(From the Vault) I Wanna Get Better
Part 1 – Did We Re-open Too Early?
It’s another reunion of “The Acc and Jack Show!” Jack points out that he, Acc and Nate have not done a radio show together in upwards of a decade.
To begin, Jack is trying hard not to hate the television ad for The Last of Us Part II. Acc points out that people are upset that main character Ellie is gay. Said people clearly never played the first game.
Elsewhere, Jack ponders if Massachusetts and New Hampshire respectively re-opened too early. Massachusetts continues with its phased approach, while New Hampshire says “f**k it.”
Part 2 – A Chat About Mental Health
This segment and the remainder of this episode cover the subject of mental health. Acc, Jack, and Nate all suffer from their own, respective mental curiosities. Jack opens up about recent tribulations, and asks the room when they first chose to seek professional help.
Part 3 – A Further Chat About Mental Health
Continuing the mental health discussion, Jack questions Acc and Nate about what they do when they feel a panic attack coming on. To conclude this episode on a lighter note, Jack also asks what Acc and Nate consider to be their “perfect escape.”
