We've been fans of Erinn's going all the way back to Childrens Hospital, which *surely* you've seen! If not, you might have seen Erinn Hayes show up in some of the best shows of the last 20 years including Parks and Rec, The Goldbergs, Transparent, New Girl, Parenthood, Will & Grace and so many others! And the entire season of her latest show It's Not Like That is now streaming on Prime! We've met Erinn a few times around ol' Hollyweird, but on today's episode, we really get to know her! Erinn tells us about meeting her husband in high school, how they've made it work for 22 years of marriage, some things she learned about herself when she became a parent, how Mr. Hollywood wrote her a prescription for therapy, and of course, which self-improvement organization is the one that screams at you: EST or Landmark!

We love David Gborie's stand-up, we love him and friend of the show/friend IRL Langston Kerman's podcast My Momma Told Me as well as his other podcast All Fantasy Everything, and we love the sadly canceled cartoon Royal Crackers that David was a voice actor on, and on today's episode, we're chopping it up with David about so many things! Moving back to Colorado and meeting his now wife, being chill vs. being unflappable, his weight loss journey and the GLP-1 of it all, how advice he gets from friends is really just advice he gets from podcasts he listens to, getting into therapy and then ghosting his therapist, making adult decisions, and of course, which mainstream brand will start making fascist ads first... will it be M&Ms???

We've been fans of Murray Bartlett's for years, so it was an absolute delight to talk to him on this week's EXQUISITE episode! Now you know Murray from a million things, as the Emmy Award-winning supporting actor from The White Lotus, as well as from The Last of Us, Welcome to Chippendales, Looking, Nine Perfect Strangers and so much more including the wonderful Apple TV+ show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (starring former guest Tatiana Maslany!), which just finished its first season! This is just a small sampling of Murray's CV, but today we're getting to know the real person behind the roles, and folks, he's a joy! We talk about Perth in the 1980s, moving across Australia to live with his first boyfriend, acting as a doorway to flawed self-perception as well as therapy as a tool to fix one's perception of oneself, and SO MUCH MORE!

Roshan Sethi is back for a solo ep, baby! That's right, you remember Roshan from when he was on last year with his paramour Karan, or maybe you know him as the co-creator of Fox's The Resident or as the director of one of the best films of last year A Nice Indian Boy or perhaps as a working oncologist or maybe as the author of the BRAND-NEW novel The Simp, available now from Simon & Schuster! Well, even if this is your first time meeting Roshan, strap in for a HIGH-OCTANE 75 minutes of FAST and FURIOUS talk about how racist Hollywood (in general) is and how it would rather lose money as a business than be more open. Plus, we hear about Roshan's high school days, what being a doctor has taught him about life, how Hollywood gets doctoring wrong, and of course, the origin story of Splinter, Roshan's MCAT score and the hot Hollywood goss of who in the biz has a higher score than him!

We start out talking about the dissolution of his marriage which MIke alludes to in the song "The Black Mirror Episode" from his fantastic 2020 album "Anime, Trauma and Divorce" and then talk about how Mike started therapy in college, his post-mariage lovelife, his cool and calm demeanor, what hardtack is and how that's a metaphor for Mike's emotions, and of course, the Silverhawks's Copper Kidd!

Zach Noe Tower's a wonderful pal and a wonderful stand-up, so when we saw he was on the whistle stop tour promoting his new special Twink Death, we had to have him back on the show! Now Zach was last on the pod three years ago, so we catch up on what has changed in his life since then. Where is he when it comes to sides vs. the main course? Where is he in his romantic life? Zach tells us about a recent meet cute that is as close to erotica as this show gets! We also talk recovery, how Zach got sober, and is there any hope for us two, childless people to get our lives in order? All this plus: What are challenge coins?

It's Opey Olagbaju time! We met Opey when Naomi did stand-up on the wonderful, canceled-too-soon New Negroes show and are just delighted by him! Opey was recently showcased by Netflix as part of The Shortlist, was one of Time Out Magazine’s ''Favorite Comedians on the Rise" last year, was a New Face at Just for Laughs, and has generally accrued all the accolades a stand-up can get in the first half of their career. Add to that writing for shows like I Love You, America, Close Enough and Bob Hearts Abishola, and baby, you got a crock pot brimming with credits! But have those things made Opey *happy*? We talk about that on today's episode, on the existential issues in showbiz, how therapy helps with them, Opey's fear (singular!) and vulnerabilities and of course we pitch some ideas for Nollywood! 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!
