Introducing "You Both Suck"!
My New Comedy-Advice Podcast!
This has been a very long time in the making (and a very long time since I’ve written on here, because of it), but I am SO excited that it’s finally here!! I launched You Both Suck, a comedy podcast about conflict, with my friend and fellow New Yorker/comedian, Kunal Arora.
A comedy podcast about conflict? What does that mean? Well, I’m glad you asked! It means that we will be taking anonymous submissions from you fine folks about a problem/squabble you’re having with another person, debating it, and then deciding who sucks in the scenario (aka who’s wrong). Sometimes, you both suck, and that’s ok! Hence, the title.
We’re here to help you navigate the murky waters of conflict resolution, self awareness and accountability in your arguments. We try to get to the root of the problem, which is usually what’s hiding underneath the drama.
Submit your own squabble here on our Anonymous Google Form ! And the term “form” is used loosely - it’s LITERALLY a blank text box where you can brain dump your problem - we don’t collect any other personal info! Not even your email address. There’s an example submission on the page as well.
Also, let’s just get this out of the way: if you’ve ever read the “Am I The Asshole” thread on Reddit, it’s similar to that. And I’d like to point out that I didn’t know ANYTHING about that thread until I came up with this idea, but my friend burst my bubble when I told her about it. I got upset for a brief moment, then I decided that it’s 2023 and nothing is original anymore. What makes us unique is…us. Everyone has their own twist on an idea, and this is ours.
If you’re a subscriber of my Substack (thank you, btw), you know by now that I’m a big advocate for mental health, as well as being open about my past and using the lessons I’ve learned to help others. I’ve fallen down (literally and metaphorically) more times than I can count, and this seemed like a fun way to share those stories, as well as that experience. If it helps people out there feel less alone, then I’ve done my job.
If you enjoy listening to two friends pick apart a problem and tell stories, all the while sometimes roasting each other, this pod is for you.
And if you can’t afford therapy, this pod is also for you.
We aren’t giving out medical advice here, but we’ve both been in therapy for a long time, so we’ve picked up some tools along the way that we would like to pass onto you. Hopefully we can also make you laugh at the same time.
Pro tip: we include the time stamps in the show notes. Let’s say you want to get to the meat of the episode, we add that in so you can jump right to the squabble.
Another fun thing we threw in? F*, Marry, Kill rounds at the top of each episode. We’re starting out the first few episodes with NYC themed F*, Marry, Kills, which is…FANTASTIC if I do say so myself.
For example, the first episode (listen here on Spotify or here on Apple Podcasts) takes NYC Neighborhoods and puts them on the chopping block: Astoria, Park Slope, and Times Square. That one got picked up by newyorkers IG. Watch here:
Who do you pick?! And what about NYC Sandwiches?? BEC, Chopped Cheese, and the Italian Combo. TOUGH CALLS.
PLEASE FOLLOW US ON IG (@youbothsuckpodcast) AND TIKTOK (@youbothsuckpodcast) for new clips EVERY DAY as well as episode previews and voting for future FMK’s!
If you don’t have social media, no worries, the full YouTube videos will be uploaded each week as well! Subscribe here.
It would mean the WORLD to me (and Kunal as well, I imagine), if you would listen! And if you could rate it on Spotify and leave a short review on Apple Podcasts, that would be even better!!
And again, if you have a dilemma or squabble of your own you would like to submit for us to debate on-air, you can do that by clicking here!
Thank you for reading, listening, and supporting :) I’m excited to share more with you!
