Midnight Therapy #25 - Butthole-Bread and Circuses

Dive into the absurdity and humor of the world with Cat Matthews in Midnight Therapy, where no topic is off-limits, and every conversation is laced with sharp wit and candid commentary.Cat recaps a recent podcast appearance and skips the slow news cycle in favor of tackling everything from politics to personal anecdotes. Biden and Trump’s “friendly” meet-up and RFK banning everything set the stage for some pointed reflections on the state of things. Cat shares his thoughts on the pharmaceutical industry’s grip on America, the ridiculousness of drug ads, and how Big Pharma’s influence has spiraled out of control.Switching gears, Cat critiques the CMA Awards as just more “bread and circuses,” touches on Jake Paul’s hustle as a modern conman, and laments his failed attempt to get into Mike Tyson’s old fights. On the lighter side, Christmas decorating season is in full swing—featuring Home Depot’s terrifying Jack Frost and Scrooge decorations.Cat also dives into Thanksgiving traditions, exploring the history of stuffing (the verb, not the noun!) and how Thanksgiving evolved over the years. He rounds it out with a reflection on Black Friday madness, reminiscing about his time at Toys “R” Us before the consumerist takeover made every day feel like Black Friday online.As always, Cat keeps it real with some local shoutouts to sponsors 3 Saints Barber Shop and Jak’s Pub and Eatery, and shares exciting news about an upcoming comedy show at Hotel Anthracite in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, this April.Whether you’re ready for the Christmas season or not, Cat is bringing it full swing.
