Welcome back to Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, a weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world.

I'm Cynthia Yanov, and as always, I'm joined by psychologist and author Dr. Ken Wilgus.

Hey, Dr. Ken, how are you? Cynthia, I'm good. How are you? Good. I came back for another week. I know. It was, it was touchy. Touch and go. Is that true? It was. I think I got pretty insulted on the first, the first full episode we did last week. I think we edited that whole thing out. Didn't we edit my insults i thought we did it's just gonna i think one time when you were on my podcast a while

back i think we titled like asking for a friend and i would just ask all these questions

yes that were straight out of my own parenting you have some messed up friends that's all i'm saying

they're terrible they're terrible parents so So speaking of terrible is you, I think if I believe, if I have this right, this might be episode like 2.17ish somewhere in there. I could be off by one or two. Okay. I don't know. And I don't think you've been canceled yet, but this may be the one. Is this the one where you get canceled because you're about to go, you're about to go rogue on some, some things related to

mental health diagnosis. But I guess you're allowed. You're a doctor. Let's say it this way. It is possible

I have gotten in for some clues that I am getting to be a bit of a curmudgeon about some stuff.

So, but you promise to tell me if we get there.

Because there are some things that people get, especially about psychology, that people

can get so fired up about that concerns me.

It's not, psychology is great, but it, it ain't everything it's it's not a magic pill i don't want to i don't

feel like this is the the point the podcast why i brag but did you know as a psychology major

i think that was the thing your husband regretted the most is marrying as i recall but yeah

yeah psychology major straight to law school,

then to podcasting. I've really gone from point A to point B, but what was your major, Dr. Ken,

and in college? Listen, when I got to the big grad program I made, which was, they had this meeting

of everyone, and they're talking about, well, I'm here because my band

didn't work out or my latest book didn't. And I was like, this is all I know. I was a psych major

as an undergrad. I have a master's in school psych. And now I'm doing so I don't know how to do

anything else. So it's all in psych all along. I love it. I love it.

All right.
