  • The One About... Borderline Personality Disorder
    Jul 30 2024

    In this episode, Jay (The Angry Ginger) shares his struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder. His struggles with being a father of two daughters diagnosed with BPD. He feels guilty for potentially being part of the cause. He shares his struggles with trying to reach out to one of his daughters and the rippling effect that this disorder can have on the entire family.

    Grant relates from being misdiagnosed as Bipolar for many years and how his depression has caused him to not always see the true reality of things but what he made up in his head for a multitude of reasons.

    Trigger Warning: There are comments made about suicide. Thoughts of how and why from both a time of being young and misunderstood and from being older and wiser and how outlooks have changed.

    Also, Grant attempts to travel down a road to LOSERVILLE where apparently he beleives Jay has residual fear from the past of where he swears Jay once resided... but trust me when I tell you that he was misinformed.

    Thank you so much for listening! We would both appreciate it if you could help spread the word about this podcast. Tell your friends, your enemies, share it on the socials with both!

    We are coming up to the end of the season. I'm shooting for 4 more episodes but it's looking like 2 more for sure. Stay subscribed and we'll keep making them!

  • The One About... Lost Conversations On The Cutting Room Floor (Bonus Stuff)
    Jul 15 2024

    This week your favorite mentally challanged mental health advocates return to share their thoughts on clips that didn't make thier original episodes. These are conversations that maybe didn't fit the theme of the episode preveiously released or maybe they just needed to be cut for time... but Jay (The Angry One) deemed that they were still worthy of airtime!

    Grant didn't have much say except for what he originally had to say during the time of recording!

    Without further ado, press play and hear Grant and Jay take you on a trip down the cutting room floor's memory lane!

    In this episode:

    Jay gets called out for having a bit of preshow attitude toward his girlfriend when she presents a last minute tree removal need before pressing record. Grant can't help but make commentary and Jay thinks he's imagining things.

    Jay has some beef with the way Grant always presents the ugly truth (and ugliness) of his past relationships. Grant sticks by what he says, except for the time he said nothing. Shockingly he has plenty to say now.

    Grant struggles with a new perscripton and how it effects him. Jay questions whether our friendship would have made it through a one year rental agreement.

    Grant struggles to have a good manly cry and Jay struggles to remember when the last time it was that he actually had one.

    Thank you to everyone who patiently waits for us to release episodes of On Hiatus. Like Grant says, we are only Off Hiatus when we aren't On Hiatus!

    Please feel free to reach out to us on the socials or email the show and let us know if you are enjoying this season. It would mean the world to us to hear from you!!!
