Sigmund Fraud
Sigmund Fraud
Ian Herrin
New York based actor, comedian, and improviser Ian Herrin is a terrible therapist and no one should go see him. As a former patient, I feel it's my personal responsibility to expose Ian as the unprofessional, unqualified Sigmund Fraud that he has always been. You can hear a new leaked therapy session featuring Ian's diverse cast of talented patients every single Monday with frequent Thursday bonus eps!
Quentin Anonymous with Stephen Mann
Quentin is responsible for some of the worst conspiracy theories this world has ever seen and has so much he could work through with a high quality therapist. Unfortunately, by choosing to work with a real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin, Quentin is bound to only repeat his past patterns and makes things worse. Maybe you shouldn't replace one vice with another vice and carry around a hammer from your rage! Get out of there, Quentin, and maybe stop writing fiction people extrapolate to be true!!!Ah, now you must be a high ranking level of the Illuminati, because you've found the best and most secretive part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the tremendously funny comedian and improv teacher Stephen Mann! You can catch Stephen teaching and performing at Far Away Theater in Alabama, farawaybham.com.

Marcus with Mike Poole
Marcus is a frequent clubber that gets money, but clearly his romantic partner is hoping that therapy will help his long term growth. But why on Earth would that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist whose Zocdoc photo is a feet pic Ian Herrin ever be in a position to help anyone?? Marcus needs a real professional and instead Ian gets railroaded and goaded into fights because Ian is a little mama's boy and certainly not a grown man. He barely even keeps the office stray animals safe on his own, so how can Marcus expect Ian to be of any help to him?? Get out of there, Marcus, and find someone who actually stands a chance of breaking through to you because you REALLY need it!!Ah, you must get money, because you've found the most money part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the tremendously talented improviser and teacher Mike Poole.
