This Is Going Well, I Think with David Cooper David Cooper

This Is Going Well, I Think begins just as David runs out of nicotine gum. Then, it's Therapy Thursdays on a Monday with Gary Direnfeld. Gary discusses kids and video game addictions – David spiritedly weighs in on the topic and draws from personal experience. After that, comedy class instructor Melody Johnson answers the question: Can You Teach Funny?

It's another installment of This Is Going Well, I Think. (But honestly, what else would this be?) David goes through some stories of the day. Science educator and media personality Dan Riskin talks about strange Viking body modifications and speedy frog evolution – but David turns the conversation to super fungus and personal shower routines. Technology expert Carmi Levy and David get into a spirited debate on how Gen Z's don't care if "influencers" are AI bots or real people. Finally, comedian Natasha Vinik talks about being in Los Angeles for the Netflix is a Joke festival and how she's "all backed up."

David packs this episode of This Is Going Well, I Think with four riveting interviews. First it's Chris Bustamante, a nurse practitioner and owner of Lushful Aesthetics, who trademarked HoleTox – yes, that's botox for your butthole!!! Then, associate professor of psychology at York University Amy Muise walks us through research that dispels the notion of the five "love languages." After that, another professor of psychology, this time at University of Toronto, Steve Joordens and David discuss whether children should be able to take mental health days. And finally, it's Tony Five's triumphant return to the show – except it's anything but triumphant! (Tony describes what he does on the show as "abject banality.") Watch out for David's great joke edited into Tony's interview. We promise it'll all make sense in the end.

Then, it's all things space with astrobiologist Sarah Rugheimer, who tells us about a laser that hit earth from 140 million miles away, moon seeds taking root around the US, and more. Social worker Gary Direnfeld partakes in Therapy Thursdays and a Tuesday with David and the two discuss labels.

Tony Five gives us the seaman's update. David walks us through a Florida Man's snakes in underpants story.
