On Hiatus: Mental Health Challenged Monkey Poo Studios

We're back from On Hiatus... this time with possible identity problems as Grant contemplates shaving off his handlebar mustache and beard in an attempt to take a decade off his image, but will he still get noticed? 
Jason shares what he's grateful for in an attempt to lure Grant into doing the same thing but he adds his own dash of humor to the whole thing but in sharing his gratiude journaling, he shares that he got some bad results back from a blood test and he might need to get a liver ultrasound. 
Speaking of drinking, Jay just returned from Vegas, and Zion! The family trip was a great success. Did it compare to Grant's latenight police shakedown? Listen and find out!

Grant, who normally struggles to LIVE IN THE MOMENT, made a promise to do just that while on vacation with his family. Was he able to actually live in the moment? Was there a meltdown? 
Have you ever heard the show before!? 
If so, you won't be let down! 
 
After we hear about Grant's vacation and all the fun (meltdown or not) included, we turn it over to Jay, who's planning one heck of a vacation with his girlfriend and kids. Yes, eating a footlong in the hottub comes up again (get your mind out of the gutter) and yes it's going to likely happen again (get over it Grant!) 
Thank you so much for listening! 
We'd really love to hear from you! Tell us what you love or don't love about the show! What you'd like to hear us talk about! Should we keep doing this podcat? Is anyone actually freaking listening or is it just bots?

Grant is headed out on vacation, but first he has to solve an RX problem. His reactions to name brand v.s. generic are different as is the cost. But then he discovers that name brands offer extensive discounts to their product on their websites. This can't be legal!!
While trying to plan his prescription renewal during his vacation, Grant also admits to stuggling to enjoy himself on vacation. 
Jay is also gearing up for vacation and he's got zero issues with dropping everything and enjoying every moment, in fact his struggle might be that he's already mentally checked out!

Jay and Grant are back with thier personal form of armchair therapy. In this episode Grant shares how he might have gotten himself into some hot water by comparing the way he precieves Jay's relationship with his girlfiend to his own relationship with his wife. 
Jay admits to never really being passionate about any of his jobs but shares what really gets his juices flowing, while Grant shares his struggles about actually being passionate about his job but the difficulties remaining that way due to all of the outside forces.

As if breaking down Grant's (mostly) cognitive distortions wasn't enough in this episode, Jay hits him with a fact about a high percentage of people don't have an inner monologue. This almost breaks Grant mentally. The comedic downward spiral and the wishful thinking that comes from the idea of not having to suffer from listening to his evil unreliable narrator is a rollercoaster of emotions, to say the least. 
You may recall that in the first official episode of the season, we quickly discussed the 15 cognitive distortions and broke down the first 5 of them and how they related to us... well in this episode we break down the next 5 and how they relate to us. Mostly Grant. 
Jay doesn't get out of this unscathed though. Grant doesn't seem to think that Jay is discriptive enough when it comes to sharing his emotions and he also admits that he's not happy, nor does he understand Jay's level of depression. Has Jay ever laid in a fetal position and cried when feeling depressed or is it just more of a Meh! feeling?

Does walking into a room fill you with Anxiety? Are you an immediate wallflower or do you become the life of the party? 
Anxiety can effect the way we think and present ourselves in very different ways. 
In today's episode, this conversation just happens to manifest itself. Grant admits to having an outing that he's nervous about once this weeks recording is finished, so Jay, his non social mask wearing and always filled with positivity cohost, goes along for the ride.
