Click here for a machine generated transcript. One thing you learn as a stroke survivor is that things change. Plans change. Your world changes in an instant. In that respect, I think many of us had an advantage when COVID-19 broke the planet. We'd been through it before. Many of us had already been at home for weeks, months, or years. Michael Shutt's world turned upside down when he experienced a series of three strokes. He was told he would never act again, but wouldn't let that stop him. So he wrote a solo performer show to share his story, connect other members of the stroke community with the theater and with each other. And to get back on stage. He assembled a team to make this thing a reality. He performed a workshop version of the play to find out what works and what doesn't. Michael and his team were getting ready to launch the show for real. And then COVID hit Los Angeles. Over the past year, they pivoted. They got a grant, and now "A Lesson in Swimming" is an audio drama you can listen to hear. In this week's episode, I talk with Michael about his journey. We also get deeper into the media to better understand the nature of these media. Bio From Michael's website: Each year, roughly 800,000 Americans experience a stroke. In 2015, actor, director, and longtime Moving Arts’ company member Michael Shutt survived three. ​Michael then spent almost three years writing scores of short stories about his experience before teaming up with director and dramaturg Diana Wyenn to take his powerful and unexpectedly hilarious story to the stage. In 2020, they were scheduled to open the world premiere of A LESSON IN SWIMMING at Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles when the coronavirus pandemic hit. It soon became clear that their plans had to get pushed…or they could adapt. A Lesson in Swimming Trailer Here's a taste of the story Michael tells. https://youtu.be/BjYkpY-Cnx0 University of Washington Medical Centers Support Group The UW hospital network in the Seattle area is now offering monthly virtual stroke support group meetings. The best thing is that you don't need to be in the Seattle area to attend. It's all online.

“WE'RE GONNA DIE” features a single Singer, accompanied by a full rock bad, as she shares stories about death, grief and loneliness from her life. These stories range from the mundane to the tragic, from discovering her first white hair to her father's sudden and tragic death from lung cancer as he waited for an experimental treatment. Lee's songs and stories demystify grief, creating a community space that provides the solace that we need to get through those difficult moments.

Today, Misha Kaura is talking to critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, powerhouse vocalist and rising music star IRIS, who has released her brand new music video for her second single, “Wait”. “Wait” is a lighthearted take on the emotions swirling around an intense relationship, embraced by crooning vocals, vibrant acoustic guitars, tambourines, and atmospheric swells. These facets are highlighted in the music video, which sees Iris running through idyllic locations swathed in sepia toning. “You can’t control when a relationship is over,” says IRIS. “You can’t just turn your feelings off. Sometimes, the other person just doesn’t understand that it’s not so black and white - there are a million shades of gray.” Iris’s stunning second single releases in advance of her debut solo show, which will take place at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, CA on June 23rd, 2019. Other acts performing include KidEyes and Molly Moore. Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kideyes-tickets-62600539900. About IRIS Channeling Stevie Nicks, Rock/Pop’s newest weapon, Iris, is ready to shake up 2019. Raised in New Jersey with an Icelandic heritage, this prolific singer and songwriter pens music that strikes listeners in the heart - specifically ones going through heartbreak, and ones going through the journey of finding happiness. Citing Parkinson’s Disease awareness, equality, and positivity as some of her most impassioned causes, Iris strives to enlighten and strengthen each and every listener through positive messages and heart-wrenching lyrics. Having kick-started her solo career with debut single “Crazy” being featured on Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet, Iris’s flame is only getting brighter. www.instagram.com/iris | www.twitter.com/penny_lane915 | http://bit.ly/30iTokF

Biz wonders if we are incapable of letting our children solve their own problems and if this is why our children can’t actually problem solve! Theresa suggests maybe its less about ability and more about personality. What’s worse, stunting our children's development or having to accept they may be totally different than you? Both seem like a reason to hide in the bathroom. Plus Biz gets thumb tacky, Theresa takes cover and we talk to Temple University professor and mother Dr. Ama Mazama about the growing trend and reasoning behind home schooling for African American children.

Biz and Theresa load up our backpacks with unnecessary anxiety! School is great and the teachers are better, so what could be keeping us up at night? Will the teacher be a good fit for our kid? Is this the REAL school supply list? We gotta get kids where? WHEN?! Does it count as bad communication from the school if we don’t read any of it? Should any of this be stressing us out? Theresa rolls with it while Biz lets her sadness for her ever aging children manifest itself into an unhealthy “yes!” Plus Biz has a screamer, Theresa goes to the beach, and we talk to Michael Ian Black about fatherhood, twitter, writing children's books, and Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later (in which he stars), which is streaming now on Netflix, to our endless delight!

