Struggles in life can be hard to traverse, but on this episode we shed some light on how therapy/counseling has helped each of us (and is continuing to help us) navigate some of our toughest times.

As a precursor to next week's episode on therapy, on this episode Logan and Asher talk about that feeling we all experience when we're longing for the past - nostalgia.

On one of our strangest episodes yet, Lance and Asher talk about our favorite live-action cats and dogs movie, growing up with cats and dogs, strange things that people say involving cats and dogs, side quests/rabbit trails, and PTSD.
