 It's been too long since actor, host, comic and woodworker Paul Gilmartin (The Mental Illness Happy Hour) has been on the show and we have a ton to catch up on. We discuss his divorce, boundaries, recovery, standup, an incredibly dark episode of MIHH, Dinner and a Movie, massage parlors, the urge to chat and more. Plus we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

Comedy Interviews

Lizzy Cooperman and Ashley Ray are here and now I have a whole list of things I need to watch and read. Lizzy can't stop watching the We Are The World documentary (The Greatest Night in Pop) and Ashley just read an insane article. Lizzy's having a jagged day and discussion of passive-aggressive comments reminds her of a truly vile thing someone said to her. Ashley has packing down to a science and I need to talk about hormones again. Daniel has a new invention and Jeff Fox appreciates you. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY!

Lizzy's Jagged Day, Ashley's Toiletry Bag, Youngest Child Eating Syndrome
