Couples Therapy

Lauren Mayberry

Ep. 226

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!

  • 318. Skyler Higley

    01:31:01||Ep. 318
    Besides thinking he was funny, we didn't really know Skyler before chatting with him on today's episode, but boyo, do we know him now! 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! And an innocuous question on today's episode about his demeanor leads to a long story about growing up Mormon in a white family, his relationship with his dad, Naomi's relationship with her dad, dads dads dads!

(Just a note on the sound: we had to use Skyler's Zoom audio, which is mostly decent, but in a few places it drops out for maybe 1/2 a second, however those are few and far between. Just thought we'd mention it though for the sound engineers in the audience!)Support the show on Patreon (two extra exclusive episodes a month!) or get yourself a t-shirt or a discounted Quarantine Crew shirt!
