  Oops! All Hatties: Hammersword 11.08.2026 1j 7mnt

  In this episode, we’re all wearing hats. It’s not clear exactly why we decided to do this, but all three hosts have brought along a hat which is both a fashion statement and a talking point, leading to chat about Guess Who?, jodhpurs, Abe Lincoln’s depression, manic hat enthusiasm, John Mayer’s point system for men’s fashion, Witness, Van Gogh, Joey Pants, and more. Plus: a listener has a very interesting question that boils down to “my niece is a 10/10 and she unfortunately knows it, now what?”

  Mrs Potato Woman (w/ Aparna Nancherla) 04.08.2026 1j 8mnt

  In this episode, we talk about being the favorite child (or not) with regards to Jenny’s salad dressing dance, and Gabe wonders how to gently tell a casual acquaintance that they’ve never seen anything he’s ever done, before we welcome the delightful actor/writer/comedian Aparna Nancherla (Bojack Horseman, Corporate, The Great North). They’ll talk about Aparna and Jenny’s shared stand-up history, what Leonardo Di Caprio learned from skydiving, what qualifies as an Oreo, and the new love in Max’ mom’s life (please keep this under your hat). Plus: a listener wonders “how do I tell my mom her gifts are bad?”

  Re-release: Adult Blondes (w/ John Early) 28.07.2026 46mnt

  We’re re-releasing our interview with the lovely John Early this week (Eternity, Search Party) to remind you that his movie Maddie’s Secret (which he wrote, directed, and starred in) is in theaters now! In this episode, John claims he’s not in Zootopia 2, but he’s probably lying! We get his thoughts on Heated Rivalry, learn about his crush on a straight boy at summer camp, and discuss which foods we’d most like to eat in the shower. Plus: Jenny remembers the time she recruited Gabe to convince her college astronomy teacher to give her a better grade.

  She’s Crabatouille (w/ Claudia O’Doherty) 21.07.2026 1j 10mnt

  In this episode, the stakes couldn’t be higher as Max has placed a sandwich tantalizingly close just prior to recording, and Jenny has another dangerous bisque bubbling away! Then, we’re joined by the delightful Claudia O’Doherty (Maddie’s Secret, Love, Our Flag Means Death), who tells us what she’s been cooking recently, shuts down any talk of white chocolate, and lists her favorite movies about magic food. Max comes out HARD against short stories (not our fans, the format), and is there REALLY somebody named Eileen Downward? Plus: a question from a listener about several things, including a hot gynecologist.
• 
  Missions: Impossible (w/ Rosebud Baker) 14.07.2026 1j 18mnt

  Max met Tom Cruise. That’s the headline. The tale is epic, Gabe and Jenny are on the edge of their seats. Then, we’re joined by the fantastic comedian/actress/writer Rosebud Baker to talk about reaching out for Justin Bieber, Great Dane puppies, sandwich lawyers, hangover anxieties, and Rosebud’s candid and hilarious new memoir Fully Baked. Plus, a listener’s question boils down to this: We love dogs but…INSIDE the restaurant? Maybe no?

  Re-release: Ray Of Light (w/ Michelle Buteau) 07.07.2026 46mnt

  This week, we'd like to celebrate the premiere of Survival Of The Thickest Season 3 on Netflix by re-airing our hilarious chat with the show's creator and star, the fantastic Michelle Buteau! Michelle warns us not to get our tongues pierced at the San Gennaro Festival! She also shares how it feels to see her hosting style imitated so often, and helps us answer a listener’s question about housesitting pets while naked. Plus: Max asks Jenny and Gabe for TV and movie recommendations, from a legendary NYC documentary to a soothing art contest.

  Oops! All Hosties 3: It’s Been…One Butt 30.06.2026 59mnt

  I mean, we’re willing to talk about arthritis, that seems like a fun area, but in this week’s hosts-only episode, we’ll also discuss first semester friends, dance class soundtracks, John Travolta’s berets, fashion scum, and Gabe’s (potentially) round back. Plus, we help a listener with a question about non-vegetarian leftovers. My body is healthy and huge.

  Steven Shakespeare (w/ John Reynolds) 23.06.2026 1j 5mnt

  In this episode, it’s gonna be a two-martini night as we’re joined by the cool, hilarious, and tall John Reynolds (Search Party, Stranger Things, Yellowjackets) to discuss why playgrounds are stressful, deja vu, self-doubt, Sleeping With The Enemy, and John’s new movie Never Change! Plus, a listener has a question about the best way to get back in touch one year later!

