    Dec 2 2025

    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!

    Nov 11 2025

    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!

    Nov 4 2025

    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. 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!

  • Naomi and Andy in "Two Naps and Zero Showers"
    Oct 21 2025

    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! All this and MORE! 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!

  • Nori Reed Returns
    Oct 14 2025

    *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?!? 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!
