Positively Terrible

Terrible Scott here. I haven't been posting on social media of late, but know that we have continued to post episodes almost every week. Our first anniversary was on 5/4, and we've released 49 episodes in that time. That's pretty fu***ng cool.

May is mental health month, so I guess it's time to admit that I'm tired. It's approaching 3 years since the incident that inspired the podcast, and my life has continued to change. The Scott who sent these messages died that night, and a different, stronger Scott was born.

I know I'm stronger because I'm still here, but I'm still looking to find my footing. I'm still looking to find out who this new Scott is and what he wants. All I know at this point is that I'm proud of this podcast and that great things are coming my way.

I haven't been able to look at these texts since the night this conversation happened, but it's time to take another step forward. This is part of my liberation. It's part of my rebirth. It was literally my second chance.

Thank you so much for listening to us for the first year. I'm going to resume posting on social media in the coming days, so expect to see more activity here. I'll include clips from some of our favorite episodes, and promote some episodes that i didn't during my social media hiatus.

Thank you so much for supporting us. The story behind these text messages is episode 1: Wanna Hear a Fu**ed up Story. You can find it wherever you get podcasts.

Bo was feeling himself today so we did a photoshoot.

Not the venn diagram I expected to see today.

Not to be like a 13 year old who just discovered music and the Internet, but somehow I never noticed the lyrics were about masking until today despite listening to it pretty much every day. Seems like maybe the name of the song should have been my first hint. 🤣🤣🤣

The cruel irony of coffee is you have to make it before you've had your first cup.

Also don't judge the color. I poured that pot out and started over because apparently today is going to be a struggle.

We LOVE to laugh with our guests, and we laughed with Jackie a lot. My favorite story was about a drunken trip to the liquor store in the middle of the night on horseback.

Terrible Listeners, let's send love, prayers, thoughts, and vibes to in her recovery. It sounds like her recent surgery was for the best and will only make her life better. Given what she went through, I have little doubt she'll be wowing her doctors like she wowed and me last August.

True story. I frequently doubt my ADHD diagnosis was correct, but then...
