Sage-Based Wisdom

Jana and Brian discuss the emotional manipulation of dog TikTok, the terrifying freedom of being single with no responsibilities, and why getting canceled on feels better than receiving flowers. Along the way, they spiral through Beyoncé concert economics, the “burnt toast theory,” gay men motorboating Jana in New York, and the psychological depths of bimbofication via Brian Noem’s alleged balloon tits. They also advise a listener dealing with bullying siblings by encouraging hobbies, vengeance, and the philosophy that sometimes you really do have to punch a bully in the face.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian and filmmaker Blake Pickens to discuss Seattle, Native comedy crowds, sleep schedules that signal either wellness or unemployment, and whether couples actually need to live together to be in love. Along the way, they debate Pearl Jam, eagle feather etiquette, Oklahoma rivalries, and relationship fart milestones. They give  listener with suspiciously dramatic family drama involving an oil-rich sister and emotionally distant siblings.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Blake Pickens (@blakepickens)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian discuss Botox, secret nice apartments, fry bread innovation, and whether human composting is actually the most ethical way to die. Along the way, they unpack whale intelligence, tramp stamp aspirations, and why powdered sugar might secretly be a lethal topping. A listener writes in wondering if they’re too emotionally attached to their cat, and the hosts deliver deeply conflicting advice. FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are back in their ménage à trois era (you, them, and the listener) and covering everything from Jana’s mysterious upcoming hockey movie to Brian’s road life revelations and questionable wellness choices. They break down a chaotic Instagram reel full of woo-woo advice, debate gratitude lists, and spiral into stories about road rage, touring struggles, and stomach issues. A listener writes in about a hot, age-secretive coworker, and Jana and Brian put their investigative skills to work. Come for the manifestation tips, stay for the emotional vulnerability and deeply unserious wisdom.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian discuss Brian's travels to NYC for shows and his feelings about being back in the city they both love. Jana spills the tea about basement shows and how every comedian should be grateful for any performance venues. Jana plays an Instagram reel about applying for a job whilst on the rag, and the two give out scholarly advice to a caller. FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana, Brian, and special guest Marcella Arguello (Bitch, Grow Up, Abbott Elementary) get into everything from the chaos of comedy touring to the very real question of whether LA is still “the place” to be. Marcella shares why she left California for Chicago and how stepping away from the industry grind created space for clarity, growth, and better comedy, while the group spirals (productively) through celebrity culture, TikTok advice, and why everyone is, at their core, just a little nosy. A caller asks about making a Choctaw vampire hunter spin-off connected to Sinners which gives us a deep dive in commentary on how projects actually get made and the gap between audience ideas vs. industry reality. The conversation turns inward with a surprisingly honest dive into therapy, relationships, and the difference between hearing advice and actually doing the work. Plus some classic Sage-Based Wisdom chaos about dry chicken diets, watchtower alter egos, and who in the friend group is actually contributing to the village. They determine: Your environment matters more than you think, most people already know what they should do but avoid doing it, and real growth usually looks like making uncomfortable changes. Move cities, find the right therapist, or finally season your damn food.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Marcella Arguello (@marcellacomedy)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are back in their internet episode era (no guest today!) as they spiral from pandemic nostalgia and saxophone karaoke lore into TikTok discourse, pajama teens, and why straight men should maybe… just kiss. A listener question about getting soaked while doing dishes leads to surprisingly real advice: you might just be doing everything too fast. The takeaway? Not everything needs to be on “high.” Permission granted to slow down, be a little more intentional, and you’ll save yourself some mess (in the sink and in life). From bodega-level reads to midriff-soaking chaos, this episode is honest, messy, and really still makes sense!FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian, writer, and cultural critic Danielle Perez (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Overcompensating, The Night Agent, Ballard) for a wildly unhinged episode that spirals from political scandal and discourse into the ethics of kink, TMZ as the new people’s press, and the increasingly blurred line between power, performance, and delusion. Along the way, they unpack chaotic internet rabbit holes, airport people-watching as a sport, and the strange cultural moment where everything feels both deeply cursed and incredibly funny. A listener prompt sparks a conversation about navigating creativity and life when everything feels overwhelming, and the advice is refreshingly real: stay curious, follow what genuinely makes you laugh (even if it’s niche or messy), and don’t wait to be “perfect” or “ready” to participate. Whether it’s comedy, content, or just surviving the timeline, the key is to engage, experiment, and trust your instincts because clarity rarely comes first, but momentum does.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Hayden Johnson (@divadelux)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Hayden Johnson (Funny or Die, Netflix is a Joke, New York Comedy Festival) for a delightfully unhinged dive into van life fantasies, the undeniable hotness of smoking (unfortunately), and the growing suspicion that straight men might, in fact, be the gayest among us. From chaotic industry stories and accidental green room segregation to \a fully realized business plan for a nationwide gay bar van hookup tour, the trio spiral through topics like health nihilism (“everything causes cancer, so fuck it”), Mad Men–induced cigarette cravings, and the erotic undertones of hockey stretches. A listener calls in asking how to stay creative and consistent in comedy writing, and Jana, Brian, and Hayden offer advice rooted in reality: abandon the myth of perfect discipline, capture ideas however they come (voice memos in the shower, notes app in bed, panic-writing minutes before stage), and create external accountability. The only real way to get better is to get up, bomb, adjust, and try again. Ultimately, it’s an episode about giving yourself permission to be messy, following the bit wherever it leads, and trusting that your creative voice will show up. Usually at the worst possible time, but still right on time.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Hayden Johnson (@_hayden_johnson)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Tommy Do (Overcompensating, The Other Two, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, People We Meet On Vacation, and Hacks) for a chaotic, globe-trotting, and deeply unserious exploration of solo vacations, gay gym culture, and the increasingly cursed state of the internet. From Fort Lauderdale nude beaches and “living for the plot” to Japan travel prep, international sunscreen conspiracies, and the quiet psychological spiral of leaving TikTok, the trio bounce between existential insights and absolute nonsense at breakneck speed. Along the way, they debate whether astrology is real (or just collectively manifested), unpack the subtle horrors of Threads, and attempt to reset Brian’s Hinge algorithm live on air. A listener calls in after being pushed out of her family for coming out as bisexual and simply answering her niece’s questions with honesty. Jana and Brian unpack the painful reality of conditional love, the power of being the “cool aunt” who shows up authentically, and what it means to choose yourself when your family won’t. They offer advice on navigating rejection, building chosen family, and why sometimes the most powerful move is simple: slay, move away, and let them deal with the consequences.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Tommy Do (@tommy__do)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Sam Taggart (StraightioLab) for a wide-ranging and deeply unserious investigation into gay travel lore, Mr. B&B, and why Fort Lauderdale might be the spiritual home of the “I’m so back” mindset. Along the way they spiral into Speedos, secret vacations, Japan travel stories, and the philosophical highs and lows of declaring yourself “so back” only for life to immediately prove you wrong. A lesbian firefighter calls in asking how to survive working with increasingly outspoken conservative coworkers without spending all day arguing with them. The trio breaks down the art of choosing your battles in hostile environments, the strange politics of firehouse culture, and how humor (and a well-timed roast) might be the most effective survival strategy.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Sam Taggart (@samtaggart)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Zach Noe Towers (E!, Comedy Central, Netflix, Good Sod Pod) for a chaotic, deeply educational exploration of gay hookup apps and the complicated taxonomy of twinks, otters, bears, and daddies. The trio debates sobriety, weed as a coping mechanism for the horrors, and whether personal growth in your 40s is just finally caring less during sex. In the advice segment, a listener asks how to survive working with a stubborn 71-year-old coworker who seems to clash only with her. Jana and Brian unpack the generational tension, projection dynamics, and the delicate art of choosing when to confront someone versus when to disengage.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Zach Noe Towers (@zachnoetowers)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

