Couples Therapy

Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, being some of our favorite folks, may be the guests that have appeared on the show the most, appearing on the live show numerous, numerous times... but we've never sat down with them for a chat. UNTIL NOW!!! Surely you know the lads from their videos online, from Jordan Klepper's Comedy Central show or from their FORTHCOMING A24 film Fucking Identical Twins starring M...

It's episode 200! And to celebrate, we've invited our favorite friends of the show/friends IRL to drop by and answer one advice question each!

We are lucky to call Sabrina Jalees a friend, and if you don't know her from her stand-up, Human Resources, Carol's Second Act or as a writer for Search Party or Harley Quinn, ooh baby, you are in for a treat! Sabrina takes us through the whole fertility journey her and her wife have been - it's a WILD ride! - and we talk about giving your lover notes, marriage and so much more! PLUS, of course, w...

We met Georgia at a holiday party, and Andy and her and friend of the show Brent Sullivan had a conversation for a LONG TIME that was such fun that Andy was like, "We gotta talk to her on the pod!" You OF COURSE know Georgia from her own podcast My Favorite Murder or from the podcast network she founded Exactly Right, but now you can hear about her first boyfriend who she met at rehab, how sh...

What We Do in the Shadows is one of our couples' shows, so what a joy it was to talk to one of the stars, Harvey Guillén, on today's episode! You might also know Harvey from The Magicians, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Reacher, Human Resources or a dozen of other shows and movies, but now get to know Harvey himself! Hear about his humble beginnings, how he formed friendships even though his famil...

The Natch Beaut podcast's very own Jackie Johnson joins us this week! Maybe you heard us on her show a few weeks ago, maybe you are already fans of Natch Beaut, but either way, you're in for an hour of pure fun! We talk about Jackie's relaysh history, which means discussing her less-than-savory exes, including a very less-than-savory ex-husband, but the story doesn't end there because Jackie is ma...

We met Zoe Lister-Jones years ago at a party (or maybe on Facebook???), and she's just an absolute delight! Maybe you know her, like we did, from the great Jon Glaser show Delocated? Or from her indie films like Band Aid or How It Ends? Or from Whitney or New Girl or Life In Pieces? Well, now you can hear all about growing up in Brooklyn as the daughter of two struggling artists, how she went from...

The brilliant DeWanda Wise in our guest this week, and baby, we should pay her to become *our* therapist! If you don't know DeWanda, she was the titular "she" in She's Gotta Have It, and you've seen her in everything from Underground to Fatherhood to the forthcoming Jurassic World Dominion (Eeee!). Anyway, her parents weren't kidding when they gifted DeWanda her surname, and on this episode, we he...

Father, actor and stand-up Rory Scovel is on this week's episode, and SUCH DEPTHS WE PLUMB! Rory is a bitboi at heart, but we get into his heart on everything from painting to fatherhood to marriage and so much... wait, you know Rory, right? You've seen his Netflix special? Or his wonderful show Robbie (seriously, binge it, it's great!)? Or on the Apple TV show Physical? Well, either way, we've go...

Although today's guest is the amiable Alyssa Mastromonaco - co-host of the Crooked Media podcast Hysteria (which Naomi is on a lot) and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations during the Obama administration - we're putting aside the political chat to find out about the Washington DC dating scene! Hear how Alyssa met her husband, how DC friendships are transactional as he...

We've known River for a while, but it was over the pandemic that our friendliness truly blossomed into a friendship! If you haven't heard his previous episode, get on that toute de suite, but the tl;dr version is that RIver is a wonderful writer, actor and stand-up, who you've seen/heard on shows like Good Trouble and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts and ESPECIALLY his BRAND NEW stand-up special o...

The wonderful Jeffery Self joins us today for an episode full of southern fried (is that a phrase?) fun!

We talk about growing up in the south, how he met his husband and a not-...

