Imagine this: you're getting ready to do your big live show from MomoCon in Atlanta, GA, when you get a call that your DM is sick, and won't be able to make it. Also imagine that your players are two absolute dipshits named Cate and Erik who decide to Leroy Jenkins it and asked the ENTIRE AUDIENCE to be the DM...and honestly? This is maybe one of our favorite episodes. Huge thanks again to MomoCon for having us, it was a blast. Join Cate and Erik on a quest to return Reginald the Alligator through the darkest swamps of exotic and mysterious Tampa, Florida. It only gets weirder from there.

CW: This episode contains conversations about addiction & eating disorders. In this episode, Cate and Erik unpack their thoughts and opinions around habits, and it turns out that Cate doesn't exactly know what a habit it, but that's cool. They discuss developing good - and breaking bad- habits, and the frustrations that come when the line between habit and addiction are blurred. We discuss the nuance of "fault", and how breaking things can sometimes be less helpful than small tweaks.

FRUITSNACK WARNING! This episode contains discussions about sex and sexuality, there are also some swears. In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to dismantle some myths about Neurodivergence & sex, particularly the idea that there is a "normal" sex drive. They discuss their struggles with their often-changing interest in sex and intimacy, and talk about how sometimes, RSD, hyperfixation and a lack of communication can create a perfect storm of resentment and anger in a relationship. Most importantly, we just talk about how we kinda don't want to have sex right now, and that's okay.

After...something of a hiatus, the (official) ADHDnD campaign returns! It's been a minute, so to recap: Blumken and Helvetica find themselves trapped in the ADHDnD without their weapons...and without each other. Let's see how our intrepid adventurers manage to get out of this one. MOD makes another appearance (and so does Atticus) and Helvetica maybe does a crime. Maybe. Also Chris, our intrepid DM, somehow manages to keep us (very nearly) on track for an entire episode, which we felt like deserves its own mention.

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to answer a deeply important question: Is Jurassic World a Christmas movie? They also attempt to talk about the pressures of planning holidays with ADHD, but spoilers: it ultimately turns into a conversation about Cate's weird obsession with centerpieces. We touch on what the holiday season is like with ADHD time blindness, discuss a little about choice paralysis and hyperfixation, and then they get distracted and plan holiday dinner.

In this episode, Cate and Erik procrastinate on an episode about procrastination and try to find the source of a mysterious ticking noise. We break down some of our own struggles about the pitfalls and challenges of being ADHD procrastinators, offer a few probably less than helpful tips and then Erik makes the terrible mistake of bringing up Robert Johnson not knowing that he was a major hyperfixation for Cate a few years ago and things just go downhill from there.
