Episode description

We should probably shut up, but everyone needs to express themselves

  • doing stuff because you want people to think you're attractive
  • egotism, false self-esteem, being childish but still feeling superior to Donald Trump
  • Donald's brother Fred Jr (he just wanted a regular life), difficult fathers, alcoholism, losing parents, Joe's Dad
  • old blokes out the front of the TAB (gambling joint in Aus/NZ)
  • being a loose unit, attention deficit disorder, amphetamines, addictions, video games
  • getting kicked out of university (college) 
  • psychotherapy, good therapists as characters on the show, and possibly the most important person in your life, Alain de Botton, epiphanies, illusion of free will?

I say 'truth to tell' a lot. Therapist could say: "let's think more about that."


Musical theme by maestro Ehsan Gelsi. Ephemera, live at the Melbourne Town Hall, with synths and Ten Thousand Pipe Acoustic Organ and Ben Crook on drums. Encroyable! One of my happiest moments of recent years. Do yourself a flavour and listen, it's a fun, beautiful, tasty, and hopeful piece of instrumental music for our times.
