I Got A Sticker- What Now?

So you have a sticker that says Badinia.com, and it led you here. Maybe you found it at a bus stop. Maybe it was slipped between the pages of a poorly-reviewed sexy vampire book. Maybe you went to a comedy show and a slightly unhinged person forced it into your hands, and you took it because it was shiny. What happens now?

This is your introduction to the world of comedian Virginia Jones. Welcome. You can do anything here- or rather, anything she wants you to do. You can look at a map of everywhere she’s ever performed comedy. You can listen to her album, Gothic American. You can see where she’s playing next. You can check out the quote plugin at the bottom of the page, in which wisdom resides. You can follow her on TikTok. Or you can just, I don’t know. Hang out.

HITCH-HIKER’S DORKDOM

Irresponsible Diagnoses

Review of My Sister’s A Therapist episode: Irresponsible Diagnoses 1

In the episode “Irresponsible Diagnoses,” Virginia and Laura tackle the topic of diagnosing fictional characters.

Virginia provides her theories on the likely psychiatric diagnoses of characters from popular TV shows and movies, such as Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Trading Places, and The Good Place. Laura then reviews Virginia’s theories based on the DSM-V.

The episode is both informative and entertaining. Virginia’s theories are often humorous and thought-provoking, and Laura’s explanations of the DSM-V are clear and concise. The sisters also do a great job of discussing the ethical implications of diagnosing fictional characters.

One of the things I appreciate most about this podcast is that it’s hosted by a licensed therapist and a comedian who are real sisters. This gives the podcast a unique perspective on mental health, and it makes the conversations feel authentic and relatable.

Overall, I highly recommend the episode “Irresponsible Diagnoses” to anyone who is interested in mental health, pop culture, or both. It’s a fun and informative listen, and it’s sure to make you think about the way we diagnose and treat mental illness in the real world.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Recommended for: Fans of mental health podcasts, pop culture podcasts, and anyone who is interested in learning more about the DSM-V.

My Sister’s A Therapist

My Sister’s a Therapist is a podcast featuring conversations between me, a comedian, and my sister, an LMFT in private practice, Laura Ryan.

We talk mental health and mental wellness, family of origins, relationships, and what’s happening on Tiktok.

The show grew out of the frequency with which I would dispense, at the very least, irresponsible, and at the most, harmful mental health guidance to my friends, citing the fact that my sister is a therapist, which pretty much makes me one.

I can’t tell you how much that is not true.

In our first episode, we talk about what’s toxic about the “friendzone”, including sad realizations about Billy Bragg and When Harry Met Sally, and also why Duckie Dale is kind of an asshole.
