It's EJ Marcus time, folks, and if you don't come out of this episode loving him, you ain't got a soul! Naomi met EJ doing stand-up, and was enamored. Maybe you've seen his stand-up either live or in clip form. Maybe you know him as a writer on HBO's I Love LA. Even if you've never heard of EJ before now, you're going to dig today's episode! We talk about how he met his partner, how they fell for each other in lockdown, their experiment in polyamory and what the scientific findings were from the experiment and of course buying a Philly soft pretzel down on Oregon Ave. PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Joy Sunday was recently in the wonderful HBO show DTF St. Louis where she and Richard Jenkins played two detectives trying to workout the complicated lovelife of a murder victim. It's absolutely one of the best shows to come out this year, and she's brilliant on it, so we had to have her on the show! Now you also know Joy from Wednesday, Dear White People and a bunch of other stuff, but here we delve into her INCREDIBLY MENTALLY HEALTHY life. In fact, what are we doing here? Joy is teaching us how to live! All that plus growing up on Staten Island, dating in LA, being a good kid and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Poorna tells us about meeting her husband in the heady days of early aughts New York, running up the company expense account, sowing her oats in Giuliani's cleaned-up city, transitioning from an ad exec to an actor, her childhood as the daughter of a diplomat, and why maybe it's not as glamorous as it sounds and SO MUCH MORE!