This week, Jana and Brian are joined by poet and writer Tommy Pico for an episode that spirals from fart science to social media detoxing, cousin jealousy lore, and Tribal Chairman drag names. Along the way, they invent new anatomy terminology, debate lying for mystique, and remind you that everything is connected…including your microbiome. A grad student called in after being accepted to two conferences a day apart, and then finding out she’s receiving an award at one on the same day she’s supposed to present at the other.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Tommy Pico (@tommypicoprints)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Joined by television writer Michelle Davis (After Midnight, Ziwe, A Black Lady Sketch Show), the conversation ricochets from pickup basketball and dating lore to Zoom romance during the pandemic. The trio unpacks the chaos of writers’ rooms, getting canceled six months after signing a lease, and why West Hollywood can spiritually exhaust even the strongest among us. They spiral into pandemic panic attacks, cereal-based coping mechanisms, and unhinged therapist takes. In the advice segment, they discuss if Heated Rivalry is humanizing gay athletes, proving once again that the wisdom is unsolicited, occasionally profound, and always delivered with love.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Michelle Davis (@mdavis94)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian dive headfirst into TikTok withdrawals and Instagram Reels methadone. Brian recommits to finishing his stand-up hour after what he calls a “comedy sabbatical,” Jana productivity-maxes on antidepressants, and together they unpack algorithm slop bowls, Threads nostalgia, Land Back discourse, and why every app now feels like it was invented by a supervillain. In the advice segment, a soon-to-graduate listener wonders whether to pursue grad school, move home, or chase community and love elsewhere. This prompts a heartfelt (and chaotic) counsel about quitting jobs, moving to big cities, and refusing to let federal funding or avoidant Native men derail your dreams. It’s equal parts cultural commentary, career crisis hotline, and cold-brew-fueled delusion.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian welcome a very special guest straight from Jana’s bedroom to the couch musician and Gen X icon, Steve Jenkins. Hear them talk Succession finale worship, Mad Men propaganda, wallet chains, gay fashion crimes, and whether rich people are, in fact, the worst. Along the way hear from Brian about his ongoing existential crisis about becoming a daily vlogger in pursuit of filming a stand-up special. In the advice segment, a listener asks about cursed college fashion phases and “wise” advice that turned out to be completely wrong…which unlocks jeans-under-skirts discourse and a surprisingly passionate defense of leaning into your cringe era.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest AND Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

