CAT AND RAT: Pleasure Center & Sleeping With A Nightmare
Summary
Hosts Catherine and Gareth discuss their podcast's new name, reviewing audience suggestions and settling on "Cat and Rat." They then take a call from Jimmy, an elementary school principal in Ottawa, who is obsessed with recurring dreams about meeting Gareth; the hosts humorously advise him to establish boundaries and consider hypnosis. Finally, they assist Lynn from South Dakota, whose husband makes loud, disturbing noises while sleeping, by strategizing how to manage the situation during her upcoming trip to Italy with friends.
