About the podcast
Everyone deserves that best friend who delivers blunt advice with impunity. Comedian, writer, and actor Iliza Shlesinger is that friend. She has built a cult-like following of listeners seeking her hilarious take on their problems. Every week, people submit their burning questions to the show, with topics ranging from bad coworkers, psychotic bridesmaids, and a mother-in-law who won't move out to faking an accent and diarrhea etiquette. Iliza's answers range from wise and heart-felt to rage-fueled and off-the-wall. She enjoys nothing more than giving incisive life advice to total strangers, sometimes with a celebrity guest in tow. It's always entertaining, so go ahead: Ask Iliza Anything. Sales and Distribution by Lemonada Media https://lemonadamedia.com/

Today, we're sharing a peek at a new show from Lemonada Media, So U Think You Can Sports? with Eliot Glazer.
If there’s one thing comedian Eliot Glazer knows, it isn’t sports! And that makes for gloriously chaotic sit-down interviews with some of our most iconic, world-class athletes and sports figures, from basketball legend Charles Barkley to WWE star Becky Lynch to ESPN icon Mike Greenberg. On So U Think U Can Sports?, Eliot (Broad City, New Girl) throws himself headfirst into the sports world with the enthusiasm of a naive, well-meaning buffoon. Endlessly earnest but too dumb to comprehend the basic physics of how a game works, Eliot provides a POV rarely — if ever — seen in the world of sports: the idiot. All the while, he is genuinely curious and determined to understand why sports bring out the most primal behavior in fans. So U Think U Can Sports? is executive produced by Charles Barkley and his Round Mound Media, as well as CBS’ Tracker star Justin Hartley and his ChangeUp Productions.
