Once again, while other podcasts are SCARED to put out an episode during the holidays, we're rarin' to hold your hand through these cold (both climatological and emotional) times! And today we're talking to one of our new favs, Brandon Ash-Mohammed. We watched LOL: Canada, a reality/gameshow where comedians try to make each other laugh, and encountered Brandon for the first time. That, folks, is where we fell in love with him, and talking to him on today's episode confirms that he's a real sweetheart! Now, you might also know Brandon from his stand-up, as an actor on Heated Rivalry or as the head writer of Canada's Drag Race, and on today's episode, Brandon spills the behind-the-scenes tea about competing on LOL, tells us how he met his bf, ending a cross-border situationship, screwing with a terrible psychologist when he was a child and SO MUCH MORE!

While other podcasts slack around the holidays, we here at CTHQ are hard at work, recording and editing, to help you get through this fun/disconcerting time! And today we are talking once again to our pal Steph Tolev! Steph's the best, and you should watch her Netflix special Filth Queen right away! (Or go see her on tour in the new year!). The last time Steph was on the show was 2022, so we have a lot to catch up on. Steph talks to us about leaving her therapist, meeting her boyfriend, dealing with issues from her last (terrible) relationship, typical arguments Steph gets in with her boyfriend, plus we find out that Hustler isn't the virtuous publication we always thought it was, and SO MUCH MORE!

Michael's one of our favorite humans, and it's been TOO long, so we had to have him back! Now you know Michael from plenty of things including Spotlight, Only Murders in the Building, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Dexter: New Blood and dozens of other shows, plays and films! And last time Michael was on, we talked all about his marriage, so this time we delve into his pre-married dating life, the issues that led him into therapy, his favorite blockers (which is not the film Blockers, even though it's a pretty fun movie), and of course, we ask: what ever happened to the twin of his high school boyfriend???
