Couples Therapy
Anthony Atamanuik
Our old pal Anthony Atamanuik joins us this week, and if you were around UCB in the late-aughts/early-teens like we were, Anthony's team with Adam Pally and John Gemberling was doing some of the funniest, weirdest and darkest comedy in the city. And if you weren't around UCB then, surely you know Anthony from his brilliant Trump impression and Comedy Central show The President Show, from his recurring role on What We Do In the Shadows, or from tons of other shows like Search Party or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, from his just-ended podcast Don't Panic, and honestly, we could keep going! On today's show, Anthony shows up with an open heart and loose butt and we talk childhood trauma and repression, unlearning bad behaviors, how therapy and love helped heal him and TONS MORE! 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!
Support the show on Patreon (two extra exclusive episodes a month!) or get yourself a t-shirt or a discounted Quarantine Crew shirt! And why not leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts? Or Spotify? It takes less than a minute! Follow the show on Instagram! Check out CT clips on YouTube!

01:38:00||Ep. 319Jacob Anderson's just the best!

Skyler Higley is a stand-up and writer - he wrote for a long time for The Onion and on Conan's TBS show, and now he writes on After Midnight!

Naomi and Andy in "Blissed-Out Daddies"
01:27:03||Ep. 315Between Naomi's writing gig and summer vaycays, the guest coffers have RUN DRY. So, this week, it's just Naomi and Andy goofin' around and answering advice Qs on their own (with Mabel scratching the floor in the background of course). But of course, before the advice Qs, we give you a HARROWING amuse bouche in the form of a story of a DANGEROUS ANIMAL BITE and how that fucked up our week. Then we got questions about how many pets are too many pets, blissed-out daddies and making it through another day of Bleaksville!
