You're listening to an iHeart podcast. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I collect my roommates toenails and fingernails. Those were some callers from my call in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take phone calls from anonymous strangers as a fake gecko therapist and try to learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept,

but I promise it's very interesting. Check it out for yourself by searching for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I want you to ask yourself right now, how am I actually doing? Because it's a question that we rarely ask ourselves. All of May is actually Mental Health Awareness Month,

and on the psychology of your 20s, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. I spent the majority of my teenage years, my 20s, just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live,

I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of your wellbeing. Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte?

Sarah Jessica Parker is here, and she is sharing stories from the very beginning, like the time she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. I remember some things about shooting the pilot. Right. I have some memories I can fill you in. And that you're going to fill me in. Yes, but then you forgot about it in the very long time they took to pick us up.

Listen to Are You a Charlotte? on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I think it's a sign of great mental health to acknowledge the dark wolf inside you. It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and on a recent episode of The One You Feed, Josh Radner from How I Met Your Mother joins us to talk about fame, self-acceptance, aging, and finding peace in discomfort.

That is the mercy of time. That time, it is a healer. To hear this and more on healing, identity, and the wisdom of slowing down, open your free iHeartRadio app, search one you feed, and listen now. Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show!

Tosh Show! Hey guys, guess what? It's time for a Tosh Show emergency pod. Eddie, hit the sirens. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr like the the Capital One guy. Yeah. I don't know. I just. Does look like that. He looks like a fucking idiot. I hate that guy. Big hands. No. What's that? He's got big hands. I don't give a shit if he's got big hands. Guys, this emergency pod is serious. Okay. Okay, we're talking NBA. So I put on a dumb jacket so I look like an

NBA draft pick. And now some people right now may go, oh I don't care about the NBA. Good. Turn this off. It's not for you. Nobody watches basketball. Fuck you. Everyone watches basketball. You don't watch basketball. I care about basketball. We're going to talk about basketball.

And if you haven't been watching this year's playoffs, you've missed out. All right. Um, Oh, by the way, congratulations to Dallas on winning the first rigged pick of the, the draft. Oh my goodness. You know who is that? That GM is like, oh, thank God. We can draft another white superstar

to lead the Mavericks for the next 20 years, or six years, and then fucking trade them to LA when the barbecue here in Dallas gets them all fat and doughy I can't believe they won by I do want to point out as a Miami Heat fan that had they not they were the 10 seed and Got their way into the playoffs through the stupid playing games to only get blown out by 70 each night in Cleveland They would have had that same probability the 11th seed and that would have been their first pick Hmm, but I'm sure Pat Riley saw that and realized that's not what we want to do. By the way

I don't know what you watch Ed the games on your YouTube TV, right? Yeah. Okay when it asked me Do you want to watch it on TNT or True TV? I'm like, what? Who in the fuck is picking True TV? The only people watching the playoffs on True TV are the impractical jokers. True TV is the first option. I scroll past it every single time. I don't know, are there different announcers?

I don't know, I've never done it either. Do they slime you? Is, ugh. Another thing that's really annoying me now, I'm glad that we have replay. Of course it should go faster. But knock it off with the players after every single foul going, Coach, I'm challenging you. I didn't touch him.

Shut the fuck up. You're a role player. It's the beginning of the first quarter. Nobody's challenging this play. Get back on defense. No one cares if you foul out. I didn't touch the ball last. Okay calm down. We'll review it if the play is important. If I was a coach and one of my players did this I would be like okay we have to bench you because you're dumb. You think we

don't understand? We have one job over here here It's to call timeouts and fucking review a few plays. All right Let's talk about Cleveland now leave it to Cleveland the most Cleveland thing in the world win games when they don't matter and then Shit the bed when it does, you know, you did the best regular season in franchise history Go ahead and shove that up your depressing ass By the way, when people talk about like Detroit being depressed, I'm like, are you kidding me? And I know it's, oh, it's almost hack talking about how awful Cleveland is, but you tell me,

oh, you can live in Gaza or Cleveland. I'm picking Gaza every time. Speaking of depressing, poor Boston. Hate him or really hate him? Watching Tatum go down, I was just hoping. I was like oh Please be another Paul Pierce shit in his pants scenario. There's carting you off cuz there's just shit everywhere But no no he's done. I have a theory that he wanted to leave And not be seen in that series because he was the only good

looking fella. If you look at both those teams, man are they ugly. Pop to bottom. I'm not talking about their play. Their play is great, but physically man they are all ugly. Carl Anthony Towns, his posture just walking around. His neck comes out the front of his torso. Jalen Brown's, his eyes are too close together. That seems weird. Thibodeau, his, you know, don't go after another man's hair when you yourself are balding. Well, you know, I, I did something about mine early on when it started to thin. I can't imagine if I had four hairs left.

Like, I'm gonna hang on to them and slick them back. That's so weird. Especially when you're a basketball coach where every angle that you're shot at is from above. Like, doesn't he watch some game tape and see himself occasionally go, Oh, that looks horrible. I should buzz my head.

