Matt's an old pal, and he's been on the show a bunch of times both on his own and with Bowen, and especially last time, we did the "Couples Therapy thing", so this time, we thought we'd ask Matt about the two years since his last appearance. Now Matt's been having what we'll call "An Ascent", but Matt tells us it doesn't feel like that from the inside. Color us intrigued! We spend a lot of time discussing what it feels like when your self-image has to catch up to your public persona, how this affects your romantic life and so much more.

After this week, and the US's decision to embrace whatever form of fascism the GOP is offering, you, dear listener, are perhaps feeling as shitty as we are. Sleeplessness. Doom scrolling. Brownies for breakfast. While this is not a balm for our political situation, we thought, "Why don't we record a bonus episode that will both distract us for an hour and also help the listeners take a break from that Germany 1933 feeling." So we offer to you four advice questions, some of which we've thought might be more difficult to answer with a guest. Hopefully, this gives you some slight reprieve... it was fun to record even though we had about four hours of sleep between the two of us!

Between Naomi's writing gig and summer vaycays, the guest coffers have RUN DRY. So, this week, it's just Naomi and Andy goofin' around and answering advice Qs on their own (with Mabel scratching the floor in the background of course). But of course, before the advice Qs, we give you a HARROWING amuse bouche in the form of a story of a DANGEROUS ANIMAL BITE and how that fucked up our week. Then we got questions about how many pets are too many pets, blissed-out daddies and making it through another day of Bleaksville!
