Don't make an ass out of you and me by not listening to this episode. Tim talks about how always assuming the worst is ... the worst! Good communication and active listening skills will help prevent that. This episode talks about Tim's 36th birthday weekend walking a goat, his current mood swings, the connection between weed & covid, and virtual reality therapy!
