Emotional Hangs

Joe is still in Los Angeles and Kurt is still Montreal, after a brief reuniting during Thanksgiving the guys are back to their pen pal ways. Thus starts a new series of letters to each other.

Joe's exiting his psychological funk thanks to modern medicine, and just in time for the barbeque he and Kurt are attending as ADULT FRIENDS! Savor this episode, listeners, because Joe and Kurt are returning to pen pal status through January.

Kurt pens his audio letter from a frozen, Canadian alleyway, while Joe defends his steak-eating dog from a hotel in Ft. Worth, TX. They are both jealous of each other's new friends.

It's the second installment of Joe and Kurt's audio letters. Kurt ruins his chances of receiving free records once again, and Joe namedrops with the subtlety of a hand grenade.

True adult friendship knows no distance. That's why Joe and Kurt are sending audio letters to each other while they're apart.

LIVE from Scoopfest in Las Vegas, Joe and Kurt go deep with the founders of Scoopfest, Matt and Paul.

We've got one guest this episode - a first for Emotional Hangs! Lauren Cook, Kurt's wife and Joe's friend, joins the boys to chat about the platonic ménage à trois that is their adult friendship.

Kurt's over the whole approachability thing, and Joe gets free vinyl from a fan. Then, the guys talk grief, holidays without loved ones, and the most aggrivating moment to offer someone a frozen yogurt.

It's soft, it's emotional, it's a special crossover episode with Mike Tully of the Tully Show and his adult friend Craig Williams. 

In this episode, it's just the boys. As per usual, they reflect and ponder, but they have to know - is Kurt approachable? He asked, the listeners answered. Stay tuned through the end for another installment of Question Time. --- Don’t miss an episode! Subscribe @ hyperurl.co/emohangs Like what you hear?

Comedians and friends Nikki Glaser and Lizzy Cooperman stop by the studio in this emotional hang to reflect on the stuff that matters, ie the politics between drivers and bikers, deviously reading your roommate's diary, and fat, drunk fun in St. Louis. Don't fret, there's still time left for airing it out. 

This episode is less about the listeners' questions and more about their apparent devotion to Joe. But they get to the questions eventually. The guys discuss polyamorous relationships, cryptic emails from old lovers, and, of course, alcohol. 

In this episode, child stars turned grown adults Danny and Mike (from The Adventures of Pete and Pete) answer questions like: What happens when a childhood friendship blossoms into an adult friendship? What the hell is a unicorn kiss? And is it too soon for Nancy Kerrigan jokes? Don’t worry, Joe and Kurt have plenty to air out, too.

Kurt and Joe wonder if their listeners like their bullshit or if they prefer to hear from guests every once in awhile (listeners, feel free to chime in). Joe’s back with a wooden clog-full of Amsterdam experiences. So tune in, but don’t give any advice - Joe’s just looking for a listening ear.

Tip from Kurt - if you ever find yourself in a situation where Joe DeRosa is the good cop to your bad cop, you’re on the wrong side of the issue. Make yourself comfortable, because Kurt and Joe are back and this week, they’re airing it out. Don’t miss an episode! Subscribe @ hyperurl.co/emohangs Like what you hear?

First rule of this (archive) episode? Talk about Fight Club. Joe's been painting like a clown, Kurt explains why he almost Irish-goodbyes from hangs, and the guys finally address the thing everyone is talking about: The First Annual LA River Tubing Expedition.

Kurt’s meditating in Alaska somewhere, so Joe gets extra soft alone. Buckle up and relax, it’s time for a rerun of a classic: Emotional Hangs Episode 3.

Joe and Kurt wonder if they should quit talking about friendship so much. So they talk about viral Eminem remixes, movies with talking animals, and depression instead.

One from the archives! The very first Emotional Hangs -- like Huey Lewis and the News, we’re goin’ back in time!

How much ball-busting is too much ball-busting? Joe and Kurt may never know. Tune in to hear reflections on Joe’s drug-induced Tuesday night, twitter beef, and other emotional musings.

Jake and Matt are here in custom shirts they made for each other, and we haven’t even gotten into the emotional stuff. By the way, who’s your dad’s dealer?

Joe and Kurt sift through your questions again, which inevitably leads to a discussion on politics and who’s a good person. If only dinner parties had conversations like this instead of the ones where you have to listen to someone talk about their homemade jewelry business.

Joe and Kurt are a little worried about themselves, but enough about them, this episode is about YOU and your questions! They talk being single at bars, equality, and a complete apocalyptic reset.

So, you hug your dad? What exactly is the proper paternal send-off to ‘nam?

Joe and Kurt analyze why the good die young, which electronic instruments are dorkiest (the key-tar), and whether there’s an afterlife. Join them as they sift through Joe's 23andme results and get soft with lineage and identity.

This week’s apology goes to Nick Offerman. Then, let’s talk hating ourselves, meditation, and the permissible stalking of potential friends.

Is siblinghood like marriage? Randy and Jason discuss what it’s like to be a package deal in the public eye.

What’s the nicest gift you’ve ever given to a non-relative? How do you break up with someone you’re not dating?

Real friends pee on each other when they’re mad, Dino and Andy talk college memories, sobriety, and fatherhood.

Let’s talk about Nick Offerman’s pussy hat, grieving mothers, and abandonment issues.

Together we face grief, what makes us genuinely sad, self-defense, and what it means to be someone’s “boy” on this week’s episode.

This week we chat about how Emotional Hangs got it's name, the process of considering getting therapy, Kurt's dating history and feelings about soon-to-be-fatherhood, and surviving small talk.

Growth, reaching out to an old friend (Ali Wong), has Kurt found a therapist?, Randy and Brendon are old friends (is nine years old?), how did they meet, when have they crossed the line with each other, what did they do before working at @Midnight - MATT