NOTE: This episode was recorded in early January.This week on Sage-Based Wisdom, Jana and Brian ping-pong from SAT scores and stress dreams to Bri’s week-three vlog era, construction chaos, and a renewed commitment to 2026 being the Year of the Bitch™. AKA stop people-pleasing, start roasting the powerful, and please keep your eyes on the alley. In the advice section, a listener doesn’t even ask for advice… she blesses us with a dispatch from Earth Haven, an eco-village in North Carolina that’s giving dry toilets, tantric retreat flashbacks, and “is this a cult?” energy, which launches Jana and Brian into a full investigation + a pitch for Brian’s new moonlighting career as an $800/hour massage therapist.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Joined by stand-up comedian and longtime NYC sketch scene legend Brigid Boyle, the conversation spirals from cosmetic procedures, aging, dating, desire, power, and why fantasy is often hotter than reality. Together, they unpack slut energy vs. slut behavior, fear of commitment, and the psychological thrill (and terror) of actually being seen by another person. The trio dives deep into roleplay fantasies, Taylor Swift level yearning, why early-stage dating gives some people hives, and whether anyone actually wants to poop in the same bathroom as their partner. In the advice segment, they tackle internet moralizing around pleasure and addiction, the loneliness baked into modern scrolling culture, and whether community can really save us from ourselves. A caller asks how to renegotiate a salary after realizing their paycheck is not what they expected. As always, the advice is unsolicited, occasionally useful, and delivered with love. Zero refunds.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Brigid Boyle (@brigidboy)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian spiral productively into a full-blown stand-up special intervention. What starts as a casual check-in turns into a radical commitment to being delulu on purpose: chasing a Hulu/Netflix special, vlogging the process, and refusing to wait for permission. Along the way, they unpack rage as creative fuel, why bombing is actually essential to comedy, clowning vs. cringe, and whether stand-up belongs at protests, sit-ins, and the mall. The episode swerves hard into Taco Bell discourse (bag sizes, nacho fries, merch capitalism), holiday gift reveals, and the deep emotional power of a good bolo tie. A caller asks for real advice on creating culture camps and teen nights for Native youth, prompting a grounded conversation about food, vulnerability, not being corny, and how intergenerational community actually gets built. Bottom line: feed people, make a fool of yourself first, choose momentum over fear, and if the system won’t give you a platform... so build one anyway.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Joined by friend of the show and Loud About Nothing co-host Sebastian Conelli, the conversation ricochets from Staten Island Italians on the internet to dating when you’re broke, busy, and spiritually exhausted. Things get intimate: giver vs. receiver energy, workaholism killing romance, Gilmore Girls as a roadmap to softness, and why third spaces are disappearing (and what Brian has unfortunately replaced them with). The episode also delivers peak New York storytelling with examples of public crying, subway kindness, snow trash, sanitation worker appreciation, and multiple absolutely harrowing “I shit my pants in public” confessions. A caller asks for petty answers only after being humiliated by a former friend-with-benefits who tried to rope them into a threesome with a pretendian. They answer: You don’t owe politeness to people who crossed your boundaries and sometimes the most healing move is choosing yourself, loudly.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Sebastian Conelli (@sebastianconelli)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian kick off 2026, immediately spiraling into New Year “goals,” scammy influencer fitness plans, and the bleak reality that January is just a crowded gym with a calendar. Then the episode takes a HARD pivot into politics and Indigenous rage: Kristi Noem catching strays, a crash course in colonization, and the debut of the White Relocation Act–complete with a “five white passes” draft list for allies, boyfriends, and essential celebs. Finally, two callers bring the real: burnout from nonprofit/legal work and the emotional trap of serving your community at the expense of your own health. Jana and Brian deliver the only advice that matters: set boundaries like your life depends on it (because it does), make a strategic pivot if you need to, and let Gilmore Girls guide your career arc straight into your Paddington-era softness!FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana hosts a chaotic-perfect Sage Based Wisdom LIVE with guest co-host Sierra Teller Ornelas (Rutherford Falls), turning a packed room into the newest batch of callers. With Brian tragically missing in snowy Montreal, the night spirals from Indigenous snow art submissions to nepo vendor lore, cookie-snob confessions, and a surprisingly tender TikTok moment about getting older (and getting freer). Podcast and musical guest Xiuhtezcatl joins for laughs, life talk, and sweet-breakfast philosophy before the audience takes the mic: from powwow snagging etiquette to favorite places in Mexico, to one of the most heartfelt questions of the night, how to feel more confident as your authentic self.

