Couples Therapy
Ronna Glickman and Bryan Safi
Ep. 125
•
Happy Thanksomething, I suppose, pals! Here in the middle of a pandemic that is just raging out of control, our Thanksgivings this year are going to be a lil' lackluster, so we thought we'd spruce up your brain's happy centers with a special advice episode of ALL QUARANTINE QUESTIONS featuring two of the best in the biz: Ronna Glickman and Bryan Safi of Ask Ronna with Ronna (and Bryan)! And to ask Qs of your own, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter! Also, support the show on Patreon or with a t-shirt and watch us every Wednesday on Twitch!

364. Jeff Hiller Returns
01:38:48||Ep. 364Our good pal Jeff Hiller returns for a joyous episode! Not only is Jeff one of the funniest around, but he also co-starred in one of our favorite shows Somebody Somewhere *and* his memoir Actress of a Certain Age is coming out in a few weeks (preorder that baby!), so we had to have him back on the show! We talk Texas bullies, private school bullies and every kind of bully in-between, the things you give up for your partner and how to deal with that, and we ask: is revenge worth it if you don't make it your life's mission? Maybe just a lil' revenge every day is okay??? PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
