In this episode, Catfish derides the two worst parts of renting a car: picking it up, and dropping it off. Carl shares the secrets of how a telemarketer could reach him successfully. Finally, a listener's Hatemail adds to the discussion from last week's episode in a most welcome way.

Carl grills Catfish about anti-depressants, supposedly interested in maybe reconsidering anti-anxiety medication. But we all know he won't actually do anything. Catfish describes in intimate detail how he came to have the reputation of a particular type of lover. And the boys dredge up some nonsense for their affirmation based on some book an unnamed audio book distributor recommended. Still waiting for that check to clear...

Natalia returns to tell her story of finally getting to see a therapist. The boys have a bit of a role reversal of attitude resulting from a more on-brand response to weather phenomenon. And Natalia makes Carl cry with a story out of comic-con. Check out the video mentioned in the episode here.

The boys disagree to disagree in this episode about other forms of dysmorphia prompted by a half-remembered episode of Harmontown and a therapy session from a few months ago. It goes so well! Also, Catfish talks about Valentine's Day (kinda?). And there's an affirmation from the live show that makes perfect sense!

A friend of the podcast invited Carl and Catfish to see a play about depression and suicide. It was great! So they talk about it for an episode. Mostly about how they feel about listening to Jazz on vinyl. Also, Catfish introduces a new segment. Listen and learn the hashtag!

Did you enjoy the live episode? Did you worry that the sound fidelity might not meet our usual standards? Did you want to hear Carl and Catfish talk about the live episode with lower sound fidelity than the live episode because Carl forgot to switch over the input for the recording software from the laptop's internal microphone to the professional-esque sound board? Then you will love this episode! Also Catfish gets a title promotion with no additional pay or responsibilities.

The boys recorded the first live podcast performance at Tucson Fringe Festival on Sunday, January 13 in front of a live studio audience! There's quite a kerfuffle over the topic at hand as both Catfish and Carl prepared for different topics. Multiple guests join them on stage, but that doesn't make it much better. Finally, Catfish suggests they open up their relationship to other people. For the last week Carl has remained uncertain if this means Catfish wants to break up or be poly-amorous.

Continuing the suspense of last week's episode, Catfish delves into a specific conversation in which he was at a loss for how to move forward. Carl makes accusations and proceeds to withdraw them. Finally, that article mentioned in last week's description is actually discussed!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our live podcast recording at the Tucson Fringe Festival yesterday. It was a hoot and a half!

Happy New Year! Your resolutions won't make you happy, according to Nate Silver's 538 Blog, but listening to this podcast might? In this first half of a bombastic two-part episode (the second half for which you will only need wait a week as compared to the third season finale/fourth season premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Best of Both Worlds) Catfish opens up about having difficulty opening up to people. Don't worry, Carl talks too much about his trip to Hawaii, and they build some affirmations instead of just tearing them down!
