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 hear about her academic dating style, her short courtship to her husband, how they navigate their relationship in the business of show, and so much more! PLUS, of course, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter! Also, support the show on Patreon or with a t-shirt (or a Jewboo shirt) and watch us every once in a while on Twitch or check out clips on YouTube! Hosted on Acast.

The first time we met Hannah - at least together - Naomi was figuring out her Netflix half hour, and Hannah graciously gave her some time on a show at the Irvine Improv down in The OC. I went along to try and find the real Seth Cohen and also have some mozzarella sticks at the Irvine Improv (they did not have any). The point is, Hannah was just a delightful person and a hilarious stand-up to boot, and you will find that out for yourself on today's episode! We talk about how a recent break-up thrust Hannah into a new paradigm, we explain what a paradigm is, and Hannah goes into depth about her high school years as a cheerleader! Also, if you're not watching Hacks, you HAVE to, and Naomi even plays herself on the third episode of the new season! 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!

We've enjoyed Aasif in numerous shows: from his time as a correspondent on The Daily Show to This Way Up to one of Andy's favs Evil (new season starts this Thursday!), but we didn't really know the man behind the actor... until today! That's right, we're talking to star of stage and screen Aasif Mandvi, and call Ron Howard, cuz we get in DEEP about parenthood! Aasif's child was born about three days before the Pandemmy was declared, so we talk all about that first year of parenting, parenting as a kind of therapy, Aasif's marriage and so much more! 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!

Aasif Mandvi

We started following Dr. Raven Baxter AKA Dr. Raven the Science Maven because she's researching Long Coco, but that just introduced us to the ever-expanding world of this engaging multi award-winning molecular biologist and science communicator! Maybe you've heard one of her viral rap songs about science or perhaps you've heard her brand-new science The Science of Life! Either way, we get in deep this week about many non-science topics such as how she met and eventually left her (now) ex-husband, dating in DC, why high school Science Olympiad was too nerdy even for her, diss tracks for your bully and MORE! 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!

Dr. Raven the Science Maven

Our pal Bryan Safi joins us again this week, folks, and it's a goddamn delight! With our various jobs and 300 vet appointments a week, we haven't had a lot of time to socialize lately, so when we were thinking of people we wanted to have on the show, one of our main thoughts was: "Who do we want to catch up with?," and Bryan was top of that list! And of course, you know Bryan from the podcasts Ask Ronna, Attitudes! and No Autographs, Please and from the Fox show 9-1-1, and on today's episode we go *behind the curtain* and get in deep! We talk about how Bryan stopped talking and ultimately reconciled with his parents, how the people in his life match up with the characters in The Neverending Story, all the deets about his new beau and so much MORE! 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!

Bryan Safi Returns

We met Mekki casually around Los Angeles, and kinda knew him, but after today's episode, he's become one of our favs! Now, surely you know Mekki from The Sex Lives of College Girls or Jury Duty or maybe you read some Hollyweird insider article about him being on the show Naomi's currently writing for, St. Denis Medical, but gosh darnit, until you hear today's episode, you don't *know* Mekki! (Unless you are friends with him already, obvi). Chatting about his Moroccan Muslim mother leads us into a discussion about how his dad "hoodwinked" her into moving to a small Pennsylvania town, some of the difficult familial issues that Mekki has dealt with his entire life, and how the Quar-phase of the pandemic gave him the space to start dealing with these things. And SO MUCH MORE! 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!
