Your hosts are joined by their second guest ever. Gabe and Gio introduce you to the vivifying and worldly Michelle Roginsky. Michelle lends her warm sense of humor and incisive, curious mind to a wide range of topics such as mass communication, the nature of true compassion, depression, and bicycles!

Find out what's happening in Gio's Now! Or, at least, his Now of a few weeks ago when we recorded this. There's Gio's exciting current artistic projects, fond remembrances of Gabe and Gio's fierce and wonderful sensei, and a lively debate on what exactly constitutes an acting technique. Gabe and Gio have a fundamental disagreement. Feel like weighing in? Email us! [email protected]

This week we are blessed with our very first guest: the thoughtful and oh-so-grounded Kate Franz, Gabe and Gio's former classmate and Gio's OTHER best friend. Dopeness including but not limited to ruminations on the nature of a perfect world, Gio and Kate's fake Dublin honeymoon, and the world premiere of Kate's microfiction (AKA Franz'gments). Can YOU figure out who Gio's been lying to? Spoilers: it's everyone.

Gabe tells us about his time with a church choir when he learned to flip his script. Gabe and Gio discuss religion but reach the limits of their theological knowledge faster than expected. And then, we finally get our first glimpse at their time as mortal enemies. Don't worry, they never killed anybody...in THIS universe...

Sexy Buddha stops by to do what Sexy Buddha does best. Gio is an exposed nerve after dipping his toe into spiritual practice. Gabe is having some profound Abraham Lincoln-related revelations about his identity. In the end, we finally realize the truth: Gabe's mom has all the answers.

The Cosmic Serpent has arrived! Gabe had some bad dreams. Later, the dudes explore what it might mean to be an asshole, and whether or not being an asshole should be considered a handicap. And finally, prepare yourself for an epic tale of baby Gabe and Gio: Shroom Trip, 2010. Downton Abbey spoiler from 13:48 to 14:03!

Gabe is reading "Sex at Dawn" and they can't shut up about it. From there, get ready to start meeting our vibrant cast of characters: Running On Pine Needles and The First Farmer and so many more! As promised last week, Gio invites us to explore his home country. It gets tender.

The most first episode we will ever make! Gio talks about murder. Gabe recommends therapy. Will Gabe and Gio ever get better at spitting righteous fire off the dome? Will Anna Kendrick ever kiss Gio? And, most importantly, will we make Good? It's about time you found out.
