Depression w/ Tyler May Feb 25, 2018

Show notes

On today's sad boyz, we're joined by Tyler May of Mr. Feels (a mental health podcast) to discuss depression. We address coping strategies, therapy, and our own experiences.

Also, Jarvis is back from NYC and tells the story of running into his two comedy heroes at breakfast, Tyler is visiting the city and already taking SF by storm, and Jordan cried at a philz.

This ep is a little raw, so the topic gets started at 38:00 if you're lookin'

Guilt Feb 10, 2018

Show notes

Today the boyz are still in total burnout mode (turns out these things don't fix themselves in a week) and we talk about guilt: Our catalysts for guilt and how we cope once that cat's out of the bag.

Guilt can be a pragmatic tool that keeps us self-aware. That is, as long as you're not crippled by it (i'm looking at you, Jarvis).

Also there's a new "trash update" which is quickly becoming the most consistent thing about the show, we announce a new segment, and justin timberlake released an album, the boyz react.

Burnout Feb 03, 2018

Show notes

Jarvis and Jordan are at wit's end. They're doing too much, burning the candle at both ends—but the show must go on. Sad Boyz is, after all, our group therapy session that we share with all of you... emotional voyeurs (?)
On a (late) episode of Sad Boyz, the boys discuss their experiences with burnout: Where it comes from, how it affects us and the people around us, and finally what we can do about it.

Also in this episode, Jarvis talks about his wildly busy weekend that inspired this episode and a lot of changes in his life and Jordan.. well, Jordan thinks the city from the movie footloose is called footloose.

2018 Predictions Jan 13, 2018

Show notes

It's 2018, so naturally the Nostradami (that's the plural of Nostradamus if you were wondering) hazard some optimistic (and pessimistic) guesses about what will happen in the new year.

But first, we give a brief history of the Lonely Island because of course we do, we do some shoutouts to our amazing listeners, and Jarvis talks about how crappy it feels to promote his stuff (which reminds me please leave us a review on itunes)

In the topic, we discuss (without spoiling our predictions) Logan Paul, Black Panther and diversity (or lack thereof) in Hollywood, cross-cultural music phenomena like gangam style and despacito, and finally justin timberlake's upcoming album.

As always, we get weird, but new in this episode we get pretty heated while talking about some of the topics, so be sure to listen!

Cleaning House Dec 31, 2017

Show notes

In preparation for 2018, the boyz clean house. We get really vulnerable about where our mental health has been at lately, Jordan has an apology to the listeners, we talk about how the show has changed our relationship with eachother and finally and we discuss our new years resolutions for the pod.

It wouldn't be Sad Boyz without some banter on obtuse subjects, so we also spend time talking about stand up comedy, how neither of us has seen Seinfeld, and we laugh so hard we cry

Awkward Thanksgiving Dinner Conversations Dec 09, 2017

It's just the boyz this week. We reflect on our thanksgiving holiday and the very awkward dinner conversations that we had. Relatedly, we talk about how the confederate flag is a lot like the california roll, vine is coming back and we unironically can't contain our excitement and we hear the thrilling conclusion of Jordan's surprise for his mom that we heard about last week (hi Joy!)
