I love Aparna, and I’m far from alone. Her hilarious stage presence, her incredible acting work, and her peerless writing (no one is better at Twitter) have earned her fans from all walks of life. She and I met doing comedy in the waiting area of Walter Reed Hospital ten-odd years ago, and we’ve been friends ever since. THE CALLS: 1) Chris is running out of cooking ideas, can you help??, 2) A woodpecker is living in the corner a guy’s house. How to get rid of it? (Side note: WTF??), and 3) A caller hasn’t been in a relationship for a long time and isn’t sure he wants one. Is that okay? Listen in to hear our genius answers!

Dave Holmes is an old friend of mine, even though we’re both very young men. His partner Ben is an old friend too, and he’s done all of my theme songs (specials, all podcasts), but I digress. Dave and I can’t figure out when we met, because we’re just that tight. He has an interesting history, some of which you might know, but an even more interesting outlook and brain. I’m glad he could join me to help! CALLS: 1) Annie’s dad refuses to wash his hands in airports because they’ll “make his hands even dirtier.” Also, he’s using airports!! 2) A guy broke up with his lady, “and it hurts like a motherfucker,” 3) What’s good to cook on the grill? An eternal classic!

Michelle Buteau has a Netflix special AND a book on the way, is raising baby twins (a girl and a boy), and has a husband who makes her cocktails. She. Is. Winning. However, she went through a lot to get where she is, and it’s never been easy being a woman of color in America. We get into it on this episode, and Michele uses her wisdom and hilarious point of view to help out our callers. CALLS: 1) Marcus is heavier than he should be, according to others, but doesn’t really want to. 2) An almost divorced woman wants to get freaky with someone. Is that wrong?, and 3) Ethan from Southern California has lost his two best friends to each other and doesn’t know how to deal. Listen in to the problems of strangers with us!

David G’Borie isn’t here to help white friends figure out what to do, he’s here for the comedy. David hasn’t had the easiest life, but he’s really easy to be around, and he makes me laugh really hard. We know each other from the comedy festival circuit, and over the past few years he’s found real success both on screen and as the official voice of Comedy Central. CALLS: 1) A man did some trolling online (for good reasons (?)) and lost his job. Is that fair?, 2) Megan wants to know how to get out into the dating scene during these quarantine times, 3) A nice lady has super judgmental friends. Should she tell them to shove it? Listen now and see what we think!

Josh is an old friend, a fantastic comedian, and one of the best comedy writers alive. Also, he’s a dick. Kidding! That’s just what I call him because he’s so nice. Josh is famous for his pep talks online and off, and in this episode he did not disappoint. In fact, we spent the first 20 minutes cracking each other up! Love Josh, love this episode. CALLS: A man wonders if he should leave his “real” job for a “lesser” job to… be happy, a woman asks she she can un-invite her asshole uncle to her wedding, and a fella named Drew wants to know what us white men should do to help change things! Way to close it out, Drew! Listen now.

My friend Doug Benson is a gem, and the hardest working stoned person since Bob Marley’s tour manager. We go back a lot of years, and he’s one of those guys who has never had any ego when it comes to helping out other comics and including them in his shows, podcasts, etc. I can’t tell you how fun it was to listen to these calls with my ol’ pal Dougie. CALLS: A man I called Thor (because he looks like Thor) when I was performing in St. Paul calls in to ask “HOW DO WE DATE NOW?,” Hayley from Maryland has a possum in her backyard she wants to make friends with (This is how bad it’s gotten), and a polyamorous immunodeficient person wonders who she can trust! Whoa. Listen now.
