Show Notes
Richie Moriarty has been our pal for over a decade now, but as we find out on this episode, did we ever *really* know him??? Now, *you* know Richie, obviously, as one of the stars of the hit CBS sitcom Ghosts, or maybe you've heard his voice on a ton of children's cartoons or popping up in everything from What We Do In the Shadows to The Tick to Search Party. 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. We talk about the long emotional recovery time after his divorce, moving to New York and meeting his now-wife Ciara two weeks later and so much more, including, of course, a detailed explanation of the improv show opening called The Pattern Game!

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!
