Greg Heller's News, Joe Kwaczala's Beard, Just Me Or Everyone Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

Greg Heller has returned and he's brought his buddy Joe Kwaczala who has a Comedy Central special coming out Nov 8. Joe is also, like Tony, definitely a "beard guy," and Greg's going to get to the bottom of it in what should probably become a new segment which Joe has many possible names for. Alison and Daniel saw Jesus Christ Superstar and Alison was wrecked by a scene that was deeply emotional and involved handfuls of glitter. Plus Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze, Just Me Or Everyone, a tense scene near an elevator and some news from Greg.

Mary Katharine Ham Finds Love Again Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

Four years ago political pundit Mary Katharine Ham's personal tragedy was all over the news when her husband Jake Brewer died suddenly in a cycling accident. Theirs had been a picture perfect romance that read like a movie—he was former Obama staffer, she was a conservative columnist and pundit appearing regularly on Fox News (she's now employed by CNN). They had one daughter and she was seven months pregnant with their second daughter at the time of the accident. As Mary Katharine recounts here, she figured she'd probably not date again, at least not for awhile. And then a couple years later she found herself opening her heart again to a mysterious man who has no social media presence but actually exists (I met him myself). We recorded this episode the night following her surprise engagement. We also talk about masculinity, sexual harassment, hoarding, anxiety, the LadyBrains podcast, being a decisive person and so much more.
