Well, well, well, you’re back with us, you flop! JK, we’re here on this glorious Tuesday to talk about the wonderful world of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) and in true Jackie fashion, she tells too many stories of her time in the state hospital and prison system. Before they get into the drama mama, Kyle is tired of pornstaches (you don’t look good no matter what affirmations you tell yourself in the mirror) and Jackie is tired of small talk, mostly because she’s not good at it (is this surprising to anyone?). Jackie pops the corn and feeds the children and also brings them to school about everything NGRI. Don’t believe what you read, it’s A LOT harder to plead it than you think. Enjoy both Jackie and Kyle feeling triggered throughout the episode about everything they learned, or maybe didn’t learn in school. Before they wrap things up, they play another wonderful Spring/Easter Edition of Gay or Straight.

Don’t forget to connect with your two tired therapists through e-mail (twotiredtherapists@gmail.com), Instagram (@twotiredtherapists), and Facebook (Two Tired Therapists). Leave us a review and we might read it in future episodes (good and bad reviews welcome).
