Sigmund Fraud - podcast cover

Sigmund Fraud

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!

Miranda Cross with Alexandra Spieth

Filmmaker Miranda Cross and her crew have a secret long since forgotten at the Holiday Inn Express, but clearly it still weighs heavily on her mind. But with a no good Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin on her case, Miranda seems like she's going to lean into some bad behaviors at Ian's behest. There are certain sins that are worth breaching therapist-patient confidentiality over and this most certainly should qualify! Ah, now you must be a professional who can appreciate a good dolly ...

Pickles Johannesberg with April Sickler

Eccentric rich man Pickles Johannesberg is up to so many nefarious undertakings it's truly tricky to keep track of all the mischief afoot. And Ian Herrin is such a terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist he seems to act more as Pickles' accomplice than a guardian of mental health should. Children deserve to know who their father is and some Jimmy's deserve hats. And even if Pickles is a little Wario like, he probably doesn't want to hear it from someone he's trusting in a therapy setting. If you o...

Davey Bo Davey with Sam Kamenetz

Frankie Cruz with Xave Padin

Frankie is a slightly susceptible guy just checking in from his tour in New Orleans to talk about his indigestion, but something more sinister seems to be going on. Something so dark that the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin will likely never be able to control. You need professional help, Frankie! It was more than just a meatball sub! And I'm pretty sure Ian stole at least $10 from you!! Amen, you must be a sacred lamb indeed because you've found the best part of the episode description!...

Matsuyama with Jon Lu

Matsuyama is a samurai who deliberately curbs his sexual desires in order to access his full and often violent powers. But if he thinks that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is gonna do anything productive to help him think about sex less, he is quite literally sorely mistaken! Not to mention I'm not even sure if Ian has a baseline understanding of the male reproductive system? What would your chat friend Batman say, Matsuyama?? Get out of there and don't give up your powers!!! Ahh, you m...

Tykel Phelps with Ryan Barker

Tykel Phelps has a very particular job that's become increasingly stressful, but it's a very babyish decision at best to think seeing the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist known as Ian Herrin would help with anything! No no, instead Ian this week seems keen to play his body as a musical instrument, miss out on some basic observations about his new client, and reaches to assume Tykel has several celebrity relatives based on flimsy evidence at best. Get out of their, Tykel, before Ian has you start cry...

Fritz Von Trap with Will Jacobs

A young nubile time traveling German boy like Fritz Von Trap deserves better therapy than that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is capable of giving. What could've been a delicate conversation about blooming male sexuality instead quickly becomes about porn and butt plugs. Fritz, think of Ian as the Wig Man in the Wig Shack and STAY AWAY!!! Guten Tag! You must have adapted well from your time travel because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tel...

Officer Mike Costanotzo with Alexis Pereira

MTA officer Mike Costanotzo suffered an "incident" that he's not all too fond of bringing up right away despite his captain's recommendation he go to therapy three or four times. But it's an endless feedback loop of trouble when a problematic officer like Mike meets up with a problematic therapist like that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin. Ian, therapy isn't like lawyers, you can actually call out some of this bad behavior if you think it's in the interest of public safety! Perhaps Mike shouldn't have ...

Harold Pike with Wander Boesjes

Poor Harold Pike seems like he struggles in relationships. More importantly, he truly believes that he has just pissed off a bunch of Greek Gods by being so irresistibly sexy that he incidentally seduced many of them without considering how the others might get jealous. But would a flunking Latin student like the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is really be the right fit to help Harold out? Or is this session yet another excuse for Ian to be manipulative and talk about sex in as crass a ...

John Wick with Donald Chang

John Wick oddly seems like he's doing surprisingly well under the guidance of that terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin, but with show anxiety in the air, Ian finally seems like he's ready to reverse all of John's progress in one day. Lean in to your inner David Attenborough, John! That's the best side of you! Some improvisers can do sketch and some sketch performers can do improv and switching between the two is okay and even healthy sometimes! Don't let Ian coax you back into a lif...

