Deep Night Season 12: Ariel Leaty

Dale dishes on the state of the world and the healing power of a well baked lemon loaf with his guest, comedian Ariel Leaty. Connecting from quarantine and with an abrupt ending due to a low battery, the two still manage to use what time they have to bond over Food Network stars, sad days in Animal Crossing, and the troubles with New Jersey. Ariel and Dale also discuss dishes worth actually dying for. Plus Dale tracks the length of his quarantine beard but is resisting going to the barber. After four months inside, what’s another eight?

Because we talked so much about food this episode, Dale’s re-upping his donations to The Okra Project, which helps ensure that black trans people have consistent and safe access to healthy, culturally specific meals.
