moral human being really think that all of the evidence against Trump throughout the last three decades is all a lie?

Parrish and Aunt Bo remind everyone just how much fact piles up in the unbelievably big shit pile of wrongdoings that Mr. Trump has defecated all over the American people.  There definitely IS Trump Derangement Syndrome- but on the other side of the aisle!

This is episode 29: Ketamine!  

For many years, ketamine use outside of medical facilities was rampant in club settings by younger people looking to get high.  Known as "special K," snorting ketamine gave users a sedated version of euphoria unlike any other mind altering substance.  Not inherently dangerous or expensive, it became very popular.  But there were certainly no medicinal benefits in those settings.  The past decade or so, many proponents of ketamine as a therapeutic aide have been dedicating lots of time and money towards bringing ketamine therapy to the mainstream.  Sam Mandel and his father started Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles, one of the first to open in the US in 2014.  Sam takes us on his journey and explains the extreme benefits of ketamine therapy.  

Here are just some of the things Sam discusses with Parrish:

The therapy is excellent for an array of mental health issues
The difference between psilocybin therapy and ketamine therapy
Ketamine is legal in all states for medical purposes
Ketamine therapy has an 83% success rate at Sam's clinics
The difference between ketamine as a medicine and Special K, the party drug

Happy Halloween, folks!  What better time to conjure up some evil spirits with Parrish and Aunt Bo? This is episode 28: OUIJA!

Do you believe in the wives' tales about the dangers of the Ouija board?  Have you ever had a bad experience or have you just never touched one because mommy told you not to?  No matter what religious denomination people adhere to, many Americans would not touch a Ouija board because of all the warnings from family, friends, priests and blockbuster movies.  But not many actually have a scary experience story to tell.  In fact with over 25 million Ouija boards sold in the last 100 years, there are less than 10 confirmed cases that the board has any relation to something bad happening.  LESS THAN 10!

So this Halloween, Parrish and Aunt Bo lay hands on the plancette to see who's watching them and what they can summon from the netherworld.

This is our first POP SHORT episode where we discuss the hottest news in pop culture, entertainment and around the world.  This edition we discuss the terror that has transpired in Israel as they were bombed and massacred by Palestinian forces known as Hamas.

Aunt Bo, who is Jewish, feels an extreme sense of horror and sadness watching this unfold after a lifetime being subject to anti-semetism. The problem is, much of the world on social media continues to scream "Free Palestine" and the side of the oppressor, without having any real knowledge of what they are declaring with that support.  This is a very important conversation that everyone should hear.

Parrish and Aunt Bo are back with Episode 27!  Their special guest is Savannah Hauk, who lives as a female for a small portion of her life and then as a man the rest of the time.  Savannah is an alter ego, of sorts, of Chuck- who is a married heterosexual female who considers herself gender diverse.  Confused?  You're not alone.  And subjects like this have sparked debates and controversy around the country as some people just want to live their lives the way that makes them happy while others refuse to accept any other way of living or thinking then they are accustomed to- even if they aren't being hurt in the process.  

The hosts ask Savannah:

When did you first have this desire to live as a female?
Why do you expect others to refer to you as a female if you are biologically a male?
Are you heterosexual?
Does your significant other spend time with Savannah?

We learned a lot on this episode that we didn't know and we hope you will too.

Drew and Hudson are back in the saddle with Parrish and this episode they are discussing dating, marriage, and having children.  Why?  Because our episodes Generation Gap and Masturbation Nation have taught us that the younger generations are doing less and less of all three once-solid life events.

With erectile dysfunction increasing among males, and at much earlier ages; the lack of dating; the lack of sex; the new infrequency of marriage and the drop in childbearing, the United States appears to be engaging in its own unplanned population control.  So what do the co-hosts see for their futures?  Drew is already engaged, but Parrish and Hudson are nowhere near it.  Sound engineer Ethan returns for another episode and Parrish makes him think twice about that promise ring he's wearing.

AND a very special last minute surprise- AUNT BO REVEALS HERSELF!  That's right, after three years of being anonymous, Aunt Bo finally shows the world who she really is.  

What has Aunt Bo learned in her 50 years?

What are some new things you can learn after 50?

What does aging look like compared to 30 years ago?
