I am special but you are not 😈

finally started listening to the first episode of @yoyopodcast.bsky.social and fuck me if it didn't hit me like a ton of bricks in the car hearing the advice to asj yourself when you're apologizing whether you are afraid of taking to space and whether you're actually trying to say thank you.

Episode 3 of @yoyopodcast.bsky.social has the show settling into its groove, an instant classic Andy deep dive and top notch production (chilling silence to end the ep) m.soundcloud.com/youre-on-you...

The @yoyopodcast.bsky.social podcast rules. You just never know what they’re gonna talk about, but it’s hosted by two great storytellers so it’s always good.

listening to the new @yoyopodcast.bsky.social on the challenger while reading through today’s inquirer and

New episode here. This one’s about the guys who tried to stop the Challenger explosion the night before. on.soundcloud.com/3RBo8BKfeqPS...

Take 2 while I listened.

This was a tough one because I don't feel like I Get Mad (on a personal level, anyway) very often but I am coming to realize that it's more like I rarely recognize an emotion as being anger in the first place, which, it turns out, is not the same thing.

@yoyopodcast.bsky.social loved your beautiful episode on anger. Hugs to you both

And I just dropped some @yoyopodcast.bsky.social knowledge on my wife about apologies to help deal with her dad

can tell i’m gonna have to relisten to this @yoyopodcast.bsky.social when I’m not about to go to a dinner party, but I promise many listeners who relate can make good use of this #doingTheWork

Home with family for the holidays and thinking about the @yoyopodcast.bsky.social episode about anger for no particular reason

@yoyopodcast.bsky.social You lovable chumps really hammered home one of the worst parts (for me) of trying to cure yourself of the anger issues that your upbringing WOVE into your goddamned fabric: realizing the fucking INDIGNITY of the anger. What a fucking dope they made you. And here you are.

Not sure if this was the goal for the new pod but if you were trying to create an opposing model to combat toxic masculinity, this is a good place to start

I came to hear these two bozos dunk on people but instead had some sort of helpful catharsis??

A bit late to this, and it was excellent, but it did leave me with a singular question - did Andy judo flip his elderly mom to assert dominance?

This shit kinda caught me off guard with how sincere and earnest it was. These fellas are great and I don't hold their life choices against them (lawyers).

I started with their last episode, on anger, and it completely blindsided me by how real it was from the jump lmao. It was so good, I have a whole thread or essay it made me wanna write

This is excellent and a balm for anyone who may be going through it over the holidays

The premise of the show is basically that two smart, funny and compassionate men articulate things you already know but sometimes need to hear from someone else. By turns sobering, reassuring and deeply moving. Hard recommend all four episodes so far. (This is the second; the numbering is chaotic.)

As something of an angry fucker living in his own proverbial 6x6 windowless room, it's hard to express how badly I needed to hear this, really started tearing up towards the end.

The only podcast ep ive ever had to pause and come back to when I was actually paying attention.

This was excellent and meant a lot to me. Very relatable stuff wrt being raised by angry parents. Tarik's bit about feeling like your entire emotional life has been spent in a windowless 6'x6' room hit incredibly close to home.

corny for a podcast episode to help you understand something about yourself that you’ve never quite understood but yeah

I don't know how to express how much I like this podcast without resorting to what sounds like NYT bestseller cover quotes, it's really refreshing hearing something this earnest and open. It gave me a real "I didn't know how much I needed this" moment.

This sent shockwaves through me and reached parts of me that I’ve been hiding from for way too long

this ep hit really close to home for me, just because some of @wyattprivilege.bsky.social 's experience of parental rage felt very similar to those in my own home. a very tough but meaningful ep that had me in a bit of tears at some points for how relatable their conversation was.

Reminder to steal your families’ phones over the holiday and subscribe them to this podcast as a passive aggressive way of telling them to fix their attitude 🙏❤️🎄

Just finished the latest episode of @yoyopodcast.bsky.social and it's worth a listen. I grew up in an angry household, too, and it wasn't until I started working in human services and received training on trauma theory that I was able to identify my maladaptive coping mechanisms and shut them down.

Hearing these fellas talk it out on each episode of this podcast thus far has been so interesting. I’ve cycled through sympathy, shame, and regret among other things. This is some great work. Also I think @wyattprivilege.bsky.social may have the exact same personality characteristics I have lol

Insanely real episode. Had a bit of a moment listening to this one and it sucked but, was kind of good to realize there’s still a lot of work to do and that change is always on the table.

“And the one thing that [different kinds of coping mechanisms] seem to all have in common is that they suck shit. They all suck real bad.” “Yes.” “I haven't seen a one that's good.” “No.”

If you haven't already listened to this episode, you should. It's really good. We could all learn from it. Apologies are hard for many reasons and this is a really thoughtful analysis.

You earnest motherfuckers (great episode)

Men will literally start a third podcast rather than go to therapy

@wyattprivilege.bsky.social’s turn to hit us with a pithy late-episode heater on @yoyopodcast.bsky.social this time: “It can be water under the bridge if there’s a fucking bridge.” I won’t be forgetting that, and I doubt many other listeners will forget it either.

something about having the bridge or infrastructure to move past things resonated deeply with me, great ep

I joked before about thanking him for making me trans but goddamn

Tarik talking at the beginning reminds me so much of my life before transition, holy shit

Please don't put in the newspaper that we got mad soundcloud.com/youre-on-you...

Really liked this ep but more broadly, enjoying a podcast about how to actually navigate humanity's weak points instead of pretending that it's only awesome all the time bc of your unique smarts and world view.

I need a patreon for this like I need air to breathe. I have like $5/month burning a hole in my pocket

I think this project is super worthwhile and I'm glad to see people working on stuff to try and make things better in a sort of, personal, spiritual sense. Especially in a way that's not... you know, obnoxious.

the fellas over at @yoyopodcast.bsky.social have made something truly special and touching, always jazzed to hear more from @helldude.bsky.social & @wyattprivilege.bsky.social

Just listened to and loved the moving, thoughtful, insightful recent episode of @yoyopodcast.bsky.social and it’s very good to see @wyattprivilege.bsky.social still has that dawg in him even though he has grown, changed, and done the work
