The Meerkats are joined by Caleb Clark, forever known to the public as "his mom's favorite son." They discuss his experience in the fashion industry prior to starting standup, that time in high school he took a Korean exchange student to black church, reminisce on the great triumphs of Queen Latifah. Stick it out to the end to hear them respond to listeners' woes on a work-related love triangle and internet stalking.

The Meerkats are joined this week by comedian Bailey Pope. She gives the lowdown on the wild and crazy world of hairstyling, including the science of different hair types, how stylists work to serve different identities, and hearing secrets at the salon. Bailey also dishes on her own childhood and transition, her experience performing in the year of the roast battle, and of course, addresses Gabby’s continued hatred and oppression toward women. Listener submissions hold some amazing typos and self-perception corner becomes “are you my mommy” corner!

The meerkats are back! After an extended hiatus (Jesus, Gabby, how long was your vacation) your meerkats reconnect and discuss all that's gone on in their lives since last they recorded an episode. They play the game: "which human rights would you give up first?", discuss the enviable lifestyle of the phone-based dominatrix, and dream up a VERY different version of West Side Story.

The meerkats left no stone unturned with comedian David Dobbins, discussing world domination, the complex world of telemarketing, asymptomatic elephantiasis and much more! Listeners bring in fears of being too sensitive and of “bri ish pee pole,” and self-perception corner brings a spirited debate on whether it’s okay to be smart (lesson learned: NEVER READ)

This episode was recorded before our hiatus but because, and we're dumb-dumbs, it's been posted 2 weeks later. Anyway - Lukas reminisces on his experience re-entering the country after going to the UK for Christmas, Gabby reminisces on her seminal performance as Buffalo Bill, They discuss castmate romances the gender neutral version of niece/nephew. They also get abstract, and ponder what a flight would have to do to get cancelled on twitter. Hope it's a fun one for you guys too, we had a blast!

Another meerkats first this week as they interview their first guest with her own Wikipedia page: actress, writer, and professional basketball player (allegedly) Nadia Alexander! Nadia talks getting into acting at a young age, being type-cast into teenage roles and the perils of clubbing with a really embarrassing celebrity. Lukas finally reveals his master plan to get everyone inside last year so he could become TikTok famous, and Gabby confesses that she’s been getting one celeb name wrong her whole life. Listener submissions bring stories of steamy and sexually confused dreams, jumping back into old relationships, and taxidermy.

And join us this Wednesday at 7:30pm for our first meerkats live show — on Lukas’s birthday! Tickets available in our bios!

The meerkats get together after their live show most definitely happened to reflect on the death of Lukas’s father. Lukas talks dealing with the complicated emotions around his specific grief, gaining closure at the end of a complicated familial relationship, and how much the responses to his most recent video helped him cope. Gabby brings in stories from a complicated familial death of her own before the meerkats end on a surprise segment and some truly out of pocket listener submissions. If you’ve recently lost a loved one or want to help a friend who has, your meerkats hope this episode can help in some way! 

Warning: this episode contains detailed discussions of some more serious topics, such as death, divorce and sexual violation.

What an absolutely delightful interview the meerkats had with comedian and resident smart friend Shatha Yas! Lukas and Gabby pick Shatha’s brain about her work in international relations, getting into standup comedy and of course, skin care routines. Lukas admits he still has a landline and Shatha divulges some of the weird lingo that Harvard University ascribes to otherwise totally normal things. Listeners get into Zoom calls gone wrong, which leads Shatha to recall the story of when her meeting was infiltrated by Russian porn bots, and one writer-in questions if she’s straight or bi, which brings Gabby to discuss her recent cancellation on Twitter. This episode is a complete joy — you won’t want to miss it!

Your meerkats welcome comedian and Tik Tok star Molly Clark! Molly and Lukas tell arrest stories (ACAB forever) which brings some insights into their most prominent differences. Gabby is terrified of Lukas’s “skinny” neck, and the pod brings back 9/11 memories. This week’s submissions cause a heated debate about whether or not a listener is in the friend zone, and belly button fears come back to haunt one of our hosts. Self-perception corner gives Molly a more generous read on herself. This is one to watch — don’t miss it!
