real talk.
i got a second job. it’s actually a lot of fun, so i don’t mind working all day & coming home just to sleep. but one of the downsides is that i don’t have as much time for side projects anymore.
josh has been my favorite person on the internet for almost a year now, so doing the monkey inquisition with him was the best & most fun thing i did last year. we really only did it because it made us laugh, but it was nice that other people liked it, too. & i’m not going to lie, being one of the top comedy podcasts on itunes for a month was pretty cool.
i don’t know if you realize how much time & work goes into recording & editing an episode, but it’s a lot. it took me nearly two days to produce two 15-minute episodes, so i can’t imagine how much time josh spent on 13. & the thing is, he has a full-time job. he has a family. he has the cutest baby in the world. he has screenplays to finish. that he spent so much time on our podcast with everything else he has going on shows how amazing a friend & great a person he is.
he & i agreed to do the monkey inquisition for as long as it was fun, so long as we had time. & the truth is, neither of us has the desire or time right now. sure, sometimes i’ll listen to an episode & say, “aw, i miss that. we should do another!” but when i think about it, what i really miss is talking to josh. & i can do that off the record.
in episode 11 of monkey inquisition, josh tries to convince me to join the FBI. which proves that he hasn’t been listening to a fucking word i’ve said this entire time. but — i may consider it; look how cute i am undercover!
bonus: listen to our first conversation, which was the basis for the entire podcast. if anything, at least the sound has gotten better.
monkey inquisition: episode 9.
josh & i create our own country, meloshua. everyone is welcome. so long as you don’t sass us back. & are hot. & willing to walk around naked for us.
also, josh picks on my boy haircut some more.

hey, look! my & josh’s podcast, monkey inquisition, finally comes up when you type “monkey i” into the itunes store search box.
now it’s super-easy to leave us a review. which you should do. maybe something like:
“josh is really, really good on this podcast. i’m so jealous that i don’t get to work with someone as funny as he. ooh, & he sounds handsome. i bet he’s handsome. melissa, do you know if he’s handsome?”
josh is my favorite.
even though we’ve been doing our monkey inquistion podcast for seven weeks now, i still pinch myself every day to see if i am actually really truly working on something with my idol.
& when we meet in real life, i’m going to make him pinch me, too. ON MY BUTT.
man, i’m tired.
while i take a nap, you guys should listen to episode 6 of Monkey Inquisition: Real Talk with melissa & josh. well, except for the part where i do my meathead-named-jake impersonation.
