We discuss how her ex broke up with her over email, how spiritually bypassing white dudes get into meditation after breakups, I probably dish too much about my ex giving his mom my phone number to yell at me, and Michelle teaches us how to go from anxiously attached to avoidant.

Salma Zaky (Don’t Tell Comedy, Comics Unleashed) is one of my oldest friends in comedy and also she knew my stalker ex.

This is the most fagg*ty episode yet. Dylan Adler (The James Corden Show) comes on to tell a story of a former roommate at NYU who cut him off - but before that we laugh for 45 minutes about a mutual drag queen friend in Tokyo, and after that we stop crying laughing to cover an actually very intricate multilayered human story about standing up for yourself in a majority white comedy environment in a very heartfelt moment. My alarm goes off throughout this entire episode because we had to record early (1pm) and Dylan keeps burping because he’s a top - if you’re an f slur you get it.

Ruby Karp (Veeps) is a multi-talent but I guess just not signing according to her… she comes on to share her experience at the world renowned performing arts school LaGuardia and what some might consider abusive (but effective….) tactics used on children to get the best emotional performance out of them. I never thought it was that hard to make a 14 year old cry personally but it’s great to hear how much thought went into it, particularly from one teacher who bullied Ruby from the first day of school. Please tune IN for her special “I Don’t Trust Adults” on Veeps out September 10!

Daniel Webb (Don’t Tell Comedy) is the funniest person in the world because and mostly cuz they’re gay from Texas. Daniel initially came on to discuss going no contact with MAGA family members, but also vaping their way into the emergency room, being on a gay cruise that got turned away at not one but TWO borders in the Mediterranean, which is also Trump’s fault, and being a gay witch in Texas. Plus our Listener Letter this week somehow becomes about 9/11!

New Zealand musician Christabel Williams gives us personal tell-all of meeting someone on Tinder, that turned into being a victim of underage s*x trafficking. We touch on female conditioning, how being victimized upon turns you against your own best interest, and the mindf*ck of believing you deserve to be hurt and how s*x negativity ultimately leads us to protecting our abusers. She details the psychological journey of being an adult who later turned to s*x work again, and her reflections on her time in the industry she’s now gone no contact with. We also discuss her beautiful music career and time on the TV show Popstars (spoiler alert she won!!!!) This is a really special episode, and honored Christabel chose No Contact to share her story. Listen to Christabel’s music!

Charmeé (Good Bi podcast) has not one but TWO dramatic gay no contact roommate stories - one with a creepy white WeHo gay guy struggling with his own identity, and the other a classic homoerotic living situation gone wrong.
