Couples Therapy
Lauren Mayberry
What's this? Naomi and Andy don't have an actor or comedian on today... they have a... musician?!? That's right, folks! The BRILLIANT Lauren Mayberry of the band Chvrches is on the show today, and it's a REAL barnburner! We met Lauren at a party a while ago and had such a fun time that we had to have her on the pod, and today we're talking band dynamics, having a "googleable lovelife", how Lauren was the "Jane Goodall of indie fuckboys" and tons more stuff. It's a gosh darn delight! 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!
See Naomi live in Vermont or New York! And you can support the show on Patreon (two extra exclusive episodes a month!) or with a t-shirt (or a Jewboo shirt) and check out clips on YouTube! (Every once in a while we'll do a Twitch show, if you want to also follow us there). Plus! Check out Andy's old casiopop band's lost album! And discounted Couples Therapy Quarantine Crew t-shirts here (if you don't get one, we're gonna have A LOT of nightshirts over at the ol' Beckperigin household!)!

335. Gianmarco Soresi
01:36:34||Ep. 335Taped weeks and weeks ago before the bottom fell out of our (albeit, already-failing) democracy, stand-up Gianmarco Soresi joins us from road, doing a weekend in Ohio. Now you may know Gianmarco from his stand-up, either in person or online or maybe even from his Netflix set as part of the Verified series, or from his podcast The Downside, but even if you don't know him at all, you will fall in love after today's ep! While we spend the first few minutes feeling each other out - are we being serious? are we just goofing? are we really going to talk about doing stand-up on TikTok? - we quickly get into the good stuff: why Gianmarco doesn't want to get married, how he met his girlfriend in lockdown, estranged dads and SO MUCH MORE!

01:19:57||Ep. 334Our podcast parent Acast thought we might get along swimmingly with the boys of AsapSCIENCE, so they suggested a crossover, and buddy, were they ever right! Taped a few weeks ago before the US dropped off a cliff (maybe you can hear the light in our voices?), on today's episode, we're talking to couple and science educators Mitch Moffit and Greg Brown! Now, you might know Greg and Mitch from their hit YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE or from their wonderful podcast Sidenote (check us out on a recent ep!). Well, even if this is your first time meeting the duo, you're in for a treat! We get into how they met in college, how Mitch's time on the reality show Big Brother got *Greg* (and eventually Mitch himself) into therapy, going on dates with a conversation app and SO MUCH MORE!

01:06:27||Ep. 333After this week, and the US's decision to embrace whatever form of fascism the GOP is offering, you, dear listener, are perhaps feeling as shitty as we are. Sleeplessness. Doom scrolling. Brownies for breakfast. While this is not a balm for our political situation, we thought, "Why don't we record a bonus episode that will both distract us for an hour and also help the listeners take a break from that Germany 1933 feeling." So we offer to you four advice questions, some of which we've thought might be more difficult to answer with a guest. Hopefully, this gives you some slight reprieve... it was fun to record even though we had about four hours of sleep between the two of us!

01:40:21||Ep. 332Our old friend Langston Kerman is back! We absolutely loved Langston's new Netflix special Bad Poetry and had to have him back to tell us what it was like to have a powerful white (John Mulaney produced and directed the special, and also Langston wrote on the fantastic Everybody's In LA) in your corner! But that's not all we talk about! We discuss how Langston was a big poetry dork in high school, yet still had the confidence to be popular. We talk about why he's not so into therapy. And of course, we talk about why Love Jones didn't cross over to white audiences. Something we talk about on almost every episode! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

01:22:39||Ep. 331We're spreading our wings and stepping outside our comfort zone to talk to folks we think are funny, but that we don't know, and on today's episode with Zach Zimmerman, we are rewarded for our risk-taking! Cuz Zach is the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, heck, he's even the tapir's cape! Now Zach's a stand-up who hosts a live show with our fav Jay Jurden, he's appeared on Corden and After Midnight, and his first book of essays Is It Hot in Here (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)? was published last year. And on today's ep we talk all about mother issues! Mother issues, conservative parents, and Andy tries to get Zach to explain the psychological inconsistencies in Evangelical Christianity... can he do it? PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Well dig into the Somebody Somewhere Couples Therapy Thrillogy with this episode!

It's been five years, and people, you know Josh from his brilliant shows Please Like Me and Everything's Going to Be Okay, from his stand-up, or maybe even his new book Let's Tidy Up!

And yes, you know Fran as a YouTube star, as a TV writer and actor, and perhaps you've seen De'Lon treading the boards on Broadway, and if you haven't, you MUST listen to their podcast together Lemme Fix It!, where they rebrand the nostalgia of our youth! But even if this is the first time you're being introduced to the pair, strap in for an hour of fun!

01:26:04||Ep. 327You know we're scared of strangers, but we watched one of Misha Brown's videos about an entitled woman who tried to feed his dog human food and instantly felt a connection! You may have seen Misha's videos at @dontcrossagayman (is the "at" redundant?) or heard his podcast The Big Flop (which we'll be appearing on soon), and on today's PULSE-POUNDING edition, we'll hear about the trash men Misha dated, his journey to sobriety, performing for billionaires on cruise ships, and SO MUCH MORE!
