*This* is why we podcast! Friend of the show/Friend IRL Nori Reed returns for a frank discussion of how fucked up the current political climate is, but folks, what we love about Nori and about the vibe of the show is that we can move from a very silly joke into a very serious discussion like *snaps fingers*. Now, you know Nori from her previous appearances on the show, from her stand-up or as a writer on After Midnight and Raven's Home. Her writing on the latter led to a GLAAD Award and Emmy Award Nomination! On today's episode, we have a real talk about when to flee a country descending into authoritarianism, why you should defend the most vulnerable people in your country, estrogen alternatives, plus we ask, \"Are cats communists?\", find out how Nori is feeding her soul, and someone brings up piss... and it's *not* Andy?!? 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!
