Brandon Ash-Mohammed

Once again, while other podcasts are SCARED to put out an episode during the holidays, we're rarin' to hold your hand through these cold (both climatological and emotional) times! And today we're talking to one of our new favs, Brandon Ash-Mohammed. We watched LOL: Canada, a reality/gameshow where comedians try to make each other laugh, and encountered Brandon for the first time. That, folks, is where we fell in love with him, and talking to him on today's episode confirms that he's a real sweetheart! Now, you might also know Brandon from his stand-up, as an actor on Heated Rivalry or as the head writer of Canada's Drag Race, and on today's episode, Brandon spills the behind-the-scenes tea about competing on LOL, tells us how he met his bf, ending a cross-border situationship, screwing with a terrible psychologist when he was a child and SO MUCH MORE!

Michael Cyril Creighton Returns

Michael's one of our favorite humans, and it's been TOO long, so we had to have him back! Now you know Michael from plenty of things including Spotlight, Only Murders in the Building, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Dexter: New Blood and dozens of other shows, plays and films! And last time Michael was on, we talked all about his marriage, so this time we delve into his pre-married dating life, the issues that led him into therapy, his favorite blockers (which is not the film Blockers, even though it's a pretty fun movie), and of course, we ask: what ever happened to the twin of his high school boyfriend???

Erin Gibson

We're big Attitudes! fans over here at Couples Therapy HQ - it's especially been helping us through some difficult times - so we lured Attitudes! co-host and TV writer (Chicken Sisters, Tiny Toons Looniversity) Erin Gibson onto the show with the promise of talking about Slow Horses, but that quickly falls to the wayside as Erin takes us through the rise and fall of her first marriage, how they met, how they ended, and all the nooks and crannies of the relaysh, and as much as we love Slow Horses, we were too into Erin's life to just talk about one of the last few prestige shows streaming! Erin also talks to us about the Santa Fe aesthetic, why people should just give marriage a shot and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Hoodo Hersi

The algorithm is almost always piping dumb shit into our feeds, but EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE we get some fun clips that lead us to discover someone new to us. So we must thank the algorithm for introducing us to the wonderful Hoodo Hersi! Hoodo is a New York-based stand-up and writer (she writes on Ramy's Amazon cartoon #1 Happy Family USA) and host of the YouTube show That's So Haram!. And on today's show, we go deep into her therapeutic journey, which started when she worked for Canada's Most Racist School. We talk about how she dealt with that - including an absolutely insane teaching assistant - as well as with family issues, and Hoodo gives us her tips for online dating with the goal of finding a partner.

Naomi and Andy in "Two Naps and Zero Showers"

Life has been lifin', folks! I'm sure we'll discuss what that means exactly on a future episode, but just know that it's been beating us both down and leaving us drained and de-brained! And also a guest had trouble with their wi-fi, so we decided to record a "Just Us" episode. In this EXCITING INSTALLMENT, we delve into the various animal sounds that plague us from outside our place, come up with The Almanac of Forgotten Facts - a book idea that will surely catch the publishing world on fire, Andy gives an update on his nutritionist/existentialist journey, and we answer YOUR advice questions about virtual therapy, sibling's real estate purchases and what to do when your partner dresses like shit!

Nori Reed Returns

*This* is why we podcast! Friend of the show/Friend IRL Nori Reed returns for a frank discussion of how fucked up the current political climate is, but folks, what we love about Nori and about the vibe of the show is that we can move from a very silly joke into a very serious discussion like *snaps fingers*. Now, you know Nori from her previous appearances on the show, from her stand-up or as a writer on After Midnight and Raven's Home. Her writing on the latter led to a GLAAD Award and Emmy Award Nomination! On today's episode, we have a real talk about when to flee a country descending into authoritarianism, why you should defend the most vulnerable people in your country, estrogen alternatives, plus we ask, "Are cats communists?", find out how Nori is feeding her soul, and someone brings up piss... and it's *not* Andy?!?

Claire Saffitz

It seems like a lot of people's experience of the internet has been being radicalized into white nationalism. I mean, not us. Obvi. It seems like our experience has been cute animal videos, peer-reviewed scientific papers about Covid and finding cool people to talk to on the show serendipitously, and that's what today's episode is! A random google search "Can I make homemade Skittles?" led me to wonderful chef and YouTube culinarian Claire Saffitz! Claire is a former contributing editor to Bon Appetit and was the star of their online series Gourmet Makes. Since leaving them, Claire has started her own YouTube Channel and written books like Dessert Person and What's For Dessert, and on today's ep, we get THERAPEUTIC! We talk about how becoming a parent has brought up control issues Claire thought she had already dealt with, her favorite fictional therapist, problems with perfectionism, how she met her husband and SO MUCH MORE!

Milana Vayntrub

Milana Vayntrub is BACK, folks... wait! Back??? That's right! We recorded an episode with Milana a few weeks ago that maybe got a bit TOO real for recorded media, especially for people with boundaries, but she's back and we still get into it! Now you know Milana from a ton of stuff including This Is Us, Silicon Valley and our personal favorites Werewolves Within and Outer Space, and on today's ep, we Milana plays therapist to us, but we then volley the therapeutic tennis ball back at her! We talk food issues, Family Systems, evil inner voices, having healthy self-esteem, being friends with her exes and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Catherine McCafferty

Sorry Mission Impossible, for once, the algorithm has worked wonders because it introduced us to the incredibly charming Catherine McCafferty! Catherine hosts the online show Pretty Gay, which features guests like Liv Hewson, E.R. Fightmaster, Cameron Esposito and many others who you've heard on THIS VERY SHOW, on a kind of interview date with Catherine. It's one of the few things Instagram has injected into our feed that we enjoy, and now we're turning the interviewing tables on *Catherine*! We talk about growing up in Chicago, how her parents' relationship affected her, her popular high school boyfriend, coming out, her not-great first therapist, being engaged and breaking it off over Zoom and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Couples Therapy
Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi

A Nice Indian Boy (Now on Hulu!) is one of our favorite films of the year, and on today's episode, we talk to power couple Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi, the star and director of the film respectively! Now, you know Karan from his previous appearance on the show or maybe from the Deadpool films, the Spider-Man Spider-Verse films, Miracle Workers and a ton of other stuff, and Roshan is both a practicing doctor and the co-creator of the hit Fox show The Resident. And on today's show, we get to know them as a COUPLE!. We hear about their relationship roles when they started dating, and how those roles have inverted over time; Karan tells us about his pre-Roshan dating life, Roshan talks to us about his run-ins with cops and Gen Z residents, and a TON of other stuff including medical shows' biggest deception: that there are white doctors! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!
