Ari Notartomaso
We first fell in love with Ari Notartomaso when we saw the viral video of them singing "Climbing Uphill" from The Last Five Years. So when we saw they were starring in the new Paramount+ show Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, we SCREAMED at our booker Mimi, "Book them yesterday!" And what a delight it was to talk to Ari! We get into Pennsylvania repression, gender crises, the connection between musicals and emotional openness, and so much MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Mort Burke
Our good friend Mort Burke joins us this week, and despite a mic failure and despite the LA rain making the internet unreliable and despite having to use Mort's glitched up Zoom audio, this episode is SO good, we had to release it! Yeah, that's right, I threw THREE caveats in there, and the quality of this ep defeated them all! Maybe you've seen Mort in Enlisted or Mythic Quest or in his NEW stand-up special Spiritually Filthy (watch now, you will love it!), but even if you haven't, we have a ton of fun AND get serious as Mort tells us about his journey into sobriety and how his romantic life changed through that odyssey and how it prepared him to be with his fiancee (former guest and current friend Ashly Burch!)...