Oopsie Poopsie the Nightmare Clown with Nick Pearl

This can't be real?? A Nightmare Clown that embodies the fears of children?!? A literal friggin' demon!?! Well it certainly doesn't have a chance of getting its existence back on track if it's going to Ian Herrin for therapy! That's the one demon even darker and scarier than it is!! Not everyone is cut out to be a Toxic Avenger! For goodness sake, these two are even struggling to remember basic superhero names! Although Oopsie Poopsie does have some impressive Hancock knowledge oddly enough... A...

Chad GPT with Marshall Stratton

A.I. come to life in the fraternity bro formerly known as Chad and younger brother of Chat, Chad GPT has a number on eccentric insecurities perhaps a real therapist could help him with if only he would stop getting cease and desists. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't send out a cease and desist of your own when you meet a therapist as awful as that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin! Ian yet again is obsessed with details, pop culture, and sex in a way that will likely never help Chad GPT to retain more...

Fabio Fontanelli with Michael Rosenberg

Fabio Fontanelli is a gonzo journalist that seemingly gets a little too deep into his undercover work. But with the terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin, will Fabio ever be able to understand that his footprint often detracts from the objectivity of the story he's trying to tell? Likely not, especially if Fabio insists on talking about his dreams and parents the whole time. Is the familial warfare between two competing ice cream truck syndicates in New York City really all that inter...

Jean de Vil with Audrey Garrett

Jean de Vil, daughter to Cruella, mostly just wants to talk about her nail salon. But wouldn't you know with Ian Herrin as her Sigmund Fraud of a therapist, Jean will almost definitely never get a chance to expound upon her love for her part time work! Instead would you believe Ian somehow steers the conversation towards his collegiate rivalry? And what about Jean's mysterious relationship with her celebrity father?? How's Jean ever supposed to get to the bottom of what's really going on with he...

Jazz Swelltet with Brian Morabito

Jazz Swelltet is a psychopathic rage filled murdering stepfather with a Denim obsession from Rhode Island. But does the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin hold Jazz accountable for any murdering at all? No. Of course he doesn't. Instead he's once again laser focused on his own romantic interests and references to Broadway musicals. And what Ms. Swelltet is doing behind and in front of Jazz's back is truly obscene, even for a private therapeutic consultation. If only they had spoken more in ...

Andy Spector with Andy Spector

Andy Spector isn't looking for therapy as much as he's looking for a good hang. But that's not what therapy's for! Although to Andy's credit, when your therapist is that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin, it make sense that one might perceive Ian as more of a friend than a therapeutic mental health professional. Drinking in therapy is NOT APPROPRIATE. Everyone gets drunk even if they say they don't! And for the love of all things holy, let us all pray that Ian never meets Andy's cat CJ irl... Crack open ...

Lady Ruth Brookwillow with Florence Friebe

Lady Ruth Brookwillow insists on being called Brooke despite that not at all being her name. But at least she GETS IT and puts her absolutely terrible therapist Ian Herrin in his place immediately and repeatedly. Brooke doesn't have grief ! She's merely the distinguished heiress to a French butter fortune ordered to therapy by her team of lawyers after her husband accidentally Humpty Dumpty-ied himself. Although would you believe this is yet another session working more on Ian than Ian's patient...

Tullamore Dew with John Shepard

Poor poor Tannery Brooke must have been too busy gallivanting off at a pub somewhere to remember his therapy appointment with the worst therapist in the world, Ian Herrin, but instead, a very insane man from the future that shares his name with a whiskey, Tullamore Dew storms into the office proclaiming only he can save humanity. Why are human beings forced underground and what has happened to the Earth under it's bizarre new leadership? Even if Tullamore does know he's unlikely to share his sec...

Chet Wonder with Stephen Buckley

Chet Wonder finds himself trapped in a deep LARP life under siege by orcs. But with a Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin as his therapist, Chet is doomed to never be able to reach his full potential and value his community of friends with similar interests. Ian is actively breaching ethics by talking to your parents so much, Chet! Also, I think you should stop buying self-help books especially ones that are marketing unrelated expensive skin care products!! Ah, you clearly are more than the mere shad...

Bruce Blank with Keaton Patti

Bruce Blank makes lifelong friends everywhere he goes. So why does this terrible therapist Ian Herrin keep jumping down his throat about it?? There's nothing wrong with having a lot of friends! And there's nothing wrong with having a lot of interesting things in your wallet! Don't let the fact that Ian is a single, jealous, bitter ex-friend to Selena Gomez interfere with your opportunity to have community with everyone everywhere in the world all the time! Ah, you must have several blank checks ...

