They say don’t meet your heroes, but this episode conclusively proves that if your hero is one Kerri Kenney-Silver (The State, Reno 911, The Four Seasons), then it’s absolutely fine. Kerri joins the group to talk about starting stand-up at age 60 (so a few years out yet, get hyped), her all-girl 90s band Cake-Like, steampunk bar mitzvahs, The State’s long friendship, and to dispense potentially inaccurate information about the moon landing. Plus, a question from a listener about bringing spouses along to friend hangs, and Jenny went to see a whole play.

Ilana Glazer (Broad City, It’s Open With Ilana Glazer) joins us live from bed today, as we remember epic party boat shoots, Ben & Jerry’s encounters, and the time Gabe fell over very mindfully. We’ll also help out a caller with a very pertinent question about weed disclosures. Plus: Jenny is ready for action movie suggestions, and the boys can’t believe their luck!

The secret ingredient in this week’s hosts-only episode is love! Jenny finds out that shackets are like jeggings for boys, Gabe explains why you should measure twice to cut once, and Max gets us excited for two Pennsylvania-set movies coming soon (though we’re disappointed by the lack of scrapple). Plus: we help a pair of callers work through their confusing night with a Sharon Tate lookalike and her friends. We’re pretty sure we know what “I have to change my tampon” is code for.

Paula Pell (The Burbs, Girls5Eva) is drinking iced coffee out of a Tab glass with a waistline! She tells us what it’s like to return to acting after a legendary writing career, then helps a caller with sweat issues, and we debate whether her dog looks more like Gizmo from Gremlins or a steering wheel. Plus: we’re still not sure how Jenny’s dad injured himself in a very sensitive place.

Plus: Max used to be Wiccan?
