Last year, Leonard and Jessie got a rare opportunity to interview Frank Oz at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas before a live audience. His alter egos are world-renowned, but Leonard and Jessie didn't focus on Miss Piggy or Yoda in this conversation. The main topic was directing movies, which Oz has done so well for so many years: The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop of Horrors, In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger, and What About Bob? are just a few of his credits. What is the through-line, if any, from puppetry to filmmaking. Listen and hear what the amazing Oz has to say.  

00:00:00 --> 00:10:00 – The hosts reminisce about the show's evolution, from early image feeds to livestreams and changing co-hosts. Mike shares updates about working as a sound engineer for his wife's band and reflects on the challenges of music production. The show dives into Alex Jones clips, including bizarre rants and confusion between Jeff Goldblum and “Jeff Goldberg.” 00:10:00 --> 00:20:00 – More absurd Alex Jones quotes are played and analyzed, filled with shirtless rants and chaotic statements. The team introduces headlines, focusing on a new alien abduction thriller called Watch the Skies, and discuss its AI-generated dubbing and visual effects. 00:20:00 --> 00:30:00 – They continue analyzing Watch the Skies and its use of AI for dubbing and mouth animation. The discussion leads into re-edited trailers that change film genres (What About Bob, The Shining). Paranormal news headlines are teased, including a man arrested for collecting periodic table elements and Argentina releasing secret Nazi documents. 00:30:00 --> 00:40:00 – Focus shifts to a viral story about a Chinese woman living in a workplace toilet to save on rent. The hosts review images and videos of her setup and speculate about her living conditions. Mike plays a satirical rock ballad he wrote called “Living in a Chinese Toilet.” 00:40:00 --> 00:50:00 – The conversation returns to the Nazi documents released by Argentina. They discuss the possibility of Hitler having escaped to Argentina and its potential historical implications. Theories about U.S. intelligence knowing but covering it up are explored, along with links to post-war intelligence programs and Antarctica. 00:50:00 --> 01:00:00 – They explore absurd ideas about Hitler in retirement mode, drinking pina coladas in beachwear. Then a shift to food trends: the team mocks the marketing of protein-added foods like coffee and chips. They introduce the legend of “Little Foot,” a small Bigfoot-like creature spotted in Pennsylvania. 01:00:00 --> 01:10:00 – The legend of the “Albatwitch” (Little Foot) is explored further, including historical sightings, folklore, and a local festival. Researchers and authors discuss theories ranging from escaped primates to young Bigfoot. Quartz deposits and strange disappearances in the area are also touched on. 01:10:00 --> 01:20:00 – Mike shares a personal family story resembling a missing 411 case, where his grandfather disappeared mysteriously in Pennsylvania. Listeners call in, discussing cryptid sightings and humanoid encounters, including creatures crawling from drains and explosions with no explanation. 01:20:00 --> 01:30:00 – A caller talks about vacationing in Argentina and visiting German-influenced towns possibly tied to post-WWII Nazi escapees. They describe tourist-friendly areas, statues, and being asked for papers in an eerily “authentic” way. The discussion drifts into absurdity about Hitler disguises and statues with rubbed-down anatomy. 01:30:00 --> 01:40:00 – More listener calls cover cryptids possibly being ancient genetic experiments. Topics include dogmen, fallen angels, and Nephilim. There's discussion about a theory where dogmen are creations of hybridization or supernatural tinkering, and how various cryptids may have originated from biblical or mythological events. 01:40:00 --> 01:50:00 – A news story about Florida ranking among the best states to survive an alien invasion is covered and mocked. The group critiques the bizarre criteria used, including caves and healthcare access, and compares state rankings. They explore the absurdity of a website called "Gigacalculator" being the authority on alien readiness. 01:50:00 --> 02:00:00 – Ohio ranks #19 in alien invasion survival, while states like Nevada and Arizona are at the bottom. They joke about calculating alien defense readiness with giggle-based math. Another local story is covered about a Portland man repeatedly finding gallons of urine in his recycling bin. Speculation includes tiger urine sales and the return of the woman living in the toilet exporting her waste.

Sometimes comedy can be a gateway to deeper emotions. We explore those depths with our guest dad, Leighton Smith, and his selection of Groundhog Day (1993). Bill Murray's quest to be better, is something very relatable. We also watched a Movie You Can't Wait To Show Your Kids in What About Bob? (1991). An early "dive" into mental health and how a different perspective can yield tremendous results.Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersGoogle Podcasts: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

From representing Yoko Ono to winning class action lawsuits on behalf of actors and musicians, Neville Johnson and his partner Douglas Johnson (no relationship) have built one of the most interesting and successful entertainment law practices in the nation, specializing in representing “talent” as opposed to the business side of the industry.  Join Rahul and Ben for a fascinating discussion with Neville and Doug, as they describe how they got their start in this practice, recount some of their most interesting cases, and talk about trends in entertainment law resulting from new technologies. About Neville Johnson - Senior PartnerWebsite: Johnson and Johnson, LLP Law Firm | Johnson and Johnson, LLP (jjllplaw.com) Professional Experience:Neville L. Johnson graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Berkeley (1971).  He received his law degree from Southwestern Law School (1975), graduating near the top of his class.  He has tried over 28 civil jury trials and over 70 civil trials and arbitrations without a jury. He is a member of the invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), and is on the Board of Governors of the Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles (CAALA since 2005), the Board of Directors of the national organization Public Justice, and on the Board of Governors of the Beverly Hills Bar Association 2013-2015 and 2020-2022 (BHBA). Johnson is a long-time member of the invitation-only Los Angeles Copyright Society, and on the Board of The California Society of Entertainment Lawyers. He was nominated for Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2005 by CAALA.  He was Co-Chair of the Entertainment Law Section of the Beverly Hills Bar Association from 2009 to 2011. He has been on the Planning Committee of the USC Entertainment Law Institute since 2011. He has appeared in courts in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. In 2020, Mr. Johnson and his team secured a verdict in a Right of Publicity case of over 9 Million Dollars in damages, and over 7 Million Dollars in attorneys fees. Mr. Johnson has litigated and settled countless cases against a wide array of defendants concerning royalty accounting, profit participation, publicity rights, idea theft, copyright infringement, and many other entertainment law matters. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Southwestern Law School since 2012, where he teaches Entertainment and Media Litigation. However, his greatest pride has been in defending the privacy rights of all citizens against the worst malefactors in the media. His work in this field was perhaps best summarized by Professor David A. Elder, a leading expert on the law of privacy, who published the following special dedication in his treatise, Privacy Torts: To Neville L. Johnson… who has led the charge, often successfully (and always creatively and with great passion) in exposing some of the worst outrages of media newsgathering. Neville ranks with Brandeis and Warren as the great defenders of privacy. All America is in his debt. Mr. Johnson has practiced entertainment law and IP law since 1975 [except for 10 months in 1977-78 when he was a Public Defender (juvenile) in Los Angeles County and handled over 100 matters, including two murder trials and one attempted murder trial]. Mr. Johnson has represented many well-known celebrities and entertainment concerns. The firm currently represents Sylvester Stallone in net profit litigation, and many other writers, directors, actors, producers, musicians, models, and JoJo Siwa, the biggest teen star in the world. He and his firm have been lead counsel in many class actions, including pioneering class actions in the entertainment industry against the entertainment unions, major record companies and motion picture companies. The firm has also handled a number of consumer class actions. The firm handles 15 to 20 right of publicity cases a year. Mr. Johnson is a frequent lecturer and written extensively on entertainment, copyright and media and other legal topics, including in London, England  (Entertainment attorneys based in the UK, London Branch of Entertainment Section of BHBA), Cannes, France (MIDEM, the international music convention), New York (ABA Forum on Communications Section, and Entertainment Law Section and New York Bar Assn.: Entertainment Law Section), Nashville (ABA Entertainment Law Section), Las Vegas (ABA Entertainment Law Section), Miami, Arizona State University, Stanford University, U.C. Berkeley, Loyola Law School, Southwestern Law School, USC Entertainment Law Institute annual forum (3 times) as well as the undergraduate school, California Western School of Law, California State University, Northridge, and many times to the Entertainment Section of the BHBA as a panelist or moderator), the Intellectual Property Section of Los Angeles County Bar Assn., and Berklee College of Music (Boston). Johnson & Johnson LLP, based in Beverly Hills, California, is a litigation firm that specializes in complex litigation with a particular emphasis on entertainment, intellectual property, right of publicity, privacy, defamation, consumer issues, and class actions. Mr. Johnson and the firm also negotiate business and entertainment agreements. Representative Matters:Obtained a 9.6 Million Dollar jury verdict after a seven week jury trial for claim of violation of the right of publicity, Hansen v. The Coca Cola Company, the largest verdict for a right of publicity case in the history of the United States. The trial court also awarded 7.4 million dollars in attorneys' fees.Obtained a unanimous landmark privacy ruling from the California Supreme Court in Sanders v. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.