Biz and Theresa spend the show convincing ourselves that when our children whine it is a good thing. If we ignore the feeling of wanting to slam our heads into a wall and scream “my ears are bleeding! BLEEDING” and focus instead on the biological and emotional science of why children whine, we might just be successful. Success means hiding in the bathroom, right? Technically you are still in the house. Success! Plus Biz wants to know what’s happening, Theresa accepts her fate and we talk to Jennifer L. Verdolin, Phd about her new book Raised By Animals: The Surprising New Science of Animal Family Dynamics! The book: https://www.amazon.com/Raised-Animals-Surprising-Science-Dynamics/dp/161...

Biz and Theresa talk about all the little things we hate that we hadn't thought about in years....till our kids did them to us! Pool splashing, sparklers, being surprised...these aren't phobias or life-threatening but they still bug the crap out of us! So, do we ban them or toughen up? What if we just try to explain rationally to a three-year-old that we'd like them to stop? Yep! That will work! Plus, Biz sees herself in Katy Belle and Theresa returns from the woods!

This week on One Bad Mother, Biz and Theresa realize that all that glitters is not gold…it is just glitter and like that shitty tattoo you got from that wild night out that was fun but full of regrets the next morning, it will be with you forever. What makes glitter magical and why, despite knowing its dark side, do we keep letting it back into our house? Maybe, like all awful things, we can turn it into a reminder that we are getting really good at this. Plus, Biz brings Katy Belle to work and Theresa get summer schooled.

Biz and Theresa talk about playing games as children and now, with our own kids. We each have one capable, game-playing-age child as well as another child who seems to turn all game-playing experiences into hurricanes of frustration. Yet, we keep trying! Plus, we're joined by the delightful and insightful Anthonia Akitunde, founder of the website MaterMea.com, to talk about normalizing the experiences of women of color in motherhood.

This week on One Bad Mother, maybe you can’t understand what Biz and Theresa are saying because they bit off more than they can chew. While choking on it, they wonder why this keeps happening. Is it that we don’t see parenting as work so we take on more as if we are starting with a clean plate only to discover that there was a cake hiding under the salad the whole time? Plus Biz would like time to stop, Theresa is in too deep and we talk to returning guest Tresa Edmunds about her new self care venture HavenTree Box.

Biz and Theresa wonder what needs to happen, how much money it would take, how many magic wishes we’d need or who’s permission needs to be given for us to actually commit to self-care. Is 100 magic wishes enough? Maybe the actual self-care we are looking for isn’t a physical act, but instead an internal one. Or maybe we just need to go out for milk…in the Bahamas. Plus Biz is getting the band back together, Theresa can't get the splinter out and we talk to Erin Bried, founder and Editor in Chief of the awesome magazine for girls, Kazoo!

Being that this was the very first interview series we recorded for the show, Act 2, took some time to evolve.  Because of that Michael is not involved in this discussion *Insert Sad Face Here*.  Not to worry though, Daniel and Jessica still bring you knowledge about settling in when you move to LA, finding inspiration in the city while watching your emotional health and discuss the theater scenes in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.  Enjoy!!

This was our VERY FIRST interview for Hollywood Hustle.   In Act One Daniel sits with Co-Founder and Managing Producing Director of Los Angeles's Bootleg Theater to discuss New York, Chicago and of course Los Angeles.  They also talk about what it feels like right after you move to Los Angeles and how people got around big cities before Waze or Google maps were a thing.  Finally, we talk about what makes great theater and how you your self can establish and run your very own theater.   Remember:  No Glitter, No Confetti, No Silly String.  Just plays!

Biz and Theresa wonder if there is a person in the family who everything revolves around and if it is us, why do we keep getting hit by all those things in orbit? Does the family seem to revolve around one kid or does the focus tend to shift? Is this good, bad, or just another question there is no answer to? Plus Biz is happy about something, Theresa is losing her mind and we talk to Tae Won Yu about his awesome new book My First Baby Signs.

Biz and Theresa are beginning to think we aren’t using the word "selfish" right. Wanting time for yourself so you can rest isn’t the same thing as shoving someone out of the lifeboat. As we find ourselves digging into the idea of self-care more and more on the show, we try to figure out this week why it's hard to allow ourselves our own wants and desires. Plus Biz has an unimportant update, Theresa is getting messages and they're coming from within her bra, and we talk to Brett McKay about his book, The Art of Manliness, which, as it turns out, is helpful to parents and non-parents, regardless of gender!
