Eliot Glazer Returns
Our old pal Eliot Glazer returns after half a decade to catch us (really, you, the listener!) up on the last five years. Now, you know Eliot as a writer and actor on Broad City, and a writer on shows like New Girl, Teachers, iCarly, Younger and more, and now Eliot is a PUBLISHED AUTHOR! Eliot's new book The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Gay is out now! Eliot's book - and a lot of what we talk about today - is about how he feels alienated for not fitting in with the (supposed) mainstream gay lifestyle. We talk about how a lot of his issues revolve around how he sees himself in…

David Gborie
We love David Gborie's stand-up, we love him and friend of the show/friend IRL Langston Kerman's podcast My Momma Told Me as well as his other podcast All Fantasy Everything, and we love the sadly canceled cartoon Royal Crackers that David was a voice actor on, and on today's episode, we're chopping it up with David about so many things! Moving back to Colorado and meeting his now wife, being chill vs. being unflappable, his weight loss journey and the GLP-1 of it all, how advice he gets from friends is really just advice he gets from podcasts he listens to, getting into therapy and then…

Zach Noe Towers Returns
Zach Noe Tower's a wonderful pal and a wonderful stand-up, so when we saw he was on the whistle stop tour promoting his new special Twink Death , we had to have him back on the show!

Opey Olagbaju
It's Opey Olagbaju time! We met Opey when Naomi did stand-up on the wonderful, canceled-too-soon New Negroes show and are just delighted by him! Opey was recently showcased by Netflix as part of The Shortlist, was one of Time Out Magazine’s ''Favorite Comedians on the Rise" last year, was a New Face at Just for Laughs, and has generally accrued all the accolades a stand-up can get in the first half of their career. Add to that writing for shows like I Love You, America, Close Enough and Bob Hearts Abishola, and baby, you got a crock pot brimming with credits! But have those things made Opey…

Joy Sunday
Joy Sunday was recently in the wonderful HBO show DTF St. Louis where she and Richard Jenkins played two detectives trying to workout the complicated lovelife of a murder victim. It's absolutely one of the best shows to come out this year, and she's brilliant on it, so we had to have her on the show!
