Sigmund Fraud

Green alien and a superior being well trained in martial arts Piccolo arrives in Ian's office space after having left a hole in his roof in his last session. And yet, as weird of an entity as Piccolo seems to be, it's not at all a surprise that Ian is like, way weirder right? If Ian is an example of humanity, maybe Piccolo should consider ending the universe!

The part where I get to tell you about the tremendously talented improviser and podcast host Vince White of the Kame House Party podcast and Shonen Chumps series of live shows and podcast.

Another filthy Christmas therapy spectacular with Santa turning the tables to provide his annual therapeutic advice proves once again Ian Herrin should not only not be touched with a ten and a half foot pole but is also a real Sigmund Fraud. Santa's drug use certainly doesn't help keep things on the rails as he issues truly awful advice to his apparent frenemy. Put him on your naughty list, Santa!!

Peter Dammond is a main experiencing blackouts and lost time. This can be a very dangerous life circumstance to navigate, but perhaps even more dangerous is choosing that real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin to try and resolve this sensitive issue! Anybody would be a better therapist than he is!! Especially Miami Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra!

Webster A. Boob has been sent by his parents to see a therapist to help him overcome the obvious obstacles he faces within his loving romantic relationship. But because they've unfortunately employed the services of that real Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin, Webster is much less inclined to get the real help he needs. Don't listen to how Ian defines sex or really any of the other dumb things he says, Webster! I can't say you're thriving on your own, but you certainly would be better without this advice!

Ah, your parents must approve of your relationship because you've found the best part of the episode description!

You can also take a class with Jonathan through IO theater!

Bill Clinton (not that one) is having issues with erectile dysfunction. And for some reason, this is the patient that real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin decides he's willing to leave the confines of his office space to conduct a house call?!? Bill, it is not normal for a therapist to spend half the session remarking upon things in your private home! And also, you sound like maybe you have a real medical issue that is beyond the bounds of mental health! Ian will not help you he will only lead you to seedier and seedier topics!!

Alright, alright, alright look who went the full McConaughey and found the best part of the episode description!

Father and son duo Jaime and Curtis Foster are in the midst of a rather freaky experience based on a wish made at the Pride parade. But with an incompetent Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin at the helm is there any hope the Fosters will make it back home with their piece of mind in tact? Not to mention all the unforced sidetracking that once again plagues an Ian session. You'd think a borderline supernatural occurrence like this would call for a bit more focus! Please find another therapist, Fosters!!

Self-described protagonist Catherine St. Pickme steps into the real world seeking a solution to her love triangle, but somehow steps right into a love rhombus when terrible therapist Ian Herrin falls head over heels for her right away. There's no way it's ethical for Ian to be steering the session towards asking Catherine out like he does!

Pig farmer Dunch Baggins has a wild accusation as to what has happened to his missing wife. But with a real Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin for a therapist, will Dunch even be able to get to his theory, or will he be forced to hear full recaps of a Ron White standup bit?? Maybe if Ian wasn't so comedy obsessed he'd realize Dunch needs actual help and not the latest gossip on Hasan Minhaj's exaggerations. As is, the reveal as to what's really going on with Dunch's podcast is WAY crazy and takes WAY too long to get to and was probably worth unpacking the whole time Ian was yet again going off on tangents!!

Ah, now you must be a high end comedy connoisseur familiar with the work of the Blue Collar Comedy tour, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to shout out the wonderful actor and improviser David Greenslade! Be sure you catch David sitting in with Woodstock and performing around NYC!

Jack Kleenex is a man stuck in a time loop reliving the same day over and over again. But is it a time loop or is it Hell to have to see such a Sigmund Fraud of a therapist as Ian Herrin over and over and over again?? Is this the timeline where Ian is perhaps the dumbest and least helpful? It certainly feels like it! Who cares if your loop will end and your day will start over if you don't go see Ian, Jack, still DON'T GO!!!

Ah, now you must be smart enough to escape a time loop because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Afghan translator and American hero Amir Baba Rahim Khan Ali Taheri Hassan is still struggling to obtain citizenship. And certainly in this gig economy, Amir could benefit from a good therapist! Unfortunately, Amir goes to that real Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin instead. And would you believe once again, Ian behaves inappropriately? I mean, how many times does this guy need to be an overly sexualized goofball before people realize he's a hack?? Get out of there, Amir! You deserve better!!
