Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I don't think anybody here has actually been to a
- 0:01Speaker 1: therapist before, even though, let's face it, we all probably.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Need well, everyone needs it especially.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a proud thing.
- 0:11Speaker 1: But you know, from what I've seen on TV and
- 0:14Speaker 1: in movies, it's a very long, complicated process where they
- 0:17Speaker 1: ask you lots of subtle questions to find the deeper
- 0:21Speaker 1: you and get in touch with your inner feelings. Well,
- 0:24Speaker 1: today we're just gonna skip all that boring stuff when
- 0:27Speaker 1: we call a guy and get right down to it
- 0:29Speaker 1: and ask why do you think you're such a hot mess?
- 0:31Speaker 1: And nobody that's how they should do it. We're gonna
- 0:36Speaker 1: give it a try. In your phone tap right now,
- 0:38Speaker 1: it's another.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Twenties Hello, Hi, this is Kathy Turner from Health Therapy.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Is this Pete?
- 0:48Speaker 3: It is he help you?
- 0:50Speaker 2: Hi? Pete? It looks like your wife, Samantha set you
- 0:52Speaker 2: up for a session with us. That's exciting.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she's she's into the full therapy thing. I've
- 0:59Speaker 3: never tried to before.
- 1:00Speaker 2: But right, yeah, are you nervous?
- 1:03Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't have any kind of
- 1:06Speaker 3: crazy issues going on, but I'm stressed a little bit. Right.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Nobody thinks they need it till they get punched in
- 1:12Speaker 2: the mouth. Then all of a sudden, plans go out
- 1:14Speaker 2: the window.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Huh wait, I'm sorry what.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Oh, that's just a Mike Tyson quote.
- 1:20Speaker 3: You wait, your quote, Mike Tyson. And you're a therapist's office.
- 1:24Speaker 2: If we have to, yeah, if we have to. So
- 1:28Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a little homework to do
- 1:30Speaker 2: before the therapy session. Okay, could you take out a
- 1:34Speaker 2: pen and paper for me? And I just want you
- 1:36Speaker 2: to try to answer this question, why do so many
- 1:39Speaker 2: people hate me?
- 1:41Speaker 3: Wait?
- 1:42Speaker 2: What is that hard for you to hear? It's just
- 1:46Speaker 2: a simple question.
- 1:48Speaker 3: It's a weird question. I don't feel like I don't
- 1:50Speaker 3: feel like people hate me. I'm being honest.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm just making a note to your strong denial.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Wait. Interesting, it's not the Nile. Don't write that down.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I'm being honest. I'm people don't hate me.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Why don't we compromise, Pete? Why don't we do this?
- 2:07Speaker 2: How about you talk to five co workers and find
- 2:10Speaker 2: out why they think you're an apphole?
- 2:14Speaker 3: Are you getting curious right now?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Yeah? Truth hurts. That's from Lizzo.
- 2:21Speaker 3: I'm not okay. I don't see how this is helpful
- 2:24Speaker 3: at all. Isn't therapy about helping the person become a
- 2:28Speaker 3: better self. I'm not gonna what you want me to
- 2:31Speaker 3: walk around asking people if they think I'm an asshole?
- 2:33Speaker 2: Ding ding ding ding ding ding, Pete. Yes, we all
- 2:37Speaker 2: need to start somewhere. And so if you really don't
- 2:39Speaker 2: feel comfortable with those options, yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't feel comfortable with those options.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I hear you. I hear you. Now, I'm just going
- 2:47Speaker 2: to ask you to do something a little bit easier,
- 2:50Speaker 2: more on your level. I'm not could you call your
- 2:52Speaker 2: mother and find out why she loves your older brother
- 2:54Speaker 2: more than you?
- 2:55Speaker 3: And you know what? Okay, I am sick of you
- 2:59Speaker 3: insinuate that I'm some kind of a bad person.
- 3:02Speaker 2: My sense that you're frustrated? Am I sensing that? Right?
- 3:05Speaker 3: Really? Janius, do you hear my frustration?
- 3:08Speaker 2: We're going to take a deep breath together, Pete. We're
- 3:10Speaker 2: going to take a deep breath right now.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not taking any kind of a deep breath.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And then we're gonna pivot. Okay, we're gonna pivot to
- 3:18Speaker 2: an easier question. Could you talk.
- 3:20Speaker 3: About I'm pivoting to hanging up?
- 3:22Speaker 2: You just tell me why you think your mother in
- 3:24Speaker 2: law is an apphole.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Where are you pulling this from. I love my mother
- 3:29Speaker 3: in law, my mother. Wait that down. My mother in
- 3:31Speaker 3: law is actually an incredibly nice, sweet person.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Okay, but that's not helpful for this exercise. Let's just
- 3:38Speaker 2: say your mother in law heard you were going to
- 3:40Speaker 2: a therapy session and she reached out to someone else like,
- 3:44Speaker 2: I don't know a radio station about it.
- 3:46Speaker 3: What are you even talking about? You're making no sense.
- 3:49Speaker 3: What do you mean radio station?
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yes, let's just say your mother in law reached out
- 3:53Speaker 2: to Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and said, I
- 3:55Speaker 2: want to do a prank phone call on my son
- 3:57Speaker 2: in law Pete because he doesn't believe therapy is helpful.
- 4:00Speaker 2: How does that make you feel, a peach?
- 4:03Speaker 3: I'm confused. I don't know what you're talking about. What
- 4:05Speaker 3: do you need? Mother in law?
- 4:07Speaker 2: What confusion makes sense? Because this is actually brought for
- 4:10Speaker 2: the radio station Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. We're
- 4:12Speaker 2: doing a phone tap on you. Wait, shut up what
- 4:17Speaker 2: I'm not a therapist. I probably need therapy, but no,
- 4:20Speaker 2: your mother in law set you up.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Oh my god, I feel creature. I'm sorry.
- 4:28Speaker 2: She actually wanted to say she's proud of you for going,
- 4:31Speaker 2: and then everybody needs it and it's gonna be helpful
- 4:34Speaker 2: and to have a positive attitude.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well after this call, I think I'm gonna
- 4:39Speaker 3: need therapy.
- 4:40Speaker 2: You wouldn't be the first person that we called that
- 4:41Speaker 2: said that wake up every morning was phone tap weekday
- 4:48Speaker 2: mornings on the twenties, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
