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??? 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!

Yes, this year Instagram dropped Anania's online show Gaydar into our feed, and if it isn't one of the funnest shows out there!

Somebody Somewhere is one of our favorite shows of the last decade - we've talked to Jeff, Bridget, director Lennon Parham and now today, we're talking to the kind and soft-spoken Tim Bagley! Now, in addition to Somebody Somewhere, you've seen Tim everywhere over the last few decades: The Great North, Grace and Frankie, Will & Grace, Monk + as a character actor on basically every sitcom that aired since 1993, and on today's episode, Tim takes us on a tour of his romantic and therapeutic history! Tim discusses his struggles with accepting himself and the various methods he used to try "cure" being gay. We talk sex surrogates and therapists who get it, dating in LA in the 1970s, losing his partner but finding a family, Tim's sensible no-drama policy 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!
