    Ep 199 - My Mom Wants Constant Attention

    Ep 199 - My Mom Wants Constant Attention

    The title tells the tale--a listener writes in to ask how to initiate boundaries with a mother who seems to require constant attention. Dr Steve takes a rare role as "bad cop" this week, as he details a plan that includes (not surprisingly) therapy for the letter-writer. James doesn't use a softer touch necessarily but tries to slide into the unfamiliar "good cop" role. An interesting episode to be sure!

    Ep 197 - Don't Want to Institutionalize Family Member

    A serious episode this week--despite the letter-writer wanting a light-hearted answer. Basically, a listener wrote in and asked advice from James and Dr. Stev regarding a family member who may need to be institutionalized. Try as they might, the co-hosts could not make light of a serious situation. Listen in as the boys put on their "good advice" cas and reply to the question.

Progressively Getting Worse

I’m not sure what direction they intended this podcast to go, but they seem to answer in increased degrees of sexism. And most of their answers don’t even address the questions asked as they seem to go off on their own path.

This has been something I’ve noticed over the last several months. It was not like this in the beginning.

And the messed up intro act is getting old. Just do the intro. I’m going to listen for a few more episodes, but I am not sure I will be sticking around.

If you give this one a try, start with the older episodes.
