This week we talk all about the benefits and pitfalls of group chat with friends including etiquette, structure, when it works and when it does. Then we answer your listener questions including one listener who wants to know how to convince a friend to seek out therapy and another who is tired of unsolicited advice from friends. In the news we talk about how Trump delayed coronavirus vaccine distribution & Ariana Grande’s gift for Katy Perry’s baby. Angela has an awkward encounter at the UPS store when she tries to ship vibrators and Laura attends one of her favorite press events in a longtime: a hilarious and puberty pun-filled Zoom meditation with Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and other comics to launch Big Mouth's new season on Netflix.
