About this episode

Actor Kristen Schaal of “What We Do In The Shadows” and “Bob’s Burgers” fame talks about being criticized for her unique voice, and the possibility of her and Tig starring in a “Golden Girls” remake. Together they advise a woman thinking about moving to a rural ranch for love, a wife who’s tired of her husband constantly locking himself out of their house, and a gang of kayakers trying to find an edgy, fun name for their group.
