Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy? Not quite! On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between-songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Why does Franklin want to stop the surprise party?

Hey, what's good, y'all? You're listening to Learn the Hard Way with your favorite therapist and host, Kier Gaines. This space is about Black men's experiences, having honest conversations that it's really not safe to have anywhere, but you're having them with a licensed professional who knows what he's doing. How many men

How does Franklin feel about surprises and parties?

Kier Gaines 1:21
carry a suit of armor it signals to the world that you not to be played with and just because you have the capability that does not mean that you need to listen to learn the hard way on the iHeartRadio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts
Michelle McPhee 1:36
I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Franklin 1:47
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
Michelle McPhee 1:52
But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Franklin 2:37
If you ever receive a bad gift, you can either pretend that you really like it, or, well, no, you pretty much have to pretend that you like it.
Jeffrey 2:50
I was going to say, I didn't know we had another option.
Franklin 2:51
We really have no other way. The thing is, that doesn't really work for one of our listeners, because he just found out what his girlfriend has secretly been planning to give him for his upcoming birthday, and the mere idea of it is sending him into a literal panic.

What personal reason is affecting Franklin's decision?

Franklin 3:07
Oh, so much so he's determined he has to stop her from ever giving it to him. You're going to hear what that is and why he absolutely cannot let it happen in your brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call next.
Unknown 3:22
It's awkward.
Brooke 3:24
It's Tuesday.
Unknown 3:25
It's Awkward Tuesday phone call.
Franklin 3:28
You've heard people say the phrase, information is power. Yes. Well, that's not the case for our listener, Franklin.
Unknown 3:36
What?
Franklin 3:36
Apparently for him, information is fear.
Unknown 3:40
Uh-oh.
Franklin 3:41
Because he learned something recently that got him so terrified, so scared, he emailed us asking if we could help him make an awkward Tuesday phone call. So maybe ignorance is bliss is the better quote we should use here. Oh, if only. It's too late for that. Franklin now knows too much.
Michelle McPhee 3:58
Oh, Franklin.
Franklin 3:59
Franklin, welcome to the show, man. Hi. Oh, my God.

How does the team plan to help Franklin navigate this situation?

Franklin 4:04
Just even that hi legit sounded frightened. I thought Jeffrey was exaggerating like he normally does, but you... I felt like I was exaggerating, but you sound like you're hiding underneath a blanket right now.
