Summary

Comedian Myq Kaplan and Gabe are both chatterboxes so bear with us! Myq loves his girlfriend a lot and it’s cute. He also reads dozens of advice columns a day. Then, the long-time friends give advice to a man whose wife is down the MAGA rabbit hole. Straight male friendships can be intense! (I love this conversation!) Does a drunk friend who injured you have to pay the medical bills? In r/socialskills how do you tell a friend the expensive gift was from you? A boyfriend gives a girlfriend the wrong dress code for a wedding and it becomes national news.

I am old in friendship with Gabe and the oldest I've ever been. My name is Mike Kaplan. I am a

0:35.8

stand-up comedian and many other things, but that's, you know, when we flatten ourselves down to one thing, the flat thing that I am is a stand-up comedian. I write, I perform, I'm a human, I'm a friend, and I'm very happy to be here. Thanks for having me.

0:50.3

Do you want to talk about your special Rini a little bit?

unique perspective on the ways I did certain jokes one way one night, another way, another night.

She has strong, artistic, integrity and opinions, and I value them greatly.
