Matt Tinney and Ben Melendrez start this episode off with a talk about how Matt was greeted and if it was an effective way of using a name mnemonic​.

After Godzilla we discuss all the creatures of the unknown. Ben speaks on his role in the Crisis Intervention Unit and what has changed. We speak about the role of a fulltime CIT Coordinator. We will be at the American Psychiatric Association meeting this May, 2018.
