#64 I Had A Party Friend with Tanya Mansfield
Sep 29, 202100:57:04Tap to summarizeThis week we welcome comedian Tanya Mansfield. We were supposed to talk about her experiences being the middle child, but quickly segued into talking about that one friend, we all had one -- they're older, they're reckless, the red flags are plentiful and waving but we couldn't seem to see them at the time. Tanya had a party friend, and we KNOW she's not alone. This story has everything a teenager could want: an RV, UV vodka, cheetah print bikini tops and more.

#63 I Was Home During A Robbery with Ben Gorodetsky
Sep 22, 202100:41:51Tap to summarizeEven been home alone during a robbery? Comedian, writer and this week's guest Ben Gorodetsky has. As an 11 year old with temporarily unsupervised internet access, it should have been every boy's dream evening. But unfortunately for Ben things took a turn. From excellent stranger danger boundary setting (DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN A STRANGER KNOCKS!) to head smacking police blunders (GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE) to the wild tale of Ben and his family surviving a SECOND home invasion years later, this episode is NOT one to miss.

#62 I Grew Up Evangelical with Dave Apkarian
Sep 15, 202100:54:17Tap to summarizeThis week we're joined by comedian Dave Apkarian. Growing up in an Evangelical church, Dave took what he saw around him and used it to his advantage - like thinking if the spirit of the Lord entered him, a cute girl would TOTALLY be into him. Surprisingly it didn't work. Outside of church Dave and his brother stayed busy doing kid stuff like watching Terminator and helping their dad with laborious farm work including an insane story about a pig that you absolutely don't want to miss.

#61 Learning To Love My Body with Kristine Blinn
Sep 8, 202101:25:24Tap to summarize***Content Warning: ED, body image, diet culture This week we sit down with comedian Kristine Blinn and get right into it. It's a whole episode on body talk. From a little kid in a bathing suit to the grown ass woman she is today, it's been decades of mixed messages, negative self talk, learning to unlearn it, and sending 1 million middle fingers to the diet industry. We loved getting to have such a candid talk with such a wonderful guest.

#60 I Was In The Closet with Pete Angelo
Sep 1, 202100:50:16Tap to summarizeThis week we welcome CT's strongest comedian / funniest strong man Pete Angelo. Growing up as a big guy in a small town, when Pete started to realize he had feelings for men, he wasn't exactly sure how to navigate that terrain, so for a while he held it in. We are so glad he was eventually able to express his true self and share with us his stories of how he did it. As with most coming of age stories in the early 2000's, we're sending a huge shout out to Myspace.

#59 I Was A Dork with Bridget Kavanagh
Jul 21, 202100:44:19Tap to summarizeWe're joined by comedian Bridget Kavanagh this week who claims she was a dorky child, but upon further reflection we think she just had weird hobbies and a bad haircut. We learn Bridget had a personalized Mets bowling ball, a pretty historically accurate Harry Potter Halloween costume and for some reason she joined varsity golf in high school. Ok now that we read it all together, maybe she was dork after all.

#58 I Was Pantsed At A Pool Party with Kayleigh Dumas
Jul 14, 202100:42:54Tap to summarizeThis week we're joined by comedian Kayleigh Dumas for a tale no teen wants to tell: Kayleigh was pantsed at a pool party! It's your classic story of adolescent live triangles and passive aggression -- ok maybe aggressive aggression from the lenses of three adults who have clearly worked through the issues they had as young people and are doing much better now. Bullying disguised as friendship, undiagnosed ADHD, this episode really takes us back. Follow Kayleigh: IG: @kayleigh_dumas Twitter: @kayleigh_dumas
