The return of Jonathan Taylor Thomas, celebrity OCD stories, and a haunted fort in Rajasthan

from Drinking Tea with Monsters: a podcast about OCD, pop-culture, and ghosts

This week on Drinking Tea with Monsters, the podcast about OCD and other, less scary monsters, we uncover some repressed memories of the fever dream of a TV show from the late 80s, American Gladiator. Then we continue through the decades and deep dive into the return to TV of 90s heartthrob, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. We get into the weeds about the Home Improvement reunion and Tim Allen's career, from the Santa Claus to Shifting Gears. We've got a controversial take on this hit sitcom!Then, we take a hopeful look at OCD. We start with a calming exercise that has helped me reduce my anxiety in moments of panic, and we take a look at celebrities who have been successful despite living with the debilitating themes of OCD. We look at what triggered their symptoms and what has worked to help ease them.Finally, Pri brings us home with a story from Rajasthan, India, when she tells us all about a fort so haunted, it's actually illegal to visit at night, and the ghosts that reside there to make it so.Grab your blanket and a brew, because we're about to spill the tea on all things pop-culture, OCD, and ghosts.Here's hoping your tea is hot, and your monsters are chill.LINKS TO STUFFI'm, like, totally obsessed with...Home Improvement - the reunionWatch Home Improvement on Disney+ and NetflixJonathan Taylor ThomasWatch Shifting Gears on Disney+ and ABCOCDTo learn more about OCD and the various common subtypes, visit the International OCD Foundation: https://iocdf.org/Turtles All the Way Down by John GreenFinding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella Watch My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on Apple TVNOCD therapy resourceDrinking Tea with MonstersRajasthan Bhanghar FortTangent StuffWatch American Gladiator on Amazon Prime or RokuWatch Muscles & Mayhem, An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators on NetflixBrick for your phoneContact UsINSTAGRAM: @drinkingteawithmonsters EMAIL: [email protected] from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/fernweh-goldfish/crooked-old-shrewhttps://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/fairytalesOCD Resources IOCDFPsychology TodayLooking for another cozy listen?🎧 Check out Leela's other podcast, No Dating Till You're Married, an audiobook podcast.
