Sanesplaining

An essay by Daniel Crocker. Twigger warning: sexual molestation.

We talk the classic film, "Light of Day." We celebrate Mr. Rodgers. Dan reads a poem that makes him nervous. Margaret's new book. Health update. The sanes are throwing cheese slices at their babies. Oh, there's all kinds of good stuff in this one. If you enjoy the show, please hit the like button and consider subscribing. If you don't like the show, shhhhhhhh.

Update on Dan's health. Dan's new doctor is a bipolarphobe. Margaret may be a Lizard person. Dan upsets the Wiccans, but really all he said was that he doesn't believe in magic. I mean, if he no longer believes in the Evangelical God he was brainwashed into believing in as a child, why would he believe in magic. It just doesn't make sense, man. You can't break the laws of physics. Smernie Smanders

We didn't edit this one. Dan's health crisis. Nate's ghost story. Best show ever.

Dan's insurance suddenly won't pay for his Vraylar. The multiverse theory. Dan and Margaret talk about how weird they were as kids. The sexism of the Xanth novels. Then, Marybeth Niederkorn joins us to talk about her new book of poetry, "Times New Roamin'" from Spartan Press. We also discuss the possibility of living in a computer simulation, the Mandela Effect, the journalist life and much more. Marybeth reads several excellent poems.

Shit sane people write. Glitter balls. Poetry. Margaret falls in love with Thurston Howell the Third. Mike Pence is Evil. The lewdness of Conway Twitty. We dissect "Don't Call Him a Cowboy."

Nate stops by for story time. Realistic names for bipolar medication. Side-effects of medication, including Vraylar. A few poems. Judging people by their accent.

Is Dan manic or not? Robes and the Robe Lifestyle. Our guest is poet Mike James, author of "First-Hand Accounts From Made-Up Places" (Stubborn Mule Press). We talk Carol Channing, Gillette, Mike's new book, Roddy Piper, Musicals, They Live, Bob Ross and much more.

Dan's pharmacy is out of Klonopin because of a manufacturing issue, and they don't know when they'll have it back in. Klonopin withdrawal. Hallucinations. Margaret wants Dan to see a therapist. Poet and editor Rebecca Shumejda joins us to talk phobias, 20 pounds buckets of mac and cheese, and much more.

Dr. Chase Dimock joins us. We talk about living with the fear that your mental health will get too bad to work. We talk the Oscars, the Golden Globes, Dan's trip to London, fancy restaurants and much more.
