Tim Kalpakis is here in the flesh! Previously I’d only known him as a face on a computer! Jackie Johnson is also here and she’ll stick to the melody, thank you very much. Tony is accidentally high, which is somewhat of a tradition on this show. We celebrate Bo Honkus Jones, do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and discuss a comment that is stuck in my craw.

I forget how everything works, Wendy Molyneux and Dave Huntsberger compose a beautiful and action-packed song, everyone thinks I’m doing a bit when I talk about having experimented with drugs, Elliot is making me repeat everything, Wendy recuses herself from decorating Daniel and my walls, I’ve got a great impression and more.

Betsy Sodaro returns to the show and Mike Sacks (Vanity Fair, New Yorker) makes his debut. Have you ever put peanuts in coke and if you did, would you eat the peanuts after? Also, did your mom keep you on codeine throughout most of your childhood? Have you loudly broken a chair? These are but a few of the things we discussed on this show but really, I am burying the lede. We also did a very fun news quiz. And Just Me Or Everyone!

Nick and Mitch from The Doughboys are here! Nick recently went shopping! Mitch did a keg stand! I’m still upset about my Lyft score and I have more info to share. Daniel’s connection isn’t ideal and I’m concerned for goldfish in bowls in people’s abandoned offices. Mitch has a story which doesn’t make me feel any better. Plus how do we feel about Monte Cristo sandwiches? Also, sushi awareness and Just Me Or Everyone.
Has Daniel been paying attention to the news this week? I wrote a brief quiz to find out. Also, Elliot is “why?”ing us to death and Daniel wants to upstage me at my own funeral. Plus your calls and Daniel’s Kewl Beanz. And some Wendy news.
Who knows Paul Rust and Michael Cassady best? Daniel, Tony and I take a quiz to find out. You can play along at home.

Mary Katharine Ham—author and political commentator (currently with CNN, formerly with Fox News)—points out on this episode that she usually comes on my show during big life transitions. This time is no exception. The last time she was on she had just gotten engaged and now she’s pregnant. As with her previous two pregnancies, she has hyperemesis gravidarum and is VERY sick. We discuss all the barfing, insects, pregnancy dreams about her late husband Jake Brewer, her crazy morning, how she’s feeling about having an infant again, how her daughters are feeling about getting a sibling, her new pup, baby names, learning to do her own makeup for her wedding, writing, catching her hand in her garbage disposal, her favorite Southern foods and so much more. We also answered your questions, and did a round of HGFY and Just Me Or Everyone.
