Family: Selina Hamilton, née Koester, Is My Little Sister
Selina wasn’t always my little sister. There were almost 3 years when she didn't exist at all in my life. But, now she does and I couldn’t be more thrilled for it.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone in this mini-series who is more of a pastor than Selina. Besides, you’d be wasting your time as she’s pretty darn good at her job (her patience, empathy and a willingness to answer any questions about religion are all on full display here). But, she wasn’t always and only a pastor. There’s some literature, teaching and scuba diving mixed in there before she settled on her adult life. She walks us through all of that (despite Jesse’s best efforts) and then we turn to The Fishbowl. When we do, we pull questions on the second amendment (courtesy of James Choi, S01E32), Ground Work (courtesy of Alan VonDreditor), Bad Friend Stories and Favorite Freeway (courtesy of Scott Oshima, S01E33). As always, thank you for listening!

Burlesque: Kirby LaBrea Was In Bye Bye Birdie
Kirby LaBrea is a bit of a rarity - a boylesquer making his mark on the LA scene. While the biggest LaBrea fireworks are his dance moves, there’s massive fun to be had in this audio-only experience. Also, we sing. Twice.
Kirby LaBrea opens up on this episode and the range of topics is broad to say the least. From tear-away pants to ancestral slavery, we cover the gamut. Kirby has walked a winding road to the stage, the result of a late-in-life discovery of his passion for performance, despite both parents working in the creative arts. Once we get through the preliminary discussion, we ring the bell. A lot. Solutions! Mansplanations! O-Sounds! All that and much (MUCH!) more!
