Ronna's been stung by a bee and (Bryan)'s wearing jorts cut up to his hole. There's no better guest to have in these circumstances than the one we've got this week. We're joined by the HILARIOUS Zach Zucker!

(Bryan) saw Zach's show, JACK TUCKER: COMEDY STANDUP HOUR, in New York a few months ago and raved about it. It's a MUST SEE. Luckily it's on tour now! Zach was just in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Kansas City, and, if you missed those, he's going to be in Chicago, London, and in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival this summer. Go see him! Tickets and info at stamptowncomedy.com

Zach joins us to give advice on preferred names and breaking the news to a family member that they're no longer allowed to take care of the kids.

214 - Couples Who Gym with Special Guest Host Gearóid Farrelly May 07, 2024

Show notes

Once again, Ronna's not here this week as she's either in the process of moving back to the US, or, as (Bryan) theorizes, desperately seeking doctors to correct a cosmetic surgery mishap. But luckily we've got a Carriage House favorite joining (Bryan): it's Gearóid Farrelly!

Of course you know Gearóid as a comedian extraordinaire, but he also hosts a fabulous podcast called AGONY RANTS with Irish legend Niamh Kavanagh (winner of Eurovision '93, pardon me). You can also check out his other pod FASCINATED.

Gearóid and (Bryan) give advice this week on dealing with being ghosted by a close friend and what to do when you feel as though your new friends are trying to convert you to their religion.

May is going to be an incredible month for AR Social Club with a cocktail from mixology mastermind Ivy Mix. Can we top it next month? Yes we can! June is the two year anniversary of the club, and believe us when we say we're going all out! Join us in June! arsocialclub.com
