Anyone who's gone through a breakup understands the immediate impulse to go back and fix it, to get back together and return to a happier time. And Rachel McLatchie is here to tell you NO. Trying to salvage a relationship when you're not ready leads to worse things down the line, and Brendan and Rachel unpack all of that, as well as psychedelic drugs, depression, and The Burger Analogy. Also Rachel and Brendan outline plans for their upcoming all improv musical project, and Rachel teaches us all about the healing power of holding a funeral for your relationship.

Quarantine got you down? Heart to heavy to handle another talk about breakups? Take a break with an extra special bonus episode of Shredded with Ben Sosa Wright, wherein Brendan and Ben try and fail spectacularly to keep on the topic of the podcast. Instead, we talk Cats: The Movie, queer youth sexuality, Glee, Gay Voice, Florence AND The Machine, power bottoming, being a child comedy prodigy, everything EXCEPT for breakups.
