Summary
Susie goes on an epic rant about people who try to mental health their way out of accountability and the way they use therapy speak to avoid responsibility. She's fuming, people! Sarah explains how a-holes are always going to find ways to be jerks, so this is nothing new. She also shares why comedy commentary is pushing her towards conservatism, and she feels like people need to have more of a sense of humor about human foibles and not be so gee dee sensitive. We debate the Kathy Griffin Trump pic scandal, Roseanne's cancellation, and more. We hear some of the best life hacks, but for once Susie disagrees with Sarah about the best way to cut a cake. We hear from writer and Sasquatch enthusiast Val Brkich about that new footage that has some people convinced of Bigfoot's existence and other people like Sarah even more certain it's all fantasy, and he shocks Susie with some new info about Bigfoot's anatomy. Grab Val's book about Bigfoot and the Civil War!

| 0:20.9 | I episode seven. |
| 0:26.4 | Sarah, this generation's Thelma and Louise without the minus the joints who said without the death. Yeah. How are you? |
| 0:36.4 | I'm doing good. I might, you know, I had a nice drug test this morning. That's really fun. Oh, yeah. Was it like P and a cup? Yeah, P and a cup. It was because I got a new doctor and you know, |
| 0:50.4 | they had a role as a control substance like you think I'm, I'm, I don't know like I get I totally don't so I don't. I think it's particularly they made me take a drug test last |
| 1:00.4 | month. I think they're doing it to make sure I like and the thing was I thought they were testing for weed this time because like it came back. It was like definitely |
| 1:07.4 | positive for weed. Obviously I told her that I told her I'm like, yeah, I'm like. This is what I do. Yeah, she's like, yeah, I don't mind. And so it's like not a |
| 1:16.4 | problem. And so when they tested me again, they didn't test me for that. It was only for like five drugs that was like, you know, the bad stuff like cocaine and |
| 1:25.4 | fetamines opioids. I think they wanted to make just double check that after a month of like, you know, big like that I'm not I do not |
| 1:33.4 | understand. I don't know. She just said she was like, yeah, it's I just have to check box these boxes. So I don't know, maybe it's like they make |
| 1:42.4 | them do this in order to I don't fucking know. I don't either. Yeah, I read a whole article about what's happening with Adderall and why there's a shortage. And after the opioid crisis, |
| 1:54.4 | there was a limitation, some sort of limitation that the drug companies put on the amount of any controlled substance that they're |
| 2:06.4 | able to release, but they do not tell the the doctors or they don't communicate the wholesale, like the wholesaler of the drug, the one who like provides the |
| 2:16.4 | ingredients to make it has a cap of how much they're allowed to disperse, but they keep that to themselves. They do not tell that's not |
| 2:27.4 | a thing that doctors are aware of. So there's this like gap in the awareness of like the pharmaceutical companies with like the wholesalers of these drugs. It's terrible. It's all messed up. And this is like one of the consequences. It's like fine. If it's being |
| 2:42.4 | overprescribed, but now we have a rise of people who are getting diagnosed and things of that. So now there's a well, maybe now that everyone's like doing |
| 2:50.4 | the Zempic instead, maybe the people that were abusing Adderall. Yeah. I'm like, I have been on this for years. And this is like so. |
| 3:00.4 | I feel like I should be able to do like a character. What do they do? Honestly, Sue's I was thinking I was thinking that as I was like, they should really have like, you know, a |
| 3:10.4 | letter of recommendation. I mean, all you have to do is ask me recommend you Susie. Yeah. Like or any professor I've ever had who are the ones who they've ever dated. Yes. And they're like, yes, she absolutely 100% is better on the mix. |
| 3:29.4 | I'm glad we're talking about this actually because I wanted to ask you about this. So I know that you know on TikTok and everywhere there's all this stupid like I don't know what it's like justice for ADHD people where they like to read these |
| 3:48.4 | misiffs about how they're the victims or whatever and like, don't be sad. You're just different. You're not worse or whatever. And it's always like inspirational posts for you people. And I didn't know it's me because |
| 4:04.4 | let me see if I can find it. There was this one and it was basically saying like, you're not doing anything wrong. You're perfect. Just the way you are. Okay. So this was actually one of our brainiacs. I think she may have even posted it or tagged me in it or something because that's how I came to my attention. And it was probably so that I would show it to you as a way of saying like, you're just perfect the way you are whatever. |
