Stop Hating Yourself

As far as milestone episodes go, this is one. Carl and Catfish discuss the State of the Hate after 25 whole episodes, what they like, what they want more of, and how much they love the audience. Yes, the audience, you folks, listeners, who listen to the episodes. They love you. They also share a pretty big announcement at the end if I don't say so myself.

No, Carl didn't make three glaring errors in the title. This episode announces Carl's November fundraiser for Men's Health. Carl is trying to raise $1000 towards suicide prevention and men's mental health through Movember.com Join up and/or donate at https://mobro.co/cjcase?mc=1 and join the Stop Hating Yourself Team at https://moteam.co/stop-hating-yourself?mc=1 Yeah, the 31 days was a mistake. You wanna make something of it?

Catfish and Carl discuss losing a wheel, what health doesn't mean to them, and something else I'm pretty sure (I nodded off while listening tbh). There are a lot of ways physical and mental health interact, and for these boys, few of them are positive. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get your ass to therapy, or have a "Doctor" check your "Testicles," and that is what Movember is about. Don't let your bullshit bravado keep you from getting help.

Making up for last week's organized discussion with a professional therapist, the boys Catfish and Carl ramble on about their week and stuff that happened. Catfish had some disappointing news about a loved one, but he also had some success! Carl channels the antithesis of some Garbage lyrics. Everyone has a great time. And we end with a tripartite Affirmation or Some Other BS!

In this ep, Carl and Catfish talk to therapist Dr. Daniel Schulte about what things look like from a therapist's perspective. Dr. Schulte answers some listener questions such as who needs therapy (**spoiler** everyone does, but not all the time) and dating around to find a good match with a therapist. If you find yourself looking, check out psychologytoday.com or your State's Psychological Association, as well as your own Health Insurance Company's website (if you are lucky enough to have coverage).

In this episode we get deep into a complicated and delicate topic: getting a flat. We discuss how our parents handle getting flat tires and the different ways we have experienced flats in our lives. Carl almost cries while discussing the various tires he has lost in his life. And of course this is actually all about death and grieving. Finally the boys tear Mr. Rogers a new one.

Who knew that a simple web search (or hashtag following) is all that is needed to find the easiest way to beat depression? Thank goodness for Tumblr! And oddly ordered lists! Also, we launched our website, but someone poached the one we wanted. Yay?

We welcome our fourth guest, Leigh Moyer! Unlike Carl and Catfish, who are only in this for themselves, she is actually helping people. She runs a drop-in support group here in Tucson called A Meeting Between the Ears every week. She tells us about what led her to start her group and what it is all about. Of course the boys can't help but ruin it with bad English accents and "improv". Check out more at https://ameetingbetweentheears.com

Carl and Catfish successfully discuss their relationship with food and dieting while skirting openly body shaming themselves. This took effort people! Both of the guys have histories with food anxiety stemming from family, but in unique and different ways. Plus this week's #affirmationorsomeotherBS is actually helpful!

Hi everyone! Remember how this podcast is helping ourselves while entertaining you? Well this one is all entertainment, baby! Catfish and Carl guest-starred on a semi-improvised DnD game in Portland put on by the Brass Bells Society. It was tons of fun! Apologies for some of the audio, we recorded on a phone. Check out Brass Bells on Facebook for upcoming shows and events.

Carl and Catfish welcome their third guest, their friend Natalia! We discuss the cycles of hope and rejection, especially as they apply to performance art. Why do we do this to ourselves...
