  23. I Spent 17 Years as a Lesbian Before I Figured It Out with James Tom

  Sep 29, 20261h 11m

  Comedian, actor, and producer James Tom joins Emma for a funny, deep, and genuinely moving conversation about spending 17 years in the wrong pool before finding his way home. James traces the whole arc: 13 years in the Girl Scouts, coming out at 14 and going all in, women's college, starting testosterone right before the pandemic on a hunch about his future career, and the Fire Island trip that quietly rearranged his entire sense of himself. They get into the spiritual difference between a butch lesbian and a twink, the crossed wires of being attracted to (and attractive to) people who were picking up on something you couldn't see yet, why transition is less an event than just getting older, reward-based brains and candy at funerals, and how a relationship can become a way to avoid sitting with yourself. Plus a shared love of porn talk, true crime, and reading Am I the Asshole first thing in the morning to feel normal.

  22. I Quit Comedy the Week Before Kevin Hart's Show Found Me ft. Winston Hodges

  Sep 22, 20261h 8m

  Comedian and Funny AF finalist Winston Hodges joins Emma for a warm, funny, wide-ranging conversation about the strange truth that every good thing that happens to him seems to raise the stakes instead of lowering them. After ten years and a self-imposed deadline, Winston had made peace with not "making it" and was on a lake vacation when a casting email landed that turned out to be Kevin Hart's Funny AF — and his anxiety hasn't returned to baseline since.They get into the ten-day whirlwind of making the show, closing on a house, and getting a Cellar audition all at once, why success can feel more terrifying than failure, and Emma's uncanny (and hilarious) sixth sense for reading a room. Plus small-town life, the slow drift from young Republican to progressive, Winston's years teaching kids with autism, chain restaurants as a love language, and grief doing strange things to the body.

  21. My Apartment Looks Like a Child Lives Here ft. Natalie Cuomo | GAYDHD with Emma Willmann

  Sep 15, 20261h 3m

  Comedian and classically trained actress Natalie Cuomo joins Emma for a very funny hang that eventually gets to her obsessive Hello Kitty claw-machine phase — the one that's left her apartment buried in stuffed animals and looking like a child lives there. Before that, they get into the specific humiliations of auditioning, including the self-tape that got Natalie's team to ask, in writing, whether she'd ever taken an acting class (she went to acting school), and the blonde-bombshell soap opera audition where they had to lower the camera for her.Emma gets into the acting feedback she keeps getting ("disingenuous," and yes, "autistic") for nodding the way she actually nods in real life, why "just be yourself" has never once worked, how Twitch became Natalie's one positive online space, and Emma's comment filter that blocks the words "women," "Ellen," and "not funny."

  20. A $6 Pill Fixed My Whole Life | GAYDHD with Emma Willmann | SOLO EPISODE

  Sep 8, 202656 min

  Emergency solo recording, because I had too much to report and no intention of letting my brain flit it into the ether. Last time I was high on my supply of mantras — turns out "I'm not someone who scrolls" lasted about seven days, and I'm ready to admit I'd medal at the Scrolling Olympics. Then a head cold, a Kansas City real estate gig, and a full health-anxiety spiral led to me buying a Life Alert bracelet at 40. And finally, the payoff I'd been saving: the sphincter specialist, the exam, the diagnosis, and the $6 Amazon fiber pills that may have quietly fixed everything. Plus whether I was, in fact, flirting with the sphincter doctor.

  19. Sperm Banks, Big D*ck Energy & the Human Brain with Sarah Adelman | GAYDHD with Emma Willmann

  Sep 1, 20261h 17m

  Comedian and science nerd Sarah Adelman joins Emma to talk sperm banks, big dick energy, anxiety, gossip, the placebo effect, and all the bizarre ways our brains shape reality. Sarah shares what it was actually like working at a sperm bank, why she thinks she found scientific evidence for “big dick energy,” and how seeing that much sperm changes a person. They also get into why gossip helps us bond, why embarrassing memories stick with us, whether being cringe is actually the key to getting good at something, and why Emma uses the placebo effect to convince herself a bad stand-up set is going great. Plus: failed cheating schemes, accidental doula meet-and-greets, emotional incest, space travel, butthole fingerprints, and much more.
