If you’re in the market for a therapist try asking them if they’d be okay with a Bravo crew sittin’ in on a sesh and if they say yes, keep looking

Any time I see a therapy session on some dumbass reality show I think Oh what a shitty therapist for agreeing to do this

I have never watched this show and I know I lot of people who like it but I could never shake the idea that cameras at therapy makes the therapy not fully real or effective?

Oh yeah I think I read about this being a possibility in DUH DOY Magazine

My wife and I had couples therapy on TV. It nearly wrecked our marriage

After Jessica and I received expert counselling from the hit show Couples Therapy, I became public enemy number one. Here’s what didn’t make it to the screen

Hmm. I suspect you expect a witty riposte. However, you will find, sir, that I am above that. just kidding shut da FUCK up

Just say nowadays. Use the real words that we all know to reinforce our shared understanding, instead of signaling that you're part of a specific ingroup. Because that's fine for a marginalized group to make their space, but when you're part of the dominant demographic, it's just self-indulgent.

Was gonna watch a YouTube video called "Anchors don't work the way you think," but then I realized I'm happier in my ignorance than I'd ever be if I knew the truth.

Legendary interview moment with the director of Morbius about Jared Leto’s behavior on the set of Morbius

uproxx.com/movies/morbi...

I heard a story about filming and I want to see if this is true. Someone told me that Jared Leto was so committed to playing Michael Morbius that even when he had to go to the bathroom, he would use his crutches and slowly limp to get to the bathroom. But it was taking so long between for pee breaks, that a deal was made with him to get him a wheelchair so someone could wheel him there quicker and he agreed to that. Is this true?

Yes.
