Ken Reid

Ken Reid hosts the TV Guidance Counselor podcast where a guest picks an issue of the TV Guide from his vast collection and they discuss what the guest used to watch in primetime. He’s also a comedian with an intense day job and has a crazy backstory. And three dogs including a standard poodle. We discussed Boston, the punk band he was in as a teenager, all the dead bodies he’s seen, his suicide attempt at five years old, family, drug addiction, violence, how he lands great guests and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Jason and Randy Sklar

The Sklar Brothers return to the show to talk about their new documentary Poop Talk for which they interviewed a number of comedians and experts. They did not interview Alison even though she has so much to say about poop and one feels this is a grave oversight. (She’s been promised a spot in Poop Talk Number Two.) We also talk about parenting, Randy’s surprising knowledge of Jennifer Aniston’s love life, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Grey’s Anatomy, individuating, their initial reluctance to do Poop Talk and so much more.
