Description

*This episode contains spoilers*

Content note: Discussion of mental illness and stigma, mentions of suicide, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism and addiction

Kate and Louis discuss beloved musical-comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, it's portrayal of managing mental health and relationships, and it's razor sharp song writing. Along the way, they also talk TV ratings, fart jokes, and why Kate should give Fountains of Wayne another chance. (its because they have songs like Sink To The Bottom, which is great)
