In this week's episode, we are joined by very special guest Aline C Weiller, comedian and author of the upcoming book, Fun: Essays on a Life Embraced. Also, things get weird as the four discuss their confusion on Venmo, the original Lost episode (it was Michael Keaton, Bryan! Duh!), and a stay-at-home mom who decides to put herself back out there in an unexpected way.
