Wendy Molyneux and Jordan Morris are here, fresh from the front lines of the WGA strike. Daniel has injured his eye in a way that you have to hear to believe.

Author Tara Schuster is on the podcast to talk about Glow In the F*cking Dark, the follow up to the hugely successful Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies. I felt an instant connection with her, which I kinda of suspected I would from her books, but then I sort of think maybe a lot of people do since she's extremely open, vulnerable and bright. That being said there were two moments where I got chills...

Joel Stein has returned and we're learning how to speak his language. Robin Shorr is here with a revelation about feet. I've stumbled upon a tongue twister and there's some light talk of true crime, people who travel with the Ren Faire (rennies), Sam the Butcher, Marilyn Kagan, cohabitation sex and more.

RJ City , Dalton Castle and Robin Shorr are here in person and nothing is off limits. RJ has a sex question for everyone and it isn't even about the mortifying thing he said to a gal pal at a hotel. That comment was also about sex and Robin and I are still dying a little inside. Did that sentence make sense? Does it make sense that Dalton would occasionally sleep "like a pencil" back in his dating...

Emily Fleming is here for the first time, fresh from working the door at what I'm pretty sure is a modern-day rave. No one gets my "exchange an egg" reference, not even Jordan Morris who is also here and doesn't have big lunch energy (he's a dinner dude). Daniel and I went to dinner the previous night and a perplexing thing kept happening and I need to talk about it. Was it because of the two tart...

Also he interviewed Leonardo DiCaprio and now ol' LDC hates him and I need to know more about this. Robin is here and you can name any TV show and she pretty much knows everything about it.

Owen joined me at the top to explain why you're hearing this delightful throwback, which originally aired June 17, 2012 instead of the new episode I was planning. He even regales you with a song!

Tod Perry is here in person and can you believe this is the first time we're meeting in person after a year plus of hosting a podcast together? Renee Colvert is also here and she's worried her new home-among-the-horses is going to make her become weird. I'm a little confused about railroad ties and tortoise excrement and I want to know if everyone's childhood is littered with hard truths. Tony chi...
