- Why is Therapy Made to Seem Like a Secret Shame?
Dan’s kids are teenagers and he’s noticed that the next generation is much more open and accepting about therapy. Kids in their friend groups talk about having a therapist or needing counseling and there’s little to no shame attached to it. So it got him thinking, is the perspective shifting? In this episode, Kim and Dan discuss therapy and ask the question, ‘Why is Therapy Made to Seem Like a Secret Shame?’

48 min - Olympic Controversy: Should We Cancel the Games?
With the controversy surrounding the 2022 Winter Olympic games in Beijing (Covid19 concerns, diplomatic problems, human rights violations, the environmental impact of The Games), Dan and Kim asked the question, “Should we cancel the Olympics in general?”
Instead of your faithful hosts answering this question— who, despite their amazing coordination and athletic prowess, have never competed at any level even close to Olympic status— Kim and Dan invited an actual gold-medal Olympian to share her thoughts.
Michelle Carter, Shot Diva, won gold in shotput in Rio in 2016. She was the first American to win gold in that competition. She also is a proud Black woman. Michelle brought her experience and perspective to the conversation with some wonderful insight.

53 min - The Student Loan Forgiveness Debate
Student loan forgiveness is a highly debated subject. Whether you face a mountain of debt, or you’ve never had it, this debate is probably on your mind.
About 44.7 million Americans have outstanding student loan debt, totaling over $1.86tn, with 42.3 million Americans holding federal student loan debt. (Source: The Guardian)
The questions are: If you took out that loan, should you have to pay it back? If the government hasn’t needed the money over the last couple years, why do they need it at all? Should higher education cost this much in the first place?
Kim and Dan have a spirited and personal discussion on this national conversation.

41 min - What is the Purpose of the Supreme Court?

Find out what we should do about the SCOTUS in order to ensure the success of our Democracy. Or our Democratic Republic. Whatever.

37 min - Intent is not Everything
While someone’s intent can be an important factor in their interactions with others, it’s not everything.
‘It wasn’t my intention’ or the very similar ‘Well I didn’t mean it that way’ can still hurt others.
In this episode, Dan and Kim discuss intent and how we treat others. And yeah, it gets awkward.
