In this episode, we talk about being the favorite child (or not) with regards to Jenny’s salad dressing dance, and Gabe wonders how to gently tell a casual acquaintance that they’ve never seen anything he’s ever done, before we welcome the delightful actor/writer/comedian Aparna Nancherla (Bojack Horseman, Corporate, The Great North). They’ll talk about Aparna and Jenny’s shared stand-up history, what Leonardo Di Caprio learned from skydiving, what qualifies as an Oreo, and the new love in Max’ mom’s life (please keep this under your hat). Plus: a listener wonders “how do I tell my mom her gifts are bad?”

We’re re-releasing our interview with the lovely John Early this week (Eternity, Search Party) to remind you that his movie Maddie’s Secret (which he wrote, directed, and starred in) is in theaters now! In this episode, John claims he’s not in Zootopia 2, but he’s probably lying! We get his thoughts on Heated Rivalry, learn about his crush on a straight boy at summer camp, and discuss which foods we’d most like to eat in the shower. Plus: Jenny remembers the time she recruited Gabe to convince her college astronomy teacher to give her a better grade.

In this episode, the stakes couldn’t be higher as Max has placed a sandwich tantalizingly close just prior to recording, and Jenny has another dangerous bisque bubbling away! Then, we’re joined by the delightful Claudia O’Doherty (Maddie’s Secret, Love, Our Flag Means Death), who tells us what she’s been cooking recently, shuts down any talk of white chocolate, and lists her favorite movies about magic food. Max comes out HARD against short stories (not our fans, the format), and is there REALLY somebody named Eileen Downward? Plus: a question from a listener about several things, including a hot gynecologist.

Max met Tom Cruise. That’s the headline. The tale is epic, Gabe and Jenny are on the edge of their seats. Then, we’re joined by the fantastic comedian/actress/writer Rosebud Baker to talk about reaching out for Justin Bieber, Great Dane puppies, sandwich lawyers, hangover anxieties, and Rosebud’s candid and hilarious new memoir Fully Baked. Plus, a listener’s question boils down to this: We love dogs but…INSIDE the restaurant? Maybe no?

She also shares how it feels to see her hosting style imitated so often, and helps us answer a listener’s question about housesitting pets while naked.

I mean, we’re willing to talk about arthritis, that seems like a fun area, but in this week’s hosts-only episode, we’ll also discuss first semester friends, dance class soundtracks, John Travolta’s berets, fashion scum, and Gabe’s (potentially) round back. Plus, we help a listener with a question about non-vegetarian leftovers. My body is healthy and huge.

Today we have a special treat, Action Movie class is in session and Professor Jon Gabrus has prepared a syllabus! A few weeks ago, Jenny asked Max & Gabe for suggestions to fill in the gaps in her action movie knowledge, and their pal Gabrus rose to the challenge in classic style. But before that, they’ll talk all about moisturizers, tapered football jerseys, adult rugby, and everything Gabrus has learned about health and fitness from hosting the podcast Staying Alive with his best friend Adam Pally. Hey, say hello to your mother for me.

They say don’t meet your heroes, but this episode conclusively proves that if your hero is one Kerri Kenney-Silver (The State, Reno 911, The Four Seasons), then it’s absolutely fine. Kerri joins the group to talk about starting stand-up at age 60 (so a few years out yet, get hyped), her all-girl 90s band Cake-Like, steampunk bar mitzvahs, The State’s long friendship, and to dispense potentially inaccurate information about the moon landing. Plus, a question from a listener about bringing spouses along to friend hangs, and Jenny went to see a whole play.
