Hi friends! This episode is a hodgepodge of updates around our mental health, Ash's recent lapse in sobriety and why she's glad she's not in AA, and what's happening on TSFU in the coming weeks. We've got a special interview and Patrons are getting a brand-spanking new episode of Ash Learns the Bible!

Ash also kicks off the show telling Fallon about a problematic singer that she recently discovered on the interwebs. Let us know if you're interested in more content like that, Ash is into it and wondering if y'all are on the same train. Please reach out and let us know! And as promised, we've provided some mental health and addiction resources below.
