What is the listener’s dilemma about his girlfriend’s desire for plastic surgery?
Hey Portlandia fans.
Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armison here.
The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.
We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back the curtain on how it all got made.
And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysler, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.
Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvise, not just words, but a song. Well, I
thought you were all gonna write a song too.
I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, AAO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clemens. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook. Every episode we're trying to help our guests improve their careers by mainly focusing on how they can help us improve our careers.
The show's famously super accessible, so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what's going on.
We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller, Danny McBride, Riz Ahmed, and Mary Steenbergen.

This is Chelsea Hanler from Dear Chelsea. Every week the news gets worse, the world gets crazier, and Yamonika is here to tell whoever's responsible you're the problem.
Do you know I just found out who Sydney Sweeney was? If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men. Do better or do less so I don't have to do so much. I'm Yamonika and I'm out. Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Nick Tutoro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, The Longest Yard, or Spike Lee's Black Klansman. And on my new podcast, Delivering Happiness with Nick Tutoro, I deliver pizza to a new guest. I've shared a slice with everyone, from Seth Rollins, what are you doing, my
belt, to Bill Burr. I don't think I've ever met somebody so exactly out of their mind as I am.
And now, we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Tutoro.
It's called Happiness, Delivering Happiness.
And many, many more. Open your free Hi-Hot Radio app, search Delivering Happiness with Nick Tutoro, and listen now.
I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season three podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It's a scorched earth war that shows just how far someone will go to get what they want.
Cindy said I had to choose between the truth and my family, and I had to choose the truth.

If you're a guy and your girlfriend tells you she wants to get plastic surgery, you have a very thin line that you have to walk.
Okay. Okay.
You can't sound too excited because that seems like you don't like the way that she looks.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
But you can't sound too against it either, cause then you're a jerk who doesn't support her.
Yeah. Yeah. And you you can't
have no opinion either, 'cause then it sounds like you just don't care.
Yeah, it's a good point.
And one of our listeners thought that he'd handled the news like a champ. His girlfriend was happy. They seemed closer than ever until he got a major surprise that has him wondering, how do I undo what I just did without making her mad? Uh-uh.
Yikes.
We're gonna hear it and try to help out in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call next.
It's awkward.
It's Tuesday.
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Brooke, before you and Michael were married, what's the best present that he ever got you? Was it the dish rack that he bought for Christmas or the twenty pack of Walmart compression socks after your first pregnancy scare?
I mean, he's just so romantic. You know, it's hard to choose one.
