Now, you know Eliot as a writer and actor on Broad City, and a writer on shows like New Girl, Teachers, iCarly, Younger and more, and now Eliot is a PUBLISHED AUTHOR! Eliot's new book The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Gay is out now! Eliot's book - and a lot of what we talk about today - is about how he feels alienated for not fitting in with the (supposed) mainstream gay lifestyle. We talk about how a lot of his issues revolve around how he sees himself in comparison to this gay apotheosis, and how it makes him feel when he actively tries to fit in. We also get into the mental illness of social media, our dislike of being perceived, and of course, we discuss the most famous graduate of the LA clown scene.

Zach Noe Towers Returns
Zach Noe Tower's a wonderful pal and a wonderful stand-up, so when we saw he was on the whistle stop tour promoting his new special Twink Death, we had to have him back on the show! Now Zach was last on the pod three years ago, so we catch up on what has changed in his life since then. Where is he when it comes to sides vs. the main course? Where is he in his romantic life? Zach tells us about a recent meet cute that is as close to erotica as this show gets! We also talk recovery, how Zach got sober, and is there any hope for us two, childless people to get our lives in order? All this plus: What are challenge coins?
