Fast Food

Fast Food

Mmmmmm mmmm. Who doesn't like fast food? It's cheap, it's greasy, kind of tasty, and relatively fast. Ed and Amber take some time this week and get some fast food, and try not to get sick while eating it in a closet. Then give some healthy options instead of fast food. Be good to yourself, don't eat yourself into an early grave. Also stick around till the end and you'll get Ed's Mom's secret Mushroom Barley recipe.  Ed's Spotify Playlist this week is "Struttin" and we're hearing Mr. Tough by Yo La Tengo.

Healthy Ways To Deal With Anger

Healthy Ways To Deal With Anger

On this Brighter Side, Ed and Amber talk about positive and negative ways to deal with anger and pain. Sure putting your hand through a wall feels good for exactly one second, & then your wrist hurts and you gotta learn how to dry wall. Plus whomever lives with you is mad, and there is little pieces of wall everywhere. It's a mess. Instead maybe go for a walk, hug a dog, or eat some fruit and cry. You never know it might be just what you need.  This week's song is off of Ed's "Can we just rock the f**k out for a little bit?"
