Robby Hoffman knows she comes in too hot. But that kind of in-your-face enthusiasm helped her go from being one of ten kids in a Hasidic Jewish family to a burgeoning standup comic and television writer. Robby tells Marc about the challenges of her upbringing, including the socially hazardous way she was publicly outed as a teen. They also talk about her love of Uniqlo, Egg McMuffins, and her writing breakthrough on the children’s show Odd Squad.

A collection of memorable stories from past WTF episodes, this grouping has to do with the little-known stories behind the making of several beloved movies. Nick Cave explains his ill-fated Gladiator 2 script from Episode 403. Michael Keaton details the origins of Beetlejuice from Episode 349. Mike Myers explains how Wayne's World came to be on Episode 518. And Mel Brooks shares stories from the sets of Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein on Episode 358.

Mo Mandel would like you to enjoy his new comedy special, see him perform live and, if you’re a studio executive, greenlight one of his scripts. But Mo also wants to make sure he doesn’t become too successful, otherwise he’ll lose the sweet deal of essentially being a stay-at-home dad. Mo tells Marc about adapting to his OCD, giving up on self-improvement, and getting sober at the same time he was hosting a show called Barmageddon.
