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.

By popular demand, Megan Gailey is BACK! Naomi and Megan used to host the I Love a Lifetime Movie podcast together, and this episode is kind of like that in the sense that Megan is a white woman in peril (er, in the sense that she is a progressive white woman in America?). And of course you know Megan's stand-up and will see her on tour if you live on the east coast, right? And to prep for the show, listen to today's episode 100 times over cuz we've got the patented Couples Therapy Gamut of Emotions for ya! Megan's grade school boyfriend, how she patterned her idea of relationships on her parents, the squirrel that stole her son's banana bread and MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

The first time we met Hannah - at least together - Naomi was figuring out her Netflix half hour, and Hannah graciously gave her some time on a show at the Irvine Improv down in The OC. I went along to try and find the real Seth Cohen and also have some mozzarella sticks at the Irvine Improv (they did not have any). The point is, Hannah was just a delightful person and a hilarious stand-up to boot, and you will find that out for yourself on today's episode! We talk about how a recent break-up thrust Hannah into a new paradigm, we explain what a paradigm is, and Hannah goes into depth about her high school years as a cheerleader! Also, if you're not watching Hacks, you HAVE to, and Naomi even plays herself on the third episode of the new season! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

We've enjoyed Aasif in numerous shows: from his time as a correspondent on The Daily Show to This Way Up to one of Andy's favs Evil (new season starts this Thursday!), but we didn't really know the man behind the actor... until today! That's right, we're talking to star of stage and screen Aasif Mandvi, and call Ron Howard, cuz we get in DEEP about parenthood! Aasif's child was born about three days before the Pandemmy was declared, so we talk all about that first year of parenting, parenting as a kind of therapy, Aasif's marriage and so much more!
