Couples Therapy

Richie Moriarty has been our pal for over a decade now, but as we find out on this episode, did we ever *really* know him??? Now, *you* know Richie, obviously, as one of the stars of the hit CBS sitcom Ghosts, or maybe you've heard his voice on a ton of children's cartoons or popping up in everything from What We Do In the Shadows to The Tick to Search Party. Well, even if this is your first time meeting Richie, you're gonna love him! We quickly find out that he was married before and that COMPLETELY blows our minds, but Richie is kind enough to go through the rise and fall of his first marriage. We talk about the long emotional recovery time after his divorce, moving to New York and meeting his now-wife Ciara two weeks later and so much more, including, of course, a detailed explanation of the improv show opening called The Pattern Game!

Katy O'Brian has an extensive filmography: The Running Man, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Queens of the Dead, Twisters, Loves Lies Bleeding, The Mandalorian, and of course, she first captured our hearts in a little zombie comedy called Z Nation! She's worked with everyone from Tom Cruise to Glen Powell to Kristen Stewart, but this might be the most important role of her life: Couples Therapy guest! While Katy is an even-keeled person, we peel back the layers and talk how she learned to be vulnerable in Indiana, navigating friendships when you are a focused & ambitious person, dealing with crippling misophonia, martial arts and 5th grade bullies, being disciplined, only leaving the house for a ribfest or a jazzfest and SO MUCH MORE!

We fell in love with the Australian comedy Fisk late last year (you can watch every episode on Netflix RIGHT NOW), and today we have one of the stars of the show and one of our favs, stand-up Aaron Chen! Aaron's done a ton of stuff including being on the Australian Taskmaster and co-hosting Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, and then he moved to New York, where he does stand-up, which he also tours around the US (catch him now in a city near you!). Aaron's a smiley, affable dude, and on today's BONUS episode, we talk about the Maoist China origins of his anxiety, which kind of therapy is dinner and which kind is dessert, getting married and moving with his wife to America right afterward and SO MUCH MORE!

One of our favs from Taskmaster, British stand-up Jamali Maddix joins us this week! Now, like I said, Jamali first captured our hearts on Taskmaster series 11, but he's also been on tons of other panel shows, most notably as a regular panelist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and hosted his own docuseries Hate Thy Neighbor, where he tours far-right hate groups around the world to try and figure them out. Yikes! On today's episode, we start out discussing shit-talking & male friendships, which leads us to getting Jamali to dish about Taskmaster, as well as learning to be a real person, being haunted by endless wanting, a near-death experience in Thailand and SO MUCH MORE!

Amy Landecker has been in a TON of stuff we're fans of from the best Coen Brothers film A Serious Man to Transparent to The Handmaid's Tale plus episodes of everything from Mad Men to Curb Your Enthusiasm, and that's barely scratching the surface of her career. While doing press for her new film For Worse, which she WROTE DIRECTED and STARS in (and which is IN THEATERS NOW for NY and LA folks and expanding across the country THIS FRIDAY), Amy stopped by the ol' Zoom CT couch to talk about how the idea of gender identity has changed between her and her child's generations, life in sobriety, meeting her second husband, the list about cats and dogs, hanging out on a Pride float with Bradley's manager and SO MUCH MORE!

We have been a fan of Jenn Lyon's since we first encountered her in the sketch world of New York City in the aughts. Then we saw her on Justified; then we saw her on Claws (which, if you haven't seen it, you must - it's like John Waters writing Breaking Bad), Dead Boy Detectives, and most recently, we've been singing the praises of Stumble, so we just had to have Jenn on the show. And boy howdy, what a delight it was to hang out with her! We talk about being the preacher's daughter, going from her friends' social secretary to following Phish around on tour, searching for your identity, ED rehab, and of course, the Latin declension of "farmer"!

On a special BONUS episode we're talking to our old friends and the hosts of the BRILLIANT podcast You Might Know Her From! Not only is the SEVENTH season of their show premiering next Thursday, but Damian and Anne have a big LIVE show in New York on Saturday the 28th with (former Couples Therapy guest) Annaleigh Ashford and more, so if you live in NYC, get your tickets here and GO! Now, we've known Damian and Anne for probably a decade and a half, but we use today's episode to find out some things that don't come up when you're just hanging around watching Selena (1997). They both tell us about their mental health journeys, how the last ten years have put a lot of things into perspective relationship-wise, Anne tells us how she ditched her "despised therapist", Damian tells us about his dating life in middle age and OF COURSE, we discuss "The Breezeway Theorem" (?)!

We fell in love with Gus Heagerty's online videos and what an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT it was to have him on the show today. Hopefully you've seen them too or have seen Gus perform comedy around NYC or have even seen him in our new favorite show Stumble. But even if this is your first time meeting Gus, you're gonna walk away charmed! We talk about starting therapy as a tween, caring for flour babies, spatchcocking in the country with your chef boyfriend, when the gym teacher responds with uncharacteristic empathy and SO MUCH MORE!
