Chapter 1: What is Therapus?
Solving your problems with the famous person on the couch. It's Therapus. He's got you on the hook. He slayed and he shook. It's Therapus, Therapus, Therapus, Therapus.
With me, Jake Shane. Hi pussies and welcome back to Therapa. Sorry I have a little egg on my jeans because I just filmed a skit. Which I've actually realized doing those like improv skits is so... So... So sorry. That is my Hatch Restore breathing alarm. As you guys know, sleep is imperative to my mental health and who I am as a person.
So using the Hatch Restore is just very, very vital to my sleep routine. It wakes me up very peacefully and also puts me to bed very peacefully. But you can also wake up with like really fun alarm clocks too. I choose the Morning Rave, which says... It's like a DJ set and then it says, thank God it's Monday. And even if I hear it on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, it still hits the same.
Hatch is a sleep smart cock. If you struggle to go to bed and want to go to bed phone free, Hatch has got you covered. The Hatch makes your sleep routine easy, delightful and something to look forward to. And I can personally attest to this. If you know, I literally use a hatch every single night. So does every single person in my household. We're clinically addicted to it.
It really does make our sleep schedule so much better and it makes waking up so much more enjoyable. You can customize.

Chapter 2: How important is sleep for mental health?
your like nighttime and morning routines with like different lights so like you can turn this purple or blue or green and you can have it do ocean sounds or you can have it do a morning rave like I enjoy doing because it really gets me out of bed in the morning or you can do the meditation flute which is what you guys just heard.
Hatch is currently offering $20 off the Hatch Restore for Therapist listeners now as part of their Buy More Save More December event. You can go to hatch.co slash therapist for $20 off your Hatch Restore. And free shipping! There is something to be said about relaxation not being prompted by something on your phone and instead being prompted by an external device or an external thing.
I think your phone inherently isn't relaxing. So for my breathing alarm to go off in more of a peaceful way on like a smart alarm clock as opposed to a phone just makes it... way more relaxing to begin with and makes me just put down my phone almost immediately. I don't have to click anything on my phone. I can breathe and relax. So thank you, Hatch, for sponsoring this episode.

For a comedian to make their brand Christmas and they're Jewish is kind of funny.
No, but like I have a Christmas song coming out and it's called Santa Can You Pay For Me I Forgot My Card and I'm Jewish.
I like this though. Right? Well, here's the thing about Christmas. It kind of like is for everyone because they force it to be. That's what I'm saying. That's the whole thing.

You wrote for that season?
Yes. That is one of my favorite shows ever. Thanks. I feel sometimes like, so I wrote for that show and then I didn't end up writing for the third season because other things came up. But sometimes I felt like they were making fun of me in the third season. I was like, I know it. You doubt you were Carrie Dubek.
No, it was just that I remember I got the job writing on the show and they liked that I was also like trying to make it as an actor and like worked my jobs and everything.
So they were using you for inspo.
So a lot of times I would pitch real things from my life. Like one time I did like, like they did this whole bit where it was like Carrie and like, it was like Carrie and an ethnic woman playing like, is this food? And it was like, it was always like a white gay guy and an ethnic woman being like, I don't know if a hot dog is a sandwich or not. What do you think?
And it was just like a very like choogy millennial, like back and forth.

That is Instagram gay culture.
Yeah, for sure. No, absolutely. It's crazy. It's like what happens when insta-gays grow up a little bit. They sort of wear matching white tanks with their partner, and they pose barefoot in front of a fireplace. They're like, I'm a Slytherin. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's the vibe.
