Couples Therapy

Father, actor and stand-up Rory Scovel is on this week's episode, and SUCH DEPTHS WE PLUMB!

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...

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!).

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...
