One of the funniest out there and host extraordinaire Arden Myrin returns for a heckuva hour! Folks, you know Arden from a million things, from episodes of Friends to Gilmore Girls, and most recently Free Bert and The Righteous Gemstones, and her new horror-comedy Christmas at the Kringles is out THIS FRIDAY! And on today's episode we podcast-catch up on what Arden's been up to over the last six years. When we last talked to her, she had just gotten divorced, though it wasn't public yet, so Arden tells us about that, about dating after having been married for so long, how tennis helped her emotionally recover from the divorce, her theory on throwing parties and how she started therapy when she seemingly had it all, but was crying all the time.

It's been five years since Dulcé was last on, and we've got a LOT of catching up to do! Now, you know Dulcé from her time on The Daily Show, from the wonderful animated show The Great North, her book Hello, Friends! or from her podcast Chasing K-Dramas, and most assuredly, you've seen her stand-up (on tour now or if you live in LA, come to her Just Pull Up!), but today, we're hearing the EPIC story of her journey to get pregnant! After telling us about what it's like to date "dumb dudes", Dulcé tells us that all she's ever wanted was to be a wife and a mother, and the mother window was closing fast, so she decided to get pregnant. What followed was an in insane journey through our racist, misogynistic, dysfunctional health system, and buddy, that ain't even half of it! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
