"You can't spell comedian without Ian. On that note, do you have a gun and one bullet?"

WHO: Ian Fidance (@ianimal) is a riotously funny comedian, regularly doing sets at the world-famous Comedy Cellar and Gotham Comedy Club. He also used to be a riotous alcoholic.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT: GETTING. FUCKED. UP. Ian and I got into the grit of his addiction journey in Season 1; this time we laugh about the (literal) highs and subsequent very low lows that come with both casual and addictive substance abuse. From getting motorboated by random bartenders to hallucinations to prostitutes, we reveal some of our craziest "war stories" before reading and analyzing the wild ones that YOU submitted!

LESSON LEARNED: Immense pleasure can always be found in pain; the same can be said for pain in pleasure. We all have vices, but sometimes a vice can become a full-blown lifestyle without us even realizing it. It's important to be aware of the line - and ask for help if you need it.

"I'm a tough ass bitch who isn't a slave to triggers from other people, because life is too short and I keep it fuckin' moving."

WHO: Pia Baroncini (@piabaroncini), founder of the Revolve-owned clothing line LPA.

WHAT WE DISCUSS: While Pia's career as a designer isn't particularly "taboo," the vulnerable way she presents herself as a woman of the world online (hilarious, hard-drinking, hard-working, deeply emotional, honest, and flawed) is. We sat on the floor of her bedroom with her horny dog Ciro and talked about everything from being "larger than life," single in New York vs. Los Angeles, and a needy independent to the importance of massive life changes and how curvier girls ALWAYS pull more dudes. A conversation about everything and nothing...just the way I like it.

LESSON LEARNED: Literally, too many to list. This was a bucket list conversation for me with a woman I feel eerily similar to. GO LISTEN.

"I do whatever I want. That's self care to me."

WHO: Mary Beth Barone (@marybethbarone), stand-up comedian.

WHAT WE DISCUSS: MB’s late start to comedy & her reputation as a “dark angel,” the often-unspoken pain of privilege, bisexuality, and Hinge dates from Hell.

LESSON LEARNED: Marching to the beat of your own drum can actually still be frowned upon in creative industries and liberal locations. But, the payoff is immense if you do it.

WHO: Paige Elkington (@myfriendpaige), Instagram comedian and self-professed "Millennial Slasher" - her other jobs include model, writer, podcaster, musician, designer, and activist...

WHAT WE DISCUSS: all things pertaining to the (very) dark side of Instagram, surviving as a a multi-dimensional person in the age of "branding," her iconic viral internet scandals, and the truth about f***ing your way to the top.

LESSON LEARNED: How you see the world is more important than how the world sees you - and seeing yourself is more important than defining yourself.

"You can be a Boss Bitch and also really sad. I contain multitudes...asshole!"

WHO: Matt & Michelle, shock jock vegans and authors of the notorious Thug Kitchen food blog and cookbooks.

WHAT WE DISCUSS: Hilarious, profanity-filled Thug Kitchen has hundreds of thousands of fans (including Gwyneth Paltrow, who put it in the spotlight) and consistently remains on the New York Times and Amazon bestseller lists. But, living loud comes with a price - Matt & Michelle were once very publicly accused of cultural appropriation, and continue to be dismissed by narrow-minded media companies & publishing houses who sometimes go on to steal their ideas. We talk all about how to handle scandal, maintain your personal and creative integrity when it feels like the whole world is against you, America's aversion to vulgar language vs. acceptance of vulgar sexuality, and why the vegan community has such a bad reputation.

LESSON LEARNED: feeling comfortable as an outsider is a lifelong process...even when you become successful because of it.

WHO: Molly Peckler, the world's first "cannabis matchmaker" with a dating service called Highly Devoted (@highlydevoted).

WHAT WE DISCUSS: now that I'm on the ~wrong~ side of 25, I'm becoming more discerning about my former rollercoaster of a love life. So I enlisted "glorified madam" Molly to teach me (and you!) everything we could EVER want to know about the Dos and Don'ts of modern relationships, and all the ways weed can help facilitate the mental, emotional, and sexual connection needed to create them. Then, Molly puts me in the hot seat with a mock version of her new client interview, asking hard-hitting questions about my past mistakes and future desires.

LESSON LEARNED: You can't show up for someone else if you don't know yourself. And the truth of knowing yourself is sometimes cold and hard, but it really does set you free...

WHO: Jonah Reider (@jonahreider), the former infamous "Dorm Room Chef" and current founder of Pith Supper Club.

WHAT WE DISCUSS: our mutual addiction to strangers and how it shapes our work, rejecting routine (but obsessing over organization), and questionable coping mechanisms, including weed. We also do ASMR with a loaf of bread.

LESSON LEARNED: Breaking rules and norms is the only way to have an exceptional life.

WHO: Signe Pierce (@signepierce), a brilliant, boundary-pushing contemporary artist with a notoriously sexy neon aesthetic and conceptual focus on identity in the technological age.

WHAT WE DISCUSS: living in the Matrix, the perks of being "lowbrow," developing & maintaining personal identity, and how to use overt sexuality to communicate intellect (if you want).

LESSON LEARNED: 'Reality' is rarely what it seems - so create your own.

Betty Bloomerz is a sword swallower (!), adored by bookers at world-famous venues like the Coney Island Sideshow & The Box as much as myself. She talks with me one-on-one about developing her unusual skills, being frenemies with her husband (who also swallows weapons), and when it comes to a woman's relationship with her body, why freakshow performers aren't any different from, say, the intermittent fasters in your yoga class. A very special episode to conclude our first season.
