  • Hated the slate crossover money episode

    Disappointed in the money episode with a guy who had no idea how expensive childcare is- he’s a financial advisor and isn’t familiar with childcare costs?? He had no clue why parents stay home with kids rather than paying for childcare. Not an expert and not educated

    Do you have any new episodes or just repeats??? You ask us to subscribe to listen to… episodes we have already heard????

    The valentines episode is the 3rd time you have played that episode. Seriously? Another rerun with no new ... more

  • Bring back the originals

    Please stop with the interviews with “experts” and celebrities trying to shill their new book, project, etc. I miss the episodes where just normal people were interviewed.

  • wow

    This show is probably, hands-down, the whitest podcast I have ever heard. The amount of bland white people that have been interviewed is astonishing. The producers or the host not have any friends of color? Particularly Black people?

How a Very Polite Danny McBride Creates Characters That Go Berserk
Q: What was it like growing up and discovering your voice as a writer and performer?
Danny talks about absorbing how people speak around him, which helped shape the punch and texture of his dialogue and allowed his characters to feel real even when they are larger than life.
I Have a Crush on My Therapist. Now What?
Q: What should therapists do when they notice transference or counter-transference in sessions?

Yes, occasionally, though not as much as before, reflecting a mix of staying connected to the band's punk roots while aging as an artist.
