Chelsea Peretti

Chelsea Peretti is a fun hang! And we've been fans of hers for a while (her old comedy group back in NYC Variety SHAC was the cat's pajamas, and we love love love her 2014 Netflix special One of the Greats!), so it was a real pleasure to goof around with her for a while. (And of course, you know Chelsea from tons of stuff including Brooklyn Nine-Nine, her film First Time Female Director or her podcast Call Chelsea Peretti) We get into balancing weirdness and vulnerability both on stage and in real life, going to therapy as a kid, wanting to have a child and SO MUCH MORE!

Adam Pally

Well, well, well, who knew that today's episode with Adam Pally would start with talk of bees stinging buttholes and end with deep questions about the existential possibility of happiness??? Now, of course you know Adam from The Mindy Project, Happy Endings, Mr. Throwback, Knuckles, 101 Places to Party Before You Die and of course, his new podcast with Gabrus Staying Alive! And on today's episode we bounce back and forth between the serious (melancholy, momentum and therapeutic tragedies) and the silly (bagel dead zones, brunch in Harlem, eating at the movie theater) in classic Couples Therapy fashion!

Jeff Hiller Returns

Our 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!

Asif Ali

We've casually known Asif for a while now (he was even on an early live episode of the show), but after DEVOURING Deli Boys, we had to have him on for a real chat! And maybe you also know Asif from his stand-up or from WandaVision, Agatha All Along or Shrinking? Well, either way, we get into it today - we figure out what Asif's void is like and what fills it up, growing up in Arizona as the only Indian family in town, living Entourage, and asking the question, "When is this wife?"