It's time to understand just what New Hampshire is all about - Cthulhus, insanity and childhood trauma. You'd think New Hampshire would be a sedate episode but this week is filled with crazy people. Some are being controlled by evil forces where the real terror comes from the colour blue (In The Mouth Of Madness), some have been almost driven crazy by the death game that has ensnared another for 26 years (Jumanji) and some are driven to murder by an even crazier person (What About Bob?). Is New Hampshire's motto 'Live Free of Die' actually a threat? Let's get into it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hilarious Zak Toscani drops by to watch the black comedy classic, What About Bob? We also spent a lot of time discussing the Invasion of the Body Snatchers as well as few other horror movies.

Just in time for turkey day, in which we have a lot to be thankful for, comes this delightful discussion with plenty of fixins. Fresh from their excellent new podcast, A Tripp Through Comedy, two new guests join me but I've been following them ever since we all met during Triviaspotting. Ross Bratin and Tripp Burton join me to talk all about the filmography of Frank Oz, someone each of us love and grew up with - whether as a Muppet or as a director, his achievements and talent are immeasurable.  We start with his very first solo gig as a director, The Muppets Take Manhattan and go all the way up to his last narrative feature, Death at a Funeral. We discover some thematic ties and most importantly, we have lots of laughs due to Oz's incredible skills as a comedic filmmaker. In other words, mostly (but not entirely) a love fest for someone that we hope gets together again to make another film in the future. But if not, we're glad he accomplished so much throughout his career. Thank you so much to Tripp & Ross and to you for listening! 00:00 - 36:29 - Intro / Get To Know Ross + Tripp 36:30 - 01:21:27 - The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop Of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 01:21:28 - 01:48:47 - What About Bob?, Housesitter, The Indian in the Cupboard 01:48:48 - 02:27:15 - In & Out, Bowfinger, The Score 02:27:16 - 02:56:43 - The Stepford Wives, Death at A Funeral 02:56:44 - 03:07:30 - Top 3 Frank Oz Films / Outro Follow Ross: https://letterboxd.com/rbratin https://twitter.com/rbratin Follow Tripp: https://letterboxd.com/enb3 https://twitter.com/TrippBurton13 A Tripp Through Comedy: https://twitter.com/attcpod Jim Is Here: https://linktr.ee/jimlaczkowski https://5years.substack.com

This week I'm continuing my series with Dr. Joel Minden, and we discussed a fun and interesting topic: psychotherapists in popular media, including film, TV, and comic strips. We explored what these depictions get right, the challenges of presenting therapy accurately, and why therapists so often are portrayed as buffoons. Specific topics we touched on included: Common therapist tropes in movies and TV shows The movie Mumford Richard Dreyfuss as Leo Marvin in the 1991 film What About Bob? The accelerated pace of change in dramatized versions of therapy Therapists pushing their patients to “go deeper” and explore painful parts of their lives The TV show Shrinking The “psychiatrist” Lucy Van Pelt in the Peanuts comic strip Robin Williams's portrayal of therapist Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting Steve Carrell as therapist Alan Strauss in The Patient Jennifer Melfi (played by Lorraine Bracco) on The Sopranos Gabriel Byrne as therapist Paul Weston on In Treatment The iconic tissue pass in therapy The potentially big impact of small interventions in therapy, and in life Harry Stack Sullivan's Interpersonal Theory and Psychotherapy (affiliate link) The movie Suture and psychogenic amnesia Larry David's therapist on Curb Your Enthusiasm The power dynamics of chairs in therapy office Joel Minden, PhD, is a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and related disorders.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we're analyzing one of Dr. Furey's favorite movies - the 2008 comedy "Step Brothers" starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. In this lighthearted episode, we use the comedic depiction of two 40-something year-old men living with their parents to discuss failure to launch syndrome and common difficulties encountered when blending families. We also explore the depiction of an enabling vs dismissive parent, the thrapist-patient dynamics between Brennan and Denise, and the classic narcissistic traits embodied by evil older brother Derek. We hope you enjoy! Instagram TikTok Website [00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. [00:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. [00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. [00:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. [00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. [00:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. [00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. [00:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. [00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Welcome back for another episode. I am personally thrilled to be talking about one of my favorite movies of all time, the 2008 smash hit Step Brothers. I feel like in rewatching it for this podcast, I didn't even need to. I know every single line of dialogue, but I still love it so much. [01:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think my husband's favorite movie of all time. [01:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. This movie also happens to always be on every time I'm in a hotel on TBS or where they're censoring a lot of the dialogue. It's still funny. [01:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. This movie is just, like, iconic. The cast is ridiculous. Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Adam Scott. We have Mary Steenbergen, who's also the mom and elf. [01:46] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. [01:46] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Which we're going to be will Ferrell. So it's just like I think he likes working with her. She likes working with him. It's just they're great. [01:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: I love it. Yeah. [01:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Her voice and her mannerisms, I just love. [01:57] Dr. Katrina Furey: She was so good in this role. Like, all the times when her and Richard Jenkins, who plays Jobak, like, when you can tell he's trying to lay down the law, and she's like, Robert thinks we agree. It's time for you to move, know. Or like, when he's so mad they destroyed his boat with the boats and host thing. And she's like, I am so upset that you two destroyed his boat. That being said, I thought you showed a lot of enthusiasm and inventiveness. And I was like, in some ways, you're so enabling them, but in other ways, that's so loving. [02:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: She reminds me a lot of the actress herself and the roles that she's playing reminds me of the wife in What About Bob? [02:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. [02:44] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: She plays similar roles. She has a very similar cadence. [02:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: The way she sort of like light, airy voice. I totally agree. Totally agree. And then we have Catherine Hahn as Alice, who is Adam Scott's wife. What do you think about the scene with them in the car with their children singing? [03:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I sing along every time. It is so funny. I think I sing this in the car sometimes with know, I'm not a great like, I can tell that I'm not good, so I have an ear. [03:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I know you're not the little boy's role. [03:20] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: No. [03:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: You might be Catherine. I think I'm her. [03:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And someone can yell, flat. [03:24] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Flat. [03:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: One $200 voice lessons a week. Offer this. And I was like, wow, that is so mean. So mean. [03:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: He is so mean to everyone. Right? [03:35] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, brutal, slurs aside. Like, mean. [03:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: Do you think he is a narcissist? [03:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that he is a not human person. I don't know. Yeah, I guess I'm trying to think of something else. I was even thinking of animals to compare him to. He's just so gross and obsessed with putting other people down and himself. And sometimes I think, too, I wonder if he is, because he's so homophobic. [04:11] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Maybe he. [04:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Pushing something down. [04:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Repressed energy. [04:16] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [04:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: To be clear, we are talking about Adam Scott's character, Derek, not Scott himself. [04:22] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right? [04:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Who I don't think is, like, this character at I thought, you know, again, this movie is so funny. It is a comedy, clearly. [04:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So they're pushing they're pushing every character to the max. [04:36] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [04:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it's so ridiculous over the top. [04:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: And yet I still think displays some really interesting topics in a really accurate right. Like, I really think Derek meets a lot of criteria for narcissistic traits. [04:53] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [04:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, he's constantly putting other people down to make himself feel better. I loved all the family dinners where he's, like, bragging about going fishing with Jay Z or whatever he's doing. And then by the end, they have to be like, okay, Derek, that's enough. They have to cue him, let other people know. [05:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But then Robert is so enamored with. [05:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Derek, which people can be, and his. [05:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Own son, Dale down in such a mean way that the stepmom Nancy has to tell him to stop. [05:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: But then also, Nancy also chimes in with Brendan has a mangina. [05:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I know, right? [05:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: But this is what these sorts of people can do. They can pull this out of you. [05:39] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [05:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: They can make you feel. [05:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: When she's yeah, like and then I joined in. [05:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's just like what? But the whole scene with Will Ferrell dressed like a pirate doing his dancing on the stage is just and the. [05:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Fact that he is so clearly like, a middle aged man, even. [05:58] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [05:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They're playing, right? Like, you know, in real time. But, like, the flashback, it's, like, still. [06:04] Dr. Katrina Furey: This middle aged so funny. But that's what mean. Like, these sorts of little things. I'm like you're kind of hitting the nail on the head, though. You see Derek splitting the family, right. Even his new stepdad. It's really interesting. He's so mean to his wife and kids. You can tell they all have to be perfect. They're all there to play a role and fill his own need. Of course. He's a real estate agent on the side, right? I just have my license on the side. I had one supervisor once say that. I don't know if there's any data to back this up, and I don't want to offend our listeners who are real estate agents. But she said in her clinical experience. And she's been doing this for decades and decades. There's