A Nice Indian Boy (Now on Hulu!) is one of our favorite films of the year, and on today's episode, we talk to power couple Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi, the star and director of the film respectively! Now, you know Karan from his previous appearance on the show or maybe from the Deadpool films, the Spider-Man Spider-Verse films, Miracle Workers and a ton of other stuff, and Roshan is both a practicing doctor and the co-creator of the hit Fox show The Resident. And on today's show, we get to know them as a COUPLE!. We hear about their relationship roles when they started dating, and how those roles have inverted over time; Karan tells us about his pre-Roshan dating life, Roshan talks to us about his run-ins with cops and Gen Z residents, and a TON of other stuff including medical shows' biggest deception: that there are white doctors! 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!

The response to Adam Pally's advice a few episodes ago was EXPLOSIVE, so rather than try to rush through a single comment in an intro, we thought, "Why not just do a Naomi and Andy solo episode where we can really put up our feet and take our time?" We discuss the response from both listeners and the original advice-seeker, we hear some updates, discuss some out of pocket behavior in a work environment, learn about the 1993 Onyx hit "Slam", and answer advice questions about terrible work environments and governments that don't give a shit. 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!
