We talk a LOT about food in this episode. Which might not be the *most* Halloween-y thing we could have done. But a lot of it is about foods we don't like, so maybe that works. Look oooouuuut...for ollllliiiiivves!

Don’t tell Tony Shalhoub about this episode, seriously. Even if you have his number and can totally text him to tell him how hilarious and interesting and creative it is, don’t do it! Even if you’re going over to his house for tea later and he asks for recommendations on new and insightful podcasts. DON'T DO IT! Also, it’s Opposite Day.

Our guest this week opted to remain partially anonymous, which we totally don’t find suspicious at all. Maybe Mariah’s not even her real name. Maybe it’s Phramanda. Or Chourtney. The world will never know. (Unless the world listens to the part of the episode where David introduces the guest)

David gets in a fight with his therapist, Andy naps in midtown, and Megan is bursting with questions. We also consider adding new segments like “Describe that Drink”, “Let’s Look at a Website”, and “Andy’s Cheese Corner”, which all translate soooooo well to a non-visual medium.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!! Brandon Monokian IS Theatre Critic Trump on Twitter. If you don’t know what that is, consider this whole episode an advertisement for that Twitter account, because while we *didn’t* talk about it for an hour, but we absolutely *could have*. Apologies to any non-Equity actors who may be ridiculed during this podcast.

This is a divisive episode for many reasons. Not only does George Abud think the concept of success is “bullshit” (his words!), but the audio’s also…kind of weird. So. Listen at your own peril.

What happens when an unflappably yogic source of healing energy comes up against a completely flappable, half-drunk podcast host? Only this episode will tell. Also, Megan Greener guest co-hosts, and we hope you like her, but not as much as you usually like Bessie, or else Bessie's going to cry.
