About this episode

Stand-up comedian Aaron Chen joins Naomi and Andy to discuss his experiences with anxiety, therapy, marriage, and more.

We fell in love with the Australian comedy Fisk late last year (you can watch every episode on Netflix RIGHT NOW), and today we have one of the stars of the show and one of our favs, stand-up Aaron Chen! Aaron's done a ton of stuff including being on the Australian Taskmaster and co-hosting Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, and then he moved to New York, where he does stand-up, which he also tours around the US ( catch him now in a city near you !). Aaron's a smiley, affable dude, and on today's BONUS episode, we talk about the Maoist China origins of his anxiety, which kind of therapy is dinner and which kind is dessert, getting married and moving with his wife to America right afterward and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter ! Andy's latest essay can be found here! Also, we're in culture critic and Vulture writer Sean Malin's book The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen ! ALSO BUY A SUPER CUTE "Open Your Hearts, Loosen Your Butts" mug ! And: Support the show on Patreon (two extra exclusive episodes a month!) or gift…
