  • 11: Titrating Vulnerability

  • 6: End of the (quarantine) affair (?)

  • 5: Quarantining with Clara, plus OCD exposure (not) therapy

    The boys (finally!) dig into what went down with Clara, the woman Adam came out to San Francisco to quarantine with. But first, Dr. Eipper has to convince his (not) patient to keep recording this episode, which turns out to be an OCD exposure itself. They also discuss prayer as a tool for surrender and how it's really hard to not take everything personally.

  • 3: Love in the time of OCD

    J+A explore Adam's romantic relationships after he developed OCD, grappling with all sorts of questions along the way. Is sex sacred, or is it OK to just have fun? Is it easier to open your heart when you know the relationship has an expiration date? Is the whole concept of manifesting BS? Or did you just manifest this episode?

  • 2: Adam's origin story: mental hospitals, body dysmorphic disorder, and the heartbreak that led to OCD. We promise this is funnier than it sounds.
    The guys begin cataloging Adam's relationship history, starting with his first love at age 18 and the subsequent breakup which landed him in a mental hospital. Along the way they touch on Adam's crippling adolescent Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Jordan's slightly less crippling teenage fixation with his own perceived physical flaws, psychoanalytic object relations theory, and confidence with women. They end with the heartbreak that led to Adam's developing OCD. We promise this is all a lot funnier than it sounds.
