A general outline:

This is take two (we tried to record earlier, but kids...)
We talk about the role of the analyst and psychoanalysis as opposed to a psychotherapist/psychotherapy
We talk about the unconscious as "a part of us that has a mind of its own" (again)
The unconscious does not exist it insists
The idea that if we shut down the unconscious we end up empowering the drive
Freud's 1920 Beyond the Pleasure Principle and how it relates to the unconscious & the drive
Jered uses the intervention of scansion to put an end to things