a lot of narcissism in real estate. And I was like, that's interesting. And she's like, yeah, if you think about it, part of their job is to form relationships quickly, often superficially, and to sell things. And I was like, that's interesting. Yeah, so I just thought for him, it tracked. And I just thought, even though this is so over the top, they did depict this. I don't even know if back in 2008 this was as much of a thing, but this whole notion of failure to launch. [07:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Because that's a movie too, right? [07:21] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It is. [07:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: And even though there's like that new Jennifer Lawrence movie, it's kind of about it. Maybe I haven't seen it yet, or maybe it's just they want to prep their son for. [07:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Mean. Failure to Launch, I think is an interesting phenomenon that there's a lot of books out now and yes, like comedic movies as well, but it's really like. [07:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: This interesting cultural, societal thing that's happening. [07:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It seems to be happening more to males than females with just like a anecdotally movies, books. It seems to be more about males that's true. Launch than females. [07:59] Dr. Katrina Furey: Actually, in every single movie we just mentioned, the quote unquote identified patient is a male. [08:05] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [08:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: And in this movie, they're both men. [08:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And I'm just curious what that's about. I wish I had read one of the books that I'm referencing now. [08:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well, we have full time jobs and we're watching a lot of content to do this. So again, if anyone wants to sponsor us, dear Media, feel free and we could really dive into the research. [08:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it happens when the term has been coined, when your adult children are not kind of leaving the home, having independence, able to support themselves financially, emotionally. And you see a lot of I think this is kind of just like the funny end of it. Like basement dwellers who are just kind of living at home. I'd say there also is a difference in my kind of opinion, in practice with today's current housing market and so many people returning home after college or just for whatever reason, after a couple of years, because they just cannot afford to live outside the home. So I'd say, like, if you're living at home and you are working however you are, whatever that looks like, whatever field you are in and contributing to the household in any way that your family is asking you to, and maybe they're not, and that's okay, but that feels different, really. Failure to launch. [09:21] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [09:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think that's a really important distinction to make. And I feel like you're right that there's just so much economic stress for young adults these days in terms of student loans and then housing market and wages and how do you get on your feet? So that, I feel like, is a difference, right? Like sort of living at home until you can launch, but like prepping for the launch and fostering independence along the way. Very different from what we see going on with Dale Brennan. Dale, yeah. Very different. Right? [09:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So childlike. Right? Like so childlike. [10:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Toddlers. [10:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Toddlers. [10:01] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Toddlers. [10:01] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was laughing with what they're eating. So, like chicken nuggets and French fries. A lot of ketchup, which is like a kid meal, right? Kids eat chicken nuggets and they really like ketchup. [10:11] Huff & Doback: Yes. [10:11] Dr. Katrina Furey: They just freaking love ketchup. [10:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like the best condiment ever. It's how kids start learning about condiments. Then we move to a balsamic vinegar. [10:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's the gateway condiment. You got to be careful. It's a slippery slope getting started with that ketchup. [10:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So that was just funny, like in all ways, right? The movie is highlighting them as really just like children. [10:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: They're like into Shark Week. Like just every single thing dealing this drum know, just like being like, you can't come over here because this is like my area. Just like so childlike. And the way that Nancy talks to them is just like how I imagine or do talk to know where she's just you just couldn't hold the fart in or what happened there. I heard you interviewed together for that job. Or maybe take the long way home. Just too much. [11:08] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right? [11:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I just imagine her being like that in real, you know, in this kind of bad way that we're going to get to with enabling. But I just think that she's so soft and kind and open that I just feel like that's her in real life. [11:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: Just like how everyone thinks Jennifer Aniston is who we think she is in real life. But then I'm like, what if they're like raging jerks, right? Could you imagine? What if there were all these blind items that turns out were all about Mary Steenberg? That would be shocking, right? She would tell you to F off, but in a really nice, weird way. [11:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Toned. Right? [11:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: Which is like worse, right? Like maybe even more dangerous than the people who are really in your face. [11:56] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? And it's funny because Robert seems to be irritated with Dale, but it's like you still made him this way, right? And so he gets mad more easily or frustrated with them more. And it's like but you both still have 40 year old sons living with you who are not doing anything. And they both only eat chicken nuggets. They both have their own space. They both are childlike. [12:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: They both wear chewbacca masks. [12:24] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Why are you now getting mad? I get you're probably been frustrated for years, but it's funny, like his response. [12:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: All of a sudden I get the sense that he checked out, right? Like that he's frustrated and he just threw his hands up and was like, I give up. Whereas she is just taking care of Brennan for her own needs, wants to be a mom, right. And is really struggling with letting him go. [12:51] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So more like codependence there. She needs him. [12:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: Even though right. We do see in this movie a lot of very quick and heavy romantic connections, right? Like Robert and Nancy, like, right away lock eyes at that cochlear implement conference. [13:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I love to know what she's doing there. [13:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was like, I wonder if she's like a rep, like a sales rep of some kind. That's the vibe. [13:19] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was she's not called Doctor and he is. [13:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: He's the doctor. [13:24] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [13:24] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's like, the point. [13:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: I love Dale wanting to go into family business. [13:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [13:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: And he's like, Trust me, I've tried to tell him that's not how it works, but it's just so funny. Like, at the beginning, they're being intimate and then she tells him, she's like, I have to get this off my chest. And then he's like, Me too. And then that's it. That seals it's like a trauma bond, right? They're like, quickly bonded. And then we see Alice, Derek's wife, fall hot and heavy for Dale very quickly. What did you think of that? [14:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Well, besides feeling gross about it and just write the, like, gross open mouth, like, lapping of each other's faces was just like, making me one of them. [14:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Can you imagine if that's like, your job as an actor? Like, all these people around you, and they're like, okay, do it again. [14:19] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And do it in a way that will disgust people. [14:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Do it more. Do it like more slobbery. Like, okay, we got to get it from this angle. [14:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The scene where they're like, in the forest, right? And she's like, running after him. She sees him, and then it's just so cringy and funny. [14:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: But if the roles were reversed, like, if it was Dale coming onto her with that intensity, don't you think it. [14:43] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Would feel more I also just think because of their body stature, right? She's like, small, he's really tall. And so when she kind of assaults him in the bathroom and climbs on top of him with zero foreplay and zero consent right. Asking any questions. And then they finish together after 4 seconds, it just feels like right? Like she's the girl, she's small, he could get off her, he could leave if he wanted. [15:13] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [15:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But yes, 100% the other way. If the roles were reversed, even just for body structure, I think it would be more like assaultive. [15:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, it would feel more I mean, it is uncomfortable to watch, but it's also a comedy. But you're like, well, Dale's kind of speaking like Attack. [15:30] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And Dale is also like a child, right? So I don't think he knows what's going on, really, what you do in those situations. Besides, there's a lot of masturbation. They have a lot of the nudie mags. And he has this collection that's from like seventy s, eighty s and ninety s and Brennan's crinkling a page because there's three lower body parts with hair on that page. And it's like a classic and it's. [15:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: Just like so funny. I know. [15:56] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh my God. [15:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And their favorite magazine to ********** to. That's not a nudie. Good Housekeeping. When they're like, aligning finally and have all of these things in common. [16:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, my God. [16:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Combining families is hard. [16:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: It is portia. [16:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It is typically less hard for very obvious reasons. And it doesn't make it not hard, but it's less hard when your children are older. [16:19] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [16:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it's like harder to combine families. I'd say the hardest time I find is when you're in teenhood. So I'd say like ten, I don't know, eight to 18 feels because life is so hard those years. [16:38] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [16:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: I do just want to point out, like eight to 18 is like a good chunk of childhood. So just to point out, most of the time it's hard. [16:45] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [16:45] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, like, babies, I would say, don't really know anything different till like