Dear Mattie Show 043: Sharon Pierre-Louis from SWITCHED AT BIRTH

Sometimes in your life, you just come across good people. And I mean really good people. Sharon is one of those "types" of people. She's a fantastic actor because she deeply feels for others, cares about their welfare and she is just damn funny. We discussed her career and her volunteering in Haiti after the country's devastating earthquake. And she's gives better advice to your questions than me!! Gurl gets deep, y'all. Ohhh, here comes some truth talking! Find Sharon on Instagram and Twitter:...

Dear Mattie Show 042: Tymon Manning

I mean look at this picture. Tymon Manning loves puppies and kittens, has biceps for days, AND he volunteered for the Peace Corps and loved it SO much HE WENT TO WORK FOR THEM. We are all terrible people. I loved this episode and the glimpse it gave me into the something I've honestly been too scared to do. Question include: My mother is set in her ways and needs a new hairstyle, how do I tell her? How do I get my boyfriend to manscape? What's a reach around? After 10 years my marriage is a shel...

Dear Mattie Show 041: Josh Nasar

Josh Nasar is just plain unpredictable. Seriously, at some points of the show I just let him take over. I mean, I pretty much don't have much to say about this episode, except that he's dang dang dang funny and I loved watching him go. I love it when a man can be aggressive but still have a sweet heart. Yes I have a crush.

Dear Mattie Show 040: Dr. Dani Schlichter

I just think Dr. Dani is about the best therapist out there. I'm not kidding. She's heartfelt, knows when to throw in a dirty joke, and is smart as hell. She makes me feel like my smarter sister is taking care of me and got my back when she's around. On this episode, she goes into detail about her experience working with clients who struggle with acute Hoarding. I mean she's SEEN people lives in chaos, literally. Y'all are gonna love this episode. Listener questions include: I'm a filmmaker in L...

Dear Mattie Show 039: Ty Mayberry

Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Brad Pitt...and Ty Mayberry. I'm not kidding. That's the kind of beautiful man Ty is. I mean those eyes. AND I also lump him in that category of actors because he is that talented. That's honestly why I had him on the show. Yes he's hot, BUT this episode maybe one of my favorites because to be a great actor, I think you have to be a great feeler, great empathizer, and someone who thinks about people a lot. Hence, Ty was so great an answering your questions. We laughe...

Dear Mattie Show 038: Jill Alexander

I could not be more excited to have Jill on the show. I've been trying for months, but darn it...she's always working! No for real, Jill is the most successful actor I know. She's been in over a 100 national commercials, on Mad Men (that lil' show) and on Silicon Valley. So I'm sure you're thinking right now..."Don't I know her?" Well you don't sugars, but you can now. She's got a great head for business, clarity, and just good ol' common sense. I just love this gal. Check out all things Jill a...

Dear Mattie Show 037: Anniversary Show with Dawn McCoy

I love that your write to me. I love that you laugh with me. And I love that you always keep me guessing on what you'll ask next. Starting this lil' podcast a year ago has enriched my life so very much. And to celebrate my freshman year, who better to join me than my BFF and neighbor, host, life guru, and do-gooder Dawn McCoy. Also since Dawn's been on the show before there are NEW CHATTY MATTIE questions...ohhhh! Thanks for a great year, sugars. Mwah! And if you love Dawn as much as I, find al...

Dear Mattie Show 036: Clayton Farris

The last time I hung out with Clayton I'm pretty sure we were drunk at a cast party after a musical production in college. Then one day I saw him in the streets of LA, and we re-connected and low and behold I got him on the show. Warning: He's way smarter than me, and I'm pretty sure he give me a run for my therapist-money! Fun show with some deep thoughts, but without Jack Handy. (get it? get it?) Questions include: Do I like this guy or not? What's your favorite dance move at weddings? My boss...

Dear Mattie Show 035: Paul Elia

Paul Elia has the most beautiful brown eyes and is such a stand up guy, who happens to be a stand-up comic. Who says all stand up comedians have baggage? Not this guy. Get ready to swoon ladies...and some fellas! Questions include: I have a great life, but lost my fun hobbies, help? My boyfriend wants me to send dirty pics but I'm scared, should I? I'm a white teenager and I want to date a black guy in my school, but what if my parents freak! Follow this hilarious guy on Twitter: twitter.com/pa...

Dear Mattie Show 034: Aaron Krebs

I mean, how can you not laugh at that expression. Aaron was my improv teacher years ago and I've been dying to have him on the show and finally schedules collided. He's the definition of a-dork-able. Very Funny Show! Questions include: My best friend won't stop talking about her new health supplement business and I'm going crazy. My girlfriend wants to watch while I get down with another girl, is this real life? I'm back on the market, but how do I approach the ladies when I'm at a bar? Find Aa...

Dear Mattie Show 033: Megan Heyn

When Megan Heyn isn't starring in shows like NBC's Mulaney, Don't Trust the B--- In Apartment 23, working with legends like Martin Short andamp; Penny Marshall, she's hanging out with me in our PJ's watching Hayley Mills movies. She. Is. A. Joy. And with her wicked sense of humor, she makes a great guest with some good advice. In fact she gave better advice than me when I became incensed by a listener's question...grr. Topics include: My ex-husband won't grow up but I still have to deal with him...

Dear Mattie Show 032: Matt Marr and Scott Lyons

Scott Lyons is a husband, father, and an "accidental activist." A letter to his high school teacher blew up and suddenly millions of people were inspired by his story--I'm sure you will be too. Also I do a FANTASTIC Tom Hardy impression in this episode. Stellar! Questions include: How do I get over the fear of leaving my baby with a sitter? Will my short hair make me look like a lesbian? I'm a school teacher who's sick of teaching, so should I go back to school? See omnystudio.com/listener for ...

Dear Mattie Show 031: Dufflyn Lammers

Dufflyn is probably one of the most straight-shooting guests to be on the show. It's actually what I love about her most, she keeps it real and tells it like it is. Yet, she is still kind and caring. I'm sorry but having someone "tell it like it is" and making you feel like a terrible person does not work for me--or for Dufflyn either. She also might have the most romantic story of meeting her boyfriend that I have ever heard of in my life! Check out her great SUPER informative Actors blog: htt...

Dear Mattie Show 030: Ori Kalmus

I mean, look at that picture. Don't you just wanna hug Ori Kalmus?! Okay maybe I have a crush on my guest-not the first time, won't be the last time sugars. But for real, what I love about Ori is that he strives to be better and to connect with others along his way. He is one of those friends that everytime I look at his Facebook status, he's starting some adventure that makes me think, "I WANT TO DO THAT!" Take a listen to this episode and get inspired. P.S. Ori might have one of the BEST answe...

Dear Mattie Show 029: Tone Bell

You know when a person is just smooth? The kind of guy who can be classy, a lil' sexy, a lotta funny, and just plain fun to be around? That's Tone. Lord his girlfriend is lucky. I met him at stand up event sponsored by NBC and we've been friends ever since. Tone also has some great life advice, straight for his heart.His career is skyrocketing with his latest stint on NBC's BAD JUDGE, and he has more shows in the works. Inspiring!

Killian is the definition of a self-made man. He's a successful actor, Casting Director, Accomplished teacher, dog-lover, and someone who prides himself on Truth Talking (that's a nice way of saying he doesn't put up with BS, sugars!) Fun show with some tell it like it is advice! Question include: How as a mother do I find calm in a hectic life? I'm having a dream I'm making out with an ex-boyfriend...help!

Dear Mattie Show 027: Steph Tolev

I actually almost pee-ed in my pants the first time I met Steph Tolev. Not. Kidding. I saw her at a stand up show, and she was just one of the funniest and quirky comics I've seen in a long time. She's a huge hit in Canada and she will be coming to LA soon permanently. I'm glad I got her on the show before she gets famous y'all...for real. I haven't laughed this much in a show in a long time. I also get to discuss my love for Shania Twain! P.S. Mom this show is NOT for you. Steph and I get a lil...

Dear Mattie Show 026: Shawn Pelofsky

Shawn Pelofsky truly is the Superhero of the Gays. She puts the capital "A" in the word Ally. I love hearing her story of being Jewish in the middle of Oklahoma, it reminds me that we all have things as children that make us feel alone, and those things make us stronger. Also she has some great stories of her travels doing comedy, literally all over the world! Questions include: I'm in an interracial relationship and my dad doesn't approve, WTF?; Help! I'm can't stop eating sweets!; What the F**...

Dear Mattie Show 025: Leila Kenzle

When I was younger, Mad About You was maybe one of my favorite sitcoms on NBC. Little did I know that one day I would be interviewing one of it's stars, Leila Kenzle on my show. Life surprises you sugars. In fact, Leila is just a surprise. She was at the TOP of the actor chain in Hollywood she had "MADE IT", yet she decided to switch gears and become a fantastic Marriage andamp; Family Therapist working in Los Angeles. She's a true example that fame and money don't make you happy. She also is FA...

Dear Mattie Show 024: Your Listener Questions

Well it IS Valentine's Day weekend...so of course I got stood up for my show. I mean hey, it happens. But good things come to those who are lonely...wait that's not right. But since I was in the mood to do a show, I thought why not ask about some of your questions about me. This is a short episode, and don't you worry...next week we will be back to the old format. Still, this was fun to answer your questions, I'll do it next time I get stood up! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati...

Dear Mattie Show 023: Nelson Henderson and Kenny Suarez

I told you my agents are pretty. Kenny and Nelson run Brick Entertainment and I gotta say these two are just ethical, good guys. I always imagined that an agent would be like Estelle from FRIENDS, you know Joey Tribiani's agent?! Well I was wrong sugars. Personally, I liked doing this episode because I got to know two people I know in a business context and now I'm more familiar with them in a personal sense...wait that sounded dirty. I just meant I like getting to know strangers in a more intim...
