She’s Not a Nazi, She’s Just Autistic & Is Seeking Our Advice

Mommy Issues with Lucas Zelnick

Can I just say, secretly learning about Nazis makes you look like more of a Nazi than just learning about it.

Who better to offer advice on this than a Jewish comedian and his Jewish mother?

When I was younger, I was so desperate to have a dog. Luckily, my mom understood that as a thirteen year old with a social life, I was in no position to take care of a dog.

I've been in a somewhat similar situation but this is a little more complex than just readjusting the direction of the doggy crate. Let's see if my mom and I can offer her some sound advice on this episode of the Mommy Issues Podcast.

Stop Being So F***ing Judgmental of your Grandfather for Moving On

Are you being too judgmental of your grandfather for getting back out on the dating scene six months after your grandmother died? What happens if you match with your therapist's son on a dating app?