three. [16:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: That's it. [16:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Three to 18. All of childhood. It's really sounding when you're aware. [17:01] Huff & Doback: Once. [17:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: You have awareness, it's really hard because. [17:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It is so different. [17:06] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [17:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think one of the hardest things is really not always the siblings, but the parents. Like this guy or this girl who's an adult is coming into your house and you could have the most self aware stepparent who's doing their own work, who's so kind, who's communicative, who's asking questions, and it's still hard. There's boundaries that are supposed to be kind of coming together, but it doesn't feel good at first, and they can't tell me what to do and it feels weird. And what are the other parents? Are they around? It's very challenging, even in the best of circumstances with the best kind of adults. [17:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: And the adults, I feel like, have. [17:44] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: To be able to tolerate the pushback. [17:47] Dr. Katrina Furey: From the kids and not take it personally and just be like, this is to be expected and you have to weather the storm. But I think you do have to have a degree of psychological mindedness and total awareness to be able to do that. [18:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So I think when you have adult children who are 40 plus, who a shouldn't be living in the home real. [18:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: It shouldn't even matter. [18:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It really shouldn't matter. That's why it's so unless right. The partner, your dad is dating this woman and she's horrible. [18:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Take advantage of him. [18:19] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [18:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: But I think that's what makes this movie so funny. And it's like if this movie were done with children between the ages of three and 18, you could still do it. [18:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Exactly. [18:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: What would happen? [18:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe testing, maybe splitting. [18:36] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [18:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like I'm going to ask now, Stepdad, because he's probably going to say yes. I think it's just like it's interesting when Dale is testing Nancy about know, I like to have a lot of fresh fruit around and I like, whatever in my pancakes or something. [18:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: And she's like, okay, that sounds great. [18:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Great stepmom, if anyone's going to be a stepmom. Nancy is the way to go. So supportive. [19:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: I know, but again, where does it tip over from support to enabling, right? And I thought it's crossed. Where do you think it got crossed? [19:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe at the mangina moment. [19:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Maybe she just feels so guilty that now from then on, whatever. [19:19] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe I don't know Dale and Robert. But I'm also curious, just as a side note, and we have no information like what happened to the other parents. [19:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: So are they deceased? [19:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And did that have anything to do right. With kind of enabling or not parenting kids anymore? Maybe, but we don't like I thought. [19:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: They said that Nancy and her husband got divorced and she said what's harder on Brennan? I'm blanking on what happened. Know Mrs. Doback number one, or who knows if there was more than one before Nancy. Maybe she didn't, I don't know. [19:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel like she did and I don't know why. Maybe they said that really quickly, but. [20:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think she did. But again, I get the sense Brennan's younger, like Derek's doing okay and then Brennan is stuck at home. But again, I think isn't that what we see in family structures like this? That usually it is the youngest with the parent if there is some codependency. [20:18] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [20:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: At least in my experience. That's what I've seen. Again, I'm not like a family structure expert by any means. [20:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No. I think it's hard to be in any family system who is merging with another family system. [20:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, and it's just like they just really touched on some of the, I would say, like common roadblocks in a really humorous way. And I think you could do it because they're like full on adults and they're hilarious. [20:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like space. [20:49] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [20:49] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So having your own space or having conversations about space is so difficult if you're merging a family. And what if everyone can't? What if you don't have the money for a 5000 square foot home where one has their own bathroom and bedroom? It's like sometimes people do have to share and that feels there's not always. [21:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: Enough room for activities. [21:07] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Really difficult. And Dale's drum set should have been moved. It needed to be. [21:15] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [21:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: And that's another place where they're enabling him and they're not helping the families merge by being like, okay, fine, you can keep your drum set. You do have to make but then again, it's like but it's also hard on Dale. [21:28] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: This is his space. It's so delicate. And you just said but it's a comedic way of pointing out really challenging things that this happens all the time, right? Like family. Unfortunately, the divorce rate is high. And as we know, evidence says that it's better to have an amicable divorce than to stay in a bad relationship for your children. So a lot of people will stay married because they think that's what's best. Even though they're constantly fighting. It's tense, it's bad, it's like it's actually better to have. Not everyone can do this. Like an okay divorce where the parents. [22:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: Can co parent supportively. [22:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That is great. Kids turn out great. But it's like these really messy things where there's a lot of **** talking. The other parental alienation. That's when things go really go south. [22:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. So then in terms of other common roadblocks, when people are merging families, what are some other things that you noticed this film depicted? And again, like a hugely ironic, funny way, but pretty accurately. [22:45] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It felt like Brennan and Dale hadn't met before. They just got married really quick and they both had this big reaction at the wedding. And again, because it happened really fast, which again, they should be able to do because you have two, three. But like very adult children, that should be fine. [23:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: But for younger kids, it is nice to have a transition period where you. [23:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Slow process, get to know each other. [23:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: You don't just move right in, right? [23:15] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: This is like mom's special friend who's coming for dinner a lot. And then there's these nice moments where there's like play and you're not in a parent role. You move slowly. Sometimes the snails pace, sometimes backwards. But it should be like friend and fun into kind of both into then like the caregiver role, right. [23:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: But you don't just jump in and. [23:40] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Expect and then make demand. Listen, right? Exactly. Never going to work. [23:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [23:46] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But they should meet many times and do some fun things, right? Like go to the movies, go see a show. It's easier. And even this in general is good advice for people who are a little uncomfortable. Maybe like if you have some social anxiety, it's good to do things that you can talk about, right? Like go for a hike, go to see a movie, go get a pedicure. And don't just stare at each other and all hang out in your living room. [24:09] Dr. Katrina Furey: Go for a walk, play with something. [24:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That'S so much easier to do than just having to talk to each other. So they should have done some events. [24:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: And it's hard, too, right, when two parents are falling in love and creating a relationship and they have children of their own, then you're like, well, the kids, you want the kids to get along. And what if they just don't? Right? That's got to be really challenging. [24:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think it's difficult and there's not really anything you can do about this. But when kids are really the same age so if your mom starts dating your dad and you guys are in the same grade at school and then you move in together eventually, even if it's like the grade process and it was slow, it's like all of a sudden your step brothers in your class. That's hard. I think. Again, maybe not none of this is easy, but if you're like 15 and your new stepsister is seven, it's like that feels a little bit easier because the roles are so clear. You have your own identity. You're not having to mix friend groups or these expectations. [25:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Or like, what if you were attracted to your new stepsibling or something? Like, if you're both teenagers, I mean, that is a I feel like that happens. [25:35] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Do we also see a therapist patient depiction in this movie? [25:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Which I forgot about, but then I was like, oh, this is perfect. [25:44] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right? [25:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: So we see that when Nancy and Robert are trying to push them out of the nest. They're like, we signed you I loved when they're talking to them and they're like, we put enough money in your account for security deposit, and we're going to give you another kind of support. We signed you up for therapy. And I was like, that was a really thoughtful way of introducing this idea. So we see Brennan in therapy with his therapist named Denise. What did you think of this, Portia? [26:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So also, just like right? Playing on this other trope of right, you you have sexual relations with your therapist. They end up falling in love with you. They come on to you. They're obsessed with you. I think it happens with other providers, too. I don't know. [26:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's always a female therapist, though. I mean, this is just like such a Nick Rope or Nick with you. But I'm just thinking, like, in suits, this happened. It's just in The Sopranos, we see this. I'm like, is this like a fantasy? I think it is, because it's teacher, too. [26:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You see a lot. [26:49] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. [26:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: You see that like a woman in power. But I just thought it was so