Boneheads with Emily Deschanel and Carla Gallo

Brennan and Booth are here to save the day (as always) in this comic-book-themed episode about a young, nerdy “superhero” who died protecting others. Emily has plenty of cold goss, including why she was in tears while filming, and how Aaron Paul’s guest appearance as a morose comic store owner/artist with swoopy bangs might have launched his career. Plus, Carla recounts working with Aaron years later on a huge blockbuster. Later on, this episode’s writer, Elizabeth Benjamin, calls in from her writers room during lunch break to give her insights on how they created such a fully realized world for the comics-obsessed teens at the center of the story. 

Please note: Emily and Carla recorded this episode before the Los Angeles wildfires began. You'll hear them talk about a recent audition which happened a few weeks ago. Emily and Carla are safe and their hearts are with the rest of their LA community.

We are so thrilled to be joined today by Eric Millegan — that’s right, the one and only Zackaroni, Zack Addy! Emily and Eric’s friendship has endured long after the cameras stopped rolling, and it’s time for them to catch up, reminisce and gossip. Eric recounts the story of the charmed trip to LA when he landed the role of Zack, and how it all coincided with his diagnosis and treatment for bipolar disorder. Emily and Eric share plenty of stories from set, and Eric explains how it all went down when he found out he wasn’t going to be a series regular. Plus, Carla discusses why she feels her (and her character’s) fate is so entwined with Eric’s. It’s an all Zack-cess interview with everyone’s favorite genius (who can’t drive)!

Today we’re sharing an episode of a show we think you’ll love! It’s called Fail Better and it’s hosted by David Duchony from the X Files and Californication. Fail Better focuses on our collective fear of failure through conversations with artists, athletes, actors, writers, and more about how it’s actually failure – not success – that shapes who we are. Each week, he will chat with guests like Ben Stiller, Rosie O’Donnell, Bette Midler and more about how our perceived failures have actually been catalysts for growth, revelation, and even healing.

In this episode, David chats with Gillian Anderson, the Dana Scully to his Fox Mulder. The two X Files co-stars got a chance to open up about the ways they might have failed one another during that wild ride, and examine the ways they’ve grown since.

This week, we’re sharing a show called Born To Love. It’s hosted by Ellie Kemper (from The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and her fantastically funny friend, Scott Eckert. And on this show, people talk about what they love!

Every week, Ellie and Scott sit down with a special guest, and the whole episode is focused on that guest’s secret passion, their favorite hobby, or whatever makes them light up. These are the kinds of conversations where you find out a whole new side of people you thought you knew. Like, Jenna Fischer is obsessed with Keanu Reeves movies, and Randall Park just ran the NYC Marathon.

In this episode of Born to Love, you’ll hear from Brian Baumgartner, otherwise known as Kevin from The Office. After you hear this episode, search for Born to Love wherever you get your podcast or head to https://lemonada.lnk.to/BornToLovefd

The jury’s out on whether or not he’s king of the lab, but there’s no doubt about it – T.J. Thyne is the king of our hearts. Emily and Carla sit down (or should we say, snuggle up) with T.J. Thyne, their friend and Bones co-star who played the secretly rich bug and slime expert slash conspiracy theorist, Jack Hodgins, on all 12 seasons of the show. T.J. talks about how he got cast on Bones, his favorite memories from set, and his on-screen chemistry with Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro). Plus, T.J. tells the story of how he and Emily got in trouble while shooting the pilot episode of Bones.
