We are LIVE from the London Podcast Festival, where Michelle and Dan lift the spirits of a country in mourning. The first podcast in King Charles’ England features banter about their British doppelgängers and the meaning of narrow hot dog feet. Then a moment for the history books when Michelle meets the talented English actress Michelle Collins to unpack their life journeys with the same name. One Michelle reveals she was a teen punk club girl and the other discloses her original last name which made her sound perpetually ill. Which Michelle is which? Tune in to find out, and thanks to the fabulous live crowd!

This week Michelle and Dan spill the English tea about Dan’s trip across the pond for the London Podcast Festival (and despite what you may have heard, Dan did NOT cause the Queen to kick the bucket). After discussing which cartoon character is more bangable—Goofy or Foghorn Leghorn—they regale us with tales of a pianoless piano bar, flirty banter AKA fla’ah, and Michelle getting “asslighted” on the dance floor. We’re then joined by actor, comedian, and all-around mensch Justin Long who trades restaurant horror stories with Michelle and gives us the lowdown on his own hit horror story—the terrifying new flick in theaters, Barbarian. Justin also dishes about his old flame Drew Barrymore and reveals his beef with rapper Lil Nas X over an Alvin and the Chipmunks birthday cameo video.
