On this week's podcast, sleep is keeping John from getting to sleep at night...yeah you heard that right. Why do we need to sleep? What does our body do while we sleep that makes it such a necessary function? Is there a more fitting question for Ryan to answer today, the podcast's 2nd year anniversary? It's almost as if we planned it this way! (rest assured, we didn't)

Have you bedbugs seen the latest taco bell commercial? Two teenagers dressed in cosplay, standing in a subway station. Suddenly, and inexplicably, one of them goes to Taco Bell?...What the f*** does it mean??? It's keeping John up at night! Dr. Ryan will have to use all his cunning to figure this one out. And to make sure Taco Bell doesn't sue us, we invited on legal representation Zander Weiss to weigh in as well.

There are still so many questions keeping John up at night. But John's a giver. So he selflessly decided to share Ryan's wisdom with all you bedbugs out there. We have two fan submitted questions keeping the bedbugs up at night: "why is my hair starting to gray" and "could I survive drinking my own urine". Ryan will be answering both of them on our first ever "Twin Bed" Episode of John and Ryan's Pillow Talk! If any of you other bedbugs have questions keeping you up at night, send them in to our instagram account johnandryans_pillowtalk. And, if John's feeling generous, Ryan will answer your question next time around!

It's December 23rd and John's in a bit of a tough spot...what the heck should he get his brother-in-law James for Christmas?? After five years of celebrating Christmas together, John's running out of ideas! It's tough to get gifts for adults who make adult money. Ryan's at a bit of a loss as well so we brought in our Christmas Consultant...the man who proved the existence of Santa Claus in last year's Christmas episode...Anthony Gallo! He did his research and he's got all the gift giving tips you bedbugs need this holiday season.

As 2020 comes to close, John can't help but wonder "will there be another roaring 20's"? There are several similarities between the circumstances preceding the 1920's and the circumstances preceding the 2020's. As a saxophone player and swing dancer, John's got a lot riding on this...so we've brought in the big guns, our political correspondent Jesse Nicholas, to answer this week's question. But don't forget, Ryan gets the final verdict!

Just another deceptively complex topic keeping John up at night. What's the deal with earwax? What purpose does it serve? And completely unrelated but...is John a hero??? These questions and more answered by Ryan on this week's exciting entry of John and Ryan's Pillow Talk!

Something's been keeping John up at night...something unusually practical. How does one ask for a raise? City living ain't cheap and John has a mouth to feed! Ryan's been a student his entire life and can't really answer this one for John. So we invited on Nazifa Subah, a strategy analyst at a Fortune 100 company, to teach the bedbugs a thing or two about climbing the corporate ladder.
