    Our old pal Anthony Atamanuik joins us this week, and if you were around UCB in the late-aughts/early-teens like we were, Anthony's team with Adam Pally and John Gemberling was doing some of the funniest, weirdest and darkest comedy in the city. And if you weren't around UCB then, surely you know Anthony from his brilliant Trump impression and Comedy Central show The President Show, from his recurring role on What We Do In the Shadows, or from tons of other shows like Search Party or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, from his just-ended podcast Don't Panic, and honestly, we could keep going! On today's show, Anthony shows up with an open heart and loose butt and we talk childhood trauma and repression, unlearning bad behaviors, how therapy and love helped heal him and TONS MORE!

    Between Naomi's writing gig and summer vaycays, the guest coffers have RUN DRY. So, this week, it's just Naomi and Andy goofin' around and answering advice Qs on their own (with Mabel scratching the floor in the background of course). But of course, before the advice Qs, we give you a HARROWING amuse bouche in the form of a story of a DANGEROUS ANIMAL BITE and how that fucked up our week. Then we got questions about how many pets are too many pets, blissed-out daddies and making it through another day of Bleaksville!

And to prep for the show, listen to today's episode 100 times over cuz we've got the patented Couples Therapy Gamut of Emotions for ya!

  • 309. Hannah Einbinder

    01:21:48
    The first time we met Hannah - at least together - Naomi was figuring out her Netflix half hour, and Hannah graciously gave her some time on a show at the Irvine Improv down in The OC. I went along to try and find the real Seth Cohen and also have some mozzarella sticks at the Irvine Improv (they did not have any). The point is, Hannah was just a delightful person and a hilarious stand-up to boot, and you will find that out for yourself on today's episode! We talk about how a recent break-up thrust Hannah into a new paradigm, we explain what a paradigm is, and Hannah goes into depth about her high school years as a cheerleader! Also, if you're not watching Hacks, you HAVE to, and Naomi even plays herself on the third episode of the new season! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