funny. Again, looking at her office pretty good. That was pretty good. She's not wearing suggestive clothing. She's in, like, a business suit. And it's just so funny that she reflects something back to him. So basic. I think she's like, that must be hard. And you see Brennan go. Yeah. Yeah. And then that's it. [27:16] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He loves know. He feels so seen. She's the only one who can understand him. Like, wow. [27:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: He's like, oh my God, we're in love. And then throughout the rest of the movie, remember when Nancy's like, oh, Denise called and she said she's not your like, stop asking her. And he's like, did she say that? [27:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That rascal. And he's like, no, she's not your girlfriend. [27:40] Dr. Katrina Furey: But then she shows up at the end. [27:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Of course she does, right? And is so moved by his singing. She's like and everyone is right. I mean, his singing is excellent. And also the song choice is just so funny. Perfect. Like it had to be Italian, right? He can sing in Italian. Like, he knows all the words. Of course it had to be and Dale is an excellent know it's like, you guys are great. You're actually very talented. [28:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: And when finally pushed lovingly or hopefully lovingly, they can rise to the occasion. They're both working on their feet. [28:15] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [28:15] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It seems like Brennan had planned the Catalina Wine Mixer, and Dale is working as a chef. [28:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, my God. Mark my words. Portia, remind me when I turn 40, I want to have a Catalina wine. [28:28] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that's an excellent party theme for a 40th birthday. Right. I feel like this should be normal. [28:35] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [28:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: So just remind me in a couple of years. [28:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I'll put in my calendar. [28:39] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Thank you. [28:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, but oh, my gosh. I mean, it was so funny, though, when she's showing up and Nancy's like, oh, hey. And again, it's like, oh, my God, these are such inappropriate boundaries. You're all calling her by her first name. Some therapists are fine with that, but I just feel like in this situation, probably not. And she's like, I had to come. I had a legal obligation because he threatened to harm himself. Back up. That doesn't mean you as therapist, show up. [29:04] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [29:04] Dr. Katrina Furey: Which again, this is a comedy. It's funny, but you call the police or things like that. But again, it is just depicting that Brennan has some problematic behaviors and boundary problems. [29:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then Denise gets really angry and just starts calling all out the parents. [29:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: You're enabling. [29:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And she has this moment, and you're like, wow. But yeah, guess. But maybe we could have said this in a way where everyone could have heard it in a session where you're being paid and it's like real then there's boundaries around that. Not at where I'm assuming people have had a couple wine mixers and then we see. [29:46] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [29:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Derek try to be emotional with Brennan. And he can't. They're trying to hug and they're just like, leaning on each other, and it's so then, you know, Derek has this outburst, again, because he can't be nice to just it's funny, but it's so ridiculous. [30:06] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [30:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: And it's also like derek probably does have a lot of repressed emotion, like you're talking about. He does use the F word slur a lot, which is hard to watch nowadays. Looking back at some of these old movies, we're just like, oh, gosh. [30:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Because it's like the go to slur for any guy. [30:25] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [30:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like such a put down with. [30:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, oh, you're being this or you're being that. [30:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And it's like, we don't have any. [30:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: Other creative ways to being like you're. [30:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like a girl or you're gay. And all people said and I do think it's interesting because I think the F word is so much more shocking than like, oh, that's so gay. Right. I think that was really common. And everybody I'm not going to throw everyone under the bus, but that was something that I think most people said in the early two thousand s and. [30:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Ninety s too much. [30:54] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [30:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But really, I think still, the F slur was still reserved for more. [31:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: It feels a little more aggressive. It does. It feels like more aggressive. [31:06] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It does. [31:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And so now it feels really. Horrible, and I just think it was, like, a little bit of the times. But also, I do know that with my young adolescent clients, people still do say this. I think we're just also removed from it. I think it has changed a little bit, but I think it's still happening, and I would just love it to not. [31:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. No, I totally agree. All right, well, so as we start wrapping up this episode again of one of the greatest movies of all, know, slurs aside, which, again, I don't want to minimize how awful it is to. [31:40] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Use language like some just putting this out, there like, a little bit of racism thrown in there. When Derek is showing that couple the house, and he's, like, talking to them, and they're like, Why are you saying it like that? [31:53] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. [31:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just call just call us, like, mean, I just think that's not funny know? [32:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: I don't know. [32:02] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [32:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: No, I hear you. [32:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't think it ever should have been, but it feels so much more. [32:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like it feels dated. [32:07] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [32:09] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Let's be more creative. [32:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Do you think they were doing that to point out this kind of behaviors from Derek? [32:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I think it was to point out that he would be like, um. [32:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: And that it's, like, not um. Okay, but as we wrap up, I do think as budding entrepreneurs, I'm really curious to hear what you thought about their pitch to everyone at Derek's birthday party about Prestige Worldwide, because we keep talking about what can we do to get the word out about our podcast. [32:45] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right? [32:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I was like, well, this is a creative idea. [32:47] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [32:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe we should make a slide music video combined with a music video of a boat and show it at a party. Right. Can we do it really fast? I'm having one this weekend, and we could just show it. [33:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think, though, the thing is that they showed it at a party with new people. Like, these weren't people they knew. Right. I think all of the people we know are already supporting us, which is great. So I'm like, okay, so what entrepreneur tips can I take from this video presentation? A music videos with a catchy song stick in your head. Like, I know all the words. The Santa, the Zena Maria do in the back while I'm drinking sangria. Like, we all know the words. Okay, so maybe that's an interesting tactic. Again, like, you keep saying we got to go viral. It's kind of similar. Right. And then pitching it to strangers with money, I guess, and wanting investments. [33:44] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think that they just do such a good job of being bold. They are unashamed of who they are and what they're promoting. And at the end of their Know serenade at the Catalina Wine Mixer, I love how Dale in the background is saying potent hose, and then it's like Prestige Worldwide. So we have to do things like that. [34:06] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, we do. [34:07] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe we should do it at the end. This is a joke for people listening. At the end of our sessions, I'm just going to start saying, analyze Group. [34:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: I'll see you next week. Because people are leaving, like, their hands on the door. You know how in our field there's always like the doorknob comment we talk about when people are leaving therapy and they're like, by the way, you're never going to make me cry. [34:28] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right? [34:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: By the way, I'm getting divorced. [34:30] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. [34:30] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: By the way, this by the way. [34:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: I had this repressed memory. Come back and then, bye, see you in two weeks. I hope you enjoy your vacation. But this could be ours where people leave my script. [34:40] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: What? [34:40] Dr. Katrina Furey: And you're like, oh, nothing. [34:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, psychologically, which is not ethical. I'm going to implant these little whispers. [34:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Of the podcast, like subliminal messaging. [34:50] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like you're going to play in the. [34:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Waiting room, but like, backwards somehow. [34:55] Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. [34:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: So it just gets in your head. Our theme song. Oh, my God. I just love it.

What a fun conversation with long time musicians, legendary almost for this area, Bones Kasun, Pat Coast and Tom Kuntz who are part of the band called What About Bob. All three of them started playing in their early teens, and the passion about music is clear with each of them. We really enjoyed reminiscing about the old bands they were part of over the years, and the local influences that shaped their music careers.  Check them out on Facebook @whataboutbob.

I wasn't feeling so hot yesterday so took a time-out day and watched "Shrinking", the Apple TV series that has a superb cast and follows the lives of three therapists and their friends and families. It's full of expletives, especially the f bomb. Which is fine by me but there's wasn't one person in the cast who didn't explore its complete usage… It's also very moving. And I was relieved to see that except for some entertaining but weirdly unethical behavior, the therapists are painted as caring and trying hard to help. But also having HUGE struggles in their own lives. I get it. There have been times when my struggles have been larger than others. And yet it's still my job to be there for my clients – the way they've come to expect me being there.  Because I'm a shrink.

It's full of expletives, especially the f bomb. Which is fine by me but there's wasn't one person in the cast who didn't explore its complete usage… It's also very moving. And I was relieved to see that except for some entertaining but weirdly unethical behavior, the therapists are painted as caring and trying hard to help. But also having HUGE struggles in their own lives. I get it. There have been times when my struggles have been larger than others. And yet it's still my job to be there for my clients – the way they've come to expect me being there.  Because I'm a shrink. So, I thought today we could talk about what those expectations – at least the basic ones – are. There are skads of different approaches and schools – that we'll leave for another episode. But I'm talking basic stuff here – the stuff that both behind the scenes and front and center – can be the building blocks of trust and safety in therapy. I'd already published an episode on creating emotional safety in therapy. That'll be in your show notes. Today, we're focusing on basics. The listener email today is from a listener in Bermuda who's tried several therapists but not found one that has helped her – what she calls “manage' her depression as its recurrent. And do I know any international treatment options? ‘I'll do my best to answer her – have done several episodes on emotional regulation or managing emotions so I'd start by having her search for managing depression or managing emotions on my website at drmargaretrutherford.com to help locate things I've already mentioned could be helpful. Before we go on, let's hear from BetterHelp – rated the “best” online therapy service… Yesterday I woke up in a bad mood. I'm usually quite cheerful in the morning, a trait others might love or might need me to tone down a bit, depending on their own morning ritual. But yesterday, several things cropped up. We'd eaten at a place that we hadn't been to in a long time for dinner the night before. And my stomach didn't particularly care for what it had been offered. And my gut is usually like iron, so I haven't built many skills for handling that discomfort. And I was tired. I'd been going pretty strong for several weeks with no break - and like every other time I do that, the same thing happens. Overwork and overbusy brings bad mood - a little feeling of self-pity or entitlement that I can act less nicely to my spouse - just because I'm in a bad mood. That choice only makes my mood worse however, because I know what I'm doing - giving myself permission to be a jerk - when the little part of me that's watching what's going on is saying, "What in the hell are you doing and why did you talk to him like that?' But I rode in sullen silence to our usual Saturday breakfast diner. (which might've been a relief for said spouse...). And when we got there, they'd put in new lighting that was flickering every few seconds, a glitch that needed fixing. As I was already feeling kinda yuck, then I felt like I might be thrown back into vertigo which I'd experienced for the first and hopefully last time a few months back. So, I was staring down at the table, trying to decide what I could eat, trying to be nice to the waitress, when my husband made me laugh, making fun of the plethora of physical complaints expressed by the two of us since rising. Thank God for laughter. It didn't help my stomach - but my bad mood lifted almost instantly. Not that that happens every time. Sometimes, like everyone else, I can hold onto worry or feeling sorry for myself - whatever's constituting my "mood..." until... I get to the office. And I become your therapist. My mood needs to change - and it's my job to know how to do that. To get out of my head as much as possible - and tune into you. Not that where I am isn't going to affect that. But I need to try as much as possible to take my little bruised ego and put it on the shelf (fancy word here.. compartmentalized) until I have the time and space to look at what might be causing it. And that time is AFTER I've seen you. Interestingly, what I've noticed is that when this happens, or when I'm actually sad about something in my life, I focus differently. Maybe better in some way, because I'm coming from a quieter place? That's at least what I've thought. So when I also finished watching the first season of "Shrinking" yesterday, I had to stop and consider - once again - how others may see their therapists, what they expect on both an intangible but also a very tangible, pragmatic level.  The series is filled to the brim with f... this and f... that and there's a lot of sex being had, drugs being taken, and sarcasm being passed out. But all in all, at least the therapists are portrayed as really caring and wanting to help, although ethical boundaries are entertainingly (but not realistically) loose. Not since 1991's "What About Bob" - which if you haven't seen it and you're in therapy, you definitely should see - has there been more dual or triple relationships between therapist and patient. But back to how you see your therapist... I was always curious about mine. I was relieved when one very helpful but more soft-spoken therapist told me she'd thrown a plate at her husband when she got mad one time  - after the hundredth time of me shaming myself in her office for the way I'd acted when angry. It's not that my choices didn't need to change. But her joining me in living with regret was helpful. Now, we're going to turn to talking about these basic intangibles and tangibles in the therapeutic process. I do want to announce this – I took a lot of this from my very first SelfWork episode! The one I created “in class” – I was so very nervous… So I used the ebook I'd created for subscribers to my website as my “structure.” It was funny – when I pulled out that book today to see if I could use any of the material, I realized that most of it is still very good. And hits the basics. What I need to add to that today is so much more about online therapy and changes in HIPAA due to that. Also, the rise of life coaches – a career that's been around quite a while but within the last five or more years, has exponentially grown. And even more techniques to choose from – which is wonderful but also confusing. So let's first talk about the intangibles.. there are seven of them. Have a strong therapeutic alliance: feel that the two of you are working together well. What does this mean? One my FB group members commented – when I told them I was writing this post and what might they want to add… said the “power differential” was difficult for her. Meaning that her life was the focus of the relationship as well as her vulnerability being exposed… and that was one of the most difficult things for her. To me, this may mean the therapeutic alliance isn't strong enough. She may want a more collaborative kind of therapy – one where there's a little more ease – even though again, the work is hers to do. But you want to feel as if your therapist understands you – and is working toward helping you in the way you understand and want. Know how you're moving toward positive change; be able to say how you're getting better in a tangible way. This may be harder with some approaches than others – and honestly, probably reflects my own bias toward a more collaborative approach. So, I'm admitting my bias. I think it fits our lives today – and with both of you knowing what you're aiming for, the changes that when they happen, you'll both be able to know you've done “the work” – that's vital to me. That doesn't need to mean the change itself isn't in the emotional or mental realm. But knowing you got there – and how you got there – is important. Have a therapist that is attentive in session. Believe it or not, I have heard stories of therapists going to sleep. Or forgetting major things that you've told them. This is a pragmatic thing but it has huge relational components. If you feel I am really listening to you, really seeing you, and helping you see yourself – then trust is built. I have a fairly new patient right now – a fairly young guy – who says he loves therapy because of this very thing. His family situation was tough in some ways – and being seen means the world to him. Believe your therapist knows what they're doing. And you know their basic treatment strategy. What do I mean by this? Well, let's say for the first four to six sessions, I tell you we're going to start connecting your past with your present because, after hearing you tell your story in the first session, I think there would be some helpful connections to make – due to how you're reacting to the present. Maybe things are making you so sad you can't stand it. Or way too mad. Maybe if you understand how you're getting triggered, then you can have more control over those emotions. And you agree to that. But in the third session, I say, “I think we need to start couples work.” That's never been mentioned – I just decide. You can see how that can be unsettling – now if I have a really good reason to change course, okay. Let's talk about it. But out of the blue? Not helpful. Expect reasonable business practices. Okay… the fact is that what can make someone a good therapist may not be what helps them be a good business person. But if not, that's not your responsibility. You need to understand the business aspect of your relationship and that needs to be solid and secure. We'll talk more about that. 6 and 7. I realize six and seven are very integrated – they're about the therapist gaining your trust with your information – not only written information, but you knowing and trusting that confidentiality is being highly respected. And that their business is operating in a way that their staff only has limited access to your information. And also vital – that personal physical and sexual boundaries are being respected as well. There is absolutely no reason why a therapist should engage in any kind of physical touching without your express consent or your request for it. Obviously if my patient suggested something sexual, then I'd need to establish a boundary there and that would become a therapeutic focus. So those are the intangibles. What are the pragmatics? We'll hear those right after this message from AG1. So, here's the quick and dirty list of what you can and should expect pragmatically from a therapist. You should sign a well-written statement concerning your consent to treatment and a confidentiality agreement. That agreement should include information on what the therapist charges and what occurs if you miss an appointment without calling within an appropriate amount of time. HIPAA documents should be made available to you. Or a form that states you have seen the document. Online therapy has its own HIPAA requiremends and you can ask questions about how confidentiality is being kept when and if online therapy is occurring. You should know about how insurance or payment is being handled. Many therapists do not file insurance at all. Some do. You should know whether or not your insurance is through "managed care" or not. That means whether or not your therapist is free to make all clinical judgements or whether your treatment might be modified by your insurance company. This information is available through your insurance company. There is huge variety about the way therapists deal with financial matters. Some will reduce their fee. Some will not. You can ask questions about these topics as you are contacting mental health professionals as a potential therapist or certainly in an initial session. Also, bills should come regularly and as stated initially and costs should not change unless you're notified well ahead of time. Confidentiality in the case of treatment of children, adolescents and in marital work should be outlined. The boundaries of that confidentiality should be understood by all. Your therapist should be very clear with you about whether or not they provide emergency or after hours coverage. You need to know that going into the relationship. You and your provider need to have a plan on what you should do in case of emergency. There are several different mental health degrees that allow people to practice as "therapists." The training is very different between them. Psychiatrists are medical doctors. They prescribe and sometimes offer therapy.  The rest are psychologists, social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists. Perhaps even other designations. When choosing to educate yourself about the training in the different professions so that you can choose well for your particular condition. Feel free to ask how much experience he or she has in working with patients with your particular issue. Ask what specific techniques they will use to help you get better! The profession of life coaching has greatly increased. But it should be made clear that a life coach is not a licensed mental health professional. It's my understanding that there are certifications you can obtain by going through courses offered by life coaching platforms. But please realize the two professions are very different. That doesn't mean better or less than. It means different. I've referred a few patients to qualified life coaches I know and it can be very helpful – as they help the patient deal more with pragmatic things. If you do not feel you are improving, look elsewhere! Ask a medical doctor for other referrals. Frequently, family physicians, pastors or gynecologists have a referral list of mental health professionals. Remember, the "fit" is extremely important! Listener email Hello and good afternoon ,Dr Rutherford, Hope you are well. I am a huge fan of your podcast and listen to it regularly on my walks! I have gained a lot from it,  but was also interested in one to one therapy! I am based in Bermuda, and understand from your website that you wouldn't be able to help with potential clients outside of Arkansas; I just wanted to get in touch to ask if there is anyone globally that you would recommend that can provide therapy remotely? I have tried various therapists all over the world and none have seemed to work for me. I have suffered from recurring depression since a young age, but instead of accepting that and living with it, I would love to finally learn how to manage it. I am very grateful for any guidance or recommendation you are able to share. Kind regards, My response: Hello and thank you for being a listener. I wish I could help with the one-on-one part of what you're seeking. Maybe a way I can help is to write a podcast episode about what “managing” depression actually means. I'd like to research that a bit myself because I can certainly think of clients of mine who do just that. But I'm sure you're not the only person who doesn't exactly know what that might look like. To me, it means asking yourself what's happening or what are you doing or experiencing when you don't feel depressed - and try to add those kinds of things more into your life. And then when you do feel more depressed, what do you do when you're in it? I hope that perhaps that might help. I'll write myself a note so I don't forget! Basically, managing depression – especially recurrent depression – is managing triggers. Knowing what may cause a “flare-up” of emotions that can easily cycle into depression – and either avoiding those triggers if you can – or at the least, being aware of what they are. The most obvious example I can think of right now -.. let's say a wife had an affair or several on business trips out of town. So they work really hard together and things are going well. Then the wife goes out of town without there being any safety or trust plan. Guess what? Something happens and al hell breaks loose. Trust is lost again – perhaps not due to any distrustful behavior, but because the couple hadn't planned on how to stay in touch in order to AVOID a problem. I call that walking into a mine field, knowing it's a mine field, but thinking you can do that unscathed. Being aware – even listing – what is likely to trigger me? Very helpful.

On January 25, 2015, I preached my first sermon as a pastor at Cities Church. We were at Minnehaha Academy, and I assume it was very cold outside. The following Sunday, we would begin our first sermon series in the book of Acts, but this Sunday was the second part of our formal launch and so I preached from Romans 12:1-2 (“Present your bodies as living sacrifices…”). The main thrust of the sermon was to connect worship and mission. Worship is the heartbeat of the church that pumps blood to the rest of the body. We worship Jesus so that we can serve one another and seek the good of the Cities. We gather weekly and walk through the five C's of our liturgy, as God calls us into his presence, and we confess our sins and receive his pardon, and then we are consecrated through song and sermon, and we have communion with him at the Lord's Table, before we are finally commissioned out to be salt and light in the world. That regular worship frees us from being conformed to the world, gives us discernment and wisdom, humbles us so that we self-assess rightly, and then binds us together as one body with various gifts on mission together. It was under 30 minutes. And as I preached that first sermon as a pastor of Cities Church, God knew that eight and a half years later, I would preach my last sermon as a pastor at Cities Church today, on July 2, 2023 from Psalm 66. And just like that first sermon, I (and we) need his help for this one, so let's pray.Part of our goal in annually preaching through the psalms is to help orient you so that you can mine the psalms for the riches they offer. Our hope is that you would grow in your ability to meditate and reflect on the psalms in order to feed your soul. This means sometimes noting connections between psalms so that you see the Psalms as a book, and not just a random collection of isolated songs. For example, Psalms 65-68 are each called “a Song” in the superscript. That's part of why they are clustered together. There are also thematic links between these psalms. Let's just note some of them between Psalm 65 and 66.Awesome Deeds “By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation” (65:5) “Say to God ‘How awesome are your deeds!'” (66:3) “he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man [sons of Adam]” (66:5) Global Focus “The hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas” (65:5) “Shout for joy to God, all the earth…All the earth worships you…Bless our God, O peoples” (66:1, 4, 8) The Temple and Vows and Sacrifices “To you shall vows be performed…you atone for our transgressions…We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple.” (65:1, 3, 4) “I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you” (66:13) Prayer “O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come” (65:2) “Blessed be God because he has not rejected my prayer” (66:20) These thematic links between psalms are opportunities for us to meditate and enlarge our vision of God and what he's done. On top of the themes, we also want to help you to notice structures that organize the psalms. Psalm 66 breaks down into five sections, each introduced by an exhortation or call. 1) Shout for joy (1-4)2) Come and see what God has done (5-7)3) Bless our God, O peoples (8-12)4) I will come into your house (13-15)5) Come and hear, all you who fear God (16-19)“Blessed be God” as closing exclamation.As we walk through each of these sections, I want you to pay special attention to what God has done, and the possible human responses that the psalmist considers. 1) Shout for joyThe psalm opens with a cascade of exhortations: Shout! Sing! Give Praise! Say to God! These exhortations are addressed to everyone (“all the earth”) and fills out the content of the praise. “Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds…All the earth worships you and sings praises to you.'” This is a triumphant note to begin the psalm, celebrating God's power and might. The word “awesome” in older translations is “terrible.” God's power produces fear and reverence in his people.Note that God's power is so great, that his enemies come cringing to him, like a dog that knows it's in trouble. This response is not the one that the psalmist is aiming at. He's after joyful praise and glorious worship. To come cringing is to come simply because God's power terrifies you. This is the sort of obedience that always looks for the exit, for the escape hatch. But it's important that we recognize it: it's possible to come to God, not because you've tasted his goodness and desire his holiness, but simply because you don't want him to crush you. The language here provokes a question: if God's power is so great that even his enemies come cringing, how will his friends come to him? What will their response be?2) Come and SeeHaving exhorted all the earth to shout joyfully and say to God, “How awesome are your deeds,” the psalmist now invites us to come and see these awesome deeds. And he has a particular story in mind: “He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, who rules by his might forever.” When the psalmist wants us to see the awesome and glorious and terrible deeds of God, he takes us back to Exodus, when God made a way for his people through the sea. And he takes us to Joshua, where God splits the Jordan River so that the armies of Israel pass over to take possession of the land. This reminds us of how important it is for us to know the stories of Scripture, to learn them by heart, so that we catch these allusions and references and can call to mind what the psalmist is doing. We won't say to God, “How awesome are your deeds,” if we don't have those deeds before our minds.So the psalmist invites us to remember the people of Israel, desperate at the Red Sea, with the armies of Pharaoh in pursuit, and then God parting the sea so that they pass through on dry land and then rejoice together at God's deliverance. If you need a refresh, I'd invite you to read and meditate on Exodus 14-15 this week, and then turn to Joshua 3-4 and behold God's awesome deeds at the Jordan River.But again, this section invites us to consider an alternative response: “let not the rebellious exalt themselves.” Now, if we're at the Red Sea, and you hear a reference to a self-exalting rebel, who do you think of? Pharaoh. In fact, both the stubborn self-exaltation and the cringing obedience likely refer to Pharaoh. Remember that during the plagues, Pharaoh would frequently relent and ask Moses for relief, promising that he would let the people go worship God. But as soon as the relief came, he hardened his heart and took it back. In other words, his obedience was a lying, cringing obedience until he could find the exit, until he thought God was no longer watching. So with Pharaoh in mind, we remember that God's awesome deeds don't merely bring salvation for his people; they bring destruction to his enemies. That's what Israel celebrates when they rejoice in Exodus 15: 1 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying,“I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.2 The LORD is my strength and my song,and he has become my salvation;this is my God, and I will praise him,my father's God, and I will exalt him.3 The LORD is a man of war;the LORD is his name.4 “Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.5 The floods covered them;they went down into the depths like a stone.6 Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power,your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.8 At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;the floods stood up in a heap;the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.'10 You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;they sank like lead in the mighty waters.11 “Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods?Who is like you, majestic in holiness,awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?12 You stretched out your right hand;the earth swallowed them.13 “You have led in your steadfast love the peoplewhom you have redeemed;you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.14 The peoples have heard; they tremble;pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.15 Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.16 Terror and dread fall upon them;because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,till your people, O LORD, pass by,till the people pass by whom you have purchased.17 You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode,the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.18 The LORD will reign forever and ever.” Come and see what God has done; he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. 3) Bless our GodThis section still has the nations in mind. “Bless the Lord, O peoples. The Lord keeps watch on the nations.” Now notice the reasons here. God has kept our soul among the living; he has not let our feet slip. In other words, “We're alive. We made it.” But then we get a surprise. Notice the word “for” in v. 10. Why should the peoples bless God? “For you, O God, have tested us.” Listen to the imagery for God's testing:You have tried us as silver is tried (that is: you melt us to the boiling point in order to remove the dross, the junk).You brought us into the net (that is: we're trapped).You laid a crushing burden on our backs (like Christian in Pilgrim's Progress).You let men ride over our heads (this image comes from battle with horses and chariots. If you're wounded in a battle, the horses and chariots just ride over you and crush you).We went through fire and through water (that is: we were burned and we almost drowned).I was trying to think of an image to help us get this, and I know that there are films that depict this sort of thing well. Like Dr. Leo Marvin in What About Bob? At the beginning of the film, he's put together and in command, and after Bob's awesome deeds, he's a wreck. That's the image we're looking at. I wonder if you feel the tension in this section. It's the tension between “You've not let our feet slip” and “You let men ride over our heads.” So picture this scenario. You've got a guy who is singed and soaking wet. He's bent over double with a burden on his back, and he has tire tracks on his face. He looks like he tried to rob Kevin Macalester's house at Christmas. This is Marv and Harry. Now imagine if that guy looked at you and said, “Praise God my feet didn't slip.” What do you mean? Your scalp was burned with a blow torch, you have a branded hand, your feet are bloody from nails and micro-machines, your face was smashed with a paint can and a hot iron. What do you mean your foot didn't slip?Here's what he means: he means he is more concerned about his sin than he is about his suffering. That's what “foot slipped” means here. “I didn't bow up. I didn't rebelliously exalt myself in the face of God's awesome deeds.” The psalmist's main concern is not the fire and the water and the battle and the net and burden and horses trampling him. His main concern is “Did I honor God? Did I remain faithful to God? Did God keep me faithful to God through the hardship and testing?” And he did. “Bless our God, O peoples, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.”4) I will come into your houseNow let's follow Marv here. Picture him limping, with missing teeth and a singed and smashed head. Where are you going, Marv? “I will go into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.”Here at this church, we know what this is. We've studied Leviticus. The burnt offering, the ascension offering, the offering of total surrender. “All of me, to all of you, O God.” That's where Marv is going. Because he made vows. When he was in trouble, when God was testing him, and he was trapped in the net and the men were riding over his head, he made a vow to God. “If you bring me through this – if you keep me alive and keep my feet from slipping – I will give all of me to you, O Lord. I will offer fattened animals, rams, bulls, and goats as an expression of my total surrender.”This is fundamentally different from cringing obedience. Cringing obedience comes when threatened, but is always looking for the way out. The psalmist desires to draw near to God, to dwell in his courts, to live in his house. As Pastor Mike showed us last week, “We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple” (65:4). 5) Come and HearNow let's finish the picture. Marv is limping, beaten, burdened, burned, snared, soaked, and smashed. And as he limps, he says, “Bless God. He did it. He tried me, and he kept me.” And then he goes to the altar, “All of me to all of you, O God, just like I promised.” And then he turns and looks at all of us, and says, “Anyone here fear God? Come and hear, you who fear God. I have something to say to you. I want to tell you what he's done for my soul.”Now notice the shift there. Earlier, it was corporate. It was about us. God kept our soul, and has not let our foot slip. He tested us, and tried us. But here, Marv gets personal. “Let me tell you what he did for me.”So you're looking at this guy with missing teeth and branded face, soaking wet, bent double, and bleeding, “Let me tell you what he has done for my soul…He heard me. He heard me! I cried to him with my mouth, and he heard me. When the horses were trampling me, his praise was on my tongue, and he heard me. When I went through the fire and water and called out to him, he heard me, and he answered me. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, if I had treasured my sin, he wouldn't have listened. But he kept my feet from slipping, and so he heard me. He attended to the voice of my prayers. He inclined his ear to me. The living God – majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, working wonders – surrounded by myriads of holy angels crying “Holy, Holy, Holy!, when I cried to him, he said, “Quiet! He needs me.”And this is what I want Cities Church to hear in my last sermon. I know that many of you are in the thick of it. You're being tested and tried. You're harried by day and haunted by night. Anxieties pile up in your soul, and you get stuck in your own head and can't find a way out. You're sad and frustrated that life isn't going the way you expected. The path before you is not the one you would have chosen. You're burdened; you feel overwhelmed, like it's all too much. Or you feel trapped and stuck, like there's no way out. Maybe there are people in your life who are punching you while you're down. There are men riding over your head and horses stomping you while you're wounded. Here's what you need to know.First, God is the one doing it. It's clear as day in 66:10-12. He did it. He tested us. He tried us. He brought us into the net. He put the burden on our backs. He let men ride over our heads. All of these trials and hardships and suffering are God's doing. They are his awesome deeds. There's no hint here of God's absence when the hardship comes. Don't try to get him off the hook. The sovereign and good purposes of God in these trials is part of the hope of this psalm, and of the whole Bible.Second, why is he doing it? Well, it's testing; he's trying you in the furnace of affliction. He's purifying your faith. To be more specific, he's brought you into trouble so that you will give him your all, so that you will offer yourself as a living sacrifice to him, holy and acceptable and pleasing in every respect. And so third, you have three options before you, three possible responses. You can come cringing; you can offer superficial obedience with your tail between your legs, and then bail when he sends relief. That's how his enemies respond when he shows his power. Or, you could rebel and exalt yourself. You can bow up and shake your fist at him, and harden your heart like Pharaoh. You can blame and accuse God of doing evil to you, and justify yourself in his sight. That's possible, in the face of his awesome deeds.Or, you can bless him. You can shout for joy to him. You can give him glorious praise and sing to him in worship. You can gladly surrender all that you have and all that you are to him, taking refuge in him, knowing that his steadfast love is better than life and that the goodness of his house is supremely satisfying. And as someone who has been there – who has been overwhelmed and distressed and oppressed and weary and terrified, I just want to tell you what he's done for my soul. “My head got crushed, but my feet didn't slip. I had a crushing burden on my back, but I didn't cherish iniquity in my heart. God did not reject my prayer or remove his steadfast love from me. He heard me. He truly listened to me. He answered me, and he kept me. Blessed be his name.” One final note as we come to the table: a few weeks ago, Pastor Jonathan taught us that, any time we read a psalm, we should ask three questions. We've answered two of them already: What does the text say? And how should I respond? But the third question is this: Where does the text show us Jesus?Jesus is speaking here. He is calling for us to join him in his joy, in singing the glory and praise of the God who does awesome deeds. He invites us to come and see what God has done, to consider not only the deliverance at the Red Sea, but the greater deliverance at Calvary. There we rejoice in God, who rules by his might forever. God tested and tried the Lord Jesus. He brought him into the net and delivered him into the hands of wicked men. He carried the crushing burden of sin and sorrow – plus a Roman cross — on his back. His own people and the nations of the world beat him and flogged him and kicked him while he was down. He passed through all manner of suffering, but his foot did not slip. After his death, his soul was found among the living, and God brought him into a place of abundance. And now he speaks to all of us and says, “All you who fear God, let me tell you what he has done for my soul. He heard me. He heard me every time I prayed. God heard me in the storm on the seas. He heard me at the tomb of Lazarus. He heard me in the Garden of Gethsemane, when I said, “Thy will be done.” He heard me on Golgotha's hill, when I cried out “It is finished,” and “Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit.” He heard me in Hades, and he heard me on Easter morning when I shook off the shackles of death. And he still hears me, when I intercede for you. I always live to make intercession for you.”And so, come and see, come and hear, come and taste what God has done. Come and welcome to Jesus Christ.

Sales is the art of receiving money in exchange for your goods and services. It's an energetic exchange between two people, and it can be beautiful. Here to prove that point are two highly opinionated, emotional women discussing The Walking Dead. This week, Annie P. is joined by a beloved sister in the ethical/heart-centered sales space, Sarah Walton. Unlike Annie, Sarah grew up loving the rush and competition of selling. (Annie made her grandma buy all her Girls Scout Cookies.) But - both sales strategists stand together in the undeniable truth that if you're running a business you must sell, and sell, and keep selling - but it should never require you to compromise your integrity or self-respect. Then, after swapping sales strategies, trips and tricks, the pair embark on a journey through Atlanta's favorite zombie apocalypse, The Walking Dead, which Sarah argues is "very, very entrepreneurial." *Parentpreneur advisory: this episode contains small amounts of colorful language.

[00:12:14] Women do "the invisible work" that makes the world work.  [00:17:23] Deep, heart-centered [self-] forgiveness work may be required. [00:23:02] What is the difference between ambition and scrappiness? [00:34:50] The Walking Dead is the ultimate gauntlet and very, very entrepreneurial. [00:39:08] Fast Forwarding Through The Gore of Entrepreneurship [00:47:18] Your homework is to brainstorm sales role models - and not the ones you think.  Wanna binge?