What about Jalen Brunson? I mean, I Mr. Clutch, the guy physically looks like he should work security at the farmer's market. I've never once seen him crack a smile. Just constant. I'm like, bro, you're, you're making millions and millions of dollars. You're in New York city and you're the best player. Smile. Smile.

Nope. Guys got no soul whatsoever. Who are the other ugly people in that series? Physical. I'm just talking about physical appearances. I'm just cutting men apart. Derek White. Men being cruel to men.

Derek White? That's an odd look. Uh-uh. I don't know what's wrong with him. That lineage line looks like it's a little overlapping. Peyton Pritchard? Oh man. How neat to be sitting in section 350 and get your name called.

You're playing. What? I'll just live here in Boston. All right. Here I go. I mean, if you were to tell me that he is a world-class athlete, I would beg, no, not this guy. By the way, poor Zingus, rarely can you be a Latvian,

seven foot whatever, and be not the ugly duckling. Yeah. Somehow he looks like, oh, he looks OK. That just shows you what kind of monsters that you're surrounded by. And they show the celebrities and they're ugly. Even in New York. Supposed to be, supposed to be a glamorous city. I'm just looking at all these old Knicks players.

I'm looking at Spike Lee. Tracy Morgan's on, on the court side seat, just vomiting. What is happening? I mean, come on. Let's get some sex appeal in there, guys. That's what you do with your draft pick. You've clearly got a team that can play. Let's get some hunks on the court.

Oh, ah. I mean, I know, I'm a homer, but I long for a Dan Marley. Remember how good looking he was? Good looking guy. Oh, my goodness. I mean, I know I'm a Homer, but I long for a Dan Marley. Remember how good looking he was? Good looking guy. Oh my goodness. This was a nice tan on the court. Looking cool. Yeah.

Well, anyway, sorry to Boston. Uh, but you, you know, you want it all last year. Nobody feels me. I tell you this generation of people in Boston, you know, who are, are, are what you might call it guy, our buddy. Teamster. Our teamster president said it best is this generation of kids in Boston that grew up with nothing but winners. Yeah.

They have no idea how bad their parents had it. Minnesota golden state. This is tough to watch. What's the over under on if Draymond takes someone's life? This is why we got Jimmy Butler. For moments like this. They said this. They said this constantly when they were winning meaningless games at the end of the season. I mean, they weren't meaningless to them, but they weren't tough games.

This is why we got Jimmy Butler. And I'm like, guys, wait until he starts missing at the rim. It's so annoying. It's constant. I've watched it every play. Oh, he'll just miss buckets so close. No, not play off Jimmy. Play off Jimmy.

Is he helping you? Hmm. You know, they're not saying it now. They're not saying this is why we brought them here. Now that they, it's like, oh, well're not saying it now. They're not saying this is why we brought him here now that they just like oh well you Kind of need Steph. I mean listen injuries happen, of course, but you you beat the Warriors without Steph We're gonna put an asterisk next to it. That's like saying, you know in the 90s

Oh, we beat the Bulls you beat the Bulls with Jordan No, no, they you know that that year and a half period where he was playing T-ball because his dad's gambling problem. Oh, well, it's not really beating the Bulls, then is it? My point is, you're not beating the Warriors if Steph played every game. And finally, the OKC Denver. Oh, the Nuggets.

My favorite thing to watch at an OKC game when they're playing at home is if the team starts out cold and watching the fans get winded having to stand until their team makes the first bucket of the night and they can all sit down. It's actually nice that that team gives out t-shirts to everyone because Lord knows their fashion sense in Oklahoma. Oklahoma might be the only place where people are buying tickets to the game so that they get the t-shirt. I'm actually positive a lot of the people show up without a shirt on.

They're like, oh, we get a shirt when we get there. You know why they never do those give-outs in LA at a Lakers game? Because Laker fans aren't gonna put on a gross t-shirt. They're just, no one's gonna, oh you want me to put this thick beefy tee over my outfit? No, it's not gonna happen. That's, That's cute. I'll give it to my gardener. I'll let them wash the car with it. God help us if Denver makes it to the finals again. I know, Jokic is an amazing talent. Great, he's unwatchable.

Jokic might be the least entertaining athlete to watch in the history of athletes. It's like if you planted a tree in the middle of the court and waited for it to grow. And they're like, well, why don't we give that tree $51 million a year? I don't even know if he understands that he's getting paid that much money. Like you probably don't have to pay him. Maybe he thinks these are pickup games and just tons of people come to watch because it's the US of A.

Eddie, who you think is going to win the Larry O'Brien trophy? And I'll give you a million dollars if you can tell me who the fuck Larry O'Brien is. No, I don't even know. I don't get the connection. Oh, geez. All right. I have no idea. I have never, I've never wanted to know.

Well lucky for us, we only have four more weeks of NBA playoffs Least it's entertaining. Yep. We got four more weeks and then just MLB and WNBA and I'm sure I think the pickleball tour picks back up All right, give me the siren. Waw, waw, waw. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Here are some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko.