Jana and Brian ring in the end of the year with a recap episode that spirals from Montreal mishaps and icy travel tales to totaled cars, high-stakes auditions, and the sacred wisdom of never ignoring a bad vibe. They reflect on a year of building community, teaching audition workshops, surviving industry collapse, and learning when to show up… and when to conserve energy. They revisit favorite moments from the year, listener messages, hemorrhoid updates, truck culture, and why embracing a little messiness might be the healthiest move for 2026. A caller asks the question, "why doesn’t producer John have a mic?” and another caller leaves a note as a “certified sager.”FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Nori Reed (Raven’s Home, After Midnight, HBO, Showtime) for a long-overdue redo episode after a tragically corrupted audio file. Together, they unpack the algorithm’s favorite “wisdom,” debate whether quarter-zips thin culture, and grocery store inflation are all signs of late-stage capitalism, and share recession-era survival tips ranging from refund confidence and rejection therapy to accidentally buying 20 bunches of kale at Whole Foods. The conversation swerves from self-help grifters and body politics to fascism and why everything suddenly costs $80, before diving into listener advice when a Bay Area pastry chef asks what people actually want from a bakery case.

Jana and Brian spiral gloriously from BBL surgeries and Beverly Hills housewife culture into foam-roller TikTok propaganda, pony herpes panic, and whether big cities are dying. A crash-course in medical tourism leads to faja talk, band-of-horses discourse, and Brian’s dream of a 10K population town with surgically-enhanced friends. Jana goes long on her Kristi Noem vendetta (and Brian maybe follows her husband), while horse stables quarantine like a soap opera. This week’s caller asks how to end things with a sweet but not-quite-right guy and gets a crash course in guilt-free breakups, clean exits, and why you can’t protect someone from their own feelings.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?

Jana and Brian welcome writer/comedian/professor Amy Silverberg (Comedy Central, Hulu, JFL, Amazon Prime, Don’t Tell) and author of her debut novel “First Time, Long Time,” for an episode that ricochets from news-anchor bloopers to Krampus Christmas lore. A deep dive on the iconic Grape Lady video spirals into internet nostalgia, Thanksgiving chaos, and why canceling the holidays for “political reasons” is actually just good self-care. Amy unpacks the toll of teaching Gen Z, Brian reveals the WeHo gym hookup that turned out to be Amy’s former boss, and Jana shares her secret bad-girl origin story.

Jana and Brian welcome comedian and internet fave Leah Rudick for an episode that starts with psychedelics and ends in full rot advocacy. A viral clip kicks off a talk about women no longer needing men and how patriarchy is still out here with tiny weiner energy. This week’s caller asks if it’s okay to “rot” instead of doing perfect self-care.
