Doug Smith (@whodougsmith) is a comedian and a new father. Two months ago, his son Mason entered the world. The kid's journey - from conception to EXTREMELY difficult birth - is a wild one. Doug tells it brilliantly. It's a hairy ride with a happy ending. Enjoy.

Haitian therapists. Yoga ball sex. Nicholas Cage's birthday party. This episode has everything. Jenn Welch (@jennwelchnow) stops by to talk sobriety, sexual awakenings, and why watching grown men play Tony Hawk on Playstation is not strictly considered foreplay.

Jun 9, 2015

This was f**king fun. Ronnie Fleming (@ron_flem) is about to start a podcast. He wrote me a message asking for advice. I said "yes, if we can record it". So we did. Think of this as a "meta"-episode, commenting on its own creation as we make it. Like the movie Barton Fink. Or any episode of Animaniacs.
