Deanne Smith's Questionable At Best

This week’s question: Is the glass half full or half empty? This week’s quote:  “You can choose to focus on what’s going wrong or on what’s going right.” A pretty mellow heart-to-heart with a newly positive thinker. This one may either inspire or annoy you. Your choice!

This week’s question: When do you know you’re an adult? This week’s quote:  “I’m liquored up.” Two comics sit in a closet at midnight and question what it means to be an adult. (Hint: it’s probably not whatever we’re doing.)

This week’s question: Who are you? This week’s quote:  “I have a gross chaw.” Nile Seguin and I quiz each other on identity, and get surprisingly deep. Eavesdrop on a post-show, late night convo and think about your own damn self. Who are YOU?  

This week’s question: Does being in a relationship suck? This week’s quote:  “Most of us think that if our partner saw the flawed, vulnerable, scared little person we are on the inside that they would reject us completely.” I get a smart and compassionate counseling therapist to tell me everything she knows about relationships…in less than half an hour. Oh! And if you want to check out her website and possibly score some of that sweet therapy for yourself, go to www.philippaklein.com

This week’s question: Why are you so damn happy all the time? This week’s quote: “Hey, it’d be fun to buy a bunch of meat and feed some raccoons.” You’ll hear it in his laugh. This guy is so damn happy all the time. Learn his secret, and get some ideas on how you can be happy with high fives, raccoons, and/or random stranger interactions.

This week’s question: Does being single suck? This week’s quote: “It’s a lot of early evenings and anime.” A serial monogam-ish talks to a perpetual bachelor and they both end up a bit confused.

This week’s question: Hey, how’s your family? This week’s quote: “I’m just gonna live in a house with as many lesbians as possible.” I talk to one of the loves of my life about families, and possible future communal-type alternative queer living structures. And stuff.

This week’s question: Do I need a guest on this podcast? This week’s quote: “Do you wanna know how you get typhoid fever? You get it by accidentally eating some human shit that’s in your food.” This week, guys, I spoke to myself. This is what happened.

This week’s question: What is sexy? This week’s quote: “I’m just an oversexed fiend.” A super sexy (and smart!) burlesquer (and other things!) tells us what’s what when it comes to sexiness.

This week’s question: What’s too Jewy? This week’s quote: “I think if you’re Jewish, you’re already too Jewy.” Professional Jew and former Episcopalian talk Jewy-ness; there’s either the exact amount or less angst than you may have anticipated.

This week’s question: What makes a good sandwich? This week’s quote: “Truffle oil is too far for anything.” This is actually a really compelling episode. Sandwiches are serious business, you guys.

This week’s question: Can exes be friends? This week’s quote: “Why is this so fucking hard?” Sarah is my actual ex. I asked her (and myself) this question. Things got awkward.

This week’s question: How much fun is drinking? This week’s quote: “Whisky and Doritos is a great diet.” I mentioned whisky and strawberries in the intro, and guess what, guys? It’s a thing! Enjoy.

Comedian and deep-thinker DeAnne Smith kicks around one question with a cool special guest, resulting in 22 interesting (and often overly intimate) minutes. The outcome is Questionable at Best. This week’s question: Cheating– What’s the Upside? This week’s quote: “People look so cute when they’re remorseful.” For the inaugural episode, who better a guest than my BFF? (No one, is the implied answer there.)
