Bomb Ogent (w/ Joe Mande)
2025/12/30
Joe Mande (Hacks, Parks and Recreation) is legally barred from doing impressions on our show!

Don't Call It A Restroom (w/ Rachel Sennott)
2025/12/23
Rachel Sennott (I Love LA, Bottoms) finally comes clean about her beef with Max! We debate when it’s OK to ask to go to the bathroom (never ‘restroom’) during an interview, help a caller who works different hours than his boss, and drool over a hot diner doctor. Plus: Jenny has never been in a ball pit? Watch Rachel in I Love LA, the whole first season is on HBO Max!

Introducing: CrimeLess
2025/12/18
CrimeLess is a weekly comedy talk show exploring the wild crime questions you’d never act on—but secretly want answered. Comedian Rory Scovel and journalist–turned–true-crime podcaster Josh Dean break down a new outrageous caper each episode, from bold heists and absurd scams to crypto disasters and monkey-driven chaos. Their deep dives into the strange details and eccentric criminals spark hilarious, totally hypothetical brainstorms about how things could have gone even more off the rails. You’ll learn just enough weird facts to sound interesting at a party. Picture How Stuff Works after a few drinks, or You’re Wrong About—but focused entirely on Florida-Man-level mayhem.

A Necklace That’s A Wife (w/ Kumail Nanjiani)
2025/12/16
Kumail Nanjiani (Night Thoughts, Fallout) doesn’t want us to bust his chops! Together, we help a caller trying to coax his mother-in-law to get a much-needed surgery and guess which not-quite-A-List actor is dating an AI chatbot. Plus: Silvestri and Liedman dream of having “last name” friendships. Check out Kumail's "Night Thoughts" special on Hulu 12/19!

Little Grandmothers (w/ Jason Mantzoukas)
2025/12/09
Jason Mantzoukas (The League, How Did This Get Made?, Percy Jackson) doesn’t want your dessert omelettes!

Teach Me, Rodolpho (w/ Tim Simons)
2025/12/02
Tim Simons (Veep, Nobody Wants This) is too shy to tell us what voice he uses when pretending his dog can talk!

It doesn’t matter to them if they have anything original to say. They’re talking to themselves not us. Disconnected.
