- Making guilt trips fun
"Air conditioning is cooling off my little enclosed space by heating up the rest of the world" is now burned into my soul with the force of 1000 Catholic-grade guilt trips. Thanks guys. I'll want the Crazy Town theme song played at my funeral if I don't make it through the heat wave of the coming week.

Apple Podcasts5QuicktrickerUnited States4 months ago - Antidpressant Effect
My son, a long time listener and fan, recommended this podcast. I love it! It is saving my sanity and my sense of humor. These podcasters refreshingly embrace nuance in ways seldom experience. They impart knowledge, things I want to know about. They are funny, they make me laugh out loud. They feel my pain as we live in a society that seems mind crushing crazy. Check out the early podcasts. My son told me to and I am glad I did.
