BONUS: A Snake and a Baby Review: The Long Game

from Clinically Awkward · host Alyssa Zimmerman

In this bonus episode of Clinically Awkward, I, Alyssa Zimmerman, your local stressy messy AuDHD therapist and self appointed Snake, join Rain Glenn, the Baby, to celebrate our unlikely friendship built entirely on the Game Changers universe, a completely normal and healthy bonding experience. We spiral about our 50 day and counting Heated Rivalry hyperfixation and everything we know about season two adapting The Long Game, including the Spring 2027 release and the deeply suspicious six episode order that we do not trust. We mourn the loss of the gladiator butt plug Halloween scene, celebrate Shane coming out to a teammate, and present a professional “please don’t cut this” list featuring the kitchen scene, couch and ice cream, phone smut, the Pike Kids wedding, and more jealous Ilya. We campaign for maximum Yuna Hollander, debate the plane crash monologue logistics, defend Shane from the “he’s an asshole” discourse, analyze Ilya’s dad coded energy, and accept that waiting until 2027 is now part of our personality. 00:00 50 Days Deep in the Hyperfixation 00:49 Heated Rivalry Season 2: What We're Gaining, What We're Losing, and Why We're Devastated. 02:38 Montreal Metros Beef: Hayden Discourse and Team Rage 04:01 Scenes We Actually Need to Continue Living, Yuna Hollander Supremecy, Ending Therapist Misrepresentation 09:18 Ilya’s Soft, Smushy Soul & Girl‑Dad Energy 13:46 The Pike Kids Wedding Must Happen 16:33 Supportive Neighbors & Bobblehead Solidarity 19:23 The Plane Crash That Broke Us 21:15 He's Not a Dick, He's Just Autistic 23:28 Troy & Harris: The Skip of Season Two 27:36 Svetlana Already Knows & The Jealous Ilya We Want to See 32:06 Season Split: A Hope & A Fear 36:57 Man Buns, Trip-and-Falls & Other Crimes Against Canon 41:02 Trophy Room: Layers Upon Layers 42:42 That Wedding Song Was a Choice & Man in the Crease Trash Talking 46:07 Luca Haas and Our Queer Agenda 49:48 Coping with the Dopamine Crash of a Six Episode Season
