This week, Phyllis and Matt gab with comedian Kevin Avery! Kevin shares the highs and lows of performing stand-up comedy, and Matt shares his theory on how a missile warning in Hawaii forever changed Jim Carey’s brain chemistry. Meanwhile, Phyllis is feeling philosophical, and asks thought-provoking questions like, “Am I allowed to say boobs?” Plus, everyone agrees that there’s only one reason to go to the bank IRL in 2025: to flirt with hot bank tellers, of course! What, did you think we were going to say something like, “to commune with fellow members of humanity?” Literally who cares about that. Anyway, don’t miss out on this episode!

Kevin Avery is a stand-up comedian and writer who has worked on shows like The Great North, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and The New Negroes. You can also find him co-hosting the Maximum Film! Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts!

The incomparable H. Alan Scott is here, along with his charisma, uniqueness, nerve and TALENT! This week, the tea is piping, the gossip is juicy, and everyone dishes on the age-old question: would you rather be cheated on with a man, or Whoopi Goldberg? Of course, The Golden Girls is up for discussion, as is Matt’s potential role in the army. Phyllis is upset about her hair, and H. Alan reveals his desire to be strangled by Tony Soprano.

Alan Scott is a Los Angeles-based writer, comedian, and producer for Newsweek. You can find H. Alan being brilliant on his podcast, The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott, or his Golden Girls podcast, Out on the Lanai.

Matt and Phyllis are joined by the glamorous writer, filmmaker, and comedienne Rose Surnow this week, and NOTHING is off the table! Rose tells tales from being a woman of the world and gives the low-down on travel etiquette. Other topics include: getting your face snatched by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, despising Albert Einstein, and the biggest regrets of the dying. And yes, bridge trolls are exposed in this episode– but not in the way you’d think. Thank us later, Phyllistines!

You can find Rose’s hilarious sketch comedy webseries LA WOMAN on her Instagram! More details about Rose below:
