Us At Our Worst episodes:

December 05, 2025 S1:E26 I LOST MY MIND IN A BEDSIDE COMMODE
Truly a title for the ages. One you don't want to miss. No seriously folks...this is a grittier episode and worth the listen for solid advice on how the F to manage things when/if you, as a caregiver for your loved one, have to manage the whole bedside commode situation. It's something nobody talks about it. No one prepares you for it. And believe me when I say that you want to not be caught unawares when/if the bedside commode is sitting there in the middle your reality. Want to watch these episodes?: YOUTUBE CHANNEL

November 06, 2025 S1:E22 THE REAL PHYLLIS MORRIS
Episode 22 is a doozy. You get to hear my mom's voice. Plus a lot of big questions, challenging moments: Who should get the inheritance? How and why do caregivers lose their bearings? What makes a sane person start resting their head on random hallway walls? How long do you wait to reconnect with a sibling who didn't help? What happens when both parents are no longer thinking clearly?

The video interview with mom in 2019 - https://youtu.be/zgMKzVtRwOk?si=dWm0fOBhmF9Sqig0
Special thanks to Garth Ryan for the awesome idea to include my mom's voice in this episode.
