Chapter 1: What made 2023 a challenging year?
Solving your problems with the famous person on the couch.
He slayed and he shook It's Therapist, Therapist, Therapist, Therapist With me, Jake Shane Hi pussies and welcome back to Therapist And the final Therapist episode of 2024 I guess Therapist has only ever aired in 2024 So I guess this is I guess that doesn't really make my first statement different at all But it is the 50th episode. We did 50 sessions of Therapist in 2024.
This year literally changed my life. I thought my life – after 2023, I thought my life would never get better. And I thought like I had hit my stride and it was only down from there. And then this podcast and You Pussies like really – changed my entire life. You changed my year. You changed my perspective on work. You changed my perspective on comedy, on literally everything.
Um, so I just, I owe it all to you guys. I love you guys so much. Thank you for watching. Every session, every week, being in the chat with me, all your feedback, just everything. Thank you for the support. Thank you for everything. I started 2024 a fucking stoner and I'm ending on the longest break I've had from weed probably since I've become one, a stoner. What day am I on now?
I'll tell you right now. Okay, so I am on 14 days on December 13th. That was day 14. 14 on December 13th. Hold on. 15, 16, 17, 18. Oh my God. Today is my, well, I guess Nolan just said it. Today is my 20th day without weed. I am so much more alert. I am, it's very, it's much easier for me to wake up in the morning. I'm remembering things. My workouts are easier. I'm happier. I'm less anxious.
I'm still anxious, but I'm far less anxious than I was. But the devil is tempting me.
because for those who don't know my favorite strand of weed is this um brand called candescence it was like it was just like i would call it like bougie weed like it like was packaged all nice and stuff um they had like different types of like weed packaging or weed like they would have a strand called create so i would smoke that every time i wanted to like be creative a strand called calm a strand called cruise which i would smoke whenever i was hung over um
It was just – it was my favorite brand of weed and they went out of business. And they just recently went back into business. And, like, the FaceTime I got from my friend, the camera was flipped on it. My jaw, you guys, hit the fucking floor. Like, I – I'm really trying to hold out for, like, at least the rest of the month. I'm really, really trying. I miss it so much, though.

Chapter 2: How did the podcast change Jake's perspective?
But, like, I really don't miss how – like shitty I felt sometimes I just felt very like lazy and I don't know but I I miss it as Taylor Swift says you don't oh wait I can do it with a broken heart I can do it with a broken heart just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it like she does say I can do it with a broken heart but that has nothing to do with my weed journey
But I appreciate the effort, Nolan. That was really sweet. Thank you. God, what happened this year? See, that's what I'm saying. Had I not smoked as much as I did, I'd remember more. I released Puss in Poems. I finished season one of Therapus. I finished my first nationwide tour. Wow, I did a lot of shit this year. I don't really have any other updates for you guys. I'm watching...
Um, this show on Netflix called, can you fact check me? It's called La Palma or Las Palmas. It's the number La Palma. So I was right the first time. Cool. It's La Palma. And, like, what I like about La Palma, it's in, like, is that it's a Norwegian show, but it's in, like, a bunch of different languages. It's in Norwegian. It's in Spanish. It's in English. Like, it's dope.
Like, I love shows like that. There was this show called 1899, which is by the creators of Dark, which, if you know, you fucking know is my favorite show of all time. And I hated that. I hated that. It also reminds – which is similar to the show 1899, which, if you know, is by the producers and creators of Dark, which is my favorite show of all time.
And 1899 also had, like, multiple languages in the same show, which was super cool. Should we just keep both of those in? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Cool. I thought it would be lovely to end 2024 on our first best friend episode of the season. But Jules is back. My best friend, my girl. We had so much fun shooting this episode. We laughed so hard.
We decided we'd like bring in our list of our like favorite moments of 2024. So that's what we did. And I think you guys would really going to like it. We obviously talked a lot about Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande. Wicked, all of it. Yeah, so happy Junday. Happy final Junday of 2024 and enjoy the episode. I'll see you guys in 2025. Love you, pussies.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, when she, it's like the tape and like the daughter's like filming all of them and that was like the whole thing.

Chapter 5: What shows and movies impacted their year?
Yeah.
Off the coast of Miami. I am drunk. I am free. Suddenly, a group of men motion to us, me and my friend, to join them on their golf cart. We fly across the island. It is magical. I begin kissing who is ever next to me. I do not know this person, nor do I care. This is the life. This is the dream. I am unstoppable. Suddenly, we take a rather drastic turn. The golf cart flips over.
Everyone manages to wiggle out. Where's Layla? My best friend asks. I am not there. I'm beneath the golf cart. Trapped. They lift the golf cart off of me. I am not there. My collarbone is broken along with a list of other injuries. A pack of wild dogs approaches and pulls at my hair and tries to bite me. There is no hospital on the island. Only a clinic.
I am rushed there by a group who escapes the pack of dogs. A doctor walks in. He is maybe 20 years old. He is wearing Jordans. He raps... This is really good. He wraps a bed sheet around me and tells me to wait for the nurse. I am slipping in and out of consciousness. The room is full of people I know. The nurse enters.
When she sees my eyes closing, she reaches over and twists my nipple to keep me from fainting. Everyone sees my nipple. I am covered in blood, and she continues twisting my nipple to keep me awake. They have no medicine. I am given two Advil. She continues to twist my nipple, and I fight with all my might to stay awake. Oh, my God. I am told I will need to be airlifted off the island to Miami.
My best friend is with me. To get to the charter plane, we have to take a boat. I'm hunched over with blood all over me. This is...
Insane.
And a bed sheet holding my collarbone together. When we arrived to the charter plane, I see a group of kids hanging out in the waiting area. One of them is Alex Earl. They ask if I'm okay and I tell them no. I hit Alex Earl's friend's dab pen. I sit in the corner with my friend and watch Alex Earl and her friends literally as I am covered in blood. My best friend and I board the charter plane.
The pilot has to help me since I cannot climb. As he is buckling my seatbelt, he elbows me in the face. Oh my God, Layla is not okay. When we reach the Miami airport, people are concerned. They think we are escaping a third world country. Random families in the airport approach us offering us cash and Advil. Cash and Advil? My best friend carries our belongings since I am useless.
