Doug welcomes comedian and former Orthodox Jew Olga Namer to the show! As the black sheep of her devout family, she still serves as an asset, flipping light switches and changing channels for her parents on Shabbat. Her attempts to embrace life on the outside are peppered with all the guilt, shame and fear of a sheltered upbringing, but Doug encourages her to lean into the rebellion with a little shoplifting.

Doug welcomes friend and fellow comic, the solo show aficionado himself, Kevin James Doyle to the show!

When his bride-to-be breaks his heart he rebounds with a foreign straphanger, only to endure an outbreak so vicious, there was no doubt it was retribution from above.

Doug responds to an email from a listener who was disfellowshipped at 17 and lost all contact with his devout JW mother. Even when his son was diagnosed with cancer, his mother put her faith before family, refusing to reestablish a relationship and confirming the fact that “worldly people” are without a doubt the biggest threat to the organization.

Doug responds to a listener email. This ex-JW golden boy had good looks and athletic ability up the wazoo but it almost all went to waste. Forced to turn away from female attention and fight gay allegations all through high school, he balled his way to a division one scholarship despite his disapproving mothers attempts to sideline him.

Doug responds to an email from a listener who was raised JW and Catholic AT THE SAME TIME! Caught in a crossfire of feuding parents, the religious tug of war led to double the indoctrination, double the depression, and an uphill battle to break free from the chaos.
