Comedian and ADHD clinician Eliza Butler joined me in a meta episode to talk about the nature of hyperfixations and it's relationship to ADHD. It ended up being a conversation about ADHD more broadly and a bunch of tangents about social media for some reason. If you've been trying to understand the people in your life who have ADHD, I think this is a must listen.  Follow Eliza on: Twitter TikTok Instagram

LA comedian, Krista Moy, joins us to talk about her favorite show: The OC. We chat about whether Orange County is actually called "The OC", the cultural impact the show had,  and how I thought Ben McKenzie and Chad Michael Murray were the same person.

We discuss comedian Dylan Adler's surprising, to me at least, introduction to musical theater, my strange frustration that the jokes in musical theater would not work in stand up, and his show with Kelly Bachman: Rape Victims are Horny Too.

We go deep with comedian and Degrassi historian Seynique Smythe. We discuss the Degrassi extended universe, the many time it made television history and how Kevin Smith ruined a 30 year love story. We see how it connects to shows like Euphoria, Skins, 90210, and Grey's Anatomy. We also go off on so many tangents, such as  the political nature of sex educations, the lack of nuance in internet drama, and teacup pigs.  Listen to Seynique's Degrassi Podcast: Everybody Wants Something and her horror podast:  We Die First (check out the episode on Misery).
