Naomi met EJ doing stand-up, and was enamored. Maybe you've seen his stand-up either live or in clip form. Maybe you know him as a writer on HBO's I Love LA. Even if you've never heard of EJ before now, you're going to dig today's episode! We talk about how he met his partner, how they fell for each other in lockdown, their experiment in polyamory and what the scientific findings were from the experiment and of course buying a Philly soft pretzel down on Oregon Ave. PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
