Summary

Claire Brosseau had me over to her apartment to talk about her experience with electro-shock therapy. She was suffering from depression and her parents checked her in to a clinic that recommended shock therapy. Of course, we didn't just stick to talking about that. We covered sex, Canada, and baseball. It gets really fun.

0:28.7	Okay, everybody. I'm gonna try to do this introduction as fast as possible. Hi, welcome to Ari Shapiro's Get the Tank. How are you guys?
0:35.3	I just want to see how long I can make it, how short I can make it if I just go as fast as possible. So, let's do the introductions.
0:42.3	On this episode, I have my friend Claire Brousseau. Braceau, I never know how to say her last name.
0:48.3	She's a Toronto comedian and she's lived in Los Angeles the last year and a half or so.
0:54.1	She's cool, but she has recently had some mental health issues and she had to be put into a not an asylum.
1:07.3	What do you call it? Institution where she underwent electro shock therapy.
1:13.9	Yeah, right. The only person I know did electro shock therapy was this girl named Blue Iris. I shouldn't say girl
1:23.0	because she was a grown woman who did granny porn. She was part of Don Barrice's Ding Dong show for a few years and then she died.
1:32.6	The electro shock therapy she got was in the 50s and 60s. I don't think it was as professional as helpful as that's kind of Claire got.
1:41.6	But that's what we talked about in this episode. So, let me just do some quick promotions and dates and stuff.
1:49.8	First of all, this week I'm going to be a Minneapolis at the House of Comedy, the 28th through the December 2nd.
1:56.8	And then I'm home until the end of the year and then New Year's Eve. I'm doing the Nob Hill Masonic Center.
2:02.4	It's the bone in San Francisco. It's the bones like New Year's Eve specials.
2:07.2	Me, Jessica, Amy Schumer, Doug Benson, Tom Segura maybe, Brendan Walsh definitely.
2:13.3	I don't know. So, you can find tickets on my website or like for everything you can find on my website,
2:21.3	rheagreate.com. Also, there you can get a 2012 tour shirt or grinder. And speaking of, I am looking for a 2013 tour shirt.
2:32.9	So, calling all artists, I guess, if you can come with a help me come with the design, for the tour shirt, I will give you $500.
2:43.3	That seems fair to me for your help. So, the last shirt is still there and I'm hoping if I get a good design,
2:50.1	I'm hoping just to be done with these shirts by the end of the year or just sell off whatever I have left.
2:55.3	Let me be done with it. So, seriously, I need your help. If you want anything goes.
2:58.5	It doesn't have to be specifically about me. It doesn't have to be a picture of me.
