Michelle's favorite way to die turns into a big budget plotline this week as she and Dan cover tipping culture, mansplaining, some HOTEL TENSIONS and seeing if we could maybe become Jane Lynch's favorite pod (vocally). And before you ask YES we spend 20 minutes covering chimp news. We then roll out the red carpet for the finest in entertainment, it's Bonnie Hunt on the pod! Together they talk daytime TV, comedy, Bonnie's beloved mom, Jumanji and TikTok. Watch all 10 episodes of Amber Brown on Apple TV+ now!

It's amazing what a vacation will do, and in Michelle's case, it's made her tan, happy, and unbearable? (Hi, it's Michelle, I wrote that.) Back from Greece and ready to POD, Dan and Mich (hi) recap her Greek adventures including an all too apropos soundtrack, cat faces in Mykonos, and a bikini photo so SHOCKING a tabloid wrote about it. Plus... FUNNY GIRL UPDATES! Then we head DOWN UNDER with Australian comedian and charming superstar Rhys Nicholson whose show Rhys Rhys Rhys is taking the literal world by storm backslash GIGS. Where would YOU live if you were a pigeon? What are malls like in Australia? Porn awards? All these questions barely answered and more in this celebratory return to form ep.

Here's something fabulous from the Midnight Snack archive! Michelle catches up with show-stopping drag queen and actor, the hilarious and electric SHANGELA! These two talk about how they’re skeletal opposites, various run-ins with the iconique Jennifer Hudson, Shangela's incredible tenure at TGI Friday’s, and most importantly... going on a date with PATTI LABELLE as your third wheel. Plus, Michelle and her sidekick Dan sound off about terrible hotels, AirBNB squabbles and an advice column that answers the question "Is it weird to ask my friends for their body parts?" Will Michelle really do anything for a part? Hmm.

Lots to catch up on this week, so fasten your seatbelts! Michelle regales Dan with a Netherlandian odyssey that begins and ends with the pursuit of the perfect gown and meeting a gaggle of Dutch celebs (she thinks). Listen as they dissect an article on the proper etiquette of booing in a theater. Then we are joined by the endlessly talented comedy and podcast icon, Bowen Yang. Michelle picks Bowen’s brain on laughing too loud in restaurants, the fast-paced world of SNL, and why 94% (exactly) of podcasters don’t actually deserve podcasts. You can see Bowen Yang’s acclaimed film Fire Island on Hulu as well as listen to his essential podcast Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers.

Then without further ado, the man, the legend JOHN LITHGOW graces us with his class and presence, where he finally admits to what behavior he hates in restaurants, a shocking subway confrontation involving a single BUTTON, and his exciting new drama The Old Man starring himself and Jeff Bridges streaming now on Hulu.

Energy levels are HIGH beginning to end, as Michelle and Dan try to help one anonymous woman face the world's worst enemy: The passive-aggressive fat-shaming friend. Listen as Mich drains a venti iced Americano and see if you can hear the black swan feathers popping out of her back because that sh*t makes her crazy. The fun only heightens as the brilliant Desus & Mero of late-night Showtime fame hop on to unpack gunt control, airport run-ins, New York's best toilets, vaginal poems (you're not ready) and, most shockingly, Desus' love of LOEHMANNS (!) among 1,000 other topics.
