Find out today about David's evangelical upbringing and how he came to think differently about the world. Marvel at lessons Zazie learned from her atypically-German dad!

Richie Moriarty

Richie Moriarty has been our pal for over a decade now, but as we find out on this episode, did we ever *really* know him??? Now, *you* know Richie, obviously, as one of the stars of the hit CBS sitcom Ghosts, or maybe you've heard his voice on a ton of children's cartoons or popping up in everything from What We Do In the Shadows to The Tick to Search Party. Well, even if this is your first time meeting Richie, you're gonna love him! We quickly find out that he was married before and that COMPLETELY blows our minds, but Richie is kind enough to go through the rise and fall of his first marriage. We talk about the long emotional recovery time after his divorce, moving to New York and meeting his now-wife Ciara two weeks later and so much more, including, of course, a detailed explanation of the improv show opening called The Pattern Game! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Katy O'Brian

Katy O'Brian has an extensive filmography: The Running Man, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Queens of the Dead, Twisters, Loves Lies Bleeding, The Mandalorian, and of course, she first captured our hearts in a little zombie comedy called Z Nation! She's worked with everyone from Tom Cruise to Glen Powell to Kristen Stewart, but this might be the most important role of her life: Couples Therapy guest! While Katy is an even-keeled person, we peel back the layers and talk how she learned to be vulnerable in Indiana, navigating friendships when you are a focused & ambitious person, dealing with crippling misophonia, martial arts and 5th grade bullies, being disciplined, only leaving the house for a ribfest or a jazzfest and SO MUCH MORE!

Aaron Chen

We fell in love with the Australian comedy Fisk late last year (you can watch every episode on Netflix RIGHT NOW), and today we have one of the stars of the show and one of our favs, stand-up Aaron Chen! Aaron's done a ton of stuff including being on the Australian Taskmaster and co-hosting Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, and then he moved to New York, where he does stand-up, which he also tours around the US (catch him now in a city near you [https://www.aaronchencomedy.com/]!). Aaron's a smiley, affable dude, and on today's BONUS episode, we talk about the Maoist China origins of his anxiety, which kind of therapy is dinner and which kind is dessert, getting married and moving with his wife to America right afterward and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Jamali Maddix

One of our favs from Taskmaster, British stand-up Jamali Maddix joins us this week! Now, like I said, Jamali first captured our hearts on Taskmaster series 11, but he's also been on tons of other panel shows, most notably as a regular panelist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and hosted his own docuseries Hate Thy Neighbor, where he tours far-right hate groups around the world to try and figure them out. Yikes! On today's episode, we start out discussing shit-talking & male friendships, which leads us to getting Jamali to dish about Taskmaster, as well as learning to be a real person, being haunted by endless wanting, a near-death experience in Thailand and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
