The meerkats welcome back friend of the pod and one of two virgins we know, Maxim Allen! Your hosts touch upon their awful middle school voicemail messages, why Maxim swears by the green texts, reminisce on the horror of outdoor comedy, and the fierce divisions between furries, scalies, birdies and more.

We're joined this week by Lee Lan. All is covered: Kim Kardashian's career arcs, Lee’s experience finding Indiana, nipple piercing woes, and the secret desire to just go full mormon and try soaking - you didn't hear it from us, if you're ever asked. We also hear from a listener's unreciprocated feelings for an aromatic friend, and someone with synesthesia tells us what our voices sound like! What...

This week the meerkats are joined by an absolute wealth of relatively useless information, the hilarious Michael Abber! A human anachronism, Michael immediately schools Lukas and Gabby on CBS news platforms, hanging out with old ladies at Broadway shows, and the harrowing reason he can no longer wear his favorite hemp pants! A listener gets a series of whirlwind tangents from the meerkats and co....

Mr. and Ms. Meerkats are joined this episode by an unbelievable and hilarious pro comic, Steven Rogers! Gabby can’t remember how age works, Steven brings us a brand new way to think about eyeballs, and Lukas spurs everyone to remember the first time they were rude.

They also enjoy a listener's tale of scaring her nephew with El...

The meerkats continue to bring back guests with returner Chris Shurr, a comedian and ravishing young lady who does NOT know what happens next when they ask you on the street if you’re Jewish.

Listeners seek advice on being an eighth grade “baller” and gaining confidence, plus some unusual facts about meerkat anatomy...

You know it’s gonna be a great episode when the hosts and guests say “what is going on?” multiple times.

Gabby and Lukas get serious: they clear the air on their stance on furries, as you've been waiting for.
