Writer, mother and host of Wife of the Party, LeeAnn Kreischer has always struck me as very wise and self-actualized. Turns out she really is!

Matt Logelin and his wife Liz were high school sweethearts. They bought a house, she got pregnant with their first child and they planned to live happily ever after.

Wendy Molyneux is here and she and her kids drove by a mask protest and had a few choice things to say. Dave Huntsberger is also here as the lone living representative of the clown method. Daniel beams in from a beach to talk about his calendar. I've had an epiphany about feeling like an opportunity has passed you by and also I mix up the lyrics to Jambalaya and Shoofly Pie. Even writing this now I feel they should be the same song. Tony is freshly shorn and Wendy recounts some awful things doctors have said to her regarding weight. I discuss feeling judged as well.

We caught up and he filled us in on the ways life has been unkind to him since then but how he's learned it's all about perspective. We talked about being a single parent, the months before a rare blood disorder was diagnosed where he thought he had cancer, reconciling with his mom, feeling discarded and passed over, the significance of "honeydew," his Patreon and a lot more including something called defecography. Also his favorite pasta shape. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY and a special appearance of my dog because Ryan wanted to see her.

Daniel is back and has to listen to me spout off about how I'm tired of pretending celestial phenomena are mind blowing. A partial solar eclipse? You can barely see it. Is it because, as my parents suggested years ago, I'm a member of the MTV Generation? Also Elliot crashed into my nose and I'm wondering if I should invite some former cult members onto the show.

Fan favorite Jordan Morris is back and he's moved to a bungalow! Will his friends still hang out with him now that he's no longer in the center of town? Niccole Thurman joins us for the first time and she's audition-fresh. She's also tired of all of you not returning texts.
