Lance Weiss is a hilarious comedian living in NYC and he's had a very unique road to get here. Based on his motivational Facebook and Twitter posts, you may think someone else is writing his status updates for him, due to his very cynical persona on stage. But Lance is a good guy and wants people to know.

Listen as we talk showing too much interest, being a good person, and having a transgendered dad.

Comedian Amanda Baramki might be a relationship expert, but she wouldn't call herself a dating expert. She's been with her boyfriend 14 years and is not married. She may know how to deal with almost everything in a long-term relationship and her knowledge about them might be more valid since she's had the chance to leave whenever she wanted.

Listen as we cover interacting with female comics, dating a guy forever, and the sadness of obligated head.

Bryson Turner is a bit hard to describe. You might want to call him a intellectual, or maybe an excessive thinker. The point is he has a lot to say and it's pretty damn important. Prior to this conversation, Bryson and Christian didn't have too much of a relationship prior to this conversation, but they quickly realized they had more in common than they expected.

This is a 2-parter! We cover so much, it just couldn't be contained in one episode. Listen as we discuss Patrice O'Neal, bitterness in dating, and sleeping with girls you're supposed to sleep with.
