LaLa is a dancer, performer and *former* drag queen who was on RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 and Drag Race All Stars season eight, and the *former* part is where it gets interesting. A mere 24 hours before sitting down with LaLa, he announced his retirement from drag, so we *have* to delve into that. What it means to no longer practice the art that brought you notoriety, the disorienting nature of fame, and also being in a long distance relaysh with someone in... Pittsburgh?!? And so much more, including Andy making 900 references to 1980s pop stars! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Tamberla Perry

We were fans of Tamberla's from such shows as The Good Fight and Bosch and of course, she was in our favorite film of 2023, They Cloned Tyrone, so we were psyched to sit down with her while she was on a whirlwind press tour for her new show Brilliant Minds on NBC/Peacock (along with a certain Ms. Naomi's show St. Denis Medical!), and buddy, do we get into it! Tamberla and her husband have been together for a long, long time, and we find out the story of how they went from friends to lovers against the backdrop of the Chicago theater scene and how a, uh, let's say, "stalker-type" individual inserted himself in the burgeoning relaysh... and MUCH, MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Wendi McLendon-Covey Returns

With NBC's St. Denis Medical tearing up the charts *and* our hearts, we had to have Wendi back on the show. Even if your girl Naomi wasn't writing for the show, you know we love us some Wendi and would watch what is FOR SURE the best new sitcom out there! (And why not check out her co-star Mekki on a previous episode???) Now, of course you also know Wendi from Reno 911!, Bridesmaids, The Goldbergs and tons of other stuff, but on today's episode, we get in deep about her therapeutic breakthroughs, love of attention, her religious upbringing and a surprise cameo by a cat with a present. And SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Matt Rogers Returns

Matt's an old pal, and he's been on the show a bunch of times both on his own and with Bowen, and especially last time, we did the "Couples Therapy thing", so this time, we thought we'd ask Matt about the two years since his last appearance. Now Matt's been having what we'll call "An Ascent", but Matt tells us it doesn't feel like that from the inside. Color us intrigued! We spend a lot of time discussing what it feels like when your self-image has to catch up to your public persona, how this affects your romantic life and so much more. Matt's genuinely the best, and you HAVE to catch him on his Prince of Christmas tour this December AND watch him on the new Netflix show No Good Deed starting December 12th! And of course, listen to Las Culturistas! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Allison Raskin

We kind of knew *of* Allison before sitting down with her on today's episode, but we didn't *know* Allison and boy oh boy are we glad we got to because she's the bee's knees! Now, you all probably know of Allison Raskin from her YouTube channel Just Between Us with her comedy partner Gabe Dunn (with whom she's also written several books) or from her two great books Over-Thinking About You and her latest I Do (I Think)! But even if this is your first time meeting her, strap in for some fun and sage advice! Allison walks us through how a devastating break-up led to her meeting her husband, how dealing with mental health issues since childhood has affected her romantic life, some science behind what's actually helpful in therapy and SO MUCH MORE!

Gianmarco Soresi

Taped weeks and weeks ago before the bottom fell out of our (albeit, already-failing) democracy, stand-up Gianmarco Soresi joins us from road, doing a weekend in Ohio. Now you may know Gianmarco from his stand-up, either in person or online or maybe even from his Netflix set as part of the Verified series, or from his podcast The Downside, but even if you don't know him at all, you will fall in love after today's ep! While we spend the first few minutes feeling each other out - are we being serious? are we just goofing? are we really going to talk about doing stand-up on TikTok? - we quickly get into the good stuff: why Gianmarco doesn't want to get married, how he met his girlfriend in lockdown, estranged dads and SO MUCH MORE!

AsapSCIENCE

Our podcast parent Acast thought we might get along swimmingly with the boys of AsapSCIENCE, so they suggested a crossover, and buddy, were they ever right! Taped a few weeks ago before the US dropped off a cliff (maybe you can hear the light in our voices?), on today's episode, we're talking to couple and science educators Mitch Moffit and Greg Brown! Now, you might know Greg and Mitch from their hit YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE or from their wonderful podcast Sidenote (check us out on a recent ep!). Well, even if this is your first time meeting the duo, you're in for a treat! We get into how they met in college, how Mitch's time on the reality show Big Brother got *Greg* (and eventually Mitch himself) into therapy, going on dates with a conversation app and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Markie Post, Niles!

After this week, and the US's decision to embrace whatever form of fascism the GOP is offering, you, dear listener, are perhaps feeling as shitty as we are. Sleeplessness. Doom scrolling. Brownies for breakfast. While this is not a balm for our political situation, we thought, "Why don't we record a bonus episode that will both distract us for an hour and also help the listeners take a break from that Germany 1933 feeling." So we offer to you four advice questions, some of which we've thought might be more difficult to answer with a guest. Hopefully, this gives you some slight reprieve... it was fun to record even though we had about four hours of sleep between the two of us!

A testament: there are only 2 non-positive opinions you’ll see listed here, from 2 people who are confused about: 1. This show not suiting its parent brand - it’s…not a part of that brand at all! 2. Whether this show is a blatant copy of another show with the same name - this show preceded that show!! As such, I am gonna keep trying to resubmit this until it gets accepted…
Slug Life

26/07/2023

Charley&Gus

Hi! Wonderful podcast, wonderful people, wonderful animals. Let’s get into the story. Two years ago my brother-in-law married his lovely wife in a beautiful countryside manor in England. Just a note, I’m from the US but now live in England because of my English husband. Another note, there are a lot of slugs here. I’ve never really seen slugs back home (San Diego), but these things are everywhere here - I even found one in my hair once. Back to the story. The wedding was absolutely lovely and loads of fun, and was a very typical English do - lots and lots of drinks and food and dancing once everyone was drunk enough to no longer be embarrassed to have fun. Love was in the air infecting us all, especially between the bride’s best friend and her husband. On this big country estate there were a couple beautiful gardens, one more secluded than the other (romantic). It was full of flowers, greenery and quaint British wildlife like hedgehogs, robins and butterflies (very romantic). And lots and lots of slugs. The couple decided that this was the place they needed to express some intimacy - ie a blow job (cringe gross sorry) - once the wedding started winding down around midnight. They finished up, but the friend had a terrible realisation - she found a slug in her MOUTH. How long was it in there? Did she realise before or during that it was there but decided to power through? How did it wind up in her mouth in the first place? How did she not realise before? All of these questions and more are still on my mind 2 years later. I don’t know her well enough to ask about that night, but I hope for her sake that she’s been more careful.
