This week’s episode of Unqualified offers equal parts laughter and life lessons as Anna and Sim welcome podcasting-aficionado, talented filmmaker, actor, comedian, comic book writer, and author - the legendary Kevin Smith (aka Silent Bob)!

You’ll quickly learn that there’s nothing silent about Silent Bob as he opens up about everything from the Fleshlight to his near-death experience to his most important life lessons.

The episode kicks off with Kevin’s personal account of his recent massive heart attack – which he delivers with the hysterical wit and humor that only a comedic genius such as himself could do. You don’t want to miss this incredibly inspiring, and strangely funny, story.

After Kevin gets over the initial shock of learning that Unqualified is an advice podcast, the team talks to Katherine, 25, from Nashville who is unsure how to handle an inappropriate situation with her husband’s best friend. Next up, Ali, a songwriter from New York, is seeking advice for how to cope with feelings of envy and guilt surrounding her slightly more successful songwriter boyfriend.
