Evan and Eli are one-on-one for this episode. Within minutes they realize that Melissa represents a shadow mother figure in the podcast dynamic and that her absence allows for more dick jokes. Discussing the phallic qualities of their mic stands provides a bridge to a slightly more serious conversation:
- “Sounding gay”
- Southern sayings
- Family therapy
- Intervening in a family system
- Garden gnome drunk
- Love pats instead of spankings
- Fast routes to treating core elements of clients
- Saying unconventional things to clients to diffuse and restructure conversations
- Old men becoming softer
- I’d be a bad father if I was warm and loving
- Our questions are often a projection of ourselves
- Revictimization of trauma experiences in institutions that are needing data to funding and reimbursements
- Evan tells a kid to punch a hole in the wall