  Cleat Cakes (w/ Jon Gabrus) 16.06.2026 1j

  Today we have a special treat, Action Movie class is in session and Professor Jon Gabrus has prepared a syllabus! A few weeks ago, Jenny asked Max & Gabe for suggestions to fill in the gaps in her action movie knowledge, and their pal Gabrus rose to the challenge in classic style. But before that, they’ll talk all about moisturizers, tapered football jerseys, adult rugby, and everything Gabrus has learned about health and fitness from hosting the podcast Staying Alive with his best friend Adam Pally. Hey, say hello to your mother for me. Follow Gabrus @gabrus on socials Check out Staying Alive wherever you listen to podcasts!

  The Moon Will Stink (w/ Chani Nicholas) 09.06.2026 1j

  Today we’re joined by the fabulous Chani Nicholas, astrologer, activist, and all around good egg, and she has Jenny, Max, & Gabe’s birth charts in hand! She’ll answer questions about how their charts align, how they differ, being prepared for expansion, and getting cornered on airplanes. Also, ghost hunting! Plus a question about using AI on family photos (that’s a big “no” from the panel).
• 
  Hole For Guys (w/ Kerri Kenney-Silver) 02.06.2026 1j 8mnt

  They say don’t meet your heroes, but this episode conclusively proves that if your hero is one Kerri Kenney-Silver (The State, Reno 911, The Four Seasons), then it’s absolutely fine. Kerri joins the group to talk about starting stand-up at age 60 (so a few years out yet, get hyped), her all-girl 90s band Cake-Like, steampunk bar mitzvahs, The State’s long friendship, and to dispense potentially inaccurate information about the moon landing. Plus, a question from a listener about bringing spouses along to friend hangs, and Jenny went to see a whole play.

  My Country, Titty Freak (w/ Pete Holmes) 26.05.2026 56mnt

  The hilarious Pete Holmes (Crashing, You Made It Weird) joins us today to discuss unkind thoughts about a man’s foot, encountering Paul Rudd after stroller combat, and to offer a caller some advice about getting the lyrics wrong. Plus, what’s an appropriate gift for a boo mitzvah, and Jenny has a simple opening question about high school: “Were you guys tryin’ to grind?”

  Chunk Hunt! (w/ Ilana Glazer) 19.05.2026 53mnt

  Ilana Glazer (Broad City, It’s Open With Ilana Glazer) joins us live from bed today, as we remember epic party boat shoots, Ben & Jerry’s encounters, and the time Gabe fell over very mindfully. We’ll also help out a caller with a very pertinent question about weed disclosures. Plus: Jenny is ready for action movie suggestions, and the boys can’t believe their luck!

  Oops! All Hosties 2: A Golden Thread 12.05.2026 47mnt

  The secret ingredient in this week’s hosts-only episode is love! Jenny finds out that shackets are like jeggings for boys, Gabe explains why you should measure twice to cut once, and Max gets us excited for two Pennsylvania-set movies coming soon (though we’re disappointed by the lack of scrapple). Plus: we help a pair of callers work through their confusing night with a Sharon Tate lookalike and her friends. We’re pretty sure we know what “I have to change my tampon” is code for.
• 
  Tony Tony Ate Bologna (w/ Anna Konkle) 05.05.2026 49mnt

  Anna Konkle (Pen15, The Sane One) might be the only second grader who watched Fried Green Tomatoes for her birthday party!

Plus: Max and Gabe share some very sweet and gentle pranks.
• 
  Bad News Bears (w/ Paula Pell) 14.04.2026 46mnt

  Paula Pell (The Burbs, Girls5Eva) is drinking iced coffee out of a Tab glass with a waistline! She tells us what it’s like to return to acting after a legendary writing career, then helps a caller with sweat issues, and we debate whether her dog looks more like Gizmo from Gremlins or a steering wheel. Plus: we’re still not sure how Jenny’s dad injured himself in a very sensitive place.
• 
  Eat The Onion (w/ D’Arcy Carden) 07.04.2026 45mnt

  D’Arcy Carden (Sunny Nights, The Good Place) promises Max has nothing to fear from getting a spray tan!

Plus: Max used to be Wiccan?
