Sigmund Fraud

Hank Mug is an insomniac struggling with being overly self-reliant. And yet, first thing he does is ask that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist of his if he can mooch an energy drink out of the mini-fridge. Don't be sucked in by all the pomp and circumstance of the Office Space, Hank! Ian will probably just talking about his failed dating life again. You need to address the impracticality of your sleeping arrangement if you ever want to realistically get some shut eye!!

No new episode this Monday but Season 2 of Sigmund Fraud will return 1/9/23! Thanks to everybody who makes this show possible, but especially thanks to you, our listeners!!! 

Wait, what the actual fuck??? That Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin is in therapy himself and sees his therapist only once a year?? And it's the friggin' almighty supernatural being Santa Clause?!?!?!? How dare Ian make Santa do this!!! And of all days, he chooses the most sacred of holidays, BOXING DAY! You don't have to do this, Santa!! Clearly not all naughty children are capable of the introspection required for personal growth, especially if they refuse to shower properly!!! 

Yet another parole ordered client Rob Picchiotti arrives in the office space still fuming that Aaron Judge considered playing for a team besides the Yankees in free agency. And somehow the the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin wants to blame the concept of masculinity in general and let Rob off the hook for his road rage incident?? Don't listen to Ian, Rob! I guarantee you the way he defines women in contrast to men is just not accurate and will backfire! You don't want to end up like Charlie from Two and a Half Man Show!

Dr. Tumbridge Diddlebottom's HR issues follow him everywhere he goes, especially when he's in an orchid. And yet, somehow he finds a way to manage being a nearly fully gruntled man. Not that this real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is going to be able to help him much. Ian's obsession with fame and problematic relationship with his English grandmother are almost assuredly going to take over the conversation. Don't listen to this episode, Ian's mom! And listen to those nice HR people more, Dr. Diddlebottom! 

The midwestern soccer mom Cookie Baker is not all she appears to be. It actually makes a lot of sense why someone like her would need therapy, but what makes positively no sense at all is why this wackadoo Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is indulging her inappropriate behavior. Your family is built on a lie, Cookie! There is no Rashomon scenario in which you are the good person! 

Well you must be a good person that knows how to protect their son, cause you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser, comedian, and host Mark Said. You can catch Mark at shows all over New York and online, including at Armory Barracks jams and events. If you bump into Mark, ask him more about his fostering of dogs and what you can do to help!  

Self-described tech She.E.O./Girl Boss Lisa Fuller is so busy she only has time for therapy on Thanksgiving Day. But does she have any idea what kind of anxiety is brought out in Ian on a day he decided to cook a full meal for his beloved mom?? Ian's clearly not in a healthy place if he shouts your son's name, Lisa! Go back to your Yoga and physical therapy cause Ian's the real quack! Stephen sounds like a lovely husband, although the circumstances of your marriage are quite problematic and should be worked out with a real therapist. And maybe, Lisa, a real therapist could also help you support women more than just by extension?? 

Ingrid Solo wants to defy her name and finally be a part of a dynamic duo; the peanut butter to her jelly, the Thelma to her Louise,  the 11 pilots to her 10 pilots. And wouldn't you know that jealous Fraud  of a therapist Ian Herrin somehow thinks he could be a part of Ingrid's duo, so long as Ian's priorities come first. Don't take his advice, Ingrid! A baguette is not the ideal bread for peanut butter! Not to  mention his other suggestion, albeit based on a famous novel, is a CRIME! He's not the cool guy he pretends to be and you need to find  someone healthier to bounce off of!!

Ahhh,  you must be a discerning member of the Rebel alliance! Did Hans send you? Regardless, it takes a keen eye like yours to find this, the best part of the episode description. The part where I get to tell you all  about the wonderfully talented Shamarah Hernandez! Be sure you follow  Shamarah on Instagram to hear about all her latest projects @shamarah_

Big Ridge is a simple guy who only wants to talk about his dog Shelby. Kinda pure and sweet, right?? Well you know a Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin can't help himself and insists on digging deeper and deeper into lower depths of depravity too spicy to even attempt to recap in a public facing episode description. If only they stopped at Duke! LEAVE IT AT THE DOGS, IAN! DON'T MAKE IT CRUNCHY!!

Well looks like you made it crunchy after all?? Good news for you, cause that led to you finding the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about my magnificent friend, the brilliant improviser and performer Jacob Davis. Be sure you follow Jacob on social media @mattdammot and follow his hilarious improv team Mercy Santos @mercysantosimprov on Instagram

Cultural Emissary to Indian culture Ashok Srinivasan has lived through some challenging times in his life, including one full week of unemployment. Ashok doesn't always feel like people see what he's like on the inside, but he's sorely mistaken if he thinks this Ian guy is going to be able to provide anything helpful in a therapy session to help him process his identity and how he's perceived. Quite clearly, all Ian is good for yet again is driving the conversation back to how great he is and networking in the entertainment industry. Ashok, you are so good with your words and your pen, don't let Ian cut you down with his terrible advice and sword!!

Ahhh, you must be like T-Swift an honorary doctor! For you have intelligently discovered the best part of the episode description, the part where you get to hear about the wonderful writer and performer Harsha Vardhan Dasarathy! You can check out Harsha's tremendously thoughtful and entertaining blog about his immigration experiences here:
