  • Outcome Oriented
    Nov 10 2025

    Tonight, we're unleashing Outcome Oriented (OO)—the black-ops tactic for infiltrating your client's antisocial chaos by mirroring their warped worldview with Theory of Mind (ToM), snagging permission for feedback, and hijacking their perspective to steer toward prosocial wins without ego implosion. Decode madness, weaponize trust, and sabotage failure: therapy's ultimate reroute from slammer-bound to success.

  • Confronting Countertransference
    Aug 18 2025

    Tonight, we’re diving into every clinician’s guilty secret: countertransference—that cocktail of disgust, anger, or eye-rolls that show up when your client’s Dark Triad vibes (psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellian scheming) hit a little too close to home.

    Instead of pretending we’re made of stone, we’ll show you how to spot those reactions, keep them from wrecking your credibility, and flip the moment into a process-driven confrontation that actually sticks.

    It’s therapy judo: using your own emotional reactions as leverage instead of letting them choke you out.

  • Man vs. Beast II
    Jul 29 2025

    In this sequel to our “Man vs. Beast” episode, we answer the internet’s burning question: Could 100 unarmed men defeat a silverback gorilla? Turns out—yeah, they actually could. And that revelation cracks open a deeper psychological truth.

    Jeff and Mace break down the clash between Dunning–Kruger delusion and Impostor Syndrome paralysis—why the least capable people overestimate themselves, while high performers secretly feel like frauds. It’s a full-force takedown of self-perception, backed by real research, wild survey data, and at least one fake commercial you’ll wish was real.

    If you laughed, learned, or questioned your own grip on reality, smash that five-star rating and share this episode with the most overconfident or self-doubting person you know.

  • Trigger Happy, Zipper Shy
    Jul 7 2025

    Tonight we’re rewinding the VHS of pop culture to ask one simple question: Whatever happened to all the boobs? In the 1980s and early ’90s, R-rated flicks were basically a wet-T-shirt contest with a plot: think Porky’s meets Friday the 13th with bonus saxophone music. Fast-forward to the 2000s and suddenly the MPAA slaps you with an NC-17 if a naked ankle lingers too long—but show a dude getting pencil-stabbed in the eyeball and you’re coasting into PG-13 territory. We’ll break down:

    • Why the ratings board will karate-kick a nipple off the screen but high-five a headshot.
    • How global markets said “no thanks” to nudity but “yes please” to neck snapping.
    • The rise of prestige TV—where dragons, teen angst, and full-frontal somehow coexist.
    • Whether the pendulum could swing back, or if Hollywood is permanently stuck in “From Breasts to Blood” mode.

    All of it sprinkled with real research (shout-out to Brown & Childers, Thompson & Yokota, Ward, and the rest of the citation squad) so you can cite something besides your uncle’s Blockbuster memories.

  • Hot for Teacher?
    Jun 18 2025

    This week, we’re diving into a topic that lights up headlines and online comment sections like a Molotov cocktail at a PTA meeting: the female teacher–male student “affair.” You know the story—attractive thirty-something educator, underaged male student, and a society that somehow treats it like a subplot in a teen comedy instead of a felony. But we’re not just here for the tabloid trash—we’re also unpacking some real data. We reviewed a research article exploring how gender affects public perceptions of culpability and victimhood in student-teacher sexual relationships.

  • Cadaver Castration
    Jun 2 2025

    This week, we’re heading to the Lone Star State for a story that puts the “fun” in “funeral” and the “what the actual hell” in “criminal justice.” A Texas embalmer allegedly took anatomical revenge on a dead sex offender—and let’s just say, the body wasn’t the only thing getting stiff that day. It’s a tale of postmortem payback, questionable ethics, and the kind of crime scene that makes even seasoned detectives say, “You know what? I’m good.” Grab your gloves—we’re going elbow-deep into this one.

  • Blurred Lines: When Consent and Confidentiality Collide
    Mar 10 2025

    In this week's episode, we're diving headfirst into the tangled web of ethics, privacy, and professional boundaries—where the stakes are high, and one slip can unravel a whole treatment plan. We're exploring the delicate dance of maintaining informed consent and confidentiality when working with adults and juveniles who've committed a sexual offense. It's a world where secrets, trust, and legal landmines collide—and navigating it requires more precision than defusing a bomb with a blindfold on. Buckle up, because this one's equal parts nerve-wracking and enlightening.
