Do you remember a time when you didn’t feel like this? This is the worst question Uncle Cait was asked during therapy. In this episode, we talk all about being raised by wolves, gender identity, and mental health. Caitlin Arlo Weierhauser won Helium Comedy Club’s “Portland’s Funniest Person” Competition in 2017 and was voted Favorite Comedian in the Willamette Week Readers Poll in 2017, and 2018. Caitlin got New Faces at Just For Laughs in Montreal, and came in top 3 at Big Sky Comedy Fest, has performed for Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot, Pickathon & All Jane Comedy Fest. Caitlin can recently be seen on Season 2 of The Benefits Of Gusbandry on Amazon Prime and in the Disney movie Timmy Failure. Uncle Cait and I open the show talking about those awkward stand-up Zoom jobs. Then, Uncle Cait explains what it was like being raised by wolves. In rural Oregon, you just meet people with wolves – apparently it’s a thing there. Growing up, they were never afraid of the wolves, and Uncle Cait was raised like one of the pack. The wolves would always try to lick in their mouth – wolves are weird and want to know what you taste like. Uncle Cait is nonbinary – it feels terrible to enforce their pronouns, but it felt worse that no one would respect it. Uncle Cait is at the point where they use proximity pronouns. Plus, they describe what it’s like to go on auditions as a nonbinary actor. It brings up bad memories from high school – like feeling out of place. At eighteen, Uncle Cait came out as bisexual than in their twenties did some freaky sex stuff.