We met Nori at a show she and Naomi were on at Largo a few years ago, and thought she was rad from moment one! You might know Nori as a stand-up (if you live in LA you *must* go see Icons Only, the monthly comedy show she co-hosts!) and a writer (The Disney+ show Raven's Home), but now find out about her life growing up in Christian County, Kentucky; her days playing shofar; and as always, we do a...

Our old friend Jeff Hiller joins us today, and not only are we excited to talk to him but we are SO SO SO EXCITED for his new show on HBO Somebody Somewhere, which just debuted last night (we saw it; it's GREAT!). If you frequented UCB-NY at all during its heyday, you definitely know Jeff, but maybe you've also seen him on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Nightcap or on shows like 30 Rock, Com...

Our dear friend Sasheer has been on the live version of the show with Nicole a few years ago, but we've never sat down with her over Zoom (thanks, Omicron!) and answered listener advice questions before... UNTIL NOW! ANd of course, you know Sasheer from SNL, Home Economics, Woke and a ton of other things, including her podcast with the aforementioned Nicole Byer, Best Friends, but now you get to h...

Megan Gailey's a real one! Perhaps you've seen her Comedy Central Half Hour or on the show she writes for Pause with Sam Jay? Or maybe you've heard her on the podcast she and Naomi do I Love a Lifetime Movie??? Regardless, you're gonna love her after today's episode! We get into her history of dating athletes, the subtle depths of her white womanhood and of course, how she had to disinvite one of...

I think we met Janelle when she and Naomi were Just For Laughs New Faces, like, 5 or so years ago, but regardless, this is our first time getting to KNOW Janelle, and what a joy it is! Of course you know her from Black Monday, Abbott Elementary and her and Naomi's half hour stand-up sets in THE STANDUPS SEASON 3 (debuting WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 29TH 2021 on Netflix!!!). But now you can hear Janelle's...

Back in the spring, we produced a number of online shows as a way to raise funds for Mabel's VERY EXPENSIVE chemotherapy, and up until now, outside of a few clips we posted on our Insta, you HAD TO BE THERE! But now, as a holiday gift to YOU, our dear listeners, we thought we'd release the audio for the Couples Therapy Quarantine Party: Chemotherapy Mabeline Party, which we did on May 22nd th...

Brian Simpson is a new friend, but we think the world of him. We met him when he and Naomi taped their Netflix specials together (As part of season 3 of The Standups debuting December 29th!!!), and he was a nice and warm dude, and as we found out later, also funny as all get out! Brian was also named as one of Vulture's "Comedians You Should and Will Know" this year, and after you hear him on...

We've known Jena for years, but it's really in Quar that we became true pals with her, and... wait, you surely know Jena Friedman, right? Of Adult Swim's Soft Focus?

She's great, and on today's episode, we talk a lot about being a private public person and some of the experie...

Well, this is just a delight! Ego Nwodim of SNL (that is Saturday Night Live for the acronym-averse) is on the show today (or if, like Andy, you listen to a million podcasts, maybe you've heard her hilarious characters on Comedy Bang Bang), and she's a real peach! Preach! We talk everything from anxiety to IBS to Ego's first real boyfriend, and as usual, a lot of mozzarella stick talk. Wait, "as u...

George Civeris and Sam Taggart, yes! You know them from their faboo podcast StraightioLab and maybe you know George as an editor at Gawker or as a Just for Laughs New Face? And maybe you've seen Sam pop up on Ziwe or Los Espookys? Well, now you get to hear them like you've NEVER (maybe) heard them before! We ask the question, "Are psychos fun?" And of course discuss sincere irony and dissect...

We've known Dan and Kelly for over a decade at this point, but on this episode, as we learn, did we *really* know them?? We met both of them doing UCB in NYC, but *you* might know Dan from his writing work on AP Bio, Great News, Speechless, Comedy Bang Bang and many other shows or Kelly from her comedy videos or appearances on shows like Sunnyside or Search Party or her podcast What Are You I...
