About this episode
Megan Gailey returns for her third episode to discuss her new special and share personal stories.
One of our favorite folks Megan Gailey is back for her third full episode, and we have A LOT to catch up on! You know Megan from a million things, but perhaps, dear listeners, you know her best from the podcast she and Naomi used to host I Love a Lifetime Movie. Well, Megan's new special just came out - it's FANTASTIC - and you can see it on the 800 Pound Gorilla (home to many, many incredible stand-up specials) YouTube channel here ! On the whistle-stop publicity tour for her special, Megan stops by to tell us about the emotional tilt-a-whirl the last year has been for her, cussing out a shitty audience member at a show in Indiana, the highs, lows and whoas of postpartum life, and the time a border czar tried to hold her hand at the Hollywood Bowl. (What?) 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…
