Erin Gibson

We're big Attitudes! fans over here at Couples Therapy HQ - it's especially been helping us through some difficult times - so we lured Attitudes! co-host and TV writer (Chicken Sisters, Tiny Toons Looniversity) Erin Gibson onto the show with the promise of talking about Slow Horses, but that quickly falls to the wayside as Erin takes us through the rise and fall of her first marriage, how they met, how they ended, and all the nooks and crannies of the relaysh, and as much as we love Slow Horses, we were too into Erin's life to just talk about one of the last few prestige shows streaming! Erin also talks to us about the Santa Fe aesthetic, why people should just give marriage a shot 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!

Hoodo Hersi

The algorithm is almost always piping dumb shit into our feeds, but EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE we get some fun clips that lead us to discover someone new to us. So we must thank the algorithm for introducing us to the wonderful Hoodo Hersi! Hoodo is a New York-based stand-up and writer (she writes on Ramy's Amazon cartoon #1 Happy Family USA) and host of the YouTube show That's So Haram!. And on today's show, we go deep into her therapeutic journey, which started when she worked for Canada's Most Racist School. We talk about how she dealt with that - including an absolutely insane teaching assistant - as well as with family issues, and Hoodo gives us her tips for online dating with the goal of finding a partner. 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!

Naomi and Andy in "Two Naps and Zero Showers"

Life has been lifin', folks! I'm sure we'll discuss what that means exactly on a future episode, but just know that it's been beating us both down and leaving us drained and de-brained! And also a guest had trouble with their wi-fi, so we decided to record a "Just Us" episode. In this EXCITING INSTALLMENT, we delve into the various animal sounds that plague us from outside our place, come up with The Almanac of Forgotten Facts - a book idea that will surely catch the publishing world on fire, Andy gives an update on his nutritionist/existentialist journey, and we answer YOUR advice questions about virtual therapy, sibling's real estate purchases and what to do when your partner dresses like shit! All this and MORE! 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!

Nori Reed Returns

*This* is why we podcast! Friend of the show/Friend IRL Nori Reed returns for a frank discussion of how fucked up the current political climate is, but folks, what we love about Nori and about the vibe of the show is that we can move from a very silly joke into a very serious discussion like *snaps fingers*. Now, you know Nori from her previous appearances on the show, from her stand-up or as a writer on After Midnight and Raven's Home. Her writing on the latter led to a GLAAD Award and Emmy Award Nomination! On today's episode, we have a real talk about when to flee a country descending into authoritarianism, why you should defend the most vulnerable people in your country, estrogen alternatives, plus we ask, "Are cats communists?", find out how Nori is feeding her soul, and someone brings up piss... and it's *not* Andy?!?

But even if this is your first time meeting Francesca, strap in! We come out of the gate hot and ask why she wanted to have children. Then we get the tale of how she met and divorced her ex-husband, how she met her second husband and so much more, including learning about Grimace and Morning DJ Howard Zinn!

Claire Saffitz

It seems like a lot of people's experience of the internet has been being radicalized into white nationalism. I mean, not us. Obvi. It seems like our experience has been cute animal videos, peer-reviewed scientific papers about Covid and finding cool people to talk to on the show serendipitously, and that's what today's episode is! A random google search "Can I make homemade Skittles?" led me to wonderful chef and YouTube culinarian Claire Saffitz! Claire is a former contributing editor to Bon Appetit and was the star of their online series Gourmet Makes. Since leaving them, Claire has started her own YouTube Channel and written books like Dessert Person and What's For Dessert, and on today's ep, we get THERAPEUTIC! We talk about how becoming a parent has brought up control issues Claire thought she had already dealt with, her favorite fictional therapist, problems with perfectionism, how she met her husband and SO MUCH MORE!

Catherine hosts the online show Pretty Gay, which features guests like Liv Hewson, E.R. Fightmaster, Cameron Esposito and many others who you've heard on THIS VERY SHOW, on a kind of interview date with Catherine. It's one of the few things Instagram has injected into our feed that we enjoy, and now we're turning the interviewing tables on *Catherine*!

Holmes

Holy hell did we have a blast with Holmes! Now you know Holmes from Welcome to Flatch, Another Simple Favor, Hacks and Overcompensating, and on today's episode we do a deep dive into her lovelife, going back to the tale of her first love, how stopping drinking is helping her on dates and Holmes makes an impassioned plea that she is ready to find her person! All this and some impulsive, expensive decisions, getting fiscally exploited in ol' Hollyweird and SO MUCH MORE! You will enjoy bathing in Holmes' vibe as much as we did... we guarantee! (though not legally, I suppose). 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!
