  Episode 103: Solo Pod: The Lion's Gate Is Open

  Aug 12, 202625 minS1

  It's been a busy couple of weeks. This one's a bit of everything: shitty sleep once your kids are "sleep trained," what I actually did with the Lion's Gate portal, an honest check-in on the goals I set after my London trip, and the real headline: what two and a half weeks of borrowing my 14-year-old nephew taught me about parenting, boundaries, and whether three kids is in my future (SPOILER ITS NOT).

  Episode 102: Angela Nissel: Laughing in the face of death

  Aug 5, 20261h 33mS1

  Angela Nissel has lived several lives: co-founder of OkayPlayer with Questlove, author of The Broke Diaries, longtime TV writer and executive producer on Scrubs, Ginny & Georgia, Mixed-ish, and The Last O.G. We talk about being pushed out of the community she built, the complicated relationship with her mother that shaped her latest book Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom's Dead, caretaking her mom through the final month of her life, and how she fell in love with a WWE Hall of Famer through a dog-fostering account on Twitter. This one covers grief, race, comedy writers' rooms, and the strange humor that shows up in the hardest moments.

  Episode #101

  Episode 101: Queensylvia Akuchie: Dress for the life you want

  Jul 29, 202652 minS1

  An archival re-release, going all the way back to episode two of the pod. Queensylvia Akuchie is an NAACP-nominated costume designer with over 20 years in the industry, the first costume designer for the Oprah Winfrey Network, and the woman behind the wardrobe on hit show Bel-Air. She's worked with Denzel Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, and Tyler Perry, and she's done it all while raising her daughter Simi on her own. We talk about walking away from a law degree her Nigerian immigrant parents expected, cold emailing her way into the industry, being the only Black woman in rooms for most of her career, the uncanny timing of her mother's death and her daughter's birth, and choosing to leave a relationship because she refused to let her daughter feel what she'd been feeling.

  Episode 100: The long distance commune

  Jul 22, 20261h 30mS1

  We made it to 100 episodes, and there was only one way to celebrate: bringing on the two friends who inspired this whole project in the first place. Jenna and Becca and I met in a Brooklyn apartment building through our dogs (yes, a hairball that looked like a piece of poop is genuinely how Jenna and I bonded), and years, weddings, miscarriages, a pandemic, and five kids later, we're still in it together. We get into how we built a friendship without ever merging our friend groups, what it actually looks like to divide labor across three very different marriages, the invisible mental load debate that never quite resolves, and why validation from your people matters more than being told you're right.

  Episode 99: Kurt Braunohler: Commercially Absurd

  Jul 15, 20261 hourS1

  Kurt Braunohler is a prolific comedian, writer, actor, and co-host of the podcast That's Bananas. His stand-up has been featured on The Tonight Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Conan, and The Late Late Show with James Corden, and he had a supporting role in The Big Sick. He grew up an only child in Asbury Park, New Jersey, raised almost entirely by his single mom, a pediatric nurse whose parenting philosophy came down to unconditional love. Now that he's up to bat raising his own two kids with his wife Lauren, he's not wasting a second of it.
