Summary
On a special BONUS episode we're talking to our old friends and the hosts of the BRILLIANT podcast You Might Know Her From! Not only is the SEVENTH season of their show premiering next Thursday, but Damian and Anne have a big LIVE show in New York on Saturday the 28th with (former Couples Therapy guest) Annaleigh Ashford and more, so if you live in NYC, get your tickets here and GO! Now, we've known Damian and Anne for probably a decade and a half, but we use today's episode to find out some things that don't come up when you're just hanging around watching Selena (1997). They both tell us about their mental health journeys, how the last ten years have put a lot of things into perspective relationship-wise, Anne tells us how she ditched her "despised therapist", Damian tells us about his dating life in middle age and OF COURSE, we discuss "The Breezeway Theorem" (?)! 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!
Andy's latest essay can be found here! Also, we're in culture critic and Vulture writer Sean Malin's book The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen!
