The Mormon prophet thought barley drinks were cool, feat. Paul
Paul and I continue our talk about the LDS (aka Mormon) Word of Wisdom. No coffee (probably), no alcohol (maybe), and other restrictions create a perfect environment for obsession and perhaps addiction. If you haven't listened to the first part of the conversation go back one episode!  Please tell your friends if you like this podcast, and/or pray for me. I will also accept good vibes and monetary donations.

Coffee drinkers go to sad heaven (featuring Paul)
Paul is back to talk about mormonism and this time we are chatting about hot drinks! Mormons are not allowed to drink coffee or tea but it's a complicated rule that has changed over the past 150 years. We talk about drive-throughs for soft drinks, whether or not diet coke is allowed in Mormonism, and who you can visit in sad heaven. This episode is especially for our friend Amelia who is extremely amazing and we are thinking about her. Follow me on Instagram and make sure you subscribe to the podcast.

This Episode Has Sound (but not sound advice) - Past Therapist part 2
UPDATE- I previously released this episode without any sound. It was just the theme song and then silence. My brain withdrawing from benzos and I forgot to give it a quick listen before I posted it. But here are my thoughts on more bad advice from therapists that I've collected, with more than a few digressions along the way. Therapists are not always right. They are not always wrong either, but when they are, terrible things can happen. Email me your therapy horror stories at [email protected].
