    Colman Domingo came over to our house. The first thing you learn about him is that he goes for the embrace. It’s a Philly thing. This man is truly West Philadelphia, born and raised, to a level where he literally went to high school with Will Smith. He is also a true actor’s actor. He’s the most fashionable man. He’s Mr. Vacation. He’s 56 and looks 38. We want to know how to look like him. We want to know how he transforms into an entirely different human being right in front of your eyes. We want to know, would he wear a fat suit or gain the weight for real? We want to know whether he considers Dave a historical figure. In short, we want to know everything about this fascinating man. Thanks for watching us learn about the craft of acting from Colman. We respect you!

  • 37 - The Halloween Episode

    It’s Halloween. This year, why don’t we be each other? I am you, you are her, she is me. Today we each take a crack at being the other two and quickly discover two things: 1. Kristin is a secret genius at doing impressions and 2. unshackled by the burdens of being ourselves, all three of us are willing to say things that we may never be able to take back. And in a way, isn’t the unfiltered honesty of your best friends sometimes the scariest thing of all? If that doesn’t scare you, this episode has also got needles, razorblades in candy, the actual witches who may or may not have lived in Dave’s hometown, Benny’s OCD childhood obsession with Austin Powers, and an ending that some would consider truly shameful. Happy Halloween and thanks for watching. We respect you!

    Adam Scott is a man who pulls off comedy and drama at a level that’s so high it’s unbelievable. Well, today he came over and he really left his mark. For starters he has a calm energy that gave us a calm energy, which gave Reggie a calm energy. And he sits in a way that no guest on this show ever has, which was thrilling. Along the way we learn whether he carries existential dread, how he and Ben Stiller linked up, and challenge him to a folding competition. He also takes us through the whole timeline of his friendship with Paul Rudd, whether his kids can beat him up, and what it was like being a struggling actor for 15 years balancing on dental floss. At the end he puts 5 drops of medicine in Dave’s ear. Thanks for watching us hang out with Adam Scott! We respect you!

Actually she’s in school to become a Pilates instructor, which is good news for Dave who has recently been grappling with a glitch in his pelvic system.
