#49 Unicorn Hunters with Kate Willett
Kate Willett joins us to talk about the downsides of unicorn hunters, using dating apps as a bi woman, ticket processing fees, Olive Garden, Christian summer camp, asking “What’s it like to be gay?” in early AOL chatrooms, agnostic prayers, stumping for the left and (usually) losing, whether it's necessary to come out as "kinky" to your parents, parents who live separately but stayed married, and the cult tactics of Christian summer camps. My girlfriend also makes a surprise appearance at the end even though we discussed I would be recording until 6. No full video this week because I screwed up the cameras - but we'll be back next week with full video for our episode with Mike Recine. Sorry for being a dumbass!

#46 Sweetgreen is Too Expensive with Dana Donnelly
Our guest, comedian Dana Donnelly, once tweeted that Sweetgreen was too expensive and got a $100 gift card from them but that may have had more to do with her 170,000 Twitter followers. She joins us to talk about my struggles to buy my girlfriend a gift in a Michigan sex store, going on a first date where he finds out mid-date that his best friend died, flying home from college without knowing for sure if your dad died, quarantining with your boyfriend and sister, telling your younger siblings that their memories are not real, growing up in Palo Alto and running into Mark Zuckerberg, and why the hell Tacoma wouldn’t change their name after The Tacoma Method.

#45 Stuck in the Comments with Hannah Berner
Russell watched all of Summer House (for the second time) to prepare for our episode with comedian Hannah Berner. We talk about fake laughter, fake orgasms, a corporate gig where I got booed for making a joke about ExxonMobil, how Dave Chappelle is “stuck in the comments”, thinking you’re the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of reality television, the awkwardness of reunion episodes, ego death, being one of the top 250 tennis players in the world for girls 14 and under and then getting the yips, using the bathroom at a Buffalo wings convention, and how pit bulls get a bad rap. Not for nothin’, it’s a great episode. You can watch full video of this episode HERE!

#43 The Houdini Hole with Doug Benson
Doug Benson shares the secrets of the Houdini Hole and why it’s vastly superior to the Houdini Museum. We also discuss the scammer that’s targeting stand-up comedians, growing up in San Diego and taking school field trips to Mork & Mindy tapings, not getting bullied in high school because your older brother is on the football team but then he graduates, getting cast as Santa instead of Jesus, smoking pot in hotels, being an extra, a stand-in, a Universal Studios tour guide, and we conclude that the best comedy special would be one where the audience members are allowed to drive over the comedian.

#39 Getting Called a B*tch by Dave Chappelle with Jason Zinoman
New York Times Comedy Critic Jason Zinoman shares the downsides of being called a bitch by Dave Chappelle on Broadway, giving someone a bad review then finding out they live in your apartment, only having three columns a month to cover comedy in the New York Times, reviewing Pete Davidson, Louis CK, and The Fringe Festival, tv shows about rich people that aren't really critiquing them, and I somehow got him to call my podcast "necessary", a pull quote I will be using for the rest of my life.
