In this delightfully absurd and thought-provoking episode, we dive headfirst into the chaos of escape scenarios with a twist—each one wrapped in a “Would You Rather” dilemma that blends trauma, healing, and hilarity. From dodging donut-wielding ex-cops to navigating the foster care system on a unicycle, we explore the wild ways people might choose to flee their circumstances… if only life came with a costume budget and a flair for the dramatic.

 

Highlights Include:

  • Choosing between cat video spam or donut-stalking ex-cops
  • Escaping toxic relationships via llama farming or mime therapy
  • Facing court in a clown suit vs. deliberating among pool toys
  • Tackling childhood trauma recovery in rhyme or in a chicken suit
  • And yes, living in a taco-shaped tiny house while wearing a sombrero

 

Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or just someone who appreciates the healing power of humor, this episode invites you to laugh, reflect, and imagine your own escape—one ridiculous choice at a time.

Tune in for a ride of empathy, absurdity, and escape artistry.
