The JV Club went live at the LA Podfest with special guests Kether Donohue (You’re the Worst) and musicians Ben Jaffe and Suzanne Santo, otherwise known as Honeyhoney, and what ensued was an afternoon of music, cookies, fake tattoos, and a double M.A.S.H. with Kether and Janet both finding out their 100% guaranteed fictional futures. Saddle up!

I find aways the ‘issue’ if you will, with live eps, is it’s harder to delve into the past and talk about personal experiences when in front of a crowd vs. just talking one-on-one with Janet and the conversation can stay pretty superficial and not as exciting (as a listener, for me personally); so I commend and am thankful to Kether for sharing and putting herself out there rather than a persona, even when she expressed her doubt whether to say some things 🙂 I wasn’t expecting to get much out of this ep (given my past experiences) but I was pleasantly surprised by the fun lovin’ Kether! Also honeyhoney are just the raddest
P.S. Kether and Suznne went to highschool together?!?? **GASSSPP** ;P
I kinda only just started listening to this podcast but im having a blast so far. All i really want to say is keep up the good work and thanks for doing this 🙂
Woo hoo! thanks Bassemand!
A very striking photo of Ms. Donohue (who can take a nice picture easily)…your contributions to the series, Janet, are too sparse so far but moret than fine (the utter certainty of your character’s basic Rightness about everything…she might actually be the Worst person among the regulars…is so deftly sketched in by the bits of business you bring to the role, from the pilot onward)…congratulations on getting a second season, and many more. A very pleasant conversation….(and it’s notable, just to return to YOU’RE a moment, how much better it is than the other sitcom it’s paired with, MARRIED, despite the latter having a similarly talented cast…but Way too much indulgence and focus on the man-child character, while YOU’RE might be a little unbalanced toward him, it’s far less so, and even almost beats a Bechdel test from time to time–a slightly unfair demand on a relationship series).
I’d totally build a snowman with Janet. But probably not to death. The time constraints limited the fun though.
