Matt's an old pal, and he's been on the show a bunch of times both on his own and with Bowen, and especially last time, we did the "Couples Therapy thing", so this time, we thought we'd ask Matt about the two years since his last appearance. Now Matt's been having what we'll call "An Ascent", but Matt tells us it doesn't feel like that from the inside. Color us intrigued! We spend a lot of time discussing what it feels like when your self-image has to catch up to your public persona, how this affects your romantic life and so much more. Matt's genuinely the best, and you HAVE to catch him on his Prince of Christmas tour this December AND watch him on the new Netflix show No Good Deed starting December 12th! And of course, listen to Las Culturistas! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

We kind of knew *of* Allison before sitting down with her on today's episode, but we didn't *know* Allison and boy oh boy are we glad we got to because she's the bee's knees! Now, you all probably know of Allison Raskin from her YouTube channel Just Between Us with her comedy partner Gabe Dunn (with whom she's also written several books) or from her two great books Over-Thinking About You and her latest I Do (I Think)! But even if this is your first time meeting her, strap in for some fun and sage advice! Allison walks us through how a devastating break-up led to her meeting her husband, how dealing with mental health issues since childhood has affected her romantic life, some science behind what's actually helpful in therapy and SO MUCH MORE!

Taped weeks and weeks ago before the bottom fell out of our (albeit, already-failing) democracy, stand-up Gianmarco Soresi joins us from road, doing a weekend in Ohio. Now you may know Gianmarco from his stand-up, either in person or online or maybe even from his Netflix set as part of the Verified series, or from his podcast The Downside, but even if you don't know him at all, you will fall in love after today's ep! While we spend the first few minutes feeling each other out - are we being serious? are we just goofing? are we really going to talk about doing stand-up on TikTok? - we quickly get into the good stuff: why Gianmarco doesn't want to get married, how he met his girlfriend in lockdown, estranged dads and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Our podcast parent Acast thought we might get along swimmingly with the boys of AsapSCIENCE, so they suggested a crossover, and buddy, were they ever right! Taped a few weeks ago before the US dropped off a cliff (maybe you can hear the light in our voices?), on today's episode, we're talking to couple and science educators Mitch Moffit and Greg Brown! Now, you might know Greg and Mitch from their hit YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE or from their wonderful podcast Sidenote (check us out on a recent ep!). Well, even if this is your first time meeting the duo, you're in for a treat! We get into how they met in college, how Mitch's time on the reality show Big Brother got *Greg* (and eventually Mitch himself) into therapy, going on dates with a conversation app and SO MUCH MORE!

After this week, and the US's decision to embrace whatever form of fascism the GOP is offering, you, dear listener, are perhaps feeling as shitty as we are. Sleeplessness. Doom scrolling. Brownies for breakfast. While this is not a balm for our political situation, we thought, "Why don't we record a bonus episode that will both distract us for an hour and also help the listeners take a break from that Germany 1933 feeling." So we offer to you four advice questions, some of which we've thought might be more difficult to answer with a guest. Hopefully, this gives you some slight reprieve... it was fun to record even though we had about four hours of sleep between the two of us!

Our old friend Langston Kerman is back! We absolutely loved Langston's new Netflix special Bad Poetry and had to have him back to tell us what it was like to have a powerful white (John Mulaney produced and directed the special, and also Langston wrote on the fantastic Everybody's In LA) in your corner! But that's not all we talk about! We discuss how Langston was a big poetry dork in high school, yet still had the confidence to be popular. We talk about why he's not so into therapy. And of course, we talk about why Love Jones didn't cross over to white audiences. Something we talk about on almost every episode! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

We're spreading our wings and stepping outside our comfort zone to talk to folks we think are funny, but that we don't know, and on today's episode with Zach Zimmerman, we are rewarded for our risk-taking! Cuz Zach is the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, heck, he's even the tapir's cape! Now Zach's a stand-up who hosts a live show with our fav Jay Jurden, he's appeared on Corden and After Midnight, and his first book of essays Is It Hot in Here (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)? was published last year. And on today's ep we talk all about mother issues! Mother issues, conservative parents, and Andy tries to get Zach to explain the psychological inconsistencies in Evangelical Christianity... can he do it? PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