A Long Long Time Ago, At A College Far Far Away.... FRAT WARS Non-traditional college student Han Solo Cup is a 30 year old smuggler pledging fraternities for the first time. His current options include the geeky, freaky Rebel Alliance and the rich, fascist Empire. Both throw raging parties, so Han is very confused.

Ben Sisko with Vince White

Oh no, another actor who can't differentiate reality from the television show he works on?? And one that is friends with Sir Patrick Stewart no less??? BEN (or whatever your real name is!)! Get out of there!! Ian is not the guy to ground anybody in any kind of reality! Remember New Orleans! Remember Rutgers! Remember Rob Kardashian's vehicle!! Ah, you could get used to this! And by "this" I mean the best part of the episode description where I tell you all about the phenomenally talented improvi...

Big Chillin' with Sam Naismith

Born "God", Big Chillin' is perhaps the biggest example of psychopathy to ever enter the office space of the truly terrible therapist Ian Herrin. But what else could you possibly expect from someone whose most neutral and least chaotic friend is an actor known for his brain injury. Big Chillin' purports to be making a major life decision between choosing the path of Catholic religious righteousness and the downward Hell spiral of video games, but it does seem that he made his choice to pursue th...

Rebecca Sherman with Adaire Kamen

Yikes! Dolls! Uh-uh, too scary!! Rebecca Sherman, you seem like you have a lot you're not processing, you got too many dolls, and Ian is not gonna be the right therapist for you to figure this all out. If anything, he's been a little pyro recently, so keep you and your dolls' eyes on him. Anna, you seem like a very nice young baby lady. Christina, you're a bit of a party animal, but I dig your vibes. Samantha... just don't hurt me!! Congratulations on pushing through the Valley of the Dolls to f...

Joseph Jacob with Jake Joseph

Child leash enthusiast Joseph Jacob seems to be aware at least on some levels that that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is a problematic, sexually deviant manipulator. And yet, it is almost like Joseph wants to become Ian's prodigy and learn his ways? I mean, I guess it makes sense that a guy who wants to leash children for "safety" and to ultimately give them more "freedom" would want to learn how to manipulate his friends better, but still, in the long run, working with Ian will only d...

Pop 'n' Loch Ness Monster with Nic Rockwell

Woa Nessy!!! The mythical Loch Ness Monster is real??? And obsessed with a very particular form of hip-hop dancing?!?!? Nessy, I know it must be lonely, but trust me this Ian Herrin guy is not going to be the one to help replace the hole in your heart Left Behind by your brother! Don't trust any painful tea he might offer! You deserve to look yourself in the mirror and not be reminded of a former child star whose last name is synonymous with monster! Ah, you must know all the good OnlyFans pages...

David Halsburg with Sean Mako

The military has requested a psychological evaluation for their naval officer David Halsburg, clearly a man that has had to endure a lot during his time in the service. David is a man frozen in time never quite able to progress himself into modern society post 2001. And yet, with the aggressive stupidity of a therapist like Ian Herrin, there's almost no hope whatsoever for David to unpack his traumatic experience. Does Ian steer yet another session aggressively towards talking about his patient'...

Damon Douglas with Sean O'Reilly

Poor little Damon Douglas just wants to be a good boy for the people in his life but seems to be suffering deep forms of anxiety and codependency. You'd think a helpless little guy like Damon would be helped and treated by his therapist, but somehow Ian Fucking-Sigmund-Fraud Herrin inserts himself and his issues YET AGAIN into another session and appears Hell bent on using Damon like a piece of hay to get anything and everything he wants. You need to be working on your independence away from Ian...

Bishop Elijiah K. Stone with Andrew Chandler

You would *think* a Man of God would be able to see through and maybe even call out the shame therapy that goes on in this Sigmund Fraud's office, but apparently this thirst trap of a Tik Tok social media televangelist, Bishop Elijiah K. Stone of Alabama, is too focused on expanding his brand to the youth culture to notice! Careful, Bishop Stone, or Ian will get you hooked on pre-martial sex and drugs! Do not help him work out his tight five for standup and do not offer him your healing hands! D...
