My Good Bad Brain

Avital Ash, a terrific comedian and writer and actor and all around artist type, has a lovely and longer than I expected (what else is new) talk with me about, well, everything? She has some depression and anxiety and other things and we talk about all of it, we talk about darkness and turning that into light, it's just a typical good bad brain mindjam sesh and I hope you dig it as much as I did.

This episode is a conversation with my pal Jason Scardamalia, who lives with me. The comfort and closeness of this makes it almost feel like a brain breather, I think. We discuss the standard models of heteronormative fulfillment and companionship, how we especially as straight men are allowed to feel love and happiness, and the reality of alternatives we have found in our real life of living together and having nourishing friendships with our social circles. We also get into aging and the idea of "maturing" in today's strange world, one with the internet and life modeled by celebrity and drama. I hope you enjoy this chat of ours, I hope you get something out of it that helps or entertains you. Be well, self-care, hydrate.

This is the first episode we've done with a mental health professional! Dr. Nicholas Barr is a PhD who has mainly focused his therapeutic studies and work on the area of trauma, especially with combat veterans and homeless youth populations. I talk to much, I think I was maybe kind of anxious or something, I got way more emotional and divulgey on this one at times than I usually do. Nick is really great about it anyway! We had a fascinating talk about trauma, what is it, what does it mean when we say trauma, can we heal trauma, how, what does validation mean, and on and on in typical good bad brain fashion. I hope you dig this show as much as I enjoyed recording it. ALSO people walk in and out of this recording more than, like, any I've done. It's wild. I hope you enjoy this long talk about what fucks us up and how we can get unfucked up! My words, not his, ableist as fuck, sorry. I have to be irreverent about my kooky brain, mmkay!? Lots of love, self-care, hydrate, byeeeeee...

My good pal Joslyn Davis comes around and we talk about how she stays so Joslyn! Truly Joslyn is a very uniquely bright person, I believe, yet I feel we have a lot in common. I wanted to ask her how she has a brain that seems to think and speed along similarly to mine without it driving her off into the dark parts of town. It's a delight!

Also, my apologies, I messed up recording this so the audio quality of the interview isn't as good as it usually is. It kinda sounds like you're listening to a phone convo? I still think it's a nice talk!

If you dig the show, share us with friends, leave us a review, or throw us cash money at patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain ! Thanks y'all!

Hey guys. Been havin' a weird one, so here's me goin' through it. I try to avoid this podcast being too like personal processing therapy and a little more broad and applicable about the theoretical, philosophical aspects of mental health but... eh, today I talk about some stuff. Stuff about my dad, my patterns of relationship, and I also spoil A Star is Born about halfway through so... just know that.

Thanks a lot, check out the Patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain if you like the pod, or give us a nice review too, those are both super helpful things! Thanks a lot, take care of yourselves.
