Jesse should have to do the prayer in spanish while juggling and balancing a harmonica on his chin on mondays show.

I'd like to see Jesse mime the prayer while juggling harmonicas on the next show.

If somebody (like the bus driver) kills people with his reckless driving, he should be put under control. All that bile has to mean something's wrong in your head.

I highly recommend husband makes an appointment for wife and himself like Chemda said, but I recommend going to a social worker. I must mention that yes I am biased because I am going through a masters program for social work; however, I have had experience with going to different therapists in my life and these are my reasons for going to a social worker rather than a therapist*:
1. social worker focuses more on empowering the client rather than judging
2. she is in a state of crisis right now and definitly needs that state resolved before she can move on, a social worker can help with finding different programs that can assist her, other therapists don't really do that, they will give you strategies yes, but social workers have access to actual progrmas they can recommend, even down to finding people to help the wife manage the estate, financial, and can probably recommend a pyschiatrist that will help find the right medication for her if she ends up needing it, rather than going to a random psychiatrist who will only throw pills at her.
3. social workers do not make automatic judgements. at least they are not supposed to, it is part of the code of ethics that they have to take in order to get their license
4. they do not force goals on the clients, they let the clients tell them where they would like to start. their main focus is to start where the client is at and to help the client eventually get to a state in which they can start making changes and see a light at the end of the tunnel
5. Social workers are more likely to focus on the myriad of problems that the client is going through rather than just one at a time, like many therapists tend to do. For example, many would likely want to focus on her mental state only rather than the other phsycial, such as her diabetes, pressures from work and the debt etc.

Also, being a diabetic myself, her sugars are likely out of control as well as the rest of her hormones, especially since she is so stressed. If she can get to a more stable state which hopefully a social worker or therapist will be able to help with, she can get her sugars under control and be able to focus on dealing with her life. I have had many times where I have to completly stop whatever I'm doing to focus on trying to get my blood sugars under control, especially if they are low, because when they are not stable, you just can't focus on what you need to because you are either shaky, irritable, about to pass out, having to pee all the time, have a headache, throat ache, body aches and general ill feeling, because your blood sugars are completly out of whack. It makes you feel even more helpless and I think that if she is able to get her blood sugars under control, which hopefully going to therapy will help with her current stress levels, then everything else will hopefully start to calm down and allow her to reach the state where she feels like she can begin to move on.

I do want to mention that it will probably be a good idea for the husband to go to therapy as well as he is under a lot of stress right now in trying to help his wife. Whether it is with her or separately, it will be a good idea for him to have an outlet for him to express what he is worried, stressed, or even depressed about, since his wife is not in a state where he can really express that.

I wish them the best of luck.

*I do feel the need to state that although I am in the MSW program, I am NOT a licensed social worker or therapist. I am only expressing what I have learned so far and therefore everything must be taken with a grain of salt. For more info on social workers and to find one in your area if you are interested, I highly recommend going to National Association of Social Workers.

That Dina text story was pretty funny; I’d love to have seen her reaction when she saw it. I can imagine she’s like ‘Ah fuck, what’s this shit?’.

Something similar happened to me recently, I was sending a dirty text and I sent it to the wrong person. Clicked on the name just below my boyfriend and ended up sending it an old school friend. I didn’t even realise until I got a reply from him. I was pretty embarrassed but luckily I don’t see this guy very often so hopefully he’ll have forgotten about it by the next time I see him…

On the reading texts issue: In high school my friends and I would read each other’s texts, mostly to show off whatever dumb texts a boy had sent us. Nowadays I wouldn’t like anyone reading my texts unless they asked. However, I don’t think it’s out of line for a boyfriend/girlfriend to be curious about text messages if you’re giggling about something right next to them, not to mention it’s pretty rude if it’s continual thing. I don’t think it’s an immature or jealously thing, more simple curiosity about who your significant other is interacting with. It’s different if it’s a constant wanting to read all your texts but otherwise it should be cool. In fact if a girl/guy was giggling and texting someone in front of a boyfriend/girlfriend who didn’t at any point question what was so funny I’d wonder why they didn’t seem to care… just my 2 cents.

Dina is much less harsh than she seems (which is still more harsher than a lot of "non-Dinas around. I think she even blushed and giggled for a bit.

BTW am i the only one who loved her Tesla/Pinto story in the last friday show. Laughed my ass off.

The text mess up happened me a couple of times. Once i send a dirty text to an ex girlfriend instead of the one i was dating. When i met her, my ex answered me back in a half insulting/half suggestive manner. The girl i was dating was the kind of person who wants to know what texts i receive (the fact i started giggling like a mongoloid didnt help).

That started a long awkward, unsuccesful explanation. And a drunken night.

This was a really funny show. Sometimes non-regular guests just get in the way and dilute the show; K&C alone are great, and I'd like to hear more of those sorts of shows. Though not at the expense of any Jesse Joyce or Patrice shows. Or Myq and Myka shows. Or ones with Brother Love. Or Ray shows! Goddammit, there are too many good guests.

Yep, i love their "no guest shows". Their magically messed up chemistry still has me in stitches. I love them both.

And their true power is when they turn a so-so guest into fodder for golden podcasting (see Ryan or danny's latest shows).

But the guests, lately, are sooooo good.
