Inside a recent episode

Work Out Feeling Mad

Published 8 May 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And we're sorry about the mess. Well, thank you very much. Will you hold it for me? I'm not ready to eat it just yet. I'm still stepping out my mad. You have steps to get over being mad. I do indeed. First, I take a few slow deep breaths to calm down. Second, I put on loud music and march around until I don't feel so mad anymore. Third, I put my mad into words so I can explain my feelings to whoever I'm mad at. To us, you mean? Yes, to you. If you go gather on the couch, I will be out shortly. Okay. Thank you. I don't get what Super is doing. When I get mad, I just yell as loud as I can. Super, we're on the couch. […]
