Comedian Adam Strauss and psychiatrist Jordan Eipper have no-holds barred conversations about sex, love, psychedelics, mental health, spirituality and, of course, their mothers. It's not quite comedy, and (for legal reasons) definitely not therapy. But they're going to fix themselves - and maybe you too.

21: Spring Thaw
With lockdowns easing and weather warming, everything's looking up. So why's Adam so anxious? Plus, the benefits of OCD, resenting those we love, and a near-violent mask-shaming altercation.
-
20: Bringing It All Back Home
Adam's ongoing stay at his parents' house sets the stage for Jordan to dig into Adam's incendiary relationship with his parents growing up. The breeds of all dogs discussed have been changed to protect the innocent.
-
19: Conventionally Broken
As Jordan finds himself pulled between intense love and intense fear in his new relationship, he and Adam wonder whether he's uniquely broken or if these are types of challenges everyone deals with in love. Plus the vulnerability of sex, the trauma of the psych ER, and the mating display of the male turkey.

18: The Blizzard
Jordan goes on a mountain vacation with his new love, Hannah, where he receives a disturbing message that makes him question everything. Meanwhile, a blizzard is about to hit, threatening to trap them alone in their tiny cabin with Jordan's spiraling doubts for a week or more.

17: Psychiatry, Psychosis, Psychedelics
Jordan's new job at a psychiatric ER is the catalyst for a wide-ranging discussion about psychosis, psychedelics, psychiatry, plus other things that don't start with "psy".

16: The End Of A Clara
The guys are back after a long hiatus, and everything's different. Adam's relationship with Clara is over. Now Jordan's the one in love - and he finds himself grappling with some of the same issues Adam confronted. The more things change, the more they stay the same....
Customer Reviews
Thought-provoking conversations on modern relationships
Longtime listener of this excellent podcast. Take this with a grain of salt as I’ve never been formally trained in psychiatry, but as a married man in my late 30s, I wanted to share my perspective.
I spent years feeling like I couldn’t commit and was always finding flaws in every person I dated. I thought I was defective. I now realize I was dating the wrong women. As soon as I started dating my now-wife, it was astoundingly obvious and the doubts went away.
Great Series of Podcasts by Adam and Jordan
This series has been very entertaining, humorous, and thought provoking. Adam has such a talent for story telling in a manner that is engaging, funny, and intellectually satisfying.
Started strong
This podcast has gotten less interesting. But first, I’ve gotta say the plural of woman is WOMEN not woman. After hearing Adam say it wrong over a hundred times I’m ready to unsubscribe. Really disrespectful to women, that he doesn’t even say the word correctly.
In the episode after the phone call with Clara, he rambled for over an hour so yeah maybe I need to stop listening. No longer sure what this podcast is about.
