Our old pal Aparna Nancherla - surely you know her from her stand-up or from [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] which we can't really mention because of the ongoing SAG strike - just wrote a book! That's right Unreliable Narrator is available now! And y'all should buy it tout de suite! While Aparna's been on the show before, once with Jo Firestone and once with her fiancee Gabe, we've never talked to her solo on the pod, so we use the time to ask our friend all the HARD-HITTING QUESTIONS we've never asked her at dinner or hanging out after a show. We reminisce about comedy in New York, about our mental health journeys and how our various mental maladies affect our romantic lives and of course, we taped this on the day the Emergency Alert System test happened, so you know we talk about that!

Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson have been guests on Couples Therapy since we were a a live show in the back room of an East Village bar, and over the last ten years, every time we'd see them, we'd ask about their UCB musical that they were turning into a movie. Fucking Identical Twins was one of our favorite shows at UCB, and it was nuts, and we were really curious to see if it would ever get made. Well, folks, not only did it get made, but Dicks: The Musical is INCREDIBLE! Just a genuinely strange and hilarious film from moment one, we can't recommend it enough. Grab your N95s and air purifiers and anti-viral sprays and go see an 11am matinee STAT! And on this episode, Josh and Aaron reminisce with us about UCB and the time Padma Lakshmi took level one, the emotional issues of making a movie over a decade, working with a comedy partner and all the ego stuff around being the least famous people in your own movie. Oh, and of course, Barbara Streisand's 2016 album Movie Partners Sing Broadway! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
