Couples Therapy

We met Mekki casually around Los Angeles, and kinda knew him, but after today's episode, he's become one of our favs! Now, surely you know Mekki from The Sex Lives of College Girls or Jury Duty or maybe you read some Hollyweird insider article about him being on the show Naomi's currently writing for, St. Denis Medical, but gosh darnit, until you hear today's episode, you don't *know* Mekki! (Unless you are friends with him already, obvi). Chatting about his Moroccan Muslim mother leads us into a discussion about how his dad "hoodwinked" her into moving to a small Pennsylvania town, some of the difficult familial issues that Mekki has dealt with his entire life, and how the Quar-phase of the pandemic gave him the space to start dealing with these things. And SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Holy heck do we have fun with Ally Maki on today's episode! Now you obviously know Ally from Shortcomings and The Big Door Prize or from just about 1000 other things... Hacks, Toy Story 4, Wrecked, Cloak & Dagger, but boy oh boy, you don't *know* Ally until you hear our chat! An innocuous question about Ally's Wikipedia page leads us down a rabbit hole of how she lived in an early-aughts version of a Hype House 1000 miles away from her family, and, well, we do talk about other stuff, like therapy as per uzshe, but really Ally goes in depth into her days as one of THE KIDS IN THE HOUSE!

We've enjoyed Lilan Bowden in tons of things over the years, especially Murderville on Netflix!, so it was a true delight to sit down with her for an hour and chat all things relaysh and therapy. And besides Murderville, surely you know Lilan from Shrinking, Andi Mack, and if you're like Andy, from an episode of Comedy Bang! Bang! the TV show and also from an episode of I Think You Should Leave! But on today's episode we get to know the REAL Lilan: motherhood and how (or if!) that changed her relationship with her own mother, somatic therapy, meeting her husband at UCB and so much MORE!

Tyrel Jackson Williams is in two of the best comedies of the last handful of years, Brockmire and Party Down, but waaaaay before those shows, Tyrel got his start as a child actor, playing a younger version of his brother on Everybody Hates Chris, playing one of Shirley's kids on Community, and tons of other things including the Disney show Lab Rats. We talk all about the how being a child actor psychologically screws with you, how wHite Hollywood makes you question who you are, being too queer for some black spaces and too black for some queer spaces, and how Tyrel began to figure some of this stuff out through therapy.

This was our first time meeting Rashida, but OF COURSE, we knew her from Jury Duty, and of course you know her from that, as well as, as a writer on great shows like South Side and Sherman's Showcase, and in the future you will know her from the new Marvel series Ironheart! And on this episode, taped back on Superbowl Sunday, we get in DEEP about cis male insecurity and how that manifests in Rashida's dating life, which seems to be populated by trifling and vainglorious pricks out to waste her time!
