Eric experiences big advancements in customer support trying to get his Internet fixed and wanders off into a discussion of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Kevin needs to know more about the Orthodox Jewish community in Netflix’s Unorthodox show. We mourn the NFL season with Kevin’s brother Tracy and then dig into the concept of faith. Do humans need to experience faith? What are the downsides of faith? Crossfit, Young Life, Hulk Hogan, megachurches, polyvagal theory, and the power and purpose of religion all make appearances. Is there an obligation to disclose a change in faith to the people in your life? We share the things we have faith in: Kevin believes in a divine plan for the universe and Eric believes in yoga and pineapple.   Show Notes Telecommunications Act of 1996 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996 Unorthodox on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81019069 Orthodox Judaism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism Polyvagal Therory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec3AUMDjtKQ Lola James Harper candles and fragrances https://www.lolajamesharper.com/ Boy Smells candles and underwear https://boysmells.com/ Le Labo fragrances and candles https://www.lelabofragrances.com/   Cover Photo by Stephany Williams on Unsplash

In this second part of Episode 4, Kevin & Eric call Tracy to discuss Therapy World and it gets deep, with some laughs here and there. We discuss our own histories as well as a few of the counties of Therapy World, including Freudian and Jungian therapy, sex work (therapy), finding a therapist, and the stigma that floats around visiting therapy world. Kevin discusses having trouble finding the right therapist and his journey over the years. And we’re all surprised to learn that Tracy hasn’t experienced trauma in his life—ever! Plus we discuss what we’re thankful for right now in our lives.   The talents of David Lebovitz https://www.davidlebovitz.com/ David Lebovitz: Drinking French https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607749297/ Kream Kimchi https://www.kreamkonsulting.com/ Michael Pollan's Cooked show https://www.netflix.com/title/80022456  

We want to thank our listeners for the feedback they’ve provided. It’s helped us make the show we have today and we’re working to make each show count. In this first part of Episode 4, Kevin surprises Eric with a personal note on why he’s creating the Felt Pod. We discuss the amazing Midnight Gospel on Netflix and the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast created by Duncan Trussell, a comedian from LA. We get deep into discussing grief including how Eric dealt with it earlier in his life. Kevin provides a perspective based on the love and nurturing his family gave him growing up. There’s a lot to unpack.   Midnight Gospel on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/80987903 Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/duncan-trussell-family-hour/id350580455 The Real Roots of Mid-Life Crisis (this is a good overview of the U-Curve of Satisfaction we discuss) https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/12/the-real-roots-of-midlife-crisis/382235/ Psychoanalysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis Lyra Health https://www.lyrahealth.com/ Psychology Today https://www.psychologytoday.com/us
