Summary

This episode answers an age-old queer question, listener! Kimia Behpoornia is a comedian, actor, and improv MASTER that has been cracking you up on hit shows like Dropout and Abbott Elementary, but today she’s in the apartment to take a crack at the classic sapphic conundrum: what do you do when your in love with your BFF?! We discuss courting, dating, and eventually marrying your childhood best friend; the painful process of coming out; the flexibility of the human mind; and how the straights are way too open with us about their sex life. Ashley tries to bang her acting class partner. Lizzy gets a gay apology.
