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!

Edy Modica was so fun on the first season of Jury Duty, so when we saw she was promoting her debut stand-up special I'm Just Like You (And It Sucks) (Now on YouTube!), we said we gotta talk to her!
