Jessica's been in a ton of other rad things too including Rez Ball, Tribal and Frontier, and on today's episode, we start out talking about what childhood in Edmonton was like, and that segues into a really fantastic discussion of Jessica's mental health journey, including the medicine woman who changed her life and a lot of other things.

Apr 1401:31:32Tap to summarizeOne of our favorite folks Megan Gailey is back for her third full episode, and we have A LOT to catch up on! You know Megan from a million things, but perhaps, dear listeners, you know her best from the podcast she and Naomi used to host I Love a Lifetime Movie. Well, Megan's new special just came out - it's FANTASTIC - and you can see it on the 800 Pound Gorilla (home to many, many incredible stand-up specials) YouTube channel here! On the whistle-stop publicity tour for her special, Megan stops by to tell us about the emotional tilt-a-whirl the last year has been for her, cussing out a shitty audience member at a show in Indiana, the highs, lows and whoas of postpartum life, and the time a border czar tried to hold her hand at the Hollywood Bowl.

Well, even if this is your first time meeting Richie, you're gonna love him! We quickly find out that he was married before and that COMPLETELY blows our minds, but Richie is kind enough to go through the rise and fall of his first marriage.
