Cam and Rhea talk ghosts, angels and cruise eggs. Sets from Lisa Best, Adam Cayton-Holland, Dave Ross, Melanie Maras and Howard Kremer.

"Not A Girl, Not Yet A Dead Dog" Writer, comedian, and two-time MothStorySLAM winner, Melanie Maras brought her adorable (and near-death) Frenchie, Maddie along for a discussion about Melanie's roots and Maddie's toots. Plus we all crossed our fingers that Maddie makes it through the episode. Monique also befriends a girl named "Gus" while hanging out with the dogs in the neighborhood.

Next weekend in LA, Funny Women Fest is going to celebrate females in comedy through four days of sketch, standup, storytelling, improv, and more. So to celebrate, here are three stories from our archive featuring three women who will be featured at Funny Women Fest. Erin McGown catches her parents having sex. Rachel Germaine puts the 'pube' in puberty. And Melanie Maras loses her flip phone, and finds a weirdo. Can you remember who the liar was?

This week, Josh brings back his sometimes co-host Cassandra. If you love Cassandra, let us know and we’ll try to coax her back into the studio. If you don’t love Cassandra, what’s wrong with you? We’re not exactly sure what you’re supposed to learn from this episode. You definitely will NOT get step-by-step instructions for becoming a dominatrix. Or a recipe for making fake semen. Oh, we talk about sex a lot in this show. Fitting, because our guest is Melanie Maras, host of YouTube’s “Male Kama Sutra” and the one woman behind the one-woman show “Red Flag,” both of which present her own funny takes on sex and relationships. Melanie is also a finalist in the Laugh Factory’s Funniest Person in the World competition, representing Indonesia, even though she lives in LA. She says she’s Indonesian, but we think she might just be saying that to be funny. We do hope you’ll learn some things about finding your own unique voice, about testing your boundaries, and about accomplishing more than you think you can. That, plus a new position called the jelly donut. It’s nasty. EDM Track of the Week: https://soundcloud.com/firstedition/kyle-watson-watermelons-premiere
