I Need You Guys

Ilana Glazer (Broad City, It’s Open With Ilana Glazer) joins us live from bed today, as we remember epic party boat shoots, Ben & Jerry’s encounters, and the time Gabe fell over very mindfully. We’ll also help out a caller with a very pertinent question about weed disclosures. Plus: Jenny is ready for action movie suggestions, and the boys can’t believe their luck!

The secret ingredient in this week’s hosts-only episode is love! Jenny finds out that shackets are like jeggings for boys, Gabe explains why you should measure twice to cut once, and Max gets us excited for two Pennsylvania-set movies coming soon (though we’re disappointed by the lack of scrapple). Plus: we help a pair of callers work through their confusing night with a Sharon Tate lookalike and her friends. We’re pretty sure we k...

Anna Konkle (Pen15, The Sane One) might be the only second grader who watched Fried Green Tomatoes for her birthday party!

Plus: Jenny’s been activated by a horny novel about improv.

Nicholas Braun (Succession, The Sheep Detectives) went to the same high school as one of us, and you’ll have to listen to find out who! We talk about high school reunions, regrets, and surprise hookups, and Nick puts his detective skills to use to help a caller whose upstairs neighbor has a strange post-sex ritual. Plus: Jenny learns that “making a donation” has a different meaning in outer space.

We’re lucky writer and chef Alison Roman made friends with Jenny before she hit max friend capacity! Together we’re celebrating Jenny’s birthday, feeling guilt from parenting Instagram, and helping a listener who’s worried a bad tattoo will threaten their friendship with the tattoo artist. Plus: Max and Gabe share some very sweet and gentle pranks.

Paula Pell (The Burbs, Girls5Eva) is drinking iced coffee out of a Tab glass with a waistline! She tells us what it’s like to return to acting after a legendary writing career, then helps a caller with sweat issues, and we debate whether her dog looks more like Gizmo from Gremlins or a steering wheel. Plus: we’re still not sure how Jenny’s dad injured himself in a very sensitive place.

D’Arcy Carden (Sunny Nights, The Good Place) promises Max has nothing to fear from getting a spray tan! She also recommends a tiny delicious fruit to us, and helps us help a caller whose grandma won’t stop buying her a certain giant appetizer. Plus: Gabe has faith in pet psychics, but is the ‘gift’ from nature that fell onto his car a bad omen?

Michelle Collins (The Michelle Collins Show, On The Box) sadly doesn’t revive her one-woman performance of Les Misérables for us! But she does share the shocking thing people would yell at her in Amsterdam, reminisces on her college days with Jenny and Gabe, and helps us with a caller who thinks his friends are talking about him behind his back. Plus: Max used to be Wiccan?

Jake Shane (Therapuss) is not shy about saying I love you! We talk about how he became fast friends with Jenny at their Broadway show and breaking theater kid rules, then help a caller who had an awkward run in with a guy she went on one date with. Plus: Our pitch for a President’s Day movie.

No guest, it’s just the three of us this week! (Sorry, Keira Knightley, maybe next time.) Jenny guesses what the movie Saw is about, before Max relives the very real horror of a birthday dinner that went terribly wrong. Then we help our first ever preteen caller prepare for middle school. Plus: did Jenny invent the crab taco?

Vanessa Bayer (Scrubs, How Did We Get Weird?) is sitting criss-cross applesauce on the floor to podcast with us! She explains why you shouldn't kill bugs in front of kids, helps us pitch new gift store items for the Clinton Presidential Library, and reveals her secret history as a puppeteer (prompting Gabe to make us all jealous by telling us how he met Kermit). Plus: Jenny's on Broadway, and worried she accumulated bad karma by en...

Michael Cyril Creighton (Spotlight, Only Murders In The Building) is here to clear up any rumors that he’s actually Gabe Liedman!

Kurt Braunohler (Bananas podcast, The Big Sick) is a snow-tubing virgin just like us! We talk about the best sledding hill in his town, the pros and cons of living in another country, and the prank show victim he never thought he’d run into again. Plus: we get maybe our favorite voicemail ever from a daredevil talking smack about everyone in her small town.

Fashion designer Rachel Antonoff has been proposed to 50,000 times!

We’ve got even more from Jacqueline Novak this week! She talks about the time she visited Reptiland, and gets so excited she sticks her leg out at an angle that must be seen to be believed. (We do our best to paint the picture, audio listeners.)
