We only knew Ryan Ken from their online presence, so what an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT it was to chat and find out they are an A+ human being to boot! Maybe that's how you know Ryan, from their videos, or perhaps you know them as a writer on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Regardless, you are going to get to know them from today's episode! We talk about growing up as an adultified kid, how acting changed Ryan's life, coming to know themselves and becoming freer, and how this all reverberated into all of their relationships, both familial and romantic. PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

We've enjoyed Aasif in numerous shows: from his time as a correspondent on The Daily Show to This Way Up to one of Andy's favs Evil (new season starts this Thursday!), but we didn't really know the man behind the actor... until today! That's right, we're talking to star of stage and screen Aasif Mandvi, and call Ron Howard, cuz we get in DEEP about parenthood! Aasif's child was born about three days before the Pandemmy was declared, so we talk all about that first year of parenting, parenting as a kind of therapy, Aasif's marriage and so much more!

Aasif Mandvi

We started following Dr. Raven Baxter AKA Dr. Raven the Science Maven because she's researching Long Coco, but that just introduced us to the ever-expanding world of this engaging multi award-winning molecular biologist and science communicator! Maybe you've heard one of her viral rap songs about science or perhaps you've heard her brand-new science The Science of Life! Either way, we get in deep this week about many non-science topics such as how she met and eventually left her (now) ex-husband, dating in DC, why high school Science Olympiad was too nerdy even for her, diss tracks for your bully and MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Dr. Raven the Science Maven

Our pal Bryan Safi joins us again this week, folks, and it's a goddamn delight! With our various jobs and 300 vet appointments a week, we haven't had a lot of time to socialize lately, so when we were thinking of people we wanted to have on the show, one of our main thoughts was: "Who do we want to catch up with?," and Bryan was top of that list! And of course, you know Bryan from the podcasts Ask Ronna, Attitudes! and No Autographs, Please and from the Fox show 9-1-1, and on today's episode we go *behind the curtain* and get in deep! We talk about how Bryan stopped talking and ultimately reconciled with his parents, how the people in his life match up with the characters in The Neverending Story, all the deets about his new beau and so much MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Bryan Safi Returns

We met Mekki casually around Los Angeles, and kinda knew him, but after today's episode, he's become one of our favs! Now, surely you know Mekki from The Sex Lives of College Girls or Jury Duty or maybe you read some Hollyweird insider article about him being on the show Naomi's currently writing for, St. Denis Medical, but gosh darnit, until you hear today's episode, you don't *know* Mekki! (Unless you are friends with him already, obvi). Chatting about his Moroccan Muslim mother leads us into a discussion about how his dad "hoodwinked" her into moving to a small Pennsylvania town, some of the difficult familial issues that Mekki has dealt with his entire life, and how the Quar-phase of the pandemic gave him the space to start dealing with these things. And SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Mekki Leeper

Holy heck do we have fun with Ally Maki on today's episode! Now you obviously know Ally from Shortcomings and The Big Door Prize or from just about 1000 other things... Hacks, Toy Story 4, Wrecked, Cloak & Dagger, but boy oh boy, you don't *know* Ally until you hear our chat! An innocuous question about Ally's Wikipedia page leads us down a rabbit hole of how she lived in an early-aughts version of a Hype House 1000 miles away from her family, and, well, we do talk about other stuff, like therapy as per uzshe, but really Ally goes in depth into her days as one of THE KIDS IN THE HOUSE!
