One of our favs from Taskmaster, British stand-up Jamali Maddix joins us this week! Now, like I said, Jamali first captured our hearts on Taskmaster series 11, but he's also been on tons of other panel shows, most notably as a regular panelist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and hosted his own docuseries Hate Thy Neighbor, where he tours far-right hate groups around the world to try and figure them out. Yikes! On today's episode, we start out discussing shit-talking & male friendships, which leads us to getting Jamali to dish about Taskmaster, as well as learning to be a real person, being haunted by endless wanting, a near-death experience in Thailand and SO MUCH MORE!

Amy Landecker has been in a TON of stuff we're fans of from the best Coen Brothers film A Serious Man to Transparent to The Handmaid's Tale plus episodes of everything from Mad Men to Curb Your Enthusiasm, and that's barely scratching the surface of her career. While doing press for her new film For Worse, which she WROTE DIRECTED and STARS in (and which is IN THEATERS NOW for NY and LA folks and expanding across the country THIS FRIDAY), Amy stopped by the ol' Zoom CT couch to talk about how the idea of gender identity has changed between her and her child's generations, life in sobriety, meeting her second husband, the list about cats and dogs, hanging out on a Pride float with Bradley's manager and SO MUCH MORE!

We have been a fan of Jenn Lyon's since we first encountered her in the sketch world of New York City in the aughts. Then we saw her on Justified; then we saw her on Claws (which, if you haven't seen it, you must - it's like John Waters writing Breaking Bad), Dead Boy Detectives, and most recently, we've been singing the praises of Stumble, so we just had to have Jenn on the show. And boy howdy, what a delight it was to hang out with her! We talk about being the preacher's daughter, going from her friends' social secretary to following Phish around on tour, searching for your identity, ED rehab, and of course, the Latin declension of "farmer"!

As you may know, discovering Taskmaster last year after Mantzoukas was on saved our sanity as America plunged straight into the sewer, and on today's episode, we're talking to one of our favorite contestants, Desiree Burch! Desiree is, of course, so much more than a Taskmaster series 12 contestant - she's a stand-up (who, if you live in the UK, you can see on tour in February!), the host of Netflix's Too Hot to Handle and BBC 2's Live at the Apollo; she appears on tons of panel shows and so much more! And on today's episode, we get all into how she moved to the UK for a relaysh (but not the relaysh the internet seems to think she moved for... what?!), achieving your dreams in a foreign country, how that relationship fizzled, walking your cat on a leash, the power of the mid-life crisis and TONS MORE!

Jameela Jamil is back for a killer crossover! We were recently guests on her show Wrongs Turns, where we told embarrassing stories from our past, and now Jameela joins us to further delve into her romantic and therapeutic life! Last time she was on, LA was burning, and we spent the majority of the conversation looking out the window just in case things got inferno-y. But the fires are over and everything in the world is good now. Ahem. Anyway, we get into it with Jameela about the wide gulf between her public persona and how she feels inside about herself. We talk meeting her bf James Blake, the songs he writes about her and again, how his version of her clashes with her own self-image. We talk about not wanting to be perceived and how a nice paycheck and a little dissociation can overcome those feelings, and of course, we talk dental hygiene!

We're big Attitudes! fans over here at Couples Therapy HQ - it's especially been helping us through some difficult times - so we lured Attitudes! co-host and TV writer (Chicken Sisters, Tiny Toons Looniversity) Erin Gibson onto the show with the promise of talking about Slow Horses, but that quickly falls to the wayside as Erin takes us through the rise and fall of her first marriage, how they met, how they ended, and all the nooks and crannies of the relaysh, and as much as we love Slow Horses, we were too into Erin's life to just talk about one of the last few prestige shows streaming!

The algorithm is almost always piping dumb shit into our feeds, but EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE we get some fun clips that lead us to discover someone new to us. So we must thank the algorithm for introducing us to the wonderful Hoodo Hersi! Hoodo is a New York-based stand-up and writer (she writes on Ramy's Amazon cartoon #1 Happy Family USA) and host of the YouTube show That's So Haram!. And on today's show, we go deep into her therapeutic journey, which started when she worked for Canada's Most Racist School. We talk about how she dealt with that - including an absolutely insane teaching assistant - as well as with family issues, and Hoodo gives us her tips for online dating with the goal of finding a partner.
