Couples Therapy

Yes, this year Instagram dropped Anania's online show Gaydar into our feed, and if it isn't one of the funnest shows out there!

Somebody Somewhere is one of our favorite shows of the last decade - we've talked to Jeff, Bridget, director Lennon Parham and now today, we're talking to the kind and soft-spoken Tim Bagley! Now, in addition to Somebody Somewhere, you've seen Tim everywhere over the last few decades: The Great North, Grace and Frankie, Will & Grace, Monk + as a character actor on basically every sitcom that aired since 1993, and on today's episode, Tim takes us on a tour of his romantic and therapeutic history! Tim discusses his struggles with accepting himself and the various methods he used to try "cure" being gay. We talk sex surrogates and therapists who get it, dating in LA in the 1970s, losing his partner but finding a family, Tim's sensible no-drama policy and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

Vanessa is a wonderful stand-up that we like a ton (maybe you've seen her on Jimmy Kimmel or Comedy Central or Netflix... and did you know she was named as one of Variety's Top Ten Comics to Watch?), and on this week's episode we talk all about her and her parents' parallel therapy journeys, how she escaped her small Texas town, meeting her boyfriend on OK Cupid, slut seasons, lessons you learn from your parent's marriage, what CBP really stands for and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!

We're big Attitudes! fans over here at Couples Therapy HQ - it's especially been helping us through some difficult times - so we lured Attitudes! co-host and TV writer (Chicken Sisters, Tiny Toons Looniversity) Erin Gibson onto the show with the promise of talking about Slow Horses, but that quickly falls to the wayside as Erin takes us through the rise and fall of her first marriage, how they met, how they ended, and all the nooks and crannies of the relaysh, and as much as we love Slow Horses, we were too into Erin's life to just talk about one of the last few prestige shows streaming! Erin also talks to us about the Santa Fe aesthetic, why people should just give marriage a shot and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!
